The next morning, it was still dawn, and Zhuge Liang came to the Central Army tent. After rummaging through the boxes and cabinets for a while, he actually found a piece of women's clothing!

Zhuge Liang's cold sweat suddenly came down. After a while, he quickly sent someone to the Linzi city walls and wrote a letter and gave it to Yan Liang by name.

When Yan Liang received the women's clothing, he was so angry that he almost exploded. He didn't know that Tian Feng and others immediately led 10,000 soldiers and rushed out of the city gate in anger.

The news of the enemy coming to call out the camp immediately came to the camp. The sentry beat the gongs and drums, and Chen Mang's army immediately started to operate.

Chen Mang was woken up in his sleep, but his face was not washed. He walked out of the camp with a gloomy expression with a hint of aroused aura.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao hurried forward and said, "Lord, don't worry, Liao will kill the guy in front of the formation for the lord!"

Chen Mang reached out and grabbed it. The three-pointed two-edged sword on the weapon stand flew into his hand and said coldly: "No need, lord, I'll go and kill him in person!"

Looking at Chen Mang's gloomy face, which was about to drip out of water, Zhuge Liang covered his face and smiled secretly, then led Chen Mang's war horse over, handed the reins to Chen Mang, and raised his face and said, "I wish the lord a victory in the flag and return triumphantly!"

Chen Mang glanced at Zhuge Liang, rode his horse, waved his three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand, and led three thousand soldiers to the battlefield in front of Linzi City.

Looking across from afar, ten thousand Yuan soldiers were lined up in front of the city gate, most of whom were in disarray, and some did not even bring weapons. Only the rows of soldiers in front were dressed neatly, and they raised their halberds in their hands to wait for the battle.

A powerful general held a big sword in his hand, with a big waist and a round waist, with a swallow chin and a tiger beard, and was riding a horse in front of the formation, shouting loudly: "Chun Mang, come out and get to die!"

Chen Mang urged him to step forward, and stopped twenty feet in front of Yan Liang. He raised his three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand: "Come and General Ming, my subordinates will not kill Wuming!"

Yan Liang shouted: "I am Yan Liang, General of Hebei!"

Chen Mang shouted in a lion-like voice: "I can't hear it! I still want to fight for generals with such a low voice?"

Yan Liang walked forward a few feet in anger and shouted: "I am Yan Liang, General of Hebei!"

Chen Mang's thunderous voice sounded, which made Yuan Bing's ears buzz in front of him: "I still can't hear it, louder!"

Yan Liang gritted his teeth and stepped forward again: "I am Hebei..."

Chen Mang looked at Yan Liang who was within ten feet of his body, and a sneer appeared on his face. He raised his sword and fell. A sword shadow more than ten feet long flashed by, instantly cutting Yan Liang's head!

Looking at Yan Liang's head flying high, the Yuan army's soldiers were stunned. Before they could come back to their senses, Chen Mang had already led his soldiers in the personal guard camp to rush up and swept out with a knife. The two rows of halberd soldiers at the front of the general's formation were cut into two pieces in half!

"kill!"

Under Chen Mang's leadership, the three thousand guards rushed into the Yuan army like arrows. Under the cover of military power, Yuan soldiers were all scared and quickly turned around and ran towards the city.

At this time, Tian Feng, Yuan Tan and others had already received the news that Yan Liang had led his troops to fight without authorization, and hurried to the city wall to watch the battle.

Seeing Yan Liang being killed by Chen Mang using a trick, Ju Su smashed the city wall with his fist in grief and ordered with a ferocious look on his face: "Snap the arrow quickly! Order people to close the city gate immediately!"

Tian Feng said anxiously: "But the soldiers have not come back yet!"

Ju Su shouted angrily: "Woman's kindness! Close the door quickly, don't let Chen Mang rush across the moat!"

Yuan Tan quickly sent an order, and the city gate wrapped in thick iron sheet creaked down, and even the suspension bridge was closed.

Seeing this, Yuan Bing, who was fleeing, jumped into the moat, swam forward, and climbed up through the ropes thrown by the soldiers on the city wall.

Chen Mang had already led his troops to the moat at this time, and found that his soldiers were forced back by arrows. He danced the long sword in his hand into a round shield, pushed away the arrows shot in front of him, and shouted loudly on the city wall: "You are surrounded by me, put down your weapons and surrender quickly, otherwise when I break the city, I will strip you all naked and parade!"

Seeing that Chen Mang was alone and dared to be so arrogant, Yuan Tan immediately furiously said: "Release the crossbow of the city guarding! Prepare gold juice!"

The next moment, dozens of spear-like crossbow arrows left the string and shot towards Chen Mang. Chen Mang used a long knife in his hand to push away the crossbow arrows. Seeing that they were about to set up a pot to cook manure, he quickly turned the horse head and led the people to retreat.

A moment later, Chen Mang returned to the army's tent, handed the weapon to the personal soldiers beside him, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so dangerous, I almost got splashed with feces."

Zhuge Liang smiled and came forward and said, "Lord, don't panic. It's across the moat. At most, they throw a few clay pots to make us disgusted."

Chen Mang squinted his eyes: "It doesn't hurt when he stands and talks."

While he was talking, he suddenly found that the box in the big tent had been moved. When he walked over, he saw that the women's clothing he used to provoke had disappeared. He immediately understood why Yan Liang had rushed to fight. He couldn't help but laugh and said to Zhuge Liang: "Good you Zhuge Villager, you actually stole things to me!"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "If it weren't for this, how could the lord have killed Yan Liang? Liang would have committed a crime."

Chen Mang nodded and said, "In the short term, Yuan's army should not go out to fight. Yun Chang, you lead 10,000 infantry to attack Guangrao, Wenyuan brings 10,000 infantry to fight Bochang, I will lead troops to fight Anle, surround Linzi, and cut off their food route. Without food and grass, Yuan's army will be defeated within three days."

Zhuge Liang suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and frowned and asked, "Lord, if all the troops are sent out, who will restrain Yuan's army in Linzi?"

Chen Mang patted Zhuge on the shoulder and encouraged: "Military advisor, I will leave you three thousand soldiers and horses, and I must hold them back for three days! I'm optimistic about you!"

"I just knew."

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and said, "Lord has revealed a difficult problem..."

Chen Mang and others took advantage of the night to evacuate the central army and quietly crossed the mountains and ridges towards their respective targets.

In order not to let Tian Feng and others see the flaws, Zhuge Liang set up an Eight Formation Map in the army, so that the insight of the strategists could not see through the reality and the fire was created according to the number of soldiers before, so that the smoke from cooking was not reduced.

On the first day, Tian Feng couldn't help but feel a little confused when he saw that there was no movement on Chen Mang.

The next morning, Zhuge Liang sent another piece of women's clothing, but this time the recipient was changed from Yan Liang to Zhang He.

Zhang He was not as impulsive as Yan Liang. After discussing with Tian Feng and others, he decided not to avoid going out to fight.

At the same time, Yuan Shao had learned about the battle here and sent someone to urge them to regain the lost territory in Qingzhou.

Tian Feng replied to Yuan Shao, stating the reason why Chen Mang was alone and the food and grass could not be delivered in time and could not be fought for a long time. He believed that as long as he delayed for ten days, Chen Mang would retreat.

Yuan Shao was so angry that he tore the letter apart on the spot. He issued twelve orders in one day urging him and Yuan Tan to send troops quickly!

Seeing that his father was so angry, Yuan Tan had to bite the bullet and go to fight. On the third day, he brought Zhang He and the halberd soldiers to the front of the two armies.

It was the third day when Zhuge Liang saw that Chen Mang and others had no news. He shouted in his heart that the Lord cheated me. Facing the fierce Yuan Jun, there was no choice but to bite the bullet and ride the war horse and take charge of the enemy in person!
