Just as Pang Wanchun expected, today's night attack was within Sun Tu's expectation, and it could even be said that it was entirely caused by him. They reduced the number of troops outside the city, slowed down the siege, and finally put on a posture of retreating, just to draw out the Wu army in the city, and set traps in the camp early. As long as the enemy troops dared to come, Guan Shou would kill them by surprise.
After the battle started, everything developed according to Sun Tu's arrangement. The Wu army, which was attacking from three sides, quickly fell into a passive position. Not only were they killed and retreated, but the casualties continued to increase, and they were about to collapse completely. When he saw this scene at the Chinese Army, his confidence increased even more, and he immediately ordered the troops in front to step up their attack. It would be best to attack the city while Wu Jun was escaping into Huzhou City, so as to capture the city that blocked them in one fell swoop. A long-standing fortified city.
As the sound of the trumpet became more intense, the lanterns that replaced the flags continued to swing to issue military orders. The Shandong Army, which was pursuing from the left, center and right, also converged as quickly as possible. After joining forces, they rolled up and killed the enemy continuously, frightening many Wu Army soldiers. He lost his fighting spirit and was left with only the thought of escaping. He quickly approached Huzhou City.
Liao Qing, who was in the defeated army, was filled with anger and regret. Seeing that he had caused a big disaster and suffered countless casualties, he was already hairy. He ignored the dissuasion of the soldiers around him and turned around again, waving the Xuanhua in his hand. Ax was about to fight the Song army in the final battle, and he shouted repeatedly: "Brothers, we are the elites of the Wu Kingdom. How can we be afraid of the Song army and fight back with me? We have the possibility of winning! Kill!" "
Under the influence of him taking the lead and roaring back to kill fiercely, the fighting spirit of some soldiers was really restored. A team of three to four hundred people rushed back with him and quickly engaged the Song army. Get started.
At the beginning, they took advantage of the bloody courage and the Song army was completely defenseless, and actually allowed them to kill two teams. But as they rushed forward too much, they finally attracted the attention of several generals who were leading the army forward. Among them, Yang Zhi reacted the fastest and was the closest to them. He immediately turned his horse's head and led the army. He was fighting horizontally, and the knife in his hand whizzed straight at the opponent's neck.
Seeing such a group of men and horses coming from the diagonal to kill, Liao Qing did not show any intention of shrinking back. He immediately roared angrily and raised his ax to meet the general. With a loud sound, the two weapons collided hard, and the two of them were at the same time. He paused, but realized that the enemy in front of him was not a good person.
Yang Zhi shouted again, and the Pu knife was immediately rolled up, trying to knock the opponent's weapon away, but Liao Qing also woke up in an instant, and immediately held the handle of the ax firmly with both hands, and moved with the trend, actually holding on securely. Steady. The two weapons only turned around seven or eight times, and finally they were exhausted and could only separate. At the same time, their bodies turned around and faced each other with their backs. After this head-on confrontation, the two warriors were evenly matched, and neither could do anything to the other. But in fact, Yang Zhi was slightly inferior in comparison. After all, the opponent was injured.
But just when the two were entangled, the soldiers and horses under both sides had already decided the winner. The Wu army that could still fight was already defeated. You must know that this team of several hundred people dared to counterattack against the current because they were inspired by Liao Qing. Once he was no longer charging in front of them, their momentum quickly dropped and their momentum dropped sharply. On the contrary, the Shandong Army who followed Yang Zhichong had long been accustomed to fighting with each other, even without the general, under the command of their respective captains
, still able to show extreme combat effectiveness. In this frontal battle, he quickly suppressed the Wu army and killed them, causing them to flee and scatter, causing heavy casualties.
Liao Qing, who had just stabilized his horse and suddenly turned around to fight again, saw this scene that made his heart tremble. He immediately stopped entangled, picked up the reins, and fled to the side.
But at this moment, a familiar scream came from the side and behind. It was the scream of Mr. Hong who had come out of the city with him and was seriously injured. This made Liao Qing's heart tremble, and he changed direction again, and rushed towards that direction on horseback. While swinging the long ax in his hand, he killed several ordinary soldiers who wanted to block his way.
Immediately, he saw a scene that made him angry and frightened. A Song general was holding a spear and surrounded Boss Hong. No matter how hard he struggled to kill, he could not escape from the heavy attack of the spear. What's even more frightening is that his body is full of wounds and bleeding, all caused by being stabbed with spears. Although it is not a serious injury, if this continues, it won't take long before he bleeds out and dies.
"Boss Hong, let me save you!" Liao Qing roared loudly without any hesitation, and then swung his ax to kill. But just as he was halfway through the charge, there was a sound of a bow, and a cold arrow was shot from the side. It was extremely fast, the angle was extremely accurate, and it had advance lead. As long as he continued to charge forward on horseback, he would be hit right away. Hit the incoming arrow. This frightened him so much that he quickly picked up the reins and pulled the horse urgently. At the same time, he quickly struck out with the ax in his hand, and finally narrowly blocked the arrow.
But during this pause, the Song army, which had just been dispersed by its momentum, encircled them again. Countless weapons attacked from all directions, and there were also a few cold arrows mixed in. Liao Qing could only swing his ax to resist, but It was no longer difficult to move forward. Unknowingly, he was once again under heavy siege by the Song army, struggling desperately to survive.
Boss Hong was also in danger during his delay. After barely blocking the continuous barrage of spears, he was suddenly shot in the side by a cold arrow from the side, causing him to scream again. Besides, the movements of his hands also stagnated. But the Song general in front of him didn't give him any chance at all. The spear in his hand was dancing like a snake, suddenly it flew up, and hit him right in the heart with a pop. With another force, he was lifted directly off the horse. , slapped to the ground hard, twitching.
The surrounding Song Army officers and soldiers had also been waiting for this moment. Immediately, more than ten people pounced on him, holding down Boss Hong and taking out ropes to tie him up. Just because he has a mount and can contend with his own general for so long, we know that he is an important enemy general, so whether he can survive or not, we must capture him first.
At this moment, a voice of admiration sounded from the side: "Instructor Lin has such a good move to make the spirit snake spit out the letter, it is really cruel and wonderful!"
Lin Chong, who finally captured the enemy general, had already withdrawn his spear and said with a smile: "Thanks to the help of Brother Hua's sharpshooting, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to capture him alive easily!" He was very sure of his last shot. , although this attack looks fierce, it only hurts its fur and is not fatal.
Hua Rong chuckled at the side, and the bow and arrow in his hand were once again aimed at Liao Qing, who was still rushing left and right to escape. Just now, in order to help Lin Chong quickly defeat the enemy, he temporarily stopped paying attention to this guy who suddenly came to kill him.
Liao Qing also immediately felt a huge
Threatening, this time there was no hesitation at all. Two soldiers slashed his back with a knife, but he still kicked the horse on his crotch, urging it to suddenly jump out of the encirclement with a high leap, and then charged forward at full speed. Let him escape from this desperate situation.
Hua Rong's arrow also came suddenly at this time, but it only grazed his back. Although it cut a deep wound, it was only a flesh wound after all. Liao Qing, who had seen and personally experienced the terrifying abilities of Lin Chong and Hua Rong, did not dare to stop for the slightest moment and immediately urged his horse to rush forward at full speed, just to escape.
When he, the main general, was surrounded and intercepted, and his life was hanging by a thread several times, the Wu army under his command was in even worse condition. They fled all the way, and some people fell down along the way. Under the fierce pursuit of the Song army, they could not even organize several effective counterattacks. Army generals like Mr. Hong, just shouting to gather troops and horses for defense, would encounter the same army. The generals of the Song Army rushed over, but the result was that the generals were defeated, and the soldiers and horses under his command were defeated by the Song Army without a leader, making the army even more chaotic. Many people would just turn around and run straight towards Huzhou.
With almost equal strength, it took less than an hour for the Wu army to collapse. This single battle was enough to prove how big the gap between the two armies was. It was only then that the Wu Army soldiers who were still in Huzhou City finally understood the good intentions of their coach. Indeed, holding on to the city was the safest way to play.
But at this time, Pang Wanchun had changed his mind. Under the command, all the defenders in the city had gathered together. As he drew his sword and pointed forward, the city gate also burst open. Without hesitation, he flew on his horse. , holding the Yanyue long sword, roared: "The survival of Huzhou depends on this battle, brothers, fight with me and defeat the enemy!" Before the roar was finished, he had already galvanized his horse and rushed out of the city gate, and had not yet completely fallen through. Stable suspension bridge.
When the other soldiers saw their coach, they all rushed out. No matter how worried they were, they could only fight to the death. Immediately, they all roared and rushed forward at full speed, making the suspension bridge keep making weird creaking noises, as if it might be broken at any time.
"Woooooooo..."
"Dong dong dong..."
"Kill...!"
The remaining more than 20,000 soldiers and horses mustered up their greatest courage, beating drums and trumpets, and shouting kills into the sky. Without hesitation, they rushed towards the Song army, which was getting closer and closer, and quickly fought with the soldiers who were being chased and were running away with their heads in their hands. My own soldiers and horses meet.
Pang Wanchun, who was rushing at the front, suddenly raised his sword and killed the four or five deserters who were close to him with a few swipes. Then he shouted loudly: "In today's decisive battle, whoever dares to escape will definitely not be killed." Spare! Everyone, turn back and kill me!"
With just one kill, the soldiers under his command who were almost losing their nerve were shocked. Then, they saw the city gate open and the rest of the army pouring out in an endless stream. This made their spirits suddenly startled. Whether they really had confidence or were forced by the situation, they turned around one by one, raised their weapons, shouted loudly, and killed the Song army again.
Pang Wanchun was worthy of being the most famous general of the Wu army. Even at the moment when the army collapsed, he was able to turn the tide and lead the troops to counterattack.
The real decisive battle and contest begins here.
