Pang Tong was smiling brighter and brighter now as he survived the disaster. At the same time, he also felt a good impression of Zhao Tong in his heart.

When Zhao Tong proposed to counterattack and defeat the Shu army's ambush, Pang Tong didn't take it seriously at that time. In his opinion, this mountain road was figured out by him and Fazheng through the map of Xichuan overnight.

Simply, Zhao Tong had an idea and made a bet with him in a joking way, and then he reluctantly agreed to the counter-ambush strategy.

This plan was also Zhao Tong's temporary idea.

He led the vanguard forward first, and with the help of the surrendered Shu soldiers who were familiar with the local mountains and terrain, he quietly killed the ambush troops from behind and on the side of Luofeng Slope.

As for Pang Tong, he led his main force to camp at the intersection to delay and confuse Zhang Ren.

Zhao Tong knew very well that as long as the main force did not pass, the forwards would not be attacked if they passed first.

After a long time, Pang Tong couldn't help but suddenly asked: "Tong had some doubts in his heart. Why did Commander Zhao categorically conclude that there must be an enemy ambush at Luofengpo?"

Hearing this, Zhao Tong's handsome face showed a kind smile, and he confidently replied: "Maybe this is the general's intuition?"

"Given the steep terrain and countless precipitous points on this mountain road, we believe that there are many people in the Shu army who are very familiar with the local terrain."

"What's more, Zhang Ren is also known as the best general in Shu, so Na Tong has to put more thought into it."

After saying this, Pang Tong looked at Zhao Tong's extremely confident reply. His favorable impression of him also increased. He pondered for a while and rolled his eyes. He seemed to be preparing to test Zhao Tong and give him more.

Given the chance to perform, he asked:

"I wonder if Commander Zhao has any opinions on the next deployment?"

After finishing the conversation, Zhao Tong thought for a moment, and then calmly said: "Military advisor, according to the last few days of repeated conversations with local sergeants, I learned that it is about thirty miles further west from Luofengpo.

You can go straight through Luocheng and arrive at the back between Mianzhu and Luocheng."

"As for Luocheng, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack with one man in charge. Even if the lord brings the main force, it will be extremely difficult to break through the city in a short time. Now that our army has broken the enemy's ambush, why not go to the enemy's rear and wait for an opportunity?

?”

After the words fell, Zhao Tong showed a calm and calm expression.

Seeing his expression, Pang Tong clearly understood what he meant, so he couldn't help but smile and praise: "General Zhao is really like his father!"

"The military advisor praised me."

After destroying the Shu army's ambush, Pang Tong still led his troops to move forward. In this battle, Zhao Tong's wisdom and bravery were fully demonstrated, and he was ordered to continue to lead the vanguard.

As for the more than 2,000 captives, a small number of sergeants were sent to the rear for custody and will be dealt with after the war.

After all, this army has recently surrendered, and now we have to go deep behind enemy lines, so it certainly cannot be incorporated into the army on the spot.

…

Night falls, almost Hai hour.

Zhang Ren was just disgraced and fled back to Luocheng with dozens of remnants of his troops.

At this moment, the general Liu Xun, who had just been appointed as the general of Luo City, quickly greeted him outside the west gate after receiving the news.

The two of them gathered together and looked at Zhang Ren's desolate expression. Liu Xun suddenly looked extremely confused and asked hurriedly: "General, what are you doing?"

Everyone in the city looked puzzled.

Although this disastrous defeat left him humiliated and heartbroken.

But after taking a deep breath, he slowly explained the cause and effect.

hiss……

"What's going on? The enemy has already seen through the general's plan?"

"This...how is this possible?"

For a moment, Liu Xun, the commander-in-chief, also showed an expression of disbelief after hearing this.

However, now we are facing a formidable enemy. According to the battle report in the evening, Liu Bei has personally led the main force to advance along the main road and set up camp outside the north gate of Luocheng.

Now is the time to employ people, and it is not the time to punish Zhang Ren.

On the contrary, Liu Xun also comforted him and said: "The general does not need to worry about this defeat. This battle is not a war crime for the general!"

"If the traitor Zhang Song hadn't presented the map of Xichuan to the big-eared thief, how would the enemy know about the surprise mountain road at Luofengpo?"

Even though he was not held accountable, Zhang Ren was still brooding over this defeat.

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Ren once again showed a look of determination on his face. He cupped his hands and said, "Young master, please give me another chance to show my guilt and make meritorious service."

"General?"

After hearing this, Liu Xun looked a little puzzled.

Immediately, Zhang Ren regained his calm and calm expression, and said slowly: "Sir, since the enemy has broken through Luofengpo this time, I expect that they will continue to advance after the main force of Liu Bei's army launches an attack."

"This partial division will definitely attack the west gate in order to contain our army's strength."

After all, Zhang Ren's intention was extremely obvious.

He wanted to hide an army again in the mountains and forests on both sides of the west gate and wait for the enemy to come to attack the city, then kill them in one fell swoop...

Good retribution for today's one-shot revenge.

After Xu Xu heard about Zhang Ren's deployment, Liu Xun thought it was reasonable, so he ordered another five thousand troops to be allocated.

Having gained trust and support, Zhang Ren was full of energy at the moment. He quickly handed over his hand to thank him and then went to make arrangements in an orderly manner.

the next few days.

Although Liu Bei's army has already arrived at the city, due to the strong strength of Luocheng, his army is also busy cutting down trees and building various siege equipment.

He also sent people to challenge outside the city and persuade the enemy generals to surrender.

However, Liu Zhang's eldest son is now guarding the city, so the attempt to persuade him to surrender naturally ended without any problems!

The main force did not launch an attack, and the partial divisions led by Pang Tong and Zhao Tong still had no next move or plan.

With this period of time as a buffer, Zhang Ren also planned the ambush outside the west gate in an orderly manner.

Everything is ready now, just waiting for the enemy to come.

More than ten days later.

Early June.

The main force stationed at the north gate of Luocheng began to launch a full-scale attack on the city, and Liu Bei even supervised the battle himself.

And as the war progressed.

Pang Tong and Zhao Tong also made new moves.

Just when the offensive and defensive battle of Luocheng was in full swing, suddenly, a Liu Bei army with excellent armor and powerful combat power came from the bamboo forest outside Mianzhu City.

This army marched at night, but within a few days, they had successively plundered more than a hundred grain trucks sent from Chengdu to Luocheng.

This news just caught my attention.

It shocked Mianzhu and Luocheng almost at the same time.

When this news came out, Zhang Ren, who was already prepared, was immediately frightened.

He suddenly felt that this enemy general seemed unusual!

It was as if he could predict his thoughts.

From Luofengpo in the previous chapter to the current ambush outside Xikui Gate, his combat arrangements have all been revealed.

This enemy force did not make a surprise attack on Luocheng, but instead rushed to the rear.
Chapter completed!
