The bursts of screams from behind made Pang Wanchun's heart suddenly sink. When he turned back, he saw countless Song troops rushing out of the city gate with torches. They were completely chasing and killing them. What does it mean
At this time, there was another exclamation accompanied by a scream: "Jiang Yushi has been hit by an arrow, please protect the officials..." But it was the soldiers protecting the officials who were shouting loudly, and the weapons in their hands were also moving rapidly. Waving the arrows, he knocked away the arrows that were constantly being shot, but some people were hit by the arrows and fell down. This slowed down the entire team's escape. The soldiers of Dong Pingping and the Song Army who were further behind were already chasing after them.
"Chang Gui..." Pang Wanchun suddenly stopped his horse and turned around, shouting loudly: "You take a thousand soldiers to escort Fang Xiang and others away, and I will lead some people to block them."
The person who was named was also a famous general in the Wu army. He became anxious when he heard this: "Pang Shuai, it is better for the last general to lead people to stop the Song army..." He knew very well how dangerous this was. Pang Shuai was the leader of the Wu army. How could the backbone allow him to be in such danger
"You can't stop them, this is a military order!" Pang Wanchun didn't give him any room for bargaining. Putting down these words, he turned the horse's head, jerked the reins, swung his sword and killed him in the opposite direction. And the officers and soldiers who were following him quickly turned around and followed them back with gnashing teeth. Although they had already experienced the terror of this Song army, and although they knew full well what the result would be if they turned back, they still couldn't. There is no turning back.
"Kill!" The knife in Pang Wanchun's hand kept flashing, and he knocked away all the arrows that hit him. At this time, he only relied on his two feet to control the horse, but he could still make the horse run fast and steady in the dark night. Soon, he had collided with Dong Ping who was leading the pursuit. Together.
Dong Ping didn't say anything, and the short spear in his hand was thrust out like electricity. He took it from the opponent's heart and stabbed the opponent's waist, really fast and hard. But a scene that surprised him happened. The moment the two met, Pang Wanchun suddenly shouted, and he controlled the horse to dodge to the other side. As he passed by him, the knife in his hand quickly It flew out and hit the other two soldiers of the Song Army who were chasing after them, cutting them into two pieces, but their forward speed did not slow down.
In just a moment, Dong Ping understood the opponent's intention. Pang Wanchun obviously had no intention of confronting him again. He rushed back just to block his own army from chasing the defeated Wu army. Therefore, it was better to cause more casualties and kill the Song army soldiers. Its sole purpose.
"Be careful-" After shouting this sentence, he also hurriedly turned around and tried to catch up. But at this time, thousands of Wu army elites who had followed Pang Wanchun back had rushed behind him. Countless swords and spears were directed at Dong Ping, forcing him to temporarily stop his horse and return his gun to defend himself. He did not dare to risk any more pursuit. , while more Wu Army soldiers shouted and rushed towards the Song Army soldiers who were smaller in number than themselves. The two sides immediately fought together to block their pursuit.
There was a chaotic battle here, and the Song army, which was still some distance away, couldn't fire any more arrows. They could only attack forward with all their strength, hoping to support the battle here. After a while, when this army arrived, A fight that was several times more brutal than before began.
At this time, the soldiers of the Wu army, led by Pang Wanchun, were ready to fight, and no one flinched. They charged and killed repeatedly, resisting the attack of the Song army, especially not letting them go west to pursue their fleeing team. he
They are all fearless of death. Even if the weapons in their hands are broken and fly away, they will still pounce on Song Bing for a final desperate fight. Even if they smash with fists or bite with teeth, they will still bite off the enemy's flesh. A piece of meat.
This crazy fighting style really caught the Song army by surprise, especially the soldiers who chased them out of the city later. Many of them were killed and ran away with their heads in their hands, screaming in agony. They are not the elite of the Qingzhou Army, nor are they the well-trained and experienced Shandong Army, they are just a mixed team of other armies. I thought this was an extremely simple chase, but unexpectedly, I hit such a hard rock. I was seriously injured and suffered heavy casualties.
However, Wu Jun also paid an extremely heavy price. In just over half an hour, hundreds of people fell in a pool of blood. Everyone else was also injured. Even Pang Wanchun, a fierce general with strong martial arts skills and a sword like the wind. At this time, he was also covered in blood, and he didn't know how much of it belonged to him.
And the long-term fighting here finally attracted more attention from the Song army. Originally, Sun Tu was still in the city suppressing the remaining Wu troops. As soon as he heard that someone rushed out of Wulin Gate and that there was a fierce battle there, he quickly made a judgment: "Sure enough, there are important figures who rebelled and escaped from there. ! We need to send people quickly to support the pursuit!"
Although that was said, the only problem of the Song Army was revealed at this time. Their military strength was not enough after all. There were originally more than 100,000 soldiers, but Xu Shen and the others lost tens of thousands in the Battle of Hangzhou, and now only more than 80,000 soldiers have entered the city.
The city of Hangzhou occupies a huge area. More than 80,000 people have to guard key points, guard against civil strife, and chase down the remnants of the Wu army who are running around the city. In this way, the troops and horses that can be mobilized at will are There are very few. At least now, the only ones Sun Tu could call immediately were the more than 3,000 elite personal guards around him.
Without much thought, Sun Tu decisively decided to lead his men to chase after him. Because when he thought about it, maybe Fang La was among the Wu troops who escaped to Wulin Gate at this time. If he can be taken down in one fell swoop, then the subsequent thieves will be effortless.
Soon, Sun Tu personally led his troops to attack the Wulin Gate. When passing by the palace, which was obviously silent and the door was closed, he hesitated slightly. He always had a strange feeling there, but for a while I couldn't figure out what the problem was, so I could only put it aside and move on.
When Sun Tu led his army to attack from the rear again, the Wu army could no longer hold on. In fact, the fighting here not only attracted the attention of Sun Tu, but also some other Song troops in the city, so soldiers from all walks of life more or less sent people from inside and outside the city to provide support. As a result, the situation Wu Jun faced was that the more enemies he killed, the more he killed, and the more he fought, the less he fought.
When Sun Tu led the most elite guards and horses to charge fiercely from the side, the already exhausted Wu army finally collapsed and scattered in various directions. Pang Wanchun, who already had several minor and serious injuries on his body and his hands were trembling slightly, also laughed sadly, made no more demands, and only led more than two hundred people to break out towards the south.
But this time, he was once again blocked by Dong Ping, who was chasing after him. The two immediately fought again, with swords and guns constantly colliding, but Dong Ping had the upper hand. After all, he was only slightly injured, and the one he fought was not as powerful as his opponent.
same
Also fighting were Pang Wanchun's soldiers. Facing the Song troops who were attacking from all sides, although they were exhausted, they still stayed by their commander's side, shielding him from more enemies. attack so that he can concentrate on dealing with the terrifying enemy general.
But after all, they were at the end of their strength, and each attack of the Song army's soldiers could kill dozens of people. When Sun Tu also led his army to kill, and thousands of fresh troops came shouting to kill them all, the last elite of the Wu army completely lost their ability to resist. In the end, only more than fifty people retreated together with Pang Wanchun, who had just separated from Dong Ping. Under a hillside. They were surrounded by Song troops on three sides, and they had long lost any possibility of escaping.
Outside of them, the other officers and soldiers of the Wu army were either killed on the spot or had been tied up. This elite division, trained and built by Pang Wanchun, was completely destroyed.
Seeing this scene in the hazy night, Pang Wanchun even laughed miserably. The only consolation may be that his sacrifice was not in vain after all, and Fang Xiang and the others escaped the enemy's pursuit. After all, this more than an hour of containment still has some effect.
Seeing that the enemy had become a trapped beast, Dong Ping, who was also injured, was no longer anxious. He remembered clearly that Sun Tu had always told him that being a general was not just about showing off a moment of bravery. A general's true responsibility was to protect himself and lead his army to victory. Therefore, at this time, he seemed calm. He was no longer in a hurry to attack rashly. Instead, he kept ordering people to slowly move forward, putting enough pressure on the enemy and forcing them to collapse completely.
Looking at the soldiers of the Song Army who kept pressing forward, the remaining dozens of injured soldiers all showed panic. Some turned to look at their own coach, opening their mouths but unable to say anything. Presumably Pang Shuai was at his wits end at this time, so why bother him again
Pang Wanchun dismounted slowly, coughed, and vomited out a mouthful of blood. Then he smiled again: "I didn't expect that I, Pang Wanchun, the first hero, would die in the city of Hangzhou today. I am not willing to die at the hands of a group of ordinary soldiers... "
Although these words were not spoken in a big way, they still spread to the Song army in front and happened to be heard by Sun Tu who had just come forward. This made his heart suddenly move, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Wait a minute, do it!"
Dong Ping, who was about to lead his army to rush over and eliminate the last enemy army in one fell swoop, heard Sun Tu's voice. He quickly raised his hand and ordered the entire army to pause, and then looked over curiously. Sun Tu stepped forward slowly on his horse. After standing still, he looked at Pang Wanchun not far away, who was covered in injuries but still as straight as a pine tree with a sword in front of him. He shouted loudly: "Pang Wanchun, you and I have fought several times. I know you are a good man, and if you are willing to surrender, I will be able to absolve you of all the blame. Not only you, but also the brothers around you can be saved." But he was moved by his love for talents and wanted to give this Wu coach to Under the revenue account.
Pang Wanchun was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he laughed again: "Sun Tu, you think too highly of me, and at the same time you underestimate me, Pang Wanchun! Although I am a rebel in your words, I also understand that loyalty has nothing to do with the two masters. Logically, how could you do such a thing?"
After a pause, he suddenly shouted: "I have heard for a long time that you, General Sun, are also rare masters. Do you dare to compete with me today? Do you and I have a fight? If I lose, I will no longer make any resistance. , captured without hesitation..."
