Liu Xiu ordered: "Attack!"

"Launch!"

Yuan Ye's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he waved his hand to order.

"Boom!"

Fifteen catapults operated, launching almost at the same time. Fifteen boulders weighing nearly forty pounds, all of which flew out under the throwing of the catapult, whistled through the air, and then landed on the heads of Jiangdong soldiers.

"Boom!"

The first boulder fell and hit the shield of the Koto soldiers.

"Click!"

The shield shattered under the powerful force.

Large boulders continued to fall, pressing down on the soldier's body. With a terrible scream, the Jiangdong soldiers in the center were smashed by the impact of the boulder, and they had no breath at all. The other soldiers with shields were also knocked out and were severely damaged.

The shield formation of the Jiangdong soldiers was directly disrupted.

None of the fifteen boulders missed, and all of them hit the shield soldiers.

A wave of offensive continued, and nearly 100 Jiangdong soldiers were killed and wounded, and 800 shield soldiers were even more chaotic.

At this time, the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air sounded again. After the Jiangdong soldiers were in chaos, before they had time to react, bows and arrows fell one after another.

"Poof! poof!"

Bows and arrows pierced into the bodies of Jiangdong soldiers.

After a rain of arrows, the shield soldiers were completely defeated, and no one continued to advance, and they all retreated in confusion.

The leading young general came to Pan Jun's side, looked embarrassed, and said: "Captain, the soldiers under Liu Xiu's command cooperated tacitly, and after using stones to break up our formation, they immediately shot out bows and arrows, and we couldn't get close to the other party's camp." ”

Pan Jun's eyes were gloomy, and there was an angry look in his eyes.

It was a shame that the army of three thousand was blocked outside the camp and could not advance half a step.

"The camp must be broken, and Liu Xiu must be taken. ”

Pan Jun had a cold face and scolded loudly.

The young general lowered his head, not daring to meet Pan Jun's eyes.

Pan Jun stared at Liu Xiu's camp with sharp eyes. This battle is an opportunity he has won so hard, and he can't waste it like this. Pan Jun's mind turned and he thought quickly.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought that the catapult's attacks were not too dense. Obviously, the opponent's catapults are limited, otherwise in the first round, more than a dozen catapults will attack. Because the number of shield soldiers sent just now was not large, a round of stone attacks, all the shield soldiers were scattered, so Liu Xiu could take advantage of it.

As long as there are enough shield soldiers, it is impossible for the catapults to block all of them, and it is impossible to block the soldiers' attacks. Once the soldiers approach the camp, the catapult loses its effect, as does the bow and arrow.

In Pan Jun's heart, he had another idea.

"The herald, the shield bearers and other soldiers, all attacked. The shieldmen went ahead and blocked the arrows, and the rest of the soldiers followed, closing in on the camp. ”

Pan Jun's idea was simple, use the shield to protect the soldiers and approach the camp. As long as the bow and arrow are avoided, the stones are a minority after all. Some of the soldiers were killed and wounded, and when the other part of the soldiers approached, they would inevitably be able to approach the camp.

The Jiangdong soldiers received the order, quickly reorganized the formation, and attacked again.

"Knock! knock!"

The drums of war beat and inspire.

Like a tide, the Jiangdong soldiers once again launched a charge and approached the camp.

Liu Xiu was still very calm when he saw the rapidly approaching Jiangdong soldiers. He waved the order, and the archers and catapult soldiers moved quickly.

In the air, arrows rained down and stones flew.

The Jiangdong soldiers who approached the camp died under the bow and arrow, or died under the stones, and countless others. However, with the help of shields, the soldiers who rushed forward finally approached the camp. At this time, the distance from the camp was less than thirty paces. Catapults and bows and arrows have lost their effectiveness.

One by one, the Jiangdong soldiers screamed and launched a sprint. Entering the camp is the time for them to make contributions, and this is an opportunity that cannot be sought.

At this time, no soldier can suppress the excitement in his heart.

The distance quickly narrowed, and Liu Xiu said: "Ready!"

At the sound of an order, another pair of soldiers lined up. This group of soldiers, with a two-foot-long short spear in their hands, stood still, leaned back, and threw the short spear in their hand suddenly.

Wave after wave of short guns were thrown, fast and powerful.

Hundreds of short guns were fired into the bodies of Jiangdong soldiers.

The Jiangdong soldiers, who rushed to the forefront, were shot one after another and fell to the ground. It's just that even though some soldiers threw short guns to ambush, the Jiangdong soldiers still rushed forward one after another.

Gradually, there are more and more Jiangdong soldiers approaching the camp.

When Pan Jun saw this scene, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It's finally here!

The two armies clashed, and he believed that his soldiers would win.

"Click! Click!"

Suddenly, a group of shield soldiers rushed out of the camp. When Pan Jun saw this team of shield soldiers, his eyes narrowed, and he chuckled in his heart, I don't know what trick Liu Xiu is going to play?

In the short time of fighting against Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu's methods emerged one after another, which gave Pan Jun a headache.

After a while, the shield soldiers and the Jiangdong soldiers clashed.

The shield soldier held the shield and stood dead on the ground, forming a shield wall. Behind the shield soldiers, soldiers with spears poked out their spears through their shields.

The tip of the spear stabbed into the body of the Jiangdong soldier.

In an instant, it was immediately withdrawn.

A puff of blood sprayed, and the Jiangdong soldiers who rushed to the gate of the camp fell directly to the ground, suffering heavy casualties. When the Jiangdong soldiers fell, the shield soldiers immediately pushed forward, and the pikemen who followed immediately stepped forward. The shield soldiers and pikemen worked together tacitly, as if they were a boulder rolling down from the mountain, constantly crushing forward, and no one could stop them.

The Jiangdong soldiers who approached the camp suffered heavy casualties, but they were still unable to enter the camp.

There are stones and bows and arrows to resist, and there are shield soldiers and pikemen to resist inside, and it is difficult for Jiangdong soldiers to advance an inch.

Approaching the camp was also in vain.

The soldiers under Liu Xiu's command blocked the attack, but did not fight back, and chose to hold their positions. Liu Xiu looked at the sprinting Jiangdong soldiers, his eyes narrowed. Now, Liu Xiu does not plan to fight Jiangdong soldiers head-on.

The troops are insufficient, so they choose to hold on first, and then consider counterattacking after rescuing Liu Pan and Huang Zhong.

Liu Xiu advanced and retreated calmly, but Pan Jun was embarrassed.

Pan Jun roughly estimated that from the beginning to the present, the soldiers under his command, including those killed and wounded, have exceeded thousands. However, the soldiers under Liu Xiu's command were not damaged, only wasted bows, arrows and stones, and there was no loss.

On top of that, the morale of the two thousand soldiers under his command was extremely low.

"What should I do? Do you really want to retreat?"

Pan Jun thought about it, but he really couldn't find a solution.

"That's it, withdraw the troops!"

Pan Jun could not approach the camp of the Jingzhou army, so he could only order the withdrawal of troops.

The sound of the gong sounded quickly.

The Jiangdong soldiers, who were attacking, once again retreated like a tide, and soon all withdrew from the battlefield. Pan Jun ordered the soldiers to be counted, and soon, the little colonel reported: "Captain, there are only 1,868 soldiers left in the army. The rest of the soldiers fell on the battlefield. ”

As far as the eye can see, outside the barracks, there are corpses lying densely.

Among them, many Jiangdong soldiers moaned and wailed.

When Pan Jun saw this scene, he was already powerless, he knew that no matter these soldiers, Liu Xiu would definitely send someone to kill all the wounded Jiangdong soldiers or capture all the soldiers. But now, Pan Jun can't rescue these wounded soldiers, and once he gets close, he will inevitably be shot by the opponent's bow and arrow.

"Withdraw, return to camp immediately. ”

Pan Jun gave the order, turned around and withdrew with the soldiers.

Even if he was ridiculed or punished, Pan Jun was helpless, after all, he couldn't take down Liu Xiu.

When the Jiangdong soldiers outside the camp saw this scene, they all despaired. They were left behind, which meant that their lives were in the hands of Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu stood in the camp and waved his hand: "Clean up the battlefield, all the Jiangdong soldiers, all killed." ”

Army soldiers rushed out of the camp and immediately went into action.

Back at the barracks, Liu Xiu began to arrange for the rescue of Liu Pan. To rescue Liu Pan and Huang Zhong this time, there must be a detailed plan. After nightfall, the soldiers began to carry out the order according to Liu Xiu's arrangement
