Chapter 490: Decisive Battle with Zhuge Liang (5)
Han Shin's 1st Division was still a vanguard.
However, this time, it was not a company or a regiment, but the entire 1st Division, totaling more than 10,000 people. Concentrate on one line to advance.
With such a strong lineup, even if you encounter danger, you can cope with it.
"Let's go!"
With Han Shin's order, the 1st Division began to advance.
Bang bang bang...
Not surprisingly, they didn't go far before they were ambushed by the Shu army. More than 20,000 people who had retreated before also gathered around after receiving Ma Dai's encouragement.
Facing the strong attack of tens of thousands of Shu troops.
The 1st Division made a full-scale counterattack. In just half an hour, he broke out of the encirclement and killed more than 10,000 Shu troops!
Seeing the powerful firepower of the 1st Division, the defeated Shu soldiers were about to go crazy, and they fled desperately, no matter how Ma Dai dissuaded and stopped, it was useless.
Take advantage of this gap...
LΓΌ Bu followed behind the 1st Division and advanced quickly.
The long queue almost crosses the rocky forest, the front is halfway through, and the back has just entered the stoney forest. This made both Lu Bu and Xu Shu worried. What if the troops behind are besieged without the escort of the new army?
"Speed up!"
Lu Bu shouted urgently.
"Go to General Zang Ba and lead the cavalry of the headquarters to break off." Xu Shu said to a herald behind him.
"No."
After the herald left, Lu Bu looked at Xu Shu in some surprise. If you want to talk about the elite of the cavalry, of course, it must belong to Xiang Yu's broken military camp, but Xu Shu does not use Xiang Yu, but uses Zang Ba instead.
It can be seen that Xu Shu also knows that the stone forest is full of dangers, and Xiang Yu and the broken military camp are the kings in the field, what if there is an accident. Therefore, Xiang Yu was preserved and Zang Ba was used instead.
Is this a good arrangement?
Lu Bu didn't bother to think about it, and drove the red rabbit horse forward quickly.
Da Da...
Except for Zang Ba's 3,000 horsemen, all of them passed quickly.
Soon.
Han Shin's 1st Division was the first to walk out of the multi-stone forest. He realized that there were a lot of Shu troops in the Duoshi Forest, and once they ran out, it would make it more difficult to eliminate Zhuge Liang. The 9th Regiment was ordered to build three fortifications along the edge of the rocky forest.
"My lord..."
Following Han Xin, Lu Bu and Xu Shu also came out.
The rest of the troops, still on the march...
"You asked the 9th Regiment to build fortifications, did you want to intercept the Shu army with many stone forests?" Lu Bu asked.
"Yes."
Han Xin arched his hand and replied: "We are going to attack Zhuge Liang, and the stone forest will become our rear." If they press up, we will be attacked on both sides. Therefore, it is better to set up a card to intercept. β
Han Shin was very thoughtful.
But Lu Bu had his own considerations: "Your 1st division is the main force attacking Zhuge Liang, and you shouldn't waste your troops here." Time is pressing, you can go quickly, and I'll take care of things here. β
"Yes..."
"Wait."
Lu Bu looked around, put it in Han Xin's ear, and whispered, "I only have two requirements for you. The first is to protect Yuanba and filial piety. I don't want to see any of them, hurt in the slightest. The second is Zhuge Liang's head, take it back for me. It doesn't matter what the rest does, you know what I mean? β
"It's... The end will understand. β
Han Xin couldn't believe what he heard.
"Kill...!"
Not long after Han Xin's 1st Division left, there was a shocking shout of killing in the Duoshi Forest. Lu Bu stood outside the rocky forest, poking his head out, and could only vaguely see the two armies fighting.
"It must be Zang Ba's cavalry and the Shu army fighting..." Xu Shu said.
"Not only Zang Ba's cavalry, but also the more than 10,000 soldiers we didn't have time to withdraw in a hurry, are also fighting with the Shu army." Lu Bu looked around and called Xiang Yu: "Now it's up to you to break the barracks." Before the Shu army has fully gathered, defeat them immediately! However, you have to pay attention to the fact that the stone forest was laid down by Zhuge Liang, and it was difficult to discern the direction. Look at the compass, and follow the direction of the compass. β
"Yes."
Xiang Yu had already wanted to make a move.
He rode a black horse and galloped to break through the barracks to join the battle.
"Sir, don't worry, Xiang Yu will end the battle soon." Lu Bu said to Xu Shu.
"Let's hope..."
No one knows what is going on in the rocky forest. Maybe there were 50,000 Shu troops, maybe 100,000, maybe 150,000... Coupled with Zhuge Liang's formation, the enemy's combat effectiveness can be imagined.
Xu Shu was still looking forward to Xiang Yu's broken military camp being able to shine in the decisive battle with Zhuge Liang, and now that he was in the unknown battlefield, how could he not worry?
"Han Xin's 1st Division has gone to Zhuge Liang, and the battle will start soon. The lord should still focus the battle on the south side. Here are ministers and generals Xiang. Xu Shu asked.
Lu Bu thought for a while and agreed: "Okay." I left my husband with five thousand elites. β
After some scheduling.
Xu Shu led 5,000 elites to garrison at the edge of the multi-stone forest, ready to rush to the aid or receive Xiang Yu, Zang Ba, and the more than 10,000 soldiers who had to be evacuated in a hurry in the future.
Lu Bu took the remaining soldiers and horses, about 60,000 or so, and went to chase Han Xin.
....................
At this time, in Zhuge Liang's camp, it had been made into a pot of porridge.
Although the 5,000 elites under Zhang Ren were brave and good at fighting, after all, the number was too small, and they gradually fell into disadvantage when they fought against several times the Shu army. Their number slipped from five thousand to four thousand, three thousand... Now there are less than two thousand left.
However, the elite is the elite, and no matter how heavy the casualties are, no one will withdraw from the battle.
Zhang Ren was also infected and fought extremely bravely.
And Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao, known as the gods of war, have been burning Zhuge Liang's camp. It took a whole hour to set the entire Shu military camp on fire.
But they gradually realized that what they were doing was foolish.
Because the fire is getting bigger and bigger, even they have been affected and have difficulty moving. Many times when they encounter wet wood is ignited, clouds of green smoke rise, and they cough when they smoke, which is very uncomfortable.
"Zhuge Liang, where is this old thief?" Li Cunxiao became more and more anxious.
"Don't look for it, let's fight."
Li Yuanba also became very irritable.
From the beginning of the battle to the present, he has been following Li Cunxiao, setting fires everywhere, although he also killed a lot of Shu troops on the way, but they are all small fights, and he always feels unpleasant.
Every time he was killing, he was pulled away by Li Cunxiao.
Li Cunxiao waved his Yu Wang lance and said, "It seems that we don't want to complete the task." Since that's the case, then just listen to you and kill him first. β
"Good! This is long overdue. When these hundreds of thousands of Shu troops are killed, won't they be able to capture and kill Zhuge Liang? "Li Yuanba is like saying something very easy.
"Hey, hey... Listen to you. β
After Li Cunxiao agreed.
The two men each armed and engaged in brutal hand-to-hand combat.
"Ahh Boom!! β
Li Cunxiao went east, Li Yuanba went west, and when he saw the Shu army, he killed him without mercy.
