On a vacant land 200 miles away from Wuchang City, along the road paved by the pioneer Pan Zhang, and the bridge erected, Zhou Yu's Chinese army tent arrived here very smoothly.

The route is smooth and unimpeded. Zhou Yu should have felt happy, but his heart was trembling.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhou Yu and the generals were kneeling, and in front of them was Pan Zhang, who was covered in blood and holding a broken knife.

The armor is very heavy, and Zhou Yu himself is not strong, so Zhou Yu rarely wears armor, and today is no exception. Today, he is wearing a white Confucian robe.

Zhou Yu's face was strangely pale. There was a hint of disbelief in his eyes. and wrath.

He couldn't believe that Pan Zhang, who had been singing all the way and successfully entered the hinterland of Wuchang, would actually look like this, and return to see him in embarrassment.

Fifteen hundred troops, of which 1,000 are elite, and if they are gone, they will be gone.

When Zhou Yu heard Pan Zhang's confession, he only felt dizzy. At present, the rebellion in Jiangdong Shanyue is intensifying, and he came to conquer Jiangxia under great pressure. When he returned, he would also have to protect the left flank of Jiangdong, so that the Shanyue outbreak would not be too serious.

To put it bluntly, although Liu Feng was valued, he never thought that there would be such a big casualty. Even if there were such large casualties, they should be the overall casualties after the capture of Jiangxia.

And now that Wuchang City has not arrived, the pioneer Pan Zhang has lost the vanguard army.

There were only 9,000 elite soldiers in total, and 1,000 were lost in an eye.

Zhou Yu's eyes were filled with anger. Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yu asked, "According to military law, what should I do?" ”

Inside the tent, whether it was Zhu Zhi or some other generals, or Pan Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground, they were all shocked.

"General, now that the vanguard has been defeated, it will be bad for morale to kill the general again." Zhu Zhi immediately got up and said, although he was also annoyed with Pan Zhang's carelessness, but he was the least worthy of death.

"I'm just asking you, what to do?" Zhou Yu looked at Zhu Zhidao coldly, kill the general? Before the war, he told Pan Zhang in a thousand words, telling him to be careful, to be careful, but he still ended up like this, this general is also a general?

But recklessly.

"The case should be cut down." Zhu Zhi was shocked, then raised his head and begged to look at Zhou Yu, seeing that there was no trace of pity in Zhou Yu's eyes, he gritted his teeth.

"Hear? Someone came, dragged out and beheaded. Zhou Yu shouted coldly outside the tent.

As soon as Zhou Yu's voice fell, several wolf-like soldiers immediately rushed in outside the big tent, and they didn't hesitate at all, bent down to take Pan Zhang away.

Although Zhou Yu seems to be weak, he is actually the most strong. The army is known for its severity, and Pan Zhang is not the only general who has been killed.

So his own soldiers never thought he could laugh.

"Wait." Of course, Pan Zhang didn't come back to die, he came back to ask Zhou Yu to give him another chance to find Liu Fengxue's hatred. Seeing that his own soldiers were approaching him, Pan Zhang suddenly shouted, then raised his head, looked directly at Zhou Yu and said: "Although the last general was defeated, what happened was not the general's carelessness. ”

Saying that, Pan Zhang said to Zhou Yu sadly: "That's right, the last general is defeated, defeated." Almost dead. But the end will not be convinced. The last general will have to settle accounts with him. Please also ask the general to listen to the general's words, if the general insists on killing the general, the general is willing to die to correct military law. ”

When the few soldiers who entered the big tent heard this, they did not immediately go up to stand up to Pan Zhan, but turned their eyes to Zhou Yu.

"Say." Although Zhou Yu is strict, he is not an unkind person. Since his generals shouted injustice, of course he had to listen to it.

But if you can't tell a reason, Pan Zhang will die today.

Pan Zhang's expression perked up, and he immediately told Zhou Yu everything that happened today. Including his disguise of elite soldiers as auxiliaries, cautious guarding, and when encountering the enemy, he killed in battle. But it doesn't get the upper hand. was the only one who was defeated by the other party's sharp weapon, and he said all kinds of things.

No oil or vinegar. There is only a stomach full of disobedience.

After Zhou Yu heard this, a trace of shock flashed from anger in his eyes. Although Pan Zhang is a little bit big in terms of behavior, he has to say that he is very cautious.

There are strong soldiers, and they are cautious. In this case, under the condition of the superiority in numbers, under the ambush of Liu Feng, almost the entire battalion was killed.

This had to shock Zhou Yu, although he wanted to kill Pan Zhang, he never denied Pan Zhang's ability, and the soldiers brought out by Pan Zhang were very famous in the entire Jiangdong.

Such an army was also completely wiped out by Liu Feng's army. How strong is Liu Feng's army? Or, just how strong is this broken knife.

Zhou Yu stretched out his hand and took the remnant knife that Pan Zhang was holding in his hand.

The hand is very light, the knife is bizarre, the blade is thin, narrow, and broken. According to Pan Zhang, this knife should be a blunt knife with serious defects, but it was this knife that buried him with a thousand elite soldiers.

This knife Pan Zhang has not done any treatment, and at this moment the blade is still stained with blood, and it is exuding a burst of bloody smell.

Zhou Yu was very calm, and there was nothing wrong with it because of the smell of blood.

"It's a blunt knife, and it's of little use. And it should be a blunt knife that cannot be forged, and if the method is not correct, the knife should break in the process of forging. Liu Feng must have used some special techniques to forge this knife. But the flaws are still huge. "Zhou Yu is in charge of the soldiers, and he knows a little bit about the iron, and he has seen something.

"This knife can be a reason for your failure, but it is definitely not something to escape responsibility. Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped, and there will be twenty battles. After finishing speaking, Zhou Yu said to Pan Zhang in a cold voice.

"This, General, General Pan was physically injured, and fighting for another twenty is no different from killing." Zhu Zhi was originally overjoyed, but when he heard the battle of twenty, he couldn't help but plead.

"Thank you General Zhu for interceding, but the general is right, if you do something wrong, you should be punished, these twenty military sticks can't survive is fate, and if you can get through, I won't resent the general." But if the last general can survive, only ask the general to let the last general have the opportunity to lead the troops into battle when the last general can move, and be ashamed. Pan Zhang first bowed to Zhu Zhi, and then said to Zhou Yu.

He almost had a monstrous grudge in his heart, just because he lost in weapons for a while, he lost to Liu Feng, and he refused to accept it ten thousand. He said that he would cut off Liu Feng's head and make it into a wine glass. Drinking.

"Okay, if you can survive, I'll divide the battalion of 500 soldiers and horses to take charge of you." Zhou Yu shouted hello, and then said with an iron face: "Take it down, twenty military sticks, not one stick less." ”

"No." Pan Zhang's pro-soldiers immediately responded and put Pan Zhang out, but this time Pan Zhang did not resist and let the pro-soldiers drive.

Pan Zhang can survive in the end, or he can't survive. It doesn't matter if Zhou Yu is now, in the army, he will always maintain an iron-faced and selfless state.

Because Zhou Yu is the kind of person who firmly believes that only when there is a clear reward and punishment in the army, the soldiers will serve their lives.

"General, what are we going to do now?" Zhu Zhi was a little worried about Pan Zhang's situation, but this time was indeed not the time to care about Pan Zhang, the top priority was to study countermeasures was the right way.

"The loss of 1,500 soldiers and horses for no reason, and the remaining elite soldiers are less than 8,000. The first move has been lost, and it is already delusional to take all Jiangxia. Zhou Yu's gaze was still sharp.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Zhi's heart moved, but he still asked.

"According to the plan, swallow Wuchang. Wait for the next year to raise troops to crusade against Liu Feng. Zhou Yu snorted coldly and said.

"No." Zhu Zhi responded.

Since the military had been decided, Zhu Zhi saw that Zhou Yu was not in a good mood, so he led a group of generals down.

After Zhu Zhi and the others left, only Zhou Yu was left in the big tent.

"If you can train one elite soldier, you can train ten elite soldiers. If you can forge a blunt knife, you can also forge a sharp blade. This person must not be left behind, and cannot be tolerated. Zhou Yu slowly put the Chu Dao, which had broken his hand into two sections, on the desk and muttered. The gaze is clear.

In today's troubled times, for Zhou Yu, it is a good thing to have such a variable as Liu Feng.

At the east gate of Wuchang City, Liu Feng stood on the city wall, silently watching Chen Daling's divine arm and breaking the second battalion out of the city.

In the battle with Pan Zhang, none of the soldiers of the Divine Arm Battalion were lost. However, the soldiers of the broken army camp suffered a lot of losses, more than 100 people were killed in the battle, and more than 100 people were wounded. There are only 500 people left who can fight.

It seems that there is a lot of loss, but under the brilliant record of defeating Pan Zhang, this loss is within the acceptable range. What is even more gratifying is that this army, which was originally clearly distinguished between veterans and recruits, has shown signs of gradual integration under the baptism of battle.

Although the number of people decreased, the combat effectiveness did not decrease as the army merged. Liu Feng believed that after the end of this war, the soldiers who broke the barracks would restore their glory during the first battle of Xiakou.

"It's best to have a chance, if you don't have a chance, come back with my army, don't let me down." Looking at the soldiers who were gradually moving away, Liu Feng told Chen Da again in his heart.

"My lord, the banquet has been prepared, and you are missing." In the sound of footsteps, Kou Shui came to Liu Feng's side and said softly.

Pulling out the enemy's vanguard can not only dampen the enemy's morale and demoralize. It can also improve the morale of his own side, and in the current situation of the army pressing, Liu Feng has no reason not to take the opportunity to inform the three armies.

Not only that, but also a banquet to celebrate.

Liu Feng let out a sigh of relief when he heard this, put away the worry on his face, and showed a smile. He turned his head and smiled, "I'll be there later." ”

"No." Kou Shui heard the words and answered loudly, turned around and walked first. Liu Feng stopped for a moment and walked towards the city.

On this night, the news that Liu Feng had pulled out Zhou Yu's vanguard quickly spread, and Liu Feng ordered a banquet to invite the generals in the army, and the whole army celebrated.

On this night, except for Huang Zhong and several other officers, he had to stay awake. All the generals in the army, including Liu Feng, drank some wine.

The non-commissioned officers of the whole army were also stimulated by this news, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted.

Most of Liu Feng's army were Jiangxia people, Huang Zu's army. In repeated wars, the Jiangxia army did not defeat the Jiangdong army. This time they finally straightened their backs.

Holding the blade, he stared at Zhou Yu and waited.
