ps: It takes a lot of motivation to write a book, I've been Kavinka for a day, I'm sorry here, I finally know why I will be a eunuch, just because I'm too tired.

Xixian is the northernmost county of Hanyang County, only a hundred miles away from Wudu County, whether it is attacking Wudu from Hanyang, or attacking Hanyang from Wudu, Xixian is a transit point for the supply of the army, which is of great strategic significance.

After receiving Lu Bu's reply, Gao Shun quickly summoned Zhang Xiu and Zhou Tai, who came to support, to discuss, and after a heated discussion, the three decided to send troops two days later to recover Xixian and exterminate the Chen family.

Two days later, the army traveled all the way, and finally arrived outside the city of Xixian at ten o'clock in the afternoon of the third day, Gao Shun did not rush to attack the city, but led the army to bypass the west county, towards the fortress built by the Chen family.

Crossing the West County, less than two miles, is the station of the Chen family in the West County, stopping on the hill, far away to see a very wide, tall and strong Zhuangzi towering in the wilderness, this is the station of the Chen family, but also the Chen family to dominate the side of the dependence.

Gao Shun and other stationed in Ma Shan Gang, looking at the Zhuangzi on the field, not so much a manor, but a dock fort, surrounded by high walls and thick walls, surrounded by deep ditches, there is a sentry shed in front, the village wall is very wide, there are private soldiers guarding with spears and halberds, the corner of the wall is expected to be a building, a towering watchtower in the village, from the bottom to the top layer by layer convergence, the lower width of the upper house, almost five or six floors, several zhang high, there are warriors on each floor of the building, overlooking the outside of the village, far away from the can not see clearly, but you can vaguely see that they seem to have something in their hands, it should be a bow and crossbow and the like.

Gao Shun raised his whip and said: "This Chen family is really extraordinary, this dock fort covers a large area, deep ditches and high bases, heavy houses, strong barriers, built around mountains on both sides, it is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack!" ”

Zhang Xiu nodded in agreement, and said: "Looking at the ditch wall, the color is still very fresh, it should have just been repaired" and looked into the distance for a moment, and then said: "Look at the size of this manor, it can accommodate more than 1,000 people, if it is to store grain, grass and grain, it is enough for 1,000 people to eat for a year or two!" ”

Zhou Tai smiled: "Thousands of people, refuse to defend according to the danger, two years of food, according to Peping, this Chen family wants to last with our army"

"Let's take a closer look," Gao Shun beat his horse forward and galloped into the grassland.

The road to Chen's house is very rugged, very narrow, and bumpy, and the official road can not be compared, the horses gallop on it, the smoke and dust are flying, it is very bumpy, the road is lined with mulberry trees, sparsely pulled, and outside the trees are fields.

Perhaps knowing that after Liang Shuang retreated back to Wudu, he knew that Lu Bu's army would arrive in the near future, so the Chen family summoned all the Zhuang Ding of the clan back to the dock fort, so the fields were empty, only patches of wheat.

Gao Shun looked around while galloping, and thought to himself in his heart: "This road is narrow, there is wheat in the fields, and the manor is high, there are deep ditches outside, and the barriers are strong, this battle cannot be fought hard!" ”

Gao Shun has simulated the battle in his heart, the enemy army is in a high base, the sharp arrows are wound, and below is a rugged wilderness, the terrain is undulating by the waves, the war horses are constantly trapped, the cavalry is constantly falling, and the rain of arrows is constantly shooting, such losses are immeasurable.

Gao Shun Dan Whenever he leads the troops to fight, he will look at the problem from the perspective of the enemy army in advance, whether it is defense or capture, he will think clearly, at this time on the periphery of Chenzhuang, the road is narrow, the field has wheat, which is not conducive to the attack of the large army, and there are deep ditches outside the village, the wall is high, and there are crossbowmen on the pillbox, which greatly increases the difficulty of the strong attack.

Zhang Xiu seemed to have thought of this, frowned and said, "General, the terrain outside this village is not good for our army."

Gao Shun nodded, and then rode his horse back and forth in the field for a while, and then ran back to Zhang Xiu and them: "The Chen family dug a lot of ditches in the field, and almost tripped my war horse just now!" ”

The presence of wheat in the fields was already not conducive to moving forward, and the fact that there were gaps in the ditches made it even more difficult to launch a large-scale attack.

Zhang Xiu looked at Zhuangzi in the distance, and said thoughtfully: "The Chen family is very well prepared, General Youping, it seems that you are right, they just want to resist our army here!" ”

Zhou Tai hurriedly looked at Gao Shun and asked, "Peping, what should I do then?" ”

Gao Shun saw that it was not too far from Zhuangzi, Le Ma stopped, watched from afar, at this time the distance was closer, it was already clear to see, the private soldiers on the wall were wearing armor and sharp, the warriors on the watchtower were indeed holding bows and crossbows, the guards in Zhuangzi had already discovered Gao Shun and his party, the armor was like a great enemy, the warriors were waiting for the crossbow with crossbows, and the drums on the watchtower and the watchtower beat the war drums in a panic, and the village was in a mess.

One may be a descendant of the Chen family who put on armor and climbed the city wall, with his hands on the battlements, looking this way.

Gao Shun looked at it for a long time, turned his head and said: "Just like Bo Fang just said, this Zhuangzi is not small, enough to accommodate thousands of people, looking at the number of guards on its city walls and watchtowers, the enemy army in the village is not a thousand people but also eight hundred, but this courage is also a little smaller!" ”

Zhou Tailang smiled: "Isn't it?" Seeing that we were coming, they only beat the drum to warn, but no one dared to leave the village, they were indeed as cowardly as mice! ”

Gao Shun and his entourage plus their own soldiers only have a hundred horses, this is going to change Gao Shun to guard in the village, he has already sent a large army to press up, and at this moment Chen Zhuang although the drums are rumbling, gongs and drums are noisy, but no one dares to come out to meet the enemy, the people of the Chen family are either too cautious, or too timid.

Since no one dared to come out in the village, Gao Shun was not in a hurry to go back, so he rode on a horse, stood in the middle of the road, carefully watched the garrison measures in the village, watched for a long time, saw that there were more and more Chen family members on the city wall, and knew that it was time to go back, and asked Zhou Tai and Zhang Xiu with a smile: "Youping, Bojin, can there be a way to break the enemy?" ”

Zhou Tai and Zhang Xiu glanced at each other, and Zhou Tai scratched his head: "Peping, if you ask me to attack the city, then I am unequivocal, if you ask me to give advice, I can't think of it even if I think about it for ten years!" ”

"Bojin, what about you?"

Zhang Xiu pondered for a moment, caught a glimpse of the smile on the corner of Gao Shun's mouth, suddenly realized, and grinned: "Since the general has already thought of a strategy to break the enemy, he still ridiculed me and General Youping for what to do." ”

Gao Shun laughed, but refused to say it, he beat his horse and changed careers, left Zhuangzi with everyone, and returned to the army camp along the way.

Gao Shun originally wanted to attack Chen Zhuang today, but because he had just watched Chen Zhuang's defense, he already had a plan to attack Zhuang in his heart, in order to better realize this strategy, he changed his attention at the moment, he stationed in Ma Shan Gang, looked up at the sky, and saw that it was already sunset at this time, and secretly thought to himself in his heart: "The lord fought all the way from Luoyang to Longxi, 100,000 soldiers and horses, and now there are less than 60,000 left, and he must win the greatest result with the smallest loss no matter what, so as to be worthy of the living soldiers of Bingzhou!" ”
