Chapter 54: The reward for capturing Liu Yan alive is 10,000 taels
Cai Yang, Yang Ren and others moved quickly, Gao Shun deserved to be the first general in Hanzhong, vigorous and resolute, and after a while, Chen Lin's remaining 2,500 troops were gathered, and Chen Lin had already commanded the people who helped defend the city to move the obstacles behind the West Gate. At this time, Jia Xu and Zhang Song also understood that Chen Lin was in ruins, leaving Yang Huai alone to defend the city, if Chen Lin won a big victory in this battle, even if Yang Huai persuaded thousands of captives in the city to rebel against Chen Lin, it would not matter. But if Chen Lin loses this time, without Yang Huai's small moves, Chengdu will definitely be finished. Thinking of this, Jia Xu and Zhang Song were much more relaxed, standing behind Chen Lin and looking indifferently at the busy generals, it was not their business to fight and kill, it was the business of these generals. Suddenly, Chen Lin shouted: "Zhou Cang, have you gathered the guards?" ”
Jia Xu was shocked, Chen Lin is going to fight in person, this Liu Yan has an army of 30,000, and there are only 3,000 people, which is dangerous, how can he explain it clearly. coincidentally shouted loudly with Zhang Song: "The lord can't, the enemy army is nearly 30,000 horses, the lord please spare yourself." ”
Chen Lin turned around and laughed: "Nawen and Ziqiao, you two need to prepare more meals, so many captives." With a heroic wave of his hand, Huang Yan and Zhou Cang followed behind him, with an indescribable chic and indescribable heroism. Nearly 100 horsemen stood majestically on their horses and shouted: "The lord is mighty. Chen Lin secretly said, it's a pity that the wolf rider is not there. One jumped on the war horse and pointed at Gao Shun Cai Yang and the others who were on standby: "Let's go, blow the horn after the army leaves the city." ”
"Nuo" Gao Shun put Chen Lin on the horse, rode the guards and prepared the army, knowing that Chen Lin was going to play in person again, this is a shame as a general, if it weren't for his incompetence, would he use the lord to go to the battlefield by himself, Gao Shun held his breath, and he was bound to show his style. Cai Yang and the others and a cadre of soldiers had a different idea, infinitely excited, the lord fought side by side with us, and the soldiers who could not see Chen Lin behind the army were also stimulated by the information coming back from the front and were about to scream. At this time, Chen Lin was heard standing upright on his horse with his sword held high, and shouted loudly: "Those who capture Liu Junlang alive will be rewarded with a reward of 10,000 taels, and those who capture the general will be rewarded with a reward of 1,000 taels." ”
"Roar, roar, roar." Three loud roars, what is the concept of ten thousand taels, I don't know, a large part of these people got the fulfillment of Chen Lin's promise for Cai Yang on the day they entered Chengdu, ten taels, which has made these people so happy that they can't find the direction of east and west. Chen Lin's bounty is not like others, for example, if the reward is an ordinary soldier, other places usually send the bounty down layer by layer, and in the end, how much is left in the hands of this soldier who deserves to be rewarded? Chen Lin is not, Chen Lin directly ordered someone to give the bounty to the person concerned in front of the public, and no one wants to be greedy for a penny. How much can the bounty be a big stimulus to these surviving soldiers, only to see them all blushing and looking straight at the city gate, wishing that they were the only ones who rushed out, and everyone else ran behind them, and they couldn't grab their own credit.
On the city wall, Jia Xu said with excitement: "No one can compare to the love of the lord and the sergeant, no." "Chen Lin told him a long time ago that the old lady of the Chen family told him that the mutual use of interests and sincerity will make everyone willing to work for you, don't pity this small reward, this will make you get ten times more than this. Therefore, Chen Lin's soldiers are not afraid of death and bravely do not hesitate to die, even if they die, their families are also treated well, in this turbulent era, what can they ask for, for most of the poor people.
Chen Lin did not have the martial courage of the overlord of Western Chu, but he had the pride of an overlord, and the remnants of less than 3,000 soldiers turned into 2,500 dead soldiers like wolves and tigers in the blink of an eye. Jia Xu looked at Chen Lin, who was still shouting excitedly, and couldn't help but yearn in his heart, this is his lord, Jia Xu secretly glanced at Yang Huai, who was ordered to stay, and saw that Yang Huai was full of admiration. Jia Xu said: "General Yang, the lord ordered you to accept prisoners of war to defend the city, so as not to take the opportunity for the enemy to attack the city, don't slack off." In addition, there is one thing to ask for, and you need to bother the general. "The general ordered the people of the city to follow the people out of the city after the lord left the city, and shouted in unison in the enemy's camp as an army."
Watching Gao Shun and the others go out of the city one by one, the horn also sounded outside the city, probably because Liu Yan had discovered it, and Gao Shun was ordering to attack. Chen Lin waved his hand, nodded at Huang Yan and shouted, "Go." Taking the lead, Zhou Cang followed closely, and rushed over looking at the black cave-like city gate, and rushed over in an instant, and the outside was bright. Gao Shun led his troops neither to attack the headquarters of Liu Yan's army, nor to attack Zhang Ren's army, but went straight to Zhang Wei's department, which was the most chaotic.
Chen Lin saw that Liu Yan's army was on the right side, and saw that Liu Yan's headquarters had rushed out of the army just now, and there might be 10,000 soldiers and horses, so there were at least 10,000 men and horses in the camp. As soon as Chen Lin waved his hand, the hundred cavalry guards did not follow Gao Shun and rushed forward, but went straight to Liu Yan's headquarters along the city wall. The cavalry came and went without a trace, especially in the dark, which was even more frustrating. Chen Lin shouted at Huang Yan beside him: "The purpose of riding the guards is to run back and forth outside the Liuzhou Mu camp, shouting, in order to make the posture of the coming army, so that they dare not leave the camp." "This is Chen Lin's big plan, to harass this army, so as not to run out and increase Gao Shun's pressure.
Gao Shun has no way to annihilate the enemy army now, there are too few soldiers and horses, and Gao Shun's only purpose is to constantly disrupt the enemy's formation, make it chaotic, make a forced landing, and kill the leading generals. This is a typical way to win with less battle and more after a short hand-to-hand encounter, and this time is no exception, only to see Gao Shun and Cai Yang and Yang Ren each take one each, and they scolded the army for running back and forth at a fast speed, but there were not many enemies killed or injured. But at this time, the enemy army was panicked, the enemy army was a bit unexpected, Liu Yan's soldiers and horses were originally here to pursue Zhang Wei, but they were caught off guard by Gao Shun, a little panicked.
Zhang Wei and Gao Pei were about to cry without tears, but they heard chaos from the end of Liu Yan's army, and the sound of shouting and killing, but it was the voice of the Hanzhong army. Zhang Wei and Gao Pei, who were in a desperate situation, were so excited that they drew their sabers and shouted: "The Hanzhong army is a reinforcement, and the Hanzhong army is a reinforcement." At this time, the most junior soldiers in Zhang Wei's army knew what was going on, but in order to survive, after all, Liu Yan's soldiers and horses had been attacking him at this time. Zhang Wei's soldiers and horses suddenly improved a little, and instead of breaking through to the south, they turned around and attacked the north with heavy troops, wanting to turn with the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong, but most of Liu Yan's soldiers and horses suddenly became the target of being flanked, and the army was in turmoil.
War is cruel, fighting in the dark of night can not be the slightest sloppiness and slackness, the cowardly person is the first to die, and the person who is not afraid of death can scare away the grim reaper. Zhang Ren or Liu Fan, especially Liu Fan, I heard that Yang Huai was not in a very good mood after he defected to the enemy, Yang Huai was his own general at the beginning, and later lost Chengdu, which made Liu Fan almost decadent. At this time, Liu Fan was trying to rely on the battle of chasing Zhang Wei to get back some self-confidence, and he didn't want to just join forces with Zhang Ren to form a general trend, seeing that Zhang Wei was about to collapse, but there was a horn sound in the direction of Chengdu, and this voice is no longer unfamiliar to anyone in Shuzhong now. Within a moment, Liu Fan found that except for hundreds of people from his own cronies, others could not command at all, and the generals sent out were sunk into the sea. Not long after, a team of soldiers and horses from Hanzhong suddenly jumped out and greeted Liu Fan a few times, and then disappeared again, where could Liu Fan stand such a fright.
Some people began to surrender, as long as they obediently knelt on the ground and did not move, even if the people of Hanzhong passed by, it would be fine, and these kneeling people were happy. More and more people are learning the same, I don't know how many enemy troops there are, I only know that they are very powerful, they come and go without a shadow, and they are terrible. Liu Yan's junior colonel and other generals rushed out from time to time and saw a group of their own soldiers kneeling on the ground, and they rushed up to shout and scold, whip, and slash with knives, and ordered these people to stand up again. But as soon as the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong appeared, these people couldn't care about any orders from the peak, so they knelt down directly and abandoned their swords.
Zhang Ren calmed down a little and kept shouting: "There are not many soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, don't mess up, don't mess up." I have to say that the thousands of soldiers and horses under Zhang Ren seem much calmer. It was precisely this calmness that Zhang Ren was far away from being withstood by a calmer wolf, Gao Shun. Gao Shun looked at Zhang Ren, who couldn't stop shouting, and had to admit that the number one general in Shu was not covered, and he had some ability. Gao Shun has already begun to gather soldiers and horses, and he must break through Zhang Ren and not let Zhang Ren form a general trend. Suddenly, the Chengdu city gate once again came out with a roaring shout and killing sound, the sound of no less than 5,000 people, as if there were thousands of troops and horses rushing over again. The first one who was shocked was not Zhang Ren, but Gao Shun, there were no soldiers and horses in Chengdu, where did the reinforcements come from, could it be that Yang Huai really rebelled again. Suddenly, Gao Shun remembered Jia Xu and Zhang Song in the city, those two ordinary but sinister faces. Gao Shun smiled, and then ignored him.
As soon as Zhang Ren finished shouting, there were not many soldiers and horses in the enemy army, and such a shout came, which really surprised Zhang Ren. Gao Shun saw the opportunity, ** fell into the camp and rushed straight to Zhang Ren, only a little loosening, so that Gao Shun found out and boldly attacked directly without hesitation. Zhang Ren can't stay, this is Gao Shun's innermost thought, this person will affect tonight's big event, he must be removed, no price.
Zhang Ren was beaten and retreated suddenly, only hearing the name of the camp, only hearing the name of Gao Shun, I saw it tonight, Zhang Ren is also proud, come on, you are powerful, but I have a lot of people, see who dies first, the army of three thousand is like a wild boar that has been rushed by the *, against the fangs to fight back against this evil wolf. The wolf is slightly smaller, but its flexible teeth are also sharp, and the wild boar is constantly bleeding, but the wild boar knows that as long as his fangs can poke the wolf, the wolf will be more than ten times more injured than himself. A wolf and a pig began a life-and-death struggle, not for anything else, but for survival.
Liu Yan, who stayed in the headquarters, made a move at this time to accelerate his defeat, and ordered the army of the headquarters to take the opportunity to attack the city, and it was also Liu Yan's order that made a general begin to justifiably stand among the generals in Hanzhong.
