When four troops from Jiangdong attacked Jingzhou, Lu Meng once thought that his victory was flawless. However, starting from Gan Ning's violent defeat of Jiang Qin, bad news came one after another.
At that time, Sun Jiao was defeated in the public security battle and retreated to Jiangling. The reason why he turned westward into the Juzhang River without any hesitation was not only due to his panic at night, but also had a lot to do with the rumors of the water battle.
Because of the insufficient number of warships, Li Yi was worried that he would not be able to break through Sun Jiao's defense line at the Public Security Bureau, so he deliberately created pressure on the other side with false pretenses. He threatened that Lu Xun would be defeated and Jiangxia had been lost. Now the main force of Lantian has landed in Jiangling and the Han River has been blocked.
Fully connected.
Although all four things are true, the information about Hanshui Ganning has not yet been grasped by Lantian. This is a "fake news" deliberately released by Li Yi with private information.
Sun Jiao's troops were constantly transferred by Lu Meng, and his fleet was now strong but weak. When he saw Li Yi's fleet coming from behind, he panicked. Those "rumors" made him lose control.
On his way to escape at night, Sun Jiao accidentally discovered a long line of torches from the trapped army. Seeing that the distance was very close to Jiangling, he did not dare to land to join Lu Meng. Instead, he chose to enter the Juzhang River and then go north to look for Pan Zhang and Zhu Ran's soldiers.
Horses meet.
The defeat of several routes in Jiangdong made Sun Jiao lose confidence in Lü Meng. He and Zhu Ran had a good relationship, so they made a mysterious operation. When they finally met Lü Meng at the Juzhang River, he was not optimistic about the people coming north from Jushui.
He made a detour and finally landed in Dangyang with his three thousand people.
At this stage of the war, Lü Meng's prestige was far less than before, and clan members like Sun Jiao were reluctant to listen to his command.
Sun Jiao proposed an independent idea and wanted to go to Zhangshui. Lu Meng thought that the other party could be a suspicious soldier, so he agreed.
Lu Meng's escape route was very circuitous and cunning. Although he hated the tail that could not be shaken off behind him, the most terrible thing was what happened when they crossed Jingshan Mountain, where they met Pan Zhang's army.
Pan Zhang and Lu Meng were old friends and had developed a friendship when they were in Jiaozhou. Meeting Lu Meng in Jingshan was not a good thing at all, because there were only a few hundred remaining soldiers behind Pan Zhang, and Guan Yu led the main force to the east of Jingshan to pursue him.
Lu Meng heard that Guan Yu's legs were almost weak. On the way to escape, he once had a fantasy, that is, he and Cao Ren attacked Guan Yu in Fancheng. If he could kill this arrogant old enemy, even if his mission in Jiangling failed, he would still have the honor to go back to Jiangdong to see him.
Sun Quan, but Guan Yu's appearance here was clearly prepared.
At this time, Lu Meng's head was buzzing, wondering who was targeting me? I always felt like I was living in someone's shadow.
Guan Yu's pursuers came so fast that Pan Zhang had no time to explain and fled with Lu Meng's army.
There are Su Fei's ships in the Ju River to the west, the towering Jingshan Mountain to the east, and Guan Yu's brave pursuers to the north. Jiangdong's soldiers could only run south in panic, but the trapped troops were already waiting in front of Ju.
The sun sets in the west, and the afterglow falls on the earth, shining with golden light.
Just when Lu Meng was feeling unbelievable, he saw the familiar and neat queue, and saw the soldiers who were fully armed and wearing heavy armor.
"Grand Governor, Guan Yu is chasing after us, how can we stop..." Pan Zhang's eyes were dazzled by the golden light midway through his words. When he saw clearly that they were trapped troops, he was briefly stunned, and then his whole face completely collapsed: "We are at the end of the road, we
It’s over…”
"Lantian, are you a ghost? Wherever I go, you will chase me?" Lu Meng pulled out his sword and prepared to charge with the Jiangdong disciples against the trapped troops.
The two stood side by side on horseback. Pan Zhang tried to pull Lu Meng, but accidentally grabbed the other's injured hand, which was so painful that Lu Meng almost fell off his horse.
Because the palm of the hand had been completely cut open and could not be resuscitated according to the medical standards at the time, Gu Li, on the advice of the doctor accompanying the army, directly cut off the severed palm connected to the skin on the back of the hand, leaving only two fingers on Lu Meng's left hand.
"Forgive me, Commander-in-Chief, it seems that Lan Tian is targeting you, just like Guan Yu is targeting me..." Pan Zhang was puzzled.
Lü Meng and Sun Jiao split into two armies at the Juzhang River. Lantian did not hesitate to abandon Sun Jiao and pursue Lü Meng. The situation with Pan Zhang was similar. He was first defeated by Guan Yu at Xian Mountain, and then he and Zhu Ran also split into two armies.
They fled for their lives, but Guan Yu and Guan Ping crossed the Jingshan Mountains with their main force, and asked the chief secretary Liao Hua to lead the troops to pursue Zhu Ran along the road.
The two victims each poured out their bitterness. After sharing the bitter fruits, Lu Meng asked Pan Zhang: "Now there are pursuers behind us and powerful enemies in front of us. We have reached a dead end. What are Wen Gui's plans?"
Pan Zhang snorted coldly: "What can you do? My lord treats me well. If I am defeated, I will die, and I will never surrender to the enemy. Why do you ask like this, Commander-in-Chief? Could it be that you..."
Lü Meng interrupted with a loud shout: "Wen Gui must be careful, am I, Lü Meng, a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? It's just that we have a lot of hatred with Guan Yu and Lan Tian. If we are caught by mistake, we will be insulted. I wonder whether I should commit suicide for my country...
.”
"Kill yourself? Isn't this too pedantic? Why don't you kill a few more generals to save your capital? I plan to return to my horse and fight Guan Yu to the death. Even if I die, I can't die at the hands of an unknown soldier. Why don't the governor come with me?" Pan Zhang suggested.
"Wen Gui is going to leave, and I am ready to fight to the death with Lan Tian." After hearing this, Lu Meng shook his head, thinking that if he went back to find Guan Yu to fight, he would definitely die. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, he fought head-on with the trapped troops in front, and maybe he could still escape.
possible.
"The Governor takes his leave. I'll see you in hell." Pan Zhang saluted with clasped fists, and then rode northward.
Because Lu Meng's left hand was injured, he couldn't return the gift with the reins wrapped around his wrists. He could only nod and greet Pan Zhang, saying in his heart that if you want to die, don't curse me. What if the governor can escape? At this time, hope is more valuable than gold.
Be precious.
After the two armies joined forces at Jingshan Mountain, they passively fought Guan Yu's pursuers twice, losing more than 2,000 men in the battle. At this time, Pan Zhang led his more than 200 cavalry back north, and happened to encounter them.
Guan Ping's vanguard.
Pan Zhang fought with the remnant army in a cornered battle, forgetting life and death so that their combat effectiveness soared. Faced with the powerful land capabilities of the Jingzhou army, they fought frantically in a one-for-one manner.
As the saying goes, killing one is enough, but killing two is enough. The Jiangdong cavalry who died in the battle died peacefully. Pan Zhang also showed his amazing skills. He rushed into the Guanping formation from left to right and killed three or four captains and generals in succession.
During the battle, there was a strong wind, and the sky full of sunset was instantly shrouded in dark clouds, followed closely by large snowflakes, densely falling from the clouds in the sky.
Pan Zhang laughed wildly in the wind and snow: "It's snowing, it's snowing."
"Get out of the way in front of me. I'm here to meet this Jiangdong rat."
A loud shout was heard from the crowd, and a young general leaped out of his horse with his sword drawn. He was Guan Ping, the eldest son of Guan Yu. His eyes were like a torch and he headed straight towards Pan Zhang.
"Young boy with a yellow mouth, you dare to chase me? Doesn't Guan Yu dare to come forward?" Pan Zhang shouted in the wind and snow.
"If you want to fight with my father, you are not qualified at all."
