"Liu Bei can't help but fight?"

After receiving the battle report from Gao Shun and Jiang Qin, Lu Su was surprised and felt a little regretful when he received the battle report from Gao Shun and Jiang Qin. He learned that they had won the more with less defeat and severely damaged the main force of the Zhongshan Army led by Liu Bei. He felt that he was a little regretful. If he had known this, he would have been less conservative in Yucheng. Wouldn't it be better to defeat Liu Bei directly, so as not to be so troublesome.

"Liu Bei underestimated the enemy. He would not be so careless when facing the governor." Xinpi said. He was also a little surprised, but not as regretful as Lu Su. The battle should not be too risky. Gao Shun and Jiang Qin can be defeated, but Lu Su cannot be defeated easily. It is better to be more conservative. "This Gao Shiping is not famous but has not weak strength. Not only can he fight and fight, but he is also first-class in capturing fights. There is no problem in commanding tens of thousands of people to fight. However, he still lacks experience in the war and has a slight lack of overall situation. This battle is a little anxious. If the rhythm can be adjusted in time, slow down and wait for the governor to arrive, the effect may be better."

Lu Su smiled slightly. "The flaws do not hide the merits, it is good to be able to fight like this. The opportunity must not be missed, and the times will never come again. After all, the few are against the masses. Since the fighter has appeared, we should firmly grasp it. But I made a mistake. If Zhang Wenyuan is arranged to assist him, Liu Bei will be doomed this time."

"Yes, our cavalry is still too few to catch up, otherwise the results of the battle will be even greater. Governor Liu Bei was defeated, and I am afraid that he will not fight easily. We have to prepare for a long-term confrontation."

"You can't be anxious this time, you must wait for Ziming to prepare." Lu Su stroked his short beard and pondered for a moment. "Sustain the offensive against Fenyin and hold Liu Bei back."

"This is probably a bit difficult. If Pei Han kills Gao Shiping's envoy, Gao Shiping will not spare him. Besides, Liu Bei has more than 10,000 cavalry, but it is not possible to defend Fenyin, so it is still okay to pick up Pei Han. In order to catch Pei Han, Gao Shiping will probably take advantage of the victory to attack Fenyin. Governor, we must be prepared to pick up."

Lu Su rolled his eyes and felt helpless. Two hundred miles apart, the connection between them was very lagging behind. When his order was sent to Fenyin, Gao Shun might have already started to attack the city. The attack was a matter of siege, and it was necessary to act in one go. If it was not defeated, it could only be turned into a siege, which had a great impact on morale.

As Xin Pi expected, not long after, they received a new army report from Gao Shun. They had surrounded Fenyin City again and were about to launch an attack on Fenyin. Immediately afterwards, the scout sent another message, Liu Bei withdrew from Mingtiaogang and went to Wenxi, and Zhang Fei, Zhang He and Wang Ling led more than 10,000 cavalry to Fenyin.

Lu Su did not dare to be careless, and after discussing with Xinpi, he decided to use the strategy of surrounding Wei to save Zhao, crossing Mingtiaogang, forcing Xiang Wenxi, and forcing Liu Bei to recall the cavalry. Before setting off, he ordered people to confiscate the property of the Wei family, land and houses, and to serve as officials and slaves, and sent someone to send a letter to Wei Ji. If he did not surrender immediately, there would be no Wei family in Anyi from Hedong.

When Wei Ji received the news, he cried bitterly and begged Liu Bei to send troops to retake Anyi and his family. He was worried that Liu Bei was not brave enough, so he went to ask Wang Gai. Wang Gai was not only the Zhongshan National Guard, but also had nearly 20,000 Bingzhou Gai, and his influence was beyond the reach of others.

Liu Bei didn't want to pay attention to Wei Ji, but he had to do some superficial work. Besides, Lu Su took the initiative to attack, so he had to be prepared. He discussed with Pei Qian and others. Although Pei Qian was worried about Pei Han's safety, Wen Xi was more important in comparison. He did not want Wen Xi's Pei family to have nothing like the Anyi Wei family.

Finally, Liu Bei decided to recall Zhang He and Wang Ling to fight against Lu Su, and only sent Zhang Fei to lead 5,000 cavalrymen to pick up Pei Han.

After Zhang He and Wang Ling retreated, Zhang Fei had to work cautiously. Although he had five thousand cavalry, Lu Su also had four thousand cavalry, with a small difference in number and equipment and training. He had no advantage. Wu Qiu Xing and Zhang Xiu followed the main force to Wenxi, Zhang Liao, and Pang De, but there was no trace. He had fought with these two people and knew that their abilities were not inferior to him. In case of encounter, he would not only not be able to save Pei Han, but also likely to be frustrated.

Zhang Fei sent many scouts to maintain speed and be ready to fight at any time.

Fenyin.

Gao Shun stood on the platform, overlooking Fenyin City, looked at Pei Han's figure on the top of the city, and raised the flag in his hand.

After defeating Liu Bei's main force, they surrounded Fenyin City again.

A hearty victory boosted the morale of Gao Shun's troops, especially those soldiers from Guanzhong and Liangzhou. They felt that there was no opponent that could not be defeated, so they actively asked for battle.

This battle not only captured a large number of supplies, but also captured thousands of prisoners. Jiang Qin suggested that Gao Shun turn these prisoners into civilians, assist in transporting siege equipment, and carry out local work before the siege. Gao Shun agreed. He told ordinary prisoners from poor backgrounds that no one was born to be someone else's unit. If you do these aristocratic families, you can't survive anymore and can only rely on the aristocratic families. Now Hedong is already a territory of the Wu Kingdom, and the new policy of the Wu Kingdom is implemented. As long as you are not lazy, everyone can live well. If you are willing to assist us in the war, after the end of this battle, those who want to join the army can join us, and all the conditions are implemented in accordance with the system of our Wu Army. Those who do not want to join the army can also be assigned to the land and live a peaceful life in the future.

These people came from Anyi with Liu Bei. They had seen the announcements issued by Zhang Liao on the way, but they were skeptical and thought it was the public opinion method of the Wu army. Now, after Gao Shun personally explained to them, even if they did not believe it, few people took the initiative to refute it.

These people have average combat skills and still have physical strength. With the encouragement of meritorious service and the encouragement of the fields when they go home, they work hard, and shout to the city. Pei Han also has many subordinates. After hearing the shouts of the prisoners outside the city, they are very moved, and the weapons in their hands unknowingly deviate.

In just one day, Gao Shun completed the preparations for the siege. The night was a celebration of the soldiers, which was both a celebration of the merits and a mobilization. He announced the rewards for the siege. Everyone who climbed the camp first was rewarded. The lieutenant and the chief lieutenant were recommended to be trained in the martial arts hall. Each of the military marquis and above was upgraded to one level. Whether it was to kill or capture Pei Han alive, the soldiers were rewarded with hundreds of gold. The soldiers screamed one by one, and almost fought in order to win the opportunity for the first battle.

While fighting each other, most of them formed an alliance, requiring Jiang Qin's subordinates and the camp to be unable to do so. They had already made contributions in the previous battle of Dongting and should give this opportunity to them.

After discussing with Jiang Qin, Gao Shun agreed happily.

Now, the time for siege has arrived. The morale of the generals is high and they don’t even eat breakfast. They vow to take down Fenyin and go to the city to eat.

"Occurrence!" Gao Shun shouted lightly and waved the battle flag in his hand vigorously.

The messenger shook the battle flag and issued an order. The catapult position under the city received the order and then began to fire. The mallet fell down, and the catapult's long pole raised, throwing bags of loess to the top of the city. The straw bag fell to the ground, the loess flew away, and smoke and dust rolled on the top of the city. There was no one on the other side. The soldiers guarding the city covered their mouths and noses with cloth, but they were still choked and coughed and could not open their eyes.

At the same time, the crossbowman stepped forward and shot the dense rain of arrows onto the city wall. The Wu Jun archer standing on the tower held a crossbow and looked for a target with a unique armor. He shot one by one, making no one with a certain identity on the city wall dared to show up and was in a mess. Pei Han was the first to bear the brunt. Under the protection of more than ten heavily armored guards, he shouted loudly and directed the battle.

After the three-way drum, two thousand infantry wearing heavy armor were divided into four teams, led by four commanders to the city to prepare for climbing the city. Eight teams were prepared behind them. According to Gao Shun's arrangement, they launched an attack on the time of the drum. If they could not get into the city in time and gain a foothold at the city, they had to withdraw from the position and give the opportunity to others.

This made the four commanders very nervous. They repeatedly ordered their subordinates to coerce and induce and make sure that they would succeed in a battle. No one would be willing to fall behind, and they would not be willing to fail to climb the city after a round of drums and be snatched away by others.

As soon as the drum sounded, the four teams of soldiers rushed out, climbed the ladder of the car, and launched a fierce attack on the city head under the cover of the crossbowmen. They were protected by two iron armors, and even if they were shot at the crossbow at close range, they were unlikely to die, and they could attack with all their might. Most people chose spears, some people chose double swords, and some even chose heavy weapons like maces. In short, they could use whatever they wanted.

The battle fell into heat at the beginning, and the troops all arranged the bravest soldiers at the forefront, in order to quickly open up the situation and gain a foothold on the city wall. Under the impact of these crazy Wu soldiers, the defenders on the city wall were almost frightened and retreated step by step.

Just halfway through the drums, four commandos climbed to the top of the city and stood firm at the top of the city. They formed a formation and fought, killing Pei Han from different directions.

Looking at the ferocious faces that were getting closer and closer, and listening to the excited roars, Pei Han was desperate. The news of asking for help was sent for two days. Pei Qian might have just received it for a while, and even if he sent reinforcements, he would not be able to wait. The Wu army attacked too hard and was about to break the city.

Pei Han sighed to the sky, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and committed suicide.

Pei Han died, and his soldiers lost their fighting spirit and scattered one after another. His personal guard wanted to escape with his body, but failed. He was intercepted by two teams of siege soldiers and chopped to the ground. Because the competition was too fierce, Pei Han's body was cut into pieces.

Fenyin City was broken, and the soldiers fulfilled their vow to have breakfast in the city.

Two days later, Zhang Fei arrived at Fenyin County, but heard that Fenyin had been captured by Gao Shun and Pei Han was killed. In desperation, he had to lead his troops back to Wenxi.

When Liu Bei heard that Pei Han was killed, he sighed and Pei Qian was even more heartbroken. Although Pei Han was a sect, he was a rare general. Now he died in Fenyin and was chopped into meat sauce by the Wu army. This revenge was conquered and must be returned twice as much in the future.
