When Yue Shao'an arrived at Li Ran's defense area with his cavalry, it was already late, and the moonlight was sprinkled, shining through the faint blur on the city wall of the defense area, white, like a layer of silver frost.

The wind blew, a few fallen leaves scattered, and the sound of the sergeant at the head of the city cursing the weather came into his ears, and Yue Shaoan said in a deep voice: "Tell Li Ran that we are here, let him come out." ”

Zhang Hengti stepped forward immediately and said with full strength: "Commander Yue is here, please ask General Li to come out and speak." ”

The sergeant at the head of the city was in a panic, and after a while, a voice replied in a loud voice: "Someone has been sent to pass the ceremony, please wait a moment for Commander Yue." ”

Yue Shaoan raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, a stone's throw away from the city wall, looking at the soldiers on the city wall that was not too high, they were all on guard, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, this Li Ran was also too anxious, and it was so obvious that only a fool could not see that he was trying to rebel.

This side of the defense area is facing the army of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is so tight, who is this defense? Go without saying. However, if you change yourself, I'm afraid you have to do it, it's not obvious that it won't work, otherwise if the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty attack in, they won't even have the ability to resist, they are gambling with their lives on the other party's trust, obviously, Li Ran's courage is still not enough.

After waiting for a while, there was news from Li Ran's side again, only to hear the voice from before shouting again: "General Li has prepared a banquet, please invite Commander Yue to come in and talk." ”

"Commander?" Zhang Heng turned his head with a question on his face, and let Yue Shaoan decide.

Yue Shao'an frowned slightly, and said without squinting: "Let him come out, just say that we have something to do, and leave after a few words with him, there is no time to delay here." ”

Zhang Heng nodded and shouted to the city: "General Li, we are just passing by, and we have to go back to resume our lives, there is no time to go in for the banquet, you come out, the commander will explain a few words and leave......"

Li Ran listened to it sincerely, the news that Yue Shao'an became the emperor's teacher, he had already found out, since he was here today, it should not be just passing by, the so-called thief was weak-hearted, he originally wanted Yue Shao'an to enter the city and take the opportunity to keep him, but now Yue Shao'an does not enter the defense area, but he has no choice, he can't help but scold: "His grandmother's, Yue Shao'an wants to yin me." ”

"General, how do you decide?" Li Ran's lieutenant asked.

Li Ran's brows furrowed, his expression changed rapidly, as if he was hesitating about something, he was still not sure whether Yue Shao'an had definitely known his intentions, but Yue Shao'an should have at least noticed it, otherwise, it wouldn't be like this, he wouldn't even enter the defense area, if he went out by himself, it would definitely be more than lucky, he gritted his teeth and said, "Shoot him with a crossbow to defend the city." ”

"Yes!" The adjutant general agreed, ran to the head of the city again, and personally set up the crossbow to defend the city, "Crunch-" With the sound of pulling the bowstring, "Whoosh! A sharp arrow flew out and shot straight at Yue Shao'an's chest.

"Brother Yue, be careful-" Zhang Heng's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly blocked in front of Yue Shao'an, raised the iron long stick in his hand, and laid it across his chest.

"When ......"

A heavy voice came from Zhang Heng, and Zhang Heng was no longer able to sit still under the huge momentum, "Poof!" "Falling off the horse, a big gap was shot out of the iron long stick.

Immediately afterwards, a series of ordinary arrows from "Fluttering ......" also followed. Yue Shao'an saw that the situation was wrong, his face sank, and he hurriedly ordered: "Retreat!" ”

At the sound of an order, a sergeant had already helped Zhang Heng onto the horse, and everyone left the statue and retreated.

"Want to run?" Li Ran stood on top of the city, watched Yue Shao'an retreat with people in an orderly manner, and decisively ordered: "You can't stay here, kill Yue Shao'an, and take his head to the emperor to ask for credit." ”

The emperor in his mouth is naturally not the fifth prince who has just ascended the throne, but Zhang Xianrang, Li Ran, as Zhang Xianrang's cronies buried in the Great Song Dynasty, of course he will not let them have no results, so he will go back like this, so he wants to kill Yue Shaoan and ask for credit.

With Li Ran's words, the deputy general lit a firework and released three in a row into the air, "bang ......bang bang bang" After three sounds, the soldiers and horses who had been ambushed on Yue Shao'an's way rushed out, and another burst of arrows shot towards Yue Shao'an.

Yue Shao'an's eyebrows condensed, he never thought that Li Ran would have ambush soldiers, it seems that he still underestimated him, the reason why he only brought so many people, firstly, was to paralyze Li Ran, and secondly, because these Kaizhou soldiers were all his own cronies, and he was really reluctant to use them to fight Li Ran, Li Ran had thousands of people here, more than his own people, even if it was defeated, it would be a lose-lose result, of course this is not what Yue Shaoan wants to see.

In this way, the current situation can only escape, but the back road is blocked, but he can't escape, Yue Shaoan frowned, pointed to the dense forest with one hand and said: "Go in." ”

This was the back road he had left for the worst, but now he had to use it, and more than 200 people dodged the arrows that came from him, and beat the horses very fast. Afraid of being detected by Yue Shao'an, Li Ran ambushed infantry and archers, so in terms of mobility, he was much worse than Yue Shao'an's people, and he was soon left behind.

As soon as Yue Shao'an's men and horses entered the woods, it was as if they had disappeared, the night was thick, although there was moonlight, but the visibility in the forest was less than ten meters, so the difficulty of the pursuit was greatly increased.

Li Ran was anxious in his heart, if he let Yue Shaoan escape, I was afraid that he would not even have much hope of escaping to Bianjing, thinking of this, he jumped on horseback, ordered his subordinates to come out of the nest, and chased into the forest together.

For a while, the fire in the forest burst out, and the torches were like stars in the sky, shining brightly, and Li Ran's thousands of people rushed into the forest to besiege Yue Shao'an's cavalry.

The speed of the cavalry in the forest slowed down, but although the woods were dense at this time, they were arranged in a very orderly manner, and it was not too difficult for the cavalry to walk.

Yue Shao'an ordered his men to prepare bows and arrows, and as long as they dared to approach, they would all shoot them, although this effectively maintained the distance of pursuit, but the screams attracted more pursuers.

Seeing that there were more and more chasing soldiers, Yue Shao'an's face suddenly changed, they had been running in the direction of Hangzhou City, in this way, Li Ran was not a fool, he must have set up an ambush in front, once he fell, under the end of the attack, it would be difficult to escape.

Although, it is also possible that Li Ran has not done so thoroughly, but Yue Shaoan did not dare to take this risk, as soon as he thought of this, he observed the current situation again, the pursuers seemed to deliberately let go of the opening in the south and let them run over there, and his heart suddenly understood, cold sweat seeped out, if he found it later, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Seeing his sergeants running towards the south by inertia, Yue Shaoan hurriedly shouted: "Liu Tong, Ma Min, Zhang Heng, tell the brothers, retreat to the north." ”

"Yes!" The three of them responded at the same time, after the battle in Kaizhou, the Kaizhou army admired Yue Shao'an in their hearts, and did not have a trace of doubt about his order, and did not ask much why, so they subconsciously changed their route and went to the north.

Li Ran pursued in a rage, and found that Yue Shao'an was not fooled, and his heart was even more shocked, it seems that Yue Shao'an really has some ability, it is not easy to catch him today, he hurriedly gathered troops and chased after him with all his strength, just to bite Yue Shao'an's people tightly and not let him escape, still don't think of any means.

The leaves in the forest rattled, and the soldiers shouted, one after another, but Yue Shao'an's cavalry was silent, and compared with the two, it could be seen that the quality of the sergeants on that side was relatively high.

However, although the two hundred people on Yue Shao'an's side were much better than the soldiers in Li Ran's hands, Yue Shao'an did not have enough confidence to think that his two hundred people could kill thousands of people on the other side.

Yue Shao'an and his men fled strategically, always keeping a certain distance from the pursuers, but the woods inside became more and more difficult to walk, which made them have to slow down.

The more difficult the road was, the more unfavorable it was for the cavalry, and in comparison, Li Ran's chasing speed increased.

Finally, in a rain of arrows from the cavalry, the pursuers threw down dozens of corpses and approached. In close combat, a battle officially kicked off, but it was gratifying that Li Ran's pursuers were relatively scattered and did not rush up, and the number of people who came up was only more than 100 people.

Soon, the cavalry repelled the people who caught up, and when the follow-up pursuers did not arrive, Yue Shaoan ordered his men to disperse, slow down, and scatter the gunpowder they were carrying along the road.

Since Kaizhou and Wanyanman finished the battle, Yue Shaoan felt that gunpowder was very useful, so the Kaizhou army also carried these with him on weekdays, especially after the trip to Jinguo, even more so, today Yue Shaoan was preparing for the worst, so the amount of gunpowder was very sufficient.

After scattering along the road, seeing those pursuers pounce again, Yue Shaoan shouted: "Ignition-"

The cavalry waved the fire fold in his hand and threw it into the gunpowder behind him, "Teng! The flames flew up one person high, and the feet of the pursuers who caught up behind them turned into a sea of fire with the sound of gunpowder burning with "Zizizi ......".

The screams of "Ahh

Li Ran saw it in his eyes, and his heart ached, this fire roasted was his own soldiers.
