Fighting had already started on the avenue at the foot of the mountain, and thousands of mountain bandits suddenly rushed out from the mountain, and this time it was the turn of the officers and soldiers to be surprised, to be surrounded, to be counter-surrounded, and then to the mountain bandits to break through, and now this group of mountain bandits is large in number, and it is enough to surround them.

Soon both sides changed their tactics, and the officers and soldiers who were previously surrounded in the center pretending to be caravans immediately concentrated in one direction and rushed outward, and the officers and soldiers on the periphery gradually let go of the encirclement to assist the people inside to break through.

The bandits who came down from the mountain also did the same thing, because they didn't know how many officers and soldiers there were around, so they had to pick up the 500 brothers who had come out at the first time, and then according to the development of the situation, see if they wanted to attack the officers and soldiers.

Their choice was soon proved to be right, because Huang Jie saw the dense crowd on the mountain rushing towards the caravan in the distance, and he knew that it was bad, and he had to attack as soon as possible, otherwise the more than 1,000 people would be more than lucky, so the remaining 1,000 people also shouted and rushed to the battle point at the foot of the mountain.

In this way, both sides gathered their teams, and the previous siege in the middle of the siege no longer existed, forming a confrontation between the two sides!

Huang shot and stepped forward: "The bold bandits dare to offend me Jiangxia, surrender quickly, spare you from death!" "Huang Jie is delaying on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is trying to test the situation of the mountain bandits, at least the number of mountain bandits is more than his own at the moment, although his subordinates are better in terms of weapons and equipment, but if they really fight, casualties are still inevitable, if they can wait for Gan Ning or Xu Shu to come, the losses of officers and soldiers will be much less.

Seeing about 2,000 officers and soldiers on the opposite side, they looked at each other, and it didn't seem like there were other officers and soldiers, but it made Chen Lan breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that all his strength had been exposed, if there were officers and soldiers nearby, they would inevitably come over in an instant, and now that there were none, Chen Lan would choose a way for the mountain bandits to retreat calmly.

They came out to loot, not to make Liu Cong rebel in Jiangxia, so they could hide as much as possible when they saw the officers and soldiers. I really can't dodge, and if I want to escape into the mountains and forests, I must cut off the ground. However, the best way at the moment is to negotiate with the officers and men to stabilize them. Chen Lan has an advantage in numbers, and he is not afraid of officers and soldiers not to talk about it.

"Who are you? Do even the soldiers want to stop us? Today's situation is not as good as our respective troops, I will take the men and horses into the mountains, and no longer enter Jiangxia, so that you can also explain? Chen Lan saw that Huang Jie was young and didn't think that he was a famous general, so he thought about making peace.

"Huang Shot, the son of Jiangxia Taishou, and Huang Shot, the captain of the Guardian Academy, are waiting for the bandits to offend me Jiangxia for no reason, so don't surrender quickly!" Huang Jie is also a little embarrassed, he has been in ambush here for a long time, and finally fished out the big fish, but if he continues to pull the line, the fish may not be caught, the line rod will be broken, and the bad people will fall into the river.

What to do? What to do? The two leaders were anxiously thinking of countermeasures, Chen Lan was afraid that Huang Jie would cover up when he retreated, and Huang Jie was naturally unwilling to let Chen Lan leave safely under his nose.

At this time, one mile away from the west, Gan Ning got a report from the sentinel cavalry, discovered Chen Lan's main force, and immediately asked people to lead two thousand infantry into the mountain, preparing to cut off the back road of the mountain bandits, and he rushed to the battlefield with the remaining infantry. And Xu Shu also started at dawn, under the leadership of the guides, quietly marched towards the temporary camp of the mountain bandits! Last night's sneak attack made the mountain people of Hejiazhai also taste the sweetness, and more than 100 mountain people also joined Xu Shu's team under the leadership of He Wu and He Qi.

The shouts of battle and the clashing of swords and guns in the distance were like lighthouses in the sea, guiding troops in two different directions.

Huang Jie and Chen Lan still failed to make peace after all, of course Huang Jie didn't want Chen Lan to slip away, he hoped that his two thousand people could drag Chen Lan to the greatest extent, as long as Gan Ning or Xu Shu's side arrived, then the winner would be decided. Of course, Chen Lan didn't want to see himself running in front and Huang Jie chasing behind, and the current situation was that even if he wanted to run, he had to kill and run at the same time, which made the officers and soldiers afraid.

Huang Jian wanted to delay, but Chen Lan wanted to fight quickly, he had to rely on the advantage of numbers to thwart the first wave of attacks of officers and soldiers, and then leave calmly with the team.

Of course, Huang Jie did not let Chen Lan get his wish, Huang Jie was originally from Jiangxia, his ancestral home was Anlu, and he guarded Jiangxia with Huang Zu for several years, and it was his bounden duty to protect the peace of the Jiangxia border! Of course, the equipment of the two thousand Jiangxia has an advantage, especially in defense, the mountain people are basically ordinary civilian clothes, and most of the officers and soldiers have leather armor and helmets to protect themselves.

Gan Ning, who came to the battlefield ...... "Kill the ", no longer hesitated, Lao Yuan took the lead, and all the other soldiers also followed out, Chen Lan, Mei Cheng and others saw that it was broken! There were not only officers and soldiers but also a large army, but fortunately they did not continue to move west, it turned out that their whereabouts had already been mastered by the officers and soldiers, otherwise the officers and soldiers would not have appeared in the northwest direction!

Chen Lan and Mei Cheng glanced at each other, then turned around and ran! The two of them knew very well that the previous 3,000 people could still try against 2,000 officers and soldiers, but now when they saw the cavalry, twenty or thirty cavalry came out, which was obviously the middle army of officers and soldiers! The addition of Gan Ning and others made the situation of the mountain bandits tense immediately, and when many mountain bandits looked back, they found that Chen Lan and Mei Cheng, who had charged at the front of the team, did not know when they had approached the foot of the mountain.

Thirty-six strategies are the best, but running away is also a very esoteric knowledge, and in the current situation of this kind of confusion, the mountain bandits naturally run into the mountains. Naturally, we must not forget to run in one direction, otherwise we will still be chased and killed by officers and soldiers, so some people run along the foot of the mountain, and some people go directly into the mountains and forests.

It stands to reason that the foot of the mountain is easier to be discovered, and when you enter the mountain, you can hide everywhere, and the safety factor should be higher, but today is an exception, because Gan Ning has arranged for two thousand people to enter the mountain in advance, although they are not as fast as the large army at the foot of the mountain, but it is too simple for them to drive away the scattered fugitives. Soon hundreds of people were driven out of the mountains and forests, and they had to face the fight again.

And those who ran along the foot of the mountain, after escaping for a short period of time and seeing that no one was catching up, they also plunged into the mountains and forests, but they were also quickly killed, including several cunning Chen Lan and Mei Cheng! It's not that Gan Ning and those people are powerful, but Xu Shu also rushed to the scene. When Chen Lan was driven out of the mountains and forests, she was almost desperate, and originally thought that if she fled into the mountains and forests, the three thousand brothers would at least be able to survive a thousand children and eight hundred.

He could have thought that Gan Ning would divide his troops into the mountains, but he would never have imagined that there were officers and soldiers on the way he came, that is to say, this person came by copying his own back road, if he had invested 3,000 people to plunder the caravan at the beginning, there might be hope of escaping, and now, ......

Seeing Gan Ning and Xu Shu appear on the battlefield from two completely different directions, Huang Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Shu brought a thousand people, Gan Ning had nearly 8,000 people, more than 10,000 officers and soldiers against 3,000 mountain bandits, there was no suspense in such a battle. In fact, the only suspense of this battle was gone from the moment Chen Lan decided to go down the mountain.

What Gan Ning and Xu Shu were worried about was that Chen Lan would not show up, and three batches of chaifu and a caravan actually fished Chen Lan out, which Xu Shu did not expect, he originally thought that the task of entering the mountain might be more difficult, and he would even start a protracted negotiation with Chen Lan.

Surrounded from all sides, the three thousand mountain bandits surrendered in less than a quarter of an hour, because their casualties were so fast, and they paid the price of five hundred men in less than a quarter of an hour!

Although he failed to completely annihilate Chen Lan's department, he killed 500 and captured more than 2,000 prisoners, including Chen Lan and Mei Cheng and other main generals, this crackdown on bandits should be considered very successful!

Just when Gan Ning ordered people to clean up the battlefield and was about to return to Qichun with a group of prisoners, a sentry horse hurriedly entered the army and went straight to Gan Ning.

"General, there is a movement in the direction of Chaisang, Lord Junhou, please return to the general quickly!"

"!" Gan Ning scolded viciously, and then brought Xu Shu, Huang Jie and others over: "Everyone, what now?" Sun Quan's grandson is really unreliable! ”

"The general doesn't need to be overly anxious, Sha Xian has Ma Taishou and Pang Shiyuan here, and there are 10,000 people, who should be able to withstand and wait for us to come back for help. I thought that this time the Chaisang Navy was just a false sword, and they would never dare to attack Jiangxia, their purpose was to distract us, so that we could not suppress the bandits with peace of mind! ”
