Late at night, the street was so quiet that you couldn't even hear the barking of dogs, but bursts of rapid footsteps broke the silence.
Groups of fully armed troops appeared from the end of the street, and soldiers walked quickly holding weapons. , holding up the banner, the friction of weapons and armor rustled.
"Hurry, follow up."
Xu Rong, who was following Liu Cheng, turned around and waved his hands and greeted loudly.
Liu Cheng, who was riding at the front and holding a broken army boring machine, heard Xu Rong's voice and turned around and shouted: "Xu Rong" When Xu Rong heard this, he immediately ran over and clasped his fists, saying: "General" "Send a few fast horses to check around the Huben Army's camp to see if there is any movement from the Xiliang Army."
"Yes," Xu Rong agreed, and immediately sent a scout team to the Huben Army barracks to investigate, while the soldiers of the Northern Army continued on their way under the leadership of Liu Cheng.
About a quarter of an hour later, the army was only two miles away from the Huben Army camp.
The scout team sent to investigate came back and reported: "General, Colonel, the Xiliang Army is heavily guarded at each camp gate, and the camp is brightly lit. , but can’t hear any movement” Liu Cheng thought for a while and waved to Wang Shuang.
When Wang Shuang came forward, he ordered: "Zhao Rui has been sending people to keep an eye on the Huben Army camp.
There must be our people watching outside the gates of each camp.
Go and see it in person."
As soon as you see the person responsible for monitoring the Xiliang army, ask about the monitoring situation and report it quickly if anything happens."
"I understand my humble position."
Wang Shuang clasped his fists, hit his horse and left quickly.
When Liu Cheng led the soldiers of the Northern Army to the camp gate facing the street of the Huben Army camp, he saw dozens of Xiliang soldiers on duty at the camp gate.
As if facing a powerful enemy, the archers on the sentry tower were ready with their bows drawn.
Liu Cheng reined in his horse and stopped, and the army behind him quickly stopped advancing, and the street became quiet again.
The situation in the Huben Army camp was just as Tan Ma reported.
The outside was heavily guarded, the camp was brightly lit, and no movement could be heard.
"What the hell is Dong Zhuo doing?
Li Ru and other counselors like to play tricks the most.
Does he want me to think that there is no one in the camp?
Or is he trying to make me think that the Xiliang army is there?"
A trap has been laid inside and is ready to scare me away."
Liu Cheng analyzed these two possibilities in his mind and immediately ordered: "Come here, collect the life seeds."
After hearing the order, Zhong Ji ran over and said, "General, what are your orders?"
"Send people to control the intersections of several nearby streets, and report them quickly if the enemy is discovered."
"Yes," Zhongji agreed, and immediately hit the horse and ran to the infantry battalion at the end of the team.
Liu Cheng ordered Wu Fu who had already arrived: "Lieutenant Wu, send a group of infantry to attack the camp gate guards, and use the archers behind to kill the archer guards on the sentry tower."
"Yes, General" After Wu Fu agreed, he immediately ordered a group of soldiers and horses to attack the camp gate.
The sword and shield soldiers rushed to the front with a shield in their left hand and a sword in their right hand, and the spear soldiers followed closely behind.
"Kill!"
The cry of killing broke the silence again.
The soldiers of the Northern Army fought with the Xiliang soldiers guarding the camp gate.
Several rockets were fired at the guard towers on both sides of the camp gate.
The rockets illuminated the sky above, and the Northern Army archers on the ground fired at the targets they found.
The Xiliang soldiers guarding the camp gate were very capable, but they all looked panicked.
The organized defense formation was overwhelmed before even a cup of tea could last.
This made Liu Cheng frown, Could it be "Reporting to General and Colonel, the gate of the camp has been captured by our army."
Wu Fu immediately drew his sword and was about to lead a large group of troops into the camp, but was stopped by Liu Cheng: "Wait a minute, I haven't ordered the invasion of the military camp yet.
Why are you so anxious, Lieutenant Wu?
Send a small group of troops in first to test it out
.
" "
"Understood" Wu Fu put away his sword and sent a group of soldiers into the camp to launch a tentative attack.

The commander of the camp who soon entered the military camp sent a soldier to report: "General Qi, the military camp is brightly lit, but it is empty.
Dong Zhuo and the Xiliang army have all disappeared."
"More than three thousand people ran away and just disappeared.
Where did they go?"
Liu Cheng asked with a frown, but no one could answer his question.
At this time, Wang Shuang ran back on horseback.
He stopped and clasped his fists and said: "General, all the brothers who were monitoring the Xiliang army were killed.
A dying soldier said before he died that the Xiliang army had left the country half an hour ago.
The side door on the right is towards the West Garden.”
"Report" followed by a long shout, a knight came flying over, stopped in front of Liu Cheng and clasped his fists to report: "General, there is a man on the street not far away who claims to be an old acquaintance of the general, saying that he has urgent matters to report to the general in person, and Taking this as evidence, Master Zhong does not dare to be a master, so he specially ordered the villain to come and report whether he should be allowed to come to see the general."
Liu Cheng saw a token in the hand of the soldier who reported the news.
He took it and looked at it.
He recognized that it was his token for Wang Yue and immediately ordered: "Bring that man over quickly."
"yes" The masked Wang Yue quickly followed the soldiers who reported the news, clasped his fists and said, "I've seen the general."
Liu Cheng jumped off the red rabbit horse, pulled Wang Yue aside and asked, "What do you want to report personally?"
"The matter is so important that I have to come and report it in person.
Time is tight, and I have to rush back to continue collecting information, so I will make a long story short.
According to reports from some spies from the Shadow Guard branch in Luoyang City, tonight Zhang Wen and Zhu The two generals Jun were on their way to Xiyuan and the city guards to take office.
They were stopped by the people who were in charge of Jinwu Hu Wuban.
Both of them failed to go to their posts as they wished, and they were both injured.
In addition, according to reliable information, Dong Zhuo had completely controlled and incorporated the Xiyuan Army.
Now the Xiyuan Army was under Dong Zhuo's order.
Drive down to the west area of the city and set up defenses at various street intersections, houses and buildings."
"The Xiyuan Army was conquered so quickly."
Liu Cheng was shocked.
This news was so surprising that Liu Cheng couldn't believe it and asked: "How could Dong Zhuo conquer the Xiyuan Army so quickly?
Even if Wang Kuang avenged He Jin by killing He Miao, Yuan Shao was also held hostage by Dong Zhuo because of Yuan Shu.
And had to cooperate, but Zhao Rong, Xia Mou and Feng Fang and other three schools' soldiers and horses were all from He Miao.
Without their cooperation, Dong Zhuo would not have been able to make these three schools' soldiers and horses behave so quickly.
Be obedient."
Wang Yue clasped his fists and said, "The general is right.
I have just received the news that the families of these three people have been secretly controlled by Dong Zhuo.
The three of them were invited to a banquet by Li Xi tonight.
They were invited by Wang Kuang and Zhang Xiu were caught in the act.
They were attacked with swords and axes and their families were held hostage.
All three of them chose to surrender."
"Huh!"
Liu Cheng exhaled a turbid breath in his chest, "Dong Zhuo is indeed not a vegetarian Wang Yue.
You go first.
If there is any other news, send someone to report immediately."
After that, he returned the token to him.
Wang Yue put away his token and clasped his fists, turned around and quickly jumped onto a big tree, then jumped onto a roof, and disappeared without a trace after a few jumps.
Reaching out to summon Wu Fu, Xu Rong and Zhong Ji, Liu Cheng said to the three of them: "I just received the news that the Xiyuan Army has been incorporated by Dong Zhuo and has now been transferred to Xicheng District under Dong Zhuo's order.
They are at various intersections in Xicheng District , streets, houses and other He is building fortifications, obviously intending to occupy the Xicheng District and confront us, and there is reliable information that Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min is leading 20,000 Xiliang troops to Luoyang, and will arrive outside the West City Wall by tomorrow morning at the latest.
"At that time" After hearing this, the expressions of the three of them changed.

Xu Rong clasped his fists and said, "General, the city guard barracks are beside the west city wall.
Now that Dong Zhuo has led the Xiyuan Army and Xiliang Army to withdraw to Xicheng District, has the city guard already surrendered?"
If Dong Zhuo does this, although their combat power is not as good as our Northern Army, their number is more than 10,000 more, and they are constructing defense fortifications.
It may not be easy for us to defeat Dong Zhuo in a short period of time because of our eagerness."
Wu Fu said angrily: "I have long seen that Dong Zhuo has evil intentions.
As expected, if he didn't have a disobedient heart, how could he forcibly seize the military power of the Xiyuan Army and our Northern Army?"
Zhong Ji cupped his fists and asked, "I wonder what the general is planning":
