Chapter 179: What Should Be Done

"Order the banner soldiers, order Lei Tong's cavalry to retreat."

"Yes."

"Wang Xu, lead three thousand personal soldiers to fight between the two wings of the Jingzhou soldiers, and respond to the retreat of General Zhang Ren and the Dongzhou soldiers inside."

"Yes."

"It's amazing."

"The end will be."

Liu Zhang pressed his sword and ordered in a deep voice.

"Draw a white line fifty paces away, lead the remaining two thousand soldiers to guard the town, wait for Lei Tong's cavalry to retreat, and let them rest behind you."

"Well, who will protect you." Now that he is so powerful, he has the consciousness of being a personal guard, and he refuses to leave Liu Zhang half a step easily.

"If you are told to go, don't talk so much nonsense."

"Yes." It's so powerful, I went out with a sledgehammer.

Liu Zhang looked back at Xiao Furong, who had been standing behind him, frowning, his eyes flashed with a complicated light, Xiao Furong seemed to understand what he meant, nodded lightly, Liu Zhang turned around and said to Fa Zheng: "We will move the Shuai Tai forward a hundred steps." ”

"That's too dangerous......

Fa Zhenggang said four words, seeing Liu Zhang's resolute expression, he knew that Liu Zhang was making the last bet, if he ordered a retreat like this, it would definitely evolve into an unstoppable rout, and he would inevitably be killed by the Jingzhou soldiers, and then he could only be defeated all the way, defeated and retreated to Jiangling, and there was no doubt how many soldiers and horses were left, facing the attack of Jiangdong and Jingbei, the Sichuan army could only be defeated back to Yizhou sooner or later.

If that's the case, the Sichuan army will really never be able to enter Xiangyang City.

Liu Zhang is gambling with his life for luck.

"Yes." Fa Zheng bent down and bowed deeply.

"Retreat, retreat."

The soldiers of the Sichuan army who fell into a bitter battle were amnesty, ignoring the order of the generals to slowly retreat, turned around and fled, these are the soldiers who were placed in the rear, they are either the Jingzhou soldiers who have been recruited, or the recruits recruited by Yizhou.

Xu Shu commanded the two wings to the center to encircle, and wanted to wrap the Sichuan army generals and Dongzhou soldiers inside with the long snake formation, Xu Shu on the left, and Chen Sheng, the general of the Jingzhou army on the right, led the troops to the center to encircle, the Sichuan army was like a goose that was choked by the throat, and the pressure on the Sichuan army at the jaws increased sharply.

At this moment, Wang Xu led three thousand personal soldiers to fight in, holding on to the gap, these Liu Zhang's personal soldiers were the elite of the elite, and as soon as they were invested, they stabilized the situation of the two wings, and Xu Shu had to command more soldiers to encircle.

Under the orders of Zhang Ren and other generals, some Dongzhou soldiers slowly retreated, but more soldiers were entangled in the soldiers, stuck in the long snake array, unable to enter and exit, and were intercepted and killed one by one.

The whole Sichuan army retreated, especially the soldiers behind, who did not exchange a knife or a shot, but were frightened, like a lost dog losing his armor and throwing away his banner and weapons, and only ran away, not even looking at the case of the chief marshal not far away.

"Hiss~~"

A war horse's neighing came, so powerful to pull the reins of the green and black horse, the horse's head was high, the horse's neighing penetrated the eardrums, so powerful to hold the hammer and shouted: "All the Sichuan soldiers listen, those who cross this line, kill." ”

"Whoever crosses this line, kill."

Two thousand elite soldiers were arranged in front of a thick white line, and they stretched their bows and arrows behind the bunkers piled up by wooden carts, and their voices roared so loudly that they shook through the four fields in the noisy army, and the two thousand elite soldiers also roared in unison, and the Sichuan soldiers who fled were all one in one.

But feeling the crowd behind him, for fear of being crushed by the flow of people behind, the defeated soldiers poured towards the powerful defensive line.

"Shoot."

With a loud shout, two thousand elite soldiers fired arrows in unison, and the Sichuan army running in front fell under the sharp arrows of their allies, but the rout was like a flood of broken embankments, and it was no longer a rain of arrows that could deter it, and the defeated soldiers in the back continued to pour into the defensive line.

"Kill the one who crosses the line."

"Kill the one who crosses the line."

"Kill the one who crosses the line."

Two thousand soldiers fired three waves of arrows in a row, roaring in unison, and the defeated soldiers finally crashed into the defensive bunker, and the Dongzhou soldiers took out their spears and began a bloody assassination.

Liu Zhang stood on a high ground between the defensive line and the Jingzhou soldiers, watching the defeated soldiers in front of him retreat like a tide, listening to the roar of the powerful and two thousand elite soldiers, his face was numb, only a handsome flag fluttered on the high ground, Liu Zhang held a sword in his hand, and stood calmly under the banner.

Zhang Ren and the others will withdraw from the long snake formation with difficulty, everyone is bloody, and there are countless Dongzhou soldiers fighting in the array, but the two wings of the Jingzhou soldiers have been encircled, Wang Xu knows that if he does not retreat, he will inevitably fall into the encirclement, so he has to ruthlessly choose to abandon them, and the Dongzhou soldiers inside are destined to face the fate of destruction.

The Sichuan soldiers were defeated, and the corpses of the defeated soldiers had fallen in front of the white line, and the two thousand elite soldiers were still shouting: "Death to those who cross the line." ”

"Death to the one who crosses the line."

Wang Xu retreated, the two wings of the Jingzhou soldiers were closed, and the attack formation was organized to kill the Sichuan army, Xu Shu saw that the victory or defeat had been decided, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, the Xingchen Long Snake Formation was not so easy to place, and he planned for a long time, carefully arranged, and finally finished.

Xu Shu urged the war horse, retreated to the rear with ease, and ordered the Jingzhou generals to gather the Jingzhou soldiers who were beginning to retreat, and prepare to follow the Jingzhou soldiers in front to cover the kill.

The shouts of the tsunami in Jingzhou Bingshan came, covering the roar of the two thousand Sichuan army's elite soldiers, the Sichuan army's defeated soldiers stepped on the corpses of their comrades in front of the white line, and continued to rush into the defensive line composed of two thousand elite soldiers, they were afraid of the death in front, but the killing sound and the huge flow of people behind made them even more frightened, once defeated, they couldn't stop.

Killing each other, the expression on Fa Zheng's face was cloudy, Liu Zhang closed his eyes slightly, and only stood quietly.

The handsome flag is waving in the wind.

"These cowards." Fa Zheng said fiercely, he rarely scolded, this was the first time, those defeated soldiers fled all the way, preferring to run to the place of death on the white line, but they couldn't see Liu Zhang's handsome flag on the high ground, on one side was to flee, and on the other hand was to kill each other, Fa Zheng's heart was painful.

Liu Zhang was unmoved, he was waiting for the soldiers behind, the attack formation of the Sichuan army was strong in front and weak in the back, and now it was retreating, and the back was all elite, Liu Zhang believed that Zhang Ren's generals would see their handsome flags, and they used their lives to put down the handsome flags here, just to save the soul of the Sichuan army.

Liu Zhang believed that as long as the soul of the Sichuan army was preserved, it would inevitably make a comeback.

But in that case, even if the Sichuan army can stabilize its position, under the cannibalism, it will inevitably be defeated, to what extent, Liu Zhang does not know, there are still Lei Tongxie's cavalry behind the two thousand elite soldiers, if the defeated army breaks through the white line, the cavalry will charge, maybe in the end, there are only the elite soldiers of the rear team.

This was an unbearable pain, but Liu Zhang had to bear it.

Xiao Furong on the side looked at Liu Zhang, she didn't speak, but she knew that Liu Zhang, who was calm and calm, was in a cramp, and no commander wanted to see his army kill each other, let alone give an order from himself.

And the greater pain is that the defeated soldiers in the back are constantly flocking to the white line one after another.

Xiao Furong knew very well that if this continued, either these defeated soldiers would die, or the soldiers defending the white line and the cavalry behind would die.

Either way, it will make Liu Zhang's heart ache, and Xiao Furong feels that at this moment, she should do something.
