Chapter 220 Rogue Tactics

Three updates in the middle of the night, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

Jiang Wan was having a clear dream on the couch. Suddenly, the sound of drums and gongs in his ears dragged him out of his dream in an instant.

Jiang Wanteng sat up, his eyes were not open, his ears were pricked up, and he listened carefully, and the sound of beating drums was more clear.

Is it a night attack of the enemy?

The body shook, and the sleepiness of the whole body dissipated.

Jiang Wan jumped up from the couch and ran through the room without even wearing shoes. He pulled open the door and shouted, "Come on, pass on my life quickly, and the whole army will go to the city to prepare for war."

Not to mention Jiang Wan, even the whole county government, the whole county's soldiers and civilians were awakened by the sudden shouting.

Without Jiang Wan's instructions, the soldiers who slept in armor and clothes were driven by the officer to climb up the city in a daze.

After a while, Jiang Wan, who was undressed, hurried to the city and held his sword to look out of the city.

The night is like ink, and the sight is not clear. It seems that there is a dark shadow shaking outside the city. Although the sound is big, it does not look like a big siege.

What I saw was a little different from what Jiang Wan imagined.

When three thousand nervous soldiers all went to the city, and the men, women and children in the city were frightened in their dreams, the sound of gongs and drums outside the city suddenly stopped.

After a while, even those vague figures disappeared.

The Jingzhou army outside the city seemed to have just come out and hit the soy sauce.

Although Jiang Wan was confused, he did not dare to despise it. He sent scouts to quietly out of the city for reconnaissance. After more than half an hour, he was convinced that there was no trace of the enemy outside the city.

After a nervous session, Jiang Wan had to ask the sergeants to go back to rest and order the soldiers on duty to cheer up, so as not to let the enemy look at the gap.

Three thousand soldiers returned to the camp depressedly. After being nervous, they were so sleepy that they fell asleep.

After Jiang Wan returned to the county government, he took off his armor listlessly. After a moment, he soon fell asleep again.

In his sleep, he dreamed of his home in Jingzhou, his wife, children and mother, as if he saw them calling their hands at him and begging him to go home.

Just as he wanted to reach out and touch them, Liu Feng suddenly appeared. He waved the bloody sword in his hand and cut off the heads of his wife and children without mercy.

"No, don't--"

Suddenly, he woke up from the nightmare and sat up again.

He was short of breath, and the summer wind that entered through the hall blew on his back, and a coolness penetrated through his bones. When he touched his back, he was sticky and soaked out of cold sweat.

It turned out to be just a dream.

"Alas--" He shook his head and sighed softly. In that sigh, there was a faint helplessness.

Looking back on the dream just now, Jiang Wan's heart was lingering, and a strong feeling of homesickness arose spontaneously.

Since he heard the news of the fall of Jingzhou, he tried his best to suppress the missing and worry about his family in a corner of his heart and deliberately did not touch it.

Because Jiang Wan knew that those were all soft threats of his own will, he was afraid that thinking nonsense would shake his loyalty to Liu Gong.

It's just that people are not vegetation, who can be ruthless.

Jiang Wan once worried that he would be against Liu Feng like this. In anger, Liu Feng would be detrimental to his wife and children, or use them as hostages, forcing him to give up resistance.

Until now, this kind of worry has gradually disappeared.

Liu Feng did not use his own family members to threaten him, and there were also no other people's family members to be the open shield for his entry into Sichuan. On the contrary, from the news from Jingzhou, Liu Feng has always been kind to his family members.

This young man, who has always been recognized by them as a "rebellious disciple", has a sense of tolerance at this point.

Deep in his heart, Jiang Wan was a little grateful to Liu Feng.

However, this gratitude, like his longing for his family, was deeply locked in a corner of Jiang Wan's heart.

Unexpectedly, it was just a nightmare that easily opened the door of Jiang Wan's strong will. All kinds of thoughts rolled out like the water of the levee, gnawing like an ant, gnawing at his seemingly firm belief like iron.

"Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan, you must not think nonsense. Uncle Liu is the master. Only by following him can you realize your ambition. You can't have what he wants. You must not..."

Jiang Wan held his breath, deeply admitted, and used this kind of self-suggestion to calm down the turbulent mood.

Gradually, his thoughts returned to calm, and the calmness of floating clouds reappeared between his white face.

Dang Dong Qiang ~ ~ Dong Dong Qiang ~ ~ It's like a lake that has just calmed down, as smooth as a mirror, was suddenly thrown into a ten thousand catties of stone, and the huge waves set off, instantly breaking the illusory calm.

The sound of gongs and drums sounded again.

Jiang Wan was shocked and couldn't think about it. He hurriedly put on armor and dressed, while ordering the soldiers to go to the city to prepare for war.

When he hurried to the top of the city again, he still saw the vague figures in the night, knocking and beating for a long time. When the defenders of Wu County were almost all together, the other party carried the beaten soy sauce and went away.

He was tossed twice in a row. Jiang Wan now can't tell whether he was awake or sleeping. In a trance, he thought he was dreaming, and he also had two identical dreams in a row.

"You son of a bitch, what the hell are you playing?"

"Fry your old mother."

... The soldiers were angry and cursed.

They would rather have a big kill with the enemy. They were played like a clown. They held their anger but did not vent their enemies. They were so depressed that they were going crazy.

"Gong Yan, what kind of trick do you think Liu Feng is playing?" Liao Hua approached and asked depressingly.

Jiang Wan meditated for a long time, thought again and again, and gradually figured out the conspiracy. He snorted coldly, "What kind of trick can it be? It's nothing more than to use this rogue-like tired tactics to hit our morale, consume our energy, and prepare for his future sneak attack."

So that's it.

"Then what should we do? If the enemy comes to toss around like this every few hours, the soldiers will sleep unsteadily, and their spirits will be dragged down sooner or later." Liao Hua is worried.

Jiang Wan thought for a long time and had no way to do it. It's no wonder that in the face of this scoundrel-like attack and disturbing tactics, he was not good at using strange things.

In desperation, Jiang Wan could only admit defeat and thought of a way that was not a way.

That is to divide 3,000 people into two teams. One team sleeps at the head of the city at night, and the other team enters the camp to rest and encounters disturbances. If it is really confirmed that the other party's attack before going to the city, the rest of the time, they will plug their ears and ignore it. The two teams take turns to be on duty day and night.

As Jiang Wan expected, Liu Feng really planned to use this trick to the end. Since that night, he has sent a small group of soldiers and horses to approach the city every night, beating gongs and drums on both sides of the north and west at the same time, and tossing every hour, more than half an hour.

Although the team that is tossed at night can have a good sleep during the day, they have to suffer a lot at night. In this way, the night is turned upside down and the mental torture is full of pain.

More than 20 times in a row, it is like this every night. Looking at the declining morale, Jiang Wan is also useless.

At this time, Jiang Wan hoped that Liu Feng would quickly implement his "inside and outside" policy. At that time, he could hit the rogue's opponent fiercely and boost his tired morale with a victory.

In a blink of an eye, a month has passed.

Liu Zhang from Chengdu sent an urgent letter again, claiming that the war in Lucheng was tight, and Liu Bei seemed to have done his best. If Liu Feng's reinforcements could no longer come, the whole defense line of Lucheng would collapse.

"It seems that Liu Zhang can't stand it anymore, Lord, we have to hurry up." Ma Zhen's expression was cold.

Liu Feng nodded slightly and asked, "How's the tunnel project going?"

Ma Jian took out the engineering drawing he drew and pointed to the north of Wu County and said, "If the orientation estimate is correct, it should be straight to the north gate of Wu County, but after such a distance, there must be a deviation, but this is not important. In my opinion, the degree is enough now."

"What about Wu County? Has the other party noticed it?" Liu Feng asked again.

Ma Yan sneered: "The master's wonderful plan is to beat gongs and drums every day. Unless Jiang Wan has a wolf's ears, how can he notice it?"

When Ma Yan was worried that Jiang Wan would also arrange a monitoring system at the north gate for safe consideration, Liu Feng thought of this strategy. Every night when he was ready to start work, he beat gongs and drums at Wu County. In this way, he successfully covered up the sound caused by digging tunnels.

In the daytime, Liu Feng ordered another team to dig another tunnel from the east. After hearing the movement on the ground, Jiang Wan confirmed his judgment more. He thought he had seen through Liu Feng's tricks, but he didn't know that the enemy's black hand had quietly reached under the north gate for a long time.

It seems that everything is under control. It's time to do it.

Liu Feng stared at the dots and lines on the picture, pondered for a long time, smashed his fist, and resolutely said, "Okay, let's act tomorrow night. You can send a signal to Liao Hua tonight."

That night, according to the prior agreement with Liao Hua, Ma Yan lit three piles of beacons at a high place in the northwest of the city.

Liao Hua had already told the soldiers on duty. As soon as he found the signal of three piles of beacons in the northwest, he would immediately report it to him.

As soon as Liao Hua fell asleep this night, the guard hurriedly came to report. When Liao Hua learned about this, he was not sleepy at all. He hurried to the county government to inform Jiang Wan of the news.

At this time, Jiang Wan had just been disturbed by the gongs and drums of the enemy outside the city, and his mood was just irritable. Liao Hua's news happened to be a cool breeze in the hot summer, which blew Jiang Wan's dry heat clean.

"Liu Feng, I will return the torture I have suffered since this month to you tomorrow!"

That once elegant face also showed a ferocious sneer at this moment.
