end of september

There was still a month left before the cold winter, and everyone was speeding up their pace. Di Qing, who had just assumed the commander-in-chief of the army, came to his army tent, where Lan Yu and General Su Qin were already sitting.

Originally, this position had to go to Feng Yi in terms of seniority, but at this time, Feng Yi was guarding Xiangdi and couldn't escape, so this task naturally fell on Di Qing.

Di Qing looked at the two people. The one on the left was a little frail. He was wearing white clothes, with a piece of white velvet on his shoulders and a sword on his waist. He was about seven and a half feet long. He was thin and frail, but his eyes were filled with cold light.

Show his intelligence.

The person on the right is wearing heavy black armor, has a strong back and waist, is eight feet long, and carries a sword on his waist. He is very powerful. Although his body is a bit thicker, he has the aura of a scholar. He has a mustache on his nose.

His chin has a mountain mustache, and his eyes are filled with elite light, making him a powerful general.

While Di Qing was looking at the two of them, the two of them were also looking at Di Qing. Di Qing was about thirty years old, wearing a black helmet and heavy armor, and a white coat tilted to cover his armor. His skin was dark.

There is a criminal code on the left corner of the forehead, which is a tattoo like Ying Bu's. At first glance, this sign indicates that he has committed a criminal law, which makes people's impression three points worse.

Di Qing looked at the slightly stunned and unwilling expressions in their eyes, and with a calm expression on his face, he raised his hands to them and said, "My name is Di Qing. I have broken the law before! I have killed people!"

Di Qing's words were sonorous and powerful, making Su Qin and Lan Yu slightly stunned. The shortcomings that others were afraid to avoid talking about turned out to be indifferent in front of Di Qing. This guy...

"Your Majesty, I am a meritocracy. I, Di Qing, made my fortune in the battle to destroy Lu. I was promoted by General Zhuge. Now I am the commander-in-chief of the army. I will need more help from my two brothers in the future. Qing! I can't thank you enough." Di Qing handed over to the two of them.

Holding his fists, Su Qin was duplicitous and said with a smile: "General, you're too polite! You're too polite!"

Lan Yu also had a good impression of Di Qing's boldness. She didn't say anything, but nodded to Di Qing. In terms of qualifications, he should be the commander-in-chief, but it happened to be taken over by Di Qing. To say that he was dissatisfied, Lan Yu definitely had some.

of.

"Well!" Seeing that the prelude had begun, Di Qing no longer needed to be polite. He rubbed his wrist, drove to the map, and said with an indifferent expression: "This time, General Cao Cao will be the general, and I will be the deputy general. Now I

The army serves as the vanguard. I guess General Zhuge will definitely advance slowly. If he accelerates the march now, he will definitely become the leader. There are many famous generals in Sun Yue's army, including Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in the front, Lu Meng and Fu Youde in the back. Rushing to advance is extremely easy to be ambushed and attacked.

against!"

Experts will know if they are there as soon as they make a move. Su Qin instantly changed his view of Di Qing. He originally thought he was a man with military exploits and qualifications, but now it seems that he still has two brushes in his belly.

Lan Yu crossed his arms in front of his chest, closed his eyes and sat on the chair without speaking. In his opinion, he only needed to complete the task assigned by Di Qing.

Faced with Lan Yu's lack of cooperation, Di Qing didn't say anything. He stroked his beard and said thoughtfully for a while, "I want to advance the army in two directions. What do you think, General Lan Yu!"

The opportunity has come!

Lan Yu suddenly opened her eyes, came to the table, looked at Di Qing and said, "What do you want!"

"I want to allocate 30,000 elite troops to General Lan Yu. Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Yu Jin, and Le Jin will all be transferred to your command. You will march with the army for five days first. When they arrive in Xuancheng, I will give you

Three days of rations, can you take down Gu Miao for me?" Di Qing breathed while stroking his breath, with a serious look on his face.

"Okay!" Lan Yu thought carefully for half a stick of incense before finally agreeing.

"General Lan Yu! This is no joke. After the army arrives in Xuancheng, it will take five days to reach Xuancheng. If you capture Xuancheng, you will definitely receive the most violent counterattack from Sun Yue. Among them, there will be a huge amount of food and grass.

What a question!" Out of good intentions, Su Qin opened his mouth to remind Lan Yu that this was a war, not a child's play.

"Okay!" Lan Yu didn't say much. Years of guarding the Zhou Dynasty had already worn away his edge. Now he is a sharp sword with cold light, and he is about to drink blood to prove his edge.

"Okay!" Di Qing saw Lan Yu's face change color. He had nothing to say about such a strong general. He waved his hand and took out the general order and said: "I leave everything to General Lan Yu. You must guard Gumi. This is our army."

The first battle going south must not be lost!"

"Well!" Lan Yu took over the general with one hand, then left the military tent, and personally selected 30,000 brave warriors in the military camp. In the next five days, Lan Yu trained day and night, drank cold wine, and

Jiu Jin continued to train his charging power and ate meat when he was hungry to replenish the strength of these soldiers. The daily training consisted of running, attacking, lasting, and carrying heavy loads.

These five days were miserable for these 30,000 soldiers, but the results were obvious. They were the first to arrive at the garrison every time, clearing the way for the army.

Xuancheng finally arrived, and Lan Yu's 30,000-strong army marched towards Gumi with three days of rations.

Gu Miao's information was also sent back. Lan Yu looked at the bamboo slips in her hand, scanning them up and down, and there were several more strings of information in her mind.

The chief general Jiang Qin, the deputy generals Chen Wu and Sun Guan, and the garrison of 8,000 troops,

Terrain: The ground is flat, with a mouth and a river, which can be opened up on the left and right, and the river water is used as a moat for irrigation.

Lan Yu rubbed his neck, and there was a crackling sound on the bones. Lan Yu stared at the bamboo slips, reading the information inside. Then Lan Yu suddenly threw the bamboo slips into the fire pit, using it as a warming fire.

Lan Yu squinted her eyes and said for a while: "The whole army is ready for a night attack tomorrow night!"

"No!" Everyone agreed in unison and dispersed. Lan Yu had no intention of sleeping. Looking at the crackling bonfire that had been burned, Lan Yu waited quietly. After a while, Zhang Liao and Yu Jiner

The man came to sit down in front of the bonfire and looked at Lan Yu with a puzzled expression: "General! What do you want from us?"

Lan Yu looked at the two of them, smiled and said: "After all these years, we are finally leading troops into battle!"

There was bitterness in Lan Yu's eyes. They have been really... hard to describe in these years.

Generals Zhang Liao and Yu Jin both looked stunned for a moment, but then they thought more freely and said indifferently: "It has been more than twenty years, and the battles in the past are still vivid in my mind!"

"Tomorrow's battle! It's about our future, so... I'll rely on these two brothers a lot!" Lan Yu bowed her hands to the two of them, and they waved away. Zhang Liao stood up slowly, patted the dust on his butt, and looked at her face.

He said indifferently: "Do your best and obey fate!"

It was pitch black and no light could be seen. Lan Yu and other 30,000 soldiers and horses were broken into pieces, crossed the Ren River, and marched towards Gumi City.

In Gumi City

Jiang Qin held the sharp sword in his arms and stared at the situation at hand. Generals Sun Guan and Chen Wu squinted their eyes. They were all waiting for the general's order and did not speak.

Jiang Qin stroked his beard and said after a while: "Have all the people in the city evacuated?"

"Everything has been moved away!" Sun Guan grinned and sneered, seeming to feel quite excited. Chen Wu on one side also told what he had learned: "We have moved all the grain and grass, and the entire Gumi is a building."

It’s an empty city!”

"Yes!" Jiang Qin nodded, and then said: "According to the order of General Zhou Yu, Sun Guan will lead three thousand people to ambush Gumi, and Chen Wu will follow me to withdraw from Gumi City!"

"Yes!" Both of them saluted, without any intention of overstepping their bounds. After receiving the general's order, Sun Guan pinched his beard, pressed the sword in his arms, and left the mansion. Jiang Qin and others did not delay and turned around.

Evacuate the city.

"Kill!" Lan Yu broke open the city gate inside the city, and then Lan Yu's army of 100,000 rushed into the city crazily. Zhang Liao personally led thousands of soldiers into the city.

But what followed was an empty city. You can't be in an empty city. No sound could be heard in the city. Zhang Liao's expression changed and he shouted: "No! There's an ambush! Get out!"

"Fire arrows!" Sun Guan, who had been observing in the dark, suddenly shouted angrily. Suddenly thousands of archers lined up in sequence and released arrows one after another. All they could hear was: "Swish, swish, swish, swish...!"

"Shield men come forward, stabilize the formation! Quick!" Zhang Liao moved around in a flash, with the swords of his hands flying around, knocking over the cold arrows. Zhang He's face changed as he rushed over, and he looked at Zhang Liao's vanguard who had rushed into the ambush.

, then turned the horse's head and shouted angrily: "The cavalry is coming with me! Drive!"

After Zhang He finished speaking, he personally led the fifty-eight cavalry to bypass the enemy and ambush directly inside the south city gate.

Yu Jin narrowed his eyes and shouted angrily: "Behead those who rebelled against the army, but the archers still shot!"

"Swish, swish... swish, swish!" The cold arrows shot out from the sky and began to suppress Sun Guan's archers. Le Jin could not sit still at this time. He grabbed a shield and held a simple knife in his hand.

, shouted angrily: "Swordsman, follow me and rush over! Kill!"

"Kill!" The shouts of killing around him were like thunder. Sun Guan saw that the situation was not right, and immediately turned his horse's head and shouted angrily: "Withdraw!"

"Evacuate!" The remaining soldiers did not dare to delay and turned around to evacuate. Le Jin's eyes flashed coldly and he gritted his teeth and cursed angrily: "You bastard! If you want to run away... don't leave!"

"Hehe!" Sun Guan glanced back at Le Jin who was pursuing him, turned his horse's head, his eyes full of mockery, and shouted angrily: "Withdraw"

"Drive!" Seeing Sun Guan approaching the South City Gate, Zhang He, who had been ambushing at the South City Gate, suddenly urged his horse and stared at Sun Guan with wide eyes. The sword in his hand exuded a frightening light under the cold light.

"Guerrilla General Zhang He is here! The thief General An dares to be rampant and will die!" Zhang He led a group of cavalry to fight out from the left side of Sun Guan at an extremely fast speed, catching Sun Guan off guard.

"The thief will die." Zhang He's whole body exploded with cold light, and he was only thirty meters away from Sun Guan.

"kill him!"

Sun looked at Zhang He's small cavalry and didn't notice Zhang He taking them seriously at all. He glared angrily.

"Kill!" Two burly men behind Sun Guan came out with soldiers, firmly protecting Sun Guan behind them, and stared at Zhang He with wide eyes.

"Crack... Puff!" Zhang He killed the general on the left with one strike of his sword. He flipped his hand and whipped the general away. Zhang He clamped the horse's belly fiercely and said with wide eyes, "Suffer death!"

"No!" Sun Guan raised his eyebrows, turned his horse's head and shouted angrily: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

Just as Sun Guan turned around, Zhang He threw his sword out and stabbed Sun Guan in the lower abdomen. At this moment, Sun Guan held on to the reins tightly and refused to let go. Zhang He, who was behind him, drew out the sword in his arms and swung his sword to behead him.

The good man's head fell, Sun Guan died on the spot, and the soldiers fled in all directions with expressions of contentment on their faces.

After struggling for a long time, Zhang He looked at the entire city wall with a bad expression and found that there were no flammable items here. After all, it had just rained a few days ago, so Zhang He went back to resume his life.

When Lan Yu walked into the city wall and looked at the entire Gumi City, Lan Yu felt that it was too easy to win this city, without even a little pressure. This made Lan Yu a little confused, what was going on... Did Sun Yue collapse without a fight?

.

With all these questions, Lan Yu took a look around the city, but there was not even a single light. Lan Yu looked solemnly and looked at Zhang He aside and said, "What's the water source in the city like? Is there any poisoning or something!"

"The soldier drank the well water, and there is no problem!" Zhang He pressed the weapon in his arms with a serious look on his face.

Banxiang Lanyu seemed to have thought of something, and immediately said: "Search from house to house to see if there are secret passages or anything like that. If so, fill them in. They also demolish houses and collect bark and leaves. All the roots of grass are

Get it off and grind it into powder!"

"General... what are you doing!" Le Jin narrowed his eyes and asked in confusion.

"There is not a grain of food in the city. This must be Zhou Yu setting up a military formation. If the army wants to go south, it must break this formation!" Zhang Liao squinted his eyes and looked solemn.

"Zhou Yu is afraid that he wants to use us as bait to attract Di Qing's troops. He sent a letter overnight to tell Di Qing not to be aggressive and to fight steadily! You must not be tough when dealing with this Zhou Yu!" Lan Yu immediately waved to the soldiers to pass on the order.

Di Qing.

At the Suai Military Camp at this moment, Zhou Yu dragged his weak body and looked at the map in front of him. He glanced at Pan Zhang beside him and said, "What's the situation with Jiang Qin? Have you withdrawn?"

"The entire army has retreated, and everything is under the general's control!" Pan Zhang's eyes were full of joy.

"Well!" Zhou Yu nodded, but was not in a hurry. He squinted his eyes and stared at the map on the table and said: "Tell Ding Feng's navy that they are not allowed to send out warships without permission from this general. Anyone who disobeys the order

cut!"

"promise!"

After Zhou Yu arranged all this, he murmured to himself: "Lanyu is a defeated general, and Di Qing is a nobody, but I was underestimated by that kid Han Yi!"

Zhou Yu only had 70,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, but he wanted to destroy the 100,000-strong Korean army. This is what Zhou Yu thought and what he did. Zhou Yu's power is still there, and his last-ditch battle is comparable to that of Han Xin and Wu Qi.

The Korean army advanced in three directions, Zhou Yu defended in the west, Sun Ce personally led 80,000 troops in the east to face the enemy, while Lü Meng in the west led the last 50,000 troops to confront Zhuge Liang.
