Chapter 105: Chasing Zhao Chen

It is said that Yan Liang led the army to Xi'an County, but saw that Zhao Chen had already set up camp outside the city.

Yan Liang was surprised, and immediately led the crowd to explore the camp.

Zhao Chen's camp surprised Yan Liang and the others.

I saw that the camp did not have the demeanor of the handsome and strong man rumored in the rumor, but was disorganized and messy.

Yan Liang immediately taunted Zhao Chen, and despite his opposition, he made a plan to attack the camp tonight.

Frustrated, he had no choice but to agree.

In fact, when Yuan Shao ordered Yan Liang to lead the army, he opposed it.

He once said to Yuan Shao: "Yan Liang has a narrow personality, although he is brave, he can't be allowed to serve as a general alone." ”

However, Yuan Shao did not obey, and still let Yan Liang lead the army to aid Yuan Tan as a general.

Now it seems that Yan Liang's character flaws have been exposed, and he has underestimated the enemy before the war, and on the opposite side is Zhao Chen, who is already famous in the Central Plains.

At this moment, Zhao Chen was in full swing in the camp to arrange the next matters.

Zhang Liao and Chen Zhi each led 2,000 men and horses, all the way to the east of the camp.

The rest of the soldiers remained the same, waiting in the camp for tomorrow's decisive battle.

The news has been delivered to Yan Liang.

Yan Liang said with a smile: "Before the war started, some generals retreated, how could it be done by the commander?" ”

Zhang He and Fu Zhu also didn't understand Zhao Chen's purpose.

However, Fu Zhu still persuaded Yan Liang not to act rashly, and Zhao Chen's action may have a conspiracy, so as not to fall into the scheme.

Yan Liang didn't comply, but laughed and frustrated to be timid and cautious.

It's night.

The moon stars are scarce.

The people of the city have slept peacefully.

The east gate of Xi'an County was quietly opened, and an army of 10,000 people poured out of the county, with the word "Zhang" written on one side and the word "Yan" written on the other side.

Two groups of people sneaked outside Zhao Chen's camp.

Seeing that Zhao Chen's camp was still messy, Yan Liang smiled disdainfully: "Frustrated and short-sighted, Zhao Chen is incompetent, see me make great contributions tonight, brothers will follow me to enter the camp and capture Zhao Chen alive!" ”

Yan Liang gave an order, and the army moved when he heard the wind, and 10,000 people rushed towards Zhao Chen's camp.

For a while, the killing cry shook the sky.

Seeing this, the soldiers in Zhao Chen's camp were terrified and hurriedly abandoned their weapons and fled.

"Zhao Chen" in the main camp tent, seeing the outsiders in the camp, smiled slightly and hurriedly got on the horse.

He held a knife in his left hand and a rein in his right hand, and met Yan Liang face to face, and after only three rounds, he was defeated and led the army to leave in a hurry.

Yan Liang's army entered Zhao Chen's camp without any resistance, and took the camp almost bloodlessly, capturing countless equipment, grain and grass in the camp.

Yan Liang and Zhang He gathered together and looked for Zhao Chen's traces everywhere.

Sure enough, outside the camp not far away, I saw Zhao Chen leading the army to escape.

Yan Liang smiled presumptuously: "He is also known as the strongest resourcemaker in the Central Plains, but he is so vulnerable. I didn't see each other, and I was defeated for a while. ”

Although Zhang He felt strange and seemed that the matter was too smooth, after all, there was no loss, and he didn't say anything more.

The two were about to lead the army back to the city, and suddenly saw a general who had been killed yesterday, under the banner of "Zhang", it was Zhang Liaoye.

Yan Liang didn't pay attention to it at all, and raised his gun to meet him.

In just three rounds, Zhang Liao was defeated and hurriedly walked towards the "Zhao Chen" army not far away.

Yan Liang said with a smile: "It turns out that Zhao Chen arranged an ambush, but unfortunately it is so vulnerable, how can he help me?" ”

As a result, Zhang Liao's defeat aroused Yan Liang's greed.

Yan Liang saw that the number of "Zhao Chen" and Zhang Liao's army was not large, so he led the army of cronies to chase after him.

Seeing this, Zhang He secretly screamed badly, worried that there was an ambush.

I only heard Yan Liang reply: "This is an ambush, and it will not be difficult at all." ”

Zhang He had no choice but to lead the army to follow.

The two of them and two horses charged ahead, chasing the "Zhao Chen" army.

Seeing Yan Liang chasing after him, the "Zhao Chen" army scattered their legs and went all the way to the north.

To the north is Bochang and Le'an counties, which are the boundaries of Yuan Tan.

Yan Liang saw that "Zhao Chen" was panicking, and he was overjoyed, and his excitement became more and more intense.

The two armies chased after me, and ran all the way for about 30 miles.

The news of Yan Liang's sneak attack on Zhao Chen's camp and his victory was immediately sent to Fu Zhi.

Frustrated and slightly surprised, thinking to himself, could it be that Zhao Chen really did not live up to his name?

But he vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he immediately repaired a book and ordered someone to send it to Yan Liang.

The dawn broke in the east, and the army was naturally hungry.

However, Yan Liang's army could no longer see the traces of the "Zhao Chen" army.

Yan Liang was a little angry: "This Zhao Chen has nothing else, he runs quite fast, if he is slower, he will definitely be able to catch up last night." ”

Immediately, Yan Liang ordered the army to rest on the spot and make a fire.

Zhang He took the opportunity to propose: "General, now that Zhao Chen's army is gone, it is better for me to go back to Xi'an first, and then discuss with Mr. Fu Zhi." After all, he hasn't met with Yuan Gongzi yet, and the lord can't explain it. ”

Yan Liang thought for a moment, thinking that now that the pursuit did not seem to be able to quickly discover the traces of Zhao Chen's army, it was indeed more appropriate to go back.

He said, "Just as you said, I will return when the soldiers have filled their stomachs." ”

Seeing that Yan Liang agreed, Zhang He relieved himself, after all, he had never wanted to believe that Zhao Chen's army was so vulnerable.

Just last night's surprise attack crushed an army of 10,000, judging from the march, I am afraid that Zhao Chen has less than 5,000 people in his hands, and there is a possibility that it is decreasing.

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, suddenly, a general came from the east and hung the banner of "Chen".

Yan Liang was taken aback, and he and Zhang He hurriedly responded.

"I'm going to take my life!"

The visitor shouted: "I am Chen Zhiye under Zhao Chen's tent!" Dare to chase my military advisor Zhao Chen, Yan Liang came out to die! ”

When Yan Liang heard this, his anger was instantly ignited: "I wanted to let you wait for a horse, but now I have come to die, look at the gun!" ”

I saw Yan Liang get on the horse with a gun and take Chen directly.

The two fought for more than ten rounds, without a win.

Yan Liang was interested, and the marksmanship in his hand became more and more violent, and the guns were scattered everywhere.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Chen Zhi shook a shot and hurriedly led the army towards the north.

How could Yan Liang, who had just hit his heart, let go of Chen Dao, and without looking back, he rushed after Chen Dao's horse.

Seeing this, Zhang He exclaimed that it was not good, and hurriedly led the army to follow Yan Liang's horses and went all the way.

Unfortunately, the speed of the infantry was not as fast as the cavalry, so Zhang He had to lead the cavalry to chase after him first, so that the infantry advanced quickly.

After chasing about ten miles, Chen Zhi's army had already run away without a trace.

Yan Liang had no choice but to restrain his horse and be angry: "Gallant mice! ”

When I looked down, I saw that the ground was full of charred holes.

He ordered his soldiers to count how many holes there were.

The soldier replied: "General, there are more than 500 holes!" ”

Yan Liang laughed.

At this time, Zhang He just came in time to ask what was the matter.

Yan Liang smiled and pointed to the black hole on the ground and said: "This is the rice stove of the army, and one stove can make ten people's meals." Zhao Chen's army saw that we were fierce, and there were deserters in the army. Previously, there were 800 stoves in the camp outside Xi'an, but now there are only more than 500 stoves here, and there are 300 stoves less, and I am afraid that there are at least 3,000 deserters. ”

Zhang He confirmed again, and sure enough.

Yan Liang immediately decided to continue the pursuit.

At this time, the scout in front came to report, saying that he had seen the traces of the "Zhao Chen" army ten miles away.

Yan Liang was overjoyed, ordered the army to abandon the baggage, and ordered 5,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry to follow the light chariots, only bring two days' rations, and quickly pursue.

If it's too late, wouldn't it be a pity to let "Zhao Chen" run away?

Zhang He faintly felt that there was something strange about this matter, but he didn't know what the problem was, so he had to follow Yan Liang all the way.
