Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 852 How many servants are there?
As the cavalry galloped, the ground shook and then quickly moved away. Only a few infantry were able to follow, while most of the troops and horses were left on the road. In an instant, morale collapsed and the army was defeated.

Under the leadership of Ran Zhan, Daijun Wuding was unstoppable and broke through the defense line with unstoppable momentum. However, when he was about to turn around bravely and pursue Duan Pixi and his party, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps. The obstructed refugee army invaded, and the scene suddenly became even more chaotic.

In desperation, Ran Zhan could only stop the pursuit and organize his team to resist this chaos. After all, his victory was determined now, but he could not scatter his team because of this chaos, not to mention throwing away his military achievements. He couldn't tolerate the loss of a few more brothers.

Fortunately, although the scene was chaotic, Daijun Wuding's command system was very clear and clear. It was connected layer by layer and progressed everywhere. There had also been targeted training on how soldiers at all levels should command and cooperate in chaotic situations. .

Under the combined effect of such conditions, after about a meal, Ran Zhan controlled the situation, not only reorganizing the soldiers and horses he led, but also completely ending the dispute and chaos.

Whether it was the infantry of the headquarters that had no time to evacuate and were thrown directly to the rear by Duan Pizhen, or the refugee army that fled in all directions, after losing the command structure and queue, they were all quickly controlled by Daijun Wuding who had a complete organizational structure. After coming down, nearly half of them were captured. Counting the heavy troops, the total number was nearly 2!

After hearing the numbers reported back by his subordinates, Ran Zhan's regret of not being able to capture Duan Pizhen was immediately wiped away, replaced by excitement.

He immediately asked: "Where's the baggage? Are there any statistics on the baggage?"

The man reported back: "The baggage has not had time to be counted. Now the main personnel are sweeping through the surrounding forests to prevent ambushes and to capture the scattered prisoners."

"That's right. The baggage can be counted at any time. The key is not to allow anyone to take advantage of it at this time." Ran Zhan nodded, praised the person, and then ordered: "In addition, call more people to count all the baggage." Keep it safe for me, there can't be any losses, maybe we are here in Fanyang County..." At this point, he suddenly realized that if he continued speaking, it would be a leak, so he stopped abruptly and just urged the man to convey the order.

After the people left, Ran Zhan suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, I don't know what happened to the few people who just rushed out from the Xianbei army. It is said that they also have merit. Not only did they disrupt the enemy's army, but the most important thing was to reveal Duan Pizhen's location. , otherwise it would be difficult for me to organize manpower and focus on attacking that area. However, there are still some questions about the identities of these people, and I still need to ask them clearly, otherwise keeping them will not be a hidden danger, but Gao Bing should have asked them all."

With this in mind, he explained some more to several lieutenants, and then walked towards the high slope.

………………

On the other side, on the high slope, Chen Wu, Li Tou and the remaining few surviving companions had just bandaged their wounds. This treatment method surprised them, and the medicine used in it made them feel numb. Feeling, but the original pain dissipated quickly, and I finally felt relieved.

Chen Wu was holding a pen and writing several names on a piece of paper.

He asked Gao Bing for this paper and pen, and Gao Bing was not far away at the moment, talking to people.

"What kind of military recorder is this person? I think he has a lot of aura, but I didn't expect that the people in Dai County are not simple either." Li Tou looked at Gao Bing's back and couldn't help but mutter.

Chen Wu put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "This is natural. You probably think that Youzhou is a state, while Daijun has only one county. The two are not at the same level in terms of size. , so there shouldn’t be many powerful people in the army of this generation of counties? You are putting the cart before the horse."

He picked up the paper with his name on it and continued: "Do you know why Daijun is able to achieve such a situation in a small area? It is because there are many talented people inside, and that Governor Chen is promoting People don't care about their origins. You said this Mr. Gao, I noticed it when I talked to him just now. I can tell from some words that his origins are not ideal, but now he is also in the army. If the person who spoke was not like this, how could Dai Jun have the momentum to rise? How could I come to defect?" "What you said...makes sense!" Li Tou nodded heavily, and then looked towards him with a curious look on his face. Chen Wu looked at the paper in his hand and asked, "What is this?"

Chen Wu said: "These are the brothers who unfortunately died in the battle before. I will write down their names. If we become prosperous in the future, we must find a way to repay them, or at least we cannot forget them."

"Brother Chen is interested."

The other survivors couldn't help but nodded after hearing this, and the dissatisfaction in their hearts also dissipated a little.

Li Tou also admired him very much. Then he noticed Ran Zhan who was slowly approaching. His heart tightened and he asked again: "That young general is here. He is also very good at fighting, but he doesn't have as many soldiers as Youzhou." Well, let’s take refuge now…”

"There is no other way out," Chen Wu licked his lips, "And we have worked hard to achieve this. We have told them everything, and there is physical evidence. I believe that Ran Zhan will inform Prefect Chen when he arrives. When the time comes, Governor Chen will definitely give us a place to stay. As for how far we can go, it depends on our brothers' abilities."

"Then when will we see Governor Chen?" Li Tou scratched his head and asked.

"If what I expected is correct," Chen Wu thought for a moment and made a judgment, "it is very likely that Governor Chen personally led the army and was waiting for Duan Pixi in front, otherwise Ran Zhan would not have reacted like this. When Duan Pixi leaves, he will try his best to catch up." When he was in contact with Ran Zhan just now, Ran Zhan accidentally revealed a lot of information, which Chen Wu keenly caught, knowing that Duan Jin had been intercepted earlier. , Chen Zhi personally led the troops here, so he could make such a judgment at this time.

"Oh?" Li Tou was still confused.

Chen Wu simply said: "I believe Daijun did not send many troops this time, and I am afraid there are not many generals..."

As he spoke, he stood up and went up to meet Ran Zhan, talking to Ran Zhan again.

Within a few words, Ran Zhan imitated Chen Zhi, patted Chen Wu on the shoulder, and praised him. Chen Wu became humble. The two were chatting lively when someone suddenly came over to report that it was Chen Zhi who was here. .

Ran Zhan immediately stopped talking to make preparations and told Chen Wu that he would inform Chen Zhi for him. As for whether he could see him or not, it would depend on Chen Zhi's wishes.

Chen Wu thanked him, but he was confused in his heart.

"Did I make a mistake and no one ambushed Duan Pixi on the way back? Or, if it wasn't Chen Zhi who led the ambush, then... the situation is a bit complicated. How many troops did Dai Jun invest in this way?"

　Thanks to "丶Ranchen" and "Yiyuan" for the reward!
