Chapter Thirty-Nine: Death Strikes
It is not an exaggeration to describe the land of Lan Yan as a hell on earth at this time, if you can look at the earth from afar, you can find that the forces of Wu and Han are no longer balanced at this time; Nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Han army have been defeated, and the left flank is about to be captured by the Eastern Wu ambush soldiers who have just arrived, and the forward has not made progress.
"Chen arrives, immediately lead all the Royal Forest Army to gather, and I will personally go to resist the ambush of Eastern Wu"
"No" Chen replied dryly, without a trace of hesitation;
"Your Majesty, if you have losses in the battle, then even if our army can win this battle, what is the point" Ma Liang saw that Liu Bei was going to get on his horse and fight, so he hurriedly stopped it.
"If I don't personally defend the left flank, then once the left flank is captured, where should our army go? If I personally lead the army to resist, it will also inspire the hearts of all the soldiers; So don't say more about joining the army, you stay here and command the battle" After saying that, Liu Bei immediately stepped on his war horse and went straight to the left flank. After that, more than 1,000 soldiers of the Royal Forest Army were also excited, after all, some of them had seen Liu Bei fighting on horseback, and at this time, they were a little excited to see Liu Bei about to enter the battlefield again, and more moved.
Where the imperial flag passed, the soldiers of the Han army were all moved, Liu Bei deliberately entered the phalanx of the rout of the barbarians, holding a double-strand sword to spread out on both sides, and the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army immediately lined up in a row, blocking the rout of the barbarians.
"Wuxi soldiers, listen, if you dare to take a step back, don't blame me for being merciless" Liu Bei shouted at the Wuxi barbarians, and the Wuxi barbarians seemed to pause when they were under Liu Bei's majesty;
The ambush in the east had already clashed with the left flank of the Han army at this time, and the result could be imagined, the Han army gradually retreated, and at this time it had completely lost the strength to resist, and Feng Xi also watched the battle situation helplessly; At this moment, a big banner appeared in the left wing army, and in the blink of an eye, it was actually the battle flag of His Majesty the Emperor of Shu Han, and under the big banner, it was naturally more than 1,000 imperial forest troops led by Liu Bei himself to join the battle.
"Hooray, hooray, hoorayγγγ
The entire left wing erupted with the same sentence at this time, how could they be intimidated by blood and death if they could fight hand in hand with the monarch of their own country, and the entire left wing soldiers began to counterattack under the command of Feng Xi.
When the phrase 'long live' spread throughout the battlefield, the officers and men of the two armies all looked towards the source of the sound, but the result was shocking! The soldiers of the Han army, looking at their monarch, were also full of emotion at this time, and they had no regrets in this life to be able to pawn under this monarch.
left-wing battlefields; With the addition of more than 1,000 Imperial Forest Army, the combat strength of the whole army has also been unprecedentedly strengthened, and the advantage of the Wu army's ambush is suddenly gone, and if this momentum continues to develop, the Wu army will inevitably be defeated on this road; At this time, Chen Zhi protected Liu Bei from left to right, as if he was entering a no-man's land, and there was no general, and the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army under him were also fierce and abnormal;
The fierce collision of the two spears of the 'bell γγγ' made the surrounding soldiers look open, but they saw that it was Wu General Ling Tong who personally went out to fight Chen Dao; Ling Tongyi was thinking of breaking the enemy's left flank and sweeping away all obstacles; Chen Zhi was thinking that those who dared to stop His Majesty the Emperor would 'die'. The two fought together with their own beliefs; The facts also proved that Ling Tong's blocking had an effect, he resisted the momentum of the Imperial Forest Army, which was equivalent to a sharp blade stabbing an iron plate; Unless this sharp blade sharpens iron like clay, it must not pierce Ling Tong's iron plate.
It's a pity that Ling Tong really encountered the sharp blade that sharpened iron like clay, and after twenty rounds, Chen Zhi completely gained the upper hand, and Ling Tong would be defeated in less than ten rounds; At this time, Ling Tong could completely withdraw from the battle and use the tactics of the sea of people to slow down the pace of the attack of the Royal Forest Army, but the arrogance in his bones drove him to continue fighting, in the past, when he was fifteen years old, Ling Tong was recognized by Sun Quan by virtue of his personal bravery, looking at the entire Eastern Wu at this time, no one except Zhou Tai could compete with Ling Tong, but the general he met today could make him fall behind in twenty rounds, how could he be willing; One was not careful, and the war horse had already been picked down by Chen Zhi.
"General, retreat! I'll fight him" Ling Tong jumped out behind him, and went straight to Chen; Ling Tong was rescued by the swarming soldiers. When the soldiers of the Han army saw that Ling Tong had been defeated, they immediately greeted him again, and the Imperial Forest Army was also like a tiger entering the wolf pack at this time; The battlefield on the left flank has been saved by the bravery of the Royal Forest Army, and it has gained the upper hand slightly.
Zhang Fei, a former army general, also tore open this layer of fish scales when morale was high; Zhuge Qiao also led the soldiers he trained with his own hands and the five hundred Royal Forest Army to constantly impact the Wu army's military formation; Qin Shan and Qin Hong completely showed what they had learned in their lives at this time, the two iron spears were covered with blood at this time, and the soldiers saw that they were so heroic, and they also picked up the spirit of desperate struggle to fight the enemy to the death. Zhuge Qiao was also behind the two of them, holding the spear reaper The life of the enemy soldier, but he did not have the Qin brothers' marksmanship smoothly and accurately. The 20,000 elite soldiers of the headquarters broke through the biggest obstacle of the Wu army like a tide and went straight to Han Dang's handsome banner.
Han Dang was also stunned by the scene that happened in front of him, what he didn't expect was that the Han army's combat effectiveness would be so strong, and Liu Bei was also such a hero, and the battle had been defeated.
"Order all armies, slowly withdraw from the battlefield, don't give the enemy a chance to take advantage of" Han Dang immediately issued a military order to retreat, which also shows Han Dang's decisiveness.
"Governor, the whole army retreats from you" A general next to him realized that something was wrong.
"In this battle, defeat is my unfavorable command, and it is also my greed for credit; It's up to me to break the queen, life and death depend on the destiny of heaven," Han Dang said as he looked at the Han soldiers who were about to be killed.
"Governor, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, although we lost this battle, we will start all over again after that, as long as Liu Bei is driven out of Jingzhou, it will also be a great achievement."
"I have made up my mind, you don't have to persuade again"; Han Dang stepped on the war horse and led the last fish-scale phalanx under Shuai's banner and rushed in the direction of Zhang Fei. In fact, Han Dang's mood at this time is completely understandable, Han Dang followed Sun Jian from the beginning, then Sun Ce, Sun Quan, and has gone through the third generation of the Sun family, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, etc. have all passed away; Sun Quan also thought that he had experienced three generations of the Sun family in Handang, and was a rare good general, and he was highly respected, so he was sent to lead the army to resist Liu Bei's invasion as the governor of Zuodu, but he was greedy for military merits, went out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the enemy, and was defeated, how could he dare to return to Jiangdong to meet Sun Quan.
"Your Majesty, the Wu army is retreating" Feng Xi, the left-wing general, leaned towards Liu Bei.
"Chase, don't leave one" put away the double-strand sword and pointed forward.
[Note: Chen Zhizi Shuzhi, Liu Bei's personal guard, and the commander of the white-eared elite soldiers; Because of the existence of Zhao Yun, it covered up the light of Chen Zhi, according to historical records, Chen Zhiyong, only this Zhao Yun; "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" commented on Chen Dao: known as loyal and brave]
