Chapter 210: Glaive Killing Array Slashes the Barbarian King
Pang Tong approached the tent, and the itchy feeling that his body was itching from time to time due to rubbing against the grass could finally pause for a moment. He took out the bamboo pipe he called the fire fold, and when he pulled out a section, there was still a spark in the long strip of paper, and he blew it hard, and the fire page burned again. The water bag in his other hand was full of kerosene, and with a smug expression he poured the kerosene onto the tent and lit it with the burning paper in the fold of the fire. Others are doing the same.
"It's on fire!"
The voice was heard throughout the tent. The Liaoman people think that some reckless fellow accidentally knocked over the brazier on the iron frame, but in fact this is the prelude to the battle. At a time when this group of people is in a hurry. The boat on the shore of the Rins on the opposite side was already full of archers. Dozens of boats carrying thousands of people rowed over. Seeing this battle, Liao Duo commanded to deal with the enemy soldiers coming from the other side while fighting fires. The whole Dazhai was in a hurry.
"Kill!"
Pang Tong was like a spring that broke through the enchantment of darkness and flames. The soldier carrying the bucket stood stunned, and in an instant, Pang Tong's steel sword had slashed through his neck. The skull rolled off, and blood from the throat spurted out, staining the burning tent. The corpse fell, combined with the fire on the ground, and the leather armor could not withstand the temperature of the fire and burned.
The shouting and killing in Dazhai terrified the Liaoman people.
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
The voice of the Ren army deeply touched the soldiers of the tired Liaoman tribe and the small tribes. In particular, the old and weak soldiers lost their weapons one after another, looking like they were at the mercy of slaughter. There are many people who have received courtesy from the Ren people after surrendering instead of harming them, so they have a good impression of the Ren people. At this moment, it was the treachery of the Liaoman tribe that caused the great war. They had resentment in their hearts, but this hatred was against Liaoduo, and even the people of the Liaoman tribe thought so, causing the army to collapse at the first touch. Pang Tong's army annihilated more than 1,000 enemies, and all the others surrendered.
Liaoduo was even tied up by soldiers of a small tribe called the Ying and given to the Ren tribe. Pang Tong saw Liao Duo in the camp tent with his cloak scattered and kneeling on the ground.
"Convincing or not?"
"Hey......" Liao Duo only sighed, he didn't understand why his people had surrendered. But this is exactly what Pang Tong made after he surrendered, and implemented this great plan to convince people with virtue. Including at the beginning, after Liaoduo rebelled, Pang Tong did not immediately raise troops, but sent envoys to persuade him, so he did the first salute and then the soldiers. This incident was also called a good story by the elders, and everyone was amazed by Pang Tong.
The remnants of the entire Jianning County did not resist and took refuge in the Ren tribe. Under the trend of the times, the city of the Liaoman tribe opened its gates and took the initiative to replace it with the banner of the Ren people. After defeating the Dilong clan and striking at the Mon clan, the Ren tribe gained the land of Jianning County. It has become a large clan with a territory equivalent to Yongchang County, and the surrounding forces do not dare to act rashly, because a tribe that cannot be defeated by the combined forces of the Earth Dragon Clan and the Meng Clan is not something they can fight against. The prestige of the Ren people spread everywhere, and both the Central Plains and Shu paid attention to it. It was not because this tribe benefited the territory of the three counties on that side of the prefecture, but because the name of the tribe called Ren was similar to the name of the powerful Ren country in the north, which made the princes feel incredible. But no one associates a tribe with a nation. After all, in the eyes of the princes, the Ren people are just a rebel army in Shu.
In Nanyu County, the coalition army, which had planned to stand out, took the initiative to surrender to Shu after learning of the war in the south. They knew that if they continued to fight like this, they would be swallowed up by the Ren clan with Feng Xiao as the patriarch, and then it would be nonsense to oppose the Shu Kingdom, and even the reinforcements in the rear would be impossible to talk about. Shu also knew the complexity of the situation in the south, in order not to let one tribe become bigger. Liu Bei demanded that Yonghong lead the rebels back to the south and defeat the increasingly powerful Ren tribe.
In this context, the more than 400,000 troops of the coalition army, which had not actually fought against the army of Shu, counterattacked towards the south. Although the purpose of the Shu Liu Bei and Yonghong coalition forces is the same, the purpose of Shu is more, that is, to make the southern forces lose both, and in the end no one talks about the villain. Otherwise, Shu will never have the energy to plan the conquest of the north and the Central Plains.
Of the seven southern counties, Yongchang County, Yuewang County, Zhuti County, and Yunnan County are not in the hands of the Ren people. With the strength of the three counties, it is the four counties that have not suffered much damage. In fact, conceptually speaking, the three counties owned by Pang Tong were all acquired after the Great War and seemed to be injured animals, while the other four counties were eager tigers. But just when those elders of the Ren clan were a little worried about this. Pang Tong said to them in the lobby: "The enemy is scattered and has no cohesion. We are a unified tribe with a centripetal force that they do not have, and they will be defeated by our fist, which has gathered all the power of the three counties. ”
The elders were relieved by this. While feeling a little relieved, no one was reassured about this matter. The coalition forces drove the army to Juti County, northeast of Jianning County and west of Qiqi County. Such a strategic layout can simultaneously deter most of the territory of the Ren people. Yonghong sent people to issue a document to the Ren people for a decisive battle. Pang Tong actually replied with a letter agreeing to this matter. The elders were shocked. Everyone knows that the coalition army is powerful, and they are all fully armed elite soldiers, how can they be shaken immediately. Puzzled, the elders began to learn to calm themselves, and then quietly watched Pang Tong's actions.
Pang Tong gathered 200,000 troops and marched directly to Zhuti County, which surprised the coalition forces. Yonghong, who felt that it was a good thing, issued a document agreeing to fight in Hanyang County, Zhuti County, in an attempt to defeat the Ren army that he regarded as pampered and arrogant in one fell swoop.
At the beginning of October, on the plain between the two mountains, the two villages were separated by more than 20 miles. Yonghong sent a series of documents asking for a battle, but the Ren army at the agreed place was closed, and Pang Tong replied with a letter: "I have come from afar, and I need to rest for a while." ”
In this regard, Yonghong did not rush into the army, he knew that storming the camp would only fall into the enemy's scheme, so he waited patiently.
Commander Pang Tong played with a pair of green jade balls sent by Snow Pattern in the camp tent, and looked at the candle flame. He said to Xue Yue, who was lying on the couch behind him, "Who do you think will win?" ”
"Ask me?" Xue Yue suddenly did it, as if she had heard this incredible question.
"Of course, it's just you here, don't ask who you ask? Could it be that you have hidden a man under the collapse! ”
The sharp weapon passed directly through the right side of Pang Tong's cheek, and a handful of hair was cut off in an instant, and the dart passed through the tent and was swallowed by the darkness.
"You dead man with no conscience, if you say this kind of thing again, I will definitely kill you!"
Pang Tong spread his hands and said, "Let your lord slaughter." But you haven't answered my question yet. ”
"I'm a woman like me, I don't understand military affairs, don't ask me."
Pang Tong was like meeting someone who couldn't communicate, especially someone who couldn't give an opinion on his tactics, which made him feel very bored. Before the dull silence almost froze everyone, Xue Yue actually spoke.
"There are twice as many people as there are us, and on the surface we will lose. But in reality, you won't be a fool. I don't know the art of war, but I know you have a lot of ideas in your head. It's just that you don't know which play you're going to play every time. ”
"You don't seem to be asking as much as you used to." Pang Tong threw the double ball up, kicked it up, and both balls shot backwards. Xue Yue held up her two hands like a lazy and weak patient to catch the ball.
"If you ask, you won't say, so why bother."
"Am I a strange and difficult person to get close to?" Pang Tong suddenly asked. Xueyue answered this question without even thinking about it.
"Yes."
"So don't even try to see through me." Pang Tong stared at the void in front of him, the curtain moving in the night wind. And Xue Yue, who was behind her, looked at the two green jade balls gathered in the palm of her right hand, and showed a helpless wry smile.
Pang Tong asked the soldiers to open the gate of the village, led the horses to the river to the west to wash, and sent many patrols around. The horses were thin and the soldiers were sickly. Every night, you can hear the song and swallow dance of the warbler in the village, and the sound of the dance reaches the sky. The soldiers under Yonghong, who had witnessed and heard all this, reported the situation. Yonghong immediately ordered the army to challenge outside the Pangtong village. But Pang Tong did not respond to the battle, but just made a long ladder and leaned against the fence, climbed up and carefully looked at the formation of the enemy soldiers. The enemy soldiers came to line up every day. Pang Tong directly opened the gate of the wall, and Yonghong retreated directly after careful consideration. He sent out a war letter every day to war. After half a month, Pang Tong returned the document and promised a decisive battle. Yonghong was excited, and the army went out of the village to spread out on the plain, and the lineup was spectacular.
Back then, there were many old, weak, sick and disabled people in Yuan Tan's army of 400,000. But Yonghong's 400,000 coalition troops are all elite soldiers, and there is no impurity in them.
The army of the people of Ren went into battle. Pang Tong was surrounded by heralds, who were busy under his orders. Since the soldiers had been trained accordingly, this matter was also easy to do. The overall shape of the army has become an arc, shaped like a crescent, with the moon blade facing the enemy. The bottom of the crescent recess of this asymmetrical formation is where Pang Tong is located. The enemy was a simple phalanx, and thought that Pang Tongjun had messed up the formation due to timidity, so he came out in a chaotic formation. As a result, the enemy general judged that the Ren army was not in order.
However, the sudden charge of the Ren army was completely unexpected by the enemy soldiers. Yonghong hurriedly ordered the beating of war drums, echoing the sound of the horns of the Ren clan. On the ground under the sky, the square army began to charge, and the army of the Ren tribe slashed through it like a blade. The two armies collided, and the Pang Tong army, which was arrayed in the glaive array, resisted the enemy with thick moon rings. However, the seemingly weak recess of the crescent moon contained the killing machine, where was the location of a thousand elite soldiers and the Ren Clan's Fire Blade Battalion, as well as the commander Pang Tong, which was the most lethal position in the entire formation. And the crescent moon also cut into the enemy's right flank at this moment. Although the right flank resisted stubbornly, the terrain was vulnerable under the charge of the elite cavalry of Pang Tong's army. Pang Tong rushed to the front, slashing with two swords, and blood flowed all over the ground. He dodged in the swords, guns, and halberds of the enemy, and the severity of the enemy was like a phantom that could never be reached.
The enemy soldiers were entangled, and Pang Tong shouted: "Yonghong descends early!" ”
