In Yizhou, the smoke of the war has just dissipated, and greater fear is shrouded in the heads of the people of Yizhou, Guo Jia does not want to hide the impending crisis in Yizhou from Yizhou's Baixin, and countless messengers immediately spread the information about the war to every corner of Yizhou. Now all the departments of the Shenwu Army are fighting fiercely, the messengers of Yizhou urgently set off, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Jiaozhou, Bingzhou, Yuzhou, and even Guo Jia, who is fighting in the imperial capital, have sent messengers.

The people of Yizhou have just woken up from the fear of war, and the vibrant land of Yizhou is continuously sending all kinds of fresh blood to the Shenwu army fighting on the front line, and countless weapons and armor have been manufactured and piled up on logistics transport vehicles to send to the front line. When the information of the war reached every corner of Yizhou, the people of Yizhou were boiling, and the people who had experienced the invasion of the Sea Clan definitely did not want the fear of war on their heads, and countless people put down their work in their hands, and poured into the military camps everywhere, enthusiastically joining the army, and the garrison camps of the Shenwu Army in various cities were instantly crowded with these people, and there were people everywhere who wanted to join the army.

Chengdu City, which once replaced Yizhou City as the capital city of Yizhou, a huge military port not far away provides infinite convenience for Chengdu City, even if Chengdu City is deep in the mountains, the water gate is still the same as the sea, and the artificially dug canal can even be used for the passage of steel building ships. The news of the Sea Clan's attack was sent to the camp in Chengdu City as soon as possible, and the guard general Pang Juan and his lieutenant stared at the map with a solemn face.

Zhu Wenzheng on the Nanyang side is good at defending, Zhu Wenzheng has already proved his talent for defending the city with his strength, and attacking from Nanyang, whether it is the Yingzhou people or the Sea Clan, will definitely hit the head and bleed. Pang Juan also knows his responsibility. The 100,000 recruits in his hands are Guo Jia's biggest backhand. It is also the largest liliang in Yizhou now. Even the 50,000 elite Pang Juan under Zhu Wenzheng was confident that he would defeat them with his 100,000 recruits, but Pang Juan also felt powerless in the face of a huge number of enemy troops. No matter how strong the combat effectiveness is, the gap between the forces can smooth out everything, not to mention that they still have five steel building ships in their hands, which is definitely a nightmare for Pang Juan to defend the city.

Zhu Wenzheng is good at defending, Pang Juan is good at attacking, and the two can be said to be the perfect combination of Yizhou. Now that Zhu Wenzheng and Pang Juan are fighting at the same time, they feel strong pressure, how should this battle be fought. Pang Juan was very troubled, but fortunately, the enemy still had a period of time to be able to feel Yizhou, which bought Pang Juan a lot of time. Pang Juan continued to make deductions on the sand table, but none of the results could satisfy Pang Juan, no matter which kind of tactical deduction had to pay heavy sacrifices, and there was no way to win this war, which was Pang Juan's biggest headache.

"General, countless more people rushed to the door of the barracks and asked to join the army. Pang Juan's lieutenant hurriedly walked in and said loudly to Pang Juan, Pang Juan nodded, waved his hand and let the deputy deal with it. Deputy General Pang Liang was stunned when he saw Pang Juan's situation. It was the first time he had seen his general with such a sad face, you must know that Pang Juan was looking up to the sky on the day he received the battle report. His chance to make immortal achievements has finally come, but things don't seem to be good right now.

"General, if we all let them be incorporated into the reserve barracks, our strength will already exceed 300,000, and our weapons and armor are seriously insufficient. Pang Liang said to Pang Juan in a low voice, Pang Juan was stunned for a moment, raised his head and glanced at Pang Liang, and suddenly the afterglow swept to a dim oil lamp beside Pang Liang, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Fire, since the birth of fire, has been two special existences that are incompatible with fire and water. Countless naval battles have proved that fire is the most effective weapon against warships, whether at sea or on land. Pang Juan is not Zhou Yu, nor Zhuge Liang, but he is also a famous general through the ages, he doesn't know the battle of Chibi, but he definitely knows how to fight a beautiful fire attack. Pang Juan didn't care about his deputy general Pang Liang, continued to stare at the map carefully, and deduced on the sand table a few times, his face became very ugly, and he walked back and forth in the town guard mansion with an anxious face, as if he was thinking about something important.

"Pang Liang, you immediately go and find the city lord Li Hui for me now, and immediately pass the order, from now on, in addition to the 100,000 troops under my command, the other 200,000 troops will immediately assemble in the barracks and wait for my orders at any time. Pang Juan suddenly seemed to have made a lot of determination, seemed to have decided something big, and immediately said loudly to his lieutenant, who suddenly understood the urgency of the matter when he saw Pang Juan's appearance, and hurried out.

Li Hui, the city lord who has also been tortured by war mobilization in the past few days, rushed to the house just after lying down Pang Liang, and was tied up by Pang Liang before Li Hui understood what was going on. It's not okay not to tie it up, the busyness of these days has also made Li Hui tired, there is no energy at this time, Pang Liang explained for a long time that he didn't understand, and immediately tied him up. Pang Juan was also stunned when he saw this situation in the town guard mansion, and immediately understood what was going on.

"City Lord Li, please forgive the sin, but the matter is urgent, and we can't help but take this special measure. Pang Juan saw Li Hui, who was held in Pang Liang's hand, hurriedly daoqian, Li Hui was blocked back by Pang Juan before he could speak, Pang Juan anxiously asked Li Hui: "City Lord Li, I need to know the comprehensive situation of Chengdu City now, including the grain and grass in the city, weapons and armor, and the number of people, etc., I need to know everything." ”

"General Pang, what are you doing here?" Even Li Hui, who was not sensitive to war, seemed to grasp something in an instant, and suddenly sobered up. Li Hui looked at Pang Juan's gaze staring at Chengdu City and seemed to understand, his fingers pointed at Pang Juan with a little trembling, as if he couldn't believe that Pang Juan would propose such a battle. Pang Liang looked at his main general's eyes, and seemed to understand something, he also looked at his main general with a solemn face, this jihua is too huge.

Pang Juan looked at Li Hui and Pang Liang who looked incredulous, shook his head helplessly and said: "If there is a slight possibility of victory, I definitely don't want to use this jihua, but now our Chengdu City is not the opponent of the group of dwarves in Yingzhou in terms of strength and combat effectiveness, and we must not let them enter our hinterland." This is the only way I can think of to defeat them. I hope that the city lord can fully support me. ”

"Newspaper. General, the military advisor ordered someone to send emergency military information. Just as Li Hui was about to speak, he was interrupted by a messenger, who hurriedly sent the information in his hand to Pang Juan. Pang Juan checked the information and immediately opened the letter in his hand, looking at the black letters on the letter, Pang Juan's face suddenly showed a strong joy, Pang Juan's biggest obstacle to the implementation of this jihua is Guo Jia, and now even Guo Jia has sent a letter, that is, this jihua can be executed without hindrance.

"City Lord, this is the information that the military advisor just sent. Take a look. Pang Juan's face was full of joy, Guo Jia supported this operation, even if there was a big difficulty, he would carry it out. Li Hui took the letter, only to see that there was only one word written on the letter, that is, the word fire, although he couldn't see anything in it, but he knew that Pang Juan's jihua and Guo Jia's jihua coincided. If this jihua has Guo Jia's consent, even if there is great suffering, it must be carried out, but this time how many people will suffer, and how many families will be separated.

Li Hui looked at the information in his hand. His hands were constantly trembling, and the execution of this jihua was too difficult. Not only the reason for the loss of the battle, but also the countless people who died in this battle, although their sacrifice was very meaningful, but this sacrifice was too cruel. Li Hui put down the letter in his hand with a dead face, he is not a military general, he knows how to love the people more, he only knows that the lives of every citizen under his rule are precious, if possible, he is absolutely unwilling to let them sacrifice in vain, especially this kind of cruel sacrifice.

"General Pang, is there really no other way? Do you have to use such a cruel method?" Li Hui looked at Pang Juan expectantly, expecting Pang Juan to give him a different answer, but when Pang Juan nodded heavily, Li Hui finally wiped out all the hope in his heart.

"City Lord, if there is the slightest possibility, I will never want to do this. Pang Juan said to Li Hui in a heavy tone: "The city lord can imagine the people who sacrificed before, the ferocity of the people of Yingzhou does not need me to say that the city lord should also be very clear, if we don't keep them out of Chengdu City this time, the sacrifice of our people in Yizhou is definitely not a small number, imagine them." If possible, I would like to bear the infamy of this battle alone. ”

"General Pang can't, I'm a parent official, if I can only use this method to save the people of Yizhou, I'm willing to bear this infamy, and the people of Chengdu City can afford this sacrifice." Li Hui immediately regained his decisive expression, since it is inevitable, let's execute it decisively, there are many people to sacrifice in this war. Compared with the people of Chengdu City and the people of Yizhou as a whole, it is really not worth mentioning.

Li Hui quickly understood what he should do, Li Hui explained the situation of the entire Chengdu City in a single step, as the head of the city, Li Hui naturally knew the situation in the city very well, from the materials in the city's warehouses, to the number of people, and even all the statistics in the city were said. Pang Juan listened to the figures reported by Li Hui and immediately frowned, the situation is far more complicated than Pang Juan imagined, as the largest town in Yizhou, the people and various things in Chengdu City are definitely not a small number.

"Is there anything else General Pang doesn't understand?" Li Hui looked at Pang Juan with a resolute expression, he had already made up his mind that he would never let the enemy army like locusts enter the interior of Yizhou. Yizhou has just experienced the invasion of the Sea Clan, and the entire Yizhou is now recuperating, and if these people rush in, it will undoubtedly hurt Yizhou's vitality. Li Hui has decided to sacrifice the people of Chengdu in exchange for the safety of Yizhou.

Pang Juan nodded heavily and said, "Thank you City Lord Li for your support, City Lord, it's just that the situation in Chengdu City today is far more complicated than I imagined, I want to know how long it will take if my army fully cooperates to empty the entire Chengdu City? I also need the City Lord to help me determine a number." ”

"General, please don't be so polite, if you want to empty the entire Chengdu City, it will take about a month. And this is just a general evacuation, and there is no way to transport many things out of Chengdu City at all, and. Li Hui also expressed his worries, but his heart was also slightly moved, Pang Juan did not want to exchange the people of a city for the entire Yizhou, which made Li Hui a little excited. It's just that Pang Juan's last sentence made Li Hui worried. Of course, he also knows what this jihua needs to give. Pang Juan would never allow him to empty the entire Yizhou City.

Pang Juan nodded heavily, glanced at everyone with a solemn face, and said: "Of course, Chengdu City cannot be completely emptied, if Chengdu City is completely emptied, it will be easy to arouse the suspicion of the enemy, I plan not to move the materials in Chengdu City at all, and I also need Taishou to determine a number for me, a number that you can bear." ”

"100,000 people, I don't know if the general is satisfied with this number. Li Hui's heart was dripping blood. In the huge city of Chengdu, the small number of cleavage guards will definitely arouse the suspicion of the enemy. But if there is more of this number, Li Hui can't accept it, 100,000 people, this is 100,000 people, not 100,000 pigs. Li Hui looked at Pang Juan, and Pang Juan's face was also distorted when he heard this number. The number of 100,000 people has a great impact on Pang Juan, 100,000 people, if this jihua is really executed successfully, absolutely no one of these 100,000 people will survive, this is a miserable and inhumane jihua.

Once this jihua is executed. Regardless of whether Zuihou succeeds or not, no matter who bears this responsibility, it is a stain that they can't wash away for the rest of their lives. Pang Juan and Li Hui are destined to carry this stain. Carrying this infamy on his back will be forever spurned by the world, while the other person enjoys the worship of the world with glory. Li Hui has already thought very clearly, this infamy can only be carried by him, because the person who carries this infamy must also die in this battle, this is the relief method that Li Hui can think of. Li Hui had to bear this infamy, he absolutely couldn't tolerate so many people becoming cold numbers and sacrificing in front of them.

Pang Juan nodded heavily and said: "I can accept this number, Chengdu City is a big city, there are countless materials, we can only transfer a limited number of people, and the sacrifices of these people are not in vain." City Lord Li, you take the people to transfer, 100,000 people, and I will handle the work of the palace. ”

Li Hui was stunned when he heard Pang Juan's words, he immediately understood what Pang Juan was going to do, and it was obvious that Pang Juan was going to resist the whole responsibility for him. Li Hui smiled helplessly, shook his head at Li Pangjuan and said: "General, you are far inferior to me in dealing with civil affairs, organizing the people of the entire city to retreat is my strength, leading the troops to fight, I am not as good as you, I hope the general can kill the enemy at the end of the war." ”

"City Lord Li, I understand what you mean, but I still have to make it clear to you that the 200,000 recruits and the 100,000 elites under my command will defend the city and withstand the enemy's attack for at least ten days, so this responsibility must be handed over to me. Pang Juan said to Li Hui with a solemn face, if he directly gave up Chengdu City, he would definitely arouse the suspicion of the enemy, and if the enemy bypassed Chengdu City and attacked the inland of Yizhou directly, then their entire Jihua would fail, and the entire Yizhou would suffer from military disasters.

"Haha...."As soon as Pang Juan's words were finished, Li Hui haha, Li Hui pointed at Pang Juan and said: "General Pang, when it comes to arranging troops to fight and commanding formations, I am far from being your opponent." In terms of personal martial arts, personal cultivation, I am far from waiting for your opponent, in terms of seizing the fighter, I am not your opponent on the battlefield, I can talk about defending the city, although I am not as good as you, as long as General Pang leaves me 200,000 recruits, I am organizing 100,000 young people, I can help the general to defend for ten days. ”

Pang Juan's face changed, his heart was very hesitant, but Li Hui was firm. Pang Juan finally nodded heavily and said: "Okay, I will guard for you for five days, after five days, I will withdraw alone and leave all the troops to you, you only need to guard for five days." In addition, all the responsibility for this battle is to be fought by me alone, and I will personally explain all this to the lord, and the merits of the city lord Li and my guilt will be made clear to the lord. ”

"General Pang, the sacrifice of 300,000 people, I hope to exchange for an unprecedented victory, I need the general to return a permanent peace to Yizhou after this battle. Li Hui solemnly said to Pang Juan that this battle must make him fight in Yizhou outside the city, and let everyone understand the horror of Yizhou.

"City Lord Li, I will definitely show your merits to the world for your great achievements, City Lord Li, please rest assured that the people who died in this battle are all my Pang Juan's responsibility. Pang Juan said solemnly Li Hui.

"General, you are a famous general in the world, this credit belongs to you, and I am willing to bear this charge for the general. Li Hui arched his hand and said to Pang Juan: "General, if there is nothing else, I will go down to find the people who voluntarily stay." ”

"Thank you City Lord Li, on behalf of tens of millions of people in Yizhou, I thank the City Lord for his great kindness. Pang Juan walked in front of Li Hui and bowed three times to Li Hui, and Pang Liang, who was standing on the side, was also stunned by the whole Jihua, and hurriedly followed Pang Juan to Li Hui and bowed three times.

"This is the credit of the people, I, Li Hui, will never take the credit, I only hope that the general can remember the sacrifice of our people and fight bravely to kill the enemy. Li Hui said to Pang Juan.

"City Lord Li, please rest assured, if there is still an enemy alive after this battle, I, Pang Juan, will definitely cut off my own head to apologize. Pang Juan bowed and solemnly assured Li Hui. (To be continued......)
