Chapter 399: Bitter Meat Trick (2)

"Kill..."

The Bai soldiers seemed to know Zhang Liao's location, and they all killed him.

Zhang Liao's personal guards met the battle one after another, but when they encountered the Bai Wei soldiers, they were all defeated.

"This elite... It is even stronger than General Cao Chun's tiger and leopard horse! Zhang Liao didn't want to believe it, but it was the case. The White Guards are not only well-trained and well-equipped, but also very tenacious. Zhang Liao saw with his own eyes that some of the dying Baiwei soldiers did not give up killing the enemy, and before they died, they pulled two pads on their backs, or desperately hugged the enemy's legs, making it easier for their companions to kill the enemy.

I can't imagine what kind of spirit can support the Bai Wei soldiers and fight regardless of their own lives.

If you want to say that they are not afraid of death, they really did.

"General, Zhuge Liang seems to have been prepared, and our army was killed in the front camp and met with stubborn resistance. There is Zhang Fei's elite guard there, and we can't attack it. "A general came to report.

"What?" Zhang Liao exclaimed: "How long has it been since this happened, and our army has not yet entered the enemy camp?" ”

"Yes."

Zhang Liao changed horses and looked around. He found that Zhuge Liang's camp was full of flags, in addition to Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, and Zhao Yun's banners, which were also planted everywhere. Thinking about the tens of thousands of troops he brought, they have not been attacked until now, Zhang Liao is a little worried. This was obviously arranged by Zhuge Liang in advance, and the infighting in the camp may also be fake, in order to lure him into the bait. Liu Bei's current military strength still has tens of thousands.

"Report..."

Just when Zhang Liao hesitated whether to withdraw to Xiangyang City, another soldier came: "General Yu, Han Xian and Hu Cai led the army to help, but their rear army was attacked by Liu Bei's army and is now fighting fiercely. ”

"Order to withdraw!" Zhang Liao finally made up his mind.

"Once our army retreats, there will be chaos, and then it will be chased and killed by the white soldiers, then..." Zhang Liao's lieutenants all understood this truth.

How could Zhang Liao not understand?

In order to unify his thoughts, Zhang Liao explained: "This is not far from Xiangyang City, as long as we turn around, we can quickly retreat to the city. There won't be many casualties. And if you stay, you may be wiped out. Look at the battlefield, there are enemy troops everywhere, whether Wei Xu is really willing to surrender, I don't dare to guarantee that all this may be Zhuge Liang's conspiracy, and he has already laid a heavy ambush. If we hesitate any longer, what will be the consequences? ”

"Don't say anything, order the withdrawal of troops!"

"Yes..."

As Zhuge Liang expected, Zhang Liao really ordered the withdrawal of the army.

Tens of thousands of Cao troops changed from offensive to defensive, and then retreated.

This sudden change seems simple, but in fact it requires the flexible command of the generals of the Cao army, and once it goes wrong, it will immediately cause chaos.

"Military advisor, Zhang Liao has withdrawn..." When Liu Bei saw this scene, he couldn't believe it at all.

His admiration for Zhuge Liang deepened again.

Liu Bei asked curiously: "Strategist, how do you know?" ”

"Zhang Liao thought that Wei Xu was not really surrendered, and there was no infighting in our battalion. All this was a ploy by us to lure him into the bait, so he concluded that there was a heavy ambush in the camp, and even if he could break through to the east camp, it would be impossible to win. In order to preserve his strength, Zhang Liao could only withdraw first. ”

"I see..."

Liu Bei was excited: "It's okay now, as soon as Zhang Liao withdraws, our army will win!" ”

Zhuge Liang called the herald again, and said: "The Danyang soldiers who are crazy about the herald do not need to attack the rear of the enemy army again. Let him rush to the three-way official road five miles away, which is a very important position. Hold there, block Zhang Liao's retreat, and intercept the enemy forces that come to the rescue. Then he ordered General Zhang Fei to suppress the rebellion in the camp with all his might.... ”

"Strategist, I will handle the suppression of the rebellion. Let Yide assist Chen to face Zhang Liao. Liu Bei said suddenly.

"Okay."

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "The lord beware." ”

Liu Bei left with the herald.

...........

If you want to suppress the rebellion in the camp, it is actually very simple.

Liu Bei already had a comprehensive plan.

After entering the camp, he found the generals of the Chinese army, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, and ordered them to gather all the troops and force the surrenderers to stop fighting.

Then go to the back camp and bring Wei Xu.

Wei Xu was seriously wounded, lying on a wooden plank and being carried by several soldiers.

to the battlefield.

Liu Bei opened his mouth and said, "Everyone be quiet. All this was a misunderstanding, General Wei Xu did not surrender to Cao's army, and the letter was also fake, this was a ploy set up by the military advisor in order to lure Cao's army. Now that the enemy has been fooled, the tens of thousands of troops led by Zhang Liao have been surrounded by us, he can't escape, I need your help.... ”

Liu Bei not only had to suppress the rebellion and persuade the surrender troops again, but also let the surrendered troops go to the front to assist in the battle.

Wei Xu was carried by the soldiers, and also came over and said: "Brothers, what the lord said is true, this is the strategy of the military advisor, you don't fight anymore, kneel down quickly..." ”

Even Wei Xu said this, he must not be wrong.

The soldiers present knelt down one after another after whispering.

They surrendered to Liu Bei again.

Liu Bei drew his sword and shouted: "Sergeants, there is still a battle outside the camp now, we can't stand idly by, we all join me, kill out of the camp, and fight to the death with the enemy!" ”

"Kill..."

Thousands of troops surrendered to Huang Zhong and Wei Yan's troops and fought out of the camp.

Zhang Fei's veteran battalion no longer guarded the East Camp and participated in the pursuit.

The entire Liu Beijun began a full-scale counteroffensive.

Xiangyang West City.

On the castle tower.

Xu Huang saw that Zhang Liaojun was defeated and retreated, and he was even more determined in his thoughts. Wei Xu's surrender letter was fake, and he wanted Wei Xu to lead his troops into Xiangyang, and then join forces with the outside to capture the city. But this matter, due to his persistence, did not succeed. Then Zhuge Liang used a bitter trick to lure Zhang Liao into being deceived, causing tens of thousands of Cao troops to fall into siege.

"Zhuge Liang is good at calculation, I will go to the rescue now, and I don't know... Can Zhang Liao be rescued? Xu Huang hesitated.

There were forty-five thousand soldiers on the battlefield, which was enough.

Even if more troops are sent, it will not make much difference.

Whether he can break out of the encirclement and return to Xiangyang City depends on Zhang Liao's ability.

"General, are we just watching? If General Zhang is defeated, how can we defend Xiangyang if we lose our troops and lose our generals? A general in the former Jingzhou Army, named Liu Hu, said.

Xu Huang looked sideways at him: "Your name is Liu Hu?" ”

"Yes General."

"Liu Biao's nephew?"

Liu Hu said happily: "I didn't expect the general to remember the last general." ”

Xu Huang said: "I remembered... You have a spearman under your command, and you can fight well and have good strength, is it true? ”

Liu Hu clenched his fists and said, "Thank you for the general's compliment." The spearmen of the last general are indeed an elite force. However, they were only good at meeting the cavalry, and had little effect on the infantry. Moreover, in the last battle, there were many casualties, and now they have basically lost their combat effectiveness. What the general commanded, the last general was willing to lead other armies into battle. ”
