The clock is turned back three hours.

The morning sun rose as usual, and Wei Qi walked towards Pang Xuan with a steaming mutton soup: "General Pang, drink some mutton soup." ”

For more than a month, Pang Xuan fell asleep more than ten times a day, and his total sleep did not exceed two hours a day.

Not only that, Pang Xuan, who is over 90 years old, also needs to stay in a sub-zero environment all the time to withstand the invasion of severe cold.

In the siege battle that lasted for more than a month, the most devastated side of the Zhao and Wei coalition forces was not the city wall of Xiuyucheng, but Pang Xuan!

After taking the mutton soup, Pang Xuan did not drink it directly, but greedily held the pottery bowl with both hands, let the warm pottery bowl warm his stiff hands, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you." ”

Wei Qi said softly: "Recently, the rhythm of the Qin army's siege has become more and more fixed, and the last general already knows the law of the Qin army's siege. ”

"General Pang will sleep for a while, and the last general will help General Pang watch for a while."

Wei Qi was not confident in facing the generals of the Qin army.

But Wei Qi wrote down every order Pang Xuan had given in the past month or so on the bamboo slips.

In Wei Qi's opinion, it should be no problem for him to copy the answer and insist on a few hours to let Pang Xuan rest...... Right?

Pang Xuan shook his head: "The main force of the Qin army is attacking our Great Zhao Wu'an City, Chang'an Jun can choose to storm Xiuyu City and fight separately, or he can choose to reinforce the Qin Army's Northern Route Army, with a combined army of 200,000 to fight more and less." ”

"But Chang'anjun will definitely not choose to waste time in Xiuyu City!"

Xiao Xiao took a sip of sheep soup, and Pang Xuan said softly: "Chang An Jun's thinking is wild, he is not a person who is content to use a method of war for a long time. ”

"During this time, Chang'anjun repeated the same siege method day after day, which must be to paralyze our army."

"Ben will be very uneasy!"

Wei Qi glanced at the city wall covered with heavy ice clothes under his feet, and wanted to ask Pang Xuan, wasn't Ying Chengcheng waiting for the city defense of Xiuyu City to collapse on its own?

But before Wei Qi could speak, Zhao Huan had already galloped over on horseback, and said loudly: "General, all the Qin army's catapults outside the north and east city gates have turned outside the south and west city gates!" ”

Pang Xuan was vigilant: "Is there any sign of withdrawal of the Qin army outside the east and north city gates?" ”

Zhao Huan shook his head: "There is no movement." ”

Pang Xuan interrupted and said: "No change is the biggest change!" ”

In this battle of Xiuyu City, the main siege equipment of the Qin army was cloud ladders and trebuchets, and even the chariots were rarely used.

Now the stone-throwing ordnance outside the east and north city gates has been transferred, why are the soldiers and horses not transferred?

How can an army without trebuchets attack a city?

In Pang Xuan's view, there is only one answer, the Qin army that stayed outside the east and north city gates is a trick!

Pang Xuan ordered repeatedly: "Peng Chengjun, immediately organize the people in the city to load all the baggage onto the car." ”

"Wake up all the soldiers, bury the pot and cook the whole army, and prepare for the decisive battle!"

As soon as the order was given, forty clay pots were thrown at Xiuyu City.

The familiar smell of oil penetrated into everyone's noses, and Zhao Wei Lianjun skillfully opened the sandbox to take the sand and cover the oil.

But before they could cover up the oil, the fire was already coming, and another round of clay pots followed and fell on the wall.

Pang Xuan became more and more restless, and shouted: "Peng Chengjun, what are you still doing in a daze?" ”

"Hurry up and prepare!"

Wei Qi hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Only! ”

As rounds of oil and fire arrows were thrown into the battlefield, the frost cloak of Xiuyu City was peeled back layer by layer, and the hole in the city gate was already dripping.

"Don't be afraid of the flames, for the more you are afraid of death, the sooner you die! Sprinkle sand! ”

"Water! Wash this black oil out of the city with water, and let this flame burn the Qin army itself! ”

"Wait, why does it look like it's dark?"

A large shadow suddenly enveloped the head of Xiuyu City.

Zhao Wei's soldiers looked up and saw more than a hundred boulders flying towards Xiuyu City.

Everyone was shocked and their mouths widened.

Every stone is so heavy, so thick, so big!

At the same time, facing twenty boulders, the walls of Xiuyu City were already flowing and screaming.

Now that the boulders that hit at the same time have skyrocketed to more than 100 pieces, how can Xiuyu City resist?

It's going to break!!

Facing a pair of frightened eyes, the boulder made negative contact with Xiuyu City.

Xiuyu City trembled and twitched for it!

The strong tremor made Wei Qi almost fall.

Pang Xuan stretched out his powerful big hand, grabbed Wei Qi, and shouted angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze?" ”

"Hurry up and get ready for battle!"

Almost everyone was trembling at the boulder that was thrown.

But these boulders confirmed Pang Xuan's guess.

Ying Chengzhi put the trebuchet that had been hoarded for a long time into the battlefield, and he would inevitably have some appeals.

Today must be the time when Yingcheng intends to fight a decisive battle!

kicked Wei Qi off the city wall with one kick, and Pang Xuan broke off and shouted: "Order!" ”

"Open the west city gate, Zhao Huan's department will go out of the city to meet the enemy!"

"All the crossbowmen in the army are on the city wall, and the target is the trebuchet of the Qin army, and they do not hesitate to use crossbow arrows, and they are continuously excited!"

The west city gate was opened, and Zhao Huan personally led the soldiers and horses to rush out of the city gate.

But as soon as he ran out of the city gate, huge stones were thrown at Zhao Huan's department.

"Get out of the way! Spread out the formation! ”

"The place is too narrow to spread out!"

"The Qin army's crossbow arrows are coming, raise the shield!"

Each round of twenty boulders only needs to be smashed in the direction of the city gate hole, and they can always hit one or even several Zhao and Wei allied forces.

There were even 3,000 Qin crossbowmen who stepped forward and threw arrows in the direction of the city gate.

The narrow gates were originally intended to prevent a large influx of enemy troops.

But at this moment, this narrow city gate has become a death passage for the Zhao and Wei coalition forces!

Even if the Zhao-Wei coalition army that rushed out of the city gate, the first thing to face was not the Qin army.

Rather, it was oil and flames that flowed down the walls!

Zhao Huan's troops who went out of the city to fight were blocked, and the defenders on the city wall were constantly wailing.

Eventually, a section of the city wall was completely stripped of its ice coat, and the rammed earth wall could no longer withstand the continuous impact of the boulders, and fell towards the city.

"Boom !!"

The city wall collided violently with the ground, and all the Zhao and Wei coalition troops standing on and under the city wall turned into minced meat!

Pang Xuan shouted loudly: "Push the door knife car!" ”

"Plug the gap for Ben!"

"Send another 5,000 foot soldiers out of the city to threaten the trebuchets of the Qin army!"

Pang Xuan commanded with all his strength and mobilized the resources in Xiuyu City to the limit.

However, with the world's strongest foot soldier and a weapon with a difference of 1,500 years, the more Pang Xuan struggled, the more desperate he became.

The foot soldiers who left the city could not threaten the trebuchets of the Qin army.

The water spilled could not wash away the flames.

Xiuyu City was like a weak woman facing more than a hundred strong men, and the thin frost gauze on her body was torn apart by violence.

Even though she is proficient in all eighteen blades, the difference in physique and strength makes all her counterattacks turn into gangster excitement meow punches, which are useless except for cheering!

In Pang Xuan's unwilling gaze, more than half of the western city wall had collapsed.

Pang Xuan finally gave a difficult order: "The defenders go down the city wall!" ”

As soon as he ran down the city wall, Pang Xuan saw Wei Qi running back for the first time.

"General Pang!" Wei Qi looked at the half-collapsed city wall, and asked in a distracted manner: "Repair the fish city, can't you hold it?" ”

Pang Xuan nodded: "I can't keep it." ”

"The walls have fallen, and the line of defense has been lost."

"Instead of wasting the lives of the soldiers to defend this city, it is better to fight and retreat, and keep more soldiers who can fight."

Wei Qi sighed softly: "The last general understands." ”

Fighting the spirit, Wei Qi bowed his hand: "The herald has been killed from the East City Gate!" ”

Pang Xuan smiled: "Very good! ”

"Even if Xiuyu City falls, the general will also let Chang'an Jun bleed once!"

Turning around, Pang Xuan ordered in a deep voice: "Order!" Crossbowmen shoot out of the city, sparing arrows! ”

"Order! Chen Mao's department entered the private house and waited for the general's order! ”

"Order! Zhao Garlic's department lined up in a phalanx twenty zhang behind the city wall to meet the enemy! ”

The Zhao-Wei coalition forces quickly formed an ambush circle.

Pang Xuan quietly looked at the West City Gate, waiting for the Qin army to enter the city, and gave the Qin army a head-on blow at the most excited moment of the Qin army!

However, what caught his eye was not the Qin soldiers who rushed into the west city gate, but the endless stones!

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

The heavy stones no longer only fell on the city walls, but on the houses in the city and the Zhao-Wei coalition army!

"General, the house has collapsed, and our department will continue to ambush?"

"My leg was crushed by the beam, save me! Help me! ”

"The enemy flying stones are coming, scatter!"

Each round of flying stones will advance five feet.

With each passing breath, the threat of death grows closer.

This feeling of waiting for the death to pronounce is desperate!

The shadow of the Qin army has not yet appeared, and the morale of the Zhao and Wei coalition forces has almost collapsed!

Pang Xuan clenched the reins with his right hand: "Chang'anjun had long expected that Ben would be ambushed inside the West City Gate?" ”

Each stone bullet requires a craftsman to spend time to create, and it is not easy to come by.

In Pang Xuan's opinion, if it weren't for Ying Cheng's determination that Pang Xuan had definitely arranged an ambush behind the West City Gate, how could it be possible to spend so many stone bullets to smash into the city?

"Ben General, incompetent!" With a long sigh, Pang Xuan broke off and shouted: "The whole army listens to the order!" ”

"Kill from the East Gate."

"Target Liang City!"

In the case of the loss of the defensive line, the disadvantage of the troops, the collapse of morale, and the destruction of the ambush, Pang Xuan did not hesitate anymore, and rushed towards the east gate as soon as he pulled the reins.

But at this moment, the rumbling drums resounded across the battlefield.

"Wind!"

"Wind!"

"Gale!"

With a roar, Su Jiao took the lead in rushing into Xiuyu City.

Chang Beryllium shook in front of him for a while, but Su Jiao found that there were no enemy troops around him at all.

Looking to the east along the main road, Su Jiao shouted angrily: "Robes, the enemy wants to run!" ”

With the shouts, Qin Jun's anger value exploded directly.

Want to run?

If you run away, where will we take the glory and riches we are waiting for?

The front army of the Qin army burst out at the fastest speed and chased towards Pang Xuan's department, and roared in unison:

"The enemy is gone!"

Looking back at Qin Jun behind him, Wei Qi's eyes were a little dazed.

He fled, he chased, he couldn't fly.

What a familiar scene!

It turns out that generals like General Pang are not the opponents of the Qin army?

That would have been defeated by the Qin army didn't seem so unacceptable.

"Peng Chengjun?" Pang Xuan shouted in a deep voice: "Please Peng Chengjun send another herald, please ask the defenders of Daliang City to rescue our army!" ”

Wei Qi came back to his senses and hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Only! ”

After paying the lives of more than 20,000 soldiers and fleeing for a day and a night, Pang Xuan's department finally joined up with Ning Lingjun's department who came to help, and quickly retreated into Daliang City.

Crossing the gate of Daliang City, Pang Xuan saw a familiar figure standing inside the city gate, looking at him from afar.

Pang Xuan hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward to salute: "Foreign Minister Pang Xuan, meet King Wei!" ”

Wei Wangzeng looked at Pang Xuan with complicated eyes: "General Pang is really defeated again." ”
