Chapter 112: A Bitter Battle

"General, Xiu Ming has successfully landed on the shore!" Yuan Shao and Cao Cao rushed up with a happy face and said to Huangfu Song.

"This strategy seems to be a bit redundant!" Huangfu Song stood on the beacon tower, looked at the fire burning on the other side, and shook his head with a wry smile, this Ye Zhao, no matter what his personality is, but he is really good at fighting.

"And when will I cross the river?" Yuan Shao asked.

"Immediately, order Sun Jian to cross the river, don't let Ye Zhao fight alone!" Huangfu Song took out the order flag, and as he spoke, he had already waved it.

"Woo woo ~ woo woo ~ woo woo ~" The melodious horn echoed again, and Sun Jian, who was already ready to go, heard the horn and quickly commanded the soldiers who were already ready to go across the river quickly.

"General, look." Cao Cao had been paying close attention to the battle in the downstream direction, and when he saw that a small group of Han troops did not garrison the riverbank and wait for the army, but fought alone in the Yellow Turban Army, his face changed.

Hearing this, Huangfu Song looked over, and when he saw that the men and horses were cut off from the rear army by the fire that was constantly burning in the rear, he frowned and said, "Ye Zhao shouldn't have made such a mistake, right?" ”

Zhao Hong's main force arrived and wiped out all 300 foot soldiers, which also made Ye Zhao, who could have taken advantage of the fire to burn the entire camp in Western Hubei Province, finally because of the appearance of this small group of soldiers and horses, Zhao Hong prepared in advance, cleaned up the hay around him, and failed to let the fire spread further.

Seeing this, Huangfu Song's complexion changed, and the complexions of Zhu Jun, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao also changed.

"General?" Yuan Shao looked at Huangfu Song worriedly, he was very worried that Huangfu Song would fall into the well at this time.

Looking at Ye Zhao's army on the opposite side that was about to be on a hard bar with Zhao Hong's army, Huangfu Song fell into silence, he really had this plan, but in the end, Huangfu Song let out a long breath, turned his head and said: "You two immediately lead the people and horses of the headquarters to cross the river, don't care about other directions, support Ye Zhao from the flank, and flank the main force of the Yellow Turban!" ”

"Whoa!" Yuan Shao and Cao Cao agreed, and immediately went down to each place to set out their troops.

On the other side of the river, Ye Zhao fell into an embarrassing situation at this time, and he didn't expect that the three Liu Bei brothers would be so pitted, not only did they kill the three hundred soldiers assigned to them, but now it seems that they had to face the crazy attack of Zhao Hong's main force without having to fight a tough battle.

Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei out of the embers of the flames in embarrassment, and the black and oppressive Yellow Turban army followed closely behind, and when he saw Ye Zhao's army, he hurriedly shouted: "General save me!" ”

"Smack~" When Liu Bei ran closer, Ye Zhao didn't want to think about it, and slapped Liu Bei in the face with his backhand, this slap was so powerful that it directly swelled half of Liu Bei's cheeks, and his body was staggered back by Ye Zhao's slap, and he almost fell to the ground.

"What are you doing!?" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were furious when they saw this, and they each picked up their weapons and wanted to fight with Ye Zhao.

"You want to rebel!?" Dian Wei and Guan Hai have been guarding Ye Zhao's side, and when they saw this, they glared at each other, and looked at the three brothers with unkind faces.

In the rear, Zhao Hong's army had already been killed, and Ye Zhao glared fiercely: "I'll settle accounts with you after the war!" ”

"Back to the water!" Ignoring the three of them anymore, Ye Zhao looked at the menacing Yellow Turban Army, and with a wave of his hand, the army began to quickly find a gentle slope along the river bank, more than 5,000 people, formed into five rows, the front row held swords and shields, lined up into a shield array, and then the spears were erected, and the cold spears were refracted with the cold edge under the imprint of the rising sun, and then behind, two rows of archers stood with bows bent.

Zhao Hong's main army swarmed like a gust of wind, and before he could gain a firm foothold, Ye Zhao's raised right arm suddenly waved down, and a row of arrows shot at the incoming enemy, only to hear the sound of sorrow and screams, and the Yellow Turban soldiers who had not yet gained a firm foothold were caught off guard, and many people fell directly to the ground with arrows.

The bows and arrows of the Han army did not stop, the first row of archers quickly squatted down to pick up the arrows, the second row of archers stepped forward, the sharp arrows were out, and the two rows of archers shot alternately in turn, although they could not form an arrow formation, but there was a degree between advance and retreat, for a while, although there were many Yellow Turban troops rushing up, they could not push forward any further, and were shot by Ye Zhao commanded archers, and in an instant, the two rows of archers had taken turns to shoot three rounds, and the front of the army formation was already full of corpses.

The three brothers of Liu Bei stood aside at the moment, looking at this scene in surprise, it was the first time they had seen such a neat and effective way of attacking, although the number of thieves was large, for a while, they couldn't help Ye Zhao for half a point, this was not the same thing as the battle formation they had experienced in the past.

Zhao Hong saw that he couldn't rush over in a hurry, and hurriedly commanded the soldiers to withdraw from the place of an arrow, and re-stabilized his position, and after a while, a row of yellow turban thieves holding swords and shields came out of the formation, and stood in front, and the rest of the people held knives and guns, or walked quickly with bows and arrows in their hands, and the Han archers shot again, but the damage caused was no longer able to cause too many casualties.

After shooting two more rounds, the archer's physical strength had already been exhausted, and seeing that he could no longer make contributions, Ye Zhao could only wave his hand to signal to stop shooting, and a famous archer quickly put away his bow and arrows and pulled out the short sword at his waist.

Looking at the Yellow Turban Army forced over by the black pressure, Ye Zhao sighed, perhaps due to the influence of his previous life, he has always avoided hand-to-hand combat when leading his troops, and the battle that was originally a big victory has now become a tough battle, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.

But now, there is no choice but to pin his hopes on Huangfu Song, hoping that he will not play tricks with him at this time.

The Yellow Turban Army had already come closer, Ye Zhao took a deep breath, threw away the order flag in his hand, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and roared sharply: "Enter!" ”

"Kill~"

Dian Wei and Guan Hai each raised their weapons and protected Ye Zhao's left and right, and the entire army began to move forward, and the shield soldiers in the front row had already collided together, and one by one the spears pierced into the gaps in the shields, and the blood slipped down the spear shafts, quickly turning the ground and.

"Steady!" Ye Zhao was in the middle of the formation, his eagle-like eyes were looking for the position of the enemy's main general in the crowd, the Yellow Turban Army in front of him was different from the past, and in the case of a huge disparity in strength, if he could kill the enemy's main general, he might be able to turn the tide of the battle.

It's just that the opponent's main general is standing in the rear, and it is difficult to get close at all under the siege on all sides at this moment.

"Kill~" Ye Zhao drew his sword, took Dian Wei and Guan Hai to kill in front of the crowd, the sword in his hand split out of the arc of light, and killed the approaching Yellow Turban Army, Dian Wei picked up the iron halberd with both hands, and hit the crowd like a tank.

The courage of the main general also drove the morale of the Han army to rise, and he stabilized his position under the siege of the Yellow Turban thieves.

Liu Bei was swollen with half of his face, a pair of double-strand sword dances were impermeable, he was at the edge of the formation, and the attack was not violent, plus Guan Yu and Zhang Fei protected each other, it was easy to deal with.

Just looking at the battle in front of him, although Ye Zhao's army held the camp, it had fallen behind in terms of numbers, and it was only struggling to resist at the moment, and if it went on like this, if there was no reinforcement support, it would only be a matter of time before it would be defeated, and even if it was won, this battle would be so miserable Liu Bei accounted for a large reason.

Looking at the precarious formation of the Han army, Liu Bei's heart moved, and he took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to retreat while fighting.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Guan Yu sensed that something was wrong and frowned and looked at Liu Bei.

"General Ye is already at a disadvantage, and if he continues like this, he will definitely lose, and we will not be able to reverse the overall situation if we stay, so it is better to go to the other side to ask for help, and ask General Huangfu to send troops quickly to relieve General Ye's difficulties." Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

"Then the Ye family's cub humiliated the eldest brother before, why should I care if he lives or dies?" When Zhang Fei heard this, he said dissatisfiedly: "According to me, I'll wait until I retreat first, as for Ye Zhao, why bother with him?" ”

Liu Bei was a little moved when he heard this, Ye Zhao's slap before was still painful in his cheeks, it was impossible to say that he didn't complain in his heart, but in the end Liu Bei still shook his head and said: "He treats me unkindly, but we can't be unjust, General Ye has taken us in after all, this kindness, we should repay it!" ”

Guan Yu nodded and said, "What my brother said is good, third brother, you protect your brother to report the news, and I will help General Ye!" ”

Liu Bei's face turned dark when he heard this, he wanted the three of them to go together, but at this moment, Guan Yu couldn't help but say, and he couldn't stop it in the direction of Ye Zhao with a knife, so he could only calm his face, took Zhang Fei to turn around and find a small boat against the current, and went to Huangfu Song for help.

"Ah~"

Where the two armies fought, Guan Hai was careless, he was shot in the shoulder by a secret shot, he screamed in pain, the hand holding the knife was unconsciously loosened, and the big knife in his hand fell to the ground, and the two yellow turban thieves next to him roared when they saw this, and they all raised their guns to stab.

Seeing this, Ye Zhao snorted, the sword light flashed, the two spears were disconnected in unison, turned around and the sword light flashed again, and the two yellow turban thieves were killed together, but more yellow turban thieves rushed up, Ye Zhao swung his sword and slashed, a long sword was like a swimming dragon, swinging back and forth in the crowd, seven or eight yellow turban thieves fell to the ground, and they couldn't fight anymore, Ye Zhao took the opportunity to let people drag Guan Hai into the rear to rest.

"My lord, the reinforcements have not yet arrived, and if we continue like this, our army will definitely lose!" Ding Li and Fang Yue killed Ye Zhao's side, the two of them were not as different from ordinary people as Ye Zhaodianwei, and they were already a little out of breath at the moment.

Ye Zhao looked back at the left and right, his formation had shrunk by nearly half, and the corpses of the soldiers on both sides were piled up together, and the people who rushed to the front stepped on it, all of them were corpses, and he couldn't tell whether it was the enemy or his own people.

Ye Zhao spat the bloody saliva fiercely, looked at the direction of Zhao Hongshuaiqi, and hissed: "Since you can't hold it, then kill!" Change the formation of arrows, and fight for this line of life! Dian Wei, open the way! ”

"Whoa!"

"Whoa!" 8)
