Chapter 755: Sun Tu, Can You Dare to Fight?
The screams that sounded in the rear made Pang Wanchun's heart sink suddenly, and when he turned back, he saw countless Song troops rushing out of the city gate with torches, which meant that he was completely chasing and fighting to the end.
At this time, there was another exclamation accompanied by a scream: "Jiang Yushi has been hit by an arrow, quickly protect all the officials...... but the soldiers who are guarding the officials are shouting loudly, and the weapons in their hands are also waving rapidly, knocking the arrows that continue to shoot away, but some people are also shot by arrows and falling, which slows down the speed of the entire team to flee forward, and the soldiers of Dong Ping and the Song army who are further behind have already caught up.
"Chang Gui ......" Pang Wanchun suddenly stopped his horse and turned around, shouting loudly: "You take a thousand soldiers to escort Fang Xiang and them away, and I will lead people to block it." β
The person who was named was also a famous general in the Wu army, and when he heard this, he was anxious: "Pang Shuai, let's take someone to block the Song army......" He knew very well how dangerous it was to do this, Pang Shuai was the backbone of the Wu army, how could he be so dangerous.
"You can't stop them, this is a military order!" Pang Wanchun didn't give him room to bargain at all, put down his words, and with a swing of the horse's head, he shook the reins, and swung his knife and killed him back. And the soldiers who followed him quickly turned back, gritted their teeth and followed back, although they had already learned the horror of this Song army, although they knew what the result of this turn would be, but they did not hesitate.
"Kill!" The knife in Pang Wanchun's hand kept flickering, knocking all the arrows that shot in front of him fly. At this time, he only relied on his feet to control the horse, but he could still let the horse run like a fly in the dark night but steadily, and soon, he had collided with Dong Ping, who led the team to chase over.
Dong Ping didn't say anything, the short gun in his hand had been stabbed out like electricity, taking the other party's heart and stabbing the opponent's waist and eyes, it was really fast and ruthless. But a scene that surprised him happened, Pang Wanchun suddenly shouted at the moment when the two met, and he just controlled the war horse to flash to the other side, and at the same time as he passed by, the knife in his hand was quickly swept out, and it happened to slash at the bodies of the other two Song soldiers who were chasing after him, cutting the two into two, but the speed of the forward rush did not decrease.
In just a moment, Dong Ping already understood the other party's intentions, Pang Wanchun obviously had no intention of confronting him head-on, he rushed back just to block his own army's pursuit of the defeated soldiers of the Wu army, so it was his only purpose to kill and kill the soldiers of the Song army.
"Be carefulβ" After shouting this sentence, he also hurriedly turned his horse to chase after him. But at this time, the thousands of elite Wu soldiers who followed Pang Wanchun back had also rushed behind him, and countless knives and guns beckoned directly to Dong Ping, forcing him to temporarily stop his horse and return to his guns, not daring to risk pursuing anymore, while more Wu soldiers shouted and rushed backwards towards the Song army soldiers who were smaller than themselves, and the two sides immediately fought together, blocking their pursuit.
There is a chaotic battle here, and the Song army, which is still some distance away, is not good to release arrows again, so it can only go forward with all its strength, wanting to support the battle here, and after a while, when this army arrives, a battle that is several times more tragic than before begins.
At this time, the soldiers of the Wu army had been released under the leadership of Pang Wanchun, and none of them flinched, so they repeatedly rushed to resist the impact of the Song army, especially not letting them go west to pursue their fleeing team. They are all not afraid of death, even if the weapon in their hand is broken and flies, they will still pounce fiercely and make a final desperate fight with the Song soldiers, even if they smash it with their fists and bite it with their teeth, they will bite off a piece of the enemy's flesh.
This kind of crazy fighting really caught the Song army off guard, especially the soldiers who chased out of the city later, and many of them were killed and screamed. They are not the elite of the Qingzhou Army, nor are they the well-trained and experienced Shandong Army, but they are just a mixed team of several other Xiang Army. I thought it was an extremely simple pursuit, but I didn't expect to hit such a hard stone headlong, and it was really bleeding and suffering 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, and everyone else had already hung up their colors, even Pang Wanchun, this martial arts strong, sword like the wind, at this time was also covered in blood, I don't know how much belongs to him.
And the long-term fighting here finally attracted more attention from Song Jun. Originally, Sun Tu was still suppressing the remaining Wu army in the city, but as soon as he heard that someone rushed out of the Wulin Gate, and then fell into a bitter battle over there, he quickly made a judgment: "Sure enough, there are important people who are anti-thieves who have escaped from that side!" We have to send someone to support the pursuit! β
Although this is the case, the only problem of the Song army at this time is also reflected, their troops are not enough after all. Originally, there were more than 100,000 soldiers, but Xu Shen had lost tens of thousands in the battle of Hangzhou, and now more than 80,000 people have entered the city.
This Hangzhou city covers a huge area, more than 80,000 people have to guard the key places, but also to prevent civil strife, and have to pursue the remnants of the Wu army that are running around the city, so that at this time, there are very few soldiers and horses that can be mobilized at will. At least now Sun Tu can call on it immediately, and it is only the more than 3,000 elite guards around him.
Without much thought, Sun Tu decisively decided to personally lead someone to chase him. Because he thought about it, maybe there was Fang La, the thief leader, among the Wu army who escaped to Wulin Gate at this time. If you can take him down in one fell swoop, then the next thief will have no effort.
Soon, Sun Tu personally led the army to the Wulin Gate, and when passing by the palace that was obviously silent and the gate was closed, he hesitated slightly, which always gave him a strange feeling, but for a while he couldn't figure out what the problem was, so he could only put it aside and continue to move forward.
When Sun Tu led the army to kill from the rear, the Wu army was really unable to support it. In fact, the battle here not only attracted Sun Tu, but also attracted the attention of some other Song troops in the city, so soldiers and horses from all walks of life sent people from inside and outside the city to support. In this way, the situation faced by the Wu army is that the more the enemy kills, the less he fights.
When Sun Tu rushed over from the side with the most elite guards and horses, the already exhausted Wu army finally collapsed and fled in all directions. Pang Wanchun, who already had several minor and serious injuries and his hands were trembling slightly, also laughed miserably, and no longer made any more demands, only led more than 200 people to break through to the south.
But this time, he was once again blocked by Dong Ping, who was in hot pursuit, and the two immediately fought again, and under the constant collision of knives and guns, Dong Ping had the upper hand. After all, he was only slightly injured, and the fight was not as strong as the other party.
Also fighting were Pang Wanchun's own soldiers, who were exhausted from the Song army that surrounded them on all sides, but they still stood by the side of their commander, shielding him from more enemy attacks, so that he could concentrate on dealing with the terrible enemy general.
But they were at the end of their crossbows after all, and each round of the Song army's soldiers could kill dozens of people. And when Sun Tu also led the army to kill, and thousands of fresh troops shouted to kill them, the last elite of these Wu troops completely lost the power to resist, and in the end, only more than 50 people retreated to a hillside with Pang Wanchun, who had just separated from Dong Ping. They were surrounded by the Song army on three sides, and they had already lost any possibility of escaping.
Outside of them, the other Wu soldiers were either killed on the spot or had been tied up. This elite division created by Pang Wanchun's single-handedly training was completely wiped out.
After seeing this scene in the hazy night, Pang Wanchun laughed even more, the only consolation may be that his sacrifice was not in vain after all, and in the end he still let Fang Xiang and them escape the pursuit of the enemy. After all, the containment of more than an hour still has some effect.
Seeing that the enemy had become a trapped beast, the turtle in the urn, Dong Ping, who was also injured, was not in a hurry. He remembered very well that Sun Tu had always told him that being a general is not only a momentary bravery, but also the real duty of a general to protect himself and lead the army to victory. Therefore, at this time, he seemed calm, and no longer rushed to attack, but kept ordering people to slowly press forward, put enough pressure on the enemy, and force them to finally collapse completely.
Looking at the soldiers of the Song Army who were constantly pressing, the remnants of dozens of wounded soldiers all showed panic, and some people turned their heads to look at their own commander, opening their mouths but unable to say anything. Presumably, Pang Shuai had nothing to do at this time, so why bother to make him feel embarrassed again?
Pang Wanchun slowly dismounted, coughed, but spit out a mouthful of blood, and then smiled again: "I didn't expect that I, Pang Wanchun, a hero, would die under the city of Hangzhou today." I am only unwilling to die at the hands of a group of ordinary soldiers......"
Although these words were not loud, they still spread to the ranks of the Song army in front, and they happened to be heard by Sun Tu, who had just come forward. This made his heart suddenly move, and he immediately shouted: "Let's do it slowly!" β
Dong Ping, who was about to lead the army to rush over and destroy the last enemy army in one fell swoop, suddenly heard Sun Tu's voice, and hurriedly raised his hand to order the whole army to pause, and then looked over curiously. Sun Tu stepped forward slowly, stood still, and looked at Pang Wanchun, who was covered in injuries not far away, but still straight as a pine, with a horizontal knife in front of him, and shouted: "Pang Wanchun, you and I have fought several times, I know that you are a good man, if you are willing to surrender, I will be able to absolve you of all guilt." Not only you, but even these brothers around you can be saved. "But he was moved by his love for talent, and he wanted to bring this Wu State coach into his account.
Pang Wanchun was obviously stunned for a moment, and then laughed again: "Sun Tu, you look down on me too much, and at the same time look down on me Pang Wanchun!" Although I am a thief in your mouth, I also understand the principle that loyalty does not matter to the two masters, how could I do such a thing? β
After a pause, he suddenly shouted: "I have heard for a long time that your General Sun is also a rare master, can you dare to compete with me today, will you and I have a fight?" If I am defeated, I will no longer put up any resistance, and I will be ......."
