A large number of troops came over. Gan Ning saw this and had no choice but to retreat. At this moment and at that moment, the reason why a hundred fine cavalry were able to disrupt the Song army was entirely because the Song army did not take it seriously and underestimated the enemy.
This time Ji Ling died and the group was leaderless. Instead of retreating, the soldiers fought on their own and followed their own generals to kill them, just to achieve meritorious service.
Gan Ning and Su Fei immediately retreated, and they saw Wang Wei on the other side being forced back. Lei Bo and Lei Xu of the Song army blocked the gate of the Chu army's camp. Huang Zu and Zhang Yun were leading their troops to resist.
"Kill!"
Suddenly, Yuan Shu personally led his cavalry to fight out of the Song army's camp. When he saw Ji Ling being killed, he was furious, held a sharp sword in his hand, and fought out with all his strength.
"Xingba, the Marquis of Chu and my lord are trapped in a tight siege and cannot break out. There are enemies in front and behind. What should we do?" When Su Fei saw Yuan Shu coming from behind, he panicked and asked hurriedly.
Gan Ning said: "Follow me, break out of the siege first, and then think of another way!"
As soon as the voice fell, Gan Ning took the lead, leading Su Fei and a hundred fine cavalry to kill Wang Wei.
Wang Wei led hundreds of cavalry and tried to rush in many times, but they were blocked outside and could not rush in to rescue Liu Biao. While he was worried, Gan Ning came to him. He turned his face and asked: "General Gan, the enemy is here."
The siege is so thick that we can’t break through, what should we do now?”
Gan Ning frowned and said to Wang Wei: "The top priority is that we should break out of the siege first. As long as there are hundreds of riders outside, we have a chance to rescue the Marquis of Chu."
Wang Wei said: "General Gan is brave and brave. Wang Wei is willing to follow General Gan's lead."
Gan Ning couldn't help but said directly: "Okay, come with me!"
With an order, the two armies merged into one, and under the leadership of Gan Ning, they went straight towards the weak area of the Song army in the southeast direction.
Yuan Shu failed to pursue Gan Ning. When he saw Ji Ling's body, he howled suddenly, got off his horse, covered Ji Ling's body with a handful of loess, but his eyes became even more angry.
"Come here, take Ji Ling down and give him a good burial!"
His men immediately followed Yuan Shu's instructions and carried Ji Ling's body away.
Yuan Shu remounted his horse, holding the long sword tightly in his hand, and rode his horse to the front of the Chu army's camp. When he saw the mountains of corpses on the ground, his eyes suddenly filled with anger, and he shouted loudly: "Set fire to me! Burn them to death!"
Ji Ling's death made Yuan Shu angry. The man who had worked hard with him since childhood was gone, and he suddenly felt that a lot was missing in his heart.
Yuan Shu's relationship with Ji Ling is very subtle. He regards him as his slave, but also as his brother and friend. In short, most of what he has now is accomplished with the help of Ji Ling. He also plans to
After becoming emperor, he made Ji Ling a general, but it was a pity that it could only become a dream.
After Yuan Shu gave the order, the soldiers of the Song army set fire to the Chu army camp one after another, and the fire soon started...
……………………
"General Qi, the Song Army and the Chu Army are fighting fiercely. The Chu Army is losing to the Song Army and is likely to be defeated!" The Yan Army scouts rushed over quickly and immediately reported the military information they obtained to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun held the spear, and the heavy infantry behind him was still walking forward. He immediately nodded and shouted to the walking soldiers: "Soldiers, it's time for us to take the stage, speed up."
Zhao Yun, who smelled the war, knew that this was an extraordinary night. He did not let the soldiers stay, but moved forward all the way. After all, he could not wait and wait. Only moving forward was the best solution and the only way to let the heavy soldiers go.
The disadvantage of infantry is compensated.
"No!" The soldiers of the five thousand heavy infantry all replied in unison, and followed Zhao Yun and ran forward quickly.
………………
Huang Zhong was riding on horseback, watching a scout coming back from a distance, and immediately asked: "How is the battle ahead?"
The scout replied: "The Chu army was surrounded by the Song army and lost to the Song army. The Song army showed signs of engulfing the Chu army. Ji Ling, the general of the Song army, was beheaded by a man named Gan Ning. Yuan Shu was hoarse and was setting fire to the Chu army."
Battalion, Liu Biao and others tried to put out the fire, but because the fire was too strong, they could not put out the fire on the outside, so they had to retreat to the inner camp, and there were not many remaining troops."
"Very good! My lord is unparalleled in his wisdom. It seems that it is time for us to take the stage. The whole army will obey the order and advance towards the ruins of Luoyang!" Huang Zhong said happily.
……………………
Fires soared into the sky, and flame dragons raged.
The outer perimeter of the Chu army's camp was completely engulfed by fire, leaving only the inner circle of the camp imprisoned by loess. The remaining more than a thousand people were crowded into a palm-sized place, and everyone felt the heat.
Come on, the tongues of fire would jump in from time to time and burn one or two soldiers.
Fortunately, there was no wind, otherwise, these people would definitely be engulfed by the fire.
Liu Biao held the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo in his arms. Seeing the fire all around, he felt regretful. He raised the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo in his hand, looked at it again and again, shook his head helplessly and said: "Luoyang is the land of Longxing, Chuan Guo."
The national jade seal is the cornerstone of the country. Today in this land of Longxing, am I going to be buried with this cornerstone? Is the national jade seal... a treasure to restore my great man, or a disaster to kill my great man?"
Kuai Liang sighed heavily and said: "At this point, there is nothing we can do. Although Gan Ning is outside, he cannot break in, and there are fires surrounding him. I am afraid that he will be doomed today. This national jade seal is indeed an ominous thing...
…”
"Military advisor, I regret not listening to you and throwing away this imperial seal. I..."
"Yuan Shu is just trying to pass on the Imperial Seal. Although he and his lord are at odds, they are not fighting for their lives. If the lord can exchange the Imperial Seal and half of Jingzhou for his life, maybe Yuan Shu will let his lord live...
..." Kuai Liang said.
Liu Biao frowned and asked, "Does the military advisor want me to beg for mercy? As a descendant of the Han Dynasty, how can I beg for mercy from Yuan Shu's son?"
"My lord, I won't have to worry about having no firewood to burn the green hills. Yuan Shu is a greedy man. Maybe he will let my lord live because of this small profit..." Kuai Liang said.
"My lord, the military advisor is right. The general is willing to explain to Yuan Shu..." Zhang Yun said, cupping his fists.
Liu Biao said: "It doesn't matter, let's save our lives first."
Zhang Yunzhuang was bold and galloped out of the sea of fire, shouting loudly: "Song Hou, I am here to surrender, don't shoot arrows!"
Liu Biao, Kuai Liang, and Huang Zu didn't pay attention. They thought that if Zhang Yun didn't shout like this, he might not be able to see Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu saw Zhang Yun riding his horse in the sea of fire, but did not order his subordinates to release arrows. Then he saw Zhang Yun rushing out at the lead, got off his horse, knelt on the ground, and asked: "Are you coming to surrender?"
Zhang Yun nodded heavily and said: "Song Hou, I am indeed here to surrender. Liu Biao, Kuai Liang, Huang Zu and a thousand soldiers are still surrounded. They plan to use the imperial seal and half of Jingzhou and Song Hou as
In exchange, I want to let Liu Biao live..."
"Hahaha..." After hearing this, Yuan Shu revealed a ferocious smile on his face, "Is Liu Jingsheng dreaming? His army is about to be annihilated, how could I let him go? If he had given the jade seal to him early in the morning
Come out, maybe I will consider it, but it is too late now. I think you are not here to surrender, but to be a lobbyist, come on!"
"Wait a minute, Marquis of Song, I'm really here to surrender. Once Liu Biao dies, Jingzhou will be left without a master. Liu Biao's two sons are not enough to support him. I am the naval commander of Jingzhou and control half of the troops in Jingzhou. If I
If you come forward, the Marquis of Song can take Jingzhou without any effort..." Zhang Yun saw that Yuan Shu was about to kill him, so he hurriedly said.
After hearing this, Yuan Shu felt that it made sense and said: "Okay, very good. I just appreciate you as a person who understands current affairs. Get up and stand aside for now. When I kill Liu Biao and others and seize the jade seal, you can
Come with me to capture Jingzhou."
"promise!"
When Yuan Shu saw Zhang Yun standing aside, he immediately said to Lei Bo and Lei Xu: "Throw me a torch, throw it far away, and burn that bastard Liu Biao to death!"
Lei Bo and Lei Xu quickly directed the soldiers to light torches and throw them hard into the Chinese army's tent.
Hoo ho ho!
Torches flew over one after another, and as soon as they landed in the Chinese army's tent, the fire immediately burned the tent, and the fire started immediately.
In addition, the archers of the Song Army also lit fire arrows and fired, killing many people inside with the light of fire.
"Wow……"
"ah……"
Screams rang out from the Chu army's camp. Some were shot to death by arrows, and some were burned by fire. When some soldiers saw it, they immediately lost their fighting spirit and emboldened themselves to move towards the fire gate.
I ran, risking being burned, and rushed out quickly, shouting at me to surrender.
Liu Biao, Kuai Liang, and Huang Zu were all of one mind and did not move at all. Seeing that the situation was over, they all drew out their swords and committed suicide.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Yuan Shu was extremely happy when he saw that Liu Biao and others were all killed in battle.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a cold arrow shot from Yuan Shu's side.
Yuan Shu was shocked and hurriedly lowered his body to dodge. The arrow instantly penetrated his left arm, causing a burst of pain and almost falling off the horse.
He shouted and looked sideways to see Gan Ning, Su Fei and Wang Wei coming out from the southeast corner. He hurriedly shouted: "Kill them, kill them!"
Lei Bo and Lei Xu quickly led their troops to resist. More than 10,000 soldiers instantly surrounded Gan Ning and hundreds of horsemen, and the encirclement was impenetrable.
Gan Ning saw that the Chu army's camp was already in flames. He knew that Liu Biao and others would not survive. He was determined to die and shouted loudly: "Avenge the Chu lord! Kill Yuan Shu! Kill Yuan Shu!"
Su Fei and Wang Wei both followed Gan Ning's lead, and everyone regarded death as if they were dead. Hundreds of cavalry followed Gan Ning in one go and charged into the Song army's camp.
After fighting for a while, Gan Ning and others were finally outnumbered. There were only a hundred or so cavalry left from hundreds of cavalry. They were trapped in a tight siege and could not break out and had to fight to the death.
Suddenly, there was a roar from the earth, and a black torrent of steel came over from the southwest and southeast. Ten thousand Yan Army heavy infantry and cavalry pressed over like a flood.
"Yan Jun...Why did Yan Jun suddenly appear here?" Yuan Shu was surprised when he saw it.
