The long sound of the horn tore through the silence of the night, and two thousand elite cavalry roared away, their iron hooves rolling, and rushed towards the enemy camp from the due north.
Seven groups of troops launched a revengeful counterattack against the Jingzhou Army's camp from different directions.
In the enemy camp, the Jingzhou Army was in chaos. Facing the attack of thousands of troops from all directions, these soldiers who were already uneasy quickly fell into a panic.
Liu Qi, who had put on his armor in a hurry, was shocked and in disbelief. He never imagined that Yan Liang would launch a full-scale night attack on him on the night he returned to Xiangyang without any rest.
Moreover, Huan listened to the deafening cries of killing all around, and realized that the number of enemies was at least fifty or sixty thousand. However, according to detailed intelligence, Yan Liang's total number of soldiers and horses at hand did not exceed twenty thousand.
How come there are so many enemies?
Liu Qi was frightened and uneasy, and his heart was filled with suspicion and surprise.
"Lord, the east camp wall has been breached."
"It's a big deal. The rear camp in the southwest has been breached."
"Reporting to my lord, the enemy cavalry has broken through the west camp wall and is expecting the Chinese army to attack."
…
A series of bad news hit Liu Qi's heart like a heavy hammer, making him almost dizzy with shock.
"Yan Liang dog thief——"
The frightened Liu Qi gritted his teeth with hatred, trying to overcome his panic with anger.
After calming down for a while, Liu Qi got on his horse, ready to command his soldiers to fight to the death.
At this moment, at the main entrance to the north, the sound of killing sounded like thunder. It seemed like a rolling mountain torrent was crashing down.
The soldiers on the front line of the camp were like ants collapsing from their nest, and they collapsed one after another. No matter how Liu Qi scolded him, he could not suppress this defeat.
At this moment, Huang Zhong and Liu Pan both rode up on their horses. Liu Pan shouted: "Brother, the north gate has been lost. The rebel cavalry cannot stop it. The camp cannot be defended. Hurry and retreat to Jiangling."
Bar."
Huang Zhong also said in a deep voice: "The south has not been lost yet, and it is still too late to evacuate. General Mo and General Liu will protect our lord and fight their way out of the encirclement."
Even Liu Pan, who had always been brave, said he could no longer hold on. Liu Qi's heart suddenly felt cold to the core.
All around the ring, the soldiers were fleeing. In the light of the fire, the enemy's shadow was gradually approaching. Although Liu Qi was unwilling in every possible way, he had to accept this cruel fact.
Once again, he was defeated by Yan Liang.
After gritting his teeth, Liu Qi let out a long sigh and weakly said, "Get out."
The people on the left and right secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Huang Zhong and Liu Pan then led more than a thousand elite troops who had not been disorganized to retreat to the south of the camp while keeping Liu Qiwang alive.
The Jingzhou army in the camp, which was still stubbornly resisting, saw that Zhou Mu had fled first, and its remaining will to resist collapsed in an instant. The 20,000 soldiers collapsed, throwing away their helmets and armor, and fled to the south of the camp for their lives.
Fang ran out more than ten steps. An army rushed towards him from the diagonal thrust. The tiger and bear general in front was none other than General Wen Chou.
Wen Chou, who was the first to break into the camp, led his army towards the central army, hoping to gain the first victory.
Although he didn't recognize Liu Qi, he glanced around and saw that more than a thousand soldiers and horses were calm in the face of danger and rushing towards the south of the camp. He expected that Liu Qi was among them.
With murderous intent bursting out of his eyes, Wen Chou didn't think much, shouted loudly and waved his troops to intercept and kill him diagonally.
The ape's arms danced, and the spear tip splashed out with spots of light like pear blossoms all over the sky. Wherever the cold front passed by, it pierced bloody holes.
Liu Qi, who was retreating, saw the enemy troops intercepting him, and one of the enemy generals was even more invincible. He couldn't help but be shocked.
When Liu Pan saw this, he shouted: "Han Sheng, you protect your brother and go first, I will stop the traitor general."
After saying this, Liu Pan turned his horse around and led hundreds of troops to meet Wen Chou.
Liu Qi thought that his brother was very skilled in martial arts, so he could intercept the enemy, so he felt a little more at ease.
Right here, he suddenly heard loud screams behind him. When he glanced back, Liu Qi was so shocked that his legs softened and he almost fell off his horse.
In the light of the fire, the big flag with the word "Yan" was fluttering in a mighty manner, and a group of cavalry troops cut through the waves to kill the scattered troops, running straight towards him.
Yan Liang took the lead, wielding a long knife, cutting a bloody path, and chased Liu Qi.
After breaking through the main gate of the North Camp, he expected that Liu Qi would definitely flee south, so he continued all the way, swiping his troops through the enemy camp, and went directly to the South Camp to kill him.
As long as Liu Qi can be killed, Liu Biao's old army in Jingzhou will be leaderless and will inevitably fall apart. At that time, he will drive south and seize Jiangling in one fell swoop. It may not be impossible to capture Jingzhou entirely.
He was so excited that he opened and closed his sword widely and ruthlessly harvested the heads. When he caught a sideways glance at Wen Chou's army, he refused to join them and pursued them all the way south.
At this time, Wen Chou was killing with great joy, and the Jingzhou soldiers were like meat on a nail board, ready to be slaughtered by him.
When he was charging forward in an invincible direction, he saw a group of soldiers coming towards him in front of him.
"It turns out that Liu Qi has people who are not afraid of death. He came just in time!"
His eyes were bloodshot and his expression was ugly. He was extremely intent on killing. He rode his horse, drew his gun, and charged towards the incoming general.
Liu Pan, who was approaching fiercely, did not know who the murderous enemy general was. He was so arrogant in Changsha that he boasted that he was very brave and would not be afraid even if he bumped into Yan Liang.
Seeing Wen Chou coming to kill him, Liu Pan suddenly became arrogant, roared loudly, and charged forward with his spear dancing.
The two horses came towards each other and passed by each other in an instant.
At the moment of the exchange of moves, Liu Pan thought he was hallucinating, because he only saw the shadow of the enemy general's spear move, and before he could see clearly how he made the move, the two knights had already missed him.
Suddenly, Liu Pan felt severe pain in his chest. He looked down and was horrified to find that there was a huge blood hole on his left chest.
In an instant, terror and pain rushed through his body, and Liu Pan seemed to have encountered the most terrifying and unbelievable thing in his life.
Known as the most powerful general in Jingnan, he was pierced through the chest without even seeing clearly how the opponent would attack.
"There is such an amazing gun in this world..."
Liu Pan could no longer think anymore, and the breath of death swallowed him up in an instant. After a moment of shaking, his face was frozen in a moment of horror, and he immediately fell to the ground.
Wen Chou, who passed by the wrong horse, didn't even look back, and just chased Liu Qi in the direction of Liu Qi with a wave of his horse.
Behind him, the corpse was quickly trampled into pulp by the iron hooves that followed.
…
When Wen Chou killed Liu Pan, Yan Liang had already led his army to chase him out of the south gate of the camp.
At this time, among the generals around Liu Qi, only Huang Zhong's men remained, with no more than 800 soldiers.
Yan Liang's men were all elite cavalry, and their speed was extremely fast. Soon they were like the wind.
The one who was chasing him was Yan Liang. He took away most of Jingzhou, which was a good place for the Liu family, and made his father angry to death. Liu Qi felt such hatred in his heart.
But he could only run away without his life, not even daring to look back. Hatred was one thing, but fear of Yan Liang was another.
But what frightened Liu Qi was that the terrible butcher was chasing him closer and closer, almost denying him a way to survive.
After running for more than a mile, Liu Qi's face was as pale as gray, and there was no trace of the state shepherd's demeanor. Everything on his body was filled with fear.
Huang Zhong, who was standing next to him, frowned slightly when he saw Liu Qi's situation, but he shouted: "My lord, go first, I will stop Yan Liang later."
After that, Huang Zhongle turned his horse's hooves, led hundreds of soldiers to turn around, and formed a formation to block the middle of the avenue.
Liu Qi originally wanted Huang Zhong to stop Yan Liang, but he couldn't open his mouth. Now that Huang Zhong took the initiative to ask for a fight, he felt relieved and took advantage of this opportunity to flee to the south desperately.
Yan Liang, who was running, originally wanted to kill Liu Qi in one go, but when he raised his head, a group of people suddenly blocked the way.
Under such a defeated situation, there were still people under Liu Qi who dared to turn around and form a formation to intercept. This kind of courage could not help but make Yan Liang a little surprised.
Yan Liang had some vague guesses in his mind.
However, he did not slow down his horse's hooves at all, and continued to move like the wind, roaring towards the enemy blocking the road.
The east is white and the sky will be bright.
By the firelight of the enemy camp and the rising light of dawn, the enemy's figure became increasingly clear in the field of vision.
After more than ten steps, I saw a veteran with white beard and hair, holding a big sword and standing proudly in front of the formation.
"Sure enough, it's him..."
Looking at Jingzhou, apart from Huang Zhong, there is no other veteran.
Yan Liang's judgment was correct, and the person who dared to block his path was indeed this little-known Changsha veteran.
Huang Zhong in the novel was one of the Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Han Dynasty. During the Battle of Changsha, at the age of over 60, he fought with Guan Yu without losing. In the battle of Dingjun Mountain, he even killed Cao's family.
General Xia Houyuan.
Although this veteran is old and powerful, he can definitely be regarded as the best player in the world.
Historically, Huang Zhong has been dormant in Changsha for many years. Although he had no martial arts skills, he had no achievements worth showing off for most of his life. It was not until he surrendered to Liu Bei that he showed his super strength in his later years.
Now Yan Liang has disrupted history, and unexpectedly he has also changed Huang Zhong's fate, allowing this veteran to step onto the stage of this troubled world ten years in advance.
The emotion only lasted for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, Yan Liang had already arrived on horseback.
"So what if there are five tiger generals? I, Yan Liang, am not afraid of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, so how can I be afraid of your veteran generals?"
Yan Liang's heart was full of pride and his gaze was as determined as a blade. As he shouted violently, his ape-like arm stretched out, and with overwhelming force, he struck at Huang Zhong's head with the long knife in his hand.
Before the blade could reach him, the billowing murderous aura rushed forward, and the strong sense of oppression actually made Huang Zhong feel suffocated for a moment.
"This man has such murderous intent, could it be that he is Yan Liang?"
Huang Zhong, who was originally calm, couldn't help but feel a trace of surprise in his heart, but without thinking about it, he shouted low, raised his sword and moved away.
Huh~~
There was a dull sound of impact, and the blade, carrying 70% of the strength, crashed down like a mountain bearing down on top.
Huang Zhong felt his arms go numb, and a strong force rushed into his whole body. His arms holding the knife were actually bent slightly.
The power of that sword shocked Huang Zhong to the core, thinking that he had been dormant in Jingnan for many years and that he had just met the strongest enemy in his life today.
Yan Liang, who was slashed with one sword, saw that the veteran's face did not change when he faced him with all his strength, and his heart did not beat. He only slightly flexed his arms. It is really remarkable that he can have such strength at such an advanced age.
“Hey~~”
Huang Zhong, who was under the sword, became angry and powerful. He used his arms to carry it and swung Yan Liang's sword away. The sword slashed diagonally and he counterattacked Yan Liang. (To be continued. Registered members of Piaotian Literature recommend this work.
