Chapter 561: I'd rather die than give in
Chen Song forced each other to die, which made Chen Zhi not know what to do. Seeing Chen Song's resolute expression, Chen Zhi knew that if he didn't agree. Chen Song will definitely do what he says.
Chen Zhi was a little hesitant in his heart, but he finally nodded and agreed. Now is not the time to struggle. Cao Jun's army is pressing, as long as he is slightly worse, Cao Jun will naturally come to the nest, and he will not be able to run even if he wants to.
"Since you have made up your mind, I will leave all the soldiers except for the soldiers of the white-eared elite soldiers. You don't need to fight hard against the enemy, just block the enemy's front and find a way to break through. Chen Zhi instructed irritably.
Chen Song is his right-hand man, and now seeing that he is willing to sacrifice for himself, Chen Zhi's mood is naturally not much better. He glanced at Chen Song with solemn eyes, and then turned his head and left.
Chen Zhi didn't look back, because he didn't dare to look back. He was afraid that he would relent. Chen Song has been with him for a long time, and Chen Zhi never thought that he would be separated from him in this situation today.
Although Chen Zhi said that it was good, let Chen Song lead his troops to evacuate at the right time. But everyone knows that such an outcome is minimal.
Cao Jun came prepared, he surrounded himself for so long without attacking, which can prove that Cao Jun has been planning against him for a long time. In exchange for such a long time, it is definitely an iron-like defense, and it is not easy to break through.
Chen Zhi is confident that he will lead the crowd to break through, but for Chen Song, Chen Zhi is not half a point sure.
The reason why he chose this place to hide is because this place is suitable for breaking through the siege, even if he encounters the encirclement of Cao's army, Chen Zhi is confident. Because there is a secret passage here, this secret passage is very secret, and ordinary people don't even know that there is this road here.
Chen Zhi led nearly a thousand white-eared elite soldiers to protect Liu Bei's two wives and left quietly, and Chen Song was slightly relieved when he heard that Chen Zhi was leaving.
Chen Song knew Chen Zhi's ability, and he also knew that he was far from General Chen Zhi. Therefore, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his life to save General Chen Zhi. He is the pillar of a country, and compared to him, it is like the gap between Starlight and Haoyue.
Chen Zhi led the team to disappear, and Chen Song gathered the remaining more than 1,000 soldiers. He looked at his brother who had been fighting with him for so long, and Chen Song was quite emotional. "Soldiers, now we have reached the end of the road."
Chen Song stretched out his hand and pointed at it, and shouted loudly: "Outside, the Cao army has surrounded our legion, and the army is overwhelmed. In the army, the grain and grass in our army have been exhausted, and internal and external troubles describe our army as not bad at all. ”
"Presumably the brothers are not stupid, and they know the purpose of our stay." Chen Song glanced at the silent crowd for a moment, and then spoke again: "That's right, our purpose is to cover the general's evacuation, this business is dead, if the brothers present are afraid, they can throw down their weapons and take off their armor and leave." ”
"I don't laugh at my departed brother, and I don't let people insult my departed brother. Now we have to fight hard, we have to put our heads on our belts and work hard. If my brothers are afraid of death and want to leave, I will never stop them. However, what I want to say, even if all of you leave, I will hold on until General Chen Zhi is safely evacuated. ”
"Alright, now you have a choice."
Chen Song stared at everyone, but no one chose to leave. They were nailed there like a nail. The momentum is solemn and intimidating.
"Good!" Chen Song nodded approvingly. The performance of the soldiers obviously made Chen Song quite satisfied, the more people, the stronger the strength, which can also delay the evacuation of General Chen Zhi for a while.
"Cao Jun is coming soon, and I will start preparing to deal with Cao Jun now, so that they can know that our army is not hot. Although the enemy army is strong, our army is not a weak brigade. Kill! Chen Song burst into tears at the top of his throat.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! "All the soldiers of the Liu army are brandishing weapons, and it is clear that they have quite a lot of momentum.
Chen Song waved his hand, and all the soldiers immediately took action.
After a period of operation, the stimulus has already had a good means of defense. Chen Zhi is a very capable person, whether it is offensive or defensive, he does it with ease, so his defensive measures are naturally very sufficient.
All of them were able to enter the defensive offensive, which was built by Chen Zhi in a short time to hinder the enemy fortress. Although it was completed in a short period of time, the fortress was not easily breached by cavalry or foot.
When Cao Chun led the team to the fortress that Chen had seen, his brows were furrowed deeply. Obviously, he couldn't believe that someone had built a fortress in such an inaccessible place.
Moreover, the location of the secondary fortress was excellent, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was conducive to the evacuation of large armies. Wanting to conquer the fortress in front of him, Cao Chun obviously had a headache, he didn't calculate that there would be a fortress here.
The fortress looks rather shabby, but if you look at the crowds on it, you can tell that there are quite a few people on it. Moreover, the enemy on the city walls is well-armed, and there is not the slightest appearance of bandits.
It is no wonder that Chen Zhi led his army to fight against Cao's army several times, and defeated Cao's army several times. On the whole, it is obvious that the collection of 1,08 sets of weapons and equipment is very simple.
"Uncle Chun, what should I do?" Looking at the fortress in front of him, Cao Ang came to Cao Chun's side and asked. Obviously, if you storm the fortress in front of you, you will definitely suffer heavy losses.
The tiger and leopard cavalry is the elite of the Cao army, although it is a cavalry, but the combat effectiveness after dismounting is still not weak. However, it is absolutely unwise to use the soldiers of the tiger and leopard to storm the fortress in front of you.
Cao Chun sneered, "The enemy army is obviously delaying time to cover the evacuation of Liu Bei's wife." However, our army has already surrounded it, even if they want to stall for time. ”
"The enemy army has run out of food and grass, and it has reached this point, so I will consume it with them to see who can consume whom."
Cao Ang nodded, this method is really good. The Cao army had already surrounded the place, and Cao Angyi firmly believed that no one would quietly leave in the encirclement of the Cao army.
Even if there is an enemy army breaking through, the tiger and leopard cavalry is cavalry, and it will not take long to feel the location of the battle. Cao Jun was not unprepared, and they were obviously very well prepared. Therefore, both Cao Ang and Cao Chun believed that it would be difficult for the Overseers to break through Cao Jun's defensive line in a short period of time.
Cao Jun did not launch an offensive, which made Chen Song's face show a slight smile. This is definitely what he wants to see the most, if Cao Jun does not attack, then he can delay more time for General Chen Zhi.
Time passed day by day, day by day. Chen Zhijun, who was guarding the fortress, hadn't eaten anything for two days.
The grain and grass have long been exhausted, and now Chen Song and the soldiers can only eat some fairly light rice soup. In the whole bowl, most of them sleep, and the bottom of the bowl worries about such a thin layer of rice grains.
Chen Song took the bowl and sighed helplessly. Just this thing, how can it not exhaust the physical strength consumed by the soldiers in a day. Although Cao Jun did not attack, Chen Song obviously did not dare to take it lightly.
The combat effectiveness of the Cao army is quite strong, Chen Song knows it very well, and the black-armored cavalry under the wall is obviously much more elite than the ordinary Cao army. Their combat effectiveness is obviously stronger. Therefore, he defended day and night, for fear that Cao Jun would attack the city when he was unprepared.
Compared to Liu Jun, the tiger and leopard riding here can be regarded as heaven. The tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers did not have the slightest sense of fighting, and their food was much better than that of Liu Jun. Not only do you have three meals, but you can also eat a little meat.
These were all stipulated by Zhao Fei personally, although they were quite extravagant, but no one dared to veto them.
"Uncle Chun, it's been a few days, and there hasn't been any movement from the enemy army, isn't it ......" Cao Ang said with a little worry. However, before he finished speaking, Cao Chun stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Our army has surrounded this place, and unless the enemy army will flee the ground, how can he escape from the encirclement of our army. So, there's no need to worry. Tell the soldiers to be vigilant, as long as there is news, the army will set off. ”
"Don't worry about this, I know it." Cao Ang nodded. Since the commander really said it, he was indeed a little too worried.
Another day, Liu Jun on the fortress was somewhat unable to hold on, because they had no food. Faced with this predicament, Chen Song frowned slightly and thought for a while.
In this state of self-army, even if it is evacuated, it must not be able to run far. Moreover, even if he withdraws by himself, the Cao army below will definitely be aware of it. In that case, he would have exposed the direction of General Chen's evacuation.
General Chen Zhi has to protect the two ladies, and their trip is naturally not much faster. The Cao army is an elite cavalry, if they want to pursue General Chen Zhi with all their might, I am afraid that it will not take a few days to catch up, so the direction of General Chen Zhi's withdrawal must not be exposed.
Since this is the case, there is only one way to fight with Cao Jun. Fight out the last soldier, so that General Chen Zhi can withdraw further.
After making up his mind, Chen Song gathered all the soldiers. He looked at the soldiers under his command, and then said reluctantly: "Now that our army has no food and grass, it is better to rush down and let Cao Jun know the prestige of our army than to be starved to death here." ”
"This matter is still voluntary, if anyone is timid, they can withdraw now."
Chen Song's words aroused public outrage because this was the second time he had said such a thing. For the soldiers of Liu Jun who stayed here, they had already put life and death aside. If someone is cowardly and left before Cao Jun arrived, why wait until now.
Looking at the excited soldiers, Chen Song's expression smiled slightly. "Since my brothers are willing to give up their lives, then I will take the lead. Except for death, he will definitely not withdraw half a step from the battlefield!!! ”
After speaking, Chen Song carried his weapons out of the fortress, and none of the soldiers under his command were ambiguous, and they followed behind Chen Song is with weapons.
