When night fell, Gao Lan led two thousand infantrymen, opened the city gate with copper coins in his mouth, and ran cautiously towards Guan Ping's camp.
Similarly, after Zishi, Guan Ping had awakened all his soldiers and asked them to stay in the camp and not move. As for Wei Yan, he had led two thousand soldiers out of the camp and lay down. Outside the ground, although it was a cold night in late autumn, these people were considered to be soldiers with good physical fitness, and they did not catch cold.
After Gao Lan left the city, Zhang Jia had an unpleasant feeling hovering between his brows. He wanted to order someone to call Gao Lan back, but there was no good reason, so he had to walk around the room in frustration.
An arrow killed a soldier patrolling the camp. Gao Lan roared and rushed directly into the camp. Then the soldiers led by Gao Lan also rushed into the camp, trampling over several tents. After everything was empty, Gao Lan instantly understood that the situation was not good.
"Kill me!" Guan Ping jumped out of his horse and roared loudly. A large number of soldiers from all directions appeared directly, and the clouds were densely connected. Then, led by Guan Ping, they went directly towards Gao Lan to kill.
"Form up and retreat slowly." Seeing that the situation was not good, Gao Lan directly issued the order to retreat without any hesitation. However, because there were soldiers coming from the left and right, Gao Lan did not dare to order a direct retreat.
"Puff!" The military camp itself was not too big. Gao Lan entered the barracks from the front. Before he could set the fire, Guan Ping came over and surrounded him on three sides. Before Gao Lan could stabilize his formation, both sides were already there. The close combat began.
Gao Lan took a calm look at the current situation and chose to cut off his wrist without hesitation. After all, Gao Lan, another general who opened his jaws, already knew what he was facing. Sometimes experience was more terrifying than wisdom, especially Gao Lan, who had accumulated experience between life and death. In this dangerous situation, even if you just rely on instinct, you still know what is the most correct choice.
"Throw the kerosene!" Gao Lan yelled, and directly ordered to throw the kerosene forward regardless of the distance, and then the torch also fell in the direction of the kerosene.
"Ah~" He was drenched in kerosene, and then set on fire. Soon, many people were on fire where Guan Ping and Gao Lan were fighting hand to hand. After being treated like this, Gao Lan was finally separated from Guan Ping's former army. Come.
"The rear army turns to the front army. The shield soldiers on the left and right are followed by the spearmen in front, and the crossbowmen are ready at any time!" Gao Lan yelled and retreated directly along the original route.
After Wei Yan saw some soldiers rushing forward, he led his soldiers lying on the ground to slowly crawl towards the camp. But it's obvious that many people have fallen asleep after lying on the ground for a long time in this weather.
After kicking those sleepy ones awake, Wei Yan cautiously crawled forward. He's going to make a surprise attack. Then before he could make a sudden attack, he found that the enemy soldiers were retreating, which meant that Guan Ping didn't bite. He cursed secretly for bad luck. Wei Yan no longer hesitated, got up and rushed towards Yuan Shaojun with a big sword. Rushing and yelling.
"Left side!" When Gao Lan heard the roar from the left side, his initial fear was wiped out. What he feared most was that the ambush would not appear. Being so frightened and unable to relax caused a lot of pressure, and as long as an ambush occurred, the losses would be even greater. There is no need to worry about being attacked anymore. House of Flying Daggers and other ambush methods will not be included in the calculation. Generally speaking, no one can use it, and no one can survive it.
"Fire the arrow!" Gao Lan listened to the footsteps and calculated the distance between the two sides. Step by step, he finally reached the optimal attack distance of the crossbow. Without hesitation, he roared and directed the only wave of crossbow arrows towards Shoot in the direction of Wei Yan.
"Damn it! Kill me!" Seeing that the men he led were hit by a wave of crossbow bolts and hit nearly a hundred people on the ground, Wei Yan roared with blood-red eyes and jumped in the direction of Gao Lan.
The first time he went on an expedition, he had made a good guess, and the other party also entered his ambush circle. Why was it that things after that were no longer under his control as before, and why did the other party seem to be prepared!
Wei Yan had too many questions and wanted to catch Gao Lan to ask, but there was no way to get close to Gao Lan, because Gao Lan didn't give him a chance to fight alone, and directly blocked Wei Yan with a team of elite troops, fighting with swords and guns. In addition, Wei Yan was almost killed directly in a foot battle.
However, precisely because of this danger, Wei Yan finally understood why he could not leave his personal guards. After Guan Ping handed the horse to Wei Yan, Wei Yan and Guan Ping led the soldiers to kill in the direction of Gao Lan. He took the lead and charged into the enemy army, but led the soldiers to follow Guan Yu's instructions and find ways to suppress Gao Lan bit by bit.
Although Gao Lan had rich experience, he still had few soldiers and was ambushed by the opponent. Although he had stabilized his formation from the beginning of the new year with the idea of ????fighting and retreating and waiting for rescue, he faced Wei Yan and Guan Ping who did not underestimate the enemy and advanced aggressively. Just Xu ??There is no good way to accumulate advantages and besieged from all sides. Now he can only hope that Zhang Jia can get there quickly.
At the third quarter of Yinshi, Zhang Zha had already guessed that something was not going well. The five thousand cavalry that he had already ordered headed directly towards the Guan Ping Camp under the leadership of Zhang Zha. This time, it was not for an attack, but just for the purpose of attacking. Shock the enemy so that Gao Lan can be brought out safely.
"General, the gate of Leling City has been opened, and the opponent has appeared with no less than 3,000 infantry and cavalry." A military prince said to Guan Yu.
"Three thousand people?" Guan Yu stroked his beard for a moment, and then slowly began to stroke his beard. After a long time, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the victory or defeat depended on this!
"You listen to my general's orders. I will wait for the opponent alone on the road. When I kill the enemy's commander, you don't have to delay and attack directly. Take advantage of the chaos and kill the opponent directly for me!" Guan Yu thought of a thing that only a warrior can do. A strategy that combines bravery with the opponent's defensiveness!
"General!" The guard was shocked.
"You guys go and get ready. I'll guard the road and see how I can kill the enemy generals in front of thousands of troops!" Guan Yu moved his horse and walked directly towards the center of the road. His guards were stunned and looked at each other. Quite at a loss, he had no choice but to follow Guan Yu's instructions and ride his horse to hide in the distance.
Guan Yu took a deep breath while riding the horse and suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart. He was a little excited now. The darkest moment before dawn is now, and now it is the end of October and there is no moon. Even he can only see more than a thousand meters. The opponent must be within 500 meters to see him. The only chance is to kill him with one blow and create a situation where a large army ambush him. (To be continued)
