"Woooooo

The continuous sound of horns sounded, and Lu Lan watched with a dark face as Han Sui's soldiers and horses receded like a tide in front of him. If you want to chase but are afraid of being ambushed by the other party, and the speed of the infantry is not as fast as others, if you send cavalry and you can't see enough, thousands of cavalry rush out, which is simply to deliver food to others. Faced with the situation of the enemy and the enemy, Lu Lan was about to go crazy.

"The angry general is here, and when Han Sui is taken, he will definitely be cut by a thousand knives!"

At this moment, Lu Lan no longer thought about recruiting Han Sui to increase his credit, he only thought about how to abuse Han Sui after capturing him alive, so that Han Sui also knew his pain.

"Someone is coming, and the firehead battalion is ordered to bury the pot and make rice, wait for breakfast, and conduct a comprehensive search, and the enemy army must be found and defeated. ”

Lu Lan gave the order viciously, this is the end of the Yin period, and the sky will be bright in half an hour, and Lu Lan is not in the mood to rest. After giving the order, he sat in his tent with a gloomy face, waiting for the dawn.

Halfway through the hour, that is, at six o'clock in the morning, Lu Lan's army had already eaten breakfast, and then set up camp and began a comprehensive search. Now that it is dawn, Lu Lan wants to see how the other party hides, how he ambushes himself, and when he finds the location of the enemy, he will definitely retaliate fiercely.

"General Qiyu, there are traces of the enemy ahead. ”

Hearing the scout's report, Lu Lan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately ordered the army to rush forward. After a while, I came to a slightly hidden open space, only to see a pile of miscellaneous things on the clearing, and traces of burying pots to make rice. and traces of encampment. Apparently, the enemy troops once stayed here. It's just that at this time, all that was left for Lu Lan was a bunch of messy things. Other than that, there is nothing else.

"Hateful! The scouts continue to search, expand the scope of the search, and send a signal as soon as they spot the enemy!"

Lu Lan indignantly ordered that his hatred for Han Sui had risen to the extreme, and he vowed to find out and solve the other party.

"General Qiyu. Another enemy trail has been spotted ahead!"

After a while, the scout came to Lu Lan again to report. When we arrived at the place where the anomaly was found, all I saw was countless messy footprints on the ground. There is still not a single enemy figure. Obviously, the enemy forces have long been out of the way. However, at this moment, since the footprints of the enemy can be found, obviously. You are not far from the other side.

"Someone. Keep searching, the enemy is not far from us!"

Lu Lan said with a slightly excited tone. The opportunity for revenge is coming, how can Lu Lan not be excited, not excited?

"General Lu, wait!"

At this moment, Guan Jing on the side stood up and stopped Lu Lan. Hearing this, Lu Lan frowned slightly. Guan Jing has never interfered in his command, but what is the purpose of standing up at this time? Lu Lan still looked at Guan Jing, he wanted to hear what Guan Jing would say.

"General Lu, don't you think there's something unusual about this?"

Guan Jing frowned, and said in a deep voice: "If it's the first time we find an abnormality, it's because the enemy is also going to camp and rest, and they want to eat, but it's also in the past." However, the second time we found such a large footprint, it seemed a little abnormal. I felt that the other party seemed to be deliberately luring us somewhere. ”

Although Guan Jing is not good at military strategy, he still has brains. The enemy's actions are so weird, according to the enemy's marching speed yesterday, if he really wanted to leave, it seems that he could have distanced himself from them a long time ago. However, according to what has been discovered so far, it seems that the distance between the other party and oneself is not too far, and it feels like one's own side can catch up with the other party with more effort, which is very abnormal. Obviously, the other party is deliberately luring their own people.

Lu Lan didn't care very much about it originally, but when he heard Guan Jing say this, his heart was stunned, and he felt that the development of things seemed to be really as Guan Jing said.

"If it weren't for Lord Guan's reminder, I almost fell for the enemy's tricks. ”

Lu Lan bowed to Guan Jing and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Guan Jing was beside him, otherwise he would really fall for the other party's tricks this time.

"Master Guan, we just knew that the other party had a treacherous plan, but we still had to keep up with each other. This time, the major general sent us to destroy the enemy's troops and horses, and gave us 30,000 soldiers and horses, if we are still unable to complete the task, how can we explain to the young master? Besides, once our army retreats at this moment, the enemy will definitely catch up and harass from the rear. In today's situation, we can only follow each other, unless we don't want to complete the task of the major general. ”

Listening to Lu Lan's helpless words, Guan Jing's brows furrowed even tighter.

Before leaving, Lu Lan had already issued a military order to Gongsun and would definitely complete the task, if he returned empty-handed like this, Lu Lan would have to take responsibility, and Guan Jing naturally couldn't say anything. However, Guan Jing had a faint feeling in his heart that the other party's actions did not seem to be just seducing them, and there should be other intentions. However, Guan Jing couldn't figure out what the other party's intentions were, after all, he was not good at strategy and analysis.

"Alas!"

Guan Jing and Lu Lan sighed deeply at the same time, and then, the two could only reluctantly continue to order the army to keep up with each other's footsteps.

After repeating this for three days, Lu Lan's army of 30,000 followed behind Han Sui's army and chased all the way.

"Huh!"

Just as he was still chasing on the fourth day, a general beside Lu Lan exclaimed in surprise, as if he had discovered something. At that moment, Lu Lan and Guan Jing looked at the general.

"Captain Madu, did you find anything?"

The general, known as Ma Duwei, heard Lu Lan's inquiry, and hurriedly said, "General Lu, your subordinates are from Fangcheng. Just now, it suddenly occurred to his subordinates that the direction in which the other party was heading seemed to be the direction of Fang Cheng. ”

"What?"

Lu Lan and Guan Jing exclaimed at the same time, the other party wanted to lure them to Fang City, and then use the advantage of Fang City's city wall to consume them? But in this case, it seemed that it was useless. Originally, Yuan Chang divided his troops to raid Fangcheng, just to detour from Fangcheng to the north gate of Tongxian County. Form a two-sided attack. But now the soldiers and horses of Commander Han Sui did not approach Tongxian, but returned to the original point, which is obviously putting the cart before the horse. The energy of the soldiers was wasted, as well as a lot of grain and grass. Could it be that the other party's general is a fool, but judging from his actions these days, it doesn't seem to be the case.

With doubts, Lu Lan continued to lead the army to chase after the other party. Finally, at noon on the second day. The opponent's army entered Fangcheng City, and Lu Lan looked at Fangcheng in front of him, and he couldn't figure it out in his heart.

"What are they going to do?"

Lu Lan really couldn't figure it out. He had been on the march for many years, and he had never seen such a situation. Nothing was done, the city was captured and then sent to Tongxian, and then ran back to the original point. Do the generals of the other side regard war as child's play?

Guan Jing on the side frowned. Lost in thought.

"Oh no, we've been tricked!"

After a long time, Guan Jing suddenly exclaimed, and immediately attracted the attention of Lu Lan and the generals. Guan Jing said such words at this time, obviously it would not be without purpose.

"Master Guan, what do you think of?"

Lu Lan looked at Guan Jing eagerly, if he really fell into the scheme as Guan Jing said, then his sin would be great. Although nominally Guan Jing's authority is greater than his. However, Guan Jing only has the right to supervise, and the power to command the troops is still in Lu Lan's hands. If something goes wrong. Gongsun Xu will only hold him accountable, not Guan Jing. Thinking of this, the sweat on Lu Lan's forehead couldn't stop popping up.

Guan Jing frowned, and explained in a deep voice: "General Lu, we have always thought that the other party has 20,000 soldiers and horses. However, we have never seen the existence of 20,000 soldiers and horses on the other side. Although it seems that the opponent's momentum can only be caused by 20,000 soldiers and horses, if some means are used, it can still be disguised. Assuming that the other side only has a small number of soldiers and horses to hold us back, and their army has already spared us and gone to Tongxian to flank us, is it also possible?"

After listening to Guan Jing's explanation, Lu Lan was also shocked, and the sweat on his forehead flowed more intensively.

As Guan Jing said, from beginning to end, they did not see each other's 20,000 soldiers and horses with their own eyes, but they only took it for granted that the other party had 20,000 soldiers and horses based on the movements caused by the other party. And at this moment, after Guan Jing's reminder, Lu Lan also suddenly thought that if the other party really had 20,000 soldiers and horses, he could have set up ambushes for them in many places, but the other party did not do so. Either the other party has a bigger conspiracy, or, as Guan Jing said, the other party does not have enough troops to set up an ambush. As for the bigger conspiracy, now that the other party has already taken refuge in Fang City, what other conspiracy can there be? Obviously, there is only one possibility, that is, the other party does not have 20,000 troops to ambush them at all.

Although he was already a little sure of this idea in his heart, Lu Lan still had a hint of luck and urged the army to come to Fangcheng City.

"The one in the city is General Han Sui, who has heard of the name for a long time, and is specially invited to see it. ”

As Lu Lan's words fell, a group of people appeared above the head of Fangcheng City. One of them was naturally Yang Kuan, the deputy general of Fangcheng, but now he was the chief general of Fangcheng. Except for Yang Kuan, everyone else stood behind him, seemingly Yang Kuan's subordinates. If Han Sui was present, with Han Sui's identity, it would naturally be impossible to stand behind Yang Kuan, in this case, there was only one explanation, that is, Han Sui was not in the city.

"Haha, you've fallen for my family's military advisor's scheme!"

After Yang Kuan appeared at the head of the city, he immediately laughed proudly. It was not his own idea to say this, but Han Sui explained the meaning of the bag left by Guo Jia to Yang Kuan before leaving, so Yang Kuan said this.

Han Sui led a large army to spare Lu Lan's soldiers and horses to Tongxian, and this lured force dragged Lu Lan for such a long time, if Lu Lan waved his troops back to Tongxian, it would add up to seven or eight days, as long as the siege went well, Tongxian would have been taken long ago. Therefore, it is not a big deal to disclose this matter to Lu Lan. If Lu Lan had a resourceful strategist around him, Guo Jia would naturally not do it, but unfortunately there was no such strategist around Lu Lan, not even Gongsun Chan and Gongsun Xu, let alone Lu Lan. Therefore, after Lu Lan learned the news, the only action he would have was to immediately lead his troops back to Tongxian County to rescue Gongsun Xu. If there is a resourceful strategist, it will definitely be too late to wave troops through the county now, it is better to take advantage of the fact that Fangcheng has few defenders and directly take Fangcheng. In this way, it can pose a slight threat to Yuan Chang's soldiers and horses. Pity. Lu Lan didn't have a strategist with enough intelligence around him, so he was destined to not think of this.

"It's not good, now the major general is in danger. I'll wait for the quick return to Tongxian County for rescue!"

When Lu Lan said this, naturally no one objected. If something happened to Gongsun Zhan, they would not be able to escape Gongsun Zhan's punishment. As for Guan Jing, of course, he did not object, he promised Gongsun Zhan that he would protect Gongsun Xu before he set out on the expedition, and now that Gongsun Xu is in danger, Guan Jing is also in turmoil. He was not good at strategy in the first place, how could he have thought of this.

At that moment, Lu Lan immediately led the army to turn around. Rush in the direction of Tongxian. Yang Kuan, who was at the head of the city, was immediately relieved when he saw Lu Lan lead the army away. In Yang Kuan's heart, he admired the military advisor who had never met, and Lu Lan's reaction was as expected by the military advisor. There is not the slightest difference. Subsequently. Yang Kuan left 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Fangcheng, while he led 5,000 soldiers and horses to chase Lu Lan in the rear. This is also Guo Jia's order, although according to the time, it is more than enough to capture Tongxian. However, it would obviously be better if we could hold off the other side's reinforcements for more time.

Therefore, on the one hand, Lu Lan had to hurry back to Tongxian County to rescue Gongsun Xu, but on the other hand, he had to deal with Yang Kuan's soldiers and horses chasing after him. I was also distressed in my heart.

……

Go back to four days ago, that is, the night when Han Sui's soldiers and horses harassed Lu Lan. At that time, Han Sui was after reading the tips left by Guo Jia. So he found a soldier from the army who looked close to him, and then left his armor and war horse to the other party. Although Han Sui had never been in contact with the soldiers in Youzhou, there might be a fine work that had seen Han Sui's face, and with a cautious attitude, Han Sui still did as Guo Jia instructed. Then, Han Sui led a large army to hide in the nearby high mountains, which was difficult to detect unless Lu Lan's scouts were very meticulous in their investigation. Moreover, the lured 5,000 soldiers and horses also left more obvious traces, and after the other party discovered his own traces, he naturally would not waste time to investigate, but would only chase directly. Therefore, after Lu Lan led a large army to chase after the 5,000 soldiers and horses that lured the enemy, Han Sui led a large army to Tongxian. It only took a day and a half of effort, Han Sui's army had already come to the place ten miles outside Tongxian County to ambush, and when night came, it was the agreed siege time in Guo Jia's bag.

When Han Sui led his troops to the north gate of Tongxian County, Yuan Chang still took the trouble to harass Gongsun Xu with a feint. As night fell, the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Bohai County also returned to their own camp from Tong County.

"Lord, tonight is the time to take Tong County!"

In Yuan Chang's tent, Guo Jia took a sip of wine with a smile and said indifferently. Listening to Guo Jia's tone, it seems that taking Tongxian County is just an extremely simple matter.

"Haha, it's still a military advisor who is very wise! I think that when Gongsun Xu saw Juzi's soldiers and horses, his face must be ugly, haha!"

Yuan Chang also laughed when he heard this.

"Lord, I want to be a pioneer!"

Dian Wei grinned, his face showing a high-spirited battle intent. After holding back for so many days, he can finally do a big job tonight, how can Dian Wei not be excited.

"General Dian, don't ask me about this, General Zhao is the chief general of this army. ”

Hearing Yuan Chang's words, Dian Wei immediately turned his head and looked at Zhao Yun pitifully, his expression was like a three-year-old child seeing a lollipop in front of him.

Zhao Yun deliberately put on a contemplative face, and just when Dian Wei scratched his ears and cheeks, and was about to hold back, he grinned: "Since General Dian has requested so, this general will naturally agree." ”

"Haha, I'm going to be a pioneer!"

When the time came, the 30,000 soldiers in Bohai County who had already been mentally healthy suddenly pressed towards the head of Tongxian County at the moment when the drums sounded in the army.

"The enemy army is attacking the city again, report to the general quickly!"

"Alas, they are just feints, don't worry!"

"Yes, yes! They've been like this for days, and they're not tired at all. Just pity us creeps, uh..."

The patrol soldiers who were staring at the soldiers of Bohai County at the head of the city did not react much when they saw the army of Bohai County appear. These days, the soldiers of Bohai County are all doing this, they are all feints to harass them, they don't need to be so excited at all. However, when the last soldier said a word, before he could finish speaking, he let out a sudden scream, and then his body slowly fell. At this time, the two soldiers who had spoken to him before reacted and saw the feathered arrows stuck in the fallen soldier. His eyes widened suddenly, and then a terrible cry rang out.

"The enemy army is attacking the city, hurry up and report to the general!"

"Hurry the fuck. The enemy army is really attacking the city, not a feint!"

The soldiers of Youzhou, who were still lazy above the city, suddenly woke up and prepared in a panic after hearing the shouts of the two soldiers. Unfortunately, they were a little slow to react. As the vanguard, Dian Wei had already led the first team of 5,000 siege soldiers to rush up on a ladder.

"Boys. Go to the city with me!"

Dian Wei was dressed in armor and charged on the front line with a double halberd. Now it's a siege, but it's not a one-on-one fight. The boulders and sassalwood in the city can't recognize Dian Wei, if this is not the case, then Dian Wei is really brainless. In front of Dian Wei, two soldiers raised their shields to defend Dian Wei.

"Kill!"

Dian Wei led the first group of 5,000 soldiers to rush under the city. He took a shield from the soldier beside him. Follow the siege ladder to the top of the city. Seeing that his own general was so brave, the 5,000 soldiers of Bohai County seemed to be inspired, and they charged harder.

"That guy is an enemy general, shoot me!"

There was a general at the head of the city, and from Dian Wei's dress, he could see that he was the general of Bohai County, and he immediately shouted loudly.

"Ahh

However, when the general finished shouting, he suddenly screamed. and went straight down from the top of the city. It turned out that Dian Wei also noticed this guy. He took out a halberd from his bosom and smashed it. This halberd was not Dian Wei's weapon, but a halberd much smaller than his weapon, the size of a palm. Dian Wei specially asked the blacksmith to help him build it, and it was used as a hidden weapon to smash people, and the effect was good, and the enemy general was stoned to death by him in an instant.

"Rush up to me!"

Dian Wei roared angrily, and climbed more fiercely with his shield raised.

"Smash, smash!"

"Roll the oil and pour it down, burn him to death!"

Dian Wei was so fierce that it naturally attracted the attention of the enemy troops in the city. All of a sudden, the offensive in this area fell on Dian Wei.

"Fuck it!"

Dian Wei is flesh and blood after all, if he is scalded by boiling oil, even if he is not dead, he will have to shed his skin, and at that moment Dian Wei saw the opportunity quickly, he decisively jumped down from the siege ladder and rolled on the ground a few times, and then stood up. Just a little bit earlier, boiling oil was poured on him.

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

The Youzhou soldiers at the head of the city were horrified by Dian Wei's ferocity, and Zhao Yun ordered the second team of 5,000 soldiers to rush up. At the same time, 5,000 archers also followed, and when they approached the city, they were overwhelmed with arrows towards the city, suppressing the opponent's attack and providing fire support to the besieging soldiers.

In a certain residence in the city, Gongsun Xu had not been lying down for long, but he heard the sound of drums in his ears. He's used to it these days, too, so he doesn't pay much attention to it.

"General Qiyu, the enemy army is attacking the city, and it is menacing, and the soldiers are a little unable to hold it. ”

"What?"

Gongsun Xu jumped up from the straw mat when he heard this, just now he thought it was a feint as usual. Who knew that the soldier actually told him that Yuan Chang was really attacking, what was going on?

"Someone came, and ordered the army in the city to immediately go to the city to support. ”

Gongsun continued to pick up the lance, put on the helmet, and hurried to the city without saying a word. In his heart, there were some doubts, why would Yuan Chang attack tonight?

By the time Gongsun Xu came to the top of the city, the head of the city was already full of soldiers from Youzhou. Moreover, it seems that it is faintly suppressed by the other party, as long as the offensive of the soldiers of Bohai County is more fierce, the head of the city will inevitably be lost.

"Where is the reserve force, make up for it quickly!"

"Where is the law enforcement team, if there is a fear of war, there will be no forgiveness!"

After Gongsun Xu came to the city, he immediately calmly gave an order. With the arrival of Gongsun Xu, the main general, and the support of the reserve army, the situation above the city suddenly eased a lot. But under the city, Dian Wei had a depressed face. Originally, he thought that with his brave attitude, he could take the city in one fell swoop, but unfortunately, he was flesh and blood after all, and under the concentrated firepower of the opponent, he still had to jump off the ladder many times.

Above the city, Gongsun continued to look at the dense soldiers and horses of Bohai County below, and sneered. As long as he sits here, Yuan Chang doesn't want to take Tongxian, he wants to see who can afford it.

However, Gongsun Xu hadn't been proud for long, but the report of the soldiers under his command made him feel like a thunderbolt from the sky, and he was stunned. (To be continued......)
