Chapter 54: The Battle Corpses in the Alley of the City Fill the Road
Li Ru blocked the four doors with piles of stones, and the crashing car lost its effectiveness, and the wall became a battleground. Pang Tong ordered the soldiers to attack on all sides, and the front cloud cart transported troops to the wall, and the east, west, and north sides were mainly on the wall with cloud ladders. Seeing this, Li Ru asked the soldiers to spread around, not letting go of one place.
The war did not stop until dusk, and I saw dark clouds and small raindrops falling on the armor. The rain began to get heavier, but the people on the walls, or those who rushed down the walls, fought against the wind and rain, and some of them even saw clearly with the rain splashing their eyes, but the sharp blades in their hands cut through the rain curtain, allowing the blood and water of their opponents to mix. Blood was spilling from the ground, and no amount of thunder could hide the roar of the warriors.
Pang Tong came to the wall, the rain was pouring down, and the weapons clanged in his ears, he drew his sword, rushed down the stairs with Dian Wei, and came to the ground, watching each fight on a road, or a group against a group. He rushed over and entered the melee, with six enemies in front of him against three of his men. Pang Tong's seven-star sword was disemboweled, and one person was killed, and Dian Wei was swept wildly with two halberds, and the four of them fell to the ground in response. The two fought all the way, and more and more of their own soldiers gathered around them. After completely occupying the north gate, the soldiers moved the boulder away little by little and opened the gate. The cavalry of the Pang Tong army had already been waiting in a hurry, and at this moment they were all rushing in like wild horses, and all those who saw Li Rujun's armor were killed, and on the road, these cavalry rushed over like waves, invincible all the way.
Li Ruzhan was on the tower of the south gate, looking at the battle situation inside. Under the heavy rain, although it was impossible to see carefully how people fought against each other, judging from the direction of the soldiers, Pang Tongjun gradually pressed over. At this moment, the darkness is coming, and the heavy rain continues. In such a bad situation, it is almost impossible to distinguish between friend and foe. The two sides had no choice but to recycle their respective fronts and retreat to the north and south. After the rain had passed, the two sides had ignited, the war drums thundered, and they continued to go into battle, colliding together in the central square and several continents. The people of the city hid in their houses and trembled. Some of Li Rujun's troops even ran into people's houses to hide, or went to the tiled roofs and people's walls to cast cold arrows.
Pang Tongjun had no choice but to enter the houses and fight a melee. Because Pang Tong had issued a military order not to hurt the people, the people hid in the corners or other places, and they were spared the death and injury.
Pang Tong led Dian Wei and more than 100 people to kill the wall from the west gate. Torches are everywhere behind him and in front of him, sometimes flashing, sometimes almost passing by. The double swords in his hands only recognized Li Rujun's soldiers, one sword cut through the neck, one sword blocked the enemy's halberd, and the other sword pierced through the chest. He kicked his foe away and stepped forward with a sword. Dian Wei was extremely brave, the double halberd was like mowing grass, killing everywhere, and the enemy soldiers did not dare to come to battle when they saw this. The soldiers, with torches in one hand and blades in the other, slaughtered in one piece. The firelight was dotted throughout the city, but the firelight was restless and moved everywhere. For example, the fire on the western wall is either extinguished or moving north. It was Pang Tong's army that densely climbed the wall, constantly killing the enemy soldiers, forcing the enemy army to flee all the way north.
After Pang Tong led his troops to the northwest corner, he began to march eastward. He seemed to be able to expect that Li Ru was on the city tower. Because he was a civil official, it was impossible for him to enter the battle, and the castle tower was the best place to protect himself. And Li Ru was also on the wall to see the cold sweat, the movement of those fire points indicated the approach of the enemy, he ordered the soldiers to continue to rush west, but there were more and more Pang Tong troops, and Li Ru's army could not organize a decent defensive line.
And the normal battle is also advancing towards the north, especially the cavalry team led by Zhao Yun almost rushed all the way to the north wall, and then killed again for a while.
Li Ru held the edge of the window in his hand and frowned. For the second time in his life, this man who knew how to schem felt that death was so near. The first time was the day Dong Zhuo was killed.
Pang Tong's army was like a broken bamboo, and it was like a meteor in the night. Li Rujun was so killed that they all went down the city wall, and some even went up to the city tower. Seeing this, Li Ru had no choice but to run downstairs and run towards the east wall. But that side was not stable, and I saw a general holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, leading more than 1,000 people to kill the garrison army.
With a sweep of the halberd in Lu Bu's hand, the weapons of the three people were broken, and their chests were cracked. He rushed like a raptor on the ground, and the enemy soldiers were nothing more than dry grass in his eyes. Seeing this, Li Ru had no choice but to walk down the wall, but unexpectedly, all his own soldiers would rush below, and Pang Tong's army was already approaching. He sighed deeply, walked briskly within the battle line, and returned to the castle tower to sit down. After a while, the shouting of killing was near, and the enemy soldiers went upstairs.
Li Ru turned around to look, and a few of his family members rushed over, but they were killed in three or two clicks. Lu Bu held the halberd in his hand, slammed it on the ground, and with a "bang", he glared angrily: "Master Li, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”
Li Ru sighed and knelt on the ground, and said, "I still hope that Feng will spare my life first, and I am willing to be a cow and a horse." ”
Lu Bu stepped forward in two steps, and the blade of the halberd fell on his shoulder blade, Li Ru trembled, the temperature of the blade was not so cold, but the fear that made the blood all over his body fade through every vein and pulse.
Lu Budao: "I don't count what I said, your life and death will be determined by the free Shiyuan." ”
After a short time, Pang Tong went up to the city tower. Lu Bu took back the halberd. When Li Ru saw Pang Tong arrive, he hurriedly bowed down and said in a trembling voice: "Wangshiyuan left me alive." Pang Tong had blood dripping from the sword in his hand, and stepped forward and said, "Why should Lord Li be so humble, you are also a prince." ”
Li Ru said: "I'm just opportunistic for a while, and I can't make a big deal." ”
Pang Tong returned his swords to the sheath and said, "Get up for me." ”
Li Ru got up when he heard the sound and hung his head silently. Pang Tong said: "Tell your people to surrender to me." Li Ru didn't dare to disobey, walked to the window to the inner wall, and shouted loudly: "I am Li Ru, our men surrender!" Surrender all! ”
At this moment, a large number of Li Ru's men and horses gathered under the north wall, and when they heard this sound, they hurriedly abandoned their weapons and saved their lives. Pang Tong's army lost more than 20,000 people; Li Ru's army lost most of it, and only 30,000 people surrendered. That night, Pang Tong ordered Li Ru to send documents to various places asking for surrender. A few days later, the counties of Fufeng County, Anding County, and Wudu County all sent the submission documents. Linwei County, Tianshui County, was under siege by Ma Teng's army.
Pang Tong gathered in the Chang'an City Mansion, which was originally Li Ru's mansion. Both sides were full of civil and military forces, and Li Ru knelt on the ground in the middle. Pang Tong said: "Li Ru, I will give you two roads, one I will let you go, and the second one will be the master of Chang'an County." The choice is yours. ”
Li Ru thought to himself: "If you go, I'm afraid it's a plan to kill me." It's better not to go yet. Then he said: "The lower official is willing to obey." ”
Pang Tong nodded and said, "Then I will take office immediately and retire." Li Ru lowered his head and got up to leave.
After half a ring, Lu Bu came out and said, "How can such thieves stay? ”
Pang Tong said with a smile: "There is nothing to fear if his subordinates are defeated, and it depends on whether he stays or goes." ”
Lu Bu said blankly: "Didn't you keep him as the master bookkeeper, why did you still stay?" ”
Pang Tong looked at the door, smiled and said nothing. He looked around at everyone and said, "After Ma Teng took Linwei County, the entire Tianshui County was under his control, and according to the previous agreement, Wudu County also belonged to him." Now that Wudu County has surrendered to me, Ma Teng will not give up, what do you think? ”
Jia Xu came out and said: "It is already within the strategy of attacking Ma Teng, just drive the troops to annihilate it." ”
Lu Su said: "Wen He should see that Xiliang people, it must be a difficult character, it is better to take a roundabout strategy, talk to him, and fight again if it doesn't work." ”
Jia Xu shook his head and smiled: "That's to suffer first, how can Ma Teng give up." ”
During the argument between the two parties, Zhao Yun said to Pang Tong: "It's a battle in the end, why don't you lure him out of the city first, and then break it?" ”
Jia Xu said: "This is the best policy. ”
Pang Tong nodded and said, "Xiliang is strong, and it needs to be resolved quickly." Wen and the messenger again. ”
Jia Xu approached to listen to Pang Tong's instructions. The next day, Pang Tong marched westward, and when he was leaving the city gate, he met a horse to report a document. Pang Tong spread out on the black mount and looked at it, and was overjoyed. Lu Bu followed, rode slowly, and said, "Why are you so happy?" ”
Pang Tong handed him the paperwork, which read: "Xiaguan Jiang Wanyu is a huge person, the eldest lady is happy, it should have been three months, it is really Lord Tianhe." ”
Pang Tong was stunned on the spot, and his heart palpitated. Events from years ago came back to my mind, including the mysterious man's advice that he would be discovered if the child was born. What if the Red Lotus Sect comes to carry out assassination?
He gritted his teeth, he had already acquiesced to having a child. It's also about convincing yourself to overcome your fears. He's not the same hairy kid now. There are many strong generals around. It's not easy to move him. If he wants to be afraid that the Red Lotus Sect will not have children, it is a great shame.
