Chapter Twenty-Eight: Battle (Everyone's Support)
"Lord, I don't know if I should say a sentence or not?" Jia Xu was in the military tent to discuss with Fa Zheng and Chen Lin, and Jia Xu said coldly. Chen Lin snorted and said, "Why is Wenhe like this, just say what you say." Jia Xu: "Defeat before fighting, this way of survival, the lord can think about it, if it is." Jia Xu was expected to be like Chen Lin, and he didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was obvious, what should I do if I lose.
Chen Lin stood up, turned around and looked through the military tent, looking at the stars in the sky, for a long time, it fell a lot. Chen Lin began to go out of office at the age of sixteen, went to Luoyang, sent Cai Yong, captured eunuchs, made county orders in Yizhou, pacified the barbarians, fought Xiliang, and all kinds of past events came to mind, and everything he did was to do his best for the Han Dynasty. Including this time, as the governor of Yizhou, he controlled the land of a state, and became one of the few princes now, and when everyone else looked at the Liu family of the Han Dynasty coldly, he came to Chang'an alone, and there were still a few in the Han Dynasty for this loyalty. Chen Lin thought of the dead grandfather, the grandfather with countless secrets, and remembered the Zhang family who had no regrets in the family, and the twin sons, the Wu family, and the daughter born to the Wu family.
"Do your best, do your best, and be loyal." Chen Lin turned around and said slowly, there was no clear meaning, no enthusiasm and pride, only a short sentence, Chen Lin has practiced it for almost twenty years.
On the second day, the army set up camp, marching at a speed like a homeless people, moving slowly, but the army was well defended, at this time, any wind and grass made Chen Lin and Liu Bei panic, part of it was pretended, and part of it was real. The cavalry was very heroic, Chen Lin's cavalry guards, and the only cavalry under Liu Bei's subordinates, walked under the noses of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and sent back information for the army. At this time, the fiercest battle happened to the scouts, there were many Xiliang horses, and there were many scouts, in order not to let the army become blind, whether it was Chen Lin or Liu Bei, although they were heartbroken by the casualties with the scouts, they had to do it.
"Report, the thieves have stopped the attack on Chang'an City, and almost 15,000 cavalry and 10,000 foot soldiers are camping thirty miles southeast of Chang'an." The scout sent back the news of sacrificing his life, at this time Chen Lin and Liu Bei were completely together, Chen Lin said to Liu Bei: "It seems that the previous estimate of Li Zhiran's possible interception location is not very far away. ”
Liu Bei smiled: "Twenty-five thousand troops came to stop us and wait, fifteen thousand iron horses, Li Zhiran really looks up to us." Chen Lin and Liu Bei laughed, Chen Lin: "Xuande, isn't it time to set camp, it's sunset." Liu Bei looked at it, the sun was shining on his head, and laughed: "Yes, it's time to set up camp." ”
Li Dao's battalion, now Li Dao has come to the southeast of Chang'an, he wants to personally intercept and kill Chen Lin and Liu Bei, anyone who wants to save Chang'an from the 80,000 army, it is impossible, it has been three months, the 200,000 army has been surrounded for three months, and the shame is lost, this time if Chen Lin and others are allowed to enter Chang'an, Chang'an City will definitely have high morale, and the fighting spirit will be renewed. The scout reported that Chen Lin had set up camp, and Li Dao shouted: "What? Set up camp, now? The scout nodded affirmatively.
Li Wei secretly scolded a coward, I'm afraid that I don't have to be afraid of being like this, when will I come to Chang'an if I march like you. Li Wei shouted: "Come on, pull out the camp, and march." The herald was stunned for a moment, and Li Wei saw that the horsewhip was whipped, and the snap was a whip: "Stupid?" The herald ate the whip, and when he saw that Li Dao was furious, he didn't dare to ask the reason, so he panicked and gave orders to the battalion generals.
Li Dao rode in front of the cavalry: "Black bear, the cavalry marches at full speed, kill him and return to his mother's house." Li Dao's unexpected action did not make Xiliang and the generals puzzled and opposed, on the contrary, Li Dao ordered the cavalry to go first, and the foot soldiers were on the heel, which made the fifteen thousand iron horsemen scream, the one called the black bear turned out to be a Qiang man, and the weapon used was not the usual one in the Han army, but a big iron hammer, just like the one used by the blacksmith, which was only dozens of times larger than the large one. The black bear roared angrily, and Guala croaked a few words of not very proficient Chinese: "Xiliang Iron Ride." ”
As soon as the black bear shouted Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the 15,000 Iron Cavalry immediately raised their weapons on the horse: "The world is invincible." "This momentum, the megatron, the stirring pride and blood, straight to the heart. With a loud bang, the authentic ten thousand horses galloped, Li Dao rode on the horse and acted with the black bear, originally wanted to follow behind the foot soldiers and command the foot soldiers, but the shouts of the iron cavalry made Li Dao feel that the little Chen Lin, 15,000 iron horses were enough.
"What?" It was Chen Lin and Liu Bei's turn to be surprised, it was about to fall into night at this time, and the army had been camped here for two hours. Chen Lin shouted: "Twenty miles away?" The guards were aggrieved: "Lord, Xiliang's scouts are so powerful that we can't get close at all, and we didn't know until they stepped into the range of the secret sentinel." ”
"Quick, quick, gather the generals to discuss the matter, please Lord Liu." After a while, everyone rushed over, Liu Bei: "Why is Bozhi so anxious?" It seems that Liu Bei's cavalry is even worse than Chen Lin's guards, and he didn't get the news, Chen Lin's face was pale: "Li Zhiran is here, the cavalry, there are still twenty miles, and now I am afraid that there will be fifteen miles away." ”
"What?" This time, not only Liu Bei, but even Sima Fang was shocked, fifteen miles, Liu Bei and the others' foot soldiers, even if they wanted to, they couldn't run now, and as soon as they retreated, they were defeated. Liu Bei couldn't help but get restless, Jia Xu: "Miscalculation, if Li Zhiran didn't act impulsively, then this person would be too terrible." In fact, it was Li Dao who did it on the spur of the moment, where did Li Dao know anything about Jia Xu's plan.
Chen Lin: "No matter what it is, even if Li Zhiran came impulsively, it is also a problem for our army, and it is impossible to retreat now, Xuande, our army is camping on the mound, and immediately organize the whole army to cut down trees to resist horses and defend on the spot." Liu Bei: "Is it too late?" ”
Jia Xufa and Sima Fang almost said in unison: "You have to do it if it's too late." "Everyone knows what it is like for 15,000 cavalry to rush over, and to run is to let others chop their backs, and it is better to fight with guns on the spot. Chen Lin: "Yes, defend on the spot, as long as you resist Li Zhiran's first wave of attacks, the infantry behind you will definitely not be so fast, and it will only arrive tomorrow at the earliest, plus it is already dark, this is the advantage of our army." As long as the cavalry can't crush us all at once, we have a chance. ”
Don't say much, act immediately, the entire military camp is boiling, Chen Lin is on the left and Liu Bei is on the right, less than ten zhang apart, almost a joint operation. At this time, the officers and soldiers of the two armies struggled to knock the giant wood into the ground, and it was just a simple camp, but where did they expect that Li Dao would call, so these basic man-hours were not available, and now they can only be repaired.
Chen Lin looked at the busy crowd and said to Jia Xu: "No, it's too slow." Jia Xu: "Lord, there is no way, fortunately, our army is camped in the dense forest, and the dense forest trees are not good for the cavalry, otherwise I don't know how much more difficult it will be." Chen Lin looked back and said to Jia Xu: "Push all the carriages forward, use the carriages as a rejection horse, and form a line of defense, with pikemen in front and archers behind." "The carriage is full of the baggage of Chen Lin's army, and now that his life is gone, where can he manage any baggage
When Jia Xu heard this, he acted very much in extraordinary times, and hurriedly said: "Lord, leave thirty carriages." Chen Lin was puzzled, Jia Xu had no choice but to bow his head and say: "Lord, our army and Liu Xuande are not more than ten zhang away, if Liu Xuande can't resist it, the enemy army is coming from the right side, and these thirty carriages can immediately become a fence." But now it is not good for our army to set up obstacles here, so as not to cause Liu Xuande to panic and think that our army is going to abandon them. ”
Chen Lin nodded: "Yes, Wenhe is reasonable, now he and Xuande are allies, and they can't make local moves, but they are not tender, so the enemy army may rush over from Xuande's side and leave thirty vehicles." ”
Huang Yan shouted and commanded the soldiers to defend with Duan Yu Liu Zhao and others, Chen Lin looked up at the northwest, the sky was already too dark to see, hope; Li Dao will not attack overnight, but if Li Dao does not attack, surround them, and wait until tomorrow his foot soldiers come up, then Chen Lin Liu Bei will be in greater trouble, so now it is an absolute disadvantage. Chen Lin turned around and smiled at Zhou Cang: "This time it's enough for you to kill." ”
"General, the enemy army did not flee, but stepped up to set up a rejection horse to repel our army." During the march, the scout reported to Li Dao, and when Li Dao heard it, he laughed and underestimated me? Can 10,000 people stop me? Full speed forward army. Fifteen miles away, the iron cavalry arrived in a blink of an eye, and the black bear stepped forward: "General, the enemy army is cunning, building a village in the forest, and it is dark and difficult to fight." Li Dao stepped forward to see that the black-pressed iron riders combined with the black night, all of them were black-pressed. I saw that two miles away was Chen Lin's army, and the torches were bright, but it was far from enough. Li Wei smiled, and smiled at Chen Lin and Liu Bei's simple Yan Shan: "In this way, you want to prevent us, this is Xiliang, not the Central Plains." The last sentence was almost shouted at Chen Lin's military camp, and all the soldiers in Xiliang laughed when they heard Li Dao roaring like this.
"Black bear, burn the wood, burn the pyre, burn, I'll light up this camp." Li Wei ordered, apparently preparing for a night battle. The black bear said: "Is it okay to burn them directly?" When Li Wei heard this, he was angry: "You can see clearly, none of the trees on the small hill of the enemy camp have been cut down, but there are trees on the periphery." ”
Alas, the black bear screamed, ordered someone to light a torch, and suddenly the sky was red, and within a radius of five miles, it was clear.
"Attack" Li Dao gave an order, and the whining horn sounded, and the Xiliang army used the command method of the Qiang people, which was similar to the horn sound that Chen Lin learned from the Hu people.
Chen Lin stood in the camp, listened to the long stack of horns, and said, "It's coming." "The three armies are assembled and ready for battle.
