Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1404 Pawn

  Passing through the bushes and sparse woodland, Gong Jun approached Gao Gan's camp on the hill with his men.

  The light in the camp shone from a distance, and the groves and bushes here seemed a bit dark. Located near the camp, there are actually secret whistles arranged by high-level officials in the woods, but for Gong Jun, these shallow secret whistles are as obvious as they are in front of him, and they will not be a big problem. Gong Jun, who is wearing a camouflage suit Jun led a few masters and slowly moved forward. Their figures were always hidden in the shadows, and no one could detect their silent passing through the forest and under the trees.

  The secret whistle of Gao Gan yawned, raised his spirits, and tried to open his eyes to look at the surrounding situation. But anyone who has stayed up late at night knows that the most fearful thing about staying up late is monotonous doing nothing. Looking at the same scenery for a long time, you will feel sleepy even during the day, let alone in the Han Dynasty when there was no magic tool for staying up late.

  Anshao struggled hard against the upper and lower eyelids, shaking his drowsy head, trying to save his remaining sanity from the edge of drowsiness, until a cold front penetrated from the neck...

  In the darkness, like a mountain mist blowing past, the branch where Yuan Jun's secret whistle was located shook a few times, and there seemed to be some changes in the rustling, but it seemed that there was no change at all, everything was still mysterious and quiet.

  The moonlight shone in the forest, no human figure could be seen, only the wind moved, and after a while, a figure climbed up on the ground, slightly tilted his head, "You are here, I will take someone up..."

   "Okay, be careful."

  The slight sound was mixed with the chirping of insects in the surrounding bushes and jungles, as if it was integrated with the mountain. Ling Jie led some people, on the one hand as a cover, on the other hand, guarding the back road. Then, the shadow on the ground squirmed and merged into the mountain again.

I don’t know if it’s because he did night raids when he was in battle for the first time, and he succeeded many times afterwards, which made Gong Jun like walking around at night. In the quiet and quiet night, it seems that there is a kind of world under his control. This feeling intoxicated Gong Jun.

  Under the moonlight and starlight, the shadows are mottled, and the surrounding fields are quiet.

  Gong Jun slowly stopped at the edge of Yuan Jun's camp, observing the situation in Yuan Jun's camp.

Gao Gan is an old opponent, but the previous encounters did not seem to make Gao Gan grow much. The camp that was hastily built during the day was not fully completed, and a lot of wood and waste were piled up around the camp. The soldiers on duty on the tower also seemed to be out of shape, with only their heads half-turned, as if they were sitting in the sentry tower and dozed off.

Gong Jun listened attentively, but he didn't find any special sound. After waiting, he quietly stretched out his hand and pointed to Yuan Jun's guard on the sentry tower. The two soldiers around him understood and untied the crossbow from their backs. Machine, slowly start to wind up, and then aim...

   "Boom boom!"

  The crossbow arrow drew a nearly straight line in the night sky, and fell into the half-drawn heads of the two guards on the sentry tower, raising some dark shadows.

  Gong Jun waved his hand, led his soldiers and rushed out from the hiding place, quickly reached the bottom of the camp, began to throw the noose or hook upwards, and climbed over the camp wall in an orderly manner.

  Ling Jie on the mountainside squinted his eyes, watching the black shadows moving on the wall of the camp, one after another, hopping over, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated a lot for some reason, and he felt a little uncomfortable...

  The night is silent.

  Mountain mist blows over the treetops, like falling leaves in torrential rain, making a clattering sound.

  Suddenly, the originally quiet camp was like hot porridge boiling suddenly, and the shouts accompanied by brilliance resounded through the entire mountain, illuminating half of the sky!

  The blood on Ling Jie's face faded, and he blurted out: "Not good!"

  Ling Jie followed Gong Jun, and even led troops alone in night raids many times, so he naturally understands what is a more normal reaction. The sudden burst of sound and light like now only represents one thing...

  Here is a trap!

  A trap specially aimed at Gong Jun, Ling Jie and others!

  The sound of boiling killing has already extended from the camp on the top of the mountain, and a fire dragon has also ignited under the mountain road. Countless lights and shadows are shaking, rushing out from between the trees, and coming here!

   Farther away, there seemed to be a little bit of fire, and a large number of Yuan Jun appeared in the mountains, attempting to encircle and encircle them.

  The team is spreading, the torches are chaotic, kill here!

   "Hurry up and rescue Captain Gong!" Ling Jie didn't care to hide his figure any more, and rushed out of the shadows first, running towards the top of the mountain with both hands and feet.

   At this time in the camp, Gong Jun has already used his martial arts under pressure, with a sword in one hand and a battle ax in the other. Among the swarming soldiers of Yuan Shao, it seems that there has been a **** storm!

Even though Gong Jun had exerted 10% of his combat power, Yuan Jun, who had been prepared for a long time, had already overwhelmed Gong Jun and the others in momentum. The target of hunting, this psychological gap, not everyone can reverse it in a short while, coupled with the absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, even though Gong Jun and others are fighting and retreating, they are still defeated. Forced to retreat, the area of ​​activity under his control is getting smaller and smaller.

   Gao Gan was under the heavy protection of the guards, laughing happily, repeatedly urging the soldiers to advance forward, waving his arms and shouting loudly: "Open the bow! Open the bow! Shoot them to death, shoot these stinky rats!"

   "General... there are still our soldiers ahead..." A guard beside the high-ranking officer reminded softly.

The battle lines are criss-crossed, especially under the extremely fierce Gong Jun's sword and axe, it is difficult to have any soldiers to contend with, which makes the entire array line not very clear. If you shoot arrows at this time, it is very likely that your own people will be covered go in.

  Gao Gan's eyes were as red as blood in the flames: "Shoot the arrows! Do you hear me! Shoot the arrows! Shoot them to death!"

  The guard was terrified in his heart, knowing that the high-ranking officer was thinking about the previous shame and hatred, so he didn't dare to say any more, so he quickly responded and turned around to pass the order...

   "Go to the wall of the village! Let the brothers come out!" Ling Jie shouted from outside the camp: "Move faster! The enemy army is coming up from the mountain!"

"Back! Get out!" Hearing the voice, Gong Jun knocked down a Yuan Jun, and then opened two long spears with a knife holder, and shouted loudly, "Meet Captain Ling quickly! Get out! !"

  However, at the most critical time, in the darkest night, the cold killing intent shrouded it!

   The rain of arrows whizzed down, shot down Yuan Jun who was in front of Gong Jun, and also shot Gong Jun in the thigh!

  Blood spurted out, Gong Jun grunted and fell to the ground with one knee.

   "Captain!"

   "The lieutenant was shot by an arrow!"

   Several nearby soldiers rushed forward, trying to protect Gong Jun, but the second wave of arrows rained down, nailing them to the ground.

"Ahhhhhh..." Gong Jun hit the arrow's tail with his battle axe, and the sharp arrow popped out from the other side with a puff. One side was pulled out, bringing out a huge canopy of flesh and blood!

   If you don’t pull it out, the arrow’s fangs will just keep pulling on the muscles, causing the leg muscles to convulse, making it difficult to move an inch.

  Another surviving soldier rushed over, took one of Gong Jun's arms, and staggered backward while holding it up.

  Blood is constantly spreading, and the breath of death is entangled in everyone, pulling the footsteps of Gong Jun and others, ready to harvest life at any time.

The wall that was once easy to climb turned out to be so insurmountable without the help of one side. Although Gong Jun struggled to climb up, his blood-stained hands were unable to use his strength smoothly. He failed twice after climbing , fell down...

"Get out! Get out!" Gong Jun was desperate, picked up the battle ax with one hand, stood up with all his strength, and rushed the soldiers around him, "I brought you in, and I will protect you out! Leave me alone, get out!"

  Among the light and shadow, Yuan Jun seemed to have spotted Gong Jun, howled, and charged towards here with a knife and gun in hand!

   "Ahhhhhh..."

  Gong Jun held the ax in one hand, advanced instead of retreating, and rushed towards Yuan Jun. Since he couldn't make it over, he could only kill a few more Yuan Jun, and fight for a chance of survival for his brother Lang!

  There is always a thin line between life and death.

  Gong Jun in the camp was slashing wildly with blood stains all over his body. He lost one of his swords and had a leg that couldn't work. He quickly had large and small wounds on his body, and blood, flesh and blood were thrown into the air...

Ling Jie, who was outside the camp, was lying on the gap between two thick tree trunks on the wall of the camp, watching Gong Jun fighting among Yuan Jun, howling, kicking, shouldering, prying, and pawing, Even the teeth are used, but in a short time, where will they be able to pry open the strong wall that is connected together and penetrates into the foundation...

  In the end, Ling Jie could only watch Gong Jun's figure helplessly, being overwhelmed by waves of Yuan Jun rushing up!

   "Ah ah ah..."

Ling Jie, who was pierced by rough wooden thorns, had blood all over his face and hands, but Ling Jie only felt a huge pain in his heart. Ling Jie didn't order to rush in with his remaining rationality. Breakout from the mountain!

  The fighting spread from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and then spread to the distance.

  Although Yuan Jun tried to bite Ling Jie’s remnants to death, Ling Jie and others relied on their familiarity with the terrain and fought and left. After paying a heavy price, they finally got rid of Yuan Jun’s pursuit and escaped...

  ………………

  Conquer the West Army Village.

   "Damn you!"

   Jia Qu angrily slapped on the table.

  In terms of understanding the deployment of Zhengxi General Fei potential Taiyuan Shangdang, Jia Qu is second to none at present, but the more he understands, the more he feels uncontrollable anger at Gong Jun Lingjie's failure!

"Since the situation has changed, why don't you report to me!" Jia Qu yelled angrily, "Advancing aggressively for meritorious service, losing troops and generals, disregarding the overall situation, and defeating the army! You still have face to this point! You wait for the important thing about the bad lord , it is not a pity to die!"

General Fei Qian's original plan was to let Gong Jun and Ling Jie delay Yuan Jun's progress, let Yuan Jun suffer setbacks in the Taihang Mountains, and then use the rainy season to increase Yuan Jun's difficulty in transporting grain and grass, so as to reverse the gap in the strength of the two armies. Combined with the battle on the two wings, an overall combat advantage has been established. However, the entire strategy has just begun. Gong Jun and Ling Jie, who were the important support in the early stage, ended up with one death and one defeat, which completely messed up the overall layout of General Fei Qian.

   What follows is not only a matter of readjustment, but may even have a series of bad effects!

Liu He came to Huguan a few days ago, and was negotiating with Fei Qian, the General of Zhengxi. If Liu He learned that the vanguard was defeated and the troops were lost, then Liu He's impression of Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi, would inevitably change. , and if it affects the delicate situation in Taiyuan, it will make Jia Qu's back break out in cold sweat!

  Jia Qu stared at Ling Jie, his gaze almost burst into flames.

  Ling Jie was covered in blood, prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and said in a sad voice: "This subordinate is convicted! This subordinate does not ask for forgiveness from the envoy, but only asks for a chance for revenge! Revenge for the dead brothers and sons!"

  Jia Qu closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, gritted his teeth and said, "Come on! Take it to the back camp first! Wait for your release!"

   "Wei!" The guards outside the big tent took orders, stepped forward, dragged Ling Jie up, and put him down.

  If it was based on personal emotions, Jia Qu would now like to show Ling Jie directly to the head of the owl, but from the perspective of the current situation, it is far more valuable to let Ling Jie take the crime and perform meritorious service than simply beheading.

   But now what next?

   Yuan Jun has now changed his strategy and set up camp on the top of the mountain. Apart from luring Gong Jun and Ling Jie, it actually has other functions.

  Here is a strategy of step by step, using upright soldiers to deal with the harassment of General Zhengxi.

  If Gong Jun and Ling Jie didn't fall for the trick, Yuan Jun would build and push forward one by one, and then use these forts to outline a safe grain transportation channel, relying on this to advance the entire army. Although it may take a lot of time in the early stage, it is undoubtedly an extremely sophisticated and safe solution.

what a pity…

If Gong Jun and Ling Jie had informed Jia Qu of this change earlier, even though they may not have been able to crack such a strategy, they could still delay Yuan Jun's implementation of "step by step" through harassment and sneak attacks, so that he would not be in a cottage. Destroyed!

If Yuan Jun pushes here one after another, he will definitely fall into a situation of fighting with Yuan Jun, and Yuan Jun's base is over there, even if General Zhengxi trades one for three, or even one for five, it counts. It's all a loss...

  Jizhou has a large population base. A loss of 580,000 is just a bit of a pain. In Bingzhou, if it loses 350,000, it is already hurt. Even if it wins in the end, it will be difficult to recover.

  So, the next step, what should we do to save this unfavorable situation?
