Chapter 138: Attack and Defense

The agreement stipulates that Yuan Shu will begin to withdraw his troops from now on, and he will not be able to crusade against Xuzhou for half a year.

This unanimous agreement has no binding power on the two of them. Chen Gong couldn't be clearer about this. However, the only thing that made Chen Gong feel relieved was that he was finally able to withdraw his troops with peace of mind. After all, without Yuan Shu's restraint, he could retreat safely.

When the battle of Xuzhou had no result, Yuan Shu categorically would not attack him. Because he needs to use Guò himself to consume Cao Cao's strength, after all, Cao Cao's strength is strong, and all the soldiers under his command are extremely brave, so that people dare not face his soldiers lightly.

Back at the camp, Chen Gong let out a long sigh. Although Chen Gong felt disdainful of Yuan Shu, after all, he was also alone in the enemy camp. Although in Yuan Shu's camp, he was very calm and calm, but when he returned to his camp, the strings that had been tight were released.

Chen Gong approached Lü Bu and handed Lü Bu the armistice agreement he had signed with Yuan Shu. After Lu Bu saw it, he was naturally overjoyed. As for Chen Gong's expression, Lu Bu was also very satisfied. After all, breaking into the enemy's base camp alone is not something that ordinary people can do.

Next, Lu Bu began to prepare for the withdrawal of troops. Now the battle of Xuzhou is imminent. Cao Cao's soldiers divided into two routes and attacked Xuzhou City. One route was led by Cao Cao himself, and now this army has been overwhelmed, and in just a short time, it has swallowed up the land of one of its own counties.

On the other hand, the 40,000 army led by Du Chen was frustrated in Pengcheng and was blocked by Zhang Liao outside the city and could not advance.

In this regard, Chen Gong did not feel the slightest surprise. Although Du Chen is resourceful and fruitful. But Zhang Liao is not in vain. He was able to be the No. 1 military general under Lu Bu's command, and naturally had the ability and wisdom above ordinary people.

Although Zhang Liao's reputation is not prominent, his strength is beyond doubt. And that's exactly what happened. Only then did Chen Gong put Zhang Liao in the most dangerous place, because he knew that in terms of Zhang Liao's ability, it must be more than enough for him to defend Pengcheng, after all, strength determines a qiē.

However, even though Zhang Liao is highly capable. But his opponent is Du Chen, a very feared figure. Chen Gong still knows a little about Du Chen, he seems to have appeared out of thin air, mysterious and abnormal.

He is only eight years old, and now Cao Jun is so strong, he has a very important relationship with this person. As long as he led the troops to fight, Cao's army did not have any defeats. He is like the god of war, leading Cao Jun to victory and victory.

Such a terrifying person. Even if Zhang Liao can't hold out, there is also a danger of being taken from the city. After all, no one knows what conspiracy is brewing in Du Chen's head, and this conspiracy alone may make a city change hands. Just when Chen Gong was worried about the war in Pengcheng, Zhang Liao in Pengcheng. It's also a big deal about it. Because he doesn't know, Du Chen's gourd. What kind of medicine is being sold?

After Du Chen led the army to Pengcheng, he had no intention of attacking the city. He only surrounded the four city gates, and did not attack Pengcheng for several days.

Zhang Liao didn't understand this point, because he didn't know what Du Chen's purpose was. And since I don't know the purpose of Du Chen. Zhang Liao naturally did not dare to act rashly. Of course, Du Chen's failure to attack the city also made Zhang Liao feel somewhat relieved, after all, his purpose was to hold on to Pengcheng.

Just when the soldiers in the city had the same idea as Zhang Liao, a drum suddenly broke out in the Cao army's barracks. Zhang Liao, who was suddenly frightened, and the guards in the city were clever. When Zhang Liao ran to the city wall in a panic, he found that Cao's army did not have any signs of siege at all.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao's heart couldn't help but sink. He seemed to already know what Du Chen's purpose was.

But even if Zhang Liao knew, he didn't know how to crack Du Chen's move. The Art of War: The real is virtual, and the real is virtual. Du Chen's purpose was to use this to consume the defenders in the city and make them tired and tired.

However, if you really follow this understanding, it can be dangerous. After all, no one knows whether Du Chen's every attack is true or not. If Cao's army really attacked the city, but he thought it was a feint, then he might lose the battle and not have any ability to turn over.

Faced with this almost insoluble situation, Zhang Liao was really at a loss. And since this day, Cao Jun has not had such a thing happening. Moreover, such a thing is not just happening at one city gate, but at all four city gates.

Under the harassment of Cao's army, many of the defenders of Pengcheng were a little tired. After all, they defend the city and belong to passivity. They can only defend passively, which restricts their movements. And in order to make the defenders in the city always worry, Du Chen also mixed these real sieges with many feints.

Because of these real sieges, all the defenders did not dare to slack off Du Chen's every attack. Each time, they attacked as if Cao Jun was real, but every time, they were disappointed. Because, nine times out of ten, Du Chen made a feint.

In the face of Cao Jun's attack, the most headache should belong to Zhang Liao. For such a headache, Zhang Liao really didn't know how to change it. The attack of the Cao army has exhausted the soldiers defending the city, and the current Pengcheng defenders are all a little top-heavy.

In Du Chen's camp outside the city, Du Chen was talking with the soldiers of Cao Jun. The results in the past few days have been very good, and under their own attacks, the defenders in the city have obviously lost a lot of energy.

Of course, Du Chen's attack on Pengcheng was only the first step in the whole plan, in addition to making Pengcheng's soldiers tired, Du Chen also used this to explore the weak strength of Pengcheng's garrison. After he found out the whole Pengcheng, the next thing was much simpler. Another point is also very important, under the leadership of Du Chen, the moat outside Pengcheng City was also filled by Du Chen.

The days passed day by day, and for the guards of Pengcheng, this day was like a year. The Cao army outside the city is really hateful, and because of their existence, they have been living in fear.

And what Du Chen wanted was gradually mastered and matured, and at this time Du Chen knew that he had been trapped in Pengcheng for a long time, and it was time to take Pengcheng next.

Knock knock~~ There was another rapid drum sound, and the defenders on the wall of Pengcheng didn't know how many times they had heard such drums. From the initial fear to the current habituality, Pengcheng's soldiers have entered a stage of numbness.

But this time the drum sound was different than before, and when the Cao army attacked all over the mountains, the defenders of Pengcheng found that this time the Cao army looked different than before. This time, all the soldiers of the Cao army seemed to be dying, and they were surging towards Pengcheng frantically.

In the rear, looking at the soldiers who were fighting bloodily on the front line, Du Chen's heart could not be calm for a long time. Whether the war is right or wrong, in this battlefield filled with gunpowder, who is the righteous side, you are for your justice, I am for my justice, we are all ordinary people who have been caught in the whirlpool of revenge in the name of justice. However, if revenge is in the name of justice, then such justice will breed new revenge, and when will it be time for retribution. And at the moment, we are just living in such a whirlpool, understanding the past and predicting the future. All of this qiē is part of history.

Such a thought kept tumbling and tumbling in Du Chen's mind.

Whatever it was for, the war was about exchanging the lives of the soldiers. Without the sacrifice of the soldiers under his command, pacifying the world is just empty words.

But now is not the time for a woman's kindness, Du Chen hurriedly shook his head, and then continued to stare at the frontline battlefield. After all, the changes on the battlefield are only in a blink of an eye, and what he has to do now is a lot, and he doesn't have so much time to sigh.

Because the guards on the city wall reacted half a beat slower, this made the already brave and unusually brave Cao Jun even more like a fish in water. In addition, due to the interference of the Cao army on the Pengcheng garrison in these days, the Cao army was even more overwhelmed.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Du Chen nodded with satisfaction. What I have done these days is not useless, and today's battle shows how much of a role the foreshadowing of the previous days has played. As the saying goes, sharpening knives is not wrong for woodcutters, and it is a very real portrayal in front of you. (To be continued......)
