In the early morning of this day, the defenders who had been patrolling the head of Panyu City all night were exhausted, and were ready to return to the camp to rest as usual, most of these soldiers were militia soldiers of Nanhai County, who had just come to Panyu City, and were sent to do the drudgery of patrolling the night.

Suddenly, there was a piercing alarm bell in the highest observation tower at the head of the city, which was an alarm of the arrival of enemy troops, and the thousands of defenders on the head of the city suddenly became in chaos, and they rushed to the north battlements, but the defenders only ran out of dozens of steps and found that something was wrong, and the alarm turned out to be from the south of the city head of the observation tower.

The defenders turned around again and rushed to the head of the southern city, although they were all very suspicious in their hearts, the south was the sea, how could the enemy come from the south, but the soldiers standing on the head of the southern city were no longer puzzled, and everyone's faces became very stern, and they looked at the sea blankly.

I saw a huge fleet appear on the sea in the distance, the smallest is also a thousand stone warships, there are nearly a thousand ships, the sails cover the sky and the sun, and they are heading towards Panyu City.

But the shock of the soldiers was only a short time, and after a while, the city fell into chaos again, some soldiers ran to the city to the barracks, some soldiers dropped their weapons and ran directly home, the city lord Liu Feng shouted and scolded, and killed several people in a row, only to stop the chaos of the militia soldiers.

Liu Feng was also extremely nervous in his heart, and urgently sent someone to report to his father Liu Bei, and at the same time ordered the city gate that had just been opened to be closed immediately, and the drawbridge was pulled up, at this time the residents in the city were also affected by the soldiers defending the city, thinking that the Han army had attacked the city, and the city gate began to be chaotic first, crying dad and calling mother, a chaos, the women who bought vegetables on the street ran to their homes, and the shop pù that had just opened the door and was ready to open was also frightened to close again, and soon, every household in the city was closed, and the entire Panyu city was shrouded in an inexplicable panic.

At this time, Liu Bei also came to Nancheng surrounded by dozens of guards, Nancheng was already covered with thousands of soldiers, everyone's eyes were full of shock, Liu Feng stepped forward and reported in a low voice, "Father, it should be the Han army that has been killed." ”

Liu Bei didn't hear him speak, his eyes were dull and he looked at the warship that covered the sky and the sun in the distance, his eyes were full of despair, the face of Ma Tan next to him was pale, his heart was full of fear and shame, he knew that he had made a big mistake.

At this time, the warship was moored outside the mouth of the Dongjiang River, waiting for the warships behind to converge, and for a long time, Liu Bei let out a long sigh, "Heaven will kill me!" ”

His eyes were dark, and he fainted at the head of the city, and the guards were so frightened that they supported him one after another, and Liu Feng shouted: "Father! Father! ”

Liu Bei woke up in the middle of the night, and couldn't help crying loudly, "I regret not listening to the words of the military advisor, so I have today's disaster!" ”

Huang Quan, the servant next to him, said hurriedly: "The lord calm down first, don't affect the morale of the army." ”

Liu Bei came to his senses, quickly wiped away his tears, and asked the officials on the left and right: "What should we do now?" ”

Wang Tired, Zuo Shizhong, said: "Weichen Jian yì first dispatched the navy, tried to intercept the enemy's warships, did not let them enter the Dongjiang River, and then quickly sent people to order General Guan and General Zhang to return to help." ”

The Jiaozhou army has also established a naval army, with hundreds of warships of all sizes, originally the commander of the general Chen Zhi, and now Chen Zhi led the reinforcements to Cangwu County, and the naval army was temporarily commanded by the deputy general Mi Fang, Liu Bei nodded, and looked at the general Mi Fang, "General Mi is willing to share my worries?" ”

Mi Fang was also afraid in his heart, but at this time he had to bite the bullet and say: "The last general is willing to solve problems for the lord." ”

Mi Fang walked quickly down the city to the military camp, and Liu Bei sent people to quickly inform Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to rush back, and at the same time he ordered Liu Feng to send someone to inform the military division to come back.

After arranging an emergency response, Liu Bei returned to the Yue Palace with the support of the guards, Liu Bei was also experienced in a hundred battles, so he would not be intimidated by the mighty Han army, he was desperate in his heart.

Liu Bei is very clear about the situation in the city, although the defenders have 9,000 people, but 6,000 are militia soldiers with very low combat effectiveness, half of them have no armor, and there are only 3,000 formal soldiers, and the militia groups from all over the country are on the way to Panyu, whether they can catch up is still a problem, more importantly, the size of the Han army is tens of thousands of people, how can they hold Panyu City?

Now he can only hold out a glimmer of hope, maybe the Han army will implement the siege tactics and send reinforcements, and there is no rush to attack the city, and the army of Yun Chang and Yide can rush back in time.

Liu Bei was so anxious that he walked back and forth in the lobby to the ants on the hot pot, stopping from time to time to pray to the heavens, begging the heavens to help him again

The main force of the Han army arrived as scheduled, Gan Ning was the main general, Lu Xun was Sima, the two led 800 warships from Huiji County, took advantage of the north wind to go south, the fleet sailed along the coast, due to the unfamiliar route, the fleet walked for more than a month, and finally arrived at Lingdingyang.

At this time, the 800 warships of the Han army have been assembled, and on a 3,000-stone building ship led by them, Gan Ning and Lu Xun looked at Panyu City a few miles away, and they traveled hard all the way, and now they finally arrived at the destination, both of them were very emotional in their hearts, Gan Ning asked with a smile: "Do we want to take Panyu City in one go?" ”

Lu Xun served as Sima, responsible for the fleet's expedition to the south, and at the same time to establish the route, on the other hand, he was actually also the military advisor of the southern expedition, Liu Jing had an order, Gan Ning was in charge of the army, but the offensive strategy was in charge of Lu Xun.

Lu Xun smiled and said: "Don't be too anxious, let's see Liu Bei's reaction first, and send an army north to prevent Liu Bei from abandoning the city and fleeing." ”

A sentence reminded Gan Ning, and he immediately turned back to the deputy general Shen Mi and said, "You can lead 5,000 troops ashore to block the road to the north and prevent Liu Bei from abandoning the city and escaping!" ”

"Obey!" Shen Mi saluted and turned away.

At this time, a soldier stepped forward to report: "General Qiyu, there is an army out of Nancheng to the dock, about 3,000 people. ”

Gan Ning was stunned, not understanding what the other party meant, he looked at Lu Xun, Lu Xun smiled faintly and said: "You can guess, this should be the Jiaozhou army preparing to intercept us from the waterway, I heard that they also have hundreds of warships, it is estimated that they want to fight with us!" ”

Gan Ning smiled contemptuously, "I can't do it, do three thousand people want to come to the mantis arm to shake the car?" ”

Gan Ning immediately ordered: "Beat the drum and attack!" ”

'Boom! Boom! Boom! The huge offensive drum sounded, and five hundred Han warships lined up in three columns and slowly sailed towards the mouth of the Dongjiang River, preparing to enter the Dongjiang River.

And the Jiaozhou army because of the small number of troops, can only drive a hundred warships to intercept, most of them are about 100 stone boats, the largest warship is only 500 stones, seeing the mighty Han army warships in front of them, Mi Fang's eyes showed fear, waved his knife and shouted: "Rush up, fight to the death with the enemy!" ”

Liu Bei locked himself in the quiet room, quietly waiting for the news from the outside, he also had the intention of escaping at first, but this idea was quickly dispelled, he knew that he actually had nowhere to go, even the overwhelming fleet appeared on the sea, where else could he escape?

He knew that the general trend of Jiaozhou had gone, not to mention that they were far from being the opponent of the Han army, and more importantly, Jiangdong had been destroyed, and the unification of the south had become unstoppable, what should he do under the general trend? Liu Bei himself didn't know.

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the quiet room, followed by a report from the guards, "Uncle Qiqi, the general situation is not good, Mi Fang is no match for the Han army, and he has already surrendered with a white flag." ”

Liu Bei only felt a pain in his heart, a mouthful of blood spurted out, he shook his body a few times, held on to the wall, and barely fell, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "I know!" ”

Even Mi Fang, who had followed him for many years, surrendered, and he was really going to die Liu Bei!

"Father!"

Ten-year-old son Liu Chan appeared at the door, he saw blood on the ground, so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward to support his father, and couldn't help crying: "Father, how are you?" ”

Liu Bei smiled, "I'm fine, I'm just panicking, you help Daddy go for a walk in the garden!" ”

Liu Chan carefully supported his father and slowly walked towards the garden, "Father, I heard that the Han army has been killed in the city, are we going to finish." ”

Liu Chan asked with a sad voice.

Liu Bei looked at his son fiercely, "Are you afraid of death?" ”

"The child doesn't know?"

"You tell me the truth, are you afraid of death?" Liu Bei's tone became even more stern.

Liu Chan finally cried, "The child doesn't want to die!" ”

His son's cry made Liu Bei's heart soften again, yes! He was only ten years old, why did he criticize him so hard? He sighed and said: "Actually, no one wants to die, there is no way to die, you also had a few brothers and sisters before, they all died in the chaos, I know they don't want to die either, but it's a pity that Daddy can't keep them, but Daddy will definitely keep you, and won't let you be the same as your former brothers and sisters." ”

"Daddy, the child knows it's wrong."

Liu Bei stroked his son's brain lovingly, and said with a smile: "Don't say these stupid things, help your father go to Fengyi Pavilion to sit." ”

With Mi Fang leading the Jiaozhou Navy to surrender to the Han army, the already insufficient defenders were even more overstretched, and there were only 6,000 soldiers left in the city, all of whom were militia soldiers, and the equipment was insufficient, half of the people had no armor, and could only hold all kinds of strange weapons, wooden sticks, hoes, firewood knives, kitchen knives, etc., and there was no armor, so they could only wear short clothes and cloth shoes.

What's even worse is that Panyu City has never considered being besieged, there is no defense preparation, there is no large-scale defensive weapons, trebuchets, stone cannons and other weapons are all invisible, and there is no experienced general to defend the city, only Liu Feng led 5,000 people to defend the city.

However, Panyu City is still a strong city, the city is tall and strong, the moat is connected with the Dongjiang River, the water depth is two zhang, the width is more than 30 zhang, for the general attacking army, such a wide moat is indeed a big problem.

It's a pity that Xiao He defeated Xiao He, the moat with a width of more than 30 zhang gave the Han army warships the greatest convenience, hundreds of Han warships sailed into the moat from the Dongjiang River, and surrounded the city to show off their might, especially more than a dozen 3,000 stone building ships were higher than the city wall, and the soldiers on the warship condescended to the city head to shoot arrows, which frightened the defenders to flee one after another.

Liu Feng stood in the city tower, looking at the huge Han warship, his heart was full of despair, he couldn't hold Panyu City at all, no one could hold it.
