On the battlefield of Longshouyuan, it was a different scene. Liu Bei led the army to fully invade the left flank of the Liang army. The Xianbei and the Huns entangled Zhang Ji and Li Jue. He led the remaining army directly at Niu.
The battle line unfolds in front of the auxiliary department.
The right wing was deployed by Tian Yu's troops and quickly inserted between Niu Fu's and Jia Xu's troops. The left wing was deployed by Yang Hui's troops and blocked his troops' southward path. Liu Bei was among Wei Gu and Taishi Ci's troops, pressing straight from the east.
The momentum of more than 30,000 people galloping was like a big net surrounding the Liang people. It quickly opened up, and the smoke and dust filled the air into waves, constantly covering the Liang people, forming a three-sided trap.
Niu Fu quickly reacted. After all, Niu Fu's intention to merge and encircle Niu Fu was too obvious. In response, the knights in the front line followed the drums and fought forward. They fought before the merging formation was deployed, hoping to use their flesh and blood to hinder the encirclement.
.
Leading this group of knights was Niu Fu's younger brother Niu Dan. He knew that the most important place was the right wing. As long as the right wing was safe and Jia Xu's troops came to assist, the army would be able to ensure its advantage. But although he thought well,
, but Liu Bei was more determined. In order to ensure that this attack could gain enough advantage, the most elite knights among his generals were assigned to Taishi Ci, who was definitely not comparable to Niu Dan.
The cavalry of the two armies rushed towards each other with arrows, and the iron horses collided with each other. Those who were not strong enough were quickly knocked aside. What's worse, many horses were knocked down by brute force, and the knights also fell to the ground. Those who were later
The enemy who followed them stretched out their spears and stabbed the people and horses on the ground repeatedly.
Comparatively speaking, there are still more cavalry in the merging army. Even if some cavalry are tall and powerful, they will fall into a dilemma of exhaustion after knocking down one or two knights. Then they will be knocked to the ground by the merging cavalry who are coming from behind.
The army cavalry staggered each other, and when they turned back, they suffered considerable losses. The combined cavalry had no intention of repeated collisions, because there were more reinforcements behind them, so they ran directly to the flanks.
Seeing this, Niu Fu was helpless and sighed to his subordinates: "It's a pity that Zhihu Chi'er and others are not here, otherwise how could we not stop these mediocre dogs." As soon as he said this, the surrounding subordinates all changed their expressions and started fighting.
By speaking like this in front of the formation, aren't they complaining that the generals are not brave? Fortunately, Niu Fu said: "I am willing to break the formation myself, and you can go with me?"
All his subordinates solemnly said: "I am willing to live and die with the general."
So Niu Fu gathered the cavalry again, and indeed led the army to kill on the right wing. Niu Fu's status in the Liang army has declined now, but before, as a relative of Dong Zhuo, he was very noble. He was wearing golden Mingguang armor and a belt with gold nails.
, dazzling and dazzling, which showed his noble status. In addition, as soon as he appeared, the morale of the Liang army was greatly boosted. Many people realized that the one who came out must be a noble person in the army!
Liu Bei saw this scene from a distance in the middle of the army and saw its crimson bear-headed flag. He couldn't help but smile and said: "I'm afraid only Niu Fu can be so eye-catching on the battlefield."
Yang Hui said in confusion: "Although he rides on a precious horse and comes and goes like the wind, isn't he looking for death in such a swagger?"
Xu Shu said: "I heard my teacher say that although Niu Fu was far inferior to Xu, Li and Guo in terms of military strategy, when he went to war with Dong Zhuo, he was always the first to reach Xiliang and had no opponent. Dong Zhuo valued him.
He was entrusted with important responsibilities and married with his eldest daughter. During the Battle of Meiyang, Dong Zhuo was able to escape unscathed, all thanks to this man's fight to the death. Thinking about it today, he probably really believed in his own bravery!"
Liu Bei threw the tail of his whip to the ground and said with a sneer: "It's just a common man! I have all tiger-catching warriors under my command. Today I am sending out the best to destroy him here!" Then he ordered: "Tai Shi Ci, Liu Mi, Wei Gu,
After Helianchi, Wang Sheng and Wen You led the troops to charge. If anyone kills the head of Niu Fu, I will report it to the emperor and make him a county prince!"
Liu Bei saw Taishi Ci's men changing their horses and dressing up nearby, so he rode his horse over and said to Taishi Ci: "In the battle of Huanshui, I relied on your arrows to protect me safely. I have placed great hope in you for killing Niu Fu today.
Try your best!"
When Taishi Ci and his soldiers heard this, their courage doubled. The knights slammed their swords on the ground and shouted angrily: "If you don't kill Niu Fu! I swear you won't return to the army!"
Now the Liang army was outnumbered by less than half of Liu Bei's men, and they were encircled. The combined army had the upper hand, and their morale was extremely high. After hearing the reward for beheading, they became even more excited. They rushed to get their horses first and ran towards Niu Fu. Suddenly there was thunder.
The sound of horse hooves mixed with the billowing waves of yellow dust rushed towards the exposed Ushifu team.
Niu Fu's team are all veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. They have long been used to this situation. They don't need Niu Fu to command or encourage them, and they continue to run north unmoved. Wait until these things happen.
As the people approached, without any warning, they suddenly stopped their horses and fired back, and the arrows suddenly flew out like an unexpected rain shower.
They obviously didn't observe carefully, but when they fired, these arrows were fast and steady. Some knights were hit by an arrow in the heart, and before they could scream, another arrow hit the arrow in front of them.
It flew in and pierced their left chest.
Niu Fu himself was carrying a specially made bow and arrow. In addition to various common armor-piercing arrows and hunting arrows, it also had shovel-head arrows, and it was equipped with an extremely long six-foot long bow. He just used this
The long bow fired a shovel-head arrow. The shovel-headed arrow flew from the air and broke a man's neck. After the head fell off, blood gushed out like a fountain, but the body continued to hold the horse's reins and drove forward as usual.
, people around looked at this scene and felt a little fear.
Taishi Ci rushed over at this time. When he saw this situation, he knew that he could not break Niu Fu's armor, so he took off his three-stone bow and shot Niu Fu's left and right soldiers first. The first arrow went down and penetrated the ear of a horse.
, he drove his horse to move, and shot the second arrow, hitting a Liang man in the elbow, and then retreated slightly, and the third arrow hit a Liang man's throat, dodging several arrows in the process.
Niu Fu knew that he had met his opponent, so he said to Fan Duan, the military commander beside him: "There are good men among the soldiers. We can't win easily. Their goal is me. You lead the people to kill first, and let Jia Xiaowei lead his troops."
Come and save me, otherwise if our troops are defeated, the entire left wing will be collapsed!"
Fan Duan immediately agreed and led half of the cavalry to separate from Niu Fu. However, he had a preconceived idea. He first pretended to go south and returned to his own formation. After most of the people had killed Niu Fu, he suddenly changed direction and headed towards Long.
Running up the Shouyuan ridge, this carbine caught the guarding Tian Yu off guard, causing him to break out. However, the others did not care about this troop. They were eager to encircle Niu Fu, and the encirclement on three sides became more and more serious.
The tighter the situation, the Niu Fu army is already engaged on all fronts.
When they arrived at Jia Xu's tribe, Jia Xu and Wang Fang were originally advancing eastward. During this period, they continued to send troops and generals to assist Zhang Ji, hoping to repel the Huns first, cut the enemy's left and right flanks, and then defeat them to win.
When Fan Duan came to ask for help, it went against their plan, and Jia Xu fell into a difficult situation for a while.
He thought to himself: "Our army's previous formation was to keep the Chinese army strong for a long time. Now the battle line has stretched for dozens of miles. As the Chinese army, I should advance and retreat together with Zhang Ji. It is not appropriate to side with others."
One wing will cause the war to be unbalanced. But our army is a coalition after all. If Niu Fu is left alone, the defeat of one wing will indeed affect the war situation. However, if our army defeats the enemy's right wing, the outcome will still be 50-50. What should we do?
What?"
Instead, he speculated on Chen Chong's thoughts and decisions, and suddenly he had a bright idea, which made his hair stand on end: If Niu Fu died first, the morale of the army would be shattered! The decision was made instantly, and he loudly said to Wang Fang: "Go south, go south! Niu Fu
We must not lose!"
Nearly 30,000 troops broke away from the battle line and left the ridge, gradually moving closer to the south. It took Fan Duan about an hour to come and go. When he came back, the shadow of the sun in the sky had also disappeared into the clouds. Unknowingly,
, large clouds floated into the originally clear sky, embracing the setting sun in the evening. There was no dim glow, only a faint cyan.
During this period of time, Niu Fu fought hard every moment. There were seventeen arrows inserted into the armor, and he suffered seven stabs from the front and back of the chest. No matter how good the armor was, there was still some blood seeping out at this time.
, when he looked back at the high slope, he saw the black Liang army flying down from the mountains and fields under the blue sky like vultures in the sky. He was extremely happy and laughed and said: "The bandit army has been defeated!"
Tian Yu's tribe was originally prepared for the arrival of Jia Xu's tribe, but when faced with the impact, they realized that their preparations were far from enough. When the 30,000-strong army pressed down from the mountains and fields, they were cut through in an instant like a knife cutting through tissue paper.
His front line was torn to pieces. The troops left by Jia Xu in reserve had been recuperating and had more combat experience. The gap between the two armies could not be measured in miles. There seemed to be no obstacles. The merged troops on the right wing were still besieging and fighting.
, the situation changed completely two quarters of an hour later, and only the elite troops who besieged Niu Fu were left. The rest of the merged army could only reluctantly form a small formation among the enemy troops to protect themselves. Tian Yu's figure and flag were already lost in the process.
Disappeared.
Liu Bei was very angry at this scene. He cursed: "Why is it so ineffective? Let me kill Liang Gou myself!" After that, he was about to lead the army to break the formation, but he was stopped by Xu Shu after trying hard to talk.
Just when both the enemy and ourselves thought that the battle situation was tilting sharply towards the Liang army, there were some noises on the ridge. No one paid attention to it at first, but soon the noises shocked everyone like an earthquake: another army had arrived on the battlefield! At this time, the sky was completely dark, and they could distinguish the shadows of people and flags. They could not see clearly the armor and style of the incoming person. They could only vaguely see a vast shadow, swaying in the half-dark, half-blue light.
They paused for a while, as if surveying the battlefield. Soon, the dark shadows above lit up several torches, and the flames danced under a flag, sometimes bright and sometimes dark. Many people could not see clearly the fonts on the flag. p>
But someone saw it, and both Bing and Liang people in the north saw it clearly: it was the character Zhang! It was not the character Zhang with white borders on a black background, but the character Zhang with red background and brown borders! It was not Zhang from Zhang Ji, it was Zhang.
