Chapter 991: Trapping the camp to make a move
It stands to reason that if Guan Yu was the attacking party, he wouldn't have to be in such a hurry.
Anyway, you only need to wait, after surrounding Gan Ning's battalion, take slower offensive steps, and if there are more troops than the other side, the chance of victory is very high.
But with such a crazy attack, an attack at any cost, there is something not quite right.
It shows that Guan Yu wants to defeat Gan Ning as soon as possible, and he is in a hurry, so he will attack at such a cost.
After Liu Zheng came here, he saw this ruined battlefield and the shouts of killing from time to time, and he could feel how much pressure Gan Ning was on.
"Huang Zhong, immediately send men and horses over to support Gan Ning, after a day of fighting, I am afraid that Gan Ning's soldiers are tired, your men and horses will pass from the flanks, kill the enemy when you see them, rush in first, rescue Gan Ning!"
Liu Zheng didn't have time to think about anything, so he immediately gave an order to Huang Zhong.
He knew that the situation on the battlefield was urgent, and he didn't have time to hesitate, so he could only let Huang Zhong go down first, go and see the situation on the battlefield, and then improvise.
Huang Zhong was also aware of the current situation, and without saying anything, he led his 20,000 soldiers and horses to rush to the battlefield.
In fact, the battlefield was originally when the Ganning army was shrinking the defensive line, and the battle did stop for a while.
It's just that after Guan Yu's headquarters army converged, plus Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses, more than 70,000 troops were gathered here at one time.
Soldiers and horses were stationed in this generation, and tens of thousands of people in Ganning were surrounded by water.
Gan Ning was originally just blindly defending, but after Guan Yu's army arrived, Guan Yu wanted to use the army of seventy or eighty thousand to directly defeat Gan Ning, severely demoralize Liu Zhengjun, and at the same time give Liu Bei and Liu Zhang some confidence.
Under a frantic attack, he encountered the desperate resistance of the officers and men of the Ganning Army.
In the end, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of Ganning's army were killed, forcing Ganning to lose a circle of positions again, and could only continue to retreat to the inner line.
Of the 30,000 troops, 20,000 have been killed.
The remaining more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are still struggling to support, but fortunately, they use an effective formation to kill one in battle, and the people behind continue to fill in and fill the vacant positions.
In this way, it was a stalemate for a long time, and when it was night, it was dark and the lights were unknown, and Guan Yu's army gradually retreated.
However, as soon as he had eaten a little something, Su Fei rushed here again with Lu Bu's trapping camp.
Let Guan Yu's army, which was still resting, start fighting with Su Fei, Lu Bu and others again.
Gan Ning's side finally got some respite, and when he saw that the fight started outside again, he counted the time, and knew that this was the reinforcements from his side.
Therefore, in order to cooperate with Su Fei and Lu Bu, at this time, they also took the initiative to attack Guan Yu's soldiers and horses, wanting to contain part of Guan Yu's main force.
In this way, the battle, which had been suspended, began again at this time.
Su Fei only brought more than 10,000 soldiers and horses from Huang Zhong's army, although the number of these soldiers and horses was not large, but they were all elites, and when they attacked Guan Yu's army, both sides were in a state of exhaustion.
Guan Yu's side was that after a long battle, he didn't get a good rest, and his morale was not good, while Su Fei's side was also very tired because of the long and rapid march and rushed here.
A war in such a situation is actually not beneficial to both sides.
Fortunately, on Su Fei's side, most of them are shooters, so they don't need to charge in person, as long as they shoot at a long range and cause unexpected long-range damage to Guan Yu's side first, it is enough.
plus the 3,000 trapping camp led by Lu Bu.
After killing on the battlefield, it is like entering a no-man's land.
The three thousand trapped camp rushed from Xicheng to Nanzheng, but they were not tired, such a short distance, they still rode horses, it was the time of excitement, although there were only three thousand people, but after killing on the battlefield, one by one was excited.
Although these trapping camp soldiers were subordinate to Ding Yuan's soldiers and horses at the beginning, after several battles, the original trapping camp soldiers were almost killed and wounded.
There is no one in ten who can survive. Especially later, the trapping camp expanded from a few hundred to three thousand, and most of them were recruited from Liu Zheng's territory, and many of them were students in the academy.
can be regarded as the elite of Liu Zheng's elite, and he will not use this army at all.
Before, Liu Zheng used the trapping camp, almost all of which were against Liu Bei, such as the first time he went to Qingzhou to support, the second time he went to kill Gongsun Zhan, and the third time he attacked Xuzhou.
It's all related to Liu Bei, and now on the battlefield in Hanzhong, how can this army not come in handy.
Liu Zheng needed them to bring them from Yangzhou.
Some time ago, Lu Bu led these soldiers and horses, and stayed by Liu Zheng's side with Jinyiwei, and did not move.
That's because it's not time to use them yet, but it's different now.
Gan Ning is in trouble, and Liu Zheng knows that Guan Yu's army is besieging Gan Ning, so it is time to use Lu Bu and others.
After all, Liu Zheng's purpose in sending Lu Bu over this time was precisely to suppress Guan Yu.
With Guan Yu's ability, the other generals under Liu Zheng may not be his opponents.
Even if it is Huang Zhong, Liu Zheng is not 100% sure, thinking that Huang Zhong will definitely be able to defeat Guan Yu, besides, Huang Zhong has been cultivated by Liu Zheng as a handsome talent, so it is naturally impossible to continue to let Huang Zhong personally go into battle to kill the enemy.
Therefore, once on the battlefield, if Guan Yu really appears on the battlefield, the only person who can suppress him is Lu Bu.
Lu Bu took advantage of the night and led three thousand soldiers trapped in the camp to raise his sword and slaughter on the battlefield, and the sound of horses' hooves swept in, and in an instant, he tore a hole in the dense crowd of enemy soldiers.
Guan Yu's army, which originally had the upper hand, was quickly defeated because of the appearance of the trapped camp.
The appearance of these cavalry made Guan Yu, who had already planned to rest, also stand up excitedly from the rear.
Then he glanced around the battlefield and looked at the trapped faction.
Of course, mainly because it is night, and the line of sight is not clear, if it is daytime, then Guan Yu can recognize it at a glance, this cavalry is the trap camp that defeated him twice.
In the last battle of Xuzhou, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun joined forces to barely block the attack of the trapped camp, this time, if Guan Yu knew that these soldiers and horses were trapped in the camp, it would be bound to be in the hands of the trapped camp and regain the field.
"Trapped!"
After scanning back and forth, Guan Yu still recognized this strong opponent!
