Let's talk about Chen Shi and Gao Xiang's side. All the more than 3,000 men under him have arrived. They are all veterans of many battles in the north and south. They are dressed in iron armor, raised their bows and lost their swords, and gathered in Wangchun Gate. The agreement has been reached
At the ugly hour, with an order, the Wangchun Gate slowly opened, and in the city, Gao Xiang's troops suddenly rushed out of the city and went straight to the Han military camp.
The Shu people's advance came out, and the guards on duty at the Han military camp noticed it. They were panicked and hurriedly sounded the gong to warn them. They ran to the fence and fired arrows. Relying on their thick armor, the Shu people blocked with their swords and fired fiercely.
Rush over. Like a sudden flash flood in the middle of the night, it overflows the first fence in an instant and engulfs the Han army archers in the rolling torrent.
With the experience of cutting the camp for the first time, the Shu people prepared pine trees and other things early this time, lit them and threw them into the camp. Suddenly the horses neighed and people screamed, and the Han camp was in chaos. The Shu people gradually went deeper into the camp.
, and the Han soldiers rushed to the battle and could not form a complete battle formation. Although they all held weapons and fought bravely against the enemy, they had no choice but to fight sporadically. Under the fierce attack of the Shu people, they were like throwing eggs against rocks, and the former was in vain.
In the Shu army's formation, Chen Shi's troops were in the front, Gao Xiang and Fan You's troops were on the sides and behind, and Chen Shi led dozens of soldiers who dared to die to rush to the front. He was carrying a bloody broadsword, which was wrapped with four
Human hair, the ground under his feet was littered with discarded weapons of Han soldiers and corpses lying on pillows. He jumped over from the pile of corpses and landed right in front of Sima Wang Ling of the Han army.
This Wang Ling is also an unusual figure. He comes from a wealthy family in Wudu. He served as a knight under Ma Chao during the Battle of Pingcheng. When the Eastern Army saw that the commander's flag fell and the entire army collapsed, Ma Chao led Wang Ling and other soldiers to count the number of soldiers.
Qian Yu's counterattack from behind caused great chaos to the Eastern Army's formation, and he was later promoted to Army Sima by the Northern Army.
At this moment, Wang Ling lost his bow and his sword was still in its scabbard. He and Chen Shi met unexpectedly. Seeing the Shu man rushing towards him like a wild beast, he had no weapon in his hand to resist immediately. He knew that he would die if he took action, so he had an idea.
As soon as he made a move, he tried to deceive him first and wait for the opportunity before taking action. He faced him without hiding and shouted in a half-baked Shu accent: "Don't kill me, I am willing to surrender!"
Helpless, Chen Shi couldn't hear his murmurings clearly amid the noise of the crowd. He stabbed his head and covered his face with a knife, cutting Wang Ling's shoulder into two pieces. Hot blood spurted out like a pillar, splashing onto the murderer's face, and his eyes were bloodshot.
, I couldn’t see the direction clearly for a while.
Gao Xiang was also known as a mighty general in the Shu army. He actually believed in the Five Dou Rice Way. He hung a talisman around his neck and a consecrated jade around his waist, which he wrapped in a brocade bag. Although he was devoted to the path of sincerity and indifference, he killed people.
He showed no mercy. He cut everyone he met on the swaying battlefield and broke two knives in a row. Then he took off the four-foot long ring-headed sword from the north, held it with both hands, and pointed it at the oncoming enemy Dou Tou.
Just then. When the sword was swung, no one could get close, and the trusted soldiers nearby had to move away to avoid accidental injury.
In fact, all the soldiers around him were running away, and there was no decent resistance in front of Gao Xiang. He rested his sword on the ground to observe the situation of the camp. He realized that Chen Shi was too deep in the formation and the connection with the back was broken.
He ordered people to go to the front to find Chen Shi and ask him to go back further.
Gao Xiang looked back in the direction of Chunmen, but no reinforcements were seen. Should he retreat? Or should he continue to search and kill to expand the results? Gao Xiang hesitated for a moment, and most of the Shu army soldiers stopped killing and stood still, waiting for the general's order.
In the middle of the night in early autumn, the armored soldiers were soaked through from a fierce battle. At this moment, they suddenly stopped, and the sweat quickly cooled down. The wet clothes clung to the skin coldly, making people finally realize that it was autumn, and they couldn't help but
Let’s start a cold war.
However, the ground beneath their feet shook slightly, making people suddenly suspicious. Veterans with a keen sense of smell began to gather together and looked warily into the dark night. Sure enough, the sound of horse hooves on the ground became more intense. The suspicious people shouted towards the sound of horse hooves.
As they watched, they saw a cavalry team suddenly jumping out of the night and jumping to the edge of the burning camp. There were about ten or twenty riders in the cavalry team, and most of the people on the horseback were lightly dressed, looking at the battle formation in the distance.
Seeing that there were only a dozen or two people on horseback, most of the Shu army officers and soldiers were relieved. Many of them let out a sigh of relief and simply squatted on the ground wearing armor to catch their breath.
Gao Xiang saw that the Han soldiers on horseback had no intention of engaging in battle. They just galloped back and forth. Then a horseman whistled sharply. Like a bird hearing the whistle of a dynasty, the knights who had been riding suddenly turned around.
The horse's head and a puff of smoke ran into the dark night in the distance.
Seeing the Han army leaving on horseback, Gao Xiang woke up from a dream and hurriedly stood up and shouted: "Retreat! Retreat! Come back!" People didn't know what was happening, and hurriedly gathered behind them, dragging their swords and swords.<
/p>
Almost at the same time, a thunderous sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded, and the ground trembled with dull terror. Suddenly, from the darkness beside the moat east of Wangchun Gate, countless iron cavalry rushed out and charged straight at the Shu army from the side.
This is exactly what Ma Chao was leaving in preparation!
The first to arrive was the Ma Iron Division. Like a whirlwind, it cut into the Shu army's formation from the side along the river. Wherever it went, there was a scream and the sound of iron weapons clashing. Then, Ma Xiu
He led his cavalry to charge diagonally into the Shu army's formation from the southwest, separating Chen Shi's army from Gao Xiang's army behind them.
The Fufeng cavalry entered the formation in a column. Before the cavalry behind them could engage in the battle, the leading cavalry had already rushed out of the enemy formation, leaving a bloodied cut behind them. Then, they circled into the formation again, breaking up the Shu people's formation again and again. In this way
After more than ten times, the Fufeng cavalry had dispersed into countless small teams of more than ten cavalry, and they repeatedly charged and killed the Shu people. In fact, the Shu people had no formation to speak of, and any attempt to form a formation was repeated by the enemy cavalry.
The impact and ravage interrupted. The Shu army had scattered into one piece, like a group of rabble clad in iron armor, fighting independently in the chaos of flying horseshoes all around, and kept falling on the wet muddy ground of the autumn night.

Unable to withstand the repeated strangulation of the cavalry, the Shu army soldiers gave out cries like the landslide and the earth was shattering, and ran desperately towards the city gate not far away. During the battle between infantry and cavalry, once the infantry lost the will to resist and turned around to escape, it was the cavalry who
What they most want to see is that they can chase and kill them from behind and from the sides like driving livestock. This is something that Ma Chao and his men are familiar with and comfortable to do.
Gao Xiang was well aware of the horror of being driven to death like livestock. In order to save more people from entering the city, he immediately led dozens of close followers on his left and right, fighting and retreating behind, trying his best to prevent Ma Chao's men from approaching the city gate. He took off his robes
, holding a four-foot broadsword, faced the enemy horsemen, shouted forward without hesitation, a cold light flashed, and the approaching war horses were immediately chopped to the ground. When the people on the left and right saw it, their courage doubled, and they swung their swords like a blockade.
As they advanced, the Fufeng knight who could not evade him was knocked over. The Han knight had to retreat slightly and fired arrows from a distance. In the open space after retreating, more than ten bodies of men and horses were left behind. The horses were either stabbed in the face or cut off.
The horse's legs were broken. There were also horses that had lost their owners and were running disorderly in front of the formation.
The Han army fired arrows at random, but the Shu army was able to hold on due to its thick armor. When they counterattacked, hundreds of defeated troops rushed to the city gate.
Seeing that people on the left and right were killed or injured by arrows, Gao Xiang hurriedly put on his iron bag again, turned around and ran towards the door. When he reached the door, he was so excited to kill that he couldn't help but became furious. It turned out that the people in the city not only did not respond with arrows, but
Regardless of the fact that there were hundreds of people outside the city who had not entered, he hurriedly closed the city gate immediately. He saw the firelight swaying on the city, and someone was untying the iron rope and closing the door with hinges. Gao Xiang shouted angrily, drew an arrow and shot at the city.
, in the middle of the gatekeeper. The soldiers under the city followed suit, shooting a burst of arrows at the city gate, killing Shu people one after another. The gatekeeper on the city fled in panic, and then squeezed the gate open again to let people in.
In fact, Ma Chao's troops were content to kill people outside the city and had no intention of venturing into the city. Gao Xiang stuck his knife on the ground and raised his bow to meet him at the door. The defeated soldiers took the opportunity to enter the city one after another. But he did not see Chen Shi and finally came back.
Some people said that they saw Chen Shi being caught with his body covered with arrows. In the dark night in the distance, the Fufeng cavalry was cleaning up. There were still scattered defeated soldiers returning with their swords. It seemed that the killing had ended.
End. Fortunately, the Shu army was fighting near the city and still had support. If they encountered Han cavalry in the wilderness, there would be no hope of survival.

He wrapped the wound with a cloth and slumped on the ground to catch his breath. This time when he left the city to cut the camp, he was unexpectedly ambushed by the cavalry. After the surprise attack, most of the elite soldiers who had fought in hundreds of battles had lost most of them. Only about 600 people returned to the city, most of them.
They are all injured.
Gao Xiang sat on the ground and thought about it, thinking about other ways to retreat from the enemy. Now he led the elite out of the city to attack at night, but the losses were so bad. If he continued to hold on, he might not be able to hold on for long. Unfortunately, if the wall could be fortified and the country cleared before now, the people around him would be
If they all move into the city, at least there will be no shortage of people to mobilize! Liu Zhang is really a woman of kindness, and missed the great cause of the King of Shu!
He thought for a while, and in the end he only had a cold complaint. After a long time, he stood up. Gao Xiang told himself helplessly that he had no choice but to fight hard. This was the norm in the battlefield, and the worst he could do was to die! So
Thinking about it, he felt much better, so he staggered towards Liu Zhang's house. Even if he was defeated, he still had to return to his superiors.
