The Nameless of the Common Clans

Early the next morning, Gao Lan led his troops to detour to the rear of Yangping to cut off Yuan Tan's grain road. Gao Lan was not good at conspiracy, but strategically, Gao Lan's move was no problem. What Yuan Shang wanted now was a quick victory. , Yuan Tan must be defeated as soon as possible to solve Jizhou's next troubles.

But as far as Yuan Tan is concerned, he has the same idea, but he can't beat him. Now that he has been cut off from the food road, he is even more unbearable.

"Didn't Gongze say that Gao Lan could be surrendered? How could this be so!?" In Yangping City, seeing Gao Lan detour and running out of food, Yuan Tan could not help but send troops at this time, and Yuan Tan poured out his resentment on Guo Tu.

"Peace, my lord!" Guo Tu frowned and said, "It stands to reason that Yuan Shang should have responded, but now that Gao Lan has openly divided his troops, it is obvious that strong reinforcements have come from the camp and have taken away Gao Lan's military power."

At this point, Guo Tu's eyes lit up: "My plan has come true. I'm afraid the guard general in this camp has been replaced by a senior official."

Although Yuan Shang has many soldiers and generals, there are only a few who can be regarded as generals, including Zhang He, Gao Lan, Han Meng, and the veteran Han Qiong. In addition, there are also Qian Zhao, Jiang Yiqu, and Sui Yuanjin. Now, except for Gao Lan, all of them are Facing the enemy on all sides, unable to spare his hands, the only people around Yuan Shang who can still be trusted are probably high-ranking cadres.

Guo Tu looked at Yuan Tan and said: "Now the general guarding the camp must be a high-ranking cadre. The lord should know this person better than me. Although he is the nephew of the late lord, when it comes to the way of being a general, he is just mediocre. , this person will definitely not be as good as Gao Lan in commanding the troops. At this moment, he can order A partial army intercepted Gao Lan's return. The lord personally led the army to attack the enemy camp. As long as the main force of the enemy army was defeated, then Gao Lan would have another general. He only had more than 10,000 troops under his command. How could he be the lord's opponent? Go straight to Yecheng!”

Yuan Tan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded immediately and said: "As the public rules say, come and pass on my military orders. The three armies must assemble and follow me to break the camp!"

At present, in Yangping City, Yuan Tan left a general to guard the city. At the same time, he kept an eye on Gao Lan and led his three armies out of the city to go straight to Yuan Shang's camp.

On the other side, Yuan Shang was a little surprised after learning that Yuan Tan sent troops: "Brother, you look down on me so much?"

He left Gao Lan's 10,000 side troops alone and actually took the main force here. How much did he look down on himself?

"Lord!" Tian Feng said with a smile: "Yuan Tan may have thought that his plan was successful and General Gao was seized of power. In his opinion, it is General Gao who is in charge of the camp now, not the Lord."

Yuan Shang was startled when he heard this, and then he realized, no wonder his brother was so bold. Although a high-ranking official was not incompetent, when it came to marching and fighting, he was probably not as powerful as his brother. He looked at Tian Feng and Jushou and said, "That's it." Facing the enemy?"

"No rush!" Jushou said with a smile: "Since the eldest son has mistaken the lord for a high-ranking general, I might as well make the mistake right later."

"Oh?" Yuan Shang looked at Jushou: "How can you make a mistake?"

"You can raise the banner of a high-ranking general and order Guo Yuan to lead his army to fight. In addition, two generals, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, will lead an army each and lie down outside the camp. Let General Guo Yuan pretend to be defeated and lure the eldest son to pursue him. Wait for him to attack. When the enemy arrives, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang attack from both sides and attack the enemy's rear, disrupting their position and morale. The lord personally directs Guo Yuan to lead the army to counterattack. When the three armies attack together, there is no need to worry about the rebels not being defeated." Jushou said with a smile.

Unlike Guo Tu who only knows how to study people's hearts, Tian Feng and Ju Suo are not only good at making plans. They are also quite accomplished in the art of war. Yuan Tan is now taking the initiative to send troops. It can be said that he respects the wishes of these two people and can take this opportunity. , defeating Yuan Tan's main army in one fell swoop.

"Good!" Yuan Shang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded immediately: "Guo Yuan!"

"The last general is here!" Under the tent, a general strode out, it was Guo Yuan.

This person is Yuan Shang's favorite general. Although he is not as famous as Zhang He and Gao Lan, he is the talent that Yuan Shang attracted when he established his own power. Not only does he come from a famous family, but he is also proficient in military strategy and martial arts. He is a rare and good general. , has always been regarded as a confidant by Yuan Shang.

"I order you to lead an army of 20,000 to fight Yuan Tan, and lead him to the camp according to the words of the Duke and Sir!" Yuan Shang took out a command arrow and handed it to Guo Yuandao.

"General, take your orders!" Guo Yuan took the command arrow with both hands, bowed and stepped out!

"Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang!" Yuan Shang looked at the other two generals and took out two more command arrows.

"The general is here!" Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang each took a step forward and bowed.

"Each lead five thousand troops and hide outside the camp. Just watch the trumpet sound here and immediately rush out from both sides. Don't pay attention to Guo Yuan. You two will directly attack the rebel army's rear formation and disrupt their position!" Yuan Shang handed two command arrows to the two of them and shouted in a deep voice.

"General, take your orders!" Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang quickly bowed and took the arrows, agreed, and left to prepare.

"The rest of the generals, follow me to the camp gate to watch the battle!" Yuan Shang stood up, looked at the remaining generals, and said with a smile.

"Here!" the generals agreed, and surrounded Yuan Shang, Tian Feng, and Jushu all the way to the camp gate.

Outside the courtyard gate, Guo Yuan has led his troops to fight out and face Yuan Tan's army several miles away.

When Yuan Tan saw that troops were sent to fight, he was not surprised but overjoyed. He immediately led his troops to attack Guo Yuan's army. The two armies fought several miles outside the camp. Looking from the camp gate, it looked like two torrents colliding together. It's so far away that I can't see clearly The specific situation is, but the sound of people and horses fighting on both sides shocked the world. You can see arrows flying into the sky, horses neighing, the sound of fierce collision of weapons and the tragic sound of fighting. Even though they are several miles away, you can still feel the tragedy.

Fake defeat is a skill. If it collapses at the first touch, it will not only make the other party wary, but it is also easy for oneself to be really defeated. When encountering ruthless people, sometimes the fake defeat may turn into a real defeat.

Guo Yuan was indeed quite good at commanding troops. He fought with Yuan Tan for a full hour, and after being gradually put at a disadvantage by the opponent's superiority in numbers of troops, he began to organize his troops to fight and retreat. Although he appeared defeated, he It was a defeat but not chaos. Looking from a high place, although Yuan Shang's troops and horses continued to retreat, they were defeated in an orderly manner and did not appear to be completely in disarray.

But on Yuan Tan's side, after realizing that the opponent was defeated, he persisted in pursuing and fighting, hoping to completely defeat the enemy in one go.

Above the camp gate, Yuan Shang watched with a solemn expression as Guo Yuan gradually attracted the opponent's soldiers and horses to approach. Although the strategy had been decided, if there was the slightest mistake at this time, the whole side might be defeated before Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang took action. At that point, everything will be lost.

Yuan Shang is also a man who knows soldiers. He knows very well that there is no absolute chance of victory on the battlefield. Especially when the strength of both sides is similar or even the other side is much higher than him, it is possible that a small change can lead to a complete victory. Everyone loses, so he doesn't dare to slack off at all.

Compared to Yuan Shang's cautiousness, Tian Feng and Jushu looked at this scene and both breathed a sigh of relief. Guo Yuan performed well and successfully lured Yuan Tan here, but did not cause the computer room troops to collapse.

"Lord, it's time!" Jushou suddenly turned his head, looked at Yuan Shang and said with a smile.

Yuan Shang nodded, waved his hand and said: "Sound the horn!"

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

The exciting horn sounded, and the camp gate opened wide at Yuan Tan's feet. The last two thousand men and horses in the camp, led by the general, fought out, attracting the opponent's attention. At the same time, two generals, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, led their respective troops to kill from the rear of the camp. As soon as the two generals came out, they led their troops to bypass Yuan Tan's main force and went straight to the opponent's rear formation.

At the same time, Guo Yuan, who had been retreating, personally committed suicide in front of the formation to boost morale when he heard the horn. He waved his weapons and was at the forefront of the sand disaster. Yuan Tan was not prepared for the opponent's counterattack and was killed by surprise. At the same time, Lu Kuang and Lu General Xiang Er attacked the weak point in the opponent's rear. Yuan Tan's bows and arrows suddenly stopped, but Yuan Shang's army quickly released arrows at the opponent's rear formation.

For a moment, the situation reversed. Yuan Tan's rear formation was in chaos. The soldiers in front only knew that they were ambushed by the opponent, but they did not know how many troops there were. The morale of the army, which was originally so powerful, suddenly declined, but the troops in the rear formation were not. They continued to surge forward, and with the entry of Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, the formation was in chaos for a while. Thousands of troops heard the sound of fighting from behind, and the morale of the troops was even more chaotic, and their morale dropped again.

Guo Yuan took advantage of the situation and commanded his troops to fight back. As their morale waxed and waned, the soldiers led by Guo Yuan became more and more courageous as they fought. On the contrary, Yuan Tan's side gradually collapsed. Even though Yuan Tan kept calling for peace, under siege from three sides, The morale of the army was in chaos. It would be difficult to turn things around on the battlefield at this moment. At least Yuan Tan didn't have the ability yet.

Looking at the opponent's gradually collapsing military formation, Tian Feng and Jushu showed smiles on their faces. This battle was considered a victory, and a great victory at that.

On the battlefield, as Yuan Tan's army continued to collapse, the military formation finally collapsed. Guo Yuan personally led his army to the front, like a sharp sword, and was as powerful as a sword, killing Yuan Tan's army and making them run away with their heads in their hands. The entire army formation This is a complete collapse.

Yuan Tan shouted angrily, but the situation was over. Among the rebels, he was escorted by his personal guards and retreated towards Yangping.

However, Yuan Shang was not willing to let him withdraw so easily. He sounded the horn again, this time it was the horn for the whole army to charge. For a moment, Yuan Tan's army was completely defeated, but Yuan Shang was as powerful as a tiger, chasing after him all the way. The corpses of Yuan Tan's army who were directly killed were scattered all over the field, and blood flowed into rivers. Yuan Tan fled all the way to Yangping. In the direction of Yangping, Gao Lan discovered that Yuan Tan led his army here and quickly led his troops to come to the rescue, but Yuan Tan left him behind. The soldiers and horses stopped him, and after a fight between the two sides, the defender lost to Gao Lan and was killed. However, he encountered Yuan Tan who was defeated and retreated.

Seeing Gao Lan blocking the way, Yuan Tan dared to fight, so he quickly led the remaining troops to bypass Yangping and fled.

Upon seeing this, Gao Lan hurriedly pursued Yuan Tan to prevent Yuan Tan from retreating to Yangping through other city gates.

Yuan Tan had no choice but to abandon Yangping and flee eastward. Gao Lan and Guo Yuan joined forces and chased for thirty miles before returning to the camp. The Yangping garrison saw his lord defeated and fled. The Yangping garrison was defeated by Gao Lan and lost all morale. How to defend it, we have to open the city and surrender.
