Pang Tong led his army down the Han River.
Five days later, when he arrived near Nanyang, he learned that his home had been confiscated by Liu Biao and turned into Wenpin's army rations. Pang Tong was furious and ordered the entire army to speed up and march to Xiangyang City.
Zhang Yun immediately led 10,000 naval troops up the river to intercept Pang Tong.
The two sides faced off near Peach Blossom Island in the Han River. Pang Tong was worried about the safety of his tribe, so he ordered people to dock and set up camp. He led 5,000 troops to Pang's Manor in Lushan.
Fortunately, the Ponzi Manor was not seriously injured.
Pang Tong led his army back to the camp, and after the army from behind arrived, he attacked Xiangyang City and forced Wenpin to retreat. By then, both sides of the army surrounded Xiangyang. Coupled with the power of the second-generation trebuchet, Xiangyang City was just around the corner. break.
Five days later, Ji Ling led the infantry to the military camp.
When Zhang Yun saw Pang Tong approaching the shore, he immediately led his men to the shore and set up camp opposite them, blocking the front of Xiangyang City.
Upon learning that Pang Tong was leading an army to attack, Liu Biao quickly ordered 20,000 men to support Zhang Yun, bringing Zhang Yun's number to 30,000.
"Who is Zhang Yun? He made a surprise attack on Wuguan and was defeated by General Song Ze. He returned in embarrassment. Now he leads his army to block our way. We are really looking for death." Ji Ling expressed disdain for Zhang Yun.
"General Ji, don't be careless. You must know that the tiger and the rabbit have to use all their strength and be careful to avoid serious harm." Pang Tong said in a relaxed tone, not only not refuting Ji Ling's face, but also able to Speak your mind.
Ji Ling chuckled: "I'll remember it, military advisor."
Gu Ming asked: "Pang Canjun's army is blocked by Zhang Yun's 30,000 troops. What should our army do?"
Yang Bai is a newly-reigned general and has not even seen Zhang Xiu's face until now. He stands aside and does not say anything.
Pang Tong smiled calmly: "Since the advent of the second-generation trebuchet, we have not truly seen its power. Tonight, we will witness the power of this thing together."
Ji Ling laughed: "It will be easier for Zhang Yun and others to die in their sleep."
Yang Bai didn't know how powerful this trebuchet was, but he had seen the seventy-eight pieces that had been disassembled. Since it hadn't been assembled yet, he didn't know its power.
Pang Tong looked at Yang Bai and said with a smile: "General Yang will supervise the battle tonight."
This is a free war effort.
Ji Ling and Gu Ming both knew Pang Tong's intentions and had no objection.
Yang Bai was stunned for a moment, then cupped his fists and said, "Here!"
Accompanied by Gu Ming, Yang Bai came to the Che Barracks and issued Pang Tong's combat order. Then, the entire Che Barracks was quickly assembled.
Yang Bai asked doubtfully: "General Gu, is this trebuchet very powerful? I think Pang Shenjun has high expectations for this thing!"
Gu Ming smiled and said: "General Yang, don't worry, you will know later."
Not long after, the trebuchet was assembled.
Yang Bai clicked his tongue when he saw such a huge thing, "I didn't expect those bits and pieces to be able to assemble such a huge thing, and use this thing to attack the enemy camp. It is so powerful!"
Gu Ming smiled and said: "The trebuchet has been assembled. Let's go back to work. You will be able to see its power later."
Yang Bai smiled expectantly and went back to resume his life.
After receiving Pang Tong's formal attack order, Ji Ling immediately led the entire army to prepare, and the trebuchet was also rolled out and placed in front of the camp.
"The car camp is ready!"
Yang Bai raised his sword and roared.
The soldiers of the Che Barracks immediately put the huge stones into the frame, poured kerosene on them and lit them.
"put--!"
While swinging the sword, Yang Bai roared out orders.
"Bang! Bang...!"
As heavy muffled sounds sounded one after another, the huge flint was thrown out, drawing a perfect parabola in mid-air and hitting Zhang Yun's military camp.
Zhang Yun's soldiers heard the violent roar and looked up.
His Tianling Gai instantly became numb.
Dozens of huge flints appeared in the sky, hitting him.
Some captains quickly realized that this was an enemy trebuchet, and immediately shouted: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Go and beat the drum!"
"Boom! Boom...!"
It was already too late, the flint came roaring, and with great power, it slammed into the enemy camp. In an instant, the entire camp resounded with tragic screams, and fire was everywhere.
The huge shock caused a slight earthquake on the ground, which could be felt as far away as Xiangyang City.
Liu Biao was awakened by this shock, and heard a huge roar not far away. Just as he heard the sound, the captain guarding the city rushed in with a look of horror on his face, and his face turned pale with fear: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, no... it's not good..." , our army... our army camp was... destroyed by fire from outside!"
"Fire from outside the sky?"
Liu Biao was taken aback, put on his clothes, and walked towards the city.
At this time, Kuai Yue also rushed towards the city.
When they reached the top of the city, Ji Ling, Gu Ming, and Yang Bai led the army into Zhang Yun's camp. The frightened Jingzhou army was unable to resist, and most of them surrendered on the spot.
Zhang Yun led thousands of troops and fled towards Xiangyang City.
"Where did Zhang Xiu get such a sharp weapon?" When he walked to the top of the city, Liu Biao saw clearly what fire was coming from the sky. It was clearly the power of a huge trebuchet.
But Liu Biao was shocked when he saw such an exaggerated trebuchet.
Kuai became more and more trembling and said, "Can Xiangyang City be defended if we attack the city with such a sharp weapon?"
Liu Biao trembled after being reminded by Kuai Yue.
If such an exaggerated weapon were to attack Xiangyang City, I am afraid that within three days, the entire city would be turned into a pile of ruins. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Liu Biao finally became frightened.
Is his foundation about to be destroyed in one fell swoop?
"Your Majesty, General Zhang Yun has fled back with his remaining troops, and they are already under the city." When the city guard saw Zhang Yun's escape, he immediately reported it.
"Open the city gate quickly and let General Zhang in."
Now the only one he could rely on was Zhang Yun. Liu Biao opened the city gate without thinking. No matter what, Xiangyang had to be defended and he would never surrender to Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Yun's army was defeated. Pang Tong ordered his people to subdue the surrendered soldiers first, and then slowly organized the army and marched slowly towards Xiangyang City.
The trebuchet was not dismantled, but ordered to be pushed towards Xiangyang City step by step.
As the huge trebuchet approached, the Xiangyang soldiers guarding the city felt a suffocating pressure. Everyone could imagine that if this big guy hit it, they would definitely die.
This is also the effect Pang Tong wanted, to defeat the enemy without fighting.
After this battle, Yang Bai finally understood the power of this big guy, and also knew that Pang Tong gave him the credit for last night's battle, so he respected Pang Tong very much.
He smiled and said: "Pang Canjun's method is very wonderful. He can defeat the enemy without fighting."
Ji Ling laughed loudly: "With this treasure, Xiangyang City can be conquered in three days."
Pang Tong said: "The trebuchet also has flaws. We are approaching Xiangyang City, but we cannot attack. After all, Liu Biao is inside. We need to report it to the lord and ask him to make a decision."
Everyone is the same.
So Pang Tong led a large army to Xiangyang City, surrounded but did not attack, waiting for Zhang Xiu's order.
At this time, Zhang Xiu had led his army southward from Wuguandao and headed straight for Tongbai Mountain.
