    Two days later, east of Moling City.

    It was approaching evening, and only the last ray of light remained from the setting sun, dyeing Zhongshan in the east of Moling City with a blood-like veil.

    On the small road east of Zhongshan Mountain, an army was marching silently, and the big flag with the word "zhu" was flying in the mountain wind.

    At the front of the team, the tall military commander was stationed on the hillside, looking at Moling from afar.

    The sound of horse hooves sounded, and a scout came galloping from the west.

    "General, go over the mountain road ahead, and then ten miles away is the Yan Army's North Camp. There are about 5,000 enemy soldiers stationed in the camp."

    "Five thousand enemy soldiers" Zhu Huan frowned slightly, thinking and weighing secretly.

    As a powerful man in Wu County, Zhu Huan was appointed as an official by Sun Quan. As the leader of Yuyao, he stationed troops in Wu County to suppress the rebellion of Shanyue people.

    After Yan Liang launched a massive attack, Zhu Huan and He Qi followed Sun Quan's orders and led their troops to resist Wei Yan's attack from Poyang County and protect the hinterland of Sanwu.

    Now that Moling was under siege, Zhou Yu supported his own troops and Sun Quan had no troops to use, so he had to urgently mobilize Zhu Huan to lead 3,000 troops and 100,000 troops to relieve the siege of Moling.

    Although Yan Liang had an army of 50,000, Zhang Liao's troops in the north of the Yangtze River were responsible for guarding Zhou Yu in Huainan, so there were only 40,000 troops that could be used to siege Moling.

    ? And Moling City is very wide, and 40,000 soldiers and horses can only form a siege to key points, but they cannot surround the entire Moling City. Therefore, Moling City's connection with the outside world has never been severed.

    Two days ago, when Zhu Huan was still on the way to Moling, he received a secret order from Sun Quan. After receiving this secret order, Zhu Huan changed his marching route and took a trail to cover his whereabouts.

    "Five thousand enemy soldiers, if attacked from both inside and outside, may not be able to defeat the enemy."

    Zhu Huan nodded secretly, his slightly frowning brows relaxed, and his stern face showed a strong sense of confidence.

    After a few glances from a distance, Zhu Huan pointed his silver spear and shouted loudly: "Send the order to the entire army to speed up the march. We must reach Moling City before dark."

    Three thousand tired Wu soldiers quickened their pace and rushed towards Moling.

    When night fell, Zhu Huan and his three thousand soldiers and horses finally crossed the Zhongshan Trail and entered the east of Moling City.

    On the top of Yuanma Mountain, Zhu Huan raised his eyes and looked into the distance, but he saw the enemy camp not far in front of the mountain. It was brightly lit and smoke was everywhere. It looked quiet and did not seem to be aware of it at all.

    Zhu Huan's face covered with sweat showed a hint of ferocity, and he shouted sternly: "The whole army is resting on the spot. Just wait for the signal from the lord, and attack from inside and outside to destroy the enemy camp in one fell swoop."

    ¡­¡­

    Yan Jun is in the north camp.

    Yan Liang was riding his horse for inspection, with Pang Tong following closely behind him.

    Veteran Huang Zhong rushed over and said loudly: "Your Majesty, our scouts have just discovered that traces of Wu Jun have been found in the Zhongshan area."

    Yan Liang glanced at Pang Tongyi and said with a smile: "Shiyuan, it seems that what you and I expected is indeed good."

    Pang Tong lightly stroked his short beard and nodded slightly: "Now that the Wu army has arrived at Zhongshan, I believe they will take action tonight. My lord, it is time to make Sun Quan completely despair."

    A few days ago, when Sun Quan happily agreed to send his sister-in-law Da Qiao and nephew Sun Shao as peace gifts, Yan Liang and Pang Tong both suspected that Sun Quan must be up to something.

    Thinking about it, Sun Quan had less than 10,000 soldiers in the city and his morale was low. In addition to relying on external forces, what other tricks could Sun Quan use.

    Therefore, Yan Liang suddenly remembered that he had reported in detail a few days ago that Zhu Huan was leading troops from Wu County towards Moling. So, Sun Quan's strategy was most likely to induce him to relax his vigilance by asking for peace, and then take the opportunity to fight with Zhu Huan.  The foreign troops attacked from inside and outside together and defeated the Zhongshan North Camp where their troops were farther east.

    If the northern camp is lost, the Wu people's morale will definitely rise. If they lose 5,000 troops and horses, Yan Liang's siege army will only have more than 30,000 troops, but Sun Quan's troops and horses will increase.  The chances of defeating Moling will be greatly reduced.

    Yan Liang had figured this out, and Pang Tong had naturally figured it out, so he suggested that Yan Liang make a plan.

    Now Sun Quan sent someone to inform that Da Qiao and his son would be sent to Stone City tonight. Soon after, Zhongshan discovered traces of reinforcements from the Wu army.

    Such a coincidence just confirmed the guesses of Yan Liang and Pang Tong.

    Hearing Pang Tong's words, Yan Liang's stern face was filled with murderous intent, and he raised his whip and said: "Send the order and order all the generals to follow the plan tonight. Let's let that boy Biyan'er know what he means."  It¡¯s true despair.¡±

    ¡­¡­

    The night is already dark, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

    On the east wall of Mocheng, Sun Quan, who was fully armored, looked at the lights in the direction of Zhongshan with a solemn expression.

    He knew that that was where the enemy camp was.

    The expression on Sun Quan's face was quite complicated. While he was confident, he was even more uneasy.

    After all, he has suffered repeated defeats since his fight with Yan Liang. At this time, he no longer has absolute confidence that he can defeat that devilish opponent without fail.

    "My lord, Zhu Xiumu is unparalleled in bravery, and with Chen Zilie responding from within, we will be able to break through the enemy camp with a pincer attack from both inside and outside."

    Seeing that Sun Quan's confidence seemed to be lacking, Lu Su confidently encouraged Sun Quan.

    Sun Quan nodded slightly, and his expression became firm.

    At this time, Chen Wu, who was fully armed, reached the top of the city, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, all the guardsmen are ready to go. Please let me know."

    Sun Quan glanced at the city, and saw two thousand men of tigers and bears, all lined up under the city.

    The two thousand Suwei soldiers were either veterans who followed Sun Ce to pacify Jiangdong, or their nephews. Not only were they extremely capable in combat, they were also loyal to the Sun family.

    Looking at the entire Jiangdong, the only people who can truly be called elites are the two thousand guards in front of us.

    "Zi Lie, I leave all the last elites of my Sun family to you. Tonight you are responsible for the rise and fall of the entire Jiangdong. Don't let me down."

    Sun Quan patted Chen Wu on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.

    Chen Wu¡¯s face was like a blazing fire, and he said with emotion: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, my lord, I will eventually receive your lord¡¯s kindness. I will fight to the death tonight to repay my lord¡¯s kindness.¡±

    With Chen Wu¡¯s words, Sun Quan was relieved a lot.

    Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard this and said happily: "Okay, now that Zilie is out, there is nothing to worry about. It's not early, so let's go."

    Chen Wu did not hesitate, descended to the city wall, led two thousand guardsmen, walked out of the gradually opened city gate, and slowly walked into the night.

    Sun Quan stood at the top of the city, watching the only remaining possessions of his family disappear into the night, and suddenly felt a physical pain.

    After sighing secretly, Sun Quan gestured to Lu Su.

    Lu Su then shouted: "Light the trumpet quickly."

    The soldiers on the left and right got busy, and within a short time, three beacon fires were lit at the top of the city.

    The night was deep, and the red flames were extremely clear, and could be clearly seen for dozens of miles around.

    A few miles away, Yan Liang in the North Camp of Zhongshan naturally saw the three piles of trumpets at the top of Moling City.

    "You always light three beacon fires as a signal, can't you guys try some new methods" Yan Liang, who was standing on his horse and holding a sword, looked at the city head from a distance, with a sneer on his lips.

    In the dark night, more than ten thousand well-fed Yan Jun soldiers were hiding in the darkness, staring eagerly at the darkness outside the camp.

    The entire Zhongshan North Camp is said to have only 5,000 troops, but over the past few days, Yan Liang has secretly deployed a large number of troops.

    In addition to the 10,000 soldiers and horses in the camp, there are many more soldiers and horses, hiding in the darkness, like opportunistic hungry wolves, waiting for their prey to take the bait.

    In the quiet night, Yan Liang suddenly smelled something strange.

    The instinct of a top military general made him aware that there were countless murderous intentions coming towards him from the other end of his field of vision.

    The wind started blowing, and the flags roared.

    Suddenly, shouts of killing arose like a tide, and countless Wu troops suddenly burst out of the darkness like ghosts and rushed toward the camp gate.

    Under the light of the torch, the army of the Wu people who robbed the camp appeared as promised.

    Chen Wu, who was rushing at the front, waved the long knife in his hand and whipped his horse like crazy, as if he wanted to dump all his long-simmered anger into this surprise attack.

    "You thief Yan Liang wants to destroy me Jiangdong and humiliate my lord. I, Chen Wu, will kill your majesty tonight to let you know that I, the son of Jiangdong, am not someone who can be bullied by others!"

    While thinking, Chen Wu wielded his sword and shouted: "Jiangdong's sons, rush into the enemy camp, kill all those Jingzhou people, and let the enemy know how powerful our Jiangdong soldiers are-"

    Amidst the loud shouts, two thousand Wu troops arrived like a tide, and in a blink of an eye they reached the front line of the camp gate.

    The sentries of the Yan army who were guarding the camp gate dispersed in a panic, and fled in all directions in fear. Chen Wu used his power to cut the camp gate in half with a single blow, then rode his horse and wielded his sword, and rushed into the Yan camp first.

    Being able to break through the enemy camp so easily, Chen Wu felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart the moment he rode in.

    But soon, Chen Wu's ecstasy fell, because he found that the entire enemy camp was silent.?There was no panic scene as he imagined.

    It seems that there is nothing but an empty camp in front of us.

    "Could it be that I fell into a trap?" This thought immediately flashed through Chen Wu's mind.

    At this moment, I suddenly heard the shouts of killing from the two wings behind me, like thunder, as if thousands of soldiers and horses were surrounding them from behind.

    Chen Wu's expression suddenly changed. The originally high-spirited Wu soldiers under his command lost half of their energy in an instant, and all of them looked panicked.

    More than two thousand Wu troops were blocked inside and outside the camp gate, and they lost their sense of proportion for a moment.

    Deep in the camp, Yan Liang and his more than 10,000 soldiers were watching the enemy's confused and panicked appearance as if they were watching a monkey show.

    "It's almost time for us to take the stage."

    Amid the sneer, Yan Liang drove his horse and drew his sword, and slowly stepped out of the darkness.

    Behind him, Zhou Cang and more than ten thousand soldiers also walked out of the darkness step by step, revealing their ferocious faces.

    Chen Wu was confused when thousands of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared in the hinterland of the enemy camp. The mighty military force stunned him.

    When Chen Wu saw Yan Liang's mountain-like figure under the huge banner with the character "Yan", he was even more shocked.

    A desperate chill rose from his feet and spread throughout his body in the blink of an eye.

    "Lu Zijing, Lu Zijing, you have hurt my lord, and you have hurt me, Chen Wu -" The frightened Chen Wu cried out in his heart.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
