Chapter 555: Zhen Rong plays Chen
"Lord Qiqi, I just got the news that Xiling City sent a team of men and horses to the west, it seems that they want to stop General Li Tong from breaking the embankment!"
In the military camp of the Gao family army in the north of Xiling City, Tanma came in the rain and reported the news to Gao Yi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The corners of Gao Yi's mouth rose slightly, and sure enough, the fish was hooked.
"How many men are there, and who is taking them?"
Tanma didn't dare to be careless, and said: "There are about 3,000 people, and they are personally commanded by Zhang Xing, the nephew of Jiangxia thief Zhang Hu, and there is Huang Zu's general Chen in front to lead the way, I'm afraid that there will be half an hour before General Li Tong's men and horses!"
Gao Yi nodded, and then shouted: "Where is Qin Xuan!"
"The last general!" Among the crowd, Qin Fan had already been dressed neatly, just waiting for Gao Yi's order.
Gao Yi thought for a moment, and then said: "Order you to take 2,000 men and horses from your headquarters, ride fast horses on the road to intercept and kill this group of people and horses, if you let Li Tongbu kill and injure one person, you will come to see me!"
Qin Chuan was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but ask Gao Yi rhetorically: "But my lord, there are only 5,000 people here, what if the last general takes away 2,000 people, and Huang Zu takes the opportunity to attack?"
Gao Yi sneered: "Come on, I'm afraid he won't make it!"
Liu Ye urged Qin Fu on the side and said: "General, let's move quickly, I'm afraid something will happen if it's too late!"
"No!" Qin Fan didn't dare to slack off, took the token, and quickly left the tent with two thousand people.
As soon as Qin Fu left, another soldier came to report: "Lord, good news, the two reinforcements of General Chen Zhi and General Yuan Shu have arrived, and now they are stationed outside the west gate and east gate of Xiling City, Huang Zu sent men and horses to fight with them, and they were all killed back to the city by the second way!"
"Okay!" Gao Yi took the case, waited for so many days, Chen Zhi and Yuan Shu finally arrived, he immediately ordered, "Immediately send them an order, after a quarter of an hour, immediately surround and attack from three sides!"
"No!" the herald was ordered, and he pulled away and left.
At this time, Cheng Pu couldn't help but ask Gao Yi: "Lord, why don't you send a group of men and horses to surround the south gate, where there is a waterway, if Huang Zu takes the opportunity to escape, we will fall short!"
Gao Yi sneered and said, "Don't worry, he can't run away!"
Everyone was puzzled, but they didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, Chen Zhi had just led the troops to victory for a while, killed many of Huang Zu's generals, returned to his own formation, and had already seen Zhang Ning staring at himself not far away with an umbrella for a long time, his heart moved, handed over the weapon to his entourage, turned over and got off the horse, came to Zhang Ning's side, and blamed her with some anger: "Such a heavy rain, why did you come out, don't be careful to get wet!"
Zhang Ning smiled, took out the silk handkerchief on his body, carefully wiped the blood on his face for Chen Zhi, shook his head happily and said: "Don't worry, it's not so delicate, isn't it an umbrella to cover the rain? You see, I don't have any wet on my body!"
Chen Zhi also looked at this umbrella curiously, only to see that the workmanship was extremely fine, and it really couldn't come in through the slightest rain, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Strange, whose thing is this, I don't remember that there is such a good umbrella in the army!"
At this time, a burst of giggling laughter came, and Chen went to follow the prestige, but saw Zhen Rong jumping up and down in a hat, and the whole person looked like a straw man: "The surname Chen, I didn't expect this girl to appear, right?
Chen Zhi pointed his finger at Zhen Rong: "Who asked you to come!"
Zhen Rong deliberately stared at a pair of dark eyes and said in surprise: "You asked me to come, didn't you tell this sister?
Chen Zhi coughed heavily, really afraid that he would cough up a mouthful of blood, and he said with a loveless expression: "Do you think we can include you? What can you do here? Dancing or singing? Or a few words that choke people to death and make the enemy surrender?"
Zhen Rong was not convinced, pointed at Zhang Ning and said: "What about Sister Ning? What is she here for? She is also a woman, and I am also a woman, since she has come, why can't I come, you surnamed Chen are unreasonable!"
Zhang Ning couldn't help laughing when she heard it, she beckoned Zhen Rong to come over, and patiently explained: "Sister Rong, don't blame him, he just looks fierce, in fact, he is worried about your safety, this is a battlefield, in case you have three long and two short, he is afraid that it will not be easy to explain to your family, after all, to keep you in Runan, it is already Brother Gao who has spent a lot of effort to go to your house to persuade you!"
"I don't want to listen, don't listen, don't listen, don't listen!" Zhen Rong simply covered his ears, and his mouth was gone, "Sister Ning, you are in the same group as him, naturally you are helping him talk, he took you out to play, but he didn't take me out to play, he is a bad person, Sister Ning, you are also bad!"
Chen Zhi was really speechless, he said to Zhang Ning: "Ning'er, you take her to the rear army quickly, although Huang Zu doesn't dare to come out to fight with us, but it's hard to guarantee that he won't send someone to sneak attack with secret arrows, it's not good if there was an accident, a few soldiers were injured just now, you can also help take care of it!"
Zhang Ning nodded: "Okay, then you should be careful!" Seeing Chen Zhi nodding slightly, she took Zhen Rong's hand and said with a smile: "Let's go, Sister Rong, sister will take you to a place and let you show your skills!"
"Really?" Zhen Rong's eyes widened with excitement when he heard this, and then he made a grimace at Chen Zhi, and then jumped and followed Zhang Ning to the rear, causing the soldiers next to him to boo Chen Zhi.
"What kind of shhhhh
Everyone burst into laughter, and at this moment Gao Yi's order also arrived, after explaining Gao Yi's meaning, Chen Zhi nodded, turned around and ordered the army: "The lord has an order, after a quarter of an hour, order us and General Yuan Shu and the three men and horses of the lord to launch a fierce attack on the three city gates in the northwest and east!"
"No!"
The rain was heavier, but this did not reduce the fighting spirit of Chen Zhi's troops, they pulled the horn in the rain, and urgently advanced the siege equipment from the rear to the west gate, these are Zhang Ning's masterpieces when he was in Runan, although she seems to be weak, but she is ingenious, and has drawn a lot of patterns of siege equipment, the most important thing is that these equipment are greatly improved compared to the previous siege vehicles and other utensils, and it only takes half a day before and after assembly, which is also the reason why Chen Zhi was able to take Anlu City with lightning speed。
Around the siege vehicle, guarding hundreds of heavily armored soldiers, forming an impermeable defensive circle, each of them can block the dense arrow rain attack, this is Chen Zhi's proud work, he has not been idle in Runan for several months, and has sent people to survey a number of iron mines, sent people to mine day and night, and smelted, cast into armor weapons, equipped into their own army, and even the war horses and siege vehicles are wrapped in iron sheets, forming a fierce death squad, although there are only hundreds of people, but the combat effectiveness is not less than thousands, Chen Zhi in order to make his own people different from other troops, so he ordered everyone to wear a white feather behind the armor, known as the white soldier.
Huang Zu also saw this army on the city wall, and his soldiers' bows and arrows shot past, but they couldn't force the other party to retreat at all, but let them escort the siege vehicle to the front of the city gate, hitting the west gate one after another, and the defenders on the city wall felt the ground shake.
"It's not good, if it goes on like this, Ximen won't be able to hold out for a quarter of an hour before it will be captured!" Huang Zu couldn't help but be a little worried as he watched all this.
Su Fei is now the only available general by Huang Zu's side, he volunteered: "Tai Shou, the other party's offensive is too strong, we have to divide our troops to defend against Gao Yi and Yuan Shu at the north gate and the east gate, the last general please open the door to meet this army, I hope to slow down the offensive of the west gate!"
Huang Zu looked at his beloved general in a tangled manner, he knew that Su Fei might not be able to come back if he went, but if he didn't do anything, it was only a matter of time before Xiling was breached!
"Well, General Su take care!"
"Taishou take care, I hope that after the last general leads the troops out, the Taishou will immediately close the city gate, if the last general can be lucky enough to repel the thief soldiers, he can work with Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng's two armies to go around the city to repel Gao Yi and Yuan Shu, if the last general is unfortunately captured, Taishou please retreat from the south gate to Shaxian by boat, Anlu has been occupied by the enemy, we have no way to go to meet Liu Jingzhou!"
When Huang Zu heard this, his heart became even more depressed, he couldn't bear to say goodbye to Su Fei, he just turned around lonely and waved his hand weakly.
The white soldiers were escorting the siege vehicles to continue to storm the gate, but when they were about to break through, the gate was actually opened, and everyone rushed in, ready to clear the way for the main force, but they had already seen a group of men and horses waiting, and the person led by Su Fei was Su Fei, who was armed with a gun and led the troops to shout: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, kill me!"
"Kill!" The soldiers behind Su Fei followed their main general, and the tide strangled the city gate, but the combat effectiveness of the white soldiers was obviously beyond Su Fei's imagination, Su Fei's men and horses not only did not force the white soldiers back, but fought with them into a stalemate, and the two sides started a white-knuckle battle at the city gate, and suddenly screamed, and the blood stained the city wall.
When Chen Zhi learned of this situation, he couldn't help frowning, although he knew that his Bai Wei soldiers had armor to protect their bodies, which could protect the vital points, but a long time of fighting would definitely produce terrible casualties, so he immediately ordered: "Send an order to the Bai Wei soldiers and let them withdraw from the city gate immediately!"
The herald quickly reported Chen Zhi's intention to the white soldiers, and although they were a little reluctant, they still withdrew outside the city gate and waited for them.
However, what was surprising was that Su Fei did not lead his troops to retreat to the city, but instead led his troops to pursue them, and what surprised the Bai Wei soldiers even more was that Su Fei also ordered the city gate to be closed again.
