Chapter 828: Yecheng is broken, Liu Bei is dead
Xu Ding said: "Jizhou has a vast territory and flat terrain, which is conducive to our war horses. As long as the main road of Taihang Mountain is sealed and constantly shrinking and surrounding, no matter how capable Zhuge Liang is, it is impossible for him to escape. β
"Generals, according to my will, do it quickly!"
"No..." Led by Guan Yu's Hebei Field Army, supplemented by Zhao Yun and Lu Bu, 120,000 troops were concentrated, and then the Jizhou border was encircled.
Lu Bu personally led 20,000 iron horsemen, together with Xu Ding and Guo Jia, towards Yecheng.
At the same time, he ordered Gan Ning to garrison in Julu.
Ordered the tens of thousands of Youzhou troops who were defeated back to Zhongshan to advance a hundred miles. On the northern border of Jizhou, build strong fortifications.
Da Da...
Xu Ding and Lu Bu's cavalry were still one hundred and fifty miles away from Yecheng.
"Report..." A scout came: "Your Majesty, Liu Bei's army has returned to Yecheng." β
"Is there any news of Zhuge Liang?" Xu Ding asked.
"Not yet."
"Let's find out and report again..."
"No!"
The scouts beat their horses and left.
Guo Jia picked up the map and said to Xu Ding: "Your Majesty, from here to Yecheng, it is all plains. Zhuge Liang had no troops, so it was impossible to set up an ambush. The minister suggested moving quickly and garrisoning troops outside Yecheng. In this way, Liu Bei could not escape. β
"Okay."
Xu Ding agreed.
Twenty thousand horsemen quickened their march.
Night.
The army arrives at Yecheng.
Xu Ding monitored it with the system, and Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were both in Yecheng.
There were about 30,000 enemy troops in the city.
Xu Ding finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "This time, we can plough the court and sweep the caves, and pacify Hebei in Yecheng." Feng Xiao ordered our troops, except for Guan Yu's department to block Taihang Mountain, and all the rest of the troops marched in a hurry to assemble here. β
Guo Jia said: "Your Majesty, Zhuge Liang is extremely cunning, will he arrange ambushes outside the city?" Our troops on the periphery will reunite in a few days.... β
"Not necessarily." Xu Dingdao: "I have already seen that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are both in Yecheng. There were also 30,000 enemy troops in the city. This is probably all of Liu Bei's troops. We don't have to wait any longer, surround Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in Yecheng, wait for the opportunity to eliminate them, and save them a chance to breathe. β
In fact, Guo Jia wanted to ask, how did Xu Ding know that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were in the city.
He has been with Xu Ding all the time, and he has not seen Xu Ding receive information.
Seeing that Xu Ding was full of confidence, Guo Jia arched his hand and said, "Yes." The minister immediately issued an order. β
...........
Under Xu Ding's plan, all the Huaxia troops in Jizhou gathered towards Yecheng. The troops, including Gan Ning and Zhao Yun, also rushed quickly.
During this period, Xu Ding asked LΓΌ Bu to send cavalry to blockade Yecheng.
Never let Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang escape.
Until three days later.
The armies arrived on the outskirts of Yecheng.
Xu Dingju will order troops.
"Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are both in Yecheng, and they have already spread their wings and cannot escape. Now it's up to us to see if we can take the city. Xu Ding looked at Zhao Yun: "Zilong, are you willing to take on this task?" β
"The last will go!"
Zhao Yun arched his hand and replied: "Our Sharp Knife Army was originally formed for the siege of the city, and only we can do it this time to attack Yecheng." Please rest assured, Your Majesty, within five days, the city will be broken. β
"Okay."
Xu Dingdao: "I asked Hansheng to give you 20,000 more troops to help you attack the city." I don't want you to break the city within five days, as long as you can enter Yecheng within fifteen days, it will be a great achievement for you. β
"Yes..."
Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong both responded.
"The rest of the troops are still blocking the road. Liu Bei can't be allowed to break through. Xu Ding looked at the map next to him, and had some doubts in his heart: "Fengxiao, I can be sure that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are in Yecheng." But I don't understand why they didn't run away before. Didn't Liu Bei already leave Yecheng and prepare to return to Taihang Mountain? Zhuge Liang is also helping him. But halfway through, he withdrew again. Does he want to defend Yecheng to the death? β
"Your Majesty..." Guo Jia smiled: "This is actually not difficult to understand. We have heavy troops on the border of Jizhou, and Liu Bei wants to escape, but he can't. In addition, Liu Bei himself is reluctant to Jizhou, and he has a lot of money and grain in his hands, so of course he wants to Bo Yibo. If he can hold Yecheng for a few months, and wait for Cao Cao and Sun Jian to get up, he can win. And Zhuge Liang couldn't persuade Liu Bei, so he could only accompany him to defend the city. This is Liu Bei's short-sightedness, and he will surely bring about his own destruction. β
"Humph!"
Xu Ding said: "Then let Liu Bei wait and see." β
..........
In view of the large amount of money and grain in Yecheng, it is impossible to besiege the city and wait for the enemy's army to run out of food, and only by capturing Yecheng can Liu Bei be completely eliminated.
Zhao Yun, as the commander of the Sharp Knife Army, personally led the army to attack the city.
Huang Zhong transferred 20,000 infantry troops as backup.
The army took up its position.
Zhao Yun shouted: "Siege!" β
Roar, roar, roar...
The soldiers pushed the siege equipment and marched towards Yecheng.
Yecheng is very tall and has a large number of defensive equipment, which is difficult to attack.
But Zhao Yun's Sharp Knife Army was specially formed for siege. The soldiers were very good at attacking cities. Not only is it well equipped, but the siege equipment is also complete.
There are more than 30 trebuchets alone.
During the siege of the city, three rows were placed outside the city, and the city tower was bombed continuously.
Boom boom...
Instead of stones, trebuchets shoot bombs. These bombs landed on the castle tower and exploded instantly, causing area damage.
"Ahh All the enemy soldiers who were blown up screamed miserably.
The body was divided and flew around, which was unbearable.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are both in the Tibetan cave inside the city tower, and through the doors and windows, you can clearly see the situation outside. At this time, Liu Bei regretted it, he underestimated Xu Dingjun's strength.
According to this siege, no matter how tall the city is, it will not be able to withstand it.
"Lord, Yecheng can't hold it... Let General Chen Zhi escort you out of the north gate, and the ministers will resist the army again. Zhuge Liang said.
"No!"
Liu Bei knew very well that Zhuge Liang was his only hope. Without Zhuge Liang's support, even if he rushed out, it would be impossible to succeed.
"Kong Ming, today's disasters are all caused by my hesitation. Because of his greed for money and food in Yecheng, he was besieged by Xu Ding. If you listen to you, wait for the opportunity in Taihang Mountain, and return to attack and merge the state, there will never be an urgent need now. Liu Bei said: "You hurry up and lead the army to break through, and I will stay to delay time." β
"If you want to break through, you should also break through the lord..."
"Kong Ming!" Liu Bei said: "If I leave, the morale of the army will be exhausted, how can I support it?" β
"My lord..."
"Needless to say, let's break through with General Chen Zhi. Assist Adou well, and in the future, Kuang will help the Han family, and I will be blind to death. Liu Bei called Chen Dao: "Take Mr. Kong Ming away." β
"This..."
Chen Zhi looked at Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang winked at him.
"The last will obey." Chen Zhi understood Zhuge Liang's thoughts, inadvertently walked next to Liu Bei, and knocked Liu Bei unconscious with one palm.
Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "General Chen Zhi, the situation is very critical now. It is okay for Yecheng to hold on for a few days, but it is absolutely impossible to hold it for a long time. You hurry back to the city and pick up three thousand elites. Two days later, we broke out together. β
"Why two days later?" Chen Zhi helped Liu Bei and looked outside the city: "According to the current situation, the city tower is easy to be breached." β
"I need two days to teach the soldiers how to form formations. And... Two days later, there will be a heavy rain, and that's when we break through! Zhuge Liang seemed to have made up his mind, and replied: "Don't rub it off, go and prepare." β
"No."
Chen Zhi didn't dare to delay, and took Liu Bei back to the city.
.............
In the next two days, Zhao Yun's sharp knife army and the elite of 20,000 infantry troops sent by Huang Zhong were always attacking the city.
Despite the difficulties of the fighting, the casualties were huge.
Zhao Yun did not give up.
Zhuge Liang transferred all his troops to defend the city and retreated the enemy with boiling water.
Chen Zhi selected 3,000 elites and trained with Zhuge Liang in the school field.
The main thing is to train formations.
The eight-array diagram is ever-changing, and the setter needs to have a certain understanding of the formation. It is even more necessary for generals who command large formations to be able to understand the formation and command the army to fight like waving their arms.
Zhuge Liang selected some clever futures, including Chen Zhi, and taught them to master the skills of the Eight Array Diagrams.
this day.
Early morning.
Liu Bei, who had just woken up, was sadly knocked out by Chen Zhi again.
It was raining heavily.
Xu Ding's army suspended the siege.
In order to break out of the encirclement, Zhuge Liang has already arranged everything.
As soon as the sky was bright, he asked Chen Zhi to mobilize 10,000 soldiers as the main force to feint against the enemy. Lined up in the North City. Then he took Liu Bei, commanded three thousand elites, and followed behind the ten thousand.
"Sir, everything is ready." Chen came to report.
"Well, in half an hour, break through to the northern city." Zhuge Liang to.
"Yes."
The clock ticked by.
Xu Dingshang was asleep, and Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong didn't care about Beicheng. These days are fighting in Dongcheng, and all the elites are also in Dongcheng. In the northern city, only Lu Bu's 5,000 iron cavalry and a few thousand soldiers under Huang Zhong's command blocked the road.
"Kill..." Half an hour is in the blink of an eye.
Zhuge Liang also gave an order, and 10,000 people rushed out of the city, divided into three roads, and attacked the outside.
At the same time, he and Chen Zhi led 3,000 elites, following behind, ready to fish in troubled waters and break out of the encirclement.
This way of breaking out is very common.
Large troops feint and small troops make elite assaults.
Once the enemy can't keep his mouth shut, it's easy to lose sight of one or the other and let the enemy escape.
Ten thousand soldiers rushed to the opposite side.
Lu Bu's iron cavalry, who was stationed outside, quickly realized that the enemy wanted to break through, and under the command of a school captain, urgently dispatched 3,000 cavalry to meet the battle.
Da Da...
The sound of horses' hooves raised.
The deafening shouts of killing broke the silence of the early morning, and even overpowered the sound of dripping raindrops.
The iron cavalry rushed over and fought with the 10,000 men sent by Zhuge Liang.
"General Chen, pass the order to the arrows and front the formation, and rush to the northwest to kill." Zhuge Liang came out of the car and shouted.
"Yes." Chen Zhi waved the command flag: "Ya Feng Array!" β
All the soldiers began to move quickly, forming a sharp knife, and quickly advancing towards the northwest.
The Ya Feng formation is best suited for breakouts.
The march is fast and explosive.
The arrow front array that has been modified by Zhuge Liang has the ability to change the formation and counter-encirclement.
Roar, roar, roar...
The Ya Feng array moved forward quickly.
Soon found a breakthrough and stabbed it fiercely.
The cavalry on the periphery was concentrating on dealing with the 10,000 feints of the troops, and they didn't even notice Zhuge Liang. The arrow edge array took the opportunity to rush over.
"General Chen Zhi, you quickly take the lord and leave first, and I will stay behind." After rushing out of the battlefield, Zhuge Liang said to Chen Zhi.
"Yes."
Chen Zhi led two thousand elites to escort the unconscious Liu Bei and ran towards Taihang Mountain.
Zhuge Liang led a thousand people and lined up in the same place.
Da Da...
When the formation was formed, LΓΌ Bu arrived with 5,000 cavalry.
Stop at a distance of five hundred meters from Zhuge Liang's Great Array.
"Fortunately, the lord found out in time, otherwise they would have escaped..." Lu Bu observed Zhuge Liang's large array, which didn't look very conspicuous, but it put pressure on him.
"A thousand people..." Lu Bu snorted, raised Fang Tian's halberd and shouted, "Brothers, rush over with me and capture Zhuge Liang alive!" β
"Kill..." The five thousand cavalry all rushed towards Zhuge Liang's formation.
The sound of rumbling horses' hooves made the ground tremble violently.
Zhuge Liang was in the middle of the formation and waved the command flag: "Change the formation, respond to the enemy!" β
The original arrow formation also turned into a tiger wing formation in an instant.
As the name suggests, the middle of the large array resembles a tiger, with wings on both sides.
When Lu Bu led the army to rush in, he shot a large number of arrows and javelins from the tiger's body, and the tiger's head shields lined up, and the spears pierced. Not only that, but the wings on both sides also pushed forward, flanking Lu Bu's cavalry.
Bang bang bang ...
Five thousand cavalry collided with Zhuge Liang's large array.
At this moment, LΓΌ Bu's cavalry was attacked from three sides. Although it was only for a short time, the damage inflicted on the cavalry was enormous.
Lu Bu could only rush forward desperately, but in front of him was the strongest place in the Tiger Wing Formation.
No matter how strong the cavalry is, it is difficult to break through.
"Kill..." The most powerful thing about the Tiger Wing Formation is not only that. Before, he flanked Lu Bu's tiger wings, attacked from the north and south, and acted quickly, and actually divided the cavalry behind Lu Bu.
It was probably an accident.
Originally, the Tiger Wing Array did not have this ability.
The two wings have very few troops and insufficient attack power, so they can only pin down the enemy army. However, Zhuge Liang's tiger wing array, the soldiers used were all carefully selected by Chen Zhi, and almost all of them were elite. Among them, there are also the original white-eared soldiers, who are extremely combative.
Under the attack of the north and the south, such a miraculous effect was obtained.
"Good!"
Zhuge Liang was very excited when he saw this scene in the array.
Only by dividing Lu Bu's cavalry into two sections could he break through each and resist for a longer time.
Da Da...
At this moment, Xu Ding personally led tens of thousands of cavalry and ran over from Zhuge Liang's right.
Extremely fast, without a moment's pause.
Once you run behind Zhuge Liang, you can form an encirclement of Zhuge Liang.
"Not good!" Zhuge Liang also reacted immediately.
He couldn't care about Lu Bu in front of him, and he had to evacuate as soon as possible.
"Scattered..." Zhuge Liang ordered the soldiers around him to run towards the northwest with the chariot. It's just the speed of the infantry army, where can I catch up with Xu Ding's cavalry. What's more, there was Lu Bu chasing behind him.
When the Tiger Wing Array dispersed, Lu Bu immediately pressed up.
Xu Ding's cavalry also ran farther and farther, rounding up in front of Zhuge Liang.
"Stop!"
Xu Dingmeng raised his hand and looked ahead: "Zhuge Liang can't escape this time." Han Sheng, I give you this credit, and you went to capture Zhuge Liang alive. β
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Huang Zhong was overjoyed and hurriedly led his troops forward.
