0542: Under the city of Linjin
On the wall of Linjin City, Duan Xuan looked at Li Yijun who was camping in the distance with a serious expression, and sighed for a long time, "I have heard for a long time that the troops under Li Wushuang are unparalleled in the world, but when I see it today, it is worthy of its reputation." It's just that one of the generals under his command has such the ability to command the army, and this battle seems to be difficult to fight......"
"The general should not increase the morale of others, the enemy army is only 30,000 people, but there are 50,000 troops in this city, and Li Yi is arrogant and did not send the strong army of the state. The last general is willing to raise troops out of the city, and take the head of Zhao Yun to dedicate to the general! Hearing Duan Xuan's words, Cheng Yi on the side suddenly spoke, with a strong confidence in his tone.
"Chengdu Wei Mo wants to underestimate the enemy, in addition to Zhao Yun's 30,000 people, Zhang Liao, who is in Jawyang, also led an army of 30,000 to attack here, and that Gao Shun is also gathering troops in Anyi, and he may kill here at any time. Maybe Zhao Yun is not famous, but being able to become a pioneer under Li Yi's account is enough to prove something. Not to mention, that Gao Shun is the commander of Li Yi's trapped camp, although the trapped camp did not come this time, but it cannot be underestimated. Hearing this, Duan Xuan explained helplessly.
Speaking of which, if someone else had spoken like this, he would have been taught a hard lesson by Duan Xuan, but unfortunately he couldn't do this for Cheng Yi. Because although Cheng Yi is not very old, he is a deputy general sent by Ma Teng to assist him. Well...... It is said to be assistance, but in fact it is surveillance.
"With the strength of the city, when Zhao Yun is defeated, that Zhang Liao can't catch up at all......" Cheng Yi muttered a little dissatisfied, but he still didn't stick to his thoughts. Because he had been told by Ma Teng before he came, as long as there was nothing suspicious about Duan Xuan, he had to obey Duan Xuan's dispatch.
Cheng Yi's voice was not loud, but it was still heard by Duan Xuan beside him, but he was not dissatisfied or angry, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Because he knew that, at least for now, Ma Teng still trusted himself and did not intend to seize his military power, as long as he did not do anything suspicious.
"But...... If the battle is unfavorable, I don't know if Ma Teng will ......" Duan Xuan thought uncertainly as he looked at the enemy troops outside the city.
He doesn't know much about Ma Teng, after all, as the brother of Duan Cheng, one of the three Ming in Liangzhou, he can be said to be from a famous family, how can he afford to look down on Ma Teng, who was born in a mere rebel? Ha? After General Fubo? How many years ago!
But judging from what Ma Teng has done during this time, Duan Xuan is really quite jealous, because Ma Teng is more unscrupulous than Dong Zhuo. If Dong Zhuo is a powerful minister, then Ma Teng is completely a thief.
And on a high ground outside the city, Zhao Yun was also observing the situation in Linjin City. Beside him were Cheng Lian and Fan Chou.
"Zhao County Order, the city wall of Linjin City is high and thick, and it is built on the road to Chang'an, and the river next to it is a branch of Luoshui, which leads directly to Hu Zhen and Chang'an of Huayin City in the south. As long as our army wants to attack Chang'an, Linjin is a city that must be taken. Therefore, the subordinates thought that if they wanted to capture Linjin City, they had to do it as soon as possible, otherwise it would be even more troublesome to capture the city as soon as the reinforcements from Chang'an arrived. Fan Chou said respectfully, but there was a hint of urgency in his tone.
Speaking of which, although Fan Chou was forced to take refuge in Li Yi, because of the appeasement of Zhao Yun, Lu Bu and Li Yi's letters, Fan Chou has accepted his new identity.
Hearing this, Zhao Yun turned his head to look at Fan Chou and chuckled, "Captain Fan doesn't need to be anxious, sooner or later, one day our army will break through Chang'an and rescue the Shengshang, and at the same time, we will also arrest that Ma Teng!" ”
"Chou is a little anxious...... Fan Chou nodded when he heard this, and his tone was a little ashamed. He was indeed a little anxious, or rather, since he learned the news that Li Yi was going to fight with Ma Teng, he was probably the only one in Li Yi's command who was the most excited. After all, in addition to being forced to take refuge in Li Yi, they also hoped to avenge Dong Zhuo.
Hearing Fan Chou's words, Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He didn't regard Fan Chou as a general, nor did he have any resistance because of his horse thief background. In Zhao Yun's opinion, as long as he serves Li Yi wholeheartedly, he will treat him with sincerity. And since the submission, Fan Chou's performance has actually satisfied Zhao Yun very much, only this time he has to be the enemy of Ma Teng, and Fan Chou's anxiety and excitement made Zhao Yun a little vigilant. After all, this is the most taboo thing to fight a war, eh...... Li Yi has been emphasizing it since he was teaching them in the past.
Subsequently, the three of them continued to observe Linjin City, but this city, which was built in the Spring and Autumn Period and has always been an important town in the Guanzhong Plain, is obviously not so easy to attack. As Fan Chou said, the city wall is high and thick, and because of its proximity to Luoshui, not only can it not be besieged, but the city can also get support from Chang'an and Huayin at any time.
"Trouble...... Zhao Yun thought to himself as he looked at the Luoshui tributary next to Linjin City.
In desperation, Zhao Yun had no choice but to wait for reinforcements under Chen Bingcheng. A few days later, Zhang Liao arrived with his army, but like Zhao Yun, he did not have too many ways to face Linjin City.
"Why don't you try it first?" Zhang Liao suggested.
Looking at his gearing up, Zhao Yun sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't expect Zhang Liao to have such an excited time. "Perhaps, it's because this is the first time that the third brother has led the troops independently, so he is a little excited?" Zhao Yun helped Zhang Liao find a reason.
Although he attacked Xiayang with Zhang Liao before, because Zhao Yun was one year older than Zhang Liao, and he was Tong Yuan's disciple and Zhang Liao's second brother, Zhang Liao had always been Zhao Yun's deputy general.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun nodded, "According to the words of the third brother, I will make a tentative attack early tomorrow morning to see how the garrison in the city is." ”
Temptation is always the foreplay of war, because even if there is an army of 100,000 on the other side, you will not know whether it is 100,000 lions or 100,000 sheep without a trial.
"No!" Hearing this, Zhang Liao, Fan Chou, and Wei Yue responded in unison.
Next.
"Are you going to test our army? Hehe, then just come on, I didn't be able to go head-to-head in the past, but it's not too late now. Duan Xuan looked at the siege equipment launched in the enemy camp outside the city and sneered.
Then he looked at Cheng Yi, who was gearing up on the side, and said with a smile, "Captain Chengdu, how about this one be handed over to you to command?" ”
"Thank you, General!" Cheng Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, and after thanking him, he commanded the troops to prepare for defense in high spirits. Although he was ordered to come to monitor, there was no lack of purpose to take the opportunity to reap some military merits. After all, he's only twenty-four years old this year.
