Eight hundred and eighty-fourth chapter decisive battle 9 is about to comeback
Guan Yu killed the owl in front of him with a single blow. The fact that the other party rushed in front of Guan Yu showed how bad the current situation was!
[The situation is not good. Although Yan Liang and Ju Sue were killed, our army lost all its energy after breaking through Yuan Shaojun's ten-layer defense line. The other side just used huge casualties and difficult breakthroughs to exhaust our army's energy! 】
After Guan Yu tried his best to charge forward but failed, he was secretly worried.
"General, something bad happened. Our left wing was broken through by Yuan Shao's army. General Li Ran is leading his headquarters to fight the enemy general Lu Kuang!" A soldier rushed over and shouted at Guan Yu.
"Chen Jin, lead a unit of Yuan Shao's army to block my right wing!" Guan Yu roared. Once Yuan Shao's army breaks into the central army, it may completely block his return. Similarly, Liu Bei, who is behind the central army, may also be attacked.
attack.
When Chen Jin led a group of troops to Guan Yu's left wing, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang had already killed Li Ran, and Guan Yu's army was fighting back hard. However, after two hours of fierce fighting, Guan Yu's army was already somewhat defeated by Yuan Shao, who was waiting for work.
Right wing mixed corps.
Similarly, Cabbage on the other side had already fallen under Wen Chou's sword. The angry Wen Chou led his troops directly into Gan Ning's middle army, preparing to cut off Gan Ning's retreat and then kill Guan Yu to avenge Yan Liang.
At this moment, Yuan Shaojun's left and right wings had successfully captured Liu Beijun's front army. Basically, from this moment on, Liu Beijun's front army had little hope of being able to withdraw on their own. They would either die in battle or fight their way out.
The bloody path pushed Yuan Shaojun back, or he could only rely on external forces.
"General, the military commander has an order. Cut off the central army!" Probably less than five miles away from the battlefield, Gao Lan, who led his army from the Bohai Sea, was already in place.
"What? How could such an order be given?" Gao Lan said in shock. In his opinion, the most correct approach now is to go around to the rear of Liu Bei's army and launch a surprise attack on Liu Bei's headquarters.
"The military commander personally issued an order, requiring you to directly attack the Chinese army! The goal is to directly cut off the Chinese army!" the messenger said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
"Send my order to the general, and the whole army is on horseback, ready to charge!" Gao Lan stared at the secret order, and after confirming its authenticity, he roared immediately.
Fifteen miles east of the battlefield, they rowed a small boat and took a shortcut after landing ashore. However, even with all their efforts, Xu Shu and Wei Yan still could not block Gao Lan's Bohai Jingqi!
"There is nothing we can do. We need to rest for half an hour and we can't make it in time." Xu Shu said with a long sigh. He guessed at that time that the other party was Gao Lan who was stationed in Bohai Sea. He knew more clearly what the other party's goal was.
It's a pity that even if Xu Shu knew the opponent's goal. He knew who the opponent was, knew what methods the opponent would use, and knew how the opponent would move, Xu Shu still had no idea. He tried his best to attack the opponent through the waterway all night long, but he still couldn't.
If Gao Lan is not blocked, this is the difference in mobility!
But now that the reorganized legion was so exhausted, even if it rushed to the battlefield, it would not have much fighting power, so Xu Shu finally chose to rest at a distance where the cries of killing could already be heard.
"Yuan Zhi, our army was a quarter of an hour late. The scout came to report. He had already seen Gao Lan's banner ten miles ahead. When he withdrew, the opponent had already mounted his horse and was preparing to charge. Do we still have to rest here?
"Wei Yan said impatiently. After a night of running around, he finally came to this result.
"We must rest. Even if the opponent launches an attack, we must rest. We need to rest for half an hour before we can regain our combat effectiveness!" Xu Shu said in a deep voice. He was actually very anxious in his heart, but he calmly comforted Wei Yan and Guan
flat.
"What's more, the lord has generals around him, like General Gan, and there are also capable ministers like Military Advisor Jia, Military Advisor Guo, and Governor Lu, so he will have no worries." Xu Shu seemed to be comforting Wei Yan, but in fact he was cheering himself up.
After all, the strategy of transferring Gao Lan from Bohai to Yanzhou is too dangerous. Unless you have great courage, it is difficult to agree. You must know that Gao Lan's departure means that the defense of Bohai County, the largest county in Jizhou, is empty. Fighting against Bohai, Liu Bei must also be destroyed.
Yuan Shao’s ambition is evident!
"Okay, let's rest for half an hour, order the soldiers to rest and eat something, and we will launch an attack after half an hour!" Wei Yan said as calmly as possible, he did not want his panic to be transmitted to his soldiers.
The soldiers under Wei Yan's command are all elite veterans of more than ten battles, and a small number of them belong to the city management troops that Wei Yan shamelessly detained!
Of course, this is also because Liu Bei admires Wei Yan very much and turns a blind eye to this aspect. However, it is precisely because of this that this reorganized army can rush to Yanzhou overnight. Otherwise, if other armies do this, they will not be able to survive even if they still have the courage to do so.
I want to fight, but how can I rest like this and eat something to have the strength to fight again?
After receiving the order, all the soldiers under Wei Yan's command flexed their muscles and bones on the spot and swallowed the dried meat Xu Shu had given them last night.
Xu Shu, who knew the urgency of this battle, threw away the extra baggage and food last night, distributed all the dried meat to the soldiers, and each received three steamed buns and went straight on the road. Now this group of people are just swallowing the dry food and drinking.
When walking on the waterway, use bamboo pipes to fill the water.
When Wei Yan's army was taking final rest, Liu Bei's army encountered the biggest crisis since the beginning of the war. Gao Lan's 6,000 elite cavalry followed the order issued before the trial and directly cut in from the center of the encirclement, killing Liu Bei's army and Yuan Shao's army at the same time.
Cut in half!
Compared with Yuan Shaojun's strength, the shortcomings of Liu Bei's army being cut into two sections were completely exposed. Moreover, because Gao Lan charged regardless of the enemy's or our casualties, Liu Bei's army had no time to defend and was cut into two sections.
As a result, Liu Bei's front army was completely surrounded by Yuan Shao's army. Guan Yu, Xu Chu, and Gan Ning were all trapped in the formation, making it difficult to break out.
Gao Lan, who penetrated from east to west, joined the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry with open jaws the moment he rushed out of the army. At the same time, he launched an attack on Zhao Yun, who had less than a thousand bodyguards. After killing Zhao Yun, they were enough to defeat Liu Bei.
The army behind the army is also surrounded!
Gao Lan started from the east and penetrated Liu Bei's army's center. Wen Chou and Lu Kuang's front army rushed forward, preparing to completely cut off the connection between Liu Bei's front and center.
"Wu Anguo, just form a phalanx to defend, there is no need to counterattack!" Seeing Lu Su preparing to order Wu Anguo, who was guarding a few of his people, to lead an army to rescue the front army, Jia Xu said calmly.
"Wen He, if we don't join forces with the front army led by General Guan and others to open the encirclement at this time, our front army will be completely trapped!" Lu Su said immediately in shock, and Liu Bei's expression became serious at this time.
