Chapter 747: Karmic Cycle: Prisoner Cart Sends the Head
After Wei Yan led the Han army ashore, Pan Zhang, who was commanding the formation on the shore, hurriedly led his troops to flee back to the city.
too fast.
Pan Zhang had thought that Mi Yang might be able to break the barrier of the iron chain connecting the rivers.
Pan Zhang also thought that the Han army would launch an attack on Zhouling Port as soon as possible.
But what Pan Zhang didn't expect was that the Han army would be so fast.
Today's Han army is as unstoppable as a tiger or wolf that has been hungry for a long time.
The two bloody flags he saw before escaping made Pan Zhang terrified when he thought about them.
What to do next!
Pan Zhang, who was terrified, couldn't help but think about this problem privately.
At present, there are still several thousand Wu troops in Zhouling City.
With thousands of Wu troops, it seems that it will not be a problem to resist the Han army for a while.
What's more, Zhouling is not far from Gong'an. As long as he can hold out for a few days, he may be able to wait for Lu Xun's reinforcements.
But when this idea appeared in Pan Zhang's mind, it did not bring him much sense of security.
Perhaps it was because Wei Yan, who had a high profile personality, shouted a sentence after landing:
"The Heavenly Strategy is behind me, and I will fight for the lead with my sword. Even if there are millions of people, what can they do to me?"
It is understandable that Wei Yan could shout out this sentence. After all, his bravery did play a crucial role in today's battle.
It’s okay to be proud, but it’s not too much.
After he shouted this, it naturally gained the support of most of the Han army.
But what Wei Yan didn't know was that it was these words of his that were the biggest incentive for Pan Zhang to flee back into the city.
Because this sentence clearly pointed out that the main general who led the army to attack Zhouling Port today was actually Mi Yang!
Since the Battle of Gong'an, Mi Yang has focused all his energy on dealing with the Wei army.
However, the lack of contact for several years did not reduce Mi Yang's reputation in the Wu army.
Especially Pan Zhang participated in the Public Security War
There are thousands of Wu troops in the city, who may be able to resist Wei Yan, but can they stop Mi Yang?
Pan Zhang didn't dare to use his own life to guarantee such a slim possibility.
However, Pan Zhang did not dare to give up Zhouling City directly.
If Zhouling City was recaptured by Mi Yang, then the retreat of the nearly 100,000 Wu troops in Jingzhou would be in Mi Yang's hands!
He didn't dare to do this or that, which made Pan Zhang, who usually had a hot temper, become indecisive in an unusual way.
But what happened next in the city made Pan Zhang make a decision in an instant.
Zhouling City was a bait that Mi Yang prepared for the Wu army.
Naturally, Mi Yang had arranged many Siwencao personnel in the city in advance.
The disastrous defeat of the Wu army at the port could not be hidden from those in the city.
After learning about this, they quickly started to play their roles.
Gradually, just a few hours after Pan Zhang fled back to Zhouling, many misleading rumors began to spread wildly in the city.
Among those rumors, one was the most deadly.
"The Grand Marshal has arrived outside Gong'an City and issued an order that whoever can recapture the state tomb will be granted a title of nobility!"
When Pan Zhang heard this "rumor", he was so angry that his nose almost turned crooked.
How could this "rumor" be so true?
But Pan Zhang knew that now was not the time to pursue this point.
What’s important now is how to deal with the consequences after this “rumor” spreads in the city.
As everyone knows, due to Wang Hong's death, the people in Zhouling City were very dissatisfied with Wu's army.
In the past, the situation was on the side of the Wu army. Even if the people of Zhouling were dissatisfied, they would at most make a few complaints in private, but would not take any practical action to fight against the Wu army.
But now?
The Wu army had just suffered a major defeat, and Mi Yang, who had great prestige among the people of Zhouling, personally went to the outside of Zhouling City.
Under the influence of these two important external factors, it is unlikely that the people of Zhouling will continue to "helplessly serve the bandits."
What's more, there is a huge temptation to be granted a title of nobility.
With powerful enemies pressing in from outside and people with evil intentions inside, Pan Zhang really didn't know how to defend such a city.
Finally, after a fierce ideological struggle, Pan Zhang decided to believe in Mi Yang's ability.
On the night when the Han army just arrived outside Zhouling City, Pan Zhang led more than a hundred personal guards, secretly opened the city gate and fled in the direction of Gong'an.
Pan Zhang originally thought that his actions were quick and stealthy.
But when Pan Zhang escaped to a small path, a scene suddenly appeared around him, which frightened Pan Zhang so much that he fell off his horse.
With the sound of a drum, many flames suddenly appeared in the surrounding mountains and forests, illuminating the forest as if it were daytime.
And when the numerous flames appeared, what appeared before Pan Zhang's eyes were waves of Han troops coming out of the mountains and forests.
Not only in the mountains and forests, but also in the direction ahead of Pan Zhang, there were large numbers of Han troops appearing.
The real purpose of Si Wencao's instigation was not to allow Zhouling City to be breached from within by the Han army, but to cause panic in the hearts of the Wu generals defending the city.
The reason why Mi Yang asked Wei Yan to capture Zhouling Port as quickly as possible today was to increase the fear in the hearts of the Wu generals defending Zhouling to the greatest extent.
When the fleeing Pan Zhang was surrounded by a large number of Han troops, it proved that Mi Yang's strategy of attacking the enemy's heart was successful.
Pan Zhang, who fell off his horse, quickly struggled to get up from the ground.
After getting up, Pan Zhang looked at the Han army approaching him, and the panic on his face became more and more intense.
He didn't expect that even though he escaped so decisively, he would still fall into Mi Yang's ambush!
But Pan Zhang thought again, even if he didn't run away, could he, who was guarding an isolated city, escape alive?
Perhaps some things were destined from the moment the Han army broke through the iron chains across the river.
The person in charge of leading the army to ambush this mountain road was Wei Yan's deputy general Liu Yin.
After identifying the Wu army prisoners beside him, Liu Yin confirmed that the Wu general he surrounded was Pan Zhang.
After confirming Pan Zhang's identity, Liu Yin rubbed his palms excitedly.
Liu Yin, who was suddenly appreciated by Mi Yang, has recently been known as a lucky general in the army.
Originally, Liu Yin was somewhat dissatisfied with this title.
A real man should make a name for himself through his own ability. What's the point of relying on illusory blessings?
But at this time, Liu Yin didn't think so.
There is more than one mountain road leading to Gong'an from Zhouling, but it was on this mountain road where he ambushed that he met Pan Zhang.
If this isn’t a blessing, what is?
It feels so good to be blessed.
After rubbing his palms, Liu Yin walked forward, surrounded by his left and right, and shouted at Pan Zhang, who was still in panic, "Pan dog, you have been surrounded by our army, why don't you throw away your weapons earlier?"
Liu Yin's angry roar, full of energy, lingered in the mountains and forests for a long time.
His angry shout woke Pan Zhang from his panic.
Is that Han general trying to persuade people to surrender?
Thinking of the fact that he was Sun Quan's minister in the palace and that Sun Quan had always been kind to him, Pan Zhang felt as if he was insulted.
Considering the kindness Sun Quan had shown me, how could I possibly betray him?
This Han general is looking down on him!
But just when Pan Zhang wanted to refuse angrily, he thought again, he could die, but what about the more than a hundred guards who followed him tonight?
If he chose to be "captured" by the enemy temporarily in order to protect more than a hundred personal guards from being killed, although such an act was not in line with loyalty, it did demonstrate friendship.
I think people in the world will understand.
This situation is so similar to what happened to Yu Jin back then.
With Yu Jin as a good example, Pan Zhang quickly changed his mind.
He raised his head, quickly took off the sword at his waist and threw it on the ground, and at the same time ordered the more than a hundred guards behind him to do the same.
After finishing all this, Pan Zhang looked at Liu Yin and said:
"Today I am willing to surrender for my sons."
Pan Zhang thought that after he said this, Liu Yin would show some respect for him, but unexpectedly his words caused Liu Yin to laugh.
Liu Yin's laughter was full of sarcasm.
"When did I say I wanted to surrender you?"
Liu Yin's words made Pan Zhang stunned on the spot.
He subconsciously wanted to use Liu Yin's words just now to refute Liu Yin.
But when he recalled Liu Yin's words, he suddenly realized that Liu Yin did not mention the surrender in his words just now.
Liu Yin just asked him to lay down his weapon.
"If you don't want to surrender, why do you want me to give up my weapons?"
According to common sense, when the enemy asks you to lay down your weapons, isn't it just to persuade you to surrender?
Just when Pan Zhang was at a loss for words, Liu Yin tried to stop laughing and explained, "I asked you to give up your weapons just to make it easier for our army to kill you!"
"I just wanted to scare you, but I didn't expect you to throw down your weapon before you even heard what I said.
What's the point of our army coming to you, a coward like you?"
Liu Yin’s words made Pan Zhang furious.
Is there anyone who plays tricks on people like this?
However, no matter how angry he was, Pan Zhang couldn't refute Liu Yin.
Liu Yin's words were very psychological, but they were the facts.
After being angry, Pan Zhang subconsciously wanted to pick up the weapon that he had just thrown away on the ground.
But as soon as Pan Zhang moved, Liu Yin stretched out his hand and summoned the archers on the hillside.
The appearance of so many archers frightened Pan Zhang, who was bending over, so much that he stopped moving.
Under the threat of the Han army archers, Pan Zhang did not dare to stand up.
In this way, Pan Zhang appeared in Liu Yin's eyes with a posture similar to submission.
This made Liu Yin even more disdainful of Pan Zhang.
"Leave no one behind!"
Liu Yin gave the order in a cold voice.
When Liu Yin's order reached the ears of the Han army archers, the next moment the Han army archers fired hundreds of arrows at once, directly shooting Pan Zhang into a hornet's nest.
After Pan Zhang was shot to death by a volley of arrows, more than a hundred of his personal guards behind him fell in a pool of blood, howling.
When there were no more survivors around him, Liu Yin walked forward and personally chopped off Pan Zhang's head.
The news of Pan Zhang's death soon reached Mi Yang's ears.
Not long after, Liu Yin personally came to Mi Yang with Pan Zhang's head and reported to Mi Yang.
Looking at Pan Zhang's head in front of him, Mi Yang smiled.
It is estimated that few fans of Ji Han have a good impression of Pan Zhang.
And the way Pan Zhang died in this life gave Mi Yang a sense of cause and effect.
"You did very well."
Mi Yang praised Liu Yin who was in front of him.
Liu Yin, who received Mi Yang's praise, showed a look of joy on his face.
But what Liu Yin didn't know was that Mi Yang was not only praising him for successfully preventing Pan Zhang from escaping, but also praising him for his ability to change the enemy's mentality.
Mi Yang has always liked to bring out the best in people.
Mi Yang then said to Liu Yin: "Put Pan Zhang's head in a prisoner car and send it to the police.
Tell Lu Xun that I am here.
I came from Zhouling!"
