Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 498

Zhou Yu was naturally suspicious of Pang Yan Xiongbaying's strange behavior.

But Zhou Yu knew that this was not something that a rough temper like Pang Yan could do, so he quickly realized that there might be counselors around Pang Yan who gave advice, and maybe it was the talent Zhu Wei got in Jingzhou.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu couldn't help frowning, because the scouts he sent out were blocked by Zhu Wei's army, and they couldn't get too close to Zhu Wei's stronghold. Now Zhou Yu had no idea what changes and actions Zhu Wei's army had made.

At the same time, Zhou Yu, who was suspicious, still had another guess in his mind, whether all this was another strategy of the counselors in Pang Yan's army, just to trick him into sending troops to rob the camp, so he prepared some means to wait for him in Zhu Weijun's stronghold.

Thinking of it this way, Zhou Yu became even more uncertain, so in Zhou Yu's hesitation, another day passed.

However, in the early morning of this day, the city gate of Youquan County was suddenly opened, and then a large number of Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses quietly left the city, and headed towards the military stronghold where Zhu Wei's army was located.

Taking advantage of the misty sky, Zhou Yu personally commanded the army wearing a battle armor. He couldn't wait any longer, and was going to attack Zhu Weijun's stronghold to break the current deadlock.

For a while, everyone in Zhou Yu's army had their feet wrapped in cloth and their mouths biting wood. Except for some commanding officers above the rank of military marquis, no one was allowed to speak easily, so as not to expose the traces of the army.

However, Zhu Wei's army's military stronghold was built on a wasteland beside a river, and the surrounding trees had already been cut down and became the raw materials for building the military stronghold.

This also broadened the vigilance vision of the soldiers in Zhu Weijun's camp. After all, there is an empty space within a thousand steps around the military camp. As long as there is an enemy attack, they can quickly warn the military camp.

But now the sneak attacking army brought by Zhou Yu can still hide their figures under the cover of the dim light of the morning.

In this way, when Zhou Yu led his troops to a distance of one mile from Zhu Weijun's stronghold, he dispatched more than a thousand elite troops as the vanguard, sneaking there first to clear out the scouts that Zhu Wei's army might have sent around the army stronghold, and at the same time responsible for moving them away. The antlers around the army village act as obstacles to resist horses.

Then Zhou Yu divided the troops brought out this time into several groups and made some arrangements.

In the end, Zhou Yu sent two generals with nearly [-] soldiers to sneak in the direction of Zhu Weijun's stronghold, preparing to rush in after more than a thousand soldiers in front attacked and opened the door of Zhuweijun's stronghold.

In this way, as time passed, more than a thousand elite soldiers sent at the front had approached the Zhuwei army stronghold, and cleared a road in front of the gate of the army stronghold for the follow-up army to pass.

As for the soldiers on duty at Zhu Weijun's stronghold, they didn't seem to notice anything, and they were still standing rigidly on the gatehouse bridge of the stronghold. They seemed to have fallen asleep, almost motionless.

But at the moment, the thousands of soldiers in the front didn't care about anything else, they quickly set up a ladder and climbed into the military camp, then sneaked up to the gate of the military camp, and opened the gate of the military camp with a "squeak".

Just as the gate of Zhu Weijun's stronghold opened, as if something was being pulled, the sound of "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding" alarm bells suddenly sounded in Zhu Weijun's stronghold. Apparently, the sneak attack of Zhou Yu's army had been noticed.

But at this time, since the gate of the military village had been opened, it seemed that there was no way to stop Zhou Yu's army from sneaking in, so Zhou Yu's soldiers who opened the gate quickly called for more than 5000 soldiers to rush to Zhu Weijun's village.

But Zhou Yu's soldiers in front of the military village suddenly noticed something strange, "No, these are straw men! Could it be an empty village? Did they fall into the trap?"

"Be careful of tricks, be careful of tricks!"

It turned out that the so-called police sentries standing on the gate of the military village were all pretending to be straw people, which meant that there must be something strange in this Zhu Weijun village, or there must be some precautions, besides, the sound of the alarm bell just now was also a little weird.

So Zhou Yu's soldiers who found the straw man couldn't help shouting and warning to the army of their own who rushed to kill them, but at this time, the soldiers who rushed into Zhu Weijun's stronghold had no way of turning back.

Besides, nothing has happened yet, so they can't just go back like this.

What's more, the two generals of Zhou Yu who led the army had been ordered by Zhou Yu before they came, so they seemed not afraid of the trap here. One of the generals just shouted, "Kill in! Kill in! Burn this place. Army stronghold!"

"Kill! Kill!"

The more than 5000 Zhou Yu soldiers who rushed over, plus the [-] soldiers in front, also boldly charged into the depths of Zhu Weijun's stronghold.

But before Zhou Yu's soldiers rushed into Zhu Weijun's stronghold and set fire to it, suddenly the front camp area of ​​Zhuwei's stronghold was ablaze, as if they had prepared something to start the fire, and when these Zhou Yu's soldiers arrived, Flames flared up in all directions.

This inevitably made Zhou Yu's soldiers rushing in stunned again. Many people slowed down their rushing pace, and then they saw flames in front and around them, and they did not dare to rush at will.

"The enemy has been tricked, kill them!", "Kill them, kill them!"

At this time, there was also the sound of shouting and killing inside Zhu Weijun's stronghold, and then a feathered arrow shot at Zhou Yu's soldiers whose figures were illuminated by the flames, but Zhou Yu's soldiers who rushed in were frightened one by one. Tremble.

"Withdraw...withdraw..., it's a trick!"

This time, one of the generals that Zhou Yu had originally ordered also shouted in a hurry, and then called for the soldiers who had not actually seen Zhu Wei's ambush to retreat, as if they were going to withdraw from Zhu Wei's army camp in this way.

"Boom boom boom...clang clang clang..."

For a moment, drums and gongs resounded in Zhu Weijun's stronghold, as if Zhu Wei's army really had an ambush and was about to rush to chase Zhou Yu's army who stole the camp.

Then in the chaos, the nearly [-] stealing camp troops sent by Zhou Yu to the front escaped from the Zhuwei army camp in a hurry, and withdrew in the direction where Zhou Yu was ambush at the moment.

This was also Zhou Yu's strategy. He brought so many troops out, but he only allocated a part of them to steal the camp, just for a backup.

If there is an ambush in Zhu Weijun's stronghold, then lead Zhu Wei's army to where his ambush is, then he can use the ambush to fight back and kill Zhu Wei's pursuers, perhaps winning the battle in chaos.

However, the nearly [-] soldiers who escaped from Zhu Weijun's stronghold retreated under the leadership of the two generals for a short time, and soon discovered something strange, and none of Zhu Weijun's soldiers came out after chasing and killing them.

Therefore, the two generals inevitably stopped again and looked at Zhu Weijun's stronghold, where the flames were burning and the gongs and drums were shaking the sky. This thing is really weird.

Could it be that the ambush soldiers in Zhu Weijun were blocked by the flames from their own house, so they couldn't come to chase them down?

But this is unlikely...
