Chapter 268: Evacuation of the city
Others enter Shu because they want to make meritorious contributions and fight for a wife, Pang will enter Shu, but they are only here for revenge. When Zhong Hui selected generals in Chang'an, Zhong Huimao, who was a general of Pingkou, recommended himself and took the initiative to invite Ying to fight with the army.
The death of Pang De that year, Zhong Hui also heard of it, because of the relationship between the late master Ma Chao, Pang De was not favored in Luoyang, and some people even suspected that he was secretly collaborating with the enemy, Pang De was angry, carrying the coffin to fight, so as to make it clear, and later lost in the battle of Fancheng, and the old general who had followed Emperor Taizu for many years was forbidden to surrender on his knees for his life, but Pang De was righteous and awe-inspiring Guan Yu, and he was killed, and his loyalty and righteousness made Cao Cao Wen cry.
It was really because of his father's shadow that Pang Hui was able to be named a liehou, and became a general of Pingkou. The casualties on the battlefield were originally very common, but Zhong Hui didn't expect Pang Hui to have such an obsession, decades have passed, but the desire to avenge his father has not been fulfilled, and it is rare to be such a loyal and filial person.
Zhong Hui felt his sincerity and appointed him as a general under his account, commanding an army and entering Shu to fight. After Pang Hui entered Yizhou, his desire for revenge increased dramatically, but it was a pity that he couldn't act without permission, otherwise, he would have led his troops to Chengdu and killed the Guan family cleanly.
Now the enemy suddenly appeared not far away, this is exactly the goal that Pang Hui is looking for, how not to make Pang Hui overjoyed, his eyes flashed with hatred, and he ordered his army to attack the city in a deep voice.
The adjutant general was stunned when he heard this, you must know that Zhong Hui's order was to ask the right wing army led by Pang Hui to engage the left wing of the Wu army, and now Pang Hui suddenly ordered the army to turn its guns and attack Yucheng. It is completely contrary to military orders. If you really want to be held accountable. That's a crime of killing the head.
"General Pang, disobey the governor's orders without authorization, but you have to ......"
Pang Hui interrupted him coldly and said: "All the consequences, this official will bear his own responsibility, now that the city is empty, it is a good opportunity to sneak attack, if the Wu people capture the city first." It's too late to regret. ”
"Is that a report to the governor first?"
"On the battlefield, changing rapidly, for the general, we must judge the situation and seize the opportunity, many times the opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again." Pang Hui didn't dare to say that he was bent on revenge, so he had to find some high-sounding reasons.
Since Pang Hui said so, the deputy general did not squeak again, and Pang Hui showed a hideous look on his face and swung his army straight to the city.
Wei and Wu tore each other apart. It did give Guan Yi some respite, although Zhang Xian led a group of men and horses to continue to attack the gap that was blasted out last night. But on the whole, the pressure on the defenders of Ruocheng was much less, and Guan Yi was also happy to see the two armies of Wei and Wu fighting under Luocheng, just sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.
Unexpectedly, a force rushed out of the oblique spur and rushed towards the city, and the attack was so rapid and strong that the defenders felt a little unbearable.
Guan Yi didn't know that the leader of the army was Pang Hui, and he was coming for him, so he only thought that the Wei army was trying to take advantage of the chaos to seize the city, how could he let the Wei army succeed, and immediately dispatched troops to defend the city.
Zhang Xian was stunned at a glance, at this time the Wu army's brigade was fighting with the Wei army, and at this moment it would be divided into an army to try to capture the city, but the Wei army came to attack the city It was also a good thing for Zhang Xian, which greatly alleviated the resistance of Zhang Xian's attack, anyway, the order given to him by Lu Kang was to attack the city, and Zhang Xian did not take the initiative to attack Pang Hui, but concentrated his forces and stormed the city.
And Pang Hui was full of wanting to kill Guan Yi to avenge his blood hatred, and he didn't want to provoke Zhang Xian at all. So there was a strange scene under the city of Luocheng, Zhong Hui and Lu Kangzheng led the main force to fight to the death, while Pang Hui and Zhang Xian each led a group of men and horses to attack the city very "tacitly", and the well water did not interfere with the river water.
The situation under the entire city of Luocheng fell into chaos, and the fierce battle between Wei, Shu and Wu was really a breathtaking spectacle.
When the fierce battle was in full swing, Guan Yi's attention had been focused on the north, and suddenly a military marquis reminded: "Junhou, Chengdu...... It seems that there is a fire in the direction of Chengdu! ”
Guan Yi was stunned for a moment, looked back, and couldn't help but be surprised. Although it is said that the city is still a hundred miles away from Chengdu, but at this moment, above the sky in the south, there is a thick smoke that goes straight to the sky, and this is not the kind of single-column beacon smoke, but a large area of thick smoke billowing out, covering most of the sky in the south.
Such smoke will have this effect unless it burns the entire Chengdu, which makes Guan Yi very shocked. He guarded the city by himself, in order to block the incoming enemy, and now Chengdu is in a sea of fire, could it be that other armies have bypassed the city and attacked Chengdu?
Guan Yi was puzzled, and at this moment, someone suddenly reported: "Qiyu Junhou, there is a messenger from Chengdu." Guan Yi was trying to understand the affairs of Chengdu, so he hurriedly sent the messenger up.
The envoy was sent by Liu Yin, the general of Anxi, Liu Yin had completed the retreat of Chengdu, and it would be meaningless for Guan Yi to refuse to defend the city again, so Liu Yin sent someone to inform Guan Yi to retreat immediately.
Knowing that the Son of Heaven and the soldiers and civilians of Chengdu had moved south safely, Guan Yi was naturally relieved, but he still asked: "What is the reason for the thick smoke billowing in the direction of Chengdu?" ”
The messenger was also at a loss, before he left, Chengdu was still safe and sound, and the direction of Chengdu suddenly appeared thick smoke, and he was also confused.
Guan Yi frowned, now it seems that something big must happen in Chengdu, he immediately ordered all the troops to withdraw from the battle, abandon the city, assemble outside the south gate, and immediately return to Chengdu to help.
The withdrawal of the Shu army was carried out gradually, and when the attacking Wei and Wu armies felt the pressure greatly reduced, Guan Yi had already led his troops to quickly withdraw from the south gate. Pang Hui and Zhang Xian thought that the Shu army could not resist the enemy and abandoned the city and fled, Wei and Wu armies each broke through the city wall, Pang Hui entered from the north gate, Zhang Xian came from the gap, and the armies of Wei and Wu conquered the city almost at the same time.
After Pang Hui entered the city, the first target he was looking for was naturally Guan Yi, but he was very disappointed, the Shu army withdrew quite quickly, and there was almost no Shu army in the city. Pang Hui also quickly got the news that Guan Yi and other Shu troops had withdrawn from the south gate of the city and were fleeing in the direction of Chengdu at this moment.
Pang Hui only hated that he was not leading cavalry, otherwise it would never have been possible for Guan Yi to get out so easily, but Pang Hui had no intention of stopping, and immediately prepared to lead the army in pursuit.
But Zhang Xian disrupted Pang Hui's wishful thinking at this moment. (To be continued......)
