Chapter 255: Troops in Nanzheng
The sand in front of Huile Peak is like snow, and the moon under Shouxiang City is like frost. ----------Tang Li Yi "Listening to the Flute in the City at Night"
Chen Long's expeditionary army defeated Yang Ang and followed the defeated troops to attack Yangping Pass. Xun You and Ma Teng's army outside Yangping Pass had been accumulating strength for a long time. Taking advantage of the chaos at Yangping Pass, they finally broke through the barrier outside the pass. The army went straight up the ladder to the top of the city and started a bloody battle at the top of the city.
Chen Long took the lead and relied on his unparalleled dexterity to lead the army to the city and launch a real and fierce battle to siege the city. Although the five thousand Hanzhong garrison at the top of the city were attacked with heavy firepower, they could not resist being attacked by Chen Long, Lu Chang, Gao Shun and other famous generals and special forces. During the fight, more and more Qinglong troops came to the top of the city. Chen Long Finally took advantage of the melee at the top of the city.
The defeated soldiers in Hanzhong hurriedly fled down the city. Chen Long followed them down the tower, grabbed a big knife, and split open the city gate with one knife. He cut the rope of the suspension bridge with two more swords, and the suspension bridge fell with a clang. The Qinglong Army, which was preparing to attack outside the city, fell into the camp and immediately launched a charge, entering Yangping Pass from the suspension bridge. At this point, the west gate of Yangping Pass fell.
The army entered the city gate and immediately started a street battle with the Hanzhong army. The morale of the Hanzhong Army was low, and they were basically chased and beaten by the Qinglong Army. The Qinglong Army fought all the way to the east city gate. They saw that there was also chaos on top of the city, and Xun You's army had also boarded the city.
Chen Long was covered in blood. He changed his waist knife and waved his hand. Gao Shun led the people up the stairs to the city wall and cleaned up the retreating Hanzhong army along the way. The retreating Hanzhong army suddenly saw that the city was also surrounded by a large army. Knowing that Yangping Pass had been captured and that they had no way to escape, panic spread quickly like a plague.
I don't know who dropped their weapons first. In an instant, the Hanzhong soldiers knelt on the ground. Seeing that the situation was over, all the defenders on the city surrendered. There was only one young general who still waved his weapon and refused to retreat. Gao Shun rushed over and chopped him down with a knife. The young general had lost his strength a long time ago. He tried his best to block and immediately fell to the ground. The soldiers swarmed up and held him down, and brought him forward with big five-flowered straps. Chen Long took the guards aside and ordered them to clear out the remaining party members and clean the battlefield. The soldiers unexpectedly found a pair of general's armor in front of the dog cave on the edge of the city.
His men moved a chair from somewhere, and Chen Long sat down, panting slightly. Pulling the young general over, the young general opened his eyes wide and glared angrily. Chen Long couldn't help but smile, thinking that he was not afraid of death.
Chen Long stared at the young general and said, "Do you know who I am?" The young general sneered, "I'm just a sneaky person. Do you dare to challenge me to a duel?" Upon hearing this, the soldiers next to him burst into laughter. , all booed.
Chen Long also smiled and said: "I like people who are not afraid of death the most. Let's do this. If you tell me who you are and who this suit of armor belongs to, I will spare your life and give you travel expenses." He pointed to the Wear the general's armor.
The young general thought he would die, but when he saw that not only could he survive, but the conditions were not too harsh, he didn't believe it: "I am Yang Ren. This suit of armor belongs to Zhang Wei, a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death. If you want to kill, kill him. Don't do it." Humiliate me." Chen Long waved his hand and said to the guards around him: "Let him go!"
The guard didn't react for a while, but when he heard clearly, he hurried over and untied Yang Ren. Yang Ren didn't know where the good luck came from, and asked in a daze: "You didn't mean to shoot me in the back, did you?"
Chen Long ignored him and said, "Come here, give him another horse and let him roll." Now Yang Ren was a little convinced that he was going to let him go. He got on the horse and looked at Chen Long for a while. When he saw Chen Long Without any expression, he just hit the horse and ran away. Before running, he actually held his hand in front of him to express his gratitude. Zhou Buyi looked at Yang Ren's back with a smile, gave Chen Long a thumbs up and said, "My lord, the priority is to attack the heart. That's really high."
Chen Long smiled bitterly in his heart. Only he understood that it would be difficult for him to kill these famous generals in the Three Kingdoms face to face, no matter whether they were wise or foolish, beautiful or ugly. For famous generals who are unwilling to submit, it is better to let them go, or to reduce their psychological burden. Maybe they can be like Prime Minister Zhuge, who will not only win the hearts of the people, but also gain good generals.
After Yang Ren left, Xun You and Ma Teng's troops entered the city and cleared Yangping Pass. There were no residents in the pass. All the traffickers and pawns who were unwilling to surrender were released. Chen Long found a quiet room by the city gate, asked his men to boil a few buckets of hot water, took off his bloody clothes and armor, and prepared to take a hot bath and put on some clean clothes. Just after pouring a bucket of water on him, suddenly the door was pushed open with a bang. Chen Long was naked. He thought about who had eaten the courage of the bear's heart and the leopard's courage. He looked angrily. The clouds suddenly turned sunny. It turned out that it was Xun You who was coming with Xun You's army. Tong Feifei and Chu Feiyan were sent. These two were not afraid of anything, and naturally they were not afraid of their husbands. Of course they opened the door and walked in.
Chu Feiyan drove away the guard who was poking his head. The two of them had not seen their husband for a long time. Seeing that Chen Long was still strong and intact, they both called him husband with red faces. Chen Long pulled Tong Feifei over and kissed him. He couldn't help but feel aroused. The three of them were tugging and tugging, and after a while they were all blushing and extremely entangled.
Just when they were enjoying their romance, there was suddenly a loud bang and the door was pushed open again. The three of them were so frightened that they quickly found various blocking objects to block the key parts. Chen Long took a closer look in anger and saw a young girl with a face full of astonishment. Looking at the three people, she turned out to be the daughter of Li Shenxian, the one who was the first to lead him out of the plank road, the underage beauty Li Shishi.
It is said that they are underage. In ancient times, girls got married early. Of course, the relationship between men and women was also known. Chen Long cursed secretly: "Where are all the damn guards?" In fact, the guards were also very upset. They had just been driven away by Chu Feiyan, but who would have thought that another little master Li would come to disrupt the situation.
When Master Li saw the scene that was not suitable for children, his face turned red and he yelled and ran away. This time it was Chen Long's turn to be unlucky. His ears were filled with the voices of Feifei and Yanzi asking: "Who is she?! What is her relationship with you?"
After resting for a while, a military meeting was held that night. Ma Teng and Ma Mengqi, Zhou Buyi and Xun You, Zhang He and Gao Shun were all present. The next step was to formally attack Hanzhong County, and a siege was inevitable. Chen Long asked Zhang He's men to prepare ladders, repeating crossbows and other equipment, and he missed the catapults that could not be transported.
Zhou Bujie was quite familiar with the geography of Hanzhong and told several routes for marching troops. Chen Long had already called up a modern map from his optical brain to check. Seeing that the routes mentioned by Zhou Bujie had not changed much, he said: "The waterway along the Han River It is labor-saving and fast, but it is a pity that there are no troop transport ships. If civilian ships are requisitioned, it is estimated that it will be difficult to gather them all at once. Therefore, the army has no choice but to take the land route. There are two roads, Mian County and Nanzheng, that can lead to Hanzhong County. Which of these two roads is better? Which one is better?"
Seeing Xun You's deep thought, Zhou Buyi took the lead and said, "My lord, the route in Mian County is straighter and can save dozens of miles of detours. But the terrain of Nanzheng is still flat, which is suitable for large forces to attack the city or cavalry in the field." Chen Long nodded, Look at Xun You.
Xun You stroked his beard and said: "My lord, it is not impossible to take the main road of Mian County, but it is too close to the Han River. The enemy can easily transport troops from the Han River and lay ambushes in the mountains and forests along the way. We are unable to defend ourselves. It is better to stay away from the waterway so that the enemy can The deployment of soldiers and generals is also less convenient. The possibility of encountering an ambush is smaller."
"Also, the waterway leads directly to the vicinity of Yangping Pass and needs to be guarded. It is best to repair the city wall and set up sentries in the past few days." Chen Long agreed, thinking that Jiang was still too old, and Xun You's strategy was indeed a sound one. Then he said: "In this case, General Ma Teng, I would like you to lead your own troops and horses to defend the city. Ma Chao will bring some cavalry to follow me to attack Nanzheng. What do you think?"
Seeing that Chen Long's tone was very respectful, Ma Teng nodded and smiled: "I am so envious of these two military advisors Wen Long! Why don't we in Xiliang have a few smart people?" Everyone listened to what he said. It was so funny that they all laughed.
Ma Teng waited for the laughter to subside and continued: "Don't worry Wen Long, I will lead five thousand soldiers to guard the pass, and there will be no mistakes." Seeing that Ma Teng was willing, Chen Long hurriedly cupped his hands and thanked him. Ma Chao stood up and said, "Meng Qi is willing to listen to Nanxiang." Waiting for command! We have 15,000 Xiliang cavalry, willing to be the vanguard!"
Chen Long heard his heroic words, slammed the table, and said with great joy: "Okay! Meng Qi is indeed heroic! Please ask Meng Qi to lead his troops as the vanguard, and send troops to Nanzheng early tomorrow morning! General, please be careful of Zhang Lu's ambush." , I will send military advisor Pan Jun to lead five thousand troops to assist you. If you have any questions, please discuss it!" Pan Jun stood up quickly and couldn't help but praise Ma Chao when he saw his majestic appearance. After hearing this, Ma Chao looked a little arrogant and very high-spirited.
Xun You observed the words and expressions and saw that his lord had no objection, so he did not speak. Chen Long's thoughts were racing, and he understood that Xun You was worried that Pan Jun couldn't control Ma Chao. He thought that since Ma Chao hadn't formally surrendered yet, it would be good if something happened to him, so that he could find a way to take over the wild horse.
Early the next morning, after Ma Chao said goodbye, the whole army went straight to Nanzheng. Xun You ordered Pan Jun several times, and Pan Jun also hurriedly led his troops away. After Chen Long's army had been repaired for a few days, everything was ready, so he said goodbye to Ma Teng and led the army straight to Nanzheng. The Qinglong Army once again sent out reconnaissance cavalry, and the front and rear were well coordinated. The battle in Hanzhong was in the ascendant. It was the dark clouds that were about to destroy the city, and the storm was about to come.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
