Chapter 92: Risking Your Life
In the summer, the climate is quite hot.
It's very irritating at noon.
Zhang Fei stood alone outside the camp, looking at the sky, estimating that it had reached the appointed time, and then turned around and gave the order, pretending to attack the city.
His task today is to drag Yuan Tan and then take the opportunity to sneak attack.
The 5,000-strong army was spread out under Yingling City in turn, and Zhang Fei and Chen Zhi each led one side.
Cheng Yu was in the Chinese army, and behind him stood Zhuge Jin and Bu Qi.
I saw Zhang Fei stepping forward to invite the battle.
Yuan Tan stood at the head of the city and laughed: "Even five thousand people dare to come to my realm, what about Zhao Chen?" Let Zhao Chen come out to talk. ”
Buqi led the banner of the word "Zhao" and slowly walked out from behind Cheng Yu.
According to the tone that Zhao Chen taught him, he had a dialogue with Yuan Tan.
"If you have the ability, you will go to the city to fight!"
Yuan Tan was unmoved, just stood on the city and waited.
He expected that Zhao Chen's army would not dare to attack the city, and it would come from a long distance, and the supply of grain and grass would be the biggest problem, and it would only take a few days, and it would take not a single soldier to repel Zhao Chen.
But how could he have expected that it was this side that was guarding the city and not moving, but fell into the trap of Zhen Zhao Chen.
It turned out that Linzi, which was one hundred and eighty miles away, never thought that Dong'anping at the Zishui Ferry was being attacked by Zhang Liao's army.
The leading general of the ferry could not resist in front of Zhang Liao for a round, and was cut off his horse.
When the general Gao Gan who stayed in Linzi learned the news, Dong'anping had already been lost.
Gao Gan was taken aback: "This is Qingzhou, how can the army dare to sneak attack Dong'anping?" Could it be the Yellow Turban Army again? ”
Xin Ping on the side replied: "The tactics of the team attacking Dong'anping are refined, they come and go quickly, and the people who lead the army are strong in martial arts, and they are definitely not the Yellow Turban Army. ”
"Could it be Sun Guan Xiaoer?" (Sun Guan lying gun...... )
Xin commented and denied: "Although Sun Guan occupies Taishan County and has some illusions about the Qi Kingdom, since Gongzi took Qingzhou, he has never violated the border, it should not be, not to mention that there is a word on the banner." ”
"Who the hell is that?!"
Xin Ping suggested: "General Gao, no matter who it is, there are not many people in the team attacking Dong'anping, and Dong'anping is the only way for Yuan Gongzi to go back and forth to the camp, and it is also a reinforcement channel, so it must not be lost." At this time, there were still more than 20,000 troops in the city, so it was better to divide 10,000 troops to recapture Dong'anping. ”
Gao Gan took Xin Ping's suggestion and immediately led the army out of the city from the east gate of Linzi.
Who knew that Gao Gan's every move was under Zhao Chen's nose outside the east gate.
It turned out that Zhao Chen led the remaining 1,000 people to ambush in the woods southeast of Linzi, observing every move of Linzi City.
Seeing a group of men and horses coming out of Linzi City heading towards the east, Zhao Chen realized that the time had come, and immediately displayed the banner, encouraging the soldiers behind him to shout in unison and kill towards Linzi City.
For a time, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the soldiers guarding the city in Linzi were excited, and they quickly cheered up and looked into the distance.
I saw a team of people not far away, quickly coming towards Linzi.
The guards immediately reported to the general defending the city.
Xin Ping's face was full of shock, there would be people who would dare to be unfavorable to Linzi in Qingzhou.
When he went up to the top of the city, he saw it, and his heart was relaxed.
The people under the city are under the banner of "Zhao", the team is loose and scattered, and it is estimated that there are only 1,000 people, which does not look like a fighting army at all.
In particular, the strange things that those people were holding in their hands were like branches and straws, and there was no sense of oppression in the swords.
He laughed heartily: "Where did the ignorant child come from, such a person dares to spread wild in front of Linzi City?" ”
You must know that there are still more than 10,000 people in the city, and even if a regular army comes to attack the city, Xin Ping is confident that it can deal with 30,000 horses.
Zhao Chen was very happy to see that the city was just a minister guarding the city.
He hurriedly revealed his identity: "I am Zhao Chen, Zhao Houde, you will surrender quickly." ”
As soon as he heard Zhao Chen's name, Xin Ping's trick behind him became interested.
He hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhongzhi, could it be Liu Bei's military advisor Zhao Chen?" ”
Xin Ping thought for a moment, and said calmly: "I don't think it is necessarily, first, Zhao Chen sent troops to attack Qingzhou, and at this time, he should confront Yuan Gongzi in Yingling, and secondly, Zhao Chen defeated Cao Cao and Yuan Shu's people, how can the army led by him be like this, Zijing General and look, the people and horses in front of the city at the moment, not to mention who can defeat an army, even if the bandits can take it down." Do you think it's possible that it's really Zhao Chen? ”
He replied: "Sir, do you mean that someone is pretending to be Zhao Chen to commit Linzi?" ”
Xin Ping nodded: "Very likely." ”
Zhao Chen, who was in the city, saw that the two were indifferent, and suddenly understood that the two of them must not believe him.
This made Zhao Chen a little anxious, but he didn't expect that his identity would not become a good bait.
At this time, in Dong'anping, twenty miles away, Gao Gan was leading an army of 10,000 to pursue Zhang Liao with 1,000 iron cavalry.
Zhang Liao followed Zhao Chen's strategy and slowly led the army of senior cadres to the edge of Wenshui.
Gao Gan really hit the plan, and he bit Zhang Liao tightly, and the 10,000-strong army was dusty, chasing a thousand iron horses.
Seeing that the temptation was unsuccessful, Zhao Chen was in a hurry, and immediately mocked: "Last year, Cao Cao's 100,000 army, I Zhao Chen, was never afraid, but now that you are waiting for a small Linzi, how can I put it in my eyes, and I will wait for the rats, and I dare not come to fight." ”
The move was provoked by Zhao Chen, and he immediately became anxious.
"Who are you who dare to come here to spread wildness?"
Zhao Chen declared again: "I am Zhao Chen!" ”
Lu Xun on the side also stood up and said: "This is my husband Zhao Chen, Zhao Houde, Liu Xuande, can this be fake?" Why don't you surrender quickly?! ”
"What a big breath, even if he is Zhao Chen, can he still beat my army of 10,000 with these stragglers?"
After speaking, he didn't care about Xin Ping's obstruction, rushed down the city, and led the army to kill Zhao Chen.
Xin Ping hurriedly persuaded: "The general led the troops to kill Zhao Chen, but he can't take all the 10,000 soldiers away, Zhao Chen's men and horses outside the city are only 1,000 people, the general can lead 5,000 troops, and leave 5,000 men and horses for me to defend the city, how about it?" ”
Pull the answer.
Finally, after holding each other for half an hour, the east gate of Linzi City opened.
led the army of five thousand, and walked towards Zhao Chen.
Looking at the dense soldiers behind him, Zhao Chen smiled in his heart.
He suddenly became serious, and whispered to Lu Xun beside him: "Wait for my order in a while, immediately retreat to the direction of Wenshui and join General Wenyuan, otherwise you and I may have to worry about our lives." ”
When Lu Xun heard this, his spirit tightened, and he nodded again and again.
Then, Zhao Chen greeted each other, didn't say a word, made a grimace, and then gave an order, and immediately turned around and prepared to leave.
Zhao Zhao was humiliated by Zhao Chen, and he was furious.
"Zhao Chen'er, dare to tease General Ben, take your life!"
Seeing a loud roar, the 5,000-strong army rushed towards Zhao Chen's team.
Fortunately, Zhao Chen ran fast, and the team of 1,000 people was flexible, and he opened a distance of one mile from the army of recruits for the first time.
The originally lazy team of 1,000 people is now like a different person, each in high spirits, and the pace under their feet is fast.
He led the army to chase for half an hour, and found that he still couldn't reach Zhao Chen's fur, so he was even more annoyed in his heart, and kept urging the army to speed up.
Gradually, only part of the cavalry of the 5,000 army recruited caught up with Zhao Chen's pace, and the rest of the infantry fell behind because of insufficient speed.
Just when Zhao Chen was less than five miles away from Wenshui, the leader behind him led two thousand cavalry to catch up, and he was already close at hand.
