Chapter 174: Stalemate
Last time, it was said that Zhao Ergou commanded the Yellow Turban Army to launch a charge.
Guan Yu saw the Yellow Turban Army charging behind Zhao Ergou, exposing the main general Zhao Ergou and his own army to the rear of the formation, and hurriedly beckoned Liu Bei's family members to follow him, and went to capture the thief and capture the king first, intending to kill the arrogant Zhao Ergou first as planned.
Guan Yu led the Liu Mansion without saying a word, and quickly approached Zhao Ergou.
On the other hand, Zhang Fei led the Zhuang Ding to wait in front of the battle. This half a month's training has been somewhat effective, at least the formation of the Zhuang Ding has not been chaotic, although their spirits are highly nervous, holding the "weapon" in both hands, because of too much force, the knuckles are white.
But the last batch of recruits recruited by Liu Bei was very unbearable, and Liang Sheng found that some of those recruits had already begun to desert, constantly looking around, looking for opportunities to escape. If it weren't for Liu Bei leading the Liu family's disciples to line up at the back of the team, it is estimated that these deserted guys would have turned around and fled.
Because both sides were infantrymen, Zhang Fei felt that he was not flexible enough on the horse, so he did not ride his own horse, but patted the horse's buttocks with his hand and let the horse go away on its own.
Zhang Fei held a spear and shouted: "Rush with me!" After shouting, he led the Zhuang Ding and rushed to the Yellow Turban Army first.
Guan Yu was already very close to Zhao Ergou, no matter how light his footsteps were, he still passed to Zhao Ergou. It's just that Guan Yu approached Zhao Ergou, and Zhao Ergou's troops also engaged Zhang Fei's troops, and the sound of shouts and iron weapons colliding covered Guan Yu's footsteps, so Zhao Ergou and they still didn't notice that there was someone behind them.
As soon as Zhang Fei took Zhuang Dingpu into battle, the disadvantage of the weapon was reflected, and several farm tools in Zhuang Ding's hands were cut off by the enemy in a few clicks, and they immediately became staggered, and the phenomenon was full of problems. Coupled with the disadvantage in numbers, Zhang Feibu showed a precarious situation. If it weren't for Zhang Fei's bravery, the spear in his hand flew up and down, sweeping out a vacuum five steps in front of him, and no one in the enemy dared to approach Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei's bravery inspired everyone around him, and Zhang Fei's troops barely managed to stay abandoned. But if this continues, it is only a matter of time before Zhang Fei's troops are defeated and dispersed.
Liang Sheng immediately made a decision and suggested to Liang Xu that he should lead the Chinese army to press now and reduce the pressure on Zhang Fei's department.
The soldiers of the Chinese army had only run a dozen paces before something went wrong in the formation, and more than half of them broke away from the formation and fled to both sides. Liang Sheng and Liang San quickly caught up with the nearest deserter, slashed down the two with their swords, and shouted loudly to restrain the team. But there were only two of them, and there were sixty or seventy deserters, and they couldn't cut them down, and seeing that Liang Xu was about to engage the enemy, Liang Sheng and Liang San hurriedly returned to their horses to protect Liang Xu's flanks.

Those deserters were all soldiers who saw Zhang Fei's troops, and only a dozen people were cut to the ground by the other party for a while, and they were extremely frightened. They all came to join the army to eat, but if their lives are gone, will they still be able to eat? Even if the money has been received, it will not be spent. Besides, Liang Xu's troops did not have a supervising team, as long as they were far away from Liu Bei's troops in the rear, there was still a great chance of escaping.
Only a small part of the Chinese army knows what gratitude is, and with the belief of repaying the favor with their lives, they followed the little doll Liang Xu and rushed to the enemy indomitable.
Liang Xu also saw that there were large-scale deserters in his team, and he had nothing to do about it, so he could only curse in his heart for these guys who took people's money and didn't eliminate disasters for others, and he secretly made a decision that when he finished this battle, he would go back and settle accounts with these guys. It's just that he doesn't know if he will be able to go back alive.
Liang Xu took the blacksmith's words to heart when the blacksmith said that he had great strength last time. When Guan Yu was training, Liang Xu found a few half-old children to learn, and his strength was really stronger than ordinary people, and even caught up with adults, but of course the object of comparison would not be Liu Bei and them, but those malnourished adults from poor families.
It's one thing to know that he is strong, Liang Xu is still very afraid of death after all, so the weapon he chose for himself is a throwing gun, and he doesn't have to fight with a long-range strike. These throwing guns are not specially built, because the time is urgent, it is too late to customize, anyway, the rod-shaped objects that can be used as throwing guns will be collected by Liang Xu and thrown at the enemy, as well as kitchen knives and firewood knives, which will also be used by Liang Xu as flying axes. But because Liang Xu hasn't practiced much, his accuracy is not very good, and in order to avoid throwing it to his own people, he can only throw it into the sky as much as possible, so that his hidden weapon can fly farther. Therefore, he cannot be expected to hunt down the opponent's squad commander in the chaos to create chaos for the enemy army.
In the opposing formation, there was a squad commander who was almost injured by a hidden weapon that flew from nowhere, and he looked around and found that there were children on the battlefield. This kind of weak target was immediately defined as a super soft persimmon by the young general, and immediately beckoned his subordinates to follow him, intending to kill and pinch this funny persimmon to explode.
Liang Xu had already thrown five or six hidden weapons, and his arm was a little sore. When he found that an enemy army was killing in his direction, he quickly cheered up and threw a hidden weapon at the enemy army. It's just that no matter how powerful a child is, he is still a child, Liang Xu threw three more hidden weapons, and felt that his arm was no longer his own.
At this time, Liu Bei also found that most of Liang Xu's Chinese army had fled, and Zhang Fei's troops were also divided and surrounded. Although Liu Bei was injured, he didn't have time to deal with it, so he could only hold on and lead the Liu family to replenish it, intending to reverse the decline.
Guan Yu's side has also killed the back of Zhao Ergou's pro-army. Guan Yu no longer hid his breath, and shouted and raised his knife to the nearest enemy.
The squad commander who took Liang Xu as his prey led his squad to Liang Xu's carriage, besieging Liang Sheng and Liang San, and it was difficult to take Liang Xu for a while. However, he relied on the large number of people on his side, and kept pressing Liang Sheng and Liang Sandao, and besides, the little doll seemed to have no strength to resist, and seeing that his side would soon be able to pick the fruit of this victory, the team commander was extremely excited.
Liang Xu has Liu Bei's new force joining here, and the situation has improved. The morale of Liu's children is higher than that of the Chinese army, after all, he saw Liu Bei kill the enemy general with his own eyes, and he also saw Zhao Feng scare away the opponent's Zhao Yamen. They don't know what the tooth gate is, but it seems to be very advanced. That's why they were greatly encouraged, and they didn't fear, although they also held farm tools and daily necessities, but they beat up the enemy.
