Traveling through Chenghan Xiandi, fortunately I have a simulator

Chapter 136
The battle between Guo Si's army and Li Jue's army did not go as smoothly as expected. Dong Zhuo's elite troops, Feixiong Army, are now under Li Jue's command. Even without Li Jue's command, they can still organize an effective confrontation .

Guo Bang was a little impatient, because he knew that the longer the battle here, the higher the chances of Li Jue's other three armies finding out. Once Li Jue's remaining troops were on guard, it would be much more difficult to subdue them.

"Wu Xi, go to Fan Congna and let him participate in the task of encircling and suppressing Li Jue's Chinese army. We don't have much time." Guo Si turned his head and said to Wu Xi.

"Yes, General, this subordinate will go now."

After finishing speaking, Wu Xi pulled the horse and withdrew from the combat area, and turned to rush to where Fan Chou was.

When Fan Chou met Wu Xi, a general of Guo Si's department, he informed Wu Xi of Li Jue's death, and then took the initiative to command the troops to Li Jue's army.

Now that Li Jue had been killed, there was no need to encircle and suppress Li Jue's army. It would be a pity to kill so many elite troops, so Fan Chou's idea was to persuade them to surrender.

However, just when Fan Chou was about to attack, Zhang Bao led thousands of soldiers and horses to kill him from behind.

Fan Chou raised Li Jue's head, and told all his subordinates to shout to Zhang Bao's army, "Your lord Li Jue has been killed by me. I hope you surrender quickly, and I can spare you a life."

It was dark at night, even under the light of torches, Zhang Bao's army in the distance could not tell whose head it was.

Suddenly an arrow shot at Fan Chou's raised hand. It was an arrow from Zhang Bao. While continuing to shoot, he shouted loudly at his subordinates.

"Soldiers and soldiers, this person is playing tricks. The lord has tens of thousands of elite troops. How could he die in his hands? Follow me and rush in to rescue the lord."

Zhang Bao didn't care if it was Li Jue's head or not, he was not that loyal to Li Jue, and Li Jue's death was actually a good thing for him.

Zhang Bao and Zhang Long themselves are brothers, and they served as lieutenants under Li Jue's subordinates. Seeing that Li Jue's army was besieged this time, they also made some plans.

If Li Jue is not dead, they lead the other three armies to rescue the lord, which is a great achievement. If Li Jue dies, they lead the other three armies to seize power by the way, it would be great.

To the north, Zhang Long's troops had also reached the back of Guo Si's army.

Guo Bang's army and Li Jue's army were in a tough battle. Suddenly, the infantry team found someone behind them, and they panicked. The military commanders of the various command troops quickly sent their men to pass the news to Guo Bang in front, and they began to transfer troops. direction, against the enemy forces in the rear.

For a while, Guo Si's army fell into a state of attack from both sides. The reinforcement Fan Chou army he was looking forward to had not arrived here at this moment, so he was a little irritable.

Wu Xi is coming in the distance, but Wu Xi's expression is both happy and sad.

"General, Fan Chou has already killed Li Jue, but he was attacked by Li Jue's subordinates and cannot help us." Wu Xi said angrily.

"Since he killed Li Jue, why didn't he tell the news to Li Jue's generals who came to attack?" Guo Si asked inexplicably.

"General, Li Jue's generals didn't seem to care about Li Jue's death, so they interrupted General Fan Chou's words, and deliberately covered up Li Jue's death from his subordinates. It seems that Li Jue's subordinates have long since had objections."

Wu Xi's words are not wrong. In history, Zhang Long and Zhang Bao did rebel against Li Jue, but their rebellion was planned by Guo Si.

But now, Zhang Long and Zhang Bao's rebellion was also caused by Guo Bang, but they became Guo Bang's enemies instead, which is interesting to think about.

Guo Si was in a terrible mood when he heard the bad news coming from the troops in the rear. Now that Fan Chou's army is not coming to help, his army is facing a double attack.

"Wu Xi, go to Fan Chou quickly, let him lead the army here, and say that with Li Jue's head, Li Jue's army can surrender, and the surrendered Li Jue army will belong to Fan Chou," Guo Si said helplessly. .

"Yes, General, this subordinate will go right away." Wu Xi nodded.

As far as Guo Si was concerned, no matter what, he had to let Fan Choujun come over, because even if he could win the final victory, he might not have many troops left, so he had to let Fan Choujun come over to help, so he thought of this reason.

Whether it is Guo Si or Fan Chou, they are all very greedy for Li Jue's elite troops. Since the rest of the three armies have already turned against them and it is difficult to subdue them, if they can still subdue Li Jue's army, the battle will soon be over.

In fact, Fan Chou's army was not too far away from Li Jue's army, about a kilometer away, so Wu Xi's speed across the battlefield was not slow.

"General Fan, my lord said that if the general brings Li Jue's head to the Central Army, he will definitely be able to persuade Li Jue's Central Army to surrender. My lord will give all the troops of Li Jue's Chinese Army that surrendered at that time to the general." Wu Xi gritted his teeth and said.

From Wu Xi's expression, Fan Chou could see the eagerness of the other party. In fact, it was not that he didn't know Guo Si's difficulties, but he waited for Guo Si to bear the pain and give up. After all, it was Guo Si who attacked Li Jue's troops this time. As an assistant, it is already very good that he can make such a big effort.

"Since General Guo is so generous, I have nothing to say."

"Please go back and tell General Guo that I will lead the army there immediately." Fan Chou said hesitantly.

"Thank you, General." Wu Xi went back again with the confirmation letter.

After Wu Xi left, Fan Chou took four generals and two school lieutenants with a total of 4000 people to support Guo Si's army, while the rest of the army stayed to continue to resist Zhang Bao's army.

After Guo Si got Fan Chou's words from Wu Xi, he gritted his teeth. For tonight's battle, he made a detailed plan and took the initiative to attack Li Jue's army, but in the end he ended up with nothing.

But even so, when Guo Bang saw Fan Chou, the expression on his face was still kind, as if all of this was done willingly by Guo Bang.

The difference from before is that this time Fan Chou did not hold Li Jue's head by himself. He asked his generals to hold Li Jue's head high, and rode around Li Jue's army on horseback, shouting loudly. "Your lord Li Jue is dead. I hope you will surrender immediately. How you are treated in Li Jue's army is the same in our army."

Although Li Jue's army is an elite army, seeing Li Jue dead, the morale of the army has dropped to the bottom. The reason why they can last so long is that they waited for Li Jue to lead the army before returning to them. Unfortunately, it is impossible now .

"We surrender." A general put down the knife in his hand, got off his horse, and shouted loudly.

As the general began to surrender, the soldiers below naturally couldn't raise their hearts to continue to resist. They all began to drop their weapons and waited to be captured.

Li Jue's army was different from Zhang Long's and Zhang Bao's armies. They had no opposition to Li Jue, so once Li Jue died, they lost their motivation to continue fighting.

After stabilizing Li Jue's army, Fan Chou's army cooperated with Guo Si's army to resist Zhang Long's army.

With the blessing of Fan Chou's army, Guo Si's army finally gained an advantage over Zhang Long's army and started a full-scale counterattack.

This battle lasted until dawn. Zhang Long saw that he could not defeat Guo Si's army, so he took the rest of the army to retreat. Zhang Bao did the same. Seeing that he could not win, he also retreated westward. This was what they agreed at the beginning direction of evacuation.

In the morning, Guo Si and Fan Chou went back to the army and counted the casualties.

Guo Si's army has a total of 8000 people, 1000 people were left in the camp, 7000 people were dispatched, 1 people were lost, 3000 people were injured, and the damage was heavy.

Fan Chou's army had a total of 9000 men, 1000 were left in the camp, 8000 were dispatched, 4000 were lost, 3000 were injured, and 6000 of Li Jue's army were captured.

There is no doubt that the biggest beneficiary of this battle is Fan Chou.

After counting the situation on the battlefield, the armies on both sides returned to the barracks again. Unlike Fan Chou's excitement when he returned, Guo Bang's face was drooping, and he didn't even want to respond to the general's greetings.

The Guo Si and Fan Chou armies decided to leave for Liangzhou after the whole army rested for a day.

The guards of Chencang City immediately conveyed the situation to the county magistrate when they saw the tragic situation outside. It seems to have all disappeared.

Although the county magistrate Chencang didn't know what happened, he knew that something must have happened, and most importantly, he could ask for help from outside.

The county magistrate of Chencang once again sent several envoys to the imperial court through different roads from multiple city gates, asking for the imperial court's support.

Guo Si in the military tent became more and more angry as he thought about it. Although he eliminated Li Jue after this battle, as far as he was concerned, he didn't get any benefit.

"Fan Chou, old man, I thought he was an upright gentleman, but I didn't expect him to be an even more treacherous villain." Guo Si cursed loudly.

In fact, this can't be completely blamed on Fan Chou. If it weren't for Guo Bang's support, how could he fall into a state of pincer attack from both sides?

It's just that it's too late to say this now, because all the benefits have been taken away by Fan Chou.

Guo Si cursed so loudly that his general Wu Xi could hear them all outside the army account.

"General, since Fan Chou is not kind to you, why should we be loyal to him? The subordinates have a plan to relieve the general's hatred." Wu Xi walked into the army account and said to Guo Si.

"How?" Guo Si asked in confusion.

"Now that the two armies have won the victory, it is time to celebrate. The general can host a banquet and invite Fan Chou to the army. At this time, I am leading a hundred knives and axes to ambush outside the army account. As long as the general throws the cup, I will rush in immediately." The army account will surely kill Fan Chou, and then the general will be able to take over the army of Fan Chou and Li Jue in an aboveboard manner." Wu Xi said coldly.

"This plan is very clever." Guo Si nodded and said.

"Then hurry up and make arrangements. I'll send someone to invite Fan Chou right now."

"Yes, General." Wu Xi responded.

Fan Chou, who was in the barracks, was excited. He was really happy to get this elite army under Li Jue.

Fan Chou did not refuse Guo Si's invitation to host a banquet.

Although Fan Chou's subordinates tried to dissuade him, how could the proud Fan Chou care about it.

However, before leaving, Fan Chou still told his subordinates that he would leave some servants outside the barracks, and once the servants noticed something abnormal and reported it, they would immediately lead the army to Guo Bang's place.

Fan Chou arrived at Guo Si's barracks with a dozen of his attendants, some of whom stayed outside, and the others followed him into Guo Bang's barracks.

The smile on Guo Si's face was a bit piercing, but at least there was no thorn in the surface.

"Brother Fan, today our two armies have successfully settled Li Jue. At this important moment, my brother will host a banquet to celebrate." Watching Fan Chou walk into the army account, Guo Si said with a smile on his face.

Fan Chou found his own seat, and after sitting down on the floor, several of his attendants stood behind him, looking around.

"Brother Guo, thank you for your idea, I let my brother take advantage of this. You don't blame my brother, do you?" Fan Chou said with a smile.

"How could it be? If it wasn't for my brother's help, maybe I would have died on the battlefield. Why would I want to sit here and drink with my brother?" Guo Si raised his glass and respected Fan Chou.

Guo Si was going to wait for Fan Chou to eat and drink before attacking. He was worried that with Fan Chou's skill, a hundred knives and axes might not be able to take down Fan Chou, but if he used too much, mistakes would easily occur, and Fan Chou would find out in advance.

Guo Si and Fan Chou were talking and drinking, and half an hour passed quickly, whether it was Guo Si or Fan Chou, the drunkenness on their faces became more and more obvious.

At this time, Wu Xi from outside the tent came in, and then he winked at Guo Bang, which meant clearly, that is to say, all his sword and ax hands had been arranged, and he just waited for Guo Bang to give an order. He will immediately rush into the army account.

When Wu Xi left the military tent again, the wine glass in Guo Bang's hand was shaking and a little unstable. Guo Bang let go of his hand, and the wine glass fell to the ground with a loud bang, and even Fan Chou realized that something was wrong.

Wu Xi, who was outside the tent, immediately rushed into the military tent with a knife and axe, and he walked directly towards where Fan Chou was.

Fan Chou immediately sobered up and stood up. At this moment, he understood the purpose of Guo Si's banquet. He took out a long sword and rushed out of the military tent under the protection of his attendants.

"Guo Si, you bastard, you actually want to kill me." Fan Chou said viciously while trying to escape.

It's not that Fan Chou didn't expect to die with Guo Bang, it's just that many swordsmen blocked his way.

If Fan Chou was in his prime, how could the dozens of knives and axes in the military tent stop him? Unfortunately, his mind is now dizzy, his hands and feet are weak, and although he is sober, his mobility is still limited.

Fan Chou brandished the long sword in his hand, and relying on the help of his attendants, he fought his best to fight a bloody road and rushed out of the army tent. Unfortunately, there were more knives and axes outside. Seeing Fan Chou and others, they immediately swarmed jumped up.

The so-called two fists can defeat four hands, Fan Chou's servants died one by one, and he himself was injured a lot. Although he was intoxicated by alcohol, he couldn't feel the pain, but his blood was still flowing.

In the end, Fan Chou fell under the sword and axe.
