Chapter 0004: Fierce Battle
Bai Er's personal soldiers fought less and less, and slowly retreated to the mound, relying on the slightly higher terrain of the mound to resist the Wu army that kept coming up.
The whole battlefield was filled with the sound of weapons colliding and the roars of soldiers on both sides, the soldiers with red eyes on both sides took the weapons in their hands and stabbed at each other fiercely, and those without weapons directly fell down and became a ball, opening their big mouths and biting directly at each other's vital points.
Before the enemy had time to rejoice, the enemy behind pierced the heart again, and the blood flowed all over the mound like water, looking at the increasingly red mound like a blooming bewitching flower, the crows in the air were even more excited and cheerful, and the whole battlefield was like a roaring meat grinder.
Liu Chan looked at everything on the battlefield, he was not afraid, he still looked calm, but his heart was beating excitedly, and he couldn't help licking his lips and narrowing his eyes into a slit.
"Adou! Get behind me, it's a war! β
Zhang Bao, who was chasing after him, looked at Liu Chan and was stunned, thinking that Liu Chan was frightened by the atmosphere on the battlefield, and yelled anxiously. Although he likes to laugh at Liu Chan, when it comes to the critical moment, he is still worried about Liu Chan, because Liu Chan is his uncle's son and his younger brother.
"Humph!"
Liu Chan glanced at Zhang Bao with disdain, and directly took out the spear that was standard on the war horse and threw it at the Wu army opposite, the spear was like a poisonous snake with long eyes, and it passed through the throat of the Wu soldier in front of him without slowing down, and then firmly nailed to the chest of the Wu soldier behind before stopping.
"Shhh
Zhang Bao stared at the leopard and looked at the spear thrown by Liu Chan and couldn't speak for a while, if he was replaced, he might be able to pass directly through the chests of the two soldiers with his strength, but through the throat, he felt a little reluctant, after all, people are moving, Liu Chan can actually pass through the throat of the other party and then nail it to the chest of the soldiers behind, which requires a lot of accuracy and control.
Liu Chan ignored Zhang Bao's surprised gaze, looked at Wu Bing, who was penetrated by his spear and couldn't die anymore, and shook his head secretly, but this body was still a little too fragile, and it seemed that he would have to strengthen his training in the future.
Liu Chan thought in his heart, but his movements did not stop, he was used to using knives, he dismounted and pulled out the long knife in the hands of the dead soldiers beside him, waved it gently, nodded with satisfaction, shouted, and couldn't help but slash at the Wu army in front of him.
Zhang Bao saw Liu Chan rushing towards the mound, and hurriedly dismounted to protect Liu Chan's side, and at this time, the Han army who came to support him, without giving an order, directly picked up his weapon and rushed up the hill with a roar.
Liu Chan still looked calm with the long knife in his hand, and as soon as he arrived on the hill, he saw Chen Zhi in his memory standing at the forefront of the soldiers, gritting his teeth and waving the long knife in his hand to resist the Wu army that was about to rush up, the whole hill was full of stumps and broken arms, and blood flowed down the hill like a stream.
"Kill me!"
Looking at the people who were fighting bloodily, even Liu Chan, who had always been calm, felt a lot of pain in his heart, yelled, and moved directly in front of Chen Dao.
The Wu army, which was originally in control of the victory, was also caught off guard by the Han reinforcements that suddenly arrived, and subconsciously formed an encirclement and killed the rushing reinforcements.
In this way, Chen Zhifang felt that the pressure was greatly reduced, and he continued to move closer to the reinforcements under the desperate efforts of all the soldiers.
A lot of money, beautiful women and cruel wars, the most can arouse the blood of men, now with the arrival of reinforcements, the white-eared soldiers have gradually given up the defense, red eyes to the Wu army crowd to kill the past, one side is the victory in hand, the other side is anger and grievances, the two armies have completely entered the white heat.
At this time, in the camp of the Wu army, a young man with a face like a warm jade, holding a horse, wearing a white robe, was protected by a group of soldiers wearing armor, which seemed to be a little out of place with this style of iron and blood, and the young man looked at the soldiers in front of him calmly and thoughtfully.
The young man is Lu Xun, the governor of Wu who killed Liu Bei and failed to form an army.
"Governor, let me go! The last general will definitely be able to capture the big-eared thief alive! A general beside Lu Xun looked at the soldiers fighting in front of him and was eager to try.
Lu Xun disagreed, calmly looked at the battlefield of fierce battles, sighed and said, "Zhao Yun's reinforcements are here." We have lost our best chance. The order was given to withdraw the troops. β
"Governor, give the last general 10,000 soldiers, and the last general will definitely be able to defeat the reinforcements and capture Liu Bei alive." A general on Lu Xun's other side said unwillingly.
"Retreat!"
Lu Xun didn't pay attention to the generals around him who were eager to try, and directly turned his horse and walked to the rear.
"Governor, we have a chance to win! How to retreat! β
Lu Xun stopped his horse, looked at the confused soldiers, shook his head, raised his finger and pointed to the north, and snorted: "Then Liu Bei is just a paper tiger, but the real tiger is in the north, I also know that I can continue to fight, but so what, the two armies will fight and lose both, and when the time comes, when the Cao thief goes south, what will we use to resist." β
After saying that, he didn't care about everyone anymore, and rode straight to the original road and continued to return.
Only then did the soldiers suddenly realize, and they didn't dare to say a word anymore, and ordered the Wu army to retreat in an orderly manner.
Looking at the retreating Wu Jun, Chen Zhi gasped heavily, and then looked at the rest of the people around him, his heart was sour, and he sat down.
"General Chen, you're all right."
Liu Chan held a long knife stained with blood and walked over panting.
The lost Chen Zhi subconsciously looked up at the person who shouted at him, and he was even more shocked in his heart, and subconsciously reached out to wipe his face covered with blood and dust, and said incredulously: "Your Highness, Your Highness!" Are you Your Highness? β
Liu Chan nodded calmly. Chen Zhi, as Liu Bei's personal guard, is naturally familiar with Liu Chan, but in his eyes, Liu Chan is just a child, but today it is Liu Chan who leads reinforcements to support him. I couldn't help but be a little shocked.
The white-eared soldiers also saw Liu Chan for the first time, looking at Liu Chan with a thin look, but then looking at the long knife with blood in Liu Chan's hand, they all showed respect and hurriedly saluted.
Looking at the lost Chen Dao, and then looking at the white-eared soldiers who were also lying on the ground with prostration, Liu Chan knew that there must be heavy casualties this time. Then he looked at the stumps everywhere and the soldiers who were screaming in pain, and exhaled deeply: "General Chen, let's go back to White Emperor City first." β
Chen Zhi is an old soldier after all, but this time the defeat was too miserable, he slowly got up with a knife, looked at the messy battlefield with red eyes and raised his head and shouted: "Come on, send the brothers home!" β
After speaking, he looked at the battlefield again, and walked towards the White Emperor City with Liu Chan with red eyes
Before Liu Chan and Chen arrived at the White Emperor City, the soldiers patrolling the city wall did not dare to relax, closely monitoring the movement in the east, until they saw that it was their own army that they breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly opened the city gate.
Liu Chan looked at the tired Chen Zhi and the soldiers who were speechless beside him, and said in a deep voice: "General Chen Zhi, you and the soldiers go to rest first, and I will go to see my father." After speaking, under the leadership of the guards, he walked towards Liu Bei's residence.
Chen Zhi nodded, looked at Liu Chan who was walking, sighed, and led the soldiers to the barracks tiredly.
At this time, the city lord's mansion in the White Emperor City has now become Liu Bei's palace, after Zhao Yun sent Liu Bei here, Liu Bei slowly woke up, but thinking that his 100,000 army was so completely defeated, he was suddenly ashamed and angry, and couldn't help crying bitterly.
Zhao Yun looked at the sad Majesty and persuaded him with kind words, and Liu Bei slowly stopped crying and knelt down in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion with a depressed face.
Liu Bei, who had just stopped crying, seemed to remember what was going on, and asked in a panic: "Zilong, who is going to support Chen?" Why haven't you come back yet? As he spoke, he didn't forget to look up at the door, looking worried.
Zhao Yun, who was kneeling on the futon below, said embarrassedly: "It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Zhang Bao who led the army. β
Zhao Yun lowered his head after speaking, Liu Bei fainted at that time, Zhao Yun was too worried about Liu Bei, and Chen went to the emergency situation over there, so Liu Chan and others went to support him and didn't stop him, now I think about it, Liu Bei has a son in his old age, and he loves Liu Chan very much, if Liu Chan has something wrong, then how can it be explained!
Sure enough, when Liu Bei heard that Liu Chan had gone to support Chen, he didn't react for a while, and he was about to nod, and he suddenly asked in disbelief: "What?" Fools? Adou is taking the troops to go. He'sβhe's a kid! How to let him go! β
At that time, the lord was in a coma, and the minister was worried about the comfort of the lord, so he forgot to call His Royal Highness, and asked the lord to punish the crime! β
Liu Bei waved his hand helplessly, clapped his thighs with both hands and stared at the door with a worried face, and wanted to shed tears in his eyes, after all, Liu Chan was just a child in his eyes, and he had no combat experience.
After a pause, Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun who bowed his head and felt guilty below, sighed and comforted: "I'm just afraid that Adou is young and frivolous, and he has no sense of proportion, and he can't save the soldiers!" Those are all soldiers who have followed me for many years! As he spoke, he stroked his forehead with his hand, looking worried.
Just when the two of them were at a loss. The guards hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Chen Zhi have returned." Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is outside. β
Hearing that Liu Chan actually rescued Chen Zhi, Liu Bei, who had been worried about the safety of Liu Chan and Bai'er's personal soldiers, let go of his hanging heart, and didn't think much about it, and said to the guards in a panic: "It's good to come back." Quick, let the prince come to see me. β
The guards hurriedly agreed to invite Liu Chan, and Zhao Yun also breathed a sigh of relief.
