Chapter 459: Literary recruitment fell into a trap
"Report! General Wen and General Zhang's troops encountered the main force of the Chu army in a valley several miles ahead.
Now General Zhang is leading the troops to defend against the enemy. I hope General Wen will send reinforcements as soon as possible!"
Wenpin had been told by Zhang Wu's messenger that he was leading the army to chase into the valley. Wenpin made a prompt decision and decisively led the army forward, preparing to meet Zhang Wu and Zhang Wu.
Sure enough, after the army had marched a few miles, they received the second report from Zhang Wu's command.
This Chu army finally couldn't bear it any longer!
Knowing that Zhang Wu's troops were ambushed, Wenpin was not surprised but overjoyed.
As long as he knew the strength of the Chu army's main force, Wenpin's worries could be completely put down.
As for Zhang Wu’s safety?
Just kidding, how could such a brave general be stopped by a few scumbags?
"Okay! The whole army listens to the order, speeds up and advances!"
As long as the Chu army can be completely captured in this battle, Wenpin can rest easy.
From then on, whether it was to guard Runan and wait for orders, or send troops to reinforce Guan Yu to attack Yangzhou, it would be much easier.
"Report! General Wen! General Zhang Wu has defeated the Chu general with one against three. Now General Zhang Wu is leading his troops to pursue the main force of the Chu army!"
Just after arriving at the entrance of the valley, Wenpin received another report from Zhang Wu's command.
A brave general!
When he heard that Zhang Wu actually defeated the Chu army with one against three, Wenpin was filled with emotion.
Unexpectedly, there is such a brave person under his command, why didn't he find it before?
However, this is also good.
This martial artist was promoted by himself. No matter how high he reaches in the future, he will never forget his promotion.
"The whole army listens to the order, speed up and charge!"
Now that Zhang Wu had defeated the main force of the Chu army, Wenpin naturally had no doubts.
Only by arriving quickly with our own army and assisting Zhang Wu's troops can we quickly and completely annihilate the Chu army here.
After hearing Zhang Wu's achievements, the 50,000 Runan garrison led by Wenpin also had high morale and felt wind at their feet.
Now, it is the time to beat the drowned dog, who will not be brave? Who will not strive to be the first?
"Boom!"
The army had just rushed into the valley, and suddenly there was a loud noise from behind.
"What happened!?"
Attracted by the loud noise and looking at the billowing dust and smoke behind him, Wenpin felt a bad premonition.
"Hahaha! Wenpin, you fell into my Lu Shuai's trick!"
Without waiting for his subordinates to inquire, Huang Zhong suddenly burst out of the diagonal stab and answered all Wenpin's doubts.
Seeing Huang Zhong appear, Wenpin's head buzzed and he almost fell off the horse.
How could Wenpin not recognize this Huang Zhong?
This was Huang Zu's general and the number one general in Jingzhou!
Unexpectedly, Huang Zhong would appear here!
And what did he just say? A certain family fell into Lu Shuai’s scheme?
Lu Shuai? Who else can be called Lu Shuai in the Chu army besides Lu Meng!?
Thinking of this, Wenpin felt even dizzy.
Unexpectedly, Lu Meng actually led his army to come here. Has Yuzhou been completely conquered by him? Is that why there is no news from various states and counties?
Damn it! Damn it!
"The entire army forms an array to meet the enemy! Hold still, the enemy's soldiers are not much more numerous than our army. With General Zhang Wu turning around, our army will surely win!"
It is useless to talk about anything else now. The only way to get to the point is to stabilize the morale of the army and prevent the army under his command from getting into panic.
Moreover, because of the bravery shown by Zhang Wu before, Wenpin still had hope of winning.
Although this Huang Zhong is invincible in bravery, he is already old and frail after all. Facing this rising star Zhang Wu, it is still unclear who will win and who will lose!
"Zhang Wu? Is this what you're talking about?"
But I never thought that it would be better not to mention Zhang Wu. When I mentioned it, Pan Zhang, who came after him, threw a head full of blood at him.
Take a closer look, who is it if it's not Zhang Wu?
"You still expect this hot chick? Huh, he's not a play partner of the enemy who is a general, so why should he be called a general?
Before, if I hadn't fallen into the trap to lure you Wenpin, would you have thought that I, General Chu, would be so incompetent that I would be defeated by this bad guy?"
It’s over! It’s over! Zhang Wu, you misunderstood me!
The Chu army had faked defeat many times before, simply to dispel their own vigilance and make them think that Pan Heng's troops in Yuzhou were just a small partial force of the Chu army.
Now, Huang Zhong has arrived, and even Lü Meng of Chu State has arrived.
Is this still a partial division? This is clearly the main force of the Chu army.
"Breakout! The whole army breaks out!"
Now, the only one left with hope for Wenpin is Runan.
As long as we can break out of the encirclement and successfully return to Runan City, there will be room for maneuver in everything.
"Humph, I don't know what's good or bad!
Kill the sons of Chu!"
Seeing Wenpin's reaction, Huang Zhong waved his sword horizontally and issued a general attack order to the Chu army in formation.
The morale of the Runan defenders dropped crazily when they saw that Zhang Wu, the God of War in their eyes, was nothing more than a loser.
Now, Wenpin is here with them and is still leading the army to break through, otherwise the Runan garrison may have collapsed long ago.
"Charge! Kill Wenpin!"
"Chu Guoerlang, follow me and charge!"
"Da Chu, Wan Sheng!"
Because of all the previous false defeats, Pan Zhang and the others had long been filled with grief and indignation.
Even though Zhang Wu, the culprit, had been killed by Pan Zhang, this still could not alleviate the depression in the hearts of the three of them.
Now, only by desperately killing the enemy can we wash away the humiliation on our bodies.
If a soldier has no fighting spirit, he will have no fighting spirit.
With the Chu army's three generals leading the charge, the Runan defenders were unable to compete with them. In a matter of seconds, the Chu army had already charged them and their positions were in chaos.
Wenpin didn't bother to pay attention to the situation behind him.
Right now, the only thing on his mind is to break through the siege and return to Runan City.
You know, there are still 30,000 defenders in Runan City.
As long as he can return safely, the situation can be restored if he defends the city.
After fighting all the way and finally escaping from the Chu army's siege, Wenpin smiled bitterly as he looked at the Runan defenders with less than a thousand people beside him.
Unexpectedly, this formation would face such a huge defeat.
A certain family is probably the first one in the Han Dynasty to suffer such a tragic defeat after the war with the Chu State, right?
Obviously, Wenpin didn't know about Gan Ning's situation at this time, otherwise he might be able to find some psychological comfort.
"Kaicheng, I am Wenpin!"
Wenpin returned to the gate of Runan City in embarrassment and looked at the tightly closed gates. Wenpin had never felt so peaceful in his heart.
"Wenpin? I am Lu Meng, the left general of the Chu Kingdom. Are you willing to surrender?"
When Lu Meng's words came from the top of the city, Wenpin, who had been running all the way, finally gave up and decisively fell off his horse and fainted on the spot.
