Chapter 138: Liao Comes and Comes (3)

Chen Zhi looked around and found that except for him, everyone else seemed to be unmoved. Chen Zhi was suddenly very puzzled, did they all have no objection to Zhang Liao's performance?

Even if he was puzzled in his heart, Chen Zhi asked a little embarrassed: "General, your appearance is very different from what you used to be." ”

"Different? You're welcome. Don't you think Ben is a bit of a scoundrel? Zhang Liao said very directly.

Chen Zhi was so confused by Zhang Liao's response that he didn't know how to speak.

Zhang Liao helped Chen Zhi answer and said, "Don't say it's you, even Ben himself thinks he's a scoundrel." Ben wasn't like this before, you shouldn't know that, right?? ”

Chen Zhi nodded, he really didn't know Zhang Liao's affairs so clearly.

"That was many years ago. Back then, Ben was just as young and frivolous as you, with his own inner pursuits. Zhang Liao seems to be stuck in memory. But Ben will find that sometimes his own set simply doesn't work. It even poses a danger to himself and his subordinates. ”

Chen Zhi listened carefully to Zhang Liao's words, this was Zhang Liao's life experience, and it had a great effect on him.

Zhang Liao said: "Ben will be troubled by this, and sometimes he doubts whether what he insists on in his heart is correct. But then, Ben was woken up by His Majesty. ”

"Your Majesty!!" Chen Zhi didn't expect that Zhang Liao's changes would be related to Liu Yu.

"Well, Ben still remembers what His Majesty said. His Majesty said that people must not turn their horns, and if they fall into such a situation, then there is no way to change it. At that time, Ben never understood. It wasn't until later that Ben General figured it out. If the battlefield battle remains unchanged, it will suffer a big loss. So Ben will keep changing. Today, Ben will be victorious, so what about being a scoundrel? can make the Jiangdong dog thieves retreat, and you subordinates who follow the general can be safe and sound, even if the general is the biggest scoundrel, it is worth it. ”

"The last general has been taught!" Chen Zhi has benefited a lot.

After Zhang Liao and Chen Zhi finished speaking, they looked at Tai Shici, a thought flashed in their hearts, and then they scolded: "The one below is Tai Shici." You, the defeated general, actually dared to come over with soldiers and horses this time, last time in Xiakou, the general beat you, did you forget? ”

Zhang Liao was condescending, and his voice reached the ears of everyone in the Jiangdong Army at once. After a while, everyone's eyes looked at Tai Shi Ci, which made Tai Shi Ci very angry.

But Tai Shici kept telling himself that Zhang Liao was agitating the general, and he must not fall for his strategy.

"Zhang Liao's mad dog barked. I'll ignore it. Tai Shi Ci tried to restrain his anger.

Zhang Liao saw that Tai Shi Ci was unmoved, so he scolded: "Tai Shi Ci, I will be wrong about you." I thought you were a hot-blooded man, but I didn't expect you to be a shrunken turtle. You just stay here, Ben will go back to Lujiang City and wait for you first. ”

Zhang Liao said to Chen Zhi and the others: "Let's withdraw immediately!" ”

Chen Zhi and the others immediately started to act, galloped down the hillside, came to the mountainside, rode their war horses, and quickly followed Zhang Liao away.

Tai Shi Ci kept staring at the hillside, as if he was thinking about something.

Sun Quan was a little impatient, and hurriedly asked Tai Shici: "General Ziyi, you can bear it like this." ”

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. Zhang Liao uses the method of agitation, and we must not be able to fall for it. It is estimated that there will be a lot of ambushes in Zhang Liao in the future, so let's be careful. Tai Shi Ci said cautiously.

Sun Quan recognized this very much, but he found that Zhang Liao only had a few hundred people, and so many people on their side were being played by Zhang Liao like this, so he was really unwilling.

And Lu Meng said: "General Ziyi, judging from the last general, Zhang Liao is a few hundred people, as long as we lure him over, then we can annihilate them all." ”

Sun Quan was very in favor of this method and said: "Ziming is right, it is not a way for us to be entangled by Zhang Liao like this. Otherwise, let's do what Ziming said. ”

Tai Shi Ci shook his head and said, "No, this is Zhang Liao's strategy." Because his purpose is to divide our forces and then break them down one by one. ”

Sun Quan and Lu Meng were helpless, the lord would be Tai Shici, and what the lord said was right.

Tai Shi Ci ordered the whole army to repair and restrain the dead and wounded soldiers and generals.

This time he was ambushed by Zhang Liao, and hundreds of people were killed and injured on his side, and many more died on the spot.

After being attacked three times, Tai Shici actually found that there were 2,000 dead and wounded on his side, which was already one-tenth. The dead soldiers are better to say, just bury them, mark them, and come back to look for them later. But if you are injured, it will be a bit troublesome. The Jiangdong Army had to arrange at least one soldier to take care of these soldiers, so that part of the Jiangdong Army's strength was contained.

If it weren't for the pitiful small number of Jiangdong's current troops, Tai Shici would have wanted to ignore these wounded soldiers. The other layer is that regardless of these wounded soldiers, it will greatly affect morale. Tai Shi Ci still didn't dare to be so ruthless.

"Looks like we're going to have to be a little more cautious next." Tai Shi Ci kept thinking in his heart.

The remaining Jiangdong troops began to continue to march towards the Lujiang River under the leadership of Tai Shici. They didn't seem to expect that it would only take an hour to reach Lujiang, but now they actually spent almost two hours, and they haven't walked a third of the way.

In the next march, Tai Shici was even more careful, worried about being attacked by Zhang Liaolai.

On the other side, Zhang Liao and others came to a bridge by a small river.

Zhang Liao dismounted and took a look at the structure of the bridge, and after looking closely, he smiled.

Chen Zhi knew what strategy Zhang Liao had thought of, so he asked, "General, what are we going to do?" ”

Zhang Liao looked at the sky, estimated the hour, and said, "It's going to be dark soon, let's let the Jiangdong dog thieves suffer a big loss later." This bridge is the closest road to the Lujiang River, so let's design it here. ”

Chen Zhi was excited, if he defeated the Jiangdong army, then his name would be placed in front of Liu Yu with this victory.

Zhang Liao said to Chen Zhi with a solemn face: "Chen Dao, now Ben will give you a task, you lead a part of the soldiers and horses to hide on this side of the bridge, and wait for Ben to give an order, you will set fire to cut off the bridge." ”

"The last general obeys!" Chen Zhi accepted the order without any hesitation.

Zhang Liao nodded, it made a lot of sense for him to arrange it like this.

Zhang Liao assigned a hundred cavalry to Chen Dao, and he returned with the remaining cavalry to entangle with the Jiangdong army.

The Jiangdong Army led by Tai Shici slowly advanced. Whenever he came to a dangerous place, Tai Shi Ci would ask the scouts to investigate first, and only after confirming that there was no problem did he order the troops to advance. In this way, after a few times, the morale of the Jiangdong team plummeted.

Sun Quan saw it in his eyes and was anxious. If it drags on like this, it will be very unfavorable to the attack on Lujiang City. Sun Quan has read the book of war and knows the allusions of a blow, and the morale on his side is so low at the moment, if some accidents occur during the siege of the city, it may lead to irreparable results.

Lu Meng looked at the sky for a moment, then his face changed greatly, and then he said respectfully to Sun Quan: "Lord, the sky is about to slowly darken. ”

"yes, we've wasted a lot of time." Sun Quan did not find out what Lu Meng meant.

Lu Meng hurriedly said: "Lord, as soon as the sky is dark, it is more suitable for Zhang Liao's sneak attack." We could have arrived at Lujiang in an hour, but now it has taken more than two hours. ”

Sun Quan's heart tightened, and then he quickly came to Tai Shici's side, and said loudly: "General Ziyi, we have fallen for Zhang Liao's plan." He's not trying to lure us into dividing our troops, he's stalling for time. ”

"Stall!?" Tai Shi Ci had an epiphany in his heart, how could he have forgotten this before.

According to the spies, there are definitely not as many soldiers and horses in Lujiang as there are on their side. Zhang Liao did so much harassment, it was nothing more than slowing down the speed of his own side, so that Liu Jun's reinforcements could have time to rush to Lujiang. As long as Liu Jun's reinforcements arrive, then even if their 20,000 soldiers and horses are there, there is no way to help Lujiang City.

"I've got it!" Tai Shi Ci said bitterly.

"General Ziyi, now that we know the situation, it's not too late, let's march quickly immediately, before Liu's reinforcements arrive at Lujiang, if we reach Lujiang, we still have a chance to win." Sun Quan hurriedly suggested.

The more Tai Shi Ci thought about it, the more frightened he became, he had wasted a lot of time, if he didn't hurry now, there might really be no way to take Lujiang City.

"The whole army is moving faster!" Tai Shici did not hesitate this time and directly accepted Sun Quan's suggestion.

As soon as the order was given, the entire Jiangdong army began to march rapidly.

Zhang Liao was ambushed in a wood, and he was now arranging flammable objects.

A cavalryman quickly replied: "Back to the general's words, Tai Shi Ci's headquarters is advancing rapidly and is rushing towards our side. ”

"Finally found out that you were wasting time? Just what the doctor ordered. Zhang Liao said to a part of the cavalry: "You stay, and when the Jiangdong dog thieves retreat in a panic, you will light a fire, you know?" ”

"Yes!" This part of the cavalry responded.

Tai Shi Ci led the Jiangdong troops directly through the place where Zhang Liao was hiding, and he did not notice the abnormality at all.

Because he had wasted so much time, Tai Shi Ci had forgotten to let the scouts find out the details.

Zhang Liao, with the cavalry, slowly emerged from the hiding place, and then followed the tail of the Jiangdong team.

Just when Tai Shici was less than a mile away from Zhang Liao's hidden money and grain, Zhang Liao immediately launched an attack.

"Kill!" Zhang Liao led his cavalry straight to the Jiangdong Army.

The troops behind the Jiangdong Army, as soon as they saw Zhang Liao killed, immediately exclaimed: "Zhang Liao is here!" ”

Zhang Liao is here again!

The previous raids had cast a shadow in the hearts of the Jiangdong Army soldiers, and as soon as they heard that Zhang Liao had killed, they began to panic.

Tai Shici couldn't bear it, so he drove the war horse towards Zhang Liao's location and galloped over.

"Zhang Liao, I have seen through your plan." Tai Shici finally saw Zhang Liao's figure.

"Seen through? Blind your dog's eyes! Zhang Liao didn't talk much nonsense, and he also attacked Tai Shici.

The two generals collided in an instant, and the broadsword and spear collided continuously.

"Tai Shici, haven't you eaten? Why is the strength so weak? Zhang Liao constantly attacked Tai Shici with words.

Tai Shi Ci didn't reply, but the faintly increased force in his hand was his response.

Zhang Liao was reluctant to entangle with Tai Shici, so a few simple fights were enough, and he said loudly: "Your subordinates are defeated, don't worry." Ben won't play with you anymore. Leave! ”

Tai Shi Ci wanted to keep Zhang Liao, but Zhang Liao was bent on leaving, and Tai Shi Ci didn't have much to do.

But this time, Zhang Liao's side didn't get out without losses. The Jiangdong soldiers were also angry, and many Jiangdong soldiers even used the method of fighting their lives to pull Liu Jun's cavalry off their horses. Needless to say, what will happen to the cavalry who are pulled off their horses in the end.

And Zhang Liao actually lost more than 100 cavalry this time. Zhang Liao felt distressed when he thought about it. These are all veterans who have been fighting with him for many years.

"Brothers, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you." Zhang Liao swore secretly in his heart.

After leaving more than 100 people, Zhang Liao still successfully left.

For this counterattack, Tai Shici was very satisfied, Zhang Liao just had no choice. After the victory of this counterattack, the morale of the Jiangdong Army has rebounded.

Although he only killed more than 100 people on the other side, it was better than not killing any of them before. And this time he also harvested a hundred high-quality war horses. War horses were a very precious resource in ancient times. Sun Ce didn't have many war horses under his command, let alone high-grade war horses. In this era, the horse-producing land was in the hands of Liu Yu, and the war horses in the whole world were monopolized. This is also the reason why Liu Yu can steadily suppress the other princes. Without a strong cavalry, don't want to have any illusions about the Central Plains.

Therefore, Tai Shi Ci attached great importance to this hundred war horses, and thought that Sun Ce would be extremely happy after knowing about it.

Sun Quan quit, if Zhang Liao ran away this time, Jiangdong would be embarrassed.

So Sun Quan rushed in the direction of Zhang Liao with his own soldiers and some soldiers and horses, and scolded in his mouth: "Zhang Liao is leaving!" ”

"Zhongmou! Poor Kou Mo Chase! Tai Shi Ci found that the situation was wrong, but he was frightened.

It's a pity that no matter how Tai Shici called, Sun Quan didn't seem to hear it, and followed straight behind Zhang Liao.

"Catch up!" Tai Shi Ci didn't care about the joy of getting the war horse, and immediately ordered all the soldiers to follow.

Sun Quan is Sun Ce's younger brother, in case of a mistake, Tai Shici can't get it back even if he exchanges his life.
