Chapter 109: Treacherous Liu Chen
In order to prevent being discovered, Liu Chen deliberately let the army hide in the deep mountains, so although it was very close to Xiangyang City, it was also nearly five miles away. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Liu Chen's fifteen-thousand-strong army ran towards the west gate, neither shouting to kill, nor blowing trumpets and drums, but no one noticed.
When the army approached the tall city wall of Xiangyang, only a few hundred people were on the city to defend it, the city gates were closed, and the defenders were scattered.
But it seems that in order to prevent a sneak attack, Su Yu pulled up the drawbridge high, and the antlers and horse pits were dense, which was a little troublesome.
Fortunately, Liu Chen was prepared, and the 10,000 soldiers behind him were all hand-armed with a bundle of firewood and grass, and as soon as they spread it on the ground, the road became safe.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, stop them!"
The defenders of the city saw that the dense Han army was approaching, and immediately roared bitterly, and then the horns continued to sound, and the scattered Jin army also began to gather above the city gate.
During this time, Liu Chen had already cleared the traps on the ground, and when he saw the movement in the city, he said with a smile:
"I only found out now, it's too late!"
Then he hurriedly ordered 3,000 archers to shoot arrows on this side of the moat, and at the same time, the wooden ladders were leveled on the wide moat, and the sword and shield soldiers swarmed past.
Whoosh ......
"General, no, the bow and arrows below are too powerful to rise at all!"
A centurion said this, and the general in charge of the city guard trembled when he heard this, and hurriedly said:
"Ben will be here on top, you go to report to Taishou, quickly!"
The centurion who looked at the cat's body and went down the city tower, a trace of envy flashed in the general's eyes, and then he was resolutely replaced, only to see him suddenly get up, raise his knife and shout:
"Wen to death, martial arts to the death, kill!"
As soon as he turned around, he was plunged into his right chest by an arrow, and he almost fell, and hurriedly held on to the battlements to survive.
Liu Chen kept looking at the city, and he also appreciated this person a little at this time, but he quickly shook his head to restrain his mind, and hurriedly said:
"The enemy general is dead, storm the city!"
Suddenly, Zhuge Jing and Huang Chong, who had already prepared, began to climb the ladder, although from time to time there were Jin soldiers throwing thunder stones and rolling logs from the city, but when the people who came up were shot, the Jin soldiers began to flee.
Zhuge Jing held a shield in his left hand and an escalator in his right hand, and climbed up to the city tower in a few breaths, while hundreds of people approached quickly on other wooden ladders.
"Kill!"
There are still many Jin soldiers who are unwilling to stand still, and with a spear, they shout and stab at Zhuge Jing.
Zhuge Jing jumped directly off the battlements, swept the shield as a weapon, and the two spears were swept away, his eyes lit up, and he got up.
With his left hand, he pushed his shield forward, and as his opponent fell to the ground, his right hand suddenly grabbed the spear.
As soon as his hand turned, the spear broke away from the hands of the Jin soldiers, and Zhuge Jing swept back the spear, blocking the two Jin soldiers who were about to sneak attack from behind.
Within a few breaths, Zhuge Jing stood on the city tower, and Yu Guang saw that the Han army that had just come up behind was picked up by the Jin soldiers, and he was immediately furious, and the spear stabbed left and right, killing and wounding two of the Jin soldiers who were approaching, and the rest of the Jin soldiers retreated in fear.
Huang De went up to the city tower, and also gave full play to his advantage of being large and small, and won the Jin soldiers who were forced back by the big sword.
After that, Zhuge Jing Huangde was like two reefs in the sea, dead in one place, waiting for more and more colleagues behind him to join in and break through the defense.
"Kill, kill Lao Tzu, either you die or I die!"
The general was stimulated, and he actually raised his knife and gritted his teeth to support the wall and approached Zhuge Jing, ready to make a desperate blow.
Blood, soaked the armor, showing a blood-red color on the chest.
While!
When Zhuge Jing shouted at the partial general, he left a mind, and when he raised the knife, Zhuge Jing suddenly turned around, and the knife was knocked away and fell down the city tower.
At this time, more than 200 people had already climbed the city tower and began to organize its formation, gradually expanding the range, and there were more and more Han soldiers behind.
Liu Chen also wanted to go into battle to fight, but he also knew that he couldn't let others be distracted, and at this time, he finally saw Zhuge Jing and the others stabilize their formation, and he was immediately overjoyed, and shouted:
"The victory is decided, rush!"
Immediately led thousands of Chinese troops to advance, and when approaching the moat, Zhuge Jing had already occupied most of the city towers, and the drawbridge was also lowered.
Huang De knew that Liu Chen was still outside, and hurriedly led dozens of people towards the city gate to kill, at this time, the Jin soldiers saw that the general trend had gone, and there was no resistance, Huang De easily opened the city gate.
"The army is in the city!"
Liu Chen waved his hand to let the army enter the city, and hurriedly found Zhuge Jing and Huang De, who were covered in blood, and ordered:
"Zhuge Jing, you lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to take the north gate, Ning leads 4,000 soldiers and horses with you to attack the south gate, Huang Deru leads 1,000 soldiers and horses to defend the west gate, if the city gate is lost, this king will ask you!"
Then, the army was divided into four routes, and Liu Chen led more than 5,000 troops to kill directly to the east gate, where Su Yu's army was defending.
When Liu Chen had just gone down the West Gate, Su Yu, who was shouting at the East Gate, got the news, and when he heard this, he was stunned at first, and then sighed and said:
"Heaven is dead Su Yuye, that Liu Chen's army is nearly 20,000, I'm afraid that the West Gate has been taken now, let's wait first, as long as he Liu Chen doesn't kill innocents indiscriminately, he is willing to lead the whole army to surrender."
Su Yu's words were full of helplessness, he also wanted to be loyal and martyred, but there were more than 100,000 people in Xiangyang City, and there were nearly 5,000 remnants of his army, so he didn't want to have senseless sacrifices.
Under the city, Ding Feng, who looked confident, watched the resistance of the Jin army in the city getting weaker and weaker, there was a trace of fire in his eyes, and the hand holding the sword became more and more clenched.
Da Da...
But at this time, a horse quickly came to Ding Feng, dismounted from a distance, ran to kneel, and hurriedly said:
"Report to the general, there are a large number of Han troops in Ximen, and they are already attacking the city, I'm afraid they have impure intentions!"
"What?"
Ding Feng heard that Rao was that he had gone through many ups and downs, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and then scolded with a blue face:
"The shaft is treacherous, and he actually wants to make a profit, it's really hateful!"
He originally planned to attack the city from all sides, but as a result, his forces were scattered, so he only concentrated on attacking the two gates in the southeast.
Now that he has attracted most of the Jin army here, it is easy for Liu Chen's army to take one door, no wonder he scolded Liu Chen for being treacherous.
Immediately, Ding Feng forcibly ordered Bu Xian Wuyan to intensify the attack on the two gates, and at the same time sent a small general with 4,000 soldiers and horses to bypass the south gate and go to the west gate to have a look.
When Liu Chen came to the east gate, it happened that the Wu army had attacked the city tower, and dozens of people had gathered into a pile.
Liu Chen immediately made a decision, and the army pounced, and he had to fight together with the Jin and Wu armies.
Half of the Jin army was scattered at the south gate, and there were only 3,000 people here, and Liu Chen still had an advantage in strength, so he ordered to kill them together.
But Su Yu didn't want his subordinates to be killed or injured senselessly, so he hurriedly raised his knife and shouted:
"Soldiers, get out of the way!"
After speaking, he actually led the Jin army to disperse, leaving the space in the middle to Liu Chen's Han army and only a few hundred Wu troops.
Seeing this, Liu Chen knew what Su Yu meant, and while he was overjoyed, he hurriedly ordered:
"Only kill Wu Jun, Jin Jun doesn't ask!"
Although dozens of Jin soldiers were still killed in the conflict, this was also after restraint, with Liu Chen's 5,000 soldiers and horses, the Wu army was defeated and retreated.
The Wu army, which could not retreat, was cut down by the Han army that rushed up, and some Wu soldiers saw that the general trend had gone, and hurriedly closed their eyes and jumped down the city tower in order to avoid swords and guns, and many were killed and injured.
Ding Feng under the city also found out about this scene, his eyes were on fire, he drew his sword and pointed at the city and shouted:
"Liu Chen, come out and answer!"
Liu Chen looked down at the long-lost old general Ding on the battlements surrounded by more than a dozen guards.
"Old General Ding, I am fortunate to meet you, the world is unpredictable, I didn't expect us to meet in this situation."
Ding Feng saw that Liu Chen was heroic and sharp, not like Liu Bei and the rumored Liu Chan, a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and then he disappeared and asked:
"Liu Chen, Han and Wu have always been brothers and friends, why do you want to do such a despicable thing and destroy the friendship between the two countries?"
Liu Chen felt that the guards in front of him were affecting him, so he stretched out his hand to pull it away and faced Ding Feng directly, in addition to the strong interest in his eyes, it was love talent.
Hearing this, Liu Chen sneered and said:
"Joke, friendship between the two countries? I think that our emperor Zhaolie Emperor sent troops to arrest the rebels, and the country of Erwu actually set fire to the sneak attack, burned and killed hundreds of thousands of Han troops, and forcibly occupied several counties in Jingzhou, this is the friendship between the two countries? ”
Liu Chen's words made Ding Feng furious, and he shouted:
"Xiao'er Hugh's nonsense, where did the hundreds of thousands of Han troops come from?"
"Then you told the boy, how many tens of thousands were burned?"
"Less than 100,000 ......"
Ding Feng was halfway through his words, only to realize that something was wrong, but unfortunately it was too late to close his mouth, so he saw Liu Chen's successful smile.
Ding Feng is worthy of being an old spicy, and after a few breaths, he calmed down the anger in his heart, and then said in a flat voice:
"Since you are not afraid of offending our country, then good, we only have swords and soldiers to meet, and in addition, this matter will be reported to the imperial court, hum!"
Liu Chen breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this, and then said in a loud voice:
"General Ding is going well, don't send it!"
Soon, Ning Sui sent someone to report that Wu Yan's army had retreated, and he and Ding Feng joined forces to camp ten miles outside Xiangyang City, forming a confrontation.
Seeing that the West Gate was well defended, the four thousand Wu troops also returned to the division to report to Ding Feng.
Liu Chen knew that Ding Fengding would not give up, so he hurriedly sent people north to Fangling to report the news, and also sent troops to Chengdu (Harmony) Capital and Hanzhong, hoping to move reinforcements.
The news of Liu Chen's capture of Xiangyang spread out in one day, and the most frightened was Yang Jun in Fancheng, who did not have Zhang Hua's advice, and moved to Xinye under Wang Rong's prodding, trying to rely on this military stronghold to wait for help.
Fancheng was abandoned and received by Wenyang, and the attack of the Jin State was exhausted, and the turtle retreated to Nanyang County in Xinye.
And under Xiangyang City, the happiest are Zhang Yi, Huang Chong and others, which is a great feat.
At the same time, Zhang Yi was ordered to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to Xiangyang to help him in the starry night, so that Ding Feng's military advantage no longer existed, so he had to report to the imperial court while waving his army to the west, preparing to take Jiangxia Beijun.
Luodu, who was closest to here, was the first to get the news, and Sima Zhao, who had just improved, vomited three liters of blood again, and was unconscious, so Sima Yan had to be promoted to the court again.
In the end, it was concluded that 10,000 troops were transferred from the two states of Qingyu and Henan, which had never experienced war, 15,000 troops were combined with the Imperial Forest Army, and then 15,000 troops were divided from Jia Chong's men, and he vowed to conquer the south.
However, it will take a lot of time to transfer troops in these places, so when the army sets out, it is already ten days later.
When he got the news, the most proud was Zhong Hui, this strategy was come up with by himself, and in order to commend him, he still sealed Ju'an as General Anton.
Subsequently, under the pretense of sending reinforcements to the south, he sent 30,000 troops to make a gesture of destroying this army.
When Jia Chong was anxious to order Du Pre to lead troops to help, he raised the whole army to surround Du Pre's army, and as a last resort, Jia Chong ordered Hu Fen to lead troops to rescue.
As a result, most of the defenders of Chang'an were drawn out, and only 5,000 old and weak people remained in the city to guard the huge city.
In this way, Zhong Zhong will be in his arms, and he secretly ordered Tian Zhang to replace him in the Chinese army, but he led 8,000 elite soldiers to attack from the northeast corner of Chang'an City by night, and captured the sleeping Jia Chong alive, and suddenly Chang'an City was down.
Now the world is lively, Liu Chen took advantage of the chaos to take Xiangyang, and soon Zhong Hui used a plan to take Chang'an, so that many people saw that the Jin State was weak, and the Jin State was turbulent and stormy.
Liu Chan of Chengdu (Harmony) Capital is naturally very happy, taking Xiangyang is no longer as simple as taking the first step to recover the land, Xiangyang is rich and known to the world.
Of course, not everyone is happy, for example, the crown prince Liu Xuan, he is in an awkward position.
In the past, Liu Chan was slack off on the affairs of the court, he was an assistant to the government, and he was also doing what a prince should do, but now that Liu Chan is in power, he has been completely abandoned.
"Brother Huang, this Liu Chen is now in command of the army of the Han Kingdom, if we deal with him before, he will definitely not give up, think of a way!"
Liu Yao no longer has the mentality of being Liu Xuan a chess piece at this time, and now Liu Chen has grown into a high mountain, pressing on his head, making him a little bit of a bow and a snake.
Liu Xuan, who was pacing anxiously, couldn't either, and finally his eyes became firm and he spoke:
"Brother Huang, don't be in a hurry, now go and invite Mr. Chengzuo to come."
"Chen Shou?"
