Chapter 297: The Chief of the Chen Palace
Zhang Liao couldn't understand it, careful recuperation was not his master's style! Actually put the war behind him, which really surprised Zhang Liao, but since the master decided like this, he couldn't force it, after all, Guan Yu's temper he understood, Zhang Liao was very helpless to return to the city defense, and wanted to find Chen Gong to discuss the strategy of defending against the enemy, it seems that this was arranged in advance, Chen Gong should have a way to deal with Ma Teng resourcefully, Zhang Liao thought of this and did not dare to slack off and quickly went to Chen Gong.
On the west city of Chang'an City, there was a busy figure of crowds, and a jade tree stood in the wind on the city, dressed in a plain robe, constantly commanding and dispatching, Zhang Liao fixed his eyes and saw that it was Chen Gongye! Zhang Liao came to the city, and Chen Gong saw Zhang Liao coming, so he said to Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan came just in time!" You already know the information, Ma Teng's army is approaching Chang'an City, our purpose is defense, this is the lord's personal instructions, according to this instruction, we need to close the city gate to strengthen the city fortifications, what you need to do is to be responsible for commanding archers in the city! ”
After Chen Gong finished speaking, Zhang Liao quickly received the order, at this time there was also Chang'an Mu Duan simmering in the city, the general Gao Shun, and Li Yan was responsible for provoking heavy materials to the city under the city, Zhang Liao climbed the city tower and said Chen Gong said: "Since we have chosen active defense, the city gate is a critical place to have to defend, and it is necessary to allocate a guard, if the city gate falls, the consequences are unimaginable!" Since you are acting on behalf of the lord, you should arrange for manpower immediately! ”
"Wen Yuan is right! I immediately ordered General Gao Shun to go and guard the guard! Chen Gong said after hearing this.
Chen Gong then arranged for Gao Shun to go to the city gate, and Gao Shun was ordered to go down to the city.
Chen Gong was in charge of Guan Yu this time, and this was the first time in his life that he independently served as the commander-in-chief of the operation. Previously, he had been assisting Guan Yu in the role of a staff officer, offering advice and advice in front of Guan Yu. He only has the right to suggest but not the right to make decisions, and this time Guan Yu entrusted this matter to him. It is to let him play the role of a decision-maker, on the one hand, it is to experience and experience Chen Gong and give him a stage to give full play; The two are to test Chen Gong to see if he is talking on paper, and to see if he is the kind of nerd who only stays in theory although he has a thousand words on his lips but has no plan in his chest.
Guan Yu's ability to hand over such an important matter to Chen Gong is enough to show his trust and respect for Chen Gong, of course, Guan Yu is also full of confidence in Chen Gong's ability, this Maxima who was excavated by himself followed him on the expedition and was taught by himself. Especially in the military, Chen Gong is well versed in Guan Yu's art of war, and his comprehension is also very fast, the essence of Guan Yu's art of war, Guan Yu found that Chen Gong is indeed a talent through contact, and he is also vigorously cultivated, Guan Yu also has his own profound considerations for cultivating Chen Gong, that is, in the future, Chen Gong can provoke the beam, at least he can be independent. Because in the future, if his territory is getting bigger and bigger, he will need talents to guard it, so he will put this matter on the agenda now, so as not to be blind in the future, this time Guan Yu gave Chen Gong a stage to fully show himself, and of course he was also given great power. Including the power and decision-making power of personnel command, to ensure that he can sing this play well, in addition to this, Guan Yu also equipped Chen Gong with strategists. Who? That is the poisoner Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, let Jia Xu assist Chen Gong. To give advice to Chen Gong, of course, this arrangement is not carried out in public fanfare. Guan Yu granted Chen Gong a military order alone, and even the minimum military meeting was not held, so many generals were surprised, but since they were fully authorized by Guan Yu, the generals had no reason not to obey, as a soldier, it was their duty to obey orders, even if they were a little dissatisfied with Chen Gong, they were only in their hearts, and his orders still had to be carried out.
Jia Xu assisted Chen Gong as his staff officer, Jia Xu had some ideas, but for this more professional military defense, he had very limited room to exert himself, not only that, Jia Xu still had some understanding of Chen Gong's personality, Chen Gong was a very creative person before, very methodical, how could he allow others to serve as his staff officers, at that time, Chen Gong did not buy Jia Xu's arrival, at this time, Chen Gong only wanted to monopolize the power by himself, and he was very strategic, did he still use others to assist? So put Jia Xu aside, Jia Xu is also an understanding person, and he is not deeply greedy, after all, this Chen Gong is no better than Guan Yu, he is annoyed by others if he talks too much, and it is impossible to adopt his opinion, the best way to do it is to keep his mouth shut, as long as he doesn't intervene casually, Chen Gong will not embarrass himself, and this is also something that Chen Gong can't wait for, why not do it?
Although Chen Gong put Jia Xu aside, but he still adopted the opinions of Zhang Liao and others, Zhang Liao has a lot of experience in military affairs as a battlefield general, and Chen Gong generally adopts the suggestions and opinions put forward by this kind of person, of course, the opinions put forward by these people are mostly insightful, Chen Gong can listen to it after analysis and thinks it is reasonable, and soon the fortifications of Chang'an City are established with the help of Chen Gong and the generals.
Ma Teng's army of more than 70,000 pioneers have arrived at the boundary less than 30 miles away from Chang'an City, but there is no movement in the direction of Chang'an, Ma Teng can't help but be a little surprised, thinking what kind of medicine is sold in Guan Yu's kid's gourd, why don't you send troops? Could it be that he really didn't recover? Hum! In this way, the army can drive straight in, Ma Teng then ordered the army to attack in the direction of Chang'an, 70,000 troops soon came to Chang'an City, Ma Teng's army came to Chang'an City, but saw that the entire west of Chang'an City built a strong city fortification, the gate was closed, and there were a few generals on the city, in addition to the soldiers and archers who guarded the guard, but to his surprise, he did not see the shadow of Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, Ma Teng and the generals jumped out of front of the battle, Ma Chao had already impatient, eager to try but saw that the gate of Chang'an was closed, He couldn't help but laugh in his heart: Guan Yu, Guan Yu didn't expect that he would be a shrinking turtle today!
Seeing this, Ma Teng's army quickly understood, it turned out that Chang'an City was actively fortified, Guan Yu didn't seem to be ready to fight, since this was the only way to attack the city, but before the siege, he still decided to spend a lot of words, maybe he was used to it, Ma Teng said: "Guan Yu!" Why don't you come out? Yes? Could it be that you are afraid? The eldest husband is famous, but he didn't expect you to be a coward! Ha Lu Ha Ha Ha Zhi said that I don't dare to come out if Ma Teng is so powerful! ”
"Ma Teng, your cultivation is rampant! Do you think you're amazing? Kind of come to attack the city! Chen Gong said after hearing this.
Ma Teng saw Chen Gong's answer and said disdainfully: "Boy! Who are you? Yes? Where did it come from? How dare you speak so disrespectfully! I see that your milk stinks and is not dry, and you don't have the same knowledge as you, so you should get out of there! It's not your turn to speak here! ”
"Ma Teng! The three eyes of the recognizable Ma Wangye, I am the commander-in-chief of this Chang'an City, and I am here to collect you today! I'll take you to hell for Guan Yu! Chen Gong retorted.
Ma Teng couldn't help but be furious when he heard this: "The vertical bullying is too much!" The army is ready to take the city now! ”
After Ma Teng finished speaking, the army quickly changed its formation, and the front team of people and horses quickly dispersed, and at this moment rushed out of the infinite people from behind, and many of them rushed to Chang'an City with their shields, shouting slogans while rushing, Ma Teng's army launched an active offensive, and the army rushed to Chang'an City like a flood.
Chen Gong in the city saw that Ma Teng's army launched an offensive against Chang'an City, so he ordered the archers who had already arranged the city to release their arrows, and suddenly the arrows on Chang'an City rained down, and the bows and arrows like raindrops flew to Ma Teng's army, and Ma Teng's army continued to attack Chang'an City regardless of the bow and arrows, but at this time he saw that the people and horses who rushed up fell down from time to time, and were shot by the bow and arrow.
Chang'an city after Chen Palace, Zhang Liao's careful arrangement, prepared a strong archer offensive, the number of archers, and the materials of the bow and arrow are also very in place, Zhang Liao commanded the archers to shoot in turn, batch after batch of archers took turns to the city to release arrows, the city was suddenly overwhelmed by the bow and arrows, the charging Ma Teng army could not march in the face of such a dense bow and arrow, was blocked.
Ma Teng saw that the offensive on Chang'an City was too fierce, and the army was difficult to march for a while, so he ordered the army to stand up and advance with shields, and soon the army gathered again and held shields, and continued to attack Chang'an City under the cover of shields.
The shield city wall of this road continued to advance towards Chang'an City, Chen Gong looked at Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao said to Chen Gong: "It seems that we have to withdraw the archers, and prepare to roll the wood and stones!" ”
Chen Gong nodded after hearing this, and then ordered the archers to withdraw, summoning the soldiers to carry the rolling wood and stones to the front, ready to wait for the enemy to approach and attack, and soon a large number of rolling wood and stones appeared on Chang'an City, and the soldiers kept moving, and the shield wall of Ma Teng's army moved forward more unscrupulously without the barrier of bows and arrows, and soon rushed to the city of Chang'an, but although these soldiers rushed to the city, they lacked siege equipment.
This group of men and horses rushed to the city of Chang'an, and immediately dispersed to make a gap, but at this moment they saw the shouting of killing behind the army, and the infinite people and horses rushed over with the ladder, it turned out that these soldiers with shields were opening the way for these soldiers who set up the ladder, and these soldiers carried the ladder to Chang'an City, and at the same time there were many soldiers carrying the stake attack vehicle to attack the city gate and rushed towards the city gate, obviously this was for the city gate, aiming to open the gap at the city gate.
