Chapter 411: The Great Battle of Pingcheng

Yuan Shao was in Pingcheng, and when he saw Liu Bei menacing, he guarded the city gate and did not come out. On the one hand, they mobilized Ji and the army, waiting for reinforcements; On the one hand, he wanted to rely on Ji and his huge logistical advantages to drag Liu Bei down. Who would have thought that Liu Yu was also ruthless, and issued a death order to ensure Liu Bei's food security. All counties in Youzhou worked together, and a steady stream of grain and grass was directly sent to Liu Bei's camp.

The road back is worry-free, and Liu Bei is not afraid of a protracted battle. So he confronted Yuan Shao in Pingcheng. Before long, Cao Cao and Sun Jian both had letters, Yuan Shao saw it, his face was blue with anger, and everyone next to him was silent when they saw it. Cao Cao and Sun Jian unanimously refused to send troops to help, are they not optimistic about Jizhou?

Yuan Shao turned back and forth in the hall a few times, and then stopped abruptly, his eyes were bright, his face was resolute, and he said: "It's better to ask for others than for yourself." Since this is the case, I will lead the army out of the city and fight to the death with Liu Bei, and if I win, I will be the overlord of the north! "What if you lose, Yuan Shao didn't say it, and everyone in the palace also knew it.

Yuan Shao made up his mind, so he opened the city gate and went out of the city to meet Liu Bei. The senior cadres who were stationed outside Pingcheng also brought troops to help. When Liu Bei saw Yuan Shao going out of the city, he also beat the drum to gather the generals, and issued general orders one by one in the big tent of the Chinese army: "Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun listen to the order, and you will lead the army to protect the flanks of the army, and there must be no mistakes!" ”

"Lu Bu listens to the order, you lead the ride in front, and be the vanguard of our army!"

"Huang Zhong listens to the order, you lead the crossbowmen, and lie behind Lu Bu!"

"Yan Rou listens to the order, you lead the headquarters, and guard the camp!"

"Liu Ke and Sha Mo listen to the order, and you lead the troops to protect the Chinese army!"

The generals agreed. The archers were assembled and temporarily placed under the command of Huang Zhong. The rest of Huang Zhong's troops were temporarily transferred under Lu Bu's tent.

Lu Buzheng thought that he had few soldiers, and when he saw Liu Bei transferring thousands of people over, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "I will defeat the enemy's sharp edge in this battle!" ”

Zhang Fei listened to it beside him, snorted coldly, and whispered to Zhao Yun: "There are countless generals in our army, why did you let Lu Fengxian be a pioneer general?" ”]

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "The lord has his own decision, and we will do what we are ordered." ”

On Yuan Shao's side, Gao Gan was on the left, Gao Ran was on the right, and he led the generals in front, and Lu Xiang was kicked to the rear army by Yuan Shao because of his repeated mistakes.

The two armies lined up together, and Yuan Shaojin came out to see Liu Bei: "Xuande, you have mobilized troops for no reason, causing hundreds of people to be displaced, which is a great crime. Don't want to retreat quickly? ”

Liu Bei said: "Brother Benchu, if you don't come to Youzhou, how can I come to Merge Zhou?" "Big brother Mo said second brother, everyone knows what they want to do.

Yuan Shao was still sanctimonious: "I came to Youzhou with an edict, why not?" ”

Liu Bei heard this and sneered: "I am also edicted, come here to ask for you!" I can't go on. Yuan Shao's face was red because of Liu Bei's words, but he was helpless, who let Liu Bei now have an emperor in his hands.

Yuan Shao said coldly: "Since this is the case, then let the horse come." ”

In the formation on both sides, on the high platform, the bare-shouldered man waved a drumstick, and in the sound of a bang, the war drums were beaten. Bands of soldiers, carrying banners, swords unsheathed, arrows wound, spears pointed obliquely. Slowly approach each other. In the distance, the cavalry reined in their horses and began to trot in broken steps.

Gradually, the cavalry began to accelerate, the earth trembled, and rows of cavalrymen, following closely the banner in front, surged forward, and the sound of horses' hooves became denser and clearer. The horses finally began to gallop.

The galloping cavalry slammed into each other fiercely, like a tide crashing on the shore, and with a single photo, countless people were hit by the war horses and flew up and fell off their horses. Or died under the long knife of Xue Liang.

The war horses whistled like a raging wind, without stopping. After killing the enemy, the knights reined in and began to turn in an arc. A new round of slaughter has begun.

The cavalry took the lead and when they started their battle, Liu Bei's side and Lu Bu also led their troops to attack. It was a mixed army of foot and horsemen. The state cavalry and Huang Zhong's infantry were mixed together. Lu Bu took the lead, shook the spear on the horse, and entered the enemy formation, as soon as the battle began, between the rise and fall of the halberd, the two generals of the Yuan army screamed miserably, and fell off the horse, Yuan Shao commanded the shield array to approach step by step, and behind the big shield like a wall, was the tip of the snow bright spear that stood like a forest. Lu Bu sat upright on his horse, not afraid at all. Before running to the shield array, the left and right pro-armies blocked the rain of arrows for him, and Lu Bu rose bravely, shouted, raised the halberd, and smashed it violently on the big shield when it was round.

With a shocking split, the hardwood-clad iron shield was immediately torn apart, and the soldier hiding behind screamed and was silent, and this blow had already broken his hands and shattered his internal organs to death.

Lu Bu led the generals to attack the shield array together, and with his personal bravery, he smashed a gap in the perfect shield array. After the gap, there was a forest of guns, and Lu Bu did not rush into battle, but drew a semicircle, and Le Ma temporarily retreated, and behind him, the crossbowmen led by Huang Zhong flashed out from under the banner. Aiming at the gap, it is a volley of ten thousand arrows. Suddenly, rows of spearmen fell to the ground with arrows.

When Yuan Shao saw it, he ordered the flags to move, and rows of shieldmen and spearmen were replenished from the rear. Then the archers of the Yuan army also launched. Patches of black clouds continued to rise and fall overhead on both sides. Bring greetings from hell. The rain of arrows, horses' hooves, knives and guns, and armor collided, and the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the bravery and masculinity of the northern men were all shown here. Unfortunately, this scene was accompanied by death.

Finally, Lu Bu still led the army from the gap and rushed in. Lu Bu had a murderous face, with a cruel smile, the halberd in his hand danced like a dragon, and every blow must be accompanied by a scream, which also means that there is another living life that was buried by his own hands. Lu Bu was brave, and Gao Shun led the trapping camp to rush back and forth, and the gap in Yuan's army was getting bigger and bigger. Huang Zhong saw the opportunity, so he led the department, followed all the way, and sent support at any time. Liu Bei said to Liu Ke and Shamo: "The generals are vying for the first, how can we sit back and watch." Then he led the generals and moved forward together.

Gao Gan and Gao Lan have fought with Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun many times, and they can't help these two. Zhang Fei is brave and brave, rare in the world, a black steel spear, with a variety of moves, next to death, touching and dying. How can Gao Gan resist. He led the army to kill through the enemy formation, and strangled the cavalry of Zhang Fei's department, and after so on, the cavalry and war horses began to get tired. On the horses, sweat was like rain, the cavalry was also panting deeply, their lungs were rising and falling like bellows, and the knives and guns in their hands also felt extremely heavy. The muscles of the legs were so sore that they couldn't hold the horse's belly, and they seemed to be able to fall off the horse's back at any moment.

Zhang Fei's side is naturally not much better. Cavalry to cavalry, hard to hit, relying on real skills, no one can be tricky. However, Zhang Fei took advantage of it a little, that is, with him as a fierce general, there were many more people in Qingzhou to ride and harvest than the senior cadres. And although Qingzhou is too tired to ride, Zhang Fei seems to be a person who has nothing to do, and he is still very energetic. It will be the courage of the soldiers, Zhang Fei is full of spirits, riding horses, showing off his might, and the cavalry behind him is also in good spirits, following his own general.

Zhang Fei saw Gao Gan on the opposite side panting like a cow, raised his spear and pointed at Gao Gan, laughed and said: "Gao Gan, you have the ability, you dare to fight me?" If you descend to me, your life will be saved, and your family will be complete! Not to rappel yet? ”

Gao Gan was furious when he heard this, a certain noble is a state assassin, and a young general in Qingzhou, Ru District, dare to insult me? So he scolded and said: "Zhang Fei, Hugh is good at making big words, I and you, never die!" When the words fell, he mustered up his spirits, shouted, and went to war again. Behind him, he rode steadily, breathing steadily, and a whistling sound, also followed Gao Gan.
