When you are ugly.

Chen Sheng led three thousand soldiers and horses under his command and hid in a mountain forest five or six miles south of Tuoxian County.

It was so quiet in the mountains and forests that even the chirping of insects could not be heard.

Chen Sheng was sitting on a horse. When he looked back, he saw that Chen Dao was still emphasizing the combat mission with many generals under his command. He couldn't help but smile softly.

He was a little nervous originally.

It can be seen that Chen Dao is more nervous than him.

He was not so nervous anymore.

Before setting off from the main camp, Chen Sheng held a short combat meeting. After discussion, he decided to divide the troops into three groups.

Chen Dao leads two thousand red-coated soldiers on the left.

He personally led three thousand county troops and was in the middle.

Zhao Si led two thousand red-coated soldiers on the right.

Later, Chen Dao, pretending to be a Tuoxian County soldier, will intercept this group of people and interrogate their identities.

Once it was confirmed that these men and horses were not soldiers of the imperial court, Chen Dao would immediately take action and start a battle.

At that time, General Chen Sheng led his army to make a surprise attack and cut this group of troops into two sections.

When the war reached its peak, Zhao Si led the army to rush out again and completely defeated this army.

Judging from the troop formation alone, it seems that Chen Sheng has the most arduous combat task.

But in fact, in this battle, Chen Dao and Zhao Si had a more difficult task.

It should be noted that the incoming army attacked for dozens of miles at night, and 5,000 men and horses stretched out on the horse road for more than ten miles.

When the battle begins, they will first try to defeat the enemy.

After all, before today, Tuoxian County had less than 500 poorly equipped county soldiers, and they were all vulnerable to a single blow!

When they discovered that the number of enemies was no less than themselves, or even more than themselves, and that they seemed to be surrounded by the enemy.

Even well-trained soldiers and horses will most likely collapse.

Desperate to break through.

In order to survive...

At that time, Zhao Si and Chen Dao, who intercepted the group of soldiers and horses at both ends of the horse road, would bear huge pressure.

On the contrary, Chen Sheng and his group, who seemed to be among the enemy troops, would be very safe, and not many enemy troops would be willing to continue to entangle with them.

What's more, Chen Sheng is commanding three thousand county soldiers who have been trained by Chen Dao for a long time.

Of course, their arrangement of troops was not all to take care of Chen Sheng.

The combat pressure on Chen Sheng's army may be the lightest among the three.

But their combat mission is the heaviest among the three.

The key to defeating this incoming army lies in Chen Sheng's troops!

The key to whether all the troops can be retained lies in Chen Sheng's troops!

They must win fast enough and hard enough so that they can gain the greatest fruits of victory at the lowest cost in this battle!

"Fan Gong, the soldiers and horses are coming so quickly. Is there any change in Qiao County?"

Chen Sheng asked Fan Zeng, who was wrapped in a big cloak and resting with his eyes closed.

This is actually what worries him the most.

According to his and Fan Zeng's previous speculation, it would take at least four or five days for the Yellow Turban Army to enter Chen County via Qiao County.

This troop arrived too early.

This made him have to wonder if there were any changes that he didn't know about in Qiao County.

For example, when the governor of Qiao County surrendered to Taiping Road, the Yellow Turban Army took over Qiao County and marched north without spending any effort.

Fan Zeng opened his eyes, pondered for a few breaths, then shook his head and said: "There may be something unexpected, but it is not what your Majesty thinks."

Chen Sheng: "Oh? How do you say this?"

Fan Zeng said softly and unhurriedly: "Although I do not command the troops, I also know that marching at starry night is a taboo in the army and cannot be used unless there is an urgent need... Your Majesty feels that the hundreds of old and weak soldiers in Tuoxian County are worthy of

When five thousand soldiers and horses attack for dozens of miles at night?"

Chen Sheng thought about it for a while, then said with sincerity, "Fan Gong's great insight has hit the nail on the head!"

Indeed so.

No matter how important Tuoxian's position is, the three to four hundred poorly armed county soldiers in Tuoxian are not enough to allow five thousand men and horses to rush dozens of miles in the dark to attack the city.

Five thousand versus three or four hundred.

You can hit anytime.

You can take a shot in the morning.

You can call at noon.

If you have an urgent need to urinate, you can hold it in for now and wait until Tuoxian is conquered before entering the city!

There is no need to look at the almanac at all.

However, this group of troops was stunned and marched for dozens of miles in the dark, heading straight for Tuoxian County!

This can only show that Tuoxian County has a meaning for them that Chen Sheng does not know.

In other words, the goal of this group of troops is not Tuoxian at all!

After complimenting Fan Zeng, Chen Sheng then asked, "Does Mr. Fan have any guesses about the changes in Qiao County?"

Now he finally understood why those who were lords would habitually ask their aides for their opinions first when encountering problems.

It's not that they themselves have no brains.

But I can get the answer without using my own brain, which is really cool!

How many people can resist the temptation to copy homework?

Fan Zeng stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I have some guesses, but it's hard to tell."

Chen Sheng asked: "Is it good or bad?"

Fan Zeng glanced at him helplessly.

My Lord's desire for control is really extraordinary!

He responded: "It should be a good thing!"

Chen Sheng pondered for a few breaths and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to ask... There was too little information, and it was meaningless to draw conclusions based solely on inferences. No matter how much you knew, it was meaningless.

At the right time, a scout came to report that the incoming army had entered the ambush section.

Chen Dao, who was still emphasizing the combat mission with many generals in the rear, immediately said goodbye to Chen Sheng, led dozens of short soldiers, and hurriedly returned to the main formation.

Not long after, there was a burst of chaotic and dense footsteps on the horse path below the mountain forest.

Chen Sheng grabbed the sharp sword leaning against his side and stood up slowly, staring intently at the horse path more than ten feet below.

"Your Majesty!"

Fan Zeng also stood up, took two steps towards him, clasped his hands and said in a low voice: "My Xuanmen has a technique that can be used to open a way. Before your Majesty leads the army to attack, please allow me to use the technique for you to attack the enemy."

."

Chen Sheng glanced at him in surprise, "Attack the enemy? Yes!"

Fan Zeng stood up, as if he felt that he did not explain clearly, and said: "Your Majesty, my Xuanmen disciples do not follow the Tao. They only study skills and do not practice the law. They have no power to change the world. Therefore, the use of magic is to borrow the human way from the Lord."

It depends on luck and needs your approval before it can be carried out."

Human luck?

Are you talking about luck?

Chen Sheng called up the system panel and glanced at the luck bar: 8330 points.

"OK!"

Chen Sheng nodded and said: "I allow you to borrow my luck as a human being!"

Fan Zeng clasped his hands and said, "I will never disappoint you."

Under Chen Sheng's curious gaze, Fan Zeng walked slowly to an open space four or five steps in front of him and stood in an open space, spreading his arms and lifting them up in the air.

The next moment, an illusory black-yellow light and shadow flashed past him.

Extremely fast!

If Chen Sheng hadn't stared at him intently, he could hardly have seen the light and shadow clearly... It seemed to be a round Tai Chi Bagua diagram!

Before he could be surprised, the system panel that had just been put away jumped out of his eyes.
To be continued...
