Chapter 283: The Decisive Battle of Fugou (2)
"Withdraw, withdraw!"
Yuan Shang's courage and confidence were not left by Lu Bu, Li Cunxiao, and Li Yuanba, and seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer to him, he no longer had the heart to face the battle, and fled in the direction of Yuan Shao.
Lu Bu took advantage of the victory to pursue and bite Yuan Shang to death.
Hunt until the end of the battlefield...
Yan Liang and Wen Chou have already set up a position. 40,000 elite foot soldiers, lined up in 30 phalanxes and 10 circles. After Yuan Shang's defeated troops retreated, they disappeared into the phalanx, without causing confusion in the formation.
When Lu Bu saw it, he was also a little surprised, and subconsciously reined in the horse's reins.
"This array is not simple, and it should not be careless."
"It doesn't matter what kind of formation he is, let's talk about it." Li Cunxiao waved his hand and led the Flying Tiger Army forward.
Li Yuanba was not to be left behind, and also followed Li Cunxiao.
"Yuanba, Cunxiao..." Lu Bu was startled, glanced at Xu Chu and the Tiger Guards behind him, and shouted angrily: "Kill it!" ”
"Kill...!" More than 200 Flying Tiger Army and more than 2,000 Tiger Guards faced the 40,000 elite infantry soldiers who were ready for work and had been prepared for a long time. No matter in terms of equipment, numbers, and tactics, it is not superior.
Lu Bu also knew that his approach was a bit reckless. It would be much safer to avoid its edge, make a detour to attack the enemy, or send the Tiger Guards to charge the formation, and then disrupt the enemy's formation. However, Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba have already made a move, and he can't sit idly by.
Coming to the military formation of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Li Yuanba flew up a hammer and smashed it into a row of soldiers, originally with the power of the drum urn and the golden hammer, at least four or five soldiers could be smashed. But the moment the golden hammer of the drum urn fell, the soldiers automatically avoided it and made way for Li Yuanba, making Li Yuanba's golden hammer fall short.
Li Yuanba glanced at it, didn't bother to care about those cowards, and went directly into the battle.
Li Cunxiao and the Flying Tiger Army also encountered the same problem, when they entered the battle, the enemy not only did not block it, but also left a wide road, enough for Li Cunxiao and the Flying Tiger Army to enter.
Li Cunxiao is smarter than Li Yuanba, and knows that the enemy is fiddling with the formation, and once he enters the formation, it will be dangerous.
But the matter has come to this point, and he can't care so much, let's talk about it first.
After Lu Bu and Xu Chu arrived, they didn't think much about it, and prepared to enter the battle to chase Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao. However, at the moment when Lu Bu entered the formation, the gate of the formation suddenly closed, and one shield was raised, and a spear with a handle stabbed out, attacking Xu Chu and the Tiger Guards who were preparing to enter the formation.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Whoosh...
Wen Chou didn't know where it came from, so he shouted loudly, and the two bow and arrow phalanx, about two thousand people, shot at Xu Chu and the Tiger Guards outside together, and repelled them.
After Lu Bu entered the battle, he was never attacked by the enemy.
It wasn't until he ran into a circular phalanx that he saw the drums beating loudly and the flags waving in front of him. The soldiers around him all gathered around him, stabbing with spears and iron halberds.
Bell, bell, bell...
Lu Bu grabbed Fang Tian's halberd in one hand and the Qingyu Sword in the other, first used the Qingyu Sword to cut off the enemy's weapons, and then used Fang Tian's halberd to sweep in a circle, killing more than 20 soldiers around him in seconds.
Before he could catch his breath, more than twenty soldiers gathered around.
Lu Bu continued to repeat the movements...
The other side. Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba are simply crazy, relying on their infinite strength, they are rampage in the formation, and no one can stop them. The military formations of Yan Liang and Wen Chou were scattered.
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shang, Fu Zhu, Xu You, and Guo Tu were all dumbfounded. It was the first time they had seen an enemy besieged by 40,000 elite foot soldiers who could kill the enemy so easily and calmly.
If it continues like this, I am afraid that I will not be able to capture Lu Bu, and I will have to pay huge casualties.
Yuan Shang was afraid of the enemy first, and when he saw Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao being fierce, he was even more frightened, and hugged his fists at Yuan Shao and said, "Father Rongyu." There are two fierce generals in Lu Bu's army, which are very powerful. I am afraid that the soldiers of our army will not be able to intercept them, so I ask my father to take shelter for a while. ”
When Yuan Shang retreated just now, Yuan Shao was still very angry, but now when he sees Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao, they are really brave and incomparable, and most of his anger has disappeared. But it was impossible to tell him to retreat.
Yuan Shao said: "Success or failure in this battle, how can you retreat?" Summoned Yan Liang and Wen Chou, leave Li Yuanba alone. Capture Lu Bu with all your might. ”
"No."
Although Yuan Shang was worried, he still sent someone to give the order.
In the evening.
Li Cunxiao's Flying Tiger Army was all killed.
Li Cunxiao, Li Yuanba, and Lu Bu were trapped in the formation and constantly besieged by the enemy. From time to time, bows and arrows, spears, knives and axes took turns to fight, but because of the bravery of the three people, they could not succeed.
Xu Chu's Tiger Guards were still blocked from the formation and could not advance.
Xu Chu was also very anxious, afraid that Lu Bu would make a mistake, and it would be difficult to explain to Lu Bu's subordinates. Therefore, he desperately met the enemy and contained a large number of troops of Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
"Mr. Yuanzhi and Mr. Berwyn, the current battle situation is stalemate, it depends on who can hold out to the end. Yuan Shao's army has all been dispatched, and it is not yet able to win, if our army sends another army of soldiers and horses to gallop to the frontal battlefield, it will be able to suppress the enemy. Thus achieving victory on the entire battlefield. Cao Cao said.
Xu Shu and Liu Bowen, carefully observing the battle situation, also agreed with Cao Cao's statement.
The current situation, like a tug-of-war between two wrestlers, has exhausted its last strength, and if anyone can get a little external force, even if it is only a little, it will be enough to tilt the scales of war.
After Xu Shu and Liu Bowen discussed, he ordered the four thousand dragon guards behind him to cover the past from the front and rush to the aid of Mu Guiying.
Mu Guiying's Danyang soldiers, who had to face both the light cavalry with open jaws and Yuan Xi on the flank, were in a very bad situation. When the Four Thousand Dragon Guards pressed over, they broke the balance that had always been there.
Yuan Xi was defeated and made a detour to the northwest.
The Long Wei Army and the Danyang soldiers took advantage of the situation to move forward and support Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan's tiger and leopard cavalry, and Long Xiang battalion. These two armies were besieged by tens of thousands of chariots and suffered heavy casualties.
If Mu Guiying hadn't arrived in time, he would have been eaten by the enemy.
"General Mu, thank you for your help!" Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan were very moved.
"Needless to say, kill Yuan Shao first." Mu Guiying said.
"Okay, everything is up to General Mu's arrangement." Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan didn't care about gender, even Lu Bu's generals were respectful to Mu Guiying, so why should they care.
In an instant, the situation on the frontal battlefield underwent earth-shaking changes.
The Dragon Guard, the Danyang Soldiers, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and the Longxiang Battalion, the four elite divisions, formed a powerful force, swept the enemy in the northwest battlefield, and advanced towards Yuan Shao's Daxu.
Xiang Yu's broken military camp is still entangled with Zhangjaw's light cavalry...
But it doesn't matter anymore. Because the troops of Mu Guiying, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahoudun had already won victory in the northwest battlefield, breaking through the defense of Yuan's army one after another, and they were about to rush out of the battlefield and take Yuan Shao directly.
And the situation there is not good. All his armies were pinned down by Lu Bu, Li Yuanba, Li Cunxiao, and the Tiger Guards, and they couldn't get out at all. If Mu Guiying's troops can rush to the front, they will definitely be able to make meritorious contributions.
