The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 391

The dark clouds in the sky gradually thickened, the wind began to blow in the wilderness, and the humid air indicated that it was going to rain.This would cause the explosive package to be unable to be used outdoors, Di Cang urged his men to speed up.The Uburg firing holes on the left front strafed towards them, and several soldiers who tied explosive packs to the door were shot dead.

He hurriedly asked others to pay attention to concealment, and gave up this Wubao.A soldier brought a long log, hung the explosive package on the top of the log, and picked it into Wubao.After a while, the dynamite package exploded, killing all the rebels in Wubao.Using this method, they solved a few more Wubao.

On the other side, Song Ran and the others marched close to the wall of Wubao, eliminated several Wubao along the way, and cleared a road.

He pointed in the direction of the slope: "Retreat, we don't have enough explosives."

When they fled out of the range of Wubao, the troops assembled by the rebel army chased after them.Di Cang and the others did not retreat in time, and were entangled by the chasing rebels.

They could only rely on the blown-up ruins of Wubao to resist, and Liu Bian led the troops to rescue them along the route they had cleared.

At this time, it was already raining lightly, and Di Cang shouted loudly: "Brothers, hold on, our men will be here soon."

"it is good!"

The rebels who were running towards them were suppressed by them with machine guns 200 meters away, and the torches on the ground were constantly flickering and crackling due to the rain.

Liu Bian kicked a torch in front of him away, armed with a machine gun, rushed to the flank of the rebels from the side, and started shooting at the rebels who were gathered together.

The rebels were caught off guard by his sudden attack, killing and injuring more than a dozen people. Just as they turned their heads and were about to shoot him, Song Ran rushed up with his men.

More than a dozen machine guns fired at them, and the rebels behind could only hide near Wubao and shoot at them, and the troops that followed drove the rebels back.

Repelling the rebels cost Liu Bian the lives of more than 20 people, leaving only six people around Di Cang.The machine guns in Wubaoli in the distance began to fire, and they had no choice but to retreat.

Just as they retreated to the top of the slope, a group of rebels rushed over from the side of the slope. Seeing tens of thousands of people on the slope, they turned their heads and ran away in fright.Song Ran was the first to call out to the soldiers to pursue them. The rebels who fled in all directions on the flat ground had no shelter and were shot and killed in large areas by the officers and soldiers.

As for the few people who escaped successfully, they brought Weitu the news that the large army of officials and troops was hiding on the slope.Weitu hurriedly asked his men to adjust the artillery and shelled the slope.

Fortunately, Liu Bian let the soldiers retreat in time without causing large-scale casualties.But many of their explosives were detonated, causing them to lose the opportunity to continue their attack.

There were still many horses that were disturbed. The soldiers were busy chasing the horses and were temporarily unable to organize an attack.

"Let's retreat, these Wubao can't be dealt with without heavy artillery." Liu Bian looked at Wubao in the distance with sharp eyes and said.

"Yes, General."

Di Cang and Song Ran began to organize the soldiers to retreat. They wanted to find Du Yu. The two sides joined forces and looked for opportunities to annihilate the enemy.

On the other side, Du Yu and the others had already dealt with the chasing rebels, and they were galloping in the direction where Liu Bian and the others were.The two sides met at Yangjiawa in the northwest of Nanling. After Liu Bian told Du Yu the order to adjust the direction of attack, he prepared to take the troops to the forest behind the village to rest.

At this time, it was raining heavily, and the road started to become muddy. They were not moving fast, and finally entered the mountain forest after an hour.

The horses were handed over to the soldiers brought by Du Yu from the Huns to take care of them, and they rested in the huge caves on the back mountain. Firearms were easily ineffective in rainy days, and they could not carry out large-scale battles until the rain stopped.

"General, where are we going next?" Du Yu saw Liu Bian staring at the map in front of him, so he asked.

Liu Bian pointed to Xitun on the map and said, "Shi Yuansi and the Kong family's army will definitely pass by Xitun. Let's go there to surprise him."

When he heard that he was going to fight again in Xitun, Di Cang said: "General, there must be tens of thousands of people in their family. Can our small force stop them?"

"You don't need to block them, just keep defending and slow down their marching speed. I guess the imperial reinforcements should be arriving soon." Liu Bian said slowly.

Hearing Liu Bian's conversation, Du Yu knew in his heart that Li Cunxiao's army should be arriving.As long as they can hold them back, when Li Cunxiao leads the army to arrive, with the quality of the soldiers under his command, he will definitely be able to defeat the rebels.

"Okay, then I will lead people to set off now, and rush to Xitun first, and build fortifications there."

Liu Bian shook his head: "No, it's raining too much now, and you won't be able to build fortifications when you go. And the rebels will also stop to rest. If it rains for several days in a row, they won't be able to go fast."

Everyone rested overnight, and the rain showed no sign of stopping the next day.Di Cang inserted a steel knife into the soil, and easily sank half a foot. It seemed that the heavy rain last night had completely watered the ground.

They can't go to Xitun on horseback now, the soft and muddy ground will make it difficult for them to move.We can only hope that the rebels will not leave quickly, otherwise, when Li Cunxiao and the army of the Protectorate of the Western Regions arrive, they will face nearly a million rebels.

In the end, even if the frontier army is mobilized to return to aid, it may not be in time.

"General, I will take people to Xitun on foot first. If we see a large rebel force, we will withdraw." Di Cang said to Liu Bian, cupping his hands.

He was very anxious now, the rain outside did not show any signs of decreasing, and they could only be trapped in the mountains and forests.The caves are not big enough, and many soldiers are exposed to the wind and cold in the forest.

Moreover, Yangjiawa is not a place to stay for a long time. I am afraid that the rebels will soon find their traces. If they are trapped on the mountain, they will be in danger.

Hearing that Di Cang was going to take people to investigate, Liu Bian shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate for you to go. You and Du Yu will take the troops to rest here. Let Song Ran take a few people to have a look, and be careful to avoid them along the way. Don't let the traitors get caught. The army is summoned."

Song Ran deliberately refused. He wanted to stay with Liu Bian, but when he turned around and thought, these were all warriors charging into battle. It was really not as good as him to let them do the investigation.

So he bowed his hands and said goodbye to Liu Bian, and led a few people out of the cave, thinking about going to the top of the mountain.

As long as you pass this mountain, you can reach Xitun by walking another [-] miles.

"Quick, quick! Speed ​​up!"

In the rain, an army with the Li character flag was marching in a hurry. A general stood beside the team and shouted loudly, urging the soldiers to speed up the march.

The army behind them couldn't see the end at a glance, moving forward at an extremely fast speed like a giant python in the rain.
