Chapter Seventy-Two: Chaos

At this moment, because of Lü Meng's serious illness and fear that the army would be disturbed before learning that Lü Meng was critically ill, it was because Lü Meng's subordinates in Shonan City did not know Lü Meng's illness, and the direct result of this was that there were 6,000 elite soldiers in Shonan City at this moment, but there was no one to lead it.

And Pan Zhang, Zhu Ran, Jiang Qin, Song Qian and other major generals of the Jiangdong Army, because they want to compete for the command of the military before Lu Xun came, are all in Xiangnan City, coincidentally, Pan Zhang's more than 5,000 people, Huang Gai's more than 4,000 people are responsible for the arch guard of Xiangnan City, Huang Gai can only command his 4,000 men and horses to fight with Wang Ping's more than 10,000 elites, but he can't carry it.

Pan Zhang's men and horses were in chaos because they had no main general, and there was a camp roar at the beginning. The soldiers were scattered.

Zhu Ran, Jiang Qin, and Song Qian's men and horses are all in Shuizhai, and at this moment there are only Ling Tong's generals in Shuizhai, and he is too young to be able to command the various ministries at all, and he is forcibly contained in Shuizhai by Wang He, Wang Ming, Guan Xing, and Zhao Tong's people, and cannot move.

The Jiangdong soldiers got the news at the same time, that is, their governor Lu Meng had died. The sergeants, who were eager to ask their own generals for confirmation, were shocked to find that most of the generals were not in the camp.

As soon as the Jiangdong soldiers were attacked, nearly 20,000 horses near the left side of Xiangnan City collapsed immediately, and only 4,000 men and horses of the Huanggai Division were still resisting.

And the Jiangdong Army's Shuizhai men and horses were only resisted by the five thousand men and horses led by Ling Commander, but they did not dare to attack rashly. You can only nest in the water village and shoot arrows to fight back.

At this moment, the Jiangdong Military Water Village is on fire, and countless boats are in the sea of fire, reflecting the Lianshui River like day.

As soon as Huo Yi's men and horses entered the West Gate, the generals who were still in the courtyard of the Governor Lu Meng immediately panicked.

"Pan Wenqi! In the past, I didn't say anything about your connivance with the sergeants to loot and even store supplies privately, but now the battle of Jingnan, which is related to the great cause of the lord, is all because of your selfishness, which has caused our army to fall into such a crisis, and I will meet the lord face to face. I must tell my lord, you rammer! Zhu Ran was originally a good-tempered person, and he was very gentle on weekdays, but now the situation is in chaos, but he can't care about his face anymore, so he scolds him.

"General Zhu, now it's not a question of who is right and who is wrong, if you listen to the chaos outside, I'm afraid that the Huo family's army has already hit the city. Let's not talk about it, quickly go back to the headquarters and mobilize subordinates. Let's fight again! It was Song Qian who spoke.

"Yes! Our army has been defeated so far. We are all guilty, how can we blame one person! This is not the time to pursue the blame, General Zhu, and quickly return to the base camp, waiting for all the troops to gather, thinking that Huo Shaoxian will not dare to confront our army head-on! Han Dang said loudly.

Jiang Qin was quick to speak: "If you are hesitating. The defeat of our army is certain, and it will be difficult to recover! General Pan, your subordinates are near the left side of Shonan City, you immediately go and mobilize the military horses! I am here to lead the governor and protect the governor. Get out of the city quickly, if the situation worsens. It's a lack of skills! ”

At this moment, I heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the house, but all the generals went out of the courtyard together. Each of them went to the east gate or the south gate.

Huo Yi didn't think that the entry was so smooth, along the way, except for the west gate, he encountered extremely strong resistance, and rushed along the way, the Jiangdong army seemed to have no one to command, and the largest resistance did not exceed 100 people, Huo Yi took the opportunity to let the armies set fire in the city.

Wang Chong followed Huo Yi all the way to kill, the Jiangdong army in the city was also rushed, Wang Chong's horse team was extremely fast, and under Huo Yi's general order, Wang Chong led more than 1,000 cavalry soldiers straight to the county government of Xiangnan City.

However, it was said that the generals of the Jiangdong Army had just left the county government from the back door, and this Jiang Qin was leading two hundred governors and guards, escorting Lu Meng to the frame, and was about to go out, when a loud sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded outside the door.

A guard hurriedly walked from the front door to the frame: "General, hurry up and go through the back door!" The Jingnan army broke through the west gate, and the forward horse team had already arrived at the county yazuo! ”

Jiang Qin was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered the tooth general of the Governor's army to lead more than 100 people to resist the enemy from the front door, and he himself led a team of less than 100 people, guarding the frame, and left through the side door.

Wang Chong had just arrived in front of the Yamen of Xiangnan County, but he was not afraid that a team of elite armor soldiers rushed out of the front door and drew their swords against each other.

Wang Chong said coldly: "Cut them all for me!" The sixth and seventh tuns went to outflank the side door! Don't let one go! ”

"Whoa!" Immediately, he went to lead the army again.

While consolidating the battlefield at the West Gate, Huo Yi asked Ye Zhi to send a letter to Guan Xing and Zhao Tong to send a letter to Guan Xing and Zhao Tong, ordering the two to divide half of their troops and attack the south gate of Xiangnan City, and then ordered Wang Ping and Huo Liang to end the battle as soon as possible and block the two northeast gates of Xiangnan City.

Huo Yi understands very well that the battle situation is so smooth, and the Jiangdong Army rarely resists, only one message is displayed, that is, the main generals of the Jiangdong Army are in Xiangnan City, if these generals are served in one pot, I am afraid that Sun Quan will not dare to look west to Jingzhou in his life, right?

As the saying goes, "a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find", when Sun Quan has no generals available, can you still dare to send troops to Jingnan?

The more Huo Yi thought about it, the more excited he became, and he kept urging his subordinates to move forward.

Wang Chong's men and horses quickly slaughtered these Jiangdong soldiers and rushed into the county office, only to find that this place had already been hollowed out. After torturing some of the soldiers, the information obtained was that these generals were all in the government office and may have just been withdrawn.

Wang Chong only knew at this moment what Huo Yi meant by letting himself lead the cavalry first, you must know that these generals are the root of the Jiangdong Army, and if they are captured as one, they will inevitably have to work a lot less.

After searching the entire government office and not finding a single one, Wang Chong immediately led the cavalry to follow the side gate of the government office and pursued all the way, in order to capture these generals alive.

However, it was said that the generals of the Jiangdong Army went out of the government office, and saw that there were fires everywhere in the west of the city, and the Jiangdong soldiers and soldiers were scattered everywhere, and rumors spread everywhere, all of which were about the news of the death of the governor of the capital. The generals were shocked, it turned out that the army's heart was already in turmoil, and their hearts were even more anxious, and the war horses under their crotches were also urging rapidly, and they each went to their respective military camps.

However, it was said that Pan Zhang led his deputy general Ma Zhong all the way out of the south gate and arrived at his own military camp, but he was shocked to find that except for the dozens of personal guards led by his side, he no longer had a single soldier.

Pan Zhang's thoughts were discouraged, if it was said that the reason why he was able to compete with Zhu Ran for the command of the army at this time was to rely on the elite Yuzhang soldiers under his command. These subordinates are all the strength they accumulated when they were the captains of Wu Meng. Now that the soldiers under his command are scattered, in Jiangdong, a place that relies on his own tribes to speak, it is equivalent to losing the possibility of further progress.

"General, General Huang's office seems to be still resisting, why don't I wait to go to General Huang's place?" Ma Zhong suggested.

Pan Zhang's defeated eyes looked at the east of the city, and at this moment, the sound of killing was also shocking, as if countless Jingnan troops were besieging Huang Gai. Pan Zhang nodded helplessly, and led a group of guards to gallop to the east of the city.

Zhu Ran, Han Dang, Song Qian and others also went out of the south gate and went straight to the water village set up by the Jiangdong Army on the north bank of Lianshui.

"General! Look! A Zhu Ran guard who walked in front of him found that after turning the dense forest in the south of the city, the water village by the river was a blazing fire reflecting the sky, shining like a glow.

But this beautiful scene did not please everyone present, which meant that they no longer had the last chance to do so.

Zhu Ran seemed to be unwilling, and said coldly: "Speed up, maybe some of the subordinates are still holding on, waiting for me to return." ”

No one around responded, but with Zhu Ran's military horse moving forward, in fact, everyone knew very well that it was difficult to organize effective resistance when they were fiercely attacked by the enemy army and there was no main general.

Thinking of this, everyone was shocked, the generals on the south bank, the young man who had not yet reached the crown was so bold that he took the lead in launching a surprise attack. Could it be that he already knew that our army was defenseless? Or is there Jingnan's meticulous work in our army? If not, then this son's sense of smell for fighters is too terrifying.

Thinking of the previous battles with this son, every time a general fell or was captured, it already made the Jiangdong people have a shadow on this young man, even more terrifying than the shadow given to the Jiangdong people by Zhang Liao in the north, after all, this son is just a young man who has not yet reached the crown.

"General, it seems that there is a Jingnan army approaching ahead!" At the forefront, a personal guard in charge of detecting the enemy reported back.

Zhu Ran looked at the elite of nearly three hundred people behind the four generals, and said coldly: "How many people?" ”

The pro-guard said: "I haven't counted it in detail, it's too close, but I took a cursory look, when there are more than a thousand people, this is just a striker, I don't know if there is a follow-up." The enemy is only two or three miles away from me, general, do you avoid it? ”

Zhu Ran rubbed his head painfully, at this moment, he was extremely self-blaming, if he didn't have to compete with that Pan Wenqi for a high and low, it was unlikely that he would have ended up like this.

Zhu Ran waved his hand and said coldly: "Everyone, the enemy army is strong, let's stay away!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all avoided the depths of the dense forest.

In a short time, a large number of men and horses hurried past the people.

Everyone took a breath of cold air, but fortunately avoided it, if their heads were hot and they were fighting, it was estimated that there would be no bones left to be eaten.

Zhu Ran saw that it was a young general at the head, and the "creak" sound in his hand.

"Huo Yi?" Han Danghu looked at the young general and said in a cold voice.

"It doesn't look like it, there are rumors that Huo Yi is a red robe and soap armor, and he is also a gun, but this young general is holding a long knife. It is said that Guan Yu's second son Guan Xing is also under Huo Yi, and I think most of them are this son! Song Qian calmly analyzed on the side.
