Chapter 699: Counting and Earning Cold Buds

Outside Dianjiang City, the Guanzhong Army obviously had the upper hand, and the soldiers and horses led by the generals of the Yizhou Army were killed and retreated.

A general wiped the blood from his face, came to the general and pleaded: "General, let's order the withdrawal of troops!" If we continue like this, we will all die here! ”

Looking at the brave Guanzhong Army, the general of the Yizhou Army gritted his teeth and prepared to lead the troops to retreat.

At this moment, a 500-strong Yizhou army rushed in, causing confusion in the Guanzhong army.

Yan Pu was taken aback when he saw the Yizhou army that suddenly came to him, and he was about to divide a part of his forces to intercept it, but suddenly, his eyes shrank.

"The thief army is attacking before and after, we should retreat quickly and Mingjin withdraw the troops!"

General Guanzhong admonished: "The thief army only has five hundred more reinforcements, even if the front and rear attack can help me?" Please don't give the order to collect the troops! ”

Yan Pu's face turned pale, and he shouted: "Collect the troops, collect the troops now!" ”

Although General Guanzhong was indignant in his heart, he also knew that Yan Pu's official position was greater than him, so he had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat.

The general of the Yizhou army was already preparing to lead the army to continue to escape, but after seeing a group of men and horses descending from the sky like divine soldiers and killing the Guanzhong army, he was immediately overjoyed and shouted at the soldiers to go forward again to cover the killing.

The Yizhou army chased and killed for a while, and only then did it converge with the 500-strong army and horses, and the general at the head said: "General Leng Bao is not at ease to go down the river, so I let me lead 500 people over." ”

"But I didn't want to, I happened to meet the general who was fighting with the Guanzhong soldiers here."

The general of the Yizhou army said gratefully: "If it weren't for Your Excellency's timely assistance, I'm afraid I could only lead the remnants of the army to defeat and flee in embarrassment." ”

"It's hateful that the guard of the pad river is as timid as a mouse, and he refuses to go out of the city to save him!"

It turned out that this partial general was the deputy general Liu Bi, after Liu Bi was killed, he led the army to retreat, but Yan Pu took advantage of the situation to kill him out of the city and chased him all the way to the outside of Dianjiang City.

The partial general was worried that when he entered the city, the Guanzhong army would follow into the city, so he led the remnants of the defeated army to return to fight with the Guanzhong army, but he never won.

The Dianjiang guards were afraid of the Guanzhong army, and they didn't dare to go out of the city to rescue, but just closed the city gate.

Seeing that there was no hope of victory, this partial general simply prepared to take the remnants of the defeated army and fled directly around the Dianjiang River in the direction of Langzhong, but was rescued by a group of men and horses who suddenly came out.

The general who came to help said: "Don't be angry, general, wait for me to enter the city first, and then deal with the guard!" ”

The partial general nodded vigorously, and regrouped his troops and horses and ran towards Dianjiang, but he happened to meet the Dianjiang guard halfway.

It turned out that the Dianjiang garrison saw that the Guanzhong army was defeated, so he was emboldened and led the troops out of the city to seize the credit.

The partial general saw that this person was even more angry at this time, so he stepped forward to argue with him, although the Dianjiang guard was afraid of the Guanzhong army, but he was not afraid of the Yizhou general, and the two almost fought on the spot.

Fortunately, they still had some sense, and finally they all led the troops into the city in a huff.

That night, there were sudden shouts of killing in the city, and the Dianjiang guard was shocked in his heart, and secretly thought: "Could it be that the guy saw that I didn't go out of the city to save me, and wanted to come and kill me at night?" ”

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he summoned his men and horses to kill the Yizhou generals.

However, it was said that after the Yizhou general heard the shouting of killing, he was also worried that the Dianjiang guard wanted to kill him, so he gathered the soldiers and horses together, but he happened to meet the Dianjiang guard who led the troops.

The two did not have the slightest explanation when they met, and immediately waved their troops to kill each other.

Just when they were inseparable, a group of men and horses suddenly came from another direction, and the general at the head was Xu Huang.

General Yizhou looked at Xu Huang's armor, and suddenly shouted: "Aren't you the general who saved me during the day, why did you wear the armor of the Guanzhong Army!" ”

Yan Pu lined up the crowd and stepped forward and said, "This person is the commander of our army, Xu Gongming, how can he be the general of Yizhou?" ”

It was only at this time that the Dianjiang guard and the Yizhou general came back to their senses and knew that they had fallen for Xu Huang's strategy. The five hundred soldiers wearing the armor of the Yizhou Army during the day were simply the Guanzhong Army pretending.

It's just that because there is a conflict between the two and they only care about resenting each other, they don't think about it a lot, so Xu Huang easily blends into the city.

Xu Huang already knew the outcome of the battle in Bajun at this time, and he was very upset in his heart, and he didn't want to say anything else at all.

He brandished the big axe in his hand and shouted, "Kill! ”

A massacre without suspense was staged in the city of Dianjiang.

……

In Langzhong City, Leng Bao looked at the battle report in his hand and felt trembling: "Liu Huang died in Jiangzhou when he cheated the city, Xu Huang returned to Ba County and recaptured Dianjiang!" ”

Leng Bao and Liu Bi have been colleagues for many years, and they are like brothers, just like Zhao Huang and Tang Chen. Suddenly hearing the news of Liu Bi's death, the anger in Leng Bao's heart couldn't be concealed no matter what.

Even, he wants to raise a large army now and kill Dianjiang to avenge Liu Bi.

But after remembering Zhang Ren's order that he should be stationed in Langzhong and not allowed to go out of the city to fight at will, Leng Bao took a few deep breaths and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

His hands were clenched into fists, his nails cut through his palms, and blood slowly flowed out.

Leng Bud muttered with red eyes: "Brother, one day, I will definitely avenge you!" ”

Since learning the news of Xu Huang's return and Liu Huang's death, Leng Bao has asked people to strengthen the city wall every day, and has sent scouts to investigate Xu Huang's movements.

On this day, a scout came to report to Leng Bao: "General, after the Guanzhong army lost Langzhong, the grain and grass in Dianjiang and Jiangzhou have been insufficient. Xu Huang also strictly forbade the soldiers of Guan to rob the people, and now the soldiers of Guan Zhong have complained. ”

When Leng Bao heard this, he said in disbelief: "It's understandable that the Guanzhong army is short of food, but Xu Huang is a famous general in Guanzhong, how can he make his corporal complain?" ”

"There must be fraud in this matter, find out again!"

In the following days, scouts kept coming to report that the Guanzhong army had been discouraged because of the lack of food, and a large number of deserters had occurred.

Although Leng Bud still felt unbelievable, she already believed it a little in her heart.

When Leng Bao sent people to arrest some Guanzhong deserters, and when he saw that they were yellow and thin, and he was indignant about Xu Huang, he completely believed that the Guanzhong army had reached the point of exhaustion.

Leng Bud secretly thought in his heart: "If the food and grass of the Guanzhong army are sufficient, I am still afraid of Xu Huang, but today, how much combat power can the Guanzhong army leave?" It should also be Xu Huang's death here! ”

Although he had the intention of sending troops to attack Xu Huang, Leng Bud had always been calm and continued to endure it for a few days.

On this day, another scout came to report: "The general, Zhao Yun, the general of Guanzhong, has led 5,000 cavalry to arrive in Hanchang County and join Liu Pi's rout!" ”

Leng Bao was shocked when he heard this, and shouted in a lost voice: "The Guanzhong army actually came so quickly!" ”

As soon as he finished exclaiming, another scout came to report: "General, Jiangzhou and Dianjiang have become empty cities, and the Guanzhong army in the city is nowhere to be found!" ”

Leng Bud asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Or Leng Bao said: "Could it be that Xu Huang knew that if he continued to defend the city because there was no food in the city, the soldiers would scatter sooner or later, so he quietly led the Guanzhong soldiers to retreat?" ”

Leng Bao's body was shocked, and he shouted: "If it weren't for your words to remind you, I would really let Xu Huang's guy sneak away!" ”

He walked back and forth in the room a few times, and suddenly a fierce color flashed in his eyes, and shouted: "Guangpai scout, you must detect Xu Huang's movements!" ”

"Especially those remote paths, you must scout carefully!"

Since it has been affirmed that the Guanzhong Army is short of food, Leng Bao is absolutely unwilling to give up, this golden opportunity to kill Xu Huang.

After a long time, a scout reported: "General, the villain found the bodies of two sergeants in a mountain road, all of them were yellow and thin, and it seemed that they had not eaten for many days, and then they were starved to death." ”

"The villain remembered the general's words, so he quietly went to reconnoiter along that path, and really saw many faltering Guanzhong troops!"

Leng Bao was overjoyed, and immediately drank: "Take me quickly, if you can kill Xu Huang, you will be the first to do this battle!" ”

……

Inside the mountain road, Xu Huang asked Yan Pu with some concern: "Sir, how much grain and grass is left in our army now?" ”

Yan Pu looked embarrassed and said: "There is not much grain and grass left in the army, if we can't lure Leng Bud out of the city this time, our army can really only withdraw to the north." ”

Speaking of this, Yan Pu was a little speechless, his face changed for a while, and he finally gritted his teeth and said: "The general is desperate to abandon Jiangzhou and Dianjiang, if Leng Bao is not lured out of the city, what should he do?" ”

Xu Huang also had a worried look on his face, and said: "Langzhong City is broken, and the grain and grass are all obtained by the Yizhou army, even if the lord leads the army into Shu County, he will definitely worry about the grain and grass." “

"What's more, Gong Du and Jiang Xiaode died in battle, and Sergeant Guan also suffered countless casualties, and it was my fault to suffer such a big defeat."

"If I can't seize Langzhong, I should kill myself here, and I will never have the face to go back to meet the lord again?"

Yan Pu also blamed himself and said: "This matter is not the general's fault, in fact, the general can rob the people around Jiangzhou and Dianjiang, and obtain grain and grass to support the lord when he comes." ”

"With these two important cities in hand, even if the lord is held accountable, the general can still take the credit."

Xu Huang shook his head slightly, and said: "The lord strictly prohibits the plundering of the people, and those who dare to disobey the military order will not be spared." As a general in Guanzhong, how can I break the lord's decree! ”

Just when the two were discussing with their frowns, a scout suddenly came to report: "General, Leng Bao really led the troops out of the city and came to chase and kill us!" ”

Hearing the news, Xu Huang, who had lost a lot of weight, suddenly emitted a bright light in his eyes.

However, it was said that Leng Bao led the army under the leadership of the scouts to chase and kill Xu Huang, and saw many flags thrown on the ground along the way, and his heart became more and more happy.

He secretly thought: "Xu Huang is extremely strict in governing the army, if it weren't for the real shortage of food in the army, the morale of the soldiers would be completely lost, and he would definitely not drop the banner!" ”

Thinking of this, Leng Bud no longer had a trace of doubt in his heart, urging the army to hurry forward.
