Zhou Yu's 30,000 troops advanced by land and water, and they reached Haihun within a day.
The army was recuperating in the city, when spies from the front came to report that Zhuge Liang had led eight thousand troops to guard Liling.
In the camp, Zhou Yu said:"I heard that Zhuge Liang is known as Wolong and has the talent to navigate the world. Liu Jue was able to defeat Cao Ren before because of his and Pang Tong's advice."
Pan Zhang smiled slightly and said:"Captain, don't worry, Zhuge Liang can't. Confucian scholar, as soon as my 30,000-strong army arrives at Liling, it will only be a matter of time before we capture the city. At that time, I will capture Zhuge Liang alive to see what kind of face he has, and say that he has talents in the world."
But Zhou Yu frowned and said,"The war is imminent. We must not take it lightly. Since Zhuge Liang is famous, he must have some abilities!"
Dong Xi said:"Whether Zhuge Liang is not worthy of his name or not, when we arrive at Liling City, we will know how much he is worth."
"makes sense!"Zhou Yu nodded and said to Pan Zhang:"Wen Gui, you immediately clear the way for the three thousand vanguard troops. I will lead the army and come later."
"Here!"Pan Zhang promised loudly and immediately got up and left the camp.
Soon, Pan Zhang summoned three thousand vanguard troops, pulled up the camp and set off towards Liling.
The elite soldiers cleared the way in front, built roads and bridges along the way, and the soldiers behind escorted them. Food and grass.
Pan Zhang was wearing armor and holding a spear in his hand. He looked majestic. He looked at his soldiers with a proud look in his eyes.
Pan Zhang was very satisfied with his soldiers, regardless of whether Whether it is momentum or spirit, they can be called elites.
As the saying goes: One courage, two strength and three kung fu.
In Pan Zhang's view, the most important thing for soldiers is morale. As long as the morale is still there, they can compete with the enemy..
If the morale of an army is gone, then no matter how superb the fighting skills are, the combat effectiveness will not be much higher. Therefore, Pan Zhang can often win battles and is a fierce general who can fight more with less. He is called"Jiang Biao". It's not unreasonable to say"Tiger Minister".
This time, Pan Zhang took the initiative to ask for orders to serve as a pioneer. He also wanted to see if Li Ling could be captured before Zhou Yu and others came.
Even if Li Ling could not be captured, he could win a small victory. A single battle can dampen the local spirit and at the same time boost our morale.
Pan Zhang was very dissatisfied with Liu Jue, thinking that he was able to defeat Zhou Yu first and then capture Cao Ren, not because of good luck.
Just say that he defeated Cao Ren. This time, in Pan Zhang's view, Liu Jue's plan could be seen through at a glance, and Cao Ren actually fell for it, which was simply stupid.
As for Zhou Yu that time, it was just opportunistic. Who would have thought that Liu Jue would sneak up from behind?
Pan Zhang Thinking this in his mind, he couldn't help but feel a little pity, because this time Liu Jue was not in Chaisang, but went to Changsha to quell the chaos, otherwise he would have to capture Liu Jue alive. In Liling City, there was no one in the city at this time, Zhuge Liang had already So he moved all the people in the city to Chaisang.
Zhuge Liang naturally had his own motives for doing this. Fortunately, there were not many people, so the move was completed in a few days.
At this time, in the county magistrate's office, Zhuge Liang received a report from the spies that the vanguard from Jiangdong had come towards Liling.
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said to Yang Jiye beside him:"Marquis Yang, you lead four thousand elite soldiers and come with me to Jiuxianling to ambush"
"Here!"Yang Jiye promised loudly. After returning from Shaxian last time, he was promoted to the rank of military commander.
Jiuxianling is very close to Liling, only a dozen miles away, and it can be reached in the blink of an eye on horseback.
Zhuge Liang led the army to Jiuxianling After that, he said to Yang Jiye:"You take three hundred cavalry to harass the vanguard of the Jiangdong Army. If they pursue you, you must not be willing to fight. They will definitely not be able to catch up with you with their food, grass and baggage.""
Yang Jiye is not a fool. He immediately understood Zhuge Liang's intention and said quickly:"I will do it now."
After a while, Yang Jiye set off with three hundred cavalry.
Pan Zhang was at a creek and ordered his soldiers to build a pontoon bridge. Just halfway through the construction of the pontoon bridge, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves and couldn't help but tensed up.
He saw In the distance, hundreds of cavalrymen were galloping, coming menacingly.
"Enemy attack!"Pan Zhang roared, and his soldiers reacted immediately. The archers began to shoot arrows at the group of cavalry.
Swish, swish, swish!
Seeing the rain of arrows falling, the hundreds of cavalry quickly stopped at a safe distance. They came down.
The leading young general was Yang Jiye. He pointed his sword at Pan Zhang and shouted loudly:"Wu, that enemy general, dare to come forward and fight me?"
Pan Zhang saw a young general on the other side and dared to challenge him. He immediately jumped on his horse and cursed loudly:"Where did this young general come from? Hurry up and tell me your name. My men, Pan Zhang, will not kill unknown people! Yang
Jiye laughed loudly and said,"I am a military commander under the prefect of Jiangxia, and so is Yang Jiye!""
"A young military commander dares to be so presumptuous and court death! Pan Zhang was immediately furious. He gave an order and led hundreds of soldiers to rush towards Yang Jiye.
Yang Jiye laughed loudly, took off his big bow, nocked an arrow and shot at Pan Zhang.
The arrow was accurate and hard, and Pan Zhang He was so startled that he hurriedly lay down on the horse, and then heard the sound of an arrow entering his flesh from behind.
Pan Zhang quickly looked back, but it was a cavalryman behind him who was shot in the neck by the arrow. I don’t know whether I will live or die when I fall off my horse.
"let's go!"Yang Jiye smiled again, led three hundred troops, reined in his horse and turned around to leave.
"Where to run?"Pan Zhang was shocked and angry. He didn't expect a military commander to have such archery skills. When he saw that the opponent was about to run, he immediately chased after him, but he was on guard against the opponent's sudden cold arrow.
Who knew that the opponent was extremely fast? Pan Zhang chased for two miles, and gradually lost track of him.
At this moment, Pan Zhang suddenly remembered something, and suddenly cold sweat broke out on his head, and he quickly ordered his men to stop.
An Army Sima beside him asked :"Colonel Pan, why don't you pursue me?"
"This must be a trick to lure the enemy. There must be an ambush ahead. If we continue to chase, we will fall into the opponent's trap. Pan Zhang glanced ahead and said to his soldiers:"Let's go back quickly!""
"Here!"When everyone heard Pan Zhang's words, they all felt that it was very reasonable, and they couldn't help but secretly thought that it was very dangerous.
"The captain was really wise and saw through the enemy's plot at a glance."The Army Sima just said flatteringly
"How can this little trick be hidden from my eyes?"After hearing this, Pan Zhang couldn't help but laugh, feeling very proud in his heart.
