"In such a difficult situation, my camp was also abolished, and the Fengming cannon and the iron chariot army were stopped. It's been a good rain, and I'm going to do it with you to the end. ”

The rain slapped Pang Tong's cheek, and he wiped his face, but it was useless, the rain was pouring down. Attacking a city in such a situation is really an exaggerated move. But he knew that if he was helpless or retreated because Dazhai was flooded, Zhuge Liang would still drive his troops to chase and kill. At the same time, Zhuge Liang's grain should not last long. Otherwise, this countermeasure will not be available.

The sound of weapons was completely drowned out in the rain. Splashing blood mixed with sweat, rain, and mud, and the soldiers who peeked out their fierce faces behind the rain curtain fought against the weather and the enemy's tenacity with a decisive spirit. I don't know why. Soon, the enemy's 5,000 cavalry ran past the position of the rear army of Pang Tong's army under the pursuit of Pang Tong's army and ran towards the north. It seems that their route was north at the beginning. The frontal infantry immediately retreated into the city after complete resistance. Pang Tongjun pushed the cloud cart over and built a wooden plank bridge. The mighty iron cloud cart made it to the wall with difficulty. Strangely, there was no revolt in the city. Pang Tongjun came to the wall smoothly. These people who stared at the rain and looked at the road on the empty wall in front of them, there was no catharsis for the murderous aura at the beginning. Pang Tong himself jumped to the wall through the cloud car, and he walked in the rain, his hair sticking wet to his cheeks. Is this an empty city?

He went down to the city and ordered his soldiers to search for him. He found that this was not an empty city, but that the people of the city were still there. I found out by asking everywhere. After the heavy rain began, Zhuge Liang's army had already begun to withdraw from the south gate. When Pang Tong's army came to the north gate, those soldiers who were just staying behind later retreated into the city and escaped from the south gate. Thinking about it like this, Pang Tong understood. From the very beginning, Zhuge Liang knew that it would be impossible to continue fighting, and he was ready to retreat with the whole army. Even the cavalry, which seemed to be about to attack the rear army, was nothing more than a trick, and finally fled to the north.

Pang Tong came to the enemy tower at the south gate, looking at the white place in the distance where the rain and mist could not be seen, it seemed that someone was walking, but if he looked closely, it was just a splash of rain and fog, and the tumbling rain howled on the ground.

Behind him, Dian Wei reported: "My lord, when Zhuge Liang fled, he took away the gold, silver, and craftsmen in the city. There is still some grain in the county treasury, but it seems that most of it has been taken. ”

Pang Tong said angrily: "He is afraid that we will attack quickly after we get military funds." and feared that there would be no food in the city, and the people would be killed. There is always a benefit to taking away skilled people such as craftsmen, whether it is in urban construction or war. Isn't this guy tired when his mind is full of such a turn? ”

"Your Excellency has worked too."

Pang Tong was stunned when he heard this, and smiled bitterly. He and Zhuge Liang are simply the same kind of people, thoughtful and strategic. Once such people fight, it will be a cruel, unpredictable, protracted, and wonderful war. This is also what Pang Tong wants, which is much more interesting than fighting with Ma Teng, Li Ru, Hua Xiong and others. If you make a mistake, you will be defeated. Pang Tong's nervous tense due to caution only relaxed a little at this moment.

In the rain, this elusive Zhuge Liang's troops will make people feel even more uneasy. Regardless of the availability of time, the pursuit was clearly futile or dangerous. Heavy rain stopped in the evening. Pang Tong ordered Zhang Bang to settle the people.

Half a month later, the grain transported from the north arrived safely in the county seat. Pang Tong immediately led 100,000 troops to the east and marched towards the county seat of Wuxing. At the same time, he ordered 50,000 soldiers and horses scattered in the northeast of Wuxing County to leave the pass. The two sides are at odds. As long as the county seat of Wuxing is taken, the entire Wudu County will be under the control of Pang Tongjun.

There was a dry atmosphere in the sky, and the coolness of the mountain forest under this spring was thick and muggy. Soldiers in armor and armor could not help but feel that summer was approaching due to the long journey. Pang Tong was on his horse, and he saw that there was silence around him, and the trees were shady. Suddenly, the spies reported that there was an unusual movement in the reed forest ahead. Pang Tong thought to himself: "Could it be an ambush? ”

He halted the army and sent two thousand horsemen toward the reed forest.

The army was in a low valley between the two mountains, and suddenly a large number of rolling stones fell on both sides. Pang Tong found that the location they had reached was exactly where the valley narrowed. At this moment, the rolling stones smashed the soldiers on both wings, and some of them directly turned into flesh. In this case, the soldiers retracted inward, making the squeezing a bit chaotic, and many people were trampled. At this moment, the rear army was in a commotion. Someone came to report that there were enemy soldiers rushing down from the hill behind, blocking the back road with a large amount of firewood and grass, and when they were fighting with the rear army, they set fire to the haystack.

The drums of war sounded, and the ambush soldiers rushed down from the mountains on both sides. Pang Tong ordered the army to attack, but the army's battle line was too long, and the enemy soldiers cut the snake-like army into several sections. Pang Tong frowned, and immediately ordered: "The whole army is scattered to kill the enemy and resist to the death!" ”

Dian Wei said on the side: "In this way, won't it be disrupted? ”

Pang Tong said coldly: "Our sergeants are well-trained, so that we will not be completely defeated. ”

Pang Tong's army was dispersed and did not take the long snake as a formation. After killing for half a day, some positions actually killed the enemy back to the mountain. However, due to the confusion of the army due to the rolling stones and the ambush plan, the battle was extremely difficult. Pang Tong had no choice but to order the army to advance, where the road was wide and the vision was bound to be broad. But there was a change ahead, and when I saw the fire burning, I knew that the road ahead was blocked. At this moment, the cavalry who had gone to explore the road encountered an ambush in the reed forest and also started to kill.

Half a day later, the enemy soldiers dispersed. Pang Tongjun began to reorganize the army. Dian Wei said: "In the end, we still guarded it." ”

Pang Tong smiled bitterly: "We have lost the battle. In order not to let us find out. Zhuge Liang should have let people ambush here a long time ago, and the strength is limited, looking at the scale of more than 10,000 people, it is naturally easy to be seen by spies if there are many people. In this case, our army lost soldiers and lost morale first...... Hey......"

Suddenly, like lightning flowed through his body, he reined in and looked at the place on the west side. His face began to turn slightly pale. He said loudly: "Order the whole army to retreat to the county seat of Xiafen. ”

He expected it right. 50,000 people from Yinping County, Yizhou, marched towards Xiabian County in the northeast. When Pang Tong's army rushed back to Xiafen County in the west, the 50,000 Yizhou army was attacking the west gate of the county seat. Pang Tong did not directly flank him, but let go of the west gate, and the whole army rushed in. The enemy troops immediately withdrew. The city guard said that if he came one day late, it was estimated that the city would not be protected. Pang Tong let out a long sigh and said, "What a nerve-wracking person. ”

After that, within a month, Pang Tong mobilized his troops and horses. 100,000 troops were stationed in Ji County, 200,000 troops were stationed in Xiafen County, and 150,000 troops were stationed in Sanguan, forming a deterrent to Xiliang and Yizhou. Xiliang retreated to Xiangwu County after several defeats, and it was also considered safe. If they send troops, they will not take Han Sui in their eyes.

In fact, the purpose of the real arrangement of this formation is to deal with Yizhou with Zhuge Liang. Pang Tong's information troops also carried out a large-scale infiltration of Yizhou. Wuxing County has 200,000 troops, and it is also a rearmament division. Yinping County garrison 80,000 soldiers.

"Yin Ping, who is leading the troops?" Pang Tong asked.

The spy replied: "Yizhou veteran Yan Yan." ”

Pang Tong's eyes narrowed into a slit. He began to put the general terrain of the entire Yin Ping in his brain. Due to the barrier of Xiafen County, Zhuge Liang still needs something to exchange military information. Pang Tong's biggest target now is Yinping County. He summoned the civil and military forces in the palace. He said: "Right now, I have been fighting with Zhuge Liang many times, and it seems that it is not good to go to Wuxing. What do you have to do? ”

At this time, there were Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Gao Shun, Lu Su, and Jia Xu. Jia Xu said: "Yinping is the important land of Guanghan County, as long as you take here, you can attack Mianzhu Pass in the south, and then attack the Hina Pass, which is the Yizhou Governance Office Chengdu." ”

Lu Su answered: "What Wen He said is very true. However, Yinping is guarded by the old general Yan Yan, and it should be difficult to capture. If we want to attack, we must fight quickly. Otherwise, Zhuge Liang is resourceful, and he will inevitably distinguish from the martial arts. ”

Pang Tong said: "I want to hit his point. ”

Five days later, Pang Tong's army divided 100,000 troops and set out from Xiajiao. Heading towards Yinping County to the southwest. At the same time, the herald ordered 100,000 people to go out of the customs and go down to the village fifty miles east of Wuxing County.

Six days later, the sky was clear, and Pang Tong's army went down to the village twenty miles north of Yinping County, and immediately began to cut down trees to build cloud cars. While ordering Xu Huang to take 10,000 people to challenge at the north gate. But Yan Yan couldn't come out.

Five days later, the army marched forward on an iron-clad cloud cart. Yan Yan completely followed Zhuge Liang's method, dug the ditch to besiege the city before Pang Tong's army arrived, filled it with haystacks, and poured kerosene. Pang Tongjun's iron-clad cloud car stopped behind the ditch. Yan Yan laughed on the wall. Pang Tong's army did not move, and directly camped here. Yan Yan couldn't understand what Pang Tong was thinking.
