Chapter 50: Caught in a Puzzle

On the periphery of the water village, the war drums are monstrous.

At this time, Xiahou Nan was dressed in a military uniform, with a sharp sword at his waist, his eyes were indifferent, and he stood in the military formation with high spirits.

"Jingzhou dog, come out and fight to the death with us!"

"Didn't you wait for yesterday to be frightened by our army, and you won't be able to shrink back today, right?"

For a while, the morale of the soldiers outside the water village was high, and they all provoked the village and laughed.

Since yesterday's defeat of the Jingzhou army, Guan Ping has been closed today.

It's a pity that Xiahou Nan didn't have the slightest intention of letting go, chased after him, and directly led the army to kill.

In the village, on the arrow tower, Guan Ping looked at the extremely arrogant Cao soldiers outside, and couldn't help but look gloomy.

"Cao Jun is so deceitful and deceitful, damn it."

At this moment, Guan Ping slapped his palm on the pillar beside him, and his whole body was filled with endless anger.

After a long time, he shouted angrily: "Deng Ai, Ben will order you to lead the army to fight against Cao's army." ”

"Remember, defeat is not allowed to win!"

Hearing the first half of the sentence, the crowd on the side didn't have anything, but in the latter sentence, Guan Ping said it very softly, and his expression was strange.

At this time, the generals were momentarily puzzled, and they couldn't understand it.

"Defeated, unable to win, why is the young general like this?"

"Could it be that yesterday's defeat was deliberately done by the major general?"

However, just when everyone was suspicious, Deng Ai seemed to understand his meaning, so he said excitedly: "No! ”

When the order was passed, Deng Ai waved his sword to lead the crowd, galloped out of the village, and then rushed straight to kill without even organizing the formation.

Seeing this, Xiahou Nan showed a sneering look on his face, sneered again and again, and said secretly: "It seems that the Jingzhou army is really a group of rabble!" ”

"What's the difference between a messy soldier and a bandit?"

After thinking for a moment, Xiahou Nan's face became gloomy for a moment, and he said coldly: "Soldiers, form a formation, attack and kill the Jingzhou army, and be sure to annihilate them all." ”

"Oh, kill!"

"Knock, knock."

When the order was passed, Cao's soldiers formed a formation, shouting and killing to advance step by step, and the morale was also extremely full, and in the next second, the sound of war drums also completely resounded around the coast, and the drums were beating.

At this moment, Sergeant Cao's military spirit reached its peak.

In a matter of moments, the two armies are close to each other!

It's just that the Jingzhou soldiers didn't attack in formation at all, and each soldier had no cooperation, and they were disorganized, but under the attack of Cao's soldiers, they were killed and retreated step by step.

The drums sounded, and the Cao army became more and more powerful, and the Jingzhou soldiers were even more unable to resist!

At this moment, Deng Ai swung his knife and killed two Cao sergeants, looked around, and saw that his own sergeants had been killed and retreated one after another, and couldn't help but open his eyes angrily, shouting: "All... Army, withdraw quickly! ”

When the order was passed, the Jingzhou soldiers fled abruptly towards the village like a deflated ball.

On the arrow tower, seeing that his side was defeated, Guan Ping was suddenly shocked and muttered: "This... Cao Jun's combat power is so terrifying? ”

After a pause, Guan Ping shouted loudly: "Crossbowmen, prepare, cover the evacuation of Deng Ai's troops." ”

After a while, Deng Ai led the crowd to rush into the village, and the soldiers of Cao also chased after him, wanting to take the opportunity to kill the water village and annihilate the Jingzhou soldiers.

"Woohoo!"

Unfortunately, at this time, the crossbowmen all over the arrow towers in the wall were firing one after another, blocking the advance of the enemy army.

Seeing this, Xiahou Nan also ordered the whole army to stop the pursuit, and then shouted: "Great Wei is mighty!" ”

"Ten thousand wins, ten thousand wins."

At this moment, Cao Jun is winning, and the military spirit is even more magnificent.

After showing off his might for a long time, Xiahou Nan led the army back to the city with satisfaction.

Than the county, the head of the city.

Chen Qun looked at the momentum emanating from the military array below, and couldn't help but mutter: "Could it be that you have won again?" ”

"Is the Jingzhou army really such a waste, Guan Ping is not as strong as he imagined?"

At this moment, with the successive victories of his army, the perception of the combat power of the Jingzhou army was also subverted in Chen Qun's heart.

"Is this a trick set up by Guan Ping?"

"But what is his conspiracy to defeat, does he want our army to relax their vigilance and take the opportunity to attack the city?"

"But this is not right, with more than 4,000 people alone, it is unrealistic to want to steal the city, or does Guan Ping have other backs?"

For a while, layers of questions gathered together, Rao is Chen Qun's talent is quick, but he can think for a while, and he has not launched useful information.

In the next two days, Chen Qun originally wanted to wait and see the changes, stick to the city, and observe what the movements of the Jingzhou army were, but Xiahou Nan won one victory after another in the first battle, but he no longer took the enemy army seriously.

In the past two days, Xiahou Nan led the initiative to Linshui Village every day to challenge the Jingzhou army.

It's just that the morale of the Jingzhou army, which had been defeated in a row, was "low", but Guan Ping ignored it and strictly ordered the whole army to close the gate of the village and not come out.

At dusk on this day, seeing that the Jingzhou army still held out, Xiahou Nan was bored, and slowly ordered the whole army to return.

"Frequently holding on for two days, what does Guan Ping want to do?"

At the head of the city, looking at his army returning without a fight again, Chen Qun's eyes were slightly condensed, and he was secretly thinking.

It must be known that now that the Jingzhou army is moving north, the grain and straw it carries will definitely not be enough to support long-term operations.

In other words, the protracted war continues, and the longer the opposition continues, the more beneficial it will be for Cao's army.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Chen Qun strongly opposed the field war and insisted on holding on.

After all, now with the battle between the Jingzhou army and the Cao army, the rebellious thief armies everywhere are also silent and watching.

Chen Qun believes that as long as he drags down the Jingzhou army, then the crisis south of Xudu will be self-defeating!

Therefore, this is also the factor that Chen Qun and Xiahou Nan hold two views and always have different opinions.

"Since Guan Ping can lead the army to the north, he naturally has his advantages, doesn't he know that a protracted war is extremely unfavorable to him?"

"Or is he really just a waste material, just relying on his father's prestige, but Guan Yu's temperament, if his son really can't do it, he will let Guan Ping lead the army north and threaten Xu Du?"

Chen Qun is Chen Qun after all, he weighed it for a long time, and he neither dared to underestimate Guan Yu's ability, nor did he dare to underestimate Guan Ping.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Qun muttered: "I'm afraid Guan Ping does have a conspiracy, but what is he targeting?" ”

Since it has been confirmed that Guan Ping is not a waste material, Chen Qun naturally defined the situation of his army's successive battles as a trick of the Jingzhou army.

Otherwise, how could Xiahou Nan defeat Guan Ping in a row?

Xiahou Nan has the ability to command troops, whether others believe it or not, anyway, Chen Qun is 10,000 people who don't believe it.

"Since Guan Ping can have the record of breaking Xiangyang in ten days, it shows that this person is scheming, and the more abnormal the situation is now, the easier it is to have an accident."

After thinking for a while, Chen Qun groaned secretly.

The so-called ten days to break Xiangyang, what the generals thought of must be how strong Guan Ping's martial arts were.

But if you think about it carefully, you know that with the city defense of Xiangyang, even if it is besieged by tens of thousands of troops, it is impossible to capture it in a short time.

How can we talk about breaking the city in ten days?

From this, Chen Qun concluded that Guan Ping was using a plot to break the city, not to storm it.

It's just that the so-called "authorities are confused, and bystanders are clear." ”

Now that Chen Qun, as an insider, is also deeply involved in the maze and conspiracy, he can't break the situation and know Guan Ping's true intentions.
