"Brothers, there is a lot of gold and wealth in the enemy camp. The heads on their shoulders are bounties. Rush in and chop off their heads, and you will get the bounty. If you chop off more, you may be able to become a general.
.”
"Ning would rather die. I hope you, like Ning, will bravely take the lead and break into the enemy camp. The Lord allows us to attack the front of the enemy camp. It is a sign of trust and affirmation for us, and it also gives us a chance to take credit. Kill!"
Gan Ning gave some words of encouragement before the battle, and after speaking, he led two thousand soldiers, ran at the front, and rushed towards the enemy camp.
Xia Houyuan stayed up all night, wearing armor and holding a sword, ready to resist the enemy at any time.
After receiving a report from the sentry, it was said that the enemy troops were attacking from three sides, and Xu Huang and Zhu Ling were blocking the other two sides. Naturally, he didn't need to worry about it. It was useless to worry about it at this time. The most important thing was to block the frontal attack.
His eyes were slightly dark, with bags under his eyes, and he shouted: "The crossbowmen are ready."
This is the advantage of guarding the camp. The antlers and ramparts outside block the enemy soldiers so that they cannot easily approach the fence. Then the crossbowmen in the camp can raise their arrows and shoot back the enemy soldiers.
Therefore, after setting up a camp, enemy soldiers will rarely attack the camp, and even if they chase them outside the camp, they will not chase them into the camp.
When Xu Huang pursued Guan Yu and was surrounded, Cao Cao was greatly amazed. He said that he had been using troops for more than 30 years and that among all the people in ancient times who were good at using troops, no one had ever driven a long way into the enemy's siege. He also said that Xu Huang's achievements were better than Sun Wu's.
and Rangju, from which we can know that chasing the enemy into a trap is very dangerous.
Not to mention attacking the camp.
Of course Zhou Ping also knew the degree of danger involved, and so did Liu Bei, which was why he seemed so hesitant before.
But they have no more options now. If they don't attack the camp, they can only wait for the outcome of the battle between Guan Yu and Cao Cao.
Just as Zhou Ping had considered, if Cao Cao was defending the camp, he would never propose to attack the camp. Now it is Xia Houyuan who is defending the camp. He has so many strong generals on his side and has won so many times along the way. His morale is high and he has the ability to attack the camp.
There is a great chance of winning, that’s why I recommend it.
To the north, Gao Shun was also conducting pre-war motivation.
"Sirs, Cao Cao imprisoned the emperor and killed his loyal ministers. My lord is loyal and righteous, and loves his people like a son. Most of you are people from Xuzhou, and you must know how my lord treats the people of Xuzhou. Cao Cao massacred the people of Xuzhou many times, but my lord did it to save the people of Xuzhou and the world.
The common people, who gave birth to children but could not see them, have been away from home for many years and have shared the joys and sorrows with you. Today we only need to attack the enemy camp and defeat the enemy until Xu Du rescues the emperor and brings peace to the world. Then you can go home and see your families.
Ambition, there is death but no life, kill!"
"The ambition to be trapped in a battle will lead to death but not life!"
The soldiers shouted slogans and followed Gao Shun towards the enemy camp.
Xu Huang also stayed up all night. In the middle of the night, although he felt that the enemy soldiers would not attack at night, he did not dare to sleep for fear of missing an important event.
Moreover, Xia Houyuan was explicitly ordered not to sleep. As a general in charge of the army, if he fell asleep, he would be disobeying the military order.
Now that I see the enemy attacking, I quickly give the order: "The crossbowmen are ready."
In the south, Zang Ba was wearing armor and holding a broadsword, and shouted to the soldiers: "Brothers, you follow me to fight with my lord. Although you have not made many achievements, you have avenged Captain Sun. Gan Xingba rode alone
We are chasing the enemy general, and now we are attacking the enemy from the front. We Taishan people are never afraid of death, we cannot let others look down upon us, kill him!"
"kill!"
Taishan soldiers followed Zang Ba and shouted loudly to attack the enemy camp.
Zhu Ling couldn't help but feel a little shocked when she heard the shouts contained a lot of courage.
But he is not a general without experience. When he followed Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou, although he did not kill many enemy soldiers, he also killed many people. He was not afraid of such a scene.
He just couldn't believe that Liu Bei's soldiers were so fearless that they dared to attack the camp.
"The crossbowmen are ready."
Zhu Ling gave the order, and the crossbowmen raised their arrows and stood by.
Liu Bei is wearing armor and has a sword hanging from his waist. Xu Chu and Zhang Wu are behind him.
With a solemn face and a hint of worry, he led three thousand soldiers to guard outside the camp, waiting for news from all parties.
He didn't know whether he could break through such a camp. If he couldn't break through the enemy camp quickly and he lost too many troops, the soldiers would lose the confidence to break the camp.
Once confidence is lost, soldiers will have no fighting spirit, and it will be difficult to defeat the enemy.
Therefore, in this battle, the camp must be broken. No matter what the cost, we can only win, not lose.
Zhou Ping also had the same idea.
He led a thousand soldiers to guard the camp, and Zhang Wu was sent to protect Liu Bei.
At this moment, he was also anxiously waiting for news about the attack on the camp.
In Xinji County, Cao Cao and Guan Yu each led their troops out of camp to prepare for a battle.
Gan Ning held up the wooden pole in front of him and ran forward with his waist bent.
He didn't know how many arrows were stuck in his wooden frame, but he saw people around him constantly being hit in the feet by arrows and falling down.
However, he was also pleased to see that when the person in front fell down, the person following behind who did not have a wooden frame would immediately pick up the wooden frame, carry a sword and spear and continue to rush forward.
At this time, the roars and screams were mixed together, and it was useless to say anything.
The ringing of Gan Ning's bells could no longer be heard, and only the two wings on his back could still be seen by the soldiers behind him.
With him rushing in front, the soldiers will not be afraid, let alone retreat.
Xia Houyuan placed many antlers outside the camp, as many as ten.
Originally, he just wanted to defend the camp and block Liu Bei's troops, and never thought of fighting Liu Bei.
This is the task assigned to him by Cao Cao.
Therefore, he did a good job in camp defense.
But what he didn't expect was that not only did Liu Bei really send troops to attack the camp, but the soldiers he sent were also so unafraid of death. He saw that two to three hundred people had been shot down. These people seemed to be completely unafraid of death and kept on fighting.
Rushing forward, he had already rushed to the antlers and started to pull them off.
"General, the enemy soldiers have pulled out their antlers."
The military lord next to him shouted hurriedly.
Pulling off the antlers means that enemy soldiers are likely to cross the trench and invade the camp.
If the enemy soldiers are allowed to get closer, the crossbowmen will lose their effectiveness.
"General, the enemy general has two feathers on his back. He is the one who killed Li Mancheng." Someone shouted again.
Apparently, he saw Gan Ning's two bodies exposed outside the wooden frame.
"Shoot quickly, block, don't let them cross the ditch." Xia Houyuan shouted urgently.
The crossbowmen were divided into three groups and took turns to shoot. When the first group fired, the second group raised their arrows and prepared to shoot, while the third group stood back to load arrows.
"Why do his ancestors have so many antlers?"
Gan Ning led his troops to pull out five or six layers of antlers. When he saw that there were still several layers in front of him, he couldn't help but curse.
At this time, he felt that the wooden pole he was holding was getting heavier and heavier, and it was obviously filled with arrows.
Many of the soldiers nearby still fell down. When pulling out the antlers, they couldn't hold wooden sticks in their hands, so they had to rely on others to help cover them. Sometimes, if they couldn't help themselves, they would be hit by arrows.
"Quickly, pull out the antlers and we can attack the enemy camp."
Gan Ning shouted loudly again.
Because he was in front, even though the soldiers following him were afraid of death, no one dared to retreat.
If you go back now, you will die. There are people behind to supervise the battle!
Chen Dao followed with two thousand soldiers and killed everyone who came back.
Similarly, if his people retreat, someone will kill them behind.
In the north, Gao Shun encountered Xu Huang, and the attack was even more difficult.
He found that three to four hundred of the two thousand soldiers he led had already fallen. At this time, he had just rushed to the antlers.
Fortunately, there were not as many antlers on the north side as there were on the front, only five or six layers. He led his troops and began to pull out the antlers.
Zhang Fei led his troops to watch and wait in the distance.
According to Liu Bei's tactical arrangement, only after Gao Shun pulled off the antlers and attacked the fence could Zhang Fei lead his troops to charge forward and break into the camp to kill the enemy.
Therefore, those in front are responsible for attacking the enemy, and those behind are responsible for killing the enemy.
"Hmph, Gao Boping is so slow. When will he be able to attack the camp gate and let me come?"
He asked the military prince to stay with two thousand men to supervise the battle, and then he would lead his troops to kill him after the camp fence was breached. He would charge forward with a thousand men first.
"General, no, my lord..."
But no matter how much Ren Junhou shouted, it was useless. Zhang Fei was not ignorant of his temper. He would only listen to Liu Bei's words, and everything else was in vain.
"Lieutenant Gao Xiaoxiao, General Zhang is coming with his troops."
The soldier next to Gao Shun turned around and saw Zhang Fei rushing towards him with his troops, and shouted hurriedly.
"What?" Gao Shun quickly turned around and saw that it was true.
"Quickly pull out the antlers, don't let him take advantage of us."
Gao Shun shouted again, knowing that this was the best motivational move.
Sure enough, the soldiers would rather die in battle than be looked down upon by others. They were even less afraid of death. Some even pulled out the antlers and even threw away the wooden posts for convenience.
Xu Huang was supervising the battle in the camp. The soldiers were not too panicked at first, but now when they saw the enemy soldiers outside the camp, they seemed not to be afraid of death. They suddenly attacked the camp and saw that all the antlers had been pulled out by them.
And far behind, another big black man came running towards him, followed by many soldiers and horses.
Many of them have seen this man, and they all know Zhang Fei, who beheaded Le Jin and then tied with Dian Wei, who carried a pair of eighty-pound halberds!
"Zhang Fei is here!"
Someone shouted in shock.
"Don't panic, Zhang Fei has nothing to fear! Hold the camp, spearmen, and halberd men move forward."
Xu Huang shouted loudly and ordered the spearmen and halberdiers to move forward.
The enemy soldiers pulled out the antlers and attacked the fence. At this time, the crossbowmen would retreat and let the spearmen and halberdiers go into battle to resist.
On the south side, Zang Ba's resistance seemed to be less fierce than on the other two sides, but unfortunately for him, for some reason, he was hit by an arrow in his shoulder.
It may be that the running wooden pole swayed and his shoulder was exposed, so he was shot.
But this is also a blessing among misfortunes. Fortunately, I wasn't shot in the foot, otherwise I wouldn't be able to continue rushing forward.
Zang Ba is also a master who is not afraid of death. Especially at this time, he must rush forward as long as he does not die.
He still had the arrow stuck in his shoulder and led his troops to charge forward.
These Taishan soldiers were actually more brave than the other two soldiers. Especially after seeing the arrow stuck in Zang Ba's shoulder, they were even more determined to die and rushed forward desperately. As a result, they quickly pulled out the antlers.
They crossed the trench, rushed to the fence, and began to work together to knock down the fence.
Zhu Ling started to panic and quickly sent troops to resist. He also sent people to report to Xia Houyuan, asking him to send troops to help quickly. The south side would be unable to withstand it.
