Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 736 Captive Pan Mei
Su Chen commanded the army to distribute the attack, rhythmically and methodically, charged into the battle, and attacked Pan Mei's army.

He didn't rush forward, like in the romance novels, he took the lead in the charge, after all, it was romance.

As the commander in chief, you can't really rush out, but you have to sit in the rear and be responsible for commanding the overall situation.

When it comes to charging into battle, generals like tigers and fierce generals will lead their troops to charge and kill. However, they will not be alone in the front, and they can easily be shot into hedgehogs by arrows.

At this time, Su Chen was sitting in the rear, waving the command flag, and the generals and princes of Du Yu saw the position of the command flag, the sound of drums, the sound of gongs, and the sound of arrows, and launched an attack.

"Kill ah-"

"Catch Pan Mei alive!"

The [-] Shence Army, divided into five forces, charged non-stop, and rushed together with Pan Mei's Song Army.

Dangdang!
Weapons clashed, hand to hand.

At this time, the combat power of the Shence Army was highlighted, because the Wu swords they held were modified from the Qi family swords. When fighting short soldiers, they were stronger than the Song Army's red tasseled spears and hand swords in terms of sharpness and smoothness. .

The hand knife is the only short knife among the "eight colors of swords" in the Song Dynasty. It is called "hand knife" because it is used with one hand.

This kind of knife was widely equipped in the Song army. It was the standard saber of the Song Dynasty. It was used not only for combat, but also for execution. It was actively used on the battlefield and on the execution ground.

But this kind of hand knife is much inferior to Qi's knife, not sharp enough, and the material is not good enough. After fighting, the red tasseled spear or hand knife in Song Jun's hand was soon cut off by Shence Army's knife hand arms.

Originally, the soldiers had similar abilities, but the excellent weapons and equipment instantly affected their combat effectiveness.

Puff puff!
Soldiers of the Shence Army wielded long knives and beheaded many soldiers of the Song Army.

With this face-to-face encounter, the Song Army began to be defeated.

Although they were brave and good at fighting in the north, they felt extremely aggrieved at this time, because their weapons were not dominant, and they were ambushed.

Soon, under the leadership of Marquis Du Yu, several groups of soldiers dispersed the Song Army's large troops. After cutting, there were only a few hundred soldiers around Pan Mei.

"Protect Pan Shuai, break out from behind!"

The guards Du Yuhou and Du Tou led people to protect Pan Mei and were about to break through and escape.

But at this moment, Su Chen no longer waited, but personally led troops to kill him.

Now that the soldiers and horses from all walks of life have fallen into a melee, there is no need to command anymore. He freed up his hands and led the troops off the field himself.

"Chong!"

Su Chen drew out his long-handled saber, rode his horse and charged, leading thousands of elites, towards Pan Mei's position.

"Crack!"

The horse's hooves stomped on the rampage, directly entering Pan Mei's personal guards.

"Pan Mei, where are you going!"

Su Chen led the troops to charge, and the Shence army was very brave, tore through the defense in an instant, and soon came to Pan Mei.

This Pan Mei has reached middle age. Although he has some martial arts skills, his personal martial arts skills are not high.

Therefore, Su Chen ordered that if he could be captured alive, he would be captured alive, and if he could not be captured alive, then he would be killed.

At this time, Pan Mei and dozens of guards were trapped within Su Chen's siege.

"My life is over!" Seeing this, Pan Mei looked up to the sky and sighed, drew out her sword, and was about to kill herself.

However, a soldier from the Shence Army rushed over, threw Pan Mei down, and captured him alive.

This battle was fought from dusk to dawn the next day, and the battle ended. Within twenty miles, there were corpses everywhere.

The 3 Song Army buried more than [-] people here, and some were captured, and thousands of people fled.

Pan Mei was captured alive and brought to Su Chen.

"Are you Pan Mei, the famous Song Army general?"

When Su Chen was sent out of Jinling by Li Yu, Song Jun hadn't arrived at the city of Jinling, so Su Chen had never met Cao Bin and Pan Mei.

Pan Mei was tied up with a rope, and looked up at Su Chen, a young general whom he didn't recognize. He was very curious as to who the young general who defeated him today was. He was so flexible and ingenious in planning and arranging troops that even an old Jianghu fell for him.

"Who are you?" Pan Mei asked.

"My name is Su Chen, and my name is Yixuan. I don't know if General Pan has heard of it!"

Pan Mei was shocked: "What? You are Su Chen and Su Yixuan? That Jiangzuo Sulang?"

"It's me!" Su Chen nodded.

"Didn't something happen to you in Yangzhou?" Pan Mei asked doubtfully.

Su Chen smiled slightly, and said: "It is true that someone wanted to assassinate me, but I escaped. I took the opportunity to run away and avoid disaster."

Pan Mei pondered for a while, and seemed to have figured out what was going on here, and smiled coldly: "Everyone in the world has been deceived by you, as expected of Jiangzuo Sulang, who is unparalleled in wisdom and well-deserved of his reputation."

Su Chen said: "General Pan is a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty. Now he is in my hands. I can't bear to harm him. I haven't thought about how to deal with it for the time being, so I wronged you for the time being and put him under house arrest. If there is a chance, we can talk about the art of war, talk For major events in the world, when someone comes, take them down, and don’t make things difficult for them.”

"Decree!" All of them stepped forward and led people to take Pan Mei down and guard her.

Su Chen intends to subdue Pan Mei, but this is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time, he has no time to waste here, so he immediately withdraws his troops and reorganizes, and meets Lu Jiang and Tao Ze.

"General Lu, stay safe and sound!"

"Haha, General Su, we meet again." Lu Jiang was very happy. He was still sad for a long time when he learned that Su Chen was sent to the Northern Song Dynasty and was killed in Yangzhou.

I thought that we would have to go to the underworld to meet again, but I didn't expect Su Chen to appear again.

Su Chen said: "It's not too late, let's quickly lead our troops to Shezhou, seize the city, and then drive away the Song army!"

Lu Jiang said: "Okay, at present, the Song Army has only 5000 people stationed in Shezhou, and there is no food in the city. They are hidden by us. There are some inside and outside the Song Army City. They have not been fully settled, and they can be destroyed in one fell swoop!"

The two armies together, with a total of 6 people, marched towards Shezhou.

Duyuhou Bao Zhifei led 3000 people to take care of the battlefield, consign the wounded, and dispose of the dead.

The corpses on these battlefields need to be cremated together and buried in mass graves. Otherwise, it will easily cause plague and have a bad impact on the health of the local people. Therefore, after the battle, the victor will simply dispose of the dead bodies.

After Su Chen and Lu Jiang's army arrived at the city of Shezhou, General Li Hanqiong of the Song Army led his troops to retreat after hearing the news, not daring to defend to the death.

Because his soldiers and horses are only a few thousand people, Shezhou City has just been acquired, and the environment in the city is not familiar. If there are many secret spies and rebels hiding, the army and the people mutiny, and attack the city gate together, the inside should be combined with the outside, and the city will be easily broken soon.

Li Hanqiong didn't dare to stay, and rushed to the north of Jinling City with thousands of remnants.

In this way, Su Chen and Lu Jiang's army took back Shezhou City without any effort.

With this big victory over the Song Army, Su Chen's prestige increased again. In the Shezhou area, he obtained a lot of Song Army's supplies, and began to organize and organize them, which became the food and grass for his own army.

Lu Jiang and Tao Ze also expressed their willingness to join Wu and become Wu's subjects and generals.

Su Chen smiled and said: "Okay, I will accept the two and the officers and men under my command on behalf of the imperial court. Soon after, the imperial court will have an appointment order, which is justified."

Lu Jiang said happily: "That's great! Now that the Southern Tang Dynasty has perished, there are still more than a dozen states that have not been conquered by the Song army. It just so happens that we can write letters to the guards, governors, prefects, etc. of each city to join the Wu State and expel them." Song Jun, in this way, the power of the Wu Kingdom will increase greatly, and it will be able to compete with the Song Dynasty in Jiangbei."
