Chapter 95: Capture Danyang County

After tea, Chen Lan led the troops out of the city and went to chase after them.

On the long official road, the iron hooves rolled, and the shouts were loud and loud: "Drive!" Drive! ”

"My lord, the enemy's iron cavalry has caught up." Xiang Yu seems to have a very keen hearing.

"How many are there?"

"There should be tens of thousands of iron riders." Xiang Yu replied.

LΓΌbl grabbed the reins of his horse and surveyed his surroundings.

Li Yuanba said happily: "It's just right to come, I haven't enjoyed it yet." ”

"The terrain here is open, and it is not easy to ambush, so let's go further." Lu Bu drove the red rabbit horse and suddenly added.

Xiang Yu asked: "Is the lord taking a fancy to Yuan Shu's war horse?" ”

"Hey, hey... Yuan Shu's generals are basically decorations, and those war horses are in their hands, which is simply a waste. Let's find a place to ambush first, and when the enemy army passes by, capture the enemy general alive. ”&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"If you capture the thief and capture the king first, you will definitely succeed."

"Hmm."

Half an hour later, we came to a valley with narrow roads and a lot of jungle.

LΓΌ Bu chose to be here, preparing to ambush the approaching cavalry. Because the target of the war horse was too large and easy to be exposed, Lu Bu led the three horses, tied them to a distance, and then returned to the valley and hid with Xiang Yu, Li Yuanba, and others.

Xiang Yu protected Yu Ji with a slightly worried expression.

Lu Budao: "General Xiang doesn't have to make a move, protect my niece, and Yuan Ba and I are enough to make contributions." ”

"This..."

"If not, it's not too late for you to come out again."

"Okay."

Lu Bu told Li Yuanba: "When you do it later, pay attention and don't hurt my horse." ”&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Oh."

Li Yuanba pursed his lips.

Half an hour later, tens of thousands of iron horses galloped into the valley.

Chen Lan did not have the slightest doubt that there would be an ambush ahead, after all, there were only three people in Lu Bu, no matter how brave he was, he would not have the capital to ambush.

Thundered...

The sound of horses' hooves drew closer and closer, like thunder.

A tall and well-dressed war horse appeared in Lu Bu's sight. Let Lu Bu see the direct drool.

In front of the queue, a big banner with the word 'Chen' was waving, facing the strong wind, and the hunting sounded.

"Among the Yuan army, who can command tens of thousands of iron horsemen, and is a general surnamed Chen, it must be Chen Lan." Lu Bu guessed.

"Does the lord know Chen Lan?"

"I don't know. Not a good bird anyway. ”&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Chen Lan carried a long knife and ran at the front of the team. Suddenly, he grabbed the reins of his horse and shouted, "Stop! ”

"General, why don't you leave?" An adjutant asked.

"Whatever you go, just rest here. When it gets dark, go back to the errand. Chen Lan turned over and dismounted, and found a shady place to rest.

"General, the mountains here are dangerous, and it is very easy to ambush the soldiers, so you should go to the front to rest."

Chen Lan said impatiently: "Are you stupid? There are only a few enemies, how can you ambush the soldiers? There is an open field in front of it, and there is not even a place to cool down, but it is still comfortable and lush, so that the soldiers can get off their horses and go back after dark. ”

"Yes."

Immediately, 10,000 soldiers dismounted and looked for a shady place.

Lu Bu and Xiang Yu looked at it and almost didn't laugh.

&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"This Chen Lan is so cute, he doesn't want to chase us, and he is afraid that Yuan Shu will find out, so he found such a hidden place to rest, but as everyone knows, we are waiting for him here."

"That's fine, it saves us trouble. Yuanba, take your drum urn and golden hammer, put it in front of Chen Lan, and scare him. Lu Bu commanded.

"Hey, hey... Good. ”

Li Yuanba carried the golden hammer, went around behind Chen Lan, and approached step by step.

The deputy general sat opposite Chen Lan, and when he saw a child carrying a golden hammer coming in the distance, he trembled with fright and was dumbfounded: "Li... Lee, General General, Lee.... ”

"Lee what? What happened to you? Chen Lan was puzzled.

"Lee... Li Li.... Rumble! "Suddenly, a huge golden hammer fell from the sky and smashed the lieutenant into a meatloaf.

Flesh and blood splashed, staining Chen Lan's body. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

Seeing this golden hammer, Chen Lan immediately reacted: "Li Li... It's Li Yuanba! ”

"That's right, it's me."

Li Yuanba laughed, kicked Chen Lan over, and stepped on his chest.

When the soldiers in the distance saw it, they all picked up their spears and came to the rescue.

"Don't move, don't move..." Chen Lan was extremely frightened and hurriedly scolded the soldiers around him.

Lu Bu, Xiang Yu, and Yu Ji all came over one after another.

Three fierce men appeared at the same time, startling the surrounding soldiers, constantly retreating.

"Chen Lan, what are you chasing after me? Are you trying to kill me? Lu Bu asked.

"Nope. Lu... General Lu, I am also acting on orders. I've never wanted to be your enemy, it's the Lord... It's Yuan Shu who wants to chase you, so I'll lead the soldiers and horses back. ”&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"It's late."

Lu Bu glanced at the cavalry in the valley, turned around and said, "I will give you two options now, either die or take refuge in me." ”

"General Lu is really?"

"Of course it's true."

"Okay, I'll take refuge in you, I have no second thoughts, I will..." Chen Lan didn't even think about it, so she immediately agreed.

"Alright, these words of loyalty, keep them for later." Lu Bu motioned to Li Yuanba and let Chen Lan go. Chen Lan hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, General Lu... Oh no, thank you, my lord! ”

"Get up."

"Yes."

Chen Lan stood up tremblingly, not daring to meet Lu Bu's eyes.

When Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba saw it, they were very contemptuous. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

Lu Bu said: "Since you are the general of the Yuan army, you will definitely be able to mobilize this ten thousand iron cavalry?" ”

"Yes. They did not dare to disobey the words of the last general. ”

"Okay, you immediately give the order to capture Wanling City. When this is done, I will make you a forward lieutenant. ”

"No."

Chen Lan was overjoyed in her heart. For others, it is difficult to capture Wanling City, but for him, it is very simple. If you can get Lu Bu to reuse it because of this, it is not a bad policy.

You must know that the current Yuan Shu is already suffering from internal and external troubles, and his defeat is imminent, and it must be a good choice to take refuge in Lu Bu, who is the first in the world.

Wanling City, which is the seat of Danyang County, is controlled by Yuan Shu's cousin Yuan Yin, plus the help of private soldiers of various families, and its strength is no less than 30,000. If it is attacked, the casualties will be not small, but now with Chen Lan, it has become simpler.

After subduing Chen Lan, the army continued to move forward.

In order to do things really and test Chen Lan, Lu Bu did not stay with Chen Lan, but took Li Yuanba, Xiang Yu, and Yu Ji to the front, pretending to be fleeing, and Chen Lan led the army to chase behind.

"Lord, this Chen Lan is an unfaithful and unrighteous villain, and his martial arts are mediocre, and he has no great skills, why do you want to surrender to him?" Xiang Yu said disdainfully: "He wants to be in our army, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to be a soldier." ”

"General Xiang doesn't have to be angry, it's not too late to deal with him after we capture Yangzhou, now... You might as well let him help deceive the gates of Wanling City. Besides, although Chen Lan is useless, the soldiers and horses under his command are treasures, if I don't surrender him, how can I bring 10,000 iron horsemen to Danyang? ”

"Eh... The lord is wise. ”

In a few days, Lu Bu and his entourage, passing through Wu County, detoured to Danyang, and galloped for more than 600 miles.

Chen Lan always followed behind, not daring to approach, nor daring to fall behind.

On this day, the army finally arrived at Wanling City, and Chen Lan stepped forward and shouted: "The general Chen Lan, who was ordered to pursue Lu Bu, passed by Wanling City, and wanted to stay and rest temporarily, let Lord Yuan open the door quickly, the soldiers are exhausted." ”

Yuan Yin walked up to the city tower, and when he saw that tens of thousands of iron horsemen had arrived, he immediately said excitedly: "Great, God help me!" Now Danyang County is saved. Open the gates. ”

He didn't doubt Chen Lan's words in the slightest.

After the city gate was opened, Chen Lan led his army in. Behind him, followed by Lu Bu, Xiang Yu, Li Yuanba, and Yu Ji. After entering the city, he immediately revealed his identity and killed Yuan Yin, the Taishou of Danyang County!

Since then, Danyang County has changed hands!
