Chapter 1059: Liu ran and ran again
Liu Bei stood silently on the river embankment, looking at the northern cavalry on the hill under the command of the horn, reorganizing the queue. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs soon as the front of the car array is opened, they will fall down.
Liu Bei turned his eyes to the gap. The gap is widening. Liu Bei didn't care about the gap, he had no intention of plugging him.
Liu Bei looked up at the gray sky.
It's almost dusk, and victory is in hand.
The soldiers of the Yizhou Army fought less and less, and the damage was very serious.
The soldiers of the Yizhou Army on the east bank of the river valley on the east bank of the Guandu Port, under the command of the officers of various departments, quickly assembled towards the riverbed. The troops that had been deployed on the riverbed earlier had all rushed to the embankment, and most of the soldiers had already entered the battlefield.
Has Fazheng's troops arrived? Did Li Yi receive Lu Bu's request for help and give up ambushing Fazheng?
Li Yi's cavalry came back in a very timely manner, and if it was half a quarter in the evening, the mountain hill would now be the Yizhou army.
Liu Bei thought silently, his face expressionless, as if the battlefield in front of him did not exist at all.
He saw early on that the persuasion of the Northern Frontier Army to surrender was just delaying time. And he just happened to delay time, so he agreed to come down with the boat.
After Zhang Song talked with the Northern Xinjiang Army for a short time, Liu Bei realized that something was wrong with the situation, and immediately called back to Zhang Song to discuss the matter with him.
What kind of tricks did the Northern Frontier Army play?
Zhang Song said: "No matter what strategy Li Yi uses, he has only one purpose, and that is to eat himself." Now Li Yi knew that Fazheng's troops were coming, but he was slow to attack, indicating that he most likely wanted to drag us here, but the main force took the opportunity to raid Fazheng, and now those cavalry in the distance are all under the guise of a front. ”
"If the cavalry in the distance is indeed all the main force of Li Yi, then as long as he breaks through, his cavalry must participate in the battle, even if the positional battle is greatly attritional, he has to fight. The fight is also conducive to Fa Zheng coming safely all the way. If not, it means that Li Yi has already gone with the cavalry to ambush Fa Zheng. ”
"If Li Yi wants to ambush Fa Zheng, he must consider whether we will break through? If we break through, these thousands of soldiers and horses will become our bag, and he will not give up. Moreover, if we break through his resistance, we are also a great threat to his cavalry. So the place of his ambush should not be too far from here. As soon as we launch a breakout battle, he can return in time. ”
"Li Yi's troops are not here, and there is an opportunity for us to destroy Lu Bu in front of us. After annihilating them, the troops moved quickly, buying time and rendezvous with Fazheng. If Li Yi ambushed Fa Zheng on the way, he and Fa Zheng's 20,000 horses would definitely be entangled for a while. Only if we arrive in time, we can completely encircle and annihilate Li Yi. ”
"In terms of time, Fazheng is already almost at the Shennong River. Now is the right time for us to launch a breakout battle. No matter how Li Yi designs and arranges this battle, we are now a sure winner. ”
Liu Bei agreed with Zhang Song, and he immediately ordered his troops to attack.
Although Lu Bu and Gao Chong had been prepared, they were still dizzy by the Yizhou army. 6,000 men were guarding the hill and were attacked by 30,000 troops in a row, and their situation can be imagined.
"Ziqiao, how many people are left?" Liu Bei turned around and asked Zhang Song.
"Twenty thousand people are a little short." Zhang Song reclined on the wheel of the carriage and said lazily.
Liu Bei asked: "Let's attack again and entangle Li Yi's cavalry, what do you think?" ”
Zhang Song stood up, glanced at the Northern Frontier cavalry lined up on the hill with some timidity, and then looked back at the troops assembled on the riverbed, and said very cautiously: "Attack with 10,000 people, I hope he can be fooled." ”
………………
The Yizhou army charged again.
The high pet on the hill scolded fiercely, and roared loudly: "Let go ......"
A dense array of long arrows burst into the sky, and a piercing howl that tore through the air resounded through the air.
The courage of the soldiers of the Yizhou Army was truly admirable, and they turned a blind eye to the whizzing arrows, like a herd of wild horses that had escaped from the horse, and pounced violently on the hill.
With a sound of "......", the long arrows in the sky were empowered, and many soldiers who were rushing were suddenly hit by arrows, and the screams were endless, and more soldiers fell down one after another.
Three rounds of arrows were fired, and the soldiers of the Yizhou Army had already rushed halfway up the mountain. Hundreds of corpses lay on the hillside behind them, and many wounded soldiers rolled on the ground wailing.
The horn sounded again.
The archers of the Northern Frontier Army who were arrayed on the mountainside immediately beat their horses and ran to the sides, giving way to the open space in the middle.
On the hill, Hou Cheng, who had long been unable to bear it, led two thousand cavalry, riding horses and whipping, like a flood bursting the embankment, roaring, roaring, and pouring down.
………………
Liu Bei saw that his soldiers were wantonly slashed and killed by the enemy's cavalry, and he had no power to fight back, and his heart was like a knife.
He ordered the golden gong to be sounded, and ordered the warriors in the valley to quickly withdraw into the chariot formation.
From the bottom of the hill to within a hundred paces of the car formation, the soldiers who did not have time to escape were immediately killed by the cavalry of the Northern Frontier Army.
Li Yi, who was on the hill, saw that the cavalry was about to rush into the range of the Yizhou army's bows and arrows, and immediately ordered to blow the horn to stop the attack.
Dusk has arrived, and the twilight earth is gradually shrouded in a thin layer of mist, and the black curtain is about to be raised.
On the hillsides, in the valleys, there were dead bodies everywhere. The strong smell of blood floated everywhere with the bleak cold wind.
"Husband, Liu Bei took advantage of the terrain and built this defensive vehicle formation with a heavy vehicle is very solid. To completely annihilate him, it is better to tear the gap with infantry. With cavalry, our losses were too great. Li E looked at the position of the Yizhou army and said helplessly.
The cavalry of the Pro-Guard Army and the cavalry of Fengxian's Fourth Legion pursued the enemy and attacked all the way, but they failed to break their chariot formation, but were beaten back, which shows that Liu Bei was prepared for this battle. He put a lot of effort into this car formation. Li Yi pointed to the position of the Yizhou army and said to a group of officers standing behind him, "You see, the slope here is 100 steps long, and the river valley below is 200 steps. But the valley was half taken up by his chariot array, leaving us with only two hundred paces to the impact, and another hundred paces within the range of his bow and arrows. Neither longitudinal nor lateral distances were suitable for our cavalry to attack. ”
Li Yi smiled: "Do you have any tricks to break the enemy?" ”
Dian Wei's face was full of anger, and he shouted loudly: "We used to train infantry to fight. We changed half of the cavalry into infantry, and the infantry and cavalry cooperated, and attacked at the same time, and we were sure to take it. ”
Lu Bu immediately retorted: "No. We can't fight a war of attrition with them. The advantage of cavalry was to run long distances and charge into battle, rather than to storm enemy fortresses. Now we are using cavalry to fight the chariot formation of the Yizhou army, which is simply killing ourselves. ”
Gao Chong also said: "I also agree with Feng Xian's opinion. Now that we have an absolute advantage, coupled with the reinforcements behind us, especially the foot soldiers, will soon arrive, there is no need to fight with the enemy to attrition. The Yizhou army has been trying to capture the hill to break through, and after a long and fierce battle, their losses are far greater than ours. According to my estimates, there are at most half of them left, just look at the dead bodies on the battlefield. Now I can't even find the prongs in the front. We can keep going until we starve them here. ”
………………
Liu Bei looked at the gradually darkening sky, and his mood became heavier and heavier.
Fa Zheng must have eaten Li Yi. Otherwise, he just crawled and crawled.
"Lord, Fa Xiaozhi seems to have an accident?" Zhang Song, who also felt bad, let out a long sigh and said softly.
Liu Bei shook his head, as if he wanted to throw all the things out of his mind.
"It's getting dark, what do you think Li Yi is going to do?" Liu Bei's eyes shot a cold light, and he asked coldly.
Zhang Song looked sadly at the battlefield strewn with corpses in front of him, and there was no squeak.
"Ziqiao......?" Liu Bei raised his voice slightly and called out to him.
Zhang Song shrank his head, as if he couldn't resist the strong wind on the river embankment, and walked to the side of the cart.
Liu Bei looked at him intently, waiting for his answer.
"When we set out from Yizhou, there were 300,000 people, a huge number." Zhang Song smiled bitterly and said self-deprecatingly, "Now there are more than 10,000 of us left." Even if we kill Li Yi and destroy his cavalry, we will be a fiasco, a fiasco of the annihilation of the whole army. ”
Liu Bei glared at him angrily, and said loudly: "Ziqiao, we still have 10,000 people in White Emperor City, and the 100,000 army in Yizhou, why is the whole army destroyed?" As long as we eliminate Li Yi, the Northern Frontier Army is bound to collapse, and the world will be ours. ”
Zhang Song didn't seem to be too lazy to talk to Liu Bei, so he sat under the wheel of the car alone and closed his eyes.
Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Song mockingly, and continued: "We are now like a bloody, dying goat, and Li Yi is like a vicious tiger, circling around us. What he is waiting for now is a chance to kill us with one blow and end our lives once and for all. ”
The corners of Liu Bei's mouth lifted a trace of murderous aura, and he sneered: "Now is the time when he is most negligent. ”
Zhang Songmeng's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise: "Is there a way for the lord?" ”
Liu Bei shook his head and said, "We are so ...... like this"
Zhang Song looked at Liu Bei in disbelief, and said in a loud voice: "Lord, this is ...... Not quite right? ”
Liu Bei glared at Zhang Song and said angrily, "Do you have any other good way to solve the current predicament?" ”
Zhang Song was silent.
………………
After nightfall, the Yizhou army, led by several generals such as Li Yan, Wu Lan and Zhang Yi, took advantage of the cover of night to launch a surprise attack on the northern Xinjiang army.
The battle began again in the night.
However, when no one was paying attention, Liu Bei took Wu Yi, Chen Zhi and three thousand white-eared elite soldiers to quietly evacuate the encirclement of the Northern Xinjiang Army and disappeared into the vast night.
Liu ran and ran again!
