Chapter 388 Conceal the sky and meet a strong enemy
As a rich second generation and the second generation of officials, Liu Pan does not have the pompous and luxurious spirit of ordinary darts. The title and wealth can be inherited. It is something outside his body, but his unique learning is obtained through hard and decisive blood and sweat training, and there is no shortcut at all.
Liu Pan has a simple temperament, and he respects erudite and talented people very much. Otherwise, he would not have become friends with the arrogant person You Heng!
Years of war have made him feel more murderous, and this murderous spirit makes him full of masculinity. He ordered the scouts to retreat, and then he left the generals and entered his tent. He looked at the military map and planned how to deal with the sudden robbers.
After thinking about it, the intelligent Liu Pan came up with a solution. But when he locked his eyes on Xiangyang City, he couldn't help sighing. There is a kind of sadness that can't be felt if it is not the person concerned.
At present, his father Liu Biao is old, and his physical condition is getting worse year by year. In such a situation, who will take over Liu Biao's position has become the biggest problem for Liu Biao Group at present. The romantic Liu Biao has a total of eight wives. Liu Biao is very hardworking in passing on the family: after years of cultivation and cultivation, he has ten sons and six daughters. Among them, there are three who may become successors: the eldest son Liu Qi, the second son Liu Pan, and the third son Liu Brown.
Originally, according to the secular rules, the eldest son Liu Qi could naturally become a successor. However, in terms of personal ability, the second son Liu Pan is full of literature and martial arts, and his talent is extremely outstanding, so someone recommended Liu Pan to Liu Biao as his successor. However, in Liu Biao's heart, he hoped that his third son Liu Yan would take over his position. Although Liu Brown is not as good as his eldest brother Liu Qi, and Wu is not as good as his second brother Liu Pan. He is idle and idle all day long, his appearance is very similar to Liu Biao, and his biological mother is Liu Biao's favorite wife. Therefore, Liu Biao prefers the third son Liu Brown...
There are external opinions and choices, and as the parties involved, Liu Qi and Liu Tan show strong words and deeds, but Liu Pan is indifferent to the performance of inheritance rights. This is not to say that Liu Pan is not self-motivated. This is what he likes to be quiet by nature and doesn't like to compete with others.
Houmen is as deep as the sea, and there are some things that Liu Pan can't control. In the game, just like people in the world, they can't help themselves. After all, half of the civilian military will support Liu Pan. Due to the dispute over inheritance rights, the three brothers used to talk and laugh when they met, but now the three brothers meet, they are already at odds with each other. Even if they laugh, they are the kind of smiling...
Family affection has become a stranger, and Liu Pan is inevitably sad. In the future, after the death of his father Liu Biao, the brothers may have to meet each other!
On the second day, another team of escorting grain and grass set out from Runan City to Xiangyang County. In the deep winter, it is difficult to collect grain. Fortunately, Liu Bei accumulated a large amount of surplus grain in the official warehouse during his stay in Runan City. The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants took advantage of the cool. In this way, it solved Liu Pan's urgent needs.
When the grain transportation team passed the "first-line" mountain road and continued to march five miles, the masked robbers appeared again. Like last time, the masked robber rushed up without saying hello.
In the face of more than twice as many robbers as themselves, 600 Jingzhou soldiers and soldiers were fearless. They surrounded 40 heavy trucks, armed with knives and guns, waiting.
When the masked robbers were connected with the short soldiers of the Jingzhou army, the oilcloths on the 40 heavy trucks suddenly opened. When the masked robbers saw that the truck was not food, but the Jingzhou army with bows and arrows, they began to retreat by themselves without waiting for the order of the leader.
Yes, Liu Pan used the trick of "hiddening the sky and crossing the sea" to deal with the harassment of robbers: the heavy truck was not loaded with grain, but soldiers armed to the teeth. Due to Liu Pan's team's full preparation, even if the robbers retreated in time, some robbers were shot by arrows. The wounded soldiers were rescued by their companions.
This detail was captured by Liu Pan, which shows that robbers are not ordinary robbers, but well-trained officers and soldiers. Because the robbers didn't say a word, Liu Pan couldn't tell where they came from by their accent.
After actually facing the robbers, Liu Pan realized in his heart that this group of unknown troops did not come by chance to plunder the grain transport team. They had been planning for a long time! What exactly do they want to do?
Liu Pan commanded his generals to chase the retreating robbers all the way. The robbers may be unscrupulous. They don't go to the sky, but get into the "line of sky." As the name implies, its road is narrow, only enough for a heavy truck to walk, and two horses ride side by side.
"A line of sky", looking from the outside, is the vertical "1" shape; if you walk in the middle, the two cliffs stand like knives and axes, if people look up at the sky, they can only see the horizontally written "one" sky. During this period, it was wet all year round, and the bluestone road was covered with moss. When ordinary people walked, they would fall backwards if they were not careful... Maybe they were unfamiliar with the terrain, and the speed of retreat of these robbers gradually slowed down. Liu Pan's army maintained a rapid pursuit speed. Very fast, Liu Pan himself rushed to the back of the robber's team.
Just as Liu Pan waved his knife to attack the robber closest to him, suddenly there was a deafening sound from behind him. He turned his horse back and saw thick smoke everywhere at the exit of the "first line of sky". In the deafening roar, the gradually raised pile of rocks blocked the entrance of the "first line of sky".
Such a scene suddenly made Liu Pan take a cold breath: he was ambushed! Just when he was a little panicked, the robber closest to him suddenly turned around, and the robber danced wildly and rushed to Liu Pan. The wild goose blade in the robber's hand, and its blade body is full of fiery red. This situation shows that the robber's martial arts cultivation is an innate realm. Generally, intermediate martial artists can do their best to make the knife body glow with a blade. Between "flowing" and "surge", the martial arts cultivation represented is a world of difference.
Seeing that he met a strong enemy, Liu Pan suddenly calmed down. He stared at the strong enemy and calmly faced the enemy with a Sirius gun. The Sirius gun and the tiger head Zhan gold gun are both from the hands of the smelting master Ou Yezi: the tiger head Zhan gold gun, as the name implies, is, the head of the gun is the shape of a gold tiger head, and the tiger mouth swallows the blade is cast in platinum, which is extremely sharp; the Sirius gun head is the shape of the golden wolf head, and the wolf mouth swallows the blade, which is a gold casting, and the cold light is dazzling.
Liu Pan came first, relying on the length of the treasure gun to block the attack of the strong enemy. The opponent's killing move in the face of locking his throat and using the Yanling knife to block and eliminate it can be avoided. One inch long, one inch dangerous." Although the robber's weapons are not as good as Liu Pan, due to the narrow battlefield between the two sides, the advantage of Liu Pan's long weapons cannot be brought into full play. For a while, knives and guns came and went, and the two fought equally.
At this time, the robbers who had retreated before also returned. They ran with the crossbow while shooting at the Jingzhou army. The accuracy of the strong crossbow is not as high as that of the bow and arrow, but its range and lethality are not comparable to that of bows and arrows. In addition, the equipment of the Jingzhou Army is shabby, it is just silk armor. The workmanship of silk armor is simple and rough, and only a few iron pieces are hung in key parts. How can such simple equipment block the shooting of strong crossbows?
After a few waves of shooting by the robbers, half of the Jingzhou army fell into a pool of blood. Because the battle between Liu Pan and the robber leader occupied the narrow aisle, the rushing robbers put away the crossbow and took out the iron hook from their waist. They threw the iron hook and accurately hung the iron hook on the tree trunk on the cliff. Then they crossed the top of the heads of Liu Pan and the robber head like apes and flew into Jingzhou. In the military.
At this time, most of the Jingzhou army was killed and dizzy. Before they could react, the masked robbers appeared in front of them like heavenly soldiers. The robbers raised their hands and fell, and every time they attacked, Jingzhou soldiers fell in front of them. For a moment, the sound of weapons hitting, the deafening sound of killing, and the howls of one after another, mixed into a roar of thunder in the narrow aisle.
The frightened Jingzhou army wanted to withdraw from the "first line of sky", but the five-meter-high pile of rocks blocked their way. Some agile soldiers climbed onto the pile of rocks and were about to move hundreds of pounds of stones. A dark shadow fell beside them like a big bird. They just wanted to look at the person who came, and then waved the gorgeous treasure gun, urged several black guns, and killed them in an instant.
At the same time, hundreds of robbers are sliding down from a cliff dozens of meters high by ropes. Those Jingzhou soldiers who were climbing the rocks saw their companions killed by the strong enemy in an instant, and the only hope of survival in their hearts disappeared in an instant. When they saw the robbers sliding from the cliff again, they were desperate. If it hadn't been for the well-trained training, and if it hadn't been for the general Liu Pan still fighting with the strong enemy, it is estimated that they had lost their weapons and surrendered on their knees at this time... Although they were in danger and they had lost their fighting spirit, there was a voice in their hearts shouting: they would rather stand and die than live on their knees! This slogan was imposed on them by the Lord Liu Pan, which is also the minimum quality of soldiers.
The surviving Jingzhou soldiers rely on the beliefs trained at ordinary times to eliminate their inner fear and despair little by little. Once they forget about life and death, they also burst out with a high fighting spirit. With the order of the surviving lieutenant, hundreds of Jingzhou soldiers shot arrows at the robbers who were sliding on the cliff.
They only shot the first wave of arrows sporadically, and the robber leader standing on a five-meter-high pile of rocks attacked them. At this time, the surviving Jingzhou soldiers woke up: this robber leader is also a super general. Two super generals led more than a thousand robbers to plunder the grain transportation team? How is this possible? Such strength, not to mention that it is in such a dangerous area as "the first-line sky", even in the open area, they can't get rid of the result of the destruction of the whole army.
This robber broke into the team of Jingzhou soldiers, just like a hungry tiger breaking into the sheep pen. Every time he made a move, dozens of Jingzhou soldiers fell under his usual gun. When hundreds of masked robbers slipped off the cliff, they immediately pulled out their knives to join the one-sided massacre. In this way, in less than a stick of incense, the robbers only paid the price of some minor injuries, and the surviving Jingzhou soldiers were slaughtered.
All this happened under the eyes of Liu Pan, the military commander of Jingzhou. These dead soldiers were trained by him. They have been getting along with each other for many years. He and his subordinates have the emotion of blood thicker than water. However, he was entangled by a strong enemy and had no chance to save his soldiers at all. He could only watch them be brutally killed by the enemy.
