Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

8 Chapter Forty

Song Qian and Hao Pu fought for more than ten rounds, but they didn't have a life-threatening ultimate move. Their movements became slower and slower, and most of their strength was quickly consumed.

Lan Tian and Lu Fan saw that it was boring to continue fighting, so they waved the command flag at the same time and called back their generals.

Lu Fan considered that Song Qian was too old, so he sent General Suichun to fight, and Lantian sent Mi Fang, the prefect of Changsha.

Ever since Mi Fang lost to Shamoke in Wuling, his brother Mi Zhu has urged him to practice martial arts diligently, and he has not failed in the post of prefect over the years.

Mi Fang had long been eager to try, and Lan Tian finally gave him the chance.

Sui Chun and Mi Fang's highlights are not exciting, but both sides have absorbed the shortcomings of the previous match, and at the same time abandoned the wrestling link, and both want to knock each other down with their skills.

The two fought for fifteen or six times, Mi Fang turned around and feigned defeat. Sui Chun pursued and was stabbed in the thigh by a carbine, causing the pain to fall from the horse.

Xian Yudan and Wu Shuo flew to rescue Wu Jun, but Mi Fang didn't have time to make up a shot, so she had to return to the battle angrily.

"It's too early..." Seeing that Mi Fang turned around too early and was in a hurry, Lan Ji unknowingly expressed his own judgment. He thought that if Mi Fang fired back slowly, maybe that shot would hit Sui Chun's vitals.

"Fu Jun..." Mi Fang didn't behead the general, and came to see Lan Tian with a blushing face.

Lan Tian encouraged Mi Fang to stay in front of the formation to rest.

The guard Gao Yuan really couldn't stand it any longer, so he cupped his fists and asked for a job: "Sir, why don't I try?"

"Go to Zhongling." Lan Tian shook his head and casually called Lan Ji.

"Father, me?" Lan Ji suddenly became excited.

Lan Tian knew that Lan Ji was good at martial arts, but he still told him like an old father: "Remember to be calm later, if you find that you are invincible, it is not shameful to admit defeat and return."

"Okay, I'll listen to you..." Lan Ji straightened his clothes, and led the horse out of the battle with the Canglong Pojun halberd.

"With these rotten fish and rotten shrimps, who can stop the second son?" Gao Yuan covered his mouth after speaking, because Hao Pu didn't get any cheap just now.

Lan Tian glared at Gao Yuan and reprimanded: "The battlefield is changeable, how can we underestimate the enemy?"

Lan Ji was originally at the back of the army formation, so he was not paid attention by Lu Fan and others. When he walked slowly to the front of the formation on a maroon horse, all the soldiers of the Wu army cheered secretly, saying that this outfit was just a dream.

"Father, the child will also make a suit according to his body when he goes back." Lu Ju showed admiration.

Holding the halberd, Lan Ji stared at the enemy's formation, and said eight words coldly: "I am Lan Ji, send me to death quickly."

The soldiers of both armies were admiring Lan Ji's demeanor, so the scene was very quiet for a while.

Lan Ji's eight words were like a heavy hammer falling to the ground, and there was no answer from Lu Fan's side.

"General, the last general wishes..."

Before Zhou Shao could finish his sentence, Cheng Zi hurriedly interrupted and reminded in a low voice, "This man is the second son of Lan Tian, ​​who beheaded old General Han a few years ago, the general should not be underestimated..."

"So it's him? This guy is only 16 years old, and he's so tall..." Lu Fan's eyes widened.

"Four years ago, he was only 12 years old. He could really defeat Old General Han? How could the boy not believe it..." Lu Ju looked at Lu Fan suspiciously.

Lu Fan frowned and shook his head: "My father is not at the scene, so I don't know how important this person is. Anyway, don't take it lightly."

"Oh good..." Lu Ju nodded slightly.

Lan Ji waited for a while but didn't answer, he raised the halberd again and increased the volume: "You rats are afraid of death, what are you doing here? Why don't you go back to the rat's den and hide?"

"I go."

Zhou Shao was provoked by Lan Ji's words, so he left two words to Lu Fan, and rushed out with a big knife, Cheng Zi had no chance to stop him.

"Finally someone who is not afraid of death." Lan Ji looked Zhou Shao up and down.

Zhou Shao raised his knife and shouted angrily: "Lan Ji, don't be arrogant. My father is Zhou Tai, a general of the Eastern Wu Dynasty. If you are afraid of death, you should quickly retreat."

"Hahaha, this is the first time I saw someone using my father's name, even if Zhou Tai came back to life, he would die." Lan Ji held the rein and laughed.

"You man, dare to insult my father, I swear I will kill you." Zhou Shao said and raised his knife to kill.

Lan Ji was startled when he heard this, and thought to himself, didn't you bring yourself to humiliate yourself?He raised the Canglong Breaking Army Halberd and swung it away, the head of the halberd hit the knife head impartially.

There was a clang.

Zhou Shao was almost shocked by Lan Ji's power, thinking that this guy is really only 16 years old?What did this exaggerated power grow up on?I was a little impulsive just now, and I had to withdraw if I dealt with two moves casually, this boy in silver armor was really terrifying.

The two turned their horses' heads and charged for the second time. Zhou Shao knew that he was not Lan Ji's opponent, so he put all his strength into a defensive posture. Seeing this, Lan Ji raised his hand to cover the opponent's head.

Zhou Shao struggled to lift the hilt of the knife over his head, and the pressure of Mount Tai was released from Zhou Shao's arm to his waist. In order to relieve the force, his body instinctively leaned back.

When Lan Ji saw the other party meeting, he gave an opening. He had no intention of showing mercy at all. Taking advantage of the short moment when Zhou Shao stood up, he drew his halberd and swept across for the second time.

The Canglong Breaking Army Halberd flashed coldly, Zhou Shao couldn't avoid being cut off from his horse, and only made two moves in Lan Ji's hands. Lan Ji said in his heart that although your father is fateful, I see who can save you now.

Slaying generals before the battle can boost morale, and the soldiers in Lantian couldn't help shouting loudly. He felt the atmosphere filled with hormones, and the soldiers worshiped Lan Ji rising, while Lu Fan's side was as silent as a dry well.

The short moment just now can at least explain one thing, Han Dang was definitely killed by Lan Ji.

Lan Ji didn't say a word after beheading the general, and no one in Wu's army dared to snatch his body back.

"Is there anyone else coming to die?" Lan Ji held the blood-stained halberd in his hand, and once again despised the Jiangdong generals.

Lu Fan kept his mouth shut and said nothing, and his son Lu Ju didn't speak either. Who would dare to mess with such force?

Seeing that there was no one to fight, Lan Ji held down the reins and turned back and forth. Suddenly, he proposed again: "Where are the two generals who came out to save people earlier? You go together."

Although the words are arrogant, they have capital.

Every word Lan Ji uttered seemed to be slapping the faces of people from Soochow.

With a dark face, Lu Fan looked at Xian Yudan and Wu Shuo, who were named, and said in his heart that they would not respond to such insults, and wondered how much morale would be damaged.

Wu Shuo and Xian Yudan swallowed their saliva, and they looked at each other and made eye contact, as if they were saying that the odds of winning two against one are high. If they are lucky enough to kill Lan Ji, it is equivalent to revenge for Han Dang, and maybe they will be killed by Sun Quan after the battle. Fenghou.

"General Ziheng, let's fight together." Wu Shuo bravely clasped his fists and challenged.

"Two generals, be careful." Lu Fan nodded in agreement.

Wu Shuo and Xian Yudan rode forward side by side, whispering and studying tactics on the way, while Lan Ji watched with a flat expression.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Shuo and Xian Yudan accelerated to the left and right respectively. They planned to attack back and forth, not to mention killing them with one blow, but also making Lan Ji at a loss.

Lan Ji paused for a moment and suddenly moved, he grabbed the rein and went straight to Xianyu Dan on the left.

Xian Yudan was shocked while running, but he was not overly worried about failure, because Wu Shuo was chasing after him.

But Xian Yudan obviously underestimated the speed of the claret horse. Before he could raise the sword in his hand, Lan Ji raised his halberd and used a white rainbow piercing the sun.

The blue-black halberd tip sank into Xian Yudan's chest.

Chapter 841 Deliberately increasing troops to stabilize the enemy

Wu Shuo ran wildly behind him, seeing Xian Yudan's chest pierced from the best position, he held his iron gun and urged the horse to move forward.

Because Lan Ji's horse was fast, Wu Shuo arrived at the moment Xian Yudan fell to the ground, only to see him raise his gun in advance and make a sprinting posture.

Lan Ji was young and quick-witted, he could roughly know the opponent's position just by listening to the sound of the horse's hooves.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Shuo stabbed out with his long spear.

Lan Ji grabbed the reins with his left hand and turned around. The bay red horse under his crotch roared and raised its front hooves. The Canglong Pojun halberd was raised above his head with one hand.

The avalanche of arrogance not only made Wu Shuo's crotch hot, but also the front hoof of the horse he was riding went limp, and he even knelt forward.

The war horse was engulfed by the huge impact, rolled on the ground for a week, and then collapsed and couldn't get up.

Wu Shuo was thrown out by the horse just now, his head hit the ground, his neck was broken and he died on the spot.

With one enemy against two, Lan Ji not only killed one general easily, but also frightened another general to death with his men and horses. This scene is hardly seen in Jiangdong.

Fanatical cheers erupted from Lantian's side, and the jaw-dropping soldiers on Lu Fan's side couldn't close it for a long time.

16 years old, is he still human?Everyone in Jiangdong has this question.

There were already three corpses lying in the formation of the two armies, but no one dared to go up and get them back.

"Who else?" Lan Ji pointed at the enemy with his halberd angrily, as if it was the cry of an invincible king.

The shouts echoed in the formation of the two armies, and the horses in front of the Wu army became uneasy. Lu Ju and Cheng Zi secretly leaned back, worried that Lan Ji would see him and call the roll again.

"Who else?"

Lan Ji shouted fiercely again, Wu Jun's formation was completely silent for a while, because the gap was too big, no one wanted to die.

"Fu Jun, what should we do?" Song Chen asked in a low voice.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Lan Tian smiled and told Song Chen: "Zhongling killed three generals in a row, and the other army was already frightened. He ordered the three armies to attack immediately, and killed one by surprise."

"Wei." Song Chen responded with clasped fists, then took out a whistle with his left hand and command flag with his right hand, giving the order to attack.

Hao Pu and Mi Fang led their troops to move after hearing the order. The soldiers in Lingling and Changsha were encouraged and shouted excitedly and rushed towards the enemy line.

The Wu army failed in consecutive battles, and at this time they were too timid to fight. As soon as Lantian's army attacked, Lu Fan's formation began to be chaotic.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Lu Fan drew out his sword decisively and beheaded several cowardly soldiers in front of the formation, and managed to stabilize the scattered positions.

Lan Tian retreated as soon as he saw it was good, and the army only covered two or three miles, and then let Song Chen retreat in Mingjin, and the soldiers in front withdrew back in full satisfaction.

Back in the camp, Lan Ji walked in with his silver helmet in his arms, Hao Pu and Mi Fang didn't treat him as a child anymore, but stood up respectfully to greet him.

"I'm back." Lan Tian nodded kindly, pointing to the side for Lan Ji to sit down and drink water.

Lan Ji walked up to the seat, clasped his fists and asked puzzledly: "Father, the Wu army has been defeated just now, and it is possible to chase it to the county seat. Why did you withdraw the troops so quickly?"

Lan Tian stroked his beard and replied: "We can't scare Lu Fan in one battle. If he leads his troops back to Jiangdong, the long-term plan for his father will be ineffective."

"So it's like this, the youth camp is not very enjoyable..." Lan Ji sat down on the table.

"There will be opportunities in the future." Lan Tian smiled slightly.

"Fu Jun, what should we do next?" Mi Fang asked for instructions with a smile and clasped fists.

Mi Fang was a bit puzzled at first, they both had the same relationship with Liu Bei, so they couldn't be reused just because Lantian has many nephews, and they know how to farm land, and her own Mi family also provided money and food.

Now Mi Fang is convinced of Lan Tian, ​​he is going to learn from Wu Ban who restrained Zhu Ran, as long as he obeys his advice.

Lan Tianzhengse told everyone: "You pick out all the old and weak from the army, and then arrange them around the camp for defense. In addition, let Taishou Xi leave [-] soldiers in Liling, and the rest of the Guiyang soldiers will come to meet up immediately."

"Wei." Mi Fang and Hao Pu clasped their fists at the same time.

"Aren't you afraid that Lu Fan will run away? Then why do you need to increase troops?" Lan Ji scratched his head in confusion, his question was also the question of everyone.

Lan Tian stroked to explain: "This is a trick of the suspicious soldiers. Today we use you to kill Yu Wei, but in fact, it didn't hurt the Wu army at all. The purpose of changing the defense and increasing troops for the father is to show weakness. Lu Fan knows that he will not run away."

"Uh...then how to win next?" Lan Ji still didn't quite understand, thinking that wouldn't it be more refreshing to go straight?

With a serious expression on his face, Lan Tian spit out a word: "Wait."

Lu Fan led his troops back to Pingxiang County in embarrassment. There were three vacant seats in the lobby of the county government last night, but now even the corpses have not been recovered, and the morale of the generals in the hall has collapsed to the bottom.

The dull atmosphere lasted for an hour, until Lu Ju settled the battle damage and submitted it to the case.

"Let's just say it..." Lu Fangen was not in the mood to look through it.

"When our army retreated, [-] were killed, [-] were slightly injured, and [-] were seriously injured..." Lu Ju replied in a low voice.

Lu Fan heard a shock, his originally lazy body suddenly straightened up, and asked suspiciously: "Is that all?"

"Indeed." Lu Ju's tone was firm.

"How is it possible?" Lu Fan showed a surprised expression.

At this time, the veteran Song Qian stood up and clasped his fists, "General Ziheng, when we retreated just now, the last general observed carefully. The army in Lantian is not an army in the formation, so the combat effectiveness is actually not high. I'm afraid that hundreds of people were lost in the pursuit just now..."

"The last general has also noticed, but the hundreds of people around Lan Ji are really quite powerful." Cheng Zi followed suit and stood up.

Lu Fan slapped the table with his palm, "Is Lan Ji born to Lan Tian? How could there be such a big gap between father and son? Fortunately, our army has a huge advantage in strength, so we can only use crowd tactics to defeat the enemy."

"Lan Ji is brave and invincible. The morale of all the battalions is low. They may have to rest for a while. Why don't the generals take this opportunity to find out what is going on in Lan Tian?" Chief Secretary Liu Dun stood up and advised.

"Zi Ren's words are very kind." Lu Fan nodded, turned his head and told Lu Ju: "Shi Yi, send more scouts to the Lantian camp to investigate, and report any news as soon as possible."

"Wei." Lu Ju walked out of the lobby with his fists clasped.

Lu Fan waved his hands and continued to order: "Everyone go back to the camp to appease the soldiers and tell them that Lantian is just like that. I will get back the shame today."

"Wei." Song Qian and the others got up to leave one after another.

The next day, Lan Tian ordered people to return the bodies of Zhou Shao, Xian Yudan and Wu Shuo, and threatened to mobilize troops from all walks of life to fight Lu Fan to the death in Pingxiang.

The defense of the Lantian camp was reported back to Pingxiang, and reinforcements from Liling arrived two days later. Lu Fan urgently summoned the chief secretary Liu Dun to ask for advice.
