Chapter Eleven: Expedition to Ma Teng【Part 2】
"Report~! General Zhang, our army encountered Ma Teng's army ten miles ahead!"
A sentry galloped in front of Zhang Chen on a fast horse from a distance.
"Hazy, we have only been out of Chang'an for two days, why did we encounter Ma Teng's army? Haven't we not left the border of Guanzhong yet? Did I accidentally encounter a surprise attack?" Zhang Chen said to himself.
Some of his lieutenants looked at him as if they were idiots~
Hey, I can’t help it, I’m looking at an idiot again~
Zhang Chen liked to talk to himself no matter what happened in the past two days, and issued orders after being in a daze for a while. If Xu Rong hadn't told them this time to follow Zhang Chen's orders, they would have run back.
"Pass my order. The whole army is divided into three teams. I and the 500 people in the front team will go to check, and the rear team will be on standby!"
"Yes!" Several lieutenants took the order and left...
Why doesn't Zhang Chen look panicked at all?
It turns out that when Zhang Chen was a student, he loved war history very much. His tasks in the special forces camp had given him a lot of experience. Things like chaos in front of the battle line without fighting would not happen.
So, Zhang Chen took 500 Dong Zhuo's elite cavalry to check it out.
...
An hour later, Zhang Chen took cover with 500 troops and watched the team in front of him pass by.
If discovered now, Zhang Chen and his 500 troops would be completely wiped out.
Because they had already hidden their horses in a nearby valley, they just came to check on the military situation.
Zhang Chen looked at the army in front and saw that there were about five thousand men and horses on the other side. They were lined up in two rows and could not be seen to the side at a glance. Their mounts were uniformly wrapped in black cloth. From a distance,
To blend in with the black mountains.
Since they were marching in secret, they did not display any flags, but judging from the color of their uniforms, they were from the cavalry army.
Gray military uniform.
"It seems that the other party is very careful, hehe, very careful, right? I told you to be careful!" Zhang Chen murmured to himself.
After waiting for a full two hours, the five thousand cavalry in front of them finished walking.
"Grass!" Zhang Chen was the first to come out of the grass on the side. He cursed bitterly, waved his hand, and went back with five hundred people.
.......
In the evening, the cavalry army made a surprise attack on the troops. Yan Xing sat on a stone with a look of perseverance on his face, drinking sullen wine.
"Hey, Mr. Yan, what are you doing? Why are you drinking wine alone?" Deputy General Cheng Yi walked up with a flattering look on his face, holding wine and dry food.
"Damn it, don't bother me. If that damn old guy Ma Teng hadn't come to attack Chang'an on a whim, my father-in-law [Han Sui] wouldn't have asked me to surprise this damn Chang'an, and I wouldn't be depressed and alone here.
You're drunk!" Yan Xing looked very angry, his face was red, and he had drank a lot of wine.
Yan Xing is now 31 years old, the son-in-law of Han Sui, and the leader of the five thousand cavalry in the surprise attack on Chang'an.
"Yes, Mr. Yan is right. I can't stand this old horse either. I..."
Cheng Yi wanted to say something else, but a scream accompanied by a thunder startled him.
"Which bastard is yelling? I dragged him up and chopped it up, grass, where else is there thunder?!"
Cheng Yi said angrily.
"No...that's not good, you two adults, go to the woods over there and take a look!" A soldier ran up in a panic, looking panicked.
"What's wrong? Explain it to me clearly? Huh? You fainted, what a fool! I'll come back and chop you down! Let's go, Cheng Yi, take a few brothers with me to go over there and have a look."
