Chapter 732: Day 3
The moonlight looks like white ivory jade, which looks pure and charming, and if there are literati here, they will surely be prosperous.
However, this road was covered with corpses, and the bright red blood looked so dazzling in the moonlight.
After fighting for half a night, the night slowly calmed down again, Xu Xian led the army under his command back to the camp, and the earth-shattering cheers were endless.
"It's a pity, if we wait for more soldiers and horses this time, maybe we can completely defeat this Yuan army."
A general of the merged state showed a look of regret on his face while he was excited.
Although he won a game tonight, he did not completely defeat Yuan's army after all, and even the beheaded enemy army was only more than a thousand people.
Many generals in the state blamed this on the fact that their own troops were too small.
Xu Xian's body was no longer in serious trouble at this time, and when he heard the words of the general of the state, he immediately shook his head and said, "Fighting on a road that is not wide at night, we already have an advantage. ”
"Even if there are more troops, it may not be able to completely spread out the formation."
In fact, it was precisely because everyone was crowded together that even if Yuan Jun later came with a large group of soldiers and horses, Xu Xian was still not afraid and calmly commanded the soldiers to kill Yuan Jun.
Because the battle line was too open, and the battle was fought at night, Xu Xian was not worried about exposing the reality of his own forces.
Through this battle, Xu Xian has established his prestige in the army, and no matter how much these generals looked down on Xu Xian before, they all lowered their heads at this time.
It's not that they are condescending, but the generals and soldiers in the army, who originally respect the strong, and Xu Xian showed his posture as a strong man by defeating Gao Lan.
Therefore, when the generals heard Xu Xian's words, they immediately nodded hurriedly, and no one spoke against him.
"Poof!"
At this moment, the general of the state who insisted on going to rob the camp and was almost killed by Gao Ran knelt heavily in front of Xu Xian, his face full of guilt.
"The last general disobeyed the general and insisted on sending troops to rob the camp, almost exposing the reality in the army, and asked the general to punish him!"
With that, he unsheathed the sword at his waist, held it in both hands, and reluctantly put it on the ground.
Seeing this, the faces of the other generals couldn't help but change slightly.
The saber is the life of every general, and the general of this state puts it on the ground, which shows that he will never say a word about decapitation.
The generals opened their mouths to persuade them, but they remembered the military order that this person had made before leaving, but they couldn't open their mouths anyway.
The military order is not a joke, and if it is not completed, it will definitely be dealt with by military law, this is military regulations!
Therefore, even if the generals did not want this general to be dealt with by military law, no one dared to intercede for him.
If it is ordinary, even if this person loses the battle, all the generals dare to intercede for him, but they can't issue military orders independently.
It's not that they're timid, it's not that they're unapproachable, it's because they know the military rules. Military discipline.
If everyone treats the military writ as child's play, how can the military decree circulate smoothly in the future?
Xu Xian looked at the general who put his sword on the ground and was willing to accept the disposal with his face on the ground, let out a long sigh of relief, and then pulled it up.
"The reason why you were asked to make a military order at the beginning was not to really want you to succeed in robbing the camp, but to provoke you to lure Yuan Jun over."
"Actually, I had expected that Yuan Jun would chase after me, so I led the soldiers to set up an ambush early."
"It can be said that you can break the Yuan army today and injure the famous Hebei general Gao Lan, you are indispensable."
Speaking of this, all the generals understood what Xu Xian meant, and instead of being ready to investigate the general's crimes, he deliberately exonerated him.
Although this method of exculpation is full of loopholes, for example: even if the general of Jina went to lure Yuan Jun, this person failed to complete the task, and in the end he needed the army to come to the rescue.
In this way, the statement that this person has no merit is completely nonsense.
However, among the generals of the state, none of them would point out the loopholes, but they all echoed it.
"But, but ......"
Fortunately, this general still has some backbone, knows that he has made a mistake, and he doesn't want to be covered.
He was about to confess his crime, but was rudely interrupted by Xu Xian.
"Although the spirit of Yuan's army has been dampened tonight, the enemy army is still several times larger than mine, and the slightest carelessness will be doomed."
"You and the others are all generals in the state, so naturally you have to be cautious."
Xu Xian's kung fu to change the topic is also practiced to perfection, and it does not seem abrupt at all.
All the generals are battle-hardened, so naturally they will not be carried away by this small victory, and they all nodded yes.
Seeing the actions of the generals, Xu Xian's face suddenly sank while he was pleased, and he shouted: "Although I have never led an army to fight before, after all, I am the commander appointed by the envoy. ”
"I hope that from now on, you can regard me as the real coach, and if you dare to have someone who violates the yang and the yin, you will not be spared!"
Speaking of this, Xu Xian pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand and glanced at everyone coldly, with a slight oppression in his eyes.
When the generals heard this, their hearts sank, and then they all agreed with a bang.
Feeling everyone's sincere promise, Xu Xian breathed a long sigh of relief.
Controlling the subordinates is nothing more than a combination of grace and power, although Xu Xian has just forgiven the crimes of the general, it is also necessary to show his majesty as the commander-in-chief.
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
However, it was said that Gao Ran thought that Zhao Yun led the army to attack Changshan, so he led 15,000 men and horses to pursue, leaving only 5,000 soldiers in the camp.
Chen Gong saw that Gao Ran really hit the plan, and immediately overjoyed, leaving 2,000 people to garrison Jinyang, and led the troops to seize the village.
The army rolls around, the leaves dance in the wind, the flags cover the sky, and the dust sweeps the sky.
When there was still some distance from Yuan's army camp, Chen Gong secretly thought: "Gao Ran is not a mediocre talent, even if he leads his troops to leave here, he will definitely repeatedly tell the generals who defend the village not to fight easily." ”
"If we storm the camp of the Yuan army, even if our army is twice as large as the Yuan army, they occupy a narrow road, and they have a camp as a protection, I am afraid it will be difficult to overcome it in a hurry."
"Yanmen County is in danger, and it must not be delayed here for a long time."
Chen Gong was riding on a war horse and meditating, when he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and saw a messenger running over with a happy face.
"Good news! Good news! Good news! ”
Far away from the Chen Palace, he heard the messenger's cheers, and he hurriedly reined in his war horse and shouted, "Where is the good news? ”
In the blink of an eye, the messenger rode over and said to Chen Gong: "Last night, General Xu Xian seriously injured Gao Lan, the commander of the Yuan army, in two moves, and then led his corporal to behead more than a thousand!" ”
Chen Gong was taken aback when he heard this, and said in disbelief: "Gao Ran is a famous general in Hebei, and he is also an extraordinary brave and martial artist, although Bird has good martial arts, it is impossible to seriously injure Gao Ran in two moves!" ”
This matter is too unbelievable, and it is no wonder that Chen Gong can't believe it.
But no, the messenger's face was full of excitement and fanaticism.
He exclaimed, "It's true, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it!" ”
"General Xu fought Gao Ran head-on, and he was seriously injured and dismounted in two moves, if it wasn't for the rest of the Yuan army to come to the rescue, Gao Ran would have been killed by General Xu long ago!"
Chen Gong was even more shocked when he heard this, in his opinion, even if Xu Xian really seriously injured Gao Ran in two moves, it must be because of the sneak attack.
I didn't think that Xu Xian would fight Gao Ran head-on.
However, Chen Gong also knew that Xu Xian was not the kind of person who was happy and lied about the military situation, so he asked the messenger for detailed information.
After learning the ins and outs of the matter, Chen Gong still felt a little incredulous.
However, the facts were in front of him, and he didn't say anything more.
After pondering for a long time, Chen Gong's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his face slowly showed joy, and he said secretly: "In this case, break through the Yuan army camp and Yi'er!" ”
The weather in Taiyuan was not good in the past two days, the sun was hidden in the clouds, and the wind was blowing stronger and stronger. Fortunately, the sky was just gloomy, but it didn't rain.
In the Yuan army camp, the main general of the village has been reluctant to give up for the past few days, and he feels a lot of pressure.
The heavily armed general of the Yuan army, after coming to the gate of the camp, looked into the distance and muttered to himself: "In the past, I only heard that Changshan Zhao Zilong was the champion of the three armies, but I didn't want that even General Gao Ran was not his enemy. ”
"Since Zhao Yun is in the merger state, the number of troops in the merger state now is definitely not the number that was detected before."
In fact, when Chen Gong led the army to arrive, the camp guards always felt terrified when they looked at the banners that spread all over the mountains and could not see the edges.
So many flags, at least 30,000 people!
After a pause, he turned his head to the cronies beside him and said, "General Gao Ran, there is no news yet?" ”
The cronies said with a somewhat ugly face: "Since Chen Gong led the army to block the road ahead, we have lost contact with General Gao Ran. ”
"As a result, there hasn't been any news at all these days."
The camp guard said with some concern: "It's the third day now, as long as we don't surrender yet, Chen Gong will let the Bingzhou army storm the camp." ”
"Although the camp is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it can't be held at all in the face of the onslaught of the 30,000 Bingzhou army."
"The most important thing is that General Gao Ran brought a lot of grain and grass before leaving, and the road ahead has been blocked by the enemy, and the grain and grass in the camp can't be supported for a long time."
Although the generals of the Yuan army were worried about the lack of food and grass on the surface, they were actually a little afraid of the soldiers of the Bingzhou army.
Bingzhou is the place where Chen Xu raised his troops, the people are fierce, and the soldiers are elite.
The generals of the Yuan army were not confident at all that they could withstand the attack of the 30,000 Guanzhong army.
The most important thing is that when Yuan Jun learned the news of Gao Ran's defeat, they were a little wavering, and it was even more difficult to hold the camp in this situation.
After Chen Gong led the troops over, he gave the generals of the Yuan army three days to think, if he still refused to surrender at that time, the state army would storm the camp at any cost.
And today, the last day of three days.
