The Jin army camp was only less than three miles away from the west gate of Lanling City, so Li Ben and his three thousand men and horses had just killed out of the west gate, and the Jin army soldiers who were in charge of guarding immediately discovered this sudden situation and immediately beat the gong to warn.

The soldiers of the Jin army, who were resting in the big tent, were all taken aback when they heard the sound of warning, and they did not dare to be careless, so they immediately looked for clothes and armor, and prepared to dress up and go out to fight.

However, the distance of three miles is too short, and many Jin soldiers have not yet put on their clothes, and Li Ben and the three thousand beggars under his command have already been killed at the gate of the camp.

Because the Jin army came to attack the city, therefore, did not spend too much energy on the defense of the camp, the defense facilities on the periphery of the camp were very simple, only two circles of horses were arranged, such a rough arrangement, because they did not think that Li Ben in the city dared to lead the army out of the city to fight.

In this way, Li Ben and his 3,000 beggar troops easily entered the Jin army camp and launched an attack on part of the Jin army that had been hastily assembled.

The Jin army lacked preparation, and many soldiers had not yet put on their armor, so under the impact of Li Ben and his three thousand beggar troops, they were soon completely defeated, in order to escape for their lives, many soldiers had to flee in the direction of the south gate, after all, there were 20,000 main forces of Yin Hao in the direction of the south gate, and in order to escape faster, many soldiers threw away the weapons in their hands.

Yin Hao's henchmen and generals saw that the soldiers and horses under his command had dispersed, and they were frightened, and hurriedly led the guards and horses, followed the fleeing men and horses, and fled together in the direction of the south gate.

The 10,000 horses of the Jin army were defeated so easily, and Li Ben and the 3,000 soldiers under his command were all very excited, and had the idea of continuing the pursuit and expanding the results.

Li Ben naturally would not miss the opportunity to pursue the Jin army. So, he ordered loudly: "Soldiers, pursue with all your strength and kill ......" After saying that, he rode his horse and chased after the fleeing Jin army.

Lanling City is not a very large city, so when there is a large-scale battle in the direction of the West Gate. The soldiers of the Jin army in the direction of the south gate, east gate, and north gate can all hear the movement.

Wang Liu of the East Gate and Wang Wu of the North Gate did not understand what was happening, so in order to prevent the enemy from attacking, they immediately assembled their troops and sent scouts to the West Gate to inquire about the situation.

Yin Hao at the south gate, after hearing the shouting and killing in the direction of the west gate, was also taken aback, and immediately gathered his soldiers and horses. At the same time, scouts were sent in the direction of the West Gate.

After wearing his whole body, Yin Hao walked out of the tent of the Chinese army under the protection of the guards, and came to an open space in the camp, at this time, the 20,000 soldiers under his command were gradually assembling and ready to enter the battle at any time.

"General. Li Ben's soldiers and horses were only 5,000, and our army had 50,000 people. There's no need to worry. Seeing Yin Hao's brows frowning slightly, a general clenched his fists and persuaded.

When Yin Hao heard this, he said softly: "There are indeed not many soldiers and horses under Li Ben's command, but our army has not captured Lanling City for several days, which can be seen. The enemy's combat power should not be underestimated! ”

Obviously, Yin Hao was still quite afraid of the 5,000 beggar army under Li Ben's command, and felt very worried.

"Report, General. The big thing is not good, the army of our army stationed outside the West Gate has been completely dispersed, and now, the army of Li Ben's department is killing in the direction of the camp. At this moment, the scouts who had just been sent out rushed back with extremely unfavorable news.

Yin Hao and the generals beside him were all taken aback when they heard this, they couldn't believe that Li Ben, with thousands of men and horses, dared to take the initiative to attack, and he could easily defeat the 10,000 Jin troops outside the West Gate.

"General, look, Li Ben's soldiers and horses have been killed." One of the generals pointed to a large number of torches in the distance and said loudly.

When Yin Hao heard this, he looked up and looked west, and at a position about two miles away from the big camp, a group of soldiers and horses was galloping, and, in terms of numbers, the number was not less than 10,000 horses.

"General, the enemy army is overwhelmed, and there are at least more than 10,000 soldiers and horses." Soon, one of the generals also discovered the anomaly.

"General, could this be the arrival of enemy reinforcements?" Another general said in surprise.

Obviously, at this tense moment, Yin Hao and his generals did not expect that the more than 10,000 men and horses that were rushing over, most of them were the scattered men and horses of the Jin army, and the reason why they thought it was Li Ben's reinforcements was because the city where Zhou Cheng, Zhang Yu and others were stationed was only a few hundred miles away from Lanling City, and reinforcements could be brought over in a few days.

Just when Yin Hao and his subordinates were shocked, Wang Wu at the north gate and Wang Liu at the east gate both learned what happened at the west gate, and the two saw that Li Ben personally led the main force out of the city to fight, and comprehensively defeated the 10,000 Jin soldiers and horses outside the west gate, they thought that the enemy army in Lanling City must be insufficient, so they all took matters into their own hands and led their troops to attack Lanling City, intending to take advantage of the enemy's weak defense to break Lanling City in one fell swoop.

The soldiers and horses under the command of Wang Wu and Wang Liu, after simple preparations, immediately launched a fierce attack on Lanling City, but Li Ben's soldiers and horses left in the city were enough to have 2,000 soldiers, so it was enough to block the attack of Wang Wu and Wang Liu, and made it impossible for Wang Wu and Wang Liu to break through Lanling City.

Seeing the sound of fighting at the east gate and the north gate, Yin Hao and the generals beside him were all terrified, at this moment, they didn't know that Wang Wu and Wang Liu launched an attack on Lanling City, but thought that the soldiers and horses under Wang Wu and Wang Liu had been attacked.

"General, there are battles at the north gate and the east gate, with the five thousand men and horses under Li Ben's command, how can we attack our army's three-way army at the same time, it must be the enemy's reinforcements to kill." A general said guessingly.

"General, Zhang Yu, Zhou Cheng, Wei Tong and others have more than 10,000 troops, if one or two of them reinforce Li Ben, our army will have no chance of winning?" Another general said.

Obviously, the generals under Yin Hao's command all believed that it was Zhang Yu, Zhou Cheng, Wei Tong and others from the former Wei State who led the army to reinforce Li Ben, otherwise, with the thousands of men and horses under Li Ben, they could only defend the city to the death, and could not have such a great offensive ability.

Yin Hao's mood at this time was terrible, this time, he led the troops to attack Lanling City with the confidence of victory, but unexpectedly, he still suffered such a big defeat, which made him feel very helpless and sad, so defeated and returned, I was afraid that the position of Yangzhou Assassin would not be able to be saved, and even, he would be deposed as a waste.

"General, the enemy army has a large number of soldiers and horses, and it is necessary to attack our army's wings in three ways, but I am afraid that our army will be difficult to resist, so in order to prevent the loss of the main army, it is better to retreat quickly." A confidant general hurriedly said.

"Yes! General, the 10,000 troops outside the west gate have been defeated, and the large army outside the east gate and the north gate are estimated to not be able to support it for long, and the main force of our army should retreat immediately to avoid heavy losses. Another henchman said loudly.

Obviously, these generals are all greedy for life and afraid of death, they don't have much actual combat experience at all, and they don't like to fight, just for the future, they are just celebrities who are mixed around Yin Hao.

Yin Hao is a person with no military talent, at this moment, seeing that his henchmen and generals all think that they should evacuate immediately, they hurriedly ordered: "The whole army and horses should be evacuated immediately, quickly." After speaking, he hurriedly stepped on his horse, led the guards beside him, and fled due south.

Under Yin Hao's order, the 20,000 main forces of the South Gate Battalion immediately withdrew from the camp and fled quickly in the direction they came, for fear of being caught up by the enemy.

Li Ben and his 3,000 men and horses, all the way to chase the Jin army rout, and arrived in the direction of the south gate, at this moment, seeing Yin Hao and the 20,000 troops under his command, fled in a hurry, and was taken aback, after all, Yin Hao has a full 20,000 troops under his command, even if the combat power is not strong, he will not be afraid of the thousands of men and horses under his command.

"General, Yin Hao is really cowardly, our army just arrived at the south gate, and he fled, haha!" A beggar army general under Li Ben laughed loudly.

Li Ben nodded and said: "No wonder Yin Hao has been defeated repeatedly, he is a well-known defeated general of the Jin Kingdom, and he hasn't fought yet?" And he fled with a great army, a whole army of 20,000! After speaking, he showed a surprised expression.

"General, Yin Hao has led the army to flee, whether our army will pursue or not." A beggar army general asked.

"Don't chase him, let him go!" Li Ben shook his head, paused, looked in the direction of the east gate and the north gate, and said: "Wang Wu and Wang Liu are talents, knowing that the main force of our army went out of the city to fight, they took the opportunity to attack Lanling City, but they were still a little tender, and they would have led the main force out of the city to fight, how could they not prepare in the city." ”

"General, after all, there are not enough soldiers and horses in the city, our army can enter the city immediately and counterattack the Jin army from the city." A beggar army general shouted loudly.

Li Ben nodded, and said loudly: "Soldiers, enter the city from the south gate and drive the ......" After speaking, he rode his horse to the south gate.

Seeing that Li Ben and his soldiers and horses returned triumphantly, the subordinates of the south gate immediately opened the city gate and let Li Ben and his main force enter the city.

After entering the city, Li Ben personally led 3,000 main forces, immediately rushed to the direction of the east gate, and concentrated 3,000 men and horses to launch a fierce counterattack against the attacking Wang Sixth Army, so that the third attack of the Wang Sixth Army had to retreat in defeat.

Seeing that Li Ben's troops and horses defending the east gate suddenly increased greatly, Wang Liuda was taken aback, and at this moment, the news that Yin Hao led the main army had fled reached Wang Liu's army.

Wang Liu saw that Yin Hao had fled with the main army, and Li Ben and his main troops and horses had returned to Lanling City, and suddenly understood that Lanling City was impossible to capture, so he immediately led his army to retreat to the south, and sent his henchmen to tell Wang Wu at the north gate to let Wang Wu's army evacuate as much as possible.

The Fifth Army of Wang, outside the north gate, immediately gave up attacking Lanling City after receiving the information sent by Wang Liu, and gathered its men and horses to return along the road they came. (To be continued......)
