super apocalypse

Chapter 188
Now that Berkshire has fallen, the gate of Yizhou has been opened. Xiao Lan is not in a hurry to enter the army, but instead cleans up the soldiers and horses in the surrounding areas of Berkshire, and takes full control of Berkshire. Yan Yan's surrender makes all this go very smoothly .

After Xun You finished dealing with the affairs of Jingzhou and was ordered to come to Berkshire, Xiao Lan immediately ordered Gan Ning to be the left vanguard with [-] elite soldiers to go out to Luocheng, and Wei Yan to be the right vanguard with [-] elite soldiers to go out to Luocheng. When Jiang went to Luocheng, Dian Wei led five thousand elite riders to support the two vanguards, and Xiao Lan personally led an army of fifty thousand to march in the middle.

A county town on the way from Bajun in Linjiang City to Luocheng. However, this county town is very large. According to reports from spies, there are [-] defenders in this city. Wei Yan, who was robbed of Yan Yan by Gan Ning, now only hopes to have a good fight with this guy.

It's a pity that Wei Yan marched all the way in a hurry and drove for two days. When he arrived at Linjiang, he found that the defenders in Linjiang City had long since disappeared!Wei Yan deliberately asked people to find the people in Linjiang City to inquire, and only then learned that after the news that the Taiping Army had breached Ba County some time ago, Lei Tong, the guard of Linjiang City, withdrew early with [-] defenders Linjiang City.

Hearing this, Wei Yan couldn't help but feel very depressed. Although he is a pioneer, it is impossible for him to go all the way to Chengdu like this!At the farthest point, it can only stop when it reaches Luocheng, and wait for Xiao Lan's follow-up army to come and gather its forces before it can fight the decisive battle with the Yizhou army.

Troubled, the battle still had to continue, Wei Yan led the vanguard army into Linjiang City, and immediately sent a message to Xiao Lan's army in the rear, asking for countermeasures.

On the other hand, Gan Ning also rushed to FL with a large army. Like Wei Yan, he also encountered the treatment of people leaving the city and emptying the city. He occupied FL with almost no effort.However, after all, he is no better than Wei Yan. Following Xiao Lan's expedition to the north and south, he even presided over the huge battle for Yangzhou and Jingzhou. He has become more mature and able to take charge of his own. journey.

Gan Ning didn't know why Yizhou's officers and soldiers gave up these cities so easily. He asked many people to inquire, but he still couldn't find out why, and couldn't figure out the joints. But Gan Ning would not stop because of this. Not going forward, but just in case, before marching, he sent hundreds of scouts to scout the road ahead to make sure there was no problem before moving on.But until he had approached Luocheng, nothing unexpected happened.

Luocheng is the most difficult pass leading to Chengdu. If you take Luocheng, the road behind will be clear. At that time, the Yizhou army will definitely have a final decisive battle with the Taiping army. Therefore, as long as you take Luocheng, the vanguard The mission of the army can be regarded as completely completed.

Gan Ning looked ahead anxiously. It was approaching dusk. He had already ordered his soldiers to set up camp on the spot and prepare to rest. Most of the scouts he had sent out before had returned, but none of them had received any useful news. What's the matter!
Thinking of this, Gan Ning felt relieved and turned around to return to the camp. But at this moment, a Taiping soldier who had been guarding behind him suddenly widened his eyes, looked outside the camp, and exclaimed: : "General, look!"

"Hmm?" Gan Ning murmured, looking back, and saw several cavalry rushing back towards the camp. Gan Ning's eyesight was not bad, and he could tell at a glance that this was exactly the scout he sent to get rid of. However, these scouts obviously had wounds on their bodies!

"There is a situation!" Gan Ning, who was a little lax just now, suddenly tightened his face, and hurriedly shouted to the guards behind him: "Pass me the general order! The whole army is on alert!"

Hearing the general order of Gan Ning, the guard soldier was slightly startled, but quickly realized, took the military order, turned around and left.

Gan Ning personally led the rest of the guards to the gate of the camp. After a while, those scouts had already rushed back. When they saw Gan Ning, they couldn't help but look relieved. He fell from his back and fell to the ground, blood spurted wildly, and he convulsed.

Seeing this, Gan Ning quickly stepped forward, supported the wounded soldier, and said: "Quick! Take him to the military doctor for treatment!"

"No!" Several guards quickly carried the seriously injured scout off, and the rest of the scouts also jumped off their horses one after another. They all had some wounds on their bodies, and the blood had already soaked the sides of the wounds. However, they didn’t care about these at this time, and even a scout stepped forward and clasped his fists and shouted: "General! It’s not good! In the direction of Luocheng, Yizhou officials and troops are gathering on a large scale. They seem to be trying to fight with our army." A decisive battle is taking place on the front line of Luocheng, and there are already a large number of vanguard troops marching towards us."

"Huh? The Yizhou government army is gathering?" Gan Ning's face changed. Although he had expected it in his heart, he couldn't help being surprised when he heard the news from the scouts, and quickly asked: "How many people are there in the enemy army? How far is it from here?"

The scout hurriedly replied: "The villain's preliminary estimate is that the number of enemy troops is at least ten thousand, or even more. The time when the villain encountered the enemy army was about an hour ago. Calculated according to the distance, I'm afraid it will take less than half the time." In an hour, the enemy army will approach our camp."

Gan Ning frowned. He originally thought that the Yizhou government army would be forced to fight the Taiping army after the Taiping army broke Luocheng, but he did not expect that the Yizhou government army had already made a plan, and they wanted to To fight the Taiping army on the front line of Luocheng, it seems that those Yizhou officers and soldiers who disappeared from towns such as FL before should be gathered on the front line of Luocheng. !
"Pass my general order, the whole army is ready to meet the enemy!"

The Taiping Army is no longer the miscellaneous army it used to be. After long-term training and repeated battles, the current Taiping Army can definitely be called an elite army that is rare in the world.Therefore, although Gan Ning's generals were a little hasty, the Taiping army moved very quickly. Soon, [-] vanguard troops had already stood in front of the camp.

The best defense is to attack. Although according to the intelligence of the scouts, the opponent may have more troops than the Taiping Army, Gan Ning is absolutely confident that he can defeat the enemy!
The Taiping Army's formation could only stand still for a moment, and there was a cry of killing in front of them. Under the setting sun, I saw a huge army rushing towards the Taiping Army!

At the front of this army, several flags were fluttering in the wind. Gan Ning had strong force and extraordinary eyesight. Most of the flags had a big "Li" written on them!

"Li? It should be Li Yan, the soldier and horse captain of Luocheng, right? Unexpectedly, the Yizhou government army really wants to fight the Taiping army here!" A cold light flashed in Gan Ning's eyes, and the long knife in his hand was gripped even tighter. Tight, he immediately said coldly: "Come on, since you have the guts to come, I will let you come and go."

Seeing the Taiping army lined up neatly in front, the Yizhou government and army had expected it. The vanguard general Li Yan couldn't help but praise: "As expected, he is indeed a Taiping thief who can sweep the world. In a short period of time, he was able to Listing such a lineup is really not to be underestimated!"

"My lord! It's just a mere peace bandit. What's the difference from the Yellow Turban Bandit back then? I'll let the last general lead the troops to charge the battle later, and I'm sure to defeat the enemy with one blow!" Right behind Li Yan, a young general with a gun He immediately shouted loudly, obviously dissatisfied with Li Yan's praise of the Taiping Army.

"Presumptuous!" Li Yan immediately glared at the young general with the gun and said coldly: "The Taiping Army can sweep the world, how can we take it easy? Even the old general Yan Yan was defeated, how can we underestimate him in the slightest? ? Even though our army has a slight numerical advantage, we may not be able to win in a frontal attack? Fortunately, Mr. Jia has already set up a plan, we just need to obey the order and attack the enemy's formation! "

While speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the [-] troops under his command, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "All the soldiers obey the order, the whole army goes out and attacks the enemy's formation!"
