Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 73 70. Capturing Lu Xun alive (110)

Seeing Li Yi dead on the spot, Lu Xun was terrified and tried to escape immediately. Fortunately, he found a horse in the chaos and gathered a group of Wu soldiers to follow him.

Because of the Han army's encirclement and strangulation, the position of Yingkou seemed to have a flaw, which made Lu Xun overjoyed. He pointed at Yingkou and shouted loudly:
"Soldiers, fight your way out from now on and you still have a chance to survive!"

The hundreds of Wu soldiers who followed him were immediately inspired and fought hard. Just when they were about to break through the Han army's encirclement and escape, the road they came from was brightly lit, and a fully armed Han army appeared outside the camp, blocking their retreat.

At this time, Lu Xun was almost going crazy.

He didn't understand what had gone wrong and how he had ended up in this situation.

Looking at Feng Xi riding his horse and chasing after him from behind, he subconsciously shouted:
"Don't come over here! Don't come any closer!"

"?"

This roar really confused Feng Xi.

"What? Do you think you are Bu Jingyun? Or have you been hit by my Golden Experience Requiem? If you tell me not to come over, then I won't come over."

After a brief moment of confusion, Feng Xi also killed the surrounding Wu soldiers and rode forward. Lu Xun desperately drew out his long sword and tried to fight Feng Xi to the death. But unfortunately, although Lu Xun had learned swordsmanship, he could only deal with those third-rate and inferior minions.

Facing Feng Xi at this moment, Lu Xun couldn't even look at him. In the first round, Lu Xun's long sword was knocked to the ground by the spear. Before the second round, Lu Xun was knocked off his horse by Feng Xi, and the surrounding Han soldiers rushed over and pinned him down.

"You, the Grand Commander, have been captured alive! If you want to live, put down your weapons and stay where you are! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

Feng Xi took down his big iron loudspeaker from beside the saddle and shouted loudly. The Wu army in the field looked over here and found that Lu Xun had been placed on a high watchtower with disheveled hair. They immediately lost their will to fight and simply dropped their weapons and squatted aside as Feng Xi said.

Many Wu soldiers wanted to resist stubbornly, but were strangled to death by the surrounding Han army. Those who huddled together were shot like hedgehogs by the Shenji Camp.

"Tied him up and locked him up. Anyone who dares to rescue him will be killed. After the situation is pacified tonight, I will hand him over to your majesty for his fate."

Here Feng Xi was arranging matters concerning the prisoners, and a Han army general outside the camp also rode into the camp on horseback. It was Zhang Nan.

"Xiu Yuan, you are truly amazing. How did you know that the Wu army would attack the camp on such a windy day?"

While Zhang Nan and Feng Xi were joining forces, he took the time to ask.

"It's very simple. The Wu army's morale and manpower are inferior to ours, so if they want to fight back, they have to rely on the power of water and fire. And the Wu army is good at fire attacks, so they will naturally choose to attack our camp at night when the southeast wind is strong and suitable for fire attacks."

Feng Xi shrugged. It was not difficult to make these inferences based on the current situation and Lu Xun's thoughts in history. In fact, Lu Xun's current situation was worse than the original situation, so he had to take risks and take action when he had the chance.

"Have you dealt with the situation there?"

After Feng Xi sorted out the prisoners, he asked Zhang Nan.

"Okay, as you requested before, a small group of Wu troops came to set fire tonight. After they were defeated and fled, I followed your request and left more than 2,000 people to guard the camp. The rest all went down the river, leaving more than 1,000 people to watch the boats, and the remaining 5,000 surrounded our camp from the southeast. But I saw that everything in the southeast was burned, so I thought I would come to see how you are doing first."

Zhang Nan said with great pride.

Not long ago, Ding Feng and his 2,000 men secretly wanted to burn down the naval camp, but Zhang Nan had already prepared. Ding Feng's men were not well equipped, so they were easily defeated when they encountered the fully armed Han army. Even Ding Feng himself had to flee the Yiling battlefield in advance and take a small boat to Jiangling. "Well done. Then you guard the South Camp for me and keep an eye on the captives. This is the mastermind behind the fire. I will take him to the police station later. If he runs away, I will hold you responsible."

Feng Xi pointed at Lu Xun and took the Shenwu Camp to rescue other camps, leaving Zhang Nan confused.

"Where is the police station?"

Feng Xi led the Shenwu Camp to start the rescue from the South Camp in a counterclockwise order. When Zhang Nan came, he passed by the Southeast Camp and said that it had been burned down, so there was no need to go there.

Secondly, the central army was guarded by his old buddy Fu Rong, and Feng Xi still believed that the honest Fu Rong would not compromise on his fire prevention requirements and would definitely be able to handle it. It would be better for him to rescue other generals and preserve the strength of the Han army.

Under the leadership of Feng Xi, the Shenwu Camp began to march counterclockwise along the Han army camp. On the way, some generals listened to Feng Xi's arrangements. Although the camp was a little panicked, they still managed to resist the Wu army after a short period of panic and fought fiercely with it.

Feng Xi's Shenwu Camp was like a heavenly army that came to the earth, directly saving these obedient generals and soldiers, helping them to kill the Wu army, and forcing them to surrender or flee. Feng Xi also marched non-stop to the next camp.

Some generals ignored Feng Xi's orders and handled the matter hastily. At this time, there was chaos, with the generals not knowing their soldiers and the soldiers not knowing their generals.

After Feng Xi's new forces rushed in, they immediately wiped out all the Wu troops who had set fire and killed people. Feng Xi used a loudspeaker to stabilize the morale of the troops, and those who dared to spread rumors and continue to create chaos were directly killed without mercy.

In this way, Feng Xi was also satisfied to see that Zhao Rong and Xiang Chong's troops did not suffer too much loss because they strictly followed his requirements. The two even killed more than a thousand Wu troops who came to attack the camp and were trying to contact other camps.

Feng Xi asked them to remain on guard while he killed his way forward.

At this time, Zhou Tai was also cursing on a small road.

"You bastard! I really believed that pretty boy's lies. Is this called the Shu army's chaos?"

At this time, Zhou Tai was already leading his troops to retreat.

More than half an hour ago, according to Lu Xun's arrangement, he saw the fire in the Han army's camp and immediately led his men to attack the Han army's rear camp and cut off the Han army's retreat.

Who would have thought that when Zhou Tai broke into the Han army's rear camp, he would find something wrong.

How could this Han army be in chaos because of the fire? This group of white-robed Han soldiers lined up neatly, and when they saw him, they were not panicked at all and just came up to fight.

Zhou Tai immediately understood that Lu Xun was unreliable! His trick was discovered by the other side!
Zhou Tai originally trusted Lu Xun for the last time. When he saw that Lu Xun's plan was seen through, he no longer foolishly attacked the rear camp of the Han army, but successfully retreated after suffering some casualties.

What Zhou Tai didn't know was that the rear camp he attacked was actually Wu Ban's main camp. If he hadn't retreated quickly, he would have followed in Lu Xun's footsteps.

"I will tell the King of Wu when I return. This Lu Boyan is just an incompetent scholar. He lost General Han and more than 10,000 soldiers in vain."

Zhou Tai also took the opportunity to observe the Han army's camp during the retreat. As he expected, except for the southeast camp that was on fire at the beginning, many other camps were like a pool of stagnant water, with no waves at all.

What about the Wu army that had charged in? Zhou Tai could guess with his not-so-smart brain that they must have been surrounded by the Han army and strangled directly in this densely packed camp, without even a chance to escape.
