Chapter 39: The Battle of the Longtan River (Part II)

The sudden killing of the Huanglongzhai people really frightened Ma Chi, and he was about to withdraw immediately, but was dissuaded by the military Sima Pangxin:

"General, no! If you run away and sit back and watch Lord Fang be killed by thieves, this news will reach the ears of Lord Commander, and you will be dismissed from your post and imprisoned......"

Ma Chi's face turned pale, and he said helplessly: "But since it has been ambushed, the sneak attack has turned into a strong attack, and I don't think it may be successful......

"Otherwise, ......" Pang Xin pointed to the other side and said: "Look, General Ling Cao has stabilized the situation and started to fight back, I think there are only more than 100 thieves, maybe this is just a small part of the accidental discovery, since General Ling has controlled the situation, it means that it is safe to cross the river, as long as our army crosses the river, it is a matter of minutes to annihilate them, and the same can be a successful sneak attack, and it will be easier to break through the cottage if we can successfully eat this part ......of the thieves."

Pang Xin is Ma Chi's most valued subordinate, and after listening to his words, Ma Chi was also a little hesitant, panting and saying:

"You...... Are you sure? ”

"A certain wish to make a military order. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Pang Xin knew that he couldn't hesitate at this time, what kind of person Ma Chi was, he couldn't be clearer, if he escaped from the battle today, he would definitely put the black cauldron on his subordinates afterwards, as the military Sima, he was the most likely candidate, then he was almost dead, and he had to make sure that there would be no such situation.

Ma Chi was a little hesitant: "You can only take a maximum of six hundred people at a time, or ...... You board the ship first with 600 men, and I and the remaining 200 men stay in formation. ”

"Don't ......," Pang Xin said with anger held back his anger: "My lord, as the commander-in-chief, if you don't get on the ship, it will greatly affect the morale of our army...... Don't worry, my lord, this time is very safe, it will be fine, you can trust me once...... If Huanglongzhai is leveled this time, the county guard will definitely look at you differently, and the order for you to change to a rich place to raise troops will come down. ”

In fact, Pang Xin was afraid that Ma Chi would suddenly run away with the remaining two hundred people, wouldn't the soldiers who crossed the river be disheartened and had no intention of fighting, he knew that Ma Chi might really do this kind of thing.

Seeing that Ma Chi was a little shaken, Pang Xin added another fire: "My lord...... You are 6 out of 40 this year, can you wait another decade? My lord, give the order! ”

Ma Chi's face twitched, and after hesitation, he finally made up his mind: "Okay, listen to you, let's get on the boat-"

"Your Excellency is wise!" Pang Xin wiped a cold sweat, waved his hand and ordered: "Get on the boat-"

……

Seeing the soldiers on the other side of the river getting on the raft, Ling Cao and Fang Yihai looked at each other with a special tacit understanding, and they were relieved, they were really afraid that Ma Chi, the coward, would leave them and run away alone, Ling Cao said loudly:

"Everyone, don't panic, stand still, hold on a little longer, and wait until General Ma's support arrives, and the counterattack will be successful immediately!"

Hearing Ling Cao's shout, the corners of Zhang Fan's mouth rose slightly, he silently counted the time in his heart, and turned his head to look at the raft in the middle of the river.

Tsk, what a spectacular picture:

The raft that had reached the middle of the river suddenly and inexplicably cracked, and then the soldiers on the raft fell into the water like dumplings, as did several large boats, and suddenly leaked everywhere, and then gradually sank......

Ma Chi was so anxious that he shouted: "Pang Xin, Pang Xin, this ...... What's going on? ”

Pang Xin replied with a pale face: "My lord, it must be those thieves, we have been fooled...... They have done their hands and feet on these boats and rafts, and they are all done......"

Seeing that the river was flooding little by little, Ma Chi was so panicked that he reprimanded angrily:

"What? You bastard, you have to let me cross the river, say, are you colluding with thieves...... Are you going to kill me? Why not check it out, and what now? Waiting to be drowned? ”

Pang Xin also dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, and scolded Ma Chi half to death in his heart:

Made, the situation was critical, the army across the river was under siege, you old thing was bent on escaping, how could the labor and management have the time to check this?

However, Pang Xin didn't dare to say what was in his heart, and apologized again and again:

"My lord, there are thousands of mistakes, all of them are at fault...... But let's save that for later...... The immediate priority is to flee for your life...... Hurry up and take off this armor, right? ”

"Bastard, what are you doing with your armor? Do you want me to shoot the thieves to death? ”

, how can I put up an idiot boss like you?

Pang Xin patiently explained: "My lord, if I pry off a plank, let's grab it, and we won't be drowned, but the armor is too heavy, and the plank can't bear the weight, not to mention affecting the action in the water, wouldn't it be ......."

Only then did Ma Chi come to his senses, as if his body was on fire, he threw his armor and helmet into the water as quickly as possible, and if it wasn't for Pang Xin to stop him, he almost took off his underwear......

Pang Xin and Ma Chi's two guards worked together to pry off a large piece of wood from the boat, and the four of them were lying on their stomachs or sitting, finally avoiding drowning for the time being......

The four of them were lucky, but the others were not so lucky, except for a few lucky ones who caught the floating planks, most of them fell into the water and struggled, and the wails were endless, and it was unbearable to see......

A wail pierced his eardrums like a sharp needle, Pang Xin couldn't bear to close his eyes, but Ma Chi suddenly grabbed his hand and trembled and said:

"Pang Xin, will we die? What to do? Fang Yihai's old puppet misunderstood me! This bastard...... My Army...... My Reputation...... My status...... It's all over! ”

Pang Xin finally suppressed his urge not to push him down the river, endure, I want to hold back, took a long breath, Pang Xin still couldn't help but disgust him:

"My lord, you must hold on to it, if you fall, it will be over, there is something under this water...... Don't you think it's strange that there are some good water-based people in our army, but they didn't swim up when they fell? ”

Ma Chi's voice trembled slightly: "What is it?" No...... It can't be a thief's army, right? Aren't we done then? ”

"No, there must be a master in this cottage. The thief's sailor army is afraid that he will not dare to enter the water at this time, and I estimate that there are fishing nets and the like below...... It's hard to get out of it as long as you get it. ”

In fact, Pang Xin only guessed half of it, in addition to the rotten fishing nets arranged below, there was also a barbed wire with barbs that Zhang Fan exchanged from the system, he couldn't see anything in the water, as long as he got it, he would either die or be injured, and it was almost difficult to get out......

Ma Chi glanced at the water with a pale face, and couldn't help but feel sad, eager to jump down and die, but the hand holding Pang Xin tightened......

……

In just one cup of tea, Fang Yihai experienced a journey from heaven to hell, watching the six hundred minions like lobsters being pushed into boiling water, struggling violently and wailing...... Still unable to escape, Fang Yihai instantly felt a few years older.

He was paralyzed to the ground, there was a fire burning in his heart, and his chest ached so much that he couldn't lift up any strength, but he heard a cheer from the forest, and then the thieves shouted in unison:

"The horse is dead, lay down the arms, surrender and avoid death, surrender and avoid death......"

I saw a cannon sound, and more than 100 people came out from the north, west, and east, holding knives, guns, arrows, and crossbows to surround them on the river beach, and suddenly Fang Yihai's eyes were dark, and the sky was spinning, only to hear the shouts of the thieves echoing over and over again:

Surrender or die, surrender and die......

Then, he didn't know anything......
