Chapter 618 doesn't know whether to live or die
The shouting and killing sound from Baishui Pass resounded in the sky, and Zhang Lu led his men and horses to block the pace of the Yizhou army with difficulty.
At this time, how he wished that someone could come to his aid, so as to give him a chance to breathe.
Soon his dream became a reality, and just when he and his subordinates were about to be unable to resist, Yan Pu, the First Army Division under his command, rushed over with reinforcements.
The addition of Yan Pu slowed down the pace of the Yizhou army's attack.
However, at this time, there were already more than 10,000 Yizhou troops who rushed into Baishui Pass, and it can be said that most of Baishui Pass had been lost.
The reason why Zhang Lu is still insisting here is because he doesn't want the Yizhou army to take Baishui Pass so easily.
Once they choose to evacuate now and hand over Baishui Pass to the Yizhou Army, then even if Yang Ren opens the gate and releases water, it will not play much role.
The Yizhou army only needs to be on a high place, quietly waiting for the flood to recede, and then it can drive straight into the entire Hanzhong.
At that time, he will either leave this family business behind and become a small official under other princes, or he will survive and die with the Han Dynasty.
Either of these two options was unacceptable to him, so he wanted to make another last stand.
At this time, he is always in the sight of the enemy, and the enemy will definitely regard him as the main target.
Then as long as he can drag people until the flood comes, then both the Yizhou army and his own troops will suffer heavy losses.
Although this is a bit sorry for his subordinates, it can inflict heavy losses on the Yizhou army.
This completely interrupted their pace of continuing the attack, and even if he was buried in the flood at that time, he would have no regrets.
Anyway, Hanzhong lost himself and his younger brother, as long as his younger brother is still alive, then there is still hope for Hanzhong.
And maybe because of this disastrous victory, there will be great turmoil in Yizhou, so that his younger brother will have a chance!
This is the reason why Zhang Lu is still insisting at this time, but even if Zhang Lu has received the support of Yan Pu, but now they have a tendency to hold on.
It was mainly the enemy troops who entered the city, and the blow to the morale of their soldiers was too serious.
If it weren't for the fact that he, the lord now, is still fighting hard, maybe the soldiers under his command would have fled in the desert.
Even so, deserters inevitably appeared in his team, but at this time, Zhang Lu had no way to stop it.
Just when the form was becoming more and more critical, suddenly Zhang Lu heard a rumbling thunder.
At that time, Zhang Lu's eyes lit up, and he looked in the direction where Yang Ren was with hopeful eyes, and soon he confirmed that the sound was coming from that direction.
When Zhang Lu was pleasantly surprised, Pang Xi, who had just entered Baishui Pass, also heard the same sound, but unlike Zhang Lu, Pang Xi's face was not so good-looking.
Even at this time, Pang Xi's face had turned as white as paper.
He really couldn't figure out why, God would fool himself so much?
It is clear that he has given himself the opportunity to win, but when victory is within reach, God ruthlessly takes away the victory that is about to come!
At this time, most of the men and horses under his command were not able to rush into Baishui Pass.
Once the flood rushes down, those soldiers who did not enter the Baishui Pass will still die under the flood, and even he does not know how many of the soldiers who entered the Baishui Pass will survive?
Once the casualties of the soldiers are too heavy, what is the use of him even if he takes Baishui Pass?
I will also be pulled out and cut by the angry lord, and my efforts for so many days will still come to naught!
So even if it was for his own life, Pang Xi couldn't sit back and watch the tragedy happen in front of his eyes!
At this time, although he can no longer prevent the flood from coming, he can do his best to reduce his own losses.
There is only one way to reduce losses, and that is to lead more soldiers into the White Water Pass as soon as possible.
Then find a suitable high ground, so that at least the soldiers who climbed the high ground can be saved.
Thinking of this, Pang Xi immediately carried his blade and rushed to the front line.
At this time, the only one who can stop them is Zhang Lu!
As long as he kills or forces Zhang Lu to retreat in a short period of time, then he can protect his soldiers to the greatest extent.
But at this time, Zhang Lu has also learned to be smart, and he has begun to retreat continuously.
and ordered his soldiers to deploy in front of him, in order to delay Pang Xi's attack as much as possible.
Sure enough, Zhang Lu's arrangement achieved good results.
Although Pang Xi was already desperately trying to rush forward, there were too many people in front of him, including not only his enemies but also his own people who had no time to dodge.
Even if Pang Xi tried his best, he was never able to get close enough between himself and Zhang Lu.
Just when he was about to despair, the flood that made him completely desperate rushed down from the high ground not far away.
The Yizhou army outside the city was the first to notice that something was wrong, but they only had time to see a white waterline before they were swept into it by the rapidly approaching flood.
Subsequently, more people were also pulled into the merciless flood peak.
The soldiers of Yizhou, as the first to suffer from the persecution of the floods, were desperate and helpless.
They tried to flee but there was no direction, and they could only watch as the flood swallowed themselves.
Although the two soldiers in Baishui Pass did not encounter the flood attack at the first time, the sudden disaster still made the soldiers on both sides dumbfounded.
It wasn't until the water was up to their knees that many people reacted.
They no longer cared about fighting the enemy, but directly threw down the swords and guns in their hands and fled straight to the walls, roofs and other high places not far away.
They knew that only by escaping there could they have any hope of escaping the catastrophe!
Just when the officers and soldiers of the two armies were all in chaos, the people in Baishui Pass also discovered that something was wrong.
At this time, they didn't care, and there were still people fighting at the door of the house, and they all rushed out of the house in a hurry.
For a while, the cries of the people, the desperate roars of the soldiers on both sides, and the miserable howls of some people before they died.
It was as terrifying as if Baishuiguan was a hell on earth, but Zhang Lu and Yan Pu disappeared as soon as the flood arrived.
At this time, in Baishui Pass, only a dumbfounded Pang Xi was left, he looked at the soldiers who disappeared quickly around him, and Pang Xi's heart was dead for a while.
He knew that he was finished, and this time even if he took the Lord of Baishui Guan, he would not let him go!
In this case, it is better to die and be completely destroyed, but Pang Xi's attempt to self-judge has not been realized.
He was desperately rescued by his attendants to the top of the wall of Baishui Pass, and at the moment when he had just climbed the wall, he heard a voice that made him feel extremely disgusted:
"Dashuai, now the villain has followed the agreement and opened the door of Baishui Pass. You see when you can honor the reward you promised the villain? ”
