Chapter 263 Xiahou Yuan is too big, Cheng Li is going to kill and surrender? The rhythm is completely messed up!
"Damn it!"
Ma Kui chewed it secretly, feeling terrified in his heart.
How could he not know that his camp was not strong enough?
but......
Even so, being dragged down by a small team in front of him was equally shocking.
Now, the large group of soldiers and horses are exposed in front of the cavalry squad like this, just like exposing their bare chest to the enemy's spearhead. How can it be dangerous?
How dare Ma Kui hesitate for a moment, and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "Form up to defend against the enemy, shoot arrows for me!"
The soldiers who had been frightened for a long time suddenly came to their senses. They raised their spears and drew their bows, trying to integrate defense and offense in an attempt to kill this small team in front of the camp.
.
But......
When there was a camp gate for defense, this small team could not be killed.
Now that the camp gate has fallen to the ground, how can it help this small team?
When the soldiers in the camp raised their spears and drew their bows, Zhang Fei reacted extremely quickly and immediately let out a roar of thunder: "Drink! How dare you, thief!"
At the same time, he quickly tightened the reins and clamped the horse's belly. When he sat down, the horse suddenly raised its head and neighed, leaped up with its front hooves, and instantly crossed the gate and broke into the camp.
Phew! Phew!
The war horse fell down and was trampled, killing two people.
He was surrounded as soon as he landed, but Zhang Fei didn't panic at all. The snake spear in his palm kept dancing, and he used a move as fast as lightning to swing the willow in the wind. In just the blink of an eye, all the spears thrust from all around were knocked away by it.
It didn't hurt at all.
As a brave man from You Yan, Zhang Fei has been proficient in equestrian skills since he was a child, and various equestrian movements have almost been integrated into his flesh and blood. The war horse is as obedient to him as his own son, walking, sitting, lying, and jumping without difficulty at all.
Because of this, Zhang Fei was able to ride his horse over the gate at the critical moment, break into the enemy's formation, raise his spear, and start killing. In terms of riding skills alone, even Guan Yu was no match for him.
"kill-!"
This roar.
It shocked the world and was deafening.
The soldiers in the camp were so frightened that they were all scared to death and feared to avoid him, so they did not dare to fight again.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Fei swung his snake spear and used his backhand to sweep away thousands of troops in a very wide range. The frightened soldiers and horses around him were all defenseless and were killed by his spear and swept away on the spot.
What’s even worse is!
Just when Zhang Fei attracted the enemy's attention, Guan Yu made a breakthrough, picked off several soldiers in the flying camp one after another, and tore a hole open so that the Cheng family servants who followed him could enter through the breakthrough.
"Kill with me!"
Guan Yu gave an order and led the Cheng family servants to break into the enemy camp. Relying on the powerful impact of the war horses, they continued to charge and trample on the enemy camp, making the enemy's formation more chaotic and making it difficult to organize an effective counterattack.
At this moment, Liu Bei also rushed into the formation and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Yun Chang!"
Guan Yu stabbed an enemy soldier to death with one spear. He already knew Liu Bei's intention without saying anything: "Brother, don't worry."
At that moment, Liu Bei and Guan Yu each led several cavalry and detoured from the left and right sides respectively to echo Zhang Fei who was fighting fiercely in the formation. The three brothers had the same mind and cooperated with each other very well.
It seemed like just a blink of an eye.
The soldiers and horses in the camp were in chaos, fighting on their own without any order at all.
Ma Kui was so angry that his eyes nearly popped out. He held a spear and gritted his teeth and roared: "No more chaos, no more chaos. Listen to my orders and form a formation to defend against the enemy!"
"Quickly form a formation to defend against the enemy!!!"
If simply shouting twice can make the army return to military formation and remain calm, then military generals all over the world only need to practice their voices, so there is no need to learn any art of war.
No matter how hoarse Ma Kui was, the troops were really in disarray under the rampage of Liu Bei and Guan Yu. The soldiers in the camp were all panicked and turned dizzy.
"kill-!"
At the same time, reinforcements led by Cheng Li and Chen Gong arrived in time.
These dozens of horsemen poured into the enemy camp like a torrent, killing and stabbing everyone they met. Although the enemy troops were numerous, they had no ability to resist and were constantly being devoured and killed.
"Xuande!"
Cheng Li killed a soldier with his sword, looked up at Liu Bei, and shouted sternly: "Stop fighting, kill the leader of the thieves, burn the food and run away."
Before Liu Bei could speak, Zhang Fei understood what was going on in the formation, and he immediately galloped forward, using his snake lances to point, stab, tease, and pierce one after another. Soldiers along the way fell to the ground and died on the spot.
.
"Damn it!"
Ma Kui was frightened when he saw it, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he was filled with hatred.
He couldn't believe it.
The warrior in front of him, holding a snake spear, was so powerful that his own soldiers had no power to fight back in front of him. With one blow, they were bound to die. His ruthless and courageous attack was impressive.
"Stop it for me..."
"Zhang Fei from Yan is here, anyone who stands in my way will die!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Fei shouted loudly, and the snake spear in his palm rotated left and right. The enemy troops along the way retreated one after another, as if they were afraid of angering the god of death, and they forced themselves out of the way.
"ah-!"
Ma Kui was filled with hatred.
He originally wanted to rein in his horse and run away, but his whole body felt like it was filled with lead water, and he could not move at all. He could only watch Zhang Fei, rushing towards him like a strong wind.
"Come and accept your fate!"
Zhang Fei suddenly shouted loudly, and the snake spear in his hand instantly cut through the air, like a giant python in the deep sea, heading straight for the enemy general's neck.
The blood-stained snake spear bloomed with a powerful dark light, filled with murderous intent and hesitating, which actually gave Ma Kui a feeling of being unavoidable and unavoidable, as if he was being targeted by death!
"ah-!"
A loud cry from the sky.
But see...
The snake spear flew and stabbed straight at the neck.
The cold spear edge shot out from the back of Ma Kui's neck, as graceful and elegant as a dragonfly touching water.
The next second, Zhang Fei's muscles bulged, and with a fierce thrust, he actually picked the burly enemy general on the spearhead, raised it high above his head, turned around and showed it to the soldiers and horses in the camp, and shouted at the top of his voice:
"Those who surrender will let bygones be bygones;"
"Those who stubbornly resist will be killed without mercy!"
At this moment, Zhang Fei's whole body was exuding an intimidating evil spirit, and he roared furiously. The sound was as loud as thunder. It was so powerful that it made people's eardrums hurt.
The whole camp was shocked by the scene in front of them. They were afraid to avoid it, and they dared not fight again. They threw away their weapons one after another, fell to their knees, and shouted one after another:
"Don't kill me, I surrender."
"Don't kill me. I have an old mother above me and a little boy below me."
"I surrendered, I really surrendered."
"..."
Looking at the entire battalion of soldiers throwing away their weapons and raising their hands high.
Cheng Li, Chen Gong and others changed their minds.
This battle was much smoother than they imagined.
certainly!
This is all due to the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang.
After all, they knew how difficult it was to break the camp.
"Xuande!"
Cheng Li hurriedly shouted: "Burn the food quickly and lead the troops away from here."
Liu Bei responded: "Don't worry, leave it to me."
Not long after.
Thick smoke rose into the sky.
*****
Yanling County.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of gold exploded, and the flames of war raged.
"Damn it!"
Xia Houyuan chewed it secretly.
He really couldn't believe it.
Zhang Miao's attack was so sharp that it entered a feverish state from the very beginning.
In less than an hour, the opponent's soldiers and horses climbed on top of the main city.
If he hadn't reacted quickly, personally led his elite troops to rush to the rescue, and killed him at the top of the city, his opponent might have opened a gap at this time, and then took advantage of the situation to gain a foothold and capture Yanling.
Phew! Phew!
Xia Houyuan hacked two people to death one after another, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Hold here, we must not let the thieves attack the city again, we must hold on until the captain comes to help, do you understand?"
The soldiers guarding the city responded sonorously: "Here."
"General!"
At this moment, a soldier not far away shouted: "There are thieves attacking the city from the north gate."
Xia Houyuan did not dare to hesitate at all, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, follow me to help the North Gate."
A hundred and ten capable soldiers shouted in unison: "Here."
Now.
Xia Houyuan's steps were like the wind, and he rushed towards the north gate of the city.
When they arrived, more than ten thieves had already come up to kill him.
"kill-!"
Xia Houyuan shouted sternly, kept walking, and rushed straight towards the enemy. He struck out with the Huanshou Sword in his palm one after another, slapping his head and covering his face at the enemy soldiers, and unleashed a mad attack.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Swords flashed, blood splashed.
Xia Houyuan didn't take action, but when he did, it was lightning and flint.
In the blink of an eye, as many as five or six soldiers died in his hands.
Driven by his fierce and sharp offensive, this capable team was like a sharp sword, launching a clearing operation against the enemy forces at the top of the city with lightning speed.
Fortunately!
There were not many soldiers who attacked the city. They were only a few dozen breaths away, and they were all cleared by Xia Houyuan: "The captain's reinforcements will arrive soon, everyone, hold on!"
All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Here."
Winter! Winter! Winter!
At this moment, there was the sound of drums from the direction of the east gate.
Based on its rhythm, Xia Houyuan immediately judged that this was an urgent signal for help.
"Follow me!"
Xia Houyuan didn't dare to stop, so he waved his hand and continued to rush to the east gate to help.
Wuyangyang's soldiers and horses rushed over, and with another fierce rescue operation, they killed all the soldiers at the top of the city and once again saved the city.
"Fuck you!"
Suddenly, a young man next to him shouted: "Father, if we continue to fight like this, even if we don't die in battle, we will be killed by exhaustion. There are too few soldiers and horses in the city, and we simply can't stand it."
"Heng'er!"
Xia Houyuan's eyes were as wide as bells, he turned around and shouted angrily, and interrupted sharply: "His Royal Highness King Hongnong is going to ascend the throne today. Even if we die in Yanling, we must not make any mistakes at this time."
"Believe me, Lieutenant!"
"I believe in you, Uncle Mengde!"
Xia Houyuan's eyes were as bright as fire, and he looked at death as if he were home: "Even if we fight to the death of one soldier, he must be nailed to me in the city, and no one can be allowed to kill on the top of the city."
"Father!"
Xia Houheng was shocked by his father's fighting spirit and nodded affirmatively: "I understand, kid."
At this moment, a soldier raised his hand and pointed outside the city: "Sima, look, there is thick smoke there, it should be in the direction of Zhang Miao's camp."
Xia Houyuan hurriedly raised his eyes to look.
really!
In the direction of Zhang Miao's camp, thick smoke billowed into the sky.
Xia Houyuan was ecstatic in his heart. He looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "It must be the captain! It must be the captain's soldiers and horses that attacked Zhang Miao's camp. Brothers, hold on, our reinforcements are coming."
"Kill with me—!"
"kill!"
A strong cry of killing resounded throughout the sky.
The defenders in Yanling City seemed to be resurrected on the spot with full blood, and their fighting spirit was fierce. Their arms seemed to have endless strength, and they launched a frantic output towards the soldiers and horses who were charging towards the city.
now.
Zhang Miao, who was outside the city, also noticed the thick smoke from the camp. The anger in his heart surged into his throat. He opened his mouth and cursed: "Damn it! Didn't I tell you to send out scouts? How could Cao Cao be allowed to detour to the direction of the camp."
"Lord!"
Chenliu Captain Wu Hao hurriedly handed over his hand: "The scouts have indeed been sent out according to the plan. If Cao Cao comes from the direction of Lin County, our people will definitely be able to discover it."
"But......"
"But what?"
Before Wu Hao could finish speaking, Zhang Miao interrupted directly, his eyes widening angrily: "Now that the camp has been attacked by enemy troops, do you still dare to make excuses? Let's see how I deal with you when I get back!"
"Send the order!"
Zhang Miao did not dare to hesitate at all, and gave a sonorous order: "Call the gold and withdraw the troops, and retreat slowly."
Jingle bell—!
The golden sound sounded.
The soldiers and horses that were attacking the city retreated like the tide.
On the top of the city, shouts of victory immediately sounded, as if mocking Zhang Miao's stupidity.
Looking at the retreating soldiers and horses, Xia Houyuan was full of fighting spirit and made a decisive decision: "Heng'er, beat the drum quickly, open the city gate to chase the enemy, cooperate with the captain's army, and completely defeat them!"
Xia Houheng leaned forward and raised his hands: "Here."
Winter! Winter! Winter!
Then, the golden drum sounded loudly.
The soldiers and horses at the top of the city descended from the city one after another and gathered towards the east gate.
Squeak—!
City gate exhibition.
Xia Houyuan galloped out, taking the lead.
Behind him, Cao's army came out in droves, chasing Zhang Miao's army in a frenzied attack.
The more arrogant Xia Houyuan became, the more Zhang Miao was convinced that Cao Cao must have led his troops to attack his camp, otherwise the other party would never dare to be so arrogant.
"Damn it!"
Zhang Miao chewed it secretly.
He stared and glanced at the pursuers behind him. He couldn't believe that Cao Cao, who was still fighting in Lin County yesterday, returned to Yanling today?
The most terrible thing is!
Cao Cao was actually able to appear behind him without anyone noticing, and while the army was fighting fiercely at Yanling, he raided his camp and burned his own supplies.
Now, Xia Houyuan led his troops to pursue him, and it was clear that he wanted to cooperate with Cao Cao, attack from both front and back, and expand the results of the battle, so as to claim credit and reward from the new emperor.
Zhang Miao's heart suddenly galloped with thousands of horses galloping.
This horse is no ordinary horse, but a famous grass-mud horse!
How could Zhang Miao let Xia Houyuan succeed?
At that moment, he did not dare to hesitate at all and gave a sonorous order: "Brothers, quickly retreat to the southeast. As long as we enter Fugou County, the thieves will be unable to do anything to us."
"Quickly retreat—!"
Zhang Miao shouted hoarse and took the lead in retreating to the southeast.
Wu Yangyang's soldiers and horses chased the military flag and also turned to the southeast.
Looking at the soldiers and horses turning hastily, Xia Houheng asked: "Father, Zhang Miao turns around, what should we do?"
Xia Houyuan said without thinking: "The captain will rush back to support us, and the cavalry will clear the way. If we continue to pursue, the captain will definitely come to support us. By then we will unite our troops and we will win a great victory."
Xia Houheng nodded: "My uncle is so powerful, he can actually take care of both sides of the battlefield."
Xia Houyuan smiled faintly: "Boy, learn more from your uncle in the future, and you will become a general sooner or later!"
"Don't worry, father."
"Let's go, continue to chase the enemy!"
"Here."
*****
now.
Zhang Miao Camp.
Pan Zhang and others are collecting prisoners and counting their numbers.
Cheng Li smiled calmly and said softly: "I didn't expect that not only did we defeat Zhang Miao's camp, but we also captured so many prisoners. As long as we can give them to Cao Cao, it will be a great achievement."
"yes."
On the side, Chen Gong twisted his beard and smiled lightly, nodding his head: "Using the merits of this battle as a qualification for promotion, I think it will provide more guarantees than ordinary people seeking official positions."
"I have heard that the new emperor is very strict in running the army. Those who have merit will be rewarded and those who are guilty will be punished. What's more, we defeated Zhang Miao on the day he ascended the throne and made great achievements. This reward is enough to make us unusual."
"Xuande."
Chen Gong turned to look at Liu Bei and bowed to him: "This time, we were able to accomplish this great feat only because you brothers broke down the camp in time and killed the bandit leader."
Liu Bei was stunned and returned the courtesy: "Where, it's not worth mentioning."
"Report—!"
At this moment, a long announcement sounded outside the camp.
Cheng Li and others looked up.
But when he saw a servant flying back, he bowed and handed over his hands: "Sir, Zhang Miao's army has retreated."
Cheng Li seemed to have expected it, and nodded slowly: "Yes, but retreat in the direction of Fugou?"
The servant nodded: "Exactly!"
"Very good."
On the side, Chen Gong was completely relieved and sighed: "In this way, we can take the prisoners back to Yanling."
Cheng Li twisted his beard and smiled: "That's how it should be."
Before Cheng Li could give the order, he heard a sudden change from his servant: "Sir, although Zhang Miao has retreated, Yanling guard general Xia Houyuan is leading his troops to pursue him."
"What?"
Suddenly, Cheng Li was shocked!
Chen Gong was shocked!
Liu Bei was even more shocked!
None of the three people seemed to have expected that Xia Houyuan would dare to go out of the city to pursue Zhang Miao?
Cheng Li, in particular, was so angry that he opened his mouth and cursed: "Damn it! This Xia Houyuan must have thought that we are Cao Cao and wants to join forces with us to completely defeat Zhang Miao."
"Covetous for war glory!"
Chen Gong was furious and gnashed his teeth angrily: "Xia Houyuan is trying to do something good for me!"
Liu Bei also felt bad: "If we don't bring in troops to support, once the time is extended, Zhang Miao will definitely see the flaw. If the opponent takes advantage of the situation to counterattack, Xiahou Yuan will be defeated without a doubt."
"no!"
Liu Bei turned his eyes to Cheng Li and Chen Gong: "We must support Xia Houyuan. You two are resourceful. Please think of a way quickly. If it is delayed, it will cause a disaster."
Cheng Li glanced back at the prisoners in the camp and lowered his voice: "If we rush to the rescue, what will these prisoners do? If they pick up weapons and fight again, won't we be attacked from both sides?"
Another question came up. Chen Gong was shocked and asked in a low voice: "Zhongde, what do you mean?"
Cheng Li took a deep breath, but did not hide it: "They were all forced to surrender. If we let it go, they will rebel again. I would like to suggest that before leaving, kill them all without leaving a single one. Otherwise, there will be serious trouble!"
"
"No!"
Before Chen Gong could speak, Liu Bei was the first to refuse: "They have already surrendered. How can we use weapons recklessly? How can such behavior be any different from that cruel Dong thief?"
"Xuande."
Cheng Li immediately said: "It is absolutely impossible for a woman to be benevolent at this time. We have few soldiers and horses. We are supporting Xiahou Yuan this time. We don't know whether we will live or die. If these guys take the opportunity to rebel, we will surely fall into death."
Liu Bei naturally knew that Cheng Li was right, but he couldn't get over his own hurdle: "No! Absolutely not! I believe they will never rebel again."
"Absolutely not!"
Liu Bei is sure and sure.
Cheng Li frowned, no longer paying attention to Liu Bei, but turned to Chen Gong: "Wentai, you should know that there are three hundred prisoners in this group. Once they take advantage of us to support Xiahou..."
"No!"
Before Cheng Li could finish what he said, Chen Gong refused directly and said righteously: "Today the new emperor ascends the throne, what we are doing, if someone with intentions uses it to make a fuss, won't it embarrass your majesty?"
call-
Cheng Li had no choice but to frown and ask, "What can you do about it?"
Liu Bei thought for a moment: "Leave two people to guard here, and the rest will support Xiahou Yuan."
Chen Gong nodded and said, "I'm afraid this is the only solution for now."
Cheng Li asked: "Who is left?"
Everyone wants to make meritorious deeds, and certainly no one wants to stay.
As a last resort, Chen Gong could only say: "In this raid on the camp, my servants of the Chen family suffered no casualties, so I left a group of them behind to guard the prisoners in the camp."
Chen Gong sacrificed himself, and naturally no one had any suggestions.
Cheng Li took a long breath and said softly: "In that case, I will send people to cut down some branches and thorns and tie them to the horses' tails. We will line up in a line and chase after them. There will be an army of thousands of horses."
Chen Gong nodded: "Okay, let's get ready."
Immediately.
Chen Gong and Cheng Li quickly arranged things.
Liu Bei greeted Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and explained the upcoming battle.
After hearing this, Zhang Fei took a long breath, frowned, and said softly: "Actually, although what Zhongde said is cruel, it is not unreasonable. These guys are by no means loyal and submissive. If I hadn't been waiting here, they would have
Possible rebellion."
"Then we can't kill so indiscriminately!"
Guan Yu stroked his long beard with his hands, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent: "In the eyes of these scholars, how can they regard soldiers as their own brothers? Kill them if you want. The world is caused by this group of noble officials and thieves."
Zhang Fei frowned: "Second brother, once these guys rebel, how can the group of servants in Gongtai alone be able to stop them? These guys are taking advantage of the situation to raid the rear of our army..."
"That won't work either!"
Guan Yu had no other reason and shook his head in denial: "A man is born in heaven and earth, and he should put loyalty first. Since they surrender, they are one of our own. How can we do this to ourselves?"
"Okay."
Liu Bei stopped sternly and exhaled: "No matter what, we finally have a proper way to deal with it. Next, we have to bluff and hunt down Zhang Miao. Remember not to go too deep."
"Yide!"
Liu Bei turned to look at Zhang Fei and warned: "Especially you, do you understand?"
Zhang Feien nodded: "Don't worry, brother, I will never rush in."
Liu Bei felt relieved and said, "Okay."
"Lord—!"
At this moment, Jian Yong led someone to drag some branches: "Zhongde told me to tie these branches to the horse's tail, and we can set off."
Liu Bei greeted Guan Zhang: "Yun Chang, Yide, prepare quickly."
The two of them cupped their hands and said, "Here."
Not long after.
The branches were tied to the tail of the horse, and dozens of horses galloped out.
Suddenly, smoke and dust agitated and filled the air, and there were literally tens of thousands of soldiers and horses moving.
