Chapter 431 Zhang Liao arrived
Since Cao's army raided Dazhai, it proved that this was a premeditated plan, and if it entered from Laiwu, it would be blocked from moving forward.
I am afraid that the lord has now been surrounded, Zhang Liao after thinking about it, and immediately decided to change his route and enter Taishan County from Jinan County.
With the return of the scouts, Zhang Liao learned that Cao's army was besieging Yuanshan with heavy troops, and sent Yu Ban to besiege Yingxian.
There is a city in Yingxian County to hold onto, for a while, there will definitely be no problem, Cao Jun invested heavy troops to besiege Yuanshan, so Li Huiyi must be there.
Zhang Liao's ability to be independent is still very strong, as can be seen from his detour to Jinan.
Ordering the army to lurk and secretly to minimize the possibility of exposure, Zhang Liao led the army and quickly marched towards the original mountain.
After several days of hurrying, Zhang Liao led his army to fifty miles from Yuanshan, then stopped advancing and sent clever scouts to get in touch with Li Huiyi.
But Cao's army was tightly sealed, and the scouts couldn't lurk in at all, so they had no choice but to retreat.
Zhang Liao learned that he was not waiting long, more than 10,000 troops, and the distance between them and Cao's army was so close, it was impossible to hide for a long time.
Gathering a large army, Zhang Liao launched an attack on Cao's army, and at the same time ordered people to launch all signals from the shouts of killing.
The fifteen-thousand-strong army quietly approached the Cao army, but you can imagine what kind of scene the Cao army was unprepared.
Zhang Liao led the army to lead the charge, and in less than an hour, he broke through the defense line of Cao's army and rushed inside.
Cao Junshuai's tent, Cao Cao was eating, and suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing, and the chopsticks in his hand paused for a moment, and then continued to eat.
When he had finished eating, a soldier ran into the tent. "Report, tens of thousands of Li troops have appeared in the rear of our army, and they are advancing forward."
Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Who broke in from the defense?"
The soldier said: "It is from General Li Tong's defense." ”
"Hmm." Cao Cao paused for a while and said, "Zhongkang, you lead the troops and horses of your headquarters to support." ”
"Yes." Xu Chu, who was standing on the side, clasped his fists and saluted, and strode away.
Seeing Xu Chu leaving, Cao Cao said to the soldiers: "Go and order all the departments, let them stand by and prevent Li Huiyi from breaking through, but without an order, you must not make your own decisions." ”
"Yes." The soldier gave up his hand and quickly exited the tent.
Cao Cao touched his mustache, shook his head and said, "I didn't think that this Zhang Liao really has the ability to lurk here silently." ”
"But it's okay, as long as Li Huiyi is blocked in the mountain, even if Zhang Liao has the ability, he will be helpless."
Faced with the sudden arrival of Li Jun, Cao Cao didn't care.
Ying Cao Hong did not meet Zhang Liao all the way, and Cao Cao had already thought in his heart that Zhang Liao must have entered Taishan County, but he was hidden.
Now that it appears, it just happens to be a random speculation in the province, as long as Zhang Liao is defeated or disabled, then no one will come to save him.
In the cave, Li Huiyi suddenly saw the signal fireworks sounding in the sky, and immediately understood that the long-waiting reinforcements had finally arrived.
But instead of rushing to cooperate, he summoned the generals and ordered all the food to be distributed among the soldiers, so that they could eat as much as possible.
With the small amount of food in the past few days, Li Jun was already hungry with his chest close to his back, and he did not have much combat power at all.
At this time, the arrival of reinforcements is the best opportunity to break through, restore the state to the peak, and also increase the chance of success.
An hour later, Li Huiyi summoned the soldiers who had recovered a trace of blood and shouted: "Soldiers, the reinforcements have arrived, and it is up to everyone to get out alive." ”
"Today's food has been used up, and we have no way back, but to break the kettle and sink the boat, and fight for life and death!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
When Li Jun heard this, he raised his weapons one after another and responded to Li Huiyi.
Li Huiyi shouted with a resolute face: "When Dian Wei heard this, he ordered you to lead a thousand soldiers and horses to open the way in front, and if you encounter Cao's army, just rush forward and kill." ”
"Yes, the general will not fail in the mission." Dian Wei hugged his fists and saluted, and went to order troops.
Li Huiyi then shouted: "Wang Teng listened to the order and ordered you to lead a thousand soldiers and horses to protect the tail of the army, and not let the Cao army break through the formation." ”
Wang Teng hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, as long as there is not a single breath left, you will not let Cao Jun threaten the lord in the slightest." ”
……
With Li Huiyi's order, Li Jun began to divide into four divisions, protecting Li Huiyi in the center and rushing downward.
Seeing Li Jun rushing forward, Cao Jun was also prepared, and first shot with a bow and arrow.
When the Li army rushed close, the Cao army, which had already formed a defensive formation, raised their weapons one after another and stabbed at the rushing Li army, trying to drive them back to the mountain.
But this time Li Jun did not retreat, because they had no way to retreat, only to fight to the death.
Dian Wei rushed to the front, leading by example, the tiger and tiger wielding the double halberd, as long as he touched it, he was either dead or disabled, and Cao Jun had no one to stop him from moving forward.
In the face of life and death, Li Jun desperately rushed forward to kill, hoping to get out alive.
Faced with such a situation, Cao's defense line gradually became weak, and Cao Ren, the leading general, saw this and hurriedly sent someone to explain the situation to Cao Cao.
Knowing that the defense line had been breached, Cao Cao knew that Li Jun was fighting for his life, and immediately put all the main forces of the army into action.
and issued a death order, let Li Tong entangle Zhang Liao, and could not give him a chance to receive Li Huiyi, and then went to command in person, wanting to leave Li Huiyi behind.
Zhang Liao, who was rushing to kill, saw that the sneak attack of the army was blocked, and knew that if he delayed any longer, it would be detrimental to his side.
Glancing at the soldiers who followed, Zhang Liao held the crescent halberd in his hand and shouted: "Soldiers, the Vermilion Bird Legion has suffered a lot since it was reorganized. ”
"It is the lord who has always believed in us, and today we will make a name for ourselves, so that everyone in the world will know the name of the Vermilion Bird Legion."
"If you are not afraid of death, follow Zhang and rush forward to rescue the lord!"
Zhang Liao's voice fell, and his head would not rush forward.
Seeing this, the soldiers who followed the less than a thousand people beside him were enthusiastic for a while, and their eyes were red and they followed behind him.
"Rescue the lord!"
"Rescue the lord!"
……
The sound resounded on the battlefield, and the morale of the Vermilion Bird Legion was greatly boosted, and they desperately entangled the Cao army who wanted to intercept Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao led nearly 1,000 people and rushed all the way to break through Li Tong's blockade.
As the shouting and killing in front gradually intensified, Zhang Liao knew that Li Huiyi must be in front.
Riding his horse and galloping, Zhang Liao shouted: "Sons, follow closely, where you will rush, you will follow." ”
In order to avoid difficulties in entering the battlefield, Zhang Liao gave an order in advance, so as not to have a situation of fighting separately.
And Zhang Liao's arrival naturally alarmed Cao Cao.
Knowing that more than 1,000 people were killed, Cao Cao immediately divided his troops into 5,000 troops and went to block them outside, begging for the army to successfully take the remnants of Li Huiyi.
Looking at the five thousand Cao troops rushing in front of him, Zhang Liao was not afraid at all, and rushed forward with a halberd.
"Puff, puff......"
Rushing into Cao's army, Zhang Liao was dual-minded, the crescent halberd kept harvesting Cao Jun's life, and his eyes kept looking ahead, looking for the most favorable entry point.
Well?
At this time, a mountain Po entered Zhang Liao's sight, and several people on the mountain Po were pointing at the battlefield below, and under the mountain, there were nearly a thousand soldiers guarding it.
