Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and Chen Lin discussed with Gao Shun in the canyon: "Gao Shun, now everything is ready, there is Lao Gaoshun tonight." Gao Shun: "Shun won the trust of the lord, took charge of the trapped camp, and wanted to attack the city and pull out the village for the lord, the lord please be relieved, the ambition of the battle, there is no retreat, and tonight the lord will take the tin city." After Gao Shun finished speaking, he bowed heavily and turned around to lead the army.

Jia Xu: "Lord, Gao Duwei is steady, when there will be no chaos, the lord will lead 500 guards to march half a moment after Gao Duwei set off, and the 2,000 troops in the camp will sneak attack the 5,000 rabble in Xicheng, and Gao Shun will not disappoint the lord." Chen Lin's guards all followed, and only the eighty horsemen had to follow Chen Ze behind, but I was afraid that they were already on the road at this time, and they had to send arrows on the string. According to the agreement, as soon as Chen Ze's cavalry moved, Zhang Xiu must have known, and the Yang family brothers in Xicheng also successfully persuaded their old subordinates, the former Xicheng County Lieutenant, to collect hundreds of old troops, and if they don't act, they are afraid that they will be exposed.

So as soon as it got dark, Gao Shun led the two thousand trapped camps out of the canyon outside the Meridian Valley, and it was estimated that he would be able to rush to Xicheng by then. Not long after Gao Shun left, Chen Lin led the guards to set off, and Chen Lin's five hundred guards were formed based on the three hundred teenagers back then, which was very strong.

Let's say that Gao Shun came to the tin city wall first, and only rested for a while, and saw three torches rising from the city gate, swaying from side to side, which was the agreed signal. Gao Shun was about to wave his army and steal into the city, and suddenly the tin city two or three miles away, which was originally silent, was suddenly boiling, and the shouts of killing rose and fell. Chen Zhi rushed up and said to Gao Shun: "Gao Duwei, the disaster has happened, presumably Neiying was discovered by the city, I don't know if the city gate has been opened." Gao Shun hurriedly ordered: "Trap the camp, advance without retreat, march quickly, and target the city gate." "This time he stole Xicheng, Chen Lin and his army did not have a horse, Gao Shun took the lead, took the lead in rushing in with a gun, and followed closely behind the camp silently.

Gao Shun ran to the city wall and saw that the city gate had been opened, and about three or four hundred people were forming a formation to protect the city gate, and more than a thousand people in the city were storming. With a wave of his hand, the camp of the high-speed march stopped instantly, and Chen Zhi asked urgently: "Captain Gao, why stop, why should you fight hard?" Gao Shun saw that he was the third brother of the lord, so he said: "Stealing the city in the dark at night, you should be cautious, if you should rebel and design to harm our army, and if you march recklessly, the whole army is in danger, and the general must remember the carelessness." When Chen Zhi heard this, he thanked him: "The last general will be taught" Gao Shun looked at it for a while, and saw that the real knife and real gun confrontation at the city gate were heavy, and there were heavy casualties, which did not seem to be fake, so he waved his knife forward again and shouted loudly: "Trap the camp, charge, Chen Guo will hold the city gate, and the rest will capture the government with a certain one." ”

Gao Shun shouted, it was the Yang family brothers at the city gate, and they also heard the shouting and killing, and their spirits were lifted, Yang Ren shouted loudly: "The imperial army has arrived, you are the same as the children of Hanzhong County, why not abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and be willing to protect your life." At this time, Gao Shun had not yet arrived, and a person was escorted out of the anti-thief array on the opposite side, covered in blood, kneeling on the ground with his hands tied behind his back, and he tried to stand up several times, but he was pressed down. Yang Ren shouted out from behind him: "Father, father." He was about to rush up, but Yang Ang hurriedly stopped. One of the thieves put the knife on the neck of the person on the ground, and shouted at Yang Ren and the others: "Changqi, close the city gate, otherwise your father's head will fall to the ground." ”

The person kneeling on the ground turned out to be the "Uncle Chang" persuaded by the Yang brothers in Xicheng, the former county lieutenant of Xicheng, who was captured in many places in tonight's battle to capture the city gate. At this time, the county lieutenant, who was weak, suddenly shouted: "Qi'er, follow Yang Gongzi loyally." Yang Gongzi, take care of Qi'er. After shouting two sentences, without waiting for everyone to react, his head slammed into the tip of the knife, piercing through. Chang Qi saw that his heart and liver were cracked, and his head was soft on the ground, but fortunately, Yang Ang's eyes were quick and he helped him.

The thief originally wanted to take this person as a hostage and threaten the other side, but he didn't want the hostage to be strong, but he died, which aroused the hatred of 300 people. Yang Ren said in a low voice: "Uncle Chang, don't worry, the Yang family will live up to Changqi." Then he said loudly: "Changqi, your father died well, and you look like this, won't Uncle Chang die without turning a blind eye." Chang Qi also tried to stand up, his eyes were red, his hands were tightly gripping the handle of the knife, he couldn't speak, and looked at Yang Ren. Yang Ren nodded, looked back at Gao Shunjun, there was still a mile away, this battle was won, and he didn't speak, he only guarded the attack of the anti-thieves, and guarded the city gate to the death, just not taking a step back.

Gao Shun led the army to rush forward and shouted: "Is the Yang family brother on the other side?" Yang Ren hurriedly responded: "It is Yang Ren Yang Jiwei, I don't know which general it is?" "Under the command of a certain lord, Gao Shun, the commander of Hanzhong, Yang Gongzi, please give way and hand it over to so-and-so."

Yang Ren hurriedly commanded the remaining two hundred or so people to dodge, and saw that the formation was not chaotic in the rapid charge of the trapped camp, and everyone was silently swordsman, Yang Ren breathed a sigh of surprise, how majestic the sergeant of the Taishou Lord was. As soon as the thieves on the opposite side made a slight contact, they were attacked and retreated, and the originally congested city gate was instantly washed down. The trapping camp began to divide into 300 people, led by Chen Guo to defend the city gate, and the others followed Gao Shun to storm the city.

Yang Ren's two hundred people were shocked to see it, and when they saw that Chen Guo was also like a wolf, he was on guard against himself, and he couldn't help but be surprised by this army. Yang Ren shouted: "Kill, rush into the city with Gao Duwei, a good man is making contributions at this time." The two hundred men were encouraged, and rushed into the city, despite their fatigue.

Yang Rengang led the troops into the city, and Chen Lin also led the guards outside the tin city to arrive, and saw the fire of the tin city, and heard the sound of killing, knowing that Gao Shun had already begun, and the battle was not on the city wall from a distance, presumably the Yang brothers had succeeded and had already attacked the city at this time. Jia Xu smiled: "Lord, can you worry about it now?" Jia Xu said this just because Chen Lin kept chattering all the way, and only Jia Xu dared to make fun of Chen Lin among the people, and he didn't forget to say the last sentence at this time, which made Chen Lin speechless. Jia Xu found that he and Chen Lin had a characteristic, that is, they could become what kind of attitude they faced with what kind of person, which was also the reason why Jia Xu was determined to join Chen Lin.

When Chen Lin arrived at the city gate, Chen Guo hurriedly came over to pay a visit: "Young Master, Gao Duwei has entered the city, and he is guarding the city gate." Chen Lin laughed and encouraged: "Okay, Chen Guo also has merit in this battle, close the city gate tightly, do not allow entry and exit, and those who violate the order will be killed." After speaking, he hurriedly entered the city, and said to Huang Yan: "Huang Yan, send someone to send an order to Gao Shun, do not kill those who descend, quickly control the four gates, and maintain peace in the city." ”

When it was dark and chaotic, the thieves were caught off guard, and many soldiers did not know what was happening, when they saw a group of tigers and wolves surrounding them, shouting that those who surrendered would not be killed, and had no choice but to surrender. Gao Shun specially ordered Chen Zhi to concentrate the prisoners in the original military camp of the anti-thieves in the city and strictly guard them, and Chen Zhi led 400 traps to the camp to guard them, and there were 1,300 or 400 prisoners. The first battle was not basically subsided until dawn, the sky was bright, Gao Shun hurriedly came to report, saying that the city had been cleared of anti-thieves, and at this time it was handed over to Yang Ren to lead people to maintain stability. The casualties of the trapped camp were less than 100, and 1,400 thieves were captured.

Chen Lin knew that the trapped camp was very powerful under the leadership of Gao Shun, but he didn't expect it to be terrifying, he looked at Jia Xu with a surprised face, and was just about to speak to Gao Shun, when a sergeant suddenly rushed over, seeing that Gao Shun and Chen Lin were there, he bowed to Chen Lin: "My lord, there are traces of thieves found in the southwest of the city, the number is unknown, and the soldiers guarding the city ask the lord to decide." ”

Chen Lin sighed: "I didn't expect the rice thief to come so quickly." Gao Shun waved his hand and ordered the sergeant to retreat, Jia Xu said: "This must be a reinforcement from the direction of Chenggu County, Zhang Xiu does not know about the army, 40,000 or 50,000 troops, divided into six counties, the number of people in each city is the same, and he doesn't know how to choose the weight to defend." There are 5,000 people in this Xicheng, presumably there are only five or six thousand people in Chenggu County, and those who come to save Xicheng this time must only be 3,000. The lord doesn't need to worry, now that Xicheng is under the control of our army, the thieves will retreat. ”

Chen Lin seemed to be justified when he heard it, so he said to Gao Shun: "Strict four cities, hold on, Gao Shun and a certain go with a certain to see the reinforcements of this rice thief, hahaha." After speaking, he led the guards to the city to watch. Sure enough, as Jia Xu said, the number of people was only three thousand, and they were shouting at the west of the city at this time.

Jia Xu saw that the number of anti-thieves was less than 3,000, and said to Chen Lin: "Lord, I'm afraid that the cavalry of the second master is also coming, if you try to drag these 3,000 people, the cavalry of the second master can be killed from behind the enemy army and destroy these 3,000 people, so as to deter the anti-thieves." After hearing this, Chen Lin smiled and said: "Wen He has a good plan, if he makes a general fight with him and returns defeated, the thief thinks that we are vulnerable, and he will definitely stay and want to attack Xicheng." After speaking, he laughed with Jia Xu, turned around and said to Zhou Cang: "Zhou Cang, do you dare to fight?" ”

Zhou Cang didn't know that Chen Lin and Jia Xu were conspiring with their heads, thinking that they were going to fight, and shouted happily: "How dare you dare, there was nothing wrong last night, and a bird's egg came out early, and the eldest young master is optimistic." After Zhou Cang finished speaking, he removed the big knife and went down to the city. Chen Lin drank: "You really want to fight, I'm afraid that you will ruin Wenhe's plan." Zhou Cang hurriedly said: "Which one is better than a certain old Zhou, come and try, young master, this battle is not a bad scholar." ”

Chen Lin and Jia Xu looked at each other and smiled, and said, "Okay, since this is the case, I will order Zhou Cang to fight, fight with the enemy generals, and defeat is not allowed to win." As soon as Chen Lin finished speaking, Zhou Cang replied casually: "Okay." He was about to turn around, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, and looked back at Chen Lin suspiciously, looking very funny. Chen Lin couldn't help laughing, pretending to be angry and said: "This time, we want to leave these three thousand anti-thieves here, and wait for Zhongzhi cavalry to raid, in order to paralyze the anti-thieves, defeat is not allowed to win, what, Zhou Cang, there is no joke in the army, you just kept saying that it was a big thing, how can it be child's play." ”

Zhou Cang's face was dark, and he was as grim as Gao Shun couldn't help but be handsome, so Zhou Cang had to muttered to go down to the city. After Zhou Cang walked away, the city laughed loudly, and Jia Xu: "Lord, this is a difficult time for Commander Zhou, Commander Zhou's eighty-pound broadsword is only afraid that the enemy will not be able to resist a round." ”

Suddenly, Chen Lin pointed to the city, it turned out that Zhou Cang had already gone out of the city, and he didn't bring soldiers and horses, so he dared to go out alone, but what he was carrying in his hand was not the eighty-pound big knife, but an ordinary simple knife that came from nowhere. Jia Xu laughed, this time it was Chen Lin's turn to laugh at Jia Xu, this week Cangren is careless.

The enemy general couldn't figure out Chen Lin's purpose, and when he saw Zhou Cang walking out of the city alone, it was not easy to bully Zhou Cang, so he stepped forward and spoke: "The big man on the other side has the guts, but he came from a big battle. Zhou Cang was angry, seeing this appearance, he wanted to cut it with a knife, but he didn't reply, he rushed up angrily and cut it. The enemy general was frightened by Zhou Cang's momentum, hurriedly blocked it, and was about to retreat, but found that Zhou Cang was just fierce in appearance, weak and weak in raising his knife, and was overjoyed to fight back. Zhou Cang lightly slashed a few times, pretended to be invincible, shouted, hurriedly retreated, and ran back to the city gate. The enemy general did not know the truth from beginning to end, and he did not know how to pursue, and when he saw the city gate closed, he realized that the enemy army was vulnerable. Happily about to wave the army to attack the city, but was shot and killed by Chen Lin, the enemy adjutant said: "General, our army is tired at the beginning, it is better to withdraw the army." So he stationed three thousand troops outside the city.

Zhou Cang returned to the city wall with a puffed stomach, and without saying a word, he sulked at himself, and everyone laughed again.
