Chapter 279: Liu Bei has withdrawn

"Wait!"

Xu Shu rode a fast horse and chased after him from behind: "Uncle Huang can't go to danger in person." Cao Cao's army is fierce and may be difficult to resist. It is expected that within three or five days, Cao Cao will personally lead an army of 100,000 to come, and Liu Biao will be defeated at that time. Uncle Huang did not guard against going east, took Jiangxia to stand on his own, and then took Changsha, Lingling and other counties to consolidate his military strength and fight Cao Cao again. This is a plan to retreat and advance, and I hope that Uncle Huang will adopt it. ”

Liu Bei had already had the heart to take Jiangxia, but he could only think about it and didn't dare to do it. Because Jiangxia is an important town in Jingzhou and is also Liu Biao's territory, how can he take away Liu Biao's territory if he lives here and has not repaid his kindness? What should the people of the world think of him?

Liu Bei took out his double-strand sword and snorted: "The Jingzhou army is in danger, I don't want to save it, but like Cao Cao, isn't it unkind and unjust to seize the territory of Jingzhou?" I'd rather die for such things! ”

"Second brother, third brother, quickly meet Cao Jun with me!"

"Yes..."

Liu Bei did not take Xu Shu's advice.

Under his leadership, five thousand elite foot soldiers rushed into the camp and flanked Xu Chu's iron cavalry.

Among these 5,000 foot soldiers, there are Chen Zhi's Baiwei soldiers, Xu Geng's Danyang soldiers, and the veterans who have survived the battle with him for a long time, all of them are brave and warlike, and they are not afraid of strong enemies.

"Kill..." Zhang Fei is a loud voice, roaring when he enters the camp, and his momentum is majestic. The iron cavalry of the Cao army in front of him looked sideways.

"An enemy is coming, meet it!" The reaction of the generals of the Cao army was also extremely fast, and the moment they saw Zhang Fei, they immediately led the army to meet the battle. Thousands of iron horsemen turned around and intercepted Zhang Fei.

Puff puff...

"Death to those who stand in my way!" Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear is extremely lethal, and it can cause casualties to the enemy with a casual swing.

Under his divine power, Cao's iron cavalry was quickly killed.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others also came later and joined Zhang Fei to kill the enemy.

Although they have few soldiers and horses, they are the best of the best.

Several fierce generals are even more invincible.

Coupled with the sudden attack, Cao Jun fell into passivity.

At this time, the cowardly Jingzhou army, seeing Liu Bei's reinforcements coming, still faintly showed signs of suppressing Cao's army, so they joined the battle one after another and besieged Xu Chu's iron cavalry.

For a while, the war was in a stalemate, and the fight was difficult to solve.

Rear battalion.

Liu Biao was hiding in a camp and was already shivering.

"How's the battle going?"

"Have Liu Xuande's reinforcements arrived?" Liu Biao asked.

There were a dozen people standing in front of him. Among them are his two sons, Liu Qi and Liu Cong (ten years old), Jingxiang famous scholar Yi, strategists Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, generals Cai Mao, Huang Zu, Wen Ping, etc.

It is also strange to say that there are many talents under Liu Biao, but they are not reused.

The greater the ability, the more it must not be reused.

For example, Wenpin and Yi, one is a good general, and the other is a good strategist, but they are all left aside, and their official positions are low, but Cai Mao and Huang Zu are reused.

Another example is Huang Zhong and Wei Yan in Changsha County...

They couldn't even see Liu Biao's face, so they could only serve in the army locally.

"Back to my lord, now that the camp is mixed, there is no news yet. However, Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry had already broken through our defense line and came towards the rear camp, and the last general was willing to lead the soldiers of the rear camp to meet Cao Chun. Huang Zu arched his hand and said.

"Good... Just go! ”

"Yes."

Huang Zu left with his hand.

It didn't take long for a fast horse to report: "Lord Yu, Cao Chun's tiger and leopard have retreated..." ”

"It must be Liu Xuande who arrived!"

Liu Biao knew very well in his heart that he owned the nine counties of Jingxiang and had 300,000 male soldiers in his hands, but his combat effectiveness was actually very weak. Don't look at Liu Bei's few soldiers and horses, but he can take on heavy responsibilities and save people in danger.

"Xuande arrived, I'm worry-free!"

"Lord, Liu Bei has few soldiers after all, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat tens of thousands of Cao troops. The soldiers in our battalion were scattered by Xu Chu's iron cavalry, and it was difficult to gather for a while, if Liu Bei could contain the enemy for a few moments, and wait for me to gather a large army to counterattack, we would definitely win. Please ask the lord to send someone to inform Liu Bei and ask him to hold Xu Chu for half an hour.... Cai Mao said.

"Hmm."

Liu Biao said to Yi Yuan on the side: "You lead a light cavalry to pass on my words, and ask Liu Bei to face Xu Chu." ”

"Yes." The Iraqi retreated.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, who were rushing to kill in the camp, soon met the Iraqi nationality. Yi Ji gave an order according to Liu Biao's words, and after Zhang Fei heard it, he was very excited to fight Xu Chu to the death. Liu Bei was already a little unhappy in his heart. There is no other reason. Liu Biao had more than 100,000 heavy troops, and he did not face Xu Chu, but asked him to take on a heavy responsibility with only a few thousand men. Isn't this hitting a stone with an egg?

He risked his life and came to the rescue, he has done his duty, Liu Biao still has to make inches?

Well, who called me Uncle Liu.

I must be righteous!

Liu Bei responded: "Please rest assured, Brother Jingsheng, with my Liu Bei here, Xu Chu's iron cavalry will not be able to rush to the back camp." ”

"That's very good."

Yi Ji glanced at Liu Bei a few more times and went back to his life.

...............

The war went on for a long time.

The 20,000 iron cavalry led by Xu Chu were always fighting.

Cao Chun was worried that Xu Chu would not be able to defeat Liu Guanzhang, so he led the tiger and leopard to ride back to help, and attacked Liu Bei with Xu Chu. Although Liu Bei had the heart to fight, he was outnumbered and difficult to be the enemy, and after holding on to half a pillar of incense, he was killed and his vitality was greatly damaged.

Xu Shu risked his life, rushed to Liu Bei's location, and advised: "Uncle Huang, don't fight anymore, leave quickly!" ”

"Sir, how did you get here?"

"Uncle Huang is in danger of being in danger, how can he be in danger? If there are three long and two short, who will support the Han family? Xu Shu asked.

"I have already said before, killing Cao is to help the Han family." Liu Bei said.

"But Cao's army is powerful, what can I do? Uncle Huang is just afraid that the world will say that you are ungrateful and did not help Liu Biao, but in fact, Uncle Huang has already helped, but his strength is weak and he can't save it, it is enough to convince the world.... Xu Shu hurriedly persuaded: "I'll ask Uncle Huang again, who should be taken compared to benevolence and righteousness compared to the Kuangfu Han family?" ”

"Sir's words made me feel empowered!" Liu Bei seemed to have suddenly realized, and shouted at Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others who were fighting hard in the distance: "Second brother, third brother, withdraw the army quickly!" ”

"The lord has an order, withdraw the army immediately!" Zhao Yun and Guan Yu shouted.

Liu Bei's remaining remnants of more than 1,000 troops, relying on the bravery of Guan, Zhang, Zhao and others, rushed to the south. Although he was intercepted by Xu Chu Tieqi, he finally escaped from the camp.

After Liu Bei left.

The Jingzhou army continued to fight with Xu Chu and Cao Chun's iron cavalry.

Due to Liu Bei's delay of half a pillar of incense, Cai Mao temporarily gathered more than 30,000 elites to form a defensive army array. When the iron cavalry rushed in, it resisted the attack of Cao's army.

At the same time, soldiers and horses from all over the camp were gathering in the Chinese army and surrounded Cao's iron cavalry.

Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, and others, who were in Xiangyang City, had been paying attention to the battle, knowing that Xu Chu and Cao Chun's army was under siege, and resolutely decided to lead 20,000 elites to rescue. And set up an ambush outside Xiangyang City, and when he retreated, he ambushed Liu Biao.
