Chapter 195

: Xue Rengui Shenting defeated Chen Jun

On the sixth day of the fourth month of the 15th year of Qianyuan, outside Dingying City, Wang Yanzhang led his troops to stand at the gate of the city to welcome Xue Rengui's army.

"General, the general is here." He Feng, the general under Wang Yanzhang, saw the big flag of the character "Xue" in the distance, and knew that Xue Rengui had arrived, so he said to Wang Yanzhang.

Wang Yanzhang looked up and saw that if it was Xue Rengui, he nodded. When Xue Rengui arrived at the gate of the city, Wang Yanzhang walked forward and bowed, "Wang Yanzhang met with the general. The last general will fulfill his mission and take over Dingying City."

Xue Rengui turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "General Wang doesn't have to be too polite. You defeat Dingying in one battle, and you have achieved the might of our army and have made great contributions."

"The general is wronged, and he is ashamed of the last general." Wang Yanzhang said humbly.

Wang Yanzhang brought Xue Rengui to Dingying County Government. Xue Rengui sat in the main seat and asked Wang Yanzhang: "General Wang, I wonder what is going on with Chen Jun now?" It has been a few days since Wang Yanzhang's surprise attack on Dingying. I believe Chen Cheng has received the news, and Chen Jun cannot do anything.

Wang Yanzhang said: "Return to the general, now 100,000 Chen troops are restrained by the Wei army, and no one can be mobilized, so King Chen can only send 20,000 soldiers stationed in Chencheng for many years to go south. These 20,000 soldiers are the most elite soldiers of Chen State. They are led by Chen Li, the general of the royal family of Chen State, and have now arrived at Pingyu City, the Runan capital."

After hearing this, Xue Rengui smiled disdainfully and said, "The most elite soldiers? Can they be more elite than our army? Chen Li has also heard of this person as a general. He used to be just a playboy, and it is not worth worrying. If it were Xie Xun or Ren Ping, this general might even look up to Chen Jun."

Everyone nodded. They were all stationed in Yingchuan for many years. They knew the Wei and Chen countries bordering Yingchuan. Chen Li was indeed not worth worrying about.

"General, now our army has entered Runan. I wonder what should we do next?" Li Cunxiao asked.

Xue Rengui thought about it, then asked someone to bring up the map, pointing to the map and said, "Now, except for the 20,000 Chen troops stationed in Pingyu, there is no enemy army. Therefore, in order to fight quickly, the general decided to divide his troops."

"Gao Siji obeys the order!" Xue Rengui said.

"The last one is here!" Gao Siji replied.

"I will order you to lead your troops to conquer Xiping, Wufang, Zhuoyang, Shangcai, Yang'an, Langling, Beiyichun, Ancheng, Shenyang and other southern cities in Runan!" Xue Rengui said.

"Here!" Gao Siji replied.

"Wu Yunzhao obeyed the order!"

"The last one is here!" Wu Yun cried out.

"I general ordered you to lead your troops to capture Zhaoling, Yinqiang, and conquer Qiang, Xihua, Ruyang, Nandun, Xiangxian and other northern cities in Runan." Xue Rengui said.

"The other generals will follow this general to Pingyu and meet Chen Li for a while." After dispatching two major armies from north and south, Xue Rengui said again.

"Here!"

When Xue Rengui led the army to leave Dingying, Gao Siji had already captured Shangcai and Zhuoyang, and Wu Yunzhao had also taken Zhaoling. The progress of both armies was very smooth.

At this time, Xue Rengui led 30,000 troops and marched towards Pingyu, less than a hundred miles away from the strategic location outside Pingyu City.

"Report!" A scout came to Xue Rengui and turned over and got off the horse and said, "Report to the general, Chen army general Chen Li led an army of 20,000 to leave Pingyu, and has now lined up in Chenting!"

"Oh? I didn't expect that Chen Li was so brave. I really don't know if he should be said to be very skilled or overestimated." Xue Rengui smiled and said, "Chen Li actually dared to lead troops out of Pingyu and set up the array at Chenting. It was beyond Xue Rengui's expectations. He thought that Chen Li would huddle in Pingyu City when he saw his 30,000 troops.

"Haha, General, don't care. Since Chen Li ran out by himself, we can save us from attacking Pingyu City." Li Cunxiao said nothing. If Chen Li really defended Pingyu City to the death, it would be really difficult for Deng Jun. But now that Chen Jun ran out by himself, it would be easier. Li Cunxiao firmly believes that in the field, there are not many troops that can compete with Deng Jun in the world, and Chen Jun is not here.

Xue Rengui nodded. This is indeed the case. 30,000 to 20,000, of course, it is easier to fight in the field than to attack.

Chen Ting and Chen Jun’s position, Chen Li’s deputy general was still struggling to persuade Chen Li to return to Pingyu City.

"General Chen, Xue Rengui is a famous general of the Deng State, and his troops are above our army. It is really unwise to fight in the field. It's better to quickly return to Pingyu City and take advantage of the city to resist the Deng army." The deputy general persuaded.

At this time, everyone knew that the deputy general made sense, but Chen Li just refused to listen and said disdainfully: "So what about the famous general of Deng State? This general is still a famous general of Chen. What do you know? Chen Ting is on a high ground and is condescending. Moreover, the gap between our army and Deng's army is not big. As long as the two are arranged properly, it is no problem to defeat Deng's army."

"But..." The deputy general also knew that Chen Ting had a good geographical advantage, but the Deng army repeatedly defeated the strong with weak over the years. The Han army and the Wei army had failed in the hands of the Deng army. The deputy general also knew what kind of person Chen Li was. At his level, it was a fool to defeat the 30,000 Deng army with 20,000 troops.

But Chen Li was very determined, waved his hand and said, "No need to say much, I have decided on it. Go and prepare quickly, Deng Jun will arrive soon."

"Oh, here!" The deputy general sighed. Seeing Chen Li's tough attitude, he could only helplessly move on to set up defenses, hoping that a miracle would happen.

Xue Rengui led the army to advance eastward and soon arrived at Chenting. When he saw Chen Jun arraying on the mountain, he said disdainfully: "Haha, it seems that Chen Li is not ignorant and knows to be condescending, but he underestimated me, Xue Rengui."

Chen Li on the mountain saw Xue Rengui arrive, and walked to the front and shouted loudly to Xue Rengui at the foot of the mountain: "Xue Rengui, Chen and Deng are allies, but you are betrayal and take advantage of the situation to rob. When Wei invades our Great Chen, you are trying to catch fish in the waters and steal the land of Runan. Now the general is here, and you will be aware of your appearance and retreat quickly, otherwise today will be your death day next year."

When Xue Rengui heard Chen Li's words, he shook his head helplessly and said, "What an ignorant person, Wang Yanzhang, Li Cunxiao obeyed the order!" Xue Rengui had no intention of talking to Chen Li and directly ordered.

"The last one is here!" Wang Yanzhang and Li Cunxiao responded.

"I ordered you and the other two to lead the troops to attack the mountain, and be sure to defeat the Chen army formation." Xue Rengui said.

"Here!" After receiving the order, the two led their troops out of the line and went to Chen Jun on the mountain.

"Hahaha, Xue Rengui is just like this. I have all the advantages of the territory, but he dares to take the initiative to attack. He really doesn't know how to live or die. The archers are ready! Let it go!" Chen Li on the mountain saw Deng Jun charging at him, laughed and ordered the archers to fire arrows.

But Wang Yanzhang and Li Cunxiao rushed up the mountain like two sharp knives, and at the same time, they used their weapons to knock down the oncoming bows and arrows one by one. Now they are less than fifty steps away from the Chen army's position.

Chen Li felt a little scared when he saw that the two of them were not afraid of bows and arrows and were so brave that they hurriedly stopped Wang Yanzhang and Li Cunxiao.

But who are the two? They are the most powerful generals in the world. How could they be stopped by Chen Jun and other shrimp soldiers and crab generals? Li Cunxiao and Wang Yanzhang rushed into the Chen Jun's position like wolves entering a flock of sheep, disrupting the movements of Chen Jun's archers.

Without the coverage of archers, the Deng army soldiers attacking the mountain rushed up in an instant, and Chen army was beaten to retreat step by step.

At this time, Chen Li finally realized something was wrong. Deng’s army was brave and unstoppable. Chen’s army was about to collapse at the touch. The gap was too big. Chen Li had already regretted it at this moment, but it was too late to retreat, because when Xue Rengui saw that Li Cunxiao and Wang Yanzhang had already attacked, he immediately led his troops to kill him. Li Cunxiao on the mountain took the lead and rushed towards Chen Li directly.

Chen Li was so scared by Li Cunxiao's courage that he was so scared that he stayed motionless, his legs were weak, and he could not react at all if the deputy general urged him.
