The Han army advanced towards Fancheng step by step, and Liu Beijun's nervous palms and foreheads on the city were covered with beads of sweat.

Not only Liu Beijun's soldiers were nervous, but even Liu Bei was not much better.

Looking at the Han army advancing outside the city, Zhuge Liang's face suddenly showed a solemnity, and he ordered the soldiers behind him: "Launch the rocket, I want to see what their intentions are!" ”

"What's wrong?" Zhuge Liang suddenly proposed to let the soldiers launch rockets, Liu Bei looked at him with a stunned face and asked.

"The enemy army did not have archers to follow, but the infantry moved forward, which is not in line with the common sense of siege!" Pointing at the Han army advancing towards Fancheng with a feather fan, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei: "They must not be trying to climb the city wall this time, maybe they have other intentions!" ”

Zhuge Liang said that the Han army probably had other intentions, not to attack the city wall, but Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If they don't attack the city wall and send troops here, won't they want the soldiers to die?" ”

"That's the weird part!" His brows gradually locked, and Zhuge Liang's face showed a slight entanglement.

Suddenly, his eyes opened suddenly, and he shouted again to the soldiers behind him: "Pass the order, release the arrows immediately, don't let the enemy get close to the city wall!" ”

Zhuge Liang's reaction made Liu Bei's heart suddenly startled.

However, he didn't speak, just watched the soldiers convey Zhuge Liang's order to the soldiers on the city wall.

The order was quickly issued to all Liu Beijun at the head of the city, and the soldiers who had already opened their longbows set their arrows on fire one after another, and shot a puff of feathered arrows at the Han army that was advancing towards the city wall.

The tip lit a flame, and the arrows flew in mid-air, like a rain curtain of flames, towards the Han army.

The Han army advancing towards the city wall was still a short distance away from the city wall, and although the range of the longbow could be reached, it was impossible to effectively kill them.

The rain of arrows burning with flames covered the Han army under the shield wall, and pieces of feather arrows fell on the shield, making a "crackling" sound, only a few Han soldiers with bad luck were shot by the arrows that penetrated the shield wall and fell, and the rest of the Han army still maintained a neat queue and advanced forward.

The rocket almost lit up the night sky, and looking at the Han army from a distance, Zhuge Liang's face became more and more ugly.

"Among the enemy army, there are talents for strategizing!" Although the distance was very far, Zhuge Liang had already seen what the Han army seemed to be holding in his arms, and he said to Liu Bei on the side: "Uncle Huang should order the soldiers to prepare clear water in advance, and when the fire starts under the city, he will pour the clear water on the city." ”

"What's wrong?" Seeing the entanglement on Zhuge Liang's face, Liu Bei was even more uneasy in his heart, and asked him again.

With his brows furrowed, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei: "The enemy army is here to pile up dead wood, and when there are enough dead wood and grass blades, they can light a fire and burn this city wall into a wall of fire. ”

"What can I do?" Zhuge Liang saw through Pang Tong's strategy, Liu Bei was taken aback, and hurriedly asked him: "If this is the case, we will remove the city wall, and the Han army can take advantage of the situation to attack the city." If I don't wait, I'll be burned to death!" ”

"Prepare plenty of water, and if the enemy army really does, pour it on the city, and although there will be water vapor, it will not bake the soldiers to death!" With entanglement on his face, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei: "The Han army attacking the city this time is afraid that it will be difficult to repel it, and I must be more careful in the future!" ”

From the look on Zhuge Liang's face and the tone of his voice, Liu Bei also felt that this Han army's siege of the city was very different from the battles he had experienced in the past, and he was even more worried in his heart.

"Send an order to go down, and carry more water from the city to prepare it at the head of the city!" Zhuge Liang broke the intention of the Han army, and Liu Bei did not dare to delay, and hurriedly issued an order to the soldiers behind him.

The soldiers answered, turned around and ran under the city walls.

The soldiers of Liu Beijun on the city wall shot a puff of feather arrows towards the Han army outside the city.

The Han army was getting closer and closer, and the sound of feather arrows landing on the shield was getting louder and louder.

Although the shield wall is tight, the arrows are as fine as rain.

Most of the flaming arrows fell on the shield held by the Han army, and a few arrows drilled through the gap between the shield and the shield and hit the Han army behind the shield.

Pieces of Han troops fell in the arrows shot by Liu Beijun.

The Han army, which did not fall, immediately gathered together with a shield to fill the gap exposed by the fallen Han army.

The Han army array was getting closer and closer to the city wall, and for fear of igniting the dead wood and fallen leaves at the foot of the city wall, Liu Beijun at the head of the city abandoned the rocket, set up arrows directly on the bowstring, and shot at the Han army.

The sound of "whooshing" arrows breaking through the wind is endless, and the "snapping" sound of arrows hitting the shield is becoming more and more crisp.

The Han army, holding shields, advanced under the city wall, and the people in front threw the firewood sandwiched in their armpits onto the firewood that had been piled up, and the people behind immediately handed them the firewood.

Piles of firewood were thrown at the foot of the city wall, and one by one the Han troops fell down in the arrows of Liu Beijun at the head of the city.

But they did not retreat, and after the people behind handed over the firewood, some of them would also pick up the firewood discarded by their fallen companions and send it to the Han army in front.

The pyre grew higher and higher, and finally the Han army threw all the firewood at the foot of the city wall.

After throwing the firewood, the Han army began to retreat.

Liu Beijun on the city wall saw them retreating, and his courage was also much stronger, he opened his longbow and kept firing feather arrows at them.

When advancing, the pace of the Han army was neat, and the array was also very tight.

The retreating Han army, although it still maintained a neat array, its movements were not as swift as when they advanced.

Countless arrows rained down on them, and many Han soldiers were shot by arrows and fell on the wilderness outside Fancheng.

When the Han army advanced towards Fancheng, Zhang Yun, who got the news, ran outside the barracks accompanied by several lieutenant generals and looked at Fancheng in the distance.

At first, he saw countless feathered arrows lit from the city wall, and thought that the Han army had launched an attack.

But later, he didn't hear the shouts of the Han army, and he became more and more suspicious in his heart.

Looking at the Han army array from afar, Zhang Yun's brows furrowed when he saw the Han army begin to retreat.

"General, the imperial army seems to have retreated." A deputy general standing behind him, when he saw the Han army retreating, he was also full of wonder and said: "They didn't attack the city, but they just advanced to the city wall in a large formation, and they didn't know what they wanted." ”

"The imperial army has always been invincible in the south and the north, and they must have intentions if they are like this!" Looking at the Han army array that was slowly retreating, Zhang Yun frowned, first responded to the deputy general's sentence, and then muttered: "It's just that they sent troops to advance under the city wall, and they didn't attack the city, which is really unclear!" ”

In the retreating Han army, from time to time someone would fall to the ground with an arrow.

Some of the wounded Han soldiers were dragged back to the big formation by their companions by the collars at the back of their necks, and the Han soldiers who were shot on the spot lay quietly on the ground, bearing the feathered arrows flying down from the city wall.

Transporting firewood to the foot of the city walls, the losses suffered by the Han army were not small.

Dozens of Han soldiers remained outside Fancheng City permanently, and more than 100 Han soldiers were wounded by arrows and were dragged by their companions to retreat to the main formation.

Finally, the array of the Han army left the range of Liu Beijun's arrows at the head of the city.

The Han army, which was out of the range of the enemy's arrows, quickly dispersed the formation, dragged the wounded companion Han army, and then carried the wounded on their backs and ran quickly towards the large array.

In front of the big array, Lu Bu and Pang Tong stood side by side.

Looking at the soldiers of the Han army who were running towards the big array, Lu Bu said to Pang Tong: "Prime Minister, this time to transport firewood, our army can be said to have suffered heavy casualties!" ”

"Firewood is to be delivered every day, and tonight's delivery is not enough to burn the city wall red!" Also looking at the Han army running towards the big array, Pang Tong said: "Stay until tomorrow, send people to collect the corpses of the dead soldiers!" ”

Pang Tong's words were very indifferent, and Lu Bu didn't say anything more, just looked at the Han soldiers who were gradually approaching, and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Order the wounded doctors, and treat the wounded soldiers immediately!" ”

"No!" The soldiers responded with their fists clenched and turned to leave.

Only then did Lu Bu ask Pang Tong: "Prime Minister, our army is going back and forth like this, and in more than ten days, I am afraid that there will be a lot of casualties!" Before the siege of the city, the soldiers had to go forward to bear the enemy's arrows, if your Majesty knew what to do? ”

Pang Tong and Lu Bu both knew that Liu Wei was extremely caring for the soldiers of the Han army, and whenever he attacked the city, he would definitely think of a way to avoid forcibly landing the city, so he would order an attack on the city.

In Liaodong to fight with the enemy, Pang Tong always adhered to this concept, so the Han army did not suffer many casualties in the conquest of Liaodong.

Turning his head to look at Lu Bu, Pang Tong said to him: "The general doesn't have to worry, Fancheng City is high and deep, and it will be difficult for our army to attack it, and it will be difficult to climb to the top of the city!" In such a situation, His Majesty also knows! But where there is a fight, there will definitely be a loss, think of these losses, Your Majesty should be able to understand! ”

"If the general thinks that our army has suffered too many casualties, so he will give the credit to Zhang Yun, how about it?" From Lu Bu's face, he still saw the entanglement, and Pang Tong tilted his head and asked him.

wanted to give the credit to Zhang Yun, but Lu Bu refused in his heart.

Looking at each other with Pang Tong, he didn't say anything, but his face showed an entanglement.

"It's just a credit, and it's okay to let Yu Zhang Yun!" Smiling slightly, Pang Tong said to Lu Bu: "At that time, the general only needs to break through Fancheng, and the great merit is still on the general!" ”

Staring at Pang Tong's eyes, Lu Bu seemed to want to see something from them.

But in the end, he still didn't see anything, so he had to nod his head, and said helplessly: "But this matter depends on the prime minister, and the general will follow the prime minister's orders!" ”

"Go to the Jingzhou army camp and inform General Zhang Yun that he is going to discuss military affairs with him!" Lu Bu was relieved, and Pang Tong immediately gave an order to one of the personal soldiers behind him.
