Chapter 486: Throwing Yourself into the Net
"What sound?"
Liu Biao was suspicious, raised his eyes to look for sound, and suddenly his face changed greatly, only to see countless arrows shooting out of the darkness, overwhelmingly pounced. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Be careful, King!" Before Liu Biao could react, Huang Zhong beside him shouted, and the big sword in his hand blocked in front of him, blocking the attacking arrow dance.
Liu Biao was protected by Huang Zhong and was lucky to escape, but those Chu soldiers around him were not as lucky as him.
At this moment, these Chu soldiers were excited, running all the way with a heart of revenge, completely unexpectedly, there would be a cold arrow in front of the darkness.
In an instant, the rain of arrows fell wildly, and hundreds of Chu soldiers, who had no defense at all, were shot to the ground by this sudden arrow, and the screams suddenly rose.
Within a range of more than 100 zhang, everything was covered by arrow nets, and locust-like arrows broke out of the darkness, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of Chu soldiers, and only one round of arrows was shot down, and there were four hundred Chu soldiers who were shot down in a pool of blood.
At this time, they finally came to their senses, and when they shouted in panic, they raised their shields and danced their knives, and hurriedly resisted.
It's just that the night is dark, the vision ahead is not clear, and they can't tell where the arrows are coming from.
Huang Zhong waved his knife to protect Liu Biao, and shouted in a deep voice: "King, something is wrong, we may have been ambushed by the pottery thief!" ”
Liu Biao's arrogance of revenge had long since collapsed at this moment, his old face was as gloomy as iron, and his eyes flashed with a complex look of anger and horror.
The cold arrow attack meant that the potter had expected him to land here, and had already arranged an ambush in advance.
This also means that Gan Ning's deception plan, Pang Tong's serial plan, and the fire attack plan carefully arranged by him and Sun Ce have all been seen through by the potters.
"How is it possible, how can such an exquisite layout be seen by the pottery thief?" In Liu Biao's mind, a big question mark rose, and he couldn't figure it out, but he only gritted his teeth and cursed his old enemy.
On the head and face, the arrows were like flying locusts, and around them, countless soldiers were shot to the ground one after another.
The entire Chu army has fallen into a state of collapse.
On the other side of the night, the potter was sneering sarcastically, admiring the picture of the Chu army being abused under the cold light.
"The king is really like a god, he actually expected that Liu Biao would lead an army to secretly land upstream, intending to intercept our army in Huarong Dao ......" beside him, the overlord Xiang Yu couldn't help but admire.
The potter only smiled faintly.
In the eyes of the pottery merchants, they did have some sincere admiration for Sun Ce and Liu Biao, as well as Pang Tong and Zhou Yu, and the elaborate layout of the Wu and Chu coalition forces.
Such a subtle layout, if it weren't for his own historical foresight, even if he had a Wang Zuo-level strategist like Zhang Liang by his side, he would definitely not be able to see through it.
In the battle of Chibi in history, with the wisdom of Cao Cao, the strategists around him were not deceived.
It's a pity, Sun Ce and they never dreamed that the potter was a traverser from the future, and they "repeated the old tricks" and just hit the muzzle of the potter's gun.
According to history, when Chibi was burned, Liu Bei also led the army to deploy defenses on the front line of Huarong to block Cao Cao's defeated army.
Therefore, the pottery merchant guessed that Liu Biao would definitely follow Liu Bei's example and also use troops in Huarong Dao, so after the pottery merchant burned the Wu State Water Army, he did not immediately attack the enemy camp in Chibi, but personally led tens of thousands of horsemen and galloped all the way to this place to give Liu Biao a head-on blow.
As it turned out, he was right again.
The screams were incessant, and the terrible but helpless howls sounded to the potters and his soldiers like the most graceful music, echoing in the dark night.
In front of the night, the Chu army was already in chaos, Huang Zhongdao had danced until he was out of breath, and he barely protected Liu Biao from being shot, and the Chu soldiers on the left and right had been shot into a river of blood.
Liu Biao was determined to win this battle, so he ordered the whole army to travel lightly, and did not carry many defensive weapons such as shields, he thought that his Chu army would rush to Huarong with a lot of energy, intercepting and killing the Wei army that collapsed and fled, but he did not expect that he would be ambushed by the potters.
Now, these Chu soldiers who lacked shields could not stop the dense enemy arrows like locusts with their weapons alone, and the scythe of the god of death was flying quickly among the panicked Wu army.
The dense arrows ruthlessly took the lives of the Chu army, and every miserable howl cut Liu Biao's heart like a knife, making his heart bleed.
"King, the enemy's arrow rain is too dense, and it is useless to fight again, so quickly retreat to the river." Huang Zhong shouted anxiously.
Of course, Liu Biao knew that his plan had been broken, the potters had already taken precautions, and the casualties were so serious, in this case there was no choice but to retreat.
But Liu Biao's humiliated dignity made him angry, and he was really unwilling to flee in disgrace.
Fleeing today means that his hope of recovering the state of Chu will also be shattered.
"I'm unwilling, I'm unwilling, I'm really unwilling—"
When Liu Biaozheng hesitated, an arrow broke through the air, penetrated Huang Zhong's defenses, and hit Liu Biao's shoulder.
The severe pain shattered all Liu Biao's anger in an instant, and his hideous face was distorted to an inhuman shape, and under the severe pain, he screamed miserably, and staggered to the side.
Huang Zhong was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Liu Biao, but saw that Liu Biao's face was pale, and the wound on his chest was bleeding nonstop, but the pain was as pale as paper.
Huang Zhong saw that Liu Biao was wounded, and he couldn't care much, so he hurriedly drank the order to help the injured Liu Biao, turned his horse back, and shouted to order the troops to retreat.
A group of Chu troops rushed to the south of the river beach if they were amnesty, and less than 10,000 people were fighting for me, scrambling to flee.
"King, the enemy army has been routed, and it is time to move out and sweep them away." Xiang Yu shouted with fierce excitement.
The potter nodded slightly, and ordered the crossbowmen to stop firing the arrows, and the buzz that tore through the air finally fell silent.
Then he gave the order to light torches and light up the battlefield.
Thousands of torches suddenly rose, and the scorching light of the stars converged into a scorching flame like day, illuminating the radius of several miles clearly.
Under the light of the fire, the first thing I saw was the corpses scattered more than a hundred steps away, and the eyes extended to the south, there were countless Chu pawns, who were scrambling to flee in the direction of the Yangtze River.
The pottery merchant eagle was furious with murderous intent in his eyes, laughed wildly, and shouted with a knife: "Xiang Yu, Wei Yan, Hou Yi, this king ordered you to attack in three ways, and kill the enemy army for this king, leaving no one behind!" ”
The three generals were already enthusiastic, and as soon as they got the order, they rushed away.
The sound of war drums rose to the sky, shattering the silence of the night, and the dazzling torches tore through the darkness of the night, and nearly 20,000 Wei foot riders surged out in three ways, rushing towards the fleeing enemy soldiers.
Xiang Yu took the lead, the first to chase, crashed into the enemy's bush, the golden overlord spear swung out in all directions, mercilessly stabbing those frightened enemy soldiers to the ground.
Liu Biao, who was wounded by an arrow, had already lost the ability to command, and more than 10,000 Chu troops had no time to organize an effective resistance, so they could only flee desperately, but they were wantonly killed by the three-way Chu army.
The sound of horses' hooves, screams, and war drums rose into the sky and shattered the sky.
Under the light of the fire, the long blood path stretched from north to south, and the flowing blood actually soaked the ground into a long blood swamp fire.
Huang Zhong was afraid that he would not have time to escape to the river, so he was killed by the Wei army, so he had to stop and ordered the soldiers to stop retreating, wanting to form a formation to block the pursuit of the Chu army.
At this moment, in the front direction, the potter had already led three thousand heavily armored iron horsemen, rolling wildly.
Two thousand heavily armored iron horses, under the light of the fire, were like a huge iron spear that changed the color of the heavens and the earth, carrying the momentum of the collapse of the sky and the earth, and crashed into the unformed formation of the Chu army.
The shield shattered, the flesh and blood flew sideways, the screams were like the wailing of a group of ghosts, and in the chaotic noise, the iron-armored heavy cavalry easily tore through the remnants of the Chu army, and the war knives in the hands of the potters swept away in all directions, cutting the heads of countless enemy soldiers into the sky.
Under the blood light, the potter was almost like a god descending to earth, no one could stop him, and he went straight to Liu Biao to kill.
"Pottery thief, if you want to kill my master, pass the old man's level first!" Huang Zhong roared, and the longitudinal knife came to stop him.
At this time, Xiang Yu was killed from the oblique stab, intercepted Huang Zhong, and shouted: "Old horseman, Xiang Yu is here, leave your life." ”
The two horsemen rushed forward and fought in a group.
The potter let Huang Zhong go and led his army all the way to chase Liu Biao.
To the south, Liu Biao and his defeated army were still fleeing wildly, and behind them were already rivers of blood.
With Huang Zhong's blocking, after paying the sacrifice of nearly half of the soldiers, Liu Biao finally broke out of the chaos, the terrain in front of him gradually opened up, and the number of ambushes rushing out of the two wings was also decreasing.
The sound of the surging river has been faintly heard, and the shore is not far away.
Liu Biao's tense nerves finally relaxed a lot, and looking back at the pursuers who were left behind, the corners of Liu Biao's mouth couldn't help but flash a hint of happiness.
The soldiers on the left and right were terrified, and countless wounded were demoralized, still immersed in panic.
Although he was defeated to such an extent, Huang Zhong's resistance finally delayed the pursuit of the potter, allowing him to escape to the riverside alive.
Liu Biao thought that as long as he fled to the river, got Huang Zu's response, and escaped into the battleship into the river, he could escape and ascend to heaven.
As long as his life can be saved, there is still hope for a comeback.
"Pottery thief, I, Liu Biao, don't die so easily, don't ...... so easily" Just when Liu Biao secretly rejoiced and gritted his teeth, in front of him, the Yangtze River had come into view.
In an instant, Liu Biao's stunned color changed, and his old face, like a ghost, was attacked by horror.
On the left and right, the remaining generals of the Chu army all changed color in shock, and they were stunned.
Liu Biao woke up in fear, only to know that Huang Zu had learned that there was an ambush in front of him, and he was so frightened that he couldn't wait for Liu Biao to withdraw, so he led the army to drive away all the ships and fled on the Yangtze River alone.
Huang Zu, the veteran general he trusted the most, ruthlessly abandoned him at the moment of life and death.
"Huang Zu dog thief, this king trusts you so much, you dare to abandon this king, you ungrateful beast-" Liu Biao, who was extremely sad and angry, shouted and scolded.
Behind him, thousands of Wei troops had already killed from all directions, pounced like tigers and wolves.
