Chapter 36: The Storm in Xuzhou (11)

The Wei army's camp stood in an open and flat area with a good view; Beside it, a small river was used as a water source, and a trench more than one person deep had been dug around the camp, which was full of sharpened wooden stakes, and an earthen wall and wooden fence had been built on the inside of the trench - where it seemed to be attacking, it was clearly a posture of defending to the end.

Chen Qingzhi led his troops and stopped five miles away from the Wei army's camp. The terrain in this area seems to be gently undulating, although it is not possible to talk about a flat river, but there is really nothing to defend with danger.

However, Xuzhou has not yet recovered from the scourge of the Yuan monks. The grass here is still barren and grassy, and the grass poles that are nearly half a person high are densely spread out on both sides of the road, blowing in the breeze, swaying and swaying, like microwaves, making bursts of rustling sounds.

Chen Qingzhi asked the brothers to disperse and hide in the grass to stand by, and then asked Xu Jin to take himself to the Wei camp to investigate.

Approaching the Wei camp, the two left their horses in a hidden place and trotted in the direction of the Wei camp with their waists bent.

On a small mound, a few trees and grass covered the surface of the dirt. Chen Qingzhi and Xu Jin were prostrate under a tree, and the grass covered their figures.

The two of them raised their heads, and following Xu Jin's fingers, the camp of the Wei army was in full view.

Chen Qingzhi observed for a while, and said softly to Xu Jin, "It seems that the Wei army has learned a lesson from our night attack last time. I'm afraid a sneak attack won't work, and if they just hold back, our forces won't pose a threat to them at all. ”

"What then? Is this the only way to go back? Xu Jin said a little unwillingly.

"I have to find a way to thwart the spirit of the Wei army; And why is the Wei army stagnant here, if you can take a prisoner and ask......"

"Then I'll go and think about catching a Wei soldier." Xu Jin was eager to try.

"Don't worry, catch an ordinary soldier, I'm afraid I won't be able to ask anything. Let's go back first and make arrangements. ”

Returning to everyone's hidden place, Chen Qingzhi called Hui Ze and Song Jingxiu over, and first told him and Xu Jin about the situation of the Wei army they saw.

"It's a bit counterintuitive." Song Jingxiu also felt a little strange, "Since the Wei army wants to capture Xuzhou, but it doesn't defend it, it can't be said......"

"Maybe we were scared last time, so we couldn't shrink back and wait for us to attack?" Hui Ze put forward his own opinion.

"We were lucky to sneak attack last time, and it didn't have that much effect." Chen Qingzhi shook his head slightly, plucked a weed at his feet, wrapped it around his fingers, and muttered thoughtfully, "Maybe they are waiting for foreign aid; It is also possible that they should be ...... within the etc."

"I can guarantee that, at least for now, the reinforcements will definitely not be found," Xu Jin's brows slowly furrowed, "As for Neiying...... Brother Chen, what do you mean? ”

"It's just speculation, there's no evidence." Chen Qingzhi also frowned, "But it doesn't make sense, even if there is an internal response, they don't go to besiege the city, but they are stuck here, is it possible that they still want to take the initiative to surrender?" ”

"It can't be." Song Jingxiu said affirmatively, "Unless the Xuzhou Assassin is an internal response, who has such great ability to raise the city and surrender?" ”

"Don't think about these for now, since the Wei army wants to defend it, let's try their hypocrisy." Chen Qingzhi threw away the straw in his hand and said to everyone simply.

The three of them all hugged their fists at Chen Qingzhi, "Please give the order!" ”

"The weeds here are abundant, but it is good for us to set up ambushes. Xu Jin, you take the brothers of the cavalry to the Wei camp to provoke, and if they send troops out to chase you, lead the pursuers here. ”

"If the Wei army really sent pursuers, they would all be cavalry. Brother Song, Hui Ze, you let the brothers pick some tough straw poles and roll them into straw ropes, and let's make some tripping ropes. ”

"This time, we don't want to have many big results, the most important thing is to try to catch the generals who led the troops to chase after us, and see what the Wei army is up to."

After the arrangement, they went their separate ways. Chen Qingzhi stopped Xu Jin, who was about to get on his horse and leave, and cautiously advised, "The posture of the Wei army will definitely not easily send troops to chase you, you have to think of trying to provoke them as much as possible, if they come out, don't fall in love with the battle, lead them here; But if they don't chase them, you turn back and continue to harass them. ”

"Brother Chen, don't worry, I understand." But Xu Jin was still a little worried, "What if the Wei army is not fooled?" ”

"It's okay, you send the sentry brother to closely monitor the movements of the Wei army, and let's go back to the camp."

"Then we still haven't figured out Wei Jun's intentions, didn't we run for nothing?" Xu Jin said eagerly.

"At least we have a sense of vigilance, and we won't let the Wei army succeed easily." Chen Qingzhi smiled slightly, "Go ahead." ”

In the big tent in the Wei military camp, Wang Yuanyanming of Anfeng and Wang Yuanyu of Linhuai were drinking and chatting. Suddenly, the guards came in and reported, "There is a challenge from the Liang army outside the camp!" ”

"Liang Jun is here? How many people are there? Yuan Yanming dropped the wine cup, stood up, and asked in a bit of a panic.

"I only saw the Liang army scolding outside the camp, about a hundred or so, all of them were cavalry." The guards replied.

"It's just a trick to lure the enemy." Yuan Yu smiled, pulled Yuan Yanming to sit down, "Let's just ignore it, come, drink." ”

But Yuan Yanming was obviously not at ease, he said to Yuan Yu with a serious face, "Now the leader in Xuzhou is a man named Chen Qingzhi, this person has some means, last time King Anle was careless and underestimated the enemy, and was exploited by this Chen Qingzhi and was defeated." We can't afford to repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

"Then according to the meaning of King Anfeng...... Yuan Yu asked.

"It's certain that Liang Jun wants to lure our army out, but I'm afraid they have other ideas, so let's go and take a look."

"Well......" Yuan Yu nodded, "King Anfeng is cautious, then let's go and have a look." ”

The two came to the gate of the camp and climbed the watchtower, only to see that there was a small group of Liang troops outside, who were facing the Wei army, wantonly laughing and insulting.

The lieutenant general of the Wei army was already here, and when he saw the two commanders coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Yuan Yanming asked, "Qiu Daqian, what does Liang Jun want to do?" ”

The lieutenant general called Qiu Daqian has a majestic body, a face full of meat, and a thick beard, looking fierce and a little scary.

Qiu Daqian replied, "Isn't this obvious? I just want to lure our army out! ”

"Hmm, is there anything unusual elsewhere?" Yuan Yanming continued to ask.

"There is nothing unusual in other places, except for these, I don't see any other shadows of Liang Jun."

"The other Liang armies must have set up ambushes somewhere, waiting for us to fall into the trap." Yuan Yu asserted affirmatively.

"Then you're here to stay!" Yuan Yanming ordered Qiu Daqian, "The Liang army is scheming, don't be careless." ”

Yuan Yu added, "If they want to scold, they will wait for them to scold, and when they are tired of scolding, they will naturally go back, and they are absolutely not allowed to attack rashly!" ”

These people were still talking on the watchtower, and Xu Jin below saw that two people in brocade clothes suddenly came, and the Wei soldiers looked submissive in front of these two people, so he guessed in his heart that these two people must be important characters.

And Yuan Yanming's body is fat and more conspicuous. Xu Jin shouted loudly, "Hey! The fat man above, are you leading this group of rats? ”

Yuan Yanming heard Xu Jin's words and scolded angrily, "Where did you come to Huangkou Xiao'er and dare to be so rampant? ”

"Hehe, so you are rats, you only dare to hide on it and take advantage of your tongue, and there is no bloody man in your whole army?"

"We've seen through your intentions!" Yuan Yu said to Xu Jin, "If you want to lure us out, we won't be fooled!" ”

"That's it!" Xu Jin raised his head and said to the two, "Now that you can see it, I don't want to be a bait." ”

Xu Jin drew his bow and opened his bow to shoot his arrows, "I'm going to challenge you now!" If there are still warriors in your army, dare to come out and fight me to the death! ”

As soon as the words fell, the arrow from the string rushed straight towards the watchtower like a meteor, impartially, and hit Yuan Yanming's jade headbandβ€”with a crisp sound, the headband was shattered.

Yuan Yanming's hair was scattered, his face was pale, this time he was really frightened, if the arrow went down a little further, it would hit his eyebrows.

Yuan Yanming's thick lips moved, but he couldn't speak for a long time. Yuan Yu was angry from his heart, leaned out, pointed at Xu Jin, who gave the order, and scolded, "How dare a little thief be so rude!" Okay, if you want to die, don't run, watch me have someone chop you into minced meat! ”

After speaking, Yuan Yu turned around and announced loudly to the soldiers in the camp, "The Liang army challenges alone, and our Wei army can't lose its momentum!" If someone can cut off the person's head, the official will be promoted to one level, and the reward will be 100 yuan! ”

As soon as the words fell, a military general immediately came out, picked up his sword and got on his horse, rushed out of the camp gate, and rushed straight towards Xu Jin.

Xu Jin instructed the brothers behind him, "Don't interfere, just cheer for me!" ”

After speaking, he raised the red refining spear and urged the black thunder to meet it.

Both horses spread their hooves and sprinted with all their might. At the moment when the two horses intersected and passed by, the flying blood and armor fragments suddenly exploded like fireworks, and the huge reaction force made the body of the Wei army general leave the horse's back, and flew out more than ten steps away from the direction of the red refining spear, and finally fell heavily to the ground, and without even struggling, he lost his breath.

Everything happened too fast, just in the light of light! The soldiers watching the battle in the Wei camp were silent, and they had not yet reacted to what was happening.

Although the Liang army on the opposite side was small, after a short silence, it erupted into a tsunami-like cheer......

Xu Jin turned the black thunder back, raised his head again, and looked at Yuan Yu and Yuan Yanming above, "I understand, no wonder you want to be a shrunken turtle, it turns out that you only have such strength." ”

Looking at Xu Jin's mocking expression, Yuan Yu gritted his teeth and gurgled. And Yuan Yanming, who was beside him, had already come to his senses at this time, he brushed his scattered hair, and said to Qiu Daqian through gritted teeth, "Since we have started, we must take down this fanatic today, otherwise the morale of our army will be hit hard!" ”

"This kid is young, but he has the means, and he is an ordinary general, I'm afraid he can't take him." Yuan Yu said gloomily, "We can't lose for a while, let's go straight to the power!" ”

"What does King Linhuai mean......" Qiu Daqian asked with some surprise.

"Let the beasts go! I have to watch this kid be torn to shreds to relieve the hatred in my heart! ”
