Chapter 995: Casting a Long Line to Catch a Big Fish
"Lu Bu, do you know me!"
With Zhao Yun's loud shout, in the night, a white horse jumped over.
With a horse roar, Zhao Yun, who was white-robed and silver-speared, killed Lu Bu's side.
Lu Bu repelled Guan Yu with one blow, and at this time, Zhao Yun's figure happened to appear, and Lu Bu was also shocked, and after seeing Zhao Yun's location with his residual vision, he immediately became vigilant.
"Who am I, it turns out that he is another defeated subordinate, and a subordinate like you is defeated, what if there are a few more?"
Lu Bu smiled coldly, and he was not too worried about Zhao Yun's appearance.
Despite Zhao Yun's strength, Lu Bu also knew that compared to Guan Yu, he was not much inferior, and if Guan Yu and Zhao Yun attacked him together, Lu Bu really didn't have much confidence that he could deal with these two people.
However, Lu Bu naturally wouldn't say such an idea, and when he saw Zhao Yun, he could only pretend that he was not afraid at all.
On the surface, he was not afraid, but Zhao Yun really attacked, and when he stabbed Lu Bu with a shot, Lu Bu's body was still very honest, and he quickly retreated, avoiding Zhao Yun's attack.
And Guan Yu's original attack also followed at this time.
With Zhao Yun's help, Guan Yu's pressure was greatly reduced, and he, who could only blindly defend, was able to start attacking Lu Bu at this time.
The two of them, one left and one right, attacked Lu Bu from the front.
Lu Bu, who had been in contact with Guan Yu just now, suddenly changed from offense to defense because of Zhao Yun's joining.
The appearance of Zhao Yun broke the balance of confrontation between the two powerful generals.
Lu Bu faced the two generals alone, so he could only change his strategy, but even if he changed from attack to defense, it was not so easy for Lu Bu to fight against Guan Yu and Zhao Yun.
After a few fights, Lu Bu was suppressed by Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, and he was completely unable to attack, so he could only keep retreating.
Fortunately, Lu Bu's own martial arts are strong enough, although he can't win, but it is still no problem to stalemate with Guan Yu and Zhao Yun for a while.
The battle on the battlefield continues.
However, because of the appearance of the White Horse Follower, the trapped camp could not continue to be dominant, and the situation that was originally rampaging on the battlefield and no one was an opponent also changed.
Zhang Xiu under Guan Yu, Liu Zhang's generals Zhang Ren, Yan Yan and others also began to rush to the battlefield one after another.
From all sides, they planned to annihilate Su Fei and Gao Shun.
The battle continued until the second half of the night.
It didn't stop either.
Originally, Gan Ning thought that with reinforcements, the situation would improve, but he ignored that there were too many soldiers and horses stationed by Guan Yu here, and it was far from a balance that could be done by just one Su Fei and Lu Bu.
The appearance of Su Fei and Lu Bu only brought some hope to Gan Ning, the two sides were still in a stalemate, and because of the strong combat power of the trapped camp, they were able to block the continuous attack of Guan Yu's army, otherwise these people would have been swept away by Guan Yu's soldiers and horses.
Liu Zheng and Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses, when they appeared here, it was the stage when the battlefield entered the white-hot stage.
Huang Zhong's main force and Su Fei's vanguard army were not far behind, and when Su Fei led his soldiers and horses into the battlefield, Huang Zhong also joined the battlefield at this time, helping the declining camp to rise again.
And when Huang Zhong's 20,000 troops appeared on the battlefield, they could actually play a role that was not particularly huge, because most of Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses were archers, and it was night, and the visibility was not high, so he couldn't see things in the distance.
Therefore, Huang Zhong's men and horses, once they shoot arrows, have a low hit rate, and they are easy to shoot their teammates, which limits Huang Zhong's men and horses, and cannot bring special help to the trapped camp, but the arrival of 20,000 reinforcements and the movement also gave Liu Zhengjun a lot of hope on the battlefield.
On the battlefield, Liu Bei was also in the rear of the camp, and after Guan Yu personally rushed to the battlefield, the command of the soldiers and horses on the battlefield fell into Liu Bei's hands.
Liu Bei was actually directing the battle from the beginning, starting with the formulation of this plan to besiege the Ganning camp.
Liu Bei has been participating, and even originally united Liu Zhang's 30,000 soldiers and horses, Liu Bei controlled an army of 90,000, and there was a great opportunity to directly use the blitzkrieg to eliminate Gan Ning.
But Liu Bei didn't do this, and even he told Guan Yu that there was no need to rush to kill Gan Ning's 30,000 army, they had to put a long line and catch big fish.
is not in a hurry to kill Gan Ning's people here, but to trap Gan Ning and wait for Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses stationed in Xicheng to come to the rescue.
Using such a strategy of encircling and sending reinforcements to eliminate Liu Zheng and more soldiers and horses, anyway, in Liu Bei's opinion, the 30,000 horses and horses of Ganning stationed near Nanzheng are dead.
Even if it is death, it will bring him some greater value.
However, obviously Liu Bei didn't expect that Liu Zheng would appear in Xicheng in person, and also sent to bring the trapping camp.
It was not Huang Zhong that Gan Ning attracted, but Lu Bu.
If it was just Lu Bu's leading some trapped camps to appear here, Liu Bei wouldn't need to be afraid, but there were still 20,000 Huang Zhong's shooters behind.
At one point, the number of troops increased to 60,000 horses.
And Liu Bei couldn't see how many men and horses Liu Zheng had sent over at night, but he only knew that Liu Zhengjun had a lot of reinforcements here.
Liu Bei, who had lost a lot of troops on the battlefield just now, had already begun to waver.
Jian Yong was by Liu Bei's side, and after noticing Huang Zhong's army and joining the battlefield, he immediately came over to report the situation to Liu Bei.
"My lord, something is wrong, the enemy army has come to reinforcements again, and the preliminary estimate is at least 20,000 horses!"
Some of Jian Yong's spies were arranged on the periphery, although it was night, but Huang Zhong was holding torches when he advanced, and the approximate number of people could be estimated from the length of the torches.
"Twenty thousand? Huang Zhong has sent all his soldiers and horses here, and he really wants to compete with us here? ”
When Liu Bei learned the news, he seemed a little surprised.
Now they have a lot of soldiers and horses on their side, especially the 30,000 horses and horses under Liu Zhang, who directly lost more than half of them in the battle just now, and the generals who were responsible for commanding Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, all had some resistance at this time, and they were not willing to take the initiative to fight.
If Liu Bei continued to let his men deal with Huang Zhong at this time, then even if he could eliminate Huang Zhong, the loss of his own troops would definitely not be small.
The biggest possibility is that Guan Yu led tens of thousands of troops to defeat Huang Zhong, and Guan Yu himself will not have more than 20,000 people left.
