Chapter 113: Uncle's Great Defeat (Part 2)(1/2)

Pang Juan, whose blood was boiling, couldn't help but feel excited, turned around and looked at the huge silk map hanging in front of him.

When fighting on the battlefield, you should know your own and your opponent, and you must not be careless.

Soon, it was completely dark. Suddenly, someone raised the curtain and Wei Jian was having a tray with a simple bowl of oatmeal porridge, three pieces of oil cakes, a little pickle, and a salted fish.

"General, I've been on the road for a day, eat something quickly." Pang Zheng put the tray on the table and called out softly.

"Well, okay." The aroma of oatmeal porridge attracted the hungry Pang Juan. He turned around and sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and ate it sweetly, without any intention of dislike the rough and simple food.

In life, Pang Juan has always shared the joys and sorrows with the three armies and never made special contributions.

"Report—"

Just as Pang Juan was halfway through, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside the tent, and some people screamed at the top of their lungs.

Pang Juan was shocked and looked up. A raid rushed in and said quickly: "Why are you so panicked?"

"Return to the general, big things are not good, Shaoliang is lost." Qi Ji knelt down on one knee and said anxiously with a look of panic.

"What!?" Pang Juan was shocked, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground, but he quickly came to his senses and said sternly: "Nonsense, this place is more than 100 miles away from Shaoliang. How do you know that Shaoliang has fallen? Do you know what the crime is to lie about military information?"

The scammer was startled and said quickly: "General, the villain dare not lie about military information. Please kill the villain to report."

"Let's talk about it." Pang Juan calmed down a little.

"Yes, yes." The scammer quickly replied: "The villain was waiting for several people and went out to provoke twenty miles. In the evening, he suddenly saw a large number of defeated soldiers in front of him. He looked at the clothes and flags, and they all looked like my Wei army. The villain rushed forward and asked, and then he realized that they were defeated soldiers from the front line and Shaoliang had fallen."

Pang Juan's face turned pale, and he felt a little despair: Is it still too late to hurry up? No, calm down, be calm, be calm, be the soul of the three armies, if I mess up first, then this battle will definitely be lost.

Thinking of this, Pang Juan took a long breath, his expression slowly calmed down, and said in a voice: "Where are those defeated soldiers now? I will ask them."

The scattered hurriedly said, "Go back to the general, we brought two of us back for inquiries. The rest of the defeated soldiers were still on the way, but we have already pointed out the location of the camp for them and we are expected to arrive here soon."

"Very good. Wei Zheng, go and bring people in."

"promise."

Wei Zheng hurriedly left the tent, and soon, he took two depressed soldiers with disheveled expressions and disorganized armor and walked in.

"The General, they are."

Pang Juan's eyes slashed and said angrily: "Bastard, look at how you two look like you two, so dejected, are you still like my soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty? It doesn't matter if you lose the battle. Did you even lose morale and dignity? You stood up straight for me, like a man."

The two defeated soldiers were stunned, with a look of shame on their faces. They quickly stood up with their chests and looked up, and finally looked like a soldier.

"This is almost the same." Pang Juan finally got angry for a moment. He always thought that the soldiers could be defeated, but they could not admit defeat. He snorted coldly: "Let me ask you, what's going on in Shaoliangcheng, why did he suddenly fall?"

"Return to the General—" A defeated soldier was about to kneel down and reply.

"Stand up straight, don't kneel." Pang Juan glared at him, and when he saw the two of them shrinking, he became angry.

"Yes, yes." The two defeated soldiers stood up quickly, and the man said carefully before: "Since Prime Minister Gongshu was defeated and captured, the remaining troops of our army retreated to Shaoliang City and Longtingyuan Great Wall under General Baning, and were preparing to defend the ferry to the death to wait for reinforcements. However, the Qin army besieged on three sides and attacked day and night. While defending the city, our army repeatedly reported emergency to Anyi."

In this way, I defended for half a month. Although there were heavy casualties, everyone still supported it with the encouragement of General Baning. At this time, I heard that the general was about to arrive with reinforcements. Everyone was very motivated and thought they would definitely turn defeat into victory and defeat the Qin army."

However, the night before yesterday, the Qin army suddenly dug tunnels and broke into the city. The Qin spies who were hiding in the city also set fires everywhere. Our army was caught off guard. After fighting hard in the middle of the night, Shaoliang fell and the remaining soldiers retreated to the Longtingyuan Great Wall."

"The Qin army chased and attacked the Great Wall. Our army was depressed and finally couldn't hold on. At noon yesterday, the Qin army broke through the Great Wall. General Baning saw that things were not possible, so he had to lead the army to fight and retreat, and retreat through the ferry bridge and retreat to Hedong."

"The Qin army sent troops to chase the Changqiao, and our army gradually disintegrated and fled. The villain waited for a day and a night to escape, but he dared not stop until he met the revenge sent by the general, so he could breathe. This is basically the case."

Pang Juan's face was solemn when he heard it. From the lines of the defeated soldiers, he could clearly feel the cunning and ruthlessness of the Qin army.

This is definitely a difficult opponent!

"Okay," Pang Juan waved his hand and said, "Come here, take them down, arrange food and accommodation, and have a good rest."

"No." A personal soldier led the two of them down.

"Wei Zheng."

"General."

"I will order the order: I will send additional scatters and go out fifty miles to prevent the Qin army from suddenly crossing the river and attacking our army."

"promise."

"Also, the commander of the servant army: immediately set up a camp, prepare boiled water, wounded medicine, and food to gather the remaining troops. Then send people to go twenty miles forward to provide guidance."

"promise."

"Another order, officers above the commander-in-chief of each army should come to the commander's tent to discuss matters."

"promise."

Pang Juan looked at the kneeling rebuke on the ground again: "Take him down and reward each of them with two hundred dollars."

"General Xie." The scammer was very happy. Two hundred coins, but the harvest of two acres of land in a year was really a lot.

"Let's go." Wei Zheng led the scammer and quickly walked out of the camp.

In a moment.

In the tent, the generals who came to hear the news stood on both sides, and each of them looked very serious and uneasy.

Pang Juan slowly spoke, "Have you heard about Shaoliang's fall, have you heard about it?"

"I heard it."

All the generals said, "Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles away. In a blink of an eye, the bad news was already very circulating."

The Wei army was a little nervous.

Shaoliang's fall declared that Hexi was about to be destroyed. The Qin army was so fierce that everyone was breathing.

The 70,000 troops of Gongshu, plus the defenders of Shaoliang and Longtingyuan Great Wall, totaling no less than 90,000.

Such military strength is significantly stronger than Pang Juan and Duan Zhipeng's more than 70,000 people.

But even so, Gongshu Zuo was defeated, and he still suffered a crushing defeat. Now if they were the ones, would they win?

Once they are defeated, the Wei Kingdom will be in great danger.

For a moment, a pessimistic atmosphere called "failure" was filled with the tent, which was so suffocating.

"What?" Seeing that the generals were a little dejected, Pang Juan smiled faintly: "Are you scared? Are you ready to give up?"

"Of course not." Li Yu seemed a little stubborn: "The battle has not been fought yet, and it is not certain who wins and who loses."

Cuan Xiang also gritted his teeth and said, "Anyway, I won't admit defeat. At worst, I can fight with the Qin army."

"Is that true?" Pang Juan sneered: "I see that you are all stubborn, but in fact they are afraid of Qin's army."

The generals immediately looked embarrassed and a little embarrassed.

Pang Juan pulled out his sword and said lightly: "If anyone is afraid of the Qin army, then leave, I will not stop me. The parents, wife and children in the family are still waiting for you, and live well. However, even if only I am the general is left, I will go to the battlefield to let the Qin people know that there is still a real man in my Wei State."

The generals suddenly turned red.

Pang Juan's words made them feel ashamed. If they really escaped at the last minute, it would be a lifelong shame.

Even if you can survive, what's the point?

A man will be a hero in life, and will be a hero in his life, but he will be a hero in his life. How can he be like a useless person and die on the bed in old age!?

"General," Li Yu's eyes were red and his expression was a little hideous: "You are talking about it, insulting us! The Qin army is nothing. When I, Wei army, beat them, was like playing, and now I, Li Yu, are not afraid of them. Not to mention that the Qin army only has more than 100,000, even if it is more than 200,000 or more than 300,000, what's the fear?"

Cuan Xiang was even more ruthless. Suddenly, he drew his sword and cut off his little finger with one sword. He said sternly: "How can a man from Wei State escape in the battle? I, Cuan Xiang, swear to the point of not breaking the Qin army."

"Fight with the Qin army and swear to destroy the Qin army."

The generals also had their eyes red and howled wildly. Everyone seemed to be lonely wolves who were suffering from wolves and were in desperate situations.

For a moment, the pessimism and depression in the tent were wiped out, and some were just the crazy fighting spirit and bloodthirsty desire.

It has to be said that Pang Juan is worthy of being a natural talent and has an innate agitation ability.

"Okay!" Pang Juan also slapped the table and said sternly: "You are really worthy of being the good men of our Wei Kingdom. Let the Qin people take a look. It's nothing to be arrogant for a while. If you want to destroy our Wei Kingdom, they are still far from winning!"

"It will win!"

"It will win!"

...

Pang Juan raised his arms and shouted, and the generals immediately echoed wildly.

Pang Juan walked to the middle of the commander's tent, stretched out his hand, and said with a sincere look: "The enemy is in front of you. If you want to win, our army must be united. Here, I would like to ask you to give me full trust, and Pang will also repay you with victory. If you lose the battle, I, Pang Juan, will definitely die before you. How about?"

"General, I trust you."

Without saying a word, Li Yu came up and put his hand on Pang Juan's hand.

"General, we trust you too."

All the generals also put their hands on them. The outstanding performance of the battle in Feiyi and the calm and confident that they are now in danger made Pang Juan conquer everyone.

Seeing this, Pang Juan smiled and said with great enthusiasm: "The so-called 'all hearts are united, Mount Tai will move.' As long as we are united, our country of Wei will definitely be able to overcome this level. Now, everyone will return to their own positions, encourage morale, renovate their troops, and prepare for a decisive battle with the Qin army."

"promise."

The generals called for approval, and they returned to the camp to not mention it.

Pang Juan also walked out of the tent and headed straight to the back camp.
