"General, the scouts outside the camp didn't reply in time." In the Han army camp, Pang De was ready to rest when he received the report from his soldiers.

"How many have not returned?" Pound said with a frown.

The scouts sent out at night report every half an hour. Normally, there are sixteen directions, two in each direction.

"Four branches have not returned." The general bowed and said.

"Prepare!" Pound's expression changed. It was impossible for four scouts to return late at the same time. The biggest possibility was that something went wrong. No matter what, it was right to take precautions.

"Here!" The general agreed and quickly went to give orders.

The night patrol officers and soldiers of various departments quickly gathered in the direction of the Yuanmen, and at the same time a short whistle sounded through the camp.

I don't know what was going on outside the camp, but all the troops in the camp had quickly assembled. Lü Bu quickly put on his armor when he heard the police whistle. Pang De had already started commanding the soldiers to guard the camp. Ning came over and quickly stepped forward and said, "My lord."

"What's the situation?" Lu Bu nodded. All etiquette during the war was kept simple. This was his rule, so he didn't even go to worship.

"The four teams of scouts never came back on time. Until this time, the final commander was worried about alerting the enemy outside the camp, so he only used the warning whistle." Pang De said solemnly.

"You did a good job." Lu Bu nodded, looking at Pang De and said, "Since it is Ling Ming's awareness, then tonight's battle will be under the command of Ling Ming, and he will be the leader!"

"The end is here!" Gan Ning hurriedly took a step forward.

"Follow Lingming's command." Lu Bu looked at Gan Ning and said.

Gan Ning was a little unhappy. After all, he was on the same level as Pang De. If Lü Bu or Zhang Liao commanded, then he would be willing, but if it was Pang De...

Gan Ning looked at Pang De up and down a few times, and was somewhat resentful, but the military orders were like mountains, and Lu Bu had spoken, and he could only nod his head in dissatisfaction: "Here!"

Lu Bu naturally sensed Gan Ning's emotions, but in the army, military orders were the priority.

After Pang De received the military order, he quickly arranged the shooters behind the gate to determine the direction of the four scouts' disappearance to determine the enemy's position, but this may not be completely accurate. De also had a batch of arrows dipped in grease, which could be ignited by simply pricking the torches.

At this time, there was a sound of fighting outside the camp, and a barbarian army began to climb over the wall to enter the camp and **** the gate.

"Let the arrows go!" Pang De's eyes flashed with excitement. At the beginning of the battle of Baishui Pass, he broke his bones and was injured in Baishui Pass for half a year. When the injury healed, only Chengdu remained in the middle of Shu. In the battle of Shu, he naturally didn't get many merits, but Xu Huang and Jiang Xu made a lot of merits, and they all won awards, only himself, and only financial rewards.

During this southern expedition, Xu Huang was sent to guard the gate. In terms of qualifications and abilities in the military, Zhang Liao and Zhang Ji should be his Pang De. Naturally, he was unwilling to give up any opportunity. It is a pity that the barbarian army is too inferior. J, probably couldn't compare to Xu Huang and the others, but if he was suppressed by the newcomer Gan Ning, it would be unreasonable.

The appearance of Gan Ning and Zhang Ren gave Pang De a great sense of crisis. He was considered to have followed Lu Bu before he captured Chang'an. Lu Bu also regarded him very highly, but his performance in several battles was not too conspicuous.

There are Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Xu Rong, who are Lu Bu's trusted generals, and they are all outstanding in their abilities. It is difficult for Pang De to squeeze in, but there are also Xu Huang and Zhang Xiu at the same level. They are not far away. Ma Chao in Nanyang, Pang De did not want to compete with Ma Chao in his heart, but the new arrivals Gan Ning and Zhang Ren gave Pang De a sense of crisis.

Lu Bu's army is full of talented generals. If he doesn't have some eye-catching performances, he will be tied by newcomers like Gan Ning and Zhang Ren sooner or later. This is not what Pang De wants.

With Pang De's order, the cluster of arrows that had already been ignited burst out of the air and shot towards the outside of the camp. Countless rockets fell, tearing apart the darkness, and also completely exposed the barbarian army under the night.

Pang De stood on top of the arrow tower. Looking at this scene, he had already expected it, but he was not too surprised. He arranged soldiers in an orderly manner to start defending the city wall. It was indeed not suitable for the Han army to go out to fight under the night. It is weak, but in the case of alertness, the barbarian army wants to invade the Han army camp is also a delusion.

"Hold them down and try to capture the barbarian king until dawn!" Lu Bu came to Pang De and said to Pang De.

"Here!"

Fatty understood, nodded in agreement, and began to allocate troops. Some of the troops were recharged, and they only left the city to fight at dawn, but he had to coordinate the overall situation. Who would be the general of the charge?

Pound looked at Gan Ning.

Although Gan Ning did not resent Pang De's command, he also heard what Lü Bu said that someone was going to go out of the city to capture the thief's head. Seeing Pang De looking at him, he immediately raised his chest, this is possible!

"My lord, who do you think is feasible for capturing the thief's head?" Pang De withdrew his gaze and looked at Lu Bu.

After following Lu Bu for so long, Pang De knew of Lu Bu's ability. If Lu Bu wanted to make a move, there was no need to fight. No one was more suitable than Lu Bu, followed by Zhang Liao, but these two were not qualified to command. , so Pound can only politely ask the two if they have the will.

Naturally, Lu Bu couldn't compete with his subordinates, so he shook his head and said, "Since Lingming is going to preside over this battle, then who will fight, Lingming will decide."

Saying this, it has already shown that he and Zhang Liao will not participate in the war. Zhang Liao is already a general appointed by Lu Bu to guard the land of Shu, and he is not lacking in this credit. Therefore, Lu Bu directly extracted himself and Zhang Liao from it, which is also a statement. To stand up for Pound's platform, indicating that what Pound said was counted.

"Here!" Pang De turned his head and looked at Gan Ning, who was already looking at him, and said solemnly, "General Gan Ning!"

"The last commander is here!" Gan Ning took a step forward and said sternly, for the sake of merit, the last commander should be the last commander.

"You should lead your troops to recharge your batteries and bring them to the dawn of tomorrow. Listen to my order and leave the camp immediately. Be sure to capture the thief's head!" Pang De looked at Gan Ning and said.

Although there are many generals with the army, but not many have this ability, Gan Ning is undoubtedly the most suitable.

"Here!" Gan Ning agreed excitedly, arranged for the soldiers to return to the camp to rest, and fell asleep on his own, letting the sound of killing outside, Gan Ning's sleep was unaffected, but this ability was also quite let down. People are amazed.

Naturally, Pang De didn't know this. After arranging the counterattack, he mobilized the remaining troops to defend the main force. Lu Bu's 800 crossbows were only placed in the camp, and they were not used until the counterattack. , give the enemy a head-on attack.

Fighting at night is actually detrimental to both sides, but relatively speaking, if the chariots and horses fight during the day, the barbarian army will have no chance to fight back against the strong bow and crossbow of the Han army. In close combat, both sides suffered casualties. From this point of view, it was actually the Han army who suffered.

But it doesn't make sense to fight a war, only others suffer.

"Look, my lord!" Zhang Liao retreated to the second line, and asked the soldiers to lift the wounded down and treat them by a military physician. He came to Lu Bu with a **** arrow, and handed the arrow to Lu Bu: "This is a barbarian shot. The bows and arrows that come in are different from the previous bamboo arrows."

Lu Bu took the arrow and took a look. Based on what they had learned about the barbarians in the southern border during this period of time, at least they couldn't hit the arrow clusters themselves. It wasn't that the barbarians didn't have iron arrow clusters, but that the sophistication of this type of arrow cluster was the only reason for the barbarians. What the craftsmanship does not have is not as good as today's Guanzhong manufacturing, but it is not bad for the weapons of the past.

"There will be time to settle accounts with them in the future!" Lu Bu flipped the arrow cluster in his hand and placed it in the Shenji camp. This is definitely a defective product, but in Nanzhong, it is a magical weapon. No wonder these barbarians dare to It's because of someone else's help that he came to find fault so quickly.

Probably more than that.

Zhang Liao nodded, looked at the sky and said, "My lord, it seems that Lingming is enough to deal with it. Why don't you go to rest first?"

It's been a long night, and Lu Bu doesn't play in person. It's a bit boring to watch it all the time. Pang De's command doesn't say nothing, but dealing with a group of barbarians who know little about the art of war is completely crushing. Later, the field was big, how could it be deadlocked for so long.

When Lu Bu heard this, he nodded, it was really unnecessary: ​​"You should rest too~lightnovelpub.net~Here!"

The two of them went back to the camp one after another and slept in their respective fields. They were both veterans who were drunk on the battlefield. Naturally, such a scene would not cause any confusion for the two of them, and they soon fell asleep.

On the frontal battlefield, under the command of Pang De, the barbarian army felt as if it could be broken through at any time, and it was only a matter of strength. This was the feeling of everyone. Therefore, the barbarian army was under the command of the barbarian king. , One after another continued to attack the camp, and several camp walls were blown down, but the camp could not be completely taken down.

"These Han people are really tenacious!" Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, the Han army camp was clearly crumbling, like a candle in the wind, but even if it didn't fall, the barbarian king was also a little annoyed.

However, Yong Qiang felt that something was wrong. At first, it could be regarded as tenacious, but after staying for most of the night, he still looked the same as the beginning.

Seeing that the horizon had begun to light up, the darkness that enveloped the world was gradually being driven out, and Yong Qiang's unease began to grow stronger. The barbarians without the cover of the night were really no match for the Han army.

Seemingly reflecting Yong Qiang's thoughts, in the distant camp, there was a sudden humming sound, and a large number of crossbow arrows shot out from the camp, falling into the barbarian army in the eyes of everyone's astonishment.

At this moment, the barbarian army was rushing towards the camp in a crowd. Under such circumstances, those crossbow arrows hardly failed, and the barbarian army fell into a pool of blood like this.

The next moment, a Han army burst out from the gap in the collapsed camp, and the barbarian army was completely in chaos...
