Chapter 213 (1/2)
”Newspaper --!” A sergeant quickly came to Chen Ren and said, ”governor! Hanzhong city is already ahead of us! ”
Chen Ren looked ahead. A magnificent city was standing on the horizon. Chen Ren took a deep breath, nodded and said, ”very good! Order the whole army! Attack Hanzhong City! But don't hurt innocent people more! ” After several days of thinking, Chen Ren still couldn't find a way to get Zhang Lu to agree to the three ways in one. Now that he is outside Hanzhong City, he can't delay any more. He has to take Hanzhong first. However, according to the historical records of Zhang Lu, he should be a rare ruler who was diligent and devoted to the people. If he could not hurt the lives of the common people, he might be able to get some favor from the other side.
”Here it is The sergeant went down. Soon, with the sound of a horn, LV Meng set out from the right with 10000 people, Hezi with 10000 people from the left, and Chen Ren led 30000 people to march toward Hanzhong City.
Thanks to this forest, Shandao camp was not found several miles away from Hanzhong City. But even so, after all, it was not a short distance. By the time Shandao camp attacked the city, the gate of Hanzhong had been closed tightly. However, Chen Ren had prepared a lot of ladders before he attacked the city. Now he was caught off guard by surprise. When the defenders in Hanzhong city had no time, he put up the ladder and directly attacked the city.
One after another, a cloud ladder was built on the wall, and the soldiers from the Shandao camp also climbed to the head of the city. Just before the soldiers of Shandao camp were about to climb up the city head, countless soldiers flashed out of the city. All the soldiers were holding bows and arrows at the soldiers of Shandao camp. At the next moment, those arrows flew out directly. Fortunately, the soldiers of Shandao camp were good at defense, and they raised their round shields to resist the arrows. After this round of flying arrows, Shandao camp lost only about 100 people.
It seems that the garrison of Hanzhong City has arrived, and the speed is still very fast! The pupil of Chen Ren's eyes suddenly contracted. This is just a normal battle round of attacking and guarding the city, but Chen Ren is smelling a trace of abnormal smell!
Several soldiers from Shandao camp on the top of the city had climbed up, but they were soon lost because they were outnumbered. Chen Ren's mouth twitched, and suddenly raised his hand and called out, ”Shandao camp! Retreat
Retreat? The soldiers around Chen Ren looked at Chen Ren suspiciously. The new army had fought so many battles and had never retreated like this! However, Chen Ren's prestige in the new army was not so high. With Chen Ren's military orders issued, the soldiers of Shandao camp quickly withdrew from the wall. They raised their shields to resist the arrows flying down from the head of the city.
At the head of the city, there were almost full of defenders, at least more than 10000 people. Except for the archers in the front row, the other soldiers had bright knives in their hands. Among these soldiers, a general in high-grade armor punched his fist in frustration and looked at the mountain sword camp retreating like the tide under the wall, swearing.
At this time, outside the city, LV Meng and He Qi all arrived at Chen Ren's side. LV Meng asked anxiously, ”governor! Why suddenly ordered to withdraw! Brothers are about to rush to the head of the city
Chen Ren looked at the city with a frown and said, ”something is wrong! Don't you think the defenders are coming too fast? And they are all so well prepared. You see, the front of the garrison at the head of the city is clear. This is obviously a long time ago Listening to Chen Ren's words, both of them looked at the city head, as Chen Ren said.
”Governor!” Lu Meng quickly asked, ”is there a trick in this?”
Chen Ren nodded and said, ”very likely! Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case! Go! Withdraw With a big move, he ordered the retreat of Shandao camp, and LV Meng and He Qi also followed with their troops.
The sergeant next to the general at the head of the city asked the general, ”little general! The enemy is going to withdraw! ”
The general's face was gloomy and said with a grim smile: ”it's worthy of being the first general in the world, but even if you see something, it's already too late! Come on! Go and blow the horn now
”Here it is The sergeant immediately clasped his fist, then turned around and withdrew. Before long, bursts of intensive drums sounded, and the drums immediately spread all over the battlefield outside the city.
