Jiaohe City.

The moon was blocked by dark clouds, and only a faint layer of moonlight could be emitted. Such a night is the right time for the night attack of the army.

As soon as the time came, General Ji Fan had already put on heavy armor, gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses and moved to the city gate, making a picture that he would attack out of the city at any time.

At this moment, Ji Fan was a little distracted, he didn't know if the Ji Yong he sent had already contacted the vanguard army of the Celestial Empire, if he couldn't see General Lu Bu and everything couldn't come according to what he said, then the burden of enduring humiliation in the Cheshi Country over the years would probably come to naught.

Seriously speaking, Ji Fan was able to stay in Cheshi Country because he did have his own clear task, that is, he was ready to overthrow this regime at any time. All because his grandfather was a Han Chinese, and even his great-grandfather was a general of the Han Dynasty, and he was the last ruler of the Han Dynasty to be in charge of the Western Regions.

It can be said that the Ji family also had a glorious time, but with the gradual weakening and incompetence of the Han family, the Western Regions Protectorate began to exist in name only, and the great-ancestor died in the mansion under the coercion of some small countries in the Western Regions, and more than 40 members of the Ji family died together, and the only one who did not die that day was only the grandfather who was out of the house, which survived and left a trace of incense for the Ji family.

And from that time on, the Ji family has shouldered the heavy responsibility of his wife, just like Ji Fan, from the time he was sensible after he was born, he knew that he was born to avenge his great-grandfather.

Unlike his grandfather and father, although Ji Fan learned martial arts since he was a child, he joined the army in Cheshi Country after he became an adult, and gradually accumulated certain military merits through his own performance, and finally became a general with outstanding military achievements.

Although he has fame, Ji Fan never dares to forget his mission, he has always longed for the day to restore the reputation of the Ji family and avenge his blood hatred. Finally, not long ago, the arrival of the Great Prince of the Celestial Empire and the Dragoon Legion gave him a glimmer of hope.

It's just that Ji Fan, who is accustomed to forbearance, did not show any uncomfortable actions, on the contrary, he also looked indignant, and said more than once that the arrival of the Celestial Empire army was not to sanction the Dawan Kingdom at all, but to find the trouble of all the Western Regions countries.

The reason why Ji Fan did this was to let Che Shiguo send troops to deal with the army of the Celestial Empire, because only in this way could the First Emperor of the Celestial Empire be provoked. In other words, he was not optimistic about Zhang Tian and Ma Chao's dragoon army at all.

Ji Fan, who was born in the Western Regions since he was a child, knows very well that on the surface, the strength of each of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions is not very strong, but once these forces are gathered together, it will be a very strong force for a while, even if he has heard a lot of legends about the power of the Celestial Empire, but he still thinks that if he wants to repeat the glory of the Western Regions Protectorate, unless the Celestial Empire raises a large army to enter, it is impossible to do it.

Facts also proved that Zhang Tian and Ma Chao did not destroy the Dawan Kingdom, on the contrary, they were also encircled. But even so, Ji Fan is still dreaming of the day when his ideals will be realized.

The long-awaited wait finally came to fruition, and as soon as he heard that the First Emperor of the Celestial Empire had personally gone out on an expedition and brought an army of one and a half million, he knew that his dream for many years was likely to come true, and all he needed to do was to cooperate with the other party as much as he could.

Under such a situation, he proposed again and again to go out of the city and steal the camp, to put it bluntly, he was working hard to create opportunities for the Celestial Empire to enter Jiaohe City. However, General Saisi was indeed very cautious, and even blocked his request to go to war several times. Fortunately, in the end, after he conceded the military power of 50,000 soldiers, he still got the desired result.

In this way, in the name of sending troops to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, Ji Fan sent his cousin Ji Yong and asked him to contact General Lu Bu to meet with each other.

The person was sent out, and he was also ready to fight against the water, but before he saw the army of the Celestial Empire, Ji Fan was still bottomless, at this moment he was looking forward to the arrival of the attack, and he was thinking about whether he could give his cousin more time to do things.

Under such a somewhat contradictory psychology, the time for stealing the camp also came as scheduled, and when he saw that General Saixi had already arrived at the head of the city of Jiaohe, Ji Fan knew that it was time for him to send troops.

"The officers and men of the whole army obeyed the order, according to the previous plan, and went out of the city in turn, not to be chaotic, and those who disturbed the military shape were killed." Ji Fan's voice also came out loudly, and then the gate of Jiaohe South City opened from the inside, and countless soldiers wearing yellow armor lined up to go outside the city.

There are 100,000 troops, even if you want to go out of the city to fight, it will take at least half an hour just for this process, which is still prepared.

Ji Fan really knew in his heart that this half an hour was the moment to decide the victory.

Everyone began to go out of the city one by one, and in the darkness of the night, they saw countless black shadows crowding, and then they went out of the city. Although there are a large number of people, fortunately, there have been arrangements for a long time, and it does not seem to be so chaotic.

General Saisi, who was on the city tower, first watched the army go out of the city intently, and after seeing that those sergeants were really in order, he was also a lot more relieved. In his opinion, this initiative is beneficial and harmless for himself.

For example, if the camp is successful, as a supporter of this matter, he must have made a great contribution to adding his kinship with the King of Cheshi. On the contrary, if the stealing camp fails, then all the sins will fall on Ji Fan's head, and it will not have much impact on him.

Even if it is in his favor, why would he disapprove of it? On the contrary, he really wanted to take a serious look at what kind of effect Ji Fan's actions would receive this time.

"It's not good, the army of the Celestial Empire is coming!" Just when General Saisi was still thinking that with this military exploit, he could still get some benefits from King Lipi, suddenly, a somewhat panicked shout came from the sentry above the city gate.

"What? The army of the Celestial Empire has appeared? As soon as he heard this voice, Saixi was naturally panicked, he thought about all kinds of situations, but he just didn't think that before the plan was implemented, he would encounter the affairs of the Celestial Empire army.

Thinking that once the Celestial Empire army attacked the city at this time, wouldn't the wide open south gate be equivalent to giving the other party the best opportunity, he shouted in a panic: "Quick, close the city gate, quickly!" ”

What Saixi thought was just to close the city gate and not give the Celestial Empire army a chance to enter the city, but he really didn't expect that at this moment, General Ji Fan's army was still walking out from the city gate, how could he close the city gate at this moment.

The sentries on the tower had already seen the Celestial Empire army approaching with torches in the distance, and it seemed that it would not take long to come under the city gate, and at this moment, the city gate of Jiaohe had not yet had the slightest intention of closing.

Sai Xi on the city tower first panicked and shouted for a while, but after seeing that the city gate had not been closed, he remembered something, and couldn't help but shout to the bottom of the city tower: "Didn't you hear my order?" Close the gates, and kill anyone who dares to stop them from closing! ”

To say, Saixi is not wrong to give such an order at this time, although this move will sacrifice some people, but it can indeed ensure the safety of the city. It's just that Ji Fan, who has long had a different heart, has been waiting for this decision for a long time.

Although Ji Fan is bent on returning to the Han Dynasty, he is only limited to himself, and he can affect some people around him, but he really has no right to decide on the 100,000 army under his command. If you want to take them to build a car with the country, it is difficult to operate.

Therefore, what Ji Fan needs is an opportunity, and now this opportunity has come. After hearing that Sai Xi gave the order to kill Wu Wu in order to close the city gate, Ji Fan, who was originally in the rear of the army and had not yet left the city, began to agitate the army and said: "Brothers, General Sai Xi didn't treat our brothers as human beings, and actually killed our soldiers. And if you can kill someone today, you may kill us tomorrow, so promise or not? ”

Needless to say, when life is threatened, it is a person who will resist with all his might, half of the army that has not yet left the city, that is, the army of 50,000 car divisions, of course they will not agree, they also hate this military order issued by General Saixi, in their opinion, the army out of the city has retreated to the city with all its might, why is the other party still not satisfied?

Of course, this speed of retreat is naturally too slow, if it weren't for this, General Saixi wouldn't have done this, but these, under Ji Fan's intentional guidance, no one would consider it.

Ji Fan seized this opportunity and issued an order to keep the city gate and lead the army back to the city.

Ji Fan is very smart, he didn't order his subordinates to attack Saixi, that's because once he did this, it was no different from rebellion, whether such an order could be carried out, he also had no bottom in his heart, but just giving an order to defend the city was another matter, this is a normal move, even if it doesn't work out, others can't find anything to blame for such a thing.

Ji Fan ordered the troops in the city to guard the city gates, resisting Saisi's order to close the city gates. For a while, the originally chaotic city gate seemed to be more chaotic.

Once this kind of chaos begins to appear, it cannot be suppressed for a while, and even though Saisi has sent a large number of troops because of this, it is still impossible to solve the problem in a short time. And through this time, the vanguard legion of the Celestial Empire has been getting closer and closer to the city gate.

"Put down the explosives and blow up a few more gaps." General Lu Bu, who wore a three-pronged purple and gold crown, a Xichuan red cotton robe on his body, a beast-faced head-swallowing chain armor, a delicate lion belt around his waist, and a red rabbit horse, saw that his vanguard army had come to Jiaohe City, so he issued a new military order.
