Chapter 24 The Battle of Zhuo County
Liu Yan was standing on the city gate tower in full robes, watching his own army attacking outside the city being defeated like a mountain and falling down like a mountain under the siege of the Yellow Turban Army on three sides, with a look of panic on his fat face.
The Yellow Turban army swept in, and the huge roar shook the sky and the earth.
At this critical moment, a brave general marched straight into the enemy's formation single-handedly, swung his sword, and killed more than a dozen of the enemy's leaders. Only then did he slightly curb the enemy's attack momentum and gain a glimmer of opportunity for the army to retreat.
The defeated army panicked and fled into the city. As you pushed and pushed, people kept falling to the ground and being trampled to death by their own people. There was chaos at the city gate, and these officers and soldiers seemed to have turned into homeless dogs.
Liu Yan was afraid that the Yellow Turban Army would take advantage of the situation and seize the city gate. He didn't care that there were still many officers and soldiers who had not entered the city, and wanted to ask the school captain who was guarding the gate to close the city gate.
At this moment, a general next to him suddenly pointed to the distance outside the city and shouted: "Look, sir!"
Liu Yan hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger, and suddenly saw a group of men and horses emerging from the woods in the distance. They were powerful and numbered thousands of people. They were obviously in the uniform of the army. The flag at the head was embroidered with the words
Two big square characters, 'Captain'!
Liu Yan and others were overjoyed and couldn't help shouting: "Great! The captain's reinforcements have arrived!"
Cheng Yuanzhi also discovered the sudden appearance of the army. Seeing that the enemy only had a few thousand troops, he didn't take it seriously, so he immediately ordered his deputy general Deng Mao to divide 10,000 troops to fight.
As soon as Liu Xian led his army to the battlefield, he was infected by the atmosphere of the grand battle in front of him. Then he saw a yellow scarf army peeling off and rushing towards him.
Liu Xian did not dare to neglect, raised his long sword Yun Lei, and shouted: "Form up!"
War drums rumbled loudly, and six thousand officers and soldiers quickly formed a military formation! The shield bearers and spearmen were in front, the crossbowmen were in the back, and the six hundred cavalry led by Zhang Fei were on the flanks, ready to launch an attack at any time.
As soon as Liu Xian's formation was completed, nearly ten thousand Yellow Turban troops swept over the mountains and plains!
Liu Xian narrowed his eyes, waved Yun Lei forward in his hand, and shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
The crossbowmen who were ready to go fired their arrows together, and countless arrows flew into the sky, falling into the middle of the Yellow Turban Army like locusts!
I saw many Yellow Turban officers and soldiers fell down after being hit by arrows, as if a raging wave had stirred up countless ripples!
However, this round of crossbow shooting failed to stop the Yellow Turban Army's offensive at all. They continued to surge forward, and they seemed to become even crazier after seeing the blood!
Liu Xian only had time to fire out three waves of arrows before the wave of Yellow Turban troops rushed in front of him and hit the shield line of the army heavily, making a huge roar like a stormy wave crashing on the shore!
The shield bearers used all their strength to stabilize the line, and the roars of both sides intertwined and made one sound!
The impact of the Yellow Turban Army wave was contained, and nearly ten thousand people crowded in front of the shield front, unable to advance or retreat for a while!
At this moment, the spearmen behind the shield bearer began to show off their power. They raised their spears and stabbed together. The screams were loud, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the Yellow Turban officers and soldiers were stabbed to the ground one after another!
The Yellow Turban Army could not advance or retreat, and for a moment they were completely in the position of being killed by the opponent!
This Yellow Turban Army was originally a mob. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but panic! The people in front wanted to retreat and crowded together with the people behind. You pushed me and pushed me. It was a chaos, and there were shouts and curses one after another!
Seeing such a scene, Liu Xian's eyes showed excitement. He turned around and shouted at Zhang Fei, who had already lost control, "Yide, give it to me!"
Zhang Fei promised loudly, let out a beast-like roar, led his six hundred cavalry to rush out, and slammed into the chaotic Yellow Turban army from the flank!
I saw the iron hooves rushing forward. This 600-man cavalry went straight into the depths of the Yellow Turban Army like a hot knife cutting through butter. It was like entering an uninhabited land. The Yellow Turban officers and soldiers were invincible and no one could stop them!
In the blink of an eye, the Yellow Turban Army was in chaos. Deng Mao was very anxious. He roared on his horse, but he couldn't control it!
Seeing the rare opportunity, Liu Xian launched a fierce attack with his entire army, roaring like a tiger and attacking like a tide, sweeping through them like chopping melons and vegetables!
The Yellow Turban Army finally couldn't resist, and threw away their helmets and armor and ran backwards. They fell like a mountain in defeat!
Liu Yan and others on the city wall were surprised and happy when they saw this scene. But Cheng Yuanzhi, who was commanding the main force to prepare to attack the city, was shocked. He did not expect that this army would be so fierce. It only took one round to attack the city.
Deng Mao's 10,000 troops were defeated.
He immediately ignored the attack on the city and quickly led the main force to fight against Liu Xian.
Liu Xian led the officers and soldiers to charge forward bravely. At this moment, a thick fog suddenly surged in front, and the Yellow Turban Army who was fleeing for their lives was immediately lost, and then a terrifying roar like a ghost crying or a wolf howling came with the wind!
Liu Xian was startled, and immediately reined in his horse and shouted loudly: "Stop advancing! Be on guard on the spot!" The six thousand officers and soldiers quickly retreated and formed a military formation.
In the blink of an eye, thick fog enveloped Liu Xian and his army.
The sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling became more and more intense, and suddenly, evil monster-like figures surged out of the thick fog, as if they were about to rush straight towards Liu Xian and the others.
Liu Xian was taken aback and shouted: "Stabilize the front!"
All the officers and soldiers were frightened when they suddenly saw the surging wave of evil and monster-like images.
However, the entire military formation was not chaotic at all. After all, they had experienced rigorous training in the past six months, which was like a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, so the ghostly images in front of them were not particularly scary.
Those demons and monsters bared their teeth and claws and howled in the mist, but the strange thing was that they didn't really rush up to attack Liu Xian and his army, they just showed off their power in the mist.
Liu Xian's heart moved and he shouted: "Set up rockets!"
The crossbowman quickly lit the rocket and was ready to go. Following Liu Xian's order, the crossbowman fired the rocket at the monsters in the mist.
Something unexpected happened immediately. The rockets flew away, and the demons and ghosts burned one by one. The originally scary howls suddenly turned into screams!
At this time, the fog had dissipated a lot. Liu Xian and the others saw that the Yellow Turban officers and soldiers threw the burning monsters in their hands to the ground, turned around and ran for their lives! After a long time of fighting, the monsters turned out to be made of paper!
Liu Xian was greatly amused, and felt that the sudden mist was probably fake and should have been caused by burning something.
Cheng Yuanzhi was furious when he saw that his magic soldiers were disintegrating. He led his army to Liu Xian's army, leapt on his horse, crossed his sword, and shouted loudly: "Where is this monster who dares to be an enemy of my way of heaven?"
Zhang Fei shouted and galloped straight out.
When Cheng Yuanzhi saw this, he immediately ordered Deng Mao to fight.
The war drums of both sides were beating loudly, and the officers and soldiers gave out loud shouts.
The two generals collided, Deng Mao shouted, raised his sword and tried to kill Zhang Fei.
Chapter completed!
