I win the lottery in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 328

Chapter 328

Zhuge Liang saw that Tai Shici led the troops swaggeringly southward to pursue Guan Yu, and Zhuge Liang was anxious in his heart.

In the end, no reaction was made. The balance of forces between the two sides was completely unequal, and the consequences of acting recklessly would be disastrous.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang's heart was very bitter, but he couldn't find anyone to express his heartfelt feelings.

There was news from Bashu that Liu Bei sent people to Cui Liangcao again. As a last resort, Zhuge Liang had to ask Jian Yong to escort the grain and grass there.

The lack of major generals has become Zhuge Liang's biggest worry at present!

Compared with Zhuge Liang, Mengchen's side is much better. As Yan Gang and others escorted a new batch of grain and grass to arrive, the Xiliang army has already begun to sharpen their swords.

"My lord, when will we attack Bowang City?" Yan Gang is impatient, Meng Chen transferred him from Youzhou, it is absolutely impossible to just escort the grain and grass.

"Hehe, don't worry, wait for the craftsmen to finish assembling the trebuchet." Meng Chen said leisurely.

After hearing the words, Yan Gang and the others stopped talking. After following Meng Chen for so long, they are naturally aware of Meng Chen's temperament.

Anyway, we have already arrived at the front line, are we still worried that there will be no battle?
At midnight a day later, the originally pitch-black night sky was turned red by the rising fireballs one by one, and immediately after that, there was a burst of noisy sounds in Bowang City.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The Xiliang army has attacked the city!"

Bursts of roars came, waking Zhuge Liang, who had finally fallen asleep, from his sleep!

Putting on his clothes hastily, Zhuge Liang walked out of the mansion under the escort of his personal guards. Looking around, he saw that all parts of Bowang City were full of flames, and the fireballs in the night sky were still falling continuously.

"Report to the military division, the Xiliang army used catapults to launch fireballs, and many people in the city were ignited!" A scout with a black face ran over to report.

"Send down the order to put out the fire quickly, and all the generals will follow a certain person to the north gate."

A moment later, Zhuge Liang, who had climbed to the top of the north gate, looked at the Xiliang army waiting outside the city, and suddenly felt his scalp tingling.

Regardless of the number of people, equipment, and equipment, the Xiliang Army absolutely crushed its own side!

Leaving aside the towers, rushing cars, and ladders, those crossbows are enough to make everyone terrified.

A huge crossbow is being loaded, and the crossbow is raised high, facing the north gate where Zhuge Liang is.

"Military division. Is it okay, military division?" A hurried shout came, Zhuge Liang looked back and found Liao Hua running up to the top of the wall panting.

"Yuan Jian, what happened?" Zhuge Liang asked.

Although Liao Hua was not as good as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in martial arts, he was upright and courageous. Zhuge Liang deliberately asked him to come over from Guan Yu when he lacked generals.

And Liao Hua naturally knew that his status today was all thanks to Zhuge Liang, so he obeyed Zhuge Liang's words!
"Master, the Xiliang Army's catapults have a clear target, and they are aimed at the kerosene collected earlier. If the accuracy is not too poor, I'm afraid..."

As a front-line general, Liao Hua quickly discovered the intention of the Xiliang Army this time, but it was a pity that his reminder was too late.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and a garrison site closest to the north gate was hit by a fireball thrown by the Xiliang army's trebuchet.

After a few short breaths, flames soared into the sky, and a heat wave suddenly hit the top of the north gate, Zhuge Liang's face changed slightly.

In order to "entertain" the Xiliang Army before, Zhuge Liang had prepared a lot of fire oil, but Meng Chen was uneasy to play out the routine, so Zhuge Liang gathered it up again.

But this kind of settlement is very secretive, how did the Xiliang Army know about it?
Zhuge Liang frowned subconsciously, before he could make another move, there was another loud noise!
"boom!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and another garrison site was hit by a fireball from the Xiliang Army.

If the first time was luck, the second time was definitely intentional!
Outside Bowang City, Meng Chen looked at the two flames rising one after the other in the city, and grinned: "This Marquis is the first to act first, and helped Zhuge light up the fire."

Pang Tong grinned when he heard the words. He couldn't do it in a timely manner, so it must be no problem to add fuel to the fire!

"My lord, is it time to change the kerosene jar?" Pang Tongtong reminded with a smirk.

"Okay, it's okay to light the fire, but we wet the bed after playing with the fire too much, so I'm going to sleep!" Meng Chen waved his hand and turned back to the camp.

With such a big commotion tonight, Meng Chen can sleep peacefully, but Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang cannot.

It is inevitable to attack the city overnight. It depends on how Zhuge Liang and his more than ten thousand soldiers can resist the attack of Xiliang's army.

There was nothing to say all night, and when Meng Chen stretched out of the Chinese army's tent early the next morning, the banner of the Xiliang Army had already been planted on the top of Bowang City in front of him.

After breakfast, Meng Chen wandered into Bowang City with his personal guards.

Although after a night of fierce fighting, the entire street has been cleaned up.

"My lord!" Not long after walking forward, he met Pang Tong with a happy face.

"Shi Yuan, did you catch Zhuge Liang? You can't keep your mouth shut!"

"Reporting to my lord, Zhuge Liang fled to the south, but there were less than [-] soldiers and horses around him."

"It's just right, order Yan Gang to lead Baima Yicong to catch up with Benhou!"

"Tong, General Yan has been ordered to pursue!"

Hearing this, Meng Chen nodded, the reason why he spent time in Bowang City was nothing more than to attract Zhuge Liang's attention so that he could sneak attack Wancheng, and at the same time give Cai Mao a chance to do something.

Right now, Wancheng has already been occupied by himself, not to mention Cai Mao's side. Zhuge Liang fled south, and there is probably no other place to go except Xinye.

Next, it depends on whether Tai Shici and Xu Huang can surround Guan Yu!
Since Zhou Cang protected Liu Bei's wife Wu, she went all the way north except Xiangyang.

Worried that Cai Mao would send troops to pursue them, they ran non-stop for three days.

"Report! Report to the general, no pursuers are found in the rear!"

After receiving the report from the scouts, Zhou Cang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After three days, there were still no pursuers behind them, so their group was safe.

"Ma'am, there are no pursuers behind me. There is still a day's journey away from Xinye. I hope Madam will be safe when I arrive in Xinye." Coming to the carriage, Zhou Cang reported in a deep voice.

"Thank you general for escorting you!" A tired voice came from inside the car.

Just at this time, there was a rush of hoofbeats, and Zhou Cang and others suddenly became nervous!
"Fix the formation! Hurry up and close the formation!" Zhou Cang yelled, and hurriedly got on his horse to guard around the carriage.

After dozens of breaths, Zhou Cang burst into tears, and it was none other than Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang who appeared in his eyes!

"Zhou Cang, where is sister-in-law?"

"General Guan, Madam is in the carriage behind you!"

Hearing this, Guan Yu got off his horse and walked towards the carriage in two steps: "Guan Yu came late for the rescue, please don't blame my sister-in-law!"
