I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 381: The veteran [-] soldiers took the retreat, the field thief was given the head, and the fan thief was trapped to death! (Please subscribe)

As soon as the scout commander finished speaking, Fan Mingyou and Ding Ping, who had been putting on airs just now, were shocked and stood up from the couch.

"What exactly happened? Please tell me the truth quickly. If there is anything hidden or exaggerated, you will be punished with military law immediately!" Fan Mingyou pulled out his sword with a clang.

The rest of the people also had faces full of horror and disbelief.

"Yes... yes, we set out two days ago, bypassed Yinpan, and continued to explore in the direction of Anwu. However, when we arrived near Anding, we encountered a large number of defeated troops, all of whom were led by General Tian!"

Anding is less than a hundred miles from Yinpan, and Anwu is less than a hundred miles from Anding.In this way, the defeated army will soon reach Yinpan!

Why did Tian Guangming lose suddenly and inexplicably?That's an army of [-]. Who in Beidi County and Anding County is their opponent?
"Are you waiting to escort the defeated troops?" Fan Mingyou asked angrily.

"We have tied up three defeated soldiers and are holding them outside the tent at the moment."

"Bring them in quickly."

"only!"

Soon, three defeated soldiers who were tied up tightly and looked panic-stricken entered the big tent.

They had never seen so many glaring military academies. Under the glare of everyone, they quickly knelt down with a "pop" and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy.

Fan Mingyou said nothing with a sullen face, so Ding Ping had no choice but to start checking their identities.

After some interrogation, it was finally confirmed that these defeated troops really came from Tian Guangming's command.

One of the defeated soldiers named Zuo Qi also served as a leader in Tian Guangming's private army.

"General Fan, may I ask a question?" Ding Ping said to him.

"Where is General Tian now?" Fan Mingyou asked Zuo Qi.

"General Tian, ​​Tian is dead!" Zuo Qi said tremblingly as he lay on the ground.

"Where is the army?" Fan Mingyou continued to ask.

"Already, the entire army has been routed, and everyone has been captured!" Zuo Qi was shaking like chaff.

The two sentences Zuo Qi answered made everyone in the tent look pale and speechless.

If the battle is defeated, there is still room for reversal. If all the generals die, then everything is over.

"Tell me what you know truthfully, without any concealment, otherwise military law will be launched immediately!" Fan Mingyou said angrily.

Zuo Qi said a few words of fear, and then told the truth about what happened in the past ten days intermittently.

After Tian Guangming's troops and Fan Mingyou's troops gathered some troops, they acted according to the plan. At first, everything went very smoothly.

On November 29, they surrounded Sanshui and captured the small city in two days.

Before that, Lian County and Fuping further north had also been captured by Tian Guangming's separate forces.

Tian Guangming's troops occupied four county towns in just a few days, and their military morale was greatly boosted.

When Tian Guangming was reorganizing his troops and horses in Sanshui, mobilizing food and grass, and preparing to lead the Chinese army southward to assist Fan Mingyou's troops, he suddenly received urgent military information from Lingwu County.

An army of more than [-] people appeared under Lingwu City!

Tian Guangming, who was worried that his retreat was unstable, had to rush back to rescue Lingwu in a panic.

But the consequences of the long snake formation and the division of troops to besiege the city were fully revealed.

Since Tian Guangming had 5000 troops to guard each of Lingwu, Lianxian and Fuping counties, he sent another 1 troops to Gaoping and Anwu in advance.

Subtract the deserters during this period.

At this time, Tian Guangming's Chinese army only had 7000 men left, and it was still 7000 men with unstable morale and low morale.

He originally wanted to collect troops from various places and then confront the enemy, but he did not expect to engage in battle with the enemy near Fuping County on his way north in a hurry.

Immediately, a battle broke out between the two armies under Fuping City.

Tian Guangming's troops collapsed at the first touch and had no power to fight back. All his troops were wiped out in less than half a day.

Except for a few who were killed, most were captured.

Tian Guangming was also shot in the neck by a stray arrow during his hasty escape, and died.

The few defeated soldiers who escaped spread the news of the defeat of Tian Guangming's troops. For a while, the messengers and scouts who delivered the message were also trapped among them and fled in all directions.

This Zuo Qi was a private soldier around Tian Guangming. He witnessed with his own eyes the process of Tian Guangming being shot and falling from his horse, so he told the story vividly.

Even whether Tian Guangming fell from the left side of the war horse or from the right side, everything is clear and logical.
This left everyone in the Chinese army's tent without any doubt that Tian Guangming's troops were really defeated.

All of them felt their mouths were dry and their heads were throbbing with pain.

Fan Mingyou also found it a bit unbelievable. Where did an army of 3 people appear from this desolate northern land.

And all the 2 Chinese troops were captured in half a day?It’s simply ridiculous!

Even if there were [-] pigs, they wouldn’t be able to catch them all in half a day!
"Whose flag is the enemy using?" Ding Ping, who was so frightened that his face turned red, asked on Fan Mingyou's behalf.

"Yes, it's the flag of Pu Lei General Zhao Chongguo!" As soon as Zuo Qi said these words, the tense heartstrings of Ding Ping and others, who were like frightened birds, were completely broken, and everyone started wailing as if they were mourning for their heirs.

Along the way, Fan Mingyou, who had never lost his composure before, fell back on the couch with his eyes blank, no longer able to maintain order.

The mood of despair and the atmosphere of collapse spread instantly in the Chinese military tent. Everyone was in danger and was in constant panic.

Only brothers Huo Yu and Huo Shan remained calm. They sat on the couch and watched the situation with cold eyes without saying a word.

Fan Mingyou had no intention of suppressing the noisy discussions of the captain and generals. He walked to the map and looked at it carefully.

When Fan Mingyou's troops and Tian Guangming's troops began to return south to the fortress, Zhao Chongguo's troops should be in the area of ​​Hang'ai Mountain, about [-] to [-] miles away from Dongxi Junji Mountain.

This means that within a few days after Fan Tian's Second Division returned south, Zhao Chongguo's troops followed closely and followed the route of Fan Tian's Second Division returning south.

Dare to follow them so decisively, instead of returning south to the fortress as planned, there is only one possibility.

That means Zhao Chongguo must have known about Fan Mingyou and others' plan, so he dared to march straight in!
So how did Zhao Chongguo know about Fan Mingyou's plan?

Is it possible that the gray-haired old man really has the ability to predict events like a god?
When withdrawing troops from Qixian County a few days ago, Fan Mingyou only thought that although the situation was critical, it had not reached the point of complete collapse after all.

At least at that time, he and Tian Guangming still controlled two counties and 6 to [-] troops.

But now, Tian Guangming has lost!
The [-] remnants of Fan Mingyou's troops will definitely not be able to withstand the attacks from Zhao Chongguo and Han Zeng!

This situation is not only a collapse, it has simply reached an irreversible situation.

Fan Mingyou drew out the sword from his waist angrily, and chopped the map in front of him into a piece of rag with two or three swords.

This crazy move finally suppressed the despair of others in the tent, and everyone looked at Fan Mingyou in unison.

Regardless of how much trust they still have in Fan Mingyou, they can only place their hopes on Fan Mingyou at this moment.

Fan Mingyou turned around silently, the hand holding the sword trembling slightly.

He wished he could immediately fight to the death with these two insidious men, Han Zeng and Zhao Chongguo!

However, he knew that even if it came time for the two armies to confront each other, Zhao Chongguo and Han Zeng would not give him this chance.

After Fan Mingyou was silent for a long time in this monstrous anger, he finally said reluctantly: "We will not attack the city tomorrow. We will send out scouts to rest and reorganize the camp. We will not be able to leave!"

"No." A sparse and sinister reply came.

……

The next day, the scouts sent by Fan Mingyou's command in the past few days finally brought back the news that Fan Mingyou had been waiting for.

However, each of these news is worse than the last.

Tian Guangming's troops were defeated, and the cities they captured were taken away. Each city began to attack the sent scouts...

Among them, the worst news is that Zhao Chongguo's troops are camped twenty miles north of Yinpan.

The two armies are less than thirty miles apart, which means that the two armies will face each other the next day.

No!It is very likely that the decisive battle will take place tonight.

This news made Fan Mingyou's mood even worse for the rebels. It made Fan Mingyou extremely depressed.

Even though Fan Mingyou personally took action and led his private troops to suppress everyone, the atmosphere of despair was still rampant in the camp.

Zhao Chongguo's troops have not yet shown up, but Tian Guangming's troops have gradually become more defeated.

From the mouths of these panicked troops, Fan Mingyou pieced together more information and gained a better understanding of the battle situation in the north in the past few days.

After Zhao Chongguo's troops defeated Tian Guangming's middle army, they immediately sent a letter of surrender to Tian Guangming's troops in various places.

After the rebels, who were already unstable in military morale, learned that Tian Guangming was dead, they still had no resistance at all. They either fled or surrendered.

Starting from the first day of December, Zhao Chongguo's troops captured the cities of Lingwu, Lianxian, Fuping and Sanshui with only a small number of troops. The Chinese army moved all the way south without stopping for a moment.

As for the 1 troops Tian Guangming sent to Anwu and Gaoping in advance, they surrendered to the officials of the two counties as soon as they arrived at the city. Tian Guangming's troops completely disappeared.

The situation in front of Fan Mingyou finally became completely clear, but he was already helpless.

At dusk that day, Fan Mingyou mobilized two battalions with good morale to attack Yinpan, but the morale of the army could not support such an attack at all.

After several charges, they were defeated by arrows fired from the top of the city before they even got close to the city gate.

Many soldiers did not even return to the camp, but simply fled in all directions, each looking for a way to surrender.

If Ding Ping hadn't sent out troops in time to kill dozens of deserters who had been hunted down, the entire Chinese army would have been scattered.

Fan Mingyou did not dare to send more troops to attack the city, so he had to let the remaining 1 people huddle in the camp and rest temporarily.

At night, Fan Mingyou's camp finally became quiet for the time being.

Ding Ping, Huo Yu, Huo Yun brothers and others walked into Fan Mingyou's tent.
