After paying a great price, the Nanman coalition forces arrived at Panlong Village. At this time, Kuafu, Zhou Bo, Shen Shiqi, and Fu Kuan, who had already taken defensive measures, led a group of elite soldiers and looked down at the invading troops. enemy!
When the Nanman Allied Forces arrived at Panlong Stronghold, Kuafu and the others who were guarding the stronghold were not afraid at all. Instead, they were trembling with excitement. They wished they could put up their weapons and fight with the invading enemy troops.
"This is another stronghold. If we attack blindly, I'm afraid we will lose nearly half of our troops before we reach Nan'an County!"
Looking at the Panlong Village standing on the high mountain, Fu Jian's eyes were full of fear. He looked around the mountains, trying to find a shortcut to conquer the village. Unfortunately, the Panlong Village was occupied by Chen Ping, Ji Xiaolan, and Li Dingguo. , Zhang Ren and other capable ministers from Shu worked together to plan and build it, and there were no loopholes at all.
There are only two ways to take over this stronghold, either directly lead the army to attack, fight to the death, and then obtain the fragmented Panlong Stronghold, or let the Shu army in Panlong Stronghold take the initiative to open the stronghold gate and surrender!
"Where is Lu Po Tower? Is there any way to conquer Panlong Village?"
Listening to the summons from Lord Fu Jian, Lu Polou's bright eyes flickered. He looked up in the direction of Panlong Village with a solemn expression. Then he thought for a moment and slowly said:
"My lord, Panlong Village is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we insist on attacking by force, we may lose at least 5,000 soldiers here!
In the opinion of General Yi, our army's attack on Panlong Village will definitely encounter stubborn resistance from the Shu army. If this is the case, we can suppress the morale of the Shu army before the war, and wait until the other side is exhausted and we are full, and then quickly Take Panlong Village. "
How to suppress the morale of the Shu army? This became a doubt in Fu Jian's heart!
When Lu Polou said these words, he saw through Fu Jian's thoughts, so he hurriedly expressed all his thoughts.
"According to reports from spies, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong sent a large army to capture Langzhong. Liu Bang of Chengdu took the initiative to counterattack and divided his troops into two groups to attack Yangpingguan and Guangyuan, leaving Chengdu empty and no more troops to support southern Shu.
The number of Shu troops here in Nan'an County is limited. What would they think if they learned that Liu Bang had not sent reinforcements? As expected, the Shu army will be in chaos and their morale will be low. This is when we conquer Panlong Village and approach Nan'an City. "
Fu Jian was immediately overjoyed. He looked at Lu Polou in front of him with admiration. Then he waved his hand and promised loudly: "General Lu's plan is very clever. If we can successfully capture Panlong Village according to this plan, then I will I will grant you the title of General Conquering the Han (general with various titles), a bounty of one hundred taels, ten jars of fine wine, five beauties, and a hundred acres of fertile land in the middle of Shu!"
Lu Polou thanked him immediately, and then led his lieutenants Lu Guang and Lu Long, as well as a group of soldiers, to start planning a strategy to suppress the morale of the Shu army.
In Lu Polou's plan, it is a fact that Chengdu is empty of troops and unable to support Nan'an County. If this is the case, then directly using Yang Miao to tell the facts to the Shu troops in Panlong Village can weaken their morale. Purpose!
"Send the order and record the information about the battle between Liu Bang and Zhang Lu in detail, and also write down the fact that Chengdu's troops are empty and unable to support them, tie them to arrows, and shoot them into Panlong Village that night, and wait for them the next day. At dawn, prepare to attack the stronghold!"
Following Lu Polou's order, the war machine began to operate. Tens of thousands of sharp arrows shot into Panlong Village like a torrential rain, directly pricking the wall of the village into hedgehogs. The Shu soldiers suffered heavy casualties, some of whom The sharp-eyed soldiers discovered the information tied to the arrows...
"These arrows are all tied with something. Come on, someone who can read, take them apart and see what's written on them!"
The literate soldiers of the Shu Army disassembled the contents of the arrows and read them out carefully. As all the contents were read out, the faces of the soldiers watching were all ashen. You look at me, I look at you, I don’t know. What to do!
The same thing happened in many places in the stronghold. Panic and fear spread within the Shu army for a while, but even if the Shu army generals Kuafu and Zhou Bo burned all the 'negative information' at the first time, they still could not Prevent the Shu army's high morale from becoming sluggish!
"Oops, the morale of the soldiers is low now. If the enemy attacks at this time, Panlong Village may not be able to defend it."
The generals of the Shu army were worried, but they had no choice but to see the morale of their soldiers declining. Zhou Bo and Kuafu looked at each other with complicated eyes, and then suggested in unison:
"Now that the matter has come to this, it is better to make the war situation in Chengdu public directly. What if the Lord cannot send reinforcements to support us? Could it be that we, the Sichuan and Shu children, will retreat and hand over the huge Shu land to these barbarians? ?
I am a Sichuan and Shu people in life, and I am the soul of Sichuan and Shu in death. If these barbarians want to enter Shu, they have to step over my corpse! "
As soon as Kuafu and Zhou Bo said these words, all the generals present woke up. Why were they fighting desperately on the battlefield?
Isn’t it just for the compatriots in Bashu behind us? Isn’t it just to protect your homeland? If they surrender and flee without a fight as soon as the enemy comes, what will happen to their parents and fellow villagers behind them? Is it possible to just watch the barbarians burning, killing, looting, raping, and raping in their own homes, committing evil acts?
"All the generals listened to the order and recorded what Kuafu and General Zhou Bo just said, and spread it throughout the military camp, letting every soldier know that if they retreat at this time, the barbarians will enter Shu, and the people of Shu will But we’re going to be in trouble!”
As these words spread throughout the military camp, the originally depressed soldiers suddenly woke up, and then their morale exploded even more than before.
Seeing that the military spirit was ready, Panlongzhai guard Zhou Bo's eyes shone with excitement. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then with a wave of his hand, he ordered all the soldiers to prepare defensive supplies. If nothing else, the enemy would soon be here. Attacked.
as expected!
When the morning sun rose, the Southern Barbarian Allied Forces launched a fierce offensive against Panlong Village. Generals such as Black Barbarian Dragon, Mangya Chang, Bringing Cave Master, Jinhuan Sanjie and other generals led an elite army of 3,000 people and kept approaching Panlong. Longzhai, tried to force open the gate of the village.
"Kerosene, wood, and rolling stones, get ready! Throw!"
Following Kuafu's order, a large number of rolling stones and wood fell from high places, like meteors falling to the ground, killing and injuring large areas of the barbarians. The barbarians were forced to retreat and did not dare to move forward.
"Why is this happening? Under normal circumstances, the morale of the Shu army should be low. Why do these guys seem to be so powerful, but their morale is high!"
Lu Polou, who was supervising the battle, looked extremely ugly. Looking at the impregnable Panlong Stronghold, he was at a loss. Is it possible that he wanted to attack this stronghold?
