Quiet midnight. Lan

Yang Er, who was on duty at the gate of the camp, yawned and paced back and forth in the open space. He raised his head and glanced at the dark sky, thinking that it would be better if it didn't rain.

After all, this is just a temporary camp, simply fenced with wooden fences. It doesn't even have a solid arrow tower. When it rains, they, the night watchers, can't get out of the tent, and they have to be soaked until dawn.

"Chief, what do you think is going on over there in Xuanhan?"

On a night like this when you stay up late, time will always fly faster if you just chat. One of the soldiers asked this question that concerned many people.

There was only a horse-rejecting stake at the door. Yang Er looked it over, found a low wooden pole that he could sit on, bent down and sat on it, and looked up at the soldier who asked the question.

"I heard that there was a banditry! A group of thieves killed all the defenders at night, robbed all the wealthy families in the city and escaped."

The soldiers around him didn't believe it. Lan

"How can a group of bandits use our Linjun's troops? Boss, do you know?"

When Yang Eryi heard the soldiers below questioning him, he pulled his neck and stared.

"Why is it impossible? I forgot that Gan Ning, the Jinfan thief, defeated Brazil, Badong, and Bajun, and Mianzhu almost fell at that time. If it weren't for General Zhang Ren's surprise troops descending from the sky, he defeated tens of thousands in one battle Bandit, maybe a member of a certain family will take the position of King of Shu?"

"However, some people say that the Chu army sneaked in disguised as merchants to destroy the trade routes and prevent the rear from sending supplies to the front. Only the officials above know the specific details."

Yang Er curled his lips and decided to change the topic. Otherwise, if he kept asking, he really didn't know the information above.

When the soldiers heard Yang Er's words, they immediately believed him, and then one soldier asked.

"So, the thieves may be Chu soldiers in disguise. Boss, how many people are there in this group?" Lan

"The devil knows! But Yong'an City and Jiangzhou City haven't been lost yet. At most, a few hundred people can sneak in."

"Boss, I understand! Isn't Gan Ning the Xuzhou Mu of Chu State now? There must be remnants of the rebels from back then hiding, and that's what we're here to do this time."

Everyone heard what the soldier said made sense, but before the soldier could finish speaking, there was a burst of wind, hundreds of arrows were blown by like a strong wind, and several soldiers standing outside the door suddenly turned into hedgehogs.

Yang Er was so frightened that he felt like he was dying. He reflexively wanted to stand up, but he hit his head under the slanting wooden thorn of the Juma post and fell to his knees in pain. Only then did he come back to his senses, lay down on the ground and struggled to climb into the village gate, shouting at the top of his lungs.

"The Chu army is coming! The Jinfan army is coming!"

The few soldiers still alive inside the camp hurriedly closed the door, and there were dozens of patrol soldiers from further away who heard the noise and were rushing over.

But it was too late. Lan

In the darkness, countless soldiers of the Chu army rushed towards them. The few remaining guards of the Shu army did not dare to stop them and kept running towards the stronghold. In the blink of an eye, the Chu army withdrew their horses and opened the gate of the stronghold.

"The gate of the village has been lost, and the Jinfan Army came in!"

Hearing the enemy's alarm, Han Zong, who was taking the lead, was immediately furious. He spat, raised his knife and shouted angrily.

"How can General Gan take away our credit even though he is thousands of miles away? Brothers, kill me! Today, I must make the people of Shu remember my reputation as the 'Yulin Army'!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The soldiers of the Yulin Army also held their breath after hearing this, and rushed towards the patrolling Shu soldiers.

Suddenly, fighting broke out and there was chaos. Lan

Here they shouted "Jinfan Army is coming", and there they shouted "Yu Lin Army is coming".

Some Shu troops close to the camp gate still fought back in panic.

Some who were far away from the camp gate had already gone to the back gate of the camp, and the leader was Fei Guan, the prefect of Mianzhu who was leading the army.

Fei Guanke was so frightened that the soldiers below thought he knew Xuanhan's situation, but in fact he was also completely blind.

He only knew that Xuanhan City had been lost and that a thousand defenders had no news. Even if it was a night attack, it would still require one or two thousand people, right?

How did so many enemy troops sneak into the hinterland of Shu?

have no idea. Lan

The news also said that the Chu army robbed several slaves from aristocratic families, totaling four to five hundred people.

He and Deng Xian, who was stationed in Brazil, immediately received orders to lead three thousand troops each to encircle and suppress the Chu army that appeared behind Jiangzhou City.

Everyone thought that there was something wrong with Yong'an. It was very likely that Zhang Ren had surrendered to the Chu army and Ji Shu was about to attack Jiangzhou City.

Fei Guan never expected that this disappearing bandit would actually attack him!

The back gate of the camp was quiet, and the ash forest next to it looked eerie in the night. At this time, ghost fires lit up in the forest.

"Enemy attack!"

The Shu army reacted and hurriedly raised their shields. Lan

The fire arrow fell into the crowd and immediately caused chaos to the fleeing team.

After three rounds of arrow rain, a large number of Chu troops rushed out of the forest, and the man leading them shouted.

"Huo Yi of the Yulin Army is here, the enemy generals should not leave!"

"Back! Back!"

At this time, Fei Guan had already scared away half of the Three Souls and Seven Souls. Seeing Wuyangyang's army coming to kill him, he immediately ordered to retreat to the camp.

This was beyond Huo Yi's expectation. He set up ambushes at key points around him, but there was more than one ambush in the forest. Who would have thought that the enemy troops would shrink back after just one attack!

You should run away! Lan

If you want to escape, at least you can get away with a few people to report the news.

Isn't this a trap now?

Huo Yi was stunned for a moment. He was hesitating whether to gather the ambushes from all over to attack.

Looking at the closed village gate and the Shu soldiers who were facing a formidable enemy, Huo Yi's eyes twitched unnaturally.

"Archers, shoot! Shoot as many rockets as there are for me. Send an order to the brothers who are ambushing in other places to come over and prepare to storm the gate of the village."

At first, Fei Guan shouted "waiting for reinforcements" to support the will of the Shu army, but with the fierce offensive of the Chu army, even he did not believe this.

Facing the enemy head-on, this Shu army may not be able to withstand the Yulin army. What's more, the Shu army in the chaos is missing armor, weapons, bows and arrows, and many soldiers can't find their superiors. Lan

Han Zong killed the Shu army from the front. When Huo Yi broke through the gate of the village on the other side and killed the general, Fei Guan knew that the situation was over.

In the end, Fei Guan surrendered to the Yulin army with seven to eight hundred people.
