Chapter 655: A sinister and vicious plan
Unlike the arrows shot by these Funan people, the arrows of the Funan people are difficult to hit Liu Zheng's army, but Liu Zheng and these people, using arrows and even some simple trebuchets, can easily hit Dasu City.
This time, Fan Man was a little caught off guard.
It's only a matter of dodging and hiding.
However, Fan Man is not a vegetarian, and when he saw that Liu Zheng actually attacked first, he immediately gave the order.
"Quick, put the Han people we captured on the city tower for me, so that they don't dare to attack!"
Fan Man immediately ordered and made a bad move.
Let his subordinates push these captured Han people to the top of the city tower.
These Han people are all unarmed poor people, after being captured by Fan Man, although they are nominally used for the army, but in fact, they just want to use these people as shields and cannon fodder.
In the current situation, Fan Man naturally pushed these Han people to the front without hesitation.
Those soldiers of Funan Kingdom quickly pushed the thousands of Han people captured here to the city tower.
Those people cried and begged for mercy, but they didn't get Fan Man's sympathy and attention, and still pushed these people to the front, deliberately using them to attract Liu Zheng's firepower.
When Liu Zheng saw this scene, his face suddenly turned ugly.
Sun Jian also walked over and took the initiative to report with Liu Zheng.
"My lord, it's not good, these bastards from Funan really used our big Han people as a shield."
This kind of thing was expected by Sun Jian and Liu Zheng when they were in Linyi City before, but when it really happened, Liu Zheng was immediately enraged.
Although he was provoked, Liu Zheng still broke the momentum and calmed down temporarily.
"Don't let go of the arrows, let's stop for now."
Liu Zheng could only stop shooting for the time being.
Sun Jian waved his hand and ordered his men to stop shooting.
The panicked Han people on the city tower saw that Liu Zheng's side had stopped attacking, and immediately recovered from despair, and shouted thank you to Liu Zheng under the city, it was Liu Zheng who saved their lives.
But Fan Man on the side became even more intensified.
Because he found that this trick was actually useful against these Han people, and it had a miraculous effect, those Liu Zheng's men and horses did not dare to attack at all, and were afraid of the death and injury of their own people.
After realizing this, Fan Man became bold, as long as there were big Han people by his side, he could let Liu Zheng's people throw themselves into the trap.
"Hahaha, Liu Zheng, why don't you attack and keep shooting."
Seeing that Liu Zheng's army had died down, Fan Man jumped out again and continued to shout at Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng's face was gloomy at this time, and he was thinking of a way to eliminate Fan Man without preserving the people.
But now that Fan Man is in the city and Liu Zheng is outside the city, Liu Zheng doesn't have any advantage, at most he doesn't attack.
Therefore, Liu Zheng simply did not attack for the time being, waited here, and waited for the arrival of Zhou Cang's 50,000 main army.
And Fan Man saw that Liu Zheng did not attack or retreat, but he was not in a hurry, because he was also waiting, waiting for the soldiers and horses from the other two county towns.
Liu Zheng naturally knew what Fan Man was waiting for, he just wanted to do this on purpose, only when Fan Man went out of the city to face the battle, could he avoid defending the city, and this was the best way to eliminate Fan Man.
Not long after, Mo made an appointment for an hour. The spies on Liu Zheng's side have already come to report to Liu Zheng that in the other two directions of Dasu City, two groups of unknown forces have appeared.
The number of people is about 10,000.
These people, needless to say, are the army that Fan Man has arranged in the other two counties.
Liu Zheng, who received the news, immediately began to give orders to let his men and horses begin to retreat slowly in the direction of Linyi City.
The speed of retreat was deliberately slowed down, just to attract the attention of Fan Man in this Dasu City, and then let Fan Man go out of the city to fight.
Sure enough, when the army on Liu Zheng's side began to retreat, Fan Man on the city tower had already noticed it.
Fan Man, who had been closely staring at Liu Zheng's camp, didn't know that Liu Zheng chose to retreat at this time, something must have happened.
If you think about it with your ass, you can know that the only thing that can make Liu Zheng retreat is the support of the other two soldiers and horses under him.
Calculate the time, it is almost at this time, so as soon as he saw Liu Zheng retreating, how could Fan Man let Liu Zheng escape from outside Dasu City so easily.
"Quick, get out of the city, let's go out of the city, we must contain Liu Zheng, don't let them run away, this is our golden opportunity, we must leave these Han people here completely!"
Fan Man got up immediately, didn't even give Liu Zheng too much time to react, hurriedly ran down from the top of the city tower, and then directly led his 20,000 troops to rush out of the city from Dasu City, intending to intercept Liu Zheng's men and horses.
After all, Liu Zheng withdrew his troops first, and his reaction speed was deliberately slowed down, but it was still faster than Fan Man's pursuit.
Therefore, the battlefield gradually began to shift from outside Dasu City to the direction of Linyi City.
The 20,000 army retreated behind, while Fan Man's 20,000 army pursued behind.
The two sides kept a distance, although Fan Man had thousands of war elephants and horses, but the elephants did not move fast, not as fast as manpower, so it was not easy to pursue Liu Zheng in a short time.
Liu Zheng ran for a while and received the news from the spies that Zhou Cang's army was less than half an hour's journey away from Liu Zheng, and Liu Zheng was relieved.
continued to slow down, and just like that, Fan Man thought that he had really caught up with Liu Zheng.
Seeing that Liu Zheng's men and horses were ready to defend in front, Fan Man gathered the soldiers and horses of the three parties, and a total of 40,000 troops surrounded Liu Zheng's men and horses at once.
40,000 people, plus some cannon fodder soldiers and horses of the big man, in terms of numbers, it is obviously far superior to Liu Zheng's side, which also makes Fan Man determined to win.
"Hahaha, Liu Zheng, this time I'll see where you're going, today's forest is where you are buried."
Seeing that his 40,000-strong army surrounded Liu Zheng, Fan Man, who came out of the army, was still very proud, and he was completely unfazed in Dasu City.
Liu Zheng didn't refute it, after all, in Liu Zheng's eyes, Fan Man in front of him was also not far from death.
"Aguduo, Feliji, you two, lead your own men and horses, charge me, kill these Han people, occupy their territory, and rob their women!"
This time, Fan Manxue was smart, and he didn't have the ability to talk with Liu Zheng here, so he directly opened his mouth and ordered his own people to attack.
This may also be the reason why he opened his mouth to say two words, but Liu Zheng did not respond to him.
