Chapter Seventy-Five: Soldiers Don't Tire of Deceit

The rebels had just returned from a fiasco, but they were going to attack the Xian clan again, and everyone was confused, and some people couldn't help but ask, "Why do you want to go again?" ”

Chen Nian looked at the man and asked him, "Do you think we shouldn't go again?" ”

The man was quite bold and said bluntly, "Yes." ”

Chen Nian smiled and said, "It is expected that the Xian people also think like you." The Xian clan has just defeated our army, and they will definitely think that we are cowardly and afraid of war, and we can only flee for our lives from afar, where will we dare to turn around and attack them. Since he thinks so, his guard will inevitably be relaxed, so let's do the opposite and catch him off guard. ”

Only then did everyone come to their senses, and they agreed in unison, and each went down to prepare. Wen Daya and Silly Da and others had the opportunity to surround Chen Nian, Wen Daya still couldn't believe that Chen Nian was really here until this moment, kept rubbing his eyes, and said to Silly Da: "You slap me and see if I'm dreaming." ”

Silly raised the fan-like slap and slapped it over, and the slap almost knocked Wen Daya to the ground, but Wen Daya was not annoyed, but smiled and said, "It's not a dream, it's really not a dream." ”

As he said this, his eyes couldn't stop reddening.

Chen Nian was happy to see them again, stretched out his fist and smashed a punch on Wen Daya and Silly Daya's shoulder, then turned to look at the sparrow, reached out and cut her wrist vein, and saw that she had no internal injuries, so he was relieved, and took out the gold sore medicine from his arms, and said, "Go, find a place, I'll bandage the wound for you." ”

The two women found a no-man's land, and Chen Nian wrapped the injured arm of the spirit sparrow carefully, and said, "Let's do this first, and then go back and ask the Taoist chief for some medicine to remove scars, and rub it." ”

The sparrow remained silent for a long time, and then suddenly asked in a low voice, "Great boss, you don't want to get involved in these things, do you?" ”

Chen Nian was slightly stunned when he heard this, and after a while, he bent his lips and smiled, carefully put the cuffs down the sparrow, and said softly: "It's one thing to think about it or not, but it's another thing to do it or not." After decades of life, where can everything go smoothly and everything goes smoothly. ”

The sparrow hesitated for a moment, and wanted to say more, but Chen Nian didn't want to intercept her words, and only said: "Don't think about it, if I don't want to, no one can force me." Now that I have come, I will not fail your trust. Hello take a break, there will be a bad battle to fight in a while. ”

Soon, the teams were ready to go. Chen Nian took the spirit sparrow over to give Fang Xun and several other leaders a salute, which was regarded as making amends, and then covered his face with a black scarf in front of everyone, jokingly: "This time, everyone has to look carefully, and you won't be able to tell which one is the real Xie Chennian later." ”

She is beautiful, she is easy to win people's favor, and her temperament is so hearty and generous, which makes people happy. Everyone laughed when they heard this, but they left all the previous unhappiness behind. After everyone laughed, Chen Nian solemnized his face, and said: "This battle will determine the life and death of my righteous army, I hope that all the kings will throw away the old gaps, work together, bravely kill the enemy, and raise the prestige of our army!" ”

Everyone agreed in unison, and the sound shook the valley. Chen Nian rode his horse first, led the rebel army to attack quickly, and counterattacked towards the grain and grass camp of the Xian reinforcements. The Xian clan's men and horses were newly victorious, and their defenses were really lax, and Chen Nian suddenly led the army to kill back, killing them by surprise, and a fire burned all the grain and grass baggage.

The flames rose into the sky, and they could be seen dozens of miles away. Wen Daya was so distressed that he stomped his feet and sighed, "Oops, why is it all burning?" It's good that we want a lot of things! ”

Chen Nian smiled and said, "What do you want these things to do?" What we want is Zhongshan City. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Fang Xun couldn't help but ask: "Master Xie, are we going to attack Zhongshan City?" ”

Chen Nian nodded and said, "The Xian Clan's reinforcements will arrive soon, don't delay, hurry up and peel off some Xian's military clothes and equipment, we have to retreat quickly." ”

Although everyone didn't know what she wanted these Xian military clothes for, they acted according to her words, grabbed a lot of Xian military clothes and scimitars and other things, and captured a few Xian soldiers alive in Chen Nian, and then quickly retreated to the mountains with the righteous army. After the rebels retreated to safety, Chen Nian ordered people to camp and rest, and instructed Wen Daya to find someone who could speak Xian's dialect among the rebels.

Because Jizhou is Xuanzhou to the north, there are many Xian merchants, and there are a few people in the righteous army who know some Xian dialect, Wen Daya didn't use a moment of effort, so he picked two of the best ones for Chen Nian, and shouted: "Big boss, someone has found it for you." ”

Chen Nian glanced at the two of them and ordered: "You have to take someone to separate these Xian soldiers for trial, and ask the names of the Xian reinforcement generals, their official positions, who the vanguard generals are, how old they are, what they look like, and how many people and horses they have brought." ”

The two men hurriedly took the order, and after a while, they asked all these things. Although some Xian soldiers refused to tell the truth, because several people were asked separately, and then a pair of confessions, they could also get the truth.

Although Fang Xun is a thorn, his brain is also more flexible than others, seeing Chen Nian acting like this, he vaguely guessed a little bit of her intentions, and couldn't help asking: "Master Xie, do you want to pretend to be the soldiers and horses of the Xian clan to infiltrate Zhongshan City?" ”

Chen Nian smiled unconsciously, nodded and said, "Exactly, the Xian Clan's reinforcements have lost their grain and grass, so they can only retreat to Zhongshan City." What we have to do is to enter Zhongshan City before they do, so that they have nowhere to go. ”

Fang Xun pondered for a while, and muttered: "This idea is not bad, but there are already four or five thousand defenders in the city, which is not much less than our current men, even if you can pretend to be Xian's reinforcements and sneak into the city, I am afraid that I will not be able to take the city for a while." Moreover, the Xian people still have 20,000 reinforcements coming later, and we can't hold the city if we take it! ”

All these things have been carefully considered, and seeing that everyone is puzzled, they have to explain: "It is not easy to rely on us alone, so we need to borrow someone else's name." Jizhou Xue Shengxian is a coward, he doesn't even dare to fight against the Xian family, his name is useless. However, although Qingzhou was defeated by the Xian clan at the Ziya River, it was a small battle and more battles, and although the defeat was still glorious, we have to borrow the name of the Qingzhou Army......"

She told everyone in detail about her intentions, and everyone suddenly realized, only sighed at the clever plan, and Fang Xun even threw himself to the ground for Chen Nian's admiration, and said: "I am not satisfied with you to say that I only heard the prestige of Xie Da in the past, and it was still exaggerated by people's words, but now when I see it, I know that Xie Da is worthy of his name, and he is indeed a heroine." ”

Chen Nian was praised by him like this, but his face was calm, and he just smiled: "No matter what hero, if I am the only one, even if I have three heads and six arms, I can't beat the thousands of troops and horses of the Xian clan." can win the battle, it is all because the brothers sacrifice their lives to kill the enemy. A peerless general once said that he doesn't need heroes, as long as there is not a single bear in his army, then he can be invincible! ”

Chen Nian stood up and asked everyone in a loud voice, "Let me ask you, who among you is a bear?" ”

There was silence for a while, and then all the soldiers of the Righteous Army shouted in unison: "No! ”

Chen Nian's eyes were shining, his spirit was bright, and he shouted: "Then our righteous army will be invincible!" ”

She poured internal force into her voice, and exploded in everyone's ears like thunder, which shocked people's blood boiling, Wen Daya was the first to react, raising her arms and shouting: "Victory!" Win! ”

"Victory! Victory......" Everyone responded in unison, and the sound soared into the sky, as if the whole valley was shaken.

On the second day, Chen Nian led people to pretend to attack the city, but he arranged hundreds of martial arts masters, pretending to be the vanguard of the Xian family's reinforcements, went around half a circle, and rushed over from behind the rebel army. The rebel army formation was immediately dispersed, and many people were heard shouting: "Run, Xian's reinforcements are coming!" ”

As soon as they shouted like this, the defenders of the city also believed the truth, and saw that the cavalry were all dressed as their own people, and when they came to the city, they also shouted in Xian's language, and hurriedly opened the city gate and let them into the city. I didn't want the city gate to open, but it was a big deal, and those "Xian cavalry" rushed into the city and slashed everywhere, going straight to the city gates. The rebel army, which had been defeated and retreated outside the city, also regrouped and stormed the city gates.

If this is the case, then the Xian Clan guards will also hold on to the city and wait for reinforcements. But the battle in the city was fierce, and another soldier came to report urgently: "General, the Qingzhou army has appeared in the flying dragon on the west side, and it is rushing towards the mouth of the city." ”

Sure enough, I heard the shouts of the rebels outside the city, and the west side of the gate gave way to the Qingzhou army who came to help. This Xian clan guard panicked at this time, you must know that the Xian clan army is mostly divided into tribes and clans, this guard is a soldier who guards Zhongshan City, this guard does not want to make all the people and horses of his tribe die here, in a panic, he can no longer care about organizing people and horses to resist, and he is busy abandoning the city with the remnants of the army and fleeing eastward.

Chen Nian ordered the righteous army to quickly capture Zhongshan City, control the city defense, and send another thousand elites to chase after the Xian soldiers and horses, and did not ask them to come forward to fight with them, only bluffed in the back, and as soon as they saw the Xian soldiers stop, they shouted and shouted to kill, so frightened that the thousands of Xian soldiers ran all night and collapsed.

Xian's 20,000 reinforcements were coming to Zhongshan City, and when they met their own defeated soldiers, they were also a little dumbfounded, and when they asked, they actually said that tens of thousands of Qingzhou troops had killed them. The reinforcement general came from the Helan Department, and he also had some ability, so he immediately gathered the remnants of the army, and rushed over to meet the chasing soldiers, but he didn't want to pounce, and the tens of thousands of Qingzhou troops disappeared out of thin air.

This Helan general immediately led his troops to Zhongshan City, thinking of recapturing Zhongshan, but the righteous army has already gained a foothold in the city at this moment, Chen Nian and Song Yan have guarded Yiping City, and also learned a lot of means of defending the city, although Xian's reinforcements have 20,000, but they lost grain and grass, only stormed for two days, and saw that they could not capture Zhongshan City, so they had to hate and retreat.

Zhongshan City then fell into the hands of the rebels.

When the news reached Zheng Lun's ears, he had just taken over the Jiangnan New Army and was about to lead the army across the river to the north. Hearing that the rebel army, which only had more than 10,000 people, had really captured Zhongshan City, Zheng Lun was a little surprised, and said to Song Yan, the Yiping guard general who came to respond: "I don't want that Lu Lingque to have some ability, and there are also a few talents in Qingfeng Village." ”

Song Yan said: "It was a defeat at the beginning, but somehow it suddenly reversed the situation, which is strange. ”

A partial general next to him couldn't help but interject: "I heard that there is a saying in the righteous army, which was said by a peerless famous general earlier, there is no need for heroes in the army, as long as there is no bear, you can be invincible." ”

Zheng Lun and Song Yan glanced at each other, Song Yan couldn't help but smile, and asked Zheng Lun, "Does General Zheng know which peerless general said this?" ”

Zheng Lun shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Song Yan smiled unconsciously and said: "Song Yan has been familiar with military books since he was a child, but he has never seen such a sentence, it seems that he will have the opportunity to meet that sparrow girl in the future, but he has to ask her." He paused and said with a smile: "Although this girl has some talents, after all, she is from a bandit village and her vision is limited. made so much effort to seize a Zhongshan city, but in fact, it was useless, but it occupied the people and lost its convenience. ”

Zheng Lun said lightly: "Why is it useless? If I want to go around behind the Xian people, then the Flying Dragon is the best way. ”

Song Yan was a little surprised, and asked, "Are you going to go a long way behind enemy lines?" ”

Zheng Lun's finger swept along the western foot of Taihang Mountain on the map, he raised his eyes to look at Song Yan, and replied: "I will divide your tens of thousands of soldiers to help you defend Yiping, and I will take the rest of the light cavalry behind the Xian people." ”
