Inside the city gate tower, Zhang Fei was like an angry bull, pacing back and forth, roaring loudly: "There are 25,000 Jingzhou troops outside the city! A total of 25,000 people! That's 25,000 It will take most of the day to kill a thousand pigs, right? But Wang Wei and Zhang Yun are better off. They started fighting at sunrise, but they couldn't hold on until midday. What a waste! What a waste!"
Guan Yu stroked his dark, thick beard and long beard, and said with a serious look on his face: "There are no heroes in the south, which is why Liu Jing's son became famous. If Liu Jingzhou handed over 25,000 troops to the command of the general, all the thieves in Jingnan would , the backhand can be defeated.”
Zhang Fei said angrily: "Jingzhou is in danger and its fall is not far away. But even so, Liu Jingzhou still can't trust the general. With this measure, it's no wonder that he can't keep his foundation."
Seeing that Zhang Fei was speaking more and more openly, Liu Bei, who had been silent all this time, had no choice but to remind him: "With virtue, you must not talk nonsense."
Zhang Fei looked unconvinced and continued: "The name of the general's faith is famous all over the world. Liu Jingzhou has a deep city. He used his faith to coerce the general to conquer the Jingnan thieves. He only said that after the success, we would attack Cao's thieves together and rescue them. The royal family is like this, there is no real benefit at all."
Liu Bei frowned and said, "What do you mean by Yide? Liu Jingzhou and we have the kindness to take him in, and it is our duty to help him quell the chaos. How about profit? Are we fighting for profit?"
"..." Zhang Fei couldn't help but feel amused. Sometimes he felt that Liu Bei was too naive. This kind of naivety was not suitable for troubled times, but it was this naivety that made him stick with him to the death.
Guan Yu on the side suddenly pointed outside the city and said: "General, look..."
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei heard this and followed Guan Yu's hand. They saw a large vermilion flag rising in the distance in the Jingzhou army formation. This was the signal for the attack agreed upon by both parties. Wang Wei could no longer withstand it and was attacking them. Ask for help.
"Trash!" Zhang Fei cursed again.
Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Fei calmly and said nothing, but Zhang Fei obediently closed his mouth, and then Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu again.
Guan Yu stroked his beard and said proudly: "General, give me an order. Today, I will let the ignorant Jiangnan thieves see what a hero is in the world."
Zhang Fei also said to Liu Bei: "Fei will definitely take off Liu Jing's head for the general."
Liu Bei slapped Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's generous shoulders with both hands, and warned solemnly: "Although Liu Jing is young, he has fought countless big and small battles since he raised his army. He swept across Jingzhou and handed over two states. He has never been defeated. He is by no means an easy man." With others, Yun Chang and Yi De must not underestimate the enemy."
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both clasped their fists and agreed, but they didn't think so in their hearts.
The three of them had been together day and night for more than ten years. How could Liu Bei not know what they were thinking? However, he did not say anything more and spoke from his heart. Even he did not regard Liu Jing as an equal opponent.
Because Jingnan has always been a barbarian land since ancient times, and has never produced any prominent figures. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Guangwu revived the Han Dynasty and whipped the world. Jingnan did not waste a single soldier. It depends on the message. .
Therefore, even if Liu Jing suddenly emerges, it will be difficult for Liu Bei to regard him as a powerful enemy.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei walked out of the city gate tower and gathered their followers. Within a moment, 600 cavalry and 3,000 infantry gathered at the foot of the city.
Among these 3,600 people, less than 1,000 were his direct descendants who actually followed Liu Bei in his southern and northern campaigns. The rest were soldiers donated by Liu Biao after he came to Jingzhou last year.
However, Liu Bei's generosity and benevolence were very popular among the people. In just one year, both Jingzhou soldiers and Guanzhong soldiers all returned to Liu Bei.
The battle was about to begin. The veterans were fine and had long been used to it, but the recruits looked nervous and uneasy. Liu Bei had been in the army for many years and had rich experience. With a few words, he calmed the soldiers and then ordered people to open the city gate.
As the heavy city gate slowly opened, the boiling battlefield came into view. Liu Bei kicked the horse's belly hard and rushed out of Yicheng first.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other generals followed closely behind with 600 cavalry.
After that came three thousand infantry led by Chen Dao, Zhuo Ying, Shi Ren, Fu Wei and other generals.
Liu Bei rode his horse across the trench bridge and then headed to the right. When he was observing the battle in the city gate tower, he had already decided to attack Liu Jing's army from the right. Because the Jingzhou army's left was close to Mian River, and Liu Jingshui was above Mian River.
If he chooses to attack from the left, he will be easily attacked by Liu Jingshui's army.
In addition, the Jingman troops on the right wing were retreating steadily under Liu Jingjun's offensive, and were almost on the verge of collapse. If no help was provided, they would collapse. Once the right army was defeated, they would be unable to recover.
Now every second counts, and there is no time to lose. Liu Bei led 600 cavalry around the battlefield on the right side. Without waiting for the infantry to come to join them, he directly launched a charge against the left army led by Chu Fang.
Under the fierce attack of Liu Jingzuo's army, the Jingman position was riddled with holes and could collapse at any time. At the moment, the soldiers of Liu Jingzuo's army were either chasing fugitives or going deep into the enemy's formation. The formation could no longer be called rigorous.
The 600 cavalry led by Liu Bei suddenly appeared on the flank like divine soldiers descending from heaven. Chu Fang, Huo Du, Gao Xiang and other generals were all shocked.
"Rumble...Rumble..."
Six hundred cavalry, one hundred men in a row, were arranged in the sixth level, with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun as the spearheads, rushing down in one fell swoop.
If Han Guang was born in Liangzhou, he might be able to deal with it calmly, but although Chu Fang is Liu Jing's leading general, he has never been out of Jingnan in his life, and he has no experience in dealing with cavalry. Facing 600 cavalry
The charge was at a loss for a moment, and he could only shout with all his strength: "Form up...set up pillars...raise spears...bows and crossbows..."
Although Huo Du and Gao Xiang came from Jiangbei, they were not direct descendants of Liu Biao, but came from local wealthy families. Like Chu Fang, they had no experience in dealing with cavalry, so they could only imitate Chu Fang and form formations to resist the cavalry. :
(/
"Rumble..."
As the six hundred cavalry lined up in formation and swept in like a stormy wave, Chu Fang's heart was beating fast and he almost felt suffocated, and large drops of sweat rolled down his forehead.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, Chu Fang was like this, and his soldiers were even worse. They all looked pale and frightened, and almost wanted to turn around and run away.
"Shoot..." Chu Fang looked ferocious and swung the long knife in his hand hard.
Liu Jing's left army was reluctantly gathered together in one position. In an instant, hundreds of arrows flew out towards the enemy cavalry with a roaring sound.
Liu Bei's cavalry were mainly composed of Wuwan natives from Youzhou. It is no exaggeration to say that their combat experience was comparable to that of Han Guang's old troops. They stuck their bodies tightly to the horses' backs. After the final round of arrows, those who fell off their horses
There were only twenty or thirty people, and most of them were hit by arrows on their mounts.
Liu Bei's cavalry detoured from behind the formation and suddenly appeared on the flank. Liu Jingjun fired a hail of arrows, and the two sides were already approaching.
"Boom!"
After a loud noise that could shake the sky, the wall lined by Liu Jing's left army was instantly riddled with holes by Liu Bei's cavalry.
