Seeing this, everyone in the tent was happy, including Guan He.

Guan He said while helping Lin Haotian to serve tea: "I thought that adults would not be used to drinking this kind of coarse tea. ”

Lin Haotian smiled lightly, changed his words, and said: "Next, our army is going to attack Shangwan and Guan He, I hope you can show more in this battle." ”

Guan He handed the full tea bowl to Lin Haotian, and said, "My lord, please rest assured, my subordinates will definitely go all out." ”

Lin Haotian said leisurely: "In our army, there has never been a commander who can command more than 3,000 subordinates. If you can make a meritorious contribution in the first battle of Shangwan, I can justifiably promote you to the commander of the corps, and you don't want to disappoint me!"

These words lifted the spirits of everyone present, and they all showed joy. They are not only Guan He's subordinates, but also brothers who have followed Guan He for many years, Guan He can be the commander of the corps, and their status can be improved accordingly.

People were surprised and delighted, and turned their heads to look at Guan He.

Guan He was also very surprised in his heart, he was just a reckless soldier, and he didn't expect Lin Haotian to attach so much importance to him. He was stunned for a moment, then arched his hand, bowed, and said loudly, "My subordinates will never let my lord down." ”

"This is very good! With your strength, as long as you take time, your future achievements will be far above the corps commander!" Lin Haotian put down the empty bowl, stood up, and said to everyone: "You all rest early, and our army will continue to rush tomorrow." ”

Seeing that Lin Haotian was leaving, everyone got up one after another, bowed their hands and said, "Congratulations to my lord!"

Seeing Lin Haotian leave, everyone gathered around Guan He, and said in a gossipy manner: "Brother Guan, it seems that we have taken refuge in the Jin Army, General Lin values Brother Guan very much!"

"yes, not only in person. And mention Brother Guan!"

Guan He laughed while listening, and said proudly disapprovingly: "If I go to the battlefield, I can take the head of the enemy general among the ten thousand troops, and it is natural for General Lin to value me, but then again, the Jin army is indeed stronger than the Red army." General Lin is also much more shrewd than Shi Huai's stupid material! Brothers, rest assured, our status in the Jin Army will only get higher and higher, and in the future, no one will dare to bully us again!"

Everyone grinned when they heard this.

Shangwan, the capital of Anqiu County.

Shangwan is a large city with a history of hundreds of years, but because of the economic backwardness of Anqiu County and the relationship between it and its non-strategic location, Shangwan appears dilapidated, and many parts of the city wall have been golden. It fell into disrepair for a long time, and it was only by using wooden stakes as a support that it was stabilized and not collapsed. As for the moat outside the city, it was even more pitiful, the river had long since dried up, and only a chasm around the city remained, which could not serve to repel the enemy at all.

Shang Wan's city defense can only be described as unbearable, and the defenders in the city are only twenty or thirty thousand people. Attacking such a city is not difficult for the Jin army.

After Lin Haotian commanded the army after arriving in Shangwan. There was only a short pause, and then he ordered the whole army to attack Shang Wan.

The first to fight was Guan He, who had just surrendered to the Jin army.

Guan He rode a high-headed horse, holding a nine-turn soul breaking knife, wandering back and forth outside Shang Wan's northern city, while shouting loudly: "Gao Guan." Don't be a turtle with a shrunken head, go out of the city and die!"

Seeing Guan He fighting the enemy in front of the two armies, Chu Lianyu turned his head and asked Lin Haotian: "My lord, do you really want to send Guan He to take the lead? He has just returned to our army, I am afraid that his heart is different!"

Lin Haotian nodded. said: "The battle of Shangwan is just a good way to verify whether he is sincere in joining our army!" He has already said that he should mention Guan He, and how he will behave depends on himself.

Seeing that Lin Haotian was full of confidence, Chu Lianyu knew that he had done it in his heart, so he didn't say anything more.

Others may not know Guan He, but Gao Guan, the head of Anqiu County, knows him very well.

As the largest bandit in Anqiu County, the Tianhe Army has long become a thorn in Gao Guan's eyes and a thorn in the flesh, and he has also sent troops to encircle and suppress it several times, but the results are all defeated, especially the time when he personally commanded the troops, even he himself almost died under Guan He's knife.

Now seeing Guan He coming with the Jin army and helping the Jin army take the lead, Gao Guan, who was standing at the head of the city, felt a chill in his heart, and knew that Guan He must have taken refuge in the Jin army, and this battle may be even more fierce and unlucky.

Gao Guan took two steps forward, held the arrow stack in his hand, and shouted loudly outside the city: "Guan He, although you were born in the grass, but after all, you are a red man, and now you are turning the spearhead and helping the Jin people to kill the red people, do you still know the word shame? What you have done will make the ancestors and ancestors under the Nine Springs shameful!"

"Shut up!" Guan He was furious, raised his sword and pointed at the high crown on the city, and shouted: "The red people deceive me, insult me, and can't tolerate me, but General Lin has the grace of not killing me and the grace of knowing me, what's wrong with me being loyal to General Lin? Not to mention that General Lin came to crusade against Er and other ministers this time, you and others will be abused, sooner or later it will be a dead end, and the wise obediently open the city gate, disarm and surrender, if not, hehe, don't blame me for being ruthless under Guan He's knife, and kill all you and other traitors!"

"The thief is hateful, obsessed, since you are willing to be a lackey of the Jin Kingdom, then you can use whatever you have the ability!" Gao Guan slapped down the arrow stack, took two steps back, and no longer paid attention to Guan He.

Shang Wan didn't have any intention of going out of the city to face the battle, and put on a posture of defending the city, and Lin Haotian no longer delayed time, giving orders left and right, beating drums to attack the city.

With Lin Haotian's order, the drums of the Jin army camp rang out, the roar was deafening, and all the soldiers moved forward together.

"Kim, Kim, Kim—"

In the process of advancing the Jin army camp, the soldiers shouted loudly while striking the shield with their weapons, and the soldiers of each formation and each corps were almost in the same pace, and every step forward, there was a loud noise like thunder, and even a mile away could clearly feel the tremor of the ground.

Soon, the Jin army advanced to Shang Wan's range, and before the Red Army could release its arrows, the Jin army's arrow array had already been launched first.

With the continuous shouts of the corps commander and the commander of the thousand soldiers, the Jin army camp sounded a banging bowstring flicking, and then, tens of thousands of arrows flew up from the head of the Jin army camp and fell towards Shang Wan like a dark cloud.

"Crackle-"

The walls of Shang Wan were like hailstones, and the crunching sound continued, and the screams of the scholars who were shot by stray arrows rang out. In the blink of an eye, Shang Wan's northern city wall was covered by dense black arrow feathers.

This was only the beginning of the Jin army's attack, followed by the attack of the stone thrower and the city-breaking crossbow, the falling rocks and crossbow arrows continuously hit Shang Wan's city defenses, and each impact made Shang Wan's city walls shake.

Under such a fierce attack by the Jin army, Shang Wan's defenders didn't even want to find a foothold on the city, let alone fight back. The local army, which had never experienced a large-scale war, had not yet made direct contact with the Jin army, and was completely defeated by the fierce attack of the Jin army, and the morale was completely lost, and a large number of soldiers screamed and wailed and fled to the city wall, shrunk under the wall, holding their weapons and trembling.

With an elite central army of 80,000 or 90,000 men on one side and a local army of 20,000 or 30,000 men on the other, the gap in strength between the two sides was so large that it could no longer be made up by Shang Wan's poor city defense, and it can be said that the battle turned into a one-sided situation from the beginning.

Guan He had already been ordered by Lin Haotian and was eager to make meritorious contributions, but now seeing that the Jin army was in full swing and Shang Wan's local army was not vulnerable at all, he was more confident, urging the horse to rush forward, and rushed directly to Shang Wan City in one breath. Seeing that the Jin army behind him had not yet followed, he turned around and shouted urgently: "Rush the car! Quickly push the rush car up and open the city gate for me."

There was no need to shout at Guan He, the Jin soldiers who pushed the rushing car all used their strength to eat milk, and they pushed the rushing car to the city gate with a burst of shouts.

At this time, in order to prevent accidental injury, the Jin army's stone throwers and city-breaking crossbows have stopped, and the Shang Wan defenders finally took advantage of this gap to finally gain a foothold in the city, but at this time, looking outside the city, the Jin army was overwhelming, and the people had already come to the city.

"Boom!"

When the Jin army's chariots began to ram the city gates and walls, the defenders who had returned to the city came to their senses, and the people twisted their bows and arrows, jumped on the arrow stacks, and leaned down to release arrows under the city. But their arrows had not yet been shot, but the arrows under the city had already been shot up.

Dozens of Red soldiers who jumped on the arrow stacks bore the brunt of the attack, and were shot by the Jin army's arrow array, but in an instant, dozens of people turned into black hedgehogs, covered with arrow feathers, and their bodies were either hung on the arrow stacks or planted on the city wall.

Shang Wan's city defense was not strong, and it could not withstand the heavy impact of the rushing car, under the continuous impact, the city gate was the first to be knocked open, and Guan He, who had been waiting impatiently, rushed into it first, and at the same time, a miserable scream came from the city gate hole.

Guan He's strength is infinite, and he has a superb martial arts cultivation, and on the battlefield, there are indeed 10,000 invincible braveries. In the face of the dense and oppressive defenders, he forced himself into the city from the hole in the city gate, and everywhere he passed, the blood flowed like a river, and the corpses were densely covered.

These ordinary Red soldiers were not his target, he was looking for the head of the county. Entering the city, he continuously released his martial arts skills to kill the surrounding Red Army, and then saw a Red Army soldier sitting on the ground with his legs limp not far away, he urged the horse to rush over, grabbed the soldier's shoulder blade, lifted it up, and asked sharply: "Where is Gao Guan?"

The soldier rolled his eyes in fright, almost fainted on the spot, and stammered, "Commander...... The head of the county ...... Ran into the city......"

As soon as he finished speaking, Guan He waved his arm and smashed the soldier directly into the city wall. There was a crisp sound in the ear chakra, and there were many large puddles of blood on the city wall.

Guan He had already planned that if he wanted to make a meritorious service, he would have to make the first meritorious service, and there was no greater merit than killing or capturing the enemy commander alive.

Knowing that Gao Guan ran into the city, Guan He slapped his horse and chased after him. At the same time, a large number of Jin troops also poured into the city, and those bandits who followed Guan He to join the Jin army rushed to catch up with him, asking nonsense: "Brother Guan, where are we going now?"

Guan He looked back at everyone, waved his knife and said, "Brothers, go with me to capture Gao Guan alive!"

"Yes! Capture Gao Guan alive!" everyone agreed. (To be continued......)
