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

Chapter 387 Torture and interrogation, the inside story of the rebels

After crossing the river, Song Ran was not in a hurry to go to the rebel camp.Instead, he made a detour along the river embankment to the side of the rebel camp. He wanted to go directly to the rear of the rebel army.When the sky is about to dawn, come back and grab a tongue for interrogation.

Along the way, Song Ran concealed his whereabouts, and there were no guard posts behind the rebels. Presumably, they didn't think anyone could bypass their position.Just when Song Ran was about to return, there was a vibration on the ground and the sound of horseshoes in the distance.

He hurriedly climbed up the big tree beside him and squatted on the branch.

After a while a troop of cavalry galloped across the road under the trees, followed by a cart drawn by horses and oxen.The above are all artillery pieces, no fewer than ten artillery pieces.It seemed that there were still a lot of shells, which made Song Ran's heart sink.

If the rebels are allowed to put these artillery pieces on their positions, it will be a huge obstacle to the next actions of several parties.Coordination of infantry and artillery is not difficult for these rebels who are from the official army, and several parties may lose thousands of people.

Their soldiers died one by one, and there was no chance to replenish them.Now it is impossible for him to destroy the artillery alone, so he can only return as soon as possible to inform Liu Bian, and launch an attack before the rebels finish setting up the artillery.

He saw the opportunity and followed the troops transporting the artillery close to the rebel position.Knock out a rebel who came out to pee with the back of a knife, take him to the river, tie the rebel with the rope he brought when crossing the river, and push him across the river.

"General, I'm back." Song Ran continued while twisting his clothes, "Ten heavy artillery have arrived from the other side, should we act first?"

"Where is the stand?" Liu Bian asked, pulling the simple sand table on the ground with a branch.

Song Ran stretched out his finger and put a stone on the corner of the sand table: "In this position."

Looking at the position of the stone, Liu Bian nodded and said to Teng Xing'an, "Can our cannon hit it?"

After thinking about the distance in his mind, Teng Xing'an said, "It should be no problem, it's within our range."

"Then blow up their guns and let the brothers hit the mark."

"Yes!"

Teng Xing'an went down with his hands to lift the tarpaulin of the artillery, adjusted the shooting angle, and took out shells one by one from the ammunition box.They want to use the heavy artillery on hand to cover the artillery of the rebels.

These heavy artillery can play a role in the Xiaojiehe battlefield. Once the rebels are defeated, Liu Bian has no extra men to transport the artillery.

"General, the captives have confessed. They only have these 3 horses, and the leader is Guo Jianxiu, who was originally a famous bandit in the East China Sea. He didn't hear that there were reinforcements. Wang Fan asked them to seize Xiaojiehe. They thought we only had Thousands of people." Song Ran walked over with his sleeves rolled up and said, judging by his appearance, the rebel prisoners were probably tossed by him a lot.

After silently mourning for a second, Liu Bian said with a smile, "Go and tell General Du to prepare them for battle. When the cannon fires from our side, hold the two bridges and let them rush over."

"Yes!" Di Cang agreed, let his soldiers enter the position, and sent a cavalry to inform Du Yu.He didn't know at this time that the one leading the army behind him was Du Yu, who had recently gained fame. He only knew that it was a general surnamed Du.

After receiving Liu Bian's order, Du Yu hurriedly got his men ready to fight.The two bridges on the Xiaojie River are stone bridges, and there is no problem with the load.One of them can accommodate four cavalry to charge side by side at the same time, and he is preparing to charge from here with his personal guards.

After receiving the order that everyone had prepared, Liu Bian asked Teng Xing'an to fire.

"Boom boom boom" twelve artillery pieces fired at the same time, three rounds of rapid fire, and the shells exploded on the rebel positions.

Three cannons were hit directly and were blown to pieces.Almost all the rebel artillery who were busy setting up guns were killed, and a shell fell on the shell boxes piled up on one side, causing the shells to explode.For a while, the sound of explosions continued, and the entire rebel artillery position was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

Guo Jianxiu was lying in the trench without daring to raise his head. Now that the sound of the artillery had stopped, he looked at the artillery positions engulfed in flames, and his eyes were about to burst with anger.

This is what he got from Wang Fan with great difficulty, but it was destroyed by the officers and soldiers without firing a single shot.Angrily, he asked his men to gather their troops to attack the positions of the officers and soldiers.

Just as they were regrouping, Du Yu rushed across the bridge with his personal guards. The rebel sentries only had time to call for reinforcements, and Du Yu led his men to kill them all.Behind them were nearly [-] cavalry, and they began to cross the bridge in an orderly manner.

The cavalry who reached the other side of the river quickly spread out their formation.Charged towards the rebel position, Guo Jianxiu hurriedly sent his cavalry to meet the enemy.He led his infantry into the trenches, trying to stop the cavalry of the officers and soldiers rushing over.

But the artillery fire from the government troops did not stop, plowing through the rebel positions as accurately as plowing the ground.At this time, the frightened rebels had already begun to flee to the rear of the position.

Although Guo Jianxiu's subordinates shot and killed many deserters, they couldn't stop the large-scale rout.None of their cavalry could get close to Du Yu, and they were wiped out by the cavalry of the official army.

Seeing that something was wrong, Guo Jianxiu wanted to run away.He was overtaken by the officer cavalry and fell to the ground with the butt of his gun.

Di Cang couldn't squeeze past Du Yu's men, and couldn't cross the river, scratching his head anxiously.After finally following Liu Bian across the river, he didn't expect the battle on the other side to be over.

"These cavalry are so tough!" Di Cang said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.

Song Ran behind him patted him, pointed at Du Yu and said, "Do you know who that is?"

"Who?"

"Pian general Du Yu."

Hearing Du Yu's name, Di Cang couldn't help but gasped: "Why did this killing god come here?",

Song Ran smiled and said nothing, Liu Bian had already urged his horse to come to Du Yu's side: "Let our people continue to hunt, if they have reinforcements, he will definitely go to ask for them. Let's follow behind, as long as the number is right, we just eat them.

Next, our troops will be divided into two groups, each with [-] cavalry, aiming to wipe out the rebel forces.As long as you are in danger, retreat immediately and don't love to fight. "

"The last general obeys!" Du Yu bowed his hands and saluted, and then led his troops to chase the fleeing rebels.

Liu Bian glanced at Guo Jianxiu who was kneeling beside him, then turned to Song Ran and said, "Take care of our General Guo."

Song Ran nodded with a smirk, pulled his hair aside and dragged him aside, and soon there was a miserable howl.The means of prevention are very cruel.He also likes to study the instruments of torture. Liu Bian has seen his torture room, and the walls are full of various instruments of torture.

There was a chamberlain in the palace who stole the prince's personal belongings and refused to acknowledge them alive. Since they were given by Bao Si, the chamberlain handed him over to Song Ran. After one night, he was even blamed for peeing his pants at the age of 15. .
