fire!

fire!

fire!

The flames that ignited from the Han army's camp engulfed the nearby mountains and forests.

If you look down from the sky, you will find that the remaining mountains with a circumference of more than 20 miles are now like volcanoes erupting, with fire everywhere.

The flames soared into the sky and could be seen clearly in Xunyang and Qichun dozens of miles away.

"Even if such a fire does not burn all the Han troops to death, all the weapons, food and grass will be burned, and the Han troops will no longer be able to attack Wu."

Once the sadness that had been trapped in his heart for many days was gone, Lu Xun showed the most cheerful smile on his face.

Then, Sun Huan, wearing armor, rushed forward from behind.

His face was stern, with black ash on his face. It was obvious that he had just rushed into the Han army camp.

"Grand Governor, something is wrong."

Something's wrong?

What's wrong?

Lu Xun frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"There are almost no Han troops in the camp. The few people killed were all civilians. It's so strange."

no one?

"Impossible! When we were looking far into the mountains just now, there were Han troops patrolling the camp. Why can't they find anyone now?"

People can't see it, but corpses can always be seen, right?

"This is very strange."

Weird is weird.

Lu Xun's right eyelid twitched wildly, feeling uneasy.

"The food, grass, ordnance was burned, but not many Han troops were killed. We won this battle!"

His purpose of coming here was not to kill the Han army.

But let the Han army withdraw.

"I'm afraid the weapons, food and fodder are all fake."

Sun Huan's face was full of bitterness.

"What does the general mean by this?"

Lu Xun was a little anxious.

"If it's an urgent matter, please call us as soon as possible!"

"The last general just went to see the baggage in the Han army's camp and found many unburned cloth bags. He was about to add fire to burn the Han army's food and grass baggage clean, but in the end, he found what kind of food and grass was there. The baggage is clearly made of sand! Each bag is filled with sand!"

Sandy soil?

Combined with this, there are not many Han troops in this camp.

Lu Xun shouted immediately.

"Fell into a trap!"

"Get out!"

After learning that there was an ambush, it seemed that many Han troops were ambush in the gloomy woods among the high mountains.

"If we have to withdraw now, I'm afraid it's too late." Sun Huan smiled bitterly.

They had been delayed here long enough, long enough for the Han army to close the encirclement.

In order to burn down the entire Han army camp, they had been delayed here for half an hour.

As far as the war situation is concerned, this half hour is enough to affect the direction of the entire war.

"Gather the team and retreat towards Xunyang. This trip will be difficult, but as long as we retreat, our Wu Kingdom will not be injured."

Even if they were all caught in it, they would only lose 10,000 people.

Just stay here with Xunyang.

"It's better to retreat to the walled city outside Xunyang. It's more than thirty miles away from Xunyang City. There will be constant ambushes along the way. If we go the other way and settle down in the stronghold on the Xunyang defense line first, I may not be able to wait until the right time and return to seek the sun."

Copycat?

Lu Xun thought about this possibility.

But he soon shook his head.

"There are cottages all over the Xunyang Defense Line, and the grain and grass in the villages are only enough for them to eat for two years. If ten thousand of us go there, we may be short of food and grass in a month or two, and we can't go to the cottages on the Xunyang Defense Line!"

Don't go to these cottages.

Then these cottages are a difficult nut to crack for the Han army.

After leaving, the Han army surrounded but refused to attack. After a month or two, the stronghold collapsed.

There was no food left, and no matter how firm the Wu army's determination to defend the territory was, there was only one way to go: surrender.

Of course Lu Xun would not do this kind of thing that would hold him back!

"But you did provide me with an idea. We can go in the direction of Qichun first to confuse the Han army, and then take a detour to find Yang."

The falsehood and trueness will naturally make the Han army confused.

It will also provide the retreating Wu army with more chances to survive.

"In that case, Commander-in-Chief, give me three thousand men and horses to march toward Xunyang to serve as suspects!"

Suspicious soldier?

Lu Xun looked intolerable.

"Just heading in this direction will lead to death and no life."

"If we can get most of Wu's army to leave, it will not be a pity to die! Besides, the most dangerous place is also the safest place. Maybe there will be a chance of survival on the way to Xunyang!"

"Then it's settled."

Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, this is just a waste of time!

Under the fierce firelight, it took Wu Jun a full quarter of an hour to gather his troops. After that, they immediately divided into two groups, heading towards Xunyang and Qichun.

It was already dawn at this time, and it was not yet dark, but from a distance, the movement of the Wu army could still be seen.

"Intercept Wu Jun's large army, disperse them, and then rush them into Wu Jun's stronghold."

Liu Chan was standing on a mountain peak not far from the Han army's stronghold.

Looking down from here, you can see that the two Wu armies have separated.

"Why didn't Your Highness intercept the Wu army just now? The terrain where the mountain stronghold is located is rugged and the valley entrance is narrow. If troops were deployed here in advance and all the troops came in, the Wu army would be completely wiped out."

The place where the Han army camped was among the lofty mountains, with rugged roads and narrow valley entrances. If a surprise force had been prepared in advance, the Wu army would definitely not be able to escape.

This is especially true when they know that they are being ambushed and are being tricked. They are so frightened that they only want to escape and do not dare to fight at all.

"There are only more than ten thousand Wu troops here. Even if they are all wiped out, it will not have much impact on the situation."

As a fisherman, Liu Chan must catch big fish.

In Liu Chan's opinion, the ten thousand Wu troops in front of him can only be regarded as little fish the size of a palm.

There was still a slight gap between the big fish he expected.

"Then what your Highness means is, how to deal with these Wu troops?"

"Didn't I already say it? First, the army surrounded them, dispersed them, and then drove them into the Wu army's stronghold. In addition, if you can take advantage of this opportunity to defraud a few copycat cities, that would be great. .”

Liu Chan's eyes were deep, and he looked at the Wu army heading towards Xunyang.

If he could make money from Xunyang City with these three thousand Wu troops, then it would be worthwhile for him to invest a camp for Lu Xun to burn!

"Drive~"

"Drive~"

"Quick, quick!"

The Han army camp was only more than thirty miles away from Xunyang, but Sun Huan felt that this journey was too long.

"Come on~"

"Kill!"

When Wu Jun arrived at the entrance of the valley, he heard a sound that shook the mountains and forests on both sides.

"The Han army ambush, the Han army ambush!"

"Run!"

"General, retreat quickly!"

The night attack on the Han army's camp failed and they retreated in a hurry. The soldiers already knew that they had fallen into the Han army's plan.

All of them were already worried, and now they saw the Han army ambushing them. They could be described as losing their armor for a while.

Whoosh whoosh~

Arrows were flying in the mountains, and rocks were seen rolling down the cliffs on both sides.

In just a few breaths, dozens of Wu soldiers were shot to death, and many unlucky ones were hit with rocks until their brains came out.

Bad thing!

Bad thing!

If I had known earlier, I would have gone with the Governor. This road is really a dead end!

Seeing this situation, Sun Huan began to regret in his heart.

"General, leave quickly!" Deputy General Sun Huan stepped forward and protected Sun Huan behind him.

"General, retreat first. I will break up the rear here."

At this moment, a steady stream of Han troops were rushing towards the mountains and forests.

In a hand-to-hand encounter, the Wu army was completely defeated. It can be described as a unilateral massacre.

It's too awful.

The longer you stay here, the less likely you are to save your life.

Sun Huan gritted his teeth and said: "I am the general, how can I let you cut off the throne?"

Vice General Sun Huan was a general of the Gu family, one of the four major families in Jiangdong. His name was Gu Yong. It was precisely because of his courage that he was promoted by the Gu family and even married his second daughter.

This man was a man of temperament, and Sun Huan got along very well with him.

You can call them friends and relatives.

How could he bear to see such close friends and relatives dying to protect him?

"General, don't act like a woman. If you delay it any longer, I'm afraid neither you nor I can survive. If the general leaves first, after the last general is cut off, there may still be a way to survive."

"Brothers!"

Sun Huan had tears in his eyes and was deeply moved.

What is a good brother? This is a good brother!

Putting aside the last trace of reluctance in his heart, Sun Huan immediately gritted his teeth and said: "If you are still alive, Gu Datou, then I, Sun Huan, owe you a life. If you are asked in the future, I will risk my life to help; if If you die, I will take care of your wife, so don’t worry about it!"

After saying that, Sun Huan jumped on his horse nearby without wasting any more time.

He waved the riding whip in his hand, not caring about the force of the whip hitting the horse's buttocks. The horse felt pain and immediately neighed and bolted towards the exit.

I don't know if it was because of God's favor. Although the Han army's momentum was fierce, they still managed to fight a bloody way out for him.

of course

In other words, a way should be left for him.

After leaving the valley entrance, Sun Huan turned around and saw that all the Han troops in the mountains and forests on both sides had rushed down.

Those Wu troops were like headless flies, being divided and killed by the Han troops, and their resistance became weaker and weaker.

Only Gu Yong, who was extremely brave, actually rushed out of a way and retreated in another direction towards Sun Huan.

He led hundreds of men and immediately attracted most of the Han army's attention.

Seeing this, Sun Huan was even more moved.

Gu Yong, you must survive!

Sun Huan screamed in his heart.

Wiping away the tears on his face with his left hand, Sun Huan immediately ran towards Xunyang City.

Half an hour later, the horse was tired from running, foaming at the mouth, and fainted on the road. Sun Huan jumped off the horse, took off his armor, leaving only a sword, and immediately ran towards Xunyang City. And go.

Later, Sun Huan may have felt that the swords in his hands were all a burden, so he simply threw them away.

Compared with Sun Huan's embarrassment, Gu Yong was obviously much more relaxed.

After Sun Huan walked away, Gu Yong immediately stopped.

The soldier Wu behind him immediately asked: "General, we are not out of danger yet, why did you stop?"

Gu Yong smiled softly and said: "Everyone, please run away for your lives. I am tired and plan to meet the Han army here."

"No general!"

The soldier Wu immediately said: "If you run away now, there is still a way to survive. Why did the general give up his life?"

"We are running in the direction of Xunyang. Now we are getting further and further away from Xunyang. Nearby is the Jigong Mountain Stronghold. This stronghold is indestructible. You can enter this stronghold first and wait for me to ambush here. After killing a Han general and getting the credit, I will join you again!"

Kill the Han general?

This group of Wu soldiers were stunned.

Feelings: General Gu Yong is not going to die, but is going to make meritorious deeds?

This is simply outrageous.

"General, this plan is too risky. It can be called ten deaths but no life. Please stay useful and don't take risks!"

Gu Yong snorted coldly and said: "If you want to ambush with me, stay here. If not, go to the Jigong Mountain stronghold! If you dare to make noise again, do you really think that the ring-headed knife in someone's hand will be harmful?"

Stay here?

They are not fierce men like Gu Yong, how can they dare to stay in this dangerous place?

Seeing that he could not persuade Gu Yong, and the current situation was so urgent, Sergeant Wu immediately said: "In that case, we will wait for news from the general at Jigong Mountain Village!"

After saying that, hundreds of Wu troops immediately ran away towards the Jigong Mountain stronghold.

If you don't listen to good people, you will suffer the consequences.

Gu Yong, no matter how brave you are, so what?

Two hands are no match for four, and even a good man is afraid of being beaten by a group!

Stay here?

What's the difference between dying and dying?

slip away!

Watching hundreds of Wu troops leave.

Gu Yong turned his horse's head and ran towards the place where the Han army was ambushing.

Arriving at the mouth of the valley, Gu Yong shouted loudly:

"I am Gu Yong!"

After running away first, Gu Yong spoke loudly and made his identity clear.

"I am Jian Junsi Baihu!"

Zhang Bao led the army forward. He already knew Gu Yong's identity, so he had spared no effort when using his troops.

otherwise

With 10,000 of his elite troops ambushing the mountains on both sides, how could Sun Huan and his 3,000 men escape?

"Are you Gu Yong?"

Zhang Bao, wearing armor, reined in his horse and stepped forward to ask.

"I am Gu Yong."

Zhang Bao looked at Gu Yong's appearance, turned to Zhou Che, who was dressed in black and wearing a hat and veil, and asked, "Secretary Zhou, is this person?"

After Zhou Che took over some of the powers of the Jianjunsi, he already controlled many of the secretaries of the Jianjunsi of Wu State.

She is now the direct supervisor of Gu Yong in this military department.

"That's the person."

Each shadow has some characteristics recorded on it.

Gu Yong's facial features are eight feet tall, with a big head and short neck. Relatively speaking, he is relatively easy to identify.

"That being the case, do you know your mission this time?"

Gu Yong nodded immediately.

"When I receive the news this time, I am ready to make contributions to the Han Dynasty and earn a fortune in Xunyang City!"

Although Gu Yong's relationship with Sun Huan was good, it was not good enough to kill him.

The reason for doing this is not to pave the way for entering Xunyang City!

"There are thousands of costumes of the Wu army in the field. I will let the three hundred Han army pretend to be the Wu army and put it under your control. After entering Xunyang City, I want you to guard the city gate until the Han army enters Xunyang City. You can do it. ?”

There are still more than 10,000 Wu soldiers in Xunyang City.

These people are not elites, but they are not idiots either.

As for the Jiangdong Navy, they roamed among the rivers and lakes. As long as they captured Xunyang in a short time, these Jiangdong Navy had nothing to do with the Han army!

Moreover, Xunyang City is not on the edge of a large river, and the water flow in Xunshui is not strong, so large ships cannot be used and only small boats can be used. In this case, the threat of Jiangdong Navy will be greatly weakened.

"Three hundred soldiers are enough to guard the city gate."

Zhang Bao nodded heavily.

"In this battle, if we can capture Xunyang City, you will be the first to take advantage of it. I am not a person who is greedy for merit. I will definitely show my merit for you. With your merit, you can even be made a marquis. I will also speak well in front of His Highness. With a few words, I will replace your family members in Wu Kingdom."

Gu Yong looked indifferent.

"The family members are spared. If I can be granted the title of Marquis, I will definitely serve your Highness to the death for the rest of my life!"

Your family doesn’t want it anymore?

Zhang Bao looked shocked.

This is a cruel person!

"In that case, without further ado, please ask General Gu to take these three hundred people to Xunyang!"

During the time when Gu Yong left, some Han troops had already put on Wu Jun's armor uniforms.

With the bloody flag of the Wu army, it looks like a Wu army.

"promise!"

Gu Yong stood up immediately.

With the temptation of becoming a lord, he is not afraid of going up a mountain of swords or going down into a sea of ​​fire!

As for why they don’t want Wu Guozhong’s family members?

The reason is very simple.

This son-in-law is inappropriate! (End of chapter)
