"Cao Ren, you set a fire? What a coward! "
Guan Yu sneered at Cao Ren.
Cao Ren was dumbfounded.
I didn't set the fire!
It can't be Zhang Liao, right?
But Zhang Liao was right next to me.
Then who set the fire?!
At this moment, a shout came from not far away.
"General Guan, Advisor Pang ordered me to set up an ambush here. Please follow me and break out!"
Guan Yu was stunned for a moment before his face lit up with joy.
This familiar voice belonged to Chen Dao!
He didn't expect Pang Tong to bring Chen Dao here!
Guan Yu was overjoyed and increased the strength in his hands.
Speaking of which, when Pang Tong was about to reach Fan City, he noticed the movements of the Cao Army.
These Cao soldiers were in full swing in the forest, making their preparations.
Pang Tong immediately guessed that they were trying to trap Guan Yu!
Pang Tong couldn't help but laugh at this clumsy trick.
Thus, Pang Tong ordered his men to secretly spread grease all over the forest.
Once the fire was lit, the Cao Army would be wrapped up in flames!
At this moment, Guan Ping also realized that something was wrong. He hurriedly ordered Guan Yu to lead the troops out of the city and rush into the forest. They were almost here.
In an instant, the two forces rushed into the forest. With the fire, the Cao Army was almost completely slaughtered!
Seeing this, Cao Ren was dumbfounded. He stood on the horse in a daze.
He knew that he was done for this time.
Zhang Liao saw this and quickly shouted, "Listen up!
"Generals, heed my orders! Escape from the forest! We will leave towards the south! "
Only with this loud shout did Cao Ren wake up from his daze.
Cao Ren didn't hesitate. He quickly led his men and followed Zhang Liao out of the forest.
Zhang Liaoyi had already prepared an escape route for himself.
Otherwise, the Cao Army would have been wiped out in the forest.
But even so, only half of the soldiers managed to escape. The rest were still fighting in the forest, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.
Originally, there were more than 70,000 soldiers, but now, there were only about 40,000 left!
The rest were either burned to death or killed in the chaotic battle. The rest were all captured.
"Hahahahaha, Military Advisor is really a god!"
"Thank you, Military Advisor!"
Looking at the corpses and captives of the Cao Army, Guan Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Hearing Guan Yu's thanks, Pang Tong let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, when he was running towards Fan City, he happened to run into Cao Ren setting up the array.
With this contribution, he wouldn't return empty-handed.
Guan Yu was saved. As for Zhang Fei, it was hard to say if Bai Feng would kill him.
Pang Tong could only pray that Bai Feng would let Zhang Fei live.
Pang Tong did not act arrogantly. Instead, he bowed and said,
He bowed and said, "General Guan, don't thank me. I am sorry!"
Guan Yu was dumbfounded.
What did you do wrong?
How many times have we met?
Pang Tong saw this and told him about the defeat at Dangyang Bridge and how Zhang Fei was captured.
The smile on Guan Yu's face froze.
Zhang Fei was Guan Yu's third brother. Other than Liu Bei, he was the person Guan Yu cared about the most.
Now that he was captured by the Cao Army and his fate was unknown, how could Guan Yu be at ease?
Moreover, Zhang Fei was different from Guan Yu. Zhang Fei was very straightforward and often scolded.
What if Bai Feng was annoyed and wanted to kill him?
However, Guan Yu was very rational and didn't blame Pang Tong.
In fact, he couldn't blame Pang Tong.
It was Zhang Fei's arrogance and irritable temper that caused him to fall into Bai Feng's trap.
Moreover, Bai Feng's plan wasn't something that ordinary people could think of.
Who would have thought that Bai Feng would use such a strange move after learning about the siege?
"Military Advisor, don't blame yourself. This matter isn't entirely your fault."
"Let's reorganize and go defeat Bai Feng and save third brother!"
Guan Yu wasn't confident when he said this.
Whether or not they could defeat Bai Feng was another matter.
The hope of rescuing Zhang Fei was extremely slim.
Pang Tong gritted his teeth and said.
"Not only do I have to defeat him, but I also have to tear Bai Feng into pieces!"
Chen Dao sighed helplessly.
Fortunately, Pang Tong was still rational. Now that he had saved General Guan, this trip was worth it.
Otherwise, things would be even more troublesome if Fan City was lost.
…
Meanwhile, Cao Ren wasn't having a good time either.
He saw that more than half of his soldiers were gone, and he himself was burnt to ashes.
Cao Ren was so angry that he slapped his thigh. He was so angry that he trembled.
Zhang Liao wanted to say something, but he held himself back.
Cao Ren was too full of himself.
The lesson this time was too great.
"I wonder what Wei Emperor will do when he learns that we lost and lost more than half of our men?"
Cao Ren said absentmindedly.
Zhang Liao didn't say a word.
Wasn't that obvious?
If Wei Emperor knew about this, he would be furious!
Seventy thousand soldiers were surrounded by the enemy. The Shu Army would only lose a few thousand soldiers, but they would lose tens of thousands of Cao Army soldiers.
This battle would be a joke if word got out.
"Let's find a place to set up camp and rest."
Zhang Liao sighed helplessly.
Cao Ren was finally willing to listen to Zhang Liao.
He knew that if Zhang Liao didn't tell him to leave a way out during the ambush, he probably would have died in the forest.
Cao Ren felt ashamed when he remembered how he mocked Zhang Liao for being a coward.
The next day, in Xiangyang City.
Liu Bei had just woken up when he saw Pang Tong and Chen Dao kneeling in front of him. They told him about the battle at Dangyang Bridge.
However, Liu Bei had just received Guan Yu's report about Pang Tong's rescue.
Liu Bei didn't know whether to be angry or happy.
If he said that Pang Tong was powerful, then his third brother was captured.
If he said that Pang Tong wasn't powerful, then he wiped out tens of thousands of Cao Army soldiers and saved his second brother.
Liu Bei rubbed his forehead helplessly.
"Forget it, Military Advisor. The merits and demerits offset each other. You two should take a seat first."
"Next, we should discuss our future plans."
Pang Tong thanked Liu Bei and walked into the tent in a daze.
Actually, it was within Pang Tong's expectations that his merits would offset his faults.
As for the reward, Pang Tong didn't even dare to think about it.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Liao became sworn brothers at the Peach Garden.
Now, Zhang Fei was captured with him and his life was uncertain. Pang Tong was already thankful that Liu Bei didn't kill him.
However, the person he should be thanking the most was Cao Ren.
If Cao Ren hadn't sent his head to him, Pang Tong would have been punished by military law if he returned to the camp.
Pang Tong was the one who volunteered to attack Jiangling.
"Military Advisor, given the current situation, what should we do?"
Liu Bei had just sat down when he looked at Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang looked at the dejected Pang Tong and couldn't help but sigh.
