At the end of the Han Dynasty: a stingy husband from his hometown

Chapter 203: Fall into battle and show off your power
I heard Liu Biao asking himself.

Huo Jun hurriedly said: "Xu Huang has just arrived and is very energetic. The soldiers in Jingzhou are afraid of his reputation. We must not compete with him."

"The city of Hanshou is tall and well-equipped with defensive equipment and mountains of food and grass. If we rely on the geographical advantage to defend the city, Xu Huang will not be able to attack it for a long time, and his morale will inevitably drop."

"If Jingzhou soldiers can block Xu Huang's attack, their fear will disappear. At that time, they can choose the opportunity to defeat Xu Huang again. It is not too late."

As soon as Huo Jun finished speaking, Liu Pan stepped forward and shouted: "This is absolutely ridiculous!"

"As the saying goes, if you keep it for a long time, you will lose it."

"Xu Huang has come a long way. His soldiers are exhausted and he only has 30 troops. If we don't take this opportunity to defeat him in one battle and boost his morale, it will be too late to regret it when Zhou Qi leads an army of [-] to kill him!"

Huo Jun shook his head and said, "No."

"Yangzhou claims to have raised 30 troops, but from what I can see, they are no more than [-] at most."

"And Yangzhou soldiers and horses come from afar and consume countless amounts of food and grass every day. If we unite with Xiangyang soldiers and horses to defend the city, it will only take a few months. When Yangzhou's food is exhausted, we will definitely collapse without a fight."

Seeing the two people arguing endlessly, Liu Biao felt dizzy.

He is a Confucian scholar and does not understand the art of war. After listening to the two people arguing, he felt that what they said was reasonable, but he did not know how to make a choice.

Seeing this, Kuai Yue's eyes flashed slightly, and he stepped forward to stop the two from continuing to argue, saying: "Two generals, please stop for now. This matter should be decided by the envoy."

Liu Biao looked at Kuai Yue with a hint of melancholy and asked, "Do you think what the two of them said is reasonable?"

Seeing that Liu Biao did not mention surrender at all, Kuai Yue immediately understood what Liu Biao was thinking.

His heart sank slightly, but he said calmly on the surface: "I think the envoy should first patrol the city and the city walls before making a decision."

Liu Biao didn't understand what he meant. It was a hindrance to Kuai Yue's face, and since he couldn't reach a conclusion now, he simply followed Kuai Che's wishes and took Jingzhou civil and military forces to patrol the city.

As soon as he walked out of the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion, he saw many people carrying their luggage and their families fleeing in panic out of the city.

When Liu Biao saw this, his face darkened. He ordered someone to stop a couple and asked, "What are you doing?"

The couple knew that Liu Biao and others were high-ranking officials, so they hurriedly bowed down and said, "It is said that the chariot and cavalry generals raised 50 troops to attack Hanshou, and with the invincible general Xu Huang as the vanguard, the city will definitely not be able to be defended."

"If we don't escape now, it will be too late to regret when Xu Huang enters the city."

Liu Biao's face was gloomy. He did not expect that the news of Zhou Qi's attack would spread in the city so quickly.

If there was no one to add fuel to the flames, Liu Biao would not believe it.

Moreover, the folk rumors were even more outrageous. Liu Biao originally did not believe that Zhou Qi could assemble an army of 30, but when it was spread to ordinary people, it turned out to be 50.

With an army of 50, even if Yangzhou uses all its strength, it may not be able to recruit so many soldiers.

Anyone with any brain would know that this is impossible.

He took a deep breath, turned to Wen Wu behind him and shouted: "I just got the news, why has it already spread among the people?"

Seeing that no one answered, Liu Biao was angry, but he couldn't get angry. He immediately ordered his subordinates to close the city gate tightly and not let the people leave the city.

If all the people have fled, what's the point of Liu Biao guarding an empty city?
As long as there is enough food and grass in the city, the people can be of great use to defending the city, and Liu Biao will naturally not let them leave Hanshou.

When Liu Biao led Jingzhou Wenwu to the east gate, he saw many people with their families and even many aristocratic families mixed in among them. The whole Hanshou City was panicked.

He could clearly feel that almost no one believed that Jingzhou could win this battle.

The closer he got to the city gate, the more depressed Liu Biao felt, with a hint of despair in his depression.

We are not afraid that the enemy is strong, but we are afraid that our own side has no fighting spirit and believes that defeat is inevitable.

Just now in the Prefectural Mufu, Liu Biao already felt that something was wrong. Almost all Jingzhou civil servants, led by Kuai Yue, persuaded him to surrender.

Now that he saw the appearance of the people in the city, he understood why.

Liu Biao took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress his uneasiness, and finally led everyone to the east gate of Hanshou City.

When the generals who defended the city saw Liu Biao coming with his men in person, they hurriedly came forward to greet him.

Liu Biao asked: "How is the morale of the sergeants?"

The general who defended the city looked troubled and said, "When the soldiers learned that the person leading the troops was Xu Huang, they were all as frightened as tigers and their morale was low."

He lowered his voice and said: "In the past few days, deserters have been appearing in the city. Even though the general has killed several people in a row, he still cannot stabilize people's hearts."

When Liu Biao heard this, his heart sank to the bottom of his heart.

Looking at Liu Biao's ugly face, the general who defended the city hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "The morale of the soldiers in the city is low now. If this continues, Hanshou may not be able to survive when the Yangzhou army arrives."

"General Huang Zhong is famous in Jingzhou for his bravery and skill in fighting, and is deeply loved and trusted by his soldiers."

"If you can use General Huang Zhong, you may be able to stabilize the morale of the army and protect Han Shou!"

When Liu Biao heard Huang Zhong's name, his face darkened and he didn't say a word.

He had already become suspicious of Huang Zhong before. Although he did not remove the other party from his official position, he only gave Huang Zhong a sinecure and had no intention of continuing to let Huang Zhong lead the army.

Liu Biao snorted coldly, said nothing, and was in no mood to continue looking at the demoralized defenders. He could only take Jingzhou Wenwu back to the Prefectural Mufu.

Seeing that the heat was enough, Kuai Yue took the opportunity to continue to persuade: "Both the people and soldiers in the city have no fighting spirit at this time. If we don't surrender as soon as possible, it will be too late to regret when the Hanshou City is broken."

"shut up!"

After hearing this, Liu Biao could no longer hold back the anger in his heart and shouted sharply at Kuai Yue.

He stared at Kuai Yue and said: "I am guarding Jingzhou for Your Majesty, how can I surrender without a fight?"

But soon, Liu Biao softened his attitude and said: "This is a serious matter, so I will write a letter to Cai Mao and Huang Zu to see what they think."

"For the current plan, we should first discuss which one Liu Pan and Huo Jun said is more feasible."

Seeing Liu Biao's anger, Kuai Yue knew that he had acted too hastily and did not dare to continue persuading him. Then he thought to himself: "If Huo Jun's strategy is really used, it will probably not be easy for the cavalry general to defeat Han Shou."

Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Since the envoy has not made up his mind yet, I can't persuade him anymore."

"But the envoy has also seen that the soldiers and civilians in the city are as afraid of the enemy as tigers. If the status quo cannot be changed, Hanshou will be defeated by Yangzhou soldiers and horses sooner or later."

"In my opinion, although the young general's strategy is slightly risky, it is also the fastest way to boost the morale of the city."

"If you can win a big victory, it will be inspiring."

Liu Biao hesitated and said: "Having said that, Xu Huang is a famous general in the world, and he is definitely not easy to get along with. It may not be easy to defeat him."

When Liu Pan saw that Kuai Yue agreed with his point of view, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "Uncle, please don't worry. Previously, my nephew underestimated the enemy, so he mistakenly fell into Xu Huang's ambush and returned in defeat."

"If you let me lead the troops out of the city to fight with them again, even if we don't win, we won't lose. Please don't worry, uncle."

Liu Biao thought for a long time and finally made up his mind to let Liu Pan go out of the city to fight Xu Huang.

Otherwise, when Zhou Qi's army arrives, there will really be no chance.

"In that case, I order you to lead [-] troops out of the city, let Zhang Yun lead [-] troops to suppress the formation, and Wenpin and Huo Jun will lead the remaining troops to defend the city!"

"In this battle, I don't seek merit, but I seek no faults. Be cautious!"

Liu Biao's plan was good. As long as the soldiers went out to fight Xu Huang, even if they could maintain an unbeaten situation, it would eliminate the fear of the soldiers in the city and boost their morale.

Liu Pan was overjoyed when he heard this and prepared to lead his troops out of the city.

"Wait, General!"

At this moment, a voice came. Everyone looked at it and found that the person who spoke was Huo Jun.

When Liu Pan saw this, his face darkened and he shouted: "What do you have to say?"

Huo Jun knew that Liu Biao would not adopt his strategy, so he could only settle for the next best thing, saying: "Huang Hansheng has courage that cannot be matched by ten thousand men, and he and the major general once guarded Changsha together. If you have to go out of the city to fight Xu Huang, you might as well Take General Huang with you.”

"With General Huang here, it will definitely inspire people and ensure that nothing goes wrong!"

Liu Pan was also a little moved when he heard this.

He had worked with Huang Zhong for a long time and knew that he was brave, but he did not believe that Huang Zhong was a disloyal person.

Unexpectedly, before Liu Pan could speak, he saw Liu Biao shouting sharply: "General Huang has other important tasks. This time, only Liu Pan and Zhang Yun can go out to fight Xu Huang out of the city!"

Liu Bian no longer trusts the Jingzhou family, so the two leading generals are people he can trust.

Needless to say, Liu Pan was Liu Biao's son. His relationship was almost the same as that of father and son, and he was absolutely trustworthy.

As for Zhang Yun, many people may not know that he is Liu Biao's nephew.

Even Wenpin, who was from the same hometown as Li Yanai, was now jealous of Liu Biao.

Liu Biao was not confused. The civil service could be left to the local scholars in Jingzhou, but most of the actual generals who commanded the army were related by blood or marriage to them.

This is true for Liu Pan and Zhang Yun, as well as for Cai Mao and Huang Zu.

Seeing Liu Biao getting angry, Huo Jun sighed inwardly, but finally said nothing more.

He knew that Jingzhou was hopeless.

However, it was said that when Liu Pan was recruiting troops and horses, in order to boost morale, he applied for a lot of money from Liu Biao and had people distribute it, which indeed temporarily stabilized people's hearts.

In order to encourage the soldiers to kill the enemy vigorously, Liu Pan promised a huge reward. The Jingzhou soldiers would receive very generous rewards for each level of beheading.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

Encouraged by money, the [-] soldiers also suppressed their fear of Xu Huang. Under the leadership of Liu Pan, they rushed out of the city with their strength and took the initiative to attack.

At the same time, an unsigned secret letter was sent from Hanshou City to Xu Huang Military Camp.

Xu Huang read the contents of the letter and asked Gao Shun and Li Yan: "Is what it says credible?"

Li Yan took the letter, considered it carefully, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, general, it's absolutely trustworthy."

When Xu Huang heard this, he looked a little embarrassed and said: "The letter tells me that I must defeat Jingzhou's troops and horses in this battle and weaken their spirit. Only in this way can I force Liu Biao to make up his mind to surrender."

"However, there are 5000 soldiers and horses leaving the city, and they are all trained regular soldiers."

"I was able to defeat Liu Pan in Changsha before because the opponent misjudged the number of soldiers and horses under my command, and I was able to achieve this result by underestimating the enemy."

"Liu Pan is well prepared this time, and his troops and horses are more than three times mine. I'm afraid it won't be easy to defeat the Jingzhou army and demoralize the enemy!"

As a famous general in the world, Xu Huang was not dazzled by his previous consecutive victories and his huge fame. Instead, he looked at things very thoroughly.

As he said, with few soldiers under his command, it would not be easy to win.

If Liu Biao is willing to use Huang Zhong, I am afraid that Xu Huanggan may not easily fight the Jingzhou army.

When Li Yan heard Xu Huang's words, he frowned and thought about countermeasures secretly, but after much thought, he couldn't think of any good solution.

If you want to defeat more with less, you mostly rely on surprise, ambushes, and surprise attacks. If you want to defeat an enemy who is well prepared and has far more troops than you, either cavalry versus infantry, or overwhelming weapons and equipment.

In fact, if the infantry is prepared in advance, even the cavalry will not be afraid of the frontal force. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the history of Chinese wars.

However, truly excellent cavalry generals will never be stupid enough to attack a prepared infantry square. Most of them will choose to pursue the defeated army or attack or harass them.

Just when Xu Huang and Li Yan were frowning, Gao Shun stood up and said: "The saying is to raise an army for a thousand days, but to use it for a while."

"The trapped soldiers are the most elite soldiers selected from each battalion. They have the best weapons and equipment, and enjoy the most generous benefits. It's time to serve the lord!"

When Xu Huang and Li Yan heard this, they both looked at Gao Shun in shock.

Xu Huang asked: "What does General Gao mean?"

Gao Shun said seriously: "The purpose of the messenger is to let us demoralize the enemy, break down the Jingzhou army's will to resist, and force Liu Biao to surrender."

“It doesn’t have to be a big win to do that.”

He looked at Xu Huang and said, "If we can block the attack of [-] Jingzhou soldiers with a thousand soldiers and horses, will it destroy their will?"

Xu Huang couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this.

He and Gao Shun were promoted by Zhou Qi almost at the same time, and he also knew that Gao Shun's military training was indeed extraordinary, and his combat effectiveness in the trapped camp was very strong.

But over the years, Gao Shun has always been by Zhou Qi's side, and has almost no dazzling achievements in the trapped camp.

Xu Huang was also let out and didn't know much about the trapped camp.

Therefore, when he heard Gao Shun's words, he was shocked but did not believe it.

With one thousand against twenty thousand, it is completely a matter of throwing an egg against a stone. There is almost no possibility of victory in a head-on confrontation.

Li Yan even bluntly said: "The general is joking. With one thousand soldiers and horses against 5000 Jingzhou soldiers, and [-] people led by Zhang Yun to suppress the battle, there is absolutely no chance of victory."

Gao Shun said expressionlessly: "The trapped camp is willing to be the vanguard. Gongming can lead the troops to suppress the formation. If someone is defeated, he will send a signal. It will not be too late for the general to come to rescue at that time."

Although Xu Huang was hesitant, he still believed in his lord's ability to recognize people.

Since Gao Shun is so highly regarded by his lord, he is definitely not someone who boasts out of thin air, and based on Xu Huang's understanding of Gao Shun, since the other party dares to say so, he must be somewhat confident.

And if you are holding the battle yourself, there shouldn't be any problems.

Thinking of this, Xu Huang immediately said: "That's the case, then I can help the general." Even though Xu Huang's official position was higher than that of Gao Shun, he was a close minister of the cavalry general, and Xu Huang did not dare to put on any airs.

"Boom boom boom!"

The war drums roared, resounding throughout the earth.

The city gate was opened wide, and Liu Pan and Zhang Yun led the Jingzhou soldiers and horses to fight out of the city and came to the camp where Xu Huang had set up to call for formation.

"Little Xu Huang, come and die quickly!"

"Little Xu Huang, come and die quickly!"

"Little Xu Huang, come and die quickly!"

Encouraged by money and the large number of soldiers in Jingzhou, they finally gained some morale.

They shouted loudly outside the camp, and each time they shouted, their voices became louder and their morale increased.

Gao Shun was about to lead the trapped camp out of the stronghold to fight, but was stopped by Xu Huang.

Xu Huang said: "There is a saying in the art of war: one can make a strong effort, then it will weaken, and three times it will be exhausted."

"The Jingzhou soldiers have recently arrived, and their energy is at their peak. We need to wait for them to wait for a while. When the Jingzhou soldiers' energy subsides, it won't be too late to fight them again."

Gao Shun thought so and immediately closed the gate of the village.

When Liu Pan saw that Xu Huang refused to go out to fight, he was immediately overjoyed and shouted to his soldiers: "Xu Huang must have seen the large number of soldiers and horses like us, so he became a coward and did not dare to come out to fight! "

When the soldiers in Jingzhou heard this, their morale was greatly boosted.

Liu Pan sent more than a hundred men with loud voices to the gate of the camp, yelling at Xu Huang by name and using all kinds of obscene words, which made the soldiers and horses in the camp furious and asked for a fight.

Xu Huang, however, sat firmly on the Diaoyutai without any sign of anger. Instead, he said to everyone with a smile on his face: "When the two armies fight, they rely on strength and courage, not words."

"No matter how much the Jingzhou Army scolds me, can they still scold me to death?"

"Follow me, gentlemen, just watch the clown show. When the time comes, the Jingzhou Army will pay the price!"

When all the soldiers saw Xu Huang's magnanimity, they were all impressed, but when they heard the yelling outside the camp, they all held back their anger.

Liu Pan and the Jingzhou Army were scolding happily at first, but as time passed, more than [-] people were hoarse from the scolding, but Xu Huang in the camp remained silent.

The Jingzhou Army was originally high-spirited, but they felt that Xu Huang was afraid of them, so they all looked excited.

In order to prevent Xu Huang from sneaking out to attack, Liu Pan also ordered his soldiers to get into position and be vigilant at all times.

However, as time passed, the Jingzhou army who was waiting in full formation began to tire, and their mood gradually became depressed after the excitement.

Seeing that they had been shouting and cursing for a long time, many people began to feel tired and hungry, but the Jingzhou army still did not leave the stronghold to fight. Liu Pan had no choice but to retreat first.

Xu Huang sat in the camp, always observing the movements of the Jingzhou Army outside. When he saw that the Jingzhou Army had lost all its energy and that Liu Pan had already intended to withdraw, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

"Open the village gate and go to battle!"

But Liu Pan saw that the morale of his soldiers was gradually declining, and when he was about to withdraw his troops, he suddenly saw the enemy camp open, and about a thousand well-equipped soldiers rushed out.

"Little Liu Pan, come forward and lead me to death!"

Gao Shun raised the spear in his hand, pointed at Liu Pan from a distance, and shouted sternly.

"Little Liu Pan, come forward and lead me to death!"

A thousand soldiers from the trapped camp banged their shields in unison and shouted in unison, like a huge thunder exploding, frightening many Jingzhou soldiers who were already slacking off.

Liu Pan took two steps forward on his horse, pointed at Gao Shun and shouted: "I will not kill the unknown person with my sword, but let Xu Huang come out and lead him to death!"

Gao Shun smiled and said: "You are a defeated general under General Xu. How dare you bark here?"

"I am leading a thousand men under my command to form a formation here. Do you, a defeated general, dare to lead your army to charge into the formation?"

Liu Pan couldn't help but became furious, pointed at Gao Shun and cursed: "Since you want to die, I, the general, will help you!"

After speaking, Liu Pan immediately sent five thousand soldiers and horses to attack the trapped camp.

In Liu Pan's view, even though this army is well-equipped, the number of troops he sends is five times that of the opponent. There is no conspiracy in the head-on confrontation, and it should not be difficult to win.

"kill!"

Five thousand Jingzhou soldiers charged forward with momentum like a rainbow.

Although their energy has been sapped and they are already a little tired, they can defeat the few with numbers at this time. If they can behead some people, they can also exchange for a lot of rewards.

Therefore, these Jingzhou soldiers also forcibly cheered up and began to charge forward.

"Fire arrows!"

Among the five thousand Jingzhou soldiers, there were some archers. Seeing that Gao Shun and others had entered the shooting range, the general in charge of charging the formation shouted sharply.

Upon hearing this, a thousand archers immediately stopped and began to bend their bows and set arrows.

If they were ordinary soldiers and horses, even if they were only fired by these thousand archers for a few rounds, they would probably suffer heavy casualties.

"Raise your shield and line up!"

Upon seeing this, Gao Shun commanded calmly and calmly.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

As soon as Gao Shun finished speaking, a huge iron shield was erected on the ground and formed a circle on the ground. Each iron shield was operated by two soldiers. There was a very strong bracket behind the iron shield. Even a dozen people could It's hard to push the iron shield.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

at the same time,

The soldiers standing in the center of the circular formation also held up another lighter wooden shield, and soon all the soldiers trapped in the formation were wrapped in the shield.

"clang!"

"clang!"

"clang!"

The arrows that hit the big iron shield made a crisp sound and all bounced off and fell to the ground.

"puff!"

"puff!"

"puff!"

Many of the arrows that hit the wooden shield above the buckler's head were directly embedded in the wooden shield, but could not penetrate the shield at all.

After three rounds of arrow rain, the entire circular formation formed by the trapped camp was covered with dense arrows, but no soldiers in the trapped camp were injured or killed.

Even if an arrow were lucky enough to be shot into the formation from the gap, it would not be able to penetrate the armor of the soldiers trapped in the formation.

"Stop shooting, the archers retreat, and the rest of the soldiers charge!"

The vanguard general of the Jingzhou Army who was responsible for charging the formation saw that the rain of arrows was useless to the enemy, and the soldiers had already rushed to the front. If he continued to fire arrows, he would accidentally injure friendly troops, so he had to let the archers retreat first.

"Cut off the arrows on the wooden shield, put them all down, replace the spears, and prepare for battle!"

The execution force of the trapped camp was extremely strong, and the soldiers inside quickly changed their equipment.

"kill!"

Five thousand Jingzhou soldiers charged, but they underestimated the trapped camp. This kind of light infantry had no way to break through the iron shield at the front. Instead, many Jingzhou soldiers were pierced by spears.

The two sides started a fierce battle, and before long, Jingzhou soldiers suffered hundreds of casualties.

On the other hand, no one was killed in the trapped camp, and only a few people were slightly injured.

The morale of these Jingzhou troops, who were barely boosted by money and rewards, saw such a huge disparity in combat effectiveness between the two sides and so many casualties on their own side, but they were unable to do anything to the other side, and their morale suddenly plummeted.

Everyone looked at the iron shield that looked like a turtle shell, and no one was willing to rush up.

When the general in charge of charging saw this, he held a spear and shouted sternly: "Charge with me, my guards, let's see if I break this formation!"

Relying on his own bravery, he took the initiative to charge forward with his personal guards. This move also boosted the morale of many Jingzhou soldiers, and they charged forward again.

"kill!"

The Jingzhou general rushed to the front of the formation, stabbed the gap between the two iron shields with a spear, and tried to open it.

"break!"

He roared angrily, but sadly discovered that the two shields only moved slightly.

You must know that the two iron shields are guarded by four strong soldiers from the trapped camp, and the brackets of the iron shields have been embedded into the ground. Unless they are fierce generals like Dian Wei and Xu Chu, it will be difficult for ordinary generals to break them.

"break!"

If one person can't do it, then bring in a few more.

The personal guards of the Jingzhou general also rushed to the front of the formation, stabbing at the gap between the two iron shields, trying to open them.

"prick!"

However, the trapped camp is a living person with amazing fighting ability. How can we allow them to do whatever they want?

Gao Shun gave an order, and many spears were immediately thrust out from the specially reserved holes.

"Puff puff!"

Many of the personal guards of the Jingzhou general were directly pierced by spears.

Even he himself was stabbed in the right leg.

"Protect the general and retreat!"

The rest of the guards shouted hurriedly when they saw this, and protected him and retreated back.

"Bowman, throw!"

However, how could Gao Shun let them go so easily?

At the command, the crossbowmen in the trapped camp immediately began to fire outwards. Many of the fleeing guards and the charging Jingzhou soldiers fell to the ground.

Fortunately, with the desperate protection of the guards, the man managed to escape with his life.

In this battle, although the trapped camp only killed hundreds of enemies, he suffered almost no casualties and directly repelled the first attack of the Jingzhou soldiers.

Xu Huang, who was watching the battle from behind, was shocked by the fighting power of the trapped camp and said to himself: "With such a tight formation and such strong execution ability, the trapped camp is really scary."

When Liu Pan saw this, he couldn't help but became furious and cursed: "What a waste!"

Liu Pan thought to himself: "Those soldiers all hold huge shields and wear heavy armor. They must consume their physical strength very quickly."

"I only need to rely on the large number of troops and continue to send people to harass them. It should not take long before I can wear them out and defeat the enemy."

Liu Pan immediately stopped attacking and instead adopted a policy of harassment.

Gao Shun quickly saw through Liu Pan's thoughts, but he was calm and ordered the soldiers inside to take off their heavy armor and wear only the leather armor underneath.

In this way, the burden of soldiers trapped in the camp is greatly reduced.

And because the outermost iron shield has a bracket, the physical exertion of the soldiers holding the iron shield is not serious.

Liu Pan wanted to consume the trapped camp's physical strength, but in the end he tired his own soldiers to death. He also had to always be on guard against the crossbow arrows fired by the trapped camp soldiers.

As time passed, Liu Pan was unable to attack for a long time, and his own side lost troops and generals. The morale that had been boosted by the heavy reward suddenly fell to the bottom.

Seeing this, Liu Pan thought to himself: "If even Xu Huang's 1000 men cannot defeat him, then all the soldiers will probably be even more afraid."

But soon, Liu Pan came up with a countermeasure, which was to rely on his own large number of troops to surround the trapped camp without attacking, lure Xu Huang out to rescue, and then surround the point for reinforcements.

Can't you defend?
If I don't attack, how can you defend?
　Damn it, what a shame. Over there in Xiangyang Tangcheng, one or two thousand tourists who bought tickets to watch the show gave way to eleven foreigners, and the show was postponed because the foreigners had not finished their meal, leaving so many tourists waiting.

　　I used to think that this kind of thing would only happen in places like SH, but I didn’t expect it to happen here too. It’s so shameful.

　　However, Tangcheng seems to be a film and television base built with a private investment of 16 billion when Chen Kaige was filming "The Legend of the Cat". I don't know if there is any local investment.

　　But the annual tourist card here cannot enter Tangcheng, and the tickets are expensive, so locals basically don’t go there.
