"Come on! Drink!"
In the lobby of Wang'an County Government Office, Pang Shou and a group of generals were drinking happily.
These generals were a little nervous. When they followed Ren Jun, drinking in the army was a crime of beheading. Especially during the war, everyone did not drink.
They haven't tasted wine for a long time.
I have even gotten used to a life without drinking.
Now that Pang Shou came, he took them to drink that night, and with the victory, they felt a lot better. Although they still missed Ren Jun, they were more pleased with Pang Shou.
In addition, the commander invited them to drink, so they didn't dare not drink. After a few tweaks at first, they let go.
Very much like a woman who refuses to welcome you.
Pang Shou invited them to drink. First, he was really happy that he had won a big victory today and had to hold a celebration banquet to celebrate.
Secondly, he also had to win over people's hearts. He also knew that these people were all subordinates of Ren Jun, and they were very dissatisfied with him. If they were disobeying him on the battlefield and delayed the war, it would be a small matter to chop their heads off, but it would be a big deal to delay the war. ah.
It's impossible for him to remove all the generals from their posts, right? It would be strange not to mutiny.
Twenty generals sat at two full tables, changing glasses, drinking happily, and they were all enjoying themselves.
At Xu time, everyone was a little drunk. Suddenly, a scout ran in from outside and shouted,
"Report! Commander! Urgent military information!"
When the generals heard this, they immediately stood up nervously, their whole bodies tense. Their years of combat experience made them immediately enter a fighting state.
Pang Shou did not stand up, but still sat on the chair, frowning and said displeasedly,
"What kind of behavior do you have when you are yelling and yelling, disturbing my pleasure? What's the matter? Nie Chen came to attack the city at night?"
"No, Commander, Nie Chen ran away! All the 400,000 troops outside the city withdrew!"
"Hey, I thought Nie Chen was attacking the city."
Pang Shou said something disapprovingly, then suddenly his eyes widened, he stood up suddenly, and shouted,
"What? What did you say? Nie Chen ran away?"
"Yes, Commander, I saw with my own eyes that the Feng Army had broken out of camp and were heading out. They left in a hurry, and many of the tents were not taken away in time."
Pang Shou was sober now and said immediately,
"No! Nie Chen was so frightened by me that he didn't dare to run away during the day for fear that I would chase him, so he ran away at night.
quick! You guys, hurry up and collect all the soldiers and horses in your headquarters, and follow the commander in pursuit of the enemy!
Nie Chen left in a hurry, carrying baggage and other things, and there was no military formation to speak of. This was a great opportunity for us to chase down the enemy! "
"I will obey your orders!"
Twenty generals ran out in a hurry and went to the military camp to order their troops.
Pang Shou also walked outside and said,
"Quick! Take me to the top of the city to see if the enemy has really left!"
"I obey, villain!"
The scout quickly took Pang Shou to the northern city wall.
Soon, Pang Shou came to the city wall. It was a cloudy day tonight and the visibility was not high, but Pang Shou could clearly see that the Fengjun camp to the north was brightly lit, both on the wall and in the military camp. , lighted torches and braziers.
Even the figures of the soldiers standing guard in neat rows on the wall could be seen clearly under the light of torches.
Pang Shou looked ugly, slapped the scout on the face, and shouted,
"What the hell, Nie Chen ran away? Keep your eyes open and take a good look. Aren't the enemy troops still in the camp? Look at the soldiers who have been forced outside. They all look neat and tidy. Do they look like they are running away?
Someone, drag this beast down and chop him down for lying about military information. "
"Damn it, you disturbed my enjoyment of drinking, and also made it difficult for 200,000 people to sleep well."
Seeing that he was about to be beheaded, the scout quickly knelt down and said,
"Commander! What I said is absolutely true. I saw the enemy retreating to the north with my own eyes. I saw it while patrolling on horseback. I am willing to put my head on my neck to guarantee it.
If you don't believe me, you can send people to investigate again. It's not a big deal if you chop off the villain's head, but it's a big deal if you delay the war. If we don't pursue them now, it will be difficult for Nie Chen and the others to reach Nanhe County in a few days.
Commander, don’t let this great contribution go to waste. "
Seeing the scout's assurance, Pang Shou began to believe it and muttered,
"Okay, anyway, Nie Chen was too scared by me to fight, so there's nothing to lose by going out for a walk.
You kid, go with me. If the enemy doesn't retreat, I'll chop off your head first! "
"The villain must be sure. If it is a lie, the villain will kill himself in front of you and die to apologize!"
After a while, 200,000 troops poured out of the alleys in the city, lined up on the streets, and prepared to set off.
In a county town, the military camp would definitely not be able to house so many troops, but if we were to fight a city defense battle, we would definitely not be able to station them outside the city. We could only requisition some civilian houses, and then set up tents in the streets and alleys to house people.
They had just fought one battle during the day, and they were so tired that they thought they could have a good sleep at night, but they didn't expect that as soon as they lay down, they were pulled up to fight again.
Damn it, even the animals at home can't stand it.
At this time, the army was full of complaints, but they did not dare to disobey the commander's order.
Pang Shou took the scout down the city wall and opened the city gate.
He shouted to the soldiers,
"We just received a tip-off that Nie Chen's army was so frightened by us that they ran away. They have been fighting around us for so long, how can they run away now if they want?
You and I will go out together with my commander to chase down the enemy. The enemy is fleeing now and is in disarray. These are all heads and military exploits for nothing!
Come and kill the enemy with me soon! "
"Kill!"
Pang Shou took the lead and led the soldiers to kill outside.
An army of 200,000 people poured out of the city gate in a mighty manner and headed toward the outer north.
After galloping for a while, Pang Shou arrived outside the Fengjun camp and slowed down.
He saw torches burning on the wall of the Fengjun camp, and many soldiers in armor standing motionless on guard.
"Damn it? Didn't you evacuate?"
Pang Shou said doubtfully.
The scout said quickly,
"Commander! Something is wrong. If the enemy troops had not withdrawn, shouldn't they be so quiet? They should have gathered together and shot us with arrows. How could they just look at us like this?"
"You're right, go in and take a look."
Pang Shou said to the scout.
"Ah I?"
Although the scout swore that he must have seen the enemy's retreat, if he was asked to go to the enemy's camp alone now, he would be lying if he said he was not afraid.
"What are you afraid of? Two hundred thousand of us are here to help you. Go, if the enemy troops really withdraw, I will promote you to be the leader this time!"
Hearing this, the scout was ecstatic, and his desire for promotion and salary increase outweighed his fear.
