Chapter 13: Weird

A big battle was about to start with Chen Lin's order, and the six thousand soldiers and horses on the opposite side were lined up, and they saw Gao Shun and others rushing over in three ways. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and one of them said to the other: "Zhengli, the Hanzhong army wants to break the two of us first." The man also laughed when he heard this, and said, "The poor thief has become a chess piece and doesn't know it, look ahead, it's time." The man named Wangyuan nodded in response, and then ordered loudly: "The whole army retreats, and the cavalry covers on both sides." "When everyone thought that these two men were going to give the order to charge or hold on, they actually ordered to retreat, and saw 5,000 foot soldiers slowly moving back, and although the 1,000 soldiers lost their commander, the general who called the righteous salute decisively took over the cavalry and was covering the foot soldiers to slowly retreat.

When Gao Shun and the others saw the enemy retreating, their morale was greatly boosted, and the sergeants all shouted in unison, thinking that they were courageous and cheering, and the pace of the attack became more cheerful. Gao Shun and the three of them are all calm generals, and they retreated first when they saw that the enemy army had not yet made contact, Yang Ren and Zhou Tai all knew that this was extraordinary, no army would retreat without a fight, you must know that the army taking a step back has a great impact on morale, unless there is some conspiracy to ambush or something, otherwise it will not retreat easily. Therefore, the three of them all tried to restrain the soldiers so as not to rush too much, and at the same time, the three of them sent troops back one after another to inquire about Chen Lin.

The movements of the enemy army, Chen Lin and Jia Xu, who were standing on the mountain bag, naturally saw it clearly, and Chen Lin looked at Jia Xu with a puzzled expression. Jia Xu looked at it and asked the sergeant next to him: "Do you know who is the commander of the troops on the other side?" Chen Lin also looked at his soldiers in a blink of an eye, only to see a low-level scribe come over and say: "Lord Yu, the scout reported before that it was two captains under Dong Thief, one named Li Meng and Li Wangyuan, and the other was Wang Fang Wang Zhengli, and the cavalry general who was previously killed by Zhou Sima was called Xu Wei Xu Dongling." Jia Xu muttered: "Li Wangyuan, Wang Zhengli? He raised his head and said to Chen Lin: "My lord, no matter who it is, this matter is strange, I originally wanted to use the army to break through the enemy in front of me, but the enemy army retreated, and I was afraid that it would have no effect. ”

Chen Lin did not hesitate, and immediately ordered: "Huang Hansheng." Huang Zhong was shocked when he heard this, and finally came to the court, Hu Sheng responded: "Yes." Chen Lin looked at the calm middle-aged man in front of him, and for some reason he always had a feeling of peace of mind in his heart, and immediately ordered: "Let Huang Hansheng lead his troops to hold the rear here, cover the retreat of the army, and slowly retreat after the retreat of the army." Huang Zhong once again agreed, and then got on the horse and went back to arrange the team. At the same time, Chen Lin did not take Mingjin as his name, but sent a fast horse to chase after Gao Shun and the three of them with Chen Lin's token, and ordered the three to retreat immediately.

Chen Lin saw the current scene clearly on the mountain bag, and after a while after the three fast horses rushed down, the three Gao Shun divisions only advanced a little more, and then the front army changed to the rear army and the rear army changed to the front army, and they were about to drive back, and the action was not unpleasant. And Li Meng and the other enemy soldiers didn't expect Chen Lin's movements to be so weird for a while, ordinary people would speed up to catch up when they saw the enemy retreating, but Chen Lin ordered to retreat. By the time Li Meng and Wang Fang found out, Gao Shun's three divisions had already returned to the starting position and were still retreating. Wang Fang temporarily commanded the cavalry, and his movements were relatively fast, and he first discovered this point of Chen Lin, and hurriedly ran over to meet Li Meng: "Wangyuan, the Hanzhong army has withdrawn." ”

So if you look at it from the air, you will find that Gao Shun's three armies retreated to the east, while Li Meng's troops ran westward, and a team of 1,200 people in the place where Gao Shun's army passed, stood still, allowing Gao Shun and others to withdraw from their sides, and this army of soldiers and horses was facing the west with guns, and there was no chaos at all. Chen Lin looked at the mountain bag and said to Jia Xu with a smile: "Han Sheng has some skills, only a few months ago, he trained a chaotic rebel army* to look like this, not bad." "This immovable army is Huang Zhong's subordinate after eating the order of the forest, the rebel army that has been following the Hanzhong army in Nanyang, was classified under Huang Zhong's subordinates, and it became like this in a month.

Jia Xu didn't have time to see Huang Zhong's ability at this time, because Jia Xu had been staring at Li Meng's movements, and exclaimed: "Lord, it's not good, Li Wangyuan turned around and caught up." Chen Lin hurriedly looked over, only to see that after Li Meng and Wang Fang saw Gao Shun and the others retreating, they also returned to the army and turned around, and wanted to attack again. Jia Xu: "Lord, quickly send a fast horse, go to check the enemy army in the direction of Zhongmu, I feel that there is fraud, look at Li Wangyuan's actions, it seems that he does not want to fight a decisive battle with our army, but is delaying time, if Li Wangyuan is just waiting for the arrival of Zhongmu's reinforcements, there is no need to retreat, on the contrary, stick to the entanglement with our army, and wait for the Zhongmu army to come, our army will be defeated, because Li Wangyuan and others cannot know the strength of the lord's camp, but Li Wangyuan still did it, there is fraud, lord." ”

Chen Lin thought about it, the scout had said before that the Zhongmu army was only a few miles away from here, and now Gao Shun and Li Meng were more than a few miles away, and the Zhongmu army should have arrived a long time ago, why hadn't it appeared yet, could there be any conspiracy. But the current situation is that Dong Jun is surrounding the Hanzhong Army in the west and in the south, as long as it surrounds it, it is already the best strategy, do you need anything else? But at this time, the enemy in Zhongmu just didn't show up, Chen Lin couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart, and hurriedly ordered people to run south from Xin to spy on intelligence, and at the same time, Gao Shun's three departments also stopped behind Huang Zhong, and now the situation is unclear, Chen Lin didn't dare to let the army run around, who knows what he will face after retreating.

Jia Xu: "My lord, the second general has not returned, nor has he appeared behind the enemy, this matter is strange." Jia Xu didn't say that it was okay, but Chen Lin was even more worried when he said it, Chen Ze is his brother, don't have any accidents. Jia Xu saw Chen Lin's face pale, and hurriedly relieved: "Lord, the second general's subordinates have 1,400 wolf rides, coming and going like the wind, there will be no big problem." Chen Lin felt a little at ease. Jia Xu said that the attribution of the current situation is not wrong at all, you see, after Li Meng and the others caught up with Gao Shun, they saw Gao Shun's army lined up in place, and Li Meng also stopped and held on, just looking at it from a distance, the purpose is self-evident, it is a confrontation. Jia Xu turned back to Chen Lin and said, "My lord, it seems that what Xu said is good, Li Wangyuan's purpose is only to contain our army here. If it is not bad as expected, Zhong Mou originally said that the army that came to our army must not know where to go at this time, it seems that the purpose of Dong Jun is not our Han army. At the beginning, Jia Xu thought that Hu Zhen had abandoned Zhongmu County, and divided into two departments to encircle and suppress Chen Lin and Cao *, first cutting off Sun Jian's protection on both sides, but now it seems that it is not, so what is the purpose of Hu Zhen, Jia Xu is puzzled, it seems that he can only draw conclusions when the scouts can find out the information in the direction of Zhongmu.

Just when Chen Lin and Li Meng were in a stalemate, Jia Xu was waiting for the return of the scouts, but it was not the scouts from the direction of Zhongmu who came, but the messenger who came made Chen Lin and Jia Xu frightened, Chen Zezhong was ambushed and surrounded by 4,000 cavalry five miles to the north. There are still enemy troops in the north, or 4,000 cavalry, which has to surprise Chen Lin, at this time Chen Ze asked for help, Chen Lin couldn't help it. But Jia Xu suddenly said: "My lord, the second general actually ambushed in the north, and the second general's wolf ride out was a temporary decision, that is to say, the second general accidentally ran into this cavalry, indicating that the enemy originally wanted to sneak thousands of cavalry in the north, but unfortunately was bumped into by the second general." And if the enemy army just wants to annihilate our army, there is no need for this cavalry at all, as long as the enemy troops in the direction of Zhongmu surround it, which means that this cavalry is not coming at our army. ”

Chen Lin hurriedly pointed to the map and saw that Jia Xu had already said twice that the purpose of the enemy army was not the Hanzhong army, so what was the purpose of the enemy army, to bypass it? Secretly bypassing Chen Lin's Hanzhong army, it is the Allied camp, can't it, just a few thousand cavalry dare to break through the hundreds of thousands of allied troops? It's impossible, even if you add all the Dong troops in Zhongmu that Jia Xu said, it's only thirty or forty thousand horses, it's impossible. Chen Lin couldn't figure it out and simply didn't want to, the most important thing in front of him was to rescue Chen Ze, the encirclement of four thousand cavalry, I don't know how long Chen Ze can hold out.

Jia Xu: "Lord, trapped in the camp, the enemy army has 4,000 cavalry, only by trapping the camp can it match it, trapping the camp to aid the second general, my Hanzhong army can not be exhausted here, the whole army slowly retreated, the whole army withdrew from the battlefield, can not withdraw to the east of the allied camp, to the south, Zhongmu, converge Sun Taishou to go, so that the second general and Gao Duwei get rid of the enemy army and directly withdraw to the allied camp, and then make plans." ”

So Chen Lin Hanzhong's army moved, all, this time it was the whole army movement, Gao Shun 3,000 fell into the camp regardless of the left and right, and went straight to the north, led by the scouts to rescue Chen Ze. The rest of the other soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, in the opposite direction, to the south, slowly took over and retreated. The so-called alternate retreat is for example, Huang Zhong's troops are arrayed to hold on, and other troops retreat from both sides of Huang Zhong, and then Zhou Tai's troops are lined up behind Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong's army gets up and retreats from Zhou Tai's side, and then there is another column behind Zhou Tai, so back and forth, slowly retreating, which can prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to chase and kill.

Wang Fang and Li Meng got together again, and Wang Fang said: "Wangyuan, has the Hanzhong army divided its troops?" Why is this, but when the army is divided, it is divided, and instead of going back to relieve the camp, it goes to the north and south, and the Allied camp is not on the west? Li Meng thought for a while, and said with a smile: "It shows that the Hanzhong army still doesn't know about the Allied camp, and the reason why the troops are divided into two places, I don't know why, but most of the Hanzhong army is going to Zhongmu, hmph, I don't know how many lives Sun Wentai still has waiting for them at this time." ”

If Chen Lin didn't know what kind of shock he was when he heard this, something really happened to the Allied camp? What happened to Sun Jian? Who knows.
