Chapter Fifty-Seven: Counterattack

  "Big, big brother!" Chen Lan had just calmed down for a short while when she started panicking again. Lei Bu's body suddenly returned, not only did he return, but his body was also covered in bloodstains, and the blade of the knife in his hand had a notch in it.

  "What's wrong?!" Chen Lan saw Lei Bu's adopted son and was suddenly flustered.

  "Go, go quickly!" Lebu said with big mouthfuls of heavy breathing.

  "What about the back mountain?!" Chen Lan asked anxiously. The sound of killing had been coming from the back mountain until now, and not only did the sound not decrease, but it seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. The flames were already very dazzling.

  "Lü Bu! Lü Bu is at Mount Tai!" Lei Bo said the outcome that Chen Lan least wanted to hear.

  "It's all over!" Chen Lan also knew that Lü Bu's army could no longer be stopped, and the Eight Public Mountains would not be able to hold on. He was able to clear his head and leave Yuan Shu when he declared himself emperor, and even took advantage of Yuan Shu's defeat to plunder him, leaving Yuan Shu with no way to deal with him. Chen Lan naturally had something special about him.

  "When the machine is set up, 'Eight Public Mountains can't hold on!' Chen Lan calmed down, he had an unfulfilled desire, occupying Eight Public Mountains and betraying Yuan Pu were his strategies. He thought of contacting Cao Cao, who had already occupied Yan State and Xuzhou, as long as he surrendered to Cao Cao and offered him half of Yangzhou, he would definitely be able to occupy a place in the Cao army."

  Robbing Yuanshu was also a part of Chen Lan's plan, and even dragging Yuanshu back to prevent him from leaving was all for the sake of the eternal jade seal in Yuanshu's hand. As long as he got his hands on the eternal jade seal, Chen Lan would be able to enjoy wealth and glory forever.

  Who would have thought that now there is an extra Lü Bu, originally there were the treacherous Eight Trigrams Mountain, and Chen Lan was confident in defeating Lü Bu. Now it's all been broken through, if Chen Lan knew that Lü Bu came to attack him just for 5,000 stones of grain, would he not go mad with rage? If only you had said so earlier, even if it were 10,000 stones, as long as Lü Bu didn't attack him, he would have been willing to give them!

  "Break through!" Chen Lan gritted her teeth, Ba Gong Mountain couldn't be defended anymore. If they waited any longer, Lü Bu's army would rush up and they'd be done for. They wouldn't even be able to escape.

  The rear mountain has been occupied by Lü Bu's army, now if we want to break through, we can only go straight ahead.

  "There is also Lü Bu's army below the mountain!" Lei Bo said hastily.

  Chen Lan counted the number of people. Out of the 10,000-strong army on the mountain, excluding those who had been scorched by Lü Bu's troops, there were less than 3,000 left in front of him now. However, these 3,000 were all elite soldiers.

  The mountain below is also heavily guarded by Ryubou's army. The eight public mountains are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is equally difficult to break through the siege.

  Chen Lan gritted her teeth, "Second Brother, it's time for them to come out!"

  "Big brother, you're kidding!" Lei Bu's eyes also flashed with a hint of joy, but he hesitated again. "Big brother, Lu Bu's army is not small down the mountain, if we suffer losses, won't all our family's assets from these years be gone?"

  "One day of use after a thousand days of preparation! If we don't use it now, are we going to wait until we're dead?! Chen Lan snorted coldly "Release the wolf smoke, it's time for them to make their move!"

  "Yes!" Lei Bu passed down the order, and a wolf smoke rose from the top of Ba Gong Mountain.

  "Second brother, you take the lead! I'll cover the rear. The three thousand elite troops are our chance to rise again after we escape!" Chen Lan said, not caring about the remaining bandits on the back mountain.

  "Got it, big brother!" Lei Bu was a human being, so he didn't want to die. Having offended Lü Bu so deeply and getting caught would certainly mean death.

  "Brothers, we can't hold on to Ba Gong Mountain anymore! We are bandits and will be caught for sure. Our only way out is to charge forward, charge into the vast sky! If we don't charge out, there's only one dead end!" Chen Lan was rallying their spirits, but the big fire in the back mountain had already made these subordinates uneasy.

  "We are no longer Yuan Shu's army, we are now bandits. If we get caught by the government troops, that's a dead end. Whoever wants to live, follow me, Lei Bo, and charge out!" Lei Bo was also a general who knew the importance of morale.

  "Charge out, charge out!" No one wants to die, these bandits are the same, ants still want to survive, let alone humans.

  "Now there is still a group of Lü Bu's army blocking our way to life, what do you say we should do?" Chen Lan asked back.

  "Kill them! Kill them!" three thousand people shouted in unison.

  "Kill them and we can live! Brothers, kill for me!" Lei Bu was the first to open the gate of the village and rushed out.

  "Kill, kill, kill!" Three thousand fleeing bandits charged down, rushing towards the square formation of Lü Bu's army below.

  Liu Mang at the foot of the mountain is quite comfortable, this time finally don't have to go to the battlefield again, just stay down and wait for Lü Boss to deal with the enemy, listening to the killing sounds above and that firelight.

  "Lü boss is going to take care of the enemy now!" Liu Mang took off his helmet, it was too hot and wearing a helmet on such a scorching day was unbearable.

  "General, shouldn't Master have taken down Ba Gong Mountain by now?!" Cheng Yu also heard it.

  "Lü Boss personally took action, those two idiots wouldn't be unlucky otherwise!" Liu Mang also admired Lü Boss's martial arts skills, completely invincible like a war god.

  It won't be long before we can rest inside the mountain stronghold! At least there are houses inside, I'm tired of camping outdoors, Liu Mang has had enough, it's too uncomfortable.

  He stretched and Liu Mang wanted to sleep. "Cheng Yu, keep an eye out! If Lü Boss sends someone, wake me up again! I'll take a nap first!"

  "General!" Cheng Yu wanted to stop him, but Liu Mang had already dismounted and leaned against a tree, yawning. A great general who could sleep on the battlefield, Liu Mang was indeed the first.

  "What?! " Cheng Yu helplessly sighed and could only bitterly smile as he gazed at Ba Gong Mountain.

  Liu Mang is really good at fighting, from Shouchun onwards, Liu Mang hasn't had a comfortable sleep, either going to discuss matters or going to practice military skills, so tiring.

  "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The earth began to shake.

  "General! General!" Cheng Yu shook Liu Mao awake.

  "Stop messing around, Cheng Yu!" Liu Mang opened Cheng Yu's hand. Liu Mang usually slept like a dead pig and was very hard to wake up.

  "General, wake up quickly! Wake up!" Cheng Yu saw that Liu Mang couldn't be woken and panicked "I've offended the General!" He swung his large hand and slapped him.

  "Bang!"

  "Ah!" Liu Mang suddenly jumped up "Who the hell hit me!" No matter who it was, when sleeping soundly, the most annoying thing is being woken up by someone, let alone being slapped awake.

  "General Liu!" Cheng Yu had seen Liu Mang's outburst before, at that time he was able to kill people with a knife, and the blood on his face didn't faze him in the slightest.

  Liu Meng saw Cheng Yu's appearance and knew that this slap was given by Cheng Yu, but he couldn't care about it now.

  A loud rumbling sound shook the ground "An earthquake?!" No way, Shouchun belongs to Huainan, this is not Sichuan, it's impossible for an earthquake. Even if there was one, it wouldn't be so powerful.

  "Cavalry! There's cavalry!" Liu Mang suddenly remembered, and the sound of the wolves on horseback was like this when they were mobilized in Bianzhou.

  But wasn't Bianzhou Wolf Cavalry taken away by Lao Lu?

  "Enemy troops, enemy troops!" Liu Mang's eyes widened, and the ground shook. This meant that the cavalry was not far from here.

  "Kill!" At this time, Bao Xin led 3,000 elite troops from Mount Bagong and charged towards Lü Bu's army, shouting "Kill!" all day long.

  "Put the whole army on high alert and prepare to meet the enemy!" Liu Mang didn't want to die, now under the entire Ba Gong Mountain there were only his City Guard Camp and logistics troops, don't expect the logistics troops to have much combat power, it would be good if they could just not drag their feet.

  Now we can only fight to the death.

  "Haha!" Lei Bu charged down the mountain, cavalry! Indeed it was cavalry, this was the two thousand man cavalry that Chen Lan and Lei Bu had spent over a decade gathering, even when robbing Yuan Shu he hadn't been willing to use them, now that Ba Gong Mountain had been breached, Chen Lan had finally brought out his treasure.

  "Kill! Kill them all!" Chen Lan was also furious, what had happened to her family in the past? Now that their home had been destroyed by Lü Bu, they were forced to flee.

  "Golden Armor Man! It's that Golden Armor Man!" Chen Lan's eyes shone with hatred, Lü Bu wore golden armor, and this general also wore golden armor. This man must have a major connection to Lü Bu, killing him would definitely hurt Lü Bu.

  "Lü Fengxian, I'll make you regret offending me, Chen Lan!"
