The only honor of the water cut off

Five sections

Xinxiang is located in the plains at the foot of the Taihang Mountains, and the endless pastures are most suitable for riding and fighting.At the military deployment meeting, Pang Tong said that he would lead five thousand cavalry to fight against the northern army. Yang Zhiyong and Zhou Jinxiao secretly exchanged glances, contemptuous of the legendary General Zhenyuan.

Liao Zeyong has led the army in the north for many years, and the abundant water and grass in the north is the best place for military horses. The horses and cavalry of the Northern Army are far superior to the Pang's army not only in quantity but also in quality.Not to mention that Liao Ze used nearly 20 cavalry in his [-] army, even if he used [-] cavalry against [-], Pang Tong's chances of winning were pitifully small.

However, the Generals of the East and the South had to show affection for Pang Tong, the titular commander-in-chief: "I heard that General Pang is brave and good at fighting, but these five thousand cavalry are fighting against the enemy head-on, I'm afraid?"

Zhou Jinxiao didn't finish his sentence, but just stretched out the ending.Pang Tongtong smiled: "Of course it's not enough, we need the help of the two generals."

The first battle between the two armies took place on the north bank of the Wei River, [-] miles north of Xinxiang.

Pang commanded [-] cavalry as the vanguard to confront the northern army head-on.The Northern Army has the best cavalry equipment in the Song Dynasty and is naturally not afraid of the incoming enemy, but because the incoming enemy will be Pang Tong, they send Liao Ze to fight against it with the number one general under his command.

Liao Zeyong stood on the outskirts of the battlefield, wielding a big knife with nine rings, and his temple hair was hidden in the helmet. If it weren't for the graying of his man and eyebrows, it would be impossible to tell from his radiant face that he was already in his sixtieth year. .He squinted his eyes and concentrated on watching the extremely brave young general in the battle circle dodging from left to right, not to mention that ordinary cavalry couldn't get close to him, and even the deputy commander of Deran would be dangerous if he fought against him.

Soon Liao Zeyong discovered a phenomenon worth pondering. Pang Tong always rode his horse forward, and the officers and soldiers who supported him sometimes followed up, sometimes not.When the auxiliary soldiers followed up, they killed ghosts and wolves howling. When they did not enter, there were only a few Feiyun cavalry beside Pang Tong.Ever since, he saw Pang Tong reining in his horse from a distance, his eyes wide open, his expression ferocious, as if he was roaring at his own army, and the power of his killer moves increased instead of diminished.

Liao Zeyong nodded secretly, he was usually only seen in the court, and his name was mostly rumored, but now he has seen it in person, he is indeed a great fighter.It's just, hmph, Liao Zeyong snorted disdainfully, a titan is a titan, a child with a yellow mouth, only brave but foolhardy.

Everyone in the world knows that the Pang family army is composed of three forces. The southern army is the most powerful and the eastern army is slightly inferior. The remaining tens of thousands of people are the Pang family's own soldiers. With a sincere heart to the Pang family, there is no reason for these hundreds of thousands of troops not to run in.

Pang Tong has been in the army for more than ten years, how can he not understand the importance of uniformity in the army, whether it is rumors or rumors, he naturally has his reasons for rushing into the army, and Liao Zeyong also has the right to speculate and focus on weaknesses.

Taking advantage of the fact that Pang Tong was alone, Deputy Dutong stabbed a spear obliquely among the chaotic army, breaking the armor on Pang Tong's arm, and the tip of the spear even made a three-inch hole in his left arm. Turned out, blood flowed.

The pain from his arm provoked Pang Tong to kill more and more fiercely, and the hot blood would stain his eyes red and take away the body temperature.Mo Lan and Mo Ping, who were guarding the right wing, saw that Pang Tong was injured, and they didn't care about other things. They rode their horses and led a few Feiyun riders to fight a bloody path, protecting Pang Tong and retreating. retreat.Seeing that the commander had retreated, the rest of the soldiers threw away their helmets and armor and fled in all directions.

Liao Ze made a smile with the corner of his mouth. He lifted a big knife weighing more than 20 catties with one hand, and the tip of the knife was facing the sky. Thousands of women are in the tent.

"Nuo Chi, Fang Qi, you and the two of you will each take five thousand Qingqi points to outflank Pang Tong from both sides. Remember to be quick." All the subordinates who have followed Liao Zeyong for many years know that the chief general's nine-ringed black iron saber Once pointing to the sky, it is the order to fight.

Nuo Chi hurriedly stepped forward to kowtow to accept the order, but Fang Qi knelt on one knee with a hesitant expression. "General, Pang Tong's move is strange, I'm afraid it's fraudulent!"

Liao Ze raised his head and took a deep breath. The blood on the battlefield was blown to his face by the wind. He pointed to the navy blue mountains that intersected with the sky in the far distance. "Fang Qi, let me ask you, if Pang thief escapes into Taihang, what should we do?"

Fang Qi frowned and glanced at the direction of Liao Ze's finger. It is too dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Pang Tong is good at using terrain. If the ether is used as a basis, I am afraid it will be a protracted battle.

"If Pang thief is allowed to flee this time, I'm afraid there will be many variables between him and Yang thief and Zhou thief. I don't know the pros and cons, so I will have more doubts. If I can kill the thief leader in one fell swoop, the old man will teach him that 25 soldiers and horses will not be defeated. Fight and lose, hahaha."

Fang Qi didn't dare to say any more, so he had to kowtow to accept his orders.

Five thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry in the central army of the northern army chased the Pang family soldiers and horses. Nuo Chi led five thousand light cavalry to block the right wing, and Fang Qi led five thousand light cavalry to block the left wing. Encirclement trend.

The lightly loaded war horses are as fast as lightning, and the flesh and blood are mixed with grass mud under the horses' hooves. The waste fell to the dust, and was crushed into a meat paste by the army's iron hooves.

Nuo Chi rode fast on the wind, with the sound of the wind roaring in his ears, and the sword in his hand did not miss anything. It was the time when he was proud of his slaying. Seeing that he was about to catch up with Pang Tong and the others, he suddenly felt that the leader of the thief was right in front of him. Why don't you want to make a detour at your fingertips, and then turn the horse's head to kill Pang Tong.

For a while, the right-wing army and the central army merged together, and the two generals Deran and Nuochi were staring at Pang Tong's head with red eyes. Chi couldn't stand the sudden twisting and falling of his sturdy war horse like a maniac, and was thrown into the air, and a sharp arrow swished towards him, accurately piercing through his chest.

Nuo Chi was still alive when he fell to the ground, the arrow shaft was stuck on the ground so that he could only half-kneel, the sand rolled into his eyes, he couldn't see anything except blood red and pain, he could only feel the mud under his knees There was a vigorous rhythm hidden in it, like the pulse of some kind of creature, and suddenly a wrist-thick rope jumped out of the soil layer, with countless huge sharp barbs hanging from it.

This is?stumbling!

A large piece of flat land was suddenly shredded by hundreds of tripping ropes that broke through the ground. The galloping horse fell to the ground unexpectedly, its bones broke out, and the horse's belly was pierced by barbs. The beasts trampled around, the cavalry was chaotic, rushing forward and backward, the scene like Shura's hell, there was really nothing to do, no matter whether it was an officer or a soldier, they all died, and many people suddenly appeared on both sides The officers and soldiers with huge characters written on their chests stabbed randomly with long guns with extended handles, keeping no fish slipping through the net.

The first battle, Jie.

Pang's army lost [-] northern cavalry, [-] infantry, [-] prisoners, and gained more than [-] horses.There are eight hundred self-inflicted cavalry and one thousand infantry.

Not only a victory, but a complete victory.

The morale of the Pang family's army was greatly boosted, and there were rumors among the army regardless of each other. The words that came out after 25 people circulated had already changed beyond recognition. Knowing the past and knowing the future, the ability to turn clouds and rain.

"Pang Tong's claim of General Flying Star is true. Before he went to battle, he observed the stars day and night. The blue dragon overwhelmed the white tiger, and the horned wood dragon fought the tailed fire tiger. Therefore, it was considered that the battle was beneficial to the dwarf bushland on the north bank of the Wei River."

At the celebration banquet, Zhou Jinxiao had to exchange cups with Pang Tong Feiyunqi. After a few rounds, he felt a little dizzy. After walking a few steps casually, he heard his soldiers holding wine bowls and saying this.

"Wait till you know what is the crime of disturbing the morale of the general by discussing the general?" Zhou Jinxiao's cold voice sounded from behind a few soldiers, and they were so frightened that they picked up chicken legs and smashed their wine bowls.

"General, spare your life, general, spare your life, brothers are too drunk and talking nonsense!"

"Is it child's play for you to treat military regulations? Thirty army sticks are indispensable!"

"General Zhou." Zhou Jinxiao was on fire spontaneously, but when he heard someone calling him, his voice was calm and magnetic, and he knew it was Pang Tong without looking back.

Zhou Jinxiao had no choice but to salute him and said, "General, the Eastern Army's lax military training makes you laugh." Pang Tong's victory in the first battle gave himself, the titular commander-in-chief, some substantial content. No matter what he thought, he also respected him a lot on the surface.

"It doesn't matter." Pang Tong said with a smile: "They are all bloody men, it's rare that everyone is so happy, I think General Zhou will spare a few brothers!"

Zhou Jinxiao groaned in his heart, "You can't come here to be good and I'll make trouble for you." He squinted his eyes and looked at the soldiers: "Since General Pang Pang pleaded for mercy, he will spare thirty military sticks. If he commits the crime again, he will definitely be executed!"

A few soldiers left gratefully, and Pang Tong went straight forward a few steps, walked into the crowd of soldiers, raised his eyes, raised his wine bowl, and said in a loud voice: "The victory of Weihe is definitely not the work of Pang Tong. If General Zhou and General Yang hadn’t placed Ma Suo in an ambush, I, Pang Tong, would definitely be under the enemy’s back; if there were no soldiers to fight against the enemy with one heart, I, Pang Tong, would have died without a place of burial even if I had unrivaled martial arts.

After Pang Tong finished speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine, and turned the empty wine bowl upside down. Seeing him like this, all the soldiers responded one after another, drank the wine in the bowl, and shouted loudly.

Pang Tong patted his chest, and continued: "Those who followed me through life and death are all brothers. Brothers, I have no other specialties. Fortunately, my father, Mrs. Pang, has been running the business all his life, and there are still a few copper coins at home. Today, I am happy, and all There are ten taels of silver for each soldier, and one hundred taels for generals and above. Xinxiang has my Pang family bank account, and the snowflake silver cashed in cash, I, Pang Tong, will never treat my brothers badly."

Pang Tong's steady voice was transmitted far away from his deep inner strength. Everyone in the huge military camp could hear every word he said clearly.After a moment of sluggish silence, cheers erupted in the Pang family army camp. Zhou Jinxiao snorted coldly when he heard this, and looked at his Dongfang army with a cold face, with a happy and joyful look on his face. guy.It is true that the Pang family is as rich as an enemy country, and buying people's hearts can get twice the result with half the effort.

Pang Tong waited for everyone to be quieter, and said with a smile: "What are these? I'm begging for a beauty!" These brutish men burst into laughter.

"If you want a beauty, it's a little more troublesome, but I'm Pang Tong as a matchmaker, who would dare to refuse?" Pang Tong said frivolously, laughing with his hands behind his back, and suddenly his eyes narrowed, and then said: "It's just." Pang Tong didn't reveal it Waving his hands behind him, Mo Lan and Mo Ping each came forward with a bunch of soldiers, and threw them on the ground.The little soldier's eyes were covered with cloth strips, so he couldn't see anything. He just kowtowed and shouted: "General, please forgive me!"

Pang Tong said loudly: "Mo Xian, the first article of the military law, what should be done with those who flee before the battle?"

"Back to the general, cut!"

The camp of 10,000+ people was silent for a moment. Pang Tong picked up a machete beside the fire and slashed down. Five heads and blood splashed on the outsiders ten steps away. Mo Lan and Mo Ping followed him closely. The action raised the knife and dropped it, resulting in the lives of the remaining few people.

"Under Pang Tong's command, deserters are not tolerated. If there are ten, ten will be killed. If there are hundreds, hundreds will be killed. It is absolutely unambiguous." , dropped the machete, picked up the wine bowl and drank another bowl, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's continue drinking."

--------------

A noisy banquet would end without knowing when, and the absolute protagonist quietly left the scene.Mo Xian was ordered to go to Yangwu to transport food and grass, and he should be able to return at noon tomorrow, while Mo Yi's whereabouts have been unknown. Pang Tong sat on the couch, stroking the cotton sheets, as if he was stroking something extremely precious, and his mind Some things and some memories flashed through, and he sighed softly.

The door was opened a crack, Feiyan stood by the door with her head tilted.Seeing her, Pang Tong smiled lightly and said, "What are you doing?" Feiyan pushed open the door with her elbow, holding a plate containing cotton gauze and a blue and white porcelain vase in her hand, and placed it heavily on the table, saying: " Let me see, when will my elder brother finish his important work and change his medicine or something when he has time."

Pang Tong looked at her and smiled, Feiyan was finally not as sad as she was when she just came back, and Pang Tong's younger sister was a little domineering and charming.

"Then there will be Miss Lao Pang Da." Pang Tong quickly untied his coat, revealing his injured left arm: "It doesn't matter a little injury."

The Pang family's Jinchuang medicine is naturally excellent, and Pang Tong's strong healing ability is also eye-catching. Feiyan can't help but marvel at the fact that the wound that was stitched with needles has closed up after removing the gauze cotton.

"What's the matter!" Pang Tong laughed, "It's only a few inches long wound, and it didn't hurt any muscles or bones, so it will be healed after the needle is applied."

Still reluctantly, Fei Yan dipped the cotton wool with shochu to gently wipe off the fluid seeping from the wound, and then applied the Jinchuang medicine on the cotton wool, wrapping it tightly around Pang Tong.The wound that had been carefully treated was cool and tingling, and Pang Tong unconsciously twisted his body. This ordinary movement made him frown.

"Second brother, is the wound on your waist still hurting?" Feiyan saw the change in his expression, and while she was sorting the bloody thing she replaced, she said casually: "It's really strange, the wound on your shoulder lasted two days. The granulation has grown, why does the injury on the waist still hurt from time to time after more than 20 days?"

What Feiyan was referring to was that when Pang Tong broke into the palace and protected Pang Feiyan from fleeing, he was injured by the sleeve arrow shot by Yao Jiuyi. At first, he only felt a coldness in his waist, but after checking, it turned out to be a deep and long wound .

"Why don't you put some medicine on your waist too?" Feiyan dangled the small porcelain bottle in front of Pang Tong's eyes. Yes, how can you be so delicate and expensive?"

"Hehe, brother naturally can't be delicate and expensive, but ah, you have to find a delicate and expensive sister-in-law for Feiyan, so that you can't be beaten or scolded, so that you can discipline your too casual personality."

Delicate and expensive sister-in-law?A person flashed in Pang Tong's mind, and he couldn't help laughing. Let him know this statement, and probably killed him on the spot.

"Okay, I have to go to bed, you go too, lest daddy worry."

Feiyan made a grimace, closed the door and left, Pang Tong was lying on the couch with his clothes on, recalling Feiyan's unintentional words just now, which made Pang Tong suspicious, yes, the injury on his waist has been more than [-] days old , how could it have been bad?
