Lei Chunze did not talk nonsense, but ordered the people in the city who could use weapons to climb up to the city wall and prepare to defend Xiangyang City to the death. Seeing Lei Chunze retreat, Pan Yang sent troops to surround Xiangyang City, and then set up camp and prepare for a little while.
Rest and restore your physical strength, and then attack the whole line.
When Zhuge Shan saw Lei Chunze coming down, he hurriedly met him and said, "Now Xiangyang City is in danger and Your Majesty is missing, what should we do?"
Lei Chunze shook his head and said, "Aren't you a military advisor from Xiangyang City? What should you do if you ask me?" After that, he turned around and left, leaving Zhuge Shan in the wind.
On the second day, Pan Yang brought his troops to the city again. Seeing that Xiangyang City was not very disturbing, he ordered a full-scale attack.
Fortunately, Xiangyang City was rigorous in its military management and extremely strong in combat. Although its troops were absolutely weak, it also resisted waves of attacks from the Eastern Wu. Pan Yang had no choice but to call the gold and withdraw his troops and return to the camp to discuss solutions.
He sent someone to write a letter to Lu Xun in Maicheng, asking for the next siege.
After Lu Xun learned of this situation, he personally came to the scene of Xiangyang City and found that the outer garrison of Xiangyang City had changed a lot before. There were many devices that automatically fire bows and arrows on the city wall. At the same time, the city gate was reinforced several floors and was close to the city gate.
Traps were set up in some areas of the city, and many soldiers of the Eastern Wu fell into the trap before they even arrived under the city wall.
Lu Xun returned to the camp with his troops and discussed: "It seems that I underestimated Lei Chunze. Legend has it that he is known as a craftsman. Now, it is really amazing."
Pan Yang said: "Do you retreat now?"
Lu Xun smiled and said, "It's not that difficult," and then he called other generals and ordered a plan.
Huang Shumin crossed the river to attack Fancheng. Xiangyang City was short of troops. The Eastern Wu suddenly rushed to the city, which made Lei Chunze feel very difficult. After observing several battles on the city wall, he found that he had set up an automatic shooting on the city wall.
The bow and arrow device and the traps set up in front of the city gate played a great role, causing the Eastern Wu to suffer heavy losses recently, and he was relieved of a lot of peace.
Later, the attacks became less and less until one day, some seriously injured soldiers of the Eastern Wu surrendered.
Lei Chunze welcomed into the city, and Zhuge Shan accompanied the interrogation. The soldiers of the Eastern Wu said, "Recently, the attack on the city has caused heavy losses to the Eastern Wu, so many soldiers were dissatisfied. We went to persuade Pan Yang, but we didn't expect to be beaten by him."
After exposing his shirt, everyone only saw that there was no complete place on his body, and many places were still bleeding, which hurts when they looked.
The soldier continued: "We were originally natives in Jingzhou. When the Eastern Wu attacked Jingzhou, so that Guan Gong was arrested when he fled in Maicheng. We felt very guilty. In addition, Pan Yang did not regard our lives as his life and asked us to attack forcibly
If the city is slight, it will be whipped. It is really angering. Please keep us in without any grudges!"
Lei Chunze nodded and arranged for people to take the surrendered soldiers to rest.
Zhuge Shan suggested: "The frequency of the Eastern Wu attacking Xiangyang City has decreased, which proves that they have no choice but to use the city defense set by you. If you send someone to surrender at this time, will there be a fraud?"
Lei Chunze shook his head and said, "No, look at the wounds on those soldiers. If they were surrendering, they would not have done such a ruthless move."
Zhuge Shan said: "That may not be possible. On the eve of the Battle of Red Cliff, Zhou Yu whipped Huang Gai hard, making his skin burst out, and finally proved that he had surrendered."
After hearing this, Lei Chunze agreed with Zhuge Shan’s idea and said, “We should keep our hands on it and observe the situation before talking about it!”
On the second day, the Wu army did not launch another attack. Instead, the surrendered soldiers of the Eastern Wu offered their own advice: "Pan Yang did not dare to launch an attack, I am afraid that the soldiers would mutiny. We can take the initiative to attack. Lord Lei also made a contribution.
.”
After hearing this, Lei Chunze smiled slightly and said, "I also think we should attack."
Zhuge Shan hurried forward to stop him and said, "North Wu is now in a strong morale. It is better to try his best to defend, and you cannot launch an attack."
Lei Chunze raised his hand up and signaled Zhuge Shan to stop admonishing him, saying, "We are not familiar with the situation where the Eastern Wu camp is stationed, and I'm afraid you will still have to lead the way."
The soldier bowed and said, "We all sincerely surrender to Western Shu, and we have no intention. Please rest assured Lord Lei." After saying that, he continued, "The Wu army set up a place to store grain on the east side of the camp, only Lord Lei is needed.
Give me ten cavalry and they will definitely be destroyed!"
After hearing this, Lei Chunze laughed and said, "We in Western Shu will not turn people away. As long as you have the ability and sincerely serve the Western Shu court, we will definitely reuse it if we don't ask about birth."
He said: "There are too few ten cavalrymen. I will send you thirty more cavalrymen, so be sure to destroy the opponent's granary."
The man bowed and secretly left the city at night.
A total of ten people surrendered in the Eastern Wu Dynasty. The person in charge was named Zhao Huang. After several contacts, Lei Chunze felt that he was a talent and intended to win him over and use his talents.
After Zhao Huang left, Zhuge Shan sighed: "Now they know some of our army's defense. Lord Lei is letting the tiger return to the mountain!"
Lei Chunze smiled and said, "Do you think I didn't think about it? I will take care of the other soldiers who surrendered. If he fled directly, the heads of these people will sacrifice flags for our army tomorrow."
After Zhao Huang left the city, he secretly approached the grain warehouse. Soon, the spies reported how the grain warehouse was ignited and how the Wu army was defeated.
After Zhao Huang returned, Lei Chunze personally held a banquet and said to everyone: "If there are more talents like General Zhao Huang in my Xiangyang City, why worry about the country's prosperity?"
Zhao Huang seemed very modest and said, "Mr. Lei takes us in without any grudges, and we should repay us for our death!"
When the banquet ended, Zhuge Shan still felt something was wrong and advised: "Mr. Lei, Zhao Huang and forty cavalrymen easily burned the grain warehouse and killed the Wu army. It was really unbelievable. It must be from the Eastern Wu.
A bitter plan.”
Lei Chunze actually had this consideration in his heart, so he said, "In the future, I will send him to fight with the Wu army. If he can kill the generals of the Eastern Wu, then it will represent loyalty."
On the second day, Pan Yang indeed came to besiege Xiangyang City with his troops. Lei Chunze sent Zhao Huang out of the station. Zhao Huang took the lead and walked out of the city gate. Pan Yang said angrily: "What are the faces of the traitors?
”
He replied: "Mr. Lei treats me as kind as a mountain. How can you be compared with a thief like you? Don't talk nonsense, take your life!" After saying that, he pushed his gun and rode his horse straight to Pan Yang.
Huang Luan, the general around Pan Yang, came out to fight. The two fought for ten rounds. Huang Luan was finally weak and was stabbed to death by Zhao Huang. Zhao Huang quickly beheaded him. The morale of the Shu army was very strong. Zhao Huang
Huang shouted, "Their grain warehouse has been destroyed and the food has been cut off. Everyone rushed with me!"
Pan Yang's troops were defeated like mountains and fell, countless people trampled on each other, and many surrendered on the spot. Zhao Huang won a great victory and led the victorious army back to Xiangyang City. Lei Chunze personally received the favor.
Zhao Huang personally presented the enemy general's head to Zhuge Shan and said, "Please check it out!"
Zhuge Shan waved her hand and said, "The general is very skilled in martial arts and loyal. I used to guess it with a villain's heart."
