In the battlefield of Yanjin, after Niu Fu withdrew, the battle situation immediately took a shocking turn.
The key to this reversal was the sudden appearance of Yan Liang's army and a surprise attack on the rear of the Xiliang army.
Niu Fu had just left, leaving only Zhou Shan, a fierce general in Liangzhou, to sit here. Although Zhou Shan was quite brave, he was not as talented as the first-rate generals when it came to setting up troops and commanding troops.
There is still some distance to go.
When using troops to attack a city, the most taboo thing is to be attacked from both sides.
Yan Liang led his troops ashore from the north, then took advantage of the Liangzhou soldiers' fierce attack on Yanjin and was unable to escape, and took advantage of the chaos to rush into the enemy's formation.
Yan Liang took the lead and was unstoppable. Taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, he killed seven Liangzhou knights and led his troops into the enemy's left flank, causing chaos in the enemy's position.
Zhou Shan was horrified and hurriedly led the Chinese army to stop Yan Liang.
There was chaos in the rear, which naturally affected the sergeants in charge of siege at the front.
The officers and soldiers of the Xiliang Army were unable to break through Yanjin, and they were already very anxious. Now they suddenly heard that there was movement in the rear. The officers and soldiers hurriedly looked to the rear, and what they saw was the scene where the flanks of the rear array were being raided by the enemy.
Because the enemy's rear formation was attacked, the morale of the front line plummeted. Zhao Yun, Gao Lan and others keenly grasped the change in the mentality of the Xiliang army, and immediately urged their soldiers to strengthen their offensive, switch from defense to offense, and
The Xiliang army was expelled from Yanjin County.
Soon, the Xiliang soldiers gathered at the city gate began to withdraw to the rear to assist the formation. At the city gate, only a small number of Xiliang soldiers were left to block Zhao Yun and Gao Lan.
Zhao Yun raised the spear in his hand high, pointed the spear forward, and shouted loudly: "Kill the enemy! Follow me and kill the enemy!"
Then he rode his horse and charged towards the battlefield ahead.
Under his orders and leadership, more than a thousand elite white soldiers followed him and charged towards the battlefield ahead.
They broke through the inner city, broke through the city gate, and arrived outside Yanjin City. Under the light of the fire, they raised their weapons and began to attack the Xiliang Army's main formation.
Faced with the sudden attack from two sides by the Jizhou Army, Zhou Shan was at a loss for a moment. He had no idea which side of the enemy's army he should concentrate his forces on first and which side he should defeat first.
On the battlefield, the battle situation is changing rapidly. The general must react quickly. Only by seizing the opportunity at the critical time can the situation on the battlefield be changed. Otherwise, he will be passive and constrained at every turn until he is completely defeated by the enemy.
Not everyone can achieve a strategy that remains unchanged in response to ever-changing changes.
Zhao Yun took the lead. Before the enemy could react, he chased the retreating Xiliang army and went straight into the enemy's formation. The enemy's frontal formation was instantly disrupted.
On the city wall, Zhang He was overjoyed when he saw this. He shouted to the guards beside him:
“If you don’t beat the drum now, how much better will you wait!”
"Dong dong dong dong!"
As Zhang He finished speaking, the drums on the tower suddenly sounded.
As the sound of war drums resounded inside and outside Yanjin, the Jizhou army attacked faster, their sprint speed became more fierce, and their morale became higher.
The more ferocious the Jizhou Army's offensive, the more the Xiliang Army's morale and fighting spirit dropped. Facing the assault of these Jizhou Army, which was full of fighting spirit, the Xiliang Army's posture began to gradually collapse.
As for the general, Zhou Shan, his complexion looked ashen at this moment.
At this moment, a high-pitched roar suddenly sounded from the side of him.
Zhou Shan hurriedly turned his head to look, but Yan Liang, who was making a surprise attack on the flank, had already led his troops to charge in front of him.
Seeing Yan Liang's face filled with evil spirits, Zhou Shan subconsciously wanted to reach out his hand to block the opponent's weapon.
But Yan Liang's courage is beyond Zhou Shan's imagination.
Just by blocking Yan Liang's blow, Zhou Shan felt as if his shoulders and arms had endured a huge force. Severe pain in his arms, and a numbing feeling instantly spread throughout his arms, as if he had lost consciousness.
Zhou Shan's expression suddenly changed. He looked at Yan Liang in horror and shouted: "Wait a minute..."
Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, Yan Liang's second knife was already covering his head and killing him!
Zhou Shan's pupils suddenly became round, and then his eyes suddenly turned red, and a sharp pain hit him. The fierce general in front of him seemed to turn into two people in an instant, splitting to the left and right.
Then...
After that, the world had nothing to do with him anymore.
…
…
On the other side, Niu Fu led his troops and hurried back to his camp.
But when he rushed back, Zhang Fei's army had already withdrawn.
What was left to Ushisuke was a burned-out ruin.
Seeing that his camp had been transformed into a bird-like shape, Niu Fu felt a sharp pain in his chest.
"ah!"
Then he saw Ushifu on the horse, suddenly reaching out to cover his heart, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
"General!"
"General, what's wrong with you?"
The guards on the left and right hurriedly stepped forward to support Niu Fu, but he forcefully pushed him away.
"fine!"
Niu Fu took a deep breath of air to stabilize his mind.
After a while, when he recovered a little, he looked around and said, "Hurry up and send people to inquire around to see those who destroyed my camp, but they are far away!"
"only!"
"Check the camp and count the losses!"
"only!"
All of his men began to act separately, and Ushifu got off his horse. He found a stone and sat down, closing his eyes to meditate.
In fact, there was no big problem with his heart. It was just that the events that happened one after another last night were difficult for him to accept. In addition, when he saw the tragic situation in the tent just now, he was short of breath and felt a little tight in his chest.
Time is a bit uncomfortable.
Now that I have rested for a while, I have finally regained my strength.
Just when Niu Fu was regulating his strength, a Xiliang Army guard hurriedly ran in front of him.
"General!"
"What's the matter?"
"General, in that... camp, there is, there is..."
Niu Fu frowned, turned to look at the hesitant guard, and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it, why are you hesitating!"
The guard saluted Niu Fu: "General, you'd better come with me and take a look..."
Niu Fu was quite puzzled when he saw this.
What did we discover that is so difficult to talk about?
However, he still stood up and followed the guard deeper into the camp.
At this time, the night has passed and the sky has begun to light up. The situation in the camp can be seen clearly without a torch.
Niu Fu followed the guards to the commander's tent, but saw that the tents and baggage nearby were all burned to ashes. Only Niu Fu's commander's tent was still intact, which was obviously carefully maintained by the enemy.
In front of the commander's tent, a group of Xiliang soldiers were surrounding the commander's tent, observing something, and at the same time arguing with each other.
"This is a cow!"
"Nonsense, it's obviously a horse!"
"No, why does it look like a donkey to me?"
"It's a cow!"
"It's a horse!"
"That's the donkey!"
Amidst the hustle and bustle, Niu Fu suddenly heard a loud roar: "Everyone, get out of my way!"
This voice was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and the Xiliang soldiers were startled and hurriedly scattered to both sides, opening a path for Niu Fu.
With a gloomy face, Niu Fu walked through that road and arrived in front of the handsome tent.
Niu Fu's large banner was now hung at the commander's tent. There were several lines of large characters written on it, and next to the characters there was a picture scrawled in blood.
The soldiers of the Xiliang Army were illiterate, so when they saw the banner just now, they didn't know what was written on it, so they dared to gather around the commander's tent and point at the paintings on the banner.
If they knew how to pronounce those words, they would not dare to talk here even if they were killed.
Niu Fu looked at the words on the banner and felt dizzy.
Zhang Fei just left a few simple words to Niu Fu:
General Niu's 30,000 good men were defeated and perished in Yanjin County.
Zhonglang's general's men and horses were so aggressive that they failed to attack Li Yang and were injured instead.
The best son-in-law of Dong Xiangguo was always panicked when he was defeated in battle.
My brother serves Heaven to fight against evil, and he will punish you and other cunning captives like dogs and sheep.
At the end of a few sentences, Zhang Fei also drew a picture for Niu Fu - it was obviously a donkey, but it happened to have a pair of horns on its head.
Four exquisite small characters were written next to it: My son Niu Fu.
Although Zhang Fei was a fierce general and a butcher, his father paid special attention to his literary education. When Zhang Fei was young, he paid a lot of money to hire someone to teach him reading, calligraphy, and painting.
Therefore, although Zhang Fei looks rough, his handwriting is extremely beautiful, especially because he is also a good painter.
At this time, the sketch, which looks like a cow but not a cow, and looks like a donkey but not a donkey, is actually quite lifelike.
Niu Fu's eyes were wide open, looking at the donkey with horns, and then at the four words next to it - my son Niu Fu.
"Cough, cough...poof!"
Suddenly, Niu Fu saw a mouthful of blood spurting out from his mouth.
"General!"
"General Zhonglang!"
The Xiliang army attendants next to him rushed forward and helped him.
After Niu Fu spurted out a mouthful of blood, not only did he not fall down, but his energy doubled!
His brows were furrowed, his eyes were round and bloodshot, his eyes were full of anger, and his teeth were chattering.
Then, Niu Fu strode forward, pulled down the big flag, and then threw it to the ground.
"Zhang Fei, I swear to kill you!"
He didn't see who was writing on the banner, but Niu Fu had already determined in an instant that this was Zhang Fei's behavior.
Moreover, he firmly believed in it.
Soon, Niu Fu's scouts brought back news that Zhang Fei and others were walking eastward. They had walked about ten miles so far, and the number of people was not large, about a thousand.
After Niu Fu heard this, without saying a word, he got on his horse, urged the soldiers of the three armies to accompany him out of the camp, and ran eastward to attack and kill Zhang Fei!
…
At the same time, on the Yellow River, a group of warships sailed upstream, leaning against the rising sun, heading quickly towards the location of Jia Xu's garrison.
At the head of all the ships, there was the largest ship, racing ahead.
On the deck, there is a majestic and powerful man eight feet long.
He was wearing fine armor all over his body, and his pair of red phoenix eyes were rapidly observing his surroundings.
Finally, he saw the opponent's military camp faintly appearing in his sight.
Guan Yu's spirit suddenly shook.
He slowly raised the Qinglong Sword, then threw it to his side, and said: "Come here, pass my order! Get ashore!"
