Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 212 Kill Wen Chou, Capture Gao Lan (3)

"Come on! Go ahead and have a look, what happened?" Gao Lan and Chun Yuqiong, who were marching towards Guandu, saw the chaos in front of them, so they hurriedly ordered people to check.

Among Gao Lan's personal soldiers, one immediately went to check.

"Brother Gao! It seems to be the cavalry led by Wen Chou!" Chunyu Qiong set up a pergola, looked forward, and after some identification, said to Gao Lan.

"How is this possible? Wen Chou led the cavalry to pursue the enemy. Even if he lost, he wouldn't be in such a state." Gao Lan said in disbelief, not to mention he didn't believe it, even Chunyu Qiong himself couldn't believe it.

But the facts are right in front of our eyes. These guys who have discarded their armor and run on two legs can vaguely tell from the special symbols on their bodies that they are cavalry led by Wen Chou, but they don't know how they turned into this appearance.

"Only when my soldiers come back will I know what's going on!" Gao Lan sighed, and said helplessly, hoping that nothing would happen to Wen Chou, everything was a false alarm.

"The order! The whole army rests in place, pay attention to vigilance!" Chunyu Qiong nodded in agreement, and said to the orderer behind him.

"Promise!" The messengers were able to convey Chunyu Qiong's order, and the army rested on the spot, and sent out some troops to guard around.

Not long after, the soldiers who went to investigate came back to report to Gao Lan. Before the soldiers could speak, Gao Lan couldn't wait to ask first: "How is it! What's the situation ahead?"

Sometimes, the more people are afraid of something, the more they will come. The soldiers said: "General Qi! General Wen Chou was cut off by the enemy when he was chasing the enemy! The cavalry was defeated!"

"What did you say?" Chunyu Qiong shouted in surprise, until now the two of them couldn't believe it was true.

"General Wen Chou has been beheaded, and the former army was defeated! Fleeing all the way here, I met our army." The soldier said again.

"Who said this, dare to scare me here! Do you know what the crime should be?" Gao Lan put his hand on the hilt of his sword and glared at the soldiers. The news of Wen Chou's killing must not be leaked at this time, so as not to shake the morale of the army.

"General, I don't dare to lie. This is what General Wen Chou's lieutenant-general said! Please tell the general!" The soldiers were scared to death.

"Go and bring this person to me!" Gao Lan said, "I want to ask myself!"

"No!" The guard hurriedly took the order and left in a short while, bringing Wen Chou's lieutenant to Gao Lan and Chun Yuqiong.

"I have seen the two generals!" The man clasped his fists at Gao Lan and saluted them.

"How did you do this? Tell me about the process!" Chun Yuqiong and the others obviously knew this person, and he was Wen Chou's lieutenant general.

"You two generals, it's hard to describe in one word!..." Lieutenant General Wen Chou told Gao Lan and Chun Yuqiong about the pursuit.

From the time they got off their horses to snatch supplies, until Wen Chou was beheaded by Xiao Mahe, until finally the whole army was defeated!
"You two generals, I ask the generals to check everything that I say is true!" Deputy General Wen Chou said.

Gao Lan and Chunyu Qiong looked at each other after hearing this!They thought about many possibilities, but they never expected such a result.

"Brother Chunyu, what should we do about this? Is the army advancing or retreating?" Gao Lan asked.

Chunyu Qiong naturally understood what Gao Lan meant!This is to let him make up his mind, whether to continue to advance according to Yuan Shao's order, or to withdraw his troops immediately to preserve his strength.

Wen Chou had been beheaded now, and the cavalry had been routed. Naturally, there was no need to march according to the original plan. If Wen Chou was still there, it would be no problem to continue marching, but now Wen Chou is dead.

If he went back like this, it was inevitable that Yuan Shao would not have any thoughts. He was a minister with Yuan Shao back then, so he naturally knew what kind of urine he was. If someone slandered him again, the consequences would be disastrous.

Therefore, this idea is not easy to take!
"I don't know what advice Brother Gao has?" If you want him to take responsibility alone, there is no way!

Gao Lan sighed secretly in his heart, in fact, when he learned of Wen Chou's death, he wanted to retire, not because he was greedy for life and afraid of death!Want to get away!At any rate, Gao Lan has fought on the battlefield for many years, and he is considered experienced in hundreds of battles. How could he be scared out of his wits because a Wen Chou was killed.

However, firstly, Wen Chou is dead, and the original strategic goal has lost its meaning. Second, I don’t know if the enemy is still in ambush. Whether he just wants to kill Wen Chou alone, or wants to take them all together. Before it is determined, He dared not take the risk.

"In my opinion! It's better to retreat to Yanjin first, and then send people to Liyang to report the matter to the lord, and wait for the lord's decision." Gao Lan said, after thinking about it, he came up with this plan.

"Alright! That's exactly what I mean too!" Chunyu Qiong agreed.

"Report!" A fast horse galloped from behind the army, and reined in the horse in front of the two of them. When the two of them saw the approaching person, an ominous premonition struck their hearts, "Report to the general! We found a large number of people in the rear. The enemy army is coming towards our army!"

"What?" Gao Lan and the two were shocked!Chunyu Qiong shouted.

"Report!" Another fast horse galloped in front of the army, and stopped in front of them, "Report to the general! There are a large number of enemy troops ahead to kill our army!"

It's really a broken house, but it rains all night!

"Order! The front army moves forward to block the invading enemy in front, and the rear army immediately turns to meet the enemy behind! The Chinese army responds at any time!" The situation was urgent, and the two had no time to think about it, so Gao Lan immediately ordered.

Now I can only hope that Yuan Shao can find out the situation here as soon as possible, and can send reinforcements, otherwise, I am afraid that he will die on the battlefield and be shrouded in horse leather!
"Promise!" The messenger responded, riding his horse back and forth in the army, "the general has an order! The front army moves forward to block the invading enemy ahead! The rear army turns immediately and meets the enemy behind! The central army responds at any time !"

The order was conveyed in an instant!
"Array!" Under the command of the general, the front and rear troops left to form a defensive formation, with shields standing in front of them, spears pointing upwards, past the shields, and the spear points pointing straight ahead.

The army lined up, waiting silently, and the air was filled with depression!
The dust is flying in front, a large number of enemy troops are coming here, and the archers point their bows and arrows at the sky!

"Let go!" The officer gave the order!The archer let go of the bowstring in his hand, and the trembling bowstring threw the feather arrow into the air, drew an arc, and shot down like a violent storm.

"Praise them!" Coming from behind the army, Li Cunxiao led the cavalry, with Ma Chao as the assistant, rushing towards the enemy formation like a flying arrow.

A charge, after killing and wounding some soldiers and horses, finally broke through the enemy's formation, tore a hole in the enemy's army, and the cavalry fought in the army like a torrent.

In front of the army, Xue Rengui personally led the horse infantry to kill the generals!
Although the army resisted desperately, it was eventually pierced by the enemy troops attacking from front and back, and it was divided into two.
