"You little kid!"
Guan Yu had already prepared in his heart, and when Pang De fired his secret arrow, he felt something.
I saw him swinging the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and blocking the poisonous arrow in one fell swoop.
"Rat, how dare you stab someone in the back? You will die!"
Seeing that the sneak attack failed, Pang De was disappointed. He immediately turned his horse's head and wanted to return to the original route and escape back to the Hekouchuan Army Stronghold.
Unexpectedly, Liu Chan had been prepared and led his cavalry to block the main retreat road early.
"Pang Lingming, do you dare to come and die?"
Although Liu Chan is not a strong man, he can't stand the prince's soldiers beside him. He is a tall and powerful man with good equipment. He is not easy to bully at first glance.
If you want to charge forward, let alone whether you can break through the enemy formation. Even if you can break through, it will take a lot of time.
Behind him, the murderous Guan Yunchang was chasing the horse with the Qinglong Yanyue Sword. If he was delayed by Liu Chan, the crown prince of Hanzhong, wouldn't he be trapped in a tight siege and have no chance of survival?
"General, there is a small road to the west that leads to the Hekou Chuan Army Stronghold."
At this critical moment, the guide of the Hekouchuan Military Village pointed out a clear path to Pang De.
Pang De's eyes lit up and he immediately ordered.
"In front of the military palace, the rest are running westward!"
Only by breaking one's arm can one find a way to survive.
He did not wait for Cao Ren's army to arrive, so he went deep alone, firstly to save Fancheng and the siege of the military stronghold in the west, and secondly to see if he could defeat Guan Yunchang and boost his morale.
Now the second one has not been achieved, but the first one should still be effective.
At the very least, the main force of the Shu army was attracted by him.
If General Zuo was brave enough in Jin, he could rush forward from the city at this moment and surround the Shu army with him on both sides. The winner would not be decided yet.
pity...
Until Pang De fled from the west, he still didn't see Yu Jin in Fan City coming to kill him.
Cao Ren's defeat outside Xiangyang City that day had a far-reaching impact.
now.
The battle between the two armies turned into a chase and a flight. The defeated Wei army suffered heavy losses. Only a thousand cavalry troops jumped out of the encirclement from the west and fled to the west.
"This Pang Lingming is really brave. It's a pity that... we couldn't cut off his head and let him escape."
Although Pang De secretly made a cold arrow just now, he is not a hero.
But there are not many generals who can fight him for 200 rounds today.
Pang De, who is so capable, has naturally been recognized by Guan Yunchang.
"Father just went deep into danger, how reckless he was!"
Guan Ping drove his horse forward with a dissatisfied look on his face.
"If this happens again, how can we teach our children to be at ease in the future?"
In normal times, if Guan Ping was lectured by his son, it would be necessary for Guan Ping to kick him, but just now he was really reckless, Guan Yu's face was slightly red, and it was not easy to argue with Guan Ping.
Of course, he already had a maroon face, so if he blushed occasionally, outsiders wouldn't be able to tell.
"Don't worry, next time I won't be in danger alone."
In fact, looking back on the previous situation, it was indeed dangerous and unusual.
If His Highness hadn't warned Pang De before the battle that he might suddenly launch a cold arrow, otherwise he might have fallen into Pang Lingming's trap.
"Clean up the battlefield, continue the siege of Fancheng, send an order to the west, and order Yuan Jian to quickly attack Wei Village. Tomorrow is the deadline!"
"promise!"
Immediately, messengers drove their horses to the west to notify Liao Hua.
"Your Highness."
Seeing Liu Chan reining in his horse and coming, Guan Yu had a smile on his face and was about to thank Liu Chan.
That reminder before the war could be said to be crucial, it was equivalent to saving Guan Yunchang's life.
Now Guan Yu was more and more certain that his Highness the Crown Prince must have the ability to predict the future.
otherwise...
How could His Highness know in advance that Pang De resorted to dragging his sword and stabbing someone in the dark?
"Thanks to His Highness for reminding me, otherwise, Guan would have been stabbed in the back by Pang De. Come on, you and I will check in and have a drink first."
Yunchang has a straightforward temperament, he likes you, and his love for you is undisguised.
certainly...
The same goes the other way around, if you don't like you, then his dislike and disdain for you will be undisguised.
"Father-in-law, let's put aside the drinking for now. It won't be too late to have a celebratory drink after Pang De is captured."
Come for another celebratory drink?
Wait a moment?
Capture Pound?
Guan Yu frowned slightly. If Guan Ping said this, he wouldn't believe it. He wouldn't kick him and curse him again: "You are so arrogant." He couldn't feel happy.
But when His Highness said this, he couldn't help but Guan Yunchang didn't believe it.
"Your Highness, Pang De has already fled, how can we capture him? Do you want us to lead the troops and attack the Wei army's stronghold in Hekouchuan?"
"No."
Liu Chan smiled softly and said, "The boy has laid an ambush in the dense forest of the valley on the west path in advance. When Pang De escapes, the ambush will be together. How can Pang De, who is now at the end of his crossbow, not be captured by our army?"
Guan Yu had a look of shock on his face.
"Your Highness already knew that Pound would be defeated before the battle, and would you even flee to the west?"
Shocked, admired, disbelieving...
Guan Yu looked at his good son-in-law, and for a moment, he couldn't see clearly.
At this moment, in Guan Yu's eyes, Liu Chan seemed to be glowing.
See the unknown and strategize.
Guan Yunchang had only seen people with this ability in Kong Ming before, but he didn't expect to see him again in His Highness the Crown Prince.
Guan Yinping's mouth opened slightly, and there was a look of shock on her face, but she reacted immediately.
"Is it the ambush site that Lang Jun and I discovered when we were exploring the geography of the front line?"
Guan Yinping admired her in her heart. She went there with Liu Chan, although she also saw that the place was suitable for an ambush.
But it is one thing to be suitable for an ambush. How to use this place suitable for an ambush is another matter.
Just saying that she was close to Yinping, she didn't expect that she could ambush Pound there in advance at this moment.
My husband is indeed the most powerful!
Guan Yinping bit her lips and teeth, her eyes full of love. Why...does she suddenly want it again?
"Your Highness is truly a god!"
Lingling Prefect Hepu on the side stepped forward. The expression on his face was genuine, and it could be seen that what he just said came from the sincerity.
"Stop praising him now, wait until Pang Lingming is captured and killed."
There is indeed an ambush, but Pang De is not an easy person. If he escapes from the siege, Liu Chan will not be surprised.
"With Your Highness here, Pang Lingming will have no chance of escaping!"
Guan Yu immediately stepped forward and said to Liu Chan: "Let's go, we had a great battle today, let's go have a drink!"
When his father-in-law invited him again, Liu Chan naturally could not refuse. He immediately turned his horse around and returned to camp with Yunchang.
...
On the other side, there is a dense forest at the mouth of the valley on the west path that leads directly to the Hekou Sichuan Army Village.
The dense forests of the valley were shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.
Thick dark clouds covered the sky, blocking out the sunlight, and the entire valley was shrouded in darkness. The dense trees twisted their bodies like ghosts, and the branches stretching towards the sky formed strange shadows, which seemed to reach deep into people's hearts.
The leaves rustled in the wind, as if a group of ghosts were whispering, which made people shudder.
The chirping of insects is noisy and harsh, like a magic sound, conveying a mysterious warning.
The fog filled the air, making the entire valley looming in the haze, as if it were the entrance to the netherworld.
In this gloomy valley and dense forest, there seems to be invisible eyes staring at people, which makes people shudder.
At this moment, in the dense forest, three thousand of the prince's personal troops led by Xiang Chong were ambushing them.
"I'm coming!"
Immediately, a messenger arrived in a hurry, and he said: "There is a cavalry army with unknown flags in the east. Looking at their formation, they seem to be fleeing."
Come to life!
Xiang Chong spit out the grass roots in his mouth.
After staying in this humid jungle for several hours, he finally caught a big fish.
A few big mosquito bites on my body, what does it matter now?
Remembering that before setting off, he had questioned His Highness, saying:
In this dense forest in the valley, there is no village in front of or behind, and there is no store behind. How can I gain anything by ambushing here?
But now, Xiang Chong just wants to slap himself hard.
No gain?
Now the big fish are here!
His Highness is truly miraculous, he had predicted all this in advance.
As Liu Chan's number one fan, Xiang Chong's admiration for Liu Chan deepened a little.
"Give the order, let the brothers prepare to charge and kill. Remember, no sound is allowed until the military order is given."
"promise!"
The messengers were about to spread the order to Chongjun everywhere.
coming!
Across the layers of dense forest, in the light rain, I saw a cavalry troop galloping forward.
The Wei army slowed down when they arrived outside the dense forest of the valley.
"Hey~"
Pound's face was haggard, his chest heaved violently, and he kept breathing heavily.
The general who was fighting fiercely ran away desperately, and all the horses under him were killed, let alone him.
"Is there any pursuit behind Yun Chang?"
Pound had to make sure he was safe first. If there were pursuers behind him, he would still run away even if a horse was killed!
"There is no Shu army pursuing us from behind."
"So...very good!"
Pang De let go of his hanging heart.
However, after he was free from worries about life and death, the heaviness in Pang De's heart arose again.
Your Majesty entrusted me with the responsibility of being the vanguard, but I failed in the first battle and lost the lives of thousands of soldiers.
If he returns to the Hekou Sichuan military camp this time, he will be afraid of criticism from the army and will do it again.
At this moment, Pang De was so ashamed that he wished he had died under Guan Yun's long sword before. If he had died under Guan Yun's long sword, he could still be known as a loyal minister and die on the battlefield.
If you want to survive now, you must face rumors and rumors.
Hey~
It’s hard to be a human being!
It is even more difficult to surrender a general!
Pang De drove his horse forward somewhat absentmindedly.
Although the valley here is deep and dense, and a discerning person would find it suitable for an ambush at a glance, Pang De did not think about the possibility of an ambush at this moment.
First, he was running along the west path. It was a sudden change. How could the Shu army predict it?
Waiting for his defeat to ambush here?
Second, from a time perspective, this condition cannot be met.
At that time, all his horses were killed, and the front army was desperately trying to delay him, so he left the Shu army at a distance.
certainly...
This is all based on common sense. Pound did not expect that there was a Liu Gongsi in the Shu army. He openly dared to cheat!
The remnant army of thousands of people marched to the center of the valley.
Sudden!
Bang~
I saw the signal bomb rising rapidly into the sky in the pouring rain. With a loud bang, a few rows of giant trees in front of Pound suddenly broke in half, and the giant trees blocked his way out!
"No! There's an ambush!"
With such a sound and movement, Pang De naturally knew that he was ambushed.
Even if you are confused, confused, or shocked!
Now he had to accept this fact.
"Fall back!"
Nowadays, preserving one's wealth and life is the most important thing.
pity...
He has already entered the dense forest of the valley. It is like a rabbit falling into a trap. How easy is it to jump out again?
Whoosh whoosh~
In the dense forest, arrows as dense as locusts kept flying.
"Ahhhh~"
The cavalrymen of the Wei army had no shields and were shot by the rain of arrows, making them complete targets.
"withdraw!"
The sword flew in Pang De's hand, constantly blocking the incoming arrows.
However, as the general, he received the most care, and the arrows flying towards him were the densest.
"ah!"
No matter how strong his martial arts skills are, he can't stop the rain of arrows. His arms, legs, feet, and waist are all hit by arrows.
Pang De quickly jumped off his horse and used the horse and the corpses of Wei soldiers on the ground as a barrier, thus barely saving his life.
But after several rounds of arrow rain, on the dense forest path, the Wei army's cavalry fell to pieces. One by one, they fell to the ground and groaned in pain. Only a few of them could survive.
"Those who surrender will not be killed. If anyone resists, shoot them without mercy!"
Xiang Chong led the prince's personal army and sprang out of the dense forest.
He was wearing armor and couldn't stop smiling.
"Come to think of it, you are Pang De Pang Lingming."
His Highness asked him to come and ambush Pound, but he didn't expect that he would actually ambush him.
Capturing the Wei army's vanguard alive was a great achievement!
At this moment, Xiang Chong was smiling from ear to ear.
"I miss you, Pound, but I fell into the hands of an unknown person. How can you treat me less like a man in the sky?"
Pound just wants to make great achievements, why is it so difficult!
He pushed away the body of the soldier who was stuck like a hedgehog on his side, and picked up the horizontal knife in his hand.
"Your Majesty, I finally have a heavy responsibility, so I have no choice but to die in order to repay the king's kindness!"
After saying that, he immediately cut himself with a knife and wanted to die.
Whoosh~
At this moment, Xiang Chong had already bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot Pang De's sword-holding hand with one arrow.
"Young general An Gan?"
Pang De was in pain, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.
At this moment, his eyes were wide open, staring at Xiang Chong with anger in his eyes. Of course, besides anger, there was also despair and sadness.
I, Pang Lingming, want to die on the battlefield, but this is not possible?
"Someone, tie Pang De up!"
wanna die?
Not that easy!
Captured alive or beheaded, the one who was captured alive must have gained more merit.
The vanguard general Pang De was tied up with five flowers. When the other Wei soldiers saw this, except for a small number of Wei soldiers who wanted to escape, the rest were all tied up in a string.
As for those Wei soldiers who disobey discipline and intend to flee, there is only one outcome, and that is death!
"Clean up the battlefield. Gather the usable horses. Kill the horses that are seriously injured and on the verge of death. Kill them for their meat. If the soldiers of Wei are seriously injured, give them a stabbing blow."
On the battlefield, last-minute strikes are necessary.
The main function is naturally to prevent enemy soldiers from pretending to be dead.
Of course, here in the dense forest of the valley, with no village in front or back, no shop, so it was Xiang Chong's kindness to replenish the seriously injured soldiers.
Let them suffer less before they die.
After some preparations and cleaning of the battlefield, Xiang Chong put the bound Pang De into the prison car that had been prepared, and then sped towards the direction of the Shu military camp in Fancheng.
The Shu army camped in the Chinese army's tent.
Simple food and drinks have been served long ago.
This time we faced Pang De and gained a lot. The officers and soldiers in the army were very cheerful, especially when news came from the Wei army's stronghold to the west. It was said that Liao Hua had broken the army's stronghold, killed more than a thousand of the enemy, and captured thousands of Wei's soldiers. The remaining soldiers have now occupied Wei Village.
now...
The vanguard of the Wei army had been defeated, the army camp to the west had fallen, and the rain was incessant. They just waited for Cao Zixiao to lead his troops, and then they could launch a water attack.
At that time, Hou Yin, the garrison of Wancheng, raised his troops to respond. Guan Yunchang really couldn't imagine how he would lose this battle. !
While they were having a banquet in the main tent, a messenger with an order flag on his back came in a hurry outside the tent.
"Report~"
"Your Highness and General, the prince is an official and General Xiang Chong of Yamen has captured Wei army vanguard Pang Lingming alive, and is now sending Pang De prisoner to the military stronghold!"
"Hahaha!"
Guan Yu drank the wine in one gulp and laughed.
"Happy things happen one after another, happy things happen one after another!"
Yun Chang stroked his beautiful beard with his hand and couldn't stop the smile on his face.
"Thanks to your highness's great fortune, when your highness came, everything went smoothly, and he actually captured Pang Lingming alive. I give this cup to your highness."
Liu Chan also had a smile on his face.
He raised his glass and stepped forward and said: "It's just that my father-in-law is brave, the general is dedicated to his life, and the soldiers are brave and not afraid of death. Why should I take credit?"
After a few glasses of wine, Liu Chan's cheeks began to turn rosy.
"Your Highness is humble." Guan Yu finished drinking a bottle of wine. The more he looked at Liu Chan, his son-in-law, the more satisfied he became.
"Yes, Your Highness had no foresight and ambushed the Wei army's vanguard in advance. Wei Jun's heart must have been frightened at this moment! How could His Highness not dare to take the credit? I respect His Highness for this cup."
"Yes, Your Highness is mighty. I will give you a toast."
He offered a plan and captured Pang De alive in advance. Liu Chan's ability had already convinced the lower generals in Guan Yu's tent.
That's what rough guys in the military are like.
If you are good, they will admire you. Only those who are capable can succeed in the army.
And it's obvious that Liu Chan is the kind of capable person!
The generals drank one after another. Liu Chan drank one cup after another, and his cheeks suddenly turned red.
"Your Highness, please."
"Your Highness, please."
"Your Highness, please."
However, here, there is still an endless stream of people coming to toast.
...
After a great victory, except for the officers and soldiers of the round guard department, everyone else drank heavily.
There is not much time for drinking in the army, and only after winning battles can you occasionally indulge.
All the soldiers will naturally have a great time.
"Young Master is not good at drinking, how can you get so drunk alone?"
Guan Yinping supported Liu Chan and walked all the way into Liu Chan's military tent.
As soon as he entered the military tent, Liu Chan immediately became energetic.
He was very skillful and started to climb the tree to pick pears.
"you!"
Guan Yinping's face turned red.
"Why are you pretending to be drunk? If you can't drink enough, you will be laughed at in the army."
Not good enough to drink?
If I, Mr. Liu, could not drink enough, and those generals came to propose a toast one by one just now, he would have fallen down.
"I see that drinking in a military tent will make it difficult to leave the tent without drinking until the sky is dark. No matter how good my drinking ability is, I will probably have to come out lying down."
He is still young and can only drink a little bit. If he drinks too much, his small body will not be able to bear it.
Besides, he had something to do when he came out this time.
Yinping was shy in her heart.
"Could it be that His Highness came out early because he wanted to have sex with me... This is not possible. Today is only the fifth day, but it is not the tenth day!"
Guan Yinping was secretly happy, but she looked like she wanted to refuse but still wanted to welcome him.
Girl, what are you thinking about?
"I will pay the bill first, but I have to collect another general."
That's right.
Liu Chan had long taken a liking to loyal and fierce generals like Pang De.
If he can be subdued, he will undoubtedly have another arm by his side.
Liu Chan stood up, picked up a handkerchief and wiped off the water stains on his hands, ignoring Guan Yinping's small mouth pouting, looking resentful.
If looks could kill, I'm afraid Liu Chan would have died more than ten times by now.
but...
We must do what we say, if it’s ten days, then it’s ten days, not even one day less!
How can a good man be addicted to women?
Liu Chan immediately walked out of the tent and looked at the gate of the Shu army's stronghold.
Xiang Chong happened to be returning to camp at this moment.
As Liu Chan looked, he immediately saw the prison car behind Xiang Chong.
At this moment, Pang De, who was tied up with five flowers, sat slumped in the prison car. His eyes were dull and his face looked desperate.
The smile on Liu Chan's face was very bright.
Pang Lingming, Pang Lingming, you want to be famous, you want to be a marquis and a general.
So...
Are you willing to become a general under my command, Mr. Liu?
