Chapter 689: Striking the West
Wen hired himself to pick up a few soldiers under Zhang Feijun with one shot, looked at the enemy troops who were constantly surrounding in front of him, and forcibly suppressed the soldiers and horses on his side.
At this time, Wen Ren was also a little anxious.
I didn't care about so much, so I directly led a part of the men and horses in the front and began to fight with the enemy here, and the soldiers and horses under him were also the elite of Liu Zheng's subordinates, facing the men and horses under Zhang Fei, it was not bad, and the battle between the two sides triggered the follow-up reaction at this time.
The battle of tens of thousands of people is not a matter of time and a half, the two sides are at a stalemate here, and the army of Gongsun Zhan, who was stationed at the two outer city gates, rushed over at this time.
Liu Zheng went out of the city, not to break through, but to attract Liu Bei, Gongsun Zhan and others to the southern city gate.
The main role of Wenpin's army is to attract the attention of the enemy army and provide cover for Liu Zheng's army on the other side.
The battle lasted less than a stick of incense, and the men and horses of Gongsun Zhan's army, who had received the news from the side, had already arrived on the battlefield.
"Liu Zheng, if you want to break through, have you asked my Gongsun Zhan!"
From afar, Gongsun Chan shouted, trying to show his majesty.
As soon as the sound reached the battlefield, a group of white horses galloped from not far away.
Two thousand cavalry were the first to kill.
Although the white horse is powerful, the number of people has always been a problem, because Gongsun Chan has obsessive-compulsive disorder, not that the white horse does not want it, so the number of horses limits the number of his white horse righteous servants.
It is impossible to grow indefinitely, even when he has at least more white horses, it is only 4,000 horses, and when he is few, just like now, there are only 2,000 war horses.
In this way, there can only be more than 2,000 people under his White Horse Yicong.
When Bai Mayi went from killing to the battlefield, the civilian army, which gradually gained the advantage, began to have some disadvantages.
Originally, when only some of Zhang Fei's men were here, because there were not many people under Zhang Fei, it was not easy to completely block the 20,000 people on Wenpin's side.
In addition, Liu Zheng had already instructed Wen Ping before, leave the enemy generals alone, and mainly kill the opponent's soldiers.
Therefore, the men and horses led by Wen Ping were able to suppress Zhang Fei's 10,000 horses in a short time.
And vaguely has begun to break through to the perimeter of the encirclement.
But now that Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yi has arrived here, the situation has been somewhat reversed.
Although the number of White Horse Yicong is small, after all, they are cavalry, and cavalry has a terrible ability to rule on the battlefield.
As soon as he appeared, he immediately used long-range shooting, causing a lot of damage to these soldiers under Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng, who had been hiding in the inner city and had not personally participated in the battle, immediately ordered after seeing Gongsun Zhan's reinforcements arrive.
"Retreat! Evacuate to the city! Withdraw, don't continue to break through! ”
The cavalry arrived, and with it more reinforcements moved closer to this side. Continuing to break out is not a wise choice.
Anyway, Liu Zheng also had his own plan, so he simply ordered these people who broke through at this time not to continue to rush forward, but to start withdrawing.
You only need to guard the gate of Huainan City.
Buying time for Xu Huang's people is enough to achieve Liu Zheng's goal.
"Hold the gates of the city, don't let the enemy enter the city, and our goal has been achieved! Hold! ”
After receiving Liu Zheng's order, Wen Ping immediately drew back his spear, and a bloody battle made Wen Ping a little excited at this time, but Liu Zheng ordered him to retreat, and he had to obey Liu Zheng's order.
"Brothers, withdraw!"
Wen Ping shouted at the soldiers beside him, and then took the lead and began to retreat to the gate of Huainan City in the rear.
And the soldiers on Zhang Fei's side became more and more courageous because of the reinforcements, although they had lost half of the men, but they were not afraid of it, but continued to attack, pursuing Wenpin's men and horses.
The two sides were involved at this time, and they also caused some losses to these horses under Liu Zheng's command, but they were not enough to completely annihilate the soldiers and horses in Liu Zheng's hands.
Liu Zheng was also able to continue the fierce battle with Zhang Fei's men here with the help of Wenpin's men.
At the same time, there were more and more people gathered at the southern city gate, and Liu Zheng also knew that this was the perfect time for Xu Huang's men and horses to start attacking.
While sending people to inform Xu Huang in the city, he led 20,000 cavalry to kill from the other city gates and deal a fatal blow to these enemy troops.
On the other hand, he commanded the rest of the men and horses, and resisted the impact of Zhang Fei and Gongsun Zan here.
At the west gate of Huainan City.
Xu Huang, who had already been ready to attack at any time, was no longer willing to wait after receiving Liu Zheng's order, and immediately waved his troops out of the city.
Guarding the west gate were Liu Chong's 20,000 troops and a part of Gongsun Zhan's men and horses.
After receiving the request for help from the southern city gate, Gongsun Zhan's men and horses immediately led the white horse Yicong of the headquarters to take the lead in supporting, leaving only 20,000 Liu Pet's soldiers and horses at the west gate, and some of Liu Pet's soldiers and horses were also on the way to the south, intending to support the south city gate.
That is to say, at the west gate at this time, the total number of soldiers and horses stationed outside the city is less than 10,000.
When the city gate was opened, and Xu Huang's cavalry rushed out from here, it immediately caused panic among the remaining soldiers and horses stationed here.
They never expected that some people in the city would break through from the west gate.
However, after Liu Pet, who was stationed here, saw this situation, he was not afraid, but showed a trace of excitement on his face.
"Interesting, so interesting, I didn't expect Liu Zheng to actually fight for the purpose of attacking the east and west, while sending people to attack the south city gate, and now there are so many cavalry arranged at the west city gate, it seems that what they really want to attack is the west city gate!"
At this time, Liu Pet didn't know that the number of cavalry in the city was as high as 20,000, and he only saw a part of the cavalry rushing out of the city.
I only thought that these people of myself could confront these people in the city, as long as they waited for Liu Bei's people to react, the people at the north city gate would soon come to support.
So instead of being afraid, Liu Chong immediately let his people start to go up to block Xu Huang's breakthrough.
Although there are less than 10,000 people, it is still possible to have a city gate for the Lord.
Those Liu Pet's men and horses were also well-trained, and under Liu Pet's orders, they immediately formed a phalanx, and with Liu Pet's lead charge, they also took the initiative to meet Xu Huang's cavalry.
Xu Huang, who rushed to the front, smiled when he saw that there were still people who were not afraid of death and wanted to compete with their cavalry.
"Soldiers, charge with me, and give these enemies who don't know whether they live or die, and take a look at some of them!"
