Chapter 1313: The granary caught fire

The granary of Dongdaying has become a devil's hell at this time, and the tragedy of the battle is far beyond Fan Wenyuan's imagination. The soldiers of the Dingguo Army knew the importance of the granary, so they all blocked the door of the granary and fought to the death. However, Chai Jin was well prepared, and the two crashing trees cooperated with each other, and finally stepped on the wooden gate, and when the granary gate was destroyed, the commander of the granary, Hagelun, ordered to retreat to the fence outside the gate five zhang to defend. Near the fence, more than 200 soldiers of the Dingguo Army bravely and fearlessly blocked the crazy attack of the rebels, they had the body to resist countless knives and guns, one fell, the other made up, Chai Jin was already shocked by the Dingguo Army in front of him, how did these soldiers who were not afraid of death exercise? There were more than 200 people, but it dragged on for half an hour, which was really terrifying. Chai Jin's ferocity was also slowly aroused, in the end, Chai Jin is also a person in the rivers and lakes, and his body has the character of a Jianghu person, seeing that he couldn't attack it for a long time, he scolded with a knife, "A group of waste, so many people can't take that bit of thieves for so long, it's really a shame." Huan Zhang, the people who led you up with me, Lao Tzu wants to see if these thieves have three heads and six arms? ”

In fact, the rebels can't be blamed for not being able to attack for a long time, the terrain in front of the granary fence is narrow, and it can't give full play to the advantage of troops at all, plus Hagellan's bloody battle, so he persevered. Chai Jin personally led the troops into the granary, and led the pro-army team composed of Jianghu people under his command to pounce, and the situation was suddenly reversed. Hagelen was seriously injured and fell, and no one could command the defense, Fan Wenyuan's soldiers and horses were dragged outside again, and the defense line that the granary defenders had worked so hard to support was broken through in an instant. Without the protection of the fence, the rebels advanced very smoothly, and in the face of the rebels who had far more troops than themselves, the soldiers of the Dingguo Army resisted to the death, and they were inevitably destroyed after all. The one who can guard the granary must be a veteran of the battlefield from Dayangtan who has undergone countless experiences. Many of them are from Guanzhong, and they have experienced first-hand how their families lived a good life step by step under the rule of King Qin, and they know how reliable His Royal Highness King Qin's promises are, even if they die in battle, their families will receive a part of the pension every month, and future generations will be taken care of accordingly. The granary is crucial, and death is going to die here. Bai Jingfeng is 31 years old this year, and it has been seven years since he entered Dayangtan, and he has grown from a 24-year-old young man to a 30-year-old veteran, which is a rare wealth for the Dingguo Army. The year before last, Bai Jingfeng, who was the deputy commander, returned to Dayangtan at the request of General Zhang Gong, picked up the whip of the instructor, and stayed in Dayangtan for two years. If it weren't for General Zhang Gong's accident, if it weren't for the menacing Chai family, maybe Bai Jingfeng would still be teaching those batches of recruits in Dayangtan. In order to go to the front, Bai Jingfeng abandoned the position of commander and preferred to be a veteran guarding the granary. Hagellen died in battle, Bai Jingfeng became the last reliance of this remnant army, watching more and more rebels pour in, Bai Jingfeng tore off a piece of cloth, tightly wrapped the steel knife with his right hand, and faced those bright knives and guns, he stood up straight, his eyes were full of madness, "Great Qin, never die, never die, His Royal Highness King Qin, Wan Sheng, His Royal Highness King Qin, Wan Sheng!" ”

There were only a dozen remnants of soldiers behind them, and they supported each other and shouted out with their last strength, "Great Qin, never die, His Royal Highness the King of Qin...... Wansheng ...... Wansheng! ”

In a troubled world, heroes are needed, maybe this is crazy worship, but only Zhao Yougong, the king of Qin, brought a glimmer of hope to the suffering Guanzhong and the suffering Great Song Dynasty. Who made the Song people straighten up again, and who made the Great Song regain their backbone? It is him, for His Royal Highness the King of Qin, even if he dies in battle, he still has no regrets, and it is the glory of a lifetime to be a soldier of His Royal Highness the King of Qin in this life, and perhaps thousands of years later, future generations will still be proud of it. Because, after all, this group of people will create a miracle and lead an era.

The decisive charge is a fight to hell, Bai Jingfeng knows that he will not survive, and the people behind him will not survive, they will not or watch the granary fall into the hands of the enemy. Too many rebels surrounded him, and one by one the soldiers of the Dingguo Army fell, and in the end, only the scarred Bai Jingfeng remained, leaning against a wooden stake, on which a double dragon military flag fluttered. More than a dozen remnants, the shock brought by their sworn charge was strong, everyone thought that Bai Jingfeng and these people would surrender, but who knows, they will resolutely choose death, especially the smile on Bai Jingfeng's face, it looks so incomprehensible and so weird.

Chai Jin separated the crowd and strode up, he looked up at the Shuanglong Army Flag over there, and then looked at Bai Jingfeng, who had no more life, and said earnestly, "Brother, your bravery has won respect, you are worthy of being a soldier of the Dingguo Army, now, let's surrender, I believe that even if Zhao Yougong is here, he will not blame you." Also, what's your name? ”

"White... Scenery... Peaks, under the military flag, there has never been a coward... Hehe..."Looking at the distant night sky, Bai Jingfeng thought of the bloody battle under Wuzhou City back then, when the military flag fluttered over Wuzhou City for the first time, the Dingguo Army stood up, today, how could he fall in his hands Bai Jingfeng? An ordinary veteran, a proud man from Dayangtan, he leaned on the military flag and did not move away until he died.

The rebels took the granary, but for some reason, they didn't feel a trace of happiness, they seemed to see the future, with such a group of heroic soldiers, the road to the middle of the pass would become extremely difficult. The battle of the granary was over, Chai Jin immediately divided his troops to rush to the outer defense line, and saw Huan Zhang personally leading the troops over, Fan Wenyuan knew that the granary had been controlled by the rebels, and he tried to calm himself down and gave the order to retreat. The granary is not there, and it will be a senseless casualty if it continues to fight.

With the fall of the granary, the rebels swarmed in and occupied a large part of the camp area in the East Battalion, and Chai Keyan was already sitting in the tent of the East Camp to command the battle. It was only a matter of time before the eastern battalion fell, and almost at the same time, the main force of the rebels, who had received the news, gathered all their troops and horses in the eastern defense area, and the western front and the central line stopped the attack. This is because the rebels stopped attacking, and the officers and men of the Dingguo Army stationed in the central and western defense areas were not happy at all, because they knew that the rebels were doing it on purpose, and they wanted to regroup, cooperate with the soldiers and horses in the north to break through the eastern defense area, and when it was dawn, they could attack directly from the east.

In the camp, a group of grizzled generals gathered, and Pang He had a gloomy face, almost like a cannibal. The East Camp fell, all the grain and grass were taken away by the rebels, everything came too fast, and there was no time to react. At this moment, as long as you have a brain, you can feel how dangerous the situation of Ding Guojun is, Guan Sheng just rushed back, and said a little unwillingly, "General, let the last general lead the troops to the eastern front, we may not be able to stop the rebels if we increase the troops on the eastern front." ”

"No, tell everyone, no one should reinforce the Eastern Front, this is a military order, whoever dares to disobey will be dealt with by military law" Pang He stared at a pair of red eyes, extremely terrifying, no matter how heart-wrenching the situation was, Pang He did not lose his reason. It is absolutely impossible to increase troops on the Eastern Front, at this time to increase troops on the Eastern Front, Chai Keyan must not laugh and go crazy, the grain and grass are gone, and all the soldiers and horses stationed on the Eastern Front must face the situation of having no food. The rebels did not need to capture the Eastern Front at all, they only needed to continue to increase the pressure, at most only two days, and the defenders of the Eastern Front would collapse if they had no more food to eat. Therefore, at this time, it will not help to send many people to the Eastern Front, and the most important thing now is how to withdraw the defenders of the Eastern Front.

At this time, Xiao Yue and Hu Yanzhuo, who were stationed on the eastern front, were also doing the same thing, and the first thing Xiao Yue did was to send people to rush back to the rear and inform Pang He not to send reinforcements. The rebels pressed over with heavy troops, but they were not in a hurry to attack, and their intention was obvious, that is, to attract more soldiers of the Dingguo Army to the Eastern Front.

Retreat has become a big problem for Xiao Yue, an army of nearly 14,000 people, how easy is it to withdraw under the heavy surveillance of the rebels?

The clouds of war hung over all the soldiers of the Dingguo Army, and for these soldiers of the Eastern Front Defense Zone, they were faced with the possibility of being strangled at any time. However, a large number of rebels on the opposite side seemed to have stopped, and the rebels occupying the eastern camp did not show the slightest sign of flanking to the south. No, the rebels will not be so merciful, Xiao Yue knows, and ordinary soldiers also know that the rebels want to use the Eastern Front defense area to do more. The Eastern Front Defense Area is under tremendous pressure, and Pang He and others are also trying to withdraw these people. The rebel army pressed the border, and there were soldiers and horses in the middle to outflank it, and it was difficult for the soldiers on the eastern front to withdraw by themselves. How to open this dilemma, it seems that there is no effective way to find it in a short period of time.

Pang He was at a loss, the generals in the tent were also frowning, the atmosphere was very depressing, Fan Wenyuan couldn't stand this dull atmosphere the most, the rebels had already occupied the East Battalion, and if they continued to be so passive, I am afraid not to mention the lives of the soldiers on the Eastern Front, even the rest of the people may not be better, he stiffened his neck and said, "General, we are so passively beaten, we have no chance at all, the last general feels that it is better to gather heavy troops to take the initiative to attack, now Chai Jin and Chai Keyan are in the East Battalion, If we can recapture Dongdaying as quickly as possible and threaten Chai Keyan's life, there may be a turnaround, otherwise we will have no choice until tomorrow dawn when the rebels launch a general attack. ”

What Fan Wenyuan said is also true, after dawn, with the strong strength of the rebels, under the front and rear attacks, I am afraid that none of the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses on the eastern front will be able to escape. Pang He didn't think about this method, but she always felt that the nature of this gamble was too big, not to mention whether they could take the Dongdaying in time, let's just say that the Chai family themselves, they dared to raid the Dongdaying and control the granary, would they not be prepared at all? The intact East Daying is a bait that catches someone else's bait. If you lead your troops to attack the Eastern Battalion, I am afraid that most of them will be ambushed by the rebels, but Fan Wenyuan is right about one thing, we must find a way to regain the initiative, otherwise all the soldiers on the Eastern Front will have to be buried in the defense area. Waving his hand, he motioned for the others to step back first, leaving Pang He alone in the tent, he walked up and down the table, sometimes frowning, sometimes stretching, his expression was very entangled, and after a long time, the discussion began again. The generals sat down, Pang He held the table with both hands, but his eyes fell on Mu Ali, "General Mu, Ben will give you a thousand soldiers, can you destroy the granary of Dongdaying?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and with a thousand people to attack the granary of Dongdaying, it must be a charge of death and life. It's not that you don't fight the East Camp, but why do you let people launch a desperate charge against the granary, just to destroy the granary, not to recapture the East Camp. To everyone's surprise, Mu Ali stood up suddenly, clenched his right hand into a fist and slapped his chest fiercely, "Marshal, leave this task to the last general, the last general will definitely be able to destroy the granary and not leave a grain of grain for the rebels." ”

Mu Ali finished speaking, Guan Sheng also got up, and he said urgently, "General, let the last general go!" "Guan Sheng must stand up, as we all know, Mu Ali is Princess Xiao's confidant and beloved general, and he is the commander of her personal soldiers, this kind of task of death and life let him go, how to explain it to Princess Xiao? Mu Ali patted Guan Sheng on the shoulder and said with a calm smile, "General Guan, don't fight, this matter is only for me to do, you don't know how to sneak into the granary." ”

Maybe this is Pang He's helplessness, but also Mu Ali's helplessness, in Mu Ali's hands is holding a death squad of more than 1,000 people, they are the best among the children of the B Army, they are the bravest hunters on the grassland, they know how to camouflage and lurk, and they know how to advance unexpectedly. When the special operations battalion under the command of General Niu Gao was not there, the only one who could complete this task was the death squad under the command of Mu Ali. Listening to Mu Ali's words, the others seemed to understand why Pang He wanted to name Mu Ali alone, holding a thousand-person death squad in his hand, it was an honor and a responsibility, they enjoyed the most solemn treatment, and they also had to endure the most difficult tests. Mu Ali also knew that his chances of surviving were very slim, even if he was a thousand-person death squad warrior, in the face of many rebels, he was still invincible with two fists and four hands, but Mu Ali accepted it gladly, and had no regrets. Guanzhong Qin Wangfu, not only the glory of the Han soldiers, but also has the blood left by countless B room military characters, winning the world, not only the pursuit of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, but also the wish of Princess Xiao Zhiyun, he Mu Ali is the most loyal B room army disciple, he has the surging blood of the Bali clan.

"Marshal, please tell His Highness and the princess that Mu Ali is their sharpest sword and gun, and the warriors of the B Chamber Army will never flinch, please give the order" Mu Ali took two steps back, stood up straight, and at this moment, the generals who had looked down on Mu Ali all showed respect. Pang He nodded, and at the same time looked at the others in the tent, "Guan Sheng, Luda, and Wu Song listen to the order, wait for the fire in the granary of the East Daying, and gather troops and horses to advance south, and target Fenglei Town." No matter what method is used, do you understand that you want to attract the main rebel forces in the south of the Eastern Front to Fenglei Town and buy time for the main soldiers of the Eastern Front to retreat? ”

At this time, these generals who had commanded the army for many years finally understood Pang He's intentions, and the rebels attacked the granary of the Dingguo Army, and the Dingguo Army also had to do something to the grain and grass of the Chai family. Since the rebels advanced to the south bank of Fenglingdu, in order to facilitate supply, shorten the distance of baggage, and better protect the grain and grass, most of the grain and grass were concentrated in Fenglei Town from Shangzhou and Shangluo, and the strong attack on Fenglei Town would make the rebels feel great pressure. It is true that the rebels have just taken the Dongdaying granary, and it seems that they don't have to worry too much about the safety of Fenglei Town, but the premise is that if Mu Ali can really destroy the Dongdaying granary? Everything is locked on Mu Ali, whether Mu Ali can complete the task or not determines whether he can attack Fenglei Town, and also determines the life and death of more than 10,000 main forces on the Eastern Front.

The night breeze is dashing, with a hint of desolation, it is a kind of coldness from the heart, even if the sweat on the forehead still can't stop the sadness in the heart. A thousand warriors of the B Room Army stood in front of them, dressed in black and carrying strong bows, as if they were one with the night. They are the best warriors of the northern steppes, they can gallop on their horses, and they can shoot them all. Pang He's heart hurts, I don't know how many Khitan warriors from the north will return after tonight, but the responsibility on them is irreplaceable by others, "Wine!" ”

Bowls of strong wine were served, and the intoxicating aroma of wine wafted outside the big tent, there were no grandiose words, only relieved eyes, Pang He raised the bowl and said loudly, "Drink!" There are no yurt dances here, but there is an intoxicating aroma. There are no blooming flowers here, but there are bloody warriors, you are the pride of the B Army, the outstanding descendants of the Balli clan, go, Guanzhong will remember your name, and future generations will be proud of you! ”

More than 1,000 warriors, they were enthusiastic, drank the liquor in the bowl, and at the same time raised it high, leaving the most beautiful voice, "The earth is uplifted, the gods are shrouded, and the gods have bestowed their allegiance to His Highness and the princess, and we will swear allegiance to the death!" ”

When the liquor was drunk, it was the footsteps of the journey, and Mu Ali said goodbye to his comrades who had sent him off, and resolutely marched towards the east, and they disappeared into the night, and also disappeared from everyone's sight. Mu Ali knew how important his mission was tonight, and he could only take the granary in one fell swoop if he turned himself into a ghost. When he was about to enter the range of the eastern camp, Mu Ali began to formulate an attack plan, he divided the more than 1,000 people into four parts, scattered, and only one of them was really responsible for the main task of attacking the granary. Dongdaying, who had been silent for a long time, was once again awakened by the sound of fighting on the periphery, in fact, Chai Keyan did not fall asleep, she had long expected that Pang He would not be restrained, and he would definitely find a way to save the main force of the Eastern Front. It was an army of nearly 15,000 men, which was particularly important for the Fenglingdu defense line, which lacked troops. In Chai Keyan's expectation, Pang He would definitely storm the Eastern Battalion, in order to attract more soldiers and horses to move to the Eastern Battalion, so as to reduce the pressure on the main force on the Eastern Front. The peripheral war came at a very good time, according to expectations, Pang He should also attack, the spies came to report, but the information was very vague, Chai Keyan couldn't help asking, "What is the strength of the thief soldiers, who is in charge?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the thief attack was very fierce, several defense areas outside the camp were attacked by the thief soldiers, from the offensive point of view, the number is no less than 20,000, as for the specific number, because the sky is too dark, it is impossible to identify. For the person who commands the army, we are still investigating" The answer given by the scout did not satisfy Chai Keyan, 20,000 troops, how could Pang He have such courage to put all the remaining main forces into it at once? Even if Pang He stormed the East Camp, he shouldn't be so anxious, something was wrong. Despite Chai Keyan's suspicions, the illusion created by the death squad's strong will to fight still confused many people, at least all the rebel generals who were attacked felt that the enemy had used no less than 10,000 troops. The night was dark, and the death squad soldiers deceived many with their lives, but how long could this scam last when it was almost dawn?

Mu Ali led the people to sneak quietly, in order to avoid the main force of the rebels, he sneaked from the bank of the Yellow River, and encountered several rebel secret posts along the way. Along the way, just alarm a sentry and the rebels will react immediately. Mu Ali had to be careful, because every time he took a step forward, one of the warriors of the B Army on the outskirts of the East Camp would die, and all the time and space were won by the warriors with blood. Finally came to the familiar Dongdaying granary, Mu Ali's eyes showed a bloodthirsty light, he licked his lips, "Cao Ji, Wu Lengyan, take your people to kill the people on the arrow tower, and the rest of the people rush in with me, remember, your target is grain and grass." After succeeding, he immediately gathered soldiers and horses to block the entrance to the granary, and Lao Tzu wanted to burn all the grain and grass tonight, leaving not a grain for the rebels to eat. ”

Mu Ali and even the people he brought with him knew that the chances of surviving tonight were almost zero, so they had crazy thoughts that since they came, they didn't plan to leave. The rebels obviously did not expect that the Dingguo Army would launch another surprise attack on the granary, let alone that so many people would come with the determination to die. Cao Ji and Wu Lengyan were both powerful hunters, and they silently killed the people on the arrow towers on both sides with the strong bows in their hands, and then, Mu Ali led his troops to break through the main gate, and the unsuspecting rebels were immediately killed by this group of bloodthirsty madmen and fled. At this time, Chai Jin had already transferred most of his troops and horses to the front line to resist the counterattack of the Dingguo army, and the more than 300 people who remained in the granary could not block Mu Ali's attack. What's more, after Mu Ali rushed into the granary, he didn't kill much at all, and immediately sprinkled the oil he brought on the grain and grass, and a fire soon swept through the entire granary, and when the fire spread, the first thing Mu Ali did was to lead his troops to block the gate and not give the rebels a chance to rescue.

The granary suddenly burst into flames, if you can't react at this time, it will be too much of a failure, Chai Keyan had a gloomy face, and the joy of the previous victory was also swept away, she knew that she was tricked by Pang He, and the attack on the East Camp must not be 20,000 people, I'm afraid there are not even 5,000 people, everything he did was to cover the sneak attack on the granary. However, Pang He is crazy, why did he attack the granary, the Dongdaying granary is very important to the Dingguo army, but it is not important to the Chai army, without the Dongdaying granary, Fenglei Town and Hangu Pass can still provide baggage supplies. Pang He, what the hell do you want to do, aren't those who enter the East Camp and destroy the granary certain death?

There is no need for Chai to speak, Chai Jin has already led people to the granary, looking at the fire in front of him, Chai Jinqi's eyebrows are upside down, and he can't wait to swallow those bad things The soldiers of the Dingguo Army. Chai Jin recognized the man at the door, he was the Khitan madman Mu Ali, known as Xiao Zhiyun's most loyal lackey, "Mu Ali, Lao Tzu killed you today!" ”

"Chai Daguan, come on, see whose knife is sharper" Mu Ali wanted to laugh, since he dared to do this, he didn't plan to live, and the ridiculous Chai Jin threatened with death. At this time, this scene did not need too many words, Chai Jin's troops and Mu Ali's remnants immediately exchanged hands, and the two sides did not give in to each other, and the blood stained the dry ground red again. For Mu Ali, he has completed his mission, and the next step is to calmly face death.

Behind him was a sky-high fire, reflecting half of the sky, like blood, piercing the eyeballs, and Mu Ali finally fell, he merged with the granary, and his body fell into the fire. On a thrilling night, more than 1,000 warriors of the B Room Army fought in just one hour, and in the end, only more than 40 people survived. Pang He broke the sharp knife with his own hands, but the knife was worth it.

Mu Ali and his warriors of the B Room Army went through a battle, almost all of them were buried in the East Battalion, when the granary was burned, and then, the battle on the periphery of the camp gradually fell silent, almost half of the soldiers and horses of the Chai clan gathered to the north, trying to block this group of Dingguo troops who dared to attack, but they pounced on the air, until they really blocked the back road, only to know that the so-called army was only a few dozen people left under the cover of night. The granary caught fire, Mu Ali burned the land with blood, and with the retreat of the Dingguo army, Chai Keyan finally understood, Pang He is a Khitan hero, Wen Taowu is strategic, and his command ability is not under Han Shizhong at all, if he really wants to take the East Daying, will he burn the granary? No, Pang He would not do such a stupid thing, even if the granary was destroyed, it would be the Dingguo army and not the Chai army that would be short of food at that time. Pang He must have other plans, and the target of the Dingguo Army is definitely not Dongda Battalion.

Chai Keyan frowned, looking very anxious, Chai Jin hurried back, and said with a somewhat disgraced face, "Queen Mother, the thieves have all withdrawn, and the granary has also been burned down, what does Pang He want to do?" ”

Raising her head, Chai Keyan clenched her fists and gently slammed the table, she vaguely guessed Pang He's intention in her heart, "Chai Jin, immediately order Chai Yonghao to return all the soldiers and horses supporting the Eastern Battalion in situ, and the main army attacking the Eastern Front will retreat south with half of its men to prevent the Dingguo Army from sneaking up on Fenglei Town." In addition, he ordered Wu Liang's troops to make a detour to the west, striving to block the road to the south of the Dingguo army in the west. ”

Chai Jin looked at Chai Keyan with some hesitation, this order is too surprising, now that the eastern camp is occupied, the granary is gone, and the main army of Pang He in the west still dares to attack Fenglei Town in the south? Is there something wrong with Pang He's head, he is not afraid of being blocked by the Chai army, and the whole army will be buried on the south bank of Fenglingdu? But the military order was so that it could not be disobeyed, and half an hour later, the Chai army, which was resting in place, received the military order from the East Battalion, and after receiving the military order, Chai Yonghao immediately commanded the troops to retreat to the southwest again. At the same time, Wu Liang's troops made a detour from the eastern front to the west, but Wu Liang's speed was still too slow. Pang He took Guan Sheng as the spearhead and ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses to break through the three defensive lines in the south in one fell swoop. Since the Chai clan shifted most of his energy to the eastern front, he couldn't resist the sharp surprise attack of Guan Sheng's department, and in an hour, the three lines of defense were broken through one after another, and since then, the road to the south to attack Fenglei Town has been opened. Pang He's army did not hesitate, the whole army advanced southward, until the early morning of the next day, the main force of the whole army attacked more than 25,000 people in two parts to advance in the direction of Fenglei Town, at this time there were only 4,000 Chai soldiers and horses between Fenglei Town and Fenglingdu. These soldiers and horses are used to escort grain and grass, and they can't be compared with the elite soldiers and horses on the front line, how can they resist the attack of Pang He's main army by relying on these people. At this point, Pang He's offensive intentions were also exposed in front of the Chai army, and Fenglei Town had too much grain and grass stored in the Chai army, and once it was destroyed, the consequences would be unimaginable. Pang He first asked Mu Ali to destroy the granary of Dongdaying with a suicidal charge, and then if he returned to Fenglei Town, then the Dingguo army on the south bank and the Chai army would fall into a situation where there was no food to eat. If you don't want grain and grass, it's obviously Chai's loss. It took a lot of hard work for the Chai family to make a decisive breakthrough from Fenglingdu, and in the case of a big advantage, it would be a pity if it was forced to be tied by the Dingguo Army. Pang He's offensive intention was very obvious, and Wu Liang's speed was not fast enough, and he did not block the western defense line at all, causing the main army of the entire eastern front to fall into passivity.

Although Chai Yonghao led nearly half of the army to retreat to the southwest, after all, it was far away from water to quench the thirst of the near, at this time Chai's army was facing a dilemma, whether to take advantage of the clear sky and concentrate troops to exterminate the Dingguo Army on the Eastern Front, or to draw enough soldiers and horses to rescue Fenglei Town? When this problem was placed in front of Chai Keyan, Chai Keyan could only sigh helplessly, because she had no choice at all. It is good to destroy the more than 10,000 troops of Xiao Yue and Hu Yanzhuo on the eastern front, but once Fenglei Town is not protected and the baggage is destroyed, the offensive of the hundreds of thousands of troops will come to an abrupt end, which means that the entire Guanzhong strategy will end here. Nearly 200,000 troops were raised, and heavy troops were hoarded in Fenglingdu, not only to exterminate a part of the Dingguo army, but to cross Fenglingdu and advance into Guanzhong. Chai Keyan could only choose to rush to the aid of Wind Thunder Town, which was the basis for the more than 100,000 troops to continue fighting. With the transfer of the Chai army on the eastern front in the direction of Fenglei Town, the seamless siege inevitably appeared a lot of loopholes. Before, nearly 80,000 troops surrounded the eastern front defense area, Xiao Yue's soldiers and horses can be said to be difficult to fly, and now almost two-thirds of Chai's soldiers and horses are concerned about Fenglei Town, and they are ordered to assemble in Fenglei Town, and there are more than 30,000 soldiers and horses left on the eastern front. These more than 30,000 people have to defend the elite army of more than 14,000 Dingguo Army, how easy it is to say, Xiao Yue doesn't know if Pang He really wants to fight Fenglei Town, but what he has to do is to open a gap before the main force of the Chai army returns to the eastern front, and lead the brothers to break out of the encirclement.

Wind Thunder Town is the place where Chai's army has to be saved, and now the four thousand logistics soldiers stationed in the northeast of Wind Thunder Town have become Chai's biggest reliance. Chai Yonghao galloped wildly, his biggest wish now was that the four thousand heavy soldiers could hold on until the army arrived, if the Dingguo army was the first to break through Fenglei Town, then the grain and grass would definitely not be able to be saved. Chai Yonghao was worried, Pang He's mood was also not very good, and the pressure he was facing at this time was no less than Chai Yonghao. If you really want to break through Fenglei Town and destroy the rebels' food and grass, it will be much simpler, with the fierce generals under your command and more than 20,000 elite soldiers and horses, as long as you rush forward, you are ninety percent sure that you can take Fenglei Town before the main force of the rebels arrives. But Pang He didn't really want to fight Fenglei Town, what he wanted was to lead as many brothers as possible to withdraw to the north shore of Fenglingdu. It is good to take Fenglei Town, but the consequence of doing so is that it will inevitably become a lone army, and under the siege of the rebels, the more than 20,000 troops will only be destroyed.

From the dispatch of troops to the present, Pang He has been sending scouts to pay attention to every move of the main rebel army on the Eastern Front, and when the main rebel force on the Eastern Front began to move in the direction of Fenglei Town, his first thought was how to withdraw unharmed while attracting more rebels. It is easy to retreat, the key is to get the right time, if it is too early, it will make the Chai clan react, and when the time comes, people will not forget the transfer of Fenglei Town and return to the eastern front, then Xiao Yue's eastern front army will be trapped again. If it is too late, Wu Liang's army will completely block the way for the army to retreat, and when the time comes, Xiao Yue's army will be saved, and more than 20,000 troops on his side will fall into it. Pang He pondered for a long time, and then called Fan Wenyuan over, "Fan Wenyuan, I will give you two thousand soldiers and horses, no matter what method you use, you must break through the rebel frontline defense line within half an hour and open the door to Fenglei Town for the main force of the army." ”

"Don't worry, the last general will definitely live up to his mission" Fan Wenyuan got the order and ran out in a hurry, and after Fan Wenyuan left, Yang Zhi also got the order. Pang He gave Yang Zhi 8,000 troops and transferred his own troops to Yang Zhi, Yang Zhi's task was also the most difficult, he needed to rely on these 8,000 troops to block the main rebel force on the eastern front, reduce the speed of their rush to the wind and thunder town, and the main attack was Guan Sheng.

In the northeast of Fenglei Town, the four thousand baggage soldiers were already panicked, and it was because their combat effectiveness was not strong that they were assigned to the rear to be responsible for transporting the baggage, but they were facing such great pressure at this time. The Dingguo Army is brave and good at fighting, as everyone knows, now the Dingguo Army is overwhelmed on the Eastern Front, and the Western Front Army has sprinkled all the fire in the direction of Fenglei Town, can a person like himself really resist it? It's very interesting to talk about the main general of this army of soldiers and horses, this person has a face like jade, he is born with a dignified appearance, and there is a very wonderful name called Zhou Zihao. Zhou Zihao is not an ordinary person, he is Chai Keyan's cousin, and it is rumored in the army that Zhou Zihao has an ambiguous relationship with the Queen Mother, and there is a possibility of entering the Luoyang Palace. It's not that others chew the root of their tongues, it's really Chai's arrangement of Zhou Zihao that has to make people think more, Zhou Zihao is a person with outstanding appearance and some talent, but to say that the ability to lead troops to fight and fight before the battle is almost zero, but such a person, but he has achieved the position of the commander of the front of the palace, it can't help but make people think more. In fact, Chai Keyan also really thought about accepting Zhou Zihao as his husband, because Zhou Zihao is very obedient, and the palace also needs an adult man to stand in front of people to block the limelight. Throwing Zhou Zihao into the grain and grass to escort the soldiers and horses is to let him fish for military merits in the rear, and when the time comes, let Zhou Zihao enter the palace, others can't say anything, and at the same time can win the hearts of the Zhou family. But no one expected that the rear, which should have been very safe, would become the most dangerous place.

In front of the formation, the soldiers were all waiting for the attack of the Dingguo Army, but the real commander Zhou Zihao was already pale, and his legs were trembling. Zhou Zihao originally had no ambitions, and he spent his days reciting poems and writing, and marrying a few beauties was his greatest pursuit. couldn't stand his father's nagging, he had to marry his cousin, saying that the building near the water would get the moon first. Well, now for the so-called dream of marrying a cousin, my life is about to die. Zhou Zihao heard that the Dingguo Army could fight, so he was very scared. But Fan Wenyuan has not been so many years, he held the treasure knife, rushed to the front of the team, looked at the enemy in front of him, and shouted, "The shield is forward, the spearman is behind, rush!" ”

"Kill...... "More than 2,000 Dingguo army foot soldiers roared together, making a group of grain and grass soldiers who had not experienced the battle array panic, as soon as he saw the Dingguo army rushing over fearlessly, Zhou Zihao was so frightened that he had no idea, and he sat on the horse and shouted in no order, "Hurry, move forward, block the thief, block the thief!" ”

Zhou Zihao showed cowardice as soon as he spoke, and the group of grain and grass soldiers under him were even more unbearable, and before the battle was fought, the commander was scared like this bear, how to fight this battle. Zhou Zihao retreated vigorously, wanting to flee for his life, but the soldiers would not be willing to be substitutes for the dead, and before the battle began, Chai's soldiers and horses were already thinking about how to escape. The soldiers in front were directly led by Fan Wenyuan to charge, and directly tore open a gap, but the worst thing was that Zhou Zihao saw that the big array was easily cut, and he screamed in fright, turned the horse's head and ran in the direction of Fenglei Town, and did not forget to shout anxiously while beating the horse, "Brothers, run, the thief is amazing!" ”

Zhou Zihao's department collapsed as soon as he rushed, and even Fan Wenyuan was dumbfounded, even a group of grain and grass soldiers should not be this combat effectiveness, the order given by the general was to break through the defense line within half an hour, and now it's okay, even a quarter of an hour of his mother can't be used. When the news reached the rear, Pang He was also stunned, in fact, Pang He didn't want Zhou Zihao to retreat, Zhou Zihao ran away so rarely, should he continue to advance towards Fenglei Town, or retreat? If you continue to advance, you will go too deep, and it will not be so easy to withdraw it. No one expected that Zhou Zihao's escape behavior would create a big problem for Pang He. If the main force of the Dingguo Army was stationed here or retreated, the generals of the Chai clan would definitely react and easily repel Zhou Zihao, but did not move forward, which clearly had other plans. However, Pang He couldn't order to continue to move forward, and if he moved forward, after approaching Fenglei Town, the distance between him and the Western Battalion would increase, and Wu Liang would have a calm time to deploy his troops and completely block the back road, even if the back road was not blocked, just being entangled by the main force of the rebels on the Eastern Front would not be too wonderful. Pang He didn't expect that he was well prepared, and even asked Fan Wenyuan to forcibly attack Zhou Zihao's department with 2,000 soldiers and horses, just to create the illusion that the battle was miserable, but he was afraid that Fan Wenyuan would break through too easily, so he didn't dare to send more people, but he didn't expect to run into Zhou Zihao, the general who escaped, "Damn, Pang Mou has fought a battle all his life, and it is the first time he has encountered a general like Zhou Zihao, and he fled so completely that he didn't even have soldiers and horses behind the palace." ”

Guan Sheng was a little dizzy, Fan Wenyuan easily broke through the rebel defense line with two thousand soldiers and horses, why was the general unhappy but angry? What did Pang He think, Guan Sheng couldn't guess a little, but he knew that his task should be to lead the army to continue to advance from the front, and at this time, seeing Pang He's cannibalistic expression, he couldn't help but hesitate a little, "General, then do you want to continue the pursuit." ”

Pang He stared at each other, and said angrily, "What to chase, and then lead the troops deeper, but there is really no way to withdraw, now you can only see how lucky, Guan Sheng, you order the people under your command to disperse, find some things that cause fire, and make more smoke, in addition, find the corpses of the rebels, change into their clothes, you personally lead them to fight with Fan Wenyuan, remember to pretend to be like a little, the worse the fight, the better, I hope you can deceive the rebels to explore the horse." ”
