Although Liu Bei was successfully repelled, Liu Jing still felt humiliated. Liu Bei attacked and killed General Chu Fang, routed the left army, charged directly into the central army, and approached his subordinates. This reminded him of the famous Battle of Hefei in the history of the Three Kingdoms.
Of course, he believed that he was much stronger than "Sun Shiwan". Historically, Sun Quan attacked Hefei with a hundred thousand men, but Zhang Liao led 800 men to attack Hefei first, beheaded General Chen Wu, wounded Xu Sheng, and defeated
He followed Song Qian and rushed all the way to Sun Quan's command. He was invincible and unstoppable.
Later in the battle at Xiaoyaojin, Sun Quan was beaten so hard by Zhang Liao that he almost threw himself on the street and fled in panic, which left him with a psychological shadow. He did not dare to covet Hefei again for more than ten years. Even if Zhang Liao was seriously ill, he did not dare to stroke his tiger beard.
.
But what Liu Jing faced was a sudden attack by three to four thousand cavalry led by Liu Bei. His subordinates Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were all powerful generals who could match or even surpass Zhang Liao.
Although his own losses were heavy, Liu Jing also lost most of Liu Bei's cavalry, and the infantry was also in danger, so it was not a big loss.
Watching Liu Bei fleeing far away, Liu Jing said to his left and right: "Ma Zijin can defeat Liu, Guan, and Zhang with his own strength. It is a real iron wall. If it weren't for Zijin, I would have been forced by the people selling shoes today."
Although Liu Jing and Liu Bei are both the eldest sons of the Liu family, Liu Bei's sneak attack really caused Liu Jing to suffer a heavy loss. Naturally, he would not show mercy and directly used Liu Bei's story of weaving mats and selling shoes with his mother when he was young to ridicule him.
He is a shoe-peddler.
Such vulgar words that expose people's shortcomings are indeed a bit unpalatable, but they are also interesting. With the crisis resolved, everyone laughed for a while, even Zhuge Liang was no exception.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "The one the Jingzhou Army relies on is Liu Bei. Now that Liu Bei has been defeated, the Jingzhou Army can do nothing."
"That's right," Pang Tong pointed to the battlefield on the left wing and said to the crowd: "Look, the Pizhong barbarians have begun to retreat after seeing Liu Bei's defeat."
Xiang Lang said: "The Qizhong barbarians were lured here by profit. Now thousands of people were killed and injured in the battle. The situation of the Jingzhou army is not good now. The Yi King Meiping must have become frightened and wanted to retreat."
Pang Tong continued: "If the barbarians want to leave, let them go. We should concentrate all our efforts to deal with the Northern Army. The barbarians do not know etiquette and are afraid of the strong and bully the weak. There is nothing to worry about. As long as we defeat the Northern Army, they will
Take the initiative to come and ask for attachment."
Liu Jing nodded repeatedly when he heard this. During the conversation, Liu Jing's words of praising Ma Zhou as "Iron Wall" quickly spread, and some people began to call Ma Zhou the "Iron Wall Captain".
Gradually, more and more people responded. Finally, all the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army raised their swords and spears and shouted in unison: "Colonel Iron Wall... Colonel Iron Wall..." The cheers spread across the battlefield in an instant, shaking the surrounding areas.
In addition, Ma Zhou sat on the Hu bed and commanded the battle. Some people also called him "Hu bed captain".
Huang Zhong and Wei Yan hurried back from the front line with their troops. Just in time to see this scene, Wei Yan couldn't help but sighed: "I came back too late and let that 'lame horse' perform extraordinary feats."
Huang Zhong saw that Wei Yan, a fellow from Nanyang, spoke freely and called Ma Zhou a "lame horse". He couldn't help but frowned and said: "Wen Chang, Ma Zijin is the general of Jingnan and the general's favorite. These words will never matter from now on."
Don't say it again, lest it spreads and becomes the subject of criticism."
"What the elder brother is saying is..." Wei Yannai was born as a ranger and had an arrogant and arrogant temperament. There were very few people who could admire him, and Huang Zhong happened to be one of them. Huang Zhong was an elder from the same town and took good care of him. He knew that Huang Zhong
Loyalty is for his own good, so accept it humbly.
Wei Yan thought in his heart: "After this battle, no one will dare to call Ma Zhou a 'lame horse' in the future. Alas, Ma Zhou is a lame man. If the general had not taken pity on his old feelings, he would not have been able to stay in the army. I didn't expect that he would be a lame horse today."
I actually got lucky and defeated Liu Bei in one fell swoop. Soon my fame will spread all over the world and be known to the world..."
In his opinion, Liu Bei's troops were limited, and Ma Zhou was able to repel him, but it was just a coincidence that he, Wei Yan, could do the same.
Wei Yan was thinking this in his mind, but without stopping, he climbed up the short slope side by side with Huang Zhong, and walked to Liu Jing's command. The soldiers bowed and said: "I waited for the rescue to arrive late. I hope you will forgive me, general."
"Han Sheng, Chang Wen has tried his best to rush back, what's the crime?" Liu Jing stepped forward to help the two of them up, and asked with a smile: "Han Sheng, Chang Wen, do you still have the strength to fight again now?"
Huang Zhong and Wei Yan subconsciously glanced at each other, clasped their fists together and said: "Our strength is inexhaustible, general, just give the order, and we will help the general break the formation and attack the stubborn enemy."
"How magnificent!" Liu Jing applauded, and immediately asked the two men to lead their troops back to the front army, join Gan Ning, and counterattack the Jingzhou Central Army.
Just as Huang Zhong and Wei Yan rushed back to the front line, on the battlefield on the left, as 4,000 rear army infantry arrived, Cai Sheng and Liu Liang took the opportunity to break away from the battle. After a short rest, they each led their cavalry and marched from the battlefield respectively.
The two wings launched an overwhelming charge against Liu Bei's infantry.
Cai Sheng and Liu Liang took the lead. They galloped forward on their horses and advanced with unstoppable force. With two people setting an example, the two battalions of cavalry raised their spears and knives at the same time. Everyone forged ahead and moved forward.
Liu Bei himself had fled, and his infantry and soldiers had no fighting spirit. The reason why they were not defeated was because of the pressure of the generals. Now they were attacked from three sides by Liu Jing's infantry and cavalry. They immediately collapsed, and the soldiers collapsed like a flood that broke a dike.
Cai Sheng and Liu Liang led the second battalion of cavalry to pursue and defeat the enemy, and took advantage of the situation to attack the Pakzhong Barbarians who were fighting with the left wing remnants led by Gao Xiang.
"Father, let's go quickly..." A young man in his twenties, with a heroic appearance and wearing exquisite armor grabbed Yi King Mei Ping's arm and urged.
His name is Meifu, and he is the eldest son of King Meiping of Yi. He is also Meiping's think tank and general. He is different from the ordinary Pizhong barbarians. He grew up under the education of Han teachers. Although he is not versed in scriptures, he is also quite wise.
. He saw that the situation was not good and repeatedly advised Mei Ping to retreat.
However, Mei Ping considered that his territory in Qianzhong was, after all, right under Liu Biao's nose. Although Liu Biao was in a weak position, it was more than enough to deal with him. He was afraid of running away and being liquidated by Liu Biao afterwards, so he hesitated.
Unexpectedly, Mei Ping's hesitation immediately cost him and his troops the chance to escape from the battlefield safely.
Cai Sheng and Liu Liang led the cavalry into the Piaozhong Barbarians, slashing with swords and spears, killing them wantonly. Although the Piaozhong Barbarians came from Jingbei, they were not much different from the Jingmans in Jingnan, and they had no way to deal with the cavalry.
The experience was so great that he was instantly defeated and defeated.
At this time, Mei Ping could no longer care about anything else. He immediately abandoned his troops and fled with his eldest son, Mei Ping, and dozens of personal guards. They escaped from the battlefield, bypassed Yicheng, and headed north.
Cai Sheng and Liu Liang led their cavalry to defeat Liu Bei's infantry and Pizhong Barbarians one after another, achieving a great reversal on the defeated left-wing battlefield.
