Shuhan

Pubanjin is one of the important gateways in the east of Guandong. When the Yellow River flows through the Shanshan area, the current is very fast, and there are very few places where people can cross it. Pubanjin in the Hedong area and Fenglingdu north of Tongguan are the most famous. Two crossings.

When Cao Cao conquered Ma Chao in Xiliang, he sent Xu Huang to capture Pubanjin as a ferry, and then crossed the natural danger of Tongguan and entered Guanzhong.

Pubanjin is so important that it is naturally heavily guarded.

The person guarding Pubanjin is none other than Guan Xing.

The troops are not cannon fodder, but elites who believe in martial arts and righteousness.

Together with the state and county soldiers, there were 3,000 people in total.

But Pubanjin is just a military stronghold. Even if it is reinforced, the defense can only be described as worrying. Facing the information reported by the scouts, Guan Xing is also entangled.

The importance of Pubanjin needs no introduction.

By holding this place, the Wei army will not be able to enter the pass through water.

But how easy is it to hold on to this place?
"How many enemy troops are coming?"

Guan Xing asked quickly.

"The sky is blocked and the sun is blocked, and the number of people is countless. General, according to the opinions of my subordinates, it is best to retreat to the pass, wait for the enemy to cross the river, and attack them halfway across. With our soldiers, how easy is it to hold Pubanjin?"

Returning to Pubanjin was equivalent to handing over this battleground for military strategists. Originally, the Han army was proactive, but it suddenly became passive.

Is this what Guan Xing wants to see?

Moreover, it was precisely because he contained Pubanjin that the refugees in Guanzhong would not escape from here, and those rebels would not return to Wei.

If this place falls into the hands of the Wei State, it will simply be an enemy.

"If you stick to it, there will be a solution!"

Without a touch, how could Guan Xing retreat?

"The reinforcements from General Chariot and Cavalry will arrive in an instant. I don't believe that the Wei army really dares to attack!"

The people under Guan Xing still wanted to persuade him, but Guan Xing had already made up his mind.

"Secure the entire camp and wait for the enemy to attack!"

Seeing that Guan Xing was so determined, the general had no choice but to accept the order.

"promise!"

And less than three days.

Outside the Pubanjin camp, the traces of the Wei army immediately turned into blocking the sky and the sun.

Looking out from the camp, all the black crows are the flags of the Wei army.

That's at least tens of thousands of people.

Guan Xing, who was above the walled city, was already frowning.

Pubanjin was surrounded on three sides, but the enemy had no intention of attacking, which made Guan Xing feel inexplicably panicked.

That night.

The Wei army came to attack in a furious manner. Guan Xing didn't even sleep and rushed to defend, only to find that the Wei army was just feigning an attack.

To the north of the camp, the Wei army's war drums were beating so loudly that the soldiers in the camp did not dare to rest.

The feint came three times during the night.

Every time the Han army did not dare to slack off, but every time the Wei army saw a reaction from the Han army, they did not attack the stronghold.

In the daytime, the Wei army called for formation in front of the camp, and insults were heard endlessly. Guan Xing was not a reckless person, and he was almost so angry that he wanted to leave the camp to fight.

In this way, three days later, under the magical attack of the Wei army, the Han army in the Pubanjin camp became a little crazy.

His grandma's, who led the troops?

Do you have the guts to come and have a fight, just to mess with people's mentality?
On the fourth day, the Wei army continued to beat drums as usual, but the Han army no longer wanted to pay any attention.

Even though Guan Xing urged the generals to defend the stronghold, the Han army was fooled by the Wei army in more than a dozen feint attacks.

The story of the crying wolf is familiar to all of us. The Wei army repeatedly feigned attacks, which also made the Han army in the Pubanjin camp react a beat slower.

The Wei army made more and more feint attacks, and the Han army's response became slower and slower.

In the end, even when the Wei army beat his drum, the Han army sergeants did what they should do.

Guan Xing was left speechless.

However.
Paralyzing the Han army's nerves was Sima Yi's purpose.

Danger is also hidden in it.

Late at night, the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and everything was dark.

People need to rest. The Han army also responded to the Wei army's strategy of weakening the enemy, which was to defend the stronghold with one part, while the rest rested and recuperated, so that they could defend the stronghold for a long time.

In the Han army camp in Pubanjin, most of the soldiers were already immersed in sleep. Only sporadic patrol teams shuttled through the darkness, and their footsteps were particularly clear in the silent night.

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves coming from far away, like thunder before a storm, which was shocking.

The Wei army was like a ghost, taking advantage of the darkness to launch a surprise attack.

Their figures loomed in the darkness, and the sound of clashing armor and the cold light of swords added a chilling air to the dark night.

Guan Xing, the guard general of the Han army, was immersed in sleep at the moment.

"what sound?"

The sudden cry of killing woke him up from his sleep, and he suddenly grabbed the weapon beside him.

At the same time, he shouted loudly to the soldiers to fight.

"But the Wei army is coming to attack? Quickly defend the stronghold!"

However, the reaction of the Han army was surprisingly slow. It took a while after the military order was issued before the Han army responded. The Wei army stormed the camp, but the Han army in the camp was unable to organize effective resistance for a while.

bang~
The gate of the camp was breached in an instant under the fierce attack of the Wei army. In the light of the fire, the figures of the Wei army poured into the camp like a flood.

"Come on~"

"Kill!"

The gate of the stronghold was broken, and the Han army in the stronghold finally reacted.

One by one they came out to challenge the Wei army.

Guan Xing waved his weapons, took the lead, and launched a desperate struggle with the Wei army who rushed into the camp.

"Defend the city!"

"Defend the city!"

Every time he swung his sword, the enemy screamed and blood splattered.

However, the Wei soldiers were so numerous that they poured into the camp like a tide, and the Han army gradually fell into a bitter battle.

The soldiers around Guan Xing fell one by one. He was also injured in many places, and his shirt was dyed red with blood.

But he did not flinch, and still fought bravely to kill the enemy. Several times he drove the Wei troops who rushed into the camp out of the camp.

However, the situation was irreversible. From the moment the Wei army broke through the village gate, the Han army's defeat was a foregone conclusion.

In other words, it is impossible to defend the Pubanjin camp.

The right time, right place, and harmony.

How can we hold on to the Pubanjin camp if we don't occupy any of it?
"General, withdraw, Pubanjin can't be defended anymore, keep it until you can be useful, and take revenge for today in the future!"

"This Pubanjin is a battleground for military strategists!" Guan Xing looked particularly unwilling.

"Keep the green hills here, don't worry about running out of firewood. General, I'm offended!"

Under the force of his generals, Guan Xing reluctantly abandoned the camp and fled across the river with the remaining soldiers by boat.

The waves on the river were rough and the wind was roaring, as if mourning the defeat.

Looking back at the Pubanjin camp, the flames shot into the sky and the shouts of killing were deafening.

The flags of the Wei army fluttered in the firelight, which was so dazzling in Guan Xing's eyes.

The enemy this time was different from what the Han army had dealt with before.

This kind of cotton-like tactics left him nowhere to display his bravery.

What a loser.

Guan Xing stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the camp that was gradually receding, his heart filled with grief, anger and helplessness.

"Guan Xing, I am ashamed of Your Majesty, I am ashamed of Your Highness, I am ashamed of my trust in General Chariot and Cavalry."

He knew what this defeat meant to the Han army.

As soon as Pubanjin is lost, the Wei army can cross the river and enter the pass. If they really detour to Tongguan and cut off the grain road to Tongguan, Tongguan will be in danger.

However, the only thing he could do at this moment was to flee the battlefield with the remaining defeated generals as soon as possible to preserve his strength for another day of fighting.

Victory or defeat is standard issue.

If you lose this time, just win it next time!
However.
Pubanjin was destroyed by the Wei army, which was just the first bad news Liu Chan got.

But another piece of bad news was even more unfavorable to the current Han State and put Liu Chan in a dilemma. (End of chapter)
