Chapter 290: Whoever stands in my way, die
Guo Yan still rushed to the camp at the north port of the Meridian Road ahead of Cao De. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xiahou Yuan and the others, who had already taken this big camp, decided to take the initiative after discussing it, so now Ma Chao is leading the four hundred and seventy-three people to play kite flying with the cavalry of Guo Yanjun's army.
And when Guo Yan found that this inconspicuous cavalry was so strong, he also realized that he couldn't delay it any longer, and he had to take down this big battalion as quickly as possible. So, Guo Yan began to attack.
And after Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Fei waited for Ma Chao to appear, they began to plan how to defend this camp.
Hard fighting is not possible. Ma Chao has already led some of the men and horses to kill them, and now there are only a thousand people in the entire camp. If you face off head-to-head with Guo Yan, I'm afraid that even if these thousand people are all spelled out, it won't cause much loss to Guo Yan.
After thinking and meditating, Xiahou Yuan made a decision.
Therefore, Xiahou Yuan asked Zhang Fei to take seven hundred cavalry to assemble outside the east side of the camp. Then he took three hundred cavalry who had abandoned their war horses and hid in the huge camp, ready to play hide and seek with Guo Yan.
This time, Guo Yan brought an army of 10,000, including 3,000 cavalry and 7,000 infantry.
Two thousand of the three thousand cavalry went out to pursue Ma Chao, and the attack on the camp depended on the infantry. So, five thousand infantry went into battle.
They lined up in a neat formation, step by step, towards the camp that should have belonged to them.
In their opinion, the large battalion in front of them was empty, because they did not even see a single soldier of Cao De's army.
So, after passing through the front step by step, they began to charge, and it seemed that their momentum was to gouge through the camp with a single charge.
Guo Yan knew that the defense of this large battalion was very weak now, and the Cao De army inside was only more than a thousand people, so Guo Yan was not worried that he would be ambushed. And even if there is an ambush, so what.
Any conspiracy and trickery is a floating cloud in the face of absolute power!
Guo Yan's army was pushing to the westernmost gate and wooden fence of the camp, and they rushed into the camp. And the camp was really as empty as they saw!
However, the camp was really empty. Just as the attacking Guo Yanjun put down his shield and was about to carefully inspect and inspect, countless cold arrows flew from all directions. Many of the soldiers of Guo Yanjun, who were caught off guard, fell to the ground one after another, and the screams were endless.
As soon as the cold arrow fell to the ground, they immediately put up the shields in their hands again. Then, with the weapon in his hand, he quietly came to the place where the cold arrows were shot.
They opened the tent where the cold arrows had been fired, but it was empty, except for a large hole in the back of the tent that had been cut open by a sharp weapon. They picked up the piles of grain and hay and dry grass that were piled up everywhere in the camp, but they were also empty.
However, just as they were about to inform their compatriots of their safety, the cold arrow came again.
Many more people fell to the ground with arrows, and there was another panic.
The most terrible opponent is the invisible enemy, the most terrible enemy is not knowing the number of opponents, and the most terrible death is not knowing when it will come.
Soon, Guo Yan learned about the situation in the camp in front of him. Guo Yan hurriedly ordered, and the shield array was enveloped step by step, step by step.
Therefore, Xiahou Yuan's tactics of fighting and retreating were cracked by Guo Yan. The attacking Guo Yan army was always at the forefront of the strong shield array. When they came across tents or haystacks and other places where they could hide people, a dozen spears or thatched tips beckoned first.
Slowly, the entire camp had been swallowed up by them, and it had taken them nearly an hour.
In this hour, Xiahou Yuan's hide-and-seek tactics did not have much effect. Moreover, the space for Xiahou Yuan's activities is getting smaller and smaller.
Guo Yan's army is still advancing, and Xiahou Yuan is constantly retreating. Between the enemy's advance and retreat, there were also many Xiahou Yuan's cold archers who were unfortunately discovered by Guo Yanjun, and then they were shot into hedgehogs by the angry Guo Yanjun.
Time is passing little by little, and the east side of the camp occupied by Xiahou Yuan is getting smaller and smaller, and at most for more than half an hour, Xiahou Yuan will have nowhere to hide.
Without the cover of the tents and weeds in the camp, Xiahou Yuan and the less than 200 people who were still in the camp would become a live target for Guo Yanjun's army.
The time of this battle had been more than two hours, and Xiahou Yuan didn't need to deliberately look to know that Ma Chao on the other side of the battlefield had reached the point of exhaustion.
In fact, although Ma Chao used the tactics of kite flying to lose most of the cavalry of Guo Yan's army, which pursued him, this is not a flat grassland after all, so the physical consumption of the war horse is particularly large. Moreover, the arrows have long been exhausted. Therefore, half an hour ago, Ma Chao exhausted the last physical strength of the war horse, and finally got rid of the pursuing enemy army, turned around, and left the battlefield.
Now, the only troops that Xiahou Yuan can use are Zhang Fei's seven hundred horsemen. However, the disparity in strength between 700 cavalry and 5,000 enemy troops was too great. Moreover, Xiahou Yuan still had a glimmer of hope.
Another quarter of an hour had passed, and Xiahou Yuan had already withdrawn to the easternmost side of the camp. If you retreat further, it will be the wooden fence on the east side of the camp.
Xiahou Yuan took out the ring-headed broadsword on his waist. Death is better than being killed by the enemy's arrows.
Just as Xiahou Yuan was about to jump out of his hiding place, a burst of shouts came, "Lu Bu is here!" β
Guo Yan heard the long-standing shouting because of the echo of the valley, and turned his head to the south, only to see that at the exit of the Meridian Valley, a man and a rider were coming at a rapid pace, and behind him was the dust flying from the horse's hooves.
Guo Yan fixed his eyes and saw that it was really Lu Bu, Guo Yan hurriedly ordered, "Speed up the offensive, and be sure to take the big camp before the thief army arrives!" β
"No!" After the herald received the order, the war drum team immediately beat the war drum according to Guo Yan's order. After hearing the sound of war drums, Guo Yanjun, who was still in the camp, immediately raised the shield in front of him, straightened the spear in his hand, and began to accelerate and charge.
And at this moment, Xiahou Yuan also shouted, "Retreat, withdraw from the camp!" β
The White Tiger Cavalry Knight, who had given up his war horse of less than 200 people, immediately followed behind Xiahou Yuan, and took advantage of the enemy's charge that could not release arrows, climbed over the wooden fence of the camp, and ran towards the east.
On the battlefield today, there is only Lu Bu left. And Lu Bu couldn't see the situation in that big camp. When Lu Bu arrived at the battlefield, he only saw the 2,000 infantry arrayed on the west side of the camp and Guo Yan's banner on the west side.
Lu Bu did not enter the camp, but urged the Chitu BMW under his crotch and galloped towards Guo Yan's banner.
On the way, Lu Bu carried his Fang Tian Painting Halberd behind him, and then pulled out two scimitars from both sides of the saddle and stuck them on the saddle. Then, Lu Bu put Fang Tian's halberd in his hand again.
Before Lu Bu left, Cao De specially changed a saddle for Lu Bu, and this saddle was a saddle where a scimitar could be installed. With the clever buckle mechanism, the two scimitars are firmly attached to the saddle, one on the left and one on the right, and the back of the scimitar also forms a semicircle, protecting the knight on horseback.
The speed of the Red Rabbit Horse was so fast, so almost in the blink of an eye, Lu Bu avoided the infantry of Guo Yan's army from one side and came to the side of Guo Yan's banner.
Guo Yan knew Lu Bu's ferocity, so he immediately mobilized six hundred cavalry behind him and launched an attack directly opposite Lu Bu.
Soon, LΓΌ Bu met with six hundred cavalry.
"I am Lu Fengxian, the one who stands in my way, die!"
Lu Bu burst into a shout again, Fang Tian drew a halberd and rushed into the oncoming cavalry group!
