For a while, Yu Chikuan was a little at a loss. He was a local civil servant and had not participated in any major battles after joining the army. This time he insisted on rescuing Yuchi Shun more because of blood, family ties and bravery. Now it is naturally chaotic.
Square inch.
"Brother, hurry up, it must be the enemy's reinforcements. Let me tell you why Pei Zilie is chasing after him!" Yu Chishun grabbed Yu Chikuan's arm. At this time, he didn't care where Pei Zilie's reinforcements came from.
, the enemies are outflanking us from both sides. If I don't leave, this place will become a dead place.
Yuchi Kuan responded, and several surviving guards had already ran over.
The surrounding area was completely in chaos. Yuchikuan led five thousand soldiers out of the city to rescue them. These five thousand people spread out along the city gate and tried to reach the west to meet Yuchishun. Therefore, the positions of Yuchishun and Yuchikuan at this time were the deepest part of the enemy's formation.
.
Obviously the Northern Zhou army also realized that something was not going well, and quickly spread out from both wings, trying to support Yuchikuan, but the enemy did not come head-on, but came from one side of the Northern Zhou army, and this army did not seem to be
It looked like he had gone through a hard battle, and he was full of momentum all the way, and he was completely stunned by the Northern Zhou army!
"Not good!" Standing on the city gate, Cao Xiaoda immediately noticed the changes in the night, and soon he realized who was coming, and his heart skipped a beat.
At this time, Pei Zilie reined in his horse, took a breath, and couldn't help but murmured with a smile: "Old General Ren, I'm afraid he's been exhausted these days. It's enough for you to drink a pot."
This army that broke in from the sloping ground was not part of the Bashu army system. To be honest, from Longzhong to Tanxi and then to the foot of Xiangyang City, Pei Zilie's men were actually exhausted, especially after advancing as a forward all the way.
It can be said that Chen Zhishen's ability to support himself until now is entirely due to his own perseverance.
The division's veterans were tired, and there was actually no need for Pei Zilie to continue the pursuit. Almost all of Yuchishun's more than 3,000 elite soldiers and horses had been assigned to the wilderness, and Pei Zilie's appetite was not outrageously large.
The reason why he pursued him all the way was actually to lure the Northern Zhou reinforcements out of the city. This gave another army, Nanchen Renzhong's troops, an opportunity to take advantage of. Renzhong broke through Tanxi all the way, which can be said to be
The situation was overwhelming. After all, there were only more than a thousand Northern Zhou soldiers and horses upstream, and because of the retreat downstream, people were already panicking, and they were quickly defeated by Ren Zhong.
After that, Ren Zhong led his troops and horses to rush towards Xiangyang City. Pei Zilie happened to drive the remaining defeated generals of Yuchishun to approach Xiangyang City. Therefore, when he saw the enemy's army appearing in disorder, Ren Zhong was overjoyed and led him directly.
The soldiers and horses rushed in.
Ren Zhong's troops have been blocked on the bank of Tanxi River for some time. Seeing the friendly forces constantly breaking through the enemy's defense lines, but he has no way to cross Tanxi River, it is impossible not to feel aggrieved. This is Xiangyang City.
A piece of fat meat that made everyone drool. Even if Ren Zhong knew that he had no chance to eat meat, he still wanted to drink soup. If he arrived late, he might not even have the chance to drink soup.
Now it can almost be said that God has helped, placing a flank of the Northern Zhou army in front of him. How can Ren Zhong not take action?
The ax in Chen Zhishen's hand clinked on the ground. Looking at Ren Zhong and Yu Chikuan's troops who were completely involved in the melee, he couldn't help but smile. At this time, the sound of Ming Jin retreating his troops could be heard behind him, and Chen Zhishen also knew this.
The benefits from the first war have been almost harvested, and it is time to leave, otherwise I am afraid that I will inevitably suffer the consequences.
————————————————
Ren Zhong was a little depressed. He felt that the enemy was just a dish in front of him.
In fact, it's not surprising that he had such an idea. Yu Chikuan never expected that an enemy force would come out from the slope at this time, so his defense was basically aimed at Pei Zilie. Now Pei Zilie slapped his ass and left, and
Ren Zhong's front had threatened Yuchikuan's flanks, and could interpose between this army and Xiangyang City at any time, and finally completely surrounded Yuchikuan's troops under the watchful eyes of the Xiangyang defenders.
After all, Ren Zhong had nearly 10,000 troops under his command, so it was easy to deal with Yuchi Kuan's troops who were caught off guard.
However, with this victory right in front of him, Ren Zhong felt a little depressed because he felt like he had been tricked by Pei Zilie. This kid himself devoured Yu Chishun's three thousand soldiers and horses, and then refused to give up and drove
Swallowing the tiger, he drove himself down to the point where he and Yu Chikuan had to fight to the death.
But having said that, although Yu Chikuan's five thousand soldiers and horses are quite a lot, under such circumstances, Ren Zhong is still confident that he can make him suffer a big loss. Thinking that he has been trapped in Tanxi for so long, Ren Zhong can be regarded as
Found a place to vent.
Pei Zilie had already led his troops to retreat at this time. Chen Zhishen and Zheng Kaiyuan, who had barely survived several battles, were in the front. Pei Zilie personally led the central army to cut off the rear, leaving no opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of.
What's more, Yuchikuan's command had already been disrupted, so no one was in the mood to pursue him. Ren Zhong subconsciously glanced at the direction in which Pei Zilie was retreating, and he even thought he saw Pei Zilie waving goodbye.
Smiling silently, Ren Zhong turned his head: "The left and right wings, outflank!"
Following Ren Zhong's order, the army that was constantly advancing forward spread out in the wind like a blooming flower of death. The soldiers and horses on the left and right wings swept past, and the scattered Northern Zhou soldiers on the periphery were directly swept away. Ren Zhong then mobilized the horses.
, led the guards and rushed towards the enemy's main formation of the Chinese army!
At this time, Yuchikuan and Yuchishun were able to gather some of their troops. They were blocked by the forwards of Ren Zhong's command. The five thousand soldiers under Yuchikuan's command had already been disorganized. At this time, Yuchikuan and Yuchishun were able to gather all their troops.
The strength of the troops that had been raised had already been reduced to the point where the generals did not know the soldiers and the generals did not know the soldiers. But at least they were able to form a formation reluctantly.
Xiangyang City is behind you, and the enemy is also in front of you, so everyone knows that the city gates of Xiangyang cannot be opened at this time. If you want to resist Ren Zhong, you can only rely on these troops. Yuchi Kuan subconsciously looked at Yuchi
Shun, after all, he is not from the military, he is a bit of a monk, so naturally he cannot understand the situation in front of him at this time.
And Yu Chishun murmured: "The odds of winning are slim. I even suspect that Pei Zilie deliberately lured Ren Zhong to chase him. Now that our division's veterans are tired, it's a good opportunity for Ren Zhong to take action. This favor that goes hand in hand,
Pei Zilie did it happily."
Yu Chikuan's heart thumped and he gritted his teeth.
There was no one in the Yuchi family who was greedy for life, but when he thought about the pressure that the loss of these five thousand soldiers and horses might bring to the defense of Xiangyang City, Yuchikuan felt a little helpless.
Was it right for me to obey Cao Xiaoda and leave Yuchishun alone? If so, would Pei Zilie not pursue him and Ren Zhong not bite him?
