Han Xuan received the edict of the Son of Heaven, and the Han court ordered him to go to Huang Zu, Zhang Zhao stepped forward and said: "Cao Cao's move must be to let Liu Biao and Liu Du drag the lord, so that he can avoid worries and start a war with Yuan Shao." ”

Zhong Xuan said to Zhang Zhao: "In Zibu's words, Liu Du's army on the border has been frequently mobilized recently, and it seems that he is preparing to join forces with Liu Biao. ”

Han Xuan asked, "Does Yuan Chang think I should send troops to fight against Huang Zu?" ”

Zhong Xuan bowed and said: "The edict of the Son of Heaven, the lord had better obey it." ”

Han Xuan hesitated for a while, and Lu Su said, "The lord is worried about the affairs of Danyang and Wu County? ”

Han Xuan nodded, and Lu Su said: "The lord can order Sun Quan to come in person, Huang Zu already has a grudge against him for killing his father." It is not only reasonable to order Sun Quan to attack Huang Zu today, but also to prevent changes in Wu County. ”

Han Xuan stroked his palms and exclaimed: "What Zijing said is very true, I have this intention. ”

Han Xuan asked Sun Quan to lead Sun Jing, Zhu Zhi, Pan Zhang and others to attack Huang Zu together, and joined the 20,000 troops led by Han Xuan, led by Gan Ning, Tai Shici, and Zhou Tai. Han Xuan's 30,000 army advanced by land and water, Liu's cousin Liu Pan guarded Shaxian and refused to fight, and Han Xuan's army fought another battle.

Han Xuan naturally would not let his soldiers die in vain, and he naturally gave up the siege vanguard to Sun Quan. Sun Quan sent Pan Zhang to lead 5,000 men to storm the east gate, but Pan Zhang led his men to be beaten back before they could climb the city wall.

Sun Quan didn't bring many people, and he was worried that if he continued like this, he would fight out his own parts, so he came to Han Xuan's theory. Sun Quan broke into the big tent, Zhou Shan couldn't stop him, Sun Quan looked directly at Han Xuan: "General, my subordinates have suffered heavy casualties, but the general's subordinates have not moved." Why? ”

Han Xuan opened his eyelids and said to him: "Zhongmou, Huang Zu has a feud with the Sun family, but he has no grudge against the general. The general was only ordered by the imperial court to crusade against Huang Zu, and now I order you to lead the army to take revenge in person, which is also for your good. Wouldn't it be great that you can lead the army to avenge your father with your own hands? ”

Sun Quan was speechless by Han Xuan's refutation, and Pan Zhang sneered: "It's just that some people are watching the fire from the other side, and they want to take advantage of the defeat of our lord and Huang Zu, so as to profit from it!" ”

Sun Quan shouted: "Wen Jue, don't be rude!" ”

Pan Zhang lowered his head and stopped talking, Han Xuan was very tired of this Pan Zhang, he was loyal to Sun Quan, which was not good for him. Han Xuan said to Pan Zhang: "Captain Pan, I will send you 2,000 elite soldiers to attack the city together with your own soldiers and horses, and you must take the East City Gate." ”

Pan Zhang looked at Sun Quan, Sun Quan nodded at him, Pan Zhang clasped his fist at Han Xuan and bowed: "The last general will take the order." ”

Han Xuan asked Zhou Shan to lead Pan Zhang to take over the 2,000 men, and Sun Quan and Pan Zhang came to Dazhai, only to see more than 2,000 old and weak soldiers lined up in a loose line, waiting for the new general to give orders.

Pan Zhang was furious and asked Zhou Shandao: "This is the two thousand elite soldiers that Han Xuan said?" ”

Zhou Shan snorted coldly: "The right general is willing to allocate troops and horses to you, he already looks up to you, do you like it!" ”

Pan Zhang wanted to add fists and kicks to Zhou Shan, but Sun Quan shouted: "Wen Qi, stop!" And he led the two thousand soldiers back to the camp. ”

Pan Zhang's stomach was full of anger, Sun Quan twisted a jar of wine for Pan Zhang, and said to him: "Wen Qi, I want to avenge my father day and night, but my brother can't do it. I will definitely take the head of Huang Zu this time, so that my mother and sister will no longer look down on me, and prove that I am no worse than his grandson Uncle Fu! ”

Pan Zhang sighed and said, "I, Pan Zhang, am willing to smear the liver and brain of the lord, and I will capture the East City Gate tomorrow to see what Han Xuan has to say." ”

Sun Quan smiled and opened the wine jar and poured wine, and drank with Pan Zhang until late at night. The next day, Pan Zhang, wearing armor and holding a sword and shield, led two thousand old and weak soldiers and soldiers and horses to attack the east city gate. ”

Pan Zhang climbed up the ladder, and he used his iron shield to open a stone that had fallen from the city, and then split two arrows with his knife. Pan Zhang's subordinates also struggled to climb up the ladder, Pan Zhang finally went up the city wall, he jumped down and slashed in the crowd, slashing and killing many Liu Biaobing.

Pan Zhang's soldiers also rushed to the city, and the two sides fought to the death, and the scene was full of flesh and blood. When the two thousand old and weak soldiers sent to him by Han Xuan saw this scene, they were too timid to step forward, Pan Zhang sighed when he saw it, and killed in the direction of the city tower.

"Resist, hold on!" Liu Pan shouted after wielding a big sword and hacking several of Pan Zhang's subordinates to death.

Pan Zhang's blade was about to cut out a gap, Pan Zhang took off the iron chain he was carrying and swept away a large number of enemy troops in front of him, Liu Pan also saw the brave Pan Zhang, Liu Pan passed through the crowd and killed Pan Zhang.

Pan Zhang saw Liu Pan dancing with a knife to kill, and seeing that his armor should be an enemy general, Pan Zhang wanted to kill the general. Pan Zhang waved the big iron chain and swept towards Liu Pan's door, Liu Pan held it with a horizontal knife, and the two fought in the chaotic army, and the other party's soldiers constantly rushed over, and they were both killed by each other.

Liu Pan slashed at Pan Zhang, the knife was extremely fast, Pan Zhang's body couldn't stand such a high intensity, Pan Zhang felt like his legs were filled with lead.

Pan Zhang couldn't dodge this knife, Pan Zhang swept his heart horizontally and chained towards Liu Pan's right arm and grabbed it, and Liu Pan's knife cut off Pan Zhang's left arm. Pan Zhang relied on his only remaining right arm to tighten the chain and dragged Liu Pan over, Pan Zhang waved his right arm and slammed it towards Liu Pan's face, hitting Liu Pan's nose and swollen face.

Liu Pan was beaten and screamed in pain: "You husband, I'm going to kill you!" Someone, come and kill him for me! ”

Several Liu Biaojun spearmen surrounded him and stabbed the spears in their hands at Pan Zhang, who was still beating Liu Pan, and Pan Zhang was pierced through his chest by several spears. Pan Zhang's eyes widened and he fell on Liu Pan's body.

The next moment, Liu Pan's screams were endless: "Ah~~ my ears." ”

It turned out that Pan Zhang bit off Liu Pan's right ear with his teeth, and Liu Pan was in pain and desperately pushed Pan Zhang away. Several pro-soldiers pulled him up, Liu Pan raised his knife and slashed at Pan Zhang's corpse a few times, and Pan Zhang was completely dead.

Seeing Pan Zhang's death, the men and horses led by Pan Zhang retreated one after another, especially the two thousand Han Xuanjun, who were old and weak, and were the first to spread their feet and escape. However, they didn't have far from the ladder before they were pierced through their bodies by several spear-like arrows.

It turned out that Han Xuan's siege army moved, and the spears that flew were the "three-bow bed crossbow" newly developed by Liu Ye and Huang Daozhou. The arrows are made of hard wood and feathers of iron, which are called "one gun and three swords and arrows".

Han Xuan raised his sword and pointed at the city wall and shouted, "Those who retreat are killed!" ”

Han Xuanjun's three-bow bed crossbow then fired the "Stepping Arrow", which was spectacular when fired, and the arrows flew like javelins into the city, taking away the lives of a large number of enemy soldiers.

Han Xuanming Tai Shici, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Zhu Zhi and others led the army to move forward bravely, and Han Xuanjun pushed the three-bow bed crossbow not far from the city wall and fired it at close range. The giant arrows were directly nailed into the city wall, and more than a dozen bed crossbows were fired in a volley, and rows of pedal arrows were firmly nailed into the city wall, and the siege soldiers of Han Xuanjun took advantage of this to climb up.

Han Xuanjun continued to pour on the east city gate, Liu Pan and the defenders couldn't resist it, and after a pillar of incense time fought bravely, Han Xuanjun finally occupied the east city gate. Liu Pan wanted to lead the army to escape, but Tai Shi Ci hurriedly chased after him with a halberd, shouting: "Liu Pan is leaving, Tai Shi Ci is coming!" ”

Liu Pan covered his bitten right ear and fled in a hurry, but he didn't hear Tai Shi Ci coming, Tai Shi Ci stabbed it with a halberd, and Liu Pan flashed.

Liu Pan turned around and saw that it was his old opponent, Tai Shici, who was shocked. Liu Pan was not Tai Shi Ci's opponent, but now he was injured again, and he was killed by Tai Shi Ci without fighting with Tai Shi Ci.

Gan Ning and Zhu Zhi also led their troops to capture the West Gate and the South Gate, Liu Biao's defeated army fled from the North Gate, and Han Xuan's army finally occupied Shaxian. After the war, Han Xuan counted the casualties, and the one who died the most on his side was Sun Quan's troops, Sun Quan stopped the soldiers who carried Pan Zhang's body, and fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

Han Xuan was ready to make a two-day break from the battle, continue to attack Xiling, and completely defeat Huang Zu to capture Jiangxia. Unexpectedly, news came from the rear, which made Han Xuan worried.
