Chapter 192
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."

"Woo-woo-woo--"

In the early morning, the dawn had just pierced the darkness before dawn, and the beating of war drums and the sound of high-pitched horns reverberated in the air, officially kicking off the prelude to the decisive battle between the Taiping Army and the Yizhou government army!
Inside the city of Luo, many generals of the Yizhou government and army climbed onto the city wall one after another, condescending, and headed towards the outside of the city. Seeing this, everyone's expressions couldn't help but change in unison!
Looking around, I saw the Taiping army outside the city, densely packed, at least 8 to [-] people, each army formation was rigorously arranged, and all kinds of siege equipment were also very complete, which was not what they expected at all. It is not a chaotic army like the yellow turban bandits, but a regular army that is more rigorous than the official army.

Before the army formation, there were generals of the Taiping Army, and the person at the head was the supreme leader of the Taiping Army, Pingtian Generalissimo Xiao Lan and Xiao Dingtian, and there were leading generals on both sides, lined up, looking very majestic!

Even Jia Long, who is the supreme commander of the Yizhou army, couldn't help sighing when he saw it: "The Taiping bandits are able to sweep the world, and they really deserve their reputation!"

"Hmph!" Hearing that Jia Long praised the enemy army so much, some Yizhou generals from different factions were very displeased and let out a cold snort.

Jia Long glanced around, and saw that the person who spoke was Wu Lan, a general under Dong Fu's hand, and he yelled coldly: "Master Jia said that, it is too much for others' morale and destroys his own prestige. I think this is Taiping. Thieves are nothing more than mediocre! Please let the last generals go out of the city to fight, if necessary, kill some of their generals to dampen their spirit!"

"No!" Hearing this, before Jia Long could respond, Li Yan couldn't help but uttered dissuasion: "General Wu Lan, there are many brave generals among the Taiping bandits, you must not underestimate the enemy like this. !" While speaking, he couldn't help thinking of the scene where Gan Ning fought against Lei Tong, Huang Quan, and Zhang Yi in his mind, and even couldn't help but think of Dian Wei's fierce and invincible terrifying figure, which made him feel uncomfortable. alright.

In terms of force, Li Yan asked himself that he was still above Lei Tong, Huang Quan, and Zhang Yi, but compared to Gan Ning and Dian Wei, he could only smile wryly, because the gap in force between the two sides was too great. huge.

It's a pity that although Li Yan is self-aware, Wu Lan in front of him obviously does not have this understanding. As a general of the Dong Fu faction, he knows that Li Yan is a general of the Jia Long faction. He even believes that Li Yan attacked the Taiping Army's vanguard at night. Returning in a disastrous defeat and almost losing Luocheng was all Li Yan's responsibility. Therefore, he looked down on Li Yan from the bottom of his heart. When he saw Li Yan trying to stop him, he took it as a cold shout: "Master Li Yan, you yourself It’s okay to lose to the Taiping bandits and return in defeat. Why should we exalt those bandits so much? Such cowardice will bring shame on our Yizhou. If you don’t dare to go out to fight, just stay here obediently and watch how we defeat the bandits in the city. , won the first prize!”

While speaking, he passed Li Yan, looked straight at Jia Long, and said loudly: "Lord Jia, please give me an order. The general is willing to take his troops out of the city to defeat the enemy!"

"Oh?" Jia Long let out a chuckle, and immediately said calmly: "Since General Wu Lan insists on asking for a fight, then I have no reason not to allow it. Anyway, let General Wu Lan lead his troops out of the city to fight, and ask the general to show up." Shenwei, capture and kill a few more enemy generals, so as to break the enemy's siege."

"No!" Wu Lan responded and immediately led two lieutenants. He hurriedly descended from the city, ordered his troops to gather together, and prepared to leave the city to fight.

When Li Yan saw this, he couldn't help but frowned. He quickly asked Jia Long: "Sir, the last general has fought against the generals of the Taiping thieves. Although Lord Wu Lan is brave, he goes out to fight so rashly. If he fights against the Taiping Those generals among the thieves will definitely be defeated!"

However, Jia Long waved his hand and refused, "You don't need to persuade me, I have my own plans for this matter."

Li Yan wanted to persuade again, but at this moment, there was only a "squeak" sound, and the city gate under everyone's feet slowly opened. Wu Lan led several deputy generals and five thousand troops of his own, and rushed out in a mighty manner. At the city gate, Jia Long saw this and immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Send my general's order to close the city gate immediately to prevent thieves from taking the opportunity to steal the city!"

"Ah?!" Hearing this, Zhang Ren beside him couldn't help but said, "My lord, is General Wu Lan still outside the city? If the army is defeated as General Li Yan expected, wouldn't this be his way out? "

"Hmph!" Jia Long said coldly: "Don't you know General Li Yan's ability? Lei Tong, Huang Quan, Zhang Yi, none of them are inferior to Wu Lan in terms of ability, but even so, the three Ten thousand troops have been defeated by the Taiping thieves. Since he is determined to die, I don't want to stop him. If any of you still want to go, I won't stop him at all. However, there is one thing. If the army is defeated, don't do it. Thinking I would go out and rescue you.”

Hearing this, the atmosphere on the top of the city couldn't help being stagnant, everyone was silent, only Jia Long sneered: "Do you think I want to do this? But, the big battle is coming, and this battle is related to the life and death of the entire Yizhou , Although we have assembled an army of [-], there are many factions in the army, fighting each other, how can we fight against the enemy with one heart?"

"This..." Zhang Ren wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Wu Yi who was beside him. Wu Yi could see it clearly. It was obvious that Jia Long wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to show his prestige, and he was not only targeting Wu Lan. There are also generals of other factions such as Gao Pei and Yang Huai, whose purpose is to obtain absolute military command.

Under the city, there were many Taiping army troops, Xiao Lan looked up at Luocheng, and was about to send someone forward to scold them. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the city gate opened wide, and he saw a large army of officers and soldiers coming out of the city gate. He couldn't help laughing at Xun You beside him: "It seems that the master's strategy is very effective!"

Xun You said with a smile: "It was just spending some money and some rumors. The Yizhou government and army were originally at odds, so they were divided so easily. However, although this move can weaken the strength of the Yizhou government and army, But it will also promote the internal unity of the Yizhou government army in a disguised form."

Xiao Lan said calmly: "It doesn't matter. The total number of officers and soldiers in Yizhou is only [-]. If we weaken by one point, we will lose one point. This is an advantage for us."

Xun You smiled and said: "My lord, there is no need to persuade me. This plan was devised by me. Naturally, I have already prepared countermeasures. Even if the Yizhou army has completed internal unification, it is only a nominal unification."

"Yes, the internal factions of Yizhou's official army are formed based on the interests of the noble families in Yizhou. They are not so easy to unify." Xiao Lan glanced at the surrounding generals and said: "Later, Who is willing to take the lead in fighting and defeat the enemy general with me?"

Hearing this, Gan Ning, who had just recovered from his injuries, immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "My lord, the last general is willing to fight, take down the enemy general, and dedicate it to the lord!"

Xiao Lan glanced at Gan Ning, and estimated in his heart, Gan Ning's combat power was close to [-], and it shouldn't be a problem to take down the Yizhou general who left the city. However, it was strange that he didn't send the wounded soldiers to the battle since his battle power had not fully recovered, and he comforted him immediately: "Xingba, in the previous battle, you killed two generals from Yizhou. Go out and fight.”

Wei Yan quickly took advantage of the situation and stepped forward, loudly said: "My lord, the last general is willing to fight, take down the enemy general, and dedicate it to the lord!"

Xiao Lan quickly calculated in his mind that although Wei Yan's force was slightly inferior to Gan Ning's, it was still about the same. It shouldn't be a big problem against the Yizhou generals who attacked him. At that moment, he nodded and responded in a deep voice. Said: "Wen Chang is brave, you are enough to fight!"

Even though Wei Yandang wanted to respond, he heard Xun You suddenly say, "General Wei Yan, please capture the enemy general alive, I will be of great use!"

"Huh?" With a deep groan, Xiao Lan turned to look at Xun You, and saw that there was a strange expression on his face. Although he didn't think what kind of tricks he was playing for a moment, he also knew that his move must have something to do, so he hesitated a little. After all, he still asked Wei Yan in a deep voice: "Master Wen, I will give you three thousand horses to help you out, and you must capture the enemy general alive. Are you sure?"

"No problem!" Wei Yan responded with a big laugh, and even under the envious gazes of the generals, he rode his horse out of the column, ordered three thousand fine riders, met the enemy's formation, and rushed out...
