Chen Lan, the general of Yuan Shu's army, was riding a maroon horse, wearing gold silk armor and a flying cloud crown, holding an eighty-nine kilogram trident and sitting in the middle of the army. access:. He looked around and felt the awe of his men, feeling extremely happy. "If Ji Ling hadn't died in battle, how would I have had the chance to be so happy?" "But with the regent as the enemy, this battle will be very bad. I can just fight around Xiapi and leave." Chen Lan thought this way At this time, many people around him had such thoughts, and they didn't know that Lin Tian's army was coming, so the atmosphere in the entire army was actually relaxed. Yuan Shu's army's vanguard cavalry were even in the mood to harass nearby villages and tease local women from good families. "Vice General Liu, how long do we have until we reach the border of Xiapi?" Chen Lan asked while riding a war horse. "General, after passing Ping County, we will go to Xiapi. If the army doesn't have dinner, we will go to Xiapi tonight." Chen Lan nodded slightly: "Okay, give the order to the whole army to march at a faster speed. I want to go to Xiapi tonight." Camp outside Pi City! " "No!" Lieutenant General Liu clasped his fists and stepped back. A few minutes later, he came back and said, "General, something is wrong! It's been an hour since our cavalry brothers went to Xia Pi. No response!" Lieutenant General Liu asked, "Should we let the Guards Cavalry go take a look? , and is a soldier of the tiger and wolf in the Central Plains. Although he does not have the discipline of the tiger and leopard cavalry and the Bingzhou cavalry, his personal bravery is already the first among Yuan Shu's army. Hearing that the guards cavalry were about to be dispatched, Chen Lan hesitated a little. Unable to withstand Lieutenant General Liu's repeated persuasion, he nodded and sent out 300 guards cavalry. The guard cavalry left the army and fled back at a gallop within ten minutes. With fear written all over their faces, these elite cavalry rushed into Yuan Shujun's front army, shouting names of monsters, causing chaos. Chen Lan hurriedly tried to suppress him, but just as he shouted, he saw on the horizon, Ma Chao came over with dozens of Xiliang cavalry, laughing arrogantly and killing him! At Ma Chao¡¯s feet, there were a bunch of heads hanging, including the captain of the cavalry. "Xiliang Jin Ma Chao!" Seeing Ma Chao, Chen Lan felt like her head was pounding and sweat broke out all over her body. "I am Ma Chao, General Longhu of the Imperial Forest Army of the Han Dynasty! Why don't you surrender quickly?" Ma Chao rushed into the formation, and with a burst of energy from his big gun, dozens of Yuan Shu's soldiers were knocked into the air. Poof! The Xiliang cavalry around Ma Chao also roared in. After skewering a bunch of human bodies with their spears, these Xiliang cavalry hit them with their horses, trampled them with their hoofs, and hit them hard with their maces, instantly creating a large mountain of corpses and a sea of ??blood. "How could my Yuan Shu army be so useless?" Chen Lan looked dumbly at Ma Chao's killing, and it took him a long time to wake up and hurriedly sent troops to besiege Ma Chao. However, at this time, Yuan Shu's army had already discovered the 'jade' unicorn battle flag that appeared on the left. Where the smoke was billowing, there were tens of thousands of Han Imperial Guard cavalry! "Jin Ma Chao deserves to be little Lu Bu! Fighting on the battlefield, he is the only one who can confidently fight freely among thousands of armies!" Zhang Liao followed Lu Qiling, looking at Ma Chao's heroic appearance, he couldn't help but think of Lu Bu, the former god of war. "My father" Lu Qiling shook her head. Ever since Lin Tian became the regent of the Han Dynasty, Lu Bu has been addicted to wine and sex, and his body has become weaker and weaker. Lu Qiling shook her head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in her mind, and charged at the infantrymen in Yuan Shujun's army. In an instant, the infantry of Yuan Shu's army were overwhelmed. Without Lin Tian bringing a hundred thousand imperial troops into the battlefield, Yuan Shu's army was already defeated. Chen Lan was anxious, but he was powerless. He was a second-rate general and not a talented commander. He was too reluctant to lead an army of 70,000 people. The march could not be chaotic, but all kinds of shortcomings leaked out during the battle. The holes' just kept appearing! Boom! Chen Lan suddenly felt the sound of thunder exploding around him, and then he was lifted up in the air and fell to the muddy ground together with his horse and man. Chen Lan hurriedly got up and saw a deep pit with a depth of more than 20 meters and a radius of more than 30 meters on the left side. He couldn't help but said: "How could it be possible? Even the God of War Lu Bu can't do such an attack!" "Could it be? " Chen Lan looked into the distance. On the top of the distant mountain, the tanks set up were firing the second wave of shells. This is the first time they have fired in half a year since they materialized. They are usually used as iron oxen and have made great contributions to Luoyang¡¯s farming industry! Now they have dispersed Chen Lan's personal guards, leaving Chen Lan exposed.In front of Jin Ma Chao. Jin Machao came on horseback with a spear in hand, and passed by Chen Lan in an instant. ¡°Then, a head belonging to Chen Lan appeared in Ma Chao¡¯s hand. Bang! Chen Lan fell, and immediately, a large number of Yuan Shu's officers and soldiers shouted that the general was dead! Then kneel down and surrender or run away! "This is Yuan Shu's army?" Wei Yan shook his head in displeasure when he saw Yuan Shu's army defeated all over the mountains and plains. "There are no generals in Yuan Shu's army!" Sima Yi said: "My lord can take the opportunity to seize Shouchun and occupy the Central Plains." "And then, go south to Jingzhou?" Lin Tian said. "Jingzhou will definitely be able to go straight down the river to the east of the Yangtze River!" Sima Yi nodded and said: "With the power of Lord Tianwei, the wealthy families in Jiangdong will definitely make a wise choice." "Haha, a wise choice?" Lin Tian waved his clothes. The leader said: "It's not that simple. The wealthy families of Jiangdong are indeed afraid of me and my military power, but Sun Quan of Jiangdong is not a simple monarch. Maybe his martial arts is not as good as Liu Bei's, and his literary talent is not as good as Cao Cao's, but he can seize power in a round." , He is a good player! Plus Pang Tong!" Lin Tian shook his head: "Jiangdong can't go down without a fight!" "As for Jingzhou" Lin Tian thought for a while and said: "After capturing Shouchun, I Will return to attack Yuan Shao!" "What about Jingzhou, Jiangdong" Sima Yi asked. "Let Zhang Liao lead 50,000 troops to station in Shouchun." Lin Tian said proudly: "The money and food I have developed in Luoyang in the past six months is enough to support an army of one million!" "There are also 50,000 young imperial guards in Luoyang. I will lead the troops to attack Yuan Shao, and they can be stationed at Hulao Pass to support Zhang Liao at any time. "Yes, our Han Yulin Army has the confidence to fight on both sides!" Sima Yi also nodded, and secretly cursed his own spies for being useless. After a long time, I still can't find the origin and secret of Lin Tian's steel machines! For the powerful steel machines in Lin Tian¡¯s hands, which are not weak in combat and can be used to produce amazing steel machines, the wealthy families in Luoyang and even the entire Central Plains are envious and greedy. It¡¯s just that Lin Tian¡¯s concrete creation is really beyond the rules of this world. No matter what the wealthy family does, they can¡¯t figure out the situation clearly. Lin Tian thought about it for a while, and after defeating Yuan Shu's army, he sent his army to kill Shouchun. As for Xiapi Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others who were ready to escape in the city were dumbfounded when they learned that Lin Tian actually ran away to Shouchun and gave up on themselves and others. Cao ¡®Cao¡¯ had to continue the withdrawal plan while cursing Yuan Shu for being so useless. It was not that no one suggested taking the opportunity to attack Lin Tianhou's army. Cao Cao and Liu Bei were also very tempted. However, after knowing that Zhang Liao was in charge of the rear army and Gao Shun was in the camp, they gave up this bold idea! Two days after Chen Lan died in battle, Shouchun was besieged. The rebel army summoned by Yuan Shu dispersed in a hurry. Yuan Shu sat in the city, lamenting his bad luck overnight, and then died with a gun. After Yuan Shu committed suicide, Shouchun was occupied by Lin Tian. Compared with the ruins of Xuchang, the intact Shouchun city allowed Lin Tian's army to repair. Lin Tian rested for two days and left Zhang Liao to guard Shouchun and monitor Liu Biao in Jingzhou. After the commander's army went north through Xiapi and entered Xuzhou, he then entered Qingzhou, Yuzhou and other places and entered Wuchao. Yuan Shaojun was completely unable to react and hurriedly retreated to confront Lin Tian in Wuchao. It¡¯s night, Lin Tian leads an army of 125,000, and attacks Yuan Shao¡¯s army of 300,000 at night! Yuan Shao¡¯s army marched across Youzhou and Jizhou. This time he sent as many as 300,000 troops! But these 300,000 are not Lin Tian¡¯s imperial army. Half of them are soldiers, and then there are more than 30,000 barbarian cavalry from the grasslands, plus servants from various families and volunteer camps. There are only about 90,000 soldiers under Yuan Shao's control, and their combat effectiveness is by no means elite! Yuan Shao's "elite" troops are only 10,000 Youzhou cavalry, eight Yinbei heavy infantry, and more than 1,500 advanced crossbows. When Lin Tian launched the night attack, except for Yuan Shao's middle camp who barely blocked Huang Zhong's attack with its elite troops, the rest of the camps were all in chaos during the night attack! The 30,000 grassland cavalry recovered by Yuan Shao's force immediately withdrew hundreds of miles and withdrew from the battlefield. "Fire the arrows! Fire the arrows quickly!" In the camp, General Zhang He eagerly gave orders, asking the crossbowmen to 'shoot' sharp arrows. However, after the opponent was repulsed, a group of heavy infantrymen came up with tower shields. Their one-foot-thick iron-clad wooden shields blocked most of the sharp arrows. Then, behind them, except for the counterattacks of the long archers of the Royal Forest Army, There were also dozens of rolling stones thrown by trebuchets, which shocked the crossbowmen.Everyone was frightened. "It's broken! The Peking University camp has been broken!" Zhang He suddenly heard a school captain approaching on horseback, and he yelled as he ran away. Zhang He quickly drew his bow and shot him to death. Then Zhang He was about to say that he was disturbing the morale of the army when he saw Huang Zhong throw a spear and quickly passed over his head and landed in the open space behind him. "Oh my god, it's General Chunyu Jing!" A captain shouted in surprise after seeing it. "Is the Beida camp really broken?" Seeing his former colleagues and Yuan Shao's generals' heads tied to spears and hanging in front of their eyes, Zhang He couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine. Soon, Zhang He could not stop the defeat of the defeated army. The crossbowmen fled one after another, and the law enforcement team also collapsed after killing several people with a rolling stone. The Hebei heavy infantry was still holding on to the front, but as Wei Yan, their enemy, brought in a large number of armor-piercing crossbows from the Royal Forest Army, the Hebei heavy infantry was also losing money at an alarming rate. Yuan Shao found it difficult to accept that he had been defeated by a night attack. He drew his sword and fought to the end. However, under the persuasion of Feng Ji, Shen Pei and other civil servants, he reluctantly agreed to withdraw. Yan Liang and Wen Chou escorted Yuan Shao and retreated, leaving more than 100,000 rebels and soldiers to Lin Tian. Lin Tian took Ma Chao and Lu Qiling as the vanguard. After defeating the camps on both sides, he began to persuade them to surrender. Without any effort, he captured more than 100,000 people. After that, Lin Tian asked Sima Yi to take the prisoners back to Puyang for resettlement, and at the same time led troops to pursue Yuan Shao all the way to Yecheng. Yecheng is a huge city in Hebei Province and the capital of Jizhou. It has a population of 500,000 and is where the Yuan Shao family has been operating for hundreds of years. Lin Tian besieged Yecheng and only used trebuchets to attack the city every day for a week. Outside Ye City, looking at the city wall with countless gaps, Ma Chao looked at the billowing smoke and dust blowing from the north. "My lord, is this why you just besieged the enemy without attacking?" Ma Chao whispered, raising the bright silver spear in his hand, and immediately the three thousand Xiliang cavalry behind him pulled it out excitedly He acquired the mace, a weapon specialized in breaking armor. "Kill, let these northern barbarians know that our Xiliang cavalry are more terrifying demons and monsters than Gongsun Zan's white-horse followers!" Ma Chao waved his spear, and the Xiliang cavalry rushed forward like a flood. There is the hope of Yecheng, with 70,000 Wuheng cavalry and 10,000 Youzhou cavalry led by Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan. The 10,000 Youzhou cavalry urged the Wuheng cavalry to rush towards Ma Chao's Xiliang cavalry. Both sides were cavalry. Once they arrived at the battlefield, there was no possibility of retreat. Suddenly, a bloody battle broke out on the grassland outside Yecheng Lin Tian was one step closer to unifying the entire Han Empire and completing the final optional mission!
