In the blink of an eye, the river rushing down came rushing forward.
The pontoon bridge on the river was washed away by the river. With a bang, it was immediately washed away and turned into a wooden board floating on the water. The turbulent waves turned into a wild beast and swallowed up all the Wei soldiers crossing the river with their trouser legs rolled up.
"boom!!"
A big wave came and Gao Lan was swept up by the river water, wrapped in the water and ran downstream.
The water overflowed the wide river bed, and all the Wei troops were wiped out.
Shouts and cries for help came and went.
Looking around, black figures were rising and falling in the river, falling with the turbulent water. The Shu soldiers standing on the bank looked at the rolling waves, and felt happy that the Wei army had been wiped out. But looking at the rolling floods
, the soldiers couldn't help but swallowed, full of awe of God.
It is probably impossible for the power of ghosts and gods to destroy so many Wei troops at once.
Tens of thousands of people disappeared in an instant, which was terrible.
Wenpin, Yan Yan and others looked at Pang Tong, with admiration and fear in their eyes.
They shouted and killed, desperately chasing the Wei army, but they only killed more than 10,000 people and captured nearly 20,000 people. This was the result of long-distance running and pursuit. Pang Tong's plan easily ruined nearly 50,000 people.
Life was too overwhelming. After a while, the river water calmed down, but it had already reached the lower abdomen and was no longer submerged up to the calf.
On the upper reaches of the river, small boats appeared one after another, traveling down the river.
On each small boat, there are about a dozen soldiers, all armed with spears, which can attack from a distance. The leader of them is Huang Xu. After he dug the river embankment to release the water, he waited for the water to calm down and immediately led the soldiers to attack.
.
Yan Yan rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "Military advisor, although we defeated Gao Lan this time, the floods have washed away Gao Lan's people, so how can we arrest them?"
When Wenpin heard this, he immediately felt that this was the case.
He felt it was a pity in his heart, it would have been better if Gao Lan had been captured.
Pang Tong smiled and said confidently: "I have already ordered people to install rows of fences downstream of the river. The water rushed down and gradually weakened the impact. It is impossible for Gao Lan to escape. General Yan, General Wen,
Don’t stay here, lead your soldiers to hunt down the Wei army immediately. Whether it’s a Wei army soldier or Gao Lan, it’s all meritorious service.”
Their eyes lit up and they immediately left with the soldiers.
Zhang Liao did not pursue. He was the commander-in-chief of the army and had won a great victory. Naturally, he could not escape the greatest contribution. Zhang Liao thought for a moment and said: "Military advisor, we defeated 80,000 Wei troops in this battle. Our army's losses are estimated to be no more than
Five thousand people can be considered a great victory. However, Cao Ren is still in Ancheng, so it will not be easy to destroy Cao Ren."
Pang Tong waved his sleeves and said confidently: "General, the 80,000 Wei troops led by Gao Lan are the elite of Cao Ren. Without these 80,000 people, Cao Ren would become a tiger without claws and teeth, and could only shrink in
It is impossible for Ancheng to take the initiative to send troops. Next, we will enter Yuzhou and encroach on the territory of Yuzhou."
Zhang Liao said with a smile: "Sir, you are right. Let's go and deal with the surrendered Wei army first, and then formulate the next policy."
At that moment, Zhang Liao and Pang Tong gathered their soldiers together, cleared the battlefield, and set up camp again.
Time passed and the sun was setting in the blink of an eye.
In the quiet camp, bursts of laughter and shouts suddenly rang out. Yan Yan, Huang Xu and Wenpin led the army back to the camp, with a group of Wei soldiers in custody behind them.
The soldiers of the Wei army were imprisoned, and Yan Yan carried Gao Lan towards the Chinese army's tent.
Entering the tent, Yan Yan kicked Gao Lan to the ground, clasped his fists and said, "Sir, Gao Lan has been caught. This kid is very slippery. When we caught up with him, he almost dodged us.
My lord, Gao Lan is no longer useful, take him out and kill him, show his head to the public, and frighten the rest of the Wei soldiers."
Zhang Liao nodded and said in a deep voice: "It's useless for such a person with no talent but high ambition to stay in the army. Come on, pull Gao Lan down and chop him down."
"boom!!"
Gao Lan collapsed on the ground and looked at Zhang Liao in surprise.
He didn't expect Zhang Liao to want to kill him, which was beyond Gao Lan's expectations. He was the leader of the 80,000 Wei army and an important general stationed in Yuzhou. Keeping him would be of great benefit to the future attack on Yuzhou. Zhang Liao
But he didn't play his cards according to common sense, which made Gao Lan feel aggrieved.
As soon as Yan Yan heard Gao Lan's words, he dragged Gao Lan and walked out of the camp.
Gao Lan became anxious and shouted: "General Zhang, don't kill me, don't kill me, I can help."
Zhang Liao remained unmoved and remained silent.
Seeing that he was about to be pulled out of the camp, Gao Lan became even more anxious and yelled for mercy. He knew that the result of being pulled out would be death and no chance of survival.
As the saying goes, it is better to live than to die, and Gao Lan obviously did not want to die.
"slow!!"
Just when Gao Lan was about to be dragged out of the camp by Yan Yan, Pang Tong's voice came.
Yan Yan pretended to be better and asked: "Commander, what are your orders?"
Pang Tong did not answer, but looked at Zhang Liao, raised his hands and said: "Sir, Gao Lan is an important figure guarding Yuzhou. With him here, it will be much easier for us to recruit officials from Yuzhou to surrender. Furthermore, with Gao Lan here, the captured Wei army soldiers
It’s easier to handle, please spare his life.”
Gao Lan glanced at Pang Tong gratefully, feeling very happy in his heart.
Zhang Liao pondered for a moment and asked: "Gao Lan, are you willing to surrender to my lord?"
"Yes, yes!"
Gao Lan didn't care about anything else and agreed immediately.
As soon as Zhang Liao waved his hand, soldiers came in immediately and took Gao Lan down. After Gao Lan left, Zhang Liao asked: "Military advisor, Gao Lan's ability is mediocre. It will definitely not work for him to command the army. There is no way to keep such a person."
Yong, what are your plans? Do you really want him to stay in the army?"
Pang Tong said: "General, Gao Lan has a lot to do with whether we can capture Yuzhou quickly. We can't kill him."
"Oh, military advisor, please tell me carefully."
Zhang Liao became interested and asked excitedly.
Yan Yan, Wenpin and Huang Xu also braced themselves and waited for Pang Tong to speak. They had defeated 80,000 Wei troops, but Cao Ren was still stationed in Ancheng and Yuzhou was intact, so it would take a lot of effort.
Pang Tong said solemnly: "I told the general before that the 80,000 Wei army was defeated and Cao Ren's strength was greatly damaged. It is impossible to send out more troops and can only defend. Next, we will gradually encroach on the territory of Yuzhou, but not step by step, but
With Ancheng, the government seat of Yuzhou, as the center, they captured Yingchuan, Runan and other areas on the outskirts of Yuzhou, encouraged Cao Ren, blocked Cao Ren's way to the north for help, and trapped Cao Ren inside Ancheng. Ancheng became an isolated city and did not need
A strong attack can break it open."
After a pause, Pang Tong continued: "With Gao Lan here, you can let Gao Lan go and surrender Yuzhou officials, and you can also make the Wei army think that the situation is over. After all, Gao Lan has surrendered, and it is normal for the rest of the county magistrates and prefects to surrender.
.”
Zhang Liao nodded and said: "Okay, let's do this. Immediately Gao Lan surrenders, the news of the defeat of 80,000 Wei troops spreads out, shakes the morale of the Wei army, and then slowly deal with Cao Ren."
Wenpin, Yan Yan and Huang Xu were gearing up, hoping to capture Yuzhou as soon as possible.
After Yuzhou is pacified, Xuzhou will be next, and then we have to run north. What will the scene be like when the Shu army joins forces?
…
Yuzhou, Ancheng.
In the Governor's Mansion, roars could be heard in the hall.
Cao Ren was furious, and the teacups and other porcelain on the desk were overturned to the ground. Even the desk in the hall was chopped off by Cao Ren with his sword, which shows how angry Cao Ren was.
The civil servants and military officers in the hall were trembling, lowered their heads, and did not dare to speak.
After Cao Ren vented his anger, he gasped and said angrily: "Gao Lan ruined our 80,000 Wei army, and our strength was greatly damaged. Now the Shu army is approaching Yuzhou again, what can you do?"
"General, I have a plan."
The speaker has a pale appearance and thin cheeks, and is already in his fifties. His name is Duan Zheng, and he is an aide under Cao Ren's account, helping Cao Ren make plans.
Cao Ren asked: "Mr. Duan, what do you have to say?"
Duan Zheng said seriously: "As the general said, Gao Lan was defeated and captured, and surrendered to the Shu army. Our army's strength was greatly damaged, which led to the weakening of Ancheng's defense power. We must mobilize troops to defend Ancheng. Sir, please follow
Yingchuan County, Runan County, Chen State, Lu State and other places recruited soldiers to protect Ancheng. Because once Ancheng fell, it would be a clear defeat for the Wei army and there would be no way to recover. As long as you are in charge of Ancheng, there will be no chaos in Yuzhou
.”
Cao Ren nodded in his heart and said with deep approval: "Mr. What you said makes sense. As long as I am still in Ancheng, Yuzhou will not dare to cause chaos and will not cause chaos. Mr. Duan, I will leave this matter to you."
"promise!!"
Duan Zheng bowed his hands and stood back.
Cao Ren calmed down and thought carefully about the next battle.
However, Cao Ren didn't know how to defend Ancheng, which was exactly in line with Pang Tong's plan. With the counties in Yuzhou weakened, it was easier for Zhang Liao to capture the counties in Yuzhou and surround Ancheng in a shorter time.
Everything in Yuzhou is already under Pang Tong's control.
Cao Ren was good at running the army, but he didn't have anyone who was good at planning, making it difficult for him to defeat Pang Tong.
