Chapter 81: Forcing the Enemy to Surrender

A voice suddenly came from the silent forest: "Don't listen to them, they are delaying time, just now when we entered the forest, we took a closer look, at least there are no enemy troops in the north, there is no fire, we can rush out together, the river bank is on the edge of the forest, as long as we rush out of the forest, we can leave by boat, but if we hesitate here, we will miss the opportunity to break through, and in the end there is only a dead end!" If you don't want to die, rush with me......"

Liu Zhang looked at Xun Yu and the others, and saw that they also nodded secretly, knowing that they also had some admiration for the person who spoke, the situation was so critical, he was not flustered at all, but saw the loopholes arranged by our enemy army, and saw that Liu Zhang was delaying time, so as to arrange things for Xu Chu to ignite fire, burn the ship, and block the enemy.

When the panicked enemy heard what the man said, many people immediately began to join in, and the man said, "Rush...... Rush out to survive......"

"Chong, ......" The forest immediately followed.

"Kill, ......" Not far away, a deafening shout of killing also sounded outside the Allied Dazhai, and under the personal command of Lu Bu, more than 50,000 soldiers touched the edge of the trench. Hearing the shouts of killing in the Allied camp, Lu Bu thought that the soldiers he sent had succeeded, and immediately commanded the troops to start the assault under great joy.

The chaotic Allied forces gradually calmed down under the command of their respective generals, and the arrows that had just been sparsely pulled soon rained down on the enemy.

The trench in front of the Allied Dazhai is one zhang wide and deep, stretching on three sides: east, west and south, and there is no opportunity to take advantage of it from the land. Lu Bu already knew, so he sent a road of soldiers and horses to attack from the river, in order to collect the effect of surprise soldiers, and ordered the frontal attacking troops to bring a large number of ladders and planks, and the moat soon became a thoroughfare. However, after rushing through the trench, there were three sharp deer bars at three feet apart, and if you wanted to cross over, there was no other way but to destroy them one by one with shields and the enemy's arrows......

On the other side, most of the enemy forces trapped in the woods began to retreat, trying to protrude from the north and flee by boat.

But no sooner had they rushed to the edge of the forest than they saw a scene of despair—all the ships they were on had burst into fireballs!

In desperation, dozens of people who couldn't see the situation clearly rushed out, and half of them were lost when the arrows rained down, Xu Chu shouted, picked up his knife and led the soldiers to rush up, chopping melons and vegetables, and wiped them out in an instant!

At this time, the voice of persuasion sounded in the south without losing the opportunity.

The enemy army, who knew that his way of life was cut off, had no fighting spirit, and there was still more than half of the incense for the time, so he threw down his weapons and walked out of the forest in twos and threes......

Liu Zhang designated an open space for all the soldiers who surrendered to rest, and sent hundreds of soldiers to monitor it in case they caused chaos.

As time became scarce, more and more soldiers came out, and in a short time, the open space was overcrowded. Liu Zhang estimated that there were more than 8,000 people, and this result made him happy!

The incense was quickly burned out, and from time to time the hesitant enemy soldiers threw down their weapons and walked out.

"Qingwei, take these people down, settle them well, and prepare some food for the brothers, everyone is tired after a busy night's work. also prepare a copy for the surrendered army, as long as they don't cause trouble, they are not allowed to be punished! ”

"Yes!" Dian Wei hugged his fists.

"Anyone else? If you don't want to die, come out quickly, I'm going to order the forest to be burned! Liu Zhang shouted.

Liu Zhang's threat was quite useful, and immediately hundreds of enemy soldiers hurriedly threw away their soldiers and ran out. However, he did not order the burning of the forest in the end, he believed that there should still be enemy troops in the forest, although the burning of the forest could be completely solved, but how many years would it take for such a large forest to take shape? It's a pity to burn it, so I ordered to continue to besiege the woods, and wait for dawn to enter the forest to clear it!

Liu Zhang's side can be said to be light and light, but Dazhai is like hell on earth......

The two armies fell into a hand-to-hand battle like wheat harvesting wheat and blood flowing, and the blood pooled into a stream on the ground, rushing low.

"Hansheng, Qingwei, there is nothing to do here, you bring three thousand soldiers to help Wen Chang!" Liu Zhang said.

Huang Zhong and Dian Wei, who had not worked hard all night, finally got the battle, and they were overjoyed, and immediately ordered 3,000 soldiers to kill on the battlefield.

Lu Bu had few soldiers, and Liu Zhang's garrison quickly quieted down, he understood that the strange army had failed, but he was unwilling to fail, and he continued to attack with his troops, hoping to break through the defense line and defeat the coalition army with the bravery of the Xiliang army and the Bingzhou army. And in the face of the desperate defense of the Allies, his attack received only heavy casualties on both sides.

Finally, a lieutenant general had the courage to persuade: "Wen Hou, withdraw, Hou Cheng has already failed, if you continue to fight, the brothers will die!" ”

Lu Bu painted a halberd to kill an allied commander, and said unwillingly: "No, I will set foot on this village tonight......"

The deputy will continue to persuade: "Wen Hou, the brothers can't hold on anymore, the advantage of our army lies in tens of thousands of iron cavalry, but the cavalry can't participate in the night battle, so it's better to retreat first, and then attack after dawn!" ”

Lu Bu waved his halberd, gritted his teeth, and shouted, "Withdraw...... Retreat ......"

The adjutant general immediately followed and shouted: "Wen Hou has an order, the whole army retreats......"

Lü Bu's army received the order, broke away from the battle, and began to retreat.

An allied soldier was young and vigorous, and when he saw the enemy retreating, he immediately rushed to Lü Bu with dozens of soldiers, as if he was going to capture him alive.

Lu Bu laughed loudly: "You wait for the rats, and you dare to bully me?" After that, the dancing halberd cut off the head of the Duber, and the halberd kept drawing, swinging, sweeping, chopping, and stabbing, and in a blink of an eye, he cut down dozens of Allied soldiers who were chasing him to the ground, and then laughed, turned around and retreated, and boldly handed over his back to the Allied troops.

The allies saw the power of Lu Bu, and their faces were as white as earth, and no one dared to open their bows and arrows, so they watched Lu Bu swagger behind the army and left.

Soon after Lu Bu retreated, Liu Dai sent someone to invite Liu Zhang to discuss the matter.

On this night, the princes suffered heavy losses, and only Liu Zhangsheng captured thousands of enemy troops, which can be described as a great victory, and this became the reason why he was attacked by others. Especially Yuan Shao, he almost jumped to his feet and scolded him for his treachery and disregard for the friendship of the alliance.

Liu Zhang smiled secretly, fortunately, he sent someone to "inform" Liu Dai, otherwise there would be Yuan Shao's accusation of jumping up and down, and he would not really become the public enemy of everyone? When he "explained" the matter, the pressure was transferred to Liu Dai. In his words, the situation was urgent at that time, in order to prevent the enemy from coming to the center to blossom and cooperate with the outside, he had to immediately arrange the defense, and he could not get out, but thinking of the righteousness of his comrades, he immediately sent a competent person to the alliance commander to report the situation, because the matter was so important, he did not dare to be self-sufficient, and he had to ask the alliance leader to be the master, so he did not inform the other princes, but hoped that the alliance leader would convey it. As for why the information was not delivered to the princes in time, he said that he did not know.

Liu Dai also thought that Liu Zhang really respected himself, and in order to show respect for his authority, he informed himself of the news, although he felt that this move was a little inappropriate, but he also felt that this nephew was also clear about the respect and inferiority of the elders and the young, and he couldn't blame him. As a result, he took responsibility for everything, saying that he had misemployed people, caused a major mistake, and harmed everyone, and his posture was very low, not only admitting his mistakes, but also apologizing to everyone in public.

No matter what, Liu Dai is still the leader of the alliance, and the allies are in danger of losing again, if Neijiang intensifies, it will definitely make the already unstable military spirit even more chaotic, and in the end, it will only cheapen Dong Zhuo. Even Yuan Shao, who wanted to see Liu Dai make a fool of himself, knew this very well, and he didn't want the alliance to fail, making himself disgraced and discredited, so he couldn't embarrass Liu Dai too much at this time. Therefore, when Yuan Shao stated that it was all a villain's mistake and had nothing to do with Gongshan, the princes exonerated Liu Dai one after another. Liu Dai also got off the donkey and killed the personal soldiers who made the mistake (sure enough, as Liu Zhang expected, this kid made things difficult for the people sent by Liu Zhang, until the shouts of killing sounded, he was still arguing, so he became the innocent scapegoat), and the matter was revealed.
