"The Grand Governor, Pang Tong ordered people to put down the earthen walls on both sides of the street a hundred paces away, and form a formation by the mound of earth.
Zhou Yu stared at the row of torches behind the wall of fire in front of him, and the large number of black-pressed sergeants.
"The earthen wall is not high, and the order is to take the sword and shield soldiers in the front, the archers to advance, the pikemen to the rear, and in addition, the cavalry to be on the flank, ready to be called."
"Whoa."
"Governor Dadu, that Pang Tong is determined to fight to the death with our army, but the rear team scouts will come to report, and there are no reinforcements from Zhuge Liang within a radius of thirty miles."
Zhou Yu frowned, "If he Pang Shiyuan really wants to live and die with Chuyang, then we will let him be buried in this city as he wishes." ” "But since then, I am afraid that the Chinese army in Wuguan will become the enemy of Jiangdong."
Zhou Yu glanced at the young lieutenant beside him lightly, "My lord and Liu Qi have a hatred of killing his brother and seizing the city, and now Liu Qi wants to chase the Central Plains, so he needs Liangzhou war horses, and he is bound to take it, which is why the governor of Bendu insists on leading the army south and capturing Hanzhong." ” "Dadu Governor, what if we can't capture Hanzhong in this battle?"
Zhou Yu glanced up at the north, "I have captured the land of Guanzhong for the lord, and now there is Zi Jing here, if he can decide to merge the state in a battle, and then guard the land of Guanzhong with the Yang clan, Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Liu Bei and Cao Cao in diplomacy, and keep it for one or two decades, it will be no problem." ” The captain's face sank, "The Metropolitan Governor is going to sacrifice his life."
"Cheng Zhi, you are only thirteen years old and secretly joined the army, and went out with me, and now your command is full of old soldiers who came with me from Guanzhong, and there are still a few people left."
"Returning to the Metropolitan Governor, now he is serving as a battalion of your personal guards, but there are only more than 500 people."
"You don't follow General Demou to fight in the party, follow me here, but it's a pity, you will lead my five hundred old troops out of the city at night, go straight north, climb over the mountains, carry two months' grain, and return to Guanzhong."
Cheng Zhi moved his mouth and buried his head, "My Cheng clan is definitely not greedy for life and afraid of death. ” "General Demou has followed the lord's father and brother for three generations, and you are his only son, so how can he die here."
Cheng Shi sighed lightly, "If my father is here, I will vow to let me follow the Grand Duke." ” Zhou Yu looked at the long street in front of him, "But even if I capture and kill Pang Tong today, there are Zhuge Liang, Kuai Yue, Xu Shu, Chen Gong in the Jiangdong army, and even Liu Qi, the king of Wu, who can command 100,000 soldiers like a good strategist, Jiangdong has Yizhou, Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, and now wants to get the land of Qingzhou, the land of six states, no less than Yuan Shao of the four states of Hebei before Guandu, Hanzhong can get a day, it is to cooperate with Cao Cao and Liu Bei to send troops to crusade against Liu Qi, but now our army is gone, if Huang Zhong, Gan Ning came later, I have captured Chuyang, defeated Pang Tong, unfortunately, he is Zhuge Liang, before our army sentinel found out that he led a large group of foot soldiers to delay, with heavy grain and grass. ” He pointed to the west gate, "At this moment, I am afraid that his vanguard army is thirty miles away." ” "How does the Metropolitan know?"
Zhou Yu pointed to the top of his head, "Before nightfall, I ordered to shoot the birds and sparrows that flew out of the city, and there was indeed a letter asking for help, but the letters were all written in the words of a fight, and the scribes in our army could not read them." ” "I never thought that there would be a code word in the bird biography in the Jiangdong Army.
It's just that the governor of the capital, our army has shot down the birds that pass the book, but I am afraid that Zhuge Liang's army will not know the situation here. ” Zhou Yu's eyes were a little gloomy, "A few days ago, there were frequent birds flying back and forth over our marching heads, I am afraid that most of them are used by the Jiangdong Army to transmit letters, if Zhuge Liang does not get a letter for a few hours, he is only afraid that he will urge the army." ” "Governor Dadu, let me lead five hundred old troops to rush up, and General Yang was repelled by the enemy's crossbows."
Zhou Yu glanced at the hundreds of war horses not far away with some distress, "Give the order, use the arrows to press the enemy army on the opposite side, and use the war horses to break through the earthen wall." ” "Most of the Metropolitan Governor's army will only have these war horses left, if you break the formation with war horses" "Cheng Zhi, don't talk nonsense."
Not far away, Yang Ding, who was covered in blood, strode forward, and after solemnly clasping his fists towards Zhou Yu, he said in a deep voice: "Governor, Yang Ding is gone." ” "General Yang take care."
Zhou Yu replied to him, and saw Yang Ding turn over and get on the horse, riding on the back of the horse with five hundred essences, tying a strip of cloth soaked in oil one after another.
Just as Cheng Zhi wanted to ask what was going on, Yang Ding had already raised the spear in his hand, "All sergeants, kill through the enemy's military formation and take the head of Pang Tong." ” "Take the head of Pang Tong."
"Take the head of Pang Tong."
A shout echoed over the long street, and Pang Tong in the distance also heard the movement here.
"Kill."
The oilcloth behind the tail of the 500 iron horsemen was ignited one after another, and more than 500 war horses went crazy in an instant, and before they could rush out of a dozen steps, three or five people were thrown off the horses and killed on the spot.
"Use fire to make the horses crazy, Yang Ding is going to break the formation."
Pang Tong sneered, and waved the feather fan in his hand violently, "Order, the whole army will retreat immediately." ” "Whoa."
More than 100 wounded soldiers were added, and the previous wounded soldiers all fell in a pool of blood, their corpses were left in place, and when fighting, even if their corpses were moved, they would not move far, which would delay the fighters, so even when retreating, they were only taken from them to show their identities.
"Take care."
When a platoon of sergeants with missing arms and legs carried their horses behind the mound, a platoon of sergeants had already raised their spears at their sides and charged towards the oncoming cavalry.
The cavalry was like a gust of wind, and after the attack, the wounded soldiers who stopped in front of them fell one after another, like catkins in the wind, and they were not vulnerable at all.
"Bang" A war horse crashed into the rejection of the horse, the horse's neck was pierced by wooden sharp teeth, the horse's back was thrown out, and after landing, it was shot into a sieve by the fighting and retreating sergeant with a crossbow.
"Put the rocket."
Seeing that the sergeant of the brigade had withdrawn dozens of steps away, Pang Tong glanced around and raised the feather fan in his hand suddenly.
The oilcloth wrapped in the longbow and arrows was taken out, and the arrows were drawn with the bows and arrows, and the moment the torches approached, there were sporadic flames, and the arrows fell in front of the mound.
Hundreds of knights climbed over the earthen wall, but the earthen wall more than half a person high could not stop the excellent Liangzhou war horses under their seats.
However, at this moment, a layer of flame suddenly rose along the foot of the mound.
In an instant, flames nearly one zhang high swelled up, and in a few breaths, a wall of fire formed on the long street nearly ten zhang long, and dozens of knights nearby were wrapped in flames on the back of their horses, fell off their horses, and ran around with wailing.
There were only dozens of cavalrymen who rushed out of the fire, and when they were stunned, Yang Ren had already raised the spear in his hand, "All sergeants, follow me to kill the enemy." ”:
