On the middle battlefield, when Liu Bei made a surprise attack and defeated Liu Jing's left army, Jingzhou Army Commander Wang Wei followed the plan and immediately threw all his reserves into the battlefield in an attempt to defeat Liu Jing's front army, and then surrounded Liu Jing's middle army with Liu Bei's army, locking them in one fell swoop.
Victory.
This plan is not without possibility of success, but Wang Wei's opponent is the tiger general Gan Ning.
At the critical moment, Gan Ning did not shy away from arrows, went in and out of battle formations, and encouraged the soldiers. The former soldiers became determined and as strong as a rock. Until Liu Bei was defeated and fled, the Jingzhou Army failed to break through the former army's positions.
With the return of Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, Gan Ning, who was furious after being attacked by the Jingzhou Army, immediately launched a fierce counterattack against the Jingzhou Army.
For a time, the three powerful generals Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan fired three arrows at once and advanced together. They led their troops to defeat the Jingzhou Army's attack first, then drove straight in and counterattacked the Jingzhou Central Army's position with an unstoppable force.
At the same time, Han Guangbu on the right also cooperated with the front army from the flank to attack the Jingzhou Chinese Army.
"Kill..."
Under the leadership of Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan, Liu Jing's soldiers were red-faced, roaring wantonly, waving their swords and spears, and poured into the Jingzhou Chinese Army's position like a tide. For a time, the soldiers of both sides were fighting each other, fighting madly, and the sound of war drums sounded.
The shouts of killing, screams, and the sound of metal and iron mixed together and shot straight into the sky.
Huang Zhong entered the formation first from the right, and slashed out with the red sword in his hand like thunder. He saw two red swords streaking across the sky. The two enemy soldiers standing in front of him had no time to react, and the heads on their necks left their bodies and fell.
Landed on the ground.
Huang Zhong didn't wait for the corpses to fall. He swung his arms and collided with each other. The two headless corpses were knocked upside down and flew into the crowd behind them, causing a chaos. Huang Zhong took the opportunity to rush into the crowd and slashed left and right, killing everyone.
extravagant.
Huang Zhong was as fierce as a bear and extremely brave. With such a fierce general taking the lead, Liu Jingjun's soldiers were naturally fearless and fought bravely to kill the enemy.
Huang Zhong marched forward without hesitation and led his troops to break through several formations of the Jingzhou Army. At this time, Han Guang also attacked the Jingzhou Central Army's position from the flanks. One of them went north and the other to the west, and they attacked the left side of the Jingzhou Central Army.
Attacked on the front and back, the army was immediately defeated and the soldiers scrambled to flee.
Later, Huang Zhong and Han Guang joined forces. They did not pursue and kill the enemy soldiers who had fled, but went straight to the backbone of the Jingzhou army. The so-called backbone was where the commander was.
The backbone not only has the responsibility of protecting the commander, but also often serves as the reserve team of the entire army. Therefore, the backbone is usually the most elite unit in the army.
However, Wang Wei made a desperate move before and threw all his reserve troops into the battlefield. Almost half of the backbone troops were taken away. Now Huang Zhong and Han Guang joined forces to attack. Wang Wei's troops were stretched thin and it was difficult to parry.
"Pfft!" Han Guang pierced the left chest of an enemy soldier with his spear, crushing his heart. Then he galloped forward with his horse, avoiding the spear blades and halberd blades attacking him from both sides, and followed Han Guang.
Dozens of Han and Qiang knights, slashing with swords and spears, wiped out the enemy soldiers on both sides in an instant.
Han Guang, on the other hand, moved forward intently, using the momentum of his horse to stab with his spear, killing two more people.
Han Guang led dozens of cavalry in the front to charge into the battle, and the army followed up, expanding the results, and finally defeated the enemy's formation, making every move unfavorable.
However, what surprised Han Guang was that the opponent in front of him showed extremely amazing resilience. This cannot be explained by the elite backbone soldiers alone. You know, the current situation of the Jingzhou Army is very bad, but the Jingzhou soldiers are not at all.
Signs of collapse.
"Perhaps the reason lies with the commander of Jingzhou Army, Wang Wei." Han Guang sat high on his horse and looked at Wang Wei's flag dozens of steps away.
As the saying goes: A general is the courage of a soldier. The soldiers of Jingzhou fought to the death and refused to retreat, which is enough to prove that Wang Wei led the troops well and won the hearts of the soldiers. From this point of view, Wang Wei did not live up to the name of a famous general.
At this moment, Wang Wei was so angry that he flew into a rage. Liu Bei and Piao Zhongman were defeated and fled one after another, which directly exposed the right wing of the central army to the enemy. The situation in the center and left wing was also extremely critical, and our side was bound to lose this battle.
The only thing that can be done now is to minimize losses and avoid being completely annihilated by the enemy. It is obviously impossible for him to do it alone. Zhang Yun must cooperate with him to advance and retreat together.
However, just now, Zhang Yun on the left wing did not even say hello, and fled with his troops alone. Zhang Yun obviously used him as a bait to attract the enemy's attention in order to escape.
Wang Wei's lungs were about to burst with anger. Zhang Yun, a shameless man who had lost consecutive battles and lost his army, was not punished because he was Liu Biao's nephew. When Liu Biao appointed him as the deputy general of the army, he should have refused with all his strength. Read
At this point, Wang Wei felt filled with regret.
A Sima retreated from the front line with blood on his face. He persuaded Wang Wei and said: "Zhonglang, both the left and right have been defeated. The front can no longer withstand it. Zhonglang, give the order to retreat. If we don't retreat, we will all die without a burial place."
That’s it!”
Wang Wei looked at the phalanxes in front of him, one after another, falling apart one after another, and the soldiers fleeing for their lives. Feeling sad, he gritted his teeth and said: "Withdraw."
Following Wang Wei's order, the backbone soldiers stopped fighting and scrambled to escape. Under the protection of his personal guards, Wang Wei mixed in with the surging crowd and fled towards Yicheng in the rear.
However, what Wang Wei didn't know was that Huang Zhong had already set his sights on him. Seeing that Wang Wei was about to escape, he immediately led his troops to the north, cutting through the waves along the way, and successfully intercepted Wang Wei.
Seeing that his way was blocked by the enemy, Wang Wei was about to break out desperately, but found that the leader was Huang Zhong. Although he and Huang Zhong were not on friendly terms, they had some contacts because they were both from Nanyang, and he knew Huang Zhong.
Zhongxiaoyong, knowing that he was unable to defeat him, raised his voice and said: "I heard that Han Sheng fell into Jingnan with the army, and there was no news. I was worried about Han Sheng. I didn't expect that the day you and I meet again, it will be like this.
The situation is truly amazing!”
Huang Zhong was not a cold-blooded person. Hearing the king's heartfelt words, Huang Zhong was deeply moved and said: "In today's world, not only the king chooses his ministers, but the ministers also choose their king. General Anyuan is an outstanding hero and a good master. Why not return to him?"
?”
Wang Wei didn't even think about it, so he shook his head and refused: "Of course Anyuan is a hero of his generation, but the general treated me well and entrusted me with the responsibility of commanding the army. Defeat is already a disgrace to the general. If I surrender to the enemy again, what will I have in the future?"
Standing between heaven and earth?"
Huang Zhong sighed and said: "The king wants to be loyal to Liu Jingzhou, and I also want to run for Anyuan, so let's live and die according to our own abilities."
When Wang Wei heard this, he couldn't help but became anxious and said: "Does Han Sheng have to use the blood of his old friends from the country as a way to enter the country?"
After that, Wang Wei didn't wait for Huang Zhong to react, and was about to walk around Huang Zhong.
Wang Wei was the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou Army. Huang Zhong never dared to let him go. Just when he was about to take action, a long arrow suddenly pierced the sky, passed through the dense flow of people, and shot into the back of Wang Wei's neck.
Unprepared, Wang Wei immediately fell forward and fell to the ground. Souls of the dead were coming out from left and right. He hurriedly helped Wang Wei up, only to find that his neck had been shot through by an arrow, and the blood instantly dyed the skirt of his clothes red.
Such an arrow wound is undoubtedly fatal. Even if you don't die immediately, you won't live long, and you will have to endure endless pain every moment until you die.
Wang Wei did not want to be tortured to death, so he weakly waved his hand to his guards, indicating that they could escape alone and leave him alone.
Then Wang Wei slowly sat up, his eyes widened, he held the arrow shaft on his neck hard, and suddenly pulled it out, blood immediately poured out like a waterfall, and Wang Wei died of serious injuries in an instant.
"Zhonglang..." Wang Wei died so fiercely that all the guards on his left and right burst into tears.
Huang Zhong was also stunned on the spot. He looked back in the direction of the arrow and saw a brave cavalryman galloping on horseback with a long bow in hand. It was Han Guang.
Huang Zhong suddenly realized that only a sharpshooter like Han Guang could kill Wang Wei with one arrow in such a chaotic situation.
Wang Wei's bodyguard lay on the corpse and cried bitterly. They exchanged a look with each other, then stood up together, went upstream, roared and killed Han Guang, trying to risk their lives to avenge Wang Wei.
Although their act of loyalty was admirable, their strength was limited. Before they even got close to Han Guang, they were swarmed by his knights and killed them all.
Huang Zhongxing walked to Wang Wei and sighed in his heart when he looked at the fellow countryman who died with his neck rotted away.
Han Guang also rode up and asked, "Does Han Sheng have any history with this person?" He just happened to see Huang Zhong's hesitation.
Huang Zhong nodded and said: "We are from the same county. The king has talented generals and is a famous general in Jingzhou. I just wanted to persuade him to submit to the general, but unfortunately the king refused to surrender. It is better to die in the hands of the public servant than to be killed by me.
Kill this fellow countryman."
Han Guang ordered his left and right officers to cut off Wang Wei's head and put it into the skin bag on the side of the horse. At this time, the bag already contained a head. This was also a captain worth two thousand stones. Han Guang killed two generals in one battle.
, including the enemy's general Wang Wei. As expected, he will definitely be more successful than all the generals in this battle.
Han Guang was not satisfied with this and continued to lead his army to pursue and defeat the enemy. Huang Zhong lost the ability to capture Wang Wei and had to summon up his remaining courage to pursue the enemy vigorously.
Tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops were defeated and fled in two directions. The first was Yicheng. The Jingzhou troops formed their formation with their backs to Yicheng in this battle, so the largest number of people fled into Yicheng. The second was Yicheng.
Southwestern fortress.
Of course, some people fled directly to the north, but they often could not escape far before they were overtaken by Liu Jingjun's cavalry. In the end, they were either killed or surrendered. Very few of them managed to escape.
Before the Jingzhou Army camp, it was mainly the residence of the Piaozhong barbarians, with the Han army occupying only a small part. After the Piaozhong barbarians were defeated, they did not return to the camp, but fled directly back to their hometown in Piaozhong.
Therefore, the Jingzhou Army camp was almost defenseless and was only defended by the defeated soldiers who had fled into the camp.
As a defeated general, Gao Xiang was eager to redeem himself with meritorious deeds. He personally led more than 2,000 soldiers of the left army to storm the Jingzhou military camp and defeated it in a fierce battle.
The Jingzhou Army camp was defeated in a battle, but there was a slight situation in Yicheng. It turned out that Liu Jingjun's soldiers were chasing the defeated troops all the way, and were preparing to take the opportunity to invade Yicheng.
However, Zhang Yun and Liu Bei, who escaped back to Yicheng first, had already organized a defense. Liu Jingjun's several attacks were defeated by the two.
What made Liu Jing even more annoyed was that Yicheng also launched an extremely fierce counterattack during the period. Under Liu Bei's instruction, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others led hundreds of cavalry to suddenly rush out from the west gate of Yicheng. Wei Yan's troops were at the forefront,
He was the first to bear the brunt and was caught off guard. Wei Yan was also almost killed by Guan Yu in the battle.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others retreated when they saw the situation, and fled back to the city before Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, Han Guang and others surrounded them. Wei Yan was so angry that he jumped up and down.
In the afternoon, the two sides basically ended the battle. Liu Jingjun won the final victory at the cost of more than 5,000 casualties and 13,000 prisoners. Although the Jingzhou Army was defeated, there were still 78,000 people and the Yi army was still alive.
The city is enough to continue dealing with Liu Jingjun.
Liu Jingjun's soldiers returned to the camp one after another, and a sumptuous post-war meal was ready.
The soldiers went out to fight at sunrise and fought fiercely with the Jingzhou army for most of the day. They only had one breakfast before the battle. From noon on, they were already so hungry that their hearts were on their backs. As soon as the food was served, the soldiers began to gobble it up.
stand up.
I would like to add a sentence, it is really good, it is worth installing, after all, there are many sources of books, complete books, and fast updates!
"Huo Bomiao also died in the battle?" Liu Jing looked gloomy in the Chinese army's tent. Since there had been no news from Huo Du, he had been mentally prepared, but he still felt sad when he heard the news of Huo Du's death.
Endless.
Huo Du may not be as talented as his younger brother Huo Jun, but he is still a rare talent. Liu Jing did not know why Huo Du did not leave a name in history like his younger brother Huo Jun. He probably died of illness and died early. Liu Jing originally thought that his
Destiny will be changed by himself. Unexpectedly, in the end, he still failed to change his destiny.
Gao Xiang couldn't hide his grief and said: "When the army was defeated, I only knew that he was not among the rebels. I don't know whether he was dead or alive. Someone had just found Huo Bomiao's body. His face was completely disfigured and it was difficult to identify him. He could only be identified from
The seal and ribbon he wears confirms that he is Huo Bomiao."
Liu Jing fell into silence after hearing this, and finally spoke after a long time: "Although Bo Miao's body was broken, he still had his whole body, but Chu Ziping's head was taken away by Guan Yu. He died in peace."
Wei Yan was almost killed by Guan Yu before, and he became angry and said fiercely: "General, we will attack Yicheng in the future. The last general is willing to be the first to attack Guan Yu, kill Guan Yu, and retrieve Chu Zhonglang's head."
Liu Jing frowned and said: "Although the enemy army was defeated in this battle, our army also suffered a lot of casualties. Within Yicheng, there are still thousands of enemy troops, and the people defending the city are Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei
, we must at least gather an army five times that of the enemy before we can have any hope of success."
The thought of having to mobilize troops from the rear gave Liu Jing a headache. After all, he had recruited 8,000 troops from the rear after capturing Jiangling, and now he had to recruit at least another 8,000 to 10,000 people. Fortunately, Zhang Jin
With it eliminated, the south has no worries, and he can mobilize troops and horses to the maximum extent.
Pang Tong suddenly said: "Actually, it is not difficult to break Yicheng."
"Oh?" Seeing Pang Tong's confident look, Liu Jing couldn't help but be startled. He really couldn't think of how to capture Yicheng except by attacking by force. Just as he was about to question Pang Tong, the guards suddenly came into the account and reported that Yiling Shou
Huo Jun sent an urgent envoy to ask for an audience with Liu Jing.
"Something happened in Yiling?" Liu Jing's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately summoned an envoy to check in.
The envoy from Yiling entered the tent and saw that it was full of people. He did not dare to speak casually to avoid revealing the military situation. It was not until Liu Jing asked him that he said: "On the day when the general launched his troops for the Northern Expedition, brothers Deng Zhong and Deng Ren of Zigui gathered their troops.
Thousands of Yi soldiers rebelled, and now everyone west of Yiling has rebelled..."
