Chapter 980: One Step Away
Su Zhe created a miracle for Xu Huang.
With great spirits, he actually burst out with martial arts that far exceeded his own strength, and the battle axe danced like the wind, like a thunderbolt, and he actually suppressed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei back.
The two brothers were shocked and puzzled for a while, and they didn't know what to do.
The soldiers of the Han army, who were fighting, thought that a victory was just around the corner, but they never expected that the reinforcements of the Wei army would cross the river at a critical moment to kill, and they were immediately panicked.
The soldiers of the Wei army, who fought hard, were greatly encouraged by their spirit and fighting spirit, and their combat effectiveness exploded, and they launched a brave counterattack before the reinforcements arrived.
The momentum of victory and defeat on the battlefield was reversed in an instant.
At the head of the city, Liu Bei's mouth was already open, and all the smug hopes were shattered, leaving only despair and consternation.
"How did the Su thief cross the river? How is this possible? Yang Fu was also shocked and inexplicable.
Zhuge Liang sighed: "Although the torrent here is still there, as soon as the torrent in the upper reaches passes, the water level will definitely drop, and the Su thief must have seized this flaw before sending light horses to cross the river from the upstream." ”
Everyone suddenly realized.
Bang!
Liu Bei's fist hit the battlements hard, hateful and anxious, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Zhuge Liang said silently: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, it seems that we really can't turn things around, take advantage of the Wei cavalry to kill, order the troops to return to the city, and some soldiers and horses can be saved." ”
Liu Bei shook his head and sighed helplessly, looked up to the sky and choked sadly: "God doesn't bless me Liu Bei, God doesn't bless me Liu Bei, Mingjin." ”
The order was handed down, and the soldiers who stayed behind hurriedly sounded the golden sound.
Bell bell bell ~~
The rapid sound of gold echoed over the head of Longle City.
The Han soldiers who were panicking instantly collapsed and collapsed, threw away their armor, and fled in the direction of Longle City without their lives.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two generals, were so angry that their faces were about to explode, but they were powerless to return to the sky, the two looked at each other, turned their horses and jumped out of the battle group and left.
"Guan Yu, you still don't realize it, do you still want to escape!"
Xu Huang, who turned defeat into victory, was so fierce that he dragged a tomahawk and chased Guan Zhang and the second general alone.
In the lives of the two brothers, how could they have been embarrassed today, so angry that they wanted to vomit blood, but they could only swallow this humiliating evil breath with hatred, and just buried their heads and fled all the way.
At this time, the cavalry corps led by Ma Chao also attacked like a storm.
The iron cavalry rolled and swept through, and the Han soldiers who had no time to flee in the future crashed to the ground in pieces, killing them with rivers of blood and ghosts crying wolves.
The two corps of infantry and cavalry converged, and the Wei army's morale was like a rainbow, chasing the defeated and fleeing Han army, and rolling towards Longle City.
At this time, the east gate of Longle had been opened, and thousands of Han soldiers poured into the city like panicked lambs.
After Liu Bei saw that Guan Zhang and the others had also entered the city, he immediately ordered the city gate to be closed and the suspension bridge to be lowered.
"Your Majesty, we still have half of our soldiers who have not entered the city, if the city gate is closed, they will not be killed by the Wei army!" Zhao Yun, who had just landed at the top of the city, reminded him anxiously.
Liu Bei looked helpless: "I don't want to save them, but you see that the Wei army is too close, if you don't close the city gate, the Wei army will rush all the way into Longle City, and then everything will be over." ”
Zhao Yun was dumbfounded, so he had to close his mouth.
The drawbridge was pulled up, the city gate was closed, and nearly 2,000 Han troops were defeated and isolated in front of the moat.
"Let us enter the city, the Wei army is going to catch up!"
"Liu Bei, you bastards, why did you leave us?"
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die~~"
These sacrificed Han soldiers were crowded in front of the moat, wailing and scolding in all directions, and they became a pot of porridge.
Then, the Wei army killed.
Kill the red-eyed Wei soldiers, only care about harvesting heads, and take revenge on the trap set by Han Guoshicai for us, no matter whether you surrender or not, you will be slaughtered.
Two thousand Han soldiers were killed in the blink of an eye, crying wolf, with countless casualties, and thick corpses were stacked in front of the moat.
Liu Bei frowned, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and shouted: "How can you let the Wei thief show off his might in front of me, bow and crossbowman, and release arrows to me!" ”
This holy will suddenly startled the soldiers on the left and right, and they looked at Liu Bei with surprised faces.
"Your Majesty, there are still our people outside the city." Zhao Yun reminded again.
Liu Bei said coldly: "They will be killed by the Wei army anyway, it is better to take advantage of the Wei army's proximity to kill and injure the enemy as much as possible!" ”
Zhao Yun had nothing to say.
Liu Bei saw that the soldiers didn't move, and shouted: "Are you all deaf, I told you to release arrows!" ”
Liu Bei drew his sword in his hand and glared angrily at the soldiers.
The crossbowmen were startled, did not dare to hesitate any longer, and bent their bows and arrows one after another, and shot wildly at the city.
Whoosh!
Arrows rained down, and countless soldiers of the two soldiers were immediately nailed to a pool of blood.
When the Wei army saw the Han army release its arrows, they retreated one after another, and soon evacuated the enemy's arrow coverage.
The Han soldiers outside the city had nowhere to escape, so they could only die one by one under their own arrows, and there was no one left.
Finally, the Wei army was far away, the arrows went out, and the heavens and the earth returned to calm.
The field in front of the city gate was full of corpses, numbering three or four thousand, most of whom were the corpses of Han soldiers.
There were also many survivors of the Han soldiers who were not shot, seriously wounded, lying in the pile of corpses and wailing in pain.
The Han soldiers at the head of the city, looking at the tragic scene of their comrades, were all sad, shaking their heads and sighing, and their morale had quietly fallen to the bottom.
Liu Bei's face was as gloomy as iron, looking at the corpses of his own soldiers in front of the city, looking at the dust shadow of the Wei army in the distance, and gritting his old teeth to pieces.
After a while, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave, leaving only a helpless sigh behind him.
The east bank of the party's water.
The flood peak has receded, the water level of the party water has also returned to the normal base of Qi's thighs, and more than 10,000 Wei troops on foot began to wade across the river again.
Before dark, the two Wei armies on both sides of the strait reunited on the west bank of the party.
The Wei army experienced this unexpected twist and turn, and the loss of soldiers and horses was also about 4,000, and the casualties were already "heavy".
Fortunately, Su Zhe saw through Liu Bei's treacherous plan in time and saved Xu Huang's army crossing the river, and the total number of troops was still about 25,000, occupying an absolute advantage.
Liu Bei in Longle City, this battle was defeated, but he lost more than half of the soldiers and horses, and the number of remaining soldiers and horses was less than 4,000, and he was only one step away from the loss of the last soldier.
Su Zhe expected that Liu Bei was at the end of his rope and could no longer toss any tricks, so the army calmly went down to the village outside Longle City, preparing to complete the siege of the city, and gather Liu Bei and his last strength in this westernmost city in the world.
At this time, Liu Bei was indeed at the point of "the end of the road", and Su Zhe's battle to destroy Liu was only one step away from success.
