Chapter 79: A Strange War
Chen Gong's simple words successfully persuaded Zhang Miao.
He said: "Xiao Huang and Junyi don't need to be captured at all, they were originally under the rule of their own officials, and now they are just garrisons. β
Chen Gong's eyes were thoughtful, and he slowly shook his head, "The prince, although the emperor has no virtue, the ministers of the court and the central government are now all generals who can fight habitually. Not to mention Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi, who are veterans of a hundred battles, Cao Mengde alone is already extremely difficult. He started from the collection of yellow scarves and became famous all over the world. β
"With such a character, how can you not see the stakes of this battle?"
"If the army of Fa Shulu occupies Xiao Huang, Junyi and other cities near Chenliu and blocks the road, our army of more than 20,000 will become caged beasts. Fujun, at this moment, the fight is who can take the lead! β
After finishing speaking, Chen Gong added a sentence in his heart.
I didn't need my strategy earlier, but now I am one step behind others, if I continue to be stubborn......
I'm afraid there is no way out.
Wait for death.
A trace of hesitation flashed on Zhang Miao's face, and suddenly he seemed to have made an extremely important decision, and said in a deep voice: "Mr.'s strategy is like a guiding light, which makes me suddenly sober. Please lead the soldiers and horses in the city and fight for Chen Liu's father and old man to fight a future! β
Chen Gong was a little surprised.
He didn't expect Zhang Miao to make such a decision.
"Fujun, let's take the humble post temporarily, wait to retreat from the enemy, and return the army to the Fujun." Chen Gong said with a deep sigh.
The corners of Zhang Miao's mouth slowly turned up, and he laughed heartily: "Gongtai, there is no need to be so cautious. There is no doubt about employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people, I still have Zhang Miao's belly. However, since you insist, then take the troops and horses for the time being, and discuss it later. β
"Whoa!" Chen Gong smiled slightly and responded.
In between these words, Cao Hong's cursing outside the city never stopped.
They did not hesitate to shoot all the crossbow arrows on the soldiers' bodies, until the wall pierced the wall like a hedgehog.
After losing such a long-range weapon as a crossbow arrow, Cao Hong seemed to have no choice.
He ordered the soldiers to remove their armor and greet Zhang Miao loudly under the city gate shirtless.
The greeting rose from Zhang Miao himself all the way to Zhang Miao's wives and concubines, as well as his ancestors.
Maybe Cao Hong's temper was too short-tempered, and he actually played a big knife under the city shirtless.
While playing with the knife, he greeted Zhang Miao's ancestors viciously.
The shouting was so hoarse that the people on the city wall could clearly hear the hoarseness in his voice.
Chen Gong rested his hands on the city wall, his eyes uncertain.
"Gongtai, when should our army attack?" Zhang Miao asked a little eagerly.
When Chen Gong said it, he almost hooked out his heart, and he couldn't wait to rush out of the city immediately.
But now, he gave the right to command the army to Chen Gong.
This person who suggested sending troops, on the contrary, sat down steadily, and did not give the order to go out of the city.
Zhang Miao, who made a fuss, was extremely unsteady.
"Please take a look."
Chen Gong said, stretching out his hand and pointing at Cao Hong's department outside the city, "They are throwing away their armor and showing off their strength bare-chested. β
"Isn't this the best time? They don't even have armor, and if our army takes the opportunity to rush out of the city, they will be able to kill them by surprise. Zhang Miao asked puzzled.
Chen Gong chuckled, "Fu Jun, the way they look makes me a little uneasy. It's an opportunity, but it's also a pitfall. A trap to lure our army out of the city and hit halfway. β
Zhang Miao thought about it and nodded twice, "But I think that the general who leads the troops is like a shallow and unscrupulous horseman." β
"Fu Jun, judging whether a person has rebellion or not, you can't look at his vulgar appearance. Some generals who seem to be unscrupulous can slash people with knives on horses, bend down to lift the pen, and maybe even embroider with needles! Chen Gong shook his head and said.
"You're talking about Huangfu Song?!" Zhang Miao frowned and asked in surprise.
Chen Gong was stunned, "I haven't heard that Huangfu Song can embroider, but Gai Xun is afraid of his wife, but he may embroider." β
"Gai Xun still has such a thing?" Zhang Miao's eyes suddenly lit up, and his face was curious.
"Uh...... Humble duties are also occasionally heard of. Chen Gong said speechlessly.
Why do you talk about all this gossip and gossip?

At this time, Wei Zi suddenly shouted loudly: "Mr. Fujun, Mr. Gongtai, the enemy army is in armor!" They're in armor! β
Chen Gong turned around suddenly, and after glancing at the situation outside the city, he resolutely ordered: "General Wei, use all the soldiers and horses in the city, kill them, and chisel through them!" β
Wei Zi was stunned by Chen Gong's sudden order, and hurriedly took the order.
"Whoa!"
He shouted categorically, and every pore on his body seemed to be struggling.
Even the steps when going down the stone steps were extra hard.
Wetz has never fought such a rich battle in his life!
An army of more than 20,000 men!
I heard that the general He Jin also had such soldiers and horses under his command before.
The mighty soldiers and horses, accompanied by the sound of orders, quickly gathered together.
The old mottled city gate, under the hard pushing, emitted a tooth-sore sound.
The dust filled the air, and those brave men who came from all over the country gasped for breath, and one by one stared at the slowly opening city gate.
When the order flag waved, the soldiers and generals of the various ministries immediately shouted at the top of their voices.
"Kill!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
A person's shouting of killing must be fierce and sonorous.
The uniform roar of a group of people must be like thunder.
But a group of messy shouts, it can only be messy.
There is a clear ferocity in the mess.
The brave men raised their weapons and rushed out of the city one after another.
"Array!" Cao Hong was like a rabbit, grabbed the big knife stuck in the ground, and turned over on the horse.
The soldiers hurriedly grabbed their broadswords and lined up their formations.
As for the armor scattered on the ground, there was no time to clean it up.
Zhang Miao had just raised his big sword, and suddenly saw that from the three city gates, there was still a steady stream of people pouring out.
His face changed instantly, "Dog thief Zhang Miao, you deflated calf raised in the wild ditch, you dare to yin me!" β
He roared at the head of the city, and immediately turned the horse's head, "Run!" β
"Run, run, run!"
The horsewhip fell on the horse's back in a hurry, and in the neighing of the war horse, Cao Hongsa ran as fast as a thief.
Behind him, the soldiers also hurriedly followed.
Zhang Miao was surprised, and slammed his fist on the city wall, "Thief soldiers, see how long you can be rampant!" β
Although he was still scolded this time, this scolding made Zhang Miao feel quite comfortable.
"Mr. Gongtai, when the army returns, we will be able to assemble such an elite cavalry. I'm afraid that the matter of selecting soldiers will have to be taken care of a lot by Mr. The imperial court guards made that big knife, I look really good, but I'm afraid ordinary people can't pick it up. Zhang Miao said to Chen Gong with confidence.
He's already starting to fantasize about the future.
But Chen Gong's mentality is far less than that of Zhang Miao.
He gritted his teeth, bared his teeth and played for a moment, and then asked Zhang Miao: "Fu Jun, if this battle is defeated, do you have a way out?" β
"Defeated?!" Zhang Miao looked incredulous, "How could this battle be lost!" Mr. Gongtai, don't want to scare me? β
"Although they lost their armor, the formation of their escape was too neat." Chen Gong muttered, "Just in case, I suggest that the prince should still leave a way out. β
Zhang Miao was stunned, and stared at Chen Gong with a cloudy expression.
After a while, he pinched his chin with a slightly uneasy demeanor and said, "Impossible, this battle cannot be lost!" β
"The formation in which they fled was too neat because these soldiers were already trained to be very disciplined. As you can see, the black-faced thief gave the order, and they formed a battle formation in an instant. β
Chen Gong didn't refute and nodded, "The meaning of humility is just in case." β
"No!" Zhang Miao gritted his teeth fiercely, and said with a rare and extremely firm look: "No, there is no case." β
"The old man swears to live and die with this city!"
Chen Gong was silent, put away all the words he wanted to admonish, and just nodded silently.
β¦β¦ I hope so.
But the appearance of the enemy fleeing made him think about it at the moment, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.
β¦β¦
Wei Zi was in high spirits, and led an army of 20,000 to chase and kill the 3,000 enemy troops, and rushed out of several miles in one go.
With a strong foundation behind him, he is full of confidence in this battle.
But to his annoyance, those damned enemy generals ran like rabbits.
He chased for so long, but he never caught up.
So far, he has not even taken a single head of the enemy.
"They're all great riders." Weitz gritted his teeth and muttered.
Having been stuck behind the enemy for so long, Weeds could see their appearance very clearly.
The horsemanship of these cavalrymen is simply stronger than that of those who grew up on horseback at a young age.
"Labor and management don't believe in this evil anymore!" Wetz gritted his teeth and whipped the horse's back hard.
This chase is the little hour you chase me.
During this time, the enemy disappeared from his field of vision several times, but was forcibly caught up by Weiz.
More than 20,000 soldiers and horses were dispatched, if he couldn't even take thousands of soldiers and horses, what kind of face would he have to return to the city?
The sun was gradually turning westward in the breeze, and Wetz was almost fainted by the heat, and the horses were also tired and panting like thunder.
Weiz turned his head to glance at the increasingly scattered troops in front of him and behind him, and sent several captains under his command to personally supervise the army.
"Labor and management still don't believe it, we are tired, you must be tired too! Everyone's horses are raised eating grass, and there is no difference. Weiz was ruthless in his heart, and gritted his teeth again and chased forward.
This chase is a small time that has passed in a blink of an eye, and the sun has gradually turned westward.
Weiz's war horse couldn't stand such a high-intensity run, the corners of his mouth were overflowing with foam, and his hooves were already trembling.
After checking the state of the horses, Weeds had to give up the pursuit.
"These thieves, what has changed, they are too good at running!"
Weizi squatted on the ground, stroked the neck of the war horse with his hand, and said with a curse.
He was now completely convinced.
I chased him so far, but I never caught up, but I really can't blame him.
After letting the war horse rest a little, Weiz had to give up the pursuit and ordered his guards to lead the war horse and walk back to the city.
Almost all the cavalry that was still with him was left, and the foot soldiers had long since run away.
With such a high-intensity rush, even if the soles of people's feet are the same as those of horses, they can't catch up.
However, Weiz is not worried.
When you go back, just gather the remnants of the army.
After walking for several miles, and drinking his horse once, Weiz got back on his horse and returned to the city with his men.
It's just that as the distance from Chen Liu gets closer and closer, Wei Zi's heart can't help but be a little flustered.
He never saw the remnants of the rout, not a single one!
"It's not right, it's not right!" Weiz muttered to himself, just as he saw Gao Rou riding his horse and rushing up from behind.
"Brother Wei, why don't you see a rout?" Gao Rou had just arrived recently and asked.
Weiz shook his head and said, "I just have this doubt, it stands to reason that even if we escape, it is unlikely that we will all escape." How could it be that not a single soldier could see us all the way down? β
"Could it be that the prince of the government sent people to collect the rout?" Gao Rou thought for a while and said.
Wei Zi shook his head, "Fu Jun didn't even know that we had been chasing us so far, how could he send someone here?" β
"Something is wrong! But I just couldn't figure out what was wrong. β
Gao Rou sighed, "Although I don't think it's likely, could it be...... We were ambushed? β
"Ambushed?!" Weitz almost widened his eyes, "So what's going on with the two of us now?" β
Gao Rou was stunned, "It seems to be ...... Also. β
"Also, you said an ambush, right? We haven't seen any traces of a fight along the way, have we? "Even if you just kill one or two people, you're sure you'll leave some traces, right?" β
Gao Rou was persuaded by the success, and muttered incomprehensibly, "What a hell!" β
