"Boom! Boom! Boom! Knock ......."

"Woo-woo-woo-"

In the early morning, the dawn had just broken through the darkness before dawn, the war drums were beating, and the high horn reverberated in the air, officially opening the prelude to the decisive battle between the Taiping Army and the Yizhou official army!

In the city, many generals of the Yizhou official army climbed the city wall one after another, condescendingly, and went towards the wish outside the city.

Looking around, I saw that the Taiping army outside the city was densely packed, with at least 70,000 or 80,000 people, one by one, the military formations were rigorously arranged, and all kinds of siege equipment were also very complete, not at all like the chaotic army they expected with the Yellow Turban thieves, but a regular army that was more rigorous than the official army.

Before the military formation, he was the general of the Taiping Army, and the person at the head was the supreme leader of the Taiping Army, Xiao Lan and Xiao Dingtian, the generalissimo of Pingtian, and there were leading generals on both sides, lined up, looking so imposing!

When Jia Long, who was the supreme commander of the Yizhou official army, saw it, he couldn't help but sigh: "The Taiping thief can sweep the world, and it really deserves its reputation!" ”

"Humph!" Hearing Jia Long's praise of the enemy army like this, even if there were Yizhou generals of different factions from him, he was very displeased, and he snorted coldly.

Jia Long turned his eyes and saw that the person who spoke was Wu Lan, a general who was attached to Dong Fu's hands, only to hear him shout coldly: "Lord Jia said this, it will be too long for others to be popular, and destroy his own prestige, I think this Taiping thief is just Erer!" Please let the last generals go out of the city to face the battle, and kill a few of their generals to frustrate their spirit! ”

"No!" I can hear that. Without waiting for Jia Long to respond, Li Yan couldn't help but dissuade him: "General Wu Lan, there are many brave and fierce generals among the Taiping thieves. You must not be so rash as an enemy! As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of the scene where Gan Ning was fighting against Lei Tong, Huang Quan, and Zhang Yi, and he couldn't help but think of Dian Wei's fierce and invincible terrifying figure, which made him feel bad.

If it comes to force, Li Yan asked himself that he was still above Lei Tong, Huang Quan and Zhang Yi, but compared to Gan Ning and Dian Wei. He can only smile bitterly, because of the difference in force between the two sides. It's too big.

It's a pity that although Li Yan has self-knowledge, Wu Lan in front of him obviously doesn't have this cognition, as the general of the Dong Fu faction. He knew very well that Li Yannai was a general of the Jia Long faction. He even thinks that Li Yan returned from a crushing night attack on the vanguard army of the Taiping Army and almost lost the city, all of which are Li Yan's responsibility, so he looked down on Li Yan from the bottom of his heart, and when he saw Li Yan stop himself, he even shouted coldly: "Lord Li Yan." It's just that you yourself are defeated by the Taiping thieves and come back, so why do you elevate those thieves like this. Such cowardice, but the face of our Yizhou, you don't dare to fight, just stay here obediently, and see how we defeat the thieves under the city and win the first credit! ”

As he spoke, he crossed Li Yan, looked straight at Jia Long, and said loudly: "Lord Jia, please give an order, the last general is willing to take his headquarters and go out of the city to destroy the enemy!" ”

"Oh?" Jia Long chuckled lightly, and immediately said indifferently: "Since General Wu Lan insists on asking for battle, then I have no reason not to allow it, so General Wu Lan will lead the people of the headquarters out of the city to meet the battle, and ask the general to show his might, capture and kill a few more enemy generals, and also relieve the enemy's siege situation." ”

"No!" Wu Lan came out in response, immediately led two deputy generals, hurriedly went down to the city, gathered troops, and prepared to go out of the city to meet the battle.

Seeing this, Li Yan couldn't help frowning, and he hurriedly asked Jia Long: "My lord, the last general once fought with the generals of the Taiping Thieves, although Lord Wu Lan is brave, but he is so rash to fight, if he is against those generals of the Taiping Thieves, I am afraid that he will definitely be defeated!" ”

Jia Long waved his hand and refused: "You don't need to be persuaded to do so, I have my own success in this matter." ”

Li Yan wanted to persuade again, at this moment, only heard a "squeak", the city gate under everyone's feet slowly opened, Wu Lan led several deputy generals and five thousand soldiers and horses from the headquarters, and rushed out of the city gate, Jia Long saw this, and immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Pass my order, close the city gate immediately, and strictly prevent thieves from taking the opportunity to steal the city!" ”

"Huh?!" Hearing this, Zhang Ren next to him couldn't help but say loudly: "My lord, is General Wu Lan still outside the city?" If the army is really defeated as General Li Yan predicted, wouldn't this be his way out? ”

"Humph!" Jia Long said coldly: "General Li Yan's ability, don't you still know it?" Lei Tong, Huang Quan, Zhang Yi, in terms of ability, none of them are under Wu Lan, but Rao is like this, the 30,000 army was broken by the Taiping thieves, since he insisted on going to death, I don't want to stop it, if any of you still want to go, I won't stop it, but there is one, if the army is defeated, don't think that I will go out to rescue you. ”

Hearing this, the atmosphere in the city couldn't help but be stagnant, and in the silence of everyone, only Jia Long sneered: "Do you think I want to do this?" However, the big war is imminent, this battle is related to the life and death of the entire Yizhou, although we have gathered 80,000 troops, but there are many factions in the army, intrigue, how can we work together against the enemy? ”

"This ......" Zhang Ren wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Wu Yi beside him, Wu Yi could see clearly, it was obvious that Jia Long was going to take the opportunity to establish his authority, targeting not only Wu Lan, but also Gao Pei, Yang Huai and other faction commanders, the purpose was to get the absolute right to command the army.

Under the city, the Taiping army was lined up, Xiao Lan looked up at the city, and was about to send someone to scold the formation, but he never thought that at this moment, the city gate was wide open, and he saw the officers and soldiers of the brigade coming out of the city gate, he couldn't help but smile at Xun You beside him: "It seems that Mr.'s plan is very effective!" ”

Xun You said with a smile: "It's just that it took some money, plus some rumors, the Yizhou official army was originally not in harmony, so it would be so easily divided, but although this move can weaken the strength of the Yizhou official army, it will also promote the internal unity of the Yizhou official army in disguise." ”

Xiao Lan said indifferently: "It's okay, the total number of officers and soldiers in Yizhou is only 80,000, and if you weaken it, you will lose one point, which is an advantage for us." ”

Xun You said with a smile: "The lord doesn't need to persuade me, this plan is my plan, naturally there are already countermeasures, even if the Yizhou official army has completed the internal unification, it is only a nominal unification." ”

"Yes, the internal factions of the official army in Yizhou are formed according to the interests of the wealthy families of the various nobles in Yizhou, how can it be so easy to unify." Xiao Lan's gaze swept over the surrounding generals, and he said, "Who wants to take the lead in the battle and win the enemy general with me later?" ”

Hearing this, Gan Ning, who had just recovered from his injuries, immediately stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "Lord, the last general is willing to fight, take down the enemy general, and dedicate it to the lord!" ”

Xiao Lan glanced at Gan Ning, and estimated in his heart that Gan Ning's combat power was nearly 10,000, and it should not be a problem to take down the Yizhou generals who went out of the city, but the problem was that Gan Ning was injured before, and now although he has almost recovered, but in the end, the combat strength has not fully recovered, and he did not send the wounded soldiers to the battle, so he immediately comforted: "Xingba, in the previous battle, you have beheaded two generals in Yizhou, and now your injuries are just healing, but it is not suitable to fight." ”

Wei Yan hurriedly took advantage of the situation and stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "Lord, the last general is willing to fight, take down the enemy general, and dedicate it to the lord!" ”

Xiao Lan quickly estimated in his heart that although Wei Yan's force was slightly inferior to Gan Ning's, it was not much of a problem, and it should not be too much of a problem for the Yizhou generals who came up to attack, at that moment, he nodded and responded in a deep voice: "Wen Chang is brave, it is enough for you to fight!" ”

Even though Wei Yandang was about to respond, he heard Xun Yu next to him suddenly say loudly: "General Wei Yan, please be sure to capture the enemy generals alive, I am of great use!" ”

"Huh?" With a deep groan, Xiao Lan turned his eyes to look at Xun You, and saw that there was a difference in the look on his face, although he didn't expect him to do any trick for a while, but he also knew that his move must have a success, and after a little hesitation, he still asked Wei Yan in a deep voice: "Wen Chang, give you three thousand elite horsemen to help, be sure to capture the enemy general, are you sure?" ”

"No problem!" Wei Yan laughed and responded, and even in the envious eyes of the generals, he rode out of the ranks, ordered three thousand fine horsemen, met the enemy formation, and rushed out of the ....... (to be continued......
