Chapter 623 Cheng Gongying's defeat Zhang Wenyuan
"It is rumored that this article is far from the essence of Wang Lv Fengxian's martial arts. Seeing it today, this is true. This momentum of Wenyuan has 70% or 80% of the generals of that year!"
Pound shook his spirit. Suddenly, Fang Tian's painting halberd stabbed like electricity. Pang hurriedly raised the knife to block it. The knife was just blocked, as if his soul had been hit, and he saw a blood armor god roaring at him. At the same time, Fang Tian played the lion's head machete, accelerated in an instant and stabbed Pound's heart.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh!!! Zhang Wenyuan, don't be rampant. Look at the knife!!"
Pound's lion roared, and the arrogance broke out. The lion's head machete stopped the momentum, and Pound suddenly cut hard. Zhang Liao's expression changed, and a giant lion roared on the lion's head machete.
Bang!!!
Two weapons collided, and the square halberd and the lion-headed machete swung in a flash. The two mounts were counterattacked and retreated relatively. Zhang Liao retreated nearly five meters, and Fang Tian's painting halberd suddenly inserted into the ground and stopped the momentum. As for Pound's retreat of about seven or eight meters, he also stopped the retreat.
It was at this time that Ma Dai suddenly patted his horse and rushed with a knife. Pang De heard the sound of a missile behind his back. He knew that Ma Dai rushed to help the battle and rushed forward. When Zhang Liao saw Pang De and Ma Dai killing left and right, the tiger's eyes were shocked and unexpectedly greeted him. Seeing Zhang Liao rushing in an hour, he took the lead. Fang Tian painted the halberd together and stabbed Ma Dai in the throat. Pang De roared and blocked it with a knife. Ma Dai had a tacit understanding and took the opportunity to cut Zhang Liao's chest with his knife. Seeing this, Zhang Liao wanted to collect the halberd to block it. Unexpectedly, Pang De suddenly exerted his strength and violently suppressed Fang Tianhua halberd. Ma Dai's treasure knife was about to be cut. Zhang Liao hurriedly drove away, and the knife cut a fire mark on Zhang Liao's armor.
Zhang Liao was shocked. If he hadn't avoided it in time just now, he was afraid that his chest had been cut in half by Ma Dai. Zhang Liao did not dare to continue to show off his bravery. He suddenly swept up the Fangtian painting halberd, fought with Pang De and Ma Dai, and suddenly fled.
Pound chased after him, and Ma Dai ordered the army to cover up quickly. Nearly 60,000 Xiliang's army overturned like a huge wave. Zhang Liao rushed back to the front and saw that the Xiliang army was strong, which made the army retreat quickly. Fortunately, the soldiers in Zhang Liao's army are well trained. Although the situation is urgent, they can still maintain a chaotic formation. Sixty thousand Xiliang troops crushed the world and rushed to kill. The soldiers of Zhang Liao's army who escaped at the end took off their armor and abandoned their soldiers under Zhang Liao's orders. The Xiliang soldiers who chased the front of them saw it and robbed them. As a result, the Xiliang army became messy. Zhang Liao's army fled quickly, but only broke hundreds of people.
Pang De saw that the soldiers of Zhang Liao's army were in danger and retreated in an orderly manner. On the other hand, the soldiers of the self-armed army abandoned the enemy to rob because of a small thing. They were like mountain bandits and thieves, and they were so angry that they couldn't stop cursing. Several Xiliang soldiers were severely punished by Pound.
The Xiliang army has been chasing and killing Zhang Liao's army to its camp. Zhang Liao did not dare to return to the camp and returned to Pingxiang City, ordering the soldiers to guard closely and guard against the Xiliang army attacking the city.
Seeing that the sergeant was tired, Pang De took the Zhang Liao camp, and the shilling sergeant rested. The next day, Pang De and Ma Dai led a large army to besiege. The terrain of Pingxiang City was dangerous, and it was also an important pass to the hinterland of Liangzhou, so Ma Teng strengthened Ping County repeatedly. Pingxiang City is strong, the trench is dangerous and deep, and it is urgent to attack. The 60,000 Xiliang army was encircled for ten days and could not be broken.
Ma Dai was afraid that Wen Han's army would rush to Pingxiang to pick him up and come to discuss with Pound. Pound looked at Pingxiang for many days, and he happened to have a plan in his mind. Ma Dai just asked, and Pound answered.
"The soil in Pingxiang City is hard and alkaline, which is not edible, and there is no firewood. On the 10th, there is a famine between the military and the people. It's better to take in the army for the time being. It's just like this. Pingxiang City is within easy reach.
As soon as Ma Dai heard it, his eyes lit up and he shouted happily.
"General Pang, this is a wonderful plan! The last general will rush to order.
Ma Dai was happy to withdraw the account, and immediately sent the 'Order' flag to all the departments of the army. He taught him to withdraw from the army, and Pound personally broke it. The troops gradually retreated. When Zhang Liao went to the city the next day, he saw that the Xiliang army had retreated, and his face was suspicious. Then Zhang Liao sent out. As expected, he was far away, and he was relieved.
Later, he reported to Zhang Liao with the general. He said that the army and people in the city had not drunk water for many days, and there was no firewood to cook. Famine forced him. He hoped that Zhang Liao would open the city for emergency. When this one is mentioned like this, Zhang Liao subconsciously ordered to open the gate.
But suddenly, Zhang Liao's expression condensed, as if he had thought of something.
If the gate is opened, the soldiers and civilians will be driven out of the gate after ten days of hunger. At that time, the population will be complex. If Pang Lingming sends an army to sneak into the army and civilians, how can the soldiers guard the city find out!
Zhang Liao's heart tightened, and his mind turned around. After thinking for a while, he came up with a countermeasure and said with a smile.
"Haha. I didn't expect that there was also a plan in his stomach. That's the case. I might as well make a plan!"
Zhang Liao ordered the soldiers and civilians to go out of the city to fray firewood and water, open the gate of the city, and let people go in and out. On the fifth day, the sledder urgently reported that the Xiliang army arrived again, and the army and the people rushed into the city, and Zhang Liao was still closed to the city.
At about three times that night, at the west gate, a group of people and horses suddenly gushed out. They piled up straw and dry wood under the city. When they were about to make a fire, there were suddenly countless fires on all sides.
"Sure enough, as General Zhang expected, the city was really mixed with Xiliang thieves! All the soldiers obeyed the order and shot them randomly!!!"
Suddenly, there was a sneer, and the group of people and horses were in chaos as soon as they heard it and fled everywhere. However, as soon as they ran, they burst out countless bows and strings around, and tens of thousands of arrows fired together, killing most of the people and horses in an instant. Among the people and horses, Ma Dai was mixed in it. He and several big men, while avoiding the rain of arrows, rushed to the city gate. A member of Wen will find out and quickly took a team of people to intercept.
Ma Dai was anxious and angry, turning back and roaring like a lion forced to death!
"Wo-o-o-o-o!!!! Those who block me will die!!!!!
Na Wen was deterred by Ma Daixiao and caught off guard. Ma Dai's hand fell with a knife and cut him to death with a knife. Ma Dai was as brave as a lion and shocked the soldiers of the civilian army. Ma Dai rushed away and killed the military academy. When he came to the gate, Zhang Liao arrived and rushed away. When Ma Dai and several big men saw that they were about to become turtles in the urn, they all tried their best. As soon as they pulled the gate, the gate opened slightly, and the suspension bridge was not falling. Ma Dai couldn't care more and jumped into the moat and fled.
Pound was waiting outside the city when he saw the gate open and immediately ordered the soldiers to pass through the gate quickly. The army rushed, but the gate opened for a while and stopped. After a few figures jumped down the moat, there was no movement. Seeing this, Pang De ordered the soldiers to stop their footsteps. Unexpectedly, the soldiers rushed too fast, and nearly 30% of the front men and horses fell into the moat.
At this time, Zhang Liao had led the army to board the city gate. As soon as he saw the Xiliang army under the city in chaos, he killed the bow and crossbowman with arrows. The arrows in the city are like a rainstorm, falling non-stop. The front of the Xiliang Army retreated in a panic, and the back road was blocked by the central sergeants, so it was chaotic. After several rounds of arrow rain, nearly half of the people in the front of the Xiliang Army died, and the screams were endless.
Zhang Liao bowed his bow in the city, aimed at Pound in the chaotic army, and shot him with an arrow. The arrow was like a thunderbolt and suddenly flew away. Pound was stabilizing the sergeant. Suddenly, a strong wind hit the door and quickly raised the knife and cut the arrow to pieces.
Seeing that Zhang Liao did not win, he fired three arrows in a row. Pound had been prepared for a long time and broke three arrows. At the same time, Ma Dai had been rescued from the river by soldiers. Pang De saw that the army was chaotic and was about to retreat.
At this time, Zhang Liao in the city laughed and said.
"Hahaha. Pang Lingming, you have been seen through by Zhang for a long time. Today, let's calculate your fate. In the future, I, Zhang Wenyuan, will definitely kill you!"
Pound bit his teeth angrily, suppressed his anger, and did not reply, causing the soldiers to withdraw. As for Zhang Liao, because of the lack of troops in the city, he did not dare to attack rashly, so he did not send troops to chase him and let the Xiliang army retreat.
Pound lost nearly 6,000 soldiers and horses tonight, coupled with Ma Dai's previous defeat, and nearly 10,000 troops were damaged. Seeing that the battle situation was unfavorable, it was difficult for Pang De to break through the city guarded by Zhang Liao, so he sent an urgent letter to Ma Chao.
Two days later, Ma Chao received a letter and heard that the front vanguard army was blocked by Zhang Liao's only 10,000 troops, and he also lost repeatedly, damaging nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses. Ma Chao was so angry that he was about to abandon the army and rush to the front line to help fight. Cheng Gongying hurriedly stopped Ma Chao and volunteered to go. Ma was so happy that he ordered Cheng Gongying to go to the front line first. Cheng Gongying didn't stop, rushed on his way on a starry night, and rushed to Xiliang Village outside Pingxiang City two days later.
Cheng Gongying came in the wind and dust. He had been on his way for days and was exhausted, but Cheng Gongying did not rest and was eager to discuss with Pound and Ma Dai. Pound talked about the failure of the past, and Cheng Gongying secretly exclaimed that this article was extraordinary, and he did not feel a little worried.
In this time, Wen Han attacked Liangzhou. In addition to Zhang Liao, he also had two shocking tiger generals, Yu and Zhao Yun, who were both wise and brave. Both of them were Chang Sheng Generals. Zhang Liao dealt with them like this, not to mention these two shocking tiger generals who were more than several times more difficult.
Cheng Gongying sighed slowly and quickly analyzed the information about Zhang Liao in his mind. Zhang Liao was brave and scheming, and there was almost no flaw. But after all, he is still a mortal, and he is invincible. After half an hour of deliberation, Cheng Gongying made a plan and called Pound and Ma Dai to teach so and so.
Pound and Ma Dai suddenly became happy and even called Gong Ying's great wisdom as a god!
The next morning, Pang De led the army to the city of Pingxiang, set up a position, and shouted at Zhang Liao to fight. Zhang Liao saw that Xiliang's army was so powerful that he couldn't bear to get out. Unexpectedly, Pang De played a scoundrel, mentioned the evil deeds of Zhang Liao's old general Wang Lv Bu, and said that Zhang Liao helped the evil and unjust, and destroyed his three generations. The soldiers in the city were all very angry. Several generals in Zhang Liao's heart and wanted to raise troops to fight.
Zhang Liao turned a deaf ear to the scolding and said coldly.
"There is no need to be angry. This is Pang Lingming's exciting method. He wants me to abandon the land in the city and fight with the army. How can I do as he wishes? You must not fight with him. When the Lord's army comes, he will naturally kill him!"
Zhang Liao did not have a trick. He let Pang De abuse him. Pang de scolded happily, and even made the sergeant take turns to scold day and night. After scolding Lv Bu, Chen Gong, and then Wen Han, so the soldiers in the city were all angry and excited. Many soldiers wanted to fight and sue Zhang Liao. Although Zhang Liao was extremely angry in his heart, he still suppressed his impulse and stopped the soldiers.
On the fourth day, the Xiliang army scolded from early to noon, and the Xiliang army scolded tired and rested on the grass outside the city. A soldier came to report to Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao rushed to look in the city. Sure enough, he saw that the Xiliang army abandoned their horses and sat on the grass in front of the customs. Most of them were sleepy and slept on the ground.
At this point, many soldiers and soldiers reassured again. Zhang Liao was irritable when he was scolded these four days, but he had to suppress his anger and appease the soldiers. For a while, he lost his temper and his thoughts were not as close as usual.
Seeing that the Xiliang army was tired, Zhang Liao was ready to prepare horses and ordered 6,000 cavalry out of the city to kill the Xiliang army in the grassland. The Xiliang soldiers abandoned their horses and threw away. Zhang Liao shouted angrily, danced the square halberd, and chased after him. The soldiers behind them also shouted angrily to the sky, and the anger accumulated for many days seemed to break out at this moment.
Six thousand cavalrymen rushed to chase and kill, and there was a large area of bloody wind and rain in the Xiliang army. Zhang Liao killed happily and relieved his anger. He was about to turn the Xiliang army upside down before he could stop. Unexpectedly, a drum sounded, and the two armies behind the mountain cut off: Pang De on the left and Ma Dai on the right. Zhang Liao's face suddenly changed greatly. Only then did he know that he had won the plan. He quickly turned around and ordered the soldiers to retreat. However, at this time, the 6,000 cavalry troops went deep into the Western Liangran army and suddenly wanted to escape. How could there be no room? As soon as the Xiliang soldiers in the chaotic army saw the two armies killing, they immediately stopped their escape and went to Zhang Liao's army. Zhang Liao fought hard and broke, rushed left and right all the way, and came out desperately. After a while, Pound and Ma Dai led the army to kill, and the surroundings were drained. Zhang Liao's blood robe was deep, and 6,000 cavalry were instantly swallowed up by the Xiliang army. Zhang Liao rushed to dozens of arrays in a row, with thousands of holes in his robe, and there were nearly dozens of large and small wounds. After Zhang Liao hit the siege and led the remnants back to the city, Zhang Liao found that there were less than 2,000 cavalry left. However, as soon as Zhang Liao entered the city, he had time to catch his breath. The soldiers came to report, and the Xiliang soldiers rushed to the north gate. Zhang Liao immediately made a decision, led the soldiers in the city, fled to the south gate, and abandoned the city.
