General Gengshi Lian Dan didn't know how he lost this battle from beginning to end. Although he was a mediocre general, he still had the basic arrangement of troops. He was in charge of Wuyan City and arranged 50,000 people in surrounding towns.

When he first heard that a small group of Red Eyebrows attacked the grain brigade team, he casually sent a Qu to rescue him, but the news that the entire Qu was surrounded by the Red Eyebrows team was sent back.

In addition to being surprised, Lian Dan sent another entire army to help, but found out that they were surrounded again.

"Hasn't the local red eyebrows been killed? Where did so many thieves come from? Could it be that they are Fan Chong's main force in Mount Tai?"

Before new reinforcements were sent, several defense zones around Wuyan sent people to report that they were attacked by Red Eyebrows.

Lian Dan instigated the king's army to slaughter Wuyan City, although to some extent, they also "increased" their morale, making the soldiers think that the red eyebrows are not worthy of fear. Only when they suddenly encountered the real red eyebrows warrior did they realize that they were worth it.

They came from all directions, in the grass, in the woods, in the ditches, and even in the deep inner corners that had been destroyed by the official army. When faced with the humiliation and reprimanding the timid farmers, they would just pick up a pitchfork and a dung rake and be a soldier!

Responding to the accent of the three elders of the same hometown, the giants called to "kill the official army" and walked to the edge of the field. As long as they picked up a tuft of red mud, red soil, brown soil, or even yellow soil, stained with blood from relatives, and rubbed heavily on their eyebrows. Every Yanzhou person who has hatred for the official army is the Red Eyebrow Army!

Their foreheads were as thick as a giant, barefoot or straw sandals under their feet, no organization, no banner, or even no leader. They just drove their anger and revenge, and used their bodies to defeat the hard armor with their powerful bows and crossbows of the government army, and used simple weapons to destroy the hard armor. In just one day, they defeated the 50,000 general Gengshi, who was known as the elite of the court, to pieces.

Lian Dan was sure that he had encountered the real main force of the Taishan Red Eyebrow, so he decided to fight and retreat, wanting to retreat to the west, lengthen the Red Eyebrow front, and then let the chariots and cavalry troops go around and cooperate with the cooperation of the Grand Tutor Wang Kuang to encircle and annihilate him in one fell swoop!

But no matter how well the mind is designed, it needs to be implemented. Not to mention the counter-encirclement, just retreating will suddenly turn into a defeat.

The soldiers heard that it was no different from "our army was defeated", so they rushed to flee. One panic was one to spread, and finally even the elite troops of Lian Dan headquarters shouted to "protect" the general and joined the retreat.

Lian Dan retreated to Chengchang Township in a daze, and then he had to breathe, and met the remnants of the Grand Tutor Wang Kuang who had retreated from Liangshan.

Brother and brother meet again, and it was like a turtle-eyed man who couldn't believe it. They were originally expecting the other side to pull him off.

"General Gengshi, why were you defeated?"

"I also want to ask the Grand Master, why did he lose?"

It was useless to say more about things at this point, and the two of them could only gather the defeated soldiers, and they had tens of thousands of people. The red eyebrows were red and their eyes arrived in an instant. They didn't have time to divide the camps and crowded together in a mess, letting the officials as commanders and lined up their backs to form a back to the back to face the battle.

According to the military tactic, if there is a hard city wall behind it, it is against the strong city and it is not panic in my heart; if there is a surging river behind it, it is to put it to death and fight with the back.

But what if there is a pig teammate who is comparable to you behind it?

That is to be attacked from both sides!

The formula of 11＜1 is undoubtedly revealed in Lian Dan and Wang Kuang.

The two coaches were also planning to save the defeat, but their subordinates had already lost all the false morale gathered by the slaughter of the lieutenant general in the retreat by slaughtering the city. Although they barely lined up now, when the sunset shone, they could not help but tremble when they saw the thick brown-red eyebrows on their foreheads.

In addition to the direct troops of the two generals, the so-called 100,000 people are just troops that are pieced together by catching strong men. They can only fight with the wind. Once they are frustrated, no one will really fight to the death.

It would be fine if the enemy was surrounded by a perfect siege, but it might be possible that the retreating royal army could make a desperate bet. But Red Eyebrows were also a group of scattered soldiers and the siege net was leaking from all sides, and it had long become the freedom to fight and play each other.

The fish, who was trapped in the net, suddenly saw a big hole in front of them, and they were not responsible for cooperating with friendly forces to fight against the enemy. So they rushed out in a panic and fled.

When it was dark, the battlefield became even more chaotic, and everyone was nervous and we were not separated from each other. Sometimes it was the official army fighting the official army, and sometimes it was the red eyebrows fighting the red eyebrows. Even when there was no enemy, the camp whistle often happened and never stopped all night.

In this battle of Chengchang that had been fighting all night, whether it was Lian Dan, Wang Kuang, or the Red Eyebrow Fan Chong and Dong Xian on the opposite side, they were completely unaware of the overall situation.

Geng Chun, who was surrounded by the rioters, was even more dizzy and could only go with the flow. Even if someone flew through the nine heavens to see the overall situation, he could only give this battle a word: chaos!

When fighting is a random encounter, when fighting is a random battle, when defeat is a random escape.

The generals on both sides were commanding randomly, while the Red Eyebrows were killing randomly.

In short, when the sky was dawning, General Gengshi and the army of the Grand Tutor had completely collapsed, with few people killed in battle and many people defeated.

Liangshan Red Eyebrows were also tired of fighting and the offensive was temporarily retreating. The Grand Tutor Wang Kuang looked at his scattered front, with less than 20,000 troops left by his side, unable to withstand the next attack. So he sighed and sent someone to notify Lian Dan.

"It is better to gather the remaining troops to break through, and leave a useful body to continue to serve Your Majesty."

Lian Dan faced the impact of Mount Tai's Red Eyebrow head-on, and the losses were even heavier. There were only more than 10,000 people gathered around him. The Red Eyebrow seemed endless. All the weapons and armors of the army were captured by Fan Chong. The elites of all the giants changed their equipment happily, and the last advantage of the official army no longer existed.

But Lian Dan still ordered all the troops to resist. Now, when Wang Kuang asked him to escape together, he couldn't help but be furious: "You little child can leave, I can't!"

Feng Yan had previously lobbyed Lian Dan to support his troops and wait for the changes of the times to be a prince, but Lian Dan refused flatly. He was grateful to Wang Mang and was a true loyal minister.

"The battle in the southwest lasted for three years, not only did Jucheng not be established, but even the other counties were rebelled."

"I was ordered to conquer the Xiongnu in the north, and went out to the frontier for less than a hundred miles and rebelled, so that the thieves and enemies could enter the New Qin."

"If you lose your troops again and lose your territory and are defeated by Chimei, Lian Dan will be incompetent and will have no face to see Your Majesty again!"

When Lian Dan thought of his life, he felt extremely ashamed for a moment - his ashamed of Wang Mang, his ashamed of the king, the people who were tyrannical by his tribes along the way, and the tens of thousands of innocent souls in Wuyan City, but he did not feel any guilt at all.

Lian Dan untied his Gengshi General Seal, Ribbon and Talisman, and asked his confidants to hand it over to Wang Kuang, so that he could lead his troops to break through and retreat.

"As for me."

Lian Dan shouted loudly, as if he wanted more people to know: "If you receive the important tasks of the country, you will not be able to repay your kindness without giving it to the middle and wilderness!"

After receiving the Lian Dan seal, Wang Kuang did not hesitate at all, and left behind the two miscellaneous troops that were engaging in the outer periphery and ignored it. He also let General Gengshi's troops break through as the van, and he himself took his direct troops to sit firmly in the center and rode on the four-carriage car.

Like the king's army, Chimei had no plans before the war and no coordination during the battle. After fighting for a day and a night, the Qu generals of each division also began to make small plans. When Wang Kuang led his troops to break through, he did not organize an effective counterattack. More people were staring at the supplies and food that were thrown everywhere near Chengchang Township.

There is still a rare heroic time in my life, and I decided to use my body as bait to exchange for the friendly forces to break through.

Wang Kuang looked back from the chariot, but saw General Gengshi's banner shaking in the raging waves of the red eyebrows and finally fell down.

Lian Dan fought with the Red Eyebrows to death with his confidant who was unwilling to leave. It was ridiculous. When he commanded 50,000 people, he was defeated. When he commanded 50 people, he could kill Red Eyebrows ten times more often than he did.

But in the end, it was still impossible to defeat the opponent's crowds. The banner was broken and the confidants were dead. The Red Eyebrow Army rushed forward and rushed towards Lian Dan, "The Grand Tutor is still good, Gengshi kill me." They want to take revenge!

At this last moment, Lian Dan was still struggling to wield the sword of the emperor's killing horses, but suddenly remembered someone: In the north of the Selangor, Lian Dan deliberately did not send troops to rescue him, surrounded by tens of thousands of cavalry from the right side of the Huns, and finally died bravely. Han Wei, the general of the Huns, who was brave enough to fight, did Han Wei fight so bravely?

In the past, Lian Dan refused to save him when he died, but now he will be abandoned by his friendly troops.

However, Lian Dan did not receive the tragic treatment of Han Weina's ten thousand arrows as a cover. As the long sword in his hand was lifted away, a salt-free farmer who stepped forward rushed over. The eyebrows were not red clay, but blood!

He held a feces fork still stained with dirt and poked into Lian Dan's broken chest!

Then dozens of people rushed forward, Wan Blade was put on, Lian Dan's head was chopped off, and together with the exaggerated iron helmet, they were raised by the Red Eyebrows to cheer for victory:

"Gengshi kills me? I kills Gengshi!"

...

On the other side of the battlefield, when Wang Kuang lost half of his subordinates and broke out of the siege, he encountered a group of General Gengshi who were trapped in the chaos and fought on their own.

Lian Dan was indeed very good at his close confidants. When these innocent executioners in Wuyan City heard that General Gengshi refused to break through and was no longer in the Red Eyebrow Army, they were all very sad and angry and shouted: "Mr. Lian is dead, who will make a living?"

Then he turned his horse's head and rushed towards the Red Eyebrow Army that was chasing him, all fighting to death.

"What a hero!" Wang Kuang was very happy. Thanks to the sacrifice of Lian Dan and his confidants, he abandoned the miscellaneous troops and finally broke out of the encirclement. He glanced around and counted the number of people. The remaining troops were less than 8,000, and the system was also broken up. He just retreated with the banner of the Grand Master in a daze.

"Tai Shi, where should we retreat?"

The Red Eyebrow was fighting for the spoils, and no large group of people came to chase after him. The terrified lieutenants came to ask Wang Kuang where to go.

There are many choices, retreating to Puyang City, Zhiting County to reorganize the army and fight again, retreating to Dingtao City, Jiping County to resist the bandits, and even running to Baimajin to move to Hebei without Red Eyebrows, all of which are the way out.

But Master Wang kept these places within hundreds of miles and refused to leave. He was already scared by the true red eyebrows and chose to lose thousands of miles!

"Yanzhou may not be able to defend it anymore. Luoyang, we will retreat to Luoyang!"

...

It was not only the direct lineage of Taishi Wang who successfully broke through.

Geng Chun came to this area on his way to Wuyan. He was good at observing the environment and details. Before the chaos last night, he took Peng Chong and those hundreds of Ding Zhuang to penetrate into the forest far away from the center of the battlefield.

"The Red Eyebrow recognized that the escaped army was the official army, and they were chasing each other. During this pursuit, fewer and fewer people would definitely go away. I am afraid that the last survivors will be only eleven."

Geng Chun comforted everyone and spent the night in the woods. During this period, a red eyebrows passed by. Fortunately, Geng Chun asked Zhen Shili, who could speak local dialects, to wipe the red mud on his eyebrows and deal with it in the dark.

This incident gave Geng Chun inspiration, and he sent a message one by one: "Give up all the seals, ribbons and armor marked by the official army."

Then they helped each other draw red mud on their eyebrows. At dawn, when the main force of the Red Eyebrow launched a general attack on the royal army trapped in Chengchang, they led the team out of the forest and ran away.

Although there was a concealment and the words were used by several locals under Geng Chun, the eyes of Ting Zhuang were still like horrified rabbits. There were chaotic battlefields along the way. The corpses of the official army and the red eyebrows fell to the wild, were shot by crossbows, stabbed to death, and died of trampling by friendly troops while running away.

After all, it was a chaotic battle of more than 200,000 people. This wilderness dotted with corpses was so big that it was numb. Fortunately, they had seen the real ghost in Wuyan long ago. The broken belly in front of them was nothing. Most people tried to look at the backs of the people in front of them, just wanting to go out alive.

They are all Ding Zhuang from Yuzhou. Although most of them are poor people who have been forced to come, Chimei doesn’t care about so many things. On the road, Chimei caught the official army and asked them to kneel on the ground and ask in local dialect. They can answer and live; if they can’t answer, they will die!

Red Eyebrows are reluctant to use a knife, and the knife will be dull when it cuts the bones. The way to kill them is to order the other party to peel off all their clothes and shoes. Then the Red Eyebrow soldiers held up a big stone and smashed them to the back of the official army's head! One, two strokes until their brains burst.

Then the Red Eyebrow Army left with a dress that was not stained with blood. They wanted to live a warm winter without missing any fabric.

No one in Yuzhou Ding Zhuang led by Peng Chong tried to save "Pao Ze". They were already numb and only hoped that they would be safe.

Geng Chun suddenly thought: "If Bo Yu was here, he would definitely not be recognized by his ability to know the dialects of various locals. He might have intervened in the upper echelons of Red Eyebrows and become the 'fifth giant'!"

Occasionally they would be blocked and made things difficult by the agile Red Eyebrow Army. Geng Chun then showed his ability to be civil and military versus all-round, commanding Ding Zhuang to use swords and weapons to kill the blockers, and then quickly evacuate.

After gradually leaving the battlefield, there were fewer red eyebrows, but more officials who had dispersed the first. When they saw Geng Chun and the others dressed in red eyebrows, they seemed to have seen ghosts, or beg for mercy, or ran in a hurry. Chengchang's battle scared them out of fear.

And on this plain in the yellow zone, there are all unsuccessful and exhausted colleagues of the Wang Shishi.

Geng Chun thought something and told Peng Chong and others: "Wash the red eyebrows and replace them with the official army flag."

After counting the number of people, I found that there were still more than 500. With Geng Chun's wit, they did not lose too many people. At most, there were dozens of unlucky guys who were left behind and left behind. I hope they could remain silent and not be recognized by Chimei.

But the danger still exists. The Battle of Chengchang ended. The three elders of the Red Eyebrow Army, engaged in units of hundreds or thousands of people, still searching for the official army outside, and must continue to go.

In addition, the officers and soldiers who had recovered from their abilities were also gathering the remaining troops. Even if they were chasing the houses, there would be many people. But seeing that Geng Chun and the others maintained the system and still retained their weapons, they did not dare to invade rashly.

Geng Chun also began to try his best to strengthen the small troops he had gathered.

Peng Chong was puzzled by this. Isn’t it faster to evacuate with the current number of people? Why bother to gather the remaining troops all the way?
