Chapter XVII: Pandin (3
Led by Rihien, the team lay in ambush in the woods where Pandin had been captured, only a mile away from the camp of the thieves. The horses were put on their muzzles, and all of them were covered with thatch to camouflage. Everyone looked at Rihito with expectant eyes, but he said one sentence from the moment he came here: "I only have one word now, wait." Whoever disobeys the order is a killer. ”
While everyone was anxiously waiting, the combination of the official army and the thief army began a new round of attack on Yangjiazhuang. The official army did not directly join the attack on Yangjiazhuang now, but used the thief army to be cannon fodder.
Although Pan Ren felt very painful in his heart, he had to accept the reality helplessly. Watching his troops still push the shields they had made earlier, they were moving forward slowly.
Xia Zhen enjoyed the service of the two beauties sent by Xiangye himself in the back, and enjoyed the slow performance of the thief army in front of him. Slowly, Xia Zhen began to get anxious and ate the fruit that a beautiful woman fed to her mouth. shouted to Pan Ren in front of him: "Boss Pan, can you make your people faster, now at a snail-like speed, when will you be able to get rid of Yangjiazhuang?" ”
Pan Ren didn't dare to offend Xia Zhen now, so he could only smile and nod his head: "What the general said, the villain will let them speed up now." After saying to Xia Zhen, he closed his eyes and ordered his own soldiers: "Beat the drum and cheer, let them speed up." ”
The soldiers wanted to say something, but looking at Pan Ren's helpless eyes, they could only give orders. After a while, there was a mighty drumming sound in front of the formation, and Pan Ren could only pray to the Mantian God Buddha that his troops would not be so vulnerable.
The soldiers in front of them who were pushing the deadly heavy shield shield heard the drums and shouted: "MD, isn't this urgent." Can you get it now? It's really not a thing. But now is not the time to complain, and you can only push forward with the strength of breastfeeding.
Everyone in Yangjiazhuang saw that the enemy was about to come to the wall with the shield, and they looked at each other anxiously. But the old lady was still calm, took a sip of the tea in his hand, and then ordered unhurriedly: "Prepare the stone thrower, aim at 3 zhang outside the wall~~!" Get ready for ignition! Put!! ”
At this time, it was not the arrow feathers that flew out of Yangjiazhuang, but the black iron eggs, which were smashed on the shield and were itchy. Just as the thief army was laughing behind the shield, he felt that he had unconsciously flew into the sky, and then he heard a rumbling sound and closed his eyes.
Pan Ren, who was in the back, stared at his eyes, only to see the shields that his soldiers had pushed hard to the front and flew into the sky one by one with a burst of smoke. Then he heard a sound like thunder in the sky, and he reacted directly in his heart: "It's not good, it's gunpowder." But when he turned around, it didn't look like a gunpowder weapon. (Because gunpowder in the Song Dynasty did not have such explosive power)
Just when he couldn't do anything, Xia Zhen, who was sitting behind the desk, didn't seem to see the tragedy in front of him. He was very impatient and instructed Pan Ren: "Why haven't you captured it yet, Boss Pan, you send someone up again, you must capture Yangjiazhuang today." ”
Pan Ren turned to look at Xia Zhen pleadingly and said, "General, didn't you see that half of my people in front of you have been killed?" Others have lost their fighting spirit. General, let them come down. As he spoke, Xia Zhen was about to kneel.
Xia Zhen reprimanded loudly: "Boss Pan, you have to pay attention to your identity now." You are now an official of the imperial court, no longer a bandit or anything like that. What your people are my people. It's all from the imperial court! I don't want to talk nonsense, send them up again, otherwise cut ~! ”
Pan Ren saw that it had no effect, but was reprimanded by Xia Zhen. I regret it in my heart, I shouldn't have done it in the first place.
Just when Xia Zhen finished reprimanding, the thief army that attacked in front retreated again. Xia Zhen angrily ordered his soldiers: "Send someone to supervise me, whoever runs down first will behead me~!" ”
After the pro-soldier general promised, he brought a team of men and horses to the front of the formation, and met more than 100 people who ran back first, but the pro-soldiers did not say anything, but directly picked up the swords in their hands and split these people in half one by one.
When I saw that I was killing my own people in front of me, I panicked instantly. shouted loudly: "Brothers, they are killing our own people, we are fighting with them!" ”
The thief army suddenly changed from a state of escape to a state of desperateness, and rushed towards these soldiers with a roar. Xia Zhen hurriedly ordered in the back: "Come here, send 5,000 people, and behead these rebels in front of the battle." ”
5,000 officers and soldiers lined up neatly in front of the formation, looking at the thief soldiers who rushed over. At this time, many of the thieves already knew that they couldn't rush forward, so they only stopped helplessly and looked at the huge army of officers and soldiers in front of them. However, there were still many courageous thieves who rushed to the huge ranks of officers and soldiers without hesitation, and they proved their anger and bravery with blood and roars.
When Pan Ren opened his eyes again, his thief army was only about 2,000 people who didn't have the courage to rush over. They stood stupidly in front of the formation, not daring to take a step back, not daring to take a step forward.
However, the officers and soldiers did not sympathize with and pity them, but shouted at the same time in the front of the stride: "Attack back, or you will be killed." ”
The 2,000 thousand thieves turned their heads helplessly, with tears in their eyes, and rushed to Yangjiazhuang, which could also kill themselves.
Pan Ren watched from behind, and "poof" knelt on the ground towards the dead thieves. His hands kept pounding the ground, and tears flowed from his face, shouting: "Brothers, I'm sorry for you." Yes~~! It's me, it's me who is sorry for you~! ”
The soldiers behind Pan Ren couldn't support it for a long time, and looked at the brothers who got along with him day and night in the past, so they reluctantly gave away their lives, and they cried loudly.
But their cries could not be exchanged for the lives of their brothers, and with the order of Old Lady Yang, the arrow feathers issued by the longbowmen were like flowers falling from the sky, and every time they were inserted into the body of a thief, they would bloom beautiful and bright red petals. They're so bright, they're so breathtaking. Everyone they take care of will never want to wake up again in their beauty and beauty.
When Pan Ding in the woods was unblindfolded, it was the last glorious moment of the thief army, and he had already guessed in his heart that Xia Zhen was not well-intentioned. But when Pan Ding faced it, he felt that he was a human after all, and he was so fragile and vulnerable. He struggled to rush over and shout out to his brothers to come back, but Rihito's soldiers didn't want him to leave his sight. They reluctantly tied him with ropes and tightly bound him to the tree.
Pandin wanted to cry, but he already wanted to cry without tears. It was in vain to try to run over and see the corpses of the brothers who had once been there. He could only watch with a wilt as his brothers in the distance fell one after another.
