Chapter 1077: Repeating the crossbows in unison

Poundon fled westward.

went straight to the evening, and made sure that Jiang Shiyu did not send troops to pursue, so he stopped and rested in the queue.

Although he was already mentally prepared for a big defeat, the actual liquidation of the loss of soldiers still made Pang Deng's face black.

The soldiers who followed him on the side of the mighty Qingjun came back at this time, and less than forty percent.

When they attacked the capital before, they also suffered a lot of battle losses, and the defenders of the capital suffered heavy losses, but their Xiliang army was also piling up their lives, otherwise how could the tall and strong city wall knock a big gap for them?

It's just that those are all in Pompon's calculations, and the inventory after each attack battle is also within a controllable range.

But today's battle before dawn is the reason why the number of battle losses is shocking at this moment.

Taking advantage of his attack on Yong'anmen, the Gu family in the north directly set fire to his camp, and many wounded soldiers did not escape at that time.

And they hastily withdrew their troops from under the city walls, and many of them did not have time to retreat, which became the battle exploits of the defenders.

After that, they ran westward, fell behind halfway, and got separated, resulting in the "less than forty percent" counted by Pang Deng now.

Poundon was so angry that he almost didn't stop.

He hates!

The Yong'an Gate has been broken, and once they rush into the city gate and break through the defensive line, victory is at hand.

Not to mention that there are only forty percent of the soldiers and horses left, and if he can live in the capital, he will not blink an eye if he only has twenty percent left.

After mastering the capital, reinforcements from the Northland Army have arrived, and he is not afraid!

The saint abandoned Beijing and fled south, this is a God-given opportunity.

Even if the saint took away all the men of the clan, he didn't believe that there were no fish that slipped through the net!

Even if he didn't, Pang Deng would make up a mess, wrap him in a dragon robe, and press him to sit on the dragon chair, he would be the regent who controlled the world.

The puppet is just a puppet, and if you are obedient, you will keep it, and if you are disobedient, you will change it in a few years.

It's just that in the end, it fell short.

Poundon lost to time.

It's a race of time.

Pang Deng suddenly raised troops and attacked the Beijing Division, he could only fight quickly, otherwise the follow-up supplies would not be able to keep up, not to mention, and he would face the forces of the imperial court to defend back.

He pressed all the elite soldiers of Xiliang, thinking that he could successfully break the city, but he didn't expect that the capital would be able to hold out for so long after losing the strength of the Imperial Forest Army and the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army.

Of course, Pang Deng knew that the Northland Army had entered the customs and headed south, but he didn't expect that Gu Yun's banquet would come so quickly.

Almost silently, it gave Xiliang Jun a blow to the head.

Hate to hate, Pang Deng also knows that he can't rest for too long, Jiang Shiyu is deep in the city, and he is not an easy person to deal with, and the fact that the pursuers have not arrived at the moment does not mean that there must be no pursuers.

They must quickly return to Guanwai, return to Xiliang, regain their strength, and face the blow of the imperial court.

The Xiliang army ran for four days, and this time the march was more non-stop than when they came.

In the evening of that day, they met three Xiliang soldiers.

Pang Deng looked at the familiar people and was shocked, these people were clearly left behind in Xiliang!

"What's wrong with Xiliang? How did you get here? Pomden asked urgently.

The three of them were so tired that they couldn't catch their breath, so they took a few breaths before saying: "The Northland Army attacked Xiliang by surprise, and all the seven guards of Xiliang were lost!" ”

A chill rushed to his mind from his heels, and Poundon was cold: "All lost? All lost?! ”

The adjutant general glared and said, "Are you sure it's the Northland Army?" The surnamed Gu didn't lead the troops to save the capital, how could he still ......"

"It's them!" Xiliang said, "There is a Gu character on the battle flag, and the cavalry formation is full of spears, which is their northerners!" ”

Pomden gritted his teeth and said to the lieutenant general: "They divide the troops!" They even have the audacity to divide their troops! ”

In order to conquer the capital, Pang Deng took almost all the Xiliang combat power, and there were not many who stayed outside the pass.

He did not fail to consider that the imperial court might rush straight outside the pass and cut off his back road, but the most important thing for the imperial court was to defend the Beijing division, and the south transferred troops to Xiliang, the road was far away, and when they arrived, the battle of the capital would have already had a result.

The only one who can fight with all his strength is the Northland Gu family.

But a few years ago, the Di people traveled all over the northern border, and the Northland Army suffered heavy losses, even if Ansu Khan was frightened in the end, but the Gu family's vitality was injured.

Subsequently, the Beidi Army was ordered to support Shudi, and the successive battles made them not have enough time to train and raise troops.

In Pang Deng's opinion, even if the Gu family went south to rescue, they would not have the strength to divide their troops to fight.

But on the contrary, the Gu family is dividing the troops.

burned his camp on the outskirts of Beijing all the way, forcing him to break the city gate and have to retreat; On the other hand, he attacked Xiliang and occupied the seven guards, and drew his salary from the bottom of the kettle, so that he had no way to retreat!

If it weren't for the soldiers who escaped to deliver the message, he took the less than forty percent of the soldiers back to the pass, and when he looked up, he saw the Gu family flag planted on the city wall, and he could spit out a mouthful of blood!

The news that Xiliang was uplifted by Gu Jiajun spread among the army, making morale more and more depressed.

If they can't go back home, what about their relatives and friends?

Pang Deng had a gloomy face, and immediately decided: "Half a day ahead is the security city, let's enter the city!" ”

The adjutant general was shocked and asked Pang Deng in a suppressed voice: "General, are we not going back to Xiliang?" These people we brought back can't beat the capital, can't they take back Xiliang? ”

"Morale is slumping, how to fight?" Pomden took a deep breath, "The dry food we brought is not enough for us to enter the customs!" ”

Originally, it was starving for two days, and no one could die for a while and a half, and after entering the customs, it was their own territory, and the supplies could immediately keep up, but now, the pass was occupied by the Gu family, did they want to fight hungry?

"Occupy the security city," Pang Deng said sharply, "make up the supply, and then go back to Xiliang!" ”

The adjutant general said: "If the pursuers arrive? ”

"Then fight them in the security city!" Pang Deng said, "I want to see if his Gu family dares to turn Baoan City into a dead city!" ”

Pomden had made up his mind, and urged his soldiers to mount their horses and go straight to the city, making sure to enter the city in the middle of the night.

In these Central Plains towns, the defenders are basically equal to nothing, and it is late at night, and the defense is lax, as long as they climb the city wall with a zipline and open the city gate, the army can enter the city.

The Xiliang army ran all the way to the outskirts of the city, approaching in the thick of the night, and was about to raid, when suddenly, torches lit on the dark city wall a moment ago.

In the light of the fire, the night was dispelled, and they were greeted by soldiers with crossbows on the walls.

Among the soldiers was a man in silver armor and a spear in his hand.

Pang Deng was now suffering from heart and lung colic when he saw the spear, and he stared wide-eyed, the other party was not the Gu family, but for him, it was more terrible than the Gu family.

That's Jiang Muyuan!

Before he saw the Gu family banner planted by Xiliang, he suddenly fell into Jiang Muyuan's trap, Pang Deng couldn't hold back, the smell of blood welled up in his throat, and he pointed to the people on the city wall: "You, you, you ......"

Jiang Muyuan didn't talk nonsense with Pang Deng, raised his hand and waved, and in an instant, the crossbows fired in unison, shooting straight at the Xiliang soldiers on the horse.
