"Another letter from Han Xuan?" Liu Pan and Chen Qin both frowned.
Liu Pan opened it and looked at it and handed it to Chen Qin. After Chen Qin finished reading it, Liu Pan asked: "Is it credible?"
In the letter, Han Xuan explained why he did not respond and proposed a new strategy to defeat Liu Zhang. Chen Qin pondered for a long time: "I am still doubtful. I must confirm it with General Huang before I can draw a conclusion."
Liu Pan and Chen Qin came to Huang Zhong's hospital bed. Huang Zhong read the letter. Chen Qin asked Huang Zhong: "Old General, this letter says that most of Liu Zhang's soldiers were poisoned. Liu Zhang only had 8,000 soldiers in total. If so, when
There are no more than 4,000 people left, but you were ambushed three times. Is it wrong?"
Huang Zhong carefully recalled the battle that night. First, the city gate was attacked and he had no idea what was true. The second time he met Zhang Ren, Zhang Ren did not chase him out. Now that he thought about it, it must have been a bluff. The third time he attacked from three sides and was surrounded on three sides, it was not possible.
There were more than 4,000 people, but the Jingzhou soldiers were all gone and could only be massacred.
Huang Zhong suddenly turned red in the face, beat the edge of the bed with his hands and shouted miserably: "Shame, shame, shame in my life. I led 5,000 elite vanguard troops, and was wiped out by less than 4,000 people. What a shame."
Huang Zhong beat his chest and stamped his feet, and blood overflowed from the original wound. Liu Pan and Chen Qin hurriedly stepped forward to look at each other. They looked at each other and felt that Han Xuan's words were very credible. Most of the Han Shou defenders were indeed poisoned as Han Xuan said.
However, Yizhou counselor Fa Zheng took the risk to gather the defenders in one place. Due to two reasons: most of the soldiers were poisoned and Zhang Ren led troops to attack the camp, the defense was tight. By chance, Huang Zhong accidentally attacked and succeeded.
But Chen Qin was still not at ease, so she calmed Huang Zhong's mood and confirmed: "Old general, since you raised the fire as a signal, is the code in the city the same as what Han Xuan agreed?"
After listening to Chen Qin's words, Huang Zhong felt even more regretful and sighed: "The veteran is incompetent. At that time, I only saw the city gate open, so I entered the city directly without thinking much. I was brave and reckless, and delayed the three armies. I will not die."
redemption."
"Old general, don't blame yourself." Chen Qin persuaded Huang Zhong and said to Liu Pan: "Brother, it seems that the city defenders really thought that Huang Zhong was collaborating with Han Shou to poison the people. In this way..."
Both Liu Pan and Chen Qin firmly believed that Han Xuan would not betray him, and they both looked happy at the same time. If Han Xuan's explanation could be believed, then the subsequent strategies would naturally be credible as well.
Ten thousand people attacking Hanshou, which was guarded by thousands of defenders, could not be captured in a short time. Moreover, the Jingzhou army did not have much food and grass, and the food roads were cut off.
Look at Yinggu, as long as the Sichuan army's food and grass are robbed, the isolated city of Hanshou will be destroyed.
Liu Pan and Chen Qin led the army to Luoying Valley. They observed from a distance and saw some woodcutter at the mouth of the valley. However, those woodcutter were all strong and young in appearance. They were always wandering near the mouth of the valley. Chen Qin immediately concluded that it was Sichuan.
The guard post of the Military Food Cave.
"According to soldiers who are familiar with the terrain here, there are mountains on both sides of Luoying Valley like knives, with a canyon in the middle. In some places, only an ox can pass through. The terrain is dangerous and hidden. It is a good place to hide food, and it is also difficult to attack.
Get off." Chen Qin said to Liu Pan.
Liu Pan pondered for a moment: "So we must attack the mountain pass quickly, otherwise even if there are hundreds of people guarding it, we can still block our army until Liu Zhang comes to help, Liu Du."
"The end will be here."
"Immediately lead five hundred sergeants, go up the mountain, kill the woodcutter at the mountain pass as quickly as possible, and capture the mountain pass."
"yes."
Liu Du led his soldiers up the underground river ditch until they were less than a millet away from the mountain pass. They swarmed out and rushed towards the woodcutter. The woodcutter was indeed in disguise. He threw down the firewood on his body, pulled out a white-stemmed gun, and
Fight and retreat, and retreat straight to Eagle Falling Valley.
"Kill." Liu Pan shouted, and the Jingzhou soldiers pressed forward quickly. Dozens of Sichuan soldiers disguised as woodcutter were seen running away in panic. The Jingzhou soldiers quickly pursued them. Just as most of the Jingzhou soldiers entered the valley, suddenly a sudden burst from behind
The Biao soldiers and horses came out, it was Gao Pei, the general of Yizhou, and the Jingzhou soldiers who broke through the mountain pass, led more than a thousand men and horses to block the entrance of the valley.
At the same time, dense numbers of barbarian soldiers poured out from the tops of both sides, bows and strings drawn. Hundreds of woodcutters in the valley walked to the bottom of the cliff. There were dozens of baskets under the cliff. The woodcutter entered the hanging basket and was pulled up to the top of the mountain in front of the Jingzhou soldiers.
The Jingzhou soldiers were in panic and confusion when a female general in red appeared on the top of the mountain surrounded by barbarian soldiers. Her red clothes were flying and she stood astride her sword.
A barbarian next to him stepped out and shouted: "Jingzhou soldiers below, listen, my young lord has been waiting for you here for several days. If you know the situation, you will be captured without hesitation, otherwise, he will be shot to death by random arrows."
As early as when Liu Zhang entered Hanshou, he left a group of soldiers and horses outside, and deliberately told Han Xuan that all the soldiers and horses were in Hanshou, so that Liu Pan and Chen Qin took the lead and knew that Huang Zhong was defeated by four thousand soldiers and horses.
After getting there, I took it for granted that the other soldiers had indeed been poisoned.
"Ho, ho, ho."
The barbarian soldiers on the mountain and the Dongzhou soldiers led by Gao Pei raised their guns and shouted, their voices vibrating in the canyon, and the Jingzhou soldiers were all frightened.
Liu Pan was shocked and angry. He thought he was brave and resourceful, but he didn't expect that he would be fooled like Han Xuan and Huang Zhong. He pulled out his long sword, looked up to the sky and shouted: "Fight to the death, soldiers, follow."
I fight my way out of the valley."
"Kill."
The Jingzhou soldiers swarmed towards the valley entrance, and Gao Pei lined up to meet the enemy. Xiao Furong raised the red tassel gun in her hand, and arrows shot out from the mountains on both sides. Countless rocks and fireballs rolled down. In the narrow valley, the Jingzhou soldiers had nowhere to hide. There were many casualties and wailing sounds.
Fill the valley.
Thousands of rocks prepared for several days poured into the valley like a landslide, almost burying all the Jingzhou soldiers alive. Chen Qin was hit in the head right in front of Liu Pan's eyes, causing his brain to crack.
"Second brother, second brother."
Liu Pan's eyes were split, and he rushed out of the valley regardless of his safety. Gao Pei waved his hand, and a wave of arrows came. Liu Pan blocked more than ten arrows with his sword, and was finally hit by an arrow in the thigh, half-kneeling on the ground.
Liu Pan struck the ground with his sword and watched the soldiers who had been with him for several years fall down in front of him, feeling inexplicably sad.
"My lord, Liu Pan is sorry for you. My army of 50,000 was completely destroyed in my hands. The whole land of Jingnan is about to fall into the hands of the violent lord Liu Zhang. I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you. An army of 8,000 destroyed my 50,000 elites. I, Liu Pan, was an army in vain.
He is so handsome, hateful, hateful, and shameful."
Liu Pan looked up to the sky and shouted, his voice reaching into the sky. He waved his sword with all his strength, drew it and killed himself.
Nearly ten thousand Jingzhou troops were buried alive in the valley. Eagles flew over the mountains and screamed sadly. Xiao Furong led the army down the mountain and took a look at the desolate valley. Gao Pei asked: "Madam, are you burying the Jingzhou troops?"
Xiao Furong sighed: "No need, we still have something to do. Let's listen to your Majesty later."
Xiao Furong and Han Shou's garrison joined forces and jointly captured Liu Pan's base camp. Huang Zhong fought with wounds and was eventually seriously injured and captured.
