Chapter 113: Falling Eagle Valley
"It's Han Xuan's letter again?" Liu Pan and Chen Qin both frowned.
Liu Pan opened it and handed it to Chen Qin, and after Chen Qin finished reading it, Liu Pan asked, "Is it credible?" ”
Han Xuan explained in the letter why he did not answer, and proposed a new strategy to defeat Liu Zhang, Chen Qin groaned for a while: "The letter will be suspicious, and it must be confirmed with General Huang Lao before a conclusion can be drawn." ”
Liu Pan and Chen Qin came to Huang Zhong's bedside, Huang Zhong read the letter, Chen Qin asked Huang Zhong: "Old general, this letter says that most of Liu Zhang's soldiers were poisoned, and Liu Zhang has a total of 8,000 soldiers. ”
Huang Zhong carefully recalled the battle situation that night, first the city gate was attacked, and he didn't know the truth at all, and the second time he met Zhang Ren, Zhang Ren didn't chase him out, now that he thinks about it, it must be a bluff, the third attack, surrounded on three sides, and no more than 4,000 people, but the Jingzhou soldiers are scattered and can only be slaughtered.
Huang Zhong's old face suddenly turned red, and he beat the edge of the bed with his hand and shouted wildly: "Shame, shame, shame for the old man's life, the old man led 5,000 vanguard elite soldiers, but was wiped out by less than 4,000 people, shame." ”
Huang Zhong beat his chest and paused, the original wound overflowed blood again, Liu Pan and Chen Qin hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, glanced at each other, and already felt that Han Xuan's words were very credible, the Hanshou defenders were indeed as Han Xuan said, most of them were poisoned, but the Yizhou strategist Fa Zheng took the risk of gathering the defenders in one place, because most of the soldiers were poisoned and Zhang Ren led the troops to attack the camp and the defense was tight, and it happened that Huang Zhong sneak attacked, so he was lucky to succeed.
But Chen Qin was still not very relieved, calmed Huang Zhong's emotions, and confirmed: "Old general, since you have raised the fire as a signal, is the code in the city the same as what Han Xuan agreed?" ”
Listening to Chen Qin's words, Huang Zhong was even more remorseful, and sighed: "The veteran is incompetent, at that time, I only saw the city gate open, so I didn't think much about it, and went directly into the city. ”
"The old general must not blame himself." Chen Qin persuaded Huang Zhong and said to Liu Pan: "Big brother, it seems that it is indeed the defenders in the city who think that Huang Zhong is responding to the poisoning of the people by Hanshou, so it ......."
Liu Pan and Chen Qin both firmly believe that Han Xuan will not rebel, and the two of them show joy at the same time, if Han Xuan's explanation can be believed, then the strategy behind is naturally credible.
10,000 people attacked Hanshou, which was guarded by thousands of defenders, was by no means something that could be captured in a short time, not to mention that there was not much grain and grass in the Jingzhou army, and the grain road had been cut off, and it was not a long-term thing, Liu Pan and Chen Qin decided to go to Luoying Valley to see, as long as the grain and grass of the Sichuan army were robbed, Hanshou was a lonely city, and it would be broken.
Liu Pan and Chen Qin led the army to Luoying Valley, and observed from a distance, only to see some woodcutters at the mouth of the valley, but those woodcutters were all in good health, young in appearance, and always wandered near the mouth of the valley, Chen Qin immediately concluded that it was the guard post of the Sichuan army's grain cave.
"According to soldiers who are familiar with the terrain here, this Luoying Valley is like a high mountain on both sides, a canyon in the middle, and only one ox can pass through in some places, and the terrain is dangerous to hide, which is really a good place to hide grain, but it is also difficult to capture." Chen Qin said to Liu Pan.
Liu Pan groaned: "So we must quickly attack the mountain pass, otherwise even if there are 100 people guarding it, we can block our army, and wait until Liu Zhang comes to help, Liu Du." ”
"The end will be."
"Immediately lead five hundred soldiers, touch the mountain, solve the woodcutter in the mountain pass as quickly as possible, and capture the mountain pass."
"Yes."
Liu Du led his soldiers up the ditch along the dark river until it was less than a white meter from the mountain pass, swarmed out, rushed to kill those woodcutters, those woodcutters were really disguised, threw firewood on their bodies, drew out the white pole gun from it, and fought and retreated, straight to the Falling Eagle Valley.
"Kill." Liu Pan shouted, the Jingzhou soldiers quickly pressed up, only to see dozens of Sichuan soldiers disguised as woodcutters running in embarrassment, Jingzhou soldiers quickly pursued, just when most of the Jingzhou soldiers entered the valley, suddenly a Biao soldiers and horses in the rear killed, it was the Yizhou general Gao Pei, the Jingzhou soldiers who broke through the mountain pass, led more than 1,000 people to block the valley mouth.
At the same time, the top of the mountain on both sides of the mountain gushed out dense brute soldiers, stretched the bow and strings, the hundreds of woodcutters in the valley walked to the bottom of the cliff, there are dozens of baskets under the cliff, the woodcutter entered the hanging basket, was pulled up to the top of the mountain in front of the Jingzhou soldiers, the Jingzhou soldiers were in doubt, a woman in red will appear on the top of the mountain surrounded by the barbarians, the red clothes are flying, and the sword stands.
A barbarian beside him stepped out and shouted: "Listen to the Jingzhou soldiers below, the young lord of my family has been waiting for you here for several days, and those who know each other will be captured, otherwise, they will be killed by random arrows." ”
As early as when Liu Zhang entered Hanshou, he left a group of soldiers and horses outside, and deliberately told Han Xuan that all the soldiers and horses were in Hanshou, so that Liu Pan and Chen Qin had preconceived ideas, and after knowing that Huang Zhong was defeated by 4,000 soldiers and horses, they took it for granted that the other soldiers were indeed poisoned.
"Ho, ho, ho."
The barbarian soldiers on the mountain and the Dongzhou soldiers led by Gao Pei raised their guns and shouted, and the sound reverberated in the canyon, and the Jingzhou soldiers were all frightened.
Liu Pan was furious, thinking that he was also brave and strategic, but he didn't expect to be like Han Xuan and Huang Zhong, he fell into such a big trap, pulled out his long sword, looked up to the sky and shouted: "Fight to the death, soldiers, follow me out of the valley." ”
"Kill."
Jingzhou soldiers rushed to the mouth of the valley, Gao Pei lined up to meet the enemy, Xiao Furong raised the red tassel gun in his hand, the mountains on both sides fired arrows together, countless mountain rocks and fireballs rolled down, and the Jingzhou soldiers had nowhere to avoid in the narrow valley, with a dead and wounded, and the sound of wailing filled the valley.
The mountains and rocks that were prepared for several days, thousands of them, poured into the valley like a landslide, almost all the Jingzhou soldiers were buried alive, and Chen Qin was hit in the head in front of Liu Pan's eyes, and his brain was shattered.
"Second brother, second brother."
Liu Pan's eyes were cracked, and he rushed out of the valley desperately, Gao Pei waved his hand, and a rain of arrows came, Liu Pan swung his sword to kill more than ten arrows, and was finally shot in the thigh by an arrow, half kneeling on the ground.
Liu Pan used his sword and pestle to the ground, watching the soldiers who had followed him for several years fall in front of him, and his grief was inexplicable.
"Lord, Liu Pan is sorry for you, the 50,000 army has destroyed my hands, the whole land of Jingnan is about to fall into the hands of the tyrant Liu Zhang, the child is sorry for you, sorry for you, 8,000 troops destroyed my 50,000 elites, and I Liu Pan is in vain as the commander of an army, hateful, hateful, shameful."
Liu Pan looked up to the sky and shouted, his voice entered the sky, he swung his sword vigorously, and drew his sword to kill himself.
Nearly 10,000 Jingzhou troops were buried alive in the valley, the eagles flew over the mountain, the sad sky roared, Xiao Furong led the army down the mountain, glanced at the bleak valley, Gao Pei asked: "Madam, is it buried for the Jingzhou army?" ”
Xiao Furong sighed: "No need, we still have something to do, let's go back and listen to the adults." ”
Xiao Furong joined forces with the Hanshou defenders and jointly captured Liu Pan's camp, and Huang Zhong fought with his wounds, and was finally seriously wounded and captured.
