Chapter 240: The City is Broken

In the evening, Koji received a secret report from a flying arrow in the city, took a closer look, and laughed: "Sure enough, sure enough!" ”

It turned out that after Liu Xuan, Chen Deng and others set a strategy, they wrote down their original text on paper, sent their henchmen to shoot them out of the city, and notified Liyi.

Koji Yi smiled and looked down, and suddenly, his color changed.

"This Liu Miao really has some means!"

On the side, Zhou Tai was also interested when he saw it, and took a look at the secret report, and suddenly looked like a koji yi, and his face was stunned: "He actually wants to burn all 80,000 horses in Xuzhou to death with a fire!?" Ruthless enough, bold! ”

"It's no wonder that he agreed with Chen Deng's strategy of obviously using the Qingzhou Army as a bait and shield, but he had the idea of fighting!"

Koji Yi's tone was a little weird.

It turned out that when Chen Deng put forward the idea that the Qingzhou army should withdraw first, he happened to fall into Liu Xuan's arms.

Liu Miao had expected that Chen Deng would break through and retreat overnight, so he wanted the Qingzhou army to withdraw first, then turn around and quickly block the city gates on all sides, and then launch rockets into the city, igniting all the firewood hidden in the houses in the city, and burning 80,000 horses in Xuzhou with a fire.

But Chen Deng took the initiative to make this request, but he was very happy.

"Nope." Lu Yi frowned and said: "Liu Miao is very happy to burn it, but the consequences are not good, not only will he make the lord frown, but I will also be punished." ”

You must know that Liu Yuan's order is to do less slaughter and make a forced landing as much as possible!

In such a situation where he was already in an absolute advantage, using this desperate plan would inevitably anger Liu Yuan and think that he would not obey the order.

"Not to mention that Chen Deng said a few truths in front of Liu Xuan, but we can be sure that they will definitely retreat tonight, and it is the Qingzhou army that goes first, and the Xuzhou army goes later. In this way, to complete the task of the main bus generation best"

Koji pondered.

"First of all, the fire plan has to be canceled."

"Secondly, when the enemy general is unwilling to surrender and is in a hurry to escape, if he wants to take the most prisoners and kill the few, then the first cannot let the enemy army out of the city, otherwise it will be difficult to get out of the city and flee in all directions."

"Second, to ensure the easiest surrender, the enemy's commander must die! And you have to completely crush the morale of the enemy army in order to achieve the goal! ”

Zhou Tai watched Liyi think for a long time from the side, and did not interject. After all, he is a naval governor, and he is just here to play soy sauce, so there is no need to meddle in the affairs of the army.

Koji Yi thought for a long time and put pen to paper.

"First, the abandonment plan. Second, "

When a man in black appeared on Liu Xuan's side from nothing in an instant, he was really startled.

When a piece of paper was thrown on his desk by the man in black, Liu Miao was stunned, picked up the note, and was about to speak, but saw that the man in black suddenly disappeared again.

"Huh? This is "Liu Xuan took a closer look, and suddenly a cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Luckily! Fortunately, the fire plan has not been carried out yet, otherwise it would have been against his wishes before he saw the face of the Yuyang King, but it was very bad."

Liu Miao continued to look down while muttering to himself, and the smile on his face became more and more prominent.

"Good! That's it! ”

Liu Miao high-fived

During the unitary period, the Youzhou army successively galloped out four soldiers and horses, all the way Pan Feng was the general, to deal with the Cao army; The other three roads were led by Zhang Niujiao, Yu Poison, and Chen Sheng, bypassing the old distance, looking at the east, south, and west gates of Gaotang City to ambush.

At the same time, on the north city wall, that is, the city wall where the Youzhou army was stationed outside the city, the patrol was completely replaced by the Qingzhou army, and Chen Deng was completely unaware of the transfer of troops and horses of the Youzhou army, and was completely kept in the dark.

At that time, Chen Deng had already made most of the preparations, and was about to send someone to inform his generals of the meeting place after the breakout, as well as some details of the breakout retreat. Just wait for the third watch to break through in the middle of the night, and the sky is high and the birds are flying.

At this time, Liu Miao also called his henchmen to the room and gave instructions.

Hai time.

Chen Deng drank with Cao Bao with a relaxed face, looking at that look, he didn't look like a person who was about to flee at all, as if he was drinking celebratory wine.

"Brother Yuanlong, why did you get these two sets of Qingzhou Army uniforms?"

Cao Bao took a sip and looked at the two sets of broken leather armor on the table, very puzzled.

"Hey, this thing is a talisman!" Chen Deng said proudly: "The two of us should be mixed in Liu Xuan's army and take the lead in going out of the city, which is the best policy!" ”

"But you didn't say it to Liu Xuan"

"Hmph, how can you be so hasty when your surname is at stake?" Chen Deng said: "We and Liu Miao are using each other, maybe this person has other plans, in case he has a different heart and temporarily rebels, won't the two of us become turtles in the urn?" ”

"Ahh Reasonable! Cao Bao suddenly: "But, like this, we are waiting for the army"

"Hey, the army is gone, you can recruit again, I'm going to lose my surname, are you willing?"

Cao Bao froze, hehe smiled. Who doesn't spare their lives? They are here to fight the autumn wind, not to fight hard, in this case, it is naturally important to protect themselves, as for the rest, everything can be put aside.

Moreover, these two people have an extraordinary status in Xuzhou, even if they lose the 80,000 army, with the surname of Lao Tao Qian, they will not blame too much, and at most they will be punished. That's why these two people will be so easy.

"After we withdraw from Gaotang and join the remnants, which direction will we go, and how can we return to Xuzhou safely? The Youzhou Army will not let us wait easily! ”

Cao Bao said again.

"Let's go?" Chen Deng's eyes lit up: "It depends on the situation!" You know, in this secret, there is still a Cao army hidden! If my army escapes more, you can also kill a horse gun and pick some cheap, you know, the equipment of the Youzhou army is very extraordinary! ”

Chen Deng coveted the equipment of the Youzhou Army very much, and thought to himself that if he could take some samples and take them back for analysis, wouldn't it be wonderful if he made any gains?

Not only can it make up for the responsibility of the lost army, but there may also be credit to be taken!

As for the envoy sent to Youzhou to buy, after all, it is a matter of the future, whether it can be bought, it is still a question mark, where is the pleasure of this unprofitable deal?

"Siege Machines in Youzhou"

Chen Deng licked his lips and said, "That steel thing looks a little clever, if you can get one back to Xuzhou, hehe"

If that thing is really powerful, then it is developed. Get one back, take it apart and observe it carefully, I don't believe I can't find a manufacturing ingenuity! You must know that most of the wars in the Central Plains are mainly based on attacking and defending cities. If there is a super siege weapon, hehe, Xuzhou will expand its territory in the future, which is many times simpler!

At the end of the day.

Chen Deng and the others drank wine and were packing up, when suddenly, the alarm bell in the city sounded, and the sound of shouting and killing and horses' hooves resounded all over the world!

"What's going on?!"

The two of them were shocked, and they all stood up and looked to the north!

"It's the North Gate!" Cao Bao hurriedly said: "Could it be that the Youzhou army has attacked the city!?" ”

"It must be the Youzhou army attacking the city!" Chen Deng walked back and forth several times and shouted: "Go and see the situation first, and then make a decision!" ”

The two went out, asked their subordinates to bring horses, and were getting on the horses, about to go to the north gate to see, when suddenly a soldier came to report that the north gate had been breached!

"What!?" Chen Deng almost flipped off his horse!

"How is it so fast?!"

Cao Bao lost his voice.

"What should I do?" Cao Bao ran out of ideas, only stared at Chen Deng, and regarded him as his backbone.

"What can I do? Run! ”

Chen Deng pulled out the horse's head and rushed out of the house.

"The Great Army"

Cao Bao led a team of guards to run wildly behind him, shouting.

"The Youzhou army has broken through the city gate, with its combat power, it will be killed in a moment, if you don't leave at this time, you won't be able to leave!"

Chen Deng drank loudly while flicking his horsewhip, crackling loudly.

War horses suffer pain, and they run quickly.

Liu Miao heard the shouting and killing in the room, and immediately looked overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Come on, gather the military horses, and surround Chen Deng's mansion for me!" Ordered the Qingzhou Army, the state pastor has already surrendered to the King of Yuyang, and the Xuzhou Army is our enemy, kill this adult!! ”

When the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army received the order, they were immediately overjoyed, and they immediately turned around one by one, and counterattacked, catching the Xuzhou Army off guard!

However, Liu Xuan's reaction was finally a beat slower, Chen Deng slipped a little, and when he got out of the chaos and rushed to Chen Deng's mansion, he saw that the entire mansion was empty, and there was no trace of people!

"Someone! Come! Order, order the Qingzhou Army to immediately search for Chen Deng and Cao Bao, and catch these two thieves, a reward of 1,000 taels, and the official will be promoted to three levels! ”

Liu Miao quickly reacted and immediately ordered.

At this time, the Youzhou army had already entered the city gate and converged with the Qingzhou army, like a torrent, rapidly spreading from the north city to all directions!

In the entire Gaotang City, the flames were shining, the soldiers scattered and fled, shouting and killing all day long, chaotic and chaotic!

Koji Yi rode a war horse, galloping rapidly, his eyes were shooting around, and his eyes were like lightning. A big gun danced out of the gun curtain heavily, all the way through, the Xuzhou army suffered heavy losses! The heavy cavalry behind him rumbled over, crushing the entire Gaotang City into a wail!

Due to the escape of Chen Deng and Cao Bao, coupled with the counterattack of the Qingzhou army, the entire 80,000 troops of the Xuzhou Army were like a headless snake, and completely collapsed in an instant.

"Chen Deng and Cao Bao are dead, why don't you surrender soon?!"

"Disarm or kill!"

"The Lord is dead, surrender quickly!"

The sound of persuasion was endless, sounding in all directions, as if embattled, in the middle of the night, without the leadership of the main general, the Xuzhou army was at a loss, and soon, a large piece of the blade was dropped, squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, and surrendering countless times!

At this time, Chen Deng and the others led hundreds of guards and had not yet left the city!

"Not good! The east gate is closed, heavily guarded! ”

"The south gate is also closed, and it is heavily guarded!"

At this time, it was a life-and-death emergency, and Chen Deng's face did not show any panic, although the east and south gates had been closed, although the shouting of killing behind him was getting closer and closer, and even Chen Deng had already heard the clanging sound of soldiers surrendering and throwing away their blades, but his face was becoming more and more calm!

Cao Bao's face was in a cold sweat, and his whole face became a little distorted in the firelight, but his eyes were only staring at Chen Deng. Because, he knew that only by following Chen Deng could he escape his life!

"Go to the South Gate!"

Chen Deng shouted, didn't look back, and went straight to the south gate.

Although Cao Bao wanted to open his mouth and say that the south gate was closed, he knew that Chen Deng would not be untargeted, and he must have his reason to go to the south gate!

Hundreds of men and horses rushed through the streets, Chen Deng gathered the fleeing Xuzhou army all the way, killed the Qingzhou soldiers all the way, and finally arrived at the south gate.

At this time, Chen Deng was already following thousands of people!

At the south gate, there were about five or six thousand Qingzhou troops guarding, seeing that three or four thousand Xuzhou was embarrassed, they rushed straight out of here, and the guards did not hesitate to immediately command the army to intercept!

Nearly 10,000 people on both sides slammed into each other, blocking the entire south gate!

The Xuzhou army was fierce and fled for its life.

Qingzhou soldiers are fierce, just for meritorious service!

There are no peerless generals on either side, but the double anti-anti fighters are life and death, the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, and the world is turned upside down!

Chen Deng and Cao Bao were mixed in the chaos, and as the crowd squeezed over, they rushed over, extremely embarrassed.

"Quick, General Cao, get two corpses of Qingzhou soldiers here!"

Chen Deng shouted to Cao Bao while resisting the crowding around him.

How did Cao Bao not know Chen Deng's plans? must want to peel off the Qingzhou military uniform and pretend to be a Qingzhou soldier in order to escape with his surname!

It's a pity that the two sets of clothes that were prepared early didn't have time to change because of the urgency!

In a moment, with the courage of Cao Bao's third-rate generals, he finally completed the task delivered by Chen Deng. Taking advantage of the chaos, the two quietly slipped to the side and quickly changed their clothes!

At this time, there was not much left of the two or three thousand Xuzhou army, and they were all defeated.

Seeing this, the two knew that it was the right time, so they touched into the Qingzhou military formation, waiting for the opportunity, and prepared to escape!
