Chapter 156: Brave and Gaoshun
Dingyuan City is not far from Chang'an, how can you arrive at the scene of a fast horse galloping for half a day, if the infantry is galloping, it is nothing more than a day and a night, which is considered to be the top of the sky. Therefore, for Chang'an City, Dingyuan City has always been a big problem, and on the contrary, for Dingyuan City, Chang'an is also a threat.
Winter is about to pass in a blink of an eye, and veterans of marching and fighting know that this winter is the most unsuitable for war, the weather is cold, the grain and grass are tight, and whoever fights in winter will definitely not be able to get along with himself.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Bu and Chen Yan were able to spend a quiet winter with each other, although secretly both parties are undercurrents, but after all, no one has made large-scale irregular moves, and there is not a single misfire, which is rare.
But it was also the silence of a cold winter, and in this season when the spring flowers were gradually about to bloom, both parties began to move. First, Lu Bu secretly colluded with the warlords of Xiliang, Ma Teng and Han Sui, and then Chen Yan saw through Lu Bu's conspiracy. Immediately afterwards, Chen Yan sent troops to explore the terrain, encountered Zhang Liao, and then the two exchanged troops, Guo Jiahuo planned to defeat Lu Bu, although all this seems to be breaking through, in fact, it can be said that it is freezing three feet and not a day's cold.
The first taste of victory, Chen Yan and even the entire army were all rejoicing, time was not waiting, Chen Yan naturally understood the truth of taking advantage of the victory to pursue. What's more, since Lu Bu already knew that Chen Yan planned to attack, the defense of Chang'an City would definitely be stronger day by day, if Chen Yan didn't launch an offensive earlier, I am afraid the consequences would be very dangerous!
Because of this, it was still bright every day, so Chen Yan got up early, gathered his soldiers and horses, and prepared to go on the expedition.
Although Dingyuan City is not far from Chang'an, if you really want to attack Chang'an, you still have to go up and besiege Chang'an.
This time it is naturally much larger than before. In addition to Chen Yan leading the soldiers of the Yue Cavalry Battalion and Huang Zhong leading the vanguard, Xu Rong led the three armies and sat in the Chinese army. After that, Li Su was responsible for the work of escorting grain and grass, as the so-called "soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first", if there is no grain and grass, attacking Chang'an will become a fool's dream.
Jia Xu had carefully studied the topographic map of Chang'an brought back by Chen Yan before, and he found that there were four roads leading to Chang'an from Dingyuan City, one of which was naturally the widest and the best to walk, but it was easy to be ambushed by Lu Bu, and one of the remaining three paths was the most hidden, which was very suitable for Li Su to escort grain and grass. As for Chen Yan's army, Jia Xu suggested that Chen Yan go to two other paths to find one.
After thinking about it a few times, Chen Yan felt that Jia Xu's expectations were good, and finally chose one of the paths to take. Although this trail is hidden, there are many mountain paths, and if someone sets up an ambush, I am afraid that it will also be a dangerous area. However, the path chosen this time is very hidden, even the commander of the army knows about it except for his henchmen, and presumably Lu Bu will definitely not know about it.
Before leaving, Chen Yan was carefully dressed in his room, Xing'er stood aside, helping Chen Yan put on his armor, and greeted: "My lord, you went this time, did you not come back if you didn't fight Chang'an?" ”
Chen Yan nodded and said, "We have the advantage of troops, and there are many military generals, no matter how you think about it, we are stronger than Lu Bu's strength, how can we not defeat it?" ”
Xing'er smiled: "But General Lu Bu's martial arts are strong, who of us here can beat him?" ”
Chen Yan sneered: "He is strong? It's just the courage of a horseman. Besides, there are so many heroes and heroes in our army, there may not be no one who is Lu Bu's opponent. ”
Xing'er said: "Since this is the case, then I wish the lord a triumphant!" After that, Xing'er smiled sweetly and patted Chen Yan's shoulder. Chen Yan didn't expect this little girl to be not polite to him, he laughed, and immediately patted Xing'er's little shoulder, and then dressed neatly and led the army.
At this time, Zhang Xiu and Xu Huang were still recuperating in their own rooms, and Chen Yan visited the two of them once when he was free, and both of them reacted the same and regretted.
It is also said that these two people are rare tiger generals in the world, if there are these two people by their side, it will be easy to level Lu Bu, but it is a pity that these two people violated military regulations because of a small personal vendetta, but at this time, they delayed the fighter plane and delayed the overall situation.
Fortunately, there is still an old general Huang Zhong, but it is a pity that there is only one Huang Zhong, but how can he resist the group of wolf-like generals under Lu Bu. Not to mention Lu Bu himself, even if Zhang Liao is here, Huang Zhong may not be able to say that he will win.
The more Chen Yan thought about it, the more he had a headache, so he simply didn't think about it, just looked up at the road ahead, and was a little distracted.
In the blink of an eye, the army had already walked a distance of more than ten miles, and beyond that was the rugged mountain road.
At this time, Chen Yan was riding on a horse, followed by Guo Jia and Song Zhong, followed by the personal soldiers of the Yue Cavalry Battalion. There is Huang Zhong in front of Chen Yan to open the way, and behind him is the main force of Xu Rong's Chinese army, it can be said that it is mighty and the morale is extraordinary, if this army is seen by Lu Bu, I am afraid that even Lu Bu will be afraid.
Gradually, the sun rose, approaching noon, Chen Yan raised his head to look, only to see the scorching sun in the sky, shining the long-frozen earth warmly, he smiled with his eyebrows, and said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, you said that we can capture Chang'an in the shortest days?" ”
Guo Jia also smiled in the newspaper and said: "The art of war is impermanent......
Before the words fell, suddenly a cannon rang out, and he saw rolling stones on the cliff in front of him, Chen Yan only felt that it was dark in front of him, and then there were countless arrow rains all over the place, this arrow rain was like locusts, and he couldn't see how much it was at all!
"There's an ambush!" Song Zhong saw it thoroughly, and immediately exclaimed!
Chen Yan knew that the situation was not good, and immediately hurriedly shouted: "Quick! Find a place to hide! There is an ambush! ”
It's a pity that the rain of rocks and arrows came so quickly, how could it be that Chen Yan said that shelter can be covered, this path is already very narrow, and now everyone panicked, and there was nowhere to escape, trampling on each other for a while, and it became a pot of porridge.
Chen Yan rode on the horse, seeing that the rain of arrows had already arrived in front of him, his brows were tightly locked, his halberd danced, and he personally danced out of a barrier. Thanks to this, Guo Jia was able to get out of the way. It's a pity that Song Zhong stood aside, there was no barrier, and his martial arts were at the bottom, so he had to hide behind the war horse, although he escaped a catastrophe, but unfortunately the war horse was shot into a hedgehog.
In the chaos, Guo Jia frowned and said angrily: "Mr. Jia Xu's choice of this path was originally extremely confidential, but who knew that he was ambushed by Lu Bujun first, this matter is strange, I'm afraid there are really traitors in our army!" ”
Chen Yan knew that what Guo Jia said was good, but he didn't have the intention to analyze these at this time, so he immediately had to respond for the time being: "Fengxiao, you go with Lao Song first and then join General Xu Rong, it's too dangerous here, don't stay for a long time!" ”
Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Lord, let's go over together, you can't take risks!" ”
Before Chen Yan could answer, there was suddenly another loud noise, and he saw a group of people flashing out behind the hillside in front of him, the first one was tall and mighty, with a strong body, wearing a mask and carrying a long knife, and it was Gao Shun!
Chen Yan scolded angrily, and said in his heart: "Okay, you Gao Shun, it turned out to be a trap set by you, let's settle the new and old hatreds together!" ”
Thinking of this, Chen Yan was even more furious, and immediately the gas on the halberd was blazing, and he galloped towards Gao Shun.
Guo Jia shouted anxiously in the back, shouting: "The lord must not act rashly!" Let's fix the formation first! ”
It's a pity that Chen Yan usually looks calm, but now that he sees the enemy who framed him, Chen Yan can't calm down.
It's no wonder that Chen Yan is still a teenager after all, and a bloody man is impulsive, but if he wants to be quick for a while, how can he be as calm and calm as Guo Jia.
At this time, Chen Yan only wanted to avenge the tragic death of Cai Yong and Wang Yun, and only thought about the shame of the past, how could he care that he had inexplicably fallen into Gao Shun's ambush.
Sure enough, as soon as Chen Yan moved, the brothers of the Yueqi Battalion also rushed forward after Chen Yan. And Guo Jia had no power to restrain the chicken, so naturally he couldn't follow him, but fortunately, Song Zhong was still very calm, and immediately said: "Fengxiao Junshi, let's go to the back to find General Xu Rong!" ”
Guo Jia looked at Chen Yan and said, "It's okay, the lord saw this enemy general named Gao Shun, and he lost his mind all of a sudden. We can't help if we stay here at this time, so let's go and find General Xu Rong to come over and help!" ”
Song Zhong's horse had been killed by random arrows, and he could only walk at this time, but fortunately, Guo Jia still had a horse, and the two of them staggered, and then retreated to the back.
And the round of random arrows just now, I don't know how many brothers were killed. Chen Yan's army was originally full of morale and triumphant all the way, but in the blink of an eye, it became full of corpses.
Chen Yan saw it in his eyes, how could he not be anxious? Huang Zhong's troops in front were attacked by falling rocks, and they didn't know what the consequences were, Chen Yan's chest at this time was simply occupied by angry flames!
It is precisely like this that Guo Jia's sentence just now kept reappearing in Chen Yan's mind:
"Mr. Jia Xu's choice of this path was originally extremely secretive, but who knew that he was ambushed by Lu Bujun first, this matter is strange, I'm afraid there are really traitors in our army!"
"Mr. Jia Xu's choice of this path was originally extremely secretive, but who knew that he was ambushed by Lu Bujun first, this matter is strange, I'm afraid there are really traitors in our army!"
The more Chen Yan thought about it, the more angry he became, and suddenly roared: "Who is *** a traitor!" Lao Tzu will definitely get rid of you in the future! ”
It's a pity that even if he gets angry again at this time, it won't help, and all Chen Yan's anger has to gather on the masked Gao Shun not far away.
Gao Shun probably wouldn't have thought that Chen Yan, who had been ambushed, would actually kill him, he sneered substantially, and suddenly ordered: "Brothers, let's retreat back and retreat to the uphill slope." ”
Gao Shun's soldiers were all infantry, while Chen Yan and the brothers of the Yue Cavalry Battalion were cavalry, so Gao Shun made a decision to fight Chen Yan on the hillside, and his idea could be described as insidious.
It's a pity that Chen Yan's anger was surging at this time, and he was out of proportion, and he only cared about chasing and killing Gao Shun, but he didn't know that he was walking towards the trap planted by Gao Shun step by step......
