The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 499 Killing General ([-])
After Guan Xing personally took off Ma Zhong's head, he knew that now was not the time to be overly happy.After all, his revenge for killing his father is actually only a third of it now, and now it's time to go to the other party, Pan Zhang.

Guan Xing wrapped Ma Zhong's hair around a newly cut ten-foot-high wooden pole, and hung it high.

Guan Xing mobilized Hongxue, picked up Ma Zhong's head, and ran back towards the north gate of Jingling City.But at this time, Hongxue's running speed didn't have to be as fast as when Ma Zhong was chasing her.

At that time, Guan Xing deliberately slowed down Hongxue's speed so that Ma Zhong could catch up with him.Now Hongxue was really running at full speed, like a sharp red arrow, a cloud of dust kicked up behind her.

Hongxue actually ran the distance of eight or nine miles in just over a quarter of an hour.

At this time, the fighting at the North Gate has not stopped, and the armies of both sides are still fighting fiercely.

Guan Xing didn't charge over immediately.He calmly stopped Hongxue, his piercing eyes swept over the battlefield.He found that his own army still had the upper hand, and his departure did not affect the command of the army too much, so he was relieved.

Finally, Guan Xing's gaze rested on Pan Zhang.At this time, Pan Zhang was brandishing a big knife in his hand, charging arrogantly in the army formation and shouting loudly!

Guan Xing's murderous intent came back again, if he could kill two enemies in one fell swoop today, that would definitely be the best thing.Once the enemy army in the city loses its main general, it will inevitably disintegrate by itself, and there is no need to bother to attack.

Guan Xing picked up his big sword, held Ma Zhong's head high in one hand, and suddenly rushed into the army from the side.

Hongxue's speed was extremely fast, passing by like a red whirlwind, it was simply unbelievably fast.But Guan Xing didn't kill the enemy troops where he passed, because his target was Pan Zhang, so he rushed towards him!
But the wooden pole in Guan Xing's hand was too conspicuous, and soon someone found Ma Zhong's head hanging on it.

"Horse, General Ma's head..."

Among Pan Zhang's army, people shouted loudly.The reason why they were able to fight Guan Xing's army almost evenly with their inferior force was because they believed that Ma Zhong would bring back Guan Xing's head.At that time, they will win this battle.

However, what is waiting now is a result completely contrary to their expectations!Pan Zhang's army suddenly caused a commotion.

Pan Zhang also heard the commotion of the soldiers, and immediately turned to look at Guan Xing.Ma Zhong's head was hung high on a wooden pole by Guan Xing, his eyes were wide open, but he was dying!

Pan Zhang was terrified, so he had no intention of continuing to fight.He immediately ordered the army to retreat quickly.

Seeing Pan Zhang running so fast, Guan Xing felt angry and impatient, and couldn't help shouting: "Pan Zhang, you bastard, if you have the guts, stay and fight this general again!"

Pan Zhang indeed heard Guan Xing's cry.But he didn't even turn his head, and ran back to the city pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Guan Xing was so angry that he actually held Ma Zhong's head and ran around under Jingling City.The tragic image of Ma Zhong's head was clearly seen by the enemy troops on the city.They were all obviously astonished, they all forgot to shoot arrows at Guan Xing!

On that day, Guan Xing withdrew his troops and stopped fighting, preparing to fight again tomorrow.

The next day, the weather was fine and the sky was so clear that there were no clouds.

Dust rose under the feet of Guan Xing's soldiers, like a mist under the city. In fact, the sun has risen so high that it is impossible for mist to appear.

Guan Xing raised his head to look at the sun in the sky, the sun was a little dazzling, making him feel a little hot - summer is almost here.

The not-so-large city wall of Jingling City in front of it still looks quite towering on the plain.The sunlight came from the east, casting a slanting black shadow on the ground opposite the army formation.

The enemy army at the head of the city was constantly running, preparing to face the attack of Guan Xing's army.

Guan Xing shouted to the herald officer: "Send the order and start attacking the city!"

After the order was issued, Guan Xingjun's leading five-hundred-sword poker players lined up in two rows in depth, and the distance between each soldier was strictly limited to two meters.This was a fixed distance drawn by Shizi when he was fighting in Nanyang County, and now Guan Xingjun is using it now.

Then, after the military array is deployed in this way, the cross section will be a full 500 meters long, which is completely comparable to the length of the north wall of Jingling City.

All the sword players walked in the front with their hexagonal shields high, covering the [-] pawns behind them carrying ladders.Their army formation, under the order of the commander, approached Jingling City step by step.

At the same time, the other three troops of Guan Xingjun in the east, west, and south also launched an attack on Jingling City at the same time.

Under the arrows of Pan Zhangjun's arrows, five hundred swordsman and poker players gradually approached the city wall, and they didn't lose many people.

At this time, the ladder was put on the top of the city.The sword players began to charge towards the city with their shields up.

Pan Zhang's army used thunder stones and rolled logs to defend.The fighting was extremely brutal.

Guan Xing saw that the sword player's losses were increasing, and he ordered all the archers in the army to come forward to support the sword player's attack.

Guan Xingjun's archers began to counterattack Pan Zhang's army on the city, which greatly relieved the pressure on the siege troops.

However, because this was the first storm launched by Guan Xingjun, Pan Zhangjun's physical strength and fighting will were relatively strong.After the two sides fought for a day, both sides lost at least 300 people.When it was dark, Guan Xing called for gold again to withdraw his troops.

For the next three consecutive days, Guan Xingjun besieged Jingling City on all sides every day.In fact, most people who are well versed in the art of war know that the siege of a city requires the method of encircling three ques and one.Because of the siege on all sides, the enemy army in the city has no retreat, which will inevitably arouse their desire to fight to the death.Judging from the situation in the past four days, when Pan Zhang's army was fighting, the soldiers really rarely fled.

At the same time, Wangtao Village in the mountains north of Jingling City blocked the reinforcements sent by Jiangling City.Meng Xi was even more remarkable. He did not defend passively, but took the initiative to attack.His troops defeated the enemy reinforcements coming from the Long Lake in one fell swoop, and captured twenty warships!

On the fourth day, Guan Xing saw that the siege had been delayed for too long, and it seemed that he had to accept the strategy of encircling three ques and one.Therefore, Bao Sanniang, who was mainly attacking the south of Jiangling City, withdrew his army to the north of Jiangling City, and joined forces with Guan Xing's troops.As a result, Guan Xing's troops exceeded 3000 people.

Seeing that Guan Xing had to accept the reality and finally left a breakthrough for himself in order to break the city, Pan Zhang was overjoyed.

But Pan Zhang is no ordinary idiot.With his rich military career, he still has some doubts about Guan Xing's arrangement.Therefore, he stayed in the city for another two days, and after seeing that Guan Xing's army was really still attacking from the north, and that the troops in the army did not suddenly disappear, he finally felt at ease.

Because, Pan Zhang is really ready to run for his life!
It was late at night, and the battles on three sides of Jiangling City were still going on.Recently, in order to take Jiangling City as soon as possible, Guan Xing ordered the entire army to attack the city overnight.

When Pan Zhang saw such a situation, he knew that Guan Xing, a young man, was getting restless.This is also one of the reasons why he dared to run away.

Therefore, Pan Zhang took advantage of the dark moon and high winds to leave behind the more than 2000 soldiers who were still fighting bloody battles in various parts of the city, and he took [-] guards with him, half of them on horseback and the other half on foot. He opened the south city gate and left the city.

Pan Zhang is an absolutely selfish person. He did this clearly to take advantage of the 2000 soldiers of the Wu army who were still fighting bloody battles, to hold Guan Xing back for him!When they found out that Pan Zhang had abandoned them and ran for his life tomorrow morning, that was when the city was broken.

At that time, will Guan Xing choose to massacre the city like Cao Cao in order to avenge his father?Pan Zhang knew that this was not impossible.

However, for his own sake, Pan Zhang resolutely chose to run for his life!

Pan Zhang's guard captain couldn't help turning his head to look at Jiangling City behind him. The southern city wall had been swallowed up by darkness, and the outline of the city wall could not be seen at all.There are only a few fires burning fiercely under the city, which look like a few stars that have fallen to the ground but are still shining.

Anger and disgust flashed in the eyes of the captain of the guard, and he looked at Pan Zhang, who was being protected by 140 nine members.A very unfaithful thought suddenly came to his mind: If he was given a chance now, maybe he would really dare to cut off the head of that bastard Pan Zhang with a single sword!

The hand of the captain of the guard slowly touched the hilt of his saber, his fingers clenched tightly, but he didn't make a move after all.

Pan Zhang's team quickly circled to the east bank of the Changhu Lake, which was far away from Meng Xi's army.

There are no people around here, except for the reeds that have become lush due to the warmer weather, there are still only reeds.The rustling sound of reed leaves is like spring silkworms eating mulberry leaves at night.It's just that its sound must be much higher.

Pan Zhang finally let out a long breath of relief.Now they only need to rush forward in the southeast direction, and it won't be long before Soochow's navy on the Changhu Lake can find their whereabouts and pick them up.

Suddenly, there was a rush of clappers around Pan Zhangjun.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack..."

Someone in Pan Zhang's guard shouted loudly.Although their voices were full of fear, they all tightly protected Pan Zhang.The loyalty of the members of the guard team is indeed beyond comparison with ordinary soldiers!
Just when the guards thought that the enemy army would rush over, countless dots suddenly appeared in the sky.

The guard captain was the first to react and shouted: "Rocket, the enemy is setting fire!"

With a whoosh, all around the reeds were on fire.The burning flames quickly surrounded Pan Zhang's guards.Surrounded by soaring walls of fire, they have nowhere to escape!
Guan Xing rode out and looked coldly at the raging fire in front of him.

His ears were filled with the crackling sound of the reeds burning, as if countless beads fell on the copper plate.He suddenly had an illusion that Pan Zhang was burned up in the sea of ​​flames and screamed wildly.

It was right to be happy, but Guan Xing suddenly burst into tears.

Meng Xi understood Guan Xing's current mood, stepped forward and said softly: "General Guan, I will leave this place for the future, you should go back first."

Guan Xing nodded and left, leaving a sea of ​​flames behind him.
