Chapter 374: Bloody Battle
Zhang Liao was already injured, and the halberd in his hand was really a little unable to dance, even if he had just been saved by Li Dian, it was also in danger, so he quickly took the opportunity to retreat and retreat into the crowd.
In this way, Li Dian became the most direct enemy in front of Zhou Tai and Tai Shici, and he suddenly sweated all over his body, which was a bit of a big game now.
Zhang Liao saw that Li Dian was in danger and wanted to come back to the rescue, but he knew that his strength was greatly damaged at this moment, and he couldn't play a point in his ability, so he could only save more and more dangers, so he had to hurriedly command the sergeants around him to come forward to help. However, in the master duel, how useful are these little minions, not to mention that the other party also has sergeants, and there are more of them. The fate of these sergeants who rushed forward was basically doomed, Zhang Liao was furious in his chest, but he couldn't vent, watching them being killed by the enemy one by one, his heart was like a knife.
To the north of the city, the Jiangdong Army, hidden in the night, has been waiting silently.
Zhou Yu's strategy was to use Zhou Tai's troops to ambush Zhang Liao and Li Dian's army without destroying it, so as to lure Hefei's Le Jin to lead the army out of the city to rescue, at this time, he could lead his army to surprise the empty city of Hefei from the north. Later, when he learned that Tai Shici was ordered by Sun Quan to come to help in the war, he was more sure of this plan, and it can be said that he was full of confidence and foolproof.
That's what he's going to do.
Time passed minute by minute, the bright moon sank in the west, the east gradually turned white, dawn was approaching, and the sky was about to dawn in the blink of an eye.
After waiting for most of the night, he never saw the defenders of Hefei fighting, and Zhou Yu's heart gradually swelled up with a little disappointment.
"Dudu, it's almost dawn, aren't we going to attack the city?" Xu Sheng, who was beside him, asked.
As soon as the sky dawns, their actions will be exposed to the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry, and if they want to take advantage of the weakness to attack Hefei, now is the last opportunity.
It's just that if you don't leave Hefei to defend the city, how can you break through this fortified city in a short time.
Zhou Yu's face showed a bit of regret, and he sighed lightly: "It seems that there are still people in the Cao army who understand, and I am afraid that my plan to divert the tiger from the mountain will fail!" ”
Xu Sheng's expression changed: "Then what should I do now, is this Hefei City still attacked?" ”
Zhou Yu shook his head, pulled out his horse and went back, waved his hand and said: "The whole army should withdraw back to the camp, and by the way, send someone to inform Zhou Youping and Taishi Ziyi, so that they don't have to continue to drag it out, and all the enemy troops surrounded by it will be annihilated." ”
As soon as they rode away, Zhou Tai's 5,000 Jiangdong Army and Tai Shici's 3,000 men and horses at the fork of the river immediately changed their original siege and entanglement tactics and began to use their true skills to launch the most fierce attack on Cao's army.
Under the rapid attack, the pressure on the remnants of Cao's army suddenly doubled.
Blood was splashing, the soldiers around him fell one after another, more than 2,000 people fought less and less, and when the sky was bright, there were less than 500 people left.
Li Dian was wounded, killed in front of Zhang Liao, gasped and shouted: "Wenyuan, it seems that Le Wenqian is not going to come to save us." I see that the enemy siege in the west is weak, so you can lead the cavalry to break through to the west, and I will lead the infantry army to contain the enemy. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Liao's heart was shocked, and he knew that Li Dian was planning to sacrifice himself and kill a way out for him.
In an instant, Zhang Liao's heart swelled with deep emotion, and the mustard between him and Li Dian was instantly relieved.
A sergeant blocked slightly, and Li Dian also quickly retreated, quickly advancing the crowd.
The two fought and retreated, seeing that there were fewer and fewer sergeants under them, and the two of them were heavy.
Zhang Liao danced and didn't move the halberd, so he asked his soldiers to find a ring-headed knife, which could be used with one hand, although the power was not as good as usual, but at this time it could only be so, otherwise he could only wait for someone to kill.
"Man Cheng will go first, and I will come to the palace." Zhang Liao slashed down an enemy pawn who rushed forward with a knife and shouted loudly.
Li Dian smiled bitterly: "Look at my current situation, can I still go?" ”
Zhang Liaohu's eyes swept away, but seeing that Li Dian was covered with several wounds, blood flowed everywhere, and the war horse under his crotch was also wounded by an arrow.
However, I, a man with a bloody surname, how can I leave my robe and escape alone.
Under the excitement of blood, Zhang Liao laughed miserably: "Man Cheng and I live and die together, and we will fight a bloody road together." ”
Li Dian's subordinates are all foot soldiers, even if they can tear a gap, but a pair of heavy legs filled with lead, how can they get rid of the morale of the Jiangdong people and horses.
Zhang Liao is different, his subordinates are all cavalry, although under the dead and wounded, there are only less than 100 cavalry left at this time, but after all, it is cavalry, as long as it can get out of the encirclement, it is equivalent to escaping from Ascension, and the Jiangdong soldiers will definitely not be able to catch up.
With such pros and cons, how can Zhang Liao not know, but knowing this, how can he bear to abandon Li Dian.
Li Dian smiled bitterly and persuaded: "The matter has come to this, this is the destiny of heaven." Wenyuan, if you hesitate again, you and I will be buried here, and the morale will be greatly damaged, how can Hefei be safe. For the sake of the overall situation, let's go, count me Li Dian begging you! ”
When the words fell, Li Dian let out a mournful roar, and Le Ma rushed away from the east, looking like he was going to break through from this, and a large number of enemy troops saw this, and immediately blocked them to the east.
Zhang Liao understood that Li Dian wanted to attract the attention of the enemy for him, and now, although he had all kinds of grief and indignation in his heart, he hesitated for a moment for the sake of the word "overall situation", and had to lead the crowd to kill in the opposite direction.
The two infantry and cavalry armies, which were originally besieged, fought together and resisted stubbornly, but now they are suddenly in chaos and divided into two, which can be described as a taboo in the art of war.
However, it was precisely because of this division of troops that the enemy's attention was distracted in a short period of time, but Zhang Liao's nearly cavalry tore a hole in the weak place of the western encirclement and took the road.
More than 100 cavalry, like a wounded lamb that escaped from the sky, drove the tired war horses, desperately rushed from the gap, and when Zhou Tai and Tai Shici reacted and waved their troops to block the gap, Zhang Liao and his cavalry had escaped for the most part. Tai Shici was in an emergency, and bent his bow and arrows, but he only shot a few ordinary cavalrymen, but Zhang Liao completely dodged.
Finding that Zhang Liao and others had escaped, Zhou Tai was furious, and shouted with a knife: "Kill the enemy, leave no one behind!" ”
The red horse silver knife, the male body smashed into the enemy group like a wheel, and wherever it passed, his limbs were shattered, and blood flew everywhere, like an indestructible meat grinder, crushing all the flesh and blood that stood in his way.
Li Dian was bent on buying time for Zhang Liao, putting his body out of the way, although there were several wounds in his body, he still fought hard, and was fighting with blood, when he heard the screams behind him, he hurriedly turned around, only to see a majestic enemy general unstoppable, although his soldiers resisted desperately, but still like paper paste, he was easily killed, and the wild dancing knife carried the hunting wind, and bombarded himself head.
