"Caught them all?" When Yuan Yun asked, Pang Tong just frowned on the side.

Although the garrison of the baggage battalion has been strengthened, they never expected that the enemy would be some outlaws, who filled their arms with fire oil, and then suddenly launched a surprise attack on the baggage battalion, but they did not think of how to deal with those who were not afraid of death.

Even if these people were on fire, they did not forget to charge into the baggage camp, and then pounced on them when they saw something, such a crazy act really allowed them to succeed, the gunpowder ammunition reserve of the baggage battalion was instantly lost 30%, and the guards also suffered heavy casualties, more than 400 were killed, most of them were killed or injured by the explosive powder shells.

And the loss of thirty percent of the baggage is because Yuan Yun was worried about the chain reaction before, so he specially implemented division management in the baggage camp, which minimized the loss.

However, after such a loss, the idea of continuing to march into Chengdu had to be abandoned, and if you waited for supplies from Chang'an to arrive, then you would have to stay in Hanzhong City for three or four months, which was really unbearable for such a long time.

Looking at the fifty or sixty enemies in front of him who were captured alive, Yuan Yun sighed secretly, the person who dared to pour fire oil on himself, and then died with the gunpowder bullets of the baggage battalion, was definitely not a person who was afraid of death, so even torture was estimated to have no effect.

And even without interrogation, you can guess who sent these people, only those fanatical believers who believe in religion will do such an inhumane thing, so the person behind it must be enchanting, Wudou Mijiao really became a terrorist organization in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Tell Zilong not to miss the ghost woman of the bewitching woman, shoot it immediately after seeing it, and leave nothing alive, and after the new Shou of Hanzhong takes over, it must be completely killed, so that even a single disciple of the Five Doumi Sect cannot survive." After Yuan Yun gave the order, he returned to his camp with Pang Tong.

At this moment, they have set up camp outside Hanzhong City, but the camp has not yet been properly arranged, and this group of people actually launched such a crazy attack during the day, which is really unexpected.

After returning to his camp tent, Yuan Yun looked at the city wall in the distance along the position of the camp gate, and then said lightly to the herald: "Give the order to open the cannon, from now on no one can be let go in the city." ”

After a short time, after Pang Tong prepared the tea, the sound of the artillery began to howl wildly, and from the position at the gate of the camp, the city wall of Hanzhong had begun to burn.

When the artillery had been fired for half an hour, they began to adjust as usual, and let the artillery cool, and at this time five horsemen rushed out from the city gate, holding white flags, apparently intending to get closer to pass the word.

Shi Shen was soon ordered to go to the front, and the five knights did not dare to approach, so they shouted from a long distance: "My master will bring Ling Bao to Yuan Hou." ”

Shi Shen shouted impatiently: "If you have a fart, let it go, and if you have something to say, say it quickly." ”

The knight was not angry, and immediately continued: "General Lingbao has received an order from my monarch to withdraw to Yizhou, and will never participate in the affairs of Hanzhong again, so I hope that Yuan Hou can let the 20,000 people in our city leave." ”

Shi Shen nodded angrily, then turned around and ran back to the position of the big tent of the Chinese army, and after about a few incense sticks, he returned again, and then looked at the five knights coldly and shouted loudly: "My lord said, let you go back to Hanzhong City and wait for death, it is best to resist desperately, because none of you can return to Yizhou, all of you will be slaughtered here, this is the reply to the grandson of your monarch Liu Zhang." ”

Speaking of this, Shi Shen was about to return, but he seemed to suddenly remember something, so he quickly turned around and continued to shout: "By the way, my lord also said that since your Liu Zhang participated in Liu Bei's alliance and dared to seize our Hanzhong, then let him wash his neck, and soon the Luoyang gunpowder army will be opened, and the target is directly aimed at your Chengdu, if you have the ability, let him send troops to stop it." ”

After saying this, Shi Shen didn't have much to pay attention to the panicked knights, and when he returned to the Chinese army's big tent, Yuan Yun had already played Go with Pang Tong with a smile, and the two didn't seem to be very serious, and they had to say a lot of things before they fell.

When Pang Tong saw Shi Shen returning, he immediately smiled and said, "The messenger has already returned?" ”

Shi Shen arched his hand and replied: "I've already gone back, looking at the appearance of their return, I know that they are panicking, I think they really plan to resist desperately this time." ”

After answering Pang Tong, Shi Shen immediately asked Yuan Yun with some doubts: "Lord, why do you need to force the other party to fight to the death?" Wouldn't that make it difficult for us to take the city? ”

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth raised slightly, and then replied: "Who said that I was going to attack the city?" Hanzhong City is indeed a piece of chicken ribs, and it is a pity to discard it if it is tasteless, so after consulting with Pang Tong's military division, I decided to completely erase this city from the map, following the example of Xinye. ”

Shi Shen was stunned and said in surprise: "Then how will we control the Hanzhong Territory in the future?" ”

Yuan Yun replied lightly: "The scale of Yang Aruo's cottage, even if he is a strong city now, it is not an exaggeration, and when he took refuge in Luoyang, he was appointed by the prince of Cao Ang, so he will be appointed as the manager of the Hanzhong territory, and in the future, he will have the final say on this land, and Luoyang will no longer actually send troops to garrison this side, but only provide supplies behind his back." ”

Shi Shen only remembered at this time that there was a Yang Aruo in the Hanzhong realm, and there was indeed no better candidate to manage this side of the snake, and after knowing this, he no longer asked anything, but honestly stood on Yuan Yun's side, and from time to time he poured tea and water and began to serve.

After a long time, Pang Tong suddenly frowned, and then shook his head with a wry smile, because he lost this game of chess again, he felt very unhappy when he thought about it, Yuan Yun was absent-minded every time he played chess, but every time he was able to win, which was really discouraging.

Yuan Yun knows his own business, what he plays chess with Pang Tong is just the artificial intelligence on the chip in his brain, he is actually just stretching out his fingers to place the chess pieces, and more time he spends his time drawing drawings in his head, or checking the nearby topographic maps.

Pang Tong put away all the sunspots, then looked outside the camp tent, and said: "For a day of shelling like this, Hanzhong City is estimated to be unable to see, and tomorrow I estimate that Lingbao will send someone out to deliver the letter, and then they will also see our combat strength, can the lord start to let them fight in the nest?" ”

Yuan Yun nodded, and then instructed Shi Shen: "If this Ling Bud sends another messenger out tomorrow, you will tell the other party, let them exterminate all the Wudoumi Sect disciples in the city, this is their only way to survive, only by completing this matter, their Yizhou people and horses can return safely." ”

Shi Shen was stunned for a moment and asked, "What if this bud doesn't believe us?" ”

Pang Tong smiled and said: "Where is he still talking now, he will either listen to us, or he will wait to be killed, don't you see that the outermost city wall has collapsed?" At this pace, we will continue to bomb, and the entire Hanzhong City will not be able to be seen for four or five days at most, so the bud can only be our proposal as the last straw, and we will never refuse. ”

Shi Shen's face suddenly showed joy, which was equivalent to saving the Gunpowder Army brothers from going into battle in person, as long as they waited for the Yizhou army in the city to start fighting, and then killed all those disciples of the Five Doumi Sect.

Yuan Yun stretched at this time, and then ordered Shi Shen: "Go and pass on my order, the artillery can't stop firing tonight." ”

After Shi Shen left, Pang Tong instantly became a little worried, and muttered: "Most of the ammunition we lost before was artillery ammunition, and I don't know if we can bluff the bud with such a strong attack, and by noon tomorrow, we will have no ammunition available, so we will still send the soldiers of the gunpowder army into the city at that time." ”

Yuan Yun also frowned, now they are actually deliberately performing, and letting the artillery fire ferociously is also to cover up the dilemma of insufficient shells, so at the moment they can only see that the bud is not hit, if the other party really believes that the gunpowder army has enough ammunition, then everything will be easy to do, otherwise it will really only be possible to let the gunpowder army kill people in the city, in that case, I don't know how many people will die.

"The lord is indeed not suitable for leading the army, Mr. Wenhe said before, and now I see it the same way, the lord you really cherish the lives of the soldiers, if you encounter a tough battle like this, I am afraid that you will really have to lose the way." When Pang Tong spoke, his eyes kept looking outside the tent.

Yuan Yun smiled bitterly and said: "What I am doing now is to prevent the so-called tough battle from happening, only after I have absolute strength, I can have this self-confidence, so at the moment, I really don't want the soldiers to attack the city with their lives." ”

Pang Tong snorted, and said: "Zilong, as a retainer, it is better to leave the matter of going into battle to him in the future, the identity of the lord is different now, and it is really not suitable for you to always lead troops to the battle, so this time I hope it will be the last time the lord will lead the troops to the battle." ”

Yuan Yun laughed and said: "Shiyuan still doesn't want me to lead the troops, but that's fine, I really don't plan to lead the troops to the expedition this time, I'm tired all the way, every day I sit in that broken car, my ass is about to be turned in half, so I will never leave Luoyang after this time, and I will concentrate on making weapons for you over there in the future." ”

When Pang Tong heard this, his face immediately showed sincere joy, and he nodded: "This is a great good, the role played by the lord in Luoyang is definitely greater than that of personally leading the troops to the battle, this is already something that everyone in Luoyang can see." ”

Speaking of this, Pang Tong paused slightly, and then changed the topic and said: "The letter sent by Luoyang before said that Zhongshan Zhen was pregnant with the lord's child, and now that we have been out for a few months, we may be able to catch up with the child before the child lands after returning this time." ”

Yuan Yun heard Pang Tong say this, and his brows immediately began to knot, if he couldn't rush back before the child was born, God knows what Zhen Mi's stingy temperament would do, and I am afraid that he will definitely not give him a good life in the future.

Sighing slightly, Yuan Yun pointed to the outside of the camp tent, and then said with a smile: "Hurry up and end the matter here, and then go home immediately, from now on, I really don't want to come out to fight in the winter." ”
