659, and rush to kill for a while
The current situation is obvious, the camp on Zhang Liao's side was broken by Liu Bei and Zang Ba, and it actually did not have much influence on the defensive battle of Pengcheng this time.
But if the grain, grass and materials left by Liu Bei and Zang Ba in the main camp in the rear were attacked by Zhang Liao, then Liu Bei and Zang Ba's soldiers and horses could only retreat, otherwise the soldiers would have no food to eat, and how could they still fight.
"Big brother, I will immediately bring troops back to help, and the eldest brother and General Zang can then outflank me with a large army, and this time I can't let Zhang Liao go!"
Guan Yu had actually realized something, but it was only after he saw the situation in Zhang Liao's camp that he found that Zhang Liao was not in the camp, so he thought of this possibility, but now he can only make amends.
The soldiers who came to summon the news just now also said how to deal with the stay in Mizhu and Wu Dun, so Guan Yu only hoped that they could still keep the grain, grass and materials, so that this battle could continue, otherwise this battle would not have to be fought.
Now Guan Yu just wants to rush back to support as soon as possible, as long as Zhang Liao can be delayed, Liu Bei and Zang Ba's follow-up soldiers and horses can naturally encircle and exterminate Zhang Liao.
"Okay, second brother, let's go!"
Liu Bei did not hesitate, and immediately agreed to Guan Yu, and then recalled Zhang Fei, who had just won a big victory in front of him, Liu Bei knew very well that it was the most important thing to go back and keep his own camp at this time.
Zang Ba also beckoned Sun Guan and Yin Li in front of him to collect their troops and come back, with a look of a little annoyance, he already regretted sending troops this time, and he has lost a lot of people so far, but he has not gained any benefits.
If the camp is broken by Zhang Liao, then he can only withdraw his troops in a gloomy manner, and this time his face will be lost.
Of course, the coalition forces of Liu Bei and Zang Ba, who had just won a game, hurriedly withdrew their troops, which made Lu Lingqi, Chen Deng, Wei Xu, Cao Xing and others in Pengcheng a little surprised.
In their opinion, Liu Bei and Zang Ba had just broken Zhang Liao's camp, shouldn't they go to the city gate to show off their might and persuade Lu Lingqi to open the city and surrender?
Now looking at their hurried state, it seems that they have encountered some kind of situation, so Lu Lingqi quickly sent two teams of scouts out of the city quietly, and followed Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army to inspect the situation.
At this time, we will look at the camp of Liu Bei and Zang Ba, at this moment, this camp that can accommodate tens of thousands of people has been on fire in all directions, and in the direction of the core area of the camp near the Surabaya River, there are two groups of men and horses engaged in offensive and defensive battles.
This is the grain, grass and material storage area of Liu Bei and Zangba's coalition army, close to the Surabaya River, and the other areas of the camp are specially separated from a space, and a temporary warehouse of granaries and storage materials is set up in it, covering an area of about two or three thousand square meters.
Mi Zhu and Wu Dun took two or three thousand soldiers left behind by Liu Bei and Zang Ba, plus more than three thousand auxiliary soldiers, with the help of various carriages and trolleys that originally transported grain, grass and materials, and surrounded the outer wall of the storage area, and became a simple barrier wall five or six steps wide close to the Surabaya River.
This is quite a means of dealing with thieves when some business travelers encounter thieves, and it is also the means that Mi Zhu, a big businessman, is good at, but he doesn't know if this can block Zhang Liao's attack, he only hopes to delay some time, and wait for Liu Bei to bring troops back to support as soon as possible.
And after Zhang Liao led his troops to set fire to destroy most of the camp, he also killed here.
In order to break through the defensive formations of Mizhu and Wu Dun, Zhang Liao also deliberately drove two or three thousand auxiliary soldiers and young men in front, but these people were also blocked by those improvised obstacles, and they failed to break through the military formation of their own army according to Zhang Liao's wishes, and they all fled around those obstacles.
Zhang Liao and Hou Cheng led their troops to this side, and when they saw the scene in front of them, although they felt a little troublesome, they did not give up the attack easily, so under the archers on both sides, Zhang Liao and Hou Cheng arranged for their soldiers to launch a strong attack.
The soldiers, holding large and small shields, quickly rushed to the obstacles formed by various cars, and began to move these obstacles, but these cars were basically stacked together, and it was difficult to separate them for a while.
What's more, there are Liu Bei and Zang Ba's soldiers, under the command of Mi Zhu and Wu Dun, they kept shooting feather arrows to attack, and soon more than 100 soldiers overturned here, and the obstacles posed by those cars were not much cleared.
Zhang Liao saw such a situation in the periphery, and his brows were also furrowed, a lot of time has passed since he attacked the camp, Zhang Liao is of course worried that Liu Bei and Zang Ba's soldiers and horses will come back to support.
Zhang Liao knew that he didn't have much time to waste, but it was really difficult to break through the last area in front for a while.
"Wen Yuan, it won't work like this, if Liu Bei and Zang Ba come back with troops, we will be surrounded and killed here!"
Hou Cheng was also a little worried, although Zhang Liao had already sent cavalry to the direction of Pengcheng as a scout, if Liu Bei and Zang Ba brought troops back to help, the scouts could also send back information in time, and they could respond in advance, but this was still a bit dangerous after all.
Besides, now that Liu Bei and Zang Ba's camp has basically been destroyed, their attack has been considered a success, and there is no need to continue to stay here.
"Then Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army grain and grass are all here, if they can destroy the grain and grass, this time Liu Bei and Zang Ba will be defeated without a fight, and try to kill for a while!"
Zhang Liao said a little unwillingly, if he can successfully destroy the grain and grass of Liu Bei and Zang Ba's coalition army this time, then he can repel Liu Bei's and Zang Ba's coalition army alone without Zhu Wei's support.
In Zhang Liao's view, this is the moment to show his ability, and only by revealing his ability can he be valued by Zhu Wei and entrusted with important tasks.
Zhang Liao also heard that Zhu Wei was eclectic in employing people, and he didn't care about his background or anything, just looking at your actual ability, when he was in Jingzhou, Zhu Wei directly promoted Wei Yan, Gan Ning, and Huang Zhong, who were not well-known, to be the real generals who were in charge of an army alone.
And Zhang Liao prides himself on not being a talentless person, if he can show his ability, maybe he can also be valued by Zhu Wei, and have the opportunity to take charge of an army alone and become a powerful general.
For a military general, only by being able to have the power to control the army and be valued and used can he have a way out, otherwise he will always be trapped in a square inch of land, and he will have no chance to make meritorious contributions.
In fact, Zhang Liao suggested taking refuge in Zhu Wei before, because he knew Zhu Wei's intentions, he would be envious, he knew that if he threw himself into Yuan Shao, with his familiarity with Yuan Shao, it would definitely be impossible for him to be valued by Yuan Shao from such a humble background, and he would not have the opportunity to control military power.
Therefore, this time Zhang Liao easily seized an opportunity, as long as he could destroy the grain and grass of Liu Bei and Zang Ba's coalition army, it would be equivalent to him repelling Liu Bei and Zang Ba's armies alone, and this ability would definitely make Zhu Wei value.
It's just that although Zhang Liao wants to make meritorious contributions, he can see the defensive posture set up by Mi Zhu and Wu Dun in front of him, and he still feels a little headache when he sees those obstacles surrounded by various vehicles.
Zhang Liao couldn't help but regret that he shouldn't have wasted too much time burning the camp, he could have allocated a part of his forces to destroy the camp, and he himself should have brought troops to fight this side as soon as possible.
In that case, Mi Zhu and Wu Dun would not have time to prepare, so naturally they would not be blocked by those cars like now, and there would be no way to kill them.
Zhang Liao also knew that what Hou Cheng said was right, he had to evacuate before Liu Bei and Zang Ba's coalition came back to support, otherwise he would bury himself here this time, so after thinking about it, Zhang Liao said coldly......
