Chapter 346 Breaking through the siege to the death

Repentance or not is irrelevant.

At this moment, whether it is Jian Yong, who runs errands, or Liu Bei, who is in charge, they only have the right to decide, and no choice.

At three o'clock, the passionate sound of the horn pierced the morning light, and the smoke and dust rolled all over the sky, replacing the morning light, and rising with the morning sun.

To put it bluntly, it is the time agreed on the letter.

Jian Yong looked back and saw that the lord looked calm, but his eyes flashed with helplessness. He raised his hand silently, Guan Yu clenched his fists to receive the order, and went to arrange the breakthrough with great dignity.

bluffed at the head of the city, and then gathered the troops, the elite soldiers in front, the descendants and relatives in the center, and the mediocre ones in the back, all gathered at the north city gate.

This is also agreed in the letter, Wang Yu is like a god, and he controls all the aspects involved in this breakthrough battle. Whether they are friends or foes, they have become puppets in his hands, and there is no other way than to obey orders.

Liu Bei watched indifferently as Guan Yu gathered his troops and scattered a small number of old and weak and wounded soldiers among the people. Because of him, many people gathered in the Qingyuan area, and most of them came from Anping County.

Gongsun Chan left too quickly, although Shan Jing went south at the first time, but after all, he could not speak the same day as Gongsun Zhan, and the balance of strength in Anping was reversed in an instant, and the people of Bohai who entered Anping to harvest became helpless. So, when Liu Bei raised his arms, he suddenly had a very high appeal.

If it hadn't been scattered a lot by Cao Ren's rapid attack, the population of the city would have been even greater.

Originally, this was also an important bargaining chip for Liu Bei. Wang Yu is known for his benevolence, righteousness and love for the people, and the hungry people of Bohai came at his call, so they left it alone. It's a bit unreasonable. Although Yuan Shao was born in a high-ranking family, he regarded the people as mustard, but he was very face-conscious, Liu Bei thought to himself, if Wang Yu refused to come, as soon as Yuan Shao arrived, he would take the whole city of soldiers and civilians to surrender, and it should be no problem to save his life.

However, his plans were completely disrupted by Tai Shi Ci's raid.

Tai Shi Ci did not come. It is easier to find an excuse for his surrender, which can be said to be unfortunate and bewitched, or forced by the obscenity of the thieves, who are concerned about the safety of the people, so he has to strictly defend the city. Waiting for Mingjun Yunyun.

If it goes well, you can even make a high profile, such as declaring: As long as Yuan Shao protects the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the city, he is willing to be killed in front of the two armies. Otherwise, the soldiers and civilians of the whole city will inevitably live and die with Qingyuan, and fight to the last soldier.

This stairs are taken. Yuan Shao naturally has no reason to push the boat down the river.

It's a good story, it's famous, and it's usually spread through this kind of example. In addition, Cao Ren could not be attacked for a long time. As soon as Yuan Shao arrived, the enemy army bound himself to meet him, which could also greatly satisfy his vanity. Of course, through the Na Drop. Sweeping away the decline of previous repeated failures and invigorating the morale of the army. It is also not to be overlooked.

However, with Tai Shici's two raids, this method no longer worked.

Cao Ren and the generals of Jizhou are all battle-hardened generals, none of them are stupid, they can be said to be caught off guard yesterday, and today, it is impossible for them not to understand why Tai Shici came.

Failed to break through twice, and there was no excuse to find. Either they are deliberately planning to surrender, or they are incompetent to the extreme, and they can't break through like this.

No matter which one it is, it does not conform to Liu Bei's expectations, even if he surrenders to Yuan Shao, it is an expedient measure, and he will still have to find another opportunity to break away in the future, in order to save his life and ruin his reputation, this is not a good deal.

All in all, all the plans have come to naught, and next, I can only follow Wang Yu's command flag.

Tai Shici's tactics were the same as the day before, feinting to rush at the Cao army's array, Cao Ren didn't know if he didn't see through the enemy's intentions, or if he knew, he couldn't do anything, and his way of dealing with it was similar to the day before. Giving way to the walled wall that had no concealment effect, he retreated dozens of steps back and set up a shield formation, and before the enemy army could enter a hundred steps, even the routine long-range attacks stopped.

I can't shoot through that paper armor anyway, so why bother?

The Qingzhou elite cavalry did not hesitate, and still divided into two in front of the battle, roaring past, and burning the flames of war to all departments in Jizhou.

Seeing this, Liu Bei understood that Cao Ren didn't fail to see through Tai Shici's intentions, but he couldn't help it when he thought of it. Qingyuan City is not big, but after all, there are nearly ten miles in a radius, and the cavalry runs around it very lightly, but the foot soldiers can't follow it.

Of course, the two-legged ones can't outrun the four-legged ones, and even if they catch up, the formation will collapse, and they will mess up in front of the cavalry, isn't that sending them to death? The Cao army and the Jizhou army are only allies, not one family, and it is impossible to disrupt the system and enhance the strength of friendly forces. At most, the scope of the garrison will be adjusted as it is now, and the less important directions will be entrusted to the relatively weak troops.

As for the result, it can only be done to the best of our lives and obey the fate of God.

Seeing that the Qingzhou cavalry had already turned around, Liu Bei did not hesitate, and resolutely shouted: "Open the city gate and attack!" ”

"Whoa!" Guan Yu picked up his knife and got on the horse, and promised loudly.

With a piercing creak, the city gate slowly opened, and Guan Yu took the lead in killing it. Inspired by the second general, the morale of the former generals skyrocketed, and an earth-shattering shout of killing broke out, followed closely behind, and the morale was like a rainbow.

Liu Bei sighed and turned over on his horse, and then told Jian Yong: "Xianhe, you must follow closely, don't fall behind." ”

"I have the labor lord to worry about." Jian Yong's heart warmed, and he asked softly: "Although things are not satisfactory, but the breakthrough is imminent, after all, it is to escape from life, lie down and taste courage, there is always a chance to recover in the future, why does the lord sigh?" ”

"Hehe," the corners of Liu Bei's mouth moved slightly, revealing an indistinguishable wry smile, and said meaningfully: "The so-called conspiracy is nothing more than the law of harming others and benefiting oneself, Xianhe, you can watch it, if you can't understand all the mysteries in this battle, this way of scheming, you don't have to learn it." ”

With that, he pulled the reins with his left hand, drew his sword with his right hand, and shouted, "Come with me!" "Lead the descendants of the Chinese army and go out of the city.

Jian Yong seems to understand whether he understands or not, but he also knows that now is not the time to delay, and the most important thing to break through is to control time. At the beginning, taking advantage of the enemy's lack of preparation, he wanted to maximize the results of the battle as much as possible, and when the enemy army reacted and surrounded him, he could only keep his head down and run away desperately.

Supposedly, the breakout should be smooth.

In terms of ability and strength, Lu Kuang is not much stronger than his younger brother. Yesterday, Tai Shi Ci fought alone, and he was already like a bamboo, and today's two-sided attack must be smoother than yesterday. With the containment of Qingzhou Jingcai, even if Cao Ren organizes a pursuit, the threat should not be too great.

However, after the matter came to an end, Jian Yong understood why the lord had such an evaluation of himself, this way of scheming is really broad and profound.

Lu Kuang is far from being as incompetent as he imagined. For the flanking attacks inside and outside the city, he did not hurry to divide his troops into two ways.

The 2,000 men and horses of the front army erected a shield array, shrank on the spot, and let the arrow rain of Qingzhou's elite cavalry fall on their heads, but they had no intention of fighting back. The rear army turned to meet the attack in a good time, pounced viciously, and put on a posture of attacking head-on.

Obviously, he was prepared.

Lu Kuang's preparation was like this, and if you look at the entire besieging army, you will find that Cao Ren's preparation is much more than that. After seeing Guan Yu and Liu Bei's general flags, Lu Kuang quickly conveyed the battle situation to Cao Ren. Soon, there was a loud 'dong dong' sound in the direction of the south gate, it was a rush!

Needless to say, it was Gao Ran who began to attack the city.

Cao Ren himself was not idle, he abandoned the position at the east gate, and also began to divide his troops to fight. The brigade moved north, which should be to outflank and cut off Liu Beijun's way. The elite of the first battalion bypassed the city wall and joined the sniper battlefield, forming a two-sided attack with Lu Kuang's army.

Jian Yong realized that the imaginary momentum was like a bamboo, it didn't exist at all, and what he was about to face was a bitter battle, even a battle to the death, a decisive battle with no way out!

In the face of Lu Kuang's tightly defended turtle formation, the Qingzhou army that responded obviously had nothing to do, and the cavalry could not pose much threat to the turtle formation. The outcome of the Battle of Jieqiao also proved that the light cavalry's ability to attack fortifications was quite weak, even if the leader was a fierce general like Tai Shici, it would be useless.

The Qingzhou army can't rush over, so Liu Beijun can only rely on himself, counting on the other party's life and death to rush to respond, that's a pipe dream! Moreover, I can't blame the other party, people have already been here once yesterday, who told you not to follow at that time?

So far, everything is in vain, and I can only fight for my life.

is indeed desperate, Liu Bei has pressed the long-cherished elites to the front line.

This elite is what he started from the first year of Zhongping and has been accumulating to this day. It has nothing to do with official positions, this is the private soldier of the three brothers, who is in the front when fighting a good fight, and in the back when encountering a strong enemy. Every time a fierce battle is experienced, the remaining warriors will be selected and joined in it.

This army has no number, and it has not established a complete structure, and if it is not Liu Bei's henchman, it is impossible to know anything about this elite.

Over the years, although Liu Bei has experienced repeated setbacks and fought many defeats, this elite has been growing. From the original more than 100 people, to now, there are 500 people!

When Zhang Jaw was pursued in the plains and was ambushed and defeated, this elite and Guan Yu stayed in the plain city together; When Qingyuan was raided by Cao Ren, this elite also sat in the city; In the Battle of Jieqiao, Liu Bei led his army to snipe at the Jizhou Iron Cavalry, which was also in the center of the queue and was closely protected.

Jian Yong knew very well that Liu Bei didn't pay attention to recruiting the rabble who had rebelled, as long as this elite was undamaged, and no matter how many casualties the rabble had, he didn't care.

But now, not only Guan Yu rushed to the front line in the first place, but Liu Bei also personally led this army and rushed to the enemy position.

Is it self-interest to harm others? Indeed! forced out the lord's family background, and people can't say it, how can such a strategy not be convincing?
