Chapter 240: Chaos

Half an hour after Shadow joins Team Storm, a team of four appears around the campfire, angrily accusing Shadow of treachery.

The Storm Squad went to war directly, beating this crippled team to the point of crying dad and mother, so that they understood that there was no shadow of "betrayal", they were just a bunch of trophies of the Storm Squad.

In the days since the team was expelled, no more teams of Trialists attempted to attack the Storm Squad, and it is unclear if word came out of the teams that had been mutilated or if the Trialists had lost their patience.

At this time, the location of the Storm Squad is the Wild Land of Nanzhong, which is equivalent to the Storm Squad circling the Chengdu Plain. From Nanzhong to the east, over the high mountains, is the south of Jingzhou. The Wuling Lingling controlled by Liu Bei is also a place where barbarians haunt, except for a few county seats, it is sparsely populated and cannot be ordered.

The Storm Squad went all the way to the east, not in a hurry, and slowly traveled through the mountains and rivers.

At this time, the main battlefield in Jingzhou was also lively. Due to the failure of the trialists to hunt down a few successful alliances to kill famous generals, a considerable number of trialists could only return to Jingzhou, hoping to seek opportunities in the chaotic battle. It turned out that they really found an opportunity. Zhuge Liang, who is wise and similar to a demon, used a trick to lure out Yu Ban of Jiangling City, and successfully ambushed a wave in the suburban valley, Yu Ban was defeated and retreated, and was chased and killed by Wei Yan for more than ten miles, and was finally besieged in a small village. However, some trialists passed the news to Cao Cao in advance through cheating-like means, and Cao Cao sent Xu Huang to the rescue, and as a result, Wei Yan was surrounded. At the same time, Lu Chang was sent to cut off the rescue road of the Shu army, making Wei Yan a lone army. Zhuge Liang had to send Zhang Fei to attack LΓΌ Chang, and at the same time sent messengers to ask Eastern Wu to send troops to contain it. Eastern Wu sent the general Xu Sheng to attack Dangyang, and at the same time sent Lu Xun from Jiangxia to lead the army to Xiangyang, forcing Cao Cao to divide his troops to rescue.

When the army was mobilized, the trialists naturally became restless, and a large number of trialists flocked to various battlefields, either to provoke battles, hunt the heads of captains, or to plot and calculate, looking for opportunities to snipe famous generals.

Subsequently, the most chaotic period of the entire Jingzhou melee began. First, Yu Ban's defensive formation was destroyed by the trialists, and Wei Yan broke through the village and captured Yu Ban. Immediately after that, dozens of trialists burst in and killed Yu Ban, who had lost his combat effectiveness, under Wei Yan's nose. Xu Huang then attacked, and Wei Yan had to use his large army to defend against Xu Huang's attack, leaving more than a dozen corpses behind after a scuffle. At the same time, the heavy rain near Dangyang caused Xu Sheng's army to be swept away by floods, and a group of trialists went down the river on a life raft and killed Xu Sheng on the water. On the other side, LΓΌ Chang fought fiercely with Zhang Fei, but was bombed by the zha yao planted by the trialists, and his morale was shaken, and he was defeated by Zhang Fei and killed on the spot. Zhang Fei was anxious to rescue Wei Yan and led the army to leave, and the troops cleaning the battlefield were attacked by the trialists, cutting off a large number of heads, and Lu Chang's head was also cut off as trophies.

Cao Cao lost the generals in a row, and he was so angry that he had a headache attack, and he couldn't afford to be ill, so he had to order Sima Yi to temporarily assist in military affairs. Sima Yi proposed to retreat as a strategy, took the initiative to withdraw the troops, made Jiangling an isolated city, and lured the Sun-Liu coalition army to attack desperately, but secretly passed Cao Cao's order, asking Xiahou Shang Guo Huai of Yongzhou and Zhang Liao Zangba of Huainan to send troops respectively to attack Sun Liu's rear.

Jingzhou has long become a big quagmire, trapping the main forces of the three overlords into it, such as Zhuge Liang, Lu Meng, Sima Yi have all realized that this is what the group of thieves who are in trouble in the world want to see, and in the long run, these guys with unbelievable abilities will inevitably continue to eat away at the tripartite army. But the importance of Nanjun is so high that no one wants to give it up. Sima Yi's move at this time became an opportunity, as the strongest of the three parties, Cao Wei is undoubtedly the only force that can support multi-front operations, once the rear is threatened, it will inevitably focus on itself.

This is a later story, at this time, the Sun-Liu coalition army, which had not yet received the news, took advantage of the shrinkage of Cao Wei's army to capture the land north of Jiangling, surrounded Jiangling, and began to attack the city with all its might.

Just in order to defend the Cao Wei army in the north, the Sun-Liu coalition army had to send generals to divide the troops to defend it, which gave the trialists another chance, and the Shu Han general Huang Zhong led the army as soon as he arrived at the destination, and was caught off guard by more than 100 trialists with modern weapons, and then the Cao Wei army that did not know where it came from rushed into the battlefield and completely defeated Huang Zhong's department. The trialists cooperated with Cao Wei's army to besiege Huang Zhong, and a generation of veterans finally died in a different place.

This battle completely changed the behavior of the trialists, and since Sima Yi took the lead in breaking the taboo and cooperating with the trialists, the Sun-Liu coalition began to follow Sima Yi's example and recruit the trialists to join the battle.

The trialists cooperated with the army and took what they needed, which put great pressure on Cao Ren in Jiangling, but fortunately, Sima Yi had already warned Cao Ren that Cao Ren had already prepared and would never risk his life with the generals under his command. Without the famous general Huo, there are few trialists who are willing to fight hard, just to harvest the captain's head, and the number of defenders is sufficient, so Gangneung can still hold on.

Luo Han learned about the battle situation in Wuling County, and also discovered the change in the local attitude towards trialists, and even directly posted a recruitment notice on the city gate, offering a bounty and listing conditions. However, Luo Han is not interested at all, without him, there are too many competitors, and there is no benefit to be distributed, only the team with poor strength will choose to rely on the army. Moreover, Luo Han read a message from the change in the attitude of the three princes - the trial ground is about to open the next stage.

The Trialist is entering the battlefield in the bright light, which means that the melee in Jingzhou is coming to an end, and the remaining Trialists are about to start fighting each other in order to get the head of the captain or the head of a famous general.

Luo Han returned to the temporary camp in the mountains, told his teammates about the matter, explained a few words, and walked slowly towards Gangneung after resting for the night.

In order to attack Jiangling, the Sun-Liu coalition army had no intention of fighting northward, but Sima Yi seized the opportunity and cooperated with the trialists to kill the Eastern Wu generals Zhu Huan, Pan Zhang, and Liu Bei's generals Chen Zhi and Feng Xi, who were stationed in the north of Jiangling, directly weakening the talent reserves of Sun and Liu.

In half a month, the news of Hanzhong and Huainan arrived, Zhuge Liang and LΓΌ Meng were reluctant to retreat, and after the two sides discussed, they quietly withdrew at night. The next day, Cao Renjun saw the army retreating, relaxed his vigilance, but unexpectedly a day later, there was a hole in the city, LΓΌ Meng's army killed, forcibly took Jiangling, Manzhong died in the chaos, Cao Ren was not allowed to retreat to the north, was intercepted and killed by Zhang Fei in the middle of the way, Cao Ren Pang De died in the chaos.

At this point, the battle of Jingzhou arranged by the trial ground came to an end. Cao Cao lost Yu Ban, Man Chong, Cao Ren, and Pang De on the frontal battlefield, and Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, and Xiahoudun in the rear, and finally only preserved Xiangyang. Shu Han lost Huang Zhong and Chen to Feng Xi, who didn't know if he was a famous general, Zhao Yun and Liu Chan died in the rear, but they still lost the northern part of Nanjun, leaving only half of Nanjun and Wuling and Lingling in the south of the Yangtze River, Sun Quan obviously would not be willing to give up the hard-won Jiangling, but it was not good to turn his face and attack the southern part of Nanjun for a while, but it became a barrier to help Liu Bei defend the north. The Eastern Wu side lost Gan Ning, Zhu Huan and Pan Zhang, and occupied the back of Nanjun, which was considered to cut off the possibility of Cao Cao going downstream, but because the alliance could not seize the two counties of Nanfang and Jiangnan, Jiangling became a chicken rib, and it was a pity to abandon it without taste, but it was a winner, and the loss was much smaller than the other two parties.

After the Battle of Jingzhou ended, all parties also withdrew their armies one after another, and such a big dispute would not be opened again in the short term, and the value of the trialists would be gone. Some of the trialists who saw the opportunity early quietly left the army. The remaining Trialists, who still dreamed of inciting the army to continue the war, were overwhelmed and surrounded by the army almost at the same time, except for a few who escaped, most of whom died in the chaos, and their watches were collected and sent to the cities of the sovereigns. After that, the tripartite army once again purged the trialists, hunting and killing them everywhere.

On the mountain road west of Yong'an, an army of about 1,000 men marched slowly, escorted by an iron box containing watches taken from the dead trialists. Zhuge Liang had already seen the miraculous performance of the trialist with the help of the watch, and he had also seen the trialist's ability to talk to distant companions through the watch, but he could not use the watch, so he ordered someone to collect these things and send them back to Chengdu to study them slowly.

Escorting this batch of watches is the most elite unit of Shu Han - Bai Yu elite soldiers, the original commander Chen Zhi was killed because he was sent out to defend against Cao's army, and now the temporary commander of this army is Guan Ping, the son of Guan Yu, in order to prevent being robbed by the risky trialists, and also sent Zhang Bao Guan Xing to Guan Ping as a deputy. With these three men who pressed the door tiger in folklore, and cooperated with this elite army, they were easily attacked several times along the way, but they increased the amount of escorts.

Guan Ping Daguan Xing Zhang Bao is a few years old, and he has been commanding the army with Guan Yu for a long time, and he is calm, unlike two teenagers who are giggling all the way. Seeing that the party had come to a valley with high mountains on both sides, he immediately ordered the whole army to be on guard and act carefully.

Guan Xing said disapprerovingly: "Big brother, these little mao zei have come to kill as many as they want, why are they so nervous?" ”

Guan Ping said in a deep voice: "Anguo, before leaving, Lord Zhuge must tell you that thieves are scheming, so you must be careful." You are conceited and brave, have you ever been compared to the two generals of Zhao's uncle Huang Zhong? ”

Guan Xing defended: "Old General Huang died in the chaos, Uncle Zhao Yun was lured into a desperate situation, and besides, we have white soldiers, why are we afraid of a group of rabble?" ”

Guan Ping said: "Although the elite soldiers of Bai Yu are brave, Cao Cao's tiger and leopard riders are also the elite of the world, and Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen's brothers have not been killed?" Lord Zhuge has a saying, thieves are good and bad, those thieves who fight with us are mostly rabble, it is true, those thieves who killed the Cao family brothers, killed Zhao Yun's uncle, and killed Xiahou Ganning can not be compared. ”

Guan Xing lowered his head and said a little unconvinced: "Got it, big brother." ”

After speaking, he squeezed his eyebrows with Zhang Bao again.

Guan Ping shook his head and drove his mount deeper into the valley on his own.

Suddenly, the valley fogged up. Originally, it was normal for the valley to be foggy in late autumn, but it was noon, and it was a bit strange to see this situation all of a sudden.

Guan Ping immediately ordered the whole army to guard the iron box and move slowly. The fog in the valley became thicker and thicker, the visibility quickly decreased to two meters, and the temperature around it quickly dropped to a few degrees, coupled with the rich water vapor, which made the white soldiers feel cold.

Suddenly, there was a loud metal crash in the thick fog, and someone shouted, "Not good! Something was snatched away! ”

Guan Ping was shocked, hurriedly jumped off the war horse, galloped to the side of the escort carriage, and sure enough, he saw that the carriage was empty, and the rope used to fix the iron box was cut and fell on the board.

"What's going on?" Guan Ping was greatly annoyed, although it was a valley path, Guan Ping also arranged for dozens of people to surround the carriage, how could someone pass through this layer of human wall silently and take away the iron box?

A white soldier next to the carriage said: "General, there is a black thing falling from the sky, sucking the box on it and pulling it away. ”

Guan Ping didn't know what was going on at all, only understood one thing, the box was pulled up. Immediately ordered: "The thief must be on the mountain, chase me!" ”

At the moment, he took the lead and climbed up along the rock wall, and Zhang Bao Guanxing, who came over, also climbed along the rock wall. The other white soldiers looked left and right, but they could only say that they could not do anything. They can climb up, but when they do, the daylilies are cold.

Guan Ping and the three of them relied on their skills to climb to the side of the valley in a relatively short time, but where could they still find the shadow of the iron box? Even if there are a few lines of undisguised footprints left at the scene, it seems to mock the incompetence of the trio.

Luo Han didn't care what kind of punishment Guan Ping and the three of them would receive, now he was sharing his watch with Wuji in the deep mountains and old forests. This batch of watches includes dozens of trialists who were besieged and killed after the Battle of Jingzhou, trialists who were exterminated for a period of time, and a group of trialists who were escorted to deliver food on the way, with a total of ninety yuan. The two men divided it evenly, forty-five each, and then began to look at the loot in place.

First of all, the head of the captain, in order to recruit the trialists, Zhuge Liang gave them the heads of the enemy generals who died on the battlefield, and he won a lot in the battle of intercepting Cao Ren in the later period, and these trialists who fought with the army together contributed more than thirty heads, plus what Luo Han and others had obtained before, it had reached the number. The only regret is that no skull was found.

But soon, Wuji smiled cheaply: "Xiao Han, it seems that you don't have a famous general's head, right?" Come, call a few brothers, and I'll sell them to you at a discount, brother. ”

Wuji took out a round thing from the watch, and Luo Han looked at it, isn't this Cao Ren? squeezed out a smiling face at the moment: "Brother Wuji, make a price." ”

Wuji smiled: "Come, first massage my brother's shoulders, and count these things, my neck is weird and tired." ”

Luo Han kept a smile, shot a wind blade to cut off a strand of Wuji's hair, and said, "Brother Wuji, don't go too far, I don't have to ask for this thing, it's really not good, I can still rob someone else." ”

Wuji pursed his lips, threw Cao Ren's head to Luo Han and said, "You look at it yourself." "Baidu: The Final Trial of Death: Jiezhong Literature" The latest chapter is free to read for the first time.
