Chapter 244 Something big happened

She passed through the clouds like a cloud of fire, burning all the ants that hindered her progress.

The silver gun is not only the strength of the overlord gun, but also the ingenuity of the gunage taught by Liu Feng. The dance is about to open, and the rainbow is heavy and powerful.

All the way, the limbs splashed with blood, and no one could stop it.

Behind her, dozens of heavily armed female soldiers waved their swords in their hands and screamed at the rebel enemies.

Sun Shangxiang led this women's army and rampaged all the way to kill the traitors on East Street and flee.

At the same time as Sun Shangxiang started to kill, a well-equipped and fully armed infantry cavalry army of about a thousand people started from the barracks near the former general's mansion and marched into various places of rebellion.

Before Liu Feng left Xiangyang, he had a hunch that the relatives of Cao in Xiangyang were likely to take advantage of his absence to cooperate with Cao's army. Therefore, although he was not there, he left half of his guard troops to Pang Tong.

This pro-military force has followed his original direct line since Xiakou. Every soldier is a long-tested and absolutely loyal elite man. His combat effectiveness is no less than that of Cao's tiger and leopard horse.

In Xiangyang City, there are nearly a thousand traitors of the Cai clan, plus other major rebels who were encouraged to participate in it, the total number of rebels is thousands.

It's just that although there are many traitors, they are just a bunch of servants. How can they be the opponents of this elite army of the guard with one against ten?

At the beginning of the war to suppress the rebellion, the rebels of a city were completely frustrated, and every time they resisted, they were defeated.

The elite guard, coupled with Gong Yaoji, a "tough general", the officers and soldiers soon had the upper hand. The battle began in the afternoon and ended in the evening.

Thousands of traitors were killed and injured, and the remaining less than a few hundred returned to the Cai family's mansion in the west of the city, relying on the high-gate wall of Cai's mansion in an attempt to resist the encirclement of the army.

At night, more than a thousand elite officers and troops, together with more than a thousand regular troops temporarily transferred from Fancheng, surrounded the big Cai Mansion.

With the current absolute advantage, if the officers and soldiers want to break through the Cai government, it is not difficult to completely eliminate the Cai party, but Pang Tong only ordered the siege but not the attack.

At least the Cai family is from the Xiangyang family. Although the Cai family is close to Cao, it has something to do with the Pang family, which is also the Jingxiang family. In this matter, Pang Tong doesn't want to do too much.

He wants to leave a way for the Cai family.

At this time, Pang Tong was stationed outside Cai's house and was sending someone to shout to Cai's house, asking them to open the door and disarm and surrender. As long as they were willing to surrender, they would be left with a way to live.

There was no movement in Cai Fuzhong, but he did not use bows and arrows to fight back against the officers and soldiers. It seemed that he was weighing whether to surrender or not.

The two sides are separated by a high wall and fall into a subtle stalemate.

At the time of the confrontation, Sun Shangxiang, who was bathed in blood, arrived with a group of female soldiers.

The blood-stained silver gun pointed to Cai's mansion. Sun Shangxiang asked coldly, "Master Pang, why didn't you order the attack?"

"This..."

Pang Tong coughed dryly and said with a smile, "Cai's surname is Xiangyang. If you kill them all, it is not conducive to stabilizing the hearts of Xiangyang. I mean, if you don't give them a chance to surrender.

Sun Shangxiang's eyes suddenly condensed and said angrily, "You are really pedantic. How can you show mercy to this kind of traitor? You order me to attack immediately. I'm going to kill the chicken and dog surnamed Cai."

Chickens and dogs don't stay?

Hearing these four cold words, Pang Tong couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.

When he wanted to persuade again, Sun Shangxiang became more and more angry and shouted, "In the face of the great enemy, how can the woman benevolent and cut the grass without rooting the root? If there is another disaster, can you bear this responsibility?"

Pang Tong's heart suddenly shook.

Although his wisdom dominates the world, a trick can determine the life and death of thousands of people, but in the final analysis, he is still a literati.

He is good at making suggestions and letting Liu Feng kill people, but now when he wants to decide whether to kill or not, he will inevitably commit the hesitation of the literati.

Although Sun Shangxiang is a girl, she continued the fierce killing of the Sun clan.

In those years, his father Sun Jian, in the name of asking for Dong, first killed his boss Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, and then killed his colleague Zhang Zi, the governor of Nanyang. The reason was that the two people were contemptuous of themselves.

As for his brother Sun Ce, in the battle against Jiangdong, he started to kill the Jiangdong clan, but all opponents, no matter how famous you are, you can still kill them.

Sun Shangxiang has the style of his father and brother. At this moment, he is far more ruthless and decisive than Pang Tong.

Pang Tong in the shock remembered what Liu Feng once said:

Treat the enemy as harsh as winter; treat your friends as warm as spring.

At this moment, Pang Tong fell into silence.

Silence means acquiescence, but he does not want to order the killing in person, so as not to affect his image as a leader among the Jingxiang scholars.

Seeing that Pang Tong was silent, Sun Shangxiang no longer looked at him. He strangled in front of the horse and said harshly, "Come on, surround the Cai Mansion with firewood and grass, and burn all these rebels to death."

The murderous order, the troops looked at each other in front of each other and couldn't help looking at Pang Tong.

Seeing that everyone was hesitating, Hua Rong was furious and scolded, "I am the wife of the former general. Now I am the power of the former general. If you don't obey my orders, it is equivalent to not listening to the orders of the former general. Those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law!"

With such a reprimand, how dare the troops dare to show off and follow their orders in a hurry.

Before long, piles of firewood were piled up around Cai's house. With Sun Shangxiang's order, countless torches were thrown at the dry firewood. In a blink of an eye, Cai's house fell into a blazing circle of fire.

Sun Shangxiang thought it was not enough, so he made the crossbowmen exchange rockets and shoot into Caifu from the outside.

There was a fire outside and a lot of fire and rain inside. In a short time, the whole Cai Mansion turned into a sea of fire in the wailing one after another.

Under the fire, the will of the rebels of Caifu disintegrated in a moment, and they either opened the door and ran out or climbed over the wall to escape.

It's just that they have missed the chance to live.

Sun Shangxiang did not intend to leave them a little way to live, and ordered the crossbowman to shoot all the escaped traitors.

The blazing fire rose into the sky.

The sound of wailing is terrible.

That night, many people who were hidden in the dark and were ready to rebel were shocked by the tragic scene of Caifu.

................................... Thousands of miles away, Hanzhong.

Twenty thousand people rode and walked with difficulty on the gravel valley.

Of the two thousand people, only 15,000 people carried weapons, and the remaining 5,000 were unarmed soldiers, each carrying a bag of grain. Many of these people didn't even wear armor, just to reduce some weight and bear more food and fodder.

On the side of the mountain road is a deep valley, and the narrowest part of the valley road can only allow one person to pass through.

In the army of 20,000 people, there are about a thousand war horses, but no one dares to ride them.

The soldiers were afraid that the beast would be slightly frightened and fell directly into the abyss. Therefore, even the cavalry can only get off the horse and carefully lead the mount forward.

Although everyone was cautious, there was still a scream from near to far in the empty valley from time to time. It was some unlucky soldier who fell into the deep valley inadvertently.

In the first few days, every time I saw such a thrilling and terrible scene, most people would panic. But now, the soldiers seem to be used to it. When their comrades fall into the valley, they just sigh and sigh a few times.

Because they know that they don't have much time to sigh. Only by seizing the time and walking out of this hellish valley can they have hope to live.

Looking up from afar, the endless mountain road between the mountains seems to be an endless road, and there is no end at a glance.

Another scream interrupted Zhang Fei's thoughts. He subconsciously looked back and saw that in the empty valley behind him, a soldier was still struggling in the air and disappeared into the dark valley in the blink of an eye.

All that is left is a dull sound.

Zhang Fei couldn't help shivering in his heart, and an illusion suddenly appeared in his mind, imagining that he was the soldier. He fell into the deep valley like this, howling and struggling desperately and helplessly.

What a painful feeling it will be when you realize that there is only one short moment left in life.

Zhang Fei took a deep breath and didn't dare to think about it any more.

He wiped the sweat on his forehead and continued to move forward with difficulty.

Seven days later, Zhang Fei saw hope.

Standing on the road more than three feet wide, Zhang Fei looked at the endless flat field under the hillside, and his black-bearded face bursting with excitement.

After suffering nearly half a month of torture, now, he and the tired soldiers and horses have finally walked out of this valley road that is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

The Guanzhong Plain is close in front of you.

"Ziyue, let's wait here to separate." Zhang Feihao burst out with anger and said to the young general beside him with a smile.

The general of the white horse is Ma Chao's younger brother Ma Dai.

Ma Dai's face also surged, and he nodded and said, "General Yide, I wish you success."

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "You are the same. If this battle is successful, he said that in Chang'an City, I must drink 300 cups with you."

Ma Dai smiled happily and said, "Okay, let's make a deal."

The two of them swore and encouraged each other.

After leaving the valley, the two soldiers and horses parted ways. Ma Dai led 5,000 steps to the east, and Zhang Fei led 15,000 steps and looked west.

..............................South Exit of Xiegu, Cao Jun Camp.

Xia Houyuan is very unhappy.

Once upon a time, his cavalry crossed Guanlong, first beat Ma Chao to the wilderness and fled, and then Song Jian, the king of Hu, who had been in Liangzhou for 30 years, was destroyed.

Prime Minister Cao gave him eight words: Hu Bu Guan Right, invincible.

But now, his tens of thousands of troops are blocked in this narrow valley, like a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, wearing a baby's clothes, which can't be unfolded at all, and he feels uncomfortable all over his body.

Although Xia Houyuan had long known that he was merging all the way, such aggrieved situation still annoyed Xia Houyuan.

"If the order goes on, I will launch another strong attack tomorrow morning. I don't believe that I can't defeat Ma Chao." Xia Houyuan ordered angrily.

Before the words fell, the other department's Sima Guohuai hurried in, and his expression was full of panic.

"General Xiahou, something big has happened in Guanzhong."
