Chapter 191 Pang Nuan: Look at my gangster’s excited meow punch!
The time is set back three hours.
The morning sun rose as usual, and Wei Qi walked towards Pang Nuan with a steaming bowl of mutton soup: "General Pang, drink some mutton soup."
For more than a month, Pang Nuan fell asleep more than once a day. Ten times, the total sleep per day does not exceed two hours.
Not only that, Pang Nuan, who is over 90 years old, still needs to stay in a sub-zero environment and endure the severe cold.
In the siege battle that lasted for more than a month, the one who suffered the most damage to the Zhao and Wei coalition forces was not the wall of Xiuyu City, but Pang Nuan!
After taking the mutton soup, Pang Nuan did not drink it directly. Instead, he greedily held the pottery bowl with both hands, letting the warm pottery bowl warm his stiff hands, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you."
Wei Qi said warmly: "The rhythm of the Qin army's siege has become more and more fixed in recent days. The general already knows the Qin army's siege pattern."
"General Pang, please sleep for a while. The last general will help General Pang watch for a while. "
Wei Qi has no confidence in facing the Qin generals.
But Wei Qi recorded every order issued by Pang Nuan for more than a month on the bamboo slips.
In Wei Qi's opinion, it should be no problem for him to copy the answer and insist on letting Pang Nuan rest for a few hours...right?
Pang Nuan shook his head: "The main force of the Qin Army is attacking Wu'an City of Zhao. Chang'an Lord can choose to attack Xiuyu City and fight separately, or you can choose to reinforce the Qin Army's North Route Army and join forces with twenty "If you take more, you will lose."
"But Mr. Chang'an will never choose to waste time in Xiuyu City!"
Pang Nuan took a small sip of the mutton soup and said softly: " Chang'an Jun's ideas are wild and unconstrained, and he is not someone who is content with using one method of warfare for a long time."
"During this period, Chang'an Lord has repeated the same siege method day after day, which must be to paralyze our army."
"This general is very uneasy!"
Wei Qi looked Looking at the city wall covered with thick ice at his feet, he wanted to ask Pang Nuan, isn't Ying Chengyu waiting for work, waiting for Xiuyu City's defense to collapse on its own?
But before Wei Qi could ask, Zhao Huan had already galloped over on horseback and reported loudly: "General, all the slinging equipment of the Qin army outside the north and east city gates must be turned to the south and west gates. Outside the city gate!"
Pang Nuan suddenly became alert: "Are there any signs of Qin troops withdrawing outside the east and north city gates?"
Zhao Huan shook his head: "There is no change."
Pang Nuan said emphatically: "No change is the biggest change!"
In this battle of Xiuyu City, the Qin army's The main siege equipment is ladders and trebuchets, and even charging vehicles are rarely used.
Now that the slinging ordnance outside the east and north city gates has been moved away, why are the soldiers and horses not moved away?
How can an army attack a city without a trebuchet?
In Pang Nuan's view, there is only one answer. The Qin troops staying outside the east and north city gates are all deceptions!
Pang Nuan ordered repeatedly: "Pengcheng Lord, immediately organize the civilian men in the city to load all the baggage onto the car."
"Wake up all the soldiers, bury the pots to make rice, and prepare the whole army for a decisive battle. !”
As soon as the order was given, forty clay pots were thrown towards Xiuyu City.
The familiar smell of oil penetrated everyone's nostrils, and the Zhao and Wei coalition forces opened the sandbox to get the oil.
But before they could cover up 30% of the oil, the fire arrows had arrived, and another round of clay pots followed and fell on the city wall.
Pang Nuan became increasingly restless and shouted: "Mr. Pengcheng, what are you still doing?"
"Go and get ready!"
Wei Qi hurriedly handed over his hand: " Only!”
As rounds of oil and fire arrows were thrown into the battlefield, the frost coat of Xiuyu City was peeled off layer by layer, and water was dripping from the city gate.
"Don't be afraid of fire. The more afraid of death, the faster you will die! Sprinkle sand!"
"Water! Use water to wash the black oil outside the city, and let the flames burn the Qin army themselves!"
“Wait, why does it seem to be dark?”
A large shadow suddenly enveloped the top of Xiuyu City.
The soldiers of Zhao Wei looked up and saw more than a hundred boulders flying towards Xiuyu City.
Everyone opened their mouths in shock.
Every stone is so heavy, so thick, and so big!
Faced with twenty boulders at the same time, the walls of Xiuyu City were already moaning with running water.
Now the number of boulders coming at the same time has soared to more than 100. How can Xiuyu City resist?
It will break! ! !
Facing a pair of frightened eyes, the boulder came into contact with Xiuyu City at a negative distance.
Xiuyu City trembled and twitched!
The strong shock made Wei Qi almost fall.
Pang Nuan stretched out his strong hand, grabbed Wei Qi, and shouted angrily: "What are you doing standing still?"
"Go and prepare for battle!"
Almost everyone was shaken by the huge boulder thrown.
But these huge rocks confirmed Pang Nuan’s guess.
Once Ying Chengyu puts the trebuchet he has been hoarding for a long time into the battlefield, he must have something to appeal to.
Today must be the day when Ying Chengyu wants to fight decisively!
Kicked Wei Qi off the city wall, Pang Nuan shouted: "Order!"
"Open the west gate, and Zhao Huan's troops come out of the city to meet the enemy!"
"All the crossbowmen in the army are on the city wall, aiming at the Qin army's trebuchets, without hesitation of crossbow arrows, firing continuously!"
West City The gate opened, and Zhao Huan personally led his troops and horses to rush out of the city gate.
But just as he ran out of the city gate, huge rocks were thrown at Zhao Huan's troops.
“Get out of the way! Disperse your formation!”
"The place is too narrow and we can't spread out at all!"
"The crossbows of the Qin army are coming, raise your shields!"
The boulders worth twenty in each round only need to be smashed down in the direction of the city gate. It can always hit one or even several Zhao Wei coalition troops.
Three thousand Qin army crossbowmen stepped forward and fired arrows in the direction of the city gate.
The narrow city gate was originally used to prevent enemy troops from flooding into the city in large numbers.
But at this moment, this narrow city gate has become the death passage for the Zhao and Wei coalition forces!
Even if the Zhao and Wei coalition forces rushed out of the city gate, the first thing they had to face was not the Qin army.
But the oil and flames flowing down the city wall!
Zhao Huan's troops were blocked when they left the city to fight, and the defenders on the city wall kept wailing.
Finally, the ice coating on a section of the city wall was completely peeled off, and the city wall made of rammed earth could no longer withstand the continuous impact of boulders, and fell towards the city.
"Boom!!!" The city wall collided violently with the ground, and all the Zhao and Wei coalition forces standing on and under the city wall turned into minced meat!
Pang Nuan shouted loudly: "Push the gate knife cart!"
"Block the gap for me!"
"Add more Send five thousand infantry out of the city to threaten the Qin army's catapults!"
Pang Nuan gave full command and mobilized the resources in Xiuyu City to the limit.
However, when the strongest infantry in the world was paired with weapons that were 1,500 years old, the more Pang Nuan struggled, the more desperate he became.
The infantry leaving the city cannot threaten the Qin army's trebuchets.
No amount of water can wash away the flames.
Xiuyu City was like a weak woman facing more than a hundred strong men, and the thin frost gauze on her body was violently torn to pieces.
Even though she is proficient in all kinds of weapons, the gap in physique and strength makes all her counterattacks turn into gangsters' exciting meow punches, which are useless except for fun!
Under Pang Nuan’s unwilling gaze, more than half of the west city wall had collapsed.
Pang Nuan finally gave the order with difficulty: "The defenders get off the city wall!"
As soon as he ran down the city wall, Pang Nuan immediately saw Wei Qi running back.
"General Pang!" Wei Qi looked at the collapsed city wall and asked in a daze: "Can Xiuyu City not be defended?"
Pang Nuan nodded: "We can't defend it anymore."
"The city wall has fallen and the defense line has been lost."
"Rather than waste the lives of the soldiers defending the city, it is better to fight and retreat. , leaving more combatable soldiers."
Wei Qi sighed softly: "The general understands."
Strengthening his strength, Wei Qi bowed his hand and said: "The soldiers have already sent their orders. Break out from the east city gate!”
Pang Nuan smiled: "Very kind!"
"Even if Xiuyu City falls, I will definitely let Lord Changan bleed!"
Turn around, Pang Nuan gave the order in a deep voice: "Order! Crossbowmen are spreading outside the city, not sparing arrows!"
"Order! Chen Mao's troops enter the houses and wait for the general's order!"
>"Order! Zhao Lian's troops will form a square formation twenty feet behind the city wall to respond to the enemy!"
The Zhao Wei coalition forces quickly formed an ambush circle.
Pang Nuan looked at the west gate quietly, waiting for the Qin army to enter the city, and gave the Qin army a head-on attack when the Qin army was most excited!
However, what caught his eye was not the Qin soldiers rushing into the west city gate, but a continuous stream of stones!
“Boom!”
“Bang!”
The heavy stones no longer just fell on the city wall, but also fell on the houses and Zhao Wei coalition forces in the city!
"General, the house has collapsed, will our troops continue to ambush?"
"My leg was trapped by the beam, save me! Save me!"
"The enemy's flying rocks are coming, disperse!"
Each round of flying rocks will advance five feet.
Every few dozen breaths pass, the threat of death gets closer.
This feeling of waiting for death to be pronounced is despairing!
The shadow of the Qin army has not yet appeared, and the morale of the Zhao and Wei coalition forces has almost collapsed!
Pang Nuan clenched the reins with his right hand: "Chang'an Jun had already expected that Ben would ambush inside the west city gate?"
Every stone bullet requires craftsmen to spend time to make, to Not easy.
From Pang Nuan's point of view, if Ying Chengyu hadn't determined that Pang Nuan had definitely set up an ambush behind the west city gate, how could he have spent so many stone bullets hitting the city?
"I am incompetent, general!" Pang Nuan sighed and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order!"
"Come out from the east city gate."
"Target Daliang City!"
With the defensive line lost, the troops at a disadvantage, morale collapsed, and the ambush broken, Pang Nuan did not hesitate anymore, tightened the reins and ran towards the east gate.
But at this moment, the rumble of drums resounded across the battlefield.
"Wind!"
"Wind!"
"Strong wind!"
Roaring, Su Jiao took the lead and rushed into Xiuyu City.
Chang Bei waved around in front of him in vain, but Su Jiao found that there were no enemy troops around him at all.
Looking to the east along the main road, Su Jiao shouted angrily: "Pao Ze, the enemy wants to escape!"
With the shouts, the Qin army's anger level directly exploded.
Want to run?
If you run away, where will our glory and wealth come from!
The front troops of the Qin army burst out at the fastest speed and chased Pang Nuan's troops, shouting in unison:
"The enemy must stop leaving!"
Looking back at Qin behind him Jun, Wei Qi's eyes were a little dazed.
He flees, he chases, he cannot fly without wings.
This scene looks so familiar!
It turns out that even generals like General Pang are not the opponents of the Qin army?
The general's defeat to the Qin army does not seem so unacceptable.
"Pengcheng Lord?" Pang Nuan ordered in a deep voice: "Please Pengcheng Lord send another messenger and ask the Daliang City defenders to rescue our army!"
Wei Qi came to his senses and hurriedly Handed over: "Wei!"
After paying the lives of more than 20,000 soldiers and fleeing for a long day and night, Pang Nuan's troops finally reunited with Ninglingjun's troops who came to help, and quickly retreated into Daliang City.
After crossing the gate of Daliang City, Pang Nuan saw a familiar figure standing inside the gate looking at him from a distance.
Pang Nuan hurriedly dismounted, stepped forward and bowed his hands in greeting: "Foreign Minister Pang Nuan, pay your respects to King Wei!"
Wei Wangzeng looked at Pang Nuan with complicated eyes: "General Pang has indeed been defeated again. Ah.”
