Chapter 326: Return to Chenliu (12)

Xu Shu looked at the excited people in the camp, and then at Xu Ji, who was still indifferent, and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "Otherwise, you can't catch up with the lord even if you shoot the horse!" Where is this, do you think Chen Gong is that stupid Yuan Shu? If Chen Gong was so easy to deal with, we wouldn't have to make so much effort. There are still many places to discuss in this matter, we do have the capital to deceive Chen Gong to go to Guandu City, and there is one thing that we can already affirm, that is, as soon as Chen Gong's army leaves Chen Liu, Xu Hao's army can occupy Guandu. But the question is what kind of way Chen Gong sent troops to rescue Chen Liu. Don't forget, we still have to catch Chen Gong, Chen has this person left, and it will be a big trouble for us in the end. ”

Then he glanced at Xu Ji, and Xu Shu said in a deep voice: "And I don't want Chen Gong to spoil the lord's big affairs, after all, the fact that the lord is not missing cannot be made public to the world, and the affairs of Chang'an and Yuzhou are far from over." Shi A and Liao Hua naturally didn't understand what Xu Shu meant, they didn't understand what the relationship was between Chen Gong and the truth of Xu Ji's disappearance, let alone what connection there was between Yuzhou and Chang'an, but Xu Ji's heart was shocked: This Xu Shu is a top strategist! I saw through my plan at a glance.

Everyone didn't quite understand what Xu Shu meant, and looked at Xu Shu, who said in a deep voice: "If Yuan Shu learns the news, he will definitely send reinforcements directly to rescue Chen Liu......"

Before Xu Shu finished speaking, Liao Hua on the side slammed his hands and made a loud noise, shouting: "Grandma, if that's the case, we will call him to come and go!" Hum. Xu Hao's kid has an army of 20,000 on the outskirts of Guandu, as long as we cooperate with Xu Hao. On the way from Chen Gong to Chen Liu, there will be a front and back attack to see if he is still dead! The big and small generals in the big tent nodded one after another.

Xu Ji smiled: "It's a pity that Chen Gong won't do this. Don't say that he doesn't know that Xu Hao's army is ambushed around him, just looking at Chen Gong's conservative use of troops, you can know that he has a deep understanding of the way our Yanzhou army uses troops, don't forget that in the past battles, the tactic we most often used was to encircle the point and send reinforcements. It is impossible for Chen Gong not to know this, and it is impossible not to be unguarded, so he asked Chen Gong to directly send troops to rescue Chen Liu, and he didn't even think about it. ”

Everyone heard the news. A nod. Xu Ji made a lot of sense.

Shi A looked at the sand table in front of him, played with it carefully, and his heart moved suddenly, before he was about to speak, but he heard Liao Hua next to him shout out first: "By the way, it must be a plan to save Zhao from Wei Wei!" ”

Shi A's body was shocked, and he couldn't help shouting: "Liao Hua, you are reasonable, and I also have this answer in my heart." Yan Yan pointed to the sand table with his hand and said in a deep voice: "If I am Chen Gong." Since it is already known that the 50,000 horses of Liang Xi's army are here, there must be no troops in Wuchao, Yanjin, Pingqiu and other places on the other side of the river, and in this case, it is necessary to directly rescue Chen Liu. It is not as easy as directly attacking the rear of our army, and the effect of doing so is also the greatest, and once the goal is achieved, it will not only solve Yuan Shu's dilemma, but also further force our troops to withdraw. ”

Liao Hua exclaimed: "Mr. Shi A said it well. It's really close to me! ”

"But," Liao Hua, who was becoming more and more experienced in the battlefield, changed his head. He frowned and said, "Will Chen Gong really do this?" Our army has always given people the feeling of prudence in the use of troops, but now it has revealed such a big hole in the emptiness of the rear. Will Chen Gong believe it? ”

Liao Hua's words frowned, with Chen Gong's caution, he would not fail to take this into account.

Xu Ji looked at Xu Shu, who was confident, and said with a smile: "Yuan Zhi, you don't want to sell Guanzi anymore, do you want them to be unable to sleep tonight?" ”

Xu Shu shook his head and said with a smile: "The lord still knows me." After a pause, Xu Shu said in a deep voice: "Chen Gong is sure to use Wei to save Zhao, but it is not as simple as you think, in my opinion, Chen Gong is most likely to be a two-pronged approach, the army is divided into two ways, one way across the river to tentatively attack my Wuchao's army, and the other army is tentatively rushing to Chen Liu's rescue." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this: Why are the two armies tentative? I only heard Xu Shu say in a deep voice: "For Chen Gong, even if he has received the information that our army has 50,000 people in Chenliu, this person's cautious and cautious temperament will never do his best to cross the river to attack our army's Wuchao, you must know that our army is backed by the river, and you can send troops to cross the river at any time to strengthen the defense of Wuchao." ”

Everyone nodded, Xu Shu said in a deep voice: "Therefore, Chen Gong will definitely send a large number of troops to cross the river to attack Wuchao, if Wuchao is really unguarded, then he will capture Wuchao in one fell swoop, if Wuchao is guarded, then he will continue to harass, so that the Yanzhou army attacking the city outside Chen Liucheng can not concentrate on attacking the city, and finally has to return to the rescue, so as to complete the strategic intention of besieging Wei to save Zhao." Everyone nodded, carefully digesting Xu Shu's words.

Looking at the people who had already understood a little, Xu Shucai said in a deep voice: "Chen Gong's move is indeed clever, in his imagination, the final result of his move is only two possibilities, the first of them, if his attack on the army of Wuchao is properly planned, then we will definitely return to the army to rescue, then the army attacking Chen Liucheng will definitely be reduced, then his other army to rescue Chen Liucheng will no longer be a drop in the bucket, but will have a great impact on the battle situation, and finally relieve Chen Liu; The second possibility is that he encountered a large number of Yanzhou troops in Wuchao, that is, when he didn't know, the Yanzhou army had retreated to some troops in Wuchao, although the attack on Wuchao was blocked, but it also proved that the number of Yanzhou troops outside Chen Liucheng had decreased. The end result is the same as the first possibility. ”

Everyone gasped, they didn't expect that this Chen Palace would have such a choice of the best of both worlds, but they also admired Xu Shu even more, it was really unbelievable that he could calculate all the choices of Chen Palace in advance. Xu Ji was even more admired in his heart: This is the difference between these top strategists and himself, his so-called exhaustive strategy is just a targeted plan for ordinary historical figures, and being able to play with another top strategist like Xu Shu is the real skill!

Xu Shu ignored everyone's admiration for him at all, and concluded: "But Chen Gong is always a chess game. He didn't expect that Xu Hao's army would be on the edge of Guandu City now, as long as he left the city. Guandu City is the situation that our army has in its pocket, so it comes. Chen Gong will be homeless. ”

Looking at the faces of everyone who began to get excited again, Xu Shu said softly: "We will get up tomorrow morning and attack the city, and then order Zangba to lead the army under General Bocai to cross the river to Pingqiu according to the plan, and then rush to Wuchao to cross the river, pretending to be the remaining troops of Liang Xi's army to attack Chen Liu, and then send an army to sneak back to Wuchao after nightfall to prevent Chen Gong's army from landing and attacking Wuchao." ”

Turning his head to look at Xu Ji, he said respectfully: "As for the other army that rescued Chen Liu from the dry road, it will be handed over to the lord to deal with." If I'm not mistaken, the commander of this army is Chen Gong. Wouldn't the lord really want to see him? Xu Ji laughed when he heard this, obviously appreciating Xu Shu very much.

Xu Shu looked at the sand table again and said in a deep voice: "I will pass on the order to Xu Hao, and after he takes advantage of Chen Gong's departure to occupy Guandu City, he will send an army to block the bank of the Guandu River." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the viciousness of this kind: according to Xu Shu's plan, at that time, the troops of the Yanzhou army would appear on both sides of the big river between Guandu and Wuchao at the same time, and they would firmly block both sides of the big river, once this was the case. Then the army sent by Chen Gong to attack Wuchao had no way to dock at all, and unless they found another ferry, they would be trapped on the river in a boat.

With just one sentence, everyone had the idea that they would never be enemies of Xu Shu at any time.

Xu Ji was pleased. It seems that he can really hand over the strategy on the battlefield to the people below, they are really good.

By the time Xu Ji and the others discussed everything in the camp, it was already late at night. But people did not have the slightest sleepiness. After all, it was really exciting to hear such a subtle strategy from Xu Shu.

Xu Shu and Liao Hua rushed back overnight. Start getting busy preparing everything.

Early the next morning, the armies of Liao Hua and Shi A, as well as Xu Ji to the east, began a fierce attack on the defenders of Chen Liucheng. Time. The sound of killing shook the sky and resounded in the sky.

The Yanzhou army besieged the city on three sides, and once again used the divine arm bow to cover and shoot at the head of Chen Liucheng, which made Chen Liu's defenders cry bitterly.

Zhang Xun had no choice but to personally go to the city to command the defense.

The tall wooden shield was once again erected, defending against the bows and arrows outside the city.

Rockets crossed the sky with fiery red trajectories and headed straight for Chen Liucheng.

The battle outside Chen Liucheng was in full swing, and Zang Ba's army, which had been stationed in the distance to the east of Chen Liucheng, received Xu Ji's order and began to assemble by the river.

At the same time, the boats sent by Xu Shu began to dock at the river.

Zang Ba, Guan Hai, and Ji Ling led an army of 26,000 to board the ship, and then set sail and slowly sailed towards Pingqiu on the other side of the river.

At noon, Zang Ba's army had successfully crossed the river and arrived at Pingqiu, and after a slight correction, the three of them led the army to Wuchao.

When Xu Shu greeted the Zangba army, Xu Shu immediately passed the news to Liao Hua, and Liao Hua commanded the army to retreat slowly.

Just when Zhang Xun didn't understand what was going on, Liao Hua's attack began again after lunch, and this time the attack was more fierce than ever.

Zhang Xun didn't understand why this time the Yanzhou army was as excited as if he had taken an aphrodisiac, so he threw down his job in his own mansion and rushed to the city tower, and immediately knew the answer: on the surface of the big river in the distance, huge ships were heading towards Chen Liu!

Looking at the number and size of the ships, Zhang Xun gasped, if these ships were full of people, the people would definitely not be less than 20,000 people. Could it be that the real target of Liang Xi's army is Chen Liu? Could it be that the 2,500-strong Yanzhou army that captured Guandu two days ago was just to keep Chen Gong in Guandu and divide its own defensive forces in Chenliu?

As if to prove Zhang Xun's conjecture, after those Yanzhou ships landed, more than 20,000 people came down from the ships in a steady stream, and they immediately threw themselves into the siege as soon as they got off the ship.

Zhang Xun's mind felt a little dizzy, it seemed that Liang Xi's army was really all here.

Seeing that the army in Yanzhou had not completely surrounded his Chen Liucheng on all sides, Zhang Xun hurriedly sent people out of the city to gallop to Guandu on horseback, of course, to report to Chen Gong.

The scout had just left the city gate, and he rode his horse for a short time, and when he looked back, Chen Liucheng had already been submerged in the sea of people of the Yanzhou army besieging the city......

In this siege, the Yanzhou army did do some real work, but it was still mainly to put pressure on Zhang Xun. Xu Ji, Shi A, Guan Hai, Zang Ba, and Ji Ling did not personally participate in the siege. However, Rao is like this, which also makes Zhang Xun feel unbearable. More than 50,000 Yanzhou soldiers suppressed the head of Chen Liucheng with bows and arrows, how could ordinary people stand it?

Until dusk. The Yanzhou army slowly retreated.

However, Zhang Xun's soldiers seemed to have died like this, especially those soldiers holding huge wooden shields, all of them were shaken, blood flowed for a long time, and those arms had already lost consciousness due to excessive exertion and could not move.

The shields they used were even more exaggerated, and all of them were deeply embedded crossbow arrows. From this, we can imagine how fierce and amazing the power on the bow and crossbow of the Yanzhou army is.

But they were lucky, and there were many soldiers who were a little slack off because of their poor arm strength or a little less will. Immediately, he was shot by a pervasive bow and crossbow, and fell to the ground and died tragically on the spot.

The thing that made Zhang Xun breathe a sigh of relief was that the Yanzhou army did not use rockets this time, if the 50,000 Yanzhou army attacked with rockets together, then Chen Liucheng would really become a sea of fire.

Could it be that the production of such siege weapons is troublesome? The interior of the Yanzhou Army is gone? Zhang Xun tried his best to guess in a good place, and now he can only hope for Chen Gong.

In just this battle, Zhang Xun was completely chilled, and all he could do now was to let his soldiers rest as much as possible, after all. Tomorrow there will be a series of battles that are bound to come.

It's just that Zhang Xun didn't know that he was deceived by the Yanzhou Army again.

According to Xu Shu's strategy, in the middle of the night, the Yanzhou army north of Chen Liu sent out 5,000 archers and crossbowmen. Under the leadership of Liao Hua, he quietly took a boat and crossed back to Wuchao. Xu Ji and Shi A led the two thousand people of Phantom to leave the south and east gates of Chen Liucheng and marched towards Guandu. Ambushed at the road between Guandu and Chenliu. The newly trained 2,500 Shadows remained in Chenliu and continued to assist in the siege.

Unconsciously. Chen Liucheng's besiegers have changed from Liang Xi's army to the Tibetan hegemon's army, and the difference between them is very huge.

On the other hand. Just when it was dark, the scout sent by Zhang Xun had already arrived at Guandu, and hurriedly entered the city to meet Chen Gong, but he didn't have time to drink water and rest, so he carefully explained everything that happened to Chen Liucheng to Chen Gong with a dry mouth, and asked Chen Gong to send reinforcements to support Chen Liu.

Chen Gong was taken aback when he heard the news, he didn't expect that the ultimate goal of the Yanzhou army would be Chen Liu, which was completely different from what he expected, but he couldn't help but believe the fact that there were 50,000 troops outside Chen Liucheng, which was the number of Liang Xi's army.

However, Chen Gong is a wise man after all, and the more he reaches such a moment, the more he can calm down, so that he will not rush to send troops and go straight to Chen Liu.

After some thought, Chen Gong left 3,000 people to defend Guandu, and then divided his 25,000 men into two parts, one part was 15,000 people, Chen Gong ordered them to cross the river at the big river northeast of Guandu City, and directly attack the line of Wuchao, Yanjin, and Pingqiu, while he personally led 10,000 people to rescue Chen Liu from the Han Road, and the two armies marched together.

And this happened to be all in Xu Shu's expectations.

Finally, the Battle of Chenliu reached its final stage.

The moment Chen Gong walked out of Guandu, Chen Liu's fate was decided.

At this time, the sky had just dawned - dawn, the moment of the official transition of light and darkness!

Chen Gong's fleet got on the boat and secretly drove towards the Wuchao on the other side of the river, just landed on the shore, and came to the outside of the Wuchao, how did he know that through the vast fog in the morning, it was not the panicked face of the Yanzhou army that appeared opposite the Chen Gong army, but a ruthless carving of arrows, and the person who was shot turned on his horse.

The army sent by Chen Gong knew that the enemy here had been prepared, so they hurriedly withdrew to the river, got on the big boat, and began to return in panic.

Unbeknownst to them, when they arrived at the riverbank outside Guandu City, they found that they could not get on the bank, because there were countless Yanzhou army archers waiting there. Don't ask, it is the archer in Xu Hao's army!

The big boat was drifting on the river, and the people standing outside the boat were all moving targets, and in desperation, the big boat began to move in the direction of the black nest again.

At this time, the shore of Wuchao was also full of archers, where was there still a foothold for these Chen Palace soldiers?

At this time, Chen Gong heard the shouting and killing from the riverside from a distance, knowing that his army was fighting with the Yanzhou army, and mistakenly thought that the Yanzhou army's forces had been dispersed, and he was ecstatic. The order accelerated forward and set off towards Chenliu.

Therefore. Chen Gong is getting farther and farther away from Guanducheng.

At this time, Xu Hao left 5,000 archers by the river to continue shooting at the enemy boats that were homeless on the river. Then led the remaining 15,000 people to begin to besiege the city on all sides to attack Guandu, Xu Hao personally put on the battle, first ordered the crossbowmen to shoot at the head of the city, after three rounds of crossbow arrows, the head of the city of Guandu could not see the soldiers of Yuan Shu's army.

After all, there are only 3,000 people in Guandu City now, and it is really a bit stretched to defend the city, let alone encounter such a powerful army as the Yanzhou Army? With only a burst of strong crossbows, those soldiers of Yuan Shu did not dare to show their heads.

With the strong support of the strong crossbowman, Xu Hao took the moment. With a charge of soldiers, Guandu was attacked.

And those soldiers in the city have long been frightened by the number, equipment and bravery of the Yanzhou army in front of them, where can they afford the idea of resisting? One by one, they obediently squatted on the ground and surrendered to the Yanzhou army.

Of course, Chen Gong, who had lost Guandu, could not know these things, and even if he did, he was powerless to care.

Because he was in the middle of a battle with the Yanzhou army.

Although Chen Gong had already expected that the Yanzhou army might ambush him in the middle of the road, he did not expect that he was very unlucky to run into the ghost.

It was another dense forest, and as soon as the two thousand phantoms appeared, they took out their repeaters, and with a burst of fire, they put down more than seven hundred people.

Chen Gong calmly commanded his archers to shoot at him.

Unfortunately, before the archers could take their bows and arrows, the shadows had already rushed up. The distance between the two armies was too close.

At medium and close ranges. This new type of repeater is simply unmatched.

Chen Gong watched his soldiers fall in a pool of blood one by one, and he only felt bitter in his mouth.

At this moment, a particularly majestic young man appeared in front of him, and the long sword in his hand flashed with lightning. It was like a dragon walking, and wherever it passed, Yuan Shu's soldiers fell down one by one......

He's a Grim Reaper!

Chen Gongna still doesn't know who this is?

Shia, it must be Shia!

However, Chen Gong did not want to admit defeat. His composure stabilized the somewhat chaotic army.

Seeing that the armies of the two sides collided like two tides. And the magical crossbow in the hands of the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army no longer has crossbow arrows. Chen Gong was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly ordered his infantry to step forward and kill.

Yuan Shu soldiers flocked to it. The shadow did not panic, skillfully threw the repeater in his hand into the bag behind his back, then pulled out the horse chopping knife he carried with him, and met it without fear.

Groups of shadows, whistling with weapons in their hands, attacked Chen Gong's soldiers like artists splashing ink according to a unique rhythm.

The angle of the slashing knife is tricky, and it is effortless to wield, which can be said to be a good solution, nothing more than that.

Chen Gong looked at everything in front of him a little distractedly.

The soldiers around him desperately blocked the phantoms who sacrificed their lives to attack the Chen Palace like tigers descending from the mountain. They fell to the ground in blood.

Capture the thief and capture the king! That's where the leanness of decapitation comes in.

At this moment, there was a shout of killing behind him, and when Chen Gong turned his head and looked in shock, he saw smoke and dust rolling up, and saw a large army moving quickly towards his side. Look at the dust, there are 10,000 people in the opposite room.

The flying banner waved two big words in the wind: "Yanzhou"!

"Impossible!" Chen Gong couldn't help but cry out, how could there be such a large force of Yanzhou troops in Chen Liu's territory?

"Mr. Chen Gong," a calm and powerful beautiful male voice came, Chen Gong didn't expect someone to appear quietly beside him, and turned his head in shock, and saw Shi A, who was like a god with a sword, standing in front of him.

Behind Shi Ah were five of Chen Gong's own soldiers who had just tried to stop Shi A's actions, and they were standing like puppets.

Chen Gongzheng felt strange, but saw that the necks of those soldiers invariably spewed blood mist, and then the weapon fell to the ground, and his body fell to the ground heavily, stirring up countless smoke and dust.

This is certainly Shia's masterpiece.

But there was not a trace of blood on Shi A's long sword.

Once Chen Gong's eyes met Shi A's, he found that he could no longer think of moving a single inch, and in Shi A's eyes, there seemed to be infinite magic. At this moment, Chen Gong knew that although he did not have the slightest physical contact with the other party, he could not escape.

"Doesn't Mr. Chen Gong really want to see me?" Shi Ah said indifferently.

Chen Gong felt a chill rise from the depths of his heart: he really wanted to see Shi A, but he would never meet Shi A in this situation.

He wanted Shi Ah to be a prisoner, not to be Shi A's prisoner himself.

And the most chilling thing for Chen Gong is, how did Shi A know that he was going to arrest him? Is there a mole around him?

Looking at Chen Gong's chaotic eyes, Shi A said indifferently: "Mr. Chen Gong, don't think too much, the matter you want to arrest is guessed by my family's military advisor Xu Shu Xu Yuan, and it has nothing to do with others." ”

"Xu Shu?" Chen Gong asked in disbelief, he had never even heard of this person. What is the origin of this person? You can see through your own intentions!

While he was talking, the army led by Chen Gong was already in complete chaos.

Xu Hao's army and Phantom are far above Yuan Shu's army in terms of training and equipment, from fighting skills and overall coordination, from physical fitness to military morale, how can such a battle be fought?

After a short time, these Yuan Shu's soldiers knelt on the ground and begged for surrender. The battle was over after only a few moments.

"Humph! Are you Chen Gong? A rough male voice came, and when Chen Gong turned his head to look, it was Xu Hao.

Xu Hao didn't even glance at Chen Gong out of the corner of his eyes, and said to Shi Agong: "Mr. Shi A, the boy Xu Hao has seen Mr. ”

When Chen Gong heard Xu Hao's name, his heart jumped, and he couldn't control himself at all and said, "You are Xu Hao?" When did you cross the river?! How did I not know?! ”

Xu Hao laughed, and then his voice turned cold and said, "Chen Gong, which of your various schemes can hide from my military advisor?" Let me tell you, when Guandu was lost for the first time, my 20,000-strong army had successfully crossed the river! ”

Chen Gong's face immediately turned pale, with his wisdom, how could he not understand what was going on? It took him a long time before he spoke with difficulty: "I see, the 20,000 horses of Liang Xi's army were close at hand, but it's ridiculous that I didn't even know it...... It's just that I don't know what happened to the 50,000 troops outside the city? ”

Shi A said indifferently: "The army that arrived later was the 26,000 people of the Bocai army led by General Zang Ba. ”

When Chen Gong heard this, his face changed several times, and he finally sighed and said, "In the end, your skills are superior, and Chen Gong is served." ”

At this moment, Xu Ji, who was dressed in military uniform, riding a white horse and holding a spear, had already floated to the front of Chen Gong, looking at the dejected Chen Gong, Xu Ji's heart swelled with joy and pride, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen Gong, hello." ”

Chen Gong raised his head weakly, glanced at Xu Ji, and was about to lower his head, but his body shook violently, and he looked at Xu Ji again in disbelief, his eyes were shining.

Obviously, this top wise man with a little slow reflexes already knew who the person with the white horse and silver spear in front of him was.

As a result, all the questions for more than a month have finally been answered.

In an instant, Chen Gong figured everything out.

However, Chen Gong immediately smiled bitterly: What is the point of all this?

Xu Ji looked at Chen Gong with a smile, knowing in his heart: When Chen Gong arrived, Chen Liu was already in his bag.

As for Zhang Xun, is this kind of wine bag and rice bag still a problem? (To be continued......)
