Chapter 474 Take my letter and let the archers defending the city take care of the feathers
Chapter 474: Take my letter and ask the archers guarding the city to raise their arrows thirty degrees...
Pang De's ultimate escape left Huang Zhong in a daze, and he didn't understand what was going on for a while.
However, this did not prevent him from putting the knife aside and taking off the bow again.
In fact, Pound's situation at this time is easy to understand.
The main reason why this happened was because when Huang Zhong fell forward and fell to the wall after being slashed by Huang Zhong's sword, there was a ladder standing in front of him.
He lay directly on the ladder.
While lying on the ladder, he placed the shield in his other hand under his body.
And he took advantage of the situation to lift his head and legs behind him, trying not to come into contact with the ladder as much as possible.
Then the whole person was like riding a slide, rushing downwards along the ladder.
It can be said that no matter what Pound's martial arts skills are, there are really many ways to escape when he wants to escape. It is a pity that such a character, with such skills, does not do extreme sports...
"Zheng!"
The bow string trembled, and an arrow shot out, but it hit Pound's armor and failed to penetrate.
At this time, Pang De also landed safely, stirring up a lot of smoke and dust.
He immediately stood up, holding his shield in front of him, and then another feather arrow shot out, piercing his calf!
Pang De didn't dare to stay here longer, because the guy on the wall was too terrible at shooting.
Now, under the protection of the personal guards holding shields, they walked slowly towards the back.
Seeing that there was no chance to shoot Pang De, Huang Zhong drew his bow and shot several Xiliang soldiers who climbed the city wall. Then he put away his bow, picked up his knife, and headed towards the previous location.
The soldiers around looked at the man leaving with full respect.
The battlefield is a place where the strong are respected. There is no doubt that Huang Zhong has used his actions and strength to gain the respect of everyone present.
"Han Sheng, I really have you! You are worthy of being the one who killed the traitor Lu Bu!"
If it weren't for Han Sheng and you showing off your might just now, I'm afraid this place would be in danger now!"
Niu Fu walked up to Huang Zhong and spoke to Huang Zhong excitedly.
After seeing Pang De attack the city and display his might, Niu Fu was extremely frightened. He was really worried that Aotou Pass would be breached.
If it was really breached, he would have gone too far this time, and things would be very serious!
After all, Liu Cheng had already gone to the Death Swamp at this time, preparing to survive and cut off the thieves' escape route.
If he can't resist here, he will trick Liu Cheng.
At the same time, the situation here in Guanzhong will also be turbulent, and the consequences will be too serious.
Huang Zhongdao: "The general Zhonglang praised him so much that it is a pity that he did not keep it."
Niu Fu said: "You have done a good job. Pang De, Ke De mentioned to me, said that this person has the courage that no one can match. He is a fierce general. Even if he encounters Lu Bu's dead thief, he can defeat him."
Fighting with one comes and goes.
At this point, it seems that what Kede said is indeed true.
The soldiers and horses of Xiliang are indeed not easy to deal with. We must cheer up, otherwise it will be bad if the boat capsizes in the ditch."
What happened just now woke up Niu Fu and made him look at this battle with great energy, without daring to have any contempt anymore.
War kills people, it's not a joke.
When Huang Zhong heard what Niu Fu said, he raised his hands to Niu Fu and expressed his agreement with Niu Fu's words. He did not continue to speak, but began to watch the entire battlefield situation...
Ma Chao has been watching the battlefield situation.
After seeing Pound being the first to rush to Aotou Pass, and after he rushed to Aotou Pass, the ladder there no longer had any rolling wood or rocks falling down, and one after another his own soldiers continued to move along the ladder.
Climbing up, Ma Chao felt excited and couldn't help clenching his fists. He felt that this time, half of the success was achieved.
As long as Pang De can hold on for a while longer, his own advantage will become bigger and bigger.
After more people go up, Pound can divide his troops to guard this ladder, and then go to other ladders to fight and defend the other ladders...
As long as Pang De can open the door, Ma Chao is confident that this battle can end today!
Ma Chao was very confident about Pang De. He was his father's most powerful general, so he could only slightly overpower him while the others could not.
Now that Pang De has reached the Aotou Pass, he will definitely gain something!
After waiting like this for a while, Ma Chao did not wait for Pang De to open the city gate, but instead waited for Pang De to be chopped off from the city wall by Huang Zhong with a knife, and then escape down the ladder.
Such a scene made Ma Chao stunned and became a little confused.
Is there such a fierce general here in Aotou Pass?
Could it be that Thief Liu came here?
It seems that the military commander who showed off his prowess is also very good at shooting...
Maybe, Thief Liu is really here!
Ma Chao beat drums here to encourage his troops and horses to continue attacking the city.
As for him, he rode towards the front and met Pang De, who had retreated to the back under the escort of his own bodyguards.
"Ling Ming, how are you? Is the injury serious?"
Ma Chao turned over and dismounted, looked at Pang De and asked aloud.
Pang De said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that a thief shot an arrow in his calf."
Ma Chao hurriedly went to take a look and found that the arrow only penetrated the flesh and did not damage the bones. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the bones are not injured, the impact will not be too great.
However, within a period of time, it will be affected and the combat power will inevitably decrease.
"Who is the person fighting with Ling Ming? Is it Liu Cheng and Liu Kede?"
Ma Chao looked at Pang De and asked.
Pang De shook his head and said: "No, the traitor Liu Cheng is young, about ten or twenty years old. This man is old, no less than forty."
Ma Chao breathed a sigh of relief when Pang De said it was not Liu Cheng.
If the traitor Liu Cheng appeared at Aotou Pass at this time, it would explain a lot of problems.
This shows that their actions this time are very likely to be deceived!
And if the people in Guanzhong deceive them like this, they will definitely have powerful back-ups to deal with them.
But there was some regret in my heart. I felt that it was a pity that I could not fight the Liu thief openly and kill him.
Human thoughts are often so contradictory and complex...
"Then does Ling Ming know who this person is?"
It's okay that Ma Chao didn't mention this, but when he mentioned it, Pang couldn't help but get angry, thinking of that guy's damn operation.
"I don't know. That guy was thick-skinned and shady. He asked me my name. I told the truth, but he didn't tell me my name."
Pang De said looking depressed.
Ma Chao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, what the hell is this, such a shameless person?
Pang De nodded, indicating that the guy was so shameless.
Ma Chao said a few words to Pound, then quickly asked Pound to go back to the back, and asked the military doctor to treat Pound's injuries quickly.
The battle to attack Aotou Pass did not end because Pang De was injured and retreated, it was still going on.
After Pound retreated, several more people climbed to Aotou Pass. However, none of them lasted as long as Pound. They were quickly killed on Aotou Pass, or were hacked to death by people above Aotou Pass.
Lost it.
It didn't have much impact.
There are more than eight ladders burning with fire.
This is the result of the people at Aotou Pass pouring oil down the ladder and then throwing down torches to light it.
A few unlucky ones have turned into burning men, rolling on the ground and wailing in pain.
The cruelty of war is undoubtedly revealed...
"Ming Jin, withdraw your troops!"
Looking at the sun in the sky, Ma Chao tightened his grip on the steel gun in his hand and gave an order.
As his order was issued, there was a loud sound of gold.
The soldiers of Xiliang, who had already paid a heavy price, turned around and ran away without even a moment's hesitation when they heard the sound of gold.
The siege battle just now caused them a lot of suffering.
At Aotou Pass, there were arrows falling, but they were much sparse, and there were cheers to celebrate that they had repelled an attack by Xiliang soldiers and horses.
Ma Chao looked at Aotou Pass and waited until all their soldiers had withdrawn. The door of Aotou Pass was still closed tightly, with no intention of opening it. He couldn't help but let out a long breath, but the depression in his heart was gone.
No reduction.
These guys in Aotou Pass really match this name, they are just shrinking bastards!
He cursed angrily in his heart, and then ordered the withdrawal of troops, retreating ten miles to the stronghold.
Those who participated in the siege were at the front, and the cavalry he personally led walking slowly at the end...
Above Aotou Pass, someone looked at the Xiliang soldiers slowly retreating under their noses, with strong unwillingness on their faces.
I couldn't bear to see these people leave like this.
In his opinion, these retreating Xiliang people are walking military merits.
After all, just now, their soldiers who were attacking the city had been routed to a pulp, and they didn't have much courage anymore.
Just go out and rush to kill, you can make the Xiliang people fall into disarray, and then easily gain military glory.
But what makes people feel uncomfortable is that his commander is not allowed to leave the border to chase the enemy!
This is really annoying!
But it’s hard to say anything, I can only endure it here...
When Ma Chao and his party retreated ten miles away and found a suitable place to set up camp, it was almost evening.
Set up camp and cook at the same time.
However, time is tight, and it is obviously impossible to build a better and stronger camp today.
Many soldiers are worried that if the camp is not well established, someone will come to rob the camp at Aotou Pass.
However, Ma Chao didn't have the slightest concern.
On the contrary, he was particularly happy for the people from Aotou Pass to come and rob the camp at night.
This was originally the last plan in their series of plans.
First, after coming over, they will deceive the pass. If the deception fails, they will attack by force. If they cannot attack by force, they will retreat and lure the people at Aotou Pass to come out and attack.
If the people at Aotou Pass do not pursue pursuit, they will rely on setting up camp to lure the other party to come and rob the camp...
After the army had dinner, Ma Chao began to discuss with the generals and arrange plans.
When the night got dark, Ma Chao, Ma Dai and others led their troops and horses, quietly left the camp and went outside to ambush...
…
Hiding in the wild with his troops and horses, Ma Chao felt very nervous as he felt the cold wind blowing against his face.
He was worried that these guys from Aotou Mountain would not come out at night.
If this is really the case, then things will be really uncomfortable.
If you want to win a quick battle, break through the Aotou Pass, and push all the way to the middle of the pass, it will be difficult!
These damn guys must come out!
…
"...General Zhonglang, my subordinates request to send troops to rob the camp!"
In the camp behind Aotou Pass, Guo Bang strode all the way to Niu Fu and asked Niu Fu for orders.
He is Ushi Fu's old subordinate.
Niu Fu's four lieutenants, Li Jue and Zhang Ji, led their troops to help Guandong. At this time, Guo Si and Fan Chou were listening to Niu Fu's orders.
Although Niu Fu had previously announced orders and plans that he would not stick to, Guo Si still came over at this time.
Because he didn't want to miss this opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
Before Zhang Ji, he followed Liu Cheng in doing things. Although he never actually sent troops to Yizhou, he still contributed his efforts and made great achievements following him.
Li Jue participated in the encirclement and suppression of Lu Bu before, and also made great achievements, but he and Fan Chou did not make any achievements.
Among the four, he and Li Jue were the strongest, while Zhang Ji and Fan Chou were not as strong as them.
As a result, Zhang Ji actually succeeded in getting on top of him.
How could Guo Bang remain calm under such circumstances?
He was working hard to make a great contribution in this battle against Xiliang Han Sui and Ma Teng, to suppress Zhang Ji who had overtaken him, and even surpass Li Jue to become the leader among the four.
The strongest.
The opportunity had come, but Niu Fu refused to send troops. How could he endure it?
Immediately, he came to find Niu Fu, preparing to show his affection and reason to Niu Fu, so that Niu Fu would agree to send troops to attack at night.
Hearing this, Niu Fu raised his eyebrows unconsciously: "Why send troops?"
Guo Bang said: "In today's battle, the thieves' momentum has been taken away, and time is short. It will be impossible to set up a camp.
If we go out to rob the camp tonight, we will definitely be able to catch the thieves off guard and defeat their vanguard.
After this battle, the thieves such as Ma Teng and Han Sui who came later could be more respectful and recognize the reality of the situation, so that they would not dare to act rashly.
From now on, we will have the initiative in the future!"
Niu Fu sneered and said: "While the thieves are not yet firmly established, they go to rob the camp. You can think of these things, but the thieves can't think of them?
It is true that the thieves suffered a setback today, but the rest of the troops are still intact.
I saw that their soldiers and horses were very elite, and they might be waiting for me to rob the camp, and then take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack.
You must not go there, otherwise you will fall into the trap of the thieves..."
With today's incident of Pang De rushing to Aotou Pass to show off his might, and Liu Cheng's previous explanation, Niu Fu was much more cautious and did not dare to act recklessly again.
Guo Si did not give up and continued to persuade him to do this.
But Ushifu didn't agree with anything.
After some persuasion, Niu Fu still disagreed.
Guo Si left reluctantly.
On the way out, everyone felt extremely depressed.
When did my old boss become so cowardly?
He was not like this before!
He didn't agree with such a good plan of his, and he became so hesitant and unbecoming of a man!
No wonder he was already surpassed by Lu Bu and then Liu Cheng in such a short period of time.
The more he thought about it, the more Guo Bang felt depressed...
"How about it? Does Mr. Zhonglang agree with our plan?"
When Guo Bang returned to his camp, the general immediately came to inquire.
Guo Bang shook his head and told what Niu Fu could not do according to his orders.
After the words were spoken, everyone present became silent.
Some people even punched the ground hard, looking extremely annoyed.
What a great opportunity!
Was it wasted like this?
At this time, someone said: "This should be the idea given by Uncle Liu Huang."
Guo Si was stunned when he heard this: "Isn't Uncle Liu Huang in Yushan? His military power has been deprived of him."
The general under Guo Bin said: "Colonel, think about it, who is the person who took away many of our troops?
The man's name was Huang Zhong, and he was following Uncle Liu Huang in Yushan.
As a result, now that I have come to Aotou Mountain, I am still being treated like this by General Zhonglang.
There are many problems here.
Moreover, in the past two days, what General Zhonglang has done is not like before, as if he is a different person..."
When this person said this, Guo Bang also reacted.
"You said that Uncle Liu Huang is in Aotou Mountain?"
The partial general said: "That's not necessarily true. It's possible that a letter came from there, telling our lieutenant general how to fight..."
"How do we fight, and who do we need to teach us?
When we were at war, that man was still killing pigs in the countryside.
Don't think that just because you have achieved some results, you will feel that you are number one in the world, as if no one else can fight except him!
The arms and legs are stretched a bit too long.
We even have to take care of how we fight here.
He is far away in Yushan. Can he know the situation here? Can he know as clearly as we do?
The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and fighting requires adaptability.
His hand is so long, why don't he send a letter from Yushan and just ask the archer to adjust the angle upward before shooting?"
After hearing this man's words, everyone present couldn't help but smile.
Some people sincerely admire Liu Cheng's achievements, while others are dissatisfied with what Liu Cheng has done.
Of course, this dissatisfaction is mostly caused by jealousy.
I think Liu Cheng is just lucky.
What Liu Cheng did can be done by yourself too!
Guo Si, Guo Si, and many generals under Guo Si all have this mentality.
Originally, if no one had mentioned Liu Cheng at this time, Guo Bang would not have been so angry. However, when his subordinates said this, he couldn't help it.
"How about we sneak out and rob the camp in the middle of the night?"
Guo Bang looked at his generals and asked this question.
Several people were shocked when they heard this.
Then someone said: "I think it's okay, this is an excellent opportunity to make a contribution, and we can't let it be lost in vain."
"However, General Zhonglang issued a strict order not to do this..."
There are timid people who look worried when they say this.
“You still don’t know the temper of General Zhonglang?
He won't let us out because he's just afraid of failure. As long as we succeed, Zhonglang will never care about this this time. He will only reward us heavily and record our great achievements!"
Guo Si retorted loudly.
After hearing Guo Si's words, several people nodded, thinking that there was nothing wrong with Guo Si's words, and that their lieutenant general was such a person.
However, the general named Li Xin was also a little worried, and he tried to dissuade him a few words, but was scolded by Guo Si: "Why are you so courageous? You really don't look like the soldiers I, Guo Si, led!"
If you go to rob the camp this time, don't go. Stay here at Aotou Pass to provide support. Let's see how we can defeat the thieves at night, kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, making the thieves afraid!
These people have been killed and their courage has been broken today. Today I can see clearly that the people who lead the troops as the vanguard are just babies with no hair. How capable can they be?
I have eaten more salt than the roads I have traveled.
This class of people are specially prepared for us to make meritorious deeds!"
Li Xin's mouth moved when he heard this. He wanted to say that Uncle Liu Huang was also extremely young, so he gave an example to Guo Si.
However, thinking of Guo Bang's temper, he still refrained from speaking.
At that moment, Guo Bang discussed with several of his men and then began to come to the camp and make preparations quietly...
"Captain, would it be too few if you only bring 3,000 troops to rob the camp? The other side has many people."
Li Xin suggested.
Guo Bang said: "Three thousand people are quite a lot. It is more than enough to deal with these Xiliang rabble. If there are too many people, there will be too much noise. If someone notices it, he will inform General Zhonglang, and General Zhonglang will come and stop him. But just
The gain outweighs the loss!
Fortunately, the ones guarding the door today are our troops, otherwise it would be really difficult to get out without anyone noticing."
When Li Xin saw that Guo Si had made up his mind and was determined to rob the camp, he knew that no matter how much he tried to persuade him, it would be ineffective and would instead make Guo Si dissatisfied, so he said no more, but he always felt uneasy in his heart...
…
At the third watch, Guo Bang was quietly moving here, and people came to Aotou Pass with their names and horses in their mouths.
The person guarding the door tonight was originally a subordinate of Guo Si. Guo Bang also said that he was ordered by Niu Fu to rob the camp. How could the person guarding the door not open the door and let Guo Si out?
"Colonel Lieutenant, you have a distinguished status. This trip is somewhat risky. Why don't you stay here and let a few of them lead the troops to rob the camp. With a few of them here, they can still do the job."
At the last moment, Li Xin spoke again and tried to persuade each other.
There were also some words that he did not say out loud because he was afraid that Guo Si and several other colleagues would not be happy with them.
That is, if Guo Si didn't go, what happened this time was really a failure. Guo Si could completely blame it on his subordinates, disobey his orders and act on his own. He didn't even know that the higher-ups could do it to the greatest extent.
to pluck themselves out.
While picking himself out, he rescued several others.
It's really too rash to go out like this now.
"No, for today's matter, I have to personally lead the troops. Only after such a victory can I show my majesty.
Although I am no longer a teenager, the blood in my heart is still hot!"
After that, he added: "Liu Cheng dares to take the lead in every battle. Why don't I dare?"
After the voice fell, he led his bodyguards all the way out of Aotou Pass.
Li Xin took a deep breath and felt that the uneasiness in her heart became stronger...
