Chapter 182 Someone went to take his head
"Dong dong dong dong dong..."
Both sides drummed loudly.
Zhang Fei led his troops towards the enemy's front line.
As a general in charge of the army, Yan Liang did not go into battle personally. He just stood on horseback under his command and ordered the troops to advance.
Beside him stood many captains and other generals.
"Hahaha, Liu Bei overestimated his own capabilities and came here to die. Look, I will behead Liu Bei today."
Yan Liang said proudly to the general beside him.
His front line consisted of 5,000 men, which was far more than the 3,000 men led by Zhang Fei, so he believed that he would be able to defeat the opponent's front line.
In his eyes at this moment, Liu Bei was already a dead man, it was just a question of when he would take his head.
There is also the black-faced general Zhang Fei, and the red-faced general’s military advisor beside Liu Bei.
"The general's bravery is unmatched. The general sent the general here to take Liu Bei's head!" A school captain said flatteringly.
"That's right, the black-faced general and the red-faced general were all invented by those yellow bandits. When they meet our General Yan today, it's their turn to have their heads removed!"
"The general killed Liu Bei today, and also killed the black-faced general and the red-faced general. Not only will he get a hundred gold reward from Master Yuan, but he will also definitely get a promotion and a bounty from the general. General Yan, don't do this in the future.
Forget to support us!"
Yan Liang couldn't help but feel proud of being flattered by others, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, easy to say, easy to say! Liu Bei is just a mat weaver and shoe seller, and those two red-faced and black-faced people, I heard, are also selling beans and butchering pigs.
Liu, I can take their heads at any time!"
"There is also the military advisor named Zhou Xing. I heard that this person has some intelligence, and General Yan cannot let him go."
"Hahaha, a weak scribe, there is no need for me to do anything. Just any pawn can take his head. Don't worry, Liu Bei's entire army will be wiped out today, and no one will survive!"
Everyone laughed happily.
At this time, the front lines of the two armies rushed together and fought with each other.
Zhang Fei rushed into the enemy, shouting and waving his spear wildly, stabbing down more than twenty enemy soldiers in a matter of seconds.
However, the soldiers and horses commanded by Yan Liang are very different from those of the Yellow Turbans and Yuan Tan's soldiers.
One of them was killed, and the people behind him immediately took over, always surrounding Zhang Fei, seemingly not afraid of death.
Zhang Fei didn't know how long he had been killing, nor how many enemy soldiers he had killed. He only saw many corpses lying on the ground, as well as the enemy soldiers who were always surrounding him.
I even almost got stabbed by enemy soldiers' spears a few times.
He was so anxious that he roared and shouted: "Hey, hey, hey, hey, you all must die for me!"
Liu Bei sat on his horse and watched from a distance. He couldn't help frowning and sighed: "Yan Liang is indeed the most effective general under Yuan Shao. He is very good at commanding troops, and his soldiers are brave and fearless of death. Yide failed to kill them."
Zhou Xing also secretly sighed in his heart, this Yan Liang is indeed extraordinary, his soldiers are very powerful and will not retreat easily.
Except for those who were close to Zhang Fei who were killed more, the other soldiers did not appear defeated, but had a slight upper hand.
The opponent has more soldiers, and with equal combat strength, the opponent is obviously at an advantage.
If Zhang Fei hadn't been fierce enough and penetrated deeply into the enemy, his own soldiers might have retreated.
"My lord, please order Zhao Yun to lead the cavalry."
Although Zhang Fei is fierce enough, with so many soldiers fighting against each other, it is definitely not enough to rely solely on the bravery of one general. In the end, it must be the soldiers.
This is also the reason why Liu Bei suffered repeated defeats despite Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in his early days.
There are strong generals but no warriors.
Although these soldiers are brave now, their opponents are equally brave and there are many of them, so they have no advantage at all.
Liu Bei nodded and said: "Okay, here's the order, Zhao Yun will lead the cavalry camp to advance."
The flag was waved, Zhao Yun received the order, raised his spear, urged the horse forward, and the cavalry on both wings rushed out at the same time.
Liu Bei didn't have many cavalry. He had previously acquired hundreds of horses from Liaodong, and adding in what he originally owned, the number of cavalry at this time was less than 1,000, with only more than 800 people.
Yan Liang saw Liu Bei's cavalry dispatching on both wings, and laughed and said: "Hahaha, Liu Bei's dispatch of cavalry at this time shows that he knows that he is difficult to defeat, so it's okay to let our cavalry also have a good time with them."
"Send the order, the cavalry will advance."
Yan Liang gave the order, and the two thousand cavalry on both wings rushed forward to meet the opponent's cavalry.
Youzhou and Jizhou produce armored horses. In addition to Youzhou, Jizhou also has no shortage of war horses.
Not to mention Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, even the Black Mountain bandit Zhang Yan has so many cavalry, so Yuan Shao will certainly not be short of them.
Yan Liang only brought two thousand cavalry, which was considered a small number. Yuan Shao would bring more cavalry to deal with Gongsun Zan.
Yuan Tan stood on the city and looked at it, the joy on his face getting stronger and stronger.
Although he kept staring at Zhang Fei, he saw that there were so many soldiers killed by Zhang Fei that he could not count them.
But seeing that overall, our own soldiers actually had the advantage, and many of the other party's soldiers were killed.
He knew that if he continued to fight like this, he would definitely win.
Immediately afterwards, he saw Liu Bei's cavalry dispatching again, and Yan Liang also asked the cavalry to meet them.
When the cavalry from both sides faced off, he had the numerical advantage and seemed to have a great chance of winning.
The only thing I'm worried about is that the opponent's cavalry is as brave as Zhang Fei.
He wielded a spear in his hand and stabbed, his horse galloped wildly, and in the blink of an eye he stabbed down a dozen of his cavalrymen.
"Who is this person? He is so brave!"
Yuan Tan pointed at Zhao Yun and asked the person next to him.
"Ming Shijun, I heard that this man's name is Zhao Yun, who is from Changshan in Jizhou. He was the one who killed Liaodong Gong Liaokang." Liu Xian, the other driver, replied.
Liu Xian had never met Zhao Yun, but he had heard about Zhao Yun's deeds in Qingzhou and knew that the cavalryman wielding the spear outside the city was Zhao Yun.
Yuan Tan was a little surprised: "He is actually from Jizhou, how could he be used by Liu Bei?"
"I heard that not long after he arrived in Qingzhou, it seems that he was invited by Zhou Xing from Jizhou. Ming Shijun, Liu Bei is hateful, and this Zhou Xing is equally hateful. If this person is not eliminated, Qingzhou and even Jizhou will always be in chaos.
”
"Well, fortunately, General Yan is here today. Liu Bei, Zhou Xing, and that Zhang Fei must all die!" Yuan Tan said bitterly.
The soldiers and horses outside the city were still fighting in a melee. For a while, it seemed that the outcome was difficult to determine.
Liu Bei sat up straight and looked nervously. When he saw many of his soldiers falling down, his heart was twitching.
He is afraid that he will fail. If he fails, his development over the years will be in vain.
"Military advisor, have we underestimated Yan Liang? This man seems to have extraordinary military skills. If this continues, it will be difficult for us to win!"
Liu Bei said worriedly.
"Yes, we may have underestimated Yan Liang. We didn't expect this person to be so capable! I originally thought that Yide could rush in and kill Yan Liang, but now it seems..."
"Humph, I'm going to take his head!"
