Chapter 81: Rumors

Outside the mighty city.

To the north of the city, yellow dust was billowing in mid-air, and it was not difficult to guess that there was a large army advancing. Fengxiang Town is not far from Mighty City.

When entering Chencang Road, Chen Xu took the first army of the left wing of the Hujie army as the front army, and the second army was behind, and now the army was going to attack Guzhen, Chen Xu decided to send the second army as the front army. You can't favor one over the other.

So Chen Xuru said to the generals under his command: "After our army and Fengxiang Town handed over the defense of Weiwu City, the whole army attacked, and followed me to tamp the town, the second army was the front army, and the first army followed. Be careful, do not despise your opponent because of a victory of our army, and use all your strength to fight the lion and the rabbit. Along the way, you must send more scouts to find out the surrounding information, in case the enemy dogs jump off the wall in a hurry and ambush them halfway. In addition, when the road meets Fengzhou, if there is a Shu army out of the city, the second army as the front army will form a formation first, waiting for the first army to come behind. ”

The subordinate generals clenched their fists and responded: "Obey!"

In the first battle of Weiwu City, the loss of soldiers was not large, because Chen Xu opened the gate from the city, the loss of siege soldiers was almost negligible, and the casualties of the soldiers were mainly lost during the battle under the city.

One will be a success!

War is cruel, but it is also a small ant-like people, and individuals cannot choose and decide.

Chen Xu is much stronger than ordinary people, but in the face of the surging world, he is just a bigger ant.

Do your part.

He personally believes that if you want to be a good general, you should first think carefully, and you will not sacrifice the lives of soldiers in vain. This is also an important reason why he tirelessly asked his subordinates not to forget to be vigilant.

The sun is shining, the sky is vast, and the flowers are falling in the air, falling on the side of the Senleng subway soldiers, and falling into the soil.

After delivering the defense with General Fengxiang Zhenbing, he was ready to leave, and of course the whole army of Hujie pulled out the camp and set it up, and then went south.

Along the way, he did not encounter a single soldier or general of the enemy army, Fengzhou City was far taller than Weiwu City, Chen Xu's current strength was insurmountable, and the city gate was closed at this moment, and there was no possible Shu army that Chen Xu had expected before. This has to be said that for the Wei army, this is good news, the Shu army did not dare to go out of the city to compete with the Hujie army approaching Fengzhou, which just shows that Fengzhou's troops are empty, not enough to go out of the city and fight with the enemy, and can only watch the enemy army swagger past the city as if entering no one's land.

You can imagine the grievances in the hearts of the Shu army in Fengzhou.

The Hujie army led by Chen Xu, as the vanguard of Wei's western expedition, arrived in Fengzhou first.

When he arrived in Fengzhou, Chen Xu listened to the advice of his generals, left the first army and the people in charge of logistics, and built a fence outside the city, besieging the Shu army in the city, and it was difficult to fly with wings!

And he led the Second Army non-stop, galloping all the way to fortify the town, so as not to delay the fighters.

On the way to Guzhen, more than 10 cavalry scouts sent by the Hujie army had rushed to the vicinity of Guzhen on the southwest side of Fengzhou to conduct reconnaissance and spy on the enemy.

But he met a team of people, and the two sides were staring at each other, and the two sides belonged to Wei and Shu.

Due to the loss of Weiwu City, Guzhen Town will be worried that the Wei army will attack this place and cut off the road of Shu army's northern aid, and the Guzhen garrison has sent scouts significantly more in recent days. I didn't expect these scouts to come across by chance.

It was clearly not a beautiful encounter.

It didn't take long for the scouts of the Shu army to turn around and leave, running in the direction of Guzhen, wanting to present this information to the town generals stationed in Guzhen as soon as possible.

The Wei scouts saw the enemy scouts fleeing, but they did not make any moves to stop or pursue. The two groups of people are relatively far away, and even if they chase them immediately, they can't catch up.

Drive! Drive! Drive!

A knight looked anxious, this person was one of the people who had encountered the Wei scouts before, and he rode straight to the official office of the Guzhen guard.

"General......" The knight was in the dust, and because he was in too haste, he paused as soon as he said two words

The general of Guzhen looked a little surprised, and asked, "What made you so flustered?"

The scout adjusted his breath a little more, and then said, "The general is not good, we found the scout of Wei near Guzhen."

The town general was shocked and asked incredulously, "Is it true?"

"How dare your subordinates deceive the general?" The scout looked up and replied without hesitation.

"Damn, how did the Wei army come so quickly, it has only been a few days since the fall of Mighty City, and they have come here." The town general scolded a few words, and the speed of the Wei army was really beyond his expectations, which made him a little at a loss at this time.

"General, the Wei army is menacing, we should have made a good plan early!" A military general said that he was a subordinate general under the general of Guzhen Town.

"Fengzhou Jiedu makes Wang Huan really a rice bucket! It's a good mighty city, and even the army of people didn't stop it for a day before it was captured! We are in such a disadvantageous situation! Another general scolded.

"We should now think about how to deal with the Wei army coming from the south, instead of arguing and shouting here all the time, what's the benefit!" Someone said this at the bottom.

"How to deal with it?" The town general sneered, "Just us, how can we fight against the forbidden army of the Central Plains Wei State?" ”

"Gather forces and stick to the city, you can still resist delaying for a while, but the city wall of Guzhen is lower than the wall of Weiwu City, and Weiwu City will be lost in one day, how good can we be!" The town general frowned and did not think of a good countermeasure.

"I heard that the soldiers below are all rumoring that Chen Xu, the commander of the vanguard of the Wei army, has three heads and six arms, is invulnerable, and can jump over three zhang in one leap, brave and unmatched, like a god!" A general said.

"How can there be such a person in the world, the soldiers below have too little knowledge, so they just spread false rumors!" Someone in the crowd retorted, disdainful.

"Then why did you say that the mighty city was captured by the enemy army in one day!" The general who had just spoken spoke again.

"That'...... Hum! The general who had just retorted was choked by this sentence, and no longer spoke, but snorted coldly.

The shadow of the enemy's pressure lingers, the generals are panicked, whispering in the hall, people always feel awe and fear of the unknown and powerful existence, and some things are far-fetched, and the brain is constantly imagining and making up for it, causing the more they think about it, the more afraid they become.

The three of them become tigers, and rumors and rumors, once they are spread by more people, the more believable they become, especially for those who have lost their courage.

"The strength of our army is not enough to resist the Wei army, and the city wall of Guzhen is low, which is not suitable for long-term holding, I ordered, immediately rectify the garrison, leave Guzhen, go to Chengzhou, and preserve strength." The town general gritted his teeth and cut gold and cut off the iron tunnel.
