When Pang Xi heard that Pang Tong asked him to charge, his legs were weak, he was fifty-nine years old this year, in this era, he was also considered an old man, originally Ma Hong fought in Eastern Wu, he was unwilling to participate, but Ma Hong specially asked him to join the war, he wanted to refuse, but Ma Hong said that even General Huang Lao went to the battlefield. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Pang Xi also roughly understood what Ma Hong meant, Ma Hong's meaning is very clear, you Pang Xi is uncomfortable with me in your heart, and when you need to perform a dangerous task, you will be sent there.

The king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, and now Pang Xi's family is in the Chu State, and the rights in his hands have been stripped away by Ma Hong, and the soldiers he brought are all Zhang Wei's soldiers, and Zhang Wei's soldiers can't listen to him, even if he surrenders to Eastern Wu, it's impossible.

"General Pang, you are old, and the prime minister didn't want you to charge, but you have rich battlefield experience, and you can't complete this mission unless you can." Yang Yi said to Pang Xi.

Pang Xi saluted Yang Yi and his entourage: "Please tell the king that the last general is willing to shed the last drop of blood for the Chu State, and I only hope that the king can treat the last general's family well." ”

Yang Yi nodded and said, "The words must be brought." ”

Pang Xi looked up at the sky, the moon and stars were scarce, he sighed, pulled out his long sword and shouted: "All the soldiers!" Rush with me!! ”

After that, Pang Xi, under the escort of the guards, rushed towards the enemy formation with difficult steps.

"Pang Xi is very determined!" Pang Tong said to Yang Yi who came back.

Yang Yi nodded and said, "The will to fall into battle is dead and lifeless!" ”

Ling Tong shuttled through the darkness, the spear broke, his sword-holding hands numb as if they had been electrocuted from the blow he had just given to the hard armor, and his cheeks felt the airflow brought by the blade brushing by, and the coldness of the blade was felt from the airflow.

The battle was fought from day to night, from night to day, Zhu Ran's army still did not come to support, Ling Tong stood on the pile of corpses, looking at the enemy in front of him, they were already very tired, they could no longer charge, they walked slowly, rushing towards him. Ling Tong looked back at his soldiers, and the two sides were evenly outnumbered.

Pang Xi gasped and squatted on the ground, he hadn't fought for many years, last night and night, he was already dizzy, his face was scratched by a sword, there was no injury on his body, he could clearly feel the pain on his face, he looked at the young man standing on the pile of corpses, covered in blood, he used to be as young as him, but he was too old to withstand the torment of war.

"Haha!! No one cares about Chu State! You bad old man was sent to die! Ling Tong laughed, took the sword that cut the blade and cut the neck of the Chu soldiers who rushed up, pointed at Pang Xi and laughed.

Pang Xi stood up and wanted to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he squatted on the ground again, he was so tired that he didn't even want to speak.

There are less than 1,000 Chu soldiers, and there are less than 1,000 Eastern Wu soldiers, and the two sides are facing each other, neither of them is charging, and the arrows have been shot out. Ling Tong stood on the pile of corpses like a grim reaper, all the people who approached him were crushed, and the soldiers knew that whoever was the first to go up was the first to die, so they were unwilling to go up again, even if it was the Chu army that was resolute in battle, it was suppressed by Ling Tong's momentum, knowing that it was death, and the number of the other party was not less than them, they were really tired, tired and wanted to withdraw the army, wanted to go back to fill their stomachs, wanted to see their parents, and wanted to pull the hands of their wives and children.

"General, give the order to withdraw the troops! Without reinforcements, we can't fight. ”

"No...... No...... Can't be withdrawn! ”

Pang Xi shook his body and stood up with his sword in his hand, he knew that it would be fine if he died on the battlefield, but if he withdrew and survived, it would definitely be better to live than to die.

"Last night I had a glimmer of hope that I could win this fight, and it seems that I thought too much." Pang Xi sighed in his heart, holding his sword and staggering towards Ling Tong.

Ling Tong looked at Pang Xi, the old man who had already penetrated into half of the loess, and instantly became angry and admired in his heart, and said, "Old general, let me know your name." ”

"Young man, it seems that we are all outcasts."

Pang Xi took the sword and walked towards Ling Tong step by step, the soldiers of the Chu army watched the old general move forward, how could they retreat, dragging their tired bodies and following Pang Xi towards Ling Tong.

The soldiers behind Ling Tong were ready with spears and shields.

Pang Xi looked at Ling Tong's eyes, and when he was less than five meters away from Ling Tong, he suddenly laughed, and then shouted and rushed towards Ling Tong with a sword in both hands! At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the appearance of his youth, and then he felt a chill in his heart, and the sound of broken bones sounded.

After Pang Xi's death, the Chu army was killed and retreated again! The general is dead! The soldiers began to retreat! Just as the Chu army was retreating, Ling Tong raised his arms and shouted, "Kill!! ”

The Eastern Wu army fought out and pursued the Chu army, but the Chu army was completely defeated, half of the soldiers fled, and half of the soldiers died in the battle.

After a day and night of fierce fighting, Pang Tong ordered the withdrawal of the army, this battle was only a test, the Chu army invested a total of 11,000 people, and in the end less than 500 survived, and the casualties were quite heavy.

Zhu Ran barracks, Zhu Ran sitting, Ling Tong changed some clean clothes and armor, and sat on the side with a tired face, Sun Jing looked at Zhu Ran and then looked at Ling Tong who looked tired and said: "Dudu, the casualties of our army in this battle have reached nine thousand, if it continues, I am afraid that the defense line will not be supported for long before it will be breached." What is the plan of the governor? ”

Zhu Ran said expressionlessly: "I have already written to the lord, and reinforcements will arrive in a month." ”

"But, Governor, Dongwu has no troops to send." Sun Jing said.

"Men over the age of twelve in Dongwu, all of them are in the army, and they must block the Chu army, if the south is broken, the building will fall." Zhu Ran said word by word.

Sun Jing was stunned for a moment and did not speak, yes, the population of the Chu army is far more populous in Jiangdong, and now there are only Yangzhou and Jiaozhou in Eastern Wu, and Jiaozhou is a poor and remote place, sparsely populated, and Chu occupies Jingzhou, Yizhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou, and Bingzhou, whether it is military strength or economic strength, are far above Eastern Wu, this time Chu attacked Wu, poured more than 400,000 troops, which almost poured more than sixty percent of the soldiers of the Chu army, and Eastern Wu poured all its troops to resist, and the number of people is also at a disadvantage, Now Sun Jing has understood that even if this war Dongwu blocks the Chu army, if all men over the age of twelve are soldiers, then it will be difficult for Dongwu to turn over in the future. Or when Sun Quan threw all his troops into the Jiangxia and Changsha wars, if Cao Cao sent troops south, Yangzhou would be just around the corner. (To be continued.) )
