To put it bluntly, the above approach of insolence is an imitation of the famous empty city plan. With his understanding of the generals of Xuzhou, he believed that with the wisdom and courage of Cao Bao and his ilk, he could not see through such a bold strategy.

When Zhang Mad proposed this plan to several heavy generals, those heavy generals who could be called wise and brave, including the ghost genius Guo Jia, had extremely surprised expressions, so that Zhang Mad would remember it for a long time.

"The lord is wise, and the ministers are obedient!"

Watching his subordinates fall to the ground with happy and sincere expressions, not to mention how proud he was in his arrogant heart. Fortunately, he hasn't forgotten that this plan was learned from the novels of later generations, and he didn't really think that he was a great wisdom strategist who was not born in the world.

It was a military tactical adventure. If Cao Bao mobilizes the defenders of the city and attacks the arrogant, the arrogant tiger skin will be punctured at once. At that time, in order to escape for his life, Zhang Madness would decisively withdraw to the camp and stay behind closed doors. At the same time, he will also have to recall part of Xie Xun's forces to deal with Cao Bao's counteroffensive.

However, even if there is such an embarrassed appearance, the arrogance will only slightly lose some prestige, and it will not cause much substantial damage. As for the act of recalling some of Xie Xun's soldiers, it only restored the entire battle situation to the strategic form before the strategy. At most, there are not enough reserves, and Xie Xun wants to conquer Chen Deng's camp, but he is afraid that he will have to pay a lot of casualties and time.

Based on the above, it can be considered that the arrogant "empty city strategy" is a strategy with little risk and big returns. Of course, it is also a somewhat helpless strategy.

Even if he is recognized, as long as he does not deliberately procrastinate, with his skills, it will be easy to escape back to the camp. And all the arrogant army of the elite is not something that Chen Deng's strength can resist. As long as Cao Bao's reinforcements are sent one day late because of suspicion, no. Even if it is half a day, maybe Chen Deng's camp will be breached.

So, who will Chen Deng face?

Xie Xun is the former governor, so there is no need to say it anymore. Dian Wei's heavy armor team is most suitable for this kind of destruction of the city, and it must be participated. Another 10,000-strong enemy-level military general, Bao Out. Also in the attack army sequence. In addition, Zhang He, a newly surrendered general who originally belonged to Yuan's generals, was also sent out to fight in this large-scale attack.

Dian Wei, Bao Chu, and Zhang He, when the world's three major enemies of 10,000 people joined forces, even if Chen Deng could fight, could he still resist it?

Through actual combat, it can be determined that the time when Chen Deng successfully resisted the joint attack of the three major enemies of 10,000 people. It's half a day's work.

Under the command and dispatch of Xie Xun, the arrogant army set out from the camp at the beginning of the hour, launched an attack on the camp of Chen Deng, and entered the enemy camp at three minutes and fell into a melee.

Xie Xun is the righteous brother of the arrogant, and his position in the arrogant forces is quite important, but he has never participated in large-scale wars. But. This young man who is all-round in civil and military affairs was ten years ago. was arrogantly entrusted with the people who were in charge of the army, and the military and political were grasped and tempered enough. Therefore, even if Xie Xun was the first time to command an army of up to 30,000 or 40,000, he was able to organize the entire military in an orderly manner.

This ability to command the army is even Zhang He, who has always been proud of his ability to govern the army. All had to show their respect in private. Of course, this is not to say that Zhang He's ability to command troops is inferior to Xie Xun. It's just that Zhang He has never had the experience of commanding an army of more than 10,000 people, and he lacks training in this area.

Chen Deng's preparations to deal with the attack of the arrogant army were actually quite sufficient. It's a pity that the army in his hands has a fatal flaw. is the lack of a real color elite, and the lack of a real fierce general. Chen Deng can swear that as long as he can have an elite army with eighty percent of the combat power of the trapped camp, even if the arrogant army dispatches the three "10,000 enemies", he can still insist on defending.

In order to break through Chen Deng's camp in one go, Xie Xun concentrated the three "10,000 enemies" and used them. Dian Wei broke through the camp defense with heavy armor, Bao Chu broke into the camp with light troops, and then sent a fatal blow with Zhang He's "Euphorbia". The three "10,000 enemies" composed of the decisive arrows can be described as extremely luxurious. If in such a situation, Chen Deng can still lead a group of sub-county soldiers to withstand the attack, then he is not Chen Deng, but the "Soldier Saint" Han Xin.

Of course, Chen Deng is not a fuel-efficient lamp after all. Under his command and counterattack, as many as 1,200 elite soldiers of the Zhang Qiang Army were killed on the spot, and more than twice as many were wounded. Half of that, of course, is the cost of breaking through the battalion's defenses. Even the three 10,000-strong enemies of the Zhang Madman Army were not completely spared.

Dian Wei was shot like a hedgehog by random arrows, relying on the strength of his double armor, and only suffered three minor injuries. Zhang He didn't shoot much, but fortunately he was only scratched by a cold arrow.

The worst thing is Bao Chu. For the convenience of the assault, this guy didn't put on double armor, so he was accidentally set on fire by a team of strong crossbow shooters transferred by Chen Deng, and he was hit by five arrows. Fortunately, Bao's injuries are not critical, except for excessive bleeding and becoming weak, he will be recuperated for a few months, and it should be fine.

Just three moments before the Zhang Madman's army had locked in the victory, the reinforcements from Tanxian County, which Chen Deng had been anxiously waiting for for a long time, arrived near the battlefield belatedly. Although the arrogant strategy ultimately failed, it successfully delayed the reinforcements of Tanxian County for more than two hours.

However, the battle situation at this moment is no longer something that only 5,000 reinforcements from Tanxian County can control. On the contrary, as soon as they saw the arrival of the Tanxian reinforcements, the 3,000 Beidi cavalry, who were unable to participate in the camp attack because of the problem of troops, seemed to have found a good place to grab merit, and launched a confident attack on the Tanxian reinforcements one by one.

Because, the defeat of Chen Deng's camp has been decided, and the reinforcements at this time cannot change the overall situation at all, but they are just begging for hardships.

Poor Adjutant General Cao Bao, who brought troops to help, was already frustrated because the rescue was ineffective, where did he have the heart to fight with the enemy's cavalry?

As a result, only 3,000 of the 5,000 reinforcements sent by Tan County fled back to the city.

However, in the end, the number of defeated soldiers who entered Tanxian from the south reached nearly 10,000. In addition to the 3,000 people sent out by Tan County, there were also 6,000 soldiers and horses brought out by Chen Deng who took advantage of the distraction of the Zhang Madman's army by the reinforcements of Tan County and decisively retreated. In other words, the 5,000 reinforcements that Cao Bao sent out for a long time still played a little role.

So, since Chen Deng was defeated, why didn't he retreat to Guangling County, where he was based. Instead, he followed the reinforcements of Tan County and withdrew into the city of Tan County?

When Chen Deng appeased his subordinate generals, he explained it like this:

"There are many cavalry in the northern army, which are used to chase the dead and chase the north, and they are invincible. If you think that you can outrun the four legs of the Northern Army on two legs, you might as well return to the county by yourself. ”

News of Chen Deng's retreat to Tan County. Reaching the ears of Cao Bao and Wei Xu, the two of them also felt a little guilty. Originally, as soon as the arrogant army was dispatched, Cao Bao should have led the defenders of Tanxian County out of the city to echo as agreed in advance, so as to contain the offensive momentum of the arrogant army. However, these two were suspicious of the arrogance in the city, and they did not dare to send troops for a long time.

It wasn't until he learned the news that Chen Deng's camp had been broken through that Cao Bao was sure that Zhang Qiang was indeed the main force. Determined to send troops to the rescue.

Moreover, after finally seeing through the arrogant and bravado, Cao Bao handed over the reinforcements to the command of the deputy general, and he took 2,000 elite soldiers out of the city to pursue Zhang Madness, wanting to give Zhang Madness a little color.

It's a pity that Zhang Qi has been prepared for this for a long time. As soon as the gate opened, revealing the cavalry inside, Zhang Madness jumped up decisively. In front of everyone's eyes, perform the art of shrinking the ground. In three or two steps, he returned to the guard's place.

Cao Bao still didn't give up, and chased him to the gate of the arrogant camp in one breath, and watched the guards Shi Shiran hug the arrogant into the camp, and then he had to go back in a huff.

The various mistakes and tricks here made Cao Bao very ashamed afterwards. So much so that after his old friend Chen Deng entered the city, Cao Bao made an excuse to settle the defeated soldiers. The affairs are busy, and Chen Deng cannot be received for the time being.

Chen Deng didn't seem to care about Cao Bao's performance, and he didn't look like he was happy and vengeful on weekdays. As the leading tycoon in Xuzhou, Chen Deng naturally has his own mansion in Zhitan County. After pacifying the soldiers who followed. Chen Deng invited a few cronies to return to his mansion and talked for a while before letting the generals go back to the camp to reorganize the troops.

Subsequently, Chen Deng wrote several letters in a row, and asked his cronies' sons to send them quietly, so he sent people to invite Cao Bao and Wei Xu to meet him at home.

Wei Yue listened to the tone of the person sent by Chen Deng and felt very unhappy. It happened that Cao Bao heard that Chen Deng invited him over, and his heart was a little empty, so he planned to go with Wei Yue to visit Chen Deng. Hearing Wei Yue's complaints about Chen Dengte's rudeness, Cao Bao didn't care.

Is the name of "Chen Yuanlong, a man of the lake and the sea" false?

Chen Deng's temper is big, which is known to the whole of Xuzhou. Especially in this battle, although Cao Bao was said to have fallen into an arrogant plan, after all, he had a solid pit for Chen Deng, and he could almost be called a pig teammate. If Chen Deng didn't have a little anger in his heart about this matter, then it wouldn't be Chen Deng.

persuaded Wei Xu a few words, and gave Wei Xu a preventive injection in advance, and the two got on the horse together and went to Chen Deng's mansion to visit him. As Cao Bao expected, Chen Deng did not go out to greet the two. Cao Bao didn't care about this, greeted Wei Xu with a smile, and raised his feet into the courtyard by himself.

When he saw Chen Deng, Chen Deng was carefully wiping a sword.

"Cao Zhongbiao, your people, but it's been two hours late! Two hours! ”

Even when he saw Cao Bao and the others entering the room, Chen Deng still didn't get up, but just asked lightly:

"Yuanlong Mo is angry, didn't I also fall for the trick of the arrogant guy?"

Cao Bao said to Chen Deng with a smile, and at the same time took matters into his own hands and exported a cup of tea from the teapot on the desk.

Chen Deng's habit of drinking tea came from more than ten years ago, when he was captured by insolence. At that time, he had drunk clear tea under the arrogant demonstration, and the bitter and flavorful qualities immediately attracted Chen Deng's interest. Cao Bao also learned to drink tea under the drive of Chen Deng, so that a trend of drinking tea became popular among the famous families in Xuzhou.

"Pity my more than 10,000 Guangling children, you have been tricked by you, and your life and death are unknown. Cao Zhongbiao, should you pay compensation? ”

Hearing this, Cao Bao put down the teacup and asked with a forced smile:

Yuan Long was angry. But tell me, 'What do you want me to make restitution?' If so, I will not be stingy. ”

"Hehe......"

Chen Deng laughed dryly, held the sword that was being wiped with his palm, intentionally or unintentionally, and said slowly:

"Of course you can afford it. Borrowing the gentleman...... First use! (To be continued......)
