Chapter 20: Chen Liu's Change of Hands

The night was dark, and Zang Ba, who was supposed to be sleeping peacefully in the big tent at this time, was really not sleeping. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he was waiting, waiting for the dawn to come. The main task of coming out this time is to lean on each other as horns with Chen Liucheng, preparing to deal with the coming Cao Cao. Gao Ye's men are only 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they have just arrived today, and they will definitely not make any moves. Otherwise, the soldiers were tired, how could he Gao Ye gain a firm foothold under Chen Liucheng before Cao Cao arrived?

However, although his mission was not to attack Gao Ye, it would be a pity if he didn't sneak attack such a rare opportunity tonight. Although he is now quite used under Lu Bu's account, in terms of status, he is still much worse than Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei Xu. The three of them not only began to follow Lu Bu from the state annexation, but also made great achievements for Lu Bu, so they won Lu Bu's trust and relied on him as his arm. If he defeats Gao Ye this time, he will definitely be able to greatly improve his status under Lu Bu's account!

Besides, before he came out, Lu Bu explained that he was looking for a fighter by himself, isn't it a fighter now? However, the fighter at this time is not perfect enough, since listening to Lu Bu talk about the process and reason of how Gao Ye carried out a night attack before dawn, Zang Ba felt that today, as long as he waited until dawn, he would be able to succeed in one fell swoop.

Zang Ba in the dark, lying quietly on the bed with his eyes closed, the night was already deep, and he did not have the slightest sleepiness. In another hour, it will be when he sends his troops to attack at night, that is, when he defeats Gao Ye, how can Zang Ba, who is very excited in his heart, sleep at this time?

I don't know how long it took, Zang Ba, who was lying on the bed, suddenly turned over, not because it was time to send troops, but because he heard the noise in the barracks. The sentry who discovered the high night military horse immediately beat the drum and signaled the whole army to be on alert. How could Zang Ba not hear the rumbling drums? Zang Ba, who turned over, couldn't help but secretly breathe out in his heart, fortunately, he did not relax the garrison work of his own camp, otherwise, he was afraid that he would be taken by the high night at this time. This high night, I didn't even stand on my heels, did you come to attack my camp!

The rumbling drum not only woke up everyone in Zang Ba's camp, but also the soldiers who kept vigil at the head of Chen Liucheng heard it clearly. Especially when he heard the drums coming from the southeast, he hurriedly ran to report to Lu Bu and Chen Gong. Fortunately, although Lu Bu drank alcohol at night, he hadn't drunk too much, and Chen Gong was even more sober, so the two who met in the lobby immediately prepared to send troops to rescue Zang Ba. Lu Bu directly Wei Xu and Zhang Miao stayed behind Chen Liu, so that Hou Cheng and Song Xian were ready to attack immediately.

Zang Ba's small village was not far from Chen Liu, but it was only ten miles away, and Lu Bu immediately mobilized his subordinates and cavalry, and went straight to Xiaozhai. The faster you act, the higher the chance of success and the greater the possibility of defeating Gao Ye. The four words of soldier and speed, Lu Bu has been a general for many years, how can he not understand it?

Ten miles of land for the cavalry, in an instant, only to see the gate of Dazhai, the fire soared into the sky. However, Lu Bu only saw a group of his own soldiers who were fighting the fire, but he did not see the figure of the high night people. However, in the light of the raging fire, Lu Bu still saw the figures flickering in the distance, especially the phoenix wings gilded boring in the high night, which was even more conspicuous. It's just that there aren't many soldiers under Gao Ye, and they are all actively retreating. The most important thing is that the formation at the time of the retreat was not scattered at all.

Lu Bu's eyes narrowed, and then he stopped Hou Cheng and Song Xian, who were about to continue the march, and Zang Ba, who was directing the firefighting, also hurried over, ready to dissuade Lu Bu from pursuit. The army of the high night is coming, and I thought there would be a fierce battle. Since he dared to attack the camp, even if he was discovered, he must have gone out and was determined to win. But after a battle, although Zang Ba also lamented the combat effectiveness of Gao Ye's soldiers, there were too few soldiers, only two or three thousand, and they had been on the defensive, and they had hardly taken the initiative to attack. Such a strange behavior suddenly made Zang Ba feel that there was something wrong with it.

When Gao Ye ordered the retreat, he was powerless to stop him at all, and as soon as he retreated, Lu Bu arrived, which made Zang Ba feel shocked, and he immediately understood what Gao Ye was going to do. This is to lure Lu Bu's men and horses into the ambush circle, and then wipe them out! Let me ask the cavalry under Lu Bu, what do you want to do most when you see the retreating foot soldiers? It's to harvest their lives, it's to earn war merits for yourself!

As soon as these words came out, I heard Lu Bu smile: "Xuan Gao doesn't say anything, I also know the truth of poor Kou Mo chasing." Mingxi has always been scheming, but now that he is a man and a horse, he is defeated and retreated, and the formation is not chaotic, and there is fraud at a glance, how can I fall for his evil! ”

"The lord is wise! Now I see that the main purpose of that high night is mainly to lure the lord and then ambush him. The lord is not fooled, and there is naturally nothing to be done about the high night. However, the lord also said that he used harassment tactics on the grassland, which made the Huns exhausted and had to retreat, and now he is only afraid that he will repeat his old tricks. ”

"Xuangao rest assured, there are no more than 10,000 horses in the night, you just need to guard the village with peace of mind. If he comes again, I will take his camp directly, and then his army will be destroyed, and there is no need to worry. ”

When Zang Ba heard this, he also nodded again and again. Lu Bu was right, if Gao Ye came to harass him in person, it would be difficult for his camp to be preserved under Lu Bu's offensive. If you send someone, you will not be your opponent. If it is poured out, then Lu Bu only needs to burn the camp, and then come to attack with him before and after, if it is a high night defense, he will catch up with the situation, and Lu Bu will destroy this 10,000 horses together. In any case, as long as Gao Ye comes back, he will definitely not be the opponent of himself and Lu Bu, and defeat will become inevitable when the time comes.

In the same way, Lu Bu, who had returned to Chen not long ago, also said this to Rang Chen Gong after receiving another report that war drums sounded outside the city. I have to say that although Chen Gong is very capable, once he encounters a scene that needs to be dealt with on the fly, he can not handle it well. Xun You once commented on Chen Gong, saying that this person has "wisdom and chi", which means that although he is very strategic and sees the problem very thoroughly, he has to think for a long time every time, and a good idea always needs time to brew, if it is a long-term plan, there is naturally no problem. But once you encounter an unexpected situation, what is the difference between a good idea that is long overdue and no idea?

Moreover, what Lu Bu said was not unreasonable, so Chen Gong also nodded yes. Lu Bu ordered him to defend the city with peace of mind, and he immediately led his men and horses to kill directly towards Gao Ye's camp. Since Zang Ba's southeast village returned, Lu Bu ordered his cavalry, one by one, not to unload their armor, not to saddle their horses, and to be ready to set off at any time. Therefore, from the time Lu Bu heard the news to the time he sent troops to attack the camp in Gao Ye, it was only a stick of incense. When it comes to the high night camp, it is only twenty minutes in the time unit of the later generations.

It's just a camp with a big alarm bell, and after Lu Bu entered, he immediately felt that something was wrong. Don't listen to the rumbling drums all the time, but it is unusually quiet in the high night. Not to mention the panicked soldiers, not even the patrolling soldiers. The whole Dazhai is brightly lit, but there is no one. Seeing this situation, how could Lu Bu not know that he had been ambushed by the high night!

By the time he ordered the retreat, the rockets in the sky had already flown in, and for a while, the smoke and flames in the Dazhai blocked the sky, Gao Shun cut off Lu Bu's back road, and Gao Ye was even more head-on towards Lu Bu. How can the cavalry army who was trapped in the camp for a while be the opponent of the foot soldiers, let alone the most elite pro-guard battalion and trapping camp under Gao Ye! By the time Lu Bu broke through to the north, the sky had already cleared, but fortunately, Gao Ye's men and horses did not chase after him. Just a little counting, 5,000 cavalry suffered heavy casualties, this is the most elite Bingzhou cavalry under his command! How can Lu Bu not feel distressed? Fortunately, Hou Cheng and Song Xian were there, which made me feel a little at ease.

Alas, it's still too simple for me to think of attacking Gao Ye's camp, so why can't Gao Ye think of using the camp to set up an ambush? It seems that harassing Zang Ba is fake, but seducing yourself is real. Pity the elite of Bingzhou under his command, and lose more than 1,000 in this way. Now there is no other way but to stay first, and then plan for the future.

It's just that Lu Bu's soldiers didn't travel for a few miles, but they bumped out a group of men and horses, and Lu Bu, who had only 3,000 remnants left, how could he not be frightened? was ready to fight, but when he saw a big banner with the word "Wei", he was even more surprised. Wei Xu should be in Chen Liucheng at this time, how did he come here? However, at this time, the sky was brighter, and Lu Bu took a closer look, it was no one else who was really Wei Xu, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "You are not in Chen Liucheng, how did you get here?" ”

Wei Xu was stunned when he heard this: "Didn't the lord send someone to report, saying that he had been ambushed and asked me to come and answer quickly?" Mr. Gongtai saw the flames rushing to the sky here, and when he heard about it, he was even more anxious, even if he asked me to bring 10,000 horses to meet him, he and Zhang Miao guarded the city. This ......"

Lu Bu's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he pointed at Wei Xu, unable to speak for a while. I had to sigh a long time, and then shouted loudly: "You don't want to think about it, we just came out of the ambush, when we can send the herald back!" This is another trick of the high night, quick, quickly return to the army and stay in Chen, quickly! ”

Wei Xu saw Lu Bu's demeanor like this, and listened to Lu Bu's words again, how could he not know what was going on! Someone pretended to be Lu Bu's messenger, pretended to pass on military orders, and took himself out of the city, at this moment, Chen left no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, Zhang Miao had no ability, and Chen Gong was even more chaotic. If you don't go back soon, I'm afraid that Chen Liu will change hands! Therefore, he hurriedly let the army return to the city. As for Lu Bu, he took the cavalry and rushed back to Chenliu as if flying.

Chen stayed in the city, Lu Bu didn't see the slightest trace of the battle, his heart was a little calm, and then he shouted loudly: "I am Lu Fengxian, don't you open the city gate soon, when will you wait?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the city tower was instantly lined with flags, and there were countless archers standing in rows. A young general was on top of the city tower, standing with his hands behind his back, and laughed loudly: "General Lu, Pan has been ordered to take Chen Liu." If General Lu does not surrender at this time, when will he stay? ”
