Outside Chaisang City, the soldiers and horses of Pan Zhang's battalion were quickly assembled. Among them, there are 1,000 elite soldiers and 500 auxiliary soldiers.

The elite soldiers opened the way in front, and the auxiliary soldiers escorted grain and grass in the rear.

The armor on his body was shining with golden light, Pan Zhang was fully equipped, sat on his horse and set off with the army, and glanced around at the army under his command, Pan Zhang's eyes were full of confidence.

The source of his self-confidence is these troops.

Liu Feng's army was almost all elite soldiers, such as Huang Zhong's 5,000 men, without a single auxiliary. But in general, the army has auxiliaries, more or less.

The auxiliaries were responsible for escorting grain and burying pots to make food. In an expedition, auxiliaries are indispensable.

But Pan Zhang's auxiliaries are not ordinary, these people can only be auxiliaries in the battalion, that is, second-class soldiers. But Pan Zhang is confident that under the accounts of other generals, these auxiliaries are elite soldiers.

Pick up a weapon to kill like a weapon, and the combat effectiveness is not weak.

The auxiliaries are like this, let alone the elite soldiers. Pan Zhang withdrew his gaze from the auxiliaries and looked at his elite soldiers.

The look of satisfaction in his eyes flashed.

Pan Zhang believes that the strength of an army depends on its momentum. Depends on the spirit. He believes that no matter how strong a soldier is and trains hard, he will have a limit, the limit of being a human being.

When the armies of both sides train their own soldiers and killing skills to the limit. When fighting again, the strength should be half a catty, and the decision can only be won or lost by momentum and spirit.

Overwhelming others in momentum, and extremely tenacious in spirit.

And Pan Zhang was once praised by Sun Quan for his strong ability to lead troops, because his battalion only had 1,000 soldiers and horses, but when he acted, he often looked like 10,000 people in terms of momentum.

Therefore, Pan Zhang is a fierce general who can often win battles and can fight more with fewer enemies. Pan Zhang is often proud of this.

Although when he received Zhou Yu's order just now, Pan Zhang was indeed very serious and wanted to be cautious. But when he was in the middle of the army he was proud of, Pan Zhang's heart quietly changed.

In the process of Liu Feng's occupation of Jiangxia, not all Jiangxia soldiers became prisoners, many of them fled to Chaisang, and some were even generals under Huang Zu's tent.

From these people, Pan Zhang knew that Liu Feng had an elite army of about 200 people, and it was rumored that one was blocking ten.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yu made him cautious. But Pan Zhang, who is very confident at the moment, is a little unconvinced.

No matter how a soldier trains, there is a limit. Liu Feng's soldiers may be really strong, but when Pan Zhang thought that everyone used rice to raise his soldiers, Pan Zhang didn't believe that his soldiers would be much worse than Liu Feng's.

In terms of momentum, Pan Zhang is more confident. He is a thousand, but when he acts, he is often like ten thousand. Sun Quan praised him.

"The general told me to be cautious, but too cautious. This pioneer is too boring to do. If I can win a small victory, I can not only frustrate the morale of Jiangxia and improve my own morale, but also have a good time. After thinking about it, this thought couldn't help but pop up in Pan Zhang's heart, and it was out of control.

The general also said that Pang Tong was very bold and capable of doing great things. may persuade Liu Feng to pull out the vanguard of our army. Now that I'm a pioneer, why don't I just do it. Lure him in the bait?

Most of Liu Feng's army was to surrender Huang Zu, and it was just to defend the city. If it is sent out to fight, it will definitely cause chaos. In other words, even if Liu Feng sent an army to attack him, there would only be hundreds of elites in the legend. I have made up my mind for this work

The thought only turned twice, and Pan Zhang had already designed an opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

"Come on, don't send spies along the way. We just need to build bridges and pave the way. "As soon as the thought arises in my heart, it has already grown. Confident, Pan Zhang gave an order to the adjutant beside him.

Generally, the army will send spies to explore the way and listen to the enemy's movements. It's about improvisation. Pan Zhang did the opposite, of course, so that Liu Feng would have a chance to get close to him.

"General, isn't this too risky? The elite under Liu's tent is rumored to be invincible in the world. The adjutant followed Pan Zhang for a long time, of course he knew what he wanted to do. I couldn't help but gasp.

"Have you ever seen me lose a fight in which both sides have the same number of soldiers, or even in a fight where your own side has the advantage of numbers?" Pan Zhang was displeased in his heart and said.

"No." When the adjutant heard this, he immediately felt relieved, and couldn't help but promise. Pan Zhang really hasn't lost.

"Wait." After the adjutant made a promise, he just wanted to go down and give the order. was stopped by Pan Zhang.

"General." The adjutant turned his head to look at Pan Zhang suspiciously.

"First have my armor stripped off. Put on normal leather armor. Legend has it that Huang Zhong shot Huang Zu one hundred and eighty steps away, so he had to guard against it. Pan Zhang smiled. In addition to fighting bravely, he was also extremely cautious and thoughtful, and rarely overturned in the gutter.

"The general is wise." The adjutant's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the general was really thoughtful. sighed in his heart, and couldn't help patting his ass.

"Don't talk too much nonsense, hurry up and do things, and when you make a contribution, you will have a share." Pan Zhang scolded with a smile.

"No." The adjutant was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to slack off. Immediately answered the order and went down to do something.

"Liu Feng, I heard that you have three heads and six arms. I just don't believe it, I'm going to kill all your so-called elites. After the adjutant left, Pan Zhang looked up in the direction of Wuchang and sneered.

Liu Feng finally got the news of Zhou Yu's mobilization. Naturally, I also knew that the pioneer was Pan Zhang.

In Wuchang City, in a large mansion study.

Liu Feng received the news from the spies, and his heart was both solemn and relieved.

Zhou Yu still dispatched, the shadow of the famous tree. Just these two names alone put pressure on Liu Feng. The pioneer is Pan Zhang, which is the reason why Liu Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Pan Zhang, a person who fought very bravely, had a rough surname, and was so happy.

Immediately, Liu Feng took out the map from the side and put it on the table. I took a closer look.

From Chaisang to Wuchang, it only takes one or two days. Although some bridges and roads along the way were damaged by Huang Zu, it should be repaired quickly by the army. At the earliest, three days, or five days later, Pan Zhang will come to the city.

You must find an opportunity to start during this time.

"Tell Chen Da to lead the broken army, and the second battalion of the divine arm to go out of the city, and say that I will arrive later. Get me Huang Sima again. Liu Feng said loudly outside the study.

"No." There was a quick sound of promise outside the door, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps.

With Liu Feng's order, Chen Da's army quickly left the city and assembled outside the city. Soon after, Liu Feng rode a dark cloud horse and came to the outside of the city with Kou Shui and other personal soldiers.

Outside the city, Liu Feng stood on horseback, Chen Da and Kou Shui were all standing by his side. In front of him were the ninety-eight soldiers of the Divine Arm Battalion and the eight hundred soldiers of the Broken Army Battalion.

These people were all full of energy, and two hundred of them looked as cold as ice and murderous. These people are only wearing leather armor, but their figures are stronger than ordinary strong men. Two knives at his waist.

One of them is the traditional ring-headed big knife of the Han Dynasty, so one is naturally the Chu knife.

These 200 talents are the real killer weapons in Liu Feng's hands, and he has followed Liu Feng since Xinye, the most authentic soldier of the broken army camp. As long as these soldiers are there, Liu Feng believes that there is no army in the world that he can't break.

"I want to use you to let the people of the world know that whoever dares to invade my Jiangxia will die. Even if it is Zhou Yu, Pan Zhang is the same. Slowly glancing at the group of soldiers, Liu Feng let out a low, but powerful voice.

This slogan seems to be very conceited, but if you don't have such determination and mentality, how can you keep Jiangxia? Therefore, what Liu Feng said is justifiable,

"Kill." What answered Liu Feng was a murderous shout.

"Let's go." Feeling this almost invincible murderous aura, the corners of Liu Feng's mouth moved into a smile, and then he let out a loud shout and rode his horse forward.

The sand and dust were rolling behind him, and nearly a thousand soldiers rushed to the battlefield.

On the tall Wuchang city wall behind them, Huang Zhong and Zhang Gui, who were wearing armor and steel helmets, silently watched Liu Feng and the others kill to the east.

The two of them knew very well in their hearts that this pioneer dispute. is the key to war.

Both of them were more or less worried in their hearts, and the first to let go of their worries was Huang Zhong, an experienced veteran, who smiled slightly: "Although it is not easy to pull out Pan Zhang, it may not be impossible with the power of the lord." Speaking of this, Huang Zhong paused, turned around and said, "Leave the front to the lord, and we will continue to prepare for the defense of the city." ”

"No." When Zhang Gui heard this, he couldn't help but think of the things Liu Feng did in this year, relying on breaking the military camp to be almost invincible, fighting water thieves, killing Huang Zu, and passing all the way.

I couldn't help but feel relieved and promised.

Immediately, the entire Wuchang City continued to operate under the command of the two, and it did not stop because of Liu Feng's departure.

A day later, a small village three hundred miles east of Wuchang City.

This village is a village that has long been uninhabited, and Huang Zu guards Jiangxia, and is almost powerless to fight back in the face of the loss of growing stronger. Because of his father's enmity, Sun Quan repeatedly attacked Jiangxia and plundered the people.

There are quite a few such villages near Wuchang. It also happened to become the hiding place of Liu Feng and others.

In the middle of the village, in a large courtyard. Liu Feng was kneeling on the ground, wearing leather armor and a long sword at his waist, and behind him stood Kou Shui and Chen Da, both of whom were dressed in the same way as Liu Feng. In front of the three of them, there was a soldier on his knees. It was the head of the spy who went to find out the news. Liu Feng was listening to Pan Zhang's news at the moment.

Pan Zhang's army was building a pontoon bridge in a stream thirty miles away.

"Keep inquiring." Liu Feng was silent for a moment and waved his hand.

"Lord, something is wrong. Finding out the news should be a matter for both sides, and it stands to reason that the spies on both sides will have more or less conflicts, but when our spies probed the specific location of Pan Zhang's army, they didn't encounter a single fight, which was full of weirdness. Chen Da was very experienced in leading the troops, and he immediately realized the strangeness in it, and he couldn't help but say.

It's a trap.

Of course, Liu Feng also noticed the strangeness in it. This kind of trap should be to use the vanguard as a bait to lure the enemy to attack. And their own army wandered nearby, and when they received the news that the vanguard was engaged with the enemy, they immediately set out. Thus a decisive battle is conducted.

With the quality of Liu Feng's current army, it is naturally impossible to choose a decisive battle. However, when Liu Feng was in Wuchang, he did not receive a report from the spies that Zhou Yu's army was hiding near the vanguard.

But it is not excluded that Zhou Yu's hidden kung fu is very good.

"Send all the spies out and search all the spies within a radius of fifty miles to see if there is any hidden army of Zhou Yu's headquarters." Liu Feng thought about it for a while, now that he has the opportunity, there is no need to take risks. I couldn't help but order.

"No." Chen Da responded and immediately went down to do things.

An hour later, most of the spies turned back, and without exception, they found no sign of Zhou Yu's army hiding nearby.

After hearing the news, Liu Feng was almost certain that Pan Zhang was trying to lure him into attacking. So as to decide the winner.

It's really a great achievement. You may be confident in your soldiers, but I'm more confident in my army.

A sneer in Liu Feng's eyes flashed away.

"Go, ambush him." Liu Feng stretched out his fist and slammed the ground hard, and shouted with a bang.

"No." Chen Da responded to the order and immediately went out to give the order.

The soldiers, who were either fiddling their bows or wiping their blades, immediately put away their bows and arrows, and left the village in an orderly manner.

A moment later, Liu Feng also walked out of the village, and the group stayed here for a while, silently marching eastward.

On a road leading to Wuchang, Pan Zhang's army was slowly advancing. This army is very strange, but outsiders can't find it.

The first is the word "Pan", and the person wearing armor on the horse under the banner is not Pan Zhang.

Secondly, it is the auxiliaries of this army that have been exchanged with the elite soldiers.

It seems that the elite soldiers holding spears in front of them, the auxiliary soldiers in the middle who escort the grain and grass, and the elite soldiers who are in charge of the palace in the back.

But only the soldiers of this army knew that the first ones were the auxiliaries who were supposed to be responsible for escorting the grain, and the ones who were escorting the grain and grass in the middle and the rear of the palace were the elite soldiers.

Since he knew that Liu Feng was going to attack, Pan Zhang did not send spies to investigate, so it was naturally necessary to prepare very properly.

In general, when encountering ambushes, most of them are the soldiers in front of them who suffer first. It's a target. Compared with elite soldiers, auxiliary soldiers are much cheaper, so Pan Zhang thought of this way.

Here's a swap.

Pan Zhang, on the other hand, was wearing a very ordinary leather armor with a ring-headed knife hanging from his waist. Following behind a baggage truck, he looked around vigilantly.

Especially when the team slowly walked to a complex area.

On the left is a forest, and on the right are a few low dirt slopes. Whether it is a forest or a dirt slope, it is suitable for ambush.

Along the way, Pan Zhang had never seen a more suitable place for ambushes than this place.

"Order the soldiers to be on guard, but don't show nervousness, and move forward calmly." Pan Zhang said to a herald beside him without a trace.

"No." The herald nodded, and quickly gave Pan Zhang's order.

Without a moment's hesitation, the army marched forward.
