Chapter 42 Victory in the First Battle Encircled Khotan, Broken in Khotan, Saw the Captain's Late Battle
So in the next few days, Wei Chizhan continued to exclude a large number of scouts to the west and east, and at first explored a hundred miles, but found no reinforcements; Then he surveyed two hundred miles, and there were no reinforcements; …… In the end, after exploring 400 miles into the territory of Humi Country and 200 miles into the territory of Humi, there were still no reinforcements, so Wei Chizhan gradually believed in the judgment of the prime minister, believed that Liu Bei was currently bluffing, and definitely wanted to transfer troops from the rear to come and resist a lot.
So Wei Chizhan had full confidence to fight with Liu Bei's 6,000 army.
After informing Captain Chi Ming of the information of his scouts, Wei Chi Zhan began to actively prepare for war, and in order to support Wei Chi Zhan, the king of Khotan, Captain Chi Ming also handed over his 1,000 personal guards to Wei Chi Zhan's command.
This time against Liu Bei's army, because Liu Bei's army was all cavalry, so Wei Chizhan was also preparing to take all the cavalry in Xicheng out to fight Liu Bei when preparing for the war.
……………………………………………………
Liu Bei has been to the outer block of Xicheng for ten days, although he is in a hurry, but Liu Bei is not in a hurry to lead his troops to attack, and when the scouts tell who is the captain Chi Zhan every day to discharge a large number of scouts to bypass the camp tent to the rear, Liu Bei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking: "It seems that Jia Xu's plan has succeeded." ”
But when the scouts found out that Wei Chizhan's scouts were getting farther and farther away, Liu Beiyou began to be anxious, for fear that Wei Chizhan would detect Jia Xu's camp in the rear, but at this time it was too late to send a messenger to inform Jia Xu!
Two days later, when Wei Chi Zhan withdrew all the scouts during the day, Liu Bei understood that either he would return in vain, or he would go out of the city to fight with him tonight or early tomorrow morning at the latest! So Liu Bei hurriedly ordered the generals to be ready to meet the war at any time!
……………………………………………………
Finally, it was found that there were no ambushes, and Wei Chi Zhan mobilized 15,000 cavalry in the capital, and with three to one, Wei Chi Zhan had reason to believe that he would win this battle!
Moreover, Wei Chizhan also planned to attack overnight and attack Liu Bei's camp at night, so that Liu Bei's army would not be able to leave the camp and not be able to get on the horse, and it would not be able to become a cavalry. Attacking six thousand infantry with fifteen thousand cavalry in this way is crushing. And Wei Chizhan doesn't plan to let anyone go!
On the night of the withdrawal of the scouts, Wei Chizhan led 15,000 cavalry to quietly set off from the West Gate, and lurked to the north of Liu Bei's camp without making any sound along the way, striving to give Liu Bei's camp a fatal blow!
…………………………………………………………
Just after Wei Chi Zhan's army left the city, two people came out of the water and grass in the moat outside the city, and the two of them rushed into a woods and found two batches of war horses, and stepped on the war horses, and the two of them galloped away from the south and the north!
But it was Jia Xu who arranged a scout near Xicheng, and at this time, the scout found that Wei Chizhan's army was out of the city, so he quickly went to report to Jia Xu and Xu Huang!
…………………………………………………………
When there were still nearly five miles away from Liu Bei's camp, Wei Chizhan commanded the army to start charging. Let the cavalry have a strong impact inertia when they arrive at Liu Bei's camp, so as to disperse Liu Bei's army in one fell swoop!
And contrary to Wei Chi Zhan's expectations, Wei Chi Zhan's army directly penetrated Liu Bei's camp but did not encounter a single soldier. Wei Chizhan secretly sighed a pity, but he didn't expect that Liu Bei still knew a lot about strategy, so he let him say that he had escaped. I want to lead my troops back to the city!
At this time, Jia Xu and Xu Huang had already received information from the scouts, and then Jia Xu quickly pulled out the camp and rushed to the battlefield.
Just as Wei Chizhan wanted to withdraw his troops and return to the city, the scout said to Wei Chizhan and came forward.
"Report, twenty miles to the east, I found the army of the Western Regions Protectorate. Retreating to the east! ”
As soon as he heard the scout's report, Wei Chizhan immediately became interested, and he was anxious that the generals were ready to raid Liu Bei!
………………………………………………………
In fact, at the same time that Wei Chi Zhan withdrew all the scouts, Liu Bei notified the generals to pay attention to protection, and at night, Liu Bei quietly retreated with the whole army, resting twenty miles away from his own camp, and then arranged a large number of scouts to observe Xicheng and his own camp before.
When Liu Bei marched about eight miles like Wei Chi Zhan's army, Wei Chi Zhan began to pull out the camp and kill Liu Bei's army!
Wei Chi Zhan's army rushed all the way forward, because the scout's battle report was that Liu Bei's army was retreating twenty miles away, so Wei Chi Zhan did not doubt that he had him, and desperately urged the army to move forward at a high speed, and the entire army lasted less than four miles!
After only half an hour of marching, two powerful cavalry suddenly came out from all sides of the army, like two arrows, and entered the army of Wei Chi Zhan, cutting the army of four miles in front and back directly into three parts, and after killing the entire army from the side, he immediately turned his horse's head and charged again.
Because the army appeared too suddenly, when Liu Bei's army rushed into the army of Wei Chi Zhan, the entire army of Wei Chi Zhan fell into chaos, the cavalry in front was still struggling to advance, and the army behind immediately stopped, but the back did not have time to collide with the front, and it did suffer a lot of damage, and the middle was surrounded and chaotic. was killed four times by Liu Bei and Lu Bu led the army back and forth, and Wei Chi Zhan was able to stabilize the army, while Liu Bei stabilized the army again on one side and was ready to attack again!
The two sides each put their armies away, Wei Chi Zhan let the army be counted, just the few times just now from the side, so that Wei Chi Zhan's army suffered a full 3,000 casualties, and Liu Bei's army lost almost nothing!
…………………………………………………………
There were no extra words on either side, and after both sides had lined up in phalanx, both cavalry armies began to start, run, and charge.
Wei Chizhan was forced to increase his troops, so he set up a crescent moon array to try to block Liu Bei's attack. Kill Liu Bei inside!
And Liu Bei put out a sharp arrow array with Lu Bu, Liu Bei, and Liao Hua as the tips of arrows, in an attempt to kill Wei Chi Zhan's army!
The two sides got closer and closer, closer and closer, and in the end, Liu Bei's army was like a sharp arrow ingested into the middle of the crescent moon array. At the front of the big array, Lu Bu held the Fang Tian painting halberd like a killing god, and people blocked the killing Buddha and killed the Buddha; Liu Bei and Liao Hua continued to kill on both sides. After the entire Blade Arrow Formation entered the Wei Chi Zhan army, there was no intention of being blocked at all, and it was faster and faster to overtake the front and kill it!
Finally, after a stick of incense, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, and Liao Hua led the 6,000-strong army of generals Wei Chi Zhan's army to kill a thorough, and turned the horse's head three miles away to regain their footing.
After standing still, Liu Bei counted the number of people and found that more than 1,200 people were killed in this battle, although it is not clear how many casualties were killed and wounded on Wei Chizhan's side, but Liu Bei believed that it would only be more than his own side, not less!
"Lord, are you injured?" At this time, Liao Hua just found that Liu Bei's arm was slowly oozing blood, so he asked with concern!
"Small injuries, out of the way!" After a rush to kill, Liu Bei was actually slightly injured, not because Liu Bei was not good at martial arts, but because Liu Bei took a lot of pressure on Liao Hua when he rushed to kill!
After speaking, Liu Bei didn't say anything more, his eyes looked at Wei Chi Zhan's army, Wei Chi Zhan's army was not chaotic after being penetrated, and after running for three or four miles, he turned the horse's head and aimed at Liu Bei again!
At this time, the soldiers who counted the battle losses came to report: "General, our army has suffered more than 3,000 casualties this time. ”
Hearing this, Wei Chizhan was bleeding in his heart. Fifteen or six thousand soldiers were brought out by the evening expedition, but in the middle of the night, a third of them had already been lost. I also thought in my heart, at this time, the night was already late, and the soldiers were tired, whether they could make an appointment with Liu Bei to fight again tomorrow.
Do it when you think of it, Wei Chizhan sent soldiers to Liu Bei's military camp!
………………………………………………………
Liu Bei was quite surprised when he saw that only one of the soldiers in Wei Chi's army was walking towards his camp, but he did not order an attack!
"I've seen the protection of the capital of the Western Regions, and a certain general asked me to ask about the protection of the capital, and it is already deep, you and I will strike and clean up the battlefield, and when tomorrow is dawn, you and I will fight again!" As soon as the soldier arrived in front of Liu Bei's formation, he just arched his hand, and then said!
Liu Bei was originally worried that Jia Xu's army was quite far away, and it was estimated that it might take one night to arrive, so if he could rest all night, it was estimated that he would be able to join forces with Jia Xu's army tomorrow!
So I agreed!
