Chapter 422: Please Help Jingzhou
Li Dian breathed a sigh of relief, if Le Jin hadn't arrived in time, he might have to confess.
It's just that when he looked at it, Le Jin had been completely suppressed by Li Jin, and he was stumped.
Can't hesitate anymore, Le Jin alone can't beat this Li Jin, Li Dian tightened the spear in his hand and killed him.
Li Jin is one against two, not falling behind at all, shaking his spirit, and it is inseparable from the two generals.
Liu Bei looked at Li Jin one by one, although he did not fall behind, but he couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart.
This time, Cao Cao's troops came to attack, and if he was defeated the first time and retreated into the city, this would be a huge blow to morale.
So, Liu Bei made a color to Guan Yu beside him.
Guan Yu understood, clamped his legs, lifted the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and killed in the middle of the field.
Li Dian and Le Jin both had some difficulty fighting Li Jin, if Guan Yu came again, the two would definitely not be able to defeat each other.
"Where is Dian Wei?" Cao Cao shouted, "Go and resist Guan Yu!" ”
"The last general commands!" Dian Wei held a double halberd and stepped out of the horse.
The two fought with swords and halberds, and you came and went, which was very fierce.
Cao Cao was also anxious, the army came the same way, if it was consumed like this, he would not be able to take advantage of it.
Cao Cao couldn't wait, and with a wave of his hand, Cao Cao's army rushed up.
Liu Bei was naturally not far behind, picked up the sword in his hand, and personally led the troops to rush forward.
The generals of the two sides who were fighting also dominated the battle and commanded their own troops.
As soon as the battle began, Cao's army, equipped with advanced weapons provided by Zhao Qian, quickly gained the upper hand.
And Liu Bei's department, except for the school knife team led by Guan Yu, can also Cao Jun is evenly matched, and the rest of the troops are no match at all.
Seeing that the situation is very good, Cao Cao also plans to capture Xiapi City in one go!
Liu Bei was anxious, but he was also quite helpless, Guan Yu and Li Jin had already tried their best to resist, but Cao Jun's offensive was too fierce and the equipment was good, it seemed that he was going to lose this time.
Just when Liu Bei was about to order the troops to retreat back to the city and defend the city, there was a sudden shout of killing from the south.
Liu Bei and Cao Cao turned their heads almost at the same time, only to see a rushing army rushing from that side.
In front of the army, there are two large flags, one side is written "Guangling", and the other side is a big "Zhang" character.
"Zhang Chao is here, Cao Thief is arrogant!"
Seeing the banner of Guangling Taishou, Liu Bei laughed and shouted: "All the soldiers, General Zhang came to help us fight Cao thieves, rush!" ”
Liu Beijun, who was already defeated, saw the reinforcements coming to fight, and immediately lifted his spirits and counterattacked towards the Cao army in front of him.
And Cao Cao's side was not happy, and the Cao army, which was originally full of morale, was attacked from the flank by the army that suddenly appeared.
Although there were several generals who tried their best to resist, but those ordinary sergeants did not have this reaction, and the troops who rushed to the front had been led by Zhang Chao's Guangling army, and the formation was in chaos.
When the two armies fight, the importance of the formation is self-evident, and if this formation is chaotic, it means defeat.
Seeing that Liu Bei and Zhang Chao had joined forces and showed signs of counterattack, Cao Cao knew that he had to make a decision.
"Mingjin retreats!" Cao Cao said to the messenger beside him.
The messenger received the order and immediately rushed away, and after a while, when the sound of dangdang sounded, the Cao army began to retreat.
Liu Bei was naturally unwilling to let go of this pursuit, and immediately ordered to pursue Cao Jun.
"Yu Ban and Li Dian listened to the order, led the army to ambush left and right, and waited for Liu Bei to come to attack them!" Cao Cao commanded.
Yu Ban and Li Dian received the order, divided into two teams, left the large army, and ambushed the left and right.
It didn't take long for Liu Bei to lead an army to come, and he was bent on pursuing Cao Cao, but he didn't expect an ambush at all.
So, when Liu Bei's front rushed by, Yu Ban and Li Dian led the ambush soldiers to kill from both sides of the road.
This time, Liu Bei was caught off guard, and the front army and the rear army suddenly lost contact, and the army was in chaos.
Yu Ban and Li Dian did not fight with Liu Bei's army, but the adults rushed left and right, the purpose was to disrupt Liu Beijun's rhythm.
After rushing and killing indiscriminately, Yu Ban and Li Dian didn't dare to stay too long, and hurriedly beckoned their troops to retreat.
And Liu Bei couldn't continue to pursue at this time, his team was in chaos, how could he chase it?
Even if he barely catches up, he is likely to be counterattacked by Cao Cao again.
Therefore, the important thing now is to integrate his team first, so as not to have any more accidents, as for Cao Cao, he can only plan next time.
After packing up the team, Liu Bei returned to Xiapi City with Zhang Chao, Guan Yu, and Li Jin.
The Guangling army led by Zhang Chao remained outside the city.
When he returned to the city, the first thing Liu Bei did was to strengthen his defenses and send more scouts to investigate and guard against Cao Cao's attack.
Then, Liu Bei held a banquet to catch Zhang Chao.
"Thank you General Zhang for coming to help in time, otherwise Xiapi City would be in danger." Liu Bei raised the wine glass in his hand and gestured.
Zhang Chao hurriedly picked up the wine glass on the front case, and said: "I was ordered by the lord to go to Guangling to recruit troops, fortunately not dishonored, gathered thousands of soldiers, and came to help the lord resist Cao." ”
After a few people dried the wine in the cup, Liu Bei sighed and said with a worried face: "Cao Cao's troops are in full swing, although General Zhang helps, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist." ”
Li Jin clenched his fists and said, "Lord, if Cao Cao wants to capture Xiapi, he must pass from my corpse!" ”
Liu Bei nodded, but did not speak, but his eyes were very worried.
At this time, Liu Bei's brother-in-law Mi Zhu smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "Don't worry, my lord, Mr. Gongyou has already gone to Jingzhou, as long as Liu Jingsheng sends troops, then Cao Cao will no longer be a threat." ”
"Alas, I can only hope for Mr. Gongyou." Liu Bei was still worried.
At this time, far away in Jingzhou, Sun Qian came to see Liu Biao.
Liu Biao is a person, it is best to make friends with celebrities, Sun Qian is not an unknown person, as early as when Tao Qian ruled Xuzhou, he was famous.
Liu Biao hosted a banquet to welcome Sun Gan and asked: "I heard that Liu Xuande took over Xuzhou, and Gongyou did not assist Xuande, but came to Jingzhou, what did you mean?" ”
Sun Qian arched his hand and said: "Liu Envoy Jun is a hero in the world, although the soldiers are few generals, and the ambition is to help Sheji, Ming Gong and Envoy Jun are both the Han family, and now the Envoy Jun is very anxious to be attacked by Cao Cao, and wants to ask Jiangdong Sun Bofu for help. Therefore, the special envoy came to ask for help, but Ming Gong rescued him. ”
When Liu Biao heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Speaking of the ancestors, Xuande is my brother, I want to meet for a long time but can't, now Xuande comes to ask for help, how can I sit idly by?" ”
"The lord can't, Liu Bei doesn't obey the king's orders, and fights against Zhao Cheng, if you save him now, you will be on fire." Next to him, Cai Mao said bluntly.
Liu Biao pondered slightly, and seemed to feel quite reasonable, so he asked, "What is Deju's clever plan?" ”
