To surrender or not to surrender, Jin Xuan has no second choice, an unknown person like him, Li Yan can completely behead him to invite merit, but Li Yan also broke 10,000 soldiers and horses in this battle and recaptured Yangping Pass from him.
"Jin Xuan, after this battle, our army can take advantage of the situation to recapture Guanghan County, if you are willing to surrender, but this general is willing to protect the lieutenant of any of your counties."
Jin Xuan hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak, when he heard Li Yan muttering to himself: "After this battle, General Zilong of my family is only afraid that he will be promoted to the governor of one side. ” Jin Xuan immediately knelt down and saluted, "The last general is willing to follow the general, saddle before and after the horse." ” Li Yan stretched out his hand to help him up, "Since you have entered the Jiangdong Army, you will have to abide by the military merits of our Jiangdong Army in the future, you have been captured and surrendered, and you do not enjoy the title, you need to make military achievements in the future to be promoted, and the promotion will be slower than ours, you can know" Jin Xuan hugged his fists, "The end will know." ” "Then you will go down first to collect the old department, you are not the deputy general of my battalion for the time being, and I will guard this Yangping Pass together, and you will be a thirteenth-class "protect" general after all. ” "Thank you, General."
It wasn't until Jin Xuan raised his feet and walked out of the tent that the solemn look on Li Yan's face was released.
Whether Jin Xuan is credible or not is not known at this moment, but he defeated him for a while, and all the generals and colonels captured in the generals were imprisoned in one place, as long as he surrendered these, then the remaining ordinary sergeants could be naturally reorganized.
It's just that if these guys don't have a month or two of practice, I'm afraid they won't be able to use it.
If he wants to go south to help Chuyang at this moment, he will also have more than enough heart but not enough strength.
"O military advisor, today Baishui Pass is worry-free, Yang Ping is difficult to walk, Yangping Pass is defeated by me, but I can't withdraw to help, Zhang Ji and Xu Miao in the north know that this pass is captured, and they will definitely lead the army to attack, if you can't hold out for a few days, wait for the Zhuge army to go north, I'm afraid that the overall situation will collapse."
That night, as soon as Zhou Yu led his army to the city, he ordered to quickly cut down the surrounding trees to make hundreds of ladders.
"Governor, in a hurry, we led the army to attack the city, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to capture, so it is better to rest all night."
Yang Ding stared at the head of the city, and pointed to the large number of people who were constantly carrying sandbags towards the city, "The people in the city are a lot stronger, obviously when Pang Tong led the army to pursue south, he ordered the officials in the rear to send the strong men from Nanzheng, Shangyong and other places. ” "It doesn't matter, a group of rabble, they can't fight with their swords and guns, Shangyong and Xiping's elite soldiers have been buried by Pang Xi's incompetent people under Mianzhu Pass, and our army only needs to deal with the four or five thousand Jiangdong elites in the city in this battle."
"Governor, it's better to divide the soldiers into two teams, and our army will attack one door."
Zhou Yu bowed slightly, "Day and night, as long as a team of soldiers in our army climbs to the top of the city, and the whole army attacks, you will immediately take the lieutenant general and colonel to the city, and pass the order down, and those who go to the head of the city first will be rewarded." ” "Whoa."
Yang Ding was shocked, marched to the front of the city, and immediately ordered the army to form a formation.
Above the city, Pang Tong stared at the city without saying a word, and he glanced at Yang Ren, who was a little tired on his side, "General Yang Ren, there are no siege equipment such as bed crossbows and catapults outside the city, and there are no chariots to hit the city gate, you just need to hold the city wall to prevent the enemy from landing the city." ” "Strategist, how long do you think this wall can be defended?"
"The small city of Chuyang, as long as it is not lost before noon tomorrow."
Yang Ren solemnly hugged his fist at him, "The last general will not disgrace his mission." ” Pang Tong patted his shoulder armor and walked down the road on the city wall.
He gathered tens of thousands of people and hundreds of craftsmen in the streets of the city, and he pointed to the houses on the left and right sides of the streets, "You will immediately tear them down, and in addition, put dry timber under the streets, and place all the flammable materials such as grease and sulfur that are brought from the rear and hide them in the corners." ” "Commander, the city is empty, most of the houses are very dilapidated, and it is impossible to hide people, what should I do?"
Pang Tong pondered for a moment, "Order, immediately tear down all the courtyard walls of those houses, just knock them down in the streets and alleys, and block the entrance to the long street." ” "Strategist, it's raining."
Pang Tong heard the sound and glanced at his feet, and a slender rain line quickly fell to the dry ground, and when he looked up, large drops of rain had already wrapped his eyes.
He stretched out his hand and wiped the drops of water on his face, "Quick, go and pick up the ordnance sent by the Nanzheng Mansion." ” "Whoa."
After a while, there was an earth-shattering shout of killing from the city wall, and Pang Tong glanced solemnly at the city wall road, "The rear team of sergeants is guarding the city wall road, in addition, the archers and sword and shield soldiers immediately fill the vacancy, the city wall is narrow, and the sword and shield soldiers and archers can crouch on the city wall road." ” In less than half an hour, a sergeant strode forward, "Report to the sergeant, the city wall has been lost ten zhang, and dozens of enemy soldiers have climbed the city wall." ” Pang Tong's face sank, "Immediately order the fifty-man team of sword and shield men to cover the archers to climb the city wall, advance layer by layer, and directly shoot the enemy soldiers in the city." ” The face of the military marquis guarding the edge of the city wall changed slightly, "Military division, there are my soldiers in the city who are fighting with the enemy, if you release arrows at this moment, I am afraid" "It doesn't matter, all the dead and wounded sergeants are recorded in the book, and after the war, they will be given silver medals for bravery according to the wooden plaques on their bodies, and each of them will be rewarded with ten acres of fine land."
"Whoa."
Under the heavy reward, the morale was greatly boosted, and the two hundred troops stationed on the city wall road quickly climbed to the top of the city, and soon a sergeant shouted on the city wall road: "Report to the sergeant, the enemy army has been killed and retreated by our army." ” "What is the situation in the city" Pang Tong still did not dare to slack off, as long as the shouts and war drums outside the city did not stop for a moment, he would go forward and mobilize elite soldiers to fight in the city.
"Returning to the sergeant, there are still a large number of enemy troops gathered under the city, and they are " "Whoosh", the sergeant holding the head of the city could no longer reply, and an extra arrow shot at the back of his head, which shot directly through his armor.
Pang Tong closed his eyes painfully and waved his hand towards the top of the city, "Order, continue to hold on, don't give up any section of the city wall, my Jiangdong army, fight to the death and not retreat." ” "Whoa."
Inside the city, Pang Tong was digging the dirt road under the bluestone slab with a new shovel in both hands, digging a series of criss-crossing ravines on the ground.
"Strategist, do we immediately pour these spirits into the ditch?"
Pang Tong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "In this way, the strong aroma of the spirits is difficult to hide, and if our army covers it, I am afraid that it will not be able to make the fire more vigorous." ” An elderly craftsman smiled at him, "Strategist, the old man has a way. ” Pang Tong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately stepped forward to grab his arm, "Please also ask the elder for advice." ” "Strategist, when I was a young man, when I followed my master to make oil cakes in the city, I didn't like to drop the hemp rope into it, and when I picked it up, I noticed that it was more flammable."
Pang Tong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "But if you want to connect all the ditches near this long street, I'm afraid you need a lot of hemp rope, and if you want to have this effect, I'm afraid you have to soak it for a few days or even more than ten days." ” "Strategist, one night is enough, the old man needs not to be too long, the liquor is flammable, we are soaked in oil hemp rope and buried in the soil, but I am afraid that across the long street and the stones, the whole city will not be able to ignite."
Pang Tong bowed slightly, "In this way, there will be Lao Laohan, and I will immediately transfer your three thousand women to assist." ” "Whoa."
The old man took the order and left, Pang Tong turned over his horse, and soon rode to the vicinity of the city lord's mansion.
"The tunnels here can be properly excavated" "Back to the military division, the construction of the Funan Road began three months ago, and now a tunnel several miles long has been excavated, leading directly to the outside of the city."
"Order the old and weak women and children to go out of the city through the tunnels first."
"Military advisor, there is still a battle outside the city at the moment, Zhou Yu has sent a lot of scouts outside the city, if he detects it, will he abandon the city to chase those people."
Pang Tong shook his head, "Zhou Gongjin will definitely do whatever it takes to win me, but he will never use the people as bait." ” "That's fine, but Strategist, will our army also leave through the underground tunnel when the time comes?"
"This is to Nanzheng, the terrain is open, Zhou Yu has captured the horses along the way in Guanghan County, and there are hundreds of horsemen under his command, and our army carries the people, but I am afraid that it will not be able to go far."
"But our army burned the city and cut off the retreat, which was enough for Zhou Yu to put out the fire here and delay for a few hours."
Pang Tong shook his head, "It's just a small plan, and I can't stop Zhou Gongjin for a while." ” The sky is gradually brightening, the battle on the head of the city is still continuing, at this moment several big iron pots on the head of the city have been lifted off the city by the Guanzhong sergeant who climbed the city, the city can no longer boil the gold juice, even the rolling stone and wood are not at the moment, the corpses under the city are everywhere, most of them are blurred with flesh and blood, near dozens of ladders, the heels and feet of the Guanzhong sergeant numbly climbed up with the robe above the head.
When they climbed the battlements of the city wall with the ladder, they were greeted by arrows and spears, and in just one night, Zhou Yu saw that more than half of the 10,000 troops in front of him had fallen.
"Governor Dadu, our army suffered five or six thousand casualties in one night, if we continue to fight, I am afraid that after capturing Chuyang, our army will not be able to attack Hanzhong."
"Then let's take Chuyang first and then discuss."
Zhou Yu knew that the back road had been cut off, and he did not bring veterans such as Cheng Pu and Han Dang on this trip, just to leave Lu Su a chance to capture and merge the state and gain another foundation for the Sun family.
If he can seize Hanzhong in this battle, the situation in Guanzhong will change, and his lord Sun Quan does not have to border with Liu Bei and Cao Cao's territory, and can directly send troops from Hanzhong and Wudu, all the way to attack Yizhou Chengdu, all the way to Shangyong, Xiping, and Jingzhou.
And if Hanzhong cannot be captured in this battle, then Sun will need to wait another one or two decades before he has a chance, he knows that after the Jiangdong Army rectifies the troops in Yizhou, Hanzhong, Yangpingguan and other places will send heavy troops to garrison after all, and then implement the Jiangdong Tuntian method, but I am afraid that these important towns will not be able to break through for several years.

Taking advantage of its unstable foothold and seizing its foundation is the best way to use troops.
"Governor of the capital, General Yang Ding led his army to capture a section of the city wall."
Zhou Yu's face was shocked, "Quick, all the troops will follow me to the city wall and seize its gate." ” "Whoa."
Zhou Yu pulled out the long sword at his waist and personally led the army to the city, but before he could climb the city wall, the left and right guards had already climbed the wall in advance.
"Get out of the gates, get out."
Yang Ren is not a short-sighted person, he knows that it is difficult to hold on to this place, so he directly gave up and withdrew the soldiers into the city, and there was still room for maneuver.
"General Yang, the military advisor has an order, and he orders you to abandon the battle flag and feign defeat and retreat."
"Whoa."
Yang Ren smiled bitterly, isn't his current gray face just defeated, and how to pretend to be his true colors "Kill."
When Zhou Yu followed Yang Ding to kill the city wall, the city gate suddenly opened, and hundreds of cavalry soldiers followed behind a school captain and went straight to the city with spears, knives and axes.
"Arrows", in the left and right houses, suddenly flew a large wave of arrow rain, and when the cavalry fell more than ten people, the cavalry in the front row led the horses to fall forward, and suddenly rolled down into two horse traps that were several zhang long side by side, and the horse traps were also more than one zhang deep, and there were bamboo blades inside, and they would definitely die when they landed.
"Sandbags, fill in the pits."
Yang Ding commanded the sergeant to step forward.
Zhou Yu strode over, "Don't use sandbags, wooden planks, quickly, dismantle the door panels of the houses on both sides of the street and pave them, the cavalry will immediately pursue, don't let Pang Tong go." ” "Whoa."
In the distance, Pang Tong took a deep look at Zhou Yu, who was calm and calm in front of the horse pit, "This person is Zhou Gongjin, who is so anxious." ” Yang Ren rode his horse to the front with a gun, "Military Division, should we build a military formation on the earthen wall along the street to block the enemy army?"
” Pang Tong hesitantly glanced at the large number of defeated soldiers behind him, many of the wounded soldiers who were supporting each other looked at each other, and one of them raised the short knife in his hand suddenly, "Brothers, we can't escape anyway, why don't we go back and fight hard." ” "Kill back."
"Since the beginning of the army in Qu'a, our Jiangdong Army has never lost a city in a battle, and we cannot be ashamed of the army."
"Kill back."
For a while, the two or three hundred wounded soldiers in the rear team wanted to kill the rear and break the rear.
Pang Tong immediately took a step forward, "Everyone listened to the order, and immediately formed a military formation behind the earthen wall, and the wounded soldiers gave up their long weapons, stretched their bows and arrows, and fought to the death with the enemy." ” "Whoa."
The wounded soldiers walked back one after another, most of them were injured in the legs, chest and abdomen, but those who had broken their arms could also pick up a short crossbow and shoot arrows, and by his side, there would also be a man who handed over a loaded short crossbow in time.
The pro-military lieutenant walked to Pang Tong's side, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Strategist, that gully filled with liquor is just behind this mound, if we form a formation here, I'm afraid" Pang Tong shook his head slightly, "Let's fight for a while, if we are defeated and flee like this, then Zhou Gongjin will not believe it." ” Saying that, he laughed at himself, "Now even the elite of Shangyong and Nanzheng have raised their swords to help us, if this battle is lost, I am afraid that I will be affected by the women and children in several cities to cry." ”:
