Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 80: The person who killed Pang De and insulted Guan’s elder brother died (325)

"Who dares to make false promises of surrender again!"

Pang De shouted, glaring around him angrily, and finally cast his eyes on Dong Heng.

Dong Heng was shocked to see Dong Chao stabbed to death. He was so horrified that he retreated repeatedly.

When the military schools saw this, no one dared to surrender.

From the breakout of the third watch to the fourth watch, the battle continued until the early morning of the fifth watch. Due to Pound's desperate battle, the troops could not defeat Pound for a while.

"Pang De is so brave, what a powerful enemy!"

Zhuge Qiao saw that his own soldiers had suffered many casualties and that the sky was getting brighter, so he ordered his troops to retreat, moved antlers to block the road, and changed their bows and arrows to attack the enemy.

It is easy to accidentally injure someone with a bow and arrow in the dark night, but now that the sky is getting brighter, this bow and arrow can be effective.

Seeing Guan Yu's army changing their bows and arrows, Pang De, Dong Heng and others' expressions changed drastically.

At this point in the battle, all the soldiers are almost exhausted. How can they still have the energy to dodge and block the arrows?

Seeing the bows and arrows taking aim, all the soldiers gathered in a group, with expressions ranging from fear to aggrieved.

In hand-to-hand combat, one can still fight tooth and nail, but now, it has become a one-sided killing.

"Pang De, Fancheng has been captured by Guan. Cao Ren abandoned the city and fled. It's still too late for you to surrender now!"

"Looking at your brother and his old master, Guan will send you to Xichuan and ask the King of Hanzhong to make a decision. He will never embarrass you."

Guan Yu shouted to persuade him to surrender.

Fancheng will definitely not be captured tonight, but this does not prevent Guan Yu from using deception against Pang De and the five hundred remaining soldiers.

After hearing that Fancheng was lost, Cao Ren abandoned the city and fled. The soldiers around Pang De felt even more desperate, and their determination to fight to the death weakened.

Pang De was furious when he heard this: "Guan Yu Zhuzi, don't insult me!"

"The king of Wei has millions of soldiers, who are powerful and invincible throughout the world."

"Who does Liu Bei deserve to call himself the King of Hanzhong?"

"How can a mediocre person be a match for King Wei?"

"I, Pang Den, would rather be a ghost of the country than a general of thieves!"

Guan Yu respected Liu Bei the most.

Pang De scolded Guan Yu, but Guan Yu could still bear it in order to recruit the five hundred soldiers.

But Pang De scolded Liu Bei, and Guan Yu couldn't bear it.

Just when Guan Yu was about to speak, Zhuge Qiao stopped him and said, "It is not your job to persuade a prince to surrender. Let my nephew do it."

Pang De couldn't help but feel a little more wary when he saw that the young general from the daytime was coming out again.

Zhuge Qiao saluted Pang De: "General Pang, you fought to the death for Cao Cao in the middle of the night, which shows your loyalty."

"The reason why you are trapped here is not because of war, but because Cao Ren did not know the number of soldiers, so he was defeated."

"You surrendered not for yourself, but for these five hundred soldiers, which fully shows your righteousness."

"You have loyalty and righteousness, why are you hesitating?"

"Do you want these five hundred soldiers to die for you? They also have parents."

"If they die, who will support their parents?"

Zhuge Qiao's voice is very contagious, especially to the middle and lower class soldiers, and Zhuge Qiao's words speak directly to people's hearts.

Seeing the turmoil in the army, Pound hurriedly shouted: "Don't listen to this nonsense! The King of Wei has already issued a strict order. If anyone dies in the battle, your wife and children will be raised by the King of Wei. If there is someone who surrenders, your wife and children will be raised by the King of Wei." Slave.”

Before Pang De's soldiers could react, Zhuge Qiao laughed loudly after hearing this: "Pang De, don't you feel ashamed to say this?"

"I have been studying for many years, but I have never heard of any military tactics that threaten soldiers and their families."

"As the king of Wei, he did not treat his soldiers well, but instead intimidated them. What's the difference between Cao Cao and those local tyrants who bully others?"

"Is it true that Cao Cao was born superior to others, while his soldiers were born to be slaves?"

"Pang De, the king respects your loyalty and allows you to surrender; but you don't know what to do and want to drag soldiers to be buried with you for your loyalty."

"If you want to be loyal to the end, you can kill yourself on the spot. I can still respect you as a man."

"But if you insist on dragging these five hundred soldiers to be buried with you, then you, Pang De, are nothing more than a common thief who doesn't care about the soldiers." "What kind of reason do you have to let these five hundred soldiers die for you?"

"Last year, Hou Yin, the garrison of Wancheng, was forced to revolt with Wei Kai and the local officials because of excessive corvee duties, but he was suppressed and killed by Cao Ren."

"Will such a King of Wei really take care of the wives and children of soldiers like you?"

"I have always heard that Cao Cao likes to have married women. If your soldiers die, Cao Cao may not be able to raise your wives and children, but he will definitely marry them to the living soldiers."

"The soldiers died for Cao Cao, but their wives and children were slaves of others."

"Is such a King of Wei worthy of your soldiers' death?"

Cao Cao likes to be married to a married woman. Once he said this, the Wei King's military order that Pang De brought out was no longer effective.

If he surrenders, his wife and children will be slaves; if he doesn't surrender, his wife and children will remain slaves.

How to choose this?
  Pang De also didn't expect Zhuge Qiao to speak so harshly, and couldn't help but said angrily: "What kind of childish boy dared to slander the King of Wei! Cheng He, you lead the troops to break through, I will cut off the rear!"

If you continue to use your words, your military morale will be gone.

Cheng He also sensed something was wrong and took the lead in shouting: "Soldiers, follow me and charge!"

"Huh!" Seeing Cheng He waving his arms and shouting, Guan Yu coldly snorted and drew his bow.

The arrows were like meteors. Cheng He was caught off guard and was shot in the neck by Guan Yu.

When it comes to archery, Guan Yu is also not bad!

Whether they are cavalry or sailors, the first thing they practice is not hand-to-hand combat, but archery.

After many years of military service and many years of training as a sailor in Jingzhou, Guan Yu's archery skills cannot be said to be superb, but they are among the best in the world.

In terms of arm strength alone, it is not comparable to that of ordinary archers!
  Cheng He was shot dead with an arrow, and Pang De's face turned livid again.

Pang De finally figured out why the arrow during the day failed to hit Guan Yu. A good shooter must be good at avoiding arrows.

Le Jin, who was good at shooting, was waiting for work, but he only shot Guan Yu in the arm.

However, it was too late to regret now. Once Cheng He died, the military morale became even more chaotic.

Dong Heng saw the opportunity and shouted: "We are willing to surrender!"

Pang De was furious and struck Dong Heng with his sword: "Dong Heng, do you dare to surrender?"

Dong Heng avoided Pang De's long head and stared at Pang De fiercely: "Pang De, when the king of Wei defeated Hanzhong, you also surrendered with the crowd."

"You are only allowed to surrender when you are in a state of poverty, but you are not allowed to surrender when I am in a state of poverty?"

"When you fell into despair, did you feel ashamed?"

The most important thing for a surrendered general is to have someone doubt his loyalty. Pang De refused to surrender because he did not want to be thought of as a capricious villain.

At this time, Pang De, who was poked in a painful spot by Dong Heng, was so angry that his face was twisted.

"How dare you insult me!" Pang De drew his bow and shot an arrow at Dong Heng. Dong Heng was so frightened that he ran away.

When Pang De's soldiers saw Cheng He dead and Dong Heng running away, they could no longer hold back the fear in their hearts.

Especially Dong Heng's words, "You are only allowed to surrender when the situation is poor, but I am not allowed to surrender when the situation is overwhelming?" It crushed the soldiers' remaining fighting spirit.

The commander-in-chief had already surrendered in despair, so why should he criticize me and the other soldiers so harshly?

Upon seeing this, Pang De shot and killed three escaping pawns one after another. However, this move not only failed to stabilize the morale of the army, but also caused its morale to collapse.

In less than a moment, only a dozen of the five hundred soldiers were still with Pang De.

These dozen or so people were all Xiliang warriors who had been with Pound for many years. They were Pound's personal soldiers on weekdays, so naturally they refused to surrender.

Seeing Pang De's stubborn resistance, Guan Yu was angry that Pang De had humiliated Liu Bei just now, so he ordered the archers to release arrows.

Although Pang De and other remnant soldiers tried their best to resist, how could they block the arrows from all directions?
  The bow fell.

Everyone, including Pound, was shot to death!

Guan Yu rode forward and cut off Pang De's head with his own hands.

"Anyone who insults a certain brother will die!"
