Chapter 884: Decisive Battle 9 is about to turn around
Guan Yu slashed the head of a dead soldier in front of him, and the other party was able to rush in front of Guan Yu, which shows how much he has suffered now!
[The shape is a little bad, although Yan Liang and Fu Zhi were killed, but our army's sharpness has been lost after cutting through Yuan Shaojun's ten-layer defense line, and the other party has exhausted our army's sharpness with huge casualties and difficult breakthroughs! After Guan Yu struggled forward and failed, he was secretly worried in his heart.
"The general is not good, the left flank of our army was broken through by Yuan Shaojun, and General Li Ran is leading his headquarters to fight with the enemy general Lu Kuang!" A soldier hurriedly rushed over and yelled at Guan Yu.
"Chen Jin, lead a Yuan Shaojun to block the right flank for me!" Guan Yu roared angrily, once Yuan Shaojun entered the Chinese army, it was possible to completely block his way back, and Liu Bei, who was also behind the Chinese army, could also be attacked.
When Chen Jin led a group of soldiers and horses to Guan Yu's left flank, Lü Kuang and Lü Xiang had already killed Li Ran, and Guan Yu's army was struggling to counterattack, but Guan Yu's army, which had been fighting for two hours, was already somewhat defeated by Yuan Shao's right-wing mixed corps.
On the other side, Cabbage had already fallen under Wen Chou's knife, and the angry Wen Chou led his headquarters directly into Gan Ning's Chinese army, preparing to kill Guan Yu and avenge Yan Liang after cutting off Gan Ning's back road.
At this moment, Yuan Shaojun's left and right wings have successfully bitten Liu Beijun's front army, basically from this moment on, Liu Beijun's front army has little hope of withdrawing from its own strength, either die in battle, or fight a bloody way to push Yuan Shaojun back, or can only rely on external forces.
"General, there is an order from the trial division. Cut off the Chinese army! "Probably less than five miles away from the battlefield, Gao Lan, who led the army from Bohai, was already in place.
"What? How could such an order be given? Gao Ran was taken aback and said, in his opinion, the most correct thing to do now is to go around to the rear of Liu Beijun's diagonal and launch a surprise attack on Liu Bei's headquarters.
"An order from the judge himself. Requires that you have to attack the Chinese army directly! The goal is to directly cut off the Chinese army! The herald said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Pass my command, the whole army is on horseback, ready to charge!" Gao Ran stared at the secret order, and the authenticity had been determined, and he immediately roared angrily.
Fifteen miles east of the battlefield, row a small boat and take the waterway, and take a shortcut after going ashore. But even with their best efforts, Xu Shu and Wei Yan still didn't block Gao Lan's Bohai Elite Rider!
"There's no way, rest for half an hour. It's too late. Xu Shu sighed and said, he guessed that the other party was Gao Lan stationed in the Bohai Sea, and he knew better what the other party's goal was.
It's a pity that Xu Shu knows the other party's goal and knows who the other party is. I know what the other party will use. Knowing how the other party would move, Xu Shu still didn't have any way, he tried his best to run the waterway overnight and still didn't block Gao Lan, this is the difference in mobility!
And now that a reorganized corps is so tired, even if it rushes to the battlefield, it doesn't have much combat effectiveness, so at a distance where the battlefield shouts and killings can already be heard, Xu Shu finally chose to rest.
"Yuan Zhi, our army is a quarter of an hour late. The scout came to report, and he had already seen the banner ten miles ahead. When he retreated, the other party was already on his horse and ready to charge, so should we rest here? Wei Yan said impatiently, and finally came up with such a result after a night of running.
"We must rest, even if the other party attacks, we must rest, we need to rest for half an hour to recover our combat effectiveness!" Xu Shu said in a deep voice, he was actually extremely anxious in his heart, but he calmly comforted Wei Yan and Guan Ping.
"What's more, the generals around the lord, General Gan, and capable ministers such as Jia Junshi, Guo Junshi, and Lu Tingshi, must be worry-free." Xu Shu seemed to be appeasing Wei Yan, but in fact he was cheering himself up.
After all, the strategy of transferring Gao Lan from Bohai to Yanzhou is too dangerous, and it is difficult to agree with it unless you have great courage, you must know that Gao Lan's departure also means that the defense of Bohai County, the largest county in Jizhou, has been empty, and if you don't want to fight Bohai, you will also destroy Liu Bei, Yuan Shao's ambition can be seen!
"Okay, then trim for half an hour, order the soldiers to rest and eat something, and we will attack in half an hour!" Wei Yan said as calmly as possible, he didn't want his panic to be passed on to his soldiers.
The soldiers under Wei Yan's command are all elite veterans of more than ten battles, and a small part of them belong to the city management troops that Wei Yan has deducted from his dead face!
Of course, this is also because Liu Bei admires Wei Yan very much, and he turns a blind eye in this regard, but it is precisely because of this that this integrated legion can rush to Yanzhou overnight, otherwise other legions will do this, even if they still have the breath, don't think about fighting, how can they rest and eat like this and have the strength to fight again.
After receiving the order, the soldiers under Wei Yan's command all moved their muscles and bones on the spot and swallowed the dried meat that Xu Shu gave them last night.
Xu Shu, who knew the urgency of this battle, threw away the excess grain and grass last night, distributed all the dried meat to the soldiers, and each received three steamed buns and went directly to the road, and now this group of people is swallowing dry food, drinking and pouring water with bamboo pipes when they walk the waterway.
When Wei Yan's army was making its final rest, Liu Beijun encountered the greatest crisis since the start of the war, and Gao Lan's 6,000 elite cavalry slashed directly into the center of the encirclement according to the order issued before the trial, cutting Liu Beijun and Yuan Shaojun in half at the same time!
Compared with Yuan Shaojun's strength, Liu Beijun's shortcomings of being cut into two sections were completely exposed, and because Gao Ran did not count the enemy's casualties in the charge, Liu Beijun did not have time to defend at all, and was chiseled into two sections.
In this way, Liu Beijun's front army was completely surrounded by Yuan Shaojun, and Guan Yu, Xu Chu, and Gan Ning were all trapped in the formation, and it was difficult to break through.
Gao Lan, who penetrated from the east to the west, merged with the Zhangzhou wolf cavalry at the moment of rushing out of the army, and at the same time launched an attack on Zhao Yun, who had less than 1,000 guards in his headquarters, and beheaded Zhao Yun, they were enough to surround Liu Bei's rear army!
Gao Ran started from the east to cut through Liu Bei's army, and Wen Chou and Lu Kuang's front army rushed up to prepare to completely cut off the connection between Liu Bei's army and the army.
"Wu Anguo, just form a phalanx to defend, you don't need to counterattack!" Seeing that Lu Su was about to order Wu Anguo, who was guarding several of his people, to lead the army to rescue the front army, Jia Xu said with a calm expression.
"Wenhe, at this time, if you don't join forces with the front army led by General Guan and others to open the encirclement, the front army of our army will be completely encircled!" Lu Su immediately said in shock, and Liu Bei's expression became solemn at this time. (To be continued......)
