Chen Yu's men, women, children and their families were all in the camp, so most of the soldiers did not dare to escape after the attack.
Seeing the general Chen Mu riding a horse and wielding a sword, he ordered to organize resistance. Many soldiers began to get out of the tents and gathered around Chen Mu under the organization of generals at all levels.
With 1,800 men under his command, Chen Mu left his lieutenants behind to continue gathering troops. He took the soldiers and horses he had gathered and rushed to the east camp to rescue the emergency.
Encountering fugitives who refused to listen to dissuasion along the way, Chen Mu also became ruthless and ordered that all officials, civilians and fugitives be killed on the spot.
Arriving at the front line, Chen Mu discovered that although there were hundreds of "Yuan's troops" attacking the camp, the equipment of these Yuan's troops seemed to be similar to that of his men, with different costumes, few armored men, and even less cavalry.
Moreover, these people rushed into the camp and ran around like headless flies without effective organization.
Although the noise was loud, the damage caused was not much.
"It turns out that it wasn't Yuan Jun who came to rob the camp, at least it wasn't Yuan Shu's main force that came!" Chen Mu thought to himself.
After calming down, Chen Mu had an idea and shouted to his generals:
"Don't panic, everyone. The camp robbers are just bandits and grassroots bandits, just under the banner of Yuan Shu!"
"Everyone, come with me and kill these bold gangsters!"
Chen Mu's words were very effective, calming down many of the originally panicked soldiers.
"It turns out it's not Yuan Jun!"
With a wave of his hand, Chen Mu confidently took the lead and rushed towards the camp hijackers.
"Kill, brothers, follow me and kill these bandits!"
When Chen Mu saw that the time was almost up, he took the lead and charged forward with his sword.
Seeing that the general had set an example, more Chen troops rushed forward and quickly blocked Yuan Yaojun's attack from the Dongying Gate.
On the hill in the distance, Yuan Yao looked anxious.
Under Chen Jun's counterattack, Yuan Jun, who feigned an attack from the east gate, continued to retreat due to his numerical disadvantage.
Zheng Bao, who was supposed to attack from the west, still made no move at this time.
Could it be that the eastward raid was launched too early?
Or has Zheng Bao not gone around to the west yet?
"Master, look!"
Yuan Bao suddenly pointed to the camp and saw another large number of Chen troops holding torches rushing to Dongying to join the battle.
But Yuan Jun, who was already weak, began to retreat steadily and would soon be unable to hold on.
As if smelling the scent of victory, Chen Mu and his subordinate Chen Jun only stared at Yuan Jun to the east and attacked fiercely.
Seeing that Chen Jun's attention in the camp was focused on the east, Yuan Yao finally understood.
Just as Yuan Yao thought, Zheng Baocai launched the attack at this time.
The west camp gate was blocked with wood, but this could not stop Zheng Bao, who was well prepared.
More than a dozen vigorous soldiers rushed forward and threw the hook rope, quickly climbed over the fence, killed a few Chen Jun guards who were still looking east, and opened the camp gate directly.
Seeing that his men succeeded easily, Zheng Bao immediately said to Qin Yi beside him: "General Qin just go get Chen Yu, and I will save the brothers to the east!"
Qin Yi was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, General Zheng, for your concession!"
"Come and kill with me!"
Qin Yi gave a loud shout and led his cavalry into Chen Jun's camp.
Chen Yu was sitting in the tent at this time, looking like a prince.
"Report! General Chen Mu has led his troops to counterattack!"
"Report! General Chen Mu has killed several deserters and has stabilized his position!"
"Report! General Chen Mu and his troops are about to drive the thieves out of the camp!"
The more Chen Yu listened, the happier he became, and he said smugly: "What did I just say?"
"It's such a small battle, but you still need me to go into battle?"
Chen Yuduan was shameless. He simply said that he was so panicked that he didn't even bother to put on his armor and wanted to mount his horse to escape. He simply said that he was calm and strategizing, anticipating the enemy's opportunity.
"kill!"
"Capture old thief Chen Yu alive!"
Suddenly, there were waves of shouts of killing coming from outside the tent.
Chen Yu was furious, stood up and walked out to see what was going on.
At this time, a bloody man flew in directly from outside the tent, and then a knight rode directly into the handsome tent.
The knight spotted Chen Yu in his regular clothes at a glance, and immediately urged his horse and pointed his gun straight at Chen Yu.
At the critical moment, some soldiers rushed forward and threw Chen Yu to the ground, saving his life.
The knight didn't stop, he broke through the tent and rushed out from the other side.
At this time, several embarrassed soldiers ran in from outside the tent, shouting: "Yuan Jun's cavalry has arrived!"
Chen Yu got up and shouted: "Where's my horse! Go find my horse!"
Fortunately, only this one cavalryman rushed into Commander Chen Yu's tent by mistake. The other cavalrymen were blocked by Chen Yu's soldiers and had not yet rushed over.
An unsighted soldier thought that Chen Yu was going to wear the armor himself this time, so he quickly brought the armor.
Chen Yu kicked the man away, took the reins from another soldier, got on the horse, patted the horse and left.
Someone close to me hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "My lord, you must not leave. Once you leave, we will be defeated!"
Chen Yu was frightened by the shot just now and cursed angrily: "Can't you see? Yuan Jun's cavalry have all come to me. Isn't it considered defeated?"
"Do I have to die here to be considered defeated?"
Chen Yu drew his sword and threatened everyone not to get close to his mount.
Seeing Chen Yu going crazy, everyone hurriedly moved out of the way.
Chen Yu rode straight away, cursing incessantly:
"Chen Mu, my slave, is trying to trick me into harming me and ruining my big event!"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
…
To the east of the camp, Chen Mu was still excitedly directing his men to attack Yuan Jun.
Chen Jun's enthusiasm was also mobilized by him, and they all thought that the camp hijackers in front were just bandits and bandits.
So everyone rushed to be the first to make meritorious deeds.
This time there was no need for Chen Mu to go into battle and kill. Looking at Yuan Jun who was retreating steadily, Chen Mu only felt that he had a chance to win!
"General Chen, it's bad, Yuan Jun came in from the west again!" Suddenly, a shout from behind interrupted Chen Mu's thoughts as he was imagining rewards after the war.
Chen Mu was furious and hit the person who came to report in the face with a riding crop.
"Didn't I tell you? Those who came are bandits and bandits, just under the banner of Yuan Jun, not Yuan Jun!"
The man had a blood mark on his face for no reason, and he could only lie on the ground and point at the center of the camp.
"There were hundreds of bandits, all on horseback, rushing directly to the lord's tent to kill him!"
"Idiot! How can we call them bandits if they are riding horses? They are horse bandits! They are uneducated people."
Chen Mu whipped his whip again and realized after he finished scolding, which horse bandit could have hundreds of horses?
So I quickly looked at the Central Military Department, and sure enough, it was already in chaos.
The man was crying loudly, and he did not dare to say anything for fear of being whipped again.
Fortunately, there were a few others who escaped with him. A bold one secretly took a few steps back, made sure he was at a safe distance, and then said:
"General Chen, how dare we speak nonsense about a matter of life and death?"
"There are hundreds of grass bandits coming in from the east gate and heading towards us!"
Chen Mu looked to the east, and sure enough there was a Biao army coming towards this direction, shouting to kill.
I was just stunned, so many things happened. Before the enemies from the east gate could be driven out, countless enemies from the west gate came in.
The key point is that his lord Chen Yu is still being besieged by hundreds of cavalry, and Chen Mu just feels that his brain is not enough.
"I will lead people to save our lord, you continue to command here!"
After Chen Mu weighed it for a moment, he still felt that the life of the family leader Chen Yu was more important, so he gave the order to the deputy general beside him.
The deputy general was at a loss and said: "How will the general attack? Should he attack those on the east or the west?"
Chen Mu was even more angry when he saw this brainless lieutenant. He didn't know what the lord liked about him and insisted on making him my lieutenant.
It would have been great to have Na Wanyan serve as my deputy, but I decided to send him to lead the team to collect food!
Before the two of them could talk clearly, Zheng Bao had already led the crowd to kill them.
Okay, now I finally don’t have to make a decision. I’m surrounded from both sides, so I can only fight on my own.
There are very few cavalry among the troops on both sides, so you can tell at a glance which of the generals are the leaders.
Zheng Bao and Chen Mu locked onto each other almost at the same time.
As long as this thief is killed, the battle will be won!
This was the sentiment of both of them at the same time.
The two sides fought together, and Zheng Bao and Chen Mu also took each other's heads directly.
As soon as the two fought against each other, they were clearly distinguished.
Zheng Bao is worthy of being the number one hero who can defeat all the villains in Lujiang. After one round, Chen Mu's sword hand was sore.
The two fought for a few more rounds, and Chen Mu gradually became timid.
Finally, in the fifth round, Zheng Bao decisively changed his moves. Chen Mu was unexpectedly knocked off his horse.
Zheng Bao did not hesitate, jumped off his horse and chopped off Chen Mu's head with a sword. He immediately jumped back on the horse and held Chen Mu's head high.
"You generals have surrendered. Those who surrender will avoid death!"
Yuan Yao, who was standing on the mountain in the distance, was so excited when he saw Zheng Bao killing the five generals that he just wanted to slide on the spot and kneel down to celebrate!
When the sun rose in the early morning, Yuan Jun had already taken control of the entire camp and was cleaning the battlefield.
In this battle, our side suffered nearly 200 casualties, killing and wounding 700 to 800 Chen's troops.
After counting the prisoners, Chen Jun surrendered more than 2,000 soldiers, and there were 4,000 to 5,000 men, women, children, and their assistants and their dependents, and nearly 10,000 hu of grain and grass were seized.
It's a pity that although Chen Yu is old, he escaped very neatly.
Qin Yi didn't notice, but Chen Yu escaped from the camp alone and disappeared without a trace.
Qin Yi had no choice but to come to Yuan Yao again to plead guilty. Yuan Yao was also speechless and could only let Qin Yi tell him what punishment he would receive.
Qin Yi asked to be demoted one level, from General Zhonglang to Captain.
Yuan Yao knew very well that he must be both kind and powerful in order to be a qualified leader.
But I also wanted to give him a chance to make meritorious deeds, so I agreed to his request and allowed him to temporarily replace Zhonglang General with the rank of captain.
Then he was ordered to lead the cavalry and march quickly to Huaipu Ferry to seize the ships and prepare to cross the Huaihe River and return south.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong this time. The Huaipu County defenders knew nothing about the attack on Chen Yu's camp, allowing Qin Yi to grab enough boats and successfully force the boat people to drive the boats to the planned river crossing with Yuan Yao. Place.
I think Chen Yu didn't even dare to return to his hometown in Huaipu, so Qin Yi could easily rob the ship.
Many of Zheng Bao's subordinates were able to act as water pirates on the boat and as bandits when they got off the boat. This time they played a big role.
More than 7,000 people crossed the Huai River within half a day.
Then we kept heading southwest, and as long as we passed through Ping'an County, we were really safe.
There really was a safe county in Guangling County of Xuzhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Yuan Yao did not have the courage of Li Yunlong and did not want to attack Pingan County.
But when the magistrate of Pingan County heard that Yuan Yao had led his army to the county, he immediately came out of the city and surrendered.
This is the farthest county in Xuzhou that Liu Bei can control. When the county magistrate saw the vast army, he thought Yuan Yao was specially coming to attack him, and was so frightened that he immediately offered his seal to beg for surrender.
But when the county magistrate saw that there were only eight or nine hundred Yuan Yao's followers among this seven thousand-strong team, he felt a little regretful.
But before he could truly regret it, a real army of Yuan Shu arrived in Ping'an County.
This 20,000-strong Yuan army was led by Ji Ling, Yuan Shu's number one general, and was specifically here to deal with Yuan Yao.
Lu Su was also in Ji Ling's army, and he acted as the leader this time.
Before Yuan Yao attacked, he had determined the attack and retreat routes with him, so it was not surprising to meet him at this time.
When Ji Ling saw Yuan Yaohao's magnificent results, he couldn't help but be quite shocked.
"You dare to attack Chen Yu with only a thousand men. If I give you ten thousand men, you will dare to attack Liu Bei!"
