It is said that Zhao Chen attracted the lead of Linzi to defend the city, and led the army all the way to Wenshui, and was caught up by the 2,000 cavalry behind him less than five miles away from Wenshui.

The two armies scuffled together in an instant.

Zhao Chen immediately ordered to set up a formation and deal with the cavalry in a square formation of 100 people, while he himself kept looking around, looking for the "high" banner army that had gone out of the city to pursue Zhang Wenyuan before.

Seeing that Zhao Chen's hundred-person group phalanx resisted the impact of the two groups of cavalry, he was secretly surprised in his heart.

There is such a phalanx that can resist cavalry.

He no longer cares about the phalanx, and focuses on searching for Zhao Chen's whereabouts.

Sure enough, in the middle of the phalanx, I saw Zhao Chen's figure.

He smiled grimly, and immediately ordered his cronies to violently attack the phalanx where Zhao Chen was.

The two armies collided, and in an instant, people turned on their backs.

Zhao Chen's phalanx was rushed away, and the cavalry that was drawn was intercepted.

At this moment, Zhao Chen was exposed to the field of vision.

Aiming at the opportunity, he quickly pulled his bow and arrow, and shot at Zhao Chen with an arrow.

The arrow was like a meteor, whistling through the crowd and heading straight for Zhao Chen.

When Zhao Chen glanced at it, he was taken aback, but he had no time to react, so he could only turn sideways in a desperate gamble, exposing his arm to resist.

The arrow hit Zhao Chen's left arm directly, and the arrow went through.

A sharp stabbing pain reached Zhao Chen's mind, and blood dripped down his arm onto the loess.

Zhao Chen gritted his teeth and stood firmly with his right hand holding his arm.

He can't pour! As soon as he fell, the army was finished.

Lu Xun on the side was a little flustered and at a loss.

Seeing this, the group of 100 people immediately re-surrounded Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen turned to Lu Xun and said, "Today is the second lesson you learned, have the courage to face it and shoulder the responsibility." Now don't worry so much, look to the north, if there is a large army coming. ”

Lu Xun hurriedly looked north, and there was no trace of the army on the horizon.

"Sir, there is no army coming!"

Zhao Chen reconfirmed Lu Xun's information blankly, and couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Usually, they are sitting in the camp tent, commanding the army to fight, and they have never been deeply involved in it, even the previous time they were raided by Zang Ba, Zhao Chen never felt panicked, and he just needed to evacuate in an orderly manner.

But at this moment, he was facing an army of 10,000, and he only had 1,000 men.

Looking at the enemy forces all around, the feeling of oppression and fear is simply incomprehensible without experiencing it.

But Zhao Chen couldn't retreat, Zhang Fei and Chen Zhi, who were far away in Yingling, were dragging Yuan Tan, and Zhang Liao near was dragging Linzi's 10,000 troops, and he was dragging Linzi's 5,000 men and horses, all in order to allow Xu Sheng to sneak attack Linzi.

As soon as he withdraws, there will be no more fire signals, and Xu Sheng will no longer be able to attack Linzi.

The group of 100 people in front of me has gradually become exhausted, and the number of people is constantly decreasing.

Zhao Chen could only pray silently that Zhang Liao would arrive soon.

Night is approaching, and the momentum of the army has also dropped to the freezing point.

Zhao Chen could see the trace of despair in the soldiers' eyes.

"Isn't it possible that you want to die before you get out of school?"

Zhao Chen laughed at himself.

Before he could finish speaking, the ground suddenly shook.

Lu Xun followed the prestige and saw that the north was dusty, and a cavalry was coming here, waving the banner of "Zhang".

"Sir, there is a cavalry."

Zhao Chen was overjoyed and looked at Lu Xun's hand.

"General Wenyuan is here, and we are saved."

Sure enough, the person who came was Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, and he was followed by an army of 10,000 cadres.

Zhang Liao rushed over, saw the two sides of the melee clearly, and immediately led the army to rush over.

Gao Gan's army followed after a while, and it would encircle the army with a large force.

A thousand cavalry under the leadership of Zhang Liao rushed into the recruiting army with great momentum, and scattered the recruiting army in just one round.

The pressure on Zhao Chen's thousand-man team plummeted.

The two armies converged, and Zhang Liao frowned when he saw that Zhao Chen's left arm was injured.

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "It's okay, quickly rectify the people and kill them." ”

Seeing that the army is about to be surrounded by high-level cadres and leads.

He hurriedly gave the order and lit a fire.

I saw that the strange things in the hands of the original thousand-person team immediately turned into torches and fireballs that burned one after another, and they smashed towards the army of Zhaozhao and Gaogan.

The two Yuan Tan armies did not expect such a fire attack at all, they were taken by surprise, the war horses were frightened and scurried around, the infantry was forced to avoid, and the team fell into chaos in an instant.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Zhao Chen, Lu Xun and Zhang Liao fought their way out.

Zhao Chen immediately said: "Wenyuan, quickly lead the army to Linzi, Zixiang is still attacking the city." ”

Zhang Liao suddenly understood that Zhao Chen's purpose in risking his life was to attract the remaining troops in Linzi City, so that Xu Sheng could sneak attack.

If he had said it at the time of the original layout, Zhang Liao would never have agreed to Zhao Chen's risk of luring the Linzi defenders with his weak body, if there was any mistake, wouldn't it be a big loss because of a small loss!

At this moment, twenty miles away in Linzi, Xu Sheng led the army to lie on the west side of Linzi, staring intently at the east.

Suddenly, a faint fire lit up in the east, Xu Sheng was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the siege of the city.

The soldiers took advantage of the night and quietly touched the city of Linzi.

The soldiers in Linzi City now pay all their attention to the fire in the east.

Xin Ping was still worried about whether the general could take Zhao Chen down, but he didn't know that the danger was quietly approaching from behind.

Xu Sheng took the lead, raised his bow and shot down the soldiers defending the city with three arrows in a row, and the soldiers who accompanied him did the same.

For a time, many corpses fell on the city, and the west gate of Linzi City became a gate of no man.

Then, Xu Sheng took the lead in showing the flying hook, hung it on the daughter wall, and climbed up quickly.

The soldiers who defended the city just reacted didn't have time to draw their swords, and they were cut down by Xu Sheng with a sword.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Sheng took control of the west gate of Linzi.

He left a few brothers to let go, and the rest followed him to raid the east gate to meet Zhao Chen and Zhang Liao.

There is no one in Linzi City who can match Xu Sheng now, and the two generals who defend the city have been diverted from the mountain by Zhao Chen's scheme.

Xin Ping never understood until he died, how the sudden Xu Sheng people behind him entered the city.

It took just over an hour for Linzi City to change course, and all the remaining more than 3,000 soldiers in the city surrendered.

Xu Sheng stood at the head of the city, his eyes fixed on the east.

After a while, I saw a team of people coming, waving the banner of "Zhang" and "Zhao".

It is Zhao Chen and Zhang Liaoye.

Xu Sheng recognized the comer and hurriedly welcomed him into the city.

Zhao Chen was overjoyed when he saw Xu Sheng, and finally took Linzi into his own hands without danger.

Then the senior cadres who came and led the army, seeing that the city gate was closed and no one answered, shouted from afar: "Mr. Zhongzhi, open the city gate quickly!" ”

He didn't even shout three times.

Just as he was about to shout again, the city lit up with the word "Zhao" flag.

"Stop shouting, he'll never hear you anymore."

Zhao exclaimed: "Zhao Chen, why are you in the city!" ”

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "As you can see, Linzi City is already in my hands. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Liao and Xu Sheng on the side appeared one after another, and the archers aimed at the more than 10,000 troops under the city.

Seeing this, Gao Gan understood the reason.

"Zijing, I waited for Zhao Chen's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and now that Linzi City has been lost, with our troops, I am afraid that we will not be able to take it. Yuan Gongzi is in Yingling, I might as well go to Yingling to meet Gongzi as soon as possible, and then make plans. ”

I was helpless, so I naturally agreed with Gao Gan's suggestion.

In the face of the dense array of bows and arrows in the city, you can't risk attacking it.

The two led the army towards the camp mausoleum.
