"Zhou Bo"

"The Last Will Be"

"I will give you 4,000 soldiers, first lurk in the mountains and forests at the northern end of this road, and if there are enemy reinforcements coming, you will go to meet them beforehand, pretend to be defeated and retreat, and lure the enemy into this valley."

"No"

Zhou Bo happily accepted the order.

Deng Yulong instructed again: "When you retreat, you must look realistic, you are forced to flee after you are defeated after 'hard fighting', and the soldiers keep throwing away their armor in the process of 'escaping'." The enemy army was originally going to Yongcheng to join Zhang Han, but if he didn't do it realistically, it was impossible for him to be fooled. ”

Zhou Bo replied: "The last general understands. ”

"Xiahou Baby, Kong Ju"

"The Last Will Be"

"Each of you will lead two thousand soldiers, lurk on the hills on both sides of the valley, prepare more stones and rolling wood, and after most of the enemy's pursuers have passed the valley, you two will attack and block the enemy's retreat."

"No"

Xiahou Ying and Kong gathered together to receive the order.

Deng Yulong said to Chen He: "The remaining two thousand soldiers will be handed over to you, wait 10 miles south of the valley, and after the ambush soldiers in the valley launch an attack, you will lead the army to kill." ”

"No"

Chen He also happily accepted the order.

Deng Yulong said: "In this way, if the enemy army has no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground, it will definitely be completely annihilated, and maybe there will be many enemy troops willing to surrender, you must try your best to fight for it." I'll leave it to you here, I still need to rush back to the camp and arrange important things. ”

He didn't intend to stay here, he had to return to the camp and arrange the right people in front of them, let them cross the mountains west of Chen Cang, and launch a surprise attack behind Chen Cang, this task was very important and arduous, and he had to be told in person, otherwise he could stay here and command.

The four generals acted according to the order, and Deng Yulong took hundreds of cavalry, personal soldiers, and three surrendered troops, and quickly returned to the camp.

——————

To the east of Chencang, the siege battle was still going on, and Zhang Zhi commanded the soldiers to repel the Han army's attacks again and again, making the Han army pay a lot of losses.

"Oooooo......oo

The Han army Mingjin withdrew, and the siege troops quickly withdrew.

On the city wall, Zhang Zhi and Yao Tong laughed happily, and finally let out a bad breath.

Yao Daodao: "The Han army is too arrogant, but Chen Cang can't help it." ”

Zhang Zhidao: "Even if the Han army has some ability, what then? As long as I firmly hold Chen Cang, my uncle's soldiers and horses, as well as the reinforcements of King Zhai and King Sai continue to come, I will definitely be able to control Liu Bang. In case it doesn't work, there is still the overlord here, as long as the overlord's army arrives, Liu Bang and Deng Yulong have only a dead end. ”

In the past three days of fighting, the defenders of Chencang have only lost more than 900 people, and they can estimate that the Han army has lost several thousand people.

——————

In the Han army camp, after Deng Yulong returned to the tent, Liu Bang immediately came to the door.

"Deng Aiqing, the loss of the siege force is not small, if you want to take Chen Cang, it depends on how to surprise attack from behind."

"King Han, the minister already has a perfect plan, and the rest is up to the generals to implement it in place, I believe it can be done."

"As soon as you went out, it was two days, and last night you sent someone to dispatch 10,000 soldiers, and it seems that there is a new battle plan."

Deng Yulong told the plan to fight an ambush, which made Liu Bang very happy.

"The most important thing is to take down Chen Cang; If you can eat the reinforcements from Wangcheng at a small price, it will be the icing on the cake. Deng Aiqing, please! ”

Immediately, Deng Yulong sent someone to summon Fan Mu and Cao Erxi

"The last general has seen the general!"

"The little one has seen the big general!"

Deng Yulong said to Cao Erxi: "You tell General Fan about the situation in the west of Chencang. ”

"No"

Cao Erxi told Fan Mu in detail about the situation in the mountains west of Chencang.

After speaking, Deng Yulong got up from his chair, walked up to Fan Mu, and asked, "You Ba people are fierce and martial, familiar with the mountain environment, and good at jungle warfare. If I send you to lead a team of 7,000 Ba people, you can confidently climb over those seventy or eighty miles of mountains and launch a surprise attack from behind Chen Cang. ”

When recruiting soldiers, Deng Yulong deliberately wanted to recruit a group of Orions from Ba County, in order to carry out special operations that were necessary in the future.

After hearing this, Fan Mu immediately knelt down to Deng Yulong, wanted to show his determination to the main general, and arched his hand: "General, the last general is willing to make a military order, if you can't complete the task, you don't need to kill me, the last general should kill himself and let the soldiers raise their heads to see you." ”

Deng Yulong said earnestly: "I don't want your head, I want Chen Cangcheng, this task is extremely important, I hope to hold a celebration banquet for you in Chen Cangcheng." ”

Fan Mu said: "Thanks to the general's trust, this is the honor of the last general and the seven thousand Ba soldiers, please rest assured that the general will definitely complete the task." ”

The drums of "dong dong dong ......" resounded through the Han military camp, and the general beat the drum to raise the tent.

In the tent, more than 20 generals were lined up on both sides, and standing at the back of the left and right sides were still Han Xin and Fan Mu.

Liu Bang still came to the tent.

Cao Shen was the first to come out and said depressedly: "Report to the general, in the past three days, our Han army has lost a total of 5,528 siege soldiers, but Chen Cangcheng is still as stable as Mount Tai. ”

Deng Yulong asked him to suspend the siege from tomorrow and wait for instructions at any time.

It's not just Cao Shen who is depressed, many generals are depressed about this, if you don't take Chen Cang, it's just empty words to capture Guanzhong.

Two days earlier, the generals had been overjoyed by the victory of the cavalry, but with the unsuccessful return of the siege, the hearts of the officers and men were gradually overshadowed by gloom.

"The frontal assault is only used as an auxiliary means, I believe everyone has seen the mountains west of Chencang, and the mountains are extremely steep. The Yongjun thought that it was impossible for the Han army to climb over the mountains, but our Han army had to do this in order to be taken by surprise. Next, Fan Mu will tell you about the situation. ”

Fan Mu came out of the queue and gave everyone a rough introduction to the situation of the mountains west of Chen Cang, and the generals frowned when they heard it, this is almost impossible, if you are not careful, you will die.

"I plan to send a surprise army to cross the past and lurk in the west of Chencang, when our army will launch an attack at night, first launch an offensive to the east gate of Chencang, attract most of the defenders of Chencang, and the strange soldiers from the west will launch a surprise attack on Chencang, and they will definitely be able to take Chencang in one fell swoop."

Deng Yulong's words made everyone wonder.

Fan Xu asked, "General, can you climb over such a mountain?" ”

Guan Ying said: "The general's method is good, but my Han soldiers must be able to climb over the mountains." ”

Ding Fu said: "If you can't climb the mountains, no matter how good the method is, it's useless." ”

Several generals spoke.

Han Xin didn't say a word, he already knew what to do, but he kept his promise and didn't show it too much.

At this time, I only heard Cao Shen say: "The general's method is indeed clever, first let me lead the troops to attack the city for three days, and they will think that our army has no way to take Chen Cang, and they will be careless." As for the odd soldiers, isn't our army a contingent of thousands of Pakistanis? Send them there, and maybe they'll be able to climb over that mountain. ”

According to Cao Shen's military ability, he can barely be a qualified commander, but he is far from reaching an excellent level, even so, in terms of commanding troops, except for Han Xin, who has not yet been understood by everyone, there is no other Han army general who can compare with him.

Cao Shen's explanation made the generals suddenly relieved.
