Will Zhang Fei’s 30,000 infantry and cavalry be defeated?
Liu Bei looked stunned and could hardly believe his ears. At that moment, he actually thought he had an illusion.
"How could Yide be defeated? How could Yan Liang send a 50,000 army to Luyang?" Zhuge Liang was also in disbelief and forgot to shake the feather fan in his hand.
"The news is true, General Zhang's handwriting is urgently reported here." Chen Dao presented the silk book with both hands.
Before the personal soldiers were presented to Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang jumped up, took the lead, and grabbed the urgent report from Chen Dao.
When Zhan Jiang saw that Zhuge Liang's face gradually turned ashen, his handsome face gradually turned blue, and his expression of surprise and shame and anger surged onto his handsome face like a tide.
Zhang Fei's urgent report explained the entire process of failure in detail.
The emergency report stated that according to the instructions of the King of Yan and the military advisors, he believed that there could not be too many Chu troops in Luyang City, so the day after he arrived at the city, he launched a large-scale attack on Luyang City.
Unexpectedly, at noon, nearly 50,000 Chu troops suddenly broke out from all the gates, and even Yan Liang took the battle personally and caught him off guard.
Now that Zhang Fei was defeated, he has led 15,000 defeated soldiers and retreated to Liang County, while Yan Liang led 50,000 victorious troops to follow him and attack the city from all directions.
Zhang Fei's troops were weak and his morale was low. Liang County was afraid that it would be difficult to defend, so he asked Liu Bei to send troops to support him as soon as possible.
After reading this detailed urgent report, Zhuge Liang felt a sense of dismay and depressed, and his heart was filled with resentment and shame.
What was angry was that his plan was once again seen through by Yan Liang.
What was ashamed was that he offered this time and pledged to make sure that this plan would defeat Yan Liang. But the cruel fact now is that his plan caused Liu Bei to suffer a second crushing defeat.
"Military advisor, what's going on?" Liu Bei couldn't wait to know the result.
Zhuge Liang turned around, felt ashamed of Liu Bei with an embarrassing expression, and reluctantly presented Zhang Fei's urgent reply.
Liu Bei hurriedly looked at it for a long time, and the remaining thoughts were shattered, and he could only accept this cruel fact helplessly.
Bang!
Liu Bei's fist hit the case hard. He said hatefully: "Damn Yan Thief, I didn't expect that he would lead a large army to steal from Luyang under the banner of Chenliu. It was really treacherous.
pole."
Liu Bei's angry look seemed to have forgotten. It was him who used tricks first, but Yan Liang just used the tricks and fought back with the situation.
"I heard that Pang Shiyuan of Xiangyang was a military advisor for Yan Zhe in the Chu army. This man came out of the same school as Liang's army, and was named Feng Chu. If this person had no idea of making suggestions from the side, Yan Zhe would have made a smart plan. It would be impossible to see through Liang's plan.
.” Zhuge Liang took advantage of the situation and moved out of Pang Tong and found a reason for his mistake.
"Is Pang Shiyuan, is it the Pang Shiyuan who designed for Yan Liang to destroy Jiangdong?" Liu Bei said in surprise.
"It's this person." Zhuge Liang nodded.
Liu Bei frowned deeply and said hatefully: "It's a pity that Pang Tong has the talent of Wang Zuo, but has no eyes, and has defected to a cruel man like Yan Liang who is unvirtuous and righteous."
Liu Bei transferred his hatred for Yan Liang to Pang Tong again.
In this moment, Zhuge Liang had regained his calmness, and the kind of control of everything appeared between his eyebrows.
"Military advisor, now Yide's army is defeated and Yan's bandits are entering Luoyang. What should I do?" Liu Bei had to ask Zhuge Liang for help.
Zhuge Liang said with great confidence: "When Yan thief is in Bingyang, the Chenliu camp will inevitably be empty. If the king set up a large army at this time, he will be able to break through the enemy camp in one fell swoop. Once Chenliu is broken, the thief army will collapse on its entire line. At that time,
What is the small defeat in Luyang?”
After hearing Zhuge Liang's plan, Liu Bei agreed and immediately ordered to go and pass it to the generals to come.
Not long after, Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, Gao Lan and several generals rushed over. Liu Bei briefly talked about the defeat of Luyang with the generals, and ordered Chen Liu's 100,000 troops to come out in full swing to Chu.
The military camp launched a fierce attack.
When the order was issued, Zhao Yun bowed and said, "King, since Yan Liang dared to lead his army to Luyang personally, he would definitely make arrangements for the camp. Yun was afraid that the attack might not be able to be defeated, so why would he send troops directly to reinforce the front line of Luoyang?"
After hearing Zhao Yun's opinion, Liu Bei hesitated for a moment.
At this time, Zhuge Liang said, "Zilong's words are wrong. If our army divides troops to rescue Luoyang, it is the plan of Yan's thief. In this way, his camp will be as safe as Mount Tai. From now on, we will
If you want to be led by Yan Thief, you can only concentrate your efforts and break through the enemy camp."
Zhuge Liang said a lot of truths in a simplistic way, but Zhao Yun said it was a clumsy and didn't know how to argue.
"Forget it, according to the military advisor's plan, you and others will lead the troops of the battalions to attack the enemy camp hard." Liu Bei resolutely issued an order for the general attack without hesitation.
Zhao Yun had no choice but to act on orders, not to mention the rest of Zhang Xiu and Gao Lan.
The next day, when it was dawn, the generals led their troops out, and more than 100,000 Yan troops launched a crazy attack on the Chu army camp several miles away.
In the Chu camp, Pang Tong and Xu Shu, who were ordered to temporarily supervise the entire army, had already been prepared to face the battle.
Seventy thousand Chu soldiers, ten thousand crossbowmen, more than eight hundred Zhuge crossbows, more than one hundred crossbow chariots, and all kinds of defensive weapons were all in place, waiting for the Yan army to attack.
Faced with Liu Bei's fierce attack of more than 100,000 troops, the Chu soldiers resisted bravely and tenaciously withstood Liu Bei's attacks one after another.
When the Chu army was facing the fierce attack of the Yan army on the Chenliu line, Zhang Fei was paying off the debt for Liu Bei, hundreds of miles away.
Looking out of the city, the battle flags were rolling waves, covering the sky.
The dense Chu soldiers held up the sword forest and formed an endless forest. The cold light reflected by the sharp blade was almost about to reflect the cold sky.
At the east gate of Liang County, veteran Huang Zhong was leading an army of 20,000 to launch a fierce attack on the enemy city.
On the line of Ximen, Yan general Taishici was also under the fierce attack of Wen Chou's ten thousand elite soldiers.
At the south gate of Liang County, Yan Liang personally supervised 30,000 main forces and launched a fierce attack on the south gate that Zhang Fei refused to defend.
Along the city, there were dense ladders, and countless Chu troops climbed onto the ladder like ants, attacking the enemy city without hesitation.
The moat in front of the city wall was filled with soil and rocks. Teams of Chu troops were pushing opposite buildings, rushing cars and other siege equipment, shouting and approaching the enemy city.
Further further, nearly 4,000 crossbowmen were shooting at the enemy city without interruption.
The Chu army's attack was so fierce.
Yan Liang, on the other hand, held his horse and held his sword, admired his army with a playful sneer, and ravaged the enemies that were struggling to support the city.
Zhang Fei at the top of the city is indeed struggling to support him.
Liang County was originally a small city with low walls and shallow moats. Many of the city walls were disrepaired for a long time.
How could ten thousand soldiers with uneasy army resist Yan Jun's attack with just relying on such a dilapidated city?
"Yan Zhe, it's really hateful to force each other to such a big deal!" Zhang Fei gritted his teeth and cursed angrily, and an arrow flew from the city, forcing him to hide and avoid the arrow.
He raised his eyes and glanced at him, but he saw that the Chu army's attack had become even more fierce.
"General, the king's edict has arrived." A scout rushed to the city.
Zhang Fei was excited and shouted anxiously: "Where is the king's reinforcements? When will they arrive in Liang County?"
The scout bowed and said, "Report to the general, the king is trying his best to attack Chenliu's Chu army camp. It is difficult to withdraw troops for a moment. The king ordered the general to act according to the opportunity. If it really doesn't work, he abandoned Liang County and retreated to Tai.
Guguan.”
"What!" Zhang Fei screamed, and there was an urge to curse on the spot.
The situation here is as dangerous as it is. My ten thousand remaining soldiers are fighting against Yan Liang's army several times. If you don't send troops to rescue you, you will attack the enemy camp instead.
Zhang Fei, who was irritable, wanted to curse on the spot, but he swallowed it back when he said something.
Just then, another scout came over and shouted, "Report to General, the enemy's offensive in the East Gate is too fierce, General Zhang Yan is about to be unable to defend it. Please divide the troops and horses to support it."
As soon as he finished speaking, another scout rushed to the top of the city and shouted in panic: "Ximen is in danger, General Taishi asks the general to send reinforcements quickly."
"Damn it, I'm in a hurry, so where are the reinforcements from here to save them?" Zhang Fei shouted in anger.
At this time, Zhang Fei was like an ant on a hot pan, so anxious that he was already a little confused.
At this moment, there were loud shouts of killing on the southwest side of the city head. There were several city walls that had been broken through by the Chu army, and dozens of Chu army attacked the city head.
The situation is over, and Liang County can no longer be defended.
Zhang Fei, who was angry in his heart, had a gray face. Although he was extremely unwilling to accept it, he could do nothing.
"Retreat troops, withdraw the entire army, quickly withdraw from the north gate and retreat to Taigu Pass." Zhang Fei had no choice but to issue an order to retreat.
Zhang Fei retreated first. When Taishi Ci and other generals learned the order to retreat, they hurriedly abandoned the various sects as if they were amnesty and led the remnants of the defeated generals to retreat to the north gate.
Yan Liang attacked the three gates, but stayed alone in the north gate but did not attack, just to leave an exit for the Yan army. Otherwise, they would be surrounded on all sides, which would arouse their determination to die. If they were determined to defend the city to the death, it would not be Yan Liang's desire.
See it.
There are no soldiers in the North Gate today, and everyone in Yan soldiers is lucky. Once the defensive situation is unfavorable, they will have the idea of running away.
However, Yan Liang's failure to surround the North Gate does not mean that he intends to let Zhang Fei go smoothly.
When Zhang Fei led more than 10,000 remaining soldiers and escaped from the north gate in shame, he suddenly heard the shouts of killing. In the dust and mist in the sky, a team of cavalry came from the slanting sect.
It turned out that it was Lu Lingqi who was ordered by Yan Liang and led three thousand light cavalry to cruis outside the north gate, waiting to intercept and kill the escaped Yan army.
Seeing the enemy fleeing in a panic, Lu Lingqi rode her horse like the wind, leading three thousand light cavalry, and rushed towards the panic Yan army like a storm.
