Chapter 22 Leading by example

When Liu Zheng left, he vaguely heard the sound of war horses rushing from the west, although Liu Zheng was not sure if it was a member of the official army.

But Liu Zheng could guess that these eight or nine were not far from ten, that is, He Yi's guy took the officials and soldiers and went straight to the north gate.

He didn't have time to think about anything, so he quickened his pace and came to the east of the city.

Cheng.

It was the only place where Liu Zheng felt that he could escape from this big battle.

Since He Yi chose to betray the Yellow Turban Army, then he will definitely pay attention to Bocai, and the main force of the official army will definitely be placed on the north gate in large quantities.

This point, Mu Yong doubted, Liu Zheng had seen it on the city tower before, at least 20,000 officers and soldiers.

And with the addition of other city gates, there must be some officers and soldiers of the army, and if they are divided equally, the number of officers and soldiers who fall at the east city gate will definitely not be too much.

After all, the total number of officers and soldiers is only less than 40,000, and in Liu Zheng's guess, there are at most seven or eight thousand people on the side of the East City Gate.

By the time he arrived at the East Gate, it was already desolate.

Liu Pi led his soldiers and horses and had already launched a battle outside the city.

Similar to Liu Zheng's expectations, there are indeed only seven or eight thousand officers and troops here, Liu Pi's subordinates, with nearly 30,000 Yellow Turban Army, plus Xu You's capable person commanding, it seems that Liu Pi is several times the manpower of the official army, but Liu Pi's Yellow Turban Army, after all, are all farmers, and their combat power on the battlefield is really limited, and they can only rely on the relationship between the number of people to compete with the officers and soldiers, and the fight is quite fierce.

If you talk about soldiers and horses, these people under Liu Pi are actually not particularly weak, after all, they are also veterans of the battlefield and have participated in many battles.

But it was mainly Sun Jian who was stationed at the East City Gate, and he also had some cavalry, that is, these four or five hundred cavalry, rushing back and forth, sharp spears, could easily penetrate the body of Liu Pi's Yellow Turban Army, and the terrible lethality brought was far more terrible than that brought by the infantry.

The soldiers and horses under Liu Pi's command had a great impact, and they could only be attacked by the cavalry, and they were defeated and retreated.

The Yellow Turban Army is like this, if there is an advantage, the momentum is soaring, and when it beats the water dogs, it can show extraordinary combat effectiveness, but once it encounters a setback, its morale collapses, and it flees very quickly.

It only takes a few cavalry charges and sharp spears to pick up a few rows of Yellow Turban soldiers, and this group of Yellow Turban thieves will be in a mess, panicked, and then their morale will plummet, and they will no longer have the intention of fighting, they can only think of escaping.

And once you are afraid and want to run, it is impossible to run on two legs more than four legs, and the bloody massacre will be staged again at this time.

Although there were only seven or eight thousand officers and soldiers, the 30,000 people in Liu Pi's team who could be killed were defeated.

Liu Bi struggled to swing the big knife in his hand, and the knife crossed in front of him, bringing up a cold glow, and slashed an enemy cavalryman, blood splattered on his face, hot and fishy.

He didn't have time to think about anything, the big knife in his hand swung at another cavalryman beside him, but when his attack had not yet landed on the opposite body, a cold light rushed towards Liu Pi's side like a ghost.

Liu Bi, who sensed that something was wrong, immediately shook his body and made a difficult movement on the war horse, and the snowy long knife fell down on Liu Bi's side.

Liu Pi narrowly avoided the enemy's attack, and then became furious

"Look for death!"

Almost hit by the enemy, Liu Pi was furious, and then drew the big knife in his hand and slashed at the enemy behind him.

The officer and cavalry between the staggered horses also immediately looked awe-inspired.

Raise your hand to block, and use the spear in your hand to block Liu Bi's knife.

Their weapons intertwined, making a fierce metal clash.

Liu Bi only felt a huge force coming from his hand, blocking his long knife forward.

It was like a wall in front of him, and his knife slashed at it but did not move.

The huge impact force made Liu Pi almost unable to hold his knife.

And the other party is at ease. Blocking Liu Bi's knife can actually be a backhand and another blow.

Fortunately, at this time, Liu Bi sat down on his war horse and jumped forward, allowing Liu Bi to distance himself from the official cavalry, so that Liu Bi could pick up a life from life and death.

With the blow just now, Liu Bi could already feel that the person behind him was not an ordinary person, even if he dealt with it with all his might, he might not be the opponent of the other party.

So after distancing himself from the other party, Liu Bingbi had any hesitation, and immediately clamped the horse's belly and jumped forward to escape from the other party's men.

When the man saw Liu Bi turn around and flee, he was also furious and immediately roared.

"The thief will leave and eat me Cheng Pu with a shot!"

Liu Bi was frightened by the other party's words, he looked back and saw the other party chasing after him. The spear in his hand danced rapidly, and he was about to attack him again. It's even more terrifying. Without any intention of fighting, he immediately accelerated and fled the battlefield.

The Lord will flee. The Yellow Turban Army under Liu Pi also began to disperse.

Originally, relying on the advantage of a large number of people, he was barely able to confront the official army, and now he no longer had the morale to face the battle.

When Liu Zheng came to the East City Gate with his men and horses, he happened to see Liu Bi fleeing, and the soldiers and horses under Liu Pi's command began to retreat. The officers and troops gradually gained the upper hand and began to besiege the east gate to prevent the Yellow Turban army in the city from escaping from here.

Liu Zheng's face was ugly. His expression began to twitch slightly. He is also difficult to ride a tiger now.

originally thought that the East City Gate was his only hope for escape, after all, no matter how useless Liu Bi was, at least he still had twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses under his command, even if he couldn't deal with these officers and soldiers outside the city, it should be no problem to deal with one or two, but he didn't expect Liu Pi to be defeated and flee so quickly.

So. These officers and soldiers all became the pressure of Liu Zheng. If he wants to break out of the city, he will have to confront these officers and soldiers face to face.

Although the soldiers and horses under Liu Zheng have been trained by him in the past few days and look a little like each other, after all, they have never really been on the battlefield to fight with the officers and soldiers.

Liu Zheng was also not sure that he would be able to rely on the thousands of people under his command to deal with the six or seven thousand officers and troops outside the East City Gate.

But time waits for no one, if it continues to delay, after the officers and soldiers kill all the Yellow Turban Army under Liu Pi, the situation left for Liu Zheng will be even more bad, so he didn't have time to think about it and immediately let the Yellow Turban Army under his command rush out.

"Brothers, if you want to live, you have to kill it from the city, everyone come with me, and we will kill it together!"

Liu Zheng took the lead and rushed out on a war horse, followed by more than 100 cavalry behind him, opening the way for his infantry.
