Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Curtain Falls

"There is an ambush, retreat!"

"Run, help!"

The defenders of Baicheng, who were reinforcing the large camp outside the city, were attacked by the Yanzhou army halfway through the march.

On one side is the elite who are ready to go, and on the other side is the army that has not had time to eat.

The tactic of encirclement and reinforcement has been rarely used in history, but it has not been officially taken seriously since modern wars.

Deng Mingren looked at his scattered troops, but he was anxious, and when he marched in a hurry, he took the form of a long snake formation to support. There was nothing wrong with this formation, but after the long snake formation was interrupted, it was divided and annihilated.

Damn, how can these Yanzhou soldiers be so able to fight, except for the more than 1,000 people brought out by themselves, the formations of other troops have been scattered. These Yanzhou soldiers have only been building up kung fu for a few months, what kind of move is this Lu Zhan Jean.

What Deng Mingren didn't know was that the selection standards for these soldiers were higher than those of other armies, and in this era, as long as they were not disabled, they could sign up for the army, unless they were elite troops from various countries.

Moreover, Lu Zhan's military salary for the soldiers who signed up for the army in Yanzhou was also higher than that of other armies, and these soldiers also knew that Lu Zhan's military salary exceeded that of their peers, so they were naturally willing to work hard for Lu Zhan. In addition, Lu Zhan's pension for his family is also very generous, so he naturally does not have to worry about the problem after death.

"General, if we don't retreat, we will be surrounded, and Yanzhou's troops are already approaching the two flanks of our army."

"It was I who underestimated the enemy to suffer today's defeat. Gather the brothers to break west and return to White City. Deng Mingren, escorted by the soldiers next to him, broke through in the direction of Baicheng.

"If it weren't for the lack of manpower now, otherwise we would put a pocket array on Deng Mingming's way back, and he would definitely have no return."

"Don't say it, let's just obey the lord's orders, this battle is really enjoyable."

"When we get home, we'll have to celebrate."

At this moment, the officers of Yanzhou, who were talking about drinking celebratory wine, looked at Deng Mingren, who had fled in embarrassment, and laughed heartily.

"My lord, what about these captives, there are thousands of them." A soldier came to report to the officers in command.

"According to the lord's wishes, these captives will definitely delay our retreat. However, all those officers were seized, and these people waited for the Jin State to take the money to ransom them. The officer spat out the grass in his mouth.

Lu Zhan was very happy with more than a thousand horses, although the quality of these horses was not as good as the one he bought, but he could expand the number of cavalry.

Although some of the cavalry took advantage of the chaos to escape, on the whole the operation was very successful, and it was time to withdraw to the base camp - Yanzhou.

The tired Yanzhou soldiers finally returned to their hometown, and as soon as they returned to Yanzhou, they were rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and they were given a short vacation.

Except for a small number of families who hung up white cloths and wore linen and filial piety, most of the soldiers returned home with bounty money.

When the family members returned home from the expedition, many families took the money to buy two taels of pork and a little wine to go home to celebrate.

"Lu Lang, the family's money can't make ends meet. You waved your hand and gave your men a reward, and our family is not as happy as the soldiers with the bounty. Jing Nianshuang smashed his fist on Lu Zhan's back.

Lu Zhan hugged Jing Nianshuang into his arms and said, "Is the economic situation at home so bad?"

Jing Nianshuang blushed and whispered: "Actually, it's okay, it's just that if you spend it like this, you will have to sell the house in a few years." You are the first prince who worries about money. ”

"You've been getting bolder and bolder lately, and you dare to complain about your husband, look at how I clean you up."

After speaking, he carried Jing Nianshuang on his shoulders and walked to the room, where had Jing Nianshuang, who was carried on his shoulders, seen such a formation, and kept patting Lu Zhan's back to make Lu Zhan put himself down.

"Lu Lang, there are still so many people watching here." Jing Nianshuang said shyly.

"It is normal for men and women to eat and drink. I'm afraid they will see it. ”

Everyone in the house avoided it after seeing their master carrying the young grandmother to the house.

"Wow, the young master is so good to his wife, I am so envious, in the future, I must find a gentleman like the young master when I get married."

"If only the young master could take a fancy to me, I would be willing to be a concubine for the young master."

As the saying goes, a small don't win a newlywed, dry firewood and fire.

Lu Zhan, who was lying on the bed panting, looked at the beautiful woman beside him, kissed his forehead, put on his clothes and walked out of the door.

When the female assassin Lin Jie heard that Lu Zhan had returned home, she guessed that Duan Xiaohan should also be meeting his little sister. After that, Duan Xiaohan should also come to visit him, and Lu Zhan will also come to visit him.

Lin Jie opened the door after hearing the footsteps outside the door, and the sudden opening of the door startled Lu Zhan.

"Lord Lu, who is invincible on the battlefield, will still be frightened by a little woman like me." Lin Jie leaned on the door, revealing a lazy temperament that did not match her identity.

This beautiful assassin is so beautiful, Duan Xiaohan's harazi is about to flow out.

Duan Xiaohan's action of swallowing saliva was fully captured by Lu Zhan and Lin Jie, and Lu Zhan was lamenting that this brother was still a woman, and he swallowed saliva as soon as he saw a beautiful woman.

Lin Jie secretly thought to herself that it seemed that the plan that was slowly approaching Duan Xiaohan could be accelerated.

"Lord Lu, let's return one yard to one yard, you saved my life in the pond before, and I promise not to do anything to you again within three years."

Lu Zhan, who heard the news, was stunned for a moment, could it be that this girl wanted to open and no longer blame herself, or she was also interested in Duan Xiaohan.

"I still have something to do, Duan Xiaohan, you can stay here and talk to Miss Lin." Lu Zhan, who had the idea of adult beauty, left Duan Xiaohan in Lin Jie's courtyard.

Another consideration is to prevent Lin Jie, who has recovered his mobility, from confusing himself by what he said just now, and leaving Duan Xiaohan here is also an insurance.

"What? The grain, grass and baggage stored in Shucheng have been destroyed, are these people eating dry food? Lu Zhan led people to sneak attack from Yanzhou, and almost let Lu Zhan retreat. Especially Deng Mingren's waste, are so many people stationed in Baicheng all pigs. ”

Thousands of people were captured in the middle of the afternoon and finally released.

Even a few thousand pigs can be caught for days.

Zhiyun, the head of the Zhi family, angrily threw the glass cup in his hand on the ground, but fortunately, a layer of carpet was laid on the ground and was not broken.

Tang Liyi looked at the battle report in his hand, took a sip of tea, and muttered to himself: "Lu Zhan, I really don't know how many surprises you can bring me."

Although Lu Zhan destroyed the grain and grass stored in Shucheng, he still failed to curb the ambitions of the Zhi family, and the enraged Zhi family began to mobilize troops at a faster pace
