The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 430 Famous General Pound
"The goal has been achieved, third brother, let you lead the way, and the rest of the soldiers will follow, aiming at Jinyang." Chen Ziming nodded slightly. It is still very easy to rush out.

In the woods outside Jinyang City, there was a mass of black heads, staring fixedly at the city gate not far from the woods. The big man in the lead was Pang De and Pang Lingming, the strong generals of Xiliang.

At this time, the defenders of Jinyang City did not seem to realize that the danger was approaching. The gates of the city were wide open, and the people came in and out. The defenders were lax and defenseless.

It turned out that Chen Ziming used a trick to cover up Chen Cang, and personally led people to Luoyang on the bright side, attracting the attention of Xun Yu and others, so that the unknown but brave Pang De led people to Jinyang quietly.

Pound was brave, capable of leading troops, not to mention his commanding ability, which was even higher than that of Ma Chao. If he hadn't been obscured by Ma Chao's aura, Pound would have been famous all over the world.

Now the few people around Chen Ziming, whether it is Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, or Dian Wei, are all well-known fierce generals in the world. If any of these people lead the team to leave, they will definitely be discovered by Cao Jun's scouts, and Xun Yu doubts.

But Pound, the deputy general, was different. There were quite a few generals at the same level as Pound. It was not easy for Cao Jun to pay attention to Pound's departure. No one even paid attention to whether Pound was with Chen Ziming.

Pound is undoubtedly the best candidate if he is capable and does not arouse suspicion. Immediately, Chen Ziming used the method of dividing the troops to withdraw the Xiliang cavalry brought by Ma Chao from the brigade in batches, and then Pound led them to Jinyang.

Outside Jinyang, at noon, a caravan that was about to enter Jinyang City was stopped by Cao Jun, who seemed to be questioning something, Cao Jun began to look at the goods, everything was normal, after all, such things often happened, caravans entering the city , the soldiers guarding the city will conduct inspections, and the leaders of general caravans will quietly give some hard money, and then they will let them go.

Just when a soldier of Cao Cao was fantasizing about what he would do if he got a reward, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach. At some point, a short sword appeared in the hand of the young man standing in front of him, and it was piercing into his body. .

"kill......"

This was the last word that Cao soldier heard, and then he was silent again.

"kill!"

"Enemy attack!"

The city gate of Jinyang was in chaos in an instant. The grooms and guards who followed the caravan took out their weapons and rushed into the city, and soon took control of the gate of Jinyang city. can succeed.

"kill!!"

Soon, Pang De, who was ambushing outside Jinyang City, brought people to kill him, and rushed into Jinyang City with a large army, waving a big knife left and right, and no one could stop him wherever he went.

The guard of Jinyang City brought people to fight, and they happened to face Pang De who had rushed into the city.Pound can be said to be the second strongest general in Xiliang, and his force is not inferior to that of Ma Chao. He is a mere defender of Jinyang and an unknown soldier. How could he be Pound's opponent? He was beheaded by Pound with one move. Jinyang, and blocked the four gates, only allowed to enter but not to exit.

"General, this person claims to be the Sergeant of Shouyang Mountain, responsible for escorting food and grass to various places."

When he came, Chen Ziming ordered Pound to arrest some officials who could go in and out of Shouyang Mountain after taking Jinyang City, and the Shouyang Mountain Sergeant Cao was one of them. Pound looked at the fat man kneeling in front of him, his eyes As soon as he lit up, he seemed to be thinking about something.

"Can anyone escape?" Pound asked the captain next to him.

"General Qi, before the attack, the four gates of Jinyang were blocked by us, and no one escaped from Jinyang City, but..." The captain said with a little humility: "Jinyang City is looking for you to kill him. The sound spread far away, and the surrounding people may have heard it."

"Can't wait..."

Pang De didn't know well, if the news of their capture of Jinyang City leaked out, countless Cao troops would swarm in, and Shouyang Mountain would also get the news. With all the precautions, it would be almost impossible to capture Shouyang Mountain by then.

"Order the Vanguard Battalion to set off immediately, investigate the enemy's situation, block the road, and don't let anyone report to Shouyang Mountain!"

"You lead five hundred soldiers and horses to guard Jinyang City, and wait for the prime minister to arrive. If anyone in the city resists, shoot them to death!"

"The rest wait, rest for a quarter of an hour, and then go!"

Originally according to Chen Ziming's plan, after Pound captured Jinyang City, he blocked the news, waited for Chen Ziming's army to arrive, and then attacked Shouyang Mountain together, but now the plan has changed, and the news of their attack on Jinyang City is likely to leak out. When he arrived, Cao Jun, who was worried about the surrounding counties, also got the news and sent people to investigate.

At that time, their whereabouts will be exposed, and it will be difficult to sneak attack on Shouyang Mountain. Pang De knows the serious relationship, so he has to take a risk.

In fact, Chen Ziming had already explained that if he failed to attack Jinyang City, or failed to block the news, he immediately gave up his plan to attack Shouyang Mountain, withdrew his troops to join Chen Ziming, then returned to Hangu Pass, and withdrew from Hangu Pass.

But in this way, Chen Ziming's plan will end in failure. At the same time, Cao Cao will wake up, and he will never have the opportunity to sneak attack on such an important place as Shouyang Mountain.

When Chen Ziming learned that Pang De had captured Jinyang City, he hurried over. Unfortunately, it was too late. Pang De had already left with his men. At this time, Jingyang City was surrounded by Cao's troops from surrounding counties and was in danger.

Zhang Fei and Zhang Liao each led a team of cavalry to charge and annihilate the Cao army besieging Jinyang City. Chen Ziming also learned of Pound's plan, sighed, immediately abandoned Jinyang City, and led the army to continue chasing Pound.

"Jinyang City has been lost, Chen Ziming will definitely attack Shouyang Mountain, and order all soldiers and horses to reinforce Shouyang Mountain..."

As soon as Chen Ziming turned his horse's head and stayed away from Luoyang, Xun Yu realized that Chen Ziming's goal was not Luoyang. He came to Luoyang just to confuse them. Only when the food and grass in Shouyang Mountain were destroyed could Cao Cao withdraw his troops.

Xun Yu immediately mobilized soldiers and horses from all over the country to go to Shouyang Mountain, and at the same time handed over the military power to Cao Hong who arrived later. Cao Hong and Mao Jie led the soldiers and horses of the entire Sili Prefecture to chase Chen Ziming, hoping to stop Chen Ziming outside Jinyang City.

It's a pity that Jinyang City was attacked by surprise, and Chen Ziming was a cavalry soldier. Cao Hong had no way to catch up with Chen Ziming's footsteps, so he could only follow Chen Ziming to eat ashes.

"Mr. Wen Ruo's prediction was right. Chen Ziming sent people to attack Jinyang City. Now that Jinyang City has been breached, our plan to attack Chen Ziming outside Jinyang City failed. Chen Ziming has led an army to Shouyang Mountain."

Standing on the Jinyang city tower, Mao Jie looked at the direction of Shouyang Mountain, and began to think in his mind.
