Chapter 450: Preparing for a decisive battle
Seeing the adjutant general's expression, Chen Zhi knew that Cao Jun's reinforcements could not be counted on. Thinking of this, Chen Dao's mood was somewhat depressed. If Cao Jun's reinforcements really can't be counted on, then his situation is really precarious.
Today, his camp is in jeopardy. If it weren't for Chen Zhi's geographical advantage, he would have been swallowed by Ji Ling's army a long time ago. And now, it is not far from being swallowed by Yuan Shu's army.
So far, all Chen Zhi can do is break through. Chen Zhi thought calmly that the matter was no longer something that could be solved by sticking to the help. After all, Cao Jun's reinforcements can no longer be counted on, as the saying goes, it is better to ask for others than for yourself, and it is better to have their own destiny.
"Inform all the soldiers to be on guard, and then give the Yuan Shu captives a full meal, and we still need to use their strength to go." Chen Zhi said in a deep voice, according to what he said, it shows that he is now ready to break through.
"No!" The soldier said in a deep voice, then turned around and went down to prepare. After the soldiers went down, Chen Zhi was disturbed by a strong sense of sleepiness.
Seeing the sleepiness on Chen Zhi's face, several lieutenant generals hurriedly spoke: "Since the general wants to break through, then please pay attention to the general's body." If you can't support it now, general, who can lead me and others to go at that time? ”
Chen Zhi thought about it, and it was really the truth. He is the commander of the three armed forces, and he is the soul of the three armed forces. His every move represents the rise and fall of all soldiers. If he really fell, then the thousands of soldiers he had left would collapse in an instant.
"In that case, then I will rest for a while, and then the tent will be handed over to you." Chen Zhi dragged his tired body and said, then turned around and walked out of his tent, to be honest, Chen Zhi was really tired.
Chen went down to rest, and several lieutenants cheered up. Chen Zhi is gone, and the heavy responsibility of ensuring the safety of the camp tent has all fallen on his own people. Outside the camp, tens of thousands of troops are eyeing each other, how dare everyone act rashly.
Not far away from Ji Ling's big tent, Ji Ling was also full of sadness. What he worries about is slightly different from Chen Zhi. Although he suffered a lot of damage in this battle, for this battle, Ji Ling had already seen the loss of victory.
But even so, the damage in this battle was too great. He led an army of 30,000, but after this battle, he had lost nearly 10,000 troops. One-third of the damage, it really hurt the flesh, after all, the 10,000 army is the elite trained by himself, and he lost so much in the first battle, and no one can be in a better mood.
Ji Ling didn't want to lose so much, but Chen Zhi's defense was really tight, and he was well prepared. Whether it is a trap or an arrow, Chen Zhi is well prepared. It is precisely because of this that I have lost so much.
"Do you know where Cao's army has gone?" Ji Ling asked, what he was most worried about at this time was Cao Jun's reinforcements. And it is precisely because of worry that Ji Ling pays close attention to Cao Jun.
Hearing Ji Ling ask this, the generals under his command had already become accustomed to it. Because every day, Ji Ling will have this question. However, Ji Ling's worries were also understood by all the generals. Now that he is very damaged, if Cao Jun suddenly comes, he will definitely not have any ability to resist.
But now, Ji Ling's worries are a little unnecessary. In their opinion, the Cao army had already given up Liu Bei's thousands of soldiers and horses, and attacked Chen's camp so frantically, but the marching speed of the Cao army did not change at all.
"General, don't worry, even if Cao Jun doesn't stop day and night, he won't be able to get here in a short time, so I'll wait for enough time to eliminate Chen Dao." The adjutant general said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ji Ling's heart was relieved for the most part. But then, he asked, "Are the scouts monitoring the Cao army for twelve hours without interruption, and are there any other movements within the Cao army?" ”
"The general can rest assured that Cao Jun has not made any unusual moves." The lieutenant replied again. He believes that Ji Ling is worrying about the sky. Cao Jun had obviously given up on Chen Zhi, and he didn't know why Ji Ling was still like this.
Hearing the adjutant general's repeated assurances, Ji Ling finally let go of the worries in his heart. Since Cao Jun has not moved, and he is far away from him, he can rest peacefully for a few days. After all, the high-intensity combat in the past few days has exhausted all the soldiers. Recuperate, and then with another stormy blow, he can definitely survive a fight, after all, Chen Dao's camp tent has been almost consumed by himself.
"Ordered the three armies to closely monitor Chen to the camp, I speculate that Chen Zhiguan reinforcements have been delayed, and I am afraid that they are preparing to break through. Therefore, I must guard the camp carefully, and I must not let Chen Zhi escape. Ji Ling said in a deep voice. He suffered such a heavy loss, if he still let Chen Zhi run away, then how could he explain to Yuan Shu.
The lieutenant general naturally knows this. Therefore, they also all looked solemn, and everyone already knew about Chen Zhi's toughness, so they naturally attached great importance to it. After all, if Chen Zhi is really allowed to run away, then the Holy Lord will be blamed, Ji Ling may be fine, and he is afraid that he will suffer.
"General rest assured, mine has surrounded Chen Zhituan, even though he is strong, but he will definitely not be able to escape from the palm of our hands." The lieutenant general spoke.
Ji Ling nodded, and then said: "You can go down and rest, and then I just need to recuperate, and when I have enough spirits, I will definitely take down Chen Dao after fighting." After saying that, Ji Ling turned around and walked down.
You must know that although he has not personally put on the battlefield, he is not more idle than the soldiers fighting on the battlefield, after all, he is the commander of the three armies, and every move of the army involves him as the commander, and he works harder than anyone else.
And next, I have to put on the battle and go to the battlefield in person. That Chen couldn't defend it, and he didn't have a chance to fight with it. And this time, I'm afraid it's the last chance, so Ji Ling resolutely wants to seize it. Therefore, at this time, he also needs to recuperate, and then fight Chen Zhi on the battlefield.
Just when Ji Ling was falling asleep, Guan Yu was leading five thousand cavalry and rushing towards the battlefield non-stop. As the saying goes, saving people is like fighting fires, not to mention that he is saving his eldest brother's henchmen, Guan Yu will definitely not work hard.
Thinking that Chen Zhi was now surrounded by Ji Ling's 30,000 army, Guan Yu's heart was anxious. Therefore, he had to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible to help Chen Zhi win the battle.
However, thinking of what Zhao Fei said to himself, Guan Yu was quite emotional. Zhao Fei really used soldiers like a god, and the reason why he did this was to paralyze the enemy army, and then let his five thousand soldiers act as surprise soldiers and play the role of divine soldiers.
Presumably, at this time, Na Ji Ling was still dreaming in the Spring and Autumn Period, but he didn't know that his army was less than three days away from him. When the time comes, as soon as his 5,000 cavalry arrives, and then he joins forces with General Chen Zhi, he will definitely be able to defeat Ji Ling's 30,000 army in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, Guan Yu raised his head and looked at the sky, thinking that he was going to usher in a bloody battle next, he felt a little excited.
Time passed in a flash, and just as Chen Zhi was discussing with his generals how to break through the siege, the scouts of the Cao army, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly appeared outside his camp.
For these elusive guys to suddenly appear, Chen Zhi's mood was suddenly happy. Their appearance will inevitably bring good news, and Chen Zhi was very surprised that they could appear here, he didn't know that this group of guys was like breaking through the encirclement of Yuan Shu's army.
"Quick!" Due to excitement, Chen Zhi's voice was somewhat out of shape. But at this time, it is not the time to care about this, after all, Cao Jun's scout appears here, which means that Cao Jun has not given up on himself.
The scout appeared in front of Chen Zhi, and said casually: "I came here today to bring good news to you, General, General Guan Yu has led five thousand elite horsemen and quietly appeared behind Yuan Shu's army, as for how to do it, it depends on the general." ”
Hearing this, Chen Zhi was overjoyed. He had no doubt that this was Ji Ling's plan. After all, no matter whether Ji Ling was in a hurry or not, he was determined to attack Ji Ling's camp in order to seek a glimmer of life. So he's doing these things at this moment, which is somewhat redundant.
"I hope that brother, you will tell General Guan that at noon today, I will go out of the village to take Ji Ling Dazhai directly, and when the time comes, I hope that General Guan will sneak attack Yuan Shu in the rear, and we will be able to defeat Ji Ling in one fell swoop." Chen Zhi said excitedly, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth at this time, after all, the big stone that had been pressing on his heart for a long time was finally moved.
The scout didn't say a word of nonsense, and after receiving Chen's order, he turned and walked out of the tent. And soon after, he appeared in front of Guan Yu again. In front of Guan Yu, he told Guan Yu everything Chen Zhi said to him.
The arrogant Guan Yu nodded and didn't say half a word. And the scout naturally didn't wait for Guan Yu to reply boringly, and left after finishing speaking.
There was still an hour before noon, and Chen Dao and his two thousand soldiers were already ready to go. The bloody battle in the past few days has made all the recruits grow into veterans, looking at the soldiers in armor and with a resolute expression, Chen Zhi nodded. This bloody battle was not without gains.
After looking at his soldiers, Chen Zhi turned his head and asked, "Have the three thousand Yuan army captives been prepared?" ”
"General Hui, according to your orders, I have fed them a full meal, and now it should be usable." The lieutenant replied.
In this regard, Chen Zhi nodded with satisfaction. In today's battle, these captives are still needed to make contributions. Although Chen Zhi was a little reluctant, it could only be like this at this time, after all, it was better for them to die than for their own soldiers.
