Chapter 167: The Battle of Lantian (3)
However, none of Pei Qing and the soldiers under his command had the slightest worry, not even psychological fluctuations, and the 200,000 enemy troops were no different from the 200,000 ants in their eyes.
"Why didn't the soldiers under Pei Qing's command have the slightest worry? Could it be that they trust Pei Qing so much? Seeing the reaction of the soldiers under Pei Qing's command, Liu Bei's heart was very surprised, he really admired it, why were these people so calm?
In fact, among the soldiers under Pei Qing's command, not all of them were really calm? After all, the enemy's strength is too much, and Pei Qing also has some soldiers who have just been recruited, at the same time, in order to train the troops, Pei Qing specially selected some recruits to go with him, and some of them are the Xiliang Army that has just surrendered, these people's confidence is actually not very sufficient, but now Pei Qing can first share Yin Zhongkan's reputation in the army, so that the army's heart is not easy to shake, and at the same time, there is Xie An, that is, Xie Juzhen is in charge, because Xie Juzhen's characteristics are calm and will not reduce morale. That's why the soldiers became so calm and composed.
Liu Bei naturally didn't know about these, but now Liu Bei has a deeper understanding of Pei Qing, and secretly made up his mind that unless his own strength is enough, he must not offend this person, otherwise he may die a miserable death in the future.
"Since Pei Qing is not afraid, then what am I afraid of? There is Zhou Cang in my right-wing army who makes the Xiliang army frightened, and there are two brothers and three brothers, they are all first-class generals in the world, under their leadership, my right-wing army will definitely not fall behind, this battle I will definitely learn the lesson of the last time, lead the soldiers under my command to fight bravely to kill the enemy, no longer hesitate, must seize the great merit, if this battle can be won, it is estimated that it is the largest and most important battle to attack the Xiliang army, and if you want to grab the credit, this time is the most important, I can not lose this precious opportunity. ”
On the one hand, Liu Bei was infected by the calm emotions of the soldiers under Pei Qing's command, and on the other hand, he also knew that this was a very important opportunity for him to earn military merits, and he must not give up, so he was also out of the way, and he could not give up the great opportunity to earn military merits no matter what.
And at this moment, I saw a fast horse rushing from the direction of Wuguan, came to Liu Bei, gasped and said: "Envoy, the big thing is not good, Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao took advantage of the opportunity of the envoy to lead the army to conquer the Xiliang army, and sent his eldest son Yuan Tan to attack the plain country, and now the plain has been lost, and General Zhao is protecting the envoy's family to Wuguan." ”
"What?" Hearing the words of the envoy, Liu Bei and Pei Qing were shocked at the same time, Liu Bei was because the foundation on which he relied for survival was destroyed by Yuan Shao, and Pei Qing was because he didn't expect Zhao Yun to follow Liu Bei at this time.
Not long after, Pei Qing finally understood when he was reading the history that Zhao Yun had indeed followed Liu Bei at this time, but at this time, Zhao Yun was transferred by Gongsun Chan to help Liu Bei, but because of Liu Bei's deep acceptance, Zhao Yun had secretly taken refuge in Liu Bei, but later because of the death of Zhao Yun's brother, he left Liu Bei and returned to his hometown, and never went to see Gongsun Chan again until seven or eight years later.
Pei Qing estimated that his brother's death was just an excuse for Zhao Yun, the main reason was that Zhao Yun had seen through Gongsun Chan and felt that Gongsun Chan was not the master.
Now God has given Zhao Yun a chance, because the Plains Kingdom was captured, Zhao Yun, who stayed in the Plains, escorted Liu Bei's family to Wuguan, and finally found a high-sounding excuse to leave Gongsun Zhan.
And after Liu Bei heard the news, he was even more determined to snatch the merits in this battle, because he had no other way now, if he couldn't make meritorious contributions in this battle, he wouldn't even have a place to stand.
Therefore, Liu Bei then found Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, told them the news that the plain had been lost, and told them to kill more enemies and make meritorious contributions, because they had no way to retreat.
When Zhang Fei heard this, he was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and immediately suggested that Liu Bei lead the army back to the plain and recapture the plain, but neither Liu Bei nor Guan Yu agreed, in their opinion, provoking Yuan Shao with their weak troops was tantamount to self-destruction.
Zhang Fei stopped talking after listening to Liu Bei's explanation, and he also knew that his words were unrealistic, so he said to Liu Bei: "Brother, rest assured, this battle will definitely kill several enemy generals, make a great contribution, and lay the foundation for our rise." ”
So Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rubbed their hands, waiting for the day of the big war, they must behave well and kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, because the more merit they have, the greater the official Liu Bei will be, and the more hope there will be for him to rise.
Three days of time is fleeting, it seems that it is the day of the decisive battle, Pei Qingtong led the army to the established battlefield early, at this time found that the Xiliang army arrived almost at the same time, the military appearance was already very strict, it seems that they have also absorbed the lessons of the last time, and strengthened military discipline.
However, Pei Qing was not worried at all, because he believed that after this battle, his side would definitely win without suspense.
After the two sides set up their positions, they saw flags covering the sun, swords and guns like forests, war horses like clouds, and more than 200,000 people on both sides were heavily fortified, and the scale of the battle of this scale was simply larger than the scale of the Battle of Guandu that occurred in later history, and it can be said that it was the largest battle in recent decades except for the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
In front of the two armies, Li Dao rode a war horse and shouted loudly under the protection of the guards: "Pei Qing, the last time you didn't follow the rules, taking advantage of our army's unstable foothold, and directly launched an attack, it is really hateful, it seems that you, a person who is not trustworthy, even dare to lead the heroes of the Quartet to fight on this battlefield?" If I were you, I would just find a crack in the ground and get in, where would I be embarrassed to be here? ”
Pei Qing laughed when he heard this: "Li Dao old horseman, I have seen many shameless people in the world, but I have never seen a person as brazen as you, it was clear that your army saw my righteous army without a fight, but you put the responsibility on my head, if you want to be accountable, your command is the most important responsibility, if it is me, the sergeant under my command will collapse without a fight, and I will be defeated, I would have wiped my neck and committed suicide, how could I rap here?" ”
Li Wei snorted heavily when he heard this, he knew that he couldn't fight Pei Qing at all, and immediately shouted loudly: "Don't talk useless nonsense, our two sides are in formation, we are here to duel, not to see you and me bickering, if we have the ability, we will decide the victory on the battlefield, there is no need to take advantage of your tongue, after I capture you in a while, see if your mouth is still so sharp?" ”
"Haha, I agree very much with what you said, but if I capture you alive, I will definitely not spare your life, I will tie you to Wang Situ's tomb and behead you to comfort my Han loyal soul!"
"Hmph, you have to have such a skill!" Li Dao no longer paid attention to Pei Qing, and then gave the order to attack Pei Qing's camp.
"Kill!" In an instant, only the sound of shouting and killing was heard earth-shattering, Li Dao personally led his nearly 100,000 Chinese army team to kill Pei Qing's Chinese army, while Ma Teng Han, who was divided into left and right wings, was eager to try, ready to lead the army to complete the final harvest after Pei Qing's defeat, and win this unprecedented scale of the war.
