Chapter 130 Guan Shouchang kills Pang Xiong with a warm drink
Early the next morning, Yu Huatian woke up from the general's tent and asked whether the enemy had left the city last night. After receiving a negative answer, he did not say much, but asked the soldiers to assemble after dinner and prepare to attack the city.
**Although the south side of the city had been cleared of land and fortified, there were not many trees there originally, but rather more farmland.
However, Yuhuatian learned about this situation in advance on the way here, so he ordered the baggage camp to cut down trees along the way and make ladders, camps and other items.
As for the stone bullets used in the catapults, they were collected locally, after all, there were mountains on both sides of the city.
After breakfast, under the command of Yu Huatian, the Kun Kingdom army marched forward in a mighty manner.
Prince Ning's army was on both wings.
Today is the first round of attack. Yu Huatian plans to use his elite troops to attack first and take it down in one go. If that fails, he will use King Ning’s army to consume the number of soldiers and supplies defending the city.
As for how many people died, it had nothing to do with him. They were all Yan people anyway.
One hundred thousand strong troops lined up in neat battle array outside the city, ready for battle.
The city wall is so small that neither side can send all their troops there at once, and they can't deploy them.
"What a magnificent military formation."
On the top of the city wall, Shen Changgong, dressed in military armor, looked at the ten densely packed square formations below and said with a chuckle.
There were many generals and captains around him, and many fire racks behind him, with basins filled with boiling kerosene.
There were also many arrows and other items placed beside the city wall.
At this moment, a horse suddenly came running in front of them, and on the horse sat a mighty and majestic general, waving a spear, pointing it at the city wall, and shouting,
"General Dakun Pang Xiong is here! Are there any weaklings from the State of Yan who dare to fight me to the death? You women are all eunuchs without penises. Come down quickly and fight me for three rounds!"
Grandpa can kill you in three rounds!
Shen Changgong, you damn bitch, get down here and fight to the death with Grandpa! "
Pang Xiong was shouting very loudly from below, and the generals and soldiers on the city wall all looked extremely ugly.
Mo Hei couldn't help it and said,
"Your Majesty, I beg to fight you. If I cannot win, I will bring my head to you!"
Zhang Yide also said,
"Your Highness, let me go. I can definitely chop him up. This guy's mouth stinks worse than mine. Let me kill him!"
However, Shen Changgong shook his head and said,
"Yuhuatian sent people out to challenge the generals, but he just wanted to kill a few of my generals to boost their morale. After all, the first day is particularly important.
This person's combat capability must be ranked among the top three in Kun's army. We still have to be careful and not give the other party any opportunity to take advantage.
I think that pie…"
"Thieves, please die!"
Before Shen Changgong could finish his words, the city gate below was opened and a man rushed out on horseback.
Seeing this scene, Shen Changgong's face suddenly darkened and he shouted,
"Who is this person? How dare he go into battle without following the general's orders?"
Li Wei on the side said quickly,
"Your Highness, this man is a captain of a thousand men under my command, named Zhan Ling. He was once a martial arts master, but some time ago he wanted to join the army to serve his country. Seeing his great martial arts skills, I challenged him to a duel, but even I was no match for him.
I will recruit him into my army and make him a captain of a thousand men, thinking of giving him a good training..."
"Then you didn't teach him the rules of the army? If everyone disobeys orders like him, how can we fight this war?"
"Yes, yes, when he comes back, I will punish him severely!"
"Severe punishment? If you disobey the general's orders during wartime, you will be killed without mercy!"
Li Wei looked at Shen Changgong cautiously and did not dare to plead again.
Shen Changgong did not look at him again, but said to Tu Que Ling,
"Send someone to warm up a pot of wine so we can cheer the generals on and celebrate their victory."
Zhan Ling was indeed a wanderer who learned martial arts. Because he accidentally killed someone in a fight in his hometown, he became a wanderer in the world to avoid being investigated by the government.
Later, he heard that the barracks were recruiting soldiers and that military merit could offset sins. Relying on the fact that no one in the capital knew him, he signed up to join the army, thinking that with his martial arts, he would surely be able to be promoted to a marquis and a general. Then, not to mention the crime of murder, even the county magistrate would have to kowtow to him when he returned home.
So, Zhan Ling, who had always been free and easy and had a great dream in his heart, thought that he should be the first to make a contribution, so he rushed out without asking for permission.
Zhan Ling came in front of Pang Xiong, drew out his usual sword, and shouted,
"I am Zhan Ling, the great general of the State of Yan! You rats, dismount and prepare to die!"
"Little boy, come and die! Go!"
Pang Xiong snorted coldly and rode his horse towards Zhan Ling.
Zhan Ling was not afraid at all and rushed forward as well.
The two sides fought back and forth fiercely, causing the two armies on and off the city walls to cheer and applaud.
Zhan Ling's martial arts skills are all street fighting tricks. They are okay in one-on-one duels and competitions, but when it comes to the battlefield, he pales in comparison to this brave general who has experienced hundreds of battles and killed countless people.
Gradually, Zhan Ling became exhausted and wanted to retreat to rest, but Pang Xiong seized his weakness and stabbed him through the heart with a spear, causing him to fall heavily off his horse.
"Good! Good!"
"General Pang is mighty!"
The morale of Kun's army was greatly boosted, and cheers resounded through the sky.
The Yan army on the city wall was dumbfounded. How could their own people lose so quickly? They died in just a few dozen rounds?
Pang Xiong laughed loudly and said,
"Shen Changgong! Send a man down here. Don't always send women like you. He can't even withstand one shot from my spear. The women in the brothel can withstand hundreds of shots!"
Shen Changgong's face was as gloomy as water. Zhan Ling's disobedience to the order seriously disrupted his plan.
Now he urgently needs a decisive victory to boost morale.
He took the wine bowl from Tu Que Ling, handed it to Guan Shou Chang, and said,
"General Guan, drink this bowl of wine, then go down and bring his head back to me."
Guan Shouchang clasped his hands and said,
"It's not too late to drink when you come back!"
After saying this, Guan Shouchang took his Qinglong sword and went down the city wall.
Suddenly, a thousand men rushed out from the city wall and headed straight for Pang Xiong.
On the top of the city wall, everyone was watching anxiously, hoping that this unknown General Guan could defeat his opponent and enhance the prestige of Great Yan.
Pang Xiong saw another person coming and sneered,
"Who are you? Grandpa won't kill nameless people with his sword!"
Guan Shouchang had an expressionless face and cold eyes. He walked straight towards Pang Xiong without saying a word.
Pang Xiong laughed in anger and shouted,
"What a shameless Northeastern barbarian!"
After saying this, he swung his spear and charged towards the other party.
Before Guan Shouchang arrived, he raised the Qinglong sword in his hand high and chopped it down.
