109 is under siege
In Zhuxu City, Zhang Yan, Kong Rong and others were still happy that they had repelled Yuan Shao's army again, but they didn't want the two heavy infantry to return from outside the city, saying that hundreds of heavy infantry were surrounded by Yuan's army five miles outside the city, and begged Zhang Yan to send troops to help.
As soon as Zhang Yan heard the news, he immediately sent Niu Jin to lead a thousand heavy infantry to the rescue, and he asked Xu Chu and Tai Shici to lead a heavy cavalry to detour back to the two flanks of Yuan's army and attack from behind. As for himself, he personally led Xu Sheng and other heavy infantry to follow closely behind Niu Jin.
After the order was completed, Niu Jin, Xu Chu, and Tai Shici led the army first, and Zhang Yan left 300 heavy infantry and Zhang Hong to guard Zhuxu City, and gathered soldiers and horses to the city gate.
Kong Rong, Zhang Hong, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others were sent to the city gate together, before leaving, Zhang Yan glanced at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and then arched his hand and said: "Lord Liu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are invincible, I wonder if Lord Liu can let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei go with me?" ”
Before Liu Bei could speak, Zhang Fei couldn't bear to rub his hands, and immediately agreed: "Zhang Yuanjun, my second brother and I have long wanted to teach Yuan Jun a lesson, even if you don't speak, I am ready to go with my second brother!" ”
Zhang Yan hurriedly picked up the conversation and said loudly: "In this case, without further ado, you two can listen to my orders for the time being, and we will go together to kill Yuan Jun without leaving a single piece of armor!" ”
Zhang Fei nodded, tightened the Zhangba snake spear in his hand, and said to Guan Yu: "Second brother, let's go and cut off the head of Yan Liang, the general of the Yuan army, so that those Yuan soldiers can see, our awesomeness!" ”
"Good! That's what I mean! Guan Yu stroked his long hair, and the Danfeng eyes that had been squinting suddenly opened a lot, and a fierce light shot out of his eyes, which made people shudder.
Liu Bei saw that Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were going to go into battle to kill the enemy, and he had nothing to say, so he arched his hand and said: "Since the third brother and the second brother are going, it is inconvenient to stop the brother." Brother and Kong Beihai and Mr. Zhang are waiting for the good news of your triumphant return here! ”
"Big brother, don't worry, we two brothers will not win!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei said in unison.
Zhang Yan turned over and jumped on horseback, rode on the dark cloud snow horse, and took Xu Sheng and other heavy infantry, as well as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and set off in a majestic manner.
At this moment, the Yuan army surrounded the hundreds of heavy infantry regiments in Kanxin, and the first row stood with wrestlers armed with blunt weapons, and the Xuzhou soldiers attacked twice, both of which were repelled by these wrestlers, and more than 80 people were directly beaten to death by wrestlers with blunt weapons.
Although the Xuzhou soldiers had the advantage of armor, the Yuan army borrowed blunt weapons to attack, but it achieved a lot of results, at least it could make the Xuzhou soldiers feel palpitations.
These Xuzhou soldiers could not rush out, so they had to regroup together, wait for the opportunity.
Yuan Tan, Guo Tu, and Xu You all rode war horses and stopped at a high post, just enough to watch the entire battlefield.
At this time, a scout quickly ran over from under the high post, came to Yuan Tan, knelt there directly, hugged his fists and said: "Qiyu eldest prince, Zhang Yan led the army, and he has counted all the Zhuxu City and is coming here!" ”
Yuan Tan waved his hand, sent the scout away, and turned his face to Xu You: "Master Xu, what should we do next?" ”
Xu You said: "Zhang Yan led the army out of Zhuxu City, then Zhu Xucheng must be empty, and the eldest prince can order Zhang He to lead a cavalry, bypass the Xuzhou soldiers, and directly attack Zhu Xucheng." When the Xuzhou soldiers arrived, they let them enter the middle of the road, and then ordered Chun Yuqiong, Jiang Qi, Zhang Nan, Jiao Touch, etc. to lead a team of wrestlers to guard the east, south, west, and north sides, and Yan Liang and Han Meng each led the elite to ambush both sides, ready to fight with fire oil, and stood by at all times. Then organize 2,000 archers on both sides of the hill to standby, once the fierce fire oil is thrown, it will be shot with rockets, once the fire starts, then the Xuzhou soldiers can be broken in a battle! ”
After Yuan Tan heard this, hahadaxiao got up and said to Xu You: "I really didn't expect that Xu Junshi would have such a clever plan. In this way, if there is no accident, the Xuzhou soldiers can be completely annihilated. In this way, the soldiers who died under Zhuxu City before also died well. ”
After Guo Tu heard this, there was a slight displeasure on his face, and even when he looked at Xu You's eyes, there was a trace of hostility.
Xu You had long been aware of Guo Tu's expression, but he was indifferent to Guo Tu's hostility, smiling and brushing the green beard on his chin, paying close attention to the entire battlefield.
Yuan Tan immediately made some arrangements according to Xu You's strategy, and Zhang He led a light cavalry and quickly left here, making a detour to other places, just to avoid the Xuzhou soldiers. And Yan Liang, Han Meng, Chun Yuqiong, Jiang Qi, Zhang Nan, Jiao Touch and others were fully prepared and ready for battle.
The Yuan army on this side has just been dispatched, and Niu Jin led a thousand heavy infantry to kill from the west, and the soldiers of the Yuan army followed Yuan Tan's orders and put Niu Jin and others into the encirclement, but when they wanted to leave again, they were obstructed by the wrestlers with blunt weapons led by Chun Yuqiong, Jiang Qi, Zhang Nan, Jiao Touch and others, and they were never able to break out of the encirclement.
It didn't take long for the heavy cavalry led by Tai Shi Ci and Xu Chu to kill from the left and right flanks respectively, and the Yuan army avoided fighting without fighting, and the rapid battle circle widened outward, but instead surrounded all the heavy cavalry such as Tai Shi Ci and Xu Chu.
Yuan Jun's abnormal behavior immediately attracted Tai Shici's attention, he looked around, but saw that Yuan Jun was everywhere, had completely surrounded them, and he was also very comfortable in his actions, obviously under command.
His eyes suddenly stayed on the high post, but he saw Yuan Tan, Guo Tu, Xu You and others standing there looking out, and beside them, there was a flag bearer waving the flag and waving the flag. Without saying a word, he immediately took out his great bow, drew his bow and arrows, and shot at the flag-bearer.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow came out of the string and pierced the sky, and the standard-bearer was defenseless, and was shot through the throat by Tai Shici's arrow, and immediately fell to the ground, dying.
This scene frightened Yuan Tan, Guo Tu, Xu You and others, and Guo Tu immediately shouted: "Protect the eldest prince!" ”
Before the voice fell, Tai Shici's second feather arrow had already shot over, and Yuan Tan was even more surprised when he saw this, and hurriedly crouched on the horse's back and dodged over.
The arrow hit Yuan Tan's helmet cherry and continued to fly backwards, but when he heard a muffled sound of "poof", the arrow hit the heart of a personal soldier behind Yuan Tan, and the personal soldier fell to the ground and died.
Yuan Tan, Guo Tu, and Xu You all got off the high post, not daring to show their heads again, Yuan Tan was even more angry and said: "Attack!" Attack! Set fire to them! ”
After hearing this, Xu You hurriedly persuaded: "Eldest prince, it is a little too early to attack at this time, it is better to wait for all the Xuzhou soldiers to arrive, and then it is not too late to attack!" ”
"My son's life is almost gone, I can't care so much, attack immediately!" Yuan Tan insisted on going his own way.
Xu You couldn't persuade him, so he could only sigh lightly.
With Yuan Tan's order, the war drums sounded, and Yan Liang and Han Meng, who had already been ambushed on both sides, immediately appeared with soldiers and horses, and threw all the fierce fire oil in their hands into the besieged Xuzhou soldiers.
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Smack......"
A crisp sound sounded in the ranks of the Xuzhou soldiers, and streams of liquid continued to flow out of the jar, and some were splashed all around.
Because the Xuzhou soldiers were wearing heavy armor and steel helmets, they were all unscathed, but this liquid attracted Niu Jin's curiosity.
Niu Jin touched the liquid, put it under his nose and smelled it, his face immediately changed color, and he yelled: "It's not good! It's fierce fire oil! Yuan Jun is going to attack with fire, everyone rush out! ”
Tai Shici, Xu Chu and others were all panicked, and rushed out on horseback, just left here, hundreds of arrows with fire, scattered like flying in the sky, once the fierce fire oil touched the Mars, it immediately burned violently, and the burning fire soon became a piece, and the place where the Xuzhou soldiers were located immediately became a sea of fire.
The fire was together, the Xuzhou soldiers were panicked, the war horses neighed, screamed again and again, and some of the heavy infantry were already on fire, even if they were protected by heavy armor, but in the face of such a ruthless fire, they were helpless.
At this moment, both heavy cavalry and heavy infantry, in order to survive and get out of the sea of fire, are desperately rushing in all directions.
And Yuan Jun had already made preparations, Chun Yuqiong, Jiang Qi, Zhang Nan, and Jiao Touch led the wrestlers with blunt weapons to defend to the death, and waved the blunt weapon in their hands to hit the body of the Xuzhou soldiers, and the Xuzhou soldiers suffered continuous casualties.
However, the heavy cavalry led by Tai Shi Ci and Xu Chu each fought a bloody way, and they were about to break out of the encirclement, but they didn't want to be thrown over by the soldiers led by Yan Liang and Han Meng A few jars of fierce fire oil, the rockets caught fire, and the flames instantly became one, blocking Tai Shi Ci and Xu Chu's way out, and forcing them back.
Niu Jin led the heavy infantry with the determination to die, and ran rampant against the Yuan army, killing more than a dozen wrestlers in a row, killing a gap, and was also forced back by Yan Liang and Han Meng in the same way.
For a while, in the encirclement of the Yuan army, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and Yan Liang and Han Meng were still leading the people to continuously throw the fierce fire oil, no one could predict where the fierce fire oil would fall, but they felt that there was fire everywhere, and there seemed to be no way out.
Yuan Tan climbed the high post again, and when he saw the chaotic appearance of the Xuzhou soldiers under the high post being burned by the flames, he immediately smiled and ordered: "Burn!" Burn them and leave not a single one! ”
Tai Shici, Xu Chu, Niu Jin and others were besieged here, and they never broke through, and they had to endure the torment of the fire, so they all decided to break through again.
At this moment, there was a sudden chaos behind Yuan Jun, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took the lead, raising swords and guns at the same time, and directly entered Yuan Jun's camp, and Yuan Jun had no one to stop him.
Zhang Yan and Xu Sheng followed closely behind Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the heavy infantry also swarmed up, and a group of people were like tigers and wolves, directly tearing Yuan Jun apart.
