Chapter 662: Liu Jun Flees
Xiahoudun was dozens of steps away from the north gate of the camp, looking at the smoke rising and rolling not far away, the horse whip was slapped in his hand, and he said to King Youxian: "Leave 10,000 horsemen on guard, and the rest of the army will temporarily return to the camp to rest!" ”
"No!" The right sage king hugged his fist and promised.
Moments later, the Wei brigade returned to its own camp and rested: 10,000 Xianbei cavalry were in charge of monitoring the perimeter of Liu's camp.
The fire lasted until the evening when it was gradually extinguished, and the entire outer camp had been reduced to ruins, and Huo Jun and his generals looked very embarrassed, with a sluggish expression on their faces, as if they had been fished out of oil.
At this moment, Xiahoudun led tens of thousands of troops to appear in the wilderness outside the camp, seeing such a scene, the soldiers of the Liu army, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't help but sink their hearts.
"It seems that this Xiahoudun wants to kill them all! Command all armies to prepare for battle! Huo Jun said in a deep voice.
At this time, Xiahoudun looked at the Liu Jun Dazhai not far away, laughed, and immediately ordered the Xianbei cavalry to attack, and the Xianbei cavalry, who had been waiting impatiently, roared and rushed into the outer camp that had turned into a ruin, crossed the fire ditch that had long been extinguished, and galloped around outside the ditch of Lizhai, and at the same time released arrows to the soldiers of Liu Jun in Lizhai.
At the same time, the 20,000 elites of the Fourth Army of the Wei Army have also entered the outer camp, and they are coming towards the gate of the village, which is a two-fold structure, the outer layer is a suspension bridge, and under it is a trench with a sharp pile inserted into three meters deep.
On both sides of the walled gate there are several arrow towers.
The 20,000 elites of the Fourth Legion stopped about fifty paces from the gate of the village, and at this time, a sparse array of arrows flew out of the village. Because the crossbowmen of the Liu army were distracted by the Xianbei cavalry who were shooting, there were not many crossbowmen who directly attacked the Fourth Legion.
Hundreds of tower shieldmen under the command of the Fourth Legion formed a tight shield line and pressed towards the gate of the fortress without hurrying. Hundreds of other soldiers were hiding behind the tower shield line, and they carried a dozen powerful crossbows that were much larger than the average individual crossbow!
This crossbow is a powerful crossbow that can be used by three people. The arrows used were much heavier than ordinary arrows, like short spears, much more powerful than individual crossbows, and they could carry small canisters of fire oil and other things, and behind them were nearly 20,000 soldiers of the Fourth Legion.
Under the cover of the tower shield, the strong crossbowmen advanced to a place only more than 20 steps away from the walled gate, stopped, and the strong crossbowmen began to draw the string of arrows under the cover of the tower shield, and there were two kinds of arrows on the strong crossbow. One arrow is much larger than a normal arrow, but there is no difference in appearance, and the other is very different from a normal arrow!
Its arrow is a crescent blade, several inches wide, but it is actually designed to break through targets such as drawbridge ropes. After the arrows are attached, a special small canister of oil is tied to the ordinary arrows.
Immediately after, after the rain of arrows from the other party, the tower shield hand immediately spread out to both sides, and dozens of strong crossbows immediately revealed their true faces. Without waiting for Liu Jun to react, dozens of strong crossbows shot together violently.
The arrows of the crescent blade arrow broke the rope that hung the drawbridge, and the drawbridge fell with a thud. At the same time, the arrows tied to the thunder were almost fired at the gate of the wall. Immediately, huge flames rose into the sky almost at the same time.
After the smoke and dust cleared, I saw that the gate of the village had almost been burned to the ground, and the arrow towers on both sides were also caught in flames. Xiahoudun immediately ordered the Xianbei cavalry to charge.
Tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry immediately stopped shooting and quickly gathered together. The monster roared and rushed into the village, but it crashed into Liu Jun's spear line.
The Xianbei cavalry became entangled with the opposing pikemen in a narrow environment. It seemed very unfavorable, and there were constantly Xianbei cavalry who were dismounted by the opposing pikemen.
However, the situation of Liu Jun was not very good, Liu Jun's pikemen were constantly trampled by iron hooves under the charge of the Xianbei cavalry, and Liu Jun's soldiers looked very tired, obviously spending too much energy in the previous smoke and fire.
Just when the two sides were stalemate, the 20,000 foot soldiers of the Fourth Army of the Wei Army entered the village, and as soon as the 20,000 foot soldiers joined the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield began to tilt in favor of the Wei army.
The scuffle lasted for about half an hour, and Liu Jun was finally about to collapse.
A soldier of Liu Jun suddenly dropped his comrades who were fighting bloodily, dropped his weapons and turned around and ran towards Chaohu Lake, his behavior was like the first domino of a fallen domino, and then more and more soldiers fled, and the scene became more and more chaotic and uncontrollable.
The morale of the Wei army was greatly boosted, and the tail of the tail was pursued.
Just when Liu's army was completely defeated, a flame suddenly rose in the center of the village, and then the flames quickly spread, and at this time, the wind was fierce.
Seeing this scene, Xiahoudun couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat, and after a while, most of the soldiers of the Wei army retreated to a safe place, and there were still about 2,000 soldiers trapped in the village, at this moment the flames in the village were raging, and in the dark night, it was like a monster coming out of hell.
"Are they all out?" Xiahoudun frowned and asked.
A lieutenant replied with a not very good face: "There are almost 2,000 brothers trapped inside, just afraid"
Xiahoudun shook his horsewhip violently: "Damn! Huo Jun really dares to do it! There were at least six or seven thousand of his own men trapped! ”
At this moment, Xu Shu rode a horse and hurried towards Xiahoudun, came to Xiahoudun, glanced at the monstrous flames not far away, and said, "The general should immediately bypass here and rush towards Chaohu Lake!" ”
"Why is that?" Xiahoudun asked with a frown.
Xu Shu explained: "I have just received information that the Wu Guoshui Division has arrived at the shore of the lake just a few miles away from here! Huo Jun did this just to buy time for the retreat! ”
Xiahou frowned even tighter, turned his head and ordered to the Right Virtuous King: "Take your cavalry and follow Ben immediately!" You're in charge here! ”
Xiahou Dun's last sentence was said to Xu Shu, and he rushed towards the northwest after the words fell, and King Youxian hurriedly let out a roar to the 10,000 cavalry under his command, and then led more than 10,000 cavalry to follow.
Xiahoudun led more than 10,000 Xianbei cavalry to bypass the camp surrounded by flames and gallop straight towards the river.
At the same time, Huo Jun led nearly 10,000 remnants of the army to retreat to Chaohu Lake, and was hurriedly boarding the boat, there were more than 300 large boats on the river, and one-third of them had already leaned on the shore of the lake. (To be continued.) )
