Chapter 119: It turns out that I am a fake import who is selling my head! My whole army is annihilated, and I am deserted by my friends and relatives. God wants to kill me!
Looking at the ambush troops suddenly rising from all directions and hearing Liu Bei's words, Xing Daorong and Liu Pan suddenly woke up.

Fell into a trap!
Xiao Fang had long calculated that when they were at the end of their rope, they would burn their boats and launch a night attack out of the city.

People also figured out that the target of their raid must be the food supplies in the West Camp.

So Liu Bei took advantage of the situation, stationed heavy troops in the granary, set up an ambush, and waited for them to fall into his trap.

"No wonder it was so easy for him to charge in just now. It turns out the big-eared thief was well prepared!"

"Kuai Yue, Kuai Yue, you fool, you have been tricked by Xiao Fang again!"

Liu Pan suddenly realized his mistake and was shocked and angry, cursing with gnashing teeth.

The fighting spirit of the Jingzhou soldiers on both sides suddenly fell to the bottom and they fell into panic.

Inside Liu Jun’s formation.

Zhang Fei was already impatient, and turned back to urge:

"Brother, how can these stubborn people surrender? Why waste time talking to them? Let's get started!"

Liu Bei was not a indecisive person. Seeing that the enemy had no response to his persuasion to surrender, murderous intent burned in his eyes.

He waved his whip and shouted:

"Pass the order, all troops surround and kill the enemy and annihilate them completely!"

The war drums are beating.

Thousands of archers took the lead in shooting arrows, and countless sharp arrows flew into the air and shot towards the enemy in all directions.

Arrows rained down, and the Jingzhou soldiers, who were still in panic, were immediately shot and thrown off their horses.

Streams of blood rose into the air, dyeing the night sky red.

Liu Pan finally came to his senses, brandishing his spear and pulling out his arrows while shouting:
"All troops, listen up! Break out of the encirclement immediately and retreat to Jiangling—"

Liu Pan turned his horse and rode away.

The soldiers of Jingzhou on both sides rushed towards the east like frightened birds.

Xing Daorong did not move.

He used his axe to deflect the sharp arrows, and a fierce look pierced through the blood mist and locked onto Liu Bei's location.

A bold idea suddenly popped up in my mind:
With my martial arts that can defeat ten thousand enemies, I cut off Liu Bei's head among thousands of soldiers!
All his efforts are accomplished in one battle!
I, Xing Daorong, will become famous throughout the world with this battle!
I will be the first contributor to my lord's recovery of Jingzhou and his turn of defeat into victory!

From now on, the position of the chief military general in Jingzhou will belong to me, Xing Daorong!
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Xing Daorong's eyes became bloodshot and veins popped out on his forehead with excitement.

So he roared, kicked his horse hard, and rushed towards where Liu Bei was with a big axe in hand.

"General Xing Daorong of Lingling is here!"

"Liu Bei, accept your fate!"

Xing Daorong, holding an axe, rushed towards Liu Bei like a gust of wind.

Liu Pan behind him heard the shout, turned around and was surprised to see Xing Daorong rushing towards Liu Bei alone.

"This man is known as General Lingling. He has the courage to defeat ten thousand enemies and his martial arts are unfathomable!"

"If he really took Liu Bei's head amidst the thousands of troops, wouldn't the situation in Jingzhou be reversed immediately?"

A ray of dawn flashed before Liu Pan's eyes, his heart rose to his throat, and he watched Xing Daorong rush away with full of expectation.

Inside Liu Jun’s formation.

When Liu Bei saw an enemy general coming towards him alone, his eyes lit up and a sense of respect welled up in his heart.

"In Jingnan, besides Huang Hansheng, is there another warrior as brave as this?"

Liu Bei was secretly amazed but hadn't opened his mouth yet.

Zhang Fei, who was beside him, had already rode out on his horse, snake spear in hand, to meet the attack.

"Zhang Fei from Yan is here!"

"Take my spear!"

With a loud shout, the snake spear in Zhang Fei's hand shot out with a force as powerful as thunder.

It's as powerful as a landslide and as fast as lightning.

Xing Daorong was startled, he didn't expect the opponent's moves to be so fierce, he quickly swung his axe to meet the attack.

The two riders passed each other.

Accompanied by a scream, a stream of blood splattered out.

Half of Xing Daorong's chest had been pierced, and his huge body fell off his horse with a bang.

"I have martial arts that can defeat thousands of people, but I can't even take one of his moves?"

"This is impossible, this is impossible--"

Xing Daorong fell to the ground and was seriously injured. The fear in his heart overwhelmed the severe pain in his body, and he screamed in grief and anger with gnashing teeth.

"General Lingling, I thought he was so great!"

"So he is just a traitor!"

Zhang Fei snorted disdainfully and stabbed down again with the snake spear in his hand.

Xing Daorong's head exploded immediately.

Zhang Fei killed the general with one move and wielded his bloody spear, charging towards the Jingzhou army like a killing god.

Seeing this scene, Liu Bei sighed:
"This man's courage is commendable, but his martial arts skills are too weak. He can't even resist Yi De's move. He really overestimates his own abilities."

After expressing his emotion, Liu Bei whipped his horse whip.

The archers stopped shooting arrows and the horn sounded immediately.

Tens of thousands of Liu's soldiers from all directions rushed towards the Jingzhou army in the encirclement like a tide.

The siege begins.

A dozen steps away, Liu Pan witnessed with his own eyes the scene of Xing Daorong being cut off his horse in one blow, and the expectation in his eyes instantly turned into horror.

"Xing Daorong had the courage to fight against ten thousand enemies, but he was killed by Zhang Fei in one move?"

"This man's martial arts skills are comparable to Lu Bu's!"

As brave as he was, his courage had collapsed at this moment, so he didn't dare to hesitate any longer and just ran away.

Ambushes were deployed on all sides and the Jingzhou army was slaughtered until blood flowed like a river.

Relying on his own courage, Liu Pan fought his way out of the bloody battle and finally rushed out of the camp gate.

All eight thousand soldiers from Jingzhou were killed in the siege, and less than a few hundred escaped.

"These are the only troops left by my uncle. If they are destroyed, how can we defend Jiangling?"

"Kuai Yue, Kuai Yue, you have caused your uncle so much trouble..."

Liu Pan was filled with anger and rage, so he urged his horse to rush back to Jiangling and kill Kuai Yue to vent his anger.

Before they could take a few steps, there was a sudden roar of thunder and they saw cavalry coming from the side like a torrent.

Xiliang Cavalry!

It was the Xiliang cavalry led by Zhang Xiu that came.

Liu Pan was horrified, obviously not expecting that Liu Bei had ambushed troops here.

Just when he was at a loss as to what to do, Zhang Xiu had already mounted his horse and rushed towards him with his spear.

A heavy gun in his hand came at him with the force of thunder and rain. Liu Pan suddenly woke up and raised his gun to block it.

The spear has not yet been fired, but the cold light has already arrived.

"puff!"

The heart was pierced.

Liu Pan screamed, flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

"Under Liu Bei's command, there is Xiao Fang, who is a master of strategy and tactics, and all his generals are like Lu Bu. How can my uncle not be defeated? How can he not be defeated——"

Liu Pan let out a mournful howl toward the sky, then his body suddenly twitched and he died.

Inside the camp, blood flowed like a river.

Half an hour later.

The sounds of killing finally died down, and the blood mist gradually settled.

Of the 8,000 Jingzhou troops, more than half were killed or wounded, and the rest lay on the ground in surrender.

It was not until this time that Xiao Fang spurred his horse, whipped it, and appeared on the battlefield of Xiying yawning.

"Military Advisor, everything is just as you expected. Liu Biao has really burned his boats and is coming out in full force to attack our West Camp!"

"In this battle, our army wiped out 8,000 enemies and won a great victory."

Liu Bei had a smile on his face, unable to conceal his joy.

Xiao Fang put away his sleepiness, raised his whip, and pointed in the direction of Jiangling with a smile:

"We lost this battle. Liu Biao only has about a thousand soldiers left in Jiangling City. He is no longer able to fight."

"My lord, let's take advantage of the victory to attack the city and capture Jiangling in one fell swoop."

Liu Bei's heroic spirit burned wildly, he pointed his sword at Jiangling and shouted:
"Pass the order down, all the troops will march out together, and take Jiangling in one go!"

The drums of war sounded again.

The generals, who were still not satisfied with the killing, immediately led their troops out of the camp like a tide and attacked towards Jiangling.

"Aliang, Yuanzhi, I'm going to go back and take a nap. Call me after the lord takes Jiangling..."

Xiao Fang yawned, turned his horse around and left lazily.

Xu Shu opened his eyes wide and watched Xiao Fang leave in surprise.

"With such a great battle ahead and Jiangling about to be conquered, how can Military Advisor Xiao still sleep?"

Xu Shu looked back at Xiao Fang and asked Zhuge Liang in a low voice.

Zhuge Liang was used to it and smiled faintly:
"My brother-in-law said that the two most important things in life are eating and sleeping. Even if the sky falls, you have to eat and sleep well first."

"Yuanzhi, don't make a fuss. You'll get used to it slowly."

After saying this, Zhuge Liang seemed to be infected by Xiao Fang and couldn't help yawning.

"No, I'm a little sleepy."

"I'm going to go back and take some sleep too. When the lord takes Jiangling, Yuanzhi, remember to call us..."

Zhuge Liang gave a few casual instructions, then walked away yawning, leaving Xu Shu alone.

"Even if the sky falls, you still need to eat and sleep well first, right?"

"This Military Advisor Xiao is truly an unpredictable god."

"And his brother-in-law is really different..."

Xu Shu looked at the two men's departing backs, sighing with emotion.

...

Inside Gangneung City.

Liu Biao was nervous as he stared at the West Camp where flames were shooting up into the sky, and listened attentively to the rumbling sounds of killing.

Obviously, a fierce night attack was underway.

"If this plan succeeds, Liu Bei's food and grass will be burned, and he will have no choice but to retreat to Xiangyang in disgrace."

"Then I will have a chance to catch my breath. First I will deal with the traitor Huang Zhong, then I will seize Huang Zu's Jiangxia troops, and then I will be able to regroup."

"In half a year at most, I will lead my army northward, retake Xiangyang, and drive those weavers and shoe sellers back north of the Han River..."

Liu Biao's mind was full of thoughts, and he had begun to outline a blueprint for the future, and a long-lost confidence appeared on his face.

Kuai Yue quietly stepped aside and whispered to his nephew Kuai Jun:
"Hurry up and tell my Kuai clan to prepare. If the situation changes, immediately leave the city through the water gate and retreat to the river."

Kuai Jun was stunned for a moment, then he understood what his uncle meant.

Kuai Yue was afraid of losing the battle today and losing Jiangling, so he wanted to hide it from Liu Biao and prepare to escape in advance.

"The fighting has already begun in the enemy camp. Uncle's brilliant plan must have been successful. Why bother with this?"

Kuai Jun looked puzzled and asked in a low voice.

Kuai Yue glanced at Liu Biao, pulled his nephew aside and said:
"Of course, my uncle's plan has a great chance of success, but Xiao Fang is so cunning that he cannot be judged by common sense."

"If something happens, no matter what, we must first protect our Kuai family—"

The words are not finished yet.

Suddenly a soldier screamed, "The troops are coming back! The troops are coming back!"

The guards along the city line immediately became nervous and all stuck their heads out to look around.

Kuai Yue had no time to tell his nephew anything else. He took a few steps forward, stood side by side with Liu Biao, and looked towards the west.

In the darkness of night, there were indeed teams of people coming towards the west gate.

When we were close to the city, we could see it clearly with the help of the fire on the top of the city.

The flags were gone, the armor was in disarray, and they were terrified...

It was clearly a sign of a great defeat.

On the top of the city wall, there was a sudden sound of panic.

The expectation on Liu Biao's face collapsed in an instant, replaced by endless astonishment.

"Pan'er and the others actually lost?"

"Is this the end of my last eight thousand soldiers?"

"God wants to destroy me, Liu Biao. Does God want to destroy me, Liu Biao?"

Liu Biao froze in place, muttering to himself in a trembling voice. He seemed to have lost his soul and fell into a trance.

"Uncle, our army was defeated. Your plan was unexpectedly..."

Kuai Jun was panicked and horrified, and looked at Kuai Yue with an expression of disbelief.

"Could it be that Xiao Fang again anticipated my plan?"

Kuai Yue froze in place, his face twisted with grief, anger, despair and bitterness.

After being in a trance for a long time, he let out a long breath and let out a helpless sigh.

"Liu Jingsheng, Liu Jingsheng, I have tried my best. It is God who wants to help Liu Bei seize your foundation. I am powerless..."

Afterwards, he suppressed his emotions, pulled his nephew up, and quietly retreated to the city while Liu Biao was still in despair.
