Pang Wanchun's invitation to fight came from the front and fell into the ears of every Song Army soldier. They were all stunned, while Dong Ping showed a disdainful smile after being stunned for a moment. It's really ridiculous. They are already at the end of their rope and they still want to fight with their own coach? You must know that what General Sun has instilled in the people below over the years is that ordinary courage is not advisable, and generals should not take risks rashly. How could he accept the challenge
But Sun Tu's reaction was beyond his expectation. Not long after Pang Wanchun shouted these words, he had already urged his horse to step forward slowly. After stopping at a distance, he replied: "General Pang wants to fight with me." Are you going to bet on something? But I don’t know what you want to bet on?”
These words not only surprised Dong Ping's subordinates, but also cheered up Pang Wanchun. Feeling that he had a chance, he hurriedly said: "Take my life. If you win, I will kill or cut you all as you please. I will never I don’t dare to resist anymore; and if I win, I don’t dare to ask for my life, as long as General Sun you can let these brothers around me live!"
"Pang Shuai... I am willing to die with you!" The dozens of Wu Jun soldiers around were immediately grateful, but then they shouted loudly to express their feelings. They are Pang Wanchun's true confidants, and they will follow him to death without any regrets.
Only then did Sun Tu understand the other party's intention, and he chuckled: "These two arguments of yours can't bring me any benefit. Why should I waste so much time and take such risks to fight you?"
"This is a military order. If you can leave, you must return to Wuzhou alive!" Pang Wanchun said sternly to the people around him, and then looked at Sun Tu: "If General Sun really wants to kill me, we will naturally die. . But have you ever thought that even at this point, I can still fight hard for a while, how many soldiers of the Song Army will die here? Old news, General Sun, you are also a person who cares for your brothers below. Do you even have the courage to do so? You don’t have the confidence to fight me, so you don’t dare to fight me? I, Pang Wanchun, am already exhausted and covered in wounds, are you still afraid of me?”
These words were linked one after another. They were both provocative and reasonable. They even used his own injuries to make a fuss. Anyway, they only meant the same thing. If Sun Turuo refused to fight, that would be
His timidity and fear of death, coupled with his disregard for the lives of his soldiers, must have had a considerable impact on his reputation.
Dong Ping immediately became angry when he heard this. He immediately kicked his horse forward and shouted: "You, a defeated general, are you worthy of fighting with me, General Sun? If you really want to be a hero and want to save some dignity before you die, then fight with me." A battle with Dong Ping!”
Pang Wanchun didn't pick up on him at all, and only looked at Sun Tu: "Sun Tu, do you dare? A man, why do you have to be so coy, just one sentence. If you don't have the courage, just let someone let him go. Just arrows, let's see how many people I can kill!" As he said that, he had already tightened his grip on the knife in his hand, and was ready to attack at any time.
Sun Tu smiled, naturally he couldn't hide this trick from the other party. In addition to having a certain degree of confidence in himself and wanting to save the few remaining subordinates around him, Pang Wanchun actually also took risks to capture himself, so that he could use the idea of breaking out and escaping. But he did not intend to back down, because as Pang Wanchun said, once he avoids fighting, it may indeed affect his prestige in the army and even affect the morale of the army.
After a moment of silence, he finally spoke: "I can accept your challenge, but,
The current situation is like this. Killing you is just a piece of cake. This cannot be used for gambling at all. If you are really sincere, then change it. If I win, you will surrender to me and obey my orders from now on. How about that? "
Sun Tu wanted to take him under his command, and Pang Wanchun was immediately stunned. But soon, he made up his mind and said loudly: "Okay, as you said, if I lose, I will surrender to you. Unless I die, I will obey your orders."
"Okay, you are also a famous figure in the world. I hope you will not go back on your word." Sun Tu nodded with satisfaction and raised his hand again to signal the army to retreat temporarily: "Since you have been fighting for a long time and are injured, I will continue Give you some time and wait until dawn to fight this again."
Unexpectedly, Sun Tu would behave so openly, which made Pang Wanchun feel a little confused. Is he really confident enough to defeat me easily? Although the two had fought against each other once before in the formation of the two armies, only one or two of them had met at that time. No one knew the strength of the other, so how could they be confident
But since the words came to this point, Pang Wanchun was naturally happy to have a chance to breathe, so he agreed, then sat down on the spot and slowly regained his strength. On the other side, Dong Ping's subordinates looked anxious and surprised: "General, you are taking too much risk. What if..."
"Yes, General. He is just a defeated general and is at the end of his rope. Why take such a risk?"
"This man has killed many of our brothers. He should be killed on the spot and cut into pieces. How can we give him another chance and recruit him to surrender..."
The last words came from Tong Wei. Zhang Shun's death, Zhang Heng's broken arm and serious injury, and he still hasn't woken up from the coma, these brothers naturally hate Pang Wanchun deeply.
Sun Tu waved his hand: "This Pang Wanchun is a rare general. Being able to recruit him will be a big help to our army. Even taking a little risk is worth it. And I am absolutely sure that I can defeat him. It’s not even an adventure. As for the brothers who died because of him, they are their own masters, so there is nothing to be resentful about. On the battlefield, either you die or I die!"
Seeing that he had made up his mind, his subordinates were no longer willing to persuade him. Some of them were even very interested in this, and really wanted to see what it would be like for the commanders of the enemy and our armies to compete in front of everyone.
Only the Tong brothers did not say anything after hearing this, but their eyes became gloomy, which made them firm on a certain idea.
After convincing everyone, Sun Tu called a close confidant: "Go into the city now and give orders to other armies, asking them to appease the people and not disturb them. Also, Wu's palace and important warehouses must be captured as soon as possible. They escaped in a hurry, and they will definitely gain a lot this time." At this time, it is obviously impossible to divide the army to pursue the fleeing Fang La, so let's completely capture the city of Hangzhou first, at least the palace of the puppet Wu Kingdom, and their All kinds of food, wealth, books and other items that have been hoarded can be quickly received into your own hands.
Soon, the sky was getting bright. Sun Tu squinted at Pang Wanchun, who was still sitting in front, and smiled: "General Pang, it's almost time. Let's get started." With that, he also mounted his horse again, With his spear in his saddle, he stepped forward slowly.
Pang Wanchun also opened his eyes in response. Although this
Resting for a few hours could not relieve the pain and fatigue on his body, but it was indeed much better than before. At least his physical strength had been restored, and the war horse seemed to be more energetic. He said no more, nodded and stood up, raised his sword and mounted his horse, and then slowly walked towards them.
The two riders approached slowly under the concerned gazes of thousands of soldiers. Pang Wanchun's hand suddenly tightened when he was still a few arrows away, and he kicked the horse's belly hard with his toes, urging the horse to move. Run quickly. Then, he raised the knife high and struck Sun Tu directly in front of him like a rainbow.
He knew very well that his physical condition could not support a long battle, so he had to fight quickly. After seeing that Sun Tu seemed to have a fighting spirit, it was impossible for him to have any reservations. This time, he hit and charged fiercely, and the most direct knife was not even for self-protection.
The two of them ran closer and closer, and Pang Wanchun's knife roared towards them. But Sun Tu still looked careless, and he couldn't even lift the gun. When this scene fell into everyone's eyes, the Wu Army soldiers couldn't help but cheer, while the Song Army soldiers felt anxious and fearful. Some people couldn't help shouting: "General, what are you doing? How come there is no impact and fighting?" Looks like…”
Even Dong Ping was a little stunned. He had already clenched his weapons with both hands, ready to rush his horse out at any moment. Behind him, there were many archers who had bent their bows and set arrows. As soon as Sun Tu was in danger, they would release random arrows. As for the agreement to shoot Pang Wanchun, we can only pretend that it didn't happen.
Pang Wanchun, who rushed forward, had a different feeling. Sun Tu's carelessness put great pressure on him. He couldn't figure out what the other party's methods were. But at this time, there was no room for him to think about it anymore. With the momentum coming together and the knife being swung out, this was the only way to go.
Just when the two of them were only two feet away, and the sword was about to hit Sun Tu, his hands suddenly flashed with fire, and then two black balls were thrown over by him. At the same time, he shook the reins. , has urged the horse to turn and dodge to the side.
This was beyond Pang Wanchun's expectations. After seeing the other party suddenly throw out such a hidden weapon, he felt a chill in his heart. Although I didn't know what it was, subconsciously, I quickly drew back my move and struck horizontally. With two snaps, the blade of the knife hit the two balls, and then -
There was a crackling sound and a flash of fire appeared!
The power of this bomb was extremely powerful, and it exploded in the air at such a close range. In a short time, countless tiny fragments were flying and cutting in the air. The horse stopped, neighed miserably, and finally fell down with a pop. He even violently threw Pang Wanchun out, who was also attacked immediately, and hit the ground heavily, causing dust to spread all over the ground.
But at this moment, Sun Tu, who had just run out and narrowly avoided the explosion radius of the two bombs, had already turned around again. With the soldiers on both sides of the enemy and ours still looking at all this in stunned silence, he quickly ran to the injured area. Pang Wanchun, who was getting worse and could no longer get up, stepped forward and stabbed the gun in his hand suddenly, already pressing it against his chest: "General Pang, you are defeated!"
The decisive battle between the two generals ended so quickly and abruptly. The winner was decided in just one encounter. Pang Wanchun, defeated!
