Chapter 119: Oops! Heavy (2)
(Double monthly pass today, vote for me if you have a ticket, hehe)
The car felt the earth shake, and the rumbling sound in front of him continued, and he asked his cronies in a daze, "There was an earthquake?" β
The cronies jumped off the war horse, put their ears on the ground, listened for a while, and their faces changed greatly: "It's not good, there is a lurk ahead." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
When the chariot heard this, he shouted heartbreakingly: "Array... Lined up to meet the enemy. β
The army of Che Xuan pursued Tai Shici, stretching for more than ten miles, and wanted to line up a battle formation, not to mention what would happen in a few hours.
"Kill!"
A white-haired veteran rushed down obliquely from the mountain, and two Chen Zi General Flags and Lu Zi General Flags ran out on each wing, bending the bow while running to shoot the Che soldiers who were about to line up: "Han Dang, Chen Wu, and Lu Fan are here, why don't General Che surrender early?" β
"A certain is a big Han chariot general, how can he descend to a small general! Just let the horses come. Seeing that the general trend had gone, Che Xuan calmed down his frightened mood, and was about to face Han Dang with a knife, planning to fight to the death, no matter how unbearable he was, he was also a figure who had been in a high position for a long time, and he had some arrogance.
"General Che can't! The prime minister entrusted the general to defend Guangling, and he couldn't capture Guangling, and secondly, once Sun Cejun broke through Huai'an and took Xuzhou directly, the general would fall into the prime minister's trap. The top priority is that General Che should save his life and retreat to Huai'an before making a decision! The guards of the car grabbed the car and persuaded him.
"I have lost command one after another, and this battle has been lost, so do you have the face to meet the prime minister?" After Che Xuan finished speaking, he was about to take the lead in fighting to the death against Han Dang, who was approaching.
"Protect the general to evacuate, I'll cut off!" The cronies sent people to forcibly escort the chariot to the north to hide and go to Huai'an.
Che Guan's cronies swore to protect the safety of Che Zhou, and commanded some soldiers to resist Han Dang's army to the death. There were a lot of Cao soldiers under the command of Che Zhou, and he couldn't kill the Cao soldiers who were scurrying around for a while, so Han Dang could only watch Che Zhou and his party blend into the defeated Cao soldiers all over the mountains and fields, and hide in the depths of the dense forest.
It took Han Dang and the three of them more than half an hour to kill Che Zhou's cronies and the soldiers under his command, and they didn't have time to search for Che Zhou's whereabouts, so they led the soldiers to slash Cao Bing along the avenue.
Chen Deng felt the rumbling sound in front of him, his heart beat wildly, knowing that the chariot was chasing Tai Shi Ci to death, he was led into an ambush circle, and organized an army to rescue, but Yin Li took most of the soldiers away, and Chen Deng only had more than a thousand guards around him to protect him.
At this moment, at the foot of the mountain, a big flag of Sun and Xu came galloping, Chen Deng's legs were weak, and he was almost frightened and fell off the horse: "Could it be that Sun Ce is in person?" β
The arrogant person has a very strong psychological quality, and he is also very confident in himself, Chen Deng exhaled a few breaths heavily, only to suppress the panic, and thought about it, if it is Sun Ce in person, it should not be the general flag, it should be the tooth flag, that is, the main general of the three armies, but the person who came is the general flag, indicating that the person who came is only a general surnamed Sun.
"Listen to me! Everyone threw down their weapons and shields, and all of them beat flags and drums. Cut off against the order! "It is difficult for a Qiao woman to cook without rice, Chen Deng only has a thousand people, although he did not enter the encirclement, he could not repel the enemy who caught up. Both horizontally and vertically are dead, and Chen Deng decided to take a gamble.
Sun Yi and Xu Yi were ordered to ambush the rear army of Che Xuan. The army of chariots had already penetrated far into the encirclement, but their target had been stopped at the mouth of the ambush circle, and scouts were sent around to check on them, and their whereabouts were soon discovered by the scouts. Sun Yi had no choice, and after killing the scout, he consulted with Xu Yi and led the army out of hiding, intending to annihilate their target head-on.
As soon as the army turned out of the mountain, the target in front of it was dusty, the drums were beating, and the pennants were fluttering, and at least tens of thousands of troops could make such a huge noise.
"How many people have just passed?" Sun Yi asked Xu Yi in disbelief.
"To say the least, there are tens of thousands." Xu Yi said.
"There should be more than 20,000 Cao soldiers in Dongyang City!" Sun Yi remembered that the fire that Chen Deng's reinforcements had started a few days ago illuminated the distance, and then they all crowded into Dongyang City. Not to mention Sun Yi, even Zhou Yu didn't know that the fire that night was Chen Deng's suspicious strategy, and mistakenly thought it was Chen Deng's reinforcements.
The two discussed again. The two of them together have less than 4,000 troops, how can they fight with the tens of thousands of troops who are waiting for them? Both of them felt that they could turn back and attack Che Zhou before the arrival of Che Guan's reinforcements, and defeat the army that had fallen into the encirclement, and Cao's troops were weak at that time, and it was not too late to slowly clean up.
Chen Deng saw that the Sun Zi Banner and the Xu Zi Banner slowly receded, and finally disappeared behind the mountain, so he wiped the cold sweat on his head, and shouted at the clay man who was still running around, covered in dust, and only had a pair of eyes blinking: "Pick up the weapon and go back to Dongyang City." β
Chen Deng was worried that Dongyang City would be lost, so he didn't dare to stay and wait for the soldiers who fled back from the rout, so he hurriedly rushed towards Dongyang City with his soldiers.
As soon as he walked to the south gate, a veteran with an iron spine snake spear stood majestically on the city tower, and saw a group of Cao soldiers who were like refugees, and laughed heartily: "A certain Cheng Pu has taken Dongyang." β
Chen Deng saw that Dongyang City was lost, the retreat was cut off, and there was no way out, so he grabbed the long sword on his waist and was about to kill himself. His own soldiers tried their best to stop him, but he failed to commit suicide.
A guard knelt on the ground and cried: "Chen Taishou, we don't want to die, I still have an old father at home who has no one to take care of." Chen Taishou, please design to save us. β
The other guards knelt on the ground and wailed, which caused Cheng Pu Lao on the city tower to be very happy, which was more comfortable than holding the enemy's head to watch. I don't want to kill Chen Deng too quickly, knock over the cat and play with the mouse, and don't open the city to annihilate Chen Deng as soon as possible.
Seeing that Chen Deng's mood had stabilized, the guards took Chen Deng and more than 1,000 people to hide in the dense forest.
After almost two hours, Chen Deng finally began to accept the reality and consider what to do. Countless pairs of eyes eager to survive around him looked at him beggingly, and Chen Deng gradually regained his former self-confidence.
"Now that the retreat has been cut off, it is difficult for us to return to Ping'an County, and the only chance to survive is to lead Sun Ce's army to Lu Bu in Huailing." As soon as Chen Deng mentioned Lu Bu's name, he gritted his teeth, the revenge of killing his father and destroying the clan was in the past, and now it was Lu Bu who could save his life, and Chen Deng hated Lu Bu more and more.
Chen Deng took people to sabotage Sun Ce everywhere, and once the Jiangdong soldiers pursued, he fled with people in the direction of Huailing in the west.
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce entered the Dongyang City County Ya, and this battle wiped out the Che Xuan army at a very small cost, and Zhou Yu's reputation spread among the Jiangdong army, and everyone knew about it.
Cheng Pu went out of the city to greet him, laughed heartily from afar, and took the lead in saluting Zhou Yu: "Friendship with Zhou Gongjin, if you drink mellow mash, you won't feel drunk." β
"The old general tortures me, how can I dare to accept the old general's gift." Zhou Yu is not a person who holds credit for himself, and said sincerely to Cheng Pu. Cheng Pu's reputation was above him, and he was scolded by Cheng Pu, Zhou Yu felt that he had not learned enough, but he never angered Cheng Pu for his words and deeds.
A few people entered the county office, Chen Deng took care of Dongyang City in an orderly manner, and the official documents on the copywriting were all approved, Zhou Yu turned over a few sleepy bamboo slips, and said in disappointment: "Chen Deng has great talents, but he can't use them for the main public, it's a pity." β
"What talent do you have for a defeated general?" Cheng Pu has always had a hot and cold mocking style. Tell it as a joke when he saw Chen Deng on the city tower trying to draw his sword and kill himself.
When Zhou Yu heard this, his face turned pale, and he cried out in a lost voice: "Oops! accidentally hit Chen Deng hard. β
"Gongjin, what is the explanation of this?" Cheng Pu didn't understand what Zhou Yu wanted to do at all, isn't it just your life and death? Listening to Zhou Yu's meaning, do you still want to be kind to Chen Deng?
Zhou Yu said bitterly: "Old General Cheng doesn't know, Guangling County is not as clear as it seems, it seems that our Jiangdong Army has the upper hand, but in fact, the real strongest in Guangling County is Lu Bu's army." β
Zhou Yu saw that Cheng Pu wanted to refute: "The strong dragon can't suppress the low-headed snake." Moreover, Lu Bu himself has the courage of ten thousand people, and the soldiers under his command have fought several battles of life and death, and they are invincible on the battlefield. It doesn't matter, the most important thing is that Lu Bu himself is now like a homeless mad dog, whoever beats him, he will fight back with no life, he has the determination to die and survive, but I Jiangdong dare not die with him, fight for his life, so I make compromises everywhere.
Besides, Chen Gong and Xu Shuzhi under Lu Bu are not under me, and Lu Bu obeys the two of them. Chen Gong is a delicate person, his decisions are not good, but he is upright. Xu Shu is a strategist who uses strangeness, and the two of them make up for each other, which is difficult to overcome.
I originally planned to let Chen Deng retreat in the face of difficulties, and the fighting spirit shifted westward to Lu Bu. Chen Deng and Lu Bu have an undying enmity, and two mad dogs bite each other in order to contain each other. Today, he accidentally killed Chen Deng and wiped out the whole army, Chen Deng's general trend has gone, and he is no longer able to contain Lu Bu. Zhou Yu regretted it.
"Lu Bu and my Jiangdong have formed an alliance, and they will never turn back to attack our army, right?" Sun Ce asked.
"The world is bustling, and it is all for profit. The world is crowded, all for profit. There are no long-term allies, and there are no long-term enemies. Once Lu Bu defeats Shouchun Yuan Shu, it is unknown whether he will tear up the alliance and counterattack our army. Zhou Yu said.
"So what's next? Do you stay put, or do you take the opportunity to march north? Sun Ce asked with a broken head, and he felt that he was completely uncomfortable with the intrigue.
"I have fallen for Chen Deng's bluff, and the defenders of Ping'an and other cities have not withdrawn to Dongyang, so it is not so easy to attack Ping'an and other counties as imagined. Once our army is trapped in the Ping'an area, Lu Bu will take the opportunity to send troops from Huailing to cut off our grain route, and the good situation in front of us will collapse like a mountain. Pinning our hopes on our so-called allies is itself very risky. Moreover, Lu Bu pinched Huailing in his hands, just to sit and watch my Jiangdong and Cao Cao fight each other in Guangling County, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Lu Bu's idea was that when he pacified Shouchun and our army and Cao's army were both defeated, he would send troops from Huailing to turn back and capture Guangling. However, our army defeated Cao's soldiers in one fell swoop and gained the upper hand, exceeding Lu Bu's expectations. LΓΌ Bu does not want to see our Jiangdong family dominant, once our army falls into the area of Ping'an County, LΓΌ Bu will also send troops to attack our army's grain road in order to balance the situation of our army and Cao's army, to force our army to continue to be on par with Cao's soldiers.
Therefore, the lord must strike first, return to the army to attack Lu Bu in Huailing City, and completely hold Lu Bu in his hands, so that our military has no worries before the Northern Expedition. Zhou Yu concluded.
"How can this be? If I easily tear up the covenant, how will the world perceive me? Sun Ce was worried about the damage to his reputation and was reluctant to take the lead in attacking Sheyang.
"It's easy. I heard that Chen Deng fled westward, and it is very likely that he hid in Lu Bu's Sheyang City. If Lu Bu shields the thief, the lord can raise a large army to search for Sheyang City. β
Cheng Pu and the other generals were dumbfounded, would Lu Bu shield Chen Deng?
