Chapter 314: The Battle of Xiapi (2)

With 10,000 people to rely on, Chen Lan's heart is naturally full of confidence. When the Han army was in full swing, Chen Lan shook the order flag three times at the head of the city. A scout outside the city saw him, so he sneaked to his own army to give orders.

After a while, a trumpet sounded in the distance. Zhang Fei was directing the siege of the city, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the horn behind him. Could it be that the lord has launched an attack, is it impossible? The orientation is wrong. At this time, a scout quickly reported: "General, there are a large number of enemy troops on the northeast side. ”

Zhang Fei hurriedly asked, "How many people are there?" ”

The scout replied: "The banner covers the sky and the sun, and it is roughly estimated that it is no less than five thousand. ”

Zhang Fei fought many battles, and after collecting the soldiers, he selected the strong men to let them defend the cities, and now he used to attack the city with only more than 3,000 people. The enemy army can still station 5,000 troops outside the city outside the city, so how many people are there in this city?

Zhang Fei thought to himself, he didn't expect that he wanted to flank the lord and take care of it, and the enemy army also wanted to flank him. Fortunately, I didn't come to attack the city alone, otherwise it would have been miserable. So he hurriedly ordered the scout to report to Liu Bei, and asked Ye Jiao to continue to command the siege not to panic, and he led a thousand soldiers to form a formation against the camp to wait for the enemy.

Chen Lan saw clearly at the head of the city, sighed, and said in her heart that it was a pity, if the Han army Mingjin collected its troops and would no longer attack the city, but all retreated to meet his army outside the city. He will immediately lead the army out of the city to strangle, and then the Han army will be defeated by the two ends. However, even if the Han army made preparations to attack instead of defend, it would not hurt, and he would drag the Han army besieging the city here. It was only a matter of time before the army outside the city broke through the more than 1,000 soldiers who were defending the array. When the time comes, I will raise the army out of the city and attack together, even if Zhang Fei has great ability, he will have to suffer defeat in my hands. Chen Lan smiled on her face, and said in her heart, when the time comes, let's see how you Ji Ling still boast of being the first general under the command of the lord. Chen Lan thought happily, and became more and more calm when commanding.

Chen Lan's lieutenant general, led 6,000 people, stationed outside the city, and after receiving the banner of Chen Lan's attack on the rear camp of the Han army, he led the army to dispatch. The flags were unfurled, the drums moved the sky, and the army rushed straight to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei stood in front of the formation, only to see a crowd of people in front of him, like a black tide that wanted to drown himself. Zhang Fei stood motionless in front of the formation, he was usually used to rushing into battle, and he knew that he could only defend at this time. It is refreshing to lead a thousand men into battle, but if you are not careful, the camp in the rear will be over. There are also 2,000 armor soldiers attacking the city. This place must be firmly guarded. As long as you hold the first wave of the offensive, the rest will be easy. Hehe, you thieves will be all finished.

The enemy troops are united in one and surging forward. Zhang Fei shouted: "Tree shield!" Archers ready! ”

In front of the battle, there are the antlers of the horse, behind the horse, there is a large shield with a high number of people, swordsmen, and spearmen are prepared, and at the rear, there are archers. These are all elite soldiers who have been with Zhang Fei for a long time, and they have long been trained to treat life and death as usual, not to mention that the proposition of the first army is at the forefront. Before Zhang Fei fell, their eyelids would not tremble.

Chen Lan's lieutenant first charged the battle with cavalry, and then followed by footmen. wants to break through Zhang Fei's defense line in one fell swoop, and then kill this Han army. The rumbling hooves sounded like a drumbeat, and then, straight to the Han army.

Boom! Then the horses neighed, and the swords and spears were raised, and the flesh flew in one face. Behind the giant shield, countless armor soldiers stubbornly pressed their shoulders against the shield to withstand the enemy's men's and horses' charges. Then, countless glittering spears stabbed out from behind the shield. Zhang Fei even brandished a snake spear and smashed it with stabs. Behind them, the archers were already firing a series of arrows, throwing them.

The enemy's adjutant general couldn't help but turn blue when he saw that he not only did not break through the Han defense line in the first round, but suffered a lot of losses. He roared angrily: "Cavalry keep charging me!" Archers come forward! I don't believe it, a little thousand people, dare to stop me? ”

The cavalry made an arc and tried to attack from the flank, only to receive the same blow. Although there are few soldiers in Qingzhou, their cooperation in the battle formation is already perfect. As for the cavalry, they themselves are experts in cavalry warfare, and how can they not think of defending the flanks.

The two armies fought back and forth, only to kill the heads of the people, the blood melted the sand, and the souls returned to the wilderness. Gradually, the Han soldiers fell down one by one. Although the enemy died more, there were many of them. The adjutant general of the enemy army looked at the gradually thinning Han army formation, and the smile on his face gradually bloomed, and said: "Even if you fill it with human lives, you will be consumed to death!" ”

Even if Zhang Fei is a tiger general in the world, he is secretly complaining in his heart, if you don't move, the lord, these sons and daughters will all be buried here. At this moment, I saw the sound of drums and trumpets, and a Biao army suddenly appeared in the rear of the enemy army, and fiercely plunged towards the rear of the enemy army.

Zhang Fei saw the big Liu character fluttering on the banner first, his spirit was greatly lifted, and he shouted: "The lord is here to help!" Han Jun looked up and saw that it was really the case, and couldn't help shouting: "Kill!" ”

The morale of the Han army was great, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the drums sounded like thunder. Bows and arrows, spears, swords and shields, turned this battlefield into a meat grinder. Liu Bei didn't expect that with a little worry, the enemy army would have so many troops stationed there, and when he saw Zhang Fei being attacked by the enemy, he couldn't help but be in a hurry, and he wanted to help immediately. Chen Zhi persuaded: "With the courage of General Zhang, the enemy army cannot be shaken. When I come out at this time, the enemy will hear that I am coming, and they will leave. It is better to wait for the two armies to meet each other in short arms, and then attack them after them, and it can be broken. ”

Liu Bei thought about it, he ran out in a hurry now, the enemy army is not a fool, and he has to turn around and flee. It's better to listen to Chen's words, let Yide and the enemy fight inseparably, and then raise troops to attack the enemy's rear, and then the enemy's new force will be completely finished. So I gladly followed. Only then did the attack strike.

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Bei's reinforcements appeared, the enemy's adjutant general was shocked. If you want to withdraw your troops, the two armies are strangled together, and they can't retreat in a hurry. If you don't withdraw it, you're going to be caught soon.

As soon as the adjutant general's eyes are closed, he can't control so much, the thirty-six plan is the best, let's collect the troops first, and withdraw as much as you can. So he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. On the battlefield, the soldiers of the Yuan army couldn't help but be stunned when they heard Mingjin, how to withdraw at this time if they were going to win, so they looked up, and it was over, the reinforcements of the Han army came, and the commander's banner was retreating. So what are you waiting for, run.

Yuan Shu has always been arrogant, and when he was in Nanyang, he often plundered the people and did not cultivate the law and discipline, especially when he arrived in Yangzhou. There were basically no rules in his army, and the officers above withheld their salaries, and the soldiers below harmed the people. Fighting is more like fighting, and there is a rush of formation. This is an army that has no law from top to bottom, let alone compared to the disciplined Qingzhou army. At this time, some people in the Yuan army saw that the lord was about to retreat, so they ran away regardless of it. This run, no one next to him responded, and suddenly there were countless tragic deaths. Seeing this, everyone quit one after another, you run and I will run, otherwise you will have to die sooner or later. When the enemy runs, the whole battlefield is in chaos. The general army retreats, all of them retreat slowly, fleeing while fighting, and alternately covering, these Yuan troops do not have all of them, they all belong to the type of dead friends and undead poor roads.

Some threw weapons and undressed while running. Lighten the load, and from time to time look at the robe next to you, anyway, just outperform the people around you. This kind of army is typical of fighting with the wind, and once the situation changes, it will break up quickly, and it will make you feel afraid. At this time, Chen Lan's lieutenant general, seeing the collapse of the army, knew that it was not good, so he led the cavalry early, relying on the speed, and ran away all the way.

Liu Bei's side has not yet officially attacked, as soon as the banner is raised, the party opens the formation, only to see that the enemy army collapses in chaos. Liu Bei is also very entangled, but Liu Bei and Zhang Fei will not let go of such a good opportunity. So each led the troops and waved their troops to cover up the killing. only killed corpses all over the field, and only stopped when there were soldiers all over the ground.
