Chapter 204: The First Battle Settles Chen Zhuang

In June, the sun was poisonous, and the sun was rolling down uncontrollably, and before noon, the sun hung in the sky, and on both sides of the road, the ripe grain was bent down to the pole, and the grasshoppers were as numerous as blades of grass, and in the wheat fields, in the reeds on the shore, making a faint and noisy chirping.

Gao Shun held his forehead, glanced at the scorching sun in the air, felt that the time was ripe, and immediately ordered the army to pull out, Gao Shun sat in the middle army, Zhou Tai protected the left wing, Zhang Xiu protected the right wing, and the 5,000 army slaughtered to Chenjiazhuang.

Chenjiazhuang Wubao is expected to be a tower, there are watchtowers, especially watchtowers, there are six floors so high, standing on the top floor can look at miles away.

On the top floor of the watchtower, two private guards in charge of the guard were sitting on the ground and chattering, they put their bows and crossbows aside, and rolled their trousers up to their knees, revealing their thighs covered with dirt and black hair, no matter how you look at them, they look like peasants who have just finished their work in the fields.

One of the private soldiers ran the train with his mouth full, foaming at the mouth and telling his glorious deeds, which wine shop in the west county town was delicious, and which song and dance workshop had the most watery prostitute.

At this time, he was performing the prostitute dancing in the song workshop, with a thick waist, black-haired thighs, and a bearded face, no matter how he looked at it, he felt awkward, but the person who watched it not only felt awkward, but also watched it with relish. And the dancing man also teased the sentinel watching from time to time, and the behavior of the two of them was really excellent for the ages.

Just when the two were talking about the interest, they suddenly saw the smoke and dust billowing on the plain outside Chen Zhuang, waving the flag, frightened the two of them hurriedly knocked on the watchtower, for a while, the guards in the village were in a mess, the drums were endless, Zhuang Ding and the doorman with armor and sword climbed the city wall one after another, the guards on the wall raised their spears to prepare for battle, and the crossbowmen on the watchtower were wound with sharp arrows, in short, one by one were highly nervous.

Today is a good weather for Gao Shun, it is already noon at this time, and the sun is scorching the earth, shining on the armor and equipment of the soldiers on both sides of the enemy.

Gao Shun led his troops to the outside of Chenzhuang, bypassed the front of the manor, drove into the field, and walked diagonally to the west for a distance, and arrived at a place about two miles away from the deep ditch outside the east gate of Zhuang.

Although Chen Zhuang was built very large, but it was relative to the ordinary family manor, compared to Xixian is still much smaller, five thousand soldiers put on a posture, no need to deliberately elongate the formation is enough to surround Chen Zhuang half, soon, under the command and order of the battalion generals, the east and south and north parts of Zhuangzi are surrounded by the state army.

Standing on the wall, watchtower, looking at the orderly formation of the state army, forming a semi-encirclement of the manor, the guards in the village became more and more nervous, the drums beat continuously, a group of soldiers ran out of the houses in the village in a panic, gathered in the open space in the village, and then climbed the wall under the leadership of the Chen clan to strengthen the strength of defense.

Gao Shun Le Ma out of the battle, with Zhang Xiu, Zhou Tai forward half a mile, looking at the village, the first thing that comes into view is the towering watchtower, see that the watchtower floors are full of private soldiers with bows and crossbows, a group of armor soldiers surrounded a richly dressed, full of extravagance of the middle-aged man along the stairs, hurriedly climbed to the top of the watchtower.

Gao Shun raised his whip and pointed: "That's Chen Kan, the head of the Chen family."

At the same time, Chen Kan was also looking down at the outside of the village, and at a glance he saw Gao Shun standing in front of the formation on a horse, because Gao Shun was in the east of Zhuangdong, looking from this direction of Chen Kan, facing the scorching sun, the sun was dazzling, and he couldn't look at it for a long time, he squinted and saw Gao Shun, and then pointed to Gao Shun and said: "The thief general who wears black armor, carries a knife, and rides a Dawan horse is Gao Shun, the general under Lu Bu's tent!" ”

Looking left and right along his fingers, he saw that the person he was referring to was a middle-aged man, not tall, but his face was full of black frost, and he was surrounded by the rest of the Han generals in front of the battle, and immediately a member of the Chen clan responded: "Yes, I have seen him in the government office of Xixian County, this thief must be Gao Shun!" ”

Chen Kan kept banging on the city wall with his fist: "Gao Shun is the most warlike general under Lu Bu's account, and the battle of Tiger Prison Pass made the princes of the Eighteenth Route unable to move forward; The battle of Fengting made Yuan Shu a lost dog; In the battle of Hanyang Bao, he alone led the army to attack the city and pull out the village, connecting the counties of Hanyang, and finally helped LΓΌ Bu capture Hanyang County; He also directly defeated Yang Fu, Wei Kang, and Jiang Xu in the Battle of Tiger Valley, and led 10,000 soldiers and horses to fight Liang Shuang in a decisive battle at Zhu Yuan Mountain some time ago, and Liang Shuang's army was defeated like a decisive mention, with thousands of dead and wounded. Not only that, but he also has an invincible and invincible trap camp, hey, this Chen Zhuang can't hold it! ”

From the moment when Lu Bu returned to Xiangwu, Chen Kan knew that the demise of the Chen family was only in the morning and night, Liang Shuang withdrew from Hanyang, and Chen Kan was not notified at all, and Chen Kan only later learned that Lu Bu had led the army back to Hanyang, when he went to find Liang Shuang to seek refuge, he knew that Liang Shuang had already patted his ass and left, not only that, Liang Shuang also stationed the army in the area of the Western Han River, completely deciding the retreat of the Chen family, in desperation, Chen Kan could only spend a lot of money to hire hundreds of rangers and some outlaws who had committed capital crimes, and his disciples and private soldiers to defend Chen Zhuang.

As soon as Chen Kan's words fell, a sigh immediately sounded around him, and all the Chen clan people present couldn't understand why Chen Kan rebelled against Lu Bu, so that the Chen family fell into a land of no return, and even went to destruction, and immediately began to blame Chen Kan in a low voice.

In the face of the whispered scolding of the clansmen, Chen Kan turned a deaf ear, he also knew the truth that one wrong step was lost, but he was also dumb and couldn't say that he couldn't say that when Liang Shuang found him, he promised a lot of benefits, and Chen Kan was also on a whim at that time, first, he didn't want to see Lu Bu sitting in Hanyang, and secondly, he also wanted to make a career and recreate the glory of his ancestors, but he never expected Liang Shuang to be so poor, and he was a treacherous and cunning person.

The sun rose in the east, and the state army lined up on three sides outside the village, Chen Kan saw Gao Shun beat his horse back into the formation, and soon, the sound of drumming came from the state army.

Chen Kan and the others were nervous, he held on to the edge of the city wall, leaned over and looked into the distance of the Bingzhou army array, and thought to himself: "Isn't it that Gao Shun is going to attack the city?" At that moment, he immediately drank the order: "Pass my order, order the guards on the periphery to prepare for war, and order the crossbowmen on the watchtower to open the crossbow and pull the bow, if the thief attacks the village, ten thousand arrows will be fired!" The left and right answered the order, and several people went to give the order.

The drums of the Bingzhou army were bursting, and after a while, Chen Kan saw the generals and colonels in the Bingzhou army flocking to the Chinese army, which further strengthened Chen Kan's idea that Gao Shun was going to war.

The early summer has been hotter, the top of the watchtower has no shelter shed, the rising sun is unhindered to the sun, Chen Kan wiped a handful of sweat on his forehead, nervously watched Gao Shun's every move from afar, only to see that after the generals and colonels arrived at the Chinese army, they all gathered under Gao Shun's banner, Gao Shun raised the horse, and the big knife pointed at the village and kept saying something, as if a conspiracy was brewing.

The more Chen Kan looked at it, the more frightened he became, since the sun was shining, he was nervous, and he unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Gao Shun attacking, Chen Kan didn't dare to be careless, and still stared at Gao Shun to prevent him from making a surprise attack.

The sun is getting higher and higher, and the watchtower is getting hotter and hotter, Chen Kan is sweating profusely, and he is persuaded to go downstairs first to cool down, he refused, stayed on the watchtower and continued to watch the state army, only to see that at this time, the state army all took out a fist-sized thing from their arms and gnawed there, gnawed one after another, and gnawed several times in a row before stopping, and then they took out the water-like thing from their bags and drank wildly, and after drinking, they poured it on the horse's head, or stuffed it directly into the horse's mouth.

Chen Kan didn't look at it, but he felt dry when he saw it, and he smacked his mouth: "What they ate was a pear"

Chen Kan spoke for a while, and when he saw that no one answered, he immediately turned his head to look, only to see that the clansmen and guests around him were all full of big men, with chapped lips and kept swallowing saliva, obviously thirsty and unable to extricate themselves.

"Pass my order, this may be Gao Shun's strategy to slack off the enemy, order the guards and crossbowmen on the periphery not to relax, and continue to monitor the enemy army, in case they suddenly attack!" Chen Kan looked at the sky, and said: "It's almost three o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Shun won't attack me now, maybe it's just to quench the thirst and hunger of the soldiers!" ”

Left and right got orders, and reluctantly went down to deliver orders.

Chen Kan has been in a stalemate with Gao Shun like this, it seems to be a very long time, and it seems to have passed quickly, Zhuang Ding guarding the city wall is thirsty and hungry, his eyes are full of colorful sunlight, and the cicadas can't stop making irritating cries on the branches, as if they are shouting and cheering for the scorching sun, and the head of Zhuang Ding guarding the city is buzzing.

Finally, some Zhuang Ding couldn't hold on any longer, they only felt that it was dark in front of them, and their bodies fell straight to the ground, while some Zhuang Ding discarded the knives and guns in their hands and ran down the city wall to drink.

Gao Shun Lema stood in the Chinese army, his eyes were fixed on the city wall and there were fewer and fewer people, and he suddenly grinned: "Go to war!" ”
