Chapter 148 Lord, Captain Zhang rushed too fast

The two armies faced each other, and their troops and horses were about the same size.

Yuan Tan had 15,000 men and Liu Bei had 12,000 men.

But in Liu Bei's heart, he was very sure of victory.

Among the generals in Yuan's army, the only ones he feared were Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and the rest had no reputation.

Yuan Tan's general, Yan Jing, was mediocre and unknown, and had no reputation for bravery at all.

Even Yuan Tan has never heard of him using military tactics. He is not as good at using troops as Cao Cao or Yuan Shao.

Liu Bei knew that his ability to use troops was not as good as Cao Cao's, but compared with Yuan Tan, he was definitely higher than his opponent.

Now that Zhang Fei, Taishi Ci, Liu Zheng and other brave men are at his disposal, defeating Yuan Tan is almost certain.

Zhang Fei led 3,000 soldiers to the front line. They had already formed a formation and were just waiting for Liu Bei's order to rush forward to kill the enemy.

Taishi Ci followed Liu Bei.

Liu Bei knew that Tai Shici's military force was almost as strong as Zhang Fei's, but when it came to charging into battle to kill the enemy, Zhang Fei was more suitable than him.

Liu Zheng led three thousand soldiers to form the rear formation.

Yuan Tan was also wearing armor, with a long sword hanging from his waist, sitting on a high horse, looking at Liu Bei in the distance opposite him.

"General Yan, this battle is very important. You can only win, not lose. You have to raise your troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. Today is the time for you to use force. If you can kill Liu Bei, I will reward you with a hundred gold. If you kill Zhang Fei, you will be rewarded with ten gold.

Don’t let me down!”

Yuan Tan turned around and said to Yan Jing next to him.

Yan Jing immediately raised his hand and said: "General, don't worry, I will take Liu Bei's head and present it in front of the general's horse!"

"Okay, then let's march in."

Yuan Tan said calmly.

Regarding this battle, Yuan Tan is also confident that he will win.

"No."

Yan Jing responded loudly, turned to the ordering soldier and said: "Send the order, advance the troops in the front line."

With the flags waving and the drums beating, Yuan Tan's front line of five thousand troops advanced forward.

Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses were regular soldiers and horses. When tens of thousands of soldiers and horses fought, they did not rush towards the enemy like a mob, but marched in formation and coordinated attack and defense.

Liu Bei looked from afar and saw that the opponent's soldiers and horses were well organized and advancing step by step, and he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

I almost underestimated the enemy because of my carelessness. It turns out that Yuan Tan is not so unbearable.

Although he has no brave generals, his soldiers are elite soldiers.

It can be seen from the opponent's neat formation that these soldiers and horses do not only eat and sleep but also train.

However, many of our own soldiers are newly recruited, or they were trained while farming in the military camp, and there is still some gap between them and the opponent's soldiers and horses.

Liu Bei no longer smiled as before, but looked solemn, holding the hilt of his sword tightly in his hand, and ordered: "Order Zhang Fei to advance and break the enemy's front line."

Dong dong dong dong dong…

The flags of the order waved, and the sound of marching drums resounded through the sky.

Zhang Fei held the spear in one hand and the reins in the other. He raised his eyes and looked at the enemy formation advancing toward him. He couldn't hold back for a long time. He wanted to rush over and disrupt the enemy formation as soon as possible and kill the enemy.

At this time, when he saw the marching flag waving and heard the marching drum beating, he immediately raised his spear and roared: "All officers and soldiers, listen to the order and follow me to march!"

Zhang Fei also saw that the opponent's troops were well organized and approaching step by step, but he had no fear or worries in his heart.

I always feel that as soon as my horse charges and my spear sweeps away, the opponent's military formation will immediately collapse.

Zhang Fei raised his spear and slapped his horse, charging at the front. Although the soldiers and horses he led also advanced in formation, compared with the opponent's formation, they seemed chaotic.

Moreover, Zhang Fei relied on his own force and ran too fast, gradually getting further and further away from his own formation.

"Lord, Captain Zhang rushed too fast!" Tai Shici said worriedly.

Liu Bei had already seen it, and he was feeling worried at this time.

In the past, he did not lead many troops, and most of them fought against the Yellow Turban bandits. Zhang Fei rushed in front and charged into the enemy, which was indeed able to frighten the enemy.

However, what we are facing now are well-trained soldiers and horses, with strict formations and unified advance and retreat.

If a person rides alone and rushes into the enemy's formation, he may be surrounded by the opponent's soldiers and horses, making it difficult to escape.

Liu Bei nodded and said: "Well, Yide has always been like this. He refuses to listen to my repeated advice. He is just too courageous."

Tai Shici added: "If you separate your troops from each other, you are afraid that the formation will be chaotic. Once the formation is chaotic, it will be difficult to control the advance and retreat. The Yuan family's soldiers and horses are no better than the Yellow Turban Bandits. They obey orders and prohibitions. Don't take it lightly!"

In fact, Taishi Ci understood that Zhang Fei was not a brave man, but actually underestimated the enemy and was trying to be a hero.

If he were commanding the troops, he would not be able to rush to the front. Instead, he should advance with the soldiers, so that the soldiers can always be under his command and not be easily disintegrated.

Why didn't Liu Bei understand Taishi Ci's concerns?

But Zhang Fei has always been like this, no matter what he says, he won't listen.

This time, not only Zhang Fei underestimated the enemy, but he also underestimated the enemy. Otherwise, Zhang Fei should not have been allowed to lead the front line.

But now we can no longer change generals on the spot, we can only hope that Zhang Fei can use his courage to disrupt the enemy's formation.

Liu Bei and Tai Shici stopped talking and raised their eyes to look ahead.

Taishi Ci held on to his halberd at the same time, ready to lead his troops to rush forward at any time to help Zhang Fei and work together with him to repel the enemy's front line.

A smile appeared on Yuan Tan's face at this moment. He pointed at Zhang Fei who was galloping on his horse and said to the general Yan Jing beside him: "General Yan, is this the black-faced general Zhang Fei who is rumored to be unbeatable?"<

/p>

"It's this person." Yan Jing replied.

"As a general who leads the army, he rides alone and abandons his soldiers behind. It shows that this person does not know how to lead troops. Maybe he thinks that we are as vulnerable as those yellow scarf thieves in Guan Hai! Hahaha, this is also true.

It can be seen that Liu Bei does not know how to use generals, and Liu Bei will be defeated today!"

Yuan Tan was secretly happy.

Liu Bei doesn't know how to employ people, which is a good thing for himself.

In Qingzhou, Zhang Fei's reputation was as loud as thunder. He heard comments from time to time. People even said that this black-faced general was extremely powerful. The spear in his hand was as long as three feet. With one spear, he could kill a hundred people at the same time.<

/p>

I also heard that he once killed a thousand people by himself while riding alone with a spear.

Of course Yuan Tan would not believe these rumors.

Now it seems that this Zhang Fei should indeed be strong in force, otherwise he would not dare to ride so far alone.

However, today may be the day when the black-faced general will perish.

The famous figure in the legend of Qingzhou people will change from Zhang Fei to himself. Thinking of this, Yuan Tan couldn't help but smile even thicker on his face.

In the distance, Zhang Fei galloped on his horse and ran to Yuan Tan's military formation, about to meet the opponent's soldiers.

The general leading the front line suddenly shouted: "Change the formation and attract the enemy."

The soldiers in Yuan Tan's formation immediately moved aside to make way for Zhang Fei to rush into the formation. Then, the soldiers who had just avoided quickly closed up again, trapping Zhang Fei in the formation.
