However, he was too flustered at the time and did not know that in this battle, the enemy only had less than 5,000 troops and horses······

"Hahaha, yes, it's a great pleasure!"

"It's a great battle!"

"That's right, after this battle, it will definitely make Xi Yu frown!"

“······”

In the big tent of the middle camp, there was a lot of laughter.

Cao Wei, Cao Xucang, Sima Wenlu······ One by one, they couldn't laugh too happily.

It shows how happy this victory is.

In fact, the timing of Zang Ba's visit this time is quite ingenious, if he had entered the forest a little later after the ban, let alone the ambush, I am afraid that he would have been killed by Zang Ba's indiscriminate arrows.

Also, because the harvest has not yet begun, so Xiahou Chun has time to have people to attack the enemy, otherwise, whether Zang Ba can surprise the attack, and who will kill the two sides, it is really not yet known!

The most important thing is that if Zang Ba really succeeds, I am afraid that this autumn harvest will become a joke!

A sudden victory boosted the morale of the army, and at the same time made Xiahou Chun happy and forgot some things on the way to being sought after······

Happily, he consciously solved the external trouble, and immediately ordered people to guard the intersections at various intersections, and then ordered the army to prepare to start the long-awaited harvest together with the people.

It's just that just as he was about to be busy with the autumn harvest, an unhappy voice suddenly came out.

"General, my subordinates think that we should be more cautious now, and send more soldiers to guard the main roads, although we won a great victory in this battle, but in the end we have injured thousands of soldiers."

"At the moment, although we will not take the initiative to attack the enemy, we must also guard against the enemy taking advantage of the fire to rob, if there are not even many people left in the army, I am afraid that the risk is quite large, and I am afraid that something will go wrong."

"If this is really the case, don't say that if we continue to harvest grain and grass, I am afraid that the morale we have built down with great difficulty will also dissipate in an instant, and even the morale of the army will be weakened."

Yu Ban, who came from the mountains and forests to persuade Xiahou Chun, spoke earnestly and earnestly.

But Xiahou Chun didn't want to hear this.

He glanced at the other party with disdain, and then said indifferently: "Speaking of using soldiers, am I not as good as you?" ”

"Wen Ze, this general has his own rules for doing things, and it is not your turn to teach a lesson, not to mention anything else, as for today's celebration banquet, you really have no preparation at all?"

"Didn't you see the heavy battle formations laid out outside the tent, and even the hundreds of soldiers armed with bows and crossbows? Ben will hold this celebration banquet before the harvest, just to wait for the army of Xi Yu to take the initiative to come, and then catch it all! ”

"Seeing that the harvest is imminent, Ben will not have so much spare time to go all over the mountains to find enemies!"

"As long as you annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop before the harvest, how can there be such mundane things that you are worried about? Don't be mediocre! ”

Xiahou Chun swore an oath, and there was no lack of disparagement for the ban in his words, Yu Ban bowed his head and was silent for a long time when he saw this, before he nodded and said: "What the general said is reasonable." ”

"It was Zang Ba who came to attack this time, and I think it must be that Xi Yu was busy with the autumn harvest in Qingxu and Xu, so he couldn't find time to make trouble in Puyang, so he sent Zang Ba here."

"In that case, we should take this opportunity to speed up the harvest!"

"Hahaha, that's true!"

It was rare to hear a sentence from the other party's mouth, and Xiahou Chun laughed with satisfaction: "Don't worry, once today's celebration banquet is over, if the enemy doesn't come, then I have nothing to fear, and I will definitely send someone to seize the time to grab the grain." ”

"The general has his own plan, and he will support his humble position, and he will bring people here when he harvests grain!"

Xiahou Chun insisted on going his own way, and Yu Ban knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he didn't want to be disliked.

And now that a big victory is imminent, he is indeed a little suspicious of pouring cold water on his reckless coming to consolation, and it is no wonder that he is not welcomed.

Besides, the other party has already planned everything, and it seems that there is really no need for him to say much.

In the end, all the grain and grass in the East County were collected, and if you want to grab the entire grain in the East County in the shortest possible time, it seems unrealistic if you don't send the entire army.

Speaking of which, if the entire Dongjun grain is harvested, there must be 40,000 or 50,000 stones, which can somewhat solve the urgent needs of the army in the near future.

In the future, if we collect some grain from other places that are not affected by any natural or man-made disasters, the army will be able to get three or five hundred thousand stone of grain and grass, to say the least.

In this way, it may be a little difficult to defend Dongjun for a year, but half a year is still more than enough!

Sure enough, just when the barracks were full of the joy of victory, Zang Ba once again led his army to attack in the middle of the night.

At this time, it stands to reason that it should be after three rounds of drinking, and all the soldiers of Cao Wei are sleepy and tired, but Zang Ba guessed wrong again.

He had just led people to attack Cao Wei's camp, and when he was still a hundred meters away from the main tent, Xiahou Chun, who was sober-minded, put down his wine glass and walked out with a group of generals.

Then, the dense soldiers in the rear surrounded Zang Ba and the others tightly.

Under this heavy encirclement, Zang Ba was naturally defeated again.

But fortunately, the people under Zang Ba are all loyal, even if they are not afraid of danger at this time, they are stunned to take Zang Ba out of the encirclement.

Even when he was about to take a short rest after escaping into the mountain pass, he was caught off guard by Cao Jun who suddenly appeared, and he didn't see those soldiers leaving Zang Ba and fleeing in all directions.

It is precisely because of this that Zang Ba was able to survive the siege again and again.

But even if he escaped, he was badly damaged.

The 10,000 soldiers who had been brought with them when they set out now have only a few thousand left.

Zang Ba never imagined that the result of his surprise attack on Cao's camp would cause such a tragic price, let alone that this mission could be so difficult.

Not to mention the soldiers he brought, even he almost lost his life in the Cao army camp.

This battle ······ How else to fight?

The lord said that he had to hold out for at least seven days, but now that it has only been three days, is it really necessary to fight the next battle?

Zang Ba felt that he might have to break his word and get fat, as for the feudal marquis who was about to be at his fingertips······ I'm afraid I'm going to leave myself.

"Fu Jun, the last general suggests, let's go back and ask for guilt, right? Just now, we have been hit by the enemy's plan twice in a row, and we have suffered heavy losses, if we continue to fight hard, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out! ”

"Yes, Fu Jun, look at the soldiers behind you, they are all scared of these two battles, if you meet the enemy in fear and exhaustion, we are afraid that we will really not be able to bear it!"

"Fujun, why don't you go back and ask for guilt? At least we can leave some hope for the army, and we won't lose our lives. ”

“······”

The lieutenants were physically and mentally exhausted, and their faces were full of words to persuade them to retreat, and their eyes were full of fear.

Looking at this look, you can know that they don't have the heart to continue fighting.

But because of their persuasion, Zang Ba faded away from the fear in his heart and came up with the idea of fighting again.

Anyway, there is not much difference between the current army and the total annihilation, so why not gamble on it?

If you win the bet, everyone is happy, and if you don't say anything, you can live a better life.

Lost the bet······ No matter how miserable it is, it won't be much better than it is now.

In the end, even if he loses this life, he Zang Ba must also be a prince and general!

"I know what you think, it's just ······"

After clarifying his thoughts, Zang Ba sighed deeply, hesitated for a long time before saying: "I have issued a military order to the lord, if I am defeated, I will come to see him, so even if I go back, I will not escape death!" ”

"Besides, the losses of the army at the moment are indeed heavy, but I have estimated that after two battles, we have lost about four or five thousand soldiers."

"In addition to the two or three thousand soldiers around, there should be one or two thousand soldiers who were separated when they fled, if we can gather them, we still have at least half of them, and we still have the strength to fight."

"As long as we can survive this time, I think it will take a while, and when Xiahou Chun and the others grab the grain, they will definitely lack skills, and then it will be time for us to take revenge!"

"If it's possible, presumably in one night, we will have the opportunity to burn the granary in Puyang City, and Xiahou Chun, who is busy with the autumn harvest, would not have thought that we would attack again after the defeat only overnight!"

"This ······"

What Zang Ba said was quite nice, but the soldiers around him were a little hesitant.

It's not that they're afraid of death, but they don't understand that Fu Jun knows that this plan is likely to kill himself, so why does he still go?

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, this kind of thinking is really incomprehensible to the soldiers who have long been comfortable.

Over the years, although everyone is a large army, they have never fought any wars, and they thought it was a simple delaying tactic before they came, so they never took it seriously.

But who would have thought that the other party had already laid a net of heaven and earth, waiting for work at ease, just waiting for himself to drill into it.

After two defeats, everyone felt that it was already God's favor to be able to escape alive, but Fujun still wanted to fight back?

To put it mildly, this is really because I feel that my life is big, and God won't accept it?

I don't know what Fu Jun thinks, when he was in Taishan County before, he was clearly quite sorry for his life, wherever there were mountain bandits and thieves infested, or where the mountains were steep and precipitous, he was afraid of death and did not dare to show up in person, or took a detour.

How do you get the ······ of today's perseverance? Like you don't even want your life?

The puzzled eyes of the surrounding soldiers made Zang Ba feel that his old face was flushed, but he was still stubborn and said loudly: "You should know that the lord treats people very generously, and I agreed to this matter for the sake of future glory and wealth, and made a military order!" ”

"I know that if this is done, the Lord will reward us heavily, and is it not more pleasant than to make people spurn us for their treachery and as deserters?"

"I, Zang Ba, hereby promise you, as long as I fight again, if I win, I will go back and you will be indispensable, if you lose, I Zang Ba will be buried in the Cao army camp in this East County with all the kings, and there will be no regrets!"

"Moreover, all the monarchs should know that the lord appreciates talents and reuses talents, and he can afford to give me such an important matter to Zang Ba today, and I can't wait for it!"

"You must know, in addition to the interests of this world, the more important thing is the human heart, you are willing to be a treacherous villain, how should you be worthy of the lord's attention?"

"I'm not afraid to tell everyone, if this battle can't relieve the lord's worries and be despised by others, then I would rather die under Xiahou Chun's sword, which can be regarded as the master's kindness to me!"

If at the beginning, Zang Ba just wanted to persuade the soldiers to join him, then in the end, it was his true feelings.

I know how many catties and taels I have, if it weren't for the drama, I'm afraid that there is really no one in this world who can value him, he has to admit this love!

Seeing that Zang Ba said so sincerely, the soldiers around him didn't know what to say.

But no matter what he said, his resounding words made some soldiers rush to their hearts.

I wanted to retreat before, but it was because of two consecutive defeats, which made people feel depressed.

Now that they are no longer disturbed by those declining trends, everyone has a little more confidence after all of them have regrouped.

Soon came to Puyang City and burned down the granary that had accumulated a little!

It's just that because of the continuous drizzle, if you want to make the fire burn, it is not easy to burn out the surrounding Cao Wei tents.

This time the surprise attack was exceptionally smooth, so smooth that when Xiahou Chun woke up from his dream, he looked at the fire in the distance and thought that he hadn't woken up.

He never imagined that Zang Ba, who had only suffered two defeats, would be able to gather an army of Qi in just one day and attack him again.

Who in the whole world would have the courage to attack the enemy again after suffering two defeats in a row?

I have to say that Zang Ba's courage is really big, and it really surprised everyone.

The fire broke out in the middle of the night, and after Xiahou Chun was woken up, he hurriedly called someone to extinguish the fire.

However, the grain and grass that had just been harvested could not be extinguished because too much fuel had been splashed, and in the end I could only watch the fruits of the day's hardship burn.

On the contrary, the grain and grass that was being used in the army did not suffer much loss because it was discovered in time.

But even so, part of the grain and grass were destroyed, and even Zang Ba and others had already fled without a trace.

Annoyed, he decisively sent Yu Ban to lead his army into the mountains and forests, while he himself tried to confront Zang Ba who escaped from the mountains and forests in the plains.

However, after Zang Ba hid in the mountains and forests, he refused to show up again, and Yu Ban could only play hide and hide with him in the mountains.

As for Xiahou Chun, there is no chance to fight at all.

In desperation, he had no choice but to let Yu Ban continue to chase Zang Ba in the mountains and forests, while he led the army to work with the people to harvest food.

I don't know when the heavy rain started, and the next rain never ended.

This made the soldiers on both sides in the mountains and forests a little sad, the mountains and forests were uneven, not suitable for marching, and after you chased me on both sides, and after a long time of chasing me inside, they were all exhausted.

It's just that Zang Ba still has a lot of weapons and equipment around him, and with the blessing of these weapons, he is somewhat restrained and returns in vain.

I have to say that since Zang Ba regathered his manpower, the vitality and even explosive power on their bodies seem to have increased a lot in an instant, which makes Yu Ban a headache.

At this time, Xiahou Chun couldn't pull out the soldiers, and he didn't want to pull out the soldiers to help.

Because he felt that the more Zang Ba came here to disturb him, the more difficult things would be.

Therefore, while the manpower is still sufficient, he only wants to snatch the grain back to the granary, as long as he can gather all the people and even the army in the fertile field in the shortest time, he can finish the harvest as quickly as possible.

When it's over, it's the day of your own counterattack!

His idea is good, it's just ······ At night, things suddenly became not easy.

That night, Xiahou Chun ordered the soldiers to fight in the field with torches and collect grain, when suddenly he heard a rumbling sound.

At first, the voice was quite distant, and he did not take it to heart.

But soon, the voice went from far to near, and the momentum was terrifying.

Then, the earth began to tremble uncontrollably, and not only the surrounding people panicked, but even the soldiers were at a loss, not knowing what was happening.

After about half a cup of tea, the people closest to the river suddenly let out a burst of screams, and then there was no sound.

The people a little further behind seemed to see something unbelievable, dropped their food and tools, turned and ran.

At the end, the soldiers of the people, who did not know what had happened, were still staring in the direction of the screams, and the next second, the flood like a stormy wave came into view like a man-eating beast.

was so frightened that everyone's faces turned white, and their legs trembled uncontrollably.

The unbridled flow of the flood broke the embankments, washed away the fields that were being harvested, and wiped out the lives of those who had been swept inside.

Of course, the most important thing is that it washed away the originally hot harvest scene.

The endless flood came down from above, destroying countless fertile fields and lives in the blink of an eye.

Xiahou Chun was stunned for a moment after seeing clearly what was coming, and then hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Run, what are you doing in a daze?" Hurry up and run to the heights! ”

"Retreat! Hurry back! Back into the city! ”

"The flood is coming, run!"

"My God, go back to Puyang City!"

“······”

His words seemed to wake up everyone, and both the people and the soldiers fled in all directions in a panic.

Yu Ban and Zang Ba, who were still playing the trick of chasing me and running away on the mountain outside the city, saw this scene, their faces changed suddenly, and then they didn't care about fighting, and retreated to the rear one after another.

Where do they still have the heart to fight at this time?

Especially Yu Ban, after seeing the apocalyptic scene underground, he only felt that his brain was blank, and the whole person was like eating, and his face was difficult to see to the extreme.

As early as when he first came to Dongjun, he had already reminded Xiahou Chun that there was a problem with the water level of the river, and asked him to go upstream to investigate carefully.

But who would have thought that the other party would not listen at all, but now that it is good, the flood is raging, and this kind of price is not something that anyone can afford!
