Ran Min waved his hand to let the spy go down, turned to look at Xie Hui, and asked, "What does Mr. Xie think?" Will Yuan Shu really send so many soldiers and horses? ”

"General, if what the spies said is really true, I'm afraid that the situation in Shouchun has changed, and there will be mistakes in the speculation of the military advisor. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xie Hui replied cautiously.

"Mr. Xie's meaning, if Shouchun really sends so many reinforcements, how should we deal with it?" Ran Min continued to ask.

Xie Hui bowed his head to Ran Min and saluted: "General, if the Yuan army really has 100,000 people, my subordinates think that our army can only retreat immediately, inform the lord of the situation here, and then cooperate with the military division to discuss countermeasures, this is the best policy!" Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable! ”

After hearing this, Ran Min was silent, looking into the distance with a solemn face, Xie Hui was very anxious on the side, and urged again: "Please make a decision as soon as possible, fifty miles away, the enemy army will soon arrive at Quting Mountain, and if you want to evacuate then, I am afraid it will be difficult." ”

Ran Min walked up to Xie Hui, grinned at him, and then suddenly shouted loudly outside the tent, "Someone! ”

Two guards immediately walked in from outside the tent, saluted Ran Min and responded: "The subordinates are here, please give orders to the general!" ”

"Prepare the carriage and send Mr. Xie back to Fuling!"

When Xie Hui heard this, his face changed greatly, and he said to Ran Min: "What does the general want?" Could it be that you want to use 5,000 people to resist the enemy's 100,000 army? This is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg and putting yourself in danger! Please think twice! ”

Ran Min waved his hand, his tone was full of affirmation, he looked outside the tent, turned his back to Xie Hui and said, "Mr. Xie doesn't have to say anything!" I have thought clearly, the lord entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, to guard here, resist Yuan Shu's reinforcements, only so that Yuan Shu's reinforcements can not meet with the army in Quanjiao City, the lord can take Quanjiao City. Once the whole pepper is taken, the lord can rely on Fuling to attack Hefei. If Hefei is taken, then Guo Dudu can attack Dingyuan from Dongcheng and enter Huainan, and the lord can enter Chengde from Hefei. At that time. The two armies attacked Shouchun together, and the day of Yuan Shu's destruction was not far away. Now at this critical moment, if I evacuate this place, this time the attack on Yuan will be a failure, so when will the hegemony of the lord be achieved? What the spies said is also about the same, and it is impossible to do it accurately. Besides, although there are many enemy soldiers and horses, and the roads here are narrow, but they can't pass too many people and horses at the same time, as long as we wait to guard this pass, no matter how many horses there are, we can't pass a single soldier! ”

Xie Hui sighed and said, "Since the general insists on doing so, then his subordinates must also fight side by side with the general here!" ”

When Ran Min heard this, he couldn't help but be moved, his eyes were full of gratitude, "Mr. Xie! Thank you for not giving up, Min is grateful in his heart, please accept Ran Min's worship! ”

Xie Hui hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Ran Min, "Why should General Ran be like this!" The general resisted the enemy's 100,000 army with 5,000 people, which is rare in ancient times, such a heroic act, Xie can have the honor to witness it in person, and he has no regrets in this life! ”

Ran Min immediately went out of the tent, ordered all the men and horses, and waited for the arrival of Yuan Jun outside the pass trap.

Zhang Xun's 90,000-strong army marched all the way, and he ordered Liu Pi, who was transferred back from Runan, to be the vanguard, leading an army of 10,000 to open the way in front, while he and Ji Ling led the army behind. Not long after, the 10,000 army led by Liu Pi had arrived at Quting Mountain, and then he suddenly thought of Zhang Xun's instructions before leaving: If you encounter an enemy ambush, retreat quickly, and don't fall in love with battle.

Although Liu Bi verbally agreed to Zhang Xun, he had his own thoughts in his heart: Wu Liren had a total of 30,000 troops, on the one hand, there was a siege of Quanjiao, and a defense of Fuling, and even Danyang County, which had just been occupied, where could he still draw out men and horses to ambush. Even if there are a few thousand people, even if your 10,000 army is ambushed, you can compete with the enemy; When the time comes, when Zhang Xun's army arrives, the situation will be reversed immediately.

Seeing that the terrain of Quting Mountain was not very steep, but the mountain road ahead was a little narrow, Liu Pi ordered a small team of several hundred people to explore the road in front of the army under the leadership of a captain. Not long after leaving, the team of Yuan Jun broke into the trap set by Ran Min in advance, and for a while, people turned on their backs, screaming again and again.

Liu Bi sneered, "Carving insect skills!" It's so whimsical to want to stop my army with this little trap! ”

Ran Min didn't prepare too much for the trap, and after Liu Pi noticed it, he carefully tried to find all the traps, and finally passed the broken mountain road with very few casualties. At this time, Liu Pi was in a good mood and said with a smile: "I knew that Wu Ming had no time to divide his troops at all, and I knew that as soon as my army came, all of them retreated." ”

At this moment, suddenly the shouts of killing on both sides of Quting Mountain suddenly rose, and the fire arrows flew towards the Liu Pi vanguard army that was passing like poisonous snakes spitting snake letters, and the lit straw balls rolled towards the panicked Yuan army on the mountain road. Liu Piqing knew that he had been ambushed, so he had to quickly stabilize the morale of the army and shouted loudly: "Don't panic!" The enemy has few soldiers and horses, hold your ground and don't panic! ”

Although Liu Pi tried his best to stabilize the chaotic army, people's fear of the unknown could not be overcome. Coupled with the intensifying fire at the foot of the mountain, it didn't take long for Liu Pi's army to begin to flee in all directions. Ran Min immediately ordered all the 5,000 elites under his command to mount their horses and chase down Yuan's soldiers everywhere.

Liu Bi sighed, knowing that the general trend was gone, so he had to pack up the remnants and go back to tell Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun looked at Liu Pi's 10,000 army with only three or four thousand people left at this time, and asked with a gloomy face: "How many people are in ambush in the enemy army?" ”

Liu Pi thought to himself that if he reported truthfully, he would inevitably be punished, so he thought about it and replied: "There are ambushes on both sides of Quting Mountain, and I don't just have a specific number, about 10,000 people. ”

"Now that I am employing people, I will not punish you, you step down, take a good rest, he will fight hard one day to make up for today's crimes!."

After Liu Pilian claimed to have retreated, Zhang Xun looked at Ji Ling and asked, "What is General Ji's good plan?" ”

"According to Liu Pi's words, the enemy army does not have too many men, it must be less than 10,000 people, but the enemy occupies the dangerous pass of the mountain road, although our army is numerous. But there is no place for it. ”

After speaking, Ji Ling sighed, but Zhang Xun smiled, "Why does General Ji want to destroy his prestige with other people's morale?" Even if the enemy army occupies the main road, as long as our army is like this, no matter how elite the enemy army is and how brave the enemy generals, it can take advantage of the numerical advantage and destroy the enemy army with one drum. ”

After speaking, Zhang Xun whispered a few words in Ji Ling's ear, and after Ji Ling heard it, he nodded, "If so, this whole pepper is expected to be saved!" Ji Ling for the two clan brothers and the tens of thousands of troops in Quanjiao City, thank you, Da Sima! ”

"They are all for His Majesty, why should General Ji be like this! This battle still requires the general to work hard, and we will kill the enemy army by surprise! ”

Although Ran Min led his troops to kill Zhang Xun's vanguard Liu Pi in a battle, he knew that this did not hurt Zhang Xun's army at all, and there would be more brutal battles waiting for him later.

In the dead of night, the autumn night was already a little cool, and there were still two figures flickering in Ran Min's big tent.

"Mr. Xie, in your opinion, when will the enemy army return?"

Ran Min lowered his head and picked up the fire, and suddenly asked.

"In order to rescue Quanjiao, the enemy army will definitely break through our army's defense line as soon as possible at all costs, so if I am the enemy's commander, I will definitely divide the army into many teams and attack without stopping every day, so that in less than two days, our army will definitely collapse without a fight."
