Chapter 209: Crossing the Long River at Night

"Sacrifice?" Pang Tong's mind was reminded of those incredible and magical events, and the shadow of Taoism emerged. He does not deny the existence of incredible powers.

"Well, the current sacrifice is Meng Huo's woman Zhu Rong, known as the god of fire. However, it does not mean to burn things, but it means to fire fire, which can give people hope. Because of the power of sacrifice, the Mon people were invisibly deified, and of course no tribe dared to fight easily. ”

Looking at the gradually fading sky, as well as the heavy rain and fog, Pang Tong sighed: "Fortunately, I didn't rush to a head-on battle. ”

On this day, the rain fell until late at night, and the fatigue of everyone was removed.

Before he crossed the boundary river, Pang Tong had already received a lot of information from spies. The Liaoman clan and the Dilong clan teamed up to besiege the county. In terms of time, it should have been four days. However, the spies reported that the city was alive and well. The person in charge of defending the city in the city should be Kundong of the Kun nationality, with 30,000 guards. And the enemy is strong.

As they approached the battlefield, the spies reported that there had been three strong attacks, all of which had been repulsed by the defenders. After the Ren army descended ten miles to the west of the Dilong clan, the Dilong clan did not dare to rashly attack the city, while the Liaoman tribe who went down to the village more than ten miles north of the city did not dare to attack alone.

In such a situation, some people actually saw the cavalry in the city go out and go straight to the Dazhai of the Dilong Clan. This incident shocked Xuewen, Qingzun, and Ludu, and they came to Pangtong's camp. Qingzun said angrily: "This shameful child has turned his back on righteousness!" ”

"It's better to wave the army west and raze the city of his clan!" Lu Du also had an angry face.

Pang Tong was very calm about this matter, and said: "I don't believe that Kundong will rebel. ”

"His envoys have all gone to the village, this is what the spies saw! How can it be fake? Lu Du said, and made gestures when he said to strengthen the authenticity of the words.

"Stand down, I have my own opinions."

Pang Tong's voice was very calm, and everyone didn't dare to say more. Two days later, another spy reported that the cavalry in the city had arrived at the Dazhai of the Dilong Clan.

Several elders went to Pang Tong's office to speak.

Qingzun opened the curtain and walked in, followed by the two people behind. Qingzun sighed: "It's already an irrefutable fact for him, what else is there to wonder?" ”

"Impossible." Pang Tong said coldly, with a solemn expression, and grasped the tiger head carving on the front of the armrest of the chair. At this time, Xue Yue was standing still behind him. Lu Du said to Xueyue: "The clan mother ......"

"Let's go."

Xue Yue saw Pang Tong's decision. Everyone was speechless, and after looking at each other, they all walked away as if they had suffered defeat. Pang Tong watched the curtain float up, and he had a sense of calm in his heart, firmly locking that sense of trust.

That night, the envoys of the city came to Dazhai to ask to see Pang Tong. The envoy entered the camp tent and hurriedly said: "Great patriarch, please raise troops to attack the Dazhai of the Earth Dragon Clan on the fourth watch today." We have already lured the Earth Dragon Clan to attack your Dazhai in the fourth watch. ”

Pang Tong curled the corner of his mouth and said with a row of handrails: "I know." ”

At the fourth watch of the night, Pang Tong arranged two ambushes to crawl on the plain, and stopped when he heard the sound of marching. The people of the Earth Dragon Clan are also well prepared, their horses are wrapped in their feet, their mouths are tightened, and they look like they are sneak attacking. But the long black serpent did not expect that he was stepping into the trap of the enemy.

The two ambushers suddenly surrounded them under the cover of the sound of horns. The Earth Dragons are in turmoil. Hearing the sound of the trumpet, the Ren army opened the door and left the village, and the cavalry galloped forward, like sharp swords stabbing at the chaotic enemy soldiers.

At the same time, five thousand cavalry galloped in the county town, killing from the rear, surrounded on all sides, and the momentum of the slaughter made the Earth Dragon Clan miserable. Pang Tong's horses fought outside the circle, and the fighting in the dark night always carried a strong smell of grass and blood, and the sound of shouting and killing and weapon exchanges was endless. The battle lasted until dawn. After knowing that the friendly army was ambushed, the Liaoman tribe of Jianning County rushed to the rescue, but unexpectedly the defenders in the city opened the west gate and raided the rear army. After the main force of the Ren tribe exterminated the Dilong clan, they pursued and killed all the way, and then surrounded the army of the Liaoman tribe.

By noon, more than 40,000 people had been killed or wounded by the Earth Dragons, and the remnants surrendered. The Liaoman tribe is known as an expedition of 100,000 troops, but in fact there are 80,000 people, of which more than 40,000 are weak. Just after being surrounded by the Ren army, the patriarch Liao Duo actually ordered a sneak attack, which saved a worry for the Ren army.

After arriving in the city, Pang Tong came to the palace, and gave a thumbs up to Kundong who was present, and said, "Good job." ”

The other elders were ashamed. Qingzun stubbornly smiled at Kun Dong and said, "It's really wrong to blame Elder Kun." ”

Quinton smiled: "I don't blame everyone. I really saw that the Earth Dragon Clan was eager to fight, so I sent a messenger to tell them that they could help defeat the Ren Clan, who had a grudge against the Kun Clan, so I gave the city to the Earth Dragon Clan. The Earth Dragon Clan obviously didn't know or understand the situation of the Great Fusion of my Ren Clan, so they actually agreed. ”

"If they don't take this plan, they probably won't be able to do anything." Pang Tong said, looking at a few patriarchs, he showed a knowing smile. "The Dilong Clan and the Liaoman Clan have attacked the city that has not been defeated three times, will it be so easy to rebel? This kind of thing still needs to be carefully considered, if we are as reckless as the Earth Dragon Clan, won't we become unscrupulous? ”

Xue Wen, who was preoccupied, suddenly spoke: "What about the Liaoman clan?" ”

"Liaoduo said to let the people of the headquarters go back and disband the army. From now on, I will be at my disposal to merge all the tribes into the Ren tribe. Pang Tong replied.

"Be cautious." Although he had already misjudged Kundong, Xuewen still reminded Pang Tong.

But Pang Tong's attitude towards this was the same as his attitude towards Kundong that day.

Pang Tong began to reorganize the soldiers and horses, especially the subdued troops of the Earth Dragon Clan. He came to the underground prison to talk to Yongwu, the leader of the Earth Dragon Clan, who looked like he would rather die than give in, and refused to say anything. But since the surrender had already revealed a lot of things, he also knew a little about the situation of the Earth Dragon Clan. The Dilong clan should still have tens of thousands of horses in Yongchang County, and the main force is in the north to confront the army of Shu.

At the beginning of September, the scorching heat was still rolling. Something strange happened. The Iron Needle Clan, now known as the Darkmoon Battalion, came to Pang Tong's study to ask for an audience. Pang Tong ordered him to come in. After entering, the man in a seemingly ordinary sleeveless cloth robe reported: "Great Patriarch, Liao Duo, the patriarch of the Liaoman clan, has absconded. ”

Pang Tong nodded slightly. Soon after the spies left, Qingzun ran over, pushed the door directly, and said, "Oh no! Liaoduo ran away! ”

Pang Tongzheng looked at a landscape painting on the table, and after hearing this, he slowly raised his head and said, "You sent someone to monitor him?" ”

"I thought this person was suspicious for a long time, isn't there really something wrong now?"

"Oh, then let the tiger go back to the mountain."

"How can this be, please order the pursuit of the clan, I can serve my life!"

Pang Tong threw a scroll of paintings to him. "Don't get too excited, I knew he would be against it. I'm going to beat him to the bumper. ”

"That will make my army lose its troops!"

"Don't worry, I have a way, and I already noticed his clumsy plot when this guy was about to surrender."

Pang Tong immediately wrote several documents to several envoys, and one day sent an envoy to the Liaoman tribe in Jianning County. The content of the letter is to ask Liaoduo to keep his promise and return to the Ren people. But after several envoys went, they all came back and said that Liaoduo was unwilling to take refuge in the Ren people. And the last messenger did not return, and Pang Tong must have been killed.

The Ren army raised 100,000 troops and marched north. At a large river bordering Jianning County, I saw that all the Banqiao had been deliberately vandalized. On the other side of the river was the Liaoman army, which was already arrayed, and behind the army was a white tent. The flags were planted on the river bank one by one, and they looked like they were fighting against the Ren army with a twenty-zhang wide boundary river.

Pang Tong walked a little way by the river and said to the herald: "One mile away from the river, go down to the village." ”

Every day after that, there were soldiers of the Ren tribe shouting by the river, demanding that Liaoduo keep his promise and surrender early. Later, some people said that Liaoduo had no faith. Later, it was to let the soldiers of the Liaoman tribe see clearly the wolf ambitions of Liaoduo, so as not to annihilate the whole army.

Liaoduo ignored this.

One day, Pang Tongjun lined up by the river, looking like he was trying to find a way to cross the river. At the same time, small boats were pulled on large oxen-led shuttles. The soldiers of the Liaoman tribe immediately lined up and waited for the battle. However, a dozen miles away, Pang Tongjun tied together a round wooden barrel called a wooden poppy with ropes, and then rowed across to the opposite bank. This convenient barrel was widely manufactured, transporting large numbers of soldiers to the other side. At this time, the Liaoman tribe was still nervously watching the Ren army opposite the camp, but Pang Tong had crossed the river with 10,000 elite soldiers. At night, Pang Tong lay on his waist in the dense grass with his sword in his hand. He was already disgraced, and he didn't know how many times he spat out from the grass roots blown by the wind. It was an unbearable, sultry night in the grass, and countless stars twinkled in the sky.

"It's not going to rain lately, and it's damn weather again tomorrow." Pang Tong muttered quietly, he was complaining.

Xue Yue on one side said angrily: "Do you feel hot?" You didn't see me dressed in black. ”

Hearing this, Pang Tong reflected, he **** half-body, and Xueyue is still in tights, which is boring enough to think about. He smirked and said, "If you take it off, it's done." ”

Xue Yue was angry, but they were crawling forward, and the enemy was within a mile away, and the unfenced camp was close at hand.

After taking time to calm down her emotions, Xue Yue said, "Do you want other men to see my body?" ”

Pang Tong is like being struck by lightning, which is absolutely unacceptable. He immediately lowered his voice and apologized, "I was wrong. "It's like a child's words after making a mistake, and it really doesn't look like the words of a commander-in-chief. But Xue Yue listened to it and took a deep breath of comfort.

The Liaoman army pressed down on the river, holding torches high, and the Ren tribe on the opposite bank was also heavy with torches.
