Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 255: Pang Lingming carries the coffin to break through, Xing Daorong bravely fights Xu Chu

The Rong people rebelled, Liangzhou was in chaos, and Tianshui was completely lost!

After Xing Daorong got the news about Jiang Jiong, he immediately knew that something was wrong.

He urgently called Ma Chao and Pang De to discuss the matter.

Pang De heard this and said anxiously, "I don't know how long it will take for the lord to get the message. If Tianshui is lost, we only have one pass and we can't hold out for more than a few months."

Ma Chao also knew that the situation was critical, and hurriedly said: "We can't just sit there and wait for death, we'd better charge out!"

Xing Daorong was very clear in his mind.

The chaos in Liang Province was probably planned by Cao Cao when he withdrew from Xiliang and returned to Chang'an.

Today, they took the opportunity to send the Cui family here to launch the attack. It was all planned by each of them.

With this arrangement, it would be impossible for me to break through easily.

Besides...

Even if the breakout is successful, Dasan Pass is released, and Tianshui is no longer needed, wouldn't all the previous efforts be wasted and we have to go to Qishan again?
Xing Daorong didn't want to launch northern expeditions year after year like Zhuge Liang.

He immediately said to the two men: "We must not abandon this level. If we abandon it, all the previous sacrifices will be in vain."

"As long as Dasan Pass is not lost, when the lord launches a counterattack, it will be twice as effective with half the effort and we can recover the lost territory."

"Cao's army is surrounding us but not attacking us, which means they are just trying to lure us out."

After hearing what Xing Daorong said in an orderly manner, the two of them felt certain.

Although it is easy to guard a pass, once it becomes an isolated pass, it will be more troublesome than an isolated city.

Once the food is eaten up, even the people's stored food will not be available, and there will definitely be changes in the army.

Pang De was still a little worried at the moment and said, "If the supply from the rear is cut off, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for long."

"Why not send a group of soldiers to break out and go to Liangzhou for rescue?"

"After all, with such a great pass, there is no difference between 10,000 and 5,000 people guarding it."

Pound's suggestion is a good one.

There are several advantages to splitting up your forces to break out.

First, there are fewer people to eat inside the Great Wall, so the food supply can last longer.

Secondly, if someone breaks out, the soldiers left behind in Guanzhong will be more confident in facing the enemy, and will have hope in times of crisis.

Thirdly, when breaking out, the Cui family can be taken with them, so that if the pass is really breached and people are killed, the Cui family will not be buried with them.

only…

Who should be chosen to break through?
Xing Daorong made a plan and said, "I will stay here to guard the place. How about asking Mengqi and Lingming to go with me to break out of the siege?"

Pang De was stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly said: "If the general can trust me, let me go alone to break out of the siege!"

"I will either die in Liangzhou, or I will summon reinforcements!"

Pang De is a man of his word, so Xing Daorong naturally trusts him.

He immediately said, "Okay! Lingming, you go. Whether we can turn the tide depends entirely on you."

"Just take the Cui family with you when you leave. Don't let them die here."

Pang De bowed and said, "Don't worry, General. I will escort Lord Cui to safety even if I die."

After the matter was settled, Xing Daorong immediately decided to ask Pang De to break out the next day.

...

The next morning, Xing Daorong saw that the troops were deployed everywhere and prepared to act according to the plan.

Unexpectedly, Pang De, in order to show his determination to fight to the death, directly carried out a coffin.

Carry the coffin to the decisive battle!

This is really Pound's style.

But this thing is somewhat unlucky.

After Pang De carried the coffin to the decisive battle, he was really dead!

Xing Daorong didn't want Pang De to make the same mistake again. He looked at him without saying much, just patted Pang De and said, "Be careful, remember we are still waiting for Ling Ming to come back to fight."

Pang De shouted, "Don't worry, General! I will live up to your expectations!"

Having agreed upon this, Xing Daorong finally began to escort Pang De to break out.

...

When the door opened, they saw Cao's soldiers in front ready for battle.

Just then the sound of a gong was heard, and a group of soldiers and horses came out from the middle of the formation, and the first one blocked their way.

The general was wearing a helmet and armor, holding a long sword in his hand, and a large flag behind him. On the flag were four golden characters that read: "Tiger Marquis Xu Chu".

As early as after the Battle of Guandu, Xu Chu was awarded the title of Guannei Hou for his many meritorious services.

Because he was as strong as a tiger but not smart, the army called him "Tiger Fool", so people at that time called him "Tiger Marquis".

At this moment, Xu Chu reined in his warhorse, stopped the main road and shouted, "Xing Daorong, since you have left the city, why don't you dismount and be tied up as soon as possible? When are you going to do that?"

Xing Daorong stopped his horse and laughed, "Bottles and jars also have two ears, but you, Xu Chu, have only two ears!"

"Since ancient times, only treacherous ministers and rebels have surrendered. Have you ever heard of a loyal and good person surrendering?"

Xu Chu was furious and shouted, "If you don't surrender, you will die quickly!"

Xing Daorong was furious when he heard this and cursed: "How dare you, you traitorous bandit, insult me!"

He rode his horse and held his axe, heading straight for Xu Chu, who also came to meet him with his sword.

Xing Daorong took the lead as usual, his long axe cutting through the air with a sharp whistling sound, and went straight towards Xu Chu.

He was agile and had exquisite axe skills. Every move and every style contained tremendous force. He wielded the axe as fast as a spear, trying to suppress his opponent with speed and skill.

However, Xu Chu stood still like a mountain, waiting for Xing Daorong to get close. Suddenly, he roared like a tiger and swung the golden tiger-head knife in his hand violently, bringing up a gust of wind, which collided violently with Xing Daorong's long axe. The sound of metal clashing was deafening, and stirred up circles of air waves.

The two men were equally strong, and it was difficult to tell who was better for a moment.

Xing Daorong's axe skills became more and more fierce, like a god descending from heaven, flying up and down, trying to find Xu Chu's flaws; while Xu Chu relied on his supernatural power to strike steadily and press forward step by step, and every blow made Xing Daorong's arms numb.

The two generals fought for thirty rounds, but there was no clear winner.

Xing Daorong knew that he could not defeat Xu Chu, so he shouted, "Rest a little and then fight again."

Then they returned to their own camps.

Xing Daorong returned to the battlefield and ordered his troops not to fight any longer but to charge forward.

Xing Daorong was in front, Ma Chao was behind, and Pang De was in the middle. They shouted and charged forward.

There were strong soldiers in Dasan Pass. Xing Daorong charged and killed his way through the blocking troops.

Xu Chu led his troops in pursuit, and when they were about to pass the woods, another group of soldiers and horses rushed out in front of them.

The general in the lead, Xiahou Dun, shouted from his horse: "Don't run!"

Immediately, bows and crossbows fired at it at the same time.

When Xing Daorong was trying to hide, he felt an arrow hit the top of his helmet.

Knowing that Xiahou Dun was really going to kill him, he quickly dismounted and rode away, leaving a way for Pang De.

Xiahou Dun came from behind and was about to catch up when he saw a group of soldiers rushing over from the side.

It was Ma Chao who came and intercepted Xiahou Dun.

Although Xiahou Dun was angry, he was no match for Ma Chao and could only return home in frustration.

Xing Daorong brought Pang De with him, but he did not dare to send him too far, for fear that Xu Chu would take the opportunity to attack.

Fortunately, Xu Chu didn't seem to have such thoughts. When he returned to the pass to see the general guarding the pass, he heard him say that nothing had happened, and he immediately knew what was going on.

In fact, Xu Chu didn't want to leave. Being trapped in Dasan Pass was what he hoped for.

It's good to seize the level, but if it can kill me...

For Cao Cao, this is a really good thing!
