Chapter Twenty-Three: The Battle of Chenliu (Part II)

Just when Li Li and Fan Yong were whispering, Li Dian led nearly 2,000 remnants of the soldiers to fight bravely, went back to the gate of the Yuan, and met with the 3,000 foot soldiers led by Bo Cai, and fought fiercely.

This time, the 3,500 foot cavalry led by Li Dian and Xiahoudun were all elite soldiers under Cao Cao; The 500 battle light cavalry led by Xiahoudun is a war cavalry composed of his 300 parts and 200 personal soldiers.

These foot soldiers were originally trained by Li Dian and Yu Ban.

Therefore, he led the remnants of the army to fight at the moment, which was very orderly, and the foot soldiers could also follow him closely, fighting steadily, and gradually approaching the gate.

The way to life is in front of him, driven by the instinct of survival, Li Dian's department is extremely brave, has a high will to fight, and is not afraid of death.

Under the firelight, the broadsword and the broadsword collided violently, sparks flew everywhere, and the sound of criticism was loud; The shouts of killing and the screams blended, and the sound shook for dozens of miles.

Li Dian was wearing black armor and a silver hood, and at first glance he was the leading general of this attack camp.

In addition, he is strong in martial arts, extremely brave, and there is no one under the knife, and everywhere he passes, the heads have fallen one after another, and dozens of Xiliang foot soldiers have died tragically under his knife so far.

During the fight, Bo Cai had been eyeing Li Dian for a long time, but he couldn't kill the enemy soldiers who fought back to the death for a while, so he didn't meet Li Dian.

Now it's different, Li Dian rushed from the inside out to kill, and sent it to the door himself, Bo Cai categorically would not miss the opportunity to kill the enemy general like this.

In silence, Bo Cai quickly slashed a few enemy soldiers who were in the way, and approached Li Dian who was fighting frantically step by step.

At this moment, Li Dian has fallen into a semi-crazy state, blindly rushing and fighting, only attacking and not defending, just like a desperate Saburo Jiashi, extremely brave.

"Boom!"

Just as Li Dian was in the middle of his fight, a sudden big knife slashed at him head-on with the power of thunder.

Na Zeze's shining blade roared with a strong air current, forcing Li Dian's heart to tremble, and he raised his big knife to block it without thinking.

Due to the suddenness of the attack, he didn't have time to use enough strength to resist, and the knife he blocked casually only had fifty percent of his strength.

"Bell!"

With a loud sound, Li Dian's knife-holding arms trembled again and again, the tiger's mouth cracked, the blood flowed like an infusion, he took six steps back in a row, and knocked two of his soldiers away, and finally stabilized his body.

The moment he stood firm under his feet, Li Dian snorted coldly, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth; It is obviously caused by serious injuries to the internal organs, suffocation in the chest, and blood and qi surge.

"Who are you? Why have I never seen you before among the generals of the Xiliang Army? ”

After being injured by a blow, Li Dian's heart was horrified, and his desperate heart, which had originally fallen into a semi-crazy state, disappeared in an instant, and his brain was extremely sober.

At this time, if he can't resist this bearded Xiliang warrior, then he will die, and it will be difficult to live.

People who have thoughts of suicide will especially spare their lives once death is really approaching. Because he doesn't really want to die, but a kind of catharsis when he is emotionally depressed.

The current Li Dian is actually like this.

In fact, he didn't want to die at all, but Xiahoudun died in battle.

When he thought of the vicious hatred of the generals of the Cao clan, he knew that he could not escape the blame, and he couldn't explain it clearly, because when it came to the sky, Xiahou was dead, but he was still alive. Those Cao family members will not let go of themselves, they will definitely be angry with themselves, and sooner or later they will be ruthless.

Therefore, he didn't want to die before, but he had no way to survive and was disheartened.

Now, death is really coming, and the bearded generals in the Xiliang army are extremely martial arts, and Liliang is huge, and he hits Li Dian hard with one blow.

This made him soberly realize his current situation, death is so easy, and survival is the hardest.

After Bo Cai injured Li Dian with one blow, he did not immediately pursue, but killed several enemy soldiers who did not know whether they were alive or dead with his backhand, and approached Li Dian again.

"My name is Bocai. Who are you? Zhang Miao has a strong martial arts general like you, why didn't he see you a few days ago? ”

After Li Dian heard this, he said with disdain: "Zhang Miao? It's just a household dog, and he's worthy of being my lord?

I am Li Dian, the word Mancheng, and now I am the captain of Cao Cao, the Taishou of Dongjun, and I am here to help Zhang Miao defend the city. A few days ago, we have been hiding, it is the statue of Miao who treats us as strange soldiers, and tonight is the first time to fight. I didn't expect that... Alas! ”

Bo knew that if his name was associated with the Yellow Turbans, many people might have heard of it; If it's just a simple name and don't say anything, I'm afraid that few people in the world can remember their origins.

He heard a hint of decadence in Li Dian's words, or rather a sense of frustration.

"Now you're in a desperate situation, and you won't be able to fly even if you put on your wings! Surrender and join my lord. It's your only chance to survive, and perhaps, it's a very good choice! ”

Li Dian shook his head without hesitation and said, "Li Dao? Guo Yan? No, I'd rather die in battle than go to such a murderer!

Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people died tragically in the hands of the two of them, and I defected to them, wouldn't I be acting for the tiger and helping the abuse? ”

Bo Cai shook his head slightly and said, "No, my lord is not the two people you said. The lord's name is Li Li, and now his parents are dead, and he is now the supervisor of our army, and Sima of the other departments of the Longxiang battalion.

Don't despise my lord, he is only sixteen years old now, he entered the barracks half a year ago, and he has made many military exploits, and he will be promoted to captain in a few days, and he may even be a marquis.

Four days ago, the lord advised the Xiliang generals not to plunder the people of Chenliu, and they would not do such things that hurt the people again. Because the lord now supervises the military discipline of the whole army, strictly enforces the law, is fair and strict, and no one dares to violate military regulations. ”

"Lili? But half a month ago, he defeated the 30,000-strong army of the chariot general Zhu Jun with thousands of soldiers and horses, and captured him alive. ”

Li Dian asked in amazement.

Bo Cai responded: "That's right, that's my father-in-law!" Although the reputation of the Xiliang Army is not very good, my lord is a rare good person, who has never bullied the common people, and strictly restricts the army and does not offend the people. ”

"Good guys? Haha! Could it be that General Zhu Jun, a famous general of a generation, is a bad person? Hugh has to say more, Bocai, I will definitely not serve the Xiliang generals! Death is nothing but death, what am I afraid of? ”

After all, Li Dian still couldn't believe Bocai's words, and he didn't believe that Li Li was really as good as he said.

"Toast without eating and eating and drinking. Li Dian, you dare to despise my lord, this is your own death, then I will fulfill you, go to death! ”

Seeing that Li Dian was so ignorant, Bo Cai was immediately furious, and as he spoke, the big knife in his hand slashed at Li Dian again.

Li Dian's martial arts are actually at the level of a first-class intermediate level, which is comparable to Li Li at this time, and may not be as strong as Li Li's strength.

He is not a military general who ranks among the generals under Cao Cao with his martial arts, but a wise general who is honest and strict, and is good at training troops and defending the city.

Don't underestimate the ability to guard the city, in fact, Lu Su, the second metropolitan governor of Eastern Wu in historical materials, is a Confucian general who is extremely good at defending the city, and has been able to defend Eastern Wu for more than 20 years.

With Li Dian's first-class mid-level martial arts, he is definitely not the opponent of Bocai who has first-class peak strength.

Bocai's martial arts are between the first-class peak and the top generals, and the gap is not small compared to the real top generals; But among the generals with first-class skills, it is definitely the strongest existence.

Therefore, twenty rounds later, Li Dian suffered another heavy blow, fell to the ground, and was unable to fight again.

Bocai immediately ordered someone to kidnap him and temporarily escort him back to the camp to be guarded, waiting for Li Li's treatment.

Li Dian's miss and capture was definitely a fatal blow to the more than 1,000 Cao Army foot soldiers who were brave and desperate.

After a while, their fighting spirit collapsed, and they gave up their resistance one after another, surrendered their heads, and became Li Li's prisoners.

At this point, the battle of night raids, which lasted for most of the hour, came to an end.

Because Li Li had made proper arrangements in advance, he lured the enemy into depth, so that he could easily annihilate the incoming enemy, and none of the 3,500 people below Li Dian escaped the net.

In this battle, more than 2,500 Cao soldiers were captured alive, hundreds were killed, and the remaining 500 light horsemen and hundreds of foot soldiers all died in the pit.

In the pit, nearly 800 Cao soldiers died here, and more than 300 war horses also died in the pit. The corpses of people and horses were squeezed together, many of the corpses were broken arms, and their heads were in different places, and some Cao soldiers were soaked in blood, and their flesh and blood were blurred, and they were impossible to identify at all.

In the early hours of the morning, because thousands of corpses and dead horses were at the gate of the camp, it was extremely inconvenient and affected the passage of the army.

So immediately after the war, Li Li ordered people to clean up the corpses, asked them to pull them to the valley east of the camp by horse-drawn carts, and covered the corpses with a layer of loess.

It's just that the soldiers who buried the corpse did not strictly follow Li Li's explanation, and after throwing the corpse, they hastily raised a few handfuls of loess, and then turned around and returned to the camp.

Soon after the soldiers had gone, a tall, blood-soaked figure crawled out of the pile of dead men, swayed and staggered along the ridge of the hill to the east.
