As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, a spy ran back on horseback and said loudly.
"Okay, Cao's army that went for a sneak attack has been repelled and has now withdrawn from the camp."
"What?"
Liu Bei was immediately surprised, "You said Cao Jun has been defeated. How is this possible?"
"That's true. Not only were they defeated, but they also retreated towards us."
Jian Yong's expression changed and he asked hurriedly, "Cao Jun retreated, did Yuan Shu Jun chase him out?"
"Yes, now the two armies are retreating towards us, one behind the other."
Everyone was shocked when they heard these words. Liu Bei's face turned livid, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "How far is it from here?"
"It's just five miles away!"
It’s over!
This thought had just arisen. When I raised my head, I could already vaguely see the fire approaching from the front. At the same time, I seemed to be able to hear the faint shouts of killing.
Jian Yong's face turned a little pale, "Oh no, if Yuan Shu's army retreats this way, it will happen to meet our army."
Mi Zhu said hurriedly, "Retreat your troops quickly, otherwise it will be too late."
Sun Qian sighed, "I'm afraid it's too late now."
Jian Yong said with a wry smile, "If we retreat now, once Yuan Shu's army catches up, I'm afraid the entire army will be annihilated."
Sun Qian nodded, "Now we can only fight head-on to have a chance of survival."
Jian Yong hurriedly raised his hand to Liu Bei and said, "Mr. Liu, there is a forest next to us. Hurry up and arrange a soldier and horse to hide inside. When Yuan Shu's army comes over, you can sneak attack from the flank. Maybe you can save the defeat."
The strength of Yuan Shu's army far exceeds that of Xuzhou's army. If it can not be defeated, it is considered a victory.
Liu Bei also knew that it was not good, so he nodded and turned to look at Zhang Fei, "Yide, hurry up and hide in the woods with a soldier. When the enemy comes, rush out from the flank and break the enemy in half."
Zhang Fei responded hurriedly and led a group of troops to hide in the woods.
Liu Bei turned to look at Guan Yu, "Yunchang, if you stay with my elder brother, you will only know how to fight."
While everyone was talking, the shouts of death in the distance were getting closer and closer, and the firelight was getting brighter and brighter.
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
"Don't let them get away!"
Liu Bei looked at Yuan Shujun who was getting closer and closer. He felt bitter in his heart, but he had no choice but to do it. He also knew that he was wrong, which made him unable to say anything.
Originally, the two parties decided to attack together, but he broke his promise, causing Cao's army to be defeated. After all, he blamed himself!
Just when Liu Bei was mourning and complaining, the soldiers and horses in front had already rushed in front of him. Cao Chun ran at the front and shouted loudly, "The soldiers and horses in front are Liu Shijun's soldiers."
Liu Bei hurriedly stepped out, "General Cao, the two of us will defeat the enemy together."
Cao Chun nodded and led his troops to the flank, waiting for the arrival of Yuan Shu's army.
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
Ji Ling arrived with his troops and horses. When he saw Liu Bei's troops, he immediately gave the order.
"The whole army charges. Today, I will completely defeat Liu Bei and get him out of Xuzhou."
Following the order, Yuan Shujun's soldiers immediately waved their weapons and rushed forward.
Not to be outdone, Liu Bei's troops also shouted and charged forward.
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
As soon as the two armies came into contact, they fought inextricably and refused to give in to each other. The battle was fierce.
But this situation did not last long for the Xuzhou Army, and they gradually retreated under Yuan Shujun's powerful attacks again and again.
Seeing that it was not good, Liu Bei hurriedly took Guan Yu and rushed into the crowd of Yuan Shu's army and started fighting.
When Ji Ling saw that his side had the upper hand, he was immediately overjoyed. Thinking of the sneak attack just now, he felt itchy with hatred.
"Liu Xuande, since you dare to attack our army secretly, you must bear the wrath of this general."
Just when Ji Ling felt that he was sure to win, suddenly, bursts of killing cries came from the woods nearby. Zhang Fei, who was ambushing in the woods, rushed out with a group of soldiers and horses and went straight to the flank of Yuan Shujun's army.
Rush away.
Zhang Fei was so brave, the snake spear in his hand was like lightning in the moonlight, and countless Yuan Shu's troops were stabbed to the ground one after another.
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
Yuan Shu's army was suddenly attacked by a sneak attack, and coupled with Zhang Fei's bravery, there was chaos and everyone retreated.
Originally, the front had the upper hand, but upon hearing the defeat at the back, people began to panic, and their combat strength was not as good as before.
When Liu Bei saw this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to charge, hoping to take the opportunity to overwhelm Yuan Shu's army.
It is a pity that Zhang Fei only attacked the left wing of Yuan Shujun, leaving the right wing intact.
Ji Ling remained calm in the face of danger and immediately commanded the troops on the right to rush forward to block the attack of Liu Bei and others.
At the same time, he commanded the troops in the rear to attack Zhang Fei's troops who were rushing in from the side, weakening the impact brought by the right wing.
If the forces of both sides are equal, Ji Ling's command will actually have no effect. People are already panicking, so how can they regain their strength?
However, Yuan Shu's army had a large number of troops and Liu Bei's troops were few. Zhang Fei in particular only brought about a thousand troops to sneak attack on the left wing. Although it caused a temporary chaos, it stabilized the chaos this time.
These more than a thousand soldiers and horses are actually nothing to worry about.
If he were an ordinary general, he might have been defeated in the first chaos. However, Ji Ling was the number one general in Huainan and the person Yuan Shu trusted the most. How could he be an ordinary person?
Although Ji Ling was attacked by a sneak attack, he remained calm in the face of danger and made the most correct judgment on the chaos.
It's just that Yuan Shu's army was attacked by a sneak attack, and the people were in chaos. Although they regained their strength, many soldiers still had no intention of fighting, leaving the entire army in chaos.
Faced with such a situation, Ji Ling was helpless. He just wanted to use the troops in the rear and the right wing to save the defeat and stabilize the morale of the army.
Although it is still chaotic, Ji Ling, with his many years of experience, can be sure that as long as there is enough time, he can save the situation and repel the enemy.
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
The two armies were fighting fiercely, refusing to give in to each other, and the battle continued fiercely.
Cao Chun and others had already taken advantage of this opportunity and escaped long ago. Only Liu Bei's army and Yuan Shu's army were left fighting.
Yuan Shu's army is very powerful, but it is not easy to defeat Xuzhou's army.
Guan Yu kept fighting beside Liu Bei, but when he saw his elder brother killing the enemy, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Although the eldest brother's martial arts is good, it seems that it has not reached this level yet, right?
At this time, Liu Bei was still holding two swords and fighting in the crowd, but his power was even worse than Guan Yu's.
Guan Yu was more than twenty steps away from Liu Bei. From such a long distance, he could actually hear the whining sound of the two swords being swung.
The two-pronged swords in Liu Bei's hands were like holding two small windmills, rushing left and right in the crowd.
