Chapter Twenty-Nine: Charging the Enemy's Main Formation
This place called Stinky Fart Slope has always been unknown, except for the people of the nearby villages who know this place, even the people of Chang'an do not know that there is such a place dozens of miles southeast of Chang'an, but today, he has become the place where thousands of people belong, a place to bury them. The flames were raging, the sound of killing was bursting, and one fell, desperately getting up, and then falling another. Li Dao's cavalry lost most of their advantage, and the woods and shrubs in front of Chen Lin's army caused great trouble for Li Dao's cavalry, and the cavalry almost became foot soldiers, but at this time, Li Dao couldn't and didn't even dare to shout back. For the sake of rushing forward, Chen Lin only had 1,000 people, and Li Wei had 15,000 cavalry and infantry.
There are screams everywhere, fighting for life everywhere, Liu Bei can't stand it at first, Jia Xu stood at the highest place of the hill and said to Chen Lin: "Lord, our army has been prepared to compress one hundred and fifty steps, Liu Xuande's side is even more about to collapse, and the Xiliang soldiers are so fierce even in foot combat." Chen Lin turned his head and saw that only half of Liu Bei's 4,000 people were left two hundred steps away, if it weren't for Guan Yu's hero, he would be at the forefront, he was afraid that he would be broken.
"Let Xuande come over, his military camp can no longer be defended, let Xuande form a phalanx with our army on the right side of the right side." Chen Lin saw that Liu Bei was really not good, so he hurriedly asked Liu Bei to come over, Liu Bei was defeated, and it was even more difficult for him to resist alone. Fa Zheng: "Lord, hand over the right side to Liu Xuande, and the thirty carts that have been prepared don't need to be kept, push them up, give way to a concave shape in the middle lane, hold on both sides, let the enemy attack from the middle concave, and then match more archers on both sides to shoot the enemy in the middle." ”
"Order Huang Yan to retreat fifty steps, Xiong Ming and the townspeople are not allowed to take half a step back, and will prepare 600 people to all sides and shoot the enemy in the middle with bows and arrows." Chen Lin decisively accepted Fa Zheng's opinion. At Liu Bei's end, a team of Chen Lin's guards rushed over: "General Liu, my lord wants you to abandon the military camp and move to the left, on the right side of our army." Liu Bei heard it: "What, abandon the camp?" ”
At this time, Sima Fang said in time: "Lord, what Chen Zhoumu said is extremely true, our army can no longer withstand it, Chen Zhoumu has a cart for the military formation, which is stronger than our army, and this is the only way to plan for now, if the baggage in the camp can be taken away, it can be taken away, and if it can't be taken away, it will be set on fire, and it can also stop the enemy. ”
Liu Bei shouted: "General Guan slowly retreated, and the whole army moved to the left and set fire to the camp." "This time it's a loss, Liu Bei thought, in addition to the bow and arrow, the rest of the baggage was almost too late to take away, so he had to set it on fire, but Liu Bei wanted to transport it to Chang'an and use it well to defend the city, now it's okay. Whether he can live today is one thing, Liu Bei is not a person without vision, seeing the fierceness of the Xiliang soldiers, Liu Bei is a little envious, why don't he have such a good army. Liu Bei didn't want to think about it, for so many years, the people of Xiliang have not been fighting, and those who have survived to the present day can not be elite.
Zhou Cang came back with a big knife, and Chen Lin shouted: "Zhou Cang, why did you come back?" "Lord, the right side has been given to Liu Xuande's white face, what are you doing there if I don't come back."
It turned out that Chen Lin divided Huang Yan, Duan Yu, Liu Zhao, and Zhou Cang to guard the four corners, and now it happened to be Zhou Cang's side that Liu Bei was going to take over, and Zhou Cang returned with the remaining eight hundred people. Chen Lin sighed and said, "Then don't be idle, how many people are left?" ”
"More than 800 people" "Okay, 800, go to 200 people on the left and right sides to support both sides, and there are 300 people left, Zhou Cang, you take it personally, go up to help Huang Yan, Huang Yan is against the middle road, and you have to let the enemy army come in fifty steps, the pressure is too great, go and help." As soon as Zhou Cang heard that there was a battle, he was elated: "Then the eldest young master, you-"
"Go, the safety of a certain is not a problem, as long as you resist it, the enemy army will not be able to enter." Chen Lin kicked over, Zhou Cang ran to the front, and the eight hundred people just retreated and divided into three bands. At this time, Liu Bei had already converged and let Guan Yu resist in front, Liu Bei and Sima Fang came over to Chen Lin: "Bozhi, the situation is not good." There is a lot less subtlety, and he goes straight to the point, and as soon as he opens his mouth, it is the question that Chen Lin is also thinking about.
Chen Lin looked back and saw that it was Liu Bei, and said, "Xuande, are you okay?" Liu Bei shook his head, waved his hand and said: "Bozhi, it's only been two hours, and our army is like this, I'm afraid that when it gets dawn, if Li Zhiran's foot soldiers catch up, our army will be wiped out." Chen Lin frowned, Liu Bei had no confidence, and Sima Fang over there also looked at Liu Bei anxiously, afraid that he would have trouble with Chen Lin.
Chen Lin didn't get angry, and he didn't contradict it, after all, Liu Bei was the commander of the first army, if Liu Bei was a general under Chen Lin, Chen Lin could still punish him, and Liu Bei couldn't take Chen Lin's turn, so he didn't care about the frustration in Liu Bei's words. just said on a case-by-case basis: "Well, Li Zhiran's soldiers and horses are so strong, thinking that Chang'an City has been guarding under such an army for three months, Lu Fengxian and Zhang Wenyuan are very people." What's the trick for Wenhe? ”
At this time, Jia Xu deeply felt that in the face of absolute strength, all the conspiracies and tricks, military formations and so on, were all vulnerable, and 9,000 people faced 15,000 Xiliang soldiers, it was already very good to be able to do this, and the other party was still cavalry. If it weren't for the darkness and the terrain, Jia Xu would have suggested slipping away. Now, you can still fight a dozen, a decapitation operation. Jia Xu: "Lord, you see, Li Zhiran's army is all pressed in front of our army's formation, but there are about 1,000 people motionless two miles away. ”
Chen Lin couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Wenhe wants to raid Li Zhiran's headquarters? But where there are a thousand men, if they are the slightest slow, they will be surrounded by the enemy. When Sima Fang heard this, he also flashed his light, and he took the initiative to make a plan, he couldn't think of it, but I was afraid that Li Zhiran couldn't think of it, if there was a team of hundreds of people who didn't care about life and death to attack, maybe it would be uncertain, Jia Wenhe, it's not simple. Sima Fang then said: "Master Chen Zhoumu, I think Mr. Jia's plan is feasible. When Liu Bei heard this, he regained his fighting spirit and said: "Bozhi, this is the life and death of the two families, and Bei is also willing to select four hundred elite soldiers to withdraw from the battlefield behind our army, and go around behind Li Zhiran from the outside, and he will definitely be able to give him a fatal blow." ”
What else to say, Liu Bei agreed, and the strategists of the two families also thought it was feasible, so Chen Lin immediately ordered: "Okay, order Zhou Cang to come back, select and transfer 600 elite soldiers to go with him, and personally go to rob Li Zhiran's headquarters." Liu Bei, who was about to turn around and draw troops and horses, was stunned, I don't know whether he looked down on Chen Lin's reckless behavior or admired it, paused for a moment, and went back to greet Guan Yu, and Guan Yu was the leader of four hundred people.
Everyone persuaded hard, and in the end, Jia Xu understood Chen Lin, knowing that what others said was invalid, and it was estimated that only Huang Yan's words Chen Lin could listen to, and hurriedly shouted with Fa Zheng: "Filial piety, go and call Huang Yan, Huang Yan can persuade the lord." Fa Zheng hurried over, Huang Yan was commanding the army to fight, Huang Yan was very annoyed by the tall man covered in hair on the opposite side, what a black bear, if there is a chance, I Huang Yan will definitely ask you to become a dead bear.
Huang Yan saw Fa Zheng rushing over, and thought there was something big, so he hurriedly stepped back and asked, "Mr. Xiaozhi, why are you here, it's dangerous, go back quickly, go back quickly." Fa Zheng was in a hurry: "Commander Huang, the lord will personally lead the troops to assault the enemy's commander's banner." When Huang Yan heard this, he was first startled, and then smiled, this is the eldest young master, danger, hmph, Huang Yan forgot about the Xiliang soldiers who rushed forward in front of him, what danger is there to talk about now. shouted: "I understand what Mr. Xiaozhi means, he is worried about the danger of the eldest young master, does Mr. Xiaozhi know that if the eldest young master can rush out and go behind the enemy now, it will be much safer than staying here." ”
Fa Zheng is a smart person, when he heard it, he immediately understood what Huang Yan meant, yes, if the enemy breaks through the defense line, it will definitely be served in a pot, if Chen Lin can get out of the rear army, it will be a good thing, Fa Zheng then said no more, and secretly sighed that he was not enough for a guard commander to think thoughtfully when he was in danger.
Chen Lin went out to fight, 1,200 people suddenly attacked from behind, making a look like they were going to escape, Li Dao heard the return, hahaha laughed, thinking that Chen Lin was going to break through, because he saw Chen Lin and Liu Bei's banner. Huang Yan summoned a few people: "Go and tell the two commanders to listen to my orders." "Duan Yu and Liu Zhao are less than two hundred steps to the left and right of Huang Yan." Ask the three gentlemen to come over. ”
No one knew what Huang Yan was going to do, Jia Xu and Wei Fazheng invited Huang Yan over, and at this time, they saw that Chen Lin was about to rush out from the weak place behind him. Jia Xu: "Commander Huang, what is this?" Huang Yan glanced at Liu Bei in the distance, and then at Chen Lin, facing the enemy troops who were swarming up, Huang Yan said coldly: "As soon as the eldest young master rushes out, the enemy's base camp is attacked, and he will definitely lose his army and turn around to attack the eldest young master, at that time, we must rush over from the front no matter what, and create an opportunity for the eldest young master." ”
Give up Liu Bei, this is the first thing Jia Xu and the three of them thought of, the three of them are all smart people, knowing that Huang Yan's attention is to keep Liu Bei in the camp and attract the main force of the enemy army, but Huang Yan rushed forward, the camp must be empty, the enemy army can ignore Huang Yan for the sake of the camp, then Liu Bei in the camp is really attacked on all sides, but this is Huang Yan's only chance.
"Huang Yan must swear to protect the three gentlemen, the three gentlemen are the left shoulder and right arm of the eldest young master, there is no room for mistakes, Huang Yan's death is not a pity."
Jia Xu and the others finally know what true loyalty is, why Chen Lin has always trusted Huang Yan and his gang of people from Runan the most, so they have all played with Chen Lin since childhood, absolute loyalty, you can use your life to prove it, and now Huang Yan is ready for this.
As soon as Chen Lin left, Jia Xu and the others were think tanks, but the army would never listen to them, but to Huang Yan, even if they objected, it was useless, Huang Yan glanced ahead, only hoping that Chen Lin could succeed. Even if he can't kill Li Dao, at least he can run for his life, Chen Lin can't die here, this is the only thing Huang Yan wants.
