Chapter 541

Yuan Shao's face was cold and solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Gao Lan, the current situation is very bad. In particular, Zhang Xiu's offensive is fierce. Under this premise, I'm afraid dangyin county will not be able to defend it. "

Gao Lan said: "master Ming Jian!"

It's just Gaolan's heart, but it gives birth to a little bit of bad.

Things don't look good.

However, Gao Lan did not answer the call, but waited for Yuan Shao's following.

Yuan Shao's face was extremely solemn and said solemnly: "in the face of Zhang Xiu's attack, there is no other way but to retreat. But if a swarm of people retreats, it is bound to lead to the rout of the whole army. "

"To retreat, it must be an orderly retreat so that there will be no trouble."

"Otherwise, it will collapse."

"In the whole army, you are the only one who has both wisdom and courage and is deeply trusted by the soldiers. You are the most suitable person to guard. Only if you stay and guard the county seat of dangyin County, can the situation be stabilized. "

"Apart from you, I can't find a suitable person for the whole army."

Yuan Shao continued: "after my official withdraws from dangyin County, you only need to guard for another one and a half hours to withdraw. Today, there are more than 20000 troops in the city floor that are not used. I'll give you all the 20000 troops under your command. This time, I'll retreat with only one thousand guards, and the rest of the soldiers will be arranged by you. "

Brush!

Gao Lan's face has changed.

He didn't expect that he had become an abandoned son. In the moment of life and death, Yuan Shao chose to give him up and let him stay to resist Zhang Xiu's attack. You know, Zhang Xiu's army is on the offensive. To resist Zhang Xiu's army is to fight with your life.

To stay is to die.

Gao Lan has no way to refuse. He is a subordinate of Yuan Shao and works for Yuan Shao.

He can only comply with the arrangement.

Gao Lan took a deep breath, and his face became dignified, but he also clasped his hands and saluted: "my Lord, you should obey me. Since the LORD said one and a half hours, one and a half hours. I'd rather die in a humble position than block Zhang Xiu's army for an hour and a half, and I'll never retreat! "

"Good!"

After hearing this, Yuan Shao reached for Gao Lan's hand and solemnly said, "Gao Lan, you must keep it and come back safely."

"Here it is

Gao Lan nodded.

It's just his heart, but it's a sneer.

This has already given up on him. What else do you want to say? And before you come back, it's necessary to hold on. In the final analysis, you should hold on to dangyin county and fight for time for Yuan Shao to retreat.

It's ironic.

Yuan Shao said no more and turned to leave.

Ju Shi, Guo Tu, Shen Pei, Xu you and others, one by one, followed Yuan Shao and left the north gate in a hurry to go to the east gate of dangyin County, ready to break through the east gate.

Gao Lan looks at Yuan Shao leaving. He closes his hands and bows 90 degrees in the direction of Yuan Shao's departure.

This bow broke the friendship with Yuan Shao.

He will stick to the last battle.

He will hold on for an hour and a half.

"General, Yuan Shao has gone too far. He took all the generals, all the civil servants. Although Yuan Shao left us, he asked you to stay and die. "

Gao Lan's bodyguard looked resentful.

"Shut up

Gao Lan gave a low drink and said, "I am a subordinate of the general. I eat your salary and be loyal to you. Now, in a time of crisis, I should finish the task myself. In an hour and a half, I will fight to the death. "

The guards shook their heads and sighed.

Gao Lan didn't take charge of the retreating Yuan Shao and his party. When they returned to the command place, they dispatched soldiers to resist.

After Gao Lan arranged for the soldiers to resist, he came to the front of nearly 20000 soldiers who had not yet been on the battlefield. He looked at the remaining soldiers, his eyes full of determination.

Gao Lan took a breath and said in a loud voice: "you have seen that the general led the civil and military officers to leave. When the general leaves, let me stay and command you to resist Zhang Xiu's army. "

"It's the empress of the temple, but it's no different from death. I'm sorry to ask you to die with me. I've never led a soldier to die like this before. "

"But Gao Lan is here. Please forgive me for being selfish."

"To eat your salary is to be loyal to you."

Gao Lan said, "I will lead you to fight for another hour and a half. The reason is very simple. It was arranged by the general. He asked me to guard for an hour and a half before I could leave. "

"For the last half hour, I will fight to the end."

"Fight to the death to serve the general."

"It's my selfishness."

"You are all soldiers under my command, willing to listen to my command. But I can't let you die unwillingly. Those who are willing to stay and fight with me, stay and fight with me. "

"If you don't want to, retreat into the city."

"I don't want to force you. I want you to make your own choice."In the face of more than 10000 and nearly 20000 soldiers under his command, Gao Lan made it clear that he was going to fight for an hour and a half. He has the intention of surrendering, but the premise is that he will do the final task well.

His ultimate loyalty is the bottom line of his loyalty.

"We will follow the general."

"Follow the general to the death!"

"Follow the general!"

……

One by one soldiers, shout.

These soldiers are the lineage of Gao Lan. They are trained by Gao Lan and have deep feelings with Gao Lan. In the case of Gao Lan being abandoned, they are willing to stand with him.

They are willing to support Gaolan.

Nearly 20000 soldiers, shout together.

When Gao Lan heard the shouts of his soldiers, he was moved by the mist in his eyes. Unexpectedly, all the soldiers would be willing to follow him and die with him.

But in this war, I don't know how many people will die. Knowing this, Gao Lan had to do it for him. Gao Lan took a deep breath, folded his hands and bowed 90 degrees again to thank nearly 20000 soldiers.

He bowed his thanks and got up after a long time.

Gao Lan didn't say any more, because this soldier was his last fighting strength and his last pride. Gao Lan returned to the battlefield again, deployed his troops again, and arranged for his soldiers to resist the attack.

On the tower, Zhao Yun showed off his power, and the rest of the soldiers under Zhang Xiu also kept rushing up.

Fighting, continuous.

The killing continues.

When Gao Lan saw that some soldiers couldn't resist, he sent them forward, so that even though there were a steady stream of soldiers rushing to the city building, Zhang Xiu's army didn't make a breakthrough.

The killing has been going on.

Zhang Xiu at the gate of the city, see a scene upstairs, is also frowning.

The resistance of Yuan Shao's army was too strong. He had continuously weakened the morale of Yuan Shao's army and defeated the soldiers who attacked Yuan Shao, which made the morale of the other side completely destroyed. But he didn't expect that Yuan Shao's soldiers could be so effective.

This is unexpected.

Standing beside Zhang Xiu, Yang Xiu said in a deep voice: "Lord, the army under the command of the city tower is Gao Lan."

"Yes

Zhang Xiu nodded and answered.

Yang Xiu sighed: "Gaolan is a famous general in Hebei. It's amazing how calm you can command even when the morale has dropped so far and the army is in low spirits. "

Zhang Xiu also said with emotion: "Gao Lan is really worthy of his reputation."

At the moment, the siege is still going on.

Time goes by little.

Half an hour!

An hour!

In the twinkling of an eye, it has been an hour, the defense on the tower is still not weakened, but is extremely strong. Even though Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning all went up to the castle and killed on a large scale, Yuan Jun's soldiers who resisted kept on fighting like they didn't want to die.

Even if Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong were fierce, their personal strength was still too weak to play a decisive role in the face of the vast army.

Unless you take Gao Lan.

The problem is that Gao Lan did not fight in person. He was just in the rear, constantly directing the soldiers to resist. Therefore, even if Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning are highly skilled in martial arts, they will not be able to win.

The fighting between the two sides continues.

Kill!

There was a lot of shouting.

Countless soldiers under Zhang Xiu's command are attacking yuan Jun's soldiers. All the yuan soldiers left behind were fighting with all their might. But there are fewer and fewer people left.

Up to now, there are less than 10000 troops left.

Because too many yuan soldiers fled and too many reinforcements died.

The rest are loyal to Gao Lan.

Little by little, an hour and a half has arrived.

At this time, Gao Lan was suddenly relieved. All his energy and energy seemed to have been taken away. He clenched his fist and gave a decisive order: "go on, all the army will surrender!"
