Chapter 324: The Fierce Battle of Wancheng on the Third Front
Although Chen Gong was not willing to attack Wancheng at this juncture, Liu Bei, as the lord, insisted on doing so, so he could only obey.
Now, Chen Gong was also opposed to Liu Bei detaching a large group of personal guards to annihilate Cao's army leaving the city.
Everyone has their own mission. The so-called personal guards naturally have the sole task of protecting the lord. How can they leave the lord's side without permission? The two hundred Cao troops who attacked from Wancheng probably couldn't even see a single wolf in front of Zhang Fei's army.
If it can't be lifted up, it will be wiped out in a blink of an eye, so why bother here and let Chen Dao mind his own business?
Although Chen Gong also mentioned his thoughts on this matter to Liu Bei and hoped that Liu Bei would not send out his own soldiers easily, Liu Bei still did not adopt Chen Gong's opinion in the end.
Today is different from the past. When Liu Bei's men were lacking in resourcefulness, he naturally treated Chen Gong with courtesy, and Liu Bei accepted all the strategies Chen Gong came up with.
But now, although the number of military generals under Liu Bei's account is still small, civil servants are no longer as scarce as before. Xu Shu, who had taken refuge in the army before, has shown that his ability is no longer inferior to that of Chen Gong, and he is highly valued by Liu Bei.
As for Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei favored him even more.
Although Liu Bei still respects Chen Gong now, he will no longer obey his words as before. At least, when Chen Gong, Xu Shu, and Zhuge Liang have differences in opinions and policies, Liu Bei always tends to
the latter.
Just when Chen Gong was slightly sentimental about this, bursts of footsteps sounded from the front.
When Liu Bei and others heard the footsteps, their expressions suddenly changed.
There is an enemy!
Chen Dao only brought a total of sixty people with him. Although the footsteps coming from the front were not very loud, judging from the sound, the number of people appearing in front was definitely more than sixty.
Since it was not Chen Dao's men who returned, it was natural that the enemy troops appeared.
"Lord, leave quickly!" Zhuge Liang hurriedly shouted to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was a little confused at this moment. Did he fail again?
It doesn't make sense. Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little angry. General Chen Dao was not bad, so why did he lose so many times? Not to mention the previous ambush failures, but he didn't expect that this time it would be even worse. He was actually beaten directly in front of him by the enemy!
You know, whether it was the previous ambush or this time leading troops to intercept, Chen Dao's situation looked good at the beginning, but why did these two actions end in defeat? Could it be that he had made a mistake?
,Did you overestimate Chen Dao’s ability?
"Lord, leave quickly, otherwise it will be too late!" Seeing that Liu Bei didn't respond, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but become a little anxious. If the enemy appeared in front of him, and Liu Bei didn't evacuate in time, it would be really bad.
Liu Bei's safety is the most important thing at the moment. If Liu Bei is unfortunately captured or even killed, then everything will be over!
When Liu Bei heard Zhuge Liang's shouts, he immediately came to his senses and hurriedly rode away into the distance.
Liu Bei had already surrendered to Cao Cao once and then rebelled against him. He would not think that when he was captured by Cao Cao's army again, Cao Cao would spare his efforts so that he could survive.
Now Liu Bei also felt a little regretful. If he had followed Chen Gong's advice and ignored Cao's army leaving the city, how could he have ended up in this situation?
Even if the sixty personal guards could not stop Cao Jun's offensive, they were enough to hold off the enemy, ensuring that they would have enough time to run far away.
However, although the situation is not good at this moment, it is not too bad for Liu Bei. The war horse Liu Bei sits on is the good horse he got when he was in Xinye - Lu. Although when running, Lu Bei is not as good as the red rabbit.
It was so fast, but it was impossible for ordinary war horses to catch up, not to mention that the sergeants in the battle were all infantry, so I could only look at it with dismay.
The only one in Cao's army who was riding a horse was Hao Zhao. When he saw Liu Bei trying to escape, he immediately waved his whip and chased after him.
However, Lu's speed was much better than that of Hao Zhao sitting down on his horse, and Hao Zhao was now weak and had no strength to control the horse. The gap between the two sides was getting wider and wider.
Hao Zhao also didn't expect that the mount Liu Bei was riding turned out to be a rare good horse, and it pushed him further and further away.
Seeing Liu Bei's figure getting farther and farther away from him, Hao Zhao couldn't help but start to feel anxious in his heart. If Liu Bei was allowed to escape under his nose, Hao Zhao would probably regret it for a long time.
Hao Zhao was absolutely unwilling to let Liu Bei escape, so he stretched his bow and drew an arrow, hoping to shoot Liu Bei off his horse.
If you can't capture it alive, kill it!
However, Hao Zhao's current strength could not draw the bow, and he could not even draw the bow string halfway.
Hao Zhao gritted his teeth, he never wanted to give up.
The fingers are tightly clasped on the bow string. No matter what, this bow must be drawn!
With a "whoosh" sound, the arrow flew out from the string. Hao Zhao used all his strength to finally shoot the arrow.
But when the arrow came back, it shot far to one side.
In Hao Zhao's current state, it was not easy to shoot the arrow. As for the accuracy, he couldn't control it at all.
But although the arrow did not hit Liu Bei, it hit someone else by chance. Only a scream was heard from the side.
