Chapter II Counting in Counting
On a hillside.
"Reporting to General, the enemy troops have camped and rested at the intersection down the slope and have not continued to move forward in formation."
As soon as he said this, a soldier in a scout uniform was seen holding his hand in front of a middle-aged general with a height of eight feet and a rosy complexion and reporting truthfully.
This general was none other than Zhang Ren, a famous general in Shu, and it was he who led his troops to set up an ambush at Luofengpo.
As soon as he finished speaking, before Zhang Ren could respond, the deputy general on one side frowned, and then he cupped his hands and said solemnly: "The enemy is so cautious, I'm afraid they have already seen through your plan, general?"
Hearing this, Zhang Ren's eyes were still watching the movements below quietly, he pondered for a while, and then calmly analyzed: "Did our army find an ambush?"
"This is unlikely. If the enemy was aware of it, how could the forward force just now continue to move forward?"
"Isn't this intentional to expose a flaw?"
However, despite saying this, most of the enemy troops were still resting and recuperating at the crossing, stagnant for a long time. Even Zhang Ren was a little confused for a moment.
But he was still very patient and waved his hand: "Keep waiting!"
He believed that since the enemy would choose to take the mountain road to surprise Luocheng, they would definitely pass.
After all, Luofengpo is a must-pass for this mountain road.
About a few more hours passed.
It seems to be sunset.
At this time, Pang Tong just led his troops to continue their journey and move forward.
Watching the soldiers from each unit slowly pass down the slope, they were completely exposed to the sight of the ambush ambushes on both sides.
The figure riding the white horse became increasingly clear.
On the hillside, Zhang Ren had keen eyesight and discovered this scene. He looked overjoyed and said, "God is really helping me!"
"General, why do you say this?"
"Just wait and see, isn't the man riding the white horse Liu Bei?"
As soon as Zhang Ren said this, the other generals all looked at him intently and were immediately overjoyed.
Yes, isn't the Luma, the divine horse that Liu Bei rides, covered in white?
"I set up an ambush here. I thought I could ambush a partial army at most, but I didn't expect that Liu Bei would be so bold and lead his troops to attack the mountain road himself."
“What a surprise!”
After saying that, Zhang Ren smiled and waved his hand, indicating that all his troops were on standby and ready to attack at any time.
Watching "Liu Bei" walking through step by step...
Zhang Ren was quietly calculating the range.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, Zhang Ren stood up instantly, drew his sword and shouted loudly:
"The man riding the white horse is Liu Bei. Shoot them all together and the enemy army will be defeated!"
As soon as the order was given, after a while, there was no movement at all.
The so-called ambush was not fully revealed.
On the contrary, the sergeants from various departments down the slope were still moving forward slowly.
At this moment, Zhang Ren couldn't help but be puzzled: "What's going on?"
Just when he had a puzzled look on his face, suddenly ambush troops appeared on both sides, but Zhang Ren was extremely frightened.
Why do these ambush soldiers wear different clothes and armor and aim their crossbows at their own side?
"Capture Zhang Ren alive, capture Zhang Ren alive..."
"kill!"
Immediately, waves of crossbowmen began to fire toward the hillside where Zhang Ren was.
"Ah, ah..."
For a moment, many Shu troops who were unprepared let out feeble groans and fell to the ground.
"This, this, this... what is going on? Could it be that Liu Bei had already seen through my ambush, so he took advantage of it?"
Seeing the sergeants nearby being attacked by arrows from all directions and unable to defend themselves, Zhang Ren was worthy of being called a famous general. After a brief panic, he quickly figured out the whole story.
Now that the matter has been leaked, Zhang Ren should have quickly sent troops to evacuate here.
But he suddenly discovered that "Liu Bei" riding a white horse below was still leading the way.
But something else came up in my heart.
"Even if my general's ambush fails today, if Liu Bei can be killed, then the opportunity for our army to counterattack will come."
After pondering for a while, Zhang Ren quickly made up his mind, and immediately took off the two stone bows from his back. He bent the bow and set the arrow in one go, and quickly aimed downwards.
He actually wanted to kill "Liu Bei."
"call out……"
An arrow shot out in response, and the arrow flew straight past in an instant.
The next second, I saw the sergeants on the left and right of the white horse immediately retreating, and there was no one on the horse.
Seeing that Liu Bei had been shot and killed, Zhang Ren was overjoyed and stood up shouting loudly.
Immediately afterwards, he led his troops back to Luocheng with an excited expression to plan the next counterattack.
But at this time.
In the military formation below, the man riding an ordinary black horse looked happy and admired.
This person is military advisor Pang Tong.
At the crossing, when Pang Tong set off again with his troops, he became more cautious and ordered his bodyguards to replace Lu Yiqi, who was riding for him, to march ahead of the army.
At this moment, cold sweat broke out on Pang Tong's back.
But since he escaped the disaster, Pang Tong quickly raised his sword and commanded: "The enemy army has been defeated, the whole army attacks."
An order was given, and all the troops under his command began to rush crazily along the hillside where Zhang Ren was.
Not only that.
At this time, Zhao Tong also led his troops to attack from the flank and directly captured Zhang Ren.
They galloped all the way with their horses and guns drawn, and gradually spotted the figure of Zhang Ren in armor, shouting:
"Zhang Ren, you have fallen into my trap. If you don't surrender now, how will you wait?"
Drinking at a table.
Although Zhang Ren was holding back a lot of breath in his chest, he wanted to lead the others in a fight to the death.
But he found that he had shot "Liu Bei" and the enemy army, instead of being in chaos and collapsing, became more and more courageous as they fought.
He had already expected that the person he shot was the fake Liu Bei.
Looking around, seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for his side, he could only hold back a breath and hurriedly ordered all his troops to evacuate to Luocheng quickly.
There was a confrontation.
The Shu army was almost completely wiped out, except for Zhang Ren and dozens of people who fled in panic.
This battle is over!
Zhao Tong had just brought about two thousand prisoners of war down the mountain to meet with military advisor Pang Tong.
As soon as they got off the mountain, Pang Tong came forward with a smile, cupped his hands and said:
"Commander Zhao saved his life today!"
"Why did the military advisor say this? I follow the Lord's order to protect the military advisor. This is what you should do!"
Hearing this, Zhao Tong also looked humble and returned the greeting slowly.
But when the conversation changed, he said: "It's just that the military advisor must not forget our agreement."
"Hahaha……"
As soon as he said this, Pang Tong laughed loudly, and then said slowly: "This is easy to talk about!"
"With the military qualities shown by Commander Zhao today, Tongxiang thinks that even if I were not there, with my lord's ability to recognize people, I would not treat Commander Zhao badly."
"Haha, having said that, I still need Military Advisor Lao."
"Natural, natural..."
