The lights in the camp were brightly lit. Although it was past midnight, the full moon hung high in the sky, emitting bright moonlight. People could barely see the surroundings in the darkness. On the contrary, because of the fire in the camp, they could not see
Clear the situation outside the camp.
Liu Bei and his men arrived quietly.
He stood in the darkness and carefully looked at the defense of the camp. There were archery towers and watchtowers at the entrance of the camp, and many defensive horses were arranged. Although it looked empty, Liu Bei was sure that Lu Xuan had definitely arranged an ambush to raid the camp and win.
It's not easy.
"Thanks to the military advisor's plan, otherwise, I would have been unable to conquer Lu Xuan's camp, and there would have been nothing I could do."
Liu Bei was secretly glad.
Thanks to Chen Deng's plan, a double ambush was arranged behind him. The men led by Guan Yu and Chen Deng would definitely win this battle.
Liu Bei no longer hesitated and ordered the attack.
The cry of killing suddenly rang out, breaking the silence. A large number of soldiers rushed forward, roaring and going straight to Lu Xuan's camp.
"Archers, shoot your arrows."
Lu Xuan's cold voice came out.
Tonight's fighting was personally directed by Lu Xuan. As the order was issued, the archers who had been ambushing them for a long time came out, stared at the enemies emerging outside the camp, quickly drew their bows and nocked arrows, and shot outside the camp.
"Boom! Boom!!"
The dense bows and arrows were shot out like a rain of arrows.
Phew! Phew!
A large number of bows and arrows fell among the attacking crowd. Even though the bows and arrows were not accurate, too many bows and arrows were shot. At the same time, there were also many Liu Bei soldiers rushing towards the camp, resulting in many people being hit by arrows.
Many of Liu Bei's Danyang soldiers were wounded by arrows and kept wailing.
Even so, Liu Bei's soldiers still rushed forward quickly. However, under the dense rain of arrows, every time they advanced a certain distance, they would cause a large number of casualties. The distance from outside the camp to the entrance of the camp alone was
Many soldiers were lost.
Liu Bei frowned when he saw this scene.
Suddenly, I felt a little panicked.
According to Chen Deng's inference, he would launch an attack tonight. Lu Xuan should let go of the defense at the entrance of the camp, pretend to be negligent in defense, and let him rush into the camp. After the two sides fought for a while, Lu Xuan secretly called in another force.
The army came to attack Liu Bei.
Then, Liu Bei led his troops to retreat, and Lu Xuan led his troops to cover up the attack.
The current situation is a little different. Lu Xuan directly defends strongly, resulting in Liu Bei's men being unable to break into Lu Xuan's camp for a while.
Chen Deng's plan got off to a bad start.
"Soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no constant shape. This is normal. You cannot blame the military advisor."
Liu Bei was an optimist and quickly adjusted his mentality. Instead of leaving a group of soldiers behind as usual, he sent all more than 10,000 elite soldiers up.
Danyang soldiers attacked again.
A large number of soldiers approached the camp and rushed towards the camp. However, in addition to the archers, there were also sword and shield soldiers in the camp for defense, and spearmen counterattacked, making it impossible for Liu Bei's army to break through the defense line at the entrance of the camp in a hurry.
Liu Bei looked at this scene with some regret in his heart, but it was a pity that his third brother Zhang Fei was not there.
It would be great if Zhang Fei was here.
Zhang Fei is brave enough to break through, and is best suited for breaking through. Zhang Fei can tear through Lu Xuan's defense line with just one charge, and lead his men into Lu Xuan's camp.
If I had known earlier, I would not have allowed my third brother to stay in Xiapi.
Liu Bei thought wildly for a while, shook his head, cheered up, encouraged all the soldiers again, and ordered the soldiers to continue the fierce attack.
Time passed little by little, and two quarters of an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Liu Bei's Danyang soldiers were still attacking fiercely, but they still failed to break the defense line of Lu Xuan's camp. Even though the Danyang soldiers killed many of Lu Xuan's soldiers, the black armored soldiers at the front died, and more black armored soldiers immediately took over, ensuring that the camp was impregnable.
Lu Xuan watched the fighting scene quietly, with a smile on his lips.
Liu Bei is going to make a surprise attack tonight.
That's a good idea.
Everything will not proceed according to Liu Bei's ideas, and will only plunge Liu Bei into the abyss step by step.
Lu Xuan looked at Gao Shun, who was in charge of the war, and ordered: "Gao Shun, relax the defense line as planned and let Liu Bei's army enter the camp. At this time, if Liu Bei is not given any sweetness, he will retreat in spite of the difficulties."
"Here."
Gao Shun nodded and answered.
He made arrangements immediately.
After the defense line at the entrance of the camp was slightly relaxed, a large number of Danyang soldiers came forward to attack. Lu Xuan's army retreated a certain distance and still set up defenses in the camp to block Liu Bei's army from attacking.
The two sides fought fiercely.
Lu Xuan's defense was still impregnable, without any turbulence. However, after a while, Gao Shun would order a retreat some distance, allowing Liu Bei's army to advance further.
Both sides were constantly fighting.
Liu Bei's troops advanced slowly, but they kept advancing. Lu Xuan's troops seemed to be retreating, but they kept holding on. Even if Lu Xuan's troops retreated again and again, they remained stable.
Liu Bei frowned deeply when he saw this situation.
He hesitated.
In the current confrontation, it was clear that Lu Xuan's side was showing signs of fatigue. However, Lu Xuan's people were very tenacious and never collapsed. He could not win the opponent.
If he retreats as planned now, will Lu Xuan pursue him?
Most likely not.
Moreover, Liu Bei felt that Lu Xuan's troops were insufficient and he had a chance to defeat Lu Xuan in one go. As long as the attacking force was larger, he would have a chance to overwhelm Lu Xuan and win the final victory.
On the one hand, Liu Bei encouraged the soldiers and asked his soldiers to attack fiercely. On the other hand, Liu Bei gave full play to the spirit of the hero and arranged for people to quickly go back to Chen Deng to convey Liu Bei's opinions.
When the soldiers saw Chen Deng, they quickly said: "Military advisor, the commander led people into Lu Xuan's camp. Although Lu Xuan was still resisting, Lu Xuan's side showed signs of fatigue. The commander thought that Lu Xuan would not retreat now.
Will pursue."
"The envoy said that Lu Xuan's army has been defending and is not strong enough. As long as there is another force, Lu Xuan's defense line can be broken. The envoy please lead the troops to rush to reinforce, increase the intensity of the attack, and destroy Lu Xuan's army in one go.
Camp. General Guan’s troops have been dispatched, and I have said that I will not mobilize them for the time being.”
Chen Deng frowned.
Things have changed.
Everything broke his expectations and did not proceed as he expected.
Chen Deng was thinking about the current situation, and he suddenly thought of a possibility. What if Lu Xuan didn't have any plan and just wanted to hold on to the camp?
"Yes, it is possible."
Chen Deng became excited.
He felt that he had overestimated Lu Xuan and predicted Lu Xuan's various possibilities. In fact, Lu Xuan's rear was attacked and a large number of troops were mobilized. Lu Xuan would not take the initiative to plan an attack. He must first seek stability.
Defense.
The more Chen Deng thought about it, the more it made sense and he felt that he had made things complicated.
At this moment, Chen Deng adjusted his plan.
"Lu Xuan is defeated. We send troops to break Lu Xuan's camp in one battle."
Chen Deng made arrangements.
He led three thousand private soldiers from the big families in Xuyi County towards the frontline battlefield. It was Chen Deng who relied on his influence in Xuzhou and his promise to give generous rewards for defeating Lu Xuan to have these troops.
.
A little more than a quarter of an hour later, Chen Deng came to the front line, came to Liu Bei's side, and reported: "Lord, how is the situation?"
Liu Bei held up his sword and said excitedly: "Military advisor, Lu Xuan's army retreated again and again. Although they still resisted tenaciously, in fact, Lu Xuan's troops are insufficient. As long as another fire is used, Lu Xuan's defense line can be destroyed. Yours
Three thousand people, arrange to go up immediately."
"attack!"
Chen Deng gave the order decisively.
The tribes of three thousand big families entered the battlefield, poured into the camp, and rushed towards the defense line of Xuan inland of the camp.
Chen Deng looked forward to the fighting scene and looked forward to it. With an apologetic look on his face, he said: "My lord, I have made things complicated because of my humble position. I thought that Lu Xuan would have all kinds of means, but now it seems that Lu Xuan is just defensive. Lord's
Thinking about it is the most suitable one. My lord is indeed a veteran on the battlefield and has rich experience."
Liu Bei stroked his beard under his chin, looking quite proud.
But he said: "The considerations of the military advisor are also very good. If you don't follow the considerations of the military advisor, you will be in trouble if you are calculated. This time, you can take advantage and win, which is also the plan of the military advisor. It is the combination of the military advisor."
Wang Lang and Zu Lang. Without the actions of both sides, we would not be able to gain the advantage."
Chen Deng said solemnly: "My lord, you have given me the reward."
Liu Bei looked up at the battlefield and ordered a fierce attack again to encourage all the soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, another two quarters of an hour passed.
Although Lu Xuan's army showed signs of decline, its defense was still solid.
Liu Bei blinked and tightened his grip on the sword hilt.
The feeling of panic in his heart emerged again, because the situation in front of him was not like Lu Xuan's defeat as he expected. On the contrary, Lu Xuan's defense was unshakable and always stable.
Liu Bei's cheeks twitched, he looked at Chen Deng and asked: "Military advisor, do you think there is anything wrong with the battle tonight?"
Chen Deng said: "My lord, I don't think anything is wrong. Lu Xuan's troops have been retreating. This is normal. Lu Xuan's army is holding on and is always on the defensive. This is normal. Because as long as Lu Xuan retreats, he will be completely defeated.
"
"Lu Xuan, I'm actually holding on for dear life."
"We already have a chance to defeat the enemy."
"I think that at this point, it is useless to consider other things. Anyway, the prediction of the humble position has expired, so I will go all out and attack with all my strength."
"My humble suggestion is to bring General Guan's troops back to participate in the attack. As you mentioned, we have no choice but to attack Lu Xuan fiercely. Only by breaking Lu Xuan's camp can we have a way out. Otherwise, wait until Lu Xuan calms down.
We are bound to lose."
Chen Deng looked determined.
At this moment, he was a little excited again, because the hope of victory seemed to be right here.
Liu Bei thought for a while and nodded: "The military advisor is right. At this point, we really have no way out. If we retreat now, we won't be able to defend it even if we return to Xuyi County. Now, we must capture Lu Xuan."
He quickly arranged for people to notify Guan Yu to come to help.
Guan Yu was a little surprised when he got the news.
The plan changed again.
Guan Yu came with his men. He came to Liu Bei's side and learned the details without saying anything else. Liu Bei was the weaker side and could not defend Xuyi County, so he had to take the initiative. Guan Yu put the troops around him
, all thrown into the battlefield.
The fighting became more and more fierce.
When Lu Xuan received the news that all Liu Bei's troops were participating in the battle, his eyes were no longer calm, but filled with strong fighting spirit.
It's time to counterattack!
Lu Xuan drew his sword out of its sheath with a clang, and said loudly: "Gao Shun, you lead the eight hundred troops to the camp, penetrate Liu Bei's army offensive, and enter his camp for me. Now that the offense and defense have changed, it's our turn to counterattack.
"
"Here!"
Gao Shun answered immediately.
He led the 800 trapped troops arrayed behind him, quickly intervened at the front of the battlefield, and kept rushing forward.
"Trapped in camp, kill!"
Gao Shun held the knife and rushed forward, roaring loudly, like a tiger descending from the mountain.
"Trapped in camp, kill!"
The eight hundred soldiers in the formation, all wearing heavy armor, roared in unison with their swords in hand, and stabbed forward quickly.
The momentum of being trapped is as powerful as a dragon.
