After Pang Shou arrived in Wang'an County, except for beating Zhang Feng to the end, he did not carry out drastic military reform, nor did he place any of his cronies.
In his opinion, no matter what kind of soldier he is, as long as he can handle a sword and a gun, and can follow him into battle to kill the enemy, his personal bravery can make up for all shortcomings.
After making arrangements to defend the city, Pang Shou went directly to bed.
He would not think about sneaking into Nie Chen's camp at night. He just wanted to fight Nie Chen openly on the battlefield, then defeat the enemy, kill Zhou An, capture Nie Chen alive, and show off his longevity. of bravery.
After a good night's sleep, Pang Shou got up early at dawn. After washing, he shouted and drank arrogantly, and then walked towards the north city wall.
He had heard that during this period, Nie Chen would shout insults outside the North City Wall.
He wanted to see if this Nie Chen had three heads and six arms.
After arriving at the north city wall, Pang Shou looked at the enemy camp outside the city. Smoke was rising from the enemy camp, and it was obvious that the enemy soldiers were cooking and eating.
Pang Shou said to Pang Wei beside him,
"Go and send an order for the army to assemble. Leave 50,000 people to defend the city. The rest should all be gathered to the north gate. When Nie Chen comes out, we will go directly in and eliminate Nie Chen."
Hearing this, Pang Wei quickly advised,
"Commander, the soldiers have been hungry all night and haven't eaten yet. They don't have enough to eat and they don't have the strength to fight. This fight lasts a day, and it's all about the meal in the morning! If they don't eat well, they won't have the strength in the middle of the fight. It won’t work.”
Hearing this, Pang Shou glared and said,
"Are we going to delay the opportunity to fight?"
"No, no, no, Marshal, the general has a good plan. You see, the enemy doesn't know you are coming yet. If Ren Jun leaves, they will definitely think that Ren Jun will be a coward like before.
They will send 400,000 troops to besiege the city as before, but we will hold our troops still for now.
After Nie Chen's 400,000-strong army is deployed outside the city, we will make a surprise attack, rush out of the city, defeat the 100,000-strong army in the north, capture Nie Chen alive, and force the enemy forces from the other three directions to surrender. In this way, the overall situation will be better. It’s determined.
Think about it, if the emperor knew that you had captured Nie Chen alive and forced the surrender of 400,000 enemy troops within one day after arriving here, he would definitely praise you greatly and grant you the title of Marquis and Prime Minister.
This kind of achievement is unprecedented and unprecedented. Maybe you can even make yourself a king. "
The more Pang Shou listened, the brighter his eyes became. He nodded repeatedly and said,
"Well, it makes sense, let's do it like this, you boy, I was right to let you become a general.
Hahaha, if I were to be granted the title of Marquis, I would ask the Emperor for merit, and I would let you become an earl without even saying a word.
If I were to become a king, you would be a marquis, hahaha.
Huh? No, I am actually a Marquis. "
"Hey, thank you Marshal, thank you Marshal!"
Pang Wei was so happy that he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Pang Shou, secretly thinking that he really came to the right place in Wang'an County this time.
Isn’t this heaven-shaking wealth just coming?
It really echoes the old saying, opportunities are sometimes more important than hard work.
The two of them laughed heartily and began to dream of becoming kings and marquises.
Soon, the army outside the city started to move, and a legion came towards Wang'an County, a huge crowd of people.
On the streets of Wang'an County, many Korean troops also appeared, beginning to gather and prepare to fight out of the city.
The army outside the city came to a stop a mile away and formed an orderly formation. Two horses walked out of the formation.
Both of them were wearing silver armor, one was not holding a weapon, and the other was holding a Fangtian painted halberd.
Soon, the two men stopped a stone's throw outside the city. The man without a weapon raised his head and looked at the top of the city and shouted loudly,
"The thieves above, call your commander-in-chief Ren Jun to come out and ask him to come over and talk to me!"
As soon as Pang Shou heard the words "I am the Marquis", his eyes immediately lit up, thinking that there was a Marquis opposite him, that was Nie Chen.
Is it really Nie Chen who is under the city wall?
Pang Wei also said,
"Commander, it looks like Nie Chen is down there."
Pang Shou nodded, but he was still a little worried. He grabbed a man next to him who was moving heavy wood and asked,
"Is that Nie Chen the one under the city?"
Zhang Feng raised his head, looked down, then nodded and said,
"It's Nie Chen, that's right."
"Eh? Are you Zhang Feng?"
Only then did Pang Shou see Zhang Feng clearly and grinned,
"It seems that General Zhang is working very hard. I think General Zhang also understands the importance of the supply camp. I am very pleased."
Zhang Feng curled his lips helplessly, dropped the wood in his hand, and looked outside.
At this time, Nie Chen outside was already impatient with waiting, and then shouted,
"Above you, are you deaf or mute? Didn't you hear what I said? Where is Ren Jun? Let Ren Jun come over quickly. I will continue to persuade him to surrender today. Is he afraid of being beaten by me and dare not come out? Already?"
When Pang Shou saw this, he stepped on the battlement with one foot and said loudly,
"Nie Chen, Ren Jun has been transferred back to the capital. Open your eyes and take a closer look. Who is this commander?!"
Hearing this, Nie Chen narrowed his eyes, looked carefully, and said,
"I don't know, who are you? Where is Ren Jun? Why were you transferred?"
Pang Shou laughed evilly and shouted,
"Nie Chen, I won't change my name when I'm in command, and I won't change my surname when I sit down. I am the Marquis of Shou Yuan of Great Han, Pang Shou!"
Nie Chen below, when he heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he shouted,
"What?! Are you Pang Shou? Are you Pang Shou?!"
Looking at Nie Chen, whose voice had become shrill due to fear, Pang Shou's vanity was greatly satisfied and he shouted,
"That's right, it's me. Are you afraid now?"
Zhou An on the side laughed and said,
"Are you Pang Shou? I heard that you are the most powerful general in Korea? I heard that you are brave and invincible and can lead an army by one person? I heard that you have never been defeated since you commanded the army? I heard that your military power is still better than mine. superior?"
To be honest, when Zhou An said these words, he almost made himself sick. His acting skills are not as good as Nie Chen.
"I am Zhou An, Pang Shou, the strongest general in Gale. Do you dare to come and fight me for 300 rounds to see who is more powerful between you and me?"
Pang Shou laughed and said,
"Why don't you dare? Just wait for me below. I'll go meet you right away!"
Hearing this, Pang Wei on the side quickly stopped Pang Shou and said,
"Commander, you must not do it. The enemy is outside. What if the enemy tries to trick him? As the commander of an army, you must not take risks easily. The key is to lead the army out and capture Nie Chen alive."
Nie Chen outside also grabbed Zhou An and shouted in an exaggerated voice,
"Zhou An, let's go. That's Pang Shou. We are no match for you. You can't beat him. Let's go! Let's go!"
