At noon the next day, Pang Tongjun slowly came to the pass after eating, hundreds of thousands of troops listened to the order and shouted wildly, the birds and beasts in the surrounding forest were scattered, and the city wall seemed to be shaken by tremors. There was no one left at the head of the wall. Pang Tong marched into the army. The infantry in front entered first, and saw a large pit in a row, which was still piled with war horses and soldiers who had fallen to death yesterday. After learning from yesterday's previous experience, Pang Tong ordered people to build a board bridge downward, so that people and horses could drive safely into the lowland.

The army entered in a mighty way, and those who went up to the wall to watch came back to report that there was no one on it.

"A delaying tactic." Pang Tong thought to himself: "It should be a little trick to do for the fortifications of Chengdu." More than 200,000 men had already driven into the lowlands, and the infantry in front should have set up their way up and began to move up.

The sky suddenly turned gray. Just when Pang Tong felt that rain was falling on his face, there was a sudden torrential rain and thunder.

The rain poured down, and the soldiers had a hard time advancing. The water in the lowlands began to rise. After Pang Tong noticed this bad situation, he didn't care about 3721, and ordered the three armies to separate, the front ran to the high ground, and the back retreated outside the pass. But the rain was already above the ankles, and the soldiers were slowing down, and the men were scattered, some fell, some were trampled, and there was confusion. In front, the soldiers who had just run to the high ground were suddenly shot and fell to the ground by the crossbowmen lying in ambush on both sides, and the corpses were piled up, and no one dared to go up again. The water was knee-high again. When the soldiers saw that they were also dead when they retreated, they rushed to the enemy's arrow array, and rushed up one after another, and rushed to the crossbowmen, slashing with the blades in their hands, and killing rivers of blood.

At the same time, enemy cavalry rushed along the road from the east. Pang Tong and the cavalry also ran away, because he was closer to the battlefield to the east, he chose to advance, but due to the panic of the men and horses, it was difficult to find even a road.

A ghost cried wolf, the rain was getting lower and lower, and the retreating soldiers and horses were lucky, but those who advanced fell into the enemy's trap. Half an hour later, the rain was already two feet high and the ground level, and all the people with good water began to swim and retreat, and some people with bad water or did not know how to swim drowned one by one. Most of the horses could swim, and they all saved the lives of the cavalry in this critical moment. Pang Tong gritted his teeth and wanted to advance to the east. However, the rain was too strong, and the battle situation in front was no longer clear, so he had to retreat slowly. The whole water was covered with corpses, armor, and flags. Pang Tong was very unhappy when he saw it, and the more he swam to the place where he was closed, the more he could see a large number of wooden boxes loaded with baggage. Those that float up should be something that is lighter and easier to float inside.

When he fled to the ground, the gates were full of soldiers who had fallen to the ground from exhaustion or with their weapons crooked. There was a flash of thunder and lightning, and a blue-white light swept by. Pang Tong looked up at the huge rain, kept spitting out the rain, and sighed heavily.

Two hours later, the rain stopped. Pang Tong's army withdrew to Dayue outside the pass with 260,000 people, and there were countless corpses on the water, and the situation in the east was not clear. In the end, I sent someone with good water quality to the east to investigate.

The spy replied: "There are corpses everywhere, all of them should be dead, and the enemy is nowhere to be seen." ”

In this battle, Pang Tong's army drowned and killed more than 100,000 people, a heavy defeat.

The sky was still gray, and Zhuge Liang was in the eight-person sedan chair. Xu Shu knelt down with him.

"The military advisor is really unpredictable!" Xu Shu exclaimed.

However, Zhuge Liang spat out blood violently, pressed his hands on the ground, and gasped for breath.

"What's wrong!?" Xu Shu was surprised. "Hurry! Call the medic here! ”

Zhuge Liang gasped, sat up straight again, wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, his face was as pale as four people, his cheeks were a little puffy, and he seemed to have suddenly fallen into the entanglement of disease.

"The military advisor has overworked for the Shu Kingdom!" Xu Shu choked up.

Zhuge Liang shook his head and sighed lightly: "With the power of heaven to kill, my lifespan will not be too long." ”

Xu Shu trembled when he heard this, punched the ground, and said: "If it weren't for the fact that I have no one in Shu and a bunch of mediocre talents, how could I ask the military advisor to make such a decision!" Even the king ......"

"Don't talk about it." Zhuge Liang stopped him. If Xu Shu said something disrespectful to Liu Bei, it would be unfavorable to him if it was spread out.

"The Lord is the king of benevolence, but it is a pity that he was born in troubled times." He said. "We can only do our best to assist the left and right."

"At the moment, General Guan and General Zhang don't know where to go, and I suddenly feel powerless." Xu Shu's fists were clenched tightly, and his eyes trembled.

"This is the fate of our vassals." Zhuge Liang smiled weakly.

The two were confined to the gloom of the sedan chair, locked into the ethics of being a courtier, and began to ponder the next step.

After the embarrassing defeat, the morale of the Pang Tong army was severely damaged. Some people even passed Zhuge Liang to be an immortal. Pang Tong ordered that if anyone dared to bewitch the public again, he would be beheaded and displayed to the public.

But the rain came really too timely, and even Pang Tong himself knew that Zhuge Liang, a Taoist, must have done something to call for wind and rain. The pool was now full of water and corpses, and if you swam through it, you might be in danger of contracting the plague. Pang Tong went down to the village outside the pass, and after waiting for half a month, the water completely retreated. Detectives were then sent into the lowlands and surveyed to the east, but no enemy soldiers were found. In hesitation, he ordered the cavalry to go too low, and after reaching the high place, he took precautions. Then, let the soldier run quickly across the pool filled with the breath of death. The decomposing corpses smelled foul, and some of them were swollen and shocking. Pang Tong never wanted to see these scenes again, and ordered the army to move forward.

At this time, Liu Bei actually received a holy decree from the Han Emperor in Chengdu, asking Liu Bei to take refuge in Wei with his civil and military forces, and leave soldiers to gather in Chengdu for the final desperate resistance. After Liu Bei got the holy decree, he held it tightly in his hand. Minister Dong Yun arched his hand and said: "This is Cao Cao's plan......"

"I know." Liu Bei said: "But what I can't bear is that at such a critical moment, it seems that I was kidnapped by Cao Cao." If you go to Wei to defect, everyone still has a way to live, and Pang Shiyuan will not embarrass the people. But just left, did you not believe Kong Ming too much? ”

"At this critical moment, we still have to wait for the military division to come back before discussing ......"

"Report! Advisor, please meet. Just then, the guards came to report.

Liu Bei's face sank and he took half a step back. Zhuge Liang is here, which means that the Hina Pass has been lost. He raised his cuffs and said, "Quick, please enter the palace quickly." ”

Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu arrived at Liu Bei's dormitory, Liu Bei stepped forward and clasped his hands tightly, and didn't know what to say for a long time, but sighed heavily.

"Don't disturb the king, I have delayed the time, and now I can set off to reach Jiangyang County, where there are more dangerous mountains, and it is very difficult for Pang Tong's army to break through, I have ordered all the troops to be transferred to Jiangyang intensively, and even the people of Chengdu County, Wuyang County, and Badong County will gather in Pasir County, where we will build the hardest fortifications, and there will be no loss." Zhuge Liang said calmly.

Liu Bei listened to it with a wide heart. At this moment, Dong Yun stepped forward and read the holy decree of the Han Emperor. Zhuge Liang chuckled and said: "Cao Mengde is finely calculated, as long as I am a talent in Shu." But he has a lot of elite soldiers and good generals in Wei, and we may be excluded if we go. Moreover, it was not yet that time. ”

"But this is also the decree we received at the end of the road." Xu Shu reminded behind him.

"What if it is the intention of the Han Emperor?" Liu Bei hesitated for a while.

"Why does the king distrust his own judgment so much, this must be Cao Mengde's trick." Zhuge Liang said solemnly, as if he was trying his best to wake Liu Bei. "Do not be intimidated by the difficulties before you and lose the dignity of the king."

Liu Bei had no choice but to nod.

Pang Tongjun's pace along the road was very slow, and they were all frightened by that Zhuge Liang. Moreover, the road in Shuzhong is very difficult to walk even if there are locals leading the way, the terrain is dangerous, and there may be ambushes in many places. It was like a frightened bird that walked for a month before arriving in Chengdu. The gate of Chengdu is open, and the people inside are empty. After Pang Tong learned about it in the Chinese army, he sighed and said: "The time and place are favorable, Zhuge Liang is too fine." In this predicament, there is only this Wolong for Shu to make such a struggle. It's a shame. He was still very unhappy that Zhuge Liang couldn't use it for himself.

got an empty city, but the houses, palaces, and roads inside all let Pang Tong see the once powerful side of Shu. In the process of repairing in Chengdu, he learned that Cao Cao had defeated Sun Quan's army, Sun Quan was seriously injured, and the remnants of the army retreated to Lujiang County. What's more, what's even more amazing is that Jiaozhou actually changed the flag of Wei and betrayed Wu. This was also a major blow to Sun Quan, no less than the battle with Cao Cao and the serious injuries he suffered.

"Sun Quan also underestimated Cao ****. But even if you are defeated, why was even Jiaozhou recovered by Cao Cao? ”

Pang Tong was puzzled, and another document arrived, stating that Shu had 300,000 troops in Pasir County, and more than 2 million people. Moreover, Jiangyang County, Brazil County, is mountainous and steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"Sure enough, even Wuyang County is empty?"

After he judged this, he ordered Lu Bu to lead 20,000 horsemen to gallop on the mountain road in Wuyang County, and arrived at the mountain city, although the gate was closed, the flag on the wall was still the same. But the whole city couldn't hear a sound, it was like a dead city. Then the gates were opened. There really is no soldier, not a single soldier, one animal inside, and he is clean.
