Chapter 685 Lei Xu's Counterattack
The city of Shandu in Nanyang County.

At the beginning of March, Li Yan joined Meng Da (the then prefect of Shangyong, governing Shangyong and Fangling counties), Shen Yan and Shen Yi, who had come from Shangyong and Fangling.

The next day, Fu Tong, a native of Yiyang who stayed in Yiyang, became the head of the mountain capital and was in charge of negotiating with Liu Biao's envoy. However, he quietly went down the river with Meng Da and the other three, from Yin County to Lecheng, and the soldiers pointed directly at Rang County.

Lei Xu, who had just fled to Lecheng, was shocked, and immediately led his army to open the door and fled.

Le Cheng's defender was preparing to fight to the death. When he heard that Lei Xu had abandoned the gate and fled, he also abandoned the city. Le Chang opened the gate and surrendered.

Li Yan ordered him to grow up happily, and led his troops to Rang County.

Rang County, located in the south of Rushui, is the main road for transporting grain from Wancheng to Wuguan. Zhang Xun led his army into Wuguan, and his subordinate Wei Kai once sat in town.

Wei Kai hadn't seen the Jin army coming, but instead received Lei Xu leading the defeated army, and then heard that Zhang Xun led the army across the Rushui and rushed to Wancheng overnight.

Of course, Zhang Xun didn't do nothing. Along the way, he ordered the defenders in Danshui, Shunyang, and Champion counties to retreat to Rang County. After Zhang Xun planned to return to Wancheng, he sent troops to fight the Jin army again.

Lei Xu is a younger brother of Lei Bo's clan. Compared to Lei Xu, Lei Bo is a general under Yuan Shu's command. Zhang Xun came out of Wan and kept him here, which is enough to prove his status in Yuan's army.

There is a gossip that Zhang Xun was captured by the Jin army.

If the news is true, Nanyang will be Lei Bo's territory in the future. As for whether there will be a future?hehe!At least he is now the No. [-] person in Nanyang, and he may be called the No. [-] person.

After seeing Lei Xu, Wei Kai entertained him with delicious food and drink.

After Lei Xu's panic period, another Yuan army came to Rang County one after another. The small Rang County already had nearly ten thousand troops, and Lei Xu couldn't help but feel courageous.

Thinking of Wudang's defeat, he was defeated in a muddleheaded way, and now he has stronger troops than before, not only wanting to fight the Jin army, so as to wash away the order to abandon the city and flee.

At that time, Zhang Xun submitted a letter of guilt to Yuan Shu's office, and Lei Bo also sent people to Yang Hong's office, hoping to take over Zhang Xun's position.

Although Yuan Shu was annoyed when he heard Zhang Xun's plea, he dropped a few wine bottles, but he was not so confused as to change generals, and Yan Xiang, Yuan Yao and others tried their best to protect Zhang Xun.

Yuan Shucai suppressed his anger a little bit, ordered him to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, expel the Jin army from Nanyang as soon as possible, and at least half of the territory of Nanyang County must be kept.

Zhang Xun's Nanyang prefect added a fake, which undoubtedly greatly increased Lei Bo's enthusiasm, and of course Yang Hong's teasing: If there is merit, this matter will surely succeed.

When Lei Bo got the news, he sent a message to Lei Xu immediately, and he must give the Jin army some good looks.

At that time, Nanyang was already full of wars. Li Yan went to Rang County, Cai Mao was about to go to Xinye, Deng Ji had taken Huyang, and Huang Zhong also went down the Dan River. Because Zhang Xun shrank his troops to Rang County, Huang Zhong recovered several counties smoothly. .

It's no wonder that Yuan Shu got angry. How could he not be angry when the largest territory under his command was suddenly surrounded by war and there was a possibility of losing it?
What's more, Li Yan came all the way and occupied several counties, so his troops would inevitably be scattered. When he reached Rang County, there were less than [-] soldiers, and there would be only three men from Meng Da.

Li Yan rushed all the way, and the siege equipment was insufficient, so he could only wait for Huang Zhong's brigade to arrive.

"Lieutenant, it has been found out that the Jin Army Brigade has arrived at Champion County."

A scout reported to Lei Xu that although Lei Xu was defeated, he was in Wei Kai, and with Lei Bo's backing, he naturally became the leader of the guards in several counties.

Wei Kaidao: "Lieutenant, Champion City is only two days away, if you want to find a decisive battle with the Jin army, I think you can't wait any longer."

Lei Xu said: "No hurry, just wait."

Wei Kai opened his mouth and said nothing.

In the evening, Wei Kai was called by Lei Xu.

"Night attack? Captain, tonight?"

Wei Kai was shocked when he heard Lei Xu's outrageous suggestion.

Most soldiers in the Han Dynasty had night blindness, so night raids were the magic weapon for winning more with less in ancient times. Of course, ordinary generals would not easily choose night raids, because it is very likely that stealing chickens will not make a lot of money.

Lei Xu was very satisfied with Wei Kai's reaction, and immediately said: "You also know that the Jin army has a lot of eyes and ears, if you decide in advance, there is no guarantee that the Jin army will have set up an ambush before you and I leave the city."

Wei Kai hesitated and said: "But it is inconvenient to move at night?"

Lei Xu sneered and said, "Someone happens to have an army that can travel at night."

Seeing that Lei Xu had made up his mind, Wei Kai no longer objected: "What orders does the captain have?"

"Tonight we will make dinner at three o'clock. If the sky is not clear, you will lead the troops to attack at night. Somebody is watching the battle in the city. Once the Jin army is defeated, some one will lead the army to cover up and kill."

Lei Xu said.

"Here!"

The night attack was launched at dusk. Of course, Lei Xu didn't know that this was the most sleepy time to launch a night attack, but he heard that the Jin army used to do this.

That night, Wei Kai led his army to attack.

Li Yan set up three big camps in Rang County, with brothers Meng Da and Shen Yan respectively sitting in the camps, the closer Huang Zhong was to him, the more flustered he became, so he ordered the three of them to guard the camps strictly, just in case.

Brother Shen Yan obeyed on the surface, but he didn't care about it in his heart.Huang Zhong's army is about to arrive, even if Lei Xuniu defeats the three of them, he will suffer heavy losses, how can he defend the city?
In fact, the two of them still don't understand the truth that sometimes the ass determines the head.

In order to fight for the position of Nanyang prefect, Lei Bo forced Lei Xu to fight. As for the gains and losses of Rang County, heh!I changed one prefect, can I change another one?

Not only Brother Shen Dan, but also Meng Da, who secretly drank a few cups in the camp that night before falling asleep.

Alcohol was banned in the army, but disease was rampant in Yizhou, and the humidity was extremely heavy. Generals in the army would drink strong alcohol to drive away dampness, and Meng Da was no exception.

Wei Kai took the lead in attacking the camp of the Shen Yan brothers that night, without any surprise, this army was easily broken through.

Brother Shen Yan woke up and led his army to flee to Mengda's camp, so that the defeated troops attacked Mengda's barracks again.

After Meng Da woke up, Jiu Jin's entire army rushed out and fought Wei Kai. In the dark night, no one could see who was clear, and it turned into a big scuffle.

"No one is allowed to leave the camp, and anyone who approaches the camp will be killed."

After Li Yan was awakened by the shouts of killing, he ordered the sergeants to light torches and gather the rout troops outside the camp. Those who rushed into the camp were shot and killed.

Lei Xu looked overjoyed at the chaotic Jin army camp on the city wall, looked at the dawn sky, and immediately led the army to kill, went straight to the Jin army camp, trying to destroy Li Yan in a single battle.

Li Yan only has 5000 people, but he has nearly [-] people, and he attacked Li Yan first at night, how can he not lose?
After dawn, Li Yan also used the gathered routs as the vanguard to fight towards the battlefield, followed by the elite of his own battalion.

With this main force entering, Wei Kai's troops were defeated and retreated. After Wei Kai was surrounded, Lei Xu led his troops to enter, and there was another big melee outside Rang County.

As time went by, Yuan Jun, who had eaten, gradually took the initiative on the battlefield relying on his large number of people, especially after Lei Xu beheaded Shen Yan, Fang Ling's army collapsed badly.

A small advantage can turn into a victory over time, if nothing else.

It didn't take long for Lei Xu to be proud, a puff of smoke and dust rose in the distance, and then there seemed to be the sound of galloping horses.

North side, cavalry?
You don't need to think about it to know that this is the Jin army.

Lei Xu's face changed drastically: "Withdraw, quickly retreat into the city."

 It’s New Year’s Eve, 2016 has passed, Ye Shi opened a few books and changed a few vests, but the results were not satisfactory, but he also did a good thing, that is, he picked up this book and wrote another 100 million words .

  In 2017, Yese can’t guarantee anything, but at the very least, I have to write more than 100 million words. In the sky, it’s [-] words a day, but Yese strives for [-] words a day, at least.

  Finally, I wish everyone a happy new year. If you have time, you can vote for Yese, and finally give a reward, or send a red envelope to encourage Yese's creative passion.
