Chapter 132: Chen Gong steals the city
As soon as the city gate opened, the soldiers of Lu Bu who were waiting outside the city to climb the ladder quickly rushed towards the city gate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Lu Bu's soldiers fought repeatedly, and the surviving soldiers all crawled out of the pile of dead, but although Zheng Bao dominated Huainan, in addition to the giant Yuan Shu, there was only Liu Xun in Wancheng in Huainan, and the rest of the forces were not as good as Zheng Bao, Zheng Bao and these two forces were thick and had never fought. The soldiers under his command rarely experienced battle formations, and once they were broken by the surging Lu Bu soldiers outside the city, everyone was frightened and quickly scattered.
Zheng Bao was first defeated by Zhang Liao with a knife, and then ordered to be shot regardless of the enemy and me, and then was entered by Lu Bu's 2,000 troops outside the city, and lost again and again. Zheng Bao saw that the soldiers under his command could not defeat the small Lu Bu army at all in the case of hand-to-hand combat.
The adjutant general persuaded: "The lord is going quickly, Lu Bu's army is strong, and it is not appropriate to meet in short arms." It's better to retreat to Chaohu Lake, Lu Bu has no naval army at the moment, he can't touch the waters of Chaohu Lake, and our army is invincible! ”
Zheng Bao felt very reasonable, and abandoned the troops who were fighting with Lu Bu's soldiers in the city, and took the lead in escaping from the west gate to the nest.
The remaining three gates of Liyang are all in the hands of Zheng Bao's soldiers, Zheng Bao escapes, and the rest of the music escapes from the three gates. The main general is the courage of an army, and the death of a song will have little impact on the battle situation, but if the main general is the first to escape, who will resist the soldiers under his command? The soldiers recruited by Zhang Liao were not as good as the battle-damaged soldiers.
In the middle of the night that day, Xu Shu led the army to resist Liyang, and Zhang Liao once again ordered troops to chase after Juchao.
Zheng Bao didn't expect Zhang Liao's pursuers to come so quickly, and he was preparing to transfer all the population and materials living in the nest to the old nest in Chaohu. Zheng Bao saw that Zhang Liao had few people, so he ordered to defend the nest and transfer the materials before retreating. Zheng Bao and Zhang Liao were at a stalemate in Juchao.
It is said that Chen Gong and Gao Shun deceived 8,000 troops from the hands of the Hefei family, plus the trapping camp and the death legion, the number of people in the hands of the two is close to 9,000, but the real combat effectiveness of this army is only the trapping camp and the death legion, and the army organized by the family is useless except for the wartime rush and scatter.
Under the banner of Yuan Shu's army, the two created a momentum along the road and threatened to support Zheng Bao in his fight against Lu Bu.
Coming to the outside of Chaoxian County, Chen Gong waved his hand: "Send grain and grass into the city." ”
Gao Shun asked uneasily: "Can Gongtai's plan really make a contribution?" Once the defenders in the city find out, then our food and grass will be given away in vain. ”
Chen Gong said: "This way, because our army is too weak, the lord has relied on surprises and dangers everywhere to retreat from the enemy. I am not good at trickery, and there is nothing else I can do now. Once it reaches a stalemate, the situation of our army is dangerous, and we have to do it. ”
On the surface, Lu Bu's army was huge and imposing, but once it fell into a stalemate, it was powerless to follow, and the final outcome was the annihilation of the entire army.
It turned out that Chen Gong sent Yuan Shu to help Zheng Bao's reinforcements under the banner of sending them into the city as bait, hoping to mislead the defenders in the city and make them believe that this soldier was really sent by Yuan Shu, and take the city in one fell swoop when they were unprepared.
"That's all there is to it. No matter how bad the situation is, it will not be worse than the stalemate of our army in Chaohu. Gao Shun sighed, stretched his neck and looked at the city gate in the distance, except for the grain and grass trucks being escorted into the city by the soldiers in the city, the city has not yet sent anyone out to contact.
Gao Shun saw that no one came out to answer, and whispered a few words in Li Damu's ear, Li Damu ran to the city gate with the overlord gun and said loudly: "Is there a general upstairs who can call the shots?" It's getting late, our army wants to spend the night outside the city, and rush to Liyang tomorrow to assist Zheng Taishou to resist Lu Bu, okay? ”
Gao Shun wanted to steal the city of Chaoxian County, of course, he had to do the superficial work in place, they calculated the time to come, and stayed outside the city because it was too late, and the guards in the city would not necessarily be suspicious. Of course, don't think about driving the soldiers into the city, the other party is not a fool, who knows if the "Yuan Shu" soldiers will take the opportunity to make trouble.
The general who defended Chaoxian was called Zhang Duo, and he was one of the many forces dependent on Zheng Bao in the Chaohu area, with five or six thousand subordinates.
Zhang Duo, like Chen Gong, has not yet received the news that Zheng Bao and Zhang Liao are deadlocked in Juchao. Today, Zhang Duo was counting the grain and grass, preparing to transport it to Liyang for Zheng Bao's army to consume, and suddenly saw grain and grass trucks driving into the city from outside the city. After asking, I heard that Yuan Shu sent his subordinate generals to Liyang with 10,000 troops to support Zheng Bao, and now he is camping outside the city for the night.
Zhang Duo saw the grain and grass entering the city, but Yuan Shu's soldiers set up camp outside the city dutifully, and did not ask to enter the city for the night, so he believed that Yuan Shu really wanted to send troops to rescue Zheng Bao. Zhang Duo felt that he should show some basic etiquette to thank Yuan Shu, otherwise he would be laughed at by Yuan Shu, who paid attention to etiquette everywhere.
Bo Dingwen, the lord of Zheng Bao's account, hurriedly stopped: "The lord has handed over the inheritance to us, and we should be cautious to avoid being tricked by villains." ”
Zhang Duo felt that what Ding Wen said was also reasonable, and he couldn't make up his mind and said: "If you turn a blind eye to the Yuan reinforcements outside the city, I am afraid that the hearts of the soldiers who come to help will be chilled." If the lord is ridiculed by Yuan Highway as a reckless man who doesn't understand etiquette, and affects the lord to recruit wise men, it is not something that the two of us can afford. ”
Ding Wen felt that Zhang Duo was reasonable, and the two fought together, Ding Wen decided to go to a dangerous situation for the sake of the great cause of the lord, and first tested whether Yuan Shu's army was really rescued, or had other plans.
Ding Wen told Zhang Duo to guard the city carefully, and he himself brought wine and meat out of the city to reward the army.
came to Gao Shun's camp outside the city, and after the report, Gao Shun and Chen Gong sent people to take Ding Wen into the big tent. Ding Wen watched the soldiers in the camp while walking, only to see the chickens and dogs jumping in the camp, and the tents were even more crooked, and the soldiers did not look like going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but more like going out to play, so Ding Wen shook his head. The soldiers under Yuan Shu's command were really as vulnerable as the rumors.
Gao Shun and Chen Gong stood outside the tent to greet Ding Wen, and when they saw Ding Wen looking around in the camp, the two looked at each other and smiled, and they were half-counted. When Ding Wen saw such an army, he would definitely not send too many troops to deliberately guard against it at night.
"In Xia Dingwen, Ding Zishan has seen two generals. I don't know what the two generals are called? Ding Wen saw that Chen Gong Gaoshun was very faced, and he didn't care, it was normal for him not to know the generals under Yuan Shu's account.
"Gundam Gaujida."
"Chen Tai Chen Wenxiao, I have heard of Huainan Ding Zishan for a long time, and now I see it, and he is a hero among the people." Chen Gong had never heard of Ding Wen's character at all.
"I have admired Chen Wenxiao's name for a long time..."Ding Wen saw Chen Gong praising him, and after gladly accepting it, he did not forget to pay tribute, he had never heard of Chen Tai at all, and he had heard of Chen Gongtai's name a little.
After complimenting each other, Ding Wen took the lead in asking: "My lord did not ask Yuan Gong to send troops to rescue, why did he come now?" ”
When Chen Gong heard this, his face suddenly showed displeasure: "Your Majesty has fought with Lu Bu several times, and knows that Lu Bu is good at fighting, although Your Majesty has an army of 100,000 today, he does not dare to guarantee that he can defeat Lu Bu. If Zheng Taishou is brave and unwilling to form an alliance, he will lead his troops back to Shouchun to restore his life. ”
"Yuan Gong Gaoyi, how can I Chaohu refuse? Now that Lu Bu is in the realm, it is the best policy to work together. To be favored by Duke Yuan, my lord will be very happy if he knows. Ding Wen saw that Chen Gong's face was angry, and he didn't seem to be deceitful.
