Wang Meng finally took Wancheng, Ji Ling, and Xun Zheng were beheaded by Yang Zaixing, and Le was assassinated by Dian Wei with a halberd. The 50,000 Yuan troops www.biquge.info suffered thousands of casualties and more than 20,000 prisoners, leaving only more than 10,000 people to flee eastward. Wang Meng led the army into Wancheng, counting the casualties on the one hand, and making people Pegasus report to Chang'an.

At this time, in Xinye, south of Wancheng, Chang Yuchun finally received the news that Hou Junji's army in the north was retreating north, and Hou Junji also released the news: "The Son of Heaven is in Wancheng, he wants to lead his troops north to Wancheng to capture the Son of Heaven!"

But Hou Junji pretended to go north, but in fact he set up an ambush on the road, and when Chang Yuchun's soldiers and horses arrived, he led his troops to kill, and the Jingzhou soldiers and horses behind Chang Yuchun's soldiers and horses also took advantage of the situation to defeat Chang Yuchun. As for capturing Liu Bian, Hou Junji was not in a hurry, he knew that Ji Ling's talent could not hold Liu Bian.

After Hou Junji released the news, the Han army scouts were shocked, and the Son of Heaven came to Wancheng? If Hou Jun's army goes north and unites with Ji Ling's soldiers and horses, it will be unfavorable to the Son of Heaven...... The scout hurriedly flew back to report to Chang Yuchun.

"This is Hou Junji's conspiracy, the Son of Heaven is not in Wancheng, you don't need to make a big noise, just continue to investigate!" Chang Yuchun asked the scouts not to panic, and immediately summoned Gan Ning and a group of generals and said: "Hou Junji went north under the slogan of capturing the Son of Heaven, the purpose is to lure out our army, I am afraid that he has already laid an ambush and waited for our army to enter!"

"How does the general know that this is Hou Junji's conspiracy, if the Son of Heaven is really in Wancheng, once there is a loss, can you afford this responsibility?"

A general who was worried about Liu Wei's safety asked.

"This attack on Wancheng was led by Wang Jingluo, and he had already sent someone to make a detour to inform me in advance that the Son of Heaven was not in the army, and it was he who released the news of the Son of Heaven in Wancheng to Hou Junji. The purpose is to create a chance for us to defeat Hou Junji! Now Hou Junji has really hit the plan, and our army is about to take the opportunity to defeat Yuan's army! Chang Yuchun explained to the generals.

Liu Wei's safety is very important, and this must be explained, otherwise these generals will not listen to his command.

After listening to Chang Yuchun's explanation, the generals were relieved. He arched his hand and said: "Since this is the general's plan, please give the general an order, and we should respect the general's order!"

Chang Yuchun nodded and said: "Hou Junji will definitely set up an ambush on the road, and the Jingzhou soldiers and horses must also be in the rear of our army, our army must not be guarded, if you rush forward and fall into an ambush, the Jingzhou soldiers will take advantage of the situation to kill, and the whole army must be annihilated!"

"So I decided to divide the troops into two routes, I led more than 20,000 troops to the north, Gan Ning led the cavalry to make a detour, prepared more bows and arrows, and waited for our army to fight a decisive battle with Yuan's army, Gan Ning, you intercepted the Jingzhou soldiers and horses behind! Don't let them join the fray! ”

"No!" The generals bowed their hands.

Immediately, Chang Yuchun and Gan Ning each divided their troops out of the city, went all the way to the north, and halfway to the road, Gan Ning left with the cavalry. Chang Yuchun led more than 20,000 troops to the north to chase Hou Jun and gather troops and horses.

When he came to a valley, but saw that the roads were full of dense forests on both sides, and it was extremely quiet, Chang Yuchun stopped his horse and ordered: "Set fire to this place for me!"

Chang Yuchun could see the abnormality of this place at a glance, if he was really anxious about Liu Wei's safety, he would naturally not wait slowly to set fire to the mountain, or send scouts to investigate. It's just that now his purpose is to defeat the Yuan army, and although the burning of the mountain delays time, it is the simplest and most effective way to deal with the Yuan army.

It was already May, and although it was raining, the weather was still dry, and although the trees were green, the fire burned and it didn't take long for a fire to start ablaze.

At this time, before the valley, Hou Junji took 10,000 soldiers and horses to prepare, only to wait for Chang Yuchun to enter the valley, the soldiers and horses in ambush on both sides pushed down the rolling stones, and he took the soldiers and horses to kill them when the arrows were fired. But it backfired, and the scout Pegasus reported: "General, the Chang Yuchun army did not enter the valley, but set fire to the mountain!"

"Set fire to the mountain? How did Chang Yuchun know that our army was ambushed here? Are you exposed? Hou Junji's face changed slightly.

"We are all according to the general's arrangement, and we are not exposed!"

Hou Junji said in a deep voice: "The trees are green now, the fire can only burn for a while, and it will weaken after a while, and the soldiers will continue to ambush, and often meet the spring and can not predict the prophet, Xu is to see that the terrain here is convenient for ambush, so he set fire to the mountain to explore the reality!"

"Yes!" The scouts hurriedly walked towards the mountains and forests on both sides, and instructed Yuan Jun not to act rashly.

Fires in the mountains and forests are increasing, but they are difficult to spread during this season, and they are first rapid and then slowly extinguished. Unlike in winter, when the grass and trees dry up, once ignited by fire, it is possible to burn for three days and three nights.

But the Yuan army ambushed in the mountains and forests did not understand this truth, although Hou Junji ordered not to act rashly, but the fire became bigger and bigger in the early stage, and it was coming towards them, but this group of Yuan troops was not calm. A few timid people began to panic and ran deeper into the forest.

As the saying goes, fire and water are ruthless, and people are most afraid of fire and water in addition to natural and man-made disasters! When the fire came, Yuan Jun suddenly panicked, and Yuan Jun's shouts sounded in the mountains and forests. After a while, the shouting became more violent, but the whole mountain forest was in an uproar.

The corners of Chang Yuchun's mouth hooked: "The ambushed Yuan army has been in chaos, the fire will not be extinguished, they dare not move, and quickly get out of the valley!"

Chang Yuchun took the lead, marching towards the valley with soldiers and horses, and the Yuan army ambushed on both sides was in chaos, and even the bows and arrows were discarded for fear of the mountain fire, where could they care about ambushing the Han army?

Under the leadership of Chang Yuchun, 20,000 Han troops crossed the valley unimpeded, and after the valley, they met 10,000 soldiers and horses gathered by Hou Jun.

"Quickly go and integrate the soldiers and horses on the mountain, and let them come down to defend against the enemy!" Hou Junji had lost a game in Champion County, knowing that the combat effectiveness of the Han army was far above his soldiers and horses, he only hoped that the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou would catch up, and the Yuan army in the mountains and forests would be killed as soon as possible, and many soldiers and horses would be able to defeat the Han army.

The two sides were killed in one place, and Chang Yuchun wanted to find Hou Junji to catch and fight, but Hou Junji was afraid of Chang Yuchun's bravery, so he only hid in the army and commanded, far away from Chang Yuchun. Chang Yuchun led his soldiers and horses to deal with the ordinary soldiers of the Yuan army, and Chang Yuchun dealt with these soldiers like an eagle pounced on a chicken, but there was no pressure on one shot at a time. Everywhere Chang Yuchun went, Yuan's army was all on their backs, with heavy casualties.

After often encountering the spring soldiers and horses, it was Wen Ping Wei Yan who chased after him with 15,000 Jingzhou soldiers and horses. A few miles before the valley, a cavalry was struck out of the oblique spur. Wen Ping watched the cavalry chase from afar, but his face changed and he ordered: "Line up to meet the enemy!"

Suddenly, the Jingzhou soldiers and horses set up a formation, and the shield soldiers held their shields high to guard against the direction of the cavalry. But the advantage of the cavalry is speed, as well as bows and arrows, and the tactics of flying kites have been passed from Longxi. The cavalry of the Han army has also been skillfully used, and suddenly a rain of arrows shot at the Jingzhou soldiers, although the Jingzhou soldiers had shield hands to block, but after all, they were lightly armed to chase, and the defense was not strong, and the Jingzhou soldiers and horses were killed and injured heavily. Wen Ping ordered the archers to shoot back, and Gan Ning took the cavalry back for a while, and when the Jingzhou soldiers and horses moved, Gan Ning took the cavalry out again, and made a detour to the weak defense of the Jingzhou soldiers to release arrows.

Jingzhou's soldiers and horses were blocked by cavalry, and it was difficult to move an inch, and once they forcibly marched, they were bound to suffer heavy losses. This Jingzhou soldier was stabilized, and he could not go forward to support the Yuan army and complete the task of attacking the rear army of Chang Yuchun.

"The whole army is closed, and the shield soldiers are slowly advancing!" Wen Ping reluctantly ordered.

The Jingzhou soldiers and horses suddenly stood up all at a distance, forming a circular phalanx, and the shield soldiers were in place to raise their shields to cover. In this way, the lethality of the bow and arrow is much reduced, but the speed of the march is as fast as a turtle. In Nanyang, where there are few horses, the cavalry has a great advantage over the infantry, and Wei Yan can't wait for horse warfare, but he doesn't know how to deal with it, so he has to move forward like this.

Gan Ning didn't attack either, but just ordered the soldiers to slowly release arrows to wear down the Jingzhou soldiers and horses, and dragged the Jingzhou soldiers and horses to prevent them from going north to join the battlefield.

Time gradually passed, the Yuan army and the Han army fought for a long time, the Yuan army was far from the opponent of the Han army, and because Hou Junji scattered the soldiers and horses, 20,000 troops were used for ambush, and they were burned by Chang Yuchun and did not dare to dispatch. Hou Junji's 10,000 army was defeated by the 20,000 soldiers and horses led by Chang Yuchun, and at this time the fire in the mountains and forests had been extinguished, but most of the Yuan army in ambush fled far away to avoid the fire, and more also lost bows and arrows.

"It's not that I, Hou Junji, are incompetent, but these soldiers really can't support the wall in the mud!" Hou Junji looked at the defeated Yuan soldiers, and said hatefully, the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou had not yet arrived, and he also knew that he was stopped by the Han army, and this time he was defeated again.

"The army retreats to Wancheng!" Hou Junji had no choice but to flee in the direction of Wancheng with the remaining thousands of people. Chang Yuchun did not chase after him, at this time the mountains were full of chaotic Yuan army, and the Jingzhou soldiers and horses in the rear also had to be dealt with.

Chang Yuchun commanded the soldiers and horses to capture Yuan Bing, and went to the rear on horseback. The Wenpin army was blocked by the Ganning cavalry, and when he heard the sound of fighting in front of him from afar, he felt bad, and he had the idea of retreating from his heart. Chang Yuchun came with horses, and he didn't talk nonsense, so he ordered Gan Ning to charge with the cavalry and kill the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou.

Jingzhou soldiers and horses fought for a while and could not resist, thanks to Wen Ping, Wei Yan bravely barely stopped the cavalry, and thousands of casualties also fled south to Fancheng, Wen Ping knew that the general trend had gone and wrote to Huang Zu of Nanxiang City, asking him to lead the army to retreat to Fancheng.

And Hou Junji rushed halfway and also learned the news that Wancheng was taken down and Ji Ling was killed, and Hou Junji realized that the letter was simply a conspiracy designed by him. But no matter how angry Hou Junji was, now that the general trend has gone, he only has thousands of defeated troops around him, and he can't do anything at all.

Hou Junji had to collect the rout along the way and flee to Runan County, Chang Yuchun expelled the Jingzhou soldiers, integrated the chaotic Yuan soldiers around him, and went all the way north, preparing to join Wang Meng's army in Wancheng.
