A few days later, Cheng Zhiyuan led 40,000 troops and finally arrived at Zhuo County. After learning from Deng Mao's mistakes, although Cheng Zhiyuan was eager to break through the city, he did not travel more than 50 miles a day to ensure that the army could maintain combat status at all times.
At the prefect's residence, everyone gathered to discuss the troops.
Although it was a military meeting, it was basically waiting for Lin Chuan to speak. With the previous experience, Liu Yan knew what the morale of the army was. Even the five thousand soldiers in the city were calling for Lin Chuan to go into battle.
Liu Bei had a lot of tactics in his mind, but no one asked him. If he asked, he might be pressed to the ground by Lin Chuan if he made a mistake. Therefore, he learned his lesson this time and did not dare to speak.
"The scouts have reported that Cheng Zhiyuan's 40,000 strong army has already reached 15 miles outside Zhuo County.”
Liu Yan looked at Lin Chuan expectantly. This was the battle of life and death for Zhuo County. As long as they could survive this crisis, Zhuo County would be at peace for a long time.
Lin Chuan took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly,
"Surround them."
After hearing this, everyone's expression was like this:
Liu Yan: o((⊙ ⊙))o
Zou Jing was speechless.
Liu Bei:
"Brother, are you joking? In addition, the White Robe Army only had 6000 men in Zhuo County, and Cheng Zhiyuan had 40,000. How could they surround him?”
Liu Yan smiled awkwardly and almost spat out the tea in her mouth. She wondered if her brother had drunk too much last night and still hadn't woken up.
Time was tight, and Lin Chuan didn't want to waste any more time. He walked up and explained his strategy on the sand table.
There were no problems at the beginning, but in the end, Pei Yuanqing, Zhao Yun, and Zou Jing objected in unison,
"No way. If we go deep into the enemy's rear alone with only so few people, we will have a slim chance of survival. If my lord and brother must do this, then let me lead the troops.”
Even Liu Yan was worried and tried to persuade him. How could Liu Bei let go of this opportunity? Naturally, he followed suit.
"Don't worry, the person who can catch me hasn't been born yet. It's decided.”
Seeing that Lin Chuan had made up his mind, everyone could only agree helplessly.
Two hours later, Cheng Zhiyuan's 40,000-strong army arrived at the city gates. They were divided into four square formations, with three in the front and one at the back as backup. Cheng Zhiyuan was in the middle as the commander.
Five thousand men had already gathered at the city gate. Zou Jing and Liu Guanzhang stood in front of them, forming a stalemate.
"Hahaha, stupid thing, you actually didn't guard the city gate and ran out to die. That would save me the trouble of attacking!”
Cheng Zhiyuan sat on his horse and laughed mockingly. The Yellow Turban bandits beside him also laughed along. They laughed from the bottom of their hearts because the faster the battle ended, the faster they could enter the city to enjoy themselves.
"Brothers, avenge Deng Mao! Charge!”
With Cheng Zhiyuan's order, both sides began to clash.
However, the five thousand men seemed a little thin in front of the black mass of forty thousand men.
Almost at the same time, on the left side of the Yellow Turban Army, a young man holding a silver hammer in both hands suddenly rushed out with 500 white-robed soldiers and shouted,"
"I am the Silver Hammer Guardian Pei Yuanqing. Thieves, die!”
Rumble!
Under the Yellow Turban Army's strategy, a pair of silver hammers smashed a large number of the Yellow Turban soldiers who had been joking earlier.
The white-robed soldiers followed closely behind. Their spear formation danced, their armors flew, and blood poured out. They easily broke through a ten-thousand-man square formation.
On the right, another youth led a few hundred white-robed soldiers and charged at the army, brandishing his silver spear.
"I am Zhao Zilong from Chang Mountain.”
When the Jade Lion approached the Yellow Turban square formation, it jumped into the crowd. The bright silver spear released Army Obliteration, and seven or eight heads flew more than three meters high.
Pei Yuanqing and Zhao Yun's movements in the midst of the army caused Zou Jing's 5,000 soldiers to be dumbfounded. Even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were proud of the world, were amazed.
As for Pei Yuanqing, the two of them only knew that he was very strong. As for Zhao Yun, they only estimated that he was outstanding in martial arts. They never expected that the two of them had reached such a realm.
Liu Bei's eyes were shining. He was most envious of Pei Yuanqing. After all, he had been following Lin Chuan since the beginning. It was not easy to poach him.
However, for Zhao Yun, he was filled with regret. In theory, he was still unfamiliar with Lin Chuan. He blamed himself for being too anxious and losing such a fierce general. His heart ached, his heart ached.
Not only these two, but the performance of the white-robed soldiers had also broadened his horizons. They were definitely the top of the cavalry. He was afraid that even the white horses might not be as good as them.
"It's just a few hundred cavalrymen. Don't panic!”
At first, Cheng Zhiyuan thought that there was an ambush. When he saw that there were less than a thousand people, he quickly called his subordinates to stabilize their position.
"Left vanguard, take 5,000 men and destroy Pei Yuanqing!”
"Right Forward, take 5,000 men and take Zhao Zilong's head!”
"Understood!"
Zhao Yun and Pei Yuanqing had thrown Cheng Zhiyuan's formation into chaos. Zou Jing was about to step forward to help according to Lin Chuan's instructions, but Liu Bei stopped him,"
"Commandant Zou, do you want to wait a little longer? If the two of them can attract more of Cheng Zhiyuan's soldiers, my second and third brothers will be able to charge in and kill the commander.”
Liu Bei was indeed persistent. Even at this point, he still hoped that he would act out the act of saving the other party in a crisis to gain a good impression and achieve the goal of poaching him.
Of course, if he could kill Cheng Zhiyuan himself, it would be a huge contribution.
"Liu Bei! I don't care if you're related to the royal family or not. If you ruin Brother Lin's plan, aren't you afraid that he'll kill you when he comes back?!”
Zou Jing was furious and shouted with a red face.
Upon hearing Lin Chuan's name, Liu Bei immediately became dispirited."Alright, alright. Brothers, charge!”
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led 500 cavalrymen and charged at Cheng Zhiyuan. The Green Dragon Crescent Blade and the Eight-Foot Snake Spear opened up a bloody path, but the 500 cavalrymen they led were far inferior to the White Robe Army in terms of equipment and combat ability, resulting in their speed being slow.
In fact, Liu Bei had already instructed the two of them last night to take Cheng Zhiyuan's head. If they missed this chance, they would not have a third chance.
Seeing that his 30,000-man army was being beaten up by the 6,000-man army, Cheng Zhiyuan was so angry that his face turned red. He shouted hysterically,
"Hold on for me, you bunch of trash, kill them all!”
(Sorry, I had something to do today, so the update was late, but there will be four more.)
