General Qu Zhou is still struggling in Dongcheng, looking forward to being able to block the Qingzhou army so that it can be delayed until Gao Ran's arrival. As for Gao Ran, whether he won or lost, he didn't think about it.

It's a pity that this plan came to naught. Under the leadership of the surrendered army, Samoa soon arrived at the place where the grain and grass were stored. After cutting down the Yuan army guarding the granary to the ground, Sha Mo gave an order, and countless barbarian soldiers poured in, and after a while, thick smoke and flames were billowing here.

At this time, it was the season when the weather was dry and dry, and the flames spread rapidly, and when the tongue of fire licked, it spread in all directions. The fire broke out in the city, and it was the granary that was burning, and the general Qu Zhou knew the bad news after a while. He glanced behind him, and suddenly his whole body strength disappeared, and the whole person lost his energy. With such a fire, it's useless to save it. The Qingzhou army can be said to have achieved its goal here, they will no longer attack the city, and they can retreat safely. As for himself, if he loses the granary, he is defending the city, and he is afraid that he will inevitably die.

When Wei Yan saw the fire in the city, he knew that Sha Mo had already succeeded, and he couldn't help but lift his spirits and was overjoyed, so he said to the left and right: "The fire in the city is rising, General Sha must have burned the granary, and we have succeeded!" ”

Just as he was about to order the withdrawal of the army, he suddenly saw that the morale of the Yuan army at the head of the city had dissipated sharply, Wei Yan's heart couldn't help but move, so he ordered: "Attack again, if you can't pull out, withdraw the army!" ”

With a wave of the order flag left and right, the drums were like thunder, and the Qingzhou army shouted and rushed forward again, but this time, it was completely different. They rushed to the top of the city, only to find that the defenders had little to no defense. The Qingzhou army didn't care about the reason, and under the great joy, they rushed to kill again and again, and immediately drove the enemy army down. After the city gate was opened, Wei Yan led his troops to rush in, grabbed the surrendered army and asked, but found that the general who was guarding the city suddenly disappeared. Wei Yan then ordered the three armies to enter the city, pacify the chaos and calm the people, and hunt down the remnants of the resistance.

After a while, Sha Mo led the army forward, beaming with joy all the way, and when he saw Wei Yan, he laughed and greeted him: "Wen Chang! "Shamo is an old qualification in the Qingzhou Army, and he has frequent contacts with Guan, Zhang, Huang, Liu, and Yan on weekdays. After this battle, he admired Wei Yan very much in his heart. He has been nurtured by Liu Bei's side for many years, and he knows that fighting a war is not enough to have bravery, but also to have a strategy, and he will seize the fighter. In his opinion, in this battle, Wei Yan first divided his troops to confuse the enemy, and then led his troops to storm the eastern city of Quzhou, attracting the strength of the defenders of the whole city, and then creating an opportunity for him to attack the western city in one fell swoop. This performance is remarkable, but it is much better than him. The barbarian has always admired good men, and he thinks that Wei Yan will rise in the future. Seeing Wei Yan at this time, it was naturally a little more cordial.

Wei Yan and Shamo soldiers joined forces, each described their feelings after parting, and then said: "Although the city is broken, the defenders of this city have fled from the battle, and now they don't know where to hide. ”

Sha Mo thought to himself, this is not good, this person must be found, otherwise it will be troublesome to secretly stumble on his own army? So he patted his chest and said to Wei Yan: "Wen Chang, this matter will be handed over to Lao Sha to handle." The brave man will be found. ”

Wei Yan had no choice, so Sha Mo led his subordinates, and under the guidance of the military marquis, he searched all the important places in the city, but finally arrested the guard on the edge of the west city.

But the guard went to his armor at this time, and pretended to be a commoner. But now that there is chaos in the city, which of the people dares to go out and walk, isn't it looking for death? Sha Mo grabbed the guard's chest, laughed cruelly, and said, "Where do you want to go?" ”

Seeing that he couldn't get out, the guard couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and immediately bowed: "The young general is willing to surrender." ”

With this general, everything in the city was immediately smooth. Wei Yan fought for a day and was about to rest, when suddenly a scout came to report: "General, there seems to be a group of soldiers and horses coming from the west of the city in the direction of Naye City." ”

Wei Yan asked, "How far is it from here?" ”

The scout replied, "About fifty miles." ”

Wei Yan groaned slightly, and then said to the general: "Do you know who is coming?" ”

The general secretly screamed bitterly in his heart, looking at how you didn't come early or late, but at this time. So he stubbornly said: "It's the general Gao Lan!" ”

Wei Yan asked the situation clearly, and learned that there were not many people in Gao Lan's department, and they were just carrying grain through here, rather than deliberately leading their troops to help, so he immediately had a plan, so he pulled Sha Mo aside and secretly discussed.

After hearing this, Shamo's eyes flashed, and he laughed and said, "Wen Chang, according to your plan, then Gao Ran is only afraid that he is robbing it!" But when he heard it, the general next to him was frightened.

After a while, I saw that in the sound of the military horn, the Qingzhou army was divided into three parts, one part shouted around the three cities, one part was acting in the east city, and the other part was led by Sha Mo himself to fight with the general in the city and his own people.

Suddenly, Gao Ran led the army to the vicinity of Quzhou City, and heard the sound of killing in the distance, so he immediately sent scouts to explore it. Gao Ran's heart was relieved, and he thought that it was good to come in time, if Qu Zhou was lost, the grain and grass were burned, and there was no need to fight the battle of the boundary bridge. Directly retreat from the army.

So Gao Ran cheered up and said to the left and right: "Rest for a while, and then follow me to rescue Qu Zhou!" "All the soldiers also knew that this battle was very important, and they couldn't help but seriously agree.

After resting, Gao Ran led his troops straight to the west gate, wanting to enter the city from there. The Qingzhou army under the West Gate City was "attacking the city", and suddenly saw an enemy army attacking behind them, and couldn't help but pause, and instantly retreated from the city wall, under the leadership of a captain, but walked around the city and went to the east city.

Gao Lan saw it, but his heart said that this was the place where the Qingzhou army feintmed, and he saw my reinforcements coming, knowing that he was invincible and leaving. I saw from afar that the defenders of the city saw the reinforcements coming, and the flags were flying, cheering, and a smile could not help blooming on their faces.

In the sound of horses' hooves, it was only a few feet away from the city wall. Suddenly, Gao Ran's eyes froze, the water gate was broken and blackened, and what was the matter with the black ash that could be seen everywhere on the ground and was still flying everywhere in the air?

In a flash of thought, Gao Ran reacted and won the plan! I'm afraid that this song Zhou City has been broken! So he immediately shouted: "Retreat!" Unfortunately, by the time he reacted, it was too late. Just as he was reining in his horse, there was a sudden sound of drums on the top of the city, and countless archers who were lying on the ground stood up at once, and the strings rang out, and a black cloud whistled towards the place where Gao Lan was. A few of the barbarian strongmen, armed with spears, looked at Gao Lan, and with a loud shout, the spears as thick as goose eggs tore through the air and stabbed fiercely at Gao Lan.
