Chapter 1274: Whimsical Scheme

On the surface, Pound was now covered in blood, as if he had been seriously injured. In fact, Pound was fine except for the serious injury on his arm.

Angry, extremely angry, Pound has debuted for so long, and this is the first time like this.

The enemy general retreated without fighting, violating the unspoken rules of the fighting general. Forget about using small soldiers to surround and kill yourself, and actually hide in the distance and release cold arrows. That's just it, Pound was actually unguarded and hit the other party's cold arrow. If this spreads, his old face will be lost.

In the Shenwu Imperial Court, all the generals cherish their faces. Once his today's events reach the ears of those military generals who like to gossip, maybe they will be famous all over the world, but it is a bad reputation.

Pound felt ashamed, and he didn't want to add a story about being hurt by an unknown junior when others mentioned him in the future.

"Kill those two bastards for Ben. Ben was going to kill them! Kill or kill!" Pound was ruthless and gave the order to kill.

Lei Tong and Yang Hong both heard Pang De's angry shouts, but they didn't pay attention to it at all. Now that Lei Tong has the advantage, how can they be killed by Pound? Lei Tong and Yang Hong are both thinking about slaughtering Pang De later, how to take the credit alone!

However, Lei Tong and Yang Hong seemed to be happy too soon. Because the 15,000 soldiers and horses that Pang De had previously assigned had successfully spared Lei Tong and Yang Hong's back.

"Kill!" These fifteen thousand soldiers and horses directly killed Lei Tong and Yang Hong.

Astound! Big shock.

"What's going on!?" Lei Tong's face turned pale with fright from the sudden appearance of so many soldiers and horses behind him.

Yang Hong really wanted to slap himself. Before, Xu Shu told them that the Liu army in Jingzhou had 20,000 soldiers and horses, but he stupidly thought that it was Xu Shu's intelligence error. Well, now there are so many soldiers and horses behind him, more than all the soldiers and horses on his side, and it has formed a two-sided attack.

"General Lei, let's withdraw now!" Yang Hong said subconsciously.

Lei Tong retorted: "Withdraw? Where to retreat! Pound's guy has cut off our back road, and we can't retreat. ”

Yes, the back road is cut off, and retreat is impossible.

"Why don't we surrender." In order to save his life, Yang Hong didn't mind surrendering. And Yang Hong was prepared in his heart that if Lei Tong refused, he wouldn't mind killing Lei Tong as a meeting gift.

Lei Tong seemed to see through Yang Hong's thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Surrender? Didn't you hear the word kill-to-kill just now? There's no other way for us to do it than rush out. ”

Yang Hong's face became gloomy, even if he wanted to surrender, Pang De would not give it. Since he was not given a way to live, Yang Hong would fight his way out.

"Brethren! We're surrounded! If you don't want to die, you will rush out with Ben! Yang Hong picked up a sword and shouted.

He only had a sword on his body, and the spear had long been cut off by Pound.

Liu Beijun's soldiers all knew their situation. used to have an advantage, but now the situation is reversed, and it is copied by others, which is exciting enough.

Now there is only one way in front of Liu Beijun, and that is to break out.

But will Pound give them such a chance?

Hanpyeong City, the sun in the east has already risen.

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan let the defenders take turns to rest, and they kept preventing Xu Shu's possible attack, and they didn't sleep well all night. Zhang Ren and Yan Yan knew that they had fallen for Xu Shu's plan to exhaust the enemy, and they had wasted a lot of soldiers' physical strength in vain. Zhang Ren and Yan Yan commanded the soldiers to prepare all kinds of defensive materials to avoid Liu Bei's army from attacking the city. With the experience of last night, the defenders have packed up flammable materials such as fire oil, so as not to cause a fire caused by Liu Beijun's rocket attack again.

The defenders all wore panda eyes, which showed that they didn't sleep well enough last night. Some of the soldiers felt that their eyelids were very heavy and drowsy.

Seeing such a situation, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan were worried, how could they stop it in this case.

Until the third pole of the sun, Liu Beijun did not move. This made Zhang Ren and Yan Yan puzzled.

Before that, Zhang Ren suspected that Xu Shu would play some conspiracy. After last night's night attack, Zhang Ren expected Xu Shu to exhaust the physical strength of the defenders of Hanping City, so that Liu Beijun could launch an attack on the city early the next morning. But at present, Liu Beijun seems to have wasted a lot of time.

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan were confused, and they couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Xu Shu's gourd.

But soon, Liu Beijun made a move.

This time, Xu Shu even poured out of the nest and brought all the troops with him.

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan were very jealous of Xu Shu's actions being so big. The defenders of Hanpyeong City were physically demanding, but it was no problem to defend them with a strong castle.

Most of the defenders are veterans, and they are used to fighting on the battlefield one by one, even if Liu Beijun attacks in an all-out way at this time, they are confident that they will beat Liu Beijun back.

This is the self-confidence of a veteran of a hundred battles.

But these self-confidence have no effect at all in Xu Shu's eyes.

"Soldiers, cheer up! Liu Bei's minions are here again. Yan Yan kept chanting, hoping to cheer up the soldiers.

The defenders were very obedient and wide-eyed, and if they were negligent in the slightest, they might die, so they couldn't be unscrupulous.

Xu Shu led all the Liu Beijun to set up a position outside Hanping City, and it seemed that this time, Xu Shu wanted to take Hanping City in one fell swoop.

"Someone! Position! Xu Shu gave an order lightly.

With Xu Shu's order, a large number of infantry holding shields slowly walked out of the formation, this is the shield in their hands is a little different, the surface is actually silvery-white.

According to Xu Shu's arrangement, the infantry stood outside the city wall, and then the arhats were stacked one after another, and the two were stacked together. Behind these infantry stood a large number of archers.

The defenders of Hanping City were stunned, it was the first time they had seen the enemy move like this. Two soldiers stacked on top of each other, what kind of operation is this? Is it for fun?

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan were not in such a mood, and the two of them were faintly uneasy in their hearts.

Liu Beijun's shield soldiers quickly let the defenders know what they were going to do. They stacked two shields on top of each other, and a large pile of silver-white shields was divided into two layers, lined up.

The silver-white shield shimmered brightly in the sunlight.

Yan Yan and Zhang Ren suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, they finally understood what Xu Shu was doing. It's just too poisonous!

Liu Beijun's shield soldiers adjusted the angle of their shields, and a burst of dazzling white light shot straight at the defenders of Hanping City.

In fact, this is Xu Shu's fundamental intention. His killer weapon is not the siege machine and the troops, but the shield in the hands of these infantrymen. Xu Shu had prepared these shields a long time ago, and ordered the soldiers to polish the surface of the shields brightly. So many shields stacked on top of each other, like a large mirror, reflected the sunlight directly to the defenders of Hanpyeong City.

People's eyes can't look directly at the strong light, Liu Beijun launched sunlight to Hanping City, then the defenders will definitely not be able to open their eyes. If you can't keep your eyes open, how can you fight back? What's more, the defender soldiers who were tossed all night by Xu Shu last night.

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan couldn't open their eyes, let alone ordinary soldiers.

"The time has come! Zhuo Fake, Wu Lan, this is a great time for you to capture Hanping City! If you can't win Hanping this time, this army division doesn't need to say anything. Xu Shu said lightly.

Zhuo Yu and Wu Lan admired Xu Shu, they wanted to know how Xu Shu's brain was structured, and he could whimsically use such a trick to attack the city.

Xu Shu made such an arrangement, if Zhuo Zhen and Wu Lan couldn't take Hanping City, neither of them would have to mix in Yizhou.

Zhuo Zhen and Wu Lan did not reply, they expressed their determination with actions.

"Kill!" Liu Beijun carried the ladder and launched a general attack on Hanping City.

Liu Beijun's archers were also unambiguous, they hid behind the shield soldiers and launched a dense attack of feathered arrows against Hanping City.

Under the reflection of the sun, the defenders could not open their eyes at all. Because as soon as they opened their eyes, they were very uncomfortable.

Zhang Renqiang held on to the discomfort of being exposed to direct sunlight, and shouted: "Archer, shoot the enemy to death for Ben!" ”

However, his orders seemed somewhat futile. The defenders' archers could not aim and could only shoot blindly, and their ability to counterattack was really limited.

The resistance of the defenders of Hanping City was greatly reduced, and Liu Bei's siege troops successfully reached the city walls. Zhuo Yu and Wu Lan desperately led the soldiers to climb the ladder.

The soldiers of the defenders may not be able to attack Liu Beijun in the distance, but it is not much of a problem to attack the soldiers of Liu Jun under the city walls. However, Liu Beijun's attacks this time were continuous, and the number of cloud ladders was too many.

Finally, Liu Beijun climbed the city wall, and the number slowly changed from a few to hundreds, and in the end, the battle between the defenders and Liu Beijun spread to the city wall of Hanping City.

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan were very skilled in martial arts, and they relied on their personal bravery to constantly kill Liu Beijun's soldiers.

However, many soldiers in the defending army were physically exhausted and could not confront Liu Beijun, who was full of physical strength. Even if Zhang Ren and Yan Yan killed more Liu Beijun soldiers, it would be useless, and the defeat of the defenders of Hanping City was decided.

"Yi Ling, let's withdraw now! Hanping City can no longer be defended. Yan Yan is very experienced, and he knows that Hanping City cannot be defended.

"I'm not reconciled! Unwilling! Zhang Ren almost said this sentence with a roar.

This sentence reached Xu Shu's ears.

I saw him smile slightly, and said calmly: "What if you are unwilling?" You should be proud to have made this division go to such great lengths to calculate you. ”

On the walls of Hanping City, Liu Bei's army had formed an overwhelming advantage in numbers, and the defenders were defeated one after another.

The battle is almost over.

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, who originally wanted to hold out until the arrival of reinforcements, had no choice but to abandon Hanping City and lead the defenders to retreat from the east gate.

But even if Hanping City was abandoned, there was a huge problem for the defenders to retreat. They hadn't slept well all night, and a few of them had the stamina to evacuate.

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan don't have to worry, as military generals, they have their own war horses to ride. Ordinary soldiers can only rely on their own legs.

Knowing that Zhang Ren and Yan Yan wanted to escape, Xu Shu would not let Zhang Ren and Yan Yan get their wish. If the city is gone, you can fight again, if you let Zhang Ren and Yan Yan run, there will be endless troubles in the future.

Xu Shu decisively ordered the whole army to ignore Hanping City and directly pursue and kill Zhang Ren and Yan Yan. Liu Beijun followed behind Zhang Ren and Yan Yan like a hungry wolf, devouring Zhang Ren and Yan Yan's troops little by little.

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan really wanted to go back and fight Xu Shu to the death. But as soon as they saw the panicked expressions of the soldiers under their command, they knew that if they didn't get rid of Xu Shu quickly, they could only end up with death. Xu Shu will definitely not let them go.

Indeed, who Xu Shu can let go, that is, he will not let go of Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, the two of them are Liu Bei's thorns in the eye and flesh.

At the same time, Pang De had already defeated Lei Tong and Yang Hong's two troops and horses.

With the strength of Lei Tong and Yang Hong, they could not compete with the Jingzhou Liu Army led by the angry Pang De, and they had no chance of breaking through at all. Of course, Lei Tong and Yang Hong succeeded in breaking through, because they decisively abandoned their troops and chose to flee alone.

Abandoning the army and stealing his own life, only Lei Tong and Yang Hong can do it. Anyway, Lei Tong and Yang Hong didn't feel a shame.

Without Lei Tong and Yang Hong in charge, the remaining Liu Beijun is the meat on Pang De's board, and he is allowed to be slaughtered by Pang De.

After wasting some strength, Liu Jun of Jingzhou killed Liu Beijun of Yizhou who was blocking them and was defeated. Liu Beijun of Yizhou, who lost his main general, fled and died.

This time, because Pound was too confident, he was successfully attacked by a sneak attack, and the casualties were a bit large. According to a rough estimate, Liu Jun in Jingzhou suffered at least 5,000 casualties.

Pang De's heart is dripping blood, the five thousand soldiers and horses are gone, and this has not yet fought against Xu Shu's main force.

Pound felt that he had done something wrong before, and he was very wrong, and he should not have divided his troops.

But since the big mistake has been made, the consequences have already occurred, and there is no way to change it.

Pound cheered up and ordered the soldiers to hurry to Hanpyeong. But Pound got very bad news. Hanping City was broken by Xu Shu, and Zhang Ren and Yan Yan did not know whether they were alive or dead.

Now it's a disaster. Pound knew he was out of it. was originally going to let Zhang Ren and Yan Yan intervene when they were about the same as Xu Shu. I didn't expect Xu Shu's movements to be so fast, and he ended up in Hanping City when Pang De didn't arrive.

Pound's plans were all in vain, and the consequences were even more serious.

The defeat of Zhang Ren and Yan Yan meant that Yizhou's strongest force to resist Liu Bei disappeared, and Liu Bei was given the space and time to stabilize Yizhou.

If this matter is known to the imperial court, it will be easy to dismiss and remove the official.

Pound hurriedly ordered the troops to speed up and see if there was still a chance to rescue and save the situation.

Whether it can succeed or not depends on whether God gives Pound such a chance.
