Near Qixian County, in front of the Zhengxi Camp, the sky is full of torches, reflecting the sky in the middle of the river, as if it had been lit, and it was as red as blood.
Fei Qian did not choose to engage in positional warfare with Liu Bei and Guan Yu, but relied on the camp for defense.
There are many reasons, the most basic of which is that since our side has the advantage in defense, why should we give it up so stupidly? Anyway, we have come a long way and it is cold and windy in the wild. No matter what,
The soldiers who consume a lot of physical strength are Liu Bei's side.
The two front camps on the left and right were the first to be attacked by Liu Bei's army.
The camp on the hillside was okay. After all, it had certain geographical advantages. In addition, some traps and antlers were arranged, which dealt a big blow to the attacking Liu Bei. For a while, Liu Bei's army was unable to advance to Zhengxi.
The right wing camp, let alone breaking through the defense line.
On the other hand, the camp on the left side of Zhengxi, which is slightly further back and close to the water source, is under greater pressure.
In the early stages of the battle, Liu Bei was relatively conservative and deployed in a relatively regular formation. He carried out tentative attacks and rushed towards the left camp of Zhengxi near the water source with the arrows fired from the Zhengxi camp.
Groups of Liu Bei's archers also moved forward to within shooting range, and tried their best to suppress the camp, providing cover for their own soldiers.
If you want to break through the camp, the trenches and various defensive equipment in front of the camp, such as horses and antlers, must be cleared first. The key points of the first wave of competition between the two sides often break out in this area.
Liu Bei's soldiers took advantage of the gap between their bows and arrows and Zhengxi's archers, and rushed forward. Some directly cut with the weapons in their hands, while others put ropes on them, and several people worked together to drag them.
Although most of the horses and antlers standing outside the camp were nailed into the ground, Zhengxi did not stay in the camp long enough. On the other hand, under the cover of the dim night, although there were torches shining,
, but we have to guard against the rain of arrows from Liu Bei's archers. We can't care about this end but not the other end, so Liu Bei's soldiers gradually destroy a way out...
Of course, Liu Bei also lost a lot of soldiers because of this. Many soldiers were running and often suddenly screamed. They looked up and were thrown to the ground by arrows. They were jumping in the light and shadow, trying to avoid the indiscriminate shooting in the air.
The arrows that come are completely based on personal luck. If you can't throw more than fifteen points in a test of the twenty-sided dice, you basically have no chance to come back a second time, and you can directly receive it.
The lunch box is gone.
Fei lurked inside the Chinese army camp, looked at the extent of the attack on the two battalions on the left and right, calculated the time, and then looked back at the horse camp behind him. When he was about to say something, he suddenly heard from the ravine of the stream behind him.
A group of Liu Bei's soldiers rushed out of the woods, bent their bows and arrows, and shot the rockets into the horse camp behind Zhengxi Camp, causing a commotion immediately!
Fei Qian was not surprised but overjoyed. He laughed loudly and said, "Oh, I'm finally here..."
The Zhengxi Cavalry has a great reputation, and no one can take it lightly. Therefore, as soon as Liu Bei came up, he sent people to bypass the hill and reach the other side of the stream. Then he used rockets to destroy the horse camp, and then reduced the strength of the Zhengxi Cavalry. Naturally, it became
The primary tactical choice.
The horse camp is hidden behind the Chinese army camp. There is a mountain barrier on one side and a stream and ravine on the other. The only flaw is the ravine on the side of the stream. Archers can mess up and shoot these war horses through the ravine without any scruples.
, and there is no need to worry about being attacked at close range. Therefore, these Liu Bei archers were very comfortable at the beginning. After shooting all the ten prepared arrows across the other side of the stream in one breath, they looked at the camp on the other side.
A lot of fire was lit on the bank, and the figures were swaying in the swaying fire. At first, I felt that General Zhengxi was not good enough, but soon I saw the fire on the other side rising into the sky, but there were no horses moving.
Not to mention any cavalry being hurt in this round of raids...
The tents and fences that were set alight seemed to be burning to their fullest. The flames shot up into the sky, illuminating this side. However, we did not see any Zhengxi cavalry, nor did we see many other soldiers. This was supposed to be
The camp where the Zhengxi Cavalry was located seemed to have become an empty camp.
Chen Dao, who commanded this group of 800 archers, suddenly felt a little guilty. He ordered the archers to stop attacking, and then opened his eyes wide and searched among the ignited fires on the other side, trying to find the army on the other side.
the location of.
"Shuisha..."
Some subtle sounds came from nowhere, mixed with the screams of fighting on the other side of the stream. Although they were not very obvious, they made Chen Dao feel a little nervous for some reason. Just when he felt that something was wrong, he suddenly turned around and looked back.
, and screamed out in fright!
I don't know when, behind Chen Dao and others, a large row of ferocious beasts appeared. Their hair was varnished in the firelight, and they were slowly approaching here. Those subtle "swishing" sounds were exactly these ferocious beasts.
It is emitted when the beast takes action.
Chen Dao shouted, which immediately caused many of Liu Bei's archers to turn around. They were also frightened and panicked...
Seeing that his whereabouts had been exposed, Ling Jie shouted loudly, then led his soldiers still wearing disguises, raised their sabers and shields, and charged forward!
Although archers are extremely sharp at long range, when faced with close combat units, most of them will be defeated immediately. After all, extreme long-range troops like Qu Yi have no other options. So when Chen Dao and others discovered
The ones up close are not ferocious beasts, but the soldiers of Zhengxi. Although they are freed from the panic of facing wild beasts, they still cannot escape the fate of being defeated in a blink of an eye...
In the battle at the horse camp, Chen Daodei went from smoothly launching an attack to finally being defeated by the hidden Ling Jie. As the commander-in-chief of the army, Liu Bei had no way of knowing. In other words, under the conditions of information transmission in the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei
He could only speculate on the changes in the entire battle situation based on the phenomena he saw. Therefore, when Liu Bei saw that the camp at the rear of Zhengxi suddenly caught fire, lighting up half of the sky, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He felt that there was no longer any cavalry to fight against Zhengxi.
When the risk of threatening the flank was high, he immediately asked Guan Yu to lead a part of the troops in the middle formation to advance towards Zhengxi's left camp, while he himself led the other half to attack Zhengxi's right camp!
The gap between elite soldiers and ordinary soldiers was clearly demonstrated at this moment.
Not to mention the improvement of soldiers' equipment that Fei Qian has been dedicated to since he was in Bingbei, the literacy work carried out among the lower-ranking sergeants in the soldiers ensured that the transmission of orders would not be attenuated, and would even be acceptable.
Some of the more complex instructions, just for this reason, are already much stronger than most of the current princes.
The gap in knowledge leads to different levels of soldiers accepting orders. Just like in the same type of strategy games, one is Dune 2. All instructions must be left-clicked to select the unit, and then the order is given in the command bar on one side.
One is StarCraft 2, which can not only be selected using the left and right mouse buttons, but also the shortcut keys and command paths on the keyboard...
When fire appeared in the Zhengxi rear camp and the scorching flames illuminated the night sky, the rest of the Zhengxi camps could not help but be somewhat affected. However, following the calm signals issued by Feiqian and the strong support of the middle-level non-commissioned officers of each battalion,
Under strong restraint, the panic Liu Bei wanted did not appear on the battlefield, but the confrontation continued according to the original deployment.
Faced with such a strong counterattack, Liu Bei was naturally a little surprised, but he still comforted himself in his heart. He had more important means. Zhengxi's current resistance was just the end of his strength, and everything was still under his control.
, as long as Liu Li acts according to the plan, the front line Zhengxi is currently trying to maintain will inevitably be defeated in one fell swoop!
In the left camp of Zhengxi, bunches of tallow pine torches illuminated the inside and outside of the camp. The sounds of soldiers fighting and roaring were like a stream flowing on one side suddenly bursting its banks, surging.
It swept through the camp and stirred Liu Li's eardrums.
The soldiers under Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi, have always been well-trained. No matter whether it is day or night, military law is strict in the military camp. Therefore, although Liu Li's troops are also in Zhengxi Zuoying, except for some personnel who carry out some
Apart from ordinary tasks, there were generally no opportunities for communication, let alone finding opportunities to destroy important equipment such as fortress walls.
However, when Liu Bei's army surged in, Liu Li and others found an opportunity, secretly gathered together, and then all looked at Liu Li, whose expression kept changing in the firelight...
The composition of Liu Li's soldiers is very complex. Some are Liu Li's own bodyguards, some are veterans who have followed Liu Bei for many years, and some are mercenaries recruited who only care about money. They are naturally used to cover up.
The expedition to the west was also Liu Li's excuse for defecting, and those veterans who had followed Liu Bei for many years were the most important means for Liu Bei to deliberately ambush him.
In the past two days, Liu Li quickly became haggard, the flesh on his face disappeared, and his eye sockets were sunken. His gaze was like a will-o'-the-wisp under the light of the torch. He looked up at the three-color flag fluttering on one side, and was silent for a long time, until
When Liu Bei's veterans looked impatient and fierce, they closed their eyes and waved their hands...
In the midst of the uproar, Liu Li's men suddenly started to cause chaos in the Zhengxi camp. Naturally, those who fought bravely to take the lead were these veterans who had followed Liu Bei for many years. The original backgrounds of these veterans were all different. Some were local heroes from Gaotang, and some were from Gaotang.
The warriors of the plains have one thing in common. They all feel that they have been favored by Liu Bei when they serve under Liu Bei, and now is the time to repay the favor!
As for the recruited men, they didn't have much brain juice in their heads. Now seeing this situation, their minds became more and more confused. They followed these Liu Bei veterans in a daze and timidly, walking a few steps to look at each other.
, then walked a few steps and looked again. Some followed Liu Bei's veterans and threw the torch into the tent. Some felt that something was wrong, and then silently hid in the darkness where the firelight could not shine and took advantage of the chaos.
escaped……
Liu Li launched his attack from the camp, and immediately the whole Zhengxi Zuoying camp was in chaos.
Guan Yu, who was intensifying his attack on the left camp of Zhengxi, was immediately overjoyed. After giving the order, he led his soldiers into three groups, followed Guan Ping, and headed towards the left side of Zhengxi with an almost crazy momentum.
The battalion stormed over.
Most of the obstacles outside the left camp in the west had been cleared during the previous outpost battles. The only thing that had not been completely destroyed was a ditch that diverted water from the stream in front of the camp. However, due to the winter
The soil is hard, and there is not much time to dig this ditch. Therefore, although the width is sufficient, the depth is not enough. Even though there is water in the middle of the ditch, there are no straight up and down walls on both sides of the ditch, so Guan Yu doesn't care about it.
After giving the order to attack without hesitation, the ditch was quickly filled with blood and flesh by the soldiers who rushed in crazily!
These soldiers rushed forward with shouts. Some of them were carrying wooden planks and ladders, ready to pass through. However, more people just held weapons and prepared to climb up. The earth wall on the inside of the trench
, it has not been completely repaired. It is high and low, and there are even gaps that have not been completely closed. It seems that as long as you climb the trench, you can rush through these gaps and go straight to the Zuoying of Zhengxi!
Amidst the continuous "plop" sounds, the soldiers under the command of Guan Yu rushed down the ditch in front of Zhengxi Zuoying and huddled together in the mud at the bottom of the ditch. The people in front were digging dirt on the wall desperately, preparing to change the slope.
The ones behind were more gentle, making it easier to climb up, while the ones behind were pushing forward regardless, trying to get themselves out of the mud and water as soon as possible.
More and more soldiers were crowded in the ditch. Whether on one side of the ditch or inside the ditch, they were all huddled together. Some people could not stand on top and were squeezed down.
Before he could get up, he was immediately trampled by the soles of other people's feet. He didn't even have time to complete his screams. Even the shameless one was pressed into the muddy water, and then countless pairs of feet stepped on...
Just when chaos reached, Liao Hua, who was still standing on the wall of Zhengxi Zuoying, shouted loudly: "Pour out the kerosene! Set fire!"
The black clay pot was thrown out of the camp and smashed into the ditch, hitting the heads of the crowded soldiers of Commander Guan Yu. When it was broken, the sticky kerosene spread everywhere, contaminating the vicinity of the ditch.
, it was also contaminated by these soldiers who were still pushing forward crazily! : :
More than a dozen or twenty torches were thrown out along with the kerosene jars. Although some soldiers of the Zhengxi soldiers were shot by Liu Bei's archers outside the village wall and fell down with screams, there were still many
The torch fell, and suddenly there was a bang, and fire rose into the sky!
Liu Bei's soldiers, who were crowded near the trench, were suddenly under the fire and let out inhuman screams!
The rising fire made the entire space seem to twist and shake, burning on the land! Burning on the water! Burning on the flesh! Burning everywhere that comes into contact with the fire oil!
The soldiers who were following closely behind hurriedly stopped, but the crowded queue could not be stopped so easily. There were a few unlucky guys who were pushed into the fire in the ditch by the soldiers behind them.
Amidst the screams, it turned into pieces of dancing black coal!
Guan Yu and Guan Ping looked at each other and found that each other's faces were a little pale...
Guan Yu is still relatively far back, and Guan Ping is really only twenty or thirty steps away from the trench. If he passes for a moment...
It’s unimaginable!
In the left camp of Zhengxi, Liao Hua saw that the fire had temporarily cut off Guan Yu's offensive momentum outside the camp, and immediately ordered all his soldiers to turn around, get off the wall, and move towards the camp's troops who were trying to break through the line to intercept Liu Li's troops and outflank and attack them.
