Chapter 467: Great results
Wei Yan's army's retreat and return completely caught Pang De's army by surprise.
In addition, Wei Yan no longer concealed his talent of "surprise attack" at this time, and led the soldiers himself. The morale of the soldiers soared, and their fighting power increased sharply. They broke through the camp of Pang De's army with overwhelming momentum.
Wei Yan knew very well that the opportunity to fight was fleeting, and his eyes were firm, without any intention of fighting or staying.
After a fierce charge, he quickly made deployments, leaving behind some agile soldiers and ordering them to set fires everywhere in the camp to create chaos.
He personally led hundreds of elite soldiers and rushed towards the direction where Pang De left like a sharp dagger.
At the same time, around Pang De's camp, the soldiers of Wei Yan's army who were hiding in the darkness began to shout and scream at the top of their lungs.
Their voices traveled far in the silent night, blending with the chaotic fires everywhere, making the soldiers of Pound's army feel as if they were in a sea of enemy formations.
I felt that there were enemies on all sides and I was surrounded. Fear spread in my heart like a tide.
Pang De had just hurried to the north side of the camp, and the peaceful scene before him made his heart sink suddenly.
He keenly realized that he might have fallen into Wei Yan's trap.
"General, we have found traces of the enemy in the east. It seems that there are quite a few of them!"
"General, a large number of enemies are coming from the northeast!"
Listening to these disorganized and contradictory information, Pound frowned, his uneasiness grew stronger, and his heart sank to the bottom.
At this moment, he wished very much that he could have Tian Ze's talent.
Unfortunately, in order to ensure the capture of Chengdu, Tian Ze's talent had been assigned to Zhang He, who was currently clearing out those treacherous people around Chengdu.
Countless fires lit up in the camp, making Pang De's army panic.
Pound knew very well that there were definitely not many enemies, but in this chaotic situation, knowing this fact could not change the current critical situation.
He looked towards the north where he had just arrived, and saw that the ships were full of straw men. The so-called large number of attacking troops were nothing more than dozens of archers bluffing. When they saw them coming, these archers immediately slipped away.
"kill!"
At this time, Wei Yan had already killed his way through the camp and was attacking towards Pang De, meeting Pang De who was coming back for support.
The two sides immediately engaged in an extremely brutal battle. This time, Wei Yan's army gained an absolute advantage with their high morale.
Only a few of Pang De's personal guards were able to remain calm and hold their ground. The rest of the soldiers had already been completely enveloped by fear and fell into panic. They could not hold their weapons tightly and could not exert any fighting power at all.
The soldiers of both sides engaged in close combat, with swords flashing and sabers flying. Shouts and screams intertwined and echoed throughout the camp.
Wei Yan and Pang De met on a narrow road. When their eyes met, they saw strong murderous intent in each other's eyes. Without saying a word, they immediately fought each other.
Pang De's swordsmanship was fierce, and each move was full of force, trying to suppress Wei Yan with his strength. However, Wei Yan, with his flexible body movements and superb martial arts, cleverly resolved Pang De's attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.
However, the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and the guards around Wei Yan cooperated well and quickly gained the upper hand.
Although on the surface, the overall strength of Wei Yan's army was relatively weaker, the darkness became their best cover. Coupled with the huge difference in morale between the two sides, Wei Yan's army actually crushed Pang De's army.
Under the fierce attack of Wei Yan's army, Pang De's army gradually could not resist and began to retreat.
Pang De, however, fought to the death and led his guards to quickly form a tight defensive formation, like a huge rock, nailing it firmly in place to resist. At the same time, he pushed his talent to the extreme, covering the hundreds of soldiers around him.
Pound knew he had lost, but he couldn't lose too badly.
He is now gambling, placing all his hopes on the fact that Wei Yan does not have enough troops.
During the day, he saw with his own eyes Wei Yan leading the defenders in a desperate fight on the city wall, so he firmly believed that Wei Yan would never have too many troops for a night attack.
Pang De was extremely nervous, and Wei Yan was also extremely anxious.
He knew very well that the key to a night attack was to quickly disrupt the enemy's position and cause it to completely collapse.
But he never expected that Pang De would be so tenacious. In such a chaotic situation, he could actually stabilize part of the army and prevent it from completely collapsing.
And the troops he brought were indeed too few.
What's worse is that despite his huge advantage, he couldn't kill Pound.
At this time, Wei Yan was just a rookie and had not yet grown into a general who could stand on his own in the future. He was still somewhat incapable of facing the battle-hardened Pang De.
After a while of fighting, Wei Yan made a prompt decision and without hesitation led his personal guards to change direction and attack other places, no longer staring at Pang De.
The personal guards around Pang De were now at their limit, their physical and mental strength were on the verge of collapse, and they dared not act rashly. They could only watch Wei Yan leave and began to slaughter the rest of the soldiers who were fleeing in panic.
Pang De had no choice but to grit his teeth and slowly gather the frightened soldiers around him.
Wei Yan rushed around in the camp, and wherever he went, Pang De's troops fled.
In this situation, Wei Yan did not blindly expand the results of the battle, but tried his best to burn Pang De's army's baggage, food and the most important siege equipment.
As Pang De gathered more and more soldiers and dawn approached, Wei Yan realized that he had to retreat, and he led his soldiers out of the siege without hesitation.
Wei Yan calmly led the tired soldiers to Baidi City. After giving some arrangements to his deputy general, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
After a day and a night of fighting, we were really exhausted.
The fighting in this night attack was extremely brutal, with nearly half of the soldiers killed. The tenacity of Pang De's army was indeed beyond his imagination.
But fortunately, the results were remarkable.
Pang De was so angry when he counted the casualties afterwards. It was bad enough that only more than 4,000 soldiers were killed, but all kinds of supplies and siege equipment were also severely damaged, and morale was severely hit.
Without a few days, I'm afraid it will be impossible to organize a decent attack again.
Moreover, we must contact Zhang He's troops as soon as possible to mobilize food and fodder replenishment from the rear, otherwise there will be a risk of food shortage.
These changes are undoubtedly crucial for both parties who are racing against time.
Pang De looked towards Baidi City with hatred, and swore in his heart: "Wei Wenchang, I will get back at you sooner or later!"
