The soldiers under Guan Hai began to wantonly chase and kill the soldiers under Chen Ji, and the soldiers under Chen Ji were the Danyang soldiers who were one in a hundred, originally fierce and aggressive, but Chen Ji's sudden death had too much impact on them, so that they were at a loss at all, so they had to flee for their lives.

Most of the soldiers under Bo Cai's command are capable of the Yellow Turban Army, and after the Yellow Turban failed, they became bandits in the mountains and forests, and naturally they are all good at it, and the soldiers he brought from Chen Liu are all land combat masters, and the armor on his body is even lighter, how can he lose to others when he runs? Therefore, Chen Ji's soldiers were cut down to the ground one after another.

In this way, it aroused the ferocity of these Danyang soldiers, and when these soldiers saw that there was no hope of escape, they turned around and resisted.

It's a pity that the soldiers under Bocai turned around like a spinning top one by one, and the horse chopping knife in his hand was even more omnipotent in long-range attack, the long weapon was not as flexible as him, and the short weapon was not as sharp and easy as his hand, coupled with the outstanding skills of the Bocai soldiers, the snow-white sharp horse chopping knife easily cut into the body of the Danyang soldier. The Danyang soldiers were all splashed with blood on the spot and screamed to death.

There was even Guan Hai, a fierce man, who attacked fiercely, and the Danyang soldiers who were stubborn and stubborn complained about their distress and surrendered on their knees. Of course, more people fled back and went to Xiao County to report the news.

Guan Hai was too lazy to chase and kill them, after all, in Jiuli Mountain, there was Xu Ji waiting for them.

At the same time, Bocai and the others had already disembarked from the boat and led the army Shi Shiran to line up neatly by the river.

Zang Ba looked at Guan Hai, who was fighting not far away, and smiled at Bo Cai: "General Guan must be in a good mood this time, this is really a big killing!" ”

Bocai nodded, and spoke. Guan Hai had already led his subordinates and returned to the river with a lot of prisoners.

Bocai smiled at Guan Hai and said, "General Guan." Can you bump into Chen Ji? ”

Guan Hai shook the head of the person in his hand to the ground, and said in a voice like thunder: "Of course! ”

Bocai and others were overjoyed. is also full of contempt for Yuan Shu in his heart: this Chen Ji is also a member of the Seven Routes Army sent by Yuan Shu anyway. How can it be so easy for the Lord to die? It's a bit like a kid's trick like playing house. From this point of view, this Yuan Shu is simply vulnerable, Yuan Shao is already very unpresentable, but at least there is something that can be handled, and now this Yuan Highway is far inferior to his brother, so how can he play with Yanzhou Jun?

Bo Cai smiled bitterly: "I can now understand why the lord 'attaches so much importance' to Yuan Shu, it is not because Yuan Shu is very strong, but because Yuan Shu is too weak, and the lord deliberately uses the Yu Ban army in Hedong to attract Yuan Shu's attention." That's not because the lord is afraid that Yuan Shu's forces are too concentrated and we can't destroy them, but because he is afraid that we will eat Yuan Shu at once. ”

Zang Ba also smiled bitterly: "Yes, if Yuan Shu is defeated by us all at once, what will the two brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao still fight with?" ”

Bo Cai nodded and said: "Now I completely understand why the lord is so bothered, it turns out that the lord's goal is not Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao at all. ”

Except for Zang Ba, who could understand what Bo Cai meant, everyone else looked at Bo Cai inexplicably, waiting for Bo Cai's explanation.

Bo Cai said with a smile: "The battle of the lord is against the big family, and the lord deliberately connived at Yuan Shu to rob Zhen Mi from Jizhou. It is to draw out those families who are dissatisfied with my Yanzhou reform; The lord asked Zhang Yan to pretend to rebel, so that all the clans in Yanzhou who supported Yuan Shu would show their original form and consume their strength; The lord wanted to create a situation of infighting between Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao in order to completely weaken the family in Yuzhou, so that there would not be so much resistance when he took control of Yuzhou in the future. Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are just tools for the lord to exterminate the family. Otherwise, the lord wouldn't have to pretend to be missing for so long now. ”

When everyone heard this, they suddenly solved the mystery in their hearts for a long time, since the Chang'an Rebellion. Xu Ji's every move was incomprehensible to them, and they just executed it with a stomach full of questions. Only Bo Cai and Zang Ba can understand the deep meaning a little.

Now after Bo Cai said this, everyone is happy.

Guan Hai, who was on the side, couldn't help but smile: "So to speak." We have to deal with Yuan Shu a little lighter, otherwise Yuan Shu will be disabled, and he and Yuan Shao will not be able to fight. ”

Everyone laughed.

Guan Hai remembered something again at this time, and said to Bo Cai: "By the way, what to do with these captives?" ”

Guan Hai's words frightened the captives for a while, because in Yuan Shu's army, these soldiers often heard this kind of question after capturing the soldiers, and the usual answer was to kill them. Put yourself in their shoes, and of course they will be terrified.

Seeing this, Bo Cai laughed at it, and at the same time had a plan in his head, and deliberately sneered at these soldiers: "Then do you need to talk about it?" Of course, all these useless people must be killed! ”

As soon as Bo Cai's words came out, everyone was stunned, you must know that Xu Ji had already had a military order in front of him, strictly prohibiting private behavior in the army without asking his superiors, and the Yanzhou army had never had the habit of killing prisoners, so Bo Cai's statement was of course unexpected to them.

Guan Hai couldn't help it, and was about to open his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Zang Ba, who had already reacted, "Unless ......" Bo deliberately stretched his voice and said, "I can do something for Ben Shuai." ”

Bocai's words made the soldiers breathe a sigh of relief, and they looked at the Yanzhou generals who could decide their lives and deaths.

Bo Cai looked at these captives and said softly, "Which of you is willing to go and report to Chen Lan in Feng County for General Ben?" ”

Feng County, at the city wall.

Chen Lan's face sank like water, looking into the distance, not far from the river, Chen Ji's army was fighting with the Yanzhou army that had just crossed the river, because it was far away, so it was not clear to see the specific situation, but from the scene, it seemed that the two sides were on equal footing.

A general beside him said to Chen Lan: "General, should we go out of the city and attack the Yanzhou army with General Chen Ji?" ”

Chen Lan snorted coldly: "Chen Ji is so happy, he is a high-flying man, I have put up with him for a long time, I didn't expect that this time he would even dare to disobey the order of the saint, hmph, if he is defeated in the hands of the Yanzhou army this time, I see how he will explain to the saint!" ”

The generals around him nodded one after another, and Chen Lan said coldly: "Doesn't this Chen Ji know the way?" The march and battle are the most important thing to pay attention to the army and strategy, and now our army has more than 200,000 people. It has an absolute advantage in numbers, although it is not as brave as the Yanzhou army. However, the Holy Lord has already sent someone to transfer General Sun Ce here, and this son is here. What is the way of Gaoshun? Even if there is no Sun Ce, when Zhang Yan's kid recovers from his illness, he will be able to deal with Gao Shun, so the Yanzhou army has no chance of winning against our army at all, unless he robs me of grain and grass. ”

After a pause, he pointed to Chen Liu and said coldly: "The Liang Xi army of Yanzhou, which confronted General Zhang Xun on the other side of the river, is now thinking like this, and with the strength of General Zhang Xun, he still takes a defensive position, just in case, this time Chen Ji actually dares to abandon the city." Taking the initiative to attack the Yanzhou army, I really don't know the art of war, if the three counties of Xiao County, Xiang County and Xiyang that Chen Ji defended are lost. Then the Yanzhou army can drive straight in, if we cut off our army's food and grass, then how can our army settle down in Yanzhou? ”

Everyone was shocked by what Chen Lan said, and they all broke out in a cold sweat.

After a long time, a general next to him admired: "What the general said is extremely true." ”

Chen Lan glanced at the man angrily and said; "It is because Chen Ji's defense on the front line is too weak that our army will respond here, which can make Chen Ji's army attack. Retreat can be defended, it can be achieved in the better, this Chen Ji gave up his roots, but went to Peiguo and other 'land battles' to win with the Yanzhou army. Worthy of the name, the most terrible thing is that Chen Ji is stupid and unconscious, as if he is afraid that I, Chen Lan, will grab him in front of him and compete with him. I don't know that the overall victory of a war is much more important than the merits of an individual, and I expect that Chen Ji will not die well in the future. Hum! If I want to fight with him. Why bother to tell him the news that the Yanzhou army had crossed the river? ”

Everyone nodded yes.

Chen Lan was silent for a long time before sighing: "Fortunately, the predecessor of the Bocai army was the Yellow Turban Army. A group of rabble, although they are the regular troops of the Yanzhou Army, they don't have much ability, otherwise Chen Ji's army and the Yanzhou Army's river-crossing troops would not be entangled to this day. I only hope that Chen Ji can get out of the way now. ”

While he was talking, a small colonel under the city ran up to the city and panted and shouted to Chen Lan: "General, General Chen Ji sent someone to ask for help." ”

Chen Lan groaned slightly, and ordered to bring the people who asked for help up.

After a while, I saw a person dressed as a Yuan Shu soldier running up the city wall, and when he saw Chen Lan kneeling on one leg, he was about to speak, but Chen Lan stopped him and said, "You are General Chen Ji's subordinate?" ”

The soldier nodded, and Chen Lan said softly: "Then you must know the distress code that I agreed with General Chen Ji, right?" As soon as Chen Lan said this, everyone around her was slightly stunned and looked at Chen Lan.

The soldier was also stunned and said, "What code?" My general didn't say it! ”

Chen Lan's face sank and said: "You Yanzhou spy dare to come to my Feng County to cheat!" Come on, pull down and behead General Ben! ”

The soldier's whole body trembled, and he sat on the ground in fright and said: "General, I am really a soldier under General Chen Ji, not a spy of the Yanzhou Army, and my general didn't tell me any codes......"

Chen Lan waved her hand and asked her subordinates who stepped forward to pull this soldier down to retreat, and said indifferently to the soldier: "How many people are there in the Yanzhou army crossing the river?" How many men did General Chen Ji put into battle? ”

The soldier stabilized his mind and said to Chen Lan: "My general brought a total of 5,000 people to the river to block the Yanzhou army, the purpose is to give the Yanzhou army a dismount, originally wanted to leave with one blow, who knew that when we arrived at the river, the Yanzhou army crossed the river with only more than 2,000 people, and our general wanted to eliminate the Yanzhou outpost of 2,000 people, so he launched a charge, who knew that the soldiers of the Yanzhou army were extremely difficult, and they actually dragged our general to death, and they swore not to retreat, fighting until now, It turned out to be a lose-lose situation. That's why I asked the general to help, so that my general could also return to Xiao County as soon as possible. ”

When Chen Lan heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at the generals behind her: "It seems that our General Chen Ji still knows the general situation. ”

The generals laughed. Chen Lan smiled at the soldier and scolded: "Don't get up for me yet!" I just tried you. Where did the code come from? You wait for a while, and I will immediately take people out of the city to help General Chen Ji. Then he arranged manpower to guard Feng County.

The soldier buried his head in his head, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face, and it was fleeting.

Not long after, Chen Lan led 5,000 soldiers out of the north gate of Feng County and went straight to the battleground. From a distance, I saw the two sides interacting with each other, fighting fiercely, and corpses everywhere.

The soldier who came to ask for help said to Chen Lan: "General." The subordinates will report to my general first. Chen Lan nodded.

The soldier ran toward a large banner.

A general beside Chen Lan approached Chen Lan and said to Chen Lan: "General." What are we going to do? ”

Chen Lan said categorically: "Of course, it's a quick solution!" The so-called soldiers are fast, otherwise it will change later. Our task is to defend. Instead of flanking the Yanzhou army now. Now the Yanzhou army in front of us is only a small force, of course, the sooner the better! The crowd nodded.

Chen Lan waved the weapon in his hand and shouted, "Kill me!" ”

Chen Lan's army, which received the order, went to kill the Yanzhou army by the river.

Unexpectedly, just approaching the front of the two armies, the party wearing the armor of Yuan Shu's army suddenly turned over and brandished his weapon to kill Chen Lan's army.

Chen Lan was taken aback, there was no such situation.

Chen Lan's army was caught off guard, and was cut down to the ground by the people dressed as Yuan Shujun, who rushed up.

As soon as Chen Lan saw that the momentum was not good, he immediately understood that he had been tricked, although there were many things he hadn't figured out yet. I couldn't help but roar wildly: "The army retreats, and the generals will be cut off with me!" ”

Everyone made a loud promise and shook their spirits, and they were able to resist the attack of these "Yuanshu soldiers", and the Yanzhou army that was fighting with these "Yuanshu soldiers" also pounced bravely.

Chen Lan only felt that the pressure around her had increased suddenly, and she couldn't help but be surprised, she didn't expect the Yanzhou Army to be so difficult.

At the same time, only one person snorted coldly: "Your Excellency is so skilled, let me Zang Ba come to meet you for a while!" "I can't stop talking. A long knife has already fallen into the sky, snatching Chen Lan's eyes!

Chen Lan snorted coldly, and opened Zang Ba's weapon with a knife, but his arms were numb from the shock. I was amazed. I didn't expect this little-known figure in Yanzhou to be so powerful, seeing that it is difficult for him to win, where can he dare to fight? He turned and fled.

Chen Lan has a lot of prestige in the army. Chen Lan was invincible, and the generals behind him desperately resisted Zang Ba. Zang Ba's eyes flashed with anger, and he shouted in a low voice: "General Sun help me!" ”

A general came out in response. Out of nowhere, he rushed out and yelled at the enemy. When he landed, many of Chen Lan's generals fell in a pool of blood.

Chen Lan glanced at the chaotic battle situation with resentment, and could only flee to Fengxian in a hurry with his army.

The army had just passed through the area where there were "dead corpses", and the "dead corpses" on the ground suddenly jumped up one after another, brandishing a horse chopping knife in their hands to attack the lower limbs of Chen Lan's army soldiers from below.

Chen Lan's soldiers flipped on their backs and were knocked down.

Chen Lan has no psychological understanding, so she can only run for her life.

Only then did he flee to the outside of Feng County, but found that his army was rushing out from Feng County, Chen Lan stopped one person and said in shock: "What happened?" ”

The soldier said with a sad face: "General, not long after you left the city, there was a Yanzhou army to attack the city, led by the Yanzhou Guanhai, this person took the lead, only used a charge to climb up the city, killed the brothers at the head of the city, we could not stand on the ground, we were driven out of the city." ”

"Guan Hai?!" Chen Lan screamed miserably, as if a sleeping cat had been burned with its tail, and a general next to her asked, "General, who is this Guan Hai?" ”

Chen Lan's six gods were masterless: "This Guan Hai was the first siege master in the Yellow Turban Army that year, when millions of Yellow Turbans ravaged Qingzhou, there were few cities in Qingzhou that he couldn't break. I didn't expect him to be here! Damn, with this person here, who said that Bocai's Yanzhou army can only fight in the field? It seems that this wave is really powerful. ”

Chen Lan knew that it was useless to say a lot about Lu Dao, and also knew that he couldn't gain a foothold in Feng County, and he was worried about Shanyang City, which belonged to his jurisdiction, so he said to the generals around him: "The Yanzhou army is from Peiguo, although Feng County has been attacked, but Shanyang should still be under our control, we are now bypassing the northern foot of Jiuli Mountain and withdrawing to Shanyang County." ”

A general next to him asked, "But General Chen Ji ......?"

"Shut up!" Chen Lan's forehead jumped violently: "If it weren't for that idiot, how could we have fallen for the trick so easily?" The Yanzhou army is so brave, can he still survive? ”

The man was scolded so hard that he had to keep his mouth shut.

Chen Lan slightly reorganized his troops and horses, and then led the remnants of more than 4,000 people and horses to flee to the northern foot of Jiuli Mountain. Guan Hai, who saw Chen Lan's action at the head of the city, did not go out of the city to pursue, but was busy stabilizing Feng County.

Chen Lan had just passed through a dense forest, and a vote of people and horses came out to block Chen Lan's way.

"Chen Lan, you better get off the horse and surrender!" The first majestic general said proudly to Chen Lan.

Chen Lan struggled to stabilize her position and shouted to the big man, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm Bocai." Dahan said indifferently.

This bland sentence startled Chen Lan's army into a panic.

Chen Lan looked at the other party's soldiers and horses, gritted her teeth and said, "Is that soldier who came to my Feng County for help someone to pretend to be?" The soldier was in danger. ”

Bo Cai said indifferently: "That soldier is indeed Chen Ji's subordinate, he is not in danger......

A man next to Bocai took over and said with a smile: "Are you very smart? Hum! Now the weakest point of Yuan Shujun is the line of Xiao County, Xiang County, and Xiyang, Chen Ji should not go out of the city to fight our army at all, so how can there be a code word to rescue? Brother Bocai already knew that you would have such a move, and of course he would explain it to the soldier. ”

Chen Lan hated it in her heart, and before Wu Dun could finish speaking, she led her troops to rush towards the Bocai army.

Bocai let Chen Lan go, and only intercepted Chen Lan's soldiers, of course, he was collecting and surrendering prisoners.

Seeing this, Chen Lan's eyes were red, and she wanted to find Bocai desperately, but she was stabbed in the thigh by Yin Li, who was beside Bocai, with a spear, and under the pain, she yelled and fled.

Bocai stopped Wu Dun and the two who were about to pursue, and said indifferently: "Since he took this road as I expected, he said that he wanted to go back to Shanyang." Then let General Gao clean him up! ”

The two nodded.

Bocai smiled, "Our credit is big enough. The following depends on how the lord performs in the Jiuli Mountain! (To be continued......)
