Soldiers come to the world

In Wucheng County, Pang Xi, who was wearing a suit of armor, was standing on the top of the city, full of unspeakable bitterness in his heart. In just one month, his army dropped from 1 to less than 3000. He hadn't suffered a fiasco in more than ten years.

In the wilderness at the foot of the mountain in the distance, there are countless tents. Yan Yan personally led the [-] troops who came to attack Wucheng.

Pang Xi has already realized the reason for his failure, that is, he refused to give up Badong County, and divided the troops that were not dominant in the first place into two, but Yan Yan defeated them one by one. Although he knew it in his heart, how could he be willing? What about giving up operating Padang County for many years?

After all, he shouldn't accept Jianping County. Although he knows that Liu Jing is using Dongzhou soldiers, he is not using Jingzhou to expand his power. It's just that his army doesn't have such a big appetite at all. Why should he do so? greedy?

Pang Xi sighed lowly, turned around and walked down the city, at this moment, the sound of rumbling war drums suddenly sounded outside the city, 'Boom!Boom!Boom! The shouts of killing shook the sky, and Pang Xi hurried back to the city wall, only to see an army of thousands of people swarming towards Wucheng in a dark manner, with banners unfurled, and the momentum was spectacular.

Pang Xi hurriedly turned his head and shouted: "Ring the alarm bell, the whole army goes to the city to defend!"

The alarm bell in Wucheng rang, and the rapid bells echoed in the city. Groups of heavily armed soldiers rushed to the top of the city in a murderous manner. In just a moment, [-] soldiers took their positions, bows and crossbows, ready for battle.

At this time, thousands of enemy troops had already reached the bottom of the city, and they lined up densely two hundred steps away from the city wall, with bright helmets and bright armor, like a forest of knives and spears, and a big flag fluttering in the middle, on which was written a big fight. "Yan" character, under the banner, a 60-year-old veteran with a machete in his hand is riding on a steed horse, with a white beard fluttering on his chest, majestic, it is the veteran Yan Yan.

He urged his horse forward and pointed to the top of the city and shouted: "The traitor Pang Xi, hurry out of the city and die!"

Yan Yan's voice was loud, high-pitched like a bell, and the soldiers at the top of the city could hear it clearly. Pang Xi was so angry that his face turned blue, and he shouted: "Fire me an arrow!"

Immediately, arrows rained down from the top of the city, shooting straight at Yan Yan. Yan Yan was known as the Bashu South Sword, and his martial arts in Bashu was second only to Zhang Ren of the North Spear. Soon out of the crossbow range.

He shouted again: "Pang Xi, you eggless bastard, I am not afraid of death at the age of 60, do you dare to fight to the death with this old man!"

Pang Xi on the wall ignored him, but Yan Yan turned around and shouted, "Bring it up!"

Dozens of soldiers came forward carrying puppets. These puppets were about one person tall. They looked like men, but they wore women's dresses. There was a big sign on their heads with the word 'Pang Xi' written on them. Yan Yan's soldiers laughed.

Hundreds of people built a wooden platform in front of the city wall. More than a dozen witches and witches performed witchcraft on the stage. One of them was dressed as Yan Yan and stood on the stage with a big knife in his hand. Another middle-aged man was dressed in a woman's dress. , knelt down and kowtowed in front of Yan Yan, begging for mercy, full of ugliness, and the big banner on the stage read 'Pang Xi begging for mercy'.

Amidst the sound of gongs and drums, the witch show was staged wonderfully. For a while, a monkey dressed up as Pang Xi performed a monkey show, and for a while, Pang Xi was nude sumo wrestling, which attracted the soldiers to laugh and curse.

Pang Xi was trembling with anger. He knew that this was Yan Yan's aggressive plan, but this kind of shame and humiliation still made him yell, "Follow me out of the city and kill these thieves!"

Deng Zhi next to him was so frightened that he hurried forward to stop him, "Don't be fooled, we will be defeated if we go out of the city!"

Pang Xi stomped his feet fiercely, turned around and walked down the city, Deng Zhi hurriedly chased after him, "Master, this is their method of provoking generals!"

Yan Yan performed under the city for a day, doing all the humiliating things. Pang Xi was so angry that his eyes burst into flames. He wanted to go out of the city for a decisive battle several times, but was persuaded by Deng Zhi. Down the mountain barracks.

In the night, veteran Huang Zhong led a [-]-strong army along the Shu Road to march towards Wucheng. The [-]-strong army stretched for more than ten miles on the mountain road like a long snake. Because of Pang Xi's defeat at the front, Xinling County and Zigui There was no garrison in the county, and all of them were transferred to Wucheng County. Huang Zhong's army passed through the border smoothly, walking quickly all the way, and arrived in Wucheng five miles ahead.

At this moment, Lieutenant Liao Huacui immediately bowed forward and said, "Old General, let me take a step ahead and give Pang Xi an order to open the city to welcome the army!"

Huang Zhong shook his head, "Pang Xi is a veteran of Bashu. He has a high status and is proud by nature. If you go and ask him to go out of the city to greet him, he will be dissatisfied and trouble may arise. Why don't I go to see him directly and give him face? .”[

Joining the army next to him, Jiang Wan smiled and said, "The old general is really well versed in the world!"

Liao Hua bowed and said, "I understand."

Huang Zhong immediately ordered: "The whole army speeds up!"

The team speeded up, and after a while, the vanguard arrived at Wucheng. Huang Zhong watched the precipitous city, and ordered the soldiers: "Go and call the door!"

The soldiers ran to the bottom of the city and shouted loudly: "Listen, the city, General Huang and the Jingzhou army have arrived, open the gate quickly!"

The defenders at the top of the city had already discovered the arrival of a large army, and rushed to report to Pang Xi. Pang Xi hurried to the top of the east city, and looked down the city with his head. The tens of thousands of troops made Pang Xi secretly startled.

However, the arrival of the Jingzhou army made him heave a long sigh of relief. At this moment, he saw more than a dozen generals on horseback approaching, and asked loudly, "I am Pang Xi, who is the general under the city?"

There was a burst of loud laughter from the city, "Mr. Pang, I am Huang Hansheng!"

Pang Xi has dealt with Jingzhou for many years, so of course he knew Huang Zhong. He knew that Huang Zhong was the veteran of Jingzhou's military back then, and now he is the highest-ranking general in Jingzhou. He didn't dare to neglect, and quickly ordered: "Kaicheng!"

The gate of Wucheng opened slowly, and Pang Xi came out in person, followed by Deng Zhi and other important subordinates. Huang Zhong dismounted from his horse, stepped forward and said with a smile, "I heard that Pang Gonggong and Yan Yan's army were fighting. , come here to help!"

Pang Xi was overjoyed, stepped forward to salute, and asked quickly: "Excuse me, old general, is Liu Zhou Mu here?"

Huang Zhong pointed to the river in the distance and said with a smile: "The day after tomorrow at the latest, Duke Pang will be able to see Jingzhou's main force on the river."

Pang Xi sighed softly, "This day has finally come!"

At this time, Deng Zhi stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Yan Yan will definitely come to challenge tomorrow, so we might as well use our strategy."

Pang Xi suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly said to Huang Zhong: "Old Yan Yan comes to challenge the city every day. I suffer from insufficient troops and can't fight. With the old general here, we can kill him tomorrow by surprise!"

Huang Zhong laughed, "I have heard for a long time that Yan Yanbao's sword is not old, so I would like to see whose sword is more sophisticated?"

In the morning of the next day, the drum beat again, and Yan Yan led more than [-] people to the front of the pass, shouting and cursing. A veteran, with a majestic figure and fluttering white beard, holds a gold-backed tiger-tooth knife in his hand, riding on a handsome white horse, like a tiger and leopard out of the city.

Of course Yan Yan knew Huang Zhong, and he was taken aback. Huang Zhong actually appeared in Wucheng, which meant that the Jingzhou army had come to kill him. He retreated his head, only to hear Huang Zhong yelling: "General Yan, do you dare to fight this old man?"

Yan Yan knew that Huang Zhong was the number one general in Jingzhou in the past, and now that Zhao Yun was added, he was listed as the second among the five tiger generals in Jingzhou. Perhaps it was because they were both veterans. "Wish to fight the old general!"

He hurriedly urged the horse, and the horse galloped like thunder, and rushed straight towards Huang Zhong. A cold light flashed, and the machete slashed straight at Huang Zhong's chest with fierce momentum. Listen 'Dang! There was a loud noise, like a thunderclap on the ground, two big knives slashed at one place, the flames splashed, and two powerful forces counterattacked the two at the same time.

The horse rattled back, Huang Zhong only felt that his arms were numb, the strong saber aura almost made him breathless, he secretly praised in his heart, it is worthy of the name of Bashu Nan Dao, it really deserves its reputation.

But Yan Yan was in utter misery, he almost lost all feeling in his arms, the knife in his hand almost fell out, his blood was surging, his chest was extremely uncomfortable, he suddenly turned around and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Huang Zhong didn't spare him, and shouted, "Kill me again!"

The horse rushed up, raised the knife and slashed, Yan Yan had no choice but to fight hard, and the two fought fiercely together. At this time, a large number of troops in the city began to pour out. Wearing the iron pocket of the Jingzhou Army, under the leadership of Lieutenant General Liao Hua, he was full of murderous intent, and he only waited for an order to kill the enemy.

Yan Yan and Huang Zhong have fought fiercely for [-] rounds. Although Yan Yan's swordsmanship is exquisite, his strength is obviously inferior to Huang Zhong's, and he gradually began to lose his resistance.

He found an opening and slashed at Huang Zhong's face. Huang Zhong swung the knife to meet him. Yan Yan seized this momentary opportunity, pulled his horse and fled, and at the same time shouted to the soldiers: "Retreat immediately!"

Huang Zhong retracted his saber, drew his bow and set an arrow, aiming at the back of Yan Yan's neck, Yan Yan had no defense, the arrow must have pierced his neck, but Huang Zhong hesitated, but relaxed the bowstring, for some reason, he felt something in his heart. Feeling a sense of sympathy for each other, he gave up the arrow.

Seeing that the enemy was fleeing, Huang Zhong shouted, "The whole army pursues and kills them!"

"Kill!"

The Jingzhou army shouted like thunder, and rushed to the Yizhou army camp at the foot of the mountain. Yan Yan had ambushed [-] enemy troops at the foot of the mountain, planning to ambush Pang Xi, but the Jingzhou army came, making his ambush ineffective. The Yizhou army could not withstand the impact of the Jingzhou army and fled in a big defeat. Huang Zhong led the army to chase and kill them all the way, killing and surrendering countless.

In this battle, Yan Yan's 3000 troops were defeated, more than [-] were killed, [-] were captured, and only more than [-] people followed Yan Yan and fled back to Padang County in embarrassment.

Huang Zhong immediately withdrew his troops. He was not in a hurry to attack, but let the army rest in Wucheng for two days. The soldiers were very tired from the rapid march all the way. He knew that the physical strength and morale of the soldiers were the key to the war. Huang Zhong ordered the whole army to set off and march towards Padong County.
