Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 844 Deliberately increasing troops to stabilize the enemy

Wu Shuo ran wildly behind him, seeing Xian Yudan's chest pierced from the best position, he held his iron gun and urged the horse to move forward.

Because Lan Ji's horse was fast, Wu Shuo arrived at the moment Xian Yudan fell to the ground, only to see him raise his gun in advance and make a sprinting posture.

Lan Ji was young and quick-witted, he could roughly know the opponent's position just by listening to the sound of the horse's hooves.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Shuo stabbed out with his long spear.

Lan Ji grabbed the reins with his left hand and turned around. The bay red horse under his crotch roared and raised its front hooves. The Canglong Pojun halberd was raised above his head with one hand.

The avalanche of arrogance not only made Wu Shuo's crotch hot, but also the front hoof of the horse he was riding went limp, and he even knelt forward.

The war horse was engulfed by the huge impact, rolled on the ground for a week, and then collapsed and couldn't get up.

Wu Shuo was thrown out by the horse just now, his head hit the ground, his neck was broken and he died on the spot.

With one enemy against two, Lan Ji not only killed one general easily, but also frightened another general to death with his men and horses. This scene is hardly seen in Jiangdong.

Fanatical cheers erupted from Lantian's side, and the jaw-dropping soldiers on Lu Fan's side couldn't close it for a long time.

16 years old, is he still human?Everyone in Jiangdong has this question.

There were already three corpses lying in the formation of the two armies, but no one dared to go up and get them back.

"Who else?" Lan Ji pointed at the enemy with his halberd angrily, as if it was the cry of an invincible king.

The shouts echoed in the formation of the two armies, and the horses in front of the Wu army became uneasy. Lu Ju and Cheng Zi secretly leaned back, worried that Lan Ji would see him and call the roll again.

"Who else?"

Lan Ji shouted fiercely again, Wu Jun's formation was completely silent for a while, because the gap was too big, no one wanted to die.

"Fu Jun, what should we do?" Song Chen asked in a low voice.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Lan Tian smiled and told Song Chen: "Zhongling killed three generals in a row, and the other army was already frightened. He ordered the three armies to attack immediately, and killed one by surprise."

"Wei." Song Chen responded with clasped fists, then took out a whistle with his left hand and command flag with his right hand, giving the order to attack.

Hao Pu and Mi Fang led their troops to move after hearing the order. The soldiers in Lingling and Changsha were encouraged and shouted excitedly and rushed towards the enemy line.

The Wu army failed in consecutive battles, and at this time they were too timid to fight. As soon as Lantian's army attacked, Lu Fan's formation began to be chaotic.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Lu Fan drew out his sword decisively and beheaded several cowardly soldiers in front of the formation, and managed to stabilize the scattered positions.

Lan Tian retreated as soon as he saw it was good, and the army only covered two or three miles, and then let Song Chen retreat in Mingjin, and the soldiers in front withdrew back in full satisfaction.

Back in the camp, Lan Ji walked in with his silver helmet in his arms, Hao Pu and Mi Fang didn't treat him as a child anymore, but stood up respectfully to greet him.

"I'm back." Lan Tian nodded kindly, pointing to the side for Lan Ji to sit down and drink water.

Lan Ji walked up to the seat, clasped his fists and asked puzzledly: "Father, the Wu army has been defeated just now, and it is possible to chase it to the county seat. Why did you withdraw the troops so quickly?"

Lan Tian stroked his beard and replied: "We can't scare Lu Fan in one battle. If he leads his troops back to Jiangdong, the long-term plan for his father will be ineffective."

"It turned out to be like this, the youth camp was not very enjoyable." Lan Ji sat on the table.

"There will be opportunities in the future." Lan Tian smiled slightly.

"Fu Jun, what should we do next?" Mi Fang asked for instructions with a smile and clasped fists.

Mi Fang was a bit puzzled at first, they both had the same relationship with Liu Bei, so they couldn't be reused just because Lantian has many nephews, and they know how to farm land, and her own Mi family also provided money and food.

Now Mi Fang is convinced of Lan Tian, ​​he is going to learn from Wu Ban who restrained Zhu Ran, as long as he obeys his advice.

Lan Tianzhengse told everyone: "You pick out all the old and weak from the army, and then arrange them around the camp for defense. In addition, let Taishou Xi leave [-] soldiers in Liling, and the rest of the Guiyang soldiers will come to meet up immediately."

"Wei." Mi Fang and Hao Pu clasped their fists at the same time.

"Aren't you afraid that Lu Fan will run away? Then why do you need to increase troops?" Lan Ji scratched his head in confusion, his question was also the question of everyone.

Lan Tian stroked to explain: "This is a trick of the suspicious soldiers. Today we use you to kill Yu Wei, but in fact, it didn't hurt the Wu army at all. The purpose of changing the defense and increasing troops for the father is to show weakness. Lu Fan knows that he will not run away."

"Uh, how to win next?" Lan Ji still didn't quite understand, thinking that wouldn't it be more refreshing to go straight?
With a serious expression on his face, Lan Tian spit out a word: "Wait."

Lu Fan led his troops back to Pingxiang County in embarrassment. There were three vacant seats in the lobby of the county government last night, but now even the corpses have not been recovered, and the morale of the generals in the hall has collapsed to the bottom.

The dull atmosphere lasted for an hour, until Lu Ju settled the battle damage and submitted it to the case.

"Let's just say it." Lu Fangen was not in the mood to look through it.

"When our army retreated, [-] were killed, [-] were slightly injured, and [-] were seriously injured," Lu Ju replied in a low voice.

Lu Fan heard a shock, his originally lazy body suddenly straightened up, and asked suspiciously: "Is that all?"

"Indeed." Lu Ju's tone was firm.

"How is it possible?" Lu Fan showed a surprised expression.

At this time, the veteran Song Qian stood up and clasped his fists, "General Ziheng, when we retreated just now, the last general observed carefully. The army in Lantian is not an army in the formation, so the combat effectiveness is not high. I'm afraid that hundreds of people were lost in the pursuit just now."

"The last general has also noticed, but the hundreds of people around Lan Ji are really quite powerful." Cheng Zi followed suit and stood up.

Lu Fan slapped the table with his palm, "Is Lan Ji born to Lan Tian? How could there be such a big gap between father and son? Fortunately, our army has a huge advantage in strength, so we can only use crowd tactics to defeat the enemy."

"Lan Ji is brave and invincible. The morale of all the battalions is low. They may have to rest for a while. Why don't the generals take this opportunity to find out what is going on in Lan Tian?" Chief Secretary Liu Dun stood up and advised.

"Zi Ren's words are very kind." Lu Fan nodded, turned his head and told Lu Ju: "Shi Yi, send more scouts to the Lantian camp to investigate, and report any news as soon as possible."

"Wei." Lu Ju walked out of the lobby with his fists clasped.

Lu Fan waved his hands and continued to order: "Everyone go back to the camp to appease the soldiers and tell them that Lantian is just like that. I will get back the shame today."

"Wei." Song Qian and the others got up to leave one after another.

The next day, Lan Tian ordered people to return the bodies of Zhou Shao, Xian Yudan and Wu Shuo, and threatened to mobilize troops from all walks of life to fight Lu Fan to the death in Pingxiang.

The defense of the Lantian camp was reported back to Pingxiang, and reinforcements from Liling arrived two days later. Lu Fan urgently summoned the chief secretary Liu Dun to ask for advice.

"Zi Ren has always been so smart, what do you think Lan Tian wants to do? Does he really care about Jiaozhou?" Lu Fan was full of question marks.
