Guan Yu withdrew his troops, leaving only a mess in Yuan Jun's camp. Thinking of Guan Yu's stunning sword, Gao Lan still had some lingering fear in his heart. He didn't come back to his senses until the camp was almost cleaned up.
"Brother, Liu Zhang's army will not attack the camp again today!" After tidying up the messy camp and arranging the soldiers properly, Gao Ping and Gao Huai came to Gao Lan together, with several lines on their faces.
The stains made him look very embarrassed.
"Probably not!" Gao Lan sighed and said, "It's better to attack the camp without preparedness. Guan Yu suffered such a big loss, and he will definitely not come back again! Everyone is tired, let the brothers go down
Rest!”
"Yes!" Gao Ping and Gao Huai were also very tired. They arranged their troops and went down to rest.
The night was so quiet. In the camp, apart from the corpses of wounded soldiers, there were only campfires burning wood, making a crackling sound. Gao Lan stood in the camp, watching the bright moon disappear and the stars disappearing, and couldn't help but
He sighed. Returning to the tent, he wanted to think about it for a while to see if he had made any mistakes. Unfortunately, his body was too tired and couldn't support it anymore, so he fell asleep!
In the haze, Gao Lan suddenly felt a burst of heat, and heard bursts of noise in his ears. He sat up suddenly and shouted: "Someone is coming! What's going on?"
"Report to General!" A junior high school student rushed into the tent and shouted loudly: "Liu Zhang's troops are attacking the camp again!"
"What? Come again?" Gao Lan picked up his spear and walked out of the tent. He saw a general in the camp, holding a big knife, slashing and killing Yuan's soldiers everywhere.
"The general's name is here, Gao Lan is here!" The situation was critical and Gao Lan could not retreat. He mounted his horse and charged towards the general.
"Gao Lan? The one I'm looking for is you!" The sword-wielding general turned around and charged towards Gao Lan. A tent was set on fire, and the fire shone on the sword-wielding general's face. Gao Lan was shocked.
"Huang Zhong!" Back then at Xiyuan and Hulao Pass, Huang Zhong's fierceness made Gao Lan tremble.
"Exactly!" Huang Zhong shouted: "Gao Lan, accept your fate!"
"Withdraw..." Gao Lan knew that he was no match for Huang Zhong, and was afraid that Guan Yu was secretly serving him. In order to preserve his strength, he had no choice but to order a retreat. Being scolded by Yuan Shao when he returned was better than being wiped out.
Sergeant Yuan's soldiers were originally just eating food and serving as soldiers. Gao Lan had already run away. How could we expect those soldiers to resist? As soon as they retreated, Sergeant Yuan's soldiers immediately began to rout. The soldiers fleeing in all directions blocked Huang Zhong's footsteps and gave Gao Lan a chance to escape.
opportunity.
"Alas! Those who surrender will not be killed!" Looking at Gao Lan's retreating back, Huang Zhong sighed and ordered the enemy troops to be captured. Without the command of the general, almost all of Yuan's soldiers put down their weapons and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.
The battle ended and the sky began to light up. The morning sun dispelled the haze of the night and slowly climbed up into the clouds. The Yuan Army's stronghold was full of squatting soldiers, survivors of the massacre and corpses.
Some of the corpses were entangled together, and the bonfire nearby ignited the clothes on their bodies, burning the skin and flesh to pieces; some were holding spears tightly, and their two dull eyes were still wide open; the severed arm holding the knife,
Corpses with half their heads missing can be seen everywhere.
The tents and fences were burned to ashes, and plumes of green smoke were still rising. Huang Zhong's soldiers did not cheer for joy. The waiting in the middle of the night, the fighting and the disappearing lives made their expressions become a little numb.
"General, the prisoners and seizures have been counted, and you can return to the camp!" Following the report from the small school, Huang Zhong immediately ordered the class to return to the camp. Naturally, someone was responsible for burying those corpses.
Guan Yu, Gan Ning, and Huang Zhong fought outside all night, and Zhou Yu didn't sleep all night in Yangyi. Although Zhou Yu was very confident in his strategy, what he planned was determined by man, and God would do it. If any accident happened, he would be very worried.
Passive. After all, this is the first time he has stood alone. Of course, this first time refers to Zhou Yu's first time under Liu Zhang.
Gan Ning and Guan Yu are back! Looking at the two people who were unharmed, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief. The most dangerous part of the night attack was the first and second times. By the third time, it was almost dawn. At that time,
People who have been tense all night are the easiest to relax. Before dawn, everyone knows that it is coming, but they may not be able to survive that darkness!
"I've met Zhou's military advisor!" Gan Ning and Guan Yu stepped forward to salute. Gan Ning's salute was from the bottom of his heart, but Guan Yu's was because of Liu Zhang's order.
"Thank you for your hard work, two generals!" Although I don't understand why Gan Ning and Guan Yu came back together, that's not the point. The point is that they came back unscathed.
The three of them waited at the city gate for almost an hour. Huang Zhong's army slowly arrived. The army held a large number of prisoners and supplies, which made Zhou Yu very happy. This battle not only gave Zhou Yu a majestic appearance, but also established Zhou Yu's prestige.
More importantly, Xu Shu was not allowed to take the lead. After tapping the battle results again, Zhou Yu sent the battle report to Jinyang, while celebrating the victory with Huang Zhong and the others, and rewarded the three armies. The whole Yangyi was full of joy.
Thirty miles outside Jinyang City is Yuan Shao's camp.
"What a waste! What a waste!" As soon as Qu Yang's battle report came in, Yuan Shao was furious. The stalemate lasted for several months with no progress. Finally, a war broke out, and he came back defeated. Yuan Shao slapped the table, not knowing.
Who are you scolding?
"Qi..." As soon as a junior high school student walked into the big tent, he was frightened by the ferocious look on Yuan Shao's face. He opened his mouth, but did not dare to continue.
"Huh?" Yuan Shao suppressed his temper and asked, "What's the matter?"
"General Gao Lan is asking for an audience outside the camp!" the colonel replied bravely.
"General Gao's envoy?" Yuan Shao thought that the principal saw him angry and was afraid that he had said the wrong thing, so he said casually: "Pass it in!"
"My lord, I am not the envoy of General Gao!" The colonel swallowed and said, "It is General Gao Lan!"
"What?" Yuan Shao frowned and said, "Isn't Gao Lan in Yangyi? Why is he back? Let him in!"
"Yes!" Yuan Shao was angry, and the junior high school did not dare to say anything. If Yuan Shao was offended, he would be beaten severely, or his life would be ruined. Yuan Shao never regarded his soldiers as human beings, even if he was a civil servant under his command, if he disobeyed
His intention is to either hit or scold him, let alone a pawn?
"My Lord, I am incompetent, please punish me!" As soon as Gao Lan entered the tent, he cried and knelt on the ground, kowtowing vigorously.
"What's going on?" Seeing that Gao Lan's clothes and armor were disheveled and covered in blood, he knew that he was defeated. Yuan Shao gritted his teeth in hatred, but he could not get angry, so as not to chill the hearts of all the soldiers.
"Your Majesty..." Gao Lan told Yuan Shao what happened to him in detail. Yuan Shao felt relieved when he heard that Liu Zhang used Gan Ning, Guan Yu and Huang Zhong to attack Gao Lan's camp one after another. In Yuan Shao's view,
With this lineup, let alone Gao Lan, even if he went there in person, he would still be defeated but not victorious.
"Forget it!" After listening to Gao Lan's narration, most of the anger in Yuan Shao's heart disappeared, and he said coldly: "Next time I lose, I will kill you without mercy! Get down and bandage me, rest up, and prepare to go into battle with me!"
"Lord, our army is newly defeated, how can we resume the war?" Under normal circumstances, after a defeat, one needs to boost morale before going out to fight again. But Yuan Shao seemed to want to go out to fight immediately, and Han Meng was a little puzzled.
"New defeat? That was the defeat of Gao Lan and Jiang Yiqu, but I was not defeated!" Yuan Shao snorted coldly: "Now is a rare opportunity. If Jinyang is captured, the defeat of Gao Lan and Jiang Yiqu will be valuable!"
Han Meng asked: "May I ask my lord, what does it mean that an opportunity is rare?"
"Stupid? Didn't you read the battle report?" Yuan Shao sneered: "Liu Zhang divided his troops to attack Quyang and Yangyi. Now in Jinyang City there are only Liu Zhang's troops and the Tiger Guards under Zhao Yun. Can Zhao Yun stop Yan Liang and Wen Chou?
?Even if you can block it, you and Gao Lan are just living for nothing?"
"Your lord is wise!" Han Meng leaned down and bowed down, but no one saw a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
"Stop flattering!" Yuan Shao said with a smile: "Now that you know it, why don't you hurry up and rectify your troops and prepare for the expedition?"
"Yes!" Han Meng handed over his hand and left, notifying Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others.
In Jinyang City, Zhou Yu's information also arrived.
"Okay!" Unlike Yuan Shao, Liu Zhang received good news.
"Lord, you gave all your troops to Xu Shu and Zhou Yu. Now that Jinyang's defense is weak, you might as well recruit some of your troops back!" Looking at the battle report in his hand, Jia Xu's face was full of worry, for fear that Yuan Shao would come to attack the city.
"Wen He! What are you worried about?" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Jinyang City is tall and thick. Even Luoyang City twenty years ago is slightly inferior. If Yuan Shao attacks the city without ten times the strength, how can he do it?
Can we conquer it? Keep your heart in your stomach! Even if Yuan Shao comes, there is nothing he can do to stop me!"
"My lord, please don't be careless!" Jia Xu said anxiously: "Yuan Shao has Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other generals under his command, as well as Han Meng and other generals, but our army only has two generals, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei..."
"Wen He!" Liu Zhang said in a deep voice: "Zhao Lei is also a general of our army, and I, Liu Jiyu, am not a weak leader. Maybe I can't defeat Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but if Gao Lan or Han Meng dare to come, my big gun will also be defeated."
Not vegetarian!”
"This..." Liu Zhang hasn't been in battle for so long that Jia Xu has forgotten that his martial arts are also extraordinary. At the very least, Zhang Xiu, known as the spear king of the North, can only draw with Liu Zhang! Thinking of this, Jia Xu feels relieved
.
"Boom, boom..." A huge war drum sounded, and Liu Zhang and Jia Xu, who were sitting in the Bingzhou Governor's Mansion, heard it.
"Report!" A junior high school officer quickly rushed into the governor's office and shouted: "Your Majesty, Yuan Shao is attacking the city!"
"Say Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao is here!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Send the order to the generals and watch the battle at the top of the city! Wen He, you are responsible for arranging military supplies and handling emergencies. If there is an emergency, you can issue orders directly without me!"
"Yes! I understand!" Jia Xu bowed and retreated. Liu Zhang, wearing armor and holding a gun, strode out of the Governor's Mansion and headed towards the city.
At the top of Jinyang City, Zhao Yun, Zhao Lei and others were much faster than Liu Zhang. Looking at the dense crowd of Yuan Shaojun under the city, Zhao Yun and others held the weapons in their hands tightly, and their hearts were full of nervousness. At this time, Liu Zhang came in big strides
, he looked at the nervous generals and the fearful soldiers, and asked loudly: "Generals and soldiers, are you afraid when you look at Yuan Shao's army densely packed under the city?"
