Chapter 209 The Inexplicable Army

Jian'an 13th year, AD 208, spring

Cao Cao took the lead in launching the attack. He personally led an army of 20 to take Xiangcheng from Nanyang, and ordered the Qiang King Feng Xian to lead an army of [-] to challenge Chang'an.

Not long after, Liu Bei ordered Xu Huang to order an army of [-] to take Liyang, and personally led the troops to take Hanoi.

Then he sent Xiang Feng to join Feng Xian and take Chang'an together.

Sun Quan couldn't bear it anymore, so he made Lu Xun the governor, and led [-] troops into Xuzhou.

Zhang Lan fell into siege again.

Then he ordered Huang Zhong to lead Qingzhou soldiers and horses to attack Liu Bei and take his rear.

Huang Zhong led an army of [-] to attack Leling and Nanpi.

He also ordered Cao Bao to resist Sun Quan.

Then send Zhang He to lead the rescue.

Later, Cao Bao lost to Lu Xun and was buried in the middle. His generals packed up the remnants and fled back to Pengcheng. Zhang He led his Xuzhou troops to contend with Lu Xun.

Liyang had few soldiers, and was also attacked by Xu Huang. Yu Jin led the troops to retreat to Baima.

Chang'an was also surrounded by groups and was in danger.

But Huang Zhong broke Leling and rushed to Nanpi, Zhang Fei led the troops to arrive, and the two armies fought, each winning or losing.

Jian'an 13th year, AD 208, summer

Luoyang City
"Your Majesty, 5000 hot air balloons have been built, and [-] air force troops are ready to go into battle."

When Guo Jia came to the study, he saw Zhang Lan smoking a cigarette, and he was very impressed.

During this period of time, Zhang Lan did not personally lead the troops to fight, so he has been in Luoyang City, and many things are not very clear.

It wasn't until he learned that Zhang Lan ordered the full development of hot air balloons that he suddenly understood.

It can be said that Zhang Lan prevented Guo Jia from displaying his talents, although it was because Zhang Lan trusted him, but it was equivalent to locking a tiger in a prison, unable to display it.

Zhang Lan took a deep breath, then exhaled the smoke, and said to Guo Jia, "Well, come, Feng Xiao"

He went to the map hanging on the wall and continued, "Cao Cao wanted to take Chang'an and Xuchang, Liu Bei wanted to take Liyang and Hanoi, and Sun Quan also wanted to attack Pengcheng.

Our army is fully attacked, and only Sun Quan is weak among the three parties. I want to gather my troops and destroy them, so as to eliminate one trouble. Is it possible? "

"Taking Sun Quan is the best policy, but if you think about it, Cao Cao and Liu Bei will definitely not sit back and watch, but if you gather all your strength to attack my rear, then I am afraid that the rear will not be safe."

Zhang Lan shook her head, "It only takes 5 horses to destroy Sun Quan."

Guo Jia was shocked, and then he was taken aback because he understood what Zhang Lan meant.

"The lord wants to go to him personally?"

Zhang Lan nodded, "Of course."

"No way"

"Why?"

Guo Jia took a deep breath and said, "My lord is a body of ten thousand gold, how can I use my body as a bait? If something goes wrong, what will happen to my republic?"

"No problem, if not, Luoyang will be attacked by thieves in a short time."

"This"

"Needless to say, I've made up my mind"

Zhang Lan raised her hand to stop Guo Jia.

"Feng Xiao, the 6000 troops will be handed over to you."

"Hey, my minister obeys the order"

Guo Jia sighed, looking very helpless.

Jian'an 13th year, AD 208, autumn

Zhang Lan led an expedition in person and led [-] troops to Tongguan to save Chang'an.

After Sun Quan heard the news, he left some troops and Hefei to prevent Zhou Yu's surprise attack, and then sent the army to Pengcheng to take Xuzhou in one go. Shouchun only left 5000 troops.

Jian'an 13th year, AD 208, winter

Cao Cao broke Yiyang, wanted to take Yongning, took Luoyang based on Yongning, and broke Zhang Lan's lair.

Liu Bei also broke through Hanoi and wanted to take Hulao Pass.

Shouchun
"Look, what is that in the sky?"

Both the soldiers and the common people looked up at the overwhelming 'black cloud' in the sky

Because they were too far away, they could only see countless UFOs coming towards Shouchun City.

"Quickly report to King Wu"

"Yes"

The general guarding the city looked at the unidentified flying 'creature' in the distance, and didn't know how to deal with it.

After Sun Quan heard the news, he came from the mansion and boarded the city wall, and the flying object was getting closer and closer.

"what is that?"

Sun Quan asked
"I don't know the end, it should be a giant bird"

"Have you seen it before?" Sun Quan asked again

"The last general has sent people to investigate, but has not received any news yet"

"report"

Between the words, the person who went to investigate came back.

"Tell me, what is that?" Sun Quan stared at the spy.

"Going back to the King of Wu, I don't know what subordinates are, but 3 people have crossed the river, and it is less than fifty miles away from Shouchun.

"what!"

Sun Quan turned pale with shock.

"Where did the 3 people come from, why didn't anyone find out?"

The guard also suddenly changed color and turned pale.

"The end will not be known"

"I don't know? Did it fall from the sky?"

Sun Quan was in a hurry, so many people came to Shouchun suddenly, but there was no news, how could he accept it.

But he really hit it off, the nearly [-] people really 'fall' from the sky.

Guo Jia secretly divided the troops into several groups and rushed to Shangcai in batches, and then ordered the food and grass to slow down, directly sending the army to Shouchun in a hot air balloon, only bringing part of the food and grass.

When they reached the Shouchun border, they put down the troops, adjusted their status and continued on their way, leaving only the air force to move forward and the infantry to slow down behind.

It was because the pawn got off the hot air balloon that the spies discovered it.

In fact, the specific number of people in this army is 6000, not less than [-].

Each hot air balloon can carry six people, plus seven days of food and grass.

Other resources are stored on the extra hot air balloons.

After departing from Shangcai, the hot air balloon has been flying at high altitude, so it has not been detected.

What this battle requires is a quick battle, or it can be said that the boat is overwhelmed.

If you can't win, it will be difficult to deal with the rest, because it will take some time for the follow-up food and grass to be delivered, and there are too many things that may happen during this period of time.

Moreover, the air force has no supplies and can only serve as infantry, and the preparations that have come so long have been in vain.

The speed of the hot air balloon was very fast, and it was close to Shouchun City in a short time. It was still a thousand meters away from the city, and the infantry was still fifteen miles away.

Although it is still difficult to see clearly at such a long distance, the experienced people under Sun Quan's command have already judged it through the outline.

"It's Zhang Lan's Air Force!"

There was an exclamation, and it boiled instantly.

They have also heard about this Air Force.

Also because of this, this army that only appeared on the battlefield once or twice is famous far and wide.

"Hurry up and get the utensils ready to put out the fire, and keep an eye on the food and grass"

Sun Quan was also in a hurry.

In his mind, this air force is just something that can set fire in the air and burn food and grass. The only lethality is to shoot arrows, but how many arrows can it shoot?And the number is so rare, as long as the soldiers are ordered to raise the shield above the head, or find a place to hide, it can be solved.

"Shields get ready, other soldiers look for cover"
