Chapter 307

Sure enough, seeing that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were defeated, Liu Bei immediately ordered his soldiers to come forward to meet them. Liu Xiu seized the opportunity and ordered the soldiers on the left and right wings to attack.

The two sides opened the battlefield, using the vanguard as the fuse to ignite the war.

On the battlefield, both sides of the war are fighting. However, with the deepening of Huang Hu and shamoko, they seemed to be two sharp cones and entered Liu Bei's soldiers. No one could stop them, and those who blocked them were invincible, which affected the morale of Liu Bei's army.

Liu Bei saw that the situation was not good, and finally continued to invest in the soldiers, relying on the advantage of the number of people, to eliminate the fatigue.

After half an hour of fighting, the two sides failed to decide the outcome.

Liu Xiu saw the soldiers under his command show fatigue, decisively ordered the withdrawal. Liu Xiu's army retreated, neatly retreated from the battlefield, and retreated in the direction of Xiangyang City.

When Liu Bei saw Liu Xiu's withdrawal, his first thought was to pursue him. However, after fighting for such a long time, seeing that the soldiers under his command were also exhausted, and that there were still soldiers in Liu Xiu city who did not go out to fight, and there might even be ambushes to meet them, he had to restrain his mind and ordered to withdraw.

The two armies withdrew respectively, and Liu Bei's barracks.

With a solemn expression on his face, Guan Yu reported: "brother, we have killed more than 1400 soldiers in this war. The loss of this day is the loss of the siege in the past few days. "

Liu Bei's face became more gloomy when he heard the speech.

Such a loss, too big!

After the army arrived in Xiangyang, his soldiers were constantly consumed.

Up to now, nearly 3000 soldiers have been lost. Liu Bei is distressed by the loss. Because every soldier was recruited with great efforts.

"We have lost so many soldiers, and Liu Xiu has lost too," Zhang Fei said

Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiu's loss must be smaller than ours. Maybe not even a thousand people lost. This war still failed to cause heavy damage to Liu Xiu. "

At this time in Liu Bei's heart, incomparable disappointment.

He began to miss the days when Zhuge Liang was around him. If Zhuge Liang were here, he might have come up with a plan to defeat the enemy. It's a pity that Zhuge Liang and Chen Dao are going to stay in Xinye and can't go south with them.

"Newspaper!"

Suddenly, a soldier entered the camp and said, "my Lord, the news from Zhonglu county." With these words, the soldier took out a letter sealed with lacquer from his arms and handed it to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei opened it and looked at it carefully. His expression was even more gloomy.

Seeing this, Guan Yu asked, "brother, what happened?"

Liu Bei replied: "ten thousand elites who conquered Zhonglu county were blocked in Yicheng County. First, Yicheng County fought so hard that Yicheng County could not be conquered. Then wenpin suddenly led 3000 elite raids to directly cover up our troops. Caught off guard, 10000 troops suffered losses. Although they have stabilized their formation and resisted the attack, the losses now exceed 1500. In addition, after Wen pin won the battle, he quickly withdrew and even withdrew to Jiangling County. "

Guan Yu frowned and his eyes were full of worry.

This war is not going well.

Zhang Fei said: "brother, in my opinion, our situation is not good. Why don't we wait for a while? Jingzhou was attacked not only by us, but also by Jiangdong. Let's take a break, let's take a break. If Zhou Yu has made a breakthrough and made new progress, he can influence the whole situation of Jingzhou. "

After listening, Liu Bei's face showed a thoughtful expression. A moment later, Liu Bei said, "it's OK. For the time being, we can only do this. Let the soldiers adjust first."

……

Xiangyang City, on the tower.

After counting the losses in this war, Huang Hu stood in front of Liu Xiu and reported: "Lord, we have killed 865 people in this war. But in this war, we have gained an advantage, and Liu Bei's loss should be greater. I believe that now I can take the initiative to attack Liu Bei. We are sure to win this battle. "

Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "the initiative in this battle has lost 800 soldiers. This kind of frontal fighting, once was enough. Now Liu Bei has divided his troops. After he was attacked by us, he lost a lot of soldiers. He will stop for a while and will not attack again. Then we don't send troops, both sides are wasting time. The longer the delay, I believe, the better for us. "

At this time, Pang Tong's plan appeared in Liu Xiu's mind. He didn't know how Pang Tong's plan was going?

……

After Pang Tong left Xiangyang, he went all the way to the southwest and went directly to Yizhou.

After entering Yizhou, he went straight to Chengdu.

Along the way, Pang Tong never stopped. He never had a rest. When I arrived in Chengdu, I was already haggard and exhausted.

He is still no rest, directly to Zhang Ren's house, found Zhang Ren.

In the hall, the guest and host are seated.

Zhang Ren looked at Pang Tong, saw Pang Tong's haggard appearance, and said, "how can Pang Jun Shi be so haggard? What happened in Jingzhou? "Pang Tong gave a slight smile and replied: "General Zhang, Jingzhou has really met a big event. Today, Liu Bei and Sun Quan unite to attack Jingzhou. "

Zhang Rendao: "Liu Bei is the hero in the world, and Sun Quan is also the overlord. Now that the two sides unite to attack Jingzhou, I'm afraid it's dangerous. "

Pang Tong shook his head and said, "General Zhang, you think highly of Liu Bei and Sun Quan. Do you really think this war is dangerous? "

Zhang Rendao said: "in the face of Liu Bei and Sun Quan's army, even if Liu Jingzhou has such big killers as rhubarb crossbow and catapult, even if Liu Jingzhou is smart and capable, I think it is very difficult."

Pang Tong put up three fingers and said, "in my opinion, there are three reasons why the Lord will win."

Zhang Ren asked, "I'm all ears!"

Pang Tong replied: "first, the Lord has recently recovered wuximan in Wuling county. Shamoke, the king of wuximan, led 8000 barbarians to surrender. Not only that, all the wuximan have moved out of the mountains and lived in Youyang County. As we all know, the barbarians are valiant, rebellious and even more fearless of death. "

"This army entered the Lord's command, and now it's even in Xiangyang City. With the help of barbarians, they are a major force in fighting against Liu Bei. "

"Second, the Lord took office and set up three military barracks. The first army is stationed in Jiangling County, headed by wenpin, with more than 20000 elite troops; the second army is stationed in you County, Changsha County, headed by Huang Zhong, with more than 20000 elite troops; the third army is stationed in Qianling County, Wuling County, with more than 20000 elite troops. Now there are more barbarians to supplement their forces, and they are even more powerful. "

"The soldiers in the three barracks are equipped with the most elite weapons and form a triangle. Even if Xiangyang and Changsha are attacked by Liu Bei and Sun Quan, they can support each other at any time. "

"Third, Huang Zu will not sit back and ignore. Huang Hu, the son of Huang Zu, led the flying tiger camp under the command of the Lord and took charge of the army alone. Now in the face of war, once Xiangyang is in trouble, Huang Zu's army will certainly support. Therefore, Jingzhou's troops are more than enough to resist Sun Quan and Liu Bei, and they are not afraid of the Allied forces of Liu Bei and Sun Quan. "

Pang Tong's face was confident and said, "General Zhang, in fact, there are more reasons than that. It's just that there's no need to elaborate. Jingzhou is a win-win situation, but this time the Lord not only wanted to swallow Liu Bei and defeat Sun Quan, but also taught Cao Jun a lesson, so he sent him down to Chengdu to visit Liu Yizhou. "

Zhang Ren narrowed his eyes after listening.

Pang Tong's words, he carefully analyzed, it is true. With this premise, it means that it will not be too difficult for Liu Xiu to block the attacks of Liu Bei and Sun Quan.

Zhang Ren asked: "Pang Jun division, if it is only for this reason, it will be very difficult to persuade the Lord to send troops. And even if the LORD sent troops, it was a symbolic one. "

After all, Jingzhou and Yizhou are allied. Zhang Ren did not hide his idea.

Pang Tong said with a little smile: "it's OK to persuade Liu Yizhou. Naturally, I have found a good reason. So general Zhang doesn't have to worry. "

Zhang Ren said with a smile: "so, I'm relieved." After a pause, Zhang Ren waved his hand and said, "commander Pang will go back for a while and wait for the news. I'll go to see the Lord to report the news, and then I'll make an appointment with the other commander."

"Yes

Pang Tong nodded, told Zhang Ren where he lived, and then left.
