The golden autumn sun lazily shines on the land of Nanping, the rice fields are yellow and clear, Jingmen is located in the south, not like the north, the leaves have already become yellow. It's almost time for the autumn harvest, and although the farmland is golden, there are many weeds in it, and there are no farmers busy weeding and harvesting.

Chen Yu lay on the edge of the woods with a quiver on his pillow, sometimes bored looking at the blue sky through the gaps in the leaves, and sometimes twisting his head slightly to look at the rice fields opposite the slope. This place is called Bolt Marin, and it may be that some celebrity has bolted horses here before. Here is a sloping dense forest on one side, and on the other side is a large paddy field, whether it is rice or weeds, all of them are withered and yellow, and it seems that no one has come to clean up the crops for a long time.

Chen Yu was ordered to lead 4 squads of soldiers, a total of 200 people, to stand guard here. Don't look at this place, it is the only way from Jiangling to Jingmen.

The prince's order was very simple, that is, to let Chen Yu lead people to guard the official road and block the news of Jiangling. But Chen Zhi is bold and careful, and he doesn't just cut down a few trees and block the official road to finish the matter. What credit can you do to block the official road and catch a few messengers for help, and what kind of ability can it be? How can it show Chen's talent? The king of Nanping will definitely send someone to Jingmen for help, but if the prince enters the army quickly, then there may be some defeated soldiers on this official road, and the credit for catching some defeated soldiers should be greater.

That's what he thought, and he made the blockade bigger.

On the one hand, he ordered the sergeants to hang a series of traps on the official road, and also cut down a lot of trees so that the official road could be completely blocked. After doing these things, Chen Yu ordered several soldiers to stand guard in the distance, a squad of sergeants followed him in front with arrows, ready to shoot people, and ordered a squad of sergeants to stay near the trap to prepare to take people, and ordered another squad of sergeants to stay near the raft, ready to put down trees at any time to intercept the enemy; The last squad rests and serves as a reserve. When he had done this, he reclined down in the woods and rested with his quiver on his pillow.

Just lying bored for half an hour, suddenly he felt a slight vibration sound in the bamboo tube under his head, he immediately got up, listened attentively, a "boom" sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, Chen Yu stood up lazily, looked at the direction of Jiangling, and muttered: "The calculation time should be about the same, the prince should have already attacked the city." ”

Then I saw a sergeant running up to me and saying, "General, a man has come on a fast horse." ”

Chen Yu sneered: "Tell the people in the first team to let them shoot that kid down with arrows, and don't let these two people destroy the mechanism behind us." Well, try to catch it alive. ”

The sergeant folded his hands together, said yes, and turned away. In a short time, there was no sound of neighing horses, and occasionally the exclamation of strangers, who had already succeeded compared to the sergeant in front.

Chen Yu shook his neck, walked forward, and just walked three or four steps, he saw five or six sergeants walking over with a soldier wearing a Nanping military uniform. The soldier had a raised green bag on his forehead, his left shoulder may have been hit by an arrow just now, blood was faintly flowing out, and the clothes in front of him were also broken. Chen Xu's face sank, and he stopped and asked, "Who are you?" What is this going to do? ”

The sergeant next to him twisted the arm of the Nanping prisoner vigorously, and shouted in unison: "The general asked, but he didn't answer truthfully?" ”

With this force, the captive couldn't help but scream, the wound on his shoulder cracked, blood gushed out, and cold sweat ran down his head. The captive gasped for a moment, grinned and said, "General, spare your life." Villain... The villain was sent by the prince of Nanping to Jingmen for help. ”

Chen Yu smiled coldly and continued to ask, "How is the war in Jiangling now?" ”

"General Yu, when the villain came out, I don't know where the army came from, but it has already entered the city, and I heard that it is about to reach the Nanping Palace."

"Oh," Chen Xu's eyes flashed with joy, and he continued to ask, "Who else did the king of Nanping ask for help?" ”

"It's to ask for help from the eldest prince of Xiazhou and the second prince of Jingmen. The prince can't quench his thirst in Guizhou. ”

"Hehe, do you know a lot? What is your role in Nanping Palace? ”

Hearing this, the captive seemed to have a lot of remorse in his eyes, gasped for a while, and said: "The villain is a small brigade commander in the Nanping Wangfu Guards (Nanping inherits the Tang system, one brigade has two squads, a total of 100 people). ”

The palace guards are the guards who personally protect the king of Nanping, and they are closer to the forbidden army. Chen Xu's face did not move, and he continued to ask, "How many people are in this guard?" How many horses are there? ”

The captive was stunned for a moment, then raised his lips and said, "A total of eight hundred people and eight hundred horses." ”

This guard is all cavalry?

Chen Xu's eyes flickered, and he asked again: "When you left Jiangling, what was King Nanping doing?" ”

"This... This, I don't know about the king under the villain's official position. ”

Chen Xu's face sank: "I don't know, or I don't want to say it." As he spoke, he raised his head slightly, and the sergeant standing next to him stepped forward to entertain the captive.

The man was so frightened that he fell to his knees and cried and begged, "The general will spare his life, the general will spare his life." Villain, villain really doesn't know. ”

Chen Yu looked at this person's expression, and thought that he was indeed unaware, so he waved his hand and asked the sergeant to temporarily suppress him. He bowed his head and pondered on the side, according to the information introduced by Li Xiang and Li Sima before the war, although there were 7,000 soldiers in Xiazhou, 2,000 people were stationed in the county below, and there were only 5,000 soldiers and horses in Xiazhou City, and in recent years, Nanping's economy was in dire straits, and 7,000 people have always been in short supply. And Jingmen has 2,000 elites, and if the king of Nanping wants to escape to Jiangling City, then there are ten ** to defect to Jingmen.

Eight hundred cavalry! What should I do?

Chen Yu was contemplating, he felt that the ground was a little shaking, and the sound of horses' hooves immediately sounded in his ears, and he looked at the dusty end of the official road.

Ya, say Cao Cao Cao will arrive.

200 infantry against eight hundred cavalry? Chen Yu smiled slightly, it was not so easy to run!

"Squad 1 listens to the order and raises its longbow to meet the enemy!"
