For a while, the generals complained a little. But Lu Bu, as Pang Tong's elder brother, still persuaded himself, and went to persuade the generals one by one: "Don't be suspicious, my virtuous brother is resourceful, can I wait with him from birth to death until now, can I still be more careful?" ”

Of course, the generals didn't dare to make irresponsible remarks about Pang Tong, after all, the priorities were different, and they were all loyal, so they were afraid that Pang Tong would do something wrong. Moreover, the soldiers all noticed that Pang Tong did not go to order troops and lined up, and spent the next few days with those craftsmen. They smell some saltpeter-like pungent smell, or see large swaths of red-stained paper hanging. It was even rumored that Pang Tong invited a clever Taoist priest to do it, so he asked Lu Su to prepare some necessary items. This kind of speech was immediately strangled to death by Jia Xu, and he ordered someone to post a notice: "Those who bewitch the public with gossip will be beheaded." ”

Of course, this is also the result of consulting Pang Tong. Pang Tong himself knows that the longer the time drags on, the morale of the army will inevitably fade gradually. In Wenwu's view, it was the most appropriate to challenge after defeating Ma Chao's sneak attack last time, and it was at a time when morale was high. But Pang Tong has his big plan, he asked Jia Xu and Lu Bu to manage military discipline, and he and Lu Su supervised the tasks of the craftsmen.

One day, the sky was clear, and suddenly a thunderclap sounded, and the red flowers scattered. The horses were so frightened that they neighed, and Lu Bu and other soldiers rushed out of the camp with weapons in hand. Lu Bu saw that there was silence around him, looked up and muttered, "What's the matter, such a good weather, what kind of sound is that." Seems close, huh? ”

Another thunderclap that exploded in the clear, boundless sky. The crowd in the village began to look up, and they caught the only clue, the red scraps of paper that had drifted down. Someone picked it up, but it was very ordinary, with the smell of gunsmoke. Why did these pieces of paper go up to the sky, just after the thunder roared in the sky, and the sky was cloudless...... The question of the soldier was in a hurry, and the bold man took the initiative to mention the matter of Pang Tong inviting a Taoist priest. Although some people were whipped for violating military orders, many people thought that this was indeed the case. For they could not find a better reason to explain this strange phenomenon than the doctrine of gods and ghosts.

Lu Bu couldn't bear it anymore, and walked to the tent where the craftsman was, which was fenced off by a separate fence, and the interesting thing was that the fence here was two feet high, and it was a large tree pole with a sharpened top, which was higher than the outer one. There are two separate wooden doors, which are tightly closed. Outside the door, two soldiers were guarding with guns, their expressions serious. Lu Bu looked a little displeased, as if he wanted to isolate some secrets and isolate them, civil and military officials.

He strode over, the faces of the soldiers on both sides twitched, and the nervous expressions crossed the spears in his hands in front of Lu Bu. Lu Bu's eyes were round and domineering, and the bodies of the two soldiers trembled a little, and cold sweat unconsciously overflowed down their faces. Their moods are synchronized, like their hearts are being clenched.

The guard on one side said, "Lord Lu, don't trespass. The huge man ordered that no one could enter without his command. ”

"You have to wait for Hugh to be presumptuous!"

Lu Bu said loudly, and the two of them couldn't resist it at all. One thought to himself, "He's the brother of a huge man, so he should have no problem going in." As soon as he put away his spear, the guards on the other side did so. Lu Bu snorted coldly, shook the crown of his hair and pushed open the wooden doors on both sides with one hand. This is followed by an even stronger smell of saltpeter. He frowned and looked around, it was red, and behind this doorway, there were large pieces of red paper hanging on many large wooden shelves. When he was going around the labyrinth-like walls formed by these red papers, a person walked out, it was Lu Su with a somewhat heavy face. Lu Bu saw that his eyes were dark, and said, "How did you get this look?" ”

Lu Su almost bumped into him, but when he heard the sound, he looked up and saw that it was Lu Bu, so he smiled and said, "Lord Lu, let's go out." If you go in, the huge people will be unhappy. He said that no one could come in, and that the offender would be given fifty lashes. If you come in rashly and violate military discipline, you are not afraid that everyone will talk about the lack of prestige in the huge army in the future? ”

Lu Bu's lips were pushed up into a figure-eight shape, and he said, "You're also here to bluff me?" ”

"The lower officials don't dare."

Seeing him bowing, Lu Bu had no choice but to say, "Forget it, forget it, just don't go in." You also take good care of yourself, and help me take care of Shiyuan. Don't get tired and lie down. He said and looked inside with his glasses, but he couldn't see anything, it was all red.

"The lower officials will do so."

"If it is a matter of gods and ghosts, and it causes a catastrophe, I will not spare you!"

Lu Su kept silent and kept his hands up. Lu Bu turned and left.

Time was fast, and Liu Yan's army came to Chencang County under the command of Yan Yan. 20,000 cavalry and 80,000 infantry, neatly arrayed to challenge outside the south gate of Chencang County.

Zang Ba stood on the city tower and watched the enemy's formation from afar, and said to Badar, who was standing aside and was now the county lieutenant and the head of the Wasai tribe: "A well-trained army. ”

"Let me kill it! Liu Yan's lackeys must pay for their lives for our people! Badal was furious.

Zang Ba continued to pay attention to the situation of the enemy soldiers, and said lightly: "Don't mess up." ”

"I'm not messing up, I'm going to go out and kill the enemy."

Zang Ba turned his head to look at him helplessly, and said, "For the general, learn to be calm." I don't think you're usually like that. ”

Badal turned his face aside when he heard this, and said, "Then what do you say?" ”

Zang Ba said: "Although I don't have a civil and military strategy, I have also gone through a lot of battles. Now that we are waiting in the city, he will inevitably lose his troops if he wants to storm it. That's why they came to my south gate to stay, this is to ask us to fight. Someone will come to provoke in a while. ”

Not necessarily, a horse out of the army of Yan Yan, holding two melon hammers, with a majestic body, came to the city and said loudly to the city tower: "I am Liu Yanjun's thunder copper." Which rat is leading the troops in the city, and he still doesn't come out to surrender! ”

"Damn!" Badar gritted his teeth for a while, looked at Zang Ba's calm expression coldly and said, "How can you bear it." ”

Zang Ba actually laughed and said: "If an idiot has to take everything to heart, wouldn't it make people annoyed." As a military general, we must know how to advance and retreat in a measured manner. What is the difference between an enemy who rushes out with a few casual words and a dog that runs away looking at a piece of meat? ”

Badal took a deep breath and said no more, his expression a little displeased, but he somewhat agreed with what he had just said.

Seeing that no one answered, Lei Tong continued to shout: "I heard that Pang Tong is dead, and he came out to cheat the corpse again, I really want to see it." I already knew that this was a demon, and I was so laughing at my ancestors that you ignorant people regarded him as a general or a commander! ”

He raised his hammer again and said, "Come out quickly and surrender, otherwise our army will attack the city and kill no chickens and dogs!" ”

Zang Ba slowly leaned out at this time and said, "I thought it was someone, but it turned out to be a person whose name I had never heard." Get out of here for me, let Liu Yan come in person, you arrogant son of a dog will not be treated well! ”

Lei Tong's face was full of anger and shouted: "Ah! You're so bad! ”

"It's just not as bad as you." Zang Ba laughed after speaking.

Lei Tong was annoyed and said, "There is a kind of come down to try your skills, don't hide on the wall, what kind of hero!" ”

Zang Ba grabbed the edge of the window with both hands and said loudly: "I see that you are waiting for you to come from afar, people are sleepy and tired, and you don't want to kill them all like this." Come back when you have slept and drunk enough. This is also the righteousness of my Pang Tongjun, unlike you and other rats, who only know how to shout! ”

"Yay! You bastard! ”

Lei Tong's face was flushed with anger, and he returned to the battle. Badar, who was still unconvinced just now, couldn't help but laugh and said, "Is this a war of words?" ”

Zang Batou replied without looking back: "This is a battle of the heart, and the husband can bend and stretch." ”

Yan Yan saw that the challenge could not be achieved, so he ordered someone to ring the gong to withdraw the troops. Twenty miles to the southwest.

The next morning, Yan Yan once again set up a formation outside the south gate of Chencang County, letting Lei Tong challenge. Zang Ba does not come out of the wall. Yan Yan ordered the ladder and the crashing car to lean forward. The army began to advance.

In the eyes of the Badar of the city tower, there was the momentum of a hundred thousand troops marching at the same time. This was the first time since he became an official that he faced a siege battle in which the enemy had twice the strength of his own army. He looked down, and the neatly arranged phalanx advanced one by one. He immediately rushed downstairs. At this time, Zang Ba was ordering the city wall guards to be on full alert.

When the enemy approached, the ladder was set up outside the wall. The guards threw down rolling stones and poured hot oil. A thrilling war officially unfolded in Badar's eyes and mind. He stood behind him with his scimitar and an iron shield with a tiger head pattern, and was wearing iron armor. He waited, took another deep breath, and slowly exhaled again. In order to adapt to the heavy equipment, he ran around every day wearing his armor. However, his strong torso was already able to fight with easy armor.

The soldier who had lifted the stone was pierced in the throat by a single shot, and the grayish-white, irregular stone fell and hit the instep of his own foot, and he died in agony. The soldier who had drawn his spear, came up from the ladder, and put one hand on the battlement, had just seen the whole view of the wall, when Badal knocked him away with his shield. The man fell off the wall, and his limbs were broken. With another sword, Badar cut off the head of the man who was about to climb up. He's already red-eyed.
