Chapter 538: Pang Tong was defeated in the first battle

Meanwhile.

Xiahou Shang and Cao Xiu, leading 10,000 people, prepared countless rafts, were crossing the river and bypassing the rear of Pang Tong, when they heard the sound of explosives exploding echoing in the distance.

After a while, they could still see that the sky in the direction of Cao Ying was emitting layers of red light, which was the firelight, and the river valley here, without the shelter of the mountains and forests, they could still see the firelight.

"It's a fight."

Cao Xiu said: "All speed up and cross the river!" ”

The explosion and the fire are telling them what the Cao army and the Shu army are doing now, especially the firelight, which is the signal that they agreed to do it.

"Quick!"

Xiahou Shang also urged a little anxiously.

The river was very wide, and their rafts tossed for a long time to cross.

They also arranged for the soldiers to go to the opposite bank in advance, pulling two super long ropes to fix them on both banks, and the soldiers who crossed the river stood on the raft and followed these two ropes so that they would not be washed up by the current on the river.

The soldiers all landed, and Xiahou Shang ordered to set off and attack the rear of the Shu camp.

Pang Tong also arranged a lot of scouts outside the camp, and those scouts saw that there was also a Cao army attacking in the rear, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly ran back.

"Kill!"

Cao Xiu sped up to kill the past, and those scouts who ran back were killed one after another, and finally killed outside the Shu camp.

In the Shu army, all the main forces now are placed in front of the camp.

The guards here also didn't expect that the Cao army would attack in this direction, and the rear area was instantly chaotic, difficult to resist, and was killed by Xiahou Shang and their troops.

"Strategist, it's not good!"

There were a few scouts who escaped, and they hurriedly ran to the front to inform Pang Tong, and hurriedly said: "Cao Jun is attacking from behind!" ”

Under the command of Pang Tong, the Shu army resisted the impact of the Cao army, the two sides could not fight, no one broke through, and at this time, when the Cao army was also attacked in the rear, the balance was about to be broken.

Pang Tong was taken aback when he heard this, and finally understood what Cao Cao's intentions were.

But how did Cao Jun appear in the rear?

Pang Tong didn't have time to think too much, even if he had to think about it, he had to wait until the war was over, and said hurriedly: "Arrange 10,000 people to go back, and prepare for retreat, go quickly!" ”

His ideas are also decisive.

Since you can't win the battle, or even be attacked, there is no need to dwell on it, and decisively want to retreat, preserve your strength, and then do something else.

Pang Tong saw that Lu Bu was no longer fighting with Guan Zhang, and said: "Second general, our rear is under attack, please go to the rescue quickly." ”

Guan Yu listened, mentioned the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and led the troops to kill back, and as soon as he came to the rear, he saw Cao Xiu and Xiahou Shang, who led the troops to break in and kill them.

Of course, the two of them didn't dare to make a move with Guan Yu, watching Guan Yu kill him, they quickly separated, and then commanded the soldiers to entangle Guan Yu and then continue to kill other enemies.

Inside the Shu camp, the rear is getting more and more chaotic.

The advantage of the front defense is gradually lost when the soldiers know that the rear is attacked, and the front defense will soon be defeated.

"Retreat!"

Pang Tong decisively ordered.

The soldiers who were struggling to resist heard that they could finally retreat, and they all retreated, but as soon as they retreated, Cao's army took advantage of the situation to pursue, and the pursuit was still very tight.

"I'll cut it off!"

Zhang Fei lifted the Zhangba Snake Spear and rushed forward again.

When Lu Bu saw Zhang Fei coming, Fang Tian waved his halberd and stopped Zhang Fei after the break, hitting Zhang Fei on horseback, almost unable to sit on the horse.

Hearing that they could retreat, the Shu soldiers who were defending at the rear of the camp also quickly withdrew, Guan Yu led the troops and Pang Tong to meet, and then saw Zhang Fei fighting Lu Bu alone, and shouted: "Third brother! ”

When it was over, he rushed forward too.

A knife sneaked up on Lu Bu.

"Fight again!"

Lu Bu was full of fighting spirit, and he really wanted to fight with Guan Zhang and the others for another 300 rounds.

"Two generals, retreat quickly."

Pang Tong couldn't let them be entangled by Lu Bu, otherwise they would fall into Cao Cao's encirclement, and no one would be able to escape, shouting: "Bow your head!" ”

They listened to Pang Tong's voice, bowed their heads trustingly, and a row of arrows flew right over their heads, flying towards Lu Bu.

"Let's go!"

Guan Yu said.

Zhang Fei could only retreat and run out on horseback.

Lu Bu shot down the arrows and had to pursue them again, but Pang Tong ordered people to shoot arrows, and the rain of arrows broke through the air and covered Lu Bu.

Lu Bu had to shoot down the arrows from close quarters again, and at this time, Guan Zhang and the others had already led the broken soldiers to withdraw.

The Shu army led by Pang Tong is still very neat and not easy to mess up, even if it retreats now, it can still maintain discipline and leave in an orderly manner, some people are responsible for breaking the rear, some people are responsible for covering, and there are a large number of crossbowmen, pulling bows and shooting to the rear.

The arrows were like raindrops, overwhelming, shooting towards the pursuing Cao soldiers, and they were quickly shot down in a large area, suppressing the pursuit of the Cao army.

"In the back row, throw two explosives down, let's go!" Pang Tong commanded again.

Explosives are their sharp weapons, and they are also the best thing to use to stop the enemy from pursuing.

The soldiers in the last platoon were ordered to light an explosive and throw it down, and then there was a loud bang, and the flames flew everywhere, knocking down a group of pursuing Cao soldiers.

The rest of them didn't dare to chase anymore, and they didn't dare to chase too closely, they saw the retreating rear army of the Shu army, and dropped a lot of explosives, and the sound of explosions sounded again.

Xiahou Shang and Cao Xiu cut in from the side and wanted to stop them, but they were quickly repelled by Guan Zhang and the others.

"Go to attack Yong'an!"

Cao Cao took a deep look at the retreating Shu army and passed down this order.

Those soldiers who were going to chase and kill the Shu army turned around as soon as possible and fought in the direction of Yong'an, preparing to storm Yong'an, but the explosives were quickly thrown in, and the sound of explosions echoed in the city.

Pang Tong, who originally wanted to retreat into Yong'an, saw this, had to give up, led Guan Zhang and the others, and fled to the west.

It was almost dawn.

Pang Tong led the troops to run without a shadow, and Cao Cao successfully took Yong'an.

The battle seemed to be over, and the curtain was over.

"Lord!"

Xiahou Shang and Cao Xiu came back, and the latter said: "Let Pang Tong run, we can't beat Guan Zhang and the others in the rear." ”

Cao Cao climbed the city tower, shook his head and said: "It's okay, Pang Tong can run, count his fate, we take Yong'an, and then we can continue to go deeper, but I don't know what the situation is on Zhang Lu's side." ”

Chen Gong analyzed: "Zhang Lu's situation should be worse than ours, Pang Tong came to deal with us, Shu Ying can't see Xu Shu and Fa Zheng, as well as Zhang Song and others, they should have gone to Hanzhong, I'm worried that Zhang Lu won't be able to keep Hanzhong." ”

Xi Zhong said: "If Zhang Lu can't hold it, there will be fewer people to contain Liu Bei, it is indeed a trouble, we want to continue to gain an advantage, we have to fight steadily, Pang Tong is not an easy person to deal with, we can have the upper hand tonight, but not necessarily next." ”

Cao Cao agreed, and echoed: "The Shu army retreated just now, I look at their formation, there is not much chaos, when retreating, the soldiers can still cooperate with each other, Pang Tong is definitely a person who knows how to lead troops!" ”

Tonight had the upper hand, and Pang Tong was caught off guard, but it was really not easy next.
