"Lord, there's a fight at the west gate. Are we going to defend here?" Outside the east gate, they watched Chu Nan direct the soldiers to dig trenches and build barriers. From time to time, he even took the field in person, using his words and tactics.
Help, this left Wei Yan speechless. He had worked hard to build a career.
"Don't worry, Chief Wen. It's probably me who will break the city first." Chu Nan called Zhou Cang to supervise the work. He looked at Wei Yan and said with a smile, "Didn't you see that Chen Deng and Sun Ce are all at the southwest gate?
We don’t have many generals stationed here.”
"So now is the time to attack!" Wei Yan was even more puzzled. He originally thought that Chu Nan didn't see it, but now it seems that Chu Nan has seen the opponent's flaw. Why is he still digging ravines here leisurely?
Build barriers?
This is the first time I see the siege team fighting for defense. Is it possible that they still expect the defenders to come out?
"If we have nothing to do, let's discuss the method of attacking the city with the general. I am a beginner in the art of war. If there is something wrong, the chief editor will just say that." Chu Nan chuckled.
"I don't dare." Wei Yan said quickly.
Chu Nan waved his hand and said: "I don't understand the art of war, but I know people's hearts. Now that the opponent is fighting for the first time, it is the time to go all out, and it is also the time when the wariness is strongest. If our army takes action now, the opponent will definitely send a general.
, Although we can gain an advantage in this way, it will be difficult to break through the city. We have established defenses at this time. If those people in Jiangdong want to break out, they are more likely to break out here. Does Wen Chang think so?"
Wei Yan nodded. Indeed, the south gate is occupied by Lu Bu, and the west gate is occupied by Chen Gong and Gao Shun. The most famous people under Lu Bu's command are basically on those two sides. It seems that Chu Nan's side is naturally the weakest.
"Secondly, they are still wary at this time, but if our army is only building defense here, do you think they will focus on it here?" Chu Nan asked again.
Wei Yan shook his head. When the war was tight, there was no way to disperse the force. The attack must be fierce and there would be more people.
"General, I understand." Wei Yan nodded. Although Chu Nan's strategy did not suit him, Chu Nan's method was not wrong.
"Go and prepare. When it's time to take action, you lead the team. If we can break the city first, the credit will definitely be yours." Chu Nan patted Wei Yan on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Lord!" Wei Yan couldn't hide the joy on his face and saluted Chu Nan.
"You look much younger recently." Chu Nan looked at Wei Yan and smiled.
"My life has improved a lot, and my wife's condition is getting better day by day. I have to thank you, my lord." Wei Yan chuckled.
"Let's prepare for the battle. If you win this battle, you will be rewarded. I will help you look after a house." Chu Nan nodded and smiled. After Wei Yan's family and Huang Zhong's family moved in, they felt that the house suddenly became a lot more crowded. This battle
After the fight, both of them had made great achievements. It was time to go out and live together. He still liked the two-person world with his wife.
"Here!" Wei Yan left with a happy face.
"My lord, then general..." Huang Zhong had been eavesdropping. When he saw that Wei Yan had a task to attack the city, but he had not arranged it, he immediately ran to find Chu Nan.
"It is up to Chief Wen to destroy the city, but there is a more important thing that requires the general to come over." Chu Nan Surong said.
"Please give me your orders, my lord!" Huang Zhong saluted Chu Nan.
"Intercept the generals from Jiangdong." Chu Nansurong said: "This small town of Dongyang cannot be defended for a long time. If I were that Sun Ce, I would definitely try to break out. It is not easy to seize the city, but if I can keep all these generals from Jiangdong here,
In the future, we will cross the river south and seize Jiangdong with ease. I think the general is not as brave as my father-in-law, but he is not far behind. If we attack now, the other side will be on guard. It is better to show weakness to the enemy and wait for the enemy to break through.
At this time, the general is a rare soldier. He stopped and killed all the Jiangdong generals in one battle. This is a great achievement. I wonder if the old general is willing to accept it?"
"Thank you, Lord!" Upon hearing this, Huang Zhong bowed to Chu Nan and left with satisfaction.
"Lord, then general..." Zhou Cang said hehey after seeing the two people leaving, approaching Chu Nan.
"When the enemy breaks out, you and my wife will cooperate with General Huang to intercept the Jiangdong generals." Chu Nan looked at him and said casually.
After doing this calculation, it seems that our side has the most talents.
"Here!" Zhou Cang nodded quickly, turned around and left.
"Where are you going?" Chu Nan stopped Zhou Cang and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"The general will prepare for war." Zhou Cang looked at Chu Nan.
"Then I will supervise the work here?" Chu Nan pointed to the surrounding fortifications.
"But we are about to prepare for war."
"You have less than a hundred men, how long do you need to prepare for war?" Chu Nan glared and said, "Hurry up and do the work, don't think about being lazy."
Pei Yuanshao is under Wei Yue, and Huang Zhong and Wei Yan on his side have gone to prepare for the war. Zhou Cang is the only one who can be used. With them all gone, do you really expect to do it all by yourself?
"Then my lord... just give me more soldiers." Zhou Cang muttered. With similar military positions, how come Wei Yan and Huang Zhong each have a battalion, and they are still full of battalions, but he doesn't even have a hundred men under his command.
"It's really embarrassing for the general to serve as my bodyguard." Chu Nan patted Zhou Cang on the shoulder.
"Don't be embarrassed, the general will be willing." Zhou Cang raised his chest.
"I'll give you two thousand men and the nine secrets of the imperial army. As long as you can display one secret, I will let you lead a battalion like them." Chu Nan threw a command flag to Zhou Cang: "Now go and get the people.
"
Zhou Cang looked at the command flag in his hand and then at Chu Nan. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "General, I'd better go and supervise the work."
His family knew his own affairs. In the past, when there were about 200 people in the village, his fire secret was sometimes unable to be used. With 2,000 people... it was somewhat difficult for people.
"If you want to lead an army, I can teach you the art of war. But on the battlefield, the lives of these three armies are all in your hands. As a general, you should be responsible for their lives. You can die in battle. There is no one who can't die in a battle."
, but it can’t be because the general is incompetent, let alone because I employ people improperly.” Chu Nan said seriously.
"But my lord, you are also good at Feng Zi secret." Zhou Cang whispered.
"That's why I asked Generals Wen Chang and Han Sheng to lead the troops. When did you see me leading the troops to charge and kill!?" Chu Nan was furious. The little guard became more and more impudent: "Besides, how long have I been learning the art of war? Feng
I am already a proficient calligrapher, what about you? After this battle is over, go back and memorize the "Six Tao" for me first!"
This is really not his fault. He used Fengzi Secret. Now Wei and Yue can't catch up with him. As long as they are on the road, he can lead any number of soldiers and horses.
Zhou Cang's face turned bitter when he heard this. It's okay to let him kill people, but if he wants his endorsement... Well, it's better to supervise the work. Leading the troops is the most troublesome.
"Monster ant, dig deeper for me!" There was no way to lose his temper with Chu Nan, so he could only vent his anger towards Chu Nan's pet. When he saw the demon ant coming to see him, he immediately cursed: "It's what I eat every day."
There are more than me, and you can’t even do anything!”
The demon ant shook his fist at him, ignored him, and continued to direct his army of ants to dig gullies and traps.
"Hmph!" Zhou Cang glanced at the demon ant and ran over to look at the demon mantis instead of being as knowledgeable as this beast.
On the east gate of Dongyang, looking at the busy construction site outside the city, Chen Ying frowned slightly: "The enemy is not attacking the city, but they are building barriers. Why?"
The other Guangling generals shook their heads in confusion, who knows.
Chen Ying stood at the top of the city and watched for a long time, not knowing what kind of medicine the other party was selling in the gourd. As time passed, he saw that the other party was only building fortifications, and his guard became much more relaxed. He called a general and said: "The west gate and the south gate
How is the war going?"
"Chen Gong at the west gate is sending troops to attack the city fiercely, but the people in Jiangdong are very capable and have blocked it several times. From the south gate, Lu Bu sent people to provoke and shoot arrows from time to time, trying to lure our troops out of the city to attack." General Guangling bowed.
Shen Dao.
Although Lu Bu conquered the world bravely, he could not forcefully break the city wall when faced with hundreds of Confucian scholars. It seemed that for a while, the city could not be broken, but there was no way around it.
"You are on alert here. Remember, no matter how provocative the other side is, you must not go out of the city to fight, lest you be ambushed." Chen Ying was about to go to the south gate to take a look.
"Here!" the general agreed.
Chen Ying immediately left the west gate and went to the south gate to watch the movement.
"Bang~"
As soon as he arrived at the south gate, he saw a sharp arrow shot from the bottom of the city. The sharp arrow shot directly through the forehead of a Confucian scholar who stood up to watch, and with the remaining force, he was nailed to the top of the city tower.
Then another arrow shot out, nailing another soldier to death!
Chen Ying was so frightened that he crouched down quickly.
"Don't raise your head!" In the distance, Chen Deng and Chen Gui, their father and son, squatted on the ground and shouted to everyone.
"Father, brother!" Chen Ying quickly walked over awkwardly, looked at Chen Gui and Chen Deng and said, "Why is this?"
"Lu Bu's archery skills are extraordinary and he has already killed several Confucian scholars in our army. This military formation cannot guard against that reckless man's arrows!" Chen Gui sighed.
Lu Bu's arrows are a bit unreasonable and can penetrate the military formation directly. Although the power is greatly reduced, ordinary people cannot withstand it. Several Confucian scholars who do not believe in evil have been killed by Lu Bu's arrows. Now the soldiers on the city top,
As long as you dare to show your head, Lu Bu's arrows will come.
Chen Deng also wanted to organize people to fight back, but Lu Bu saw that the cavalry could not attack the city, so he led his people up to the Eight Gate City and shot at them from the air. The six chapters high city wall was higher than the Dongyang City wall, and their arrows could not hit it.
However, Lu Bu's arrows could easily hit them. The Eight Gate City was originally designed to deal with Lu Bu, but now it was Lu Bu who attacked them. Chen Deng wanted to bury the Eight Gate City back to the ground, but for some reason, he and
Even with Chen Gui's combined efforts, they can no longer send Bamen City back to the ground!
Even the military formation could not stop Lu Bu's arrows, so they could only hide like this.
"Brother, in the small town of Dongyang, there is no way to stop Lu Bu. Even if we defend the city today, I'm afraid it won't last long. It's better to think of a way out early." Chen Ying said in a deep voice.
Chen Gui and Chen Deng sighed in their hearts when they heard this. The Chen family's ancestral property and family members are all in Guangling. What will happen if they leave? You don't need to think carefully to know that after this battle, the Chen family's land will be taken away by Lu Bu, and the property will also be taken away by him.
It is used to win over people's hearts, but if they don't leave, as Chen Ying said, a small city like Dongyang may not be able to defend it for long.
"Anyway, let's hold on for today and wait until night. We will discuss with General Sun later." Chen Gui sighed. Now that Lu Bu is here to break out, it is tantamount to seeking death. The only way is to block this wave of siege first, and then try to escape after nightfall.
Dongyang.
"Here!"
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
One thing I still don’t understand is why many brothers think Chen Deng is weak? Sun Ce attacked Guangling several times but was repelled by Chen Deng. When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, Chen Deng directly led the Guangling army to Xiapi. He first followed
Even if Lu Bu fought against the top group, Chen Deng should be on the same level as Xu Shu. Why do so many brothers just treat him as second-rate?
