The feeling of flying in the clouds and mist was conveyed to Pound, and he immediately felt like he was on the ground again.
It's just that this feeling is not brought by the feet, but by the rest of the body.
Trap!
Damn you guys, they actually dug a trap here!
Pang De cursed loudly in his heart.
In the pit, there are some bamboo sticks and other things.
Fortunately, he was wearing armor, and when he fell, he instinctively put the shield in his hand under his body. He was not hurt, but there were screams around him.
Apparently someone on my side has been tricked.
Pang De was furious and quickly jumped out of the pit.
I quickly took a look around and found that a ravine about one foot wide appeared more than ten feet away from the Aotou Pass wall.
Some of our own soldiers fell in and were struggling inside. Some of them were impaled by bamboo sticks, wooden thorns and other things inside, and they screamed and blood flowed.
Pound shouted, gathering some panicked soldiers, and together they lifted up the fallen ladder and tried to put it up the Aotou Pass wall.
After trying it, I found that there is such a ravine and it is impossible to build a ladder on it.
You need to be in a ravine or across a ravine.
After confirming this matter, Pang De decisively issued the order to retreat, and while shouting, retreated towards the back.
This kind of retreat is not a retreat without hesitation, but a retreat together with the ladder.
The ladder is very important to them and cannot be left alone here.
Otherwise, the people who closed it would definitely set off rockets to burn it down.
Ma Chao, who was watching the battle from behind, couldn't help but hit the palm of his left hand hard when he saw Pang De and others falling into the pit.
How can these damn traitors be so insidious!
Seeing Pang De start to retreat, and looking at the pit blocking the wall, he had no choice but to have someone ring the gong for withdrawal.
Let some soldiers who have not seen the situation ahead and are still moving forward quickly retreat.
During this process, arrows kept flying down from the wall of Aotou Pass and shooting at them.
On top of the barrier, someone saw Pang De and others retreating and immediately suggested leaving the barrier to pursue them.
I felt that Ma Chao and others had come all the way at this time, and they were tired. They had not set up camp yet, and they retreated at this time. Taking advantage of the situation, they came out of the pass and chased after them, and they were able to defeat the thieves in one fell swoop.
There is no doubt that such a proposal was rejected by Niu Fu. He pointed with his whip at the Ma Chao cavalry and archers who were in stable formation, without saying anything.
The man wanted to say more, but Niu Fu glared back.
Seeing the general shut up and go back, Niu Fu shook his head. If he had known this, he shouldn't have reasoned with him. He should have just stared.
Ma Chao, who was riding a horse and holding a gun, stared at Aotou Pass, waiting for the opponent to take advantage of his side to retreat and come out to cover up the attack.
This is the opportunity he has been waiting for.
He was confident that those who chased him would never come back, and he could take advantage of the situation to win the Aotou Pass.
As a result, when the retreating people on their side left the shooting range of Yujian and returned, there was still no movement at Aotou Pass.
"Things without eggs!"
Ma Chao cursed bitterly...
The first wave of battles after Ma Chao arrived at Aotou Pass ended unexpectedly.
"The thief is on guard. It seems that the other party is not really stupid. Although Thief Dong made peace with us, he is still wary of us, otherwise he would not leave such a trick here."
Pang De, who was covered in dust, came to Ma Chao and spoke to Ma Chao.
Ma Chao nodded when he heard the words: "That's true.
However, even so, it still cannot stop us!
Fill in the ravine, and then continue to build the ladder.
You don’t need to fill in the entire ravine, you just need to fill in sections to create twenty or thirty places that can be used to build ladders.”
Pang De nodded to express his agreement with Ma Chao's words.
After he discovered that he could not build a ladder, he immediately returned with this idea in mind.
Under such circumstances, failure to retreat first, fill in the ravine and then build a ladder will cause great casualties.
Just like this, more than fifty people completely lost their lives in this round and round.
"Ling Ming, you don't have to lead people to do this yourself this time. You can save your strength and attack the city again."
When Pang De turned around to arrange things, Ma Chao called to Pang De and said to Pang De...
The silence on the battlefield was quickly broken.
The people on Ma Chao's side began to rush toward Aotou Pass with shields on their backs, sacks and other items carrying soil to fill the trench.
Naturally, the people at Aotou Pass would not let them do this. The archers above kept shooting arrows downwards.
Although the shields held by these Xiliang soldiers can greatly reduce damage, they cannot reduce all damage. From time to time, someone will be shot to death or injured.
"If I had known better, I would have dug more trenches like this outside and asked them to fill them in properly."
On top of Aotou Pass, Niu Fu looked at the scene in front of the pass and said with a smile on his face.
After finishing speaking, he thought for a while and called the messenger over again, explained a few words, and asked the messenger to call.
Soon, a voice sounded on the wall of Aotou Pass: "You should go back quickly. Since this is your first offense, you can forget about it. Otherwise, your generals will be treated as traitors."
!”
After Ma Chao and others heard this, they naturally would not stop attacking and evacuate here.
On the contrary, the trench filling became more vigorous.
After all, these words were full of threats, but when he heard them, it was a completely different story.
That is here in Aotou Mountain. Although there are certain preparations, the preparations are not enough.
It was true that the Dong thieves moved their troops away from here before.
At this time, Aotou Mountain is indeed empty!
An hour later, Pound stood up again.
During this period of time, he had a good sleep in such a chaotic environment.
When I was woken up by someone, I felt refreshed and extremely comfortable.
He stretched his body, picked up his shield and knife, quickly formed a team, and then led his men and carried the ladders to charge towards Aotou Pass.
"This man is a fierce general!"
On top of the wall, Niu Fu, who was watching the battlefield situation, pointed at Pang De and said.
Huang Zhong, who was not too far away, nodded in agreement when he heard Niu Fu's words.
Niu Fu said that Pound was a fierce general because he saw Pound's charge and Pound's leap out of the pit.
Huang Zhong focused on Pound's ability to sleep in such an environment.
As the two of them commented, the feathered arrows that had become sparse on the wall became denser again.
Pang De and other Xiliang soldiers also rushed in quickly, braving their arrows. This time, there was no sudden trap.
"Prepare the logs! Prepare the rocks!"
Seeing these people rushing closer and closer despite the rain of arrows, someone at Aotou Pass shouted to convey the order.
Immediately, soldiers picked up the rolled logs and stones that had been prepared.
"Smash!"
Immediately after the order was issued, rolling logs and stones poured down. Someone was hit on the head and fainted on the ground without any movement.
Someone was hit in the leg and fell to the ground immediately, letting out a miserable scream that didn't sound like a human voice.
The cruelty of war was vividly displayed at this time.
Under such an attack, the Xiliang soldiers, who paid a heavy price, still put the ladder on the wall of Aotou Pass.
The cloud ladder is not the usual kind of ladder. There is a strong hook-like device at the top of it, which can be stuck on the top of the city wall. It will not be easy to destroy for a while.
As for the city defenders, they couldn't push down the ladder with their hands without destroying the hook at the top stuck on the city wall.
"Everyone! Follow me to attack the city!"
Pound roared.
Then he bit the knife in his mouth, held a shield above his head with one hand, and quickly climbed up the ladder.
People who climb up the ladder will undoubtedly become the focus of attention, and countless rolling logs and rocks will be thrown at them.
"Bang!"
"Ah~"
A Xiliang soldier had just climbed less than halfway when he was hit by a stone weighing more than thirty kilograms. He screamed and suddenly broke his guard and fell from the ladder.
After falling down, before he had any time to struggle to get up, another large boulder fell from the sky, hit his chest, and sank directly in. The man immediately stopped moving...
"Bang bang..."
Rolling logs and rocks kept hitting the shield above Pound's head.
The powerful impact made his arms numb and slowed down his upward attack.
But Pang De is indeed a Xiliang warrior who has left a name in history.
Despite this, his steps never stopped.
Just hold the knife between your teeth and keep climbing up.
Aotou Pass is not very majestic, the gate wall is less than four feet.
Compared with other tall and majestic walls, this one is easy to deal with.
It was also because of this that when Ma Teng and the others were making plans in Liangzhou, they thought of launching a strong attack on Aotou Pass.
Therefore, even if Pound's climbing speed is affected, he is already close to the top of the wall at this time.
"kill!"
On top of the wall, someone suddenly shouted loudly.
Immediately, a spearman pointed his spear at Pang De.
Pound, who was being watched secretly, blocked it with his round shield.
He held his breath and climbed up with his spear, bursting out with the greatest strength.
His body was soon level with the wall.
The Aotou Mountain soldiers guarding here had their eyes red. The commander in charge of this section of the wall shouted loudly and thrust his spear into Pang De's stomach. He wanted to kill this guy. What did he say?
We can't even let him go up the wall!
Pound was also risking his life at this time. When he saw the spear coming, and the buckler in his hand was pierced by the spear of other spearmen, it was inconvenient to use, so he immediately threw away the buckler in his hand.
Then he stood on the ladder, flashed to the limit, and with his left hand holding the round shield, he grasped the hollow barrel of the gun and pulled hard. At the same time, he exerted force on his legs and jumped up directly, climbing over the Aotou Pass wall!
The moment he jumped onto the wall, he already held the knife in his right hand and slashed with all his strength, directly killing a soldier of Aotou Pass next to him!
He struck again with the knife, slashing at the person he was holding the gun barrel and pulling towards him.
Na Shichang struggled to avoid it, but one of his arms was inevitably cut off!
After Pang De entered the city, he was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. In a short time, he killed five or six soldiers.
However, he did not dare to go far, he just stayed at the ladder behind him to prevent the soldiers at Aotou Pass from throwing stones on the ladder behind him.
If you want more people below, climb up quickly along the ladder.
As long as many people climb up in a short period of time, the advantageous situation he has opened can be defended, and he will be able to counterattack the soldiers at Aotou Pass and seize Aotou Pass!
"Don't get too close, stab him with your spear!
Don’t be afraid!”
Shi Chang, who had one arm cut off and rolled to the side, endured the severe pain and roared.
Give instructions and use your good arms to stand up on the ground.
As a result, as soon as he stood up, he was stabbed in the chest and abdomen by a flying long knife and died!
This knife was thrown by Pound.
At this time, there were many spearmen around. Pound used a knife, but it had too many shortcomings, so he abandoned the long knife.
This extremely long death did not directly trigger a small-scale panic, which stagnated the morale of the military. Many people did not even dare to attack Pound anymore.
At this time, after no one attacked the ladder behind Pound, the pressure on the Xiliang soldiers climbing up the ladder instantly decreased, and their climbing speed increased sharply.
At this time, two people had already climbed up.
With the addition of these two people, Pound's pressure has been reduced a lot.
"Damn it! Pour the grease! Order all these ladders for me!"
When Niu Fu saw this scene, he roared.
He really didn't expect that he would actually let people from Ma Chao's side climb up the wall.
"Hurry up and get over here! Kill the person who is charging at the city wall!"
He pointed at Pang De, who was killing people over there, and shouted.
At this time, Huang Zhong had already taken off the bow from his back, held it in his hand, and quickly attached an arrow.
With a little force on his arm, he pulled the bow and arrow away and aimed at Pound.
Huang Zhong looked grim.
Pang De's bravery, as well as the instant damage caused by rushing onto the city wall, had already made him feel a strong murderous intention in his heart.
"Zheng!"
The sound of the bowstring sounded, and the arrows flew rapidly towards Pang De.
Pang De had just stabbed an Aotou Mountain soldier to death with his spear. He happened to catch a glimpse of Huang Zhong firing an arrow from the corner of his eye. He was startled and quickly dodged. The arrow flew out against his neck, leaving a bloody mark on his neck!
"Pfft!"
He dodged, but others did not. The arrow hit the chest of a soldier beside him who had just climbed up, killing the man directly!
Pang De was shocked, knowing that he had met a master!
At the moment, his attention is mainly focused on Huang Zhong.
When Huang Zhong saw his first arrow being dodged by this man, his expression remained unchanged. With a slight movement of his hand, another feathered arrow was placed on the bowstring. He took aim slightly and then let go.
Feather arrows and meteors flew away like the moon!
Huang Zhong did not look at the result, but moved his hands together, drew out the feather arrow again, opened the bow and fired the arrows at Pang De one after another!
When Pang De saw Huang Zhong firing his bow, he hurriedly dodged and dodged an arrow. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he found that there were still many more arrows flying over!
In shock, he couldn't care less and rolled to the ground, holding a dead soldier in front of him as a shield.
The popping sound of arrows piercing flesh kept ringing.
Some of them shot into the corpse in front of Pound, and some shot into the bodies of Pound's soldiers who climbed up along the ladder that Pound was protecting. One of them just emerged from the ladder.
, was shot to death by Huang Zhong with an arrow!
He screamed and fell from the city wall.
Seeing this, Pang De knew that it would not be a problem if this situation continued. If he did not deal with such a sharpshooter, the threat on his side would be too great!
Immediately, he rolled over, took the knife and shield from his dead subordinates, and protected them in front of him. He shouted to the three soldiers around him and told them to guard the ladder, and then rushed in the direction of Huang Zhong.
go.
Ao Touguan soldiers blocked him, but he easily killed him.
When Huang Zhong saw that this man was mixed with his own soldiers and had no way to kill him, he immediately put away his bow, held his broadsword, and strode toward Pang De.
Compared with bows and arrows, Huang Hansheng is not afraid of anyone, and he is also not afraid of anyone in close combat!
Of course, except Uncle Liu Huang.
"You guys, get out of the way and let me come!"
Huang Zhong shouted loudly.
The ordinary soldiers were suffering from the inability to stop Pang De, so they immediately ducked aside after hearing this.
Go find soldiers to fight with.
As the saying goes, soldiers against soldiers, against generals, it is really difficult for them to deal with a strong general like Pound.
"Every general can be named! A certain family's sword will not kill an unknown person!"
On the way Huang Zhongting Dao Gan came, he shouted loudly.
"This is Pang De Pang Lingming from Nan'an! Who are you?"
Pound asked loudly.
Huang Zhongdao: "A certain family... won't tell you!"
Huang Zhong originally wanted to report his name, but he remembered that he had been with the emperor's uncle in Yushan before, and the emperor's uncle had used a cover-up method to come here, and now he was going to perform an important mission, fearing that he would
The thieves will notice it, and when the words come to their lips, they will be changed like this.
When Pang De heard this, he was so angry that he trembled all over. Who is this person?
When I asked myself my name, I told him directly. When I asked him, he directly gave me a name without telling me?
Isn't this looking down on people?
"You hide your head and show your tail! My men specialize in killing nameless ghosts like you!"
Pang De cursed loudly and slashed at Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong was a little depressed after being scolded. Before he asked the question, he really didn't think that the whereabouts of the emperor's uncle could not be exposed.
Without saying a word at that moment, he waved the sword in his hand and slashed at Pang De.
Both of them are fierce generals. Although they are both good at horse fighting, they are also very capable in foot fighting.
With a "clang" sound, the two men's swords collided together.
With just this strike, the two of them noticed the other's extraordinary appearance.
What a good opponent!
With this thought in mind, they started fighting one after another.
In a short time, there were more than thirty rounds of fighting, with neither side winning or losing.
Huang Zhong held his sword straight and became more and more courageous as he fought. Each sword was as tight as a sword.
Pound had previously marched on the city and fought with ordinary soldiers, losing a lot of strength. Now he was feeling a little weak.
He also caught a glimpse of the soldiers climbing up the ladder, and now only one person was left, struggling to hold on there, and he immediately wanted to retreat.
While fighting with Huang Zhong, he retreated in that direction.
It's not that there are no other soldiers at Aotou Pass who want to take the opportunity to stab Pound, but the battle between Pound and Huang Zhong is too fierce for ordinary people to intervene!
Huang Zhong naturally saw Pound's plan and immediately shouted: "Block this person's escape! This person wants to run away!"
Although these soldiers were not under Huang Zhong's command, Huang Zhong's performance at this time had completely conquered these soldiers.
After hearing what Huang Zhong said, several people immediately stopped behind Pang De.
Seeing this, Pang De sneered, and after exchanging moves with Huang Zhong, he ducked behind him.
Throwing away the knife in his hand, he grasped a spear that had been thrust into his hand and pulled hard, causing the soldier to rush towards his arms involuntarily.
Pound did not take the opportunity to deal with the soldier, but took advantage of the situation and pulled the soldier behind him!
At this time, Huang Zhong came over with a slash of his sword. When he saw that his own soldiers were being pulled back by Pang, he could only slash his sword into the open space on one side.
Pound, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, quickly rushed to the edge of the ladder.
At this time, the last personal guard had also been hacked to death.
Behind him, Huang Zhong came over again with his sword in hand. There were other Aotoushan soldiers nearby, and the situation was very critical.
There is no room for Pound to hesitate. He must leave here as quickly as possible at this time, otherwise he may never be able to leave again!
At that moment, he reached out and took the shield from the dead bodyguard again, and rushed forward one by one.
A long spear was thrust at him. Pound roared and used his right hand to smash it to the side. At the same time, he used both feet to jump up directly. When he reached the low wall outside the wall, he was about to go down the ladder.
"You've already come, why go?"
Huang Zhong arrived behind him and shouted loudly.
At the same time, the big knife in his hand was already slashing hard at Pang De's back.
In this situation, Pound couldn't dodge at all!
And Pound, at this time, also showed the qualities that a fierce general should have.
In a hurry, he put the shield in his left hand behind his body and took Huang Zhong's sword forcefully!
Bang!
There was a muffled sound, Huang Zhong's killing blow was blocked, and the shield was directly split open!
Pound, who was standing on the wall-mounted ladder, was also hit and fell down uncontrollably!
Huang Zhong's sword made his chest and abdomen tremble, making him feel like he was about to be split open!
The people at Aotou Pass saw Pang De slashed by Huang Zhong and fell down the wall, and some people couldn't help but let out a cry of joy.
In fact, the force that Pound showed just now was too frightening and doubled their pressure.
If it hadn't been for the unknown general holding a big sword who came to take action at the last moment, I'm afraid many of them would have died.
Maybe today, Aotou Pass will really fall, and it’s not impossible!
Huang Zhong was not as optimistic as these people. He rushed here in two or two steps and looked at the situation. He saw that Pang De, who had been chopped off the city with his sword, had not fallen to the ground, but was facing head down and feet up.
Slide down the ladder quickly.
"What's going on?"
Seeing this scene, even Huang Zhong couldn't help but froze for a moment...
