"It was reported that Gan Ning in the east had pulled out his antlers and was crossing the ditch to attack the fence. The soldiers were injured more often. Five to six hundred people were hit by arrows and fell to the ground."
"Report, General Zhang Fei from the north has led troops to attack in advance. At this time, the fence has been knocked down, and he and Gao Shun are leading troops into the camp to kill the enemy."
"Report, Zang Ba has invaded the camp from the south and is fighting the enemy. Li Jia has led his troops to follow him."
Liu Bei listened to the reports from all parties, and sure enough, Zhang Fei disobeyed orders and advanced troops in advance without authorization.
Unexpectedly, Zang Ba from the south was the first to attack the enemy camp. It seemed that Taishan's soldiers were strong enough.
Unfortunately, Gan Ning met the enemy's general and encountered frontal resistance from the enemy, making progress relatively difficult.
"Since the remaining two sides have broken through the enemy camp, Chen Dao is ordered to lead the troops to advance quickly, and together with Gan Ning, break through the fence of the enemy camp on the east and enter the enemy camp." Liu Bei ordered.
As long as he breaks through the front of the enemy's camp, attacks from three sides, and then personally leads his troops into battle to kill the enemy, Xiahou Yuan's entire camp will be defeated.
There were five to six hundred casualties on the front, and the casualties on the other two sides would certainly be considerable. To pay such a high price, we must defeat the enemy as soon as possible. Only in this way can we minimize the casualties.
Zhou Ping also received the report in the camp and was overjoyed.
The enemy's camp is broken from the south and north, and the east side of the enemy's camp cannot be defended. It is only a matter of time before the camp is broken.
With troops from three sides advancing together, although this battle is risky, it will still be won.
…………
At this time, the sun was rising. In Xinji County, Guan Yu and Tai Shici led their troops to face Cao Cao in formation.
According to the report from the scouting horse, no troops from Xu Du came out of the city, which also meant that Cao Cao would not let Xu Du's troops come to help, and he would not be attacked from both front and rear.
After hearing the news, Guan Yu felt relieved and became confident that he would defeat Cao Cao.
Guan Yu has 15,000 men on his side and Cao Cao has 13,000 men on his side. Both sides have about the same number of troops.
"Ziyi, that short man is Cao Cao, and I will kill him today!"
Guan Yu pointed at Cao Cao, who was sitting on the horse opposite him but still looked very short.
Taishi Ci looked around and saw that Cao Cao was indeed short in stature and was looking at him with squinted eyes. However, the man behind him holding two halberds looked extremely tall and he seemed to be a fierce general.
"General Guan, I am willing to lend a helping hand to the general and behead Cao Cao." Qin Yi continued.
Qin Yi and Yuan Shu met Cao Cao when they entered Chenliu. At that time, Cao Cao led troops from Chenliu to Huainan. They were originally a little afraid of Cao Cao.
But since Liu Bei surrendered and heard about the achievements of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, he is no longer afraid of Cao Cao, and even wants to personally behead Cao Cao and achieve great achievements.
Guan Yu half-squinted his eyes and turned to look at him, but said nothing, only showing disdain on his face.
On the opposite side, Cao Cao also squinted and saw Guan Yu, who was wearing armor, a green robe, and holding a green dragon sword. He also saw Tai Shi Ci holding a halberd next to Guan Yu.
These two men were majestic and exuded a heroic spirit, which made Cao Cao feel itchy and felt that it would be great if these two men could be used by him.
"Wen Ze, Zi Ke, Gong Liu, I heard that Guan Yu is even more brave than Zhang Fei. You must not underestimate the enemy. Haha, if you can capture Guan Yu alive, double the credit!" Cao Cao said to the generals.
Shi Huan's cousin was Gong Liu, and he was a native of Pei. He had followed Cao Cao since he was fighting against Dong, and he was trusted by Cao Cao.
Guan Yu's achievements mainly included killing Danyang general Xiao Bao with one sword, and then killing Yuan Shu's general Le Zui on the battlefield, but he had no outstanding achievements after that.
However, Zhang Fei often thought that he was no match for Guan Yu in force, and Zhang Fei killed many generals and was famous, which made Cao Cao even more afraid of Guan Yu.
"Although Guan Yu is brave, he is not a weakling. Today, Guan Yu will be beheaded and dedicated to Duke Ming."
Yu Jin was a little afraid of Zhang Fei. After all, he saw Zhang Fei kill Le Jin with his own eyes, but he had no feelings for Guan Yu and believed that he would definitely be able to defeat Guan Yu.
Cao Cao nodded slightly. His generals are not afraid of enemy generals and have the ambition to kill them. This is a good thing.
"Blow the drums and advance the troops." Cao Cao ordered.
"Dong dong dong dong dong..."
The drums beat.
Yu Jin was responsible for the front line. With a wave of his broadsword, he urged his horse to move and led the troops forward.
Those in charge of the left and right formations were Lu Qian and Shi Huan.
"Enter."
Guan Yu also shouted loudly, and with the sound of drums, he led his troops to greet him.
He was in charge of the central formation, with Taishi Ci and Qin Yi in charge of the two wings.
…………
"Brothers, the time has come to show the majesty of our Taishan people, kill!"
Zang Ba had already led his troops to knock down the fence and invade the enemy camp. He threw away the wooden posts, raised his sword, and charged into the enemy. There was still an arrow stuck in his left shoulder.
The soldiers and horses he leads are all Taishan people, who followed from Langya. Unlike other generals, who only have the power to supervise troops, these soldiers of Zang Ba are his subordinates. It can be said that they only obey his orders.
Liu Bei has no authority to directly order or mobilize them.
So they fought hard, especially after seeing how brave Zang Ba was, and they all seemed more courageous and not afraid of death.
Zang Ba was responsible for leading the troops to attack the camp, so he did not ride a horse and fought on foot. Although he saw the enemy general Zhu Ling on his horse, he thought that he could not win on foot and was wounded by an arrow, so he did not attack Zhu Ling.
To kill, he just slashed the enemy soldiers with his sword.
Although Zhu Ling was not one of Cao Cao's top five generals, he was not bad in terms of force and he fought on horseback. He also showed great power in killing the enemy and quickly killed five or six Taishan soldiers.
To the north, Zhang Fei rode a horse, brandishing a snake spear with a length of eight feet, and led troops with Gao Shun into the enemy camp.
The two thousand soldiers Zhang Fei left behind had already rushed over after they knocked down the fence of the enemy camp. At this moment, they were continuously crossing the ditch, stepping on the fence, rushing into the enemy camp, and killing the enemy soldiers.
Xu Huang did not expect that he could not stop the enemy soldiers from attacking the camp, but even if the enemy soldiers invaded the camp, he would still have a chance to defeat them.
He was wearing armor, carrying a sword, and was riding on a high horse. When he saw Zhang Fei, who was roaring and brandishing a snake spear, he immediately slapped his horse and ran towards him, hoping to kill Zhang Fei first and then wipe out all the enemies.
Zhang Fei also saw Xu Huang and knew that he wanted to fight with him. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. He howled and assassinated enemy soldiers all the way to greet Xu Huang.
Gao Shun did not ride a horse and fought on foot with a sword in hand. When the soldiers following him saw his bravery, they were all impressed and tried their best to kill the enemy.
To the east, Gan Ning had not yet breached the fence, but more and more of his troops fell to the ground, reaching nearly a thousand.
There are too many enemies in front of the enemy camp and the defense is too tight, so it is really difficult to break through.
However, Gan Ning is not one to admit defeat. One of the two feathers on his back has been broken by an arrow, and now he is left alone and independent.
But it's good to be alone, at least let the soldiers see that he is still attacking the camp at the front.
"Quickly, knock down the fence, and we can rush into the enemy camp."
Gan Ning shouted loudly, but there were too many guards in the enemy camp. As soon as he got close, countless spears and halberds were stretched out to kill them.
Moreover, his own people suffered too many casualties and were unable to break through the enemy camp for a while.
"Sima, the rear army is coming up."
Someone nearby saw Chen Dao leading the troops and shouted hurriedly.
Gan Ning looked back and saw Chen Dao rushing towards him with his troops. It was obvious that Chen Dao could not march without permission and must have received the order from his lord.
When Liu Bei asked Chen to rush forward at this time, he must have thought that he could not break the enemy camp and asked him to help him.
Thinking of this, Gan Ning was so ashamed and angry that he yelled: "You can't lose your life, but you can't lose your courage! Brothers, charge together!"
He took a few steps back, crouched down slightly, and suddenly rushed forward with great strength, rushing towards the fence of the enemy camp.
When the soldiers saw what Gan Ning was doing, they imitated him. Hundreds of them rushed towards the fence without avoiding the spears and halberds of the enemy soldiers.
Many people were stabbed by spears and halberds in the enemy camp. Their blood flowed and they fell to the ground. They screamed in pain.
However, when they rushed like this, the fence of the enemy camp was also knocked down, and many enemy soldiers were trapped underneath.
"kill!"
Gan Ning was also hooked on the arm by an enemy soldier's halberd, and his entire left arm was stained red with blood, but he ignored it, endured the pain, stepped on the fence, jumped into the enemy camp, and slashed with his sword.
Chen Dao happened to rush in with his troops and followed them into the enemy camp.
Xia Houyuan was shocked when he saw this. He had heard that the south and north sides had been breached and had already sent many soldiers to help. Now that the front has been breached, it is impossible for soldiers from the other two sides to come to the rescue. Xu Huang and Zhu Ling may both have too much to take care of themselves now.
Okay, how can I care about this?
He quickly led his troops to attack Cao Cao. He had to hold on no matter what and never let them pass through the camp to attack Cao Cao with Guan Yu.
Liang Lu was the third echelon on the front. After hearing that the soldiers and horses in front had broken through the enemy camp, he immediately led his troops and rushed towards the enemy camp.
"Report, Gan Ning has pushed down the enemy camp's fence and invaded the enemy camp. Chen Dao has also led his troops to follow them into the enemy camp, and Liang Lu has also advanced."
The soldiers came to report urgently.
Liu Bei's gloomy face finally showed a smile, and his face broke, indicating that the battle was won.
"Hahaha...Gan Xingba is a true warrior! You follow Gu Gu into the enemy camp, let's go."
Liu Bei clapped his horse forward, with Xu Chu and Zhang Wu following closely behind him, leading three thousand soldiers towards the enemy camp.
Zhou Ping had previously heard that Gan Ning could not break into the enemy camp, and he was still a little worried. He was worried that the attack on the camp would be unfavorable. Now when he heard the soldiers reporting that Gan Ning had also broken into the enemy camp, he couldn't help being overjoyed, laughing, and hurriedly explained.
I took several sips from the wine gourd on my waist.
Originally he didn't drink during the war, but now he was only responsible for guarding the camp, and he was so happy that he had to drink.
However, he would not get drunk, he would just drink a few sips, so that people would always pay attention to the fighting in the enemy camp and report any situation at any time.
Zhu Ling really didn't expect that Liu Bei's soldiers and horses would be so brave. No matter how he killed them, they would not be afraid. Instead, they became more brave as they fought, causing him to suffer several wounds on his body.
However, his own soldiers were killed so hard that they could not resist. Many people were killed. The rest of the soldiers fled one after another, and some even knelt down and begged to surrender.
Zhu Ling knew that the situation was over and if he continued to fight, he would either die or be captured. However, it would be too disloyal to run away like this.
He remembered that when he was in Jizhou, when he was still Yuan Shao's general, Ji Yong betrayed in Yi County and surrendered Gongsun Zan, and Yuan Shao sent him to lead troops to attack Yi County.
Ji Yong arrested Zhu Ling's mother and brother's family and persuaded him to surrender, but Zhu Ling looked into the city and cried, "How can my husband care about the family once he is born into a family?"
He fought hard to attack the city and finally captured Yi County and captured Ji Yong alive, but his family members were all killed.
Now that he is alone, he is even less likely to be greedy for life and afraid of death, and to be a disloyal and unjust person.
He slashed with his sword and cut down several more enemy soldiers, but he was also hit by a knife. The pain was unbearable and he couldn't help but cry out.
At this time, the horse he was riding was also stabbed in the leg by an enemy soldier. He suddenly fell to his knees. He fell off the horse and immediately stood up. However, before he could stand still, he was stabbed again on the back.
, and at the same time, the two spears from the front came forward and stabbed into his stomach.
Zhu Ling vomited blood, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground. He murmured: "Mr. Cao, Ling has done his best!"
After speaking, he fell to the ground and died.
Those Taishan soldiers knew that this was an enemy general, so someone immediately cut off his head with a sword and took it to Zang Ba.
"Commander Zang, the enemy general is dead and his head is here."
"Okay, I will ask my lord for credit. Quickly, kill all the enemy soldiers."
Zang Ba was overjoyed. As soon as the enemy general died, the enemy soldiers would lose their fighting spirit and fighting strength. Now was a good time to kill the enemy soldiers and win the victory. He led his soldiers to pursue the enemy soldiers with swords.
Xu Huang and Zhang Fei have already fought together.
The two have fought for more than thirty rounds.
Of course Xu Huang knew about Zhang Fei's martial arts. There were probably only a few people in the world who could kill Le Jin.
But Xu Huang knew that his force was not weak, so he might not be able to defeat Zhang Fei.
Now the two are fighting inextricably, and they can't tell the winner for a while.
It's just that Liu Bei's soldiers seem to be much stronger than his own, especially when many of them are heard shouting: "The ambition to stay in the battle will lead to death or life!"
The momentum was intimidating, and because the camp was breached by enemy soldiers, the defenders gradually retreated and seemed to be unable to withstand it.
"Hey, hey, hey... you have good martial arts, what's your name? I don't want to kill an unknown person."
Zhang Fei asked while fighting.
"This is Xu Huang. Let me tell you so that you can know who died at the hands of today." Xu Huang replied.
"Hahaha... I thought that only Dian Wei in Cao Cao's army could fight. I didn't expect that you are not bad either. It's a pity that you will die today. It's better to surrender my eldest brother and avoid death."
"Hmph, if Huang is appreciated by Duke Cao, he is a betrayer of his master and the enemy. Don't say any more, he will die soon!"
"Hahaha... Well, anyone who is not a traitor and wants to survive deserves to die in my hands!"
"Don't be shy with your talk, just watch the knife."
Xu Huang and Zhang Fei fought for another twenty rounds.
At this time, Gao Shun led his troops to kill the enemy soldiers, which kept retreating. The ground was littered with corpses, most of which were Cao Cao's soldiers.
Xu Huang only focused on fighting Zhang Fei, and suddenly found that he was surrounded by enemy soldiers, and all his own soldiers who were not dead had already retreated dozens of steps away.
Moreover, after fighting Zhang Fei for so long, he knew that he could not kill Zhang Fei for the time being, and if the fight continued, he might be the one who was killed.
Now that the camp has collapsed, we must leave.
He slashed at Zhang Fei with his sword, and while Zhang Fei was dodging, he suddenly slashed away with another false sword.
Zhang Fei quickly raised his spear to block, but Xu Huang did not actually make a slash. Instead, he slapped his horse and ran to the other side, slashing with his sword along the way, killing more than a dozen soldiers in the blink of an eye.
"Don't leave, I haven't fought enough yet!"
Zhang Fei noticed that Xu Huang took the opportunity to escape and quickly chased after him.
However, Xu Huang could cut and run all the way, but Zhang Fei could not. These were his own soldiers. In order to avoid Xu Huang, some of them moved behind and blocked Zhang Fei's horse, which made Zhang Fei curse loudly.
However, Zhang Fei could do nothing but curse and could only move forward slowly, watching helplessly as Xu Huang killed the soldiers along the way, rushed out of the camp, and fled.
Xiahou Yuan temporarily withstood Gan Ning and Chen Dao's offensive, but as Liang Lu's troops joined the battle, Liu Bei personally led the troops.
When the soldiers saw Liu Bei advancing in person, their fighting spirit became even higher. In addition, Gan Ning and Chen Dao were killing fiercely in front, so Xiahou Yuan's soldiers could only retreat step by step.
"General, Zhu Ling died in battle."
"General, Xu Huang was defeated and fled."
As the soldiers came to report one after another, Xia Houyuan suddenly felt his hands and feet were cold, and all his thoughts were lost.
Duke Cao asked himself to defend the camp and gave him so many soldiers and horses, but now, the camp cannot be defended.
"General, I can't hold it anymore, retreat quickly!"
There was a military lord nearby who was pulling Xia Houyuan, trying to drag him away.
Xia Houyuan suddenly woke up and saw more and more enemy soldiers coming, while more and more of his own soldiers fell.
"Quickly, withdraw."
Xia Houyuan shouted quickly, slapped his horse and fled behind, followed by the remaining soldiers.
