Chapter 138: Chen Sheng's Choice

In Chen County, in the palace of King Chen, a beautiful sound is endless, more than a dozen musicians on the left and right are drumming and beating, and there are a few dancing girls in the middle who are twisting their bodies and dancing.

Chen Sheng in front of the main case was drunk in the arms of a delicate beauty, holding an ear cup in his hand, and watching the dance with confused eyes.

Repeatedly attacked by the Zhao army, coupled with the news of the defeat of Zhou Wen and Wu Guang's two armies, Chen Sheng has lost his fighting spirit, although he heard that the Zhao army is in a predicament and is about to retreat, but he knows that his general trend has gone, so he began to indulge in pleasure, he is afraid, afraid that he will die suddenly, and he will not have a chance to enjoy.

On the wall of Chen County, Lu Wu, who was in charge of the night watch, found that Liu Bang's camp at the east gate was attacked, so he hurriedly ran to the palace of King Chen, regardless of the guards, and rushed into the hall fiercely.

LΓΌ Wu is the son of LΓΌ Chen, and since his father was killed by the Qin army, he has always been resentful of the Qin army, and he is very excited when he finds out that the Qin army is moving.

In the hall, Chen Sheng saw that Lu Wu did not report, so he entered the hall directly, his face was very ugly, and he wanted to scold him when he opened his mouth.

However, Lu Wu hurriedly said: "Great King, Great King, it's not good, the Qin army has attacked the camp." ”

"Attacking the camp? What nonsense are you talking about, if the Qin army really wants to attack, it is also a siege, and it is now night. Chen Sheng was stunned, his eyes were still full of confusion, obviously unconvinced, thinking that Lu Wu was playing tricks on him.

Seeing that Chen Sheng didn't believe it, Lu Wu stomped his feet in a hurry, and said in a rough voice: "It's to attack the camp, the Qin army is rushing to attack the Peigong camp, the situation is precarious, and I ask the king to make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Chen Sheng was stunned for a moment, looking at Lu Wu's expression, it was obvious that he was not talking nonsense, and finally his face changed, and he finally realized that something was wrong, got up and pushed the woman next to him away, and his eyes instantly returned to clarity.

"Really? Then why did the Qin army suddenly abandon the city and attack Liu Bang's camp in the dark? Although Chen Sheng already believed it, his heart was full of doubts, and at the same time, there was a lingering sense of haze.

Lu Wu hurriedly said: "King, I don't know, you go to Dongcheng to have a look, if Liu Bang's camp is really broken, then it will be difficult for our lonely city to be saved." ”

"Zhuang Jia, lead the troops to accompany Gu to the East City Gate, and spread that Qin Jia will see Gu." Chen Sheng shouted.

"No!" At this time, a sturdy middle-aged man came out of the door, looking elegant, but with a deceitful look in his eyes.

He is Zhuang Jia, his martial arts are extraordinary, Chen Sheng's royal coachman, and he is also his personal guard, so he naturally wants to follow him when he appears.

Soon, Zhuang Jia arranged it, and at the same time transferred some personal guards to protect Chen Sheng, drove the carriage, and hurried all the way to the East City Gate.

As soon as Chen Sheng stepped on the east city gate, he listened to the shouts to kill the whole day, and the torches outside the east gate almost illuminated the entire sky, and under the torches were countless black-clothed Qin troops, attacking Liu Bang's camp like crazy.

Although the camp has not yet been breached, the situation is precarious.

"How many people are in this Qin army?" Chen Sheng not only asked, because under the dark sky, the battlefield was chaotic, and he couldn't see it clearly.

Zhuang Jia said beside him: "Look at this momentum and banner, a few will have 20,000 people, it seems that the Qin army should be pouring out." ”

Chen Sheng nodded, the Qin army is now at most 20,000 people, such a strong offensive, the Qin army is obviously going to die.

At this moment, suddenly the majestic Qin Jia came and saluted Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, you see, the Qin army is now attacking Peigong, what should our army do." ”

Qin Jia was in his thirties, with some beards on his face, and his expression was shocked at a glance, and finally said: "I should go all out to rescue him, please ask the king to give me all the men and horses, and go out of the city to rescue him, otherwise Pei Gong will be defeated, and our army will definitely be difficult to protect itself." ”

Chen Sheng was stunned, "But what about the city?" ”

Qin Jia explained: "Great King, the Qin army must have attacked with the whole army, and it is useless to keep troops in the city, it is better to attack with the whole army, otherwise the last general will not be sure to defeat the elite Qin army." ”

Chen Sheng frowned, and immediately thought of the terrifying combat power of the Qin army.

However, at this time, Lu Chen said again: "But Pei Gong has instructed us to guard the city, and I think in the end we should leave three or five thousand men and horses in case of accidents." ”

"Okay, Qin Jia, you immediately lead 10,000 horses out of the city to rescue Pei Gong, and Lu Chen, you lead the 3,000 people in the city to guard the city." Chen Sheng immediately made arrangements.

"No!" Qin Jia and Lu Chen immediately took the order and left.

Zhuang Jia glanced at Chen Sheng and said in a low voice: "King, let's go back too, there are two generals here, and the Qin army is attacking Pei Gong again, we are safe, the king should rest early, you haven't slept well for a few nights." ”

After listening to Zhuang Jia's words, Chen Sheng, who was still nervous just now, suddenly sighed, "Yes, let's go back and sleep, if you fall asleep, you won't have so many worries." ”

Outside the city, Zhou Chang found that Qin Jia and his troops were out of the city, so he informed Guan Ying and a few people of the news, and Cao Wuxian immediately withdrew from the bow and crossbow camp and drew his sword to meet him.

At the same time, Zhou Chang sent another scout, quietly detoured to the south gate, and went west.

Here, Lu Wu first divided the 3,000 people into two groups, focusing on guarding the north and south gates, but later remembered that Liu Bang had sent people to warn him before, so he divided the soldiers and horses into three groups, and the west gate was also divided into a wave

Two miles away from the West City Gate, there was a dense jungle, and outside the jungle there were several groups of Qin army scouts on guard.

And the dark shadows in the jungle were crouching with three thousand dead soldiers of the Qin army, and the horses were also pacified, and it was forbidden to make any noise, and the entire jungle was as silent as death.

Surrounded by Bo Lang and Hu Hai, Zhao Jun lurked in a bush, carefully waiting for news.

"Second brother, why hasn't there been any movement, is there a deviation from the east gate?" Hu Hai looked at the time and waited until he was a little impatient.

"No, even if there is anything abnormal, Zhou Chang will send someone to inform him." Zhao Jun shook his head and motioned for him to calm down.

At this moment, suddenly Bo Lang pointed to a rapidly approaching black shadow outside the jungle and said, "Lord, someone is coming." ”

The black shadow approached, and saw that it was a black-armored cavalry, and after exchanging slogans and tokens with the scouts arranged by the Zhao army on the periphery, they came straight to see the Zhao army.

The person who came three steps closer immediately bowed: "Meet Lord Hou, the enemy army has been led out of the city, there are about 10,000 people." ”

Hu Hai was overjoyed, "They really went out of the city." ”

Zhao Jun nodded, that is to say, at this time, Chen Sheng's soldiers and horses in the city were only 3,000, and under his own surprise attack, it was very likely to succeed.

"Go back and tell General Zhou Chang that he will bring the scout army to help the infant attack Liu Bang's camp, don't sigh."

When the scout heard this, he immediately complied, and immediately turned and left.

At this time, Zhao Jun stood up and said loudly: "The whole army is set off, the goal, Chen County." ”

"Let's go!" Bo Lang and Hu Hai all stood up.

Immediately afterwards, the three thousand dead soldiers rushed out of the jungle and killed Chen County. (To be continued.) )
