Chapter 748: The Three Armies Attack Zhang Yu at Night
LĂź Bu rushed towards Zhang Yu's camp with an army of 100,000, while Yuan Shao's army and Cao Cao's army also arrived almost at the same time.
Zhang Yu and the others received the warning half an hour in advance, but it was enough.
"Quick, form a formation first, pay attention to both sides." Zhang Yu began to command after leaving the big tent.
He came to the front and had to block the first wave of impact.
"My lord, the enemy is fierce, I am afraid there are nearly 100,000 people." Dian Wei said.
The one who came in front of him was Lu Bu, who had already killed him.
After Dian Wei finished talking to Zhang Yu, he prepared to fight.
"Lu Bu, I really didn't expect you to have a counterattack, so let's fight."
Zhang Yu and Dian Wei attacked and attacked Lu Bu.
The two armies collided and fought together.
Zhang Yu and Dian Wei teamed up to attack Lu Bu, and at this time, Lu Bu's general also came to help, and the two sides fought.
On the other side, Cao Cao's generals Cao Hong and Cao Ren also led an army to attack Zhang Yu.
Cao Cao personally led his troops to attack Yuan Shao, while the Cao brothers came to attack Zhang Yu.
Yuan Shaofang also sent 50,000 people to flank Zhang Yu.
Attacked on three sides, Zhang Yu's situation didn't seem to be good.
Zhang Yu and the others stopped Lu Bu, but Lu Bu was strong, and Zhang Yu and they kept retreating.
The armies on both sides also blocked the enemy's attack, but were besieged on three sides, apparently in a disadvantageous position.
"Fight and retreat." Zhang Yu gave up and entangled Lu Bu and retreated with the army.
Lu Bu would not give up, he led the army to pounce all the time, pounced, and after being repulsed, he changed to a general and continued to pounce.
On the other hand, Cao Hong is the same as Cao Ren, if he wants to establish the security of Yanzhou, he must weaken Zhang Yu's strength.
However, not long after the war, Cao Ren's heart sank slightly, and the Jiangdong Army that was attacked by the sneak attack did not collapse, and was still fighting back.
They didn't know that Zhang Yu was attacked on three sides.
Cao Ren discovered the problem after attacking a certain distance, the outer defense of the military camp was not strong, and it was quickly broken after their sudden attack, and the Jiangdong army also quickly retreated.
After that, they encountered a strong block, and a second layer of defense was built inside.
The second layer of defense is noticeably stronger.
"Put."
Yu Ban happened to be in charge of defending Cao Ren and them, and when the enemy attacked, Yu Ban appeared in the second line of defense.
He organized the archers and gave them a head-on attack when Cao Ren and the others came over.
It really hurt this time.
Don't look at the night archers are not very accurate, but the archers here have long realized that they understand the shooting boundary, know the distance and other parameters, and they don't need to see too clearly at all.
One volley caused the Cao army to suffer heavy losses, and hundreds of people fell.
"Rush up quickly."
Cao Ren did not retreat, but let the soldiers accelerate and rush forward, only in this way could they make it difficult for the archers to attack.
But Cao Ren still underestimated the power of Jiangdong's archers too much.
They extended their fire and hit directly at Cao's rear army, attacking three times in a row before stopping.
They stopped because the Cao army had already been killed, and the archers were not suitable for close combat, but these three rounds of attacks also caused nearly 2,000 casualties to the rear of the Cao army.
Cao Ren did not achieve the expected victory, and the Jiangdong soldiers and horses that were attacked did not collapse immediately.
Yuan Shaojun on the other side was also hit.
Zhang Yu had rearranged the military camp before, and arranged a total of two lines of defense, the first line of defense was the outermost line of defense, which was relatively simple, but after careful arrangement, the enemy would be limited after killing and hindering their speed.
Both Cao Jun and Yuan Shaojun tried to assault from both sides, but both were trapped, directly losing hundreds of people.
However, the enemy could only assault from the front, which was arranged with strong defenses, and it was simply impossible to break through in a short time.
Frontal assault, defense, it is impossible to break through quickly, which also gives Zhang Yu and them time to win.
Heavily attacked on three sides, it was impossible to retreat, so Zhang Yu decided to retreat.
It takes time to build a defense in the rear.
"Evil, let's make a surprise attack so that the enemy doesn't dare to be so arrogant." Zhang Yu said to Dian Wei.
"Okay~"
Dian Wei was immediately happy, this kind of thing he liked to do the most.
The two prepared and rushed forward.
"Lu Buxiu goes."
Zhang Yu shouted.
This shout made Lu Bu a little confused, he didn't run away, he was obviously attacking.
But before Lu Bu could react, Zhang Yu and Dian Wei suddenly joined forces to come back.
This made Lu Bu angry, Zhang Yu was so arrogant, he was pressed and beaten by himself, and he dared to come back at this time.
Zhang Yu and Dian Wei were in full combat, and the surrounding soldiers also tried their best to cooperate, not only blocking Lu Bu, but also repelling them.
Many of Lu Bufang's soldiers didn't know, and they really thought that Lu Bu was repelled by Zhang Yu and them.
After Zhang Yu knocked Lu Bu back, he quickly retreated.
Lu Bu killed again.
was killed by Zhang Yu, and it was delayed a lot.
Zhang Yu and the others fought and retreated, but they were attacked on three sides and suffered a lot of losses.
Fortunately, the army did not rout, and although the losses were large, they did not collapse.
"Lord, it's ready."
A young general found Zhang Yu and reported.
Zhang Yu had already established a complete defense after Cao Cao's defeat, taking into account not only the enemy's night attack, but also the route of retreat.
"Let the armies on both sides retreat first, and I will follow the evil to block Lu Bu." Zhang Yu said.
At this time, Zhang Yu and the others were hit and suffered great losses, so far, they have lost more than 20,000 people.
"Report, lord, the Yuan army on the right has set fire to the camp." A soldier reported.
Burning a large camp is a habitual means of attack, which usually causes confusion in the army.
But Zhang Yu and they didn't have this concern, they had done a good job of fire prevention, and the barracks would be separated from each other at a distance, not to mention that they were going to retreat now.
Zhang Yu did not give a new order, but only accelerated the retreat.
Finally, Zhang Yu and the others retreated to the designated place.
"Shoot the arrows and stop them."
Yu Ban was already preparing in the back, and when he saw Zhang Yu and them retreating, he let the archers who had already been ambushed start attacking.
This is an ambush location set up by Zhang Yu on the way to retreat.
Thousands of ambushed archers began to attack, covering Zhang Yu and their retreat.
Under the cover of the archers, the enemy did not dare to pursue too closely, and Zhang Yu and they successfully retreated.
"Lord, it's ready." Yu Ban stepped forward and said loudly.
"Okay, it's important to retreat, count as many enemies as you can kill, don't fall in love with war." Zhang Yu said.
Zhang Yu and the others did not retreat immediately, but set up defenses here.
In order to lure the enemy, Zhang Yu took the lead in leading people to retreat and retreated quickly.
Lu Bu was anxious, Cao Ren was anxious, and Yuan Jun was also anxious.
In order to kill Zhang Yu tonight, at least it will be a heavy blow, how can Zhang Yu and them escape like this.
