When Chen Deng saw that Han had been fooled, he showed a sinister smile, went down from the tower, and said to Gao Lin below the tower: "Your Majesty, Han Dang has indeed been fooled. Please be prepared, Your Majesty."
Gao Lin said: "I'll leave everything to Mr. Chen."
After finishing speaking, Gao Lin turned around and walked into the city with a few cavalrymen, handing over everything here to Chen Deng.
Chen Deng had people open the city gate and personally led the people in the city to welcome Han Dang into the city. Han Dang was naturally overjoyed and did not pay any more attention. Moreover, the scout reported that the Huaxia army had withdrawn for a long time, so he allowed one of his troops to enter the city.
All ten thousand troops entered the city.
After entering the city, the Wu army officers and soldiers were arranged to the barracks, and Chen Deng personally took Han Dang into the prefect's mansion and prepared a banquet to entertain these Wu soldiers.
In the prefect's house, Chen Deng and Han Dang exchanged greetings for a while. While urging them to drink, they scolded the Chinese army for their unkindness, and got Han Dang, who had a heavy drinker, drunk.
In the middle of the night, Han Dang woke up and found himself tied up in a dungeon. Not knowing why, he started howling wildly in the dungeon. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not break the iron chains tied to his body.
Not long after, Gao Lin, Guo Jia, Chen Deng and others entered the dungeon. Seeing Han Dang roaring there, Gao Lin sneered and said, "You don't have to struggle anymore, no matter how hard you struggle,
It's all to no avail, this iron rope is specially made to lock you, unless you have three heads and six arms, you can't even think of breaking out of here."
When Han Dang saw Chen Deng, he cursed loudly: "Chen Yuanlong, how dare you do this to me?"
"Everything is because you are too stupid and believe me too easily. Except for what you think, all the 10,000 cavalry you brought with you were captured and are now imprisoned in the barracks." Chen Deng said.
Han Dang regretted deeply and regretted that he had believed Chen Deng's words, but no matter how much trouble he made now, it would not help.
Outside, Zhang Xiong, the lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy, came in, clasped his fists and said, "Generalissimo, Lieutenant, join the army. The scouts are here to report that Sun Ce, the Emperor of Wu, is leading an army of 40,000 horse and infantry towards Shouchun City. Wherever he passes, the counties are watching.
Surrender, we are now less than forty miles away from this city."
"Hahaha... Your doom is coming. Our Majesty will march in person and kill all of you cats and dogs. Just wait!" Han Dang laughed loudly after hearing this.
Gao Lin also laughed, put his hands together, clenched his fists tightly, turned around and said: "You've come just in time, let's pass on the order, everyone is ready, this time we must defeat the emperor of Wu!"
"
After the words fell, everyone left the dungeon. Although Han Dang was still roaring there, he couldn't get out no matter what, so he could only curse: "You despicable people can't win with force. If you have the ability, let me out.
Let's fight one on one..."
"The man inside is too noisy. Cut out his tongue!" Gao Lin said to the cell leader when he walked out of the cell door.
The prison head nodded, immediately walked into the dungeon with a few jailers, and began to do as Gao Lin said.
In fact, this strategy had already been prepared. Chen Deng asked his soldiers to place a pile of dry firewood in the woods outside the city every fifty steps, and then assigned a soldier to guard it, agreed on a time, and then lit it together. The firewood outside Shouchun City
Preparations have been made on all three sides, just waiting for the arrival of Wu Jun.
An hour later, Sun Ce, wearing golden armor, holding a golden spear, and an extremely strong horse on his hip, arrived at the foot of Shouchun City with an army of 40,000 men. He saw the high ground above Shouchun City.
The military flag of the State of Wu was hung, the lights on the tower were brightly lit, and the soldiers standing there were all generals of the State of Wu, so I felt extremely satisfied.
Then, the suspension bridge was lowered and the city gate slowly opened at this time. Chen Deng came out with some soldiers wearing Wu military uniforms and lined up at the city gate, while celebrating music was played.
Sun Ce looked around, but did not see Han Dang, so he felt a little doubt in his heart. He turned around and said to Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Lu Fan, Zhu Zhi and others: "I came in person, but General Han did not come to greet him.
I don’t know anyone, has something happened to General Han?”
Zhu Zhi said: "Your Majesty, there are less than five thousand Chinese troops in Shouchun City. The scouts clearly saw General Han leading the army into the city, and General Han also sent scouts to report to Your Majesty that Shouchun City has been captured. Just one
At this time, even if the Chinese army wanted to attack this city, it would not be possible so quickly. You must know that General Han leads all elite soldiers."
"Han Danghaojiu, could he be drunk?" Lu Fan suddenly remembered this incident and interjected.
"No. Although Han Dang is a drinker, he is very generous. Knowing that Your Majesty has not yet entered the city, he will not get drunk. Your Majesty, please rest here for a while, and I will lead a small group of cavalry to ask for clarification." Cheng Pu said quickly.
Holding an iron-spine snake spear, he rode forward with fifty cavalry behind him.
Sun Ce and others stayed there quietly, waiting for what would happen after Cheng Pu asked.
Cheng Pu led his men to ride their horses to the suspension bridge, reined in the horses and stopped walking forward. When he saw Chen Deng, he asked, "Who are you?"
"My Excellency, Chen Deng, whose courtesy name is Yuanlong, has been entrusted by General Han to welcome His Majesty and other generals into the city." Chen Deng replied.
"Chen Yuanlong? But Chen Yuanlong from Xiapi?" Cheng Pu couldn't help being shocked when he heard Chen Deng's name. Chen Yuanlong had a great reputation in Shouchun, and was also well-known in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou and Yuzhou.
"It's me."
Cheng Pu looked around. With sharp eyes, he saw that the soldiers behind Chen Deng had a fierce look on their faces. He already had some doubts in his heart and said to Chen Deng: "Your Majesty is outside. Please come to the front, Mr. Yuan Long."
meet."
Chen Deng saw Cheng Pu's caution and knew that the plan to lure the enemy deeper had been exposed. He immediately retreated and waved his hand. The soldiers behind him drew out their repeating crossbows and pointed at the fifty soldiers brought by Cheng Pu.
A cavalryman fired indiscriminately.
Cheng Pu was on guard for a long time. When Chen Deng retreated, he turned his horse away and changed the direction. He was able to escape the disaster. Unfortunately, the fifty soldiers behind him were all shot on their backs by the suspension bridge.
Half dead and half wounded.
"Your Majesty, there is an ambush!" Cheng Pu hurriedly ran back, shouting loudly as he walked.
Chen Deng and others immediately retreated slowly. At the same time, the soldiers in the city also pulled up the suspension bridge. After Chen Deng and others returned to the city, they closed the city gate.
After Sun Ce outside the city heard Cheng Pu's words, he raised his golden spear high. The soldiers behind him immediately rushed forward, and then formed an array in the open space outside the city in a very regular manner. At the same time, the soldiers pushed out
The catapults used for siege were set up there, aiming at the city wall, ready to attack at any time.
In Shouchun City, Gao Lin, Guo Jia, and Chen Deng climbed up the city wall and saw Wu Guo setting up an siege formation outside. The torches were also raised one by one, shining brightly on the outside of the moat.
Gao Lin turned around and said: "Wu's army is about to attack the city. You stay in the city while I lead the army to fight..."
Seeing that Gao Lin was about to leave, Guo Jia hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Gao Lin's left arm, shook his head and said: "Although the Wu army has come a long way, their morale is strong, and the fatigue of the soldiers and horses does not seem to be obvious.
If we fight head-on with the Wu army at this time, I am afraid we will suffer heavy losses. Our army is small and we cannot fight head-on with them."
"Otherwise, the Wu army has come from afar and is eager to fight. If our army does not fight, it will be laughed at by the Wu army. The king is invincible. He only needs to lead a cavalry to rush out of the city, attack the enemy camp with lightning speed, and
If the enemy troops are fighting together, I will have a way to make the enemy troops retreat." Chen Deng held the opposite opinion and suggested that Gao Lin should be allowed to fight.
Guo Jiadao: "No, Wu's army is powerful. It is best to hold on and wait until the morale of Wu's army is low before leaving the city to fight."
Chen Deng retorted: "We are fighting at night. Although the Wu army is large in number, its line of sight is blocked. As the emperor of Wu in time, he can only command more than a thousand soldiers around him. If the king can lead an army to attack the enemy,
If the camp is formed, they can run rampant and disrupt the enemy camp first. Although the Wu army is large in number, due to the night
With the thick cover, the rear army will definitely not move. What's more, the Wu army thought that our army did not dare to fight, so they set up a position to attack the city. If our army starts to decisively fight now, the Wu army must think that our army has been prepared for a long time. In order to prevent the left and right forces from attacking,
, the three armies in the rear fell into chaos, and they will inevitably order the three armies not to act without authorization, but to focus on the front and middle armies to meet the enemy."
"The Wu army has a large number. Even if it is only the front army and the middle army to meet the enemy, they will definitely be able to surround the king's troops. If the king makes any mistake, what should be done?" Guo Jia said worriedly.
Chen Dengze retorted confidently: "Master Taiwei, you and the king asked me to come out just to deal with Sun Ce's strength. I have a retreat strategy now, but you don't adopt it. If you continue like this, you won't wait until daybreak."
, my strategy won’t work.”
Gao Lin thought for a while, then turned to Chen Deng and said: "Sir, in this battle, Gao Lin has put all his wealth and life on you. If he wins, Gao Lin will definitely treat you kindly in the future. If he loses, Gao Lin will
I won't let you go easily."
Chen Deng said: "If your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can kill me now. Yuan Long said exactly what he said. Since he promised your Majesty, he will not regret it."
"Okay, I believe in you." Gao Lin turned around and said to Guo Jia: "Teacher, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. This is the story you told me back then. Today, I put all my life in Mr. Chen's hands.
"Sir, if anything happens to me, please don't be rude to Mr. Chen. This is all my idea and has nothing to do with Mr. Chen."
Guo Jia sighed first, and then nodded heavily. After hearing this, Chen Deng felt warm in his heart. He could not express his trust in Gao Lin in words.
"Take care, I'm going." Gao Lin went down from the tower, ordered a thousand elite cavalry, and asked Ma Dai, Gan Xiaoning, and Guo Huai to accompany him, leaving Zhang Xiong and Zang Ai to assist Guo Jia and Chen Deng to defend the city.
"Put down the suspension bridge and open the city gate!" Gao Lin waved the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand and shouted loudly.
