The grassland after dusk looks treacherous and cold, and at night, on the top of the mountains and forests in the distance, from time to time there is the terrible scream of the night owl and the sound of the wolf pack, which makes people feel cold and frightened.

However, Ge Xiang and the others, who have been recruiting troops in this area for a long time, have long been familiar with this, and there are more than 1,000 soldiers who launched a night attack this time, even if it is a wolf pack and other fierce beasts, they dare not approach, so they have no fear and go all the way towards Yuehua Village.

Since Ge Xiang returned from the General's Mansion, he has been planning a way to deal with Zhao Fan, and for them, the matter of conscription is an important factor related to Li Dui's success or failure this time, so they naturally will not take it lightly.

Because he knew that Zhao Fan and the others had only recruited more than 1,000 people now, Ge Xiang launched a night attack this time, and did not bring out all the soldiers of the second division of the left army, but only brought three brigades and 1,500 soldiers.

What's more, their garrison also needs to be guarded by soldiers.

"Master Shuai, after Baishui, there is Yuehua Village not far ahead." In the team, a soldier with a narrow scar on his face came to Ge Xiang and reported.

Although the soldiers of the Second Division of their left army, although they were usually arrogant and domineering, at the critical moment of this night attack, they also obeyed the orders quite a bit, and marched all the way, and the ranks were also neat, and they did not make any sound.

As the commander of the division, Ge Xiang has a very high prestige in the second division, and this scar soldier doesn't seem to be a good stubble, but in front of Ge Xiang, he is unusually respectful.

Hearing this, Ge Xiao nodded, he looked up into the distance, and saw that about a mile away, a rushing stream of water, across the south of Yuehua Village, sparkling, the crescent moon reflected in the water, a hazy halo.

Ge Xiang was not a scholar and had no intention of observing such beauty, he just stared closely at the outline of a village in the northeast of Baishui. He had already found out the news that Zhao Fan and the others lived in Yuehua Village, and in the past few days, they had been constantly recruiting soldiers, obviously meaning something.

Thinking of what Wei Biao said, only if Lord Xiangguo's plan succeeds, then the post of general will be vacant, he is excited in his heart, he is a person with strong power, and constantly climbing up is what he has pursued all his life.

"Okay, Yuehua Village is in front, order the team to slow down, and keep a quiet voice, so that Zhao Fan and them can't find that if tonight's operation is successful, the general will definitely be rewarded."

Ge Xiao clenched his fists, although he was excited at the moment, he did not forget that he was the commander of the second division, so no matter what happened, he had to be calm, and immediately according to the ecstasy in Nai's heart, he commanded in a deep voice.

The moon bends like a hook in the night sky, Ge Xiang and the others, just like this, slowly approaching Yuehua Village, it is nearly three watches at this moment, whether it is residents or soldiers in the village, they have all fallen asleep, except for some patrolling soldiers who are observing the movements nearby, there is no one else.

The white swaying blade reflected Sen Leng's killing intent in the moonlight, and at this time, Ge Xiang and the others had already crossed the white water and came to a bush dozens of feet away from Yuehua Village to hide themselves.

Ge Xiang looks rough and tall, and looks like a straightforward man, but his eyes are a little small, and when they are closed, there is a faint trace of cruel light, which destroys his image.

At this moment, he was staring closely at the rows of soldiers at the entrance of the village, about a few dozen soldiers, patrolling the vicinity, he remained motionless, patiently waiting for the best time to launch a surprise attack.

In the past few days, he has already found out where Zhao Fan lives in Yuehua Village, which is a simple and quiet courtyard, Ge Xiang has no intention of sticking with the soldiers of the Sixth Division of the Right Army, he only needs to lead the troops to get rid of Zhao Fan, and the task will be completed.

His eyesight is much sharper than ordinary people, although it is so far away, but Ge Xiao still clearly sees the small courtyard where Zhao Fan lives, it is dark at the moment, and it is obvious that the former has fallen asleep.

Ge Xiang's 1,500 soldiers were slowly distributed around Yuehua Village, faintly surrounding Yuehua Village, they were confident that they had hundreds more people than Zhao Fan and others, and in the case of launching a night attack, it would be easy to get rid of Zhao Fan.

The closer he got to Yuehua Village, Ge Xiang's mood became more and more nervous, although he didn't look down on Zhao Fan, after all, Zhao Fan was just a nineteen-year-old boy, although he had been promoted to the rank of commander, but he just thought that it was just the former's luck.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village only about ten zhang, Ge Xiang and others could faintly hear the "Zheng Zheng" sound made by the armor leaves on the armor of the soldiers of the right army when they walked.

"Are you ready?" Ge Xiao let out a long breath, he looked at the three brigade commanders beside him, and his voice was inaudible.

These three brigade commanders are all cronies who have followed Ge Xiang for a long time, and they don't need to listen to the voice at all, from the change in the shape of the former's mouth, they can already know what Ge Xiang said again, and they immediately nodded.

"Kill!"

I only heard a rapid bang sound in the bushes, and the arrows were like flying locusts, shooting from the soldiers patrolling the entrance of the village from the surrounding areas of Yuehua Village, and under the cover of bows and arrows, a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp weapons suddenly rushed out.

In today's situation, they don't have to hide their identities at all, this is the instruction of Li Dui and Wei Biao, with them, these soldiers don't have to worry about violating the law at all.

At this moment, in an elegant courtyard, Zhao Fan suddenly woke up from the collapse, in his sleep, he just seemed to hear a shout of killing, immediately just thought for half a second, and immediately got up from stepping on it, his clothes were too late to wear, he lifted his spear, and rushed out of the small courtyard.

"Master Shuai, that Ge Xiang is here with people to attack us."

Zhao Fan had just stepped out of the courtyard gate, and suddenly met Xu Ying, who was holding a double halberd, and was coming on, the former was originally leading people to patrol at the gate of the village. Hearing the shouting of killing, and also seeing Ge Xiang, he suddenly had a bad feeling, and immediately didn't have time to think too much, he was worried about Zhao Fan's safety, and after killing a few people, he rushed here.

Zhao Fan's face became extremely ugly, he was busy recruiting soldiers in the past few days, and Ge Xiao didn't bother him again, he almost forgot about this person, but he didn't expect the former to be planning how to deal with himself, and immediately he hurriedly asked: "How many people are they coming?" ”

Xu Ying thought for a moment and said, "There are about more than a thousand people. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Fan's heart was also a little more settled, thinking that Ge Xiang thought that he only had more than a thousand conscripted soldiers, so he didn't take it to heart, and immediately said quickly: "You go and inform Gongsun Long, Xu Jia and Wang Zhi, and tell them to gather all the soldiers immediately and wait for me on that hillside." ”

Zhao Fan can be sure in his heart that the purpose of Ge Xiang and the others is to be alone, because they only brought more than 1,000 people, and if they want to annihilate themselves and more than 1,000 subordinates, these lives alone are not enough, at least they must bring all 2,500 people in the first division.

As for the hillside that Zhao Fan was referring to, it was located in the south of Yuehua Village, where it was a low hill, overgrown with weeds and dense shrubs, Zhao Fan wanted to lead Ge Xiang and the others there, of course, because there were many people in Yuehua Village, in order to avoid harming innocents, and another point was that he first wanted to encircle and annihilate Ge Xiang and the others.

That's right, it is to encircle and annihilate the more than 1,000 soldiers of Ge Xiang.

If it was before yesterday, Zhao Fan would not dare to think like this, but today is different, Wang Zhi, Lin Hu and others brought more than a thousand soldiers from Yunzhong City over, in this way, their total strength is more than 2,000 people, and the number of people sent by Ge Xiang is only more than 1,000 people.

With twice as many troops as the enemy, Zhao Fan was still confident that he would defeat the enemy.

At this time, the shouting of killing was getting closer and closer, and the few patrolling people at the gate of the village had been killed by Ge Xiang, as Zhao Fan expected, after they killed the patrolling soldiers, they didn't stay much, and killed directly to the small courtyard where they were.

At this time, Xu Ying had already understood what Zhao Fan meant, he knew the urgency of the matter, so he immediately didn't care about saying too much, and hurriedly walked towards several other courtyards nearby.

In fact, there is no need for Xu Ying to inform you, there is such a big movement here, not to mention ordinary residents, Gongsun Long, Xu Jia and other strategists and generals whose facial senses are better than ordinary people, have already heard the rumors, and after receiving the notice that Xu Ying brought Zhao Fan, they also hurriedly gathered all the soldiers in Yuehua Village and headed towards the southern hillside.

"Ge Xiang, your courage is really not ordinary, you led the troops to assassinate the generals in the army, which has constituted a capital crime." At the gate of the small courtyard where Zhao Fan lived, the former did not leave, but stared coldly at Ge Xiang and the others who had already arrived here.

Ge Xiang and their speed was extremely fast, not long after Xu Ying left, they came here, in order to delay time and fight for Gongsun Long and the others for opportunities, Zhao Fan did not leave, but looked cold.

Seeing the target appear, Ge Xiao's heart finally let go, he didn't think too much about it at all, the target was in front of him, as long as Zhao Fan was killed, and the dragons were leaderless, then the plan would be considered a success, so he didn't think about why there was not a soldier of the right army around here.

Zhao Fan sneered, holding a spear in his hand, and his tall figure did not look a trace of fear and nervousness.

Ge Xiao stared at Zhao Fan like a dead man, under the siege of so many soldiers, he was not worried about what tricks Zhao Fan could play, and immediately looked hideous, and said, "Capital crime? ”

"Haha, I am on the orders of General Wei, with Li Xiangguo and General Wei here, who dares to sentence me to death, do you think that Zhao is now the king of Zhao?" Ge Xiang felt as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and the expression on his face was very exaggerated.

After seeing Zhao Fan, Ge Xiang's vigilance disappeared a lot, and now, he just wanted to tease this person who had swept his face at the beginning, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart, so he was not in a hurry immediately.

Zhao Fan naturally knew what Ge Xiang meant, and immediately the killing intent in his heart was even worse, the former should be like this, it would be better for him, Zhao Fan swore in his heart, wait for a while to lead Ge Xiang and the others into the hillside, and after catching him, he must be killed with a knife.

The dark eyes swept over the soldiers behind Ge Xiang, Zhao Fan's eyes couldn't help flashing slightly, Ge Xiang is a division commander, with a division of teams, if he is killed, and his six divisions are controlled, then not only will their own strength increase greatly, but Li will also weaken a lot of strength against them.

After all, there are only five divisions in the First Army, and now Li Dui controls the Left Army and the Central Army, a total of ten divisions, even if one of their divisions is removed, it will have a great impact.

"What do you mean by that? How is Handan doing now? What does Li Dui want to do? Zhao Fan suddenly heard the disdain in Ge Xiang's words, and immediately felt a tightening in his heart, he is a commander, how dare he say this about King Huiwen, is it ......

King Huiwen is his royal brother, Zhao Fan doesn't want anything to happen to him, and it is natural for him to be nervous.

Feeling the tension in Zhao Fan's heart, Ge Xiang's heart felt even more pleasure, and immediately said: "You don't know yet, a few days ago, Li Xiangguo has carried out a great blood purge of Zhao Guo's court, and most of the ministers who support King Zhao have been replaced by our people, although Li Xiangguo has not done anything to King Zhao yet, but it is not far away." ”

Ming people don't say dark words, and Zhao Fan already knows these things, so Ge Xiang also opened the skylight to say bright words, he looks extremely arrogant at the moment, since he supported Li Dui, he didn't think about other ways, and immediately said it to death, making it clear that he was a grasshopper on a rope with Li Dui, so he was also extremely disrespectful to King Zhao.

Zhao Fan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, Li Dui hadn't made a move against King Huiwen yet, but looking at his recent big moves, he thought that the day was getting faster and faster.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fan's face looked more and more cold, he suddenly smiled, looked at Ge Xiang, the corners of his mouth rose, and there was a slight disdain. He was standing in front of the gate of the small courtyard at the moment, behind him was the gate of the courtyard, and in the other three directions, there were all soldiers of Ge Xiang, and he had been surrounded.

Looking at the open fire holding staff in front of him, Zhao Fan did not have any fear, Ge Xiang looked at all this in his eyes, and there was also a touch of bad in his heart, and immediately stopped making any delays, and shouted: "Okay, I actually made you a ghost, then you should die now and arrest him!" ”

The last sentence he said to the soldiers around him, and immediately these soldiers also shouted their promises and rushed over.

Zhao Fan didn't talk nonsense, and after throwing a provocative look at Ge Xiang, he turned around in vain and kicked the courtyard door behind him open, and before those soldiers pounced, he turned around and sank into the courtyard.

Seeing this, Ge Xiang also sneered, he didn't believe that Zhao Fan could run away, so he immediately waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him also poured into the courtyard like wolves. It was pitch black inside, and only a faint moonlight shone on a figure, and he ran out over the wall.

"Chase!"

Seeing that Zhao Fan had run away, Ge Xiang was also so angry that he yelled, grabbed his weapon first, and chased him out in the direction where Zhao Fan ran.

Hearing this, those soldiers also hurriedly followed, Zhao Fan ran to the direction, it was the low hill in the south, his skills were extremely vigorous, and he ran out of Yuehua Village after a while, although the village was overgrown with bushes and the road was rugged, but Zhao Fan was originally from Orion, this kind of terrain did not cause the slightest obstacle to him, it was like walking on the ground.

Ge Xiang obviously didn't expect Zhao Fan's skills to be so good, and immediately his face became more and more gloomy, and he couldn't help but secretly scold himself for underestimating him.

However, he didn't worry about Zhao Fan running away, after all, there were so many people on his side, and after the hill in front of him, there was an endless grassland, that kind of terrain, at a glance, Zhao Fan had no place to hide at all.

However, he didn't expect that Zhao Fan didn't want to run at all, he just wanted to lead him into the ambush place of Gongsun Long and others.

At this moment, it was late at night, and the cold wind was blowing violently from the northwest, and the cold wind blew on Zhao Fan's face like a knife, but he didn't realize it at all, just ran forward.

Getting closer and closer to the hillside, Zhao Fan could even faintly see the faint cold light from the weapons held by those soldiers of the right army hidden in the bushes, and he was overjoyed at the moment, it seemed that Gongsun Long and the others were ready.

When Zhao Fan crossed the hillside not long after, Ge Xiang led the soldiers of the left army to catch up, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground suddenly came, hearing this sound, Zhao Fan no longer ran for his life, but turned around in vain.

I saw soldiers fall from their horses one by one, and the reason why they fell to the ground was that Gongsun Long and others had set up a stumbling rope here.

Falling to the ground and muffled grunts rang out in a row.

Zhao Fan laughed and shouted, "Ge Xiang, you have been tricked!" Shoot the arrows! ”

I saw the fires in the bushes on both sides of the hillside, and hundreds of rockets shot into the air, throwing far away in the direction of the sides and the mouth of the gorge, leaving only the upper wind.

For a moment, the flames were scattered, and the dry mountain forest quickly caught fire, and the wind spread from both sides in the direction of the gorge, and all the enemies who came in the dark were caught in the flames. It turned out that Gongsun Long and others had already ordered people to smear lamp oil on the trees first, and the fire was about to break out.

Thick smoke rose up, and most of them were sent in the direction of the canyon, and only a few drifted in the direction of Zhao Fan and others.

Everyone hurriedly fetched the wet cloth that had been prepared, covered their faces, and covered their mouths and noses.

The screams and exclamations kept ringing, Ge Xiang and the others were at a loss, how could they have imagined that someone had been ambushed here early and had already attacked them.

Ge Xiang's face had become extremely ugly, he didn't expect that on this hillside, Zhao Fan's ambush was hidden, could it be that Zhao Fan had already expected that he would come to attack Yuehua Village? Thinking of this, Ge Xiao didn't care about saying much, turned the horse's head, and ran in the direction of Yuehua Village.

Ge Xiao guessed wrong, all of this was a temporary method of controlling the enemy that Zhao Fan, Gongsun Long and others thought of, at this moment, the more than 1,000 soldiers of the left army, in addition to being swallowed up by the sea of fire, there were also a small number of them, all of them fled around like headless flies.

Ge Xiang didn't expect that Zhao Fan would have more than 1,000 soldiers out of thin air, they were naturally not opponents, and they were all captured by the soldiers of the right army.

"Xu Ying Xu Xiong, leave hundreds of people to guard these captured soldiers of the Left Army, and the others will catch Ge Xiang with me and take their nest outside Handan City at will." Zhao Fan turned over and snatched a horse and chased in the direction of Ge Xiang's escape.

This is a good opportunity, Zhao Fan naturally will not let it go, and since the war with Li Dui is imminent, he will naturally not let go of the strength of this division, and immediately, he led Xu Ying and Xu Xiong, as well as more than a thousand soldiers, to chase after him. (To be continued.) )
