Late at night, the stars are shining brightly.

The full moon hanging in the sky has long since disappeared, leaving only a few stars dotting the sky.

Under the night, silhouettes of people are wandering around quickly.

Yan ** was on his horse and led the Yizhou soldiers to escape quickly in the direction of Yangping Pass. All the soldiers were very tired, and their legs seemed to be filled with lead and were very heavy. However, there was a crazy stubbornness in the soldiers' eyes.

He spread his legs and ran wildly.

After running away for several hours, Yan Yan looked quite embarrassed. The helmet on his head had fallen off at some point, and the bun on his forehead was messy and scattered. Since Yan Yan stopped to rest twice, he was beaten by Wang Can both times.

After catching up, he didn't stop to rest and kept moving forward. Knowing that their lives were hanging by a thread, the soldiers consciously dragged their legs and ran away quickly. All the soldiers had only one thought in their minds - escape!

In fact, a day of continuous running would not make the soldiers so exhausted.

The reason is that the soldiers did not have a good rest due to the constant sound of war drums and horns last night. If they did not sleep at night, their spirits would naturally be poor during the day. Moreover, they encountered successive battles during the day, and their spirits were always in a state of tension.

After the war, the continuous escapes exhausted all the physical strength of the soldiers, which made them unable to continue.

"Huhu..."

Yan Zhi bent over, panting heavily, and said intermittently: "General... General, I really... really... can't... run... anymore. I have no... strength... anymore."

The war horse under Yan Zhi's crotch has long been exhausted, and he is running on his legs like an ordinary soldier.

After running all the way, Yan Zhi couldn't help but ask to stop and rest. Moreover, he had been running continuously for several hours, and there was no fire coming from behind. It was possible that he had gotten rid of Wang Can's pursuers. Yan Zhi relaxed.

His tone, bending over, breathing heavily, his speaking speed seemed very rapid, and his voice became hoarse.

Yan Yan turned over and dismounted, half-kneeling on the ground with his ears close to the ground, listened carefully for a moment, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "There are no pursuers behind. I guess Wang Can has withdrawn his troops. Pass the order and all the soldiers rest where they are. But

, don’t let down your guard to avoid being overtaken by Wang Can’s army.”

"promise!"

After Yan Zhi heard this, his face showed a hint of joy.

The army stopped, and the soldiers sat down on the ground, breathing heavily, with joy on their faces.

After running for so long, I was finally able to rest.

Half an hour later, Wang Can did not lead his troops to catch up. The half-asleep soldiers sitting on the ground breathed a sigh of relief and began to close their eyes to rest. An hour later, Wang Can's army still did not come after him. The soldiers were wary.

Then he relaxed and lay down on the ground to sleep, completely forgetting Yan Yan's order.

Yan Yan saw that Wang Can still did not lead the troops to catch up after an hour, so she felt relieved and secretly finally got rid of Wang Can temporarily.

"Snoring! Snoring!..."

In the camp, the soldiers lay crookedly on the ground, or fell asleep with weapons in their hands.

Yan Yan sat next to the war horse, holding the large ring knife in both hands and leaning on the ground, closing his eyes and resting.

Although he was sleeping, Yan Yan was still very alert and had not completely relaxed. The soldiers could sleep, but he could not. Even if Wang Can did not catch up for the time being, Wang Can would definitely lead his troops to continue the pursuit after dawn.

It was impossible to let him lead the army to escape, so even if Yan Yan closed his eyes and slept, he was still thinking about how to get rid of Wang Can and successfully return to Yizhou.

A plan to attack the east and attack the west!

A plan to lure the enemy!

A plan to stop the grass and scare the snake!

…

Strategies flashed through Yan Yan's mind, but they were rejected by Yan Yan.

At some point, Yan Yan fell asleep and the stars in the sky disappeared.

There was silence and darkness on the official road, and the fire had long been extinguished. Except for snoring and the chirping of birds and insects in the weeds, there were no other sounds. Everyone had fallen asleep. At this moment, booming

The sound came, and countless firelights suddenly lit up around them, illuminating the dark night red.

"Hoo! Hoo!..."

The torch burned blazingly, and the dazzling light woke Yan Yan up.

He looked up and after seeing the scene around him, he secretly sighed that he was too exhausted. Even though he was thinking of being vigilant, he did not notice the arrival of Wang Can's army.

Yan Yan stood up suddenly, held the big ring knife in his hand across his chest, and shouted: "Meet the enemy!" A roar, like thunder, made the soldiers who slept like dead pigs quickly open their eyes. These soldiers

After seeing the red fire around them, they quickly stood up, picked up the weapons in their hands, and prepared to meet the enemy. The soldiers held the weapons in one hand and rubbed their sore eyes with the other hand, looking at the dazzling fire around them with a look of fear.

Got caught up again!

The soldiers were heartbroken and had a look of defeat on their faces.

Yan Yan glanced around and didn't find Wang Can.

Finally, his eyes rested on a young man wearing a white robe, a scarf on his head, and a long sword hanging from his waist right in front of the official road. This young man's eyes were like stars, and his bright eyes were so profound that it was amazing.

The miracle of the Creator. However, the young man looked at Yan Yan with a hint of laziness on his face.

Yan Yan frowned slightly and shouted: "Who is in front of you?"

"Yingchuan Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao!"

The young man shook his sleeves and said with a smile.

"Guo Jia?"

Yan Yan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. Who is Guo Jia? One of the three great counselors under Wang Can, Yan Yan, as a prefect, has his own information channels to know Guo Jia's name.

After hearing Guo Jia's words, his mind immediately became active, and his eyes were rolling, thinking that if he captured Guo Jia, he would have the capital to bargain with Wang Can. Yan Yan swung the large ring knife and was about to rush forward to capture him.

Guo Jia, but he had just stepped out, and felt that Guo Jia was standing in front of him casually, so he could not be caught easily, and there might be a trap.

Coincidentally, at this time Wang Can's voice came from behind,

Wang Can shouted: "General Yan, don't be impulsive if you stand where you are. Fengxiao has an incomparable plan, and he can calculate the heavens, earth, ghosts and gods. All the plans when you and I were fighting were all made by Fengxiao. If you rush forward on horseback,

If you go up, you may have fallen into Fengxiao's trick again. Rather than being humiliated by the trick, it's better to surrender early, surrender early!"

Bullshit!

After Yan Yan heard this, he cursed secretly, saying that he would rather fall into the trap than surrender to Wang Can.

Moreover, what makes Yan Yan excited and frightened is that all the strategies are done by Guo Jia. Although Guo Jia is extremely powerful, it can be seen that Guo Jia's status in Wang Can's heart is very high. At this time, Yan Yan's heart is even more

Uncontrollably wanting to catch Guo Jia, he instantly got on his horse, holding a large ring knife in hand, and galloped forward, preparing to capture Guo Jia.

Seeing this, Wang Can reminded him with a smile: "General Yan, there is a trap ahead, you can't get there, you can't get there!"

Yan Yan glanced back at Wang Can and snorted coldly. Then she saw Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao standing beside Wang Can, and thought to herself: If I can't catch you, how can I catch Guo Jia who has no one to protect him?

Even if there is a trap, you must rush through it.

Thinking of this, Yan Yan was full of ambition and confidence, and he couldn't care if there were any pitfalls ahead.

He patted the horse's back and galloped towards Guo Jia.

Yan Yan galloped, but Guo Jia did not move at all. Seeing that Yan Yan did not listen to the advice, Wang Can shook his head repeatedly, with a look of pity on his face. He saw Yan Yan galloping, and he had just run half the distance.

The war horse under his crotch kept raising his head and neighing, and ran forward a few steps, but his hoofs were unsteady and he fell to the ground.

Yan Yan looked down and saw that the ground was covered with spikes. The horse's hooves trampled on the ground, and the sharp spikes poked the horseshoes. The horseshoes of the four legs of the war horse were injured, and they fell directly to the ground, unable to move forward.

Yan Yan's body also fell down with the war horse. He reacted very quickly. He swiped his sword and pushed away the spikes on the ground.

Standing on the ground, Yan Yan looked at the spikes scattered around him and felt like crying without tears.

He waved his sword again and pushed away all the sharp thorns in front of him. However, just as he got rid of the sharp thorns, he saw that the official road ahead was covered with weeds and dead branches. The area of ​​weeds and dead branches was very wide, as wide as five meters.

Yan Yan didn't even think about it, and directly thought that it was a pit dug by Guo Jia on the official road, and deliberately placed dead branches and weeds. Even if Yan Yan's horse rushed over, it would fall into the pit. Yan Yan was sharp and knew that there was nothing he could do.

He jumped over and could only stare at Guo Jiaqian in the distance.

Wang Can showed a playful smile on his face and shouted loudly: "You have no way to move forward and no way to retreat. Put down your weapons and surrender immediately. Those who surrender will not be killed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Yizhou soldiers under Yan Yan broke into chaos.

The soldiers looked uncertain. After a while, one soldier shouted: "I surrender, I surrender!"

After saying that, the soldier threw down the weapon in his hand and knelt down to surrender. The soldier's eyes were red and he had a very tired look on his face. He had been running away and fighting continuously. He had long been beaten to the point of losing his energy, and his psychological defense was also very fragile.

Hearing Wang Can speak, he immediately surrendered. Yan Yan turned around and saw the soldiers surrendering, with a sad look in her eyes. After all, she was defeated, so completely.

There is a big pit in front of you that you cannot rush through, and there is Wang Can's army behind you.

No way to escape, defeated.

"I surrender!"

"I surrender!"

…

The soldiers rushed to throw away their weapons and knelt down to surrender. These soldiers were already frightened. They were mentally exhausted from being chased, and their psychological defenses were extremely fragile. They all lost the courage to resist. After the first soldier surrendered, there were immediately

The second and third soldiers surrendered.

There were more than two thousand soldiers, and most of them surrendered in the blink of an eye.

Yan looked straight at the surrendering soldiers, his eyes blazing with fire, and he was so angry that he brandished his sword to kill the surrendering soldiers.
