In the early morning of the second day, Ao Lie's army was reorganized and ready to set off at any time.

With the attrition of the successive battles and the return of the county soldiers from all over the country, there were still 60,000 male soldiers under Ao Lie's command. There are 20,000 of Ao Lie's direct subordinates, and another 40,000 are Youzhou troops under Liu Yu's subordinates.

When Ao Lie gave an order, the 60,000-strong army once again faced the rising sun and embarked on the journey. What is different from the past is that this time on the march, there is one more thing in the army - the black martyr's monument, which is depicted with vermilion lacquer a dense string of names of people who have died in battle.

This is Ao Lie's proposition, fighting with the Loyal Martyrs' Monument, so that the soldiers under his command can always feel their responsibility, and they will always feel that those brothers who have died in battle are watching them behind them and spurring them forward.

Fat as outside the city, in the camp of the rebels. The news of the capture of Yuyang had already arrived, and Wei You sat behind the handsome case with a dead face, looking at the battle report in front of him, without saying a word, and the silence was a little terrifying.

After a long time, Wei You stood up suddenly, and said gloomily: "Order, the whole army will attack Feiru, and we must take Feiru today, so that our army has a barrier for self-protection, otherwise, once Ao Lie leads the army to come, we will die and have no place to be buried." ”

Under Wei You's order, the rebels quickly beat the war drums, and the excitement of the war drums stimulated every rebel and gave them the consciousness that if they didn't succeed, they would become benevolent.

In the fat city, a sergeant quickly reported the news that Gongsun Zhan was about to attack the city on a large scale. Gongsun Chan pressed the hilt of his sword, quickly gathered his generals, and went straight to the head of the fat city.

When Gongsun Chan and others arrived at the head of the city, the rebels had already lined up and seemed to be about to launch a general attack.

Gongsun Zhan frowned, and asked Liu Bei beside him: "Xuande, have you noticed it, the momentum of the rebels today seems to be a little different from the past." ”

Because of the siege of the rebels, the news that Zhang Ju was killed and Yuyang had been recovered had not yet reached the city, and everyone in the city did not understand why the momentum of the rebels suddenly became a little miserable.

Liu Bei pinched his short beard and said with some concern: "Yes, I don't know what kind of stimulus the rebels have received, and there is a great tendency to not stop if the city is not broken." ”

Zhang Fei said loudly: "It doesn't matter if he is imposing or not, when I come out and kill them, I will not leave a piece of armor!" "Since he got a team of cavalry from Ao Lie, Zhang Fei's confidence in speaking has begun to be rough, this fierce Zhang Fei dares to break through among the ten thousand armies single-handedly, not to mention that he now has his own troops?

Guan Yu hurriedly grabbed Zhang Fei and shouted: "The third brother can't make a mistake, and listen to the arrangement of Gongsun Taishou and the eldest brother." ”

Zhang Fei is a man who is not afraid of heaven and earth, the only thing he fears is his eldest brother Liu Bei, after hearing Guan Yu's words, he is no longer shouting, he turns his head to look at Liu Bei, as long as Liu Bei gives an order, he will immediately lead the army out of the city.

But what disappointed Zhang Fei was that Liu Bei was not Gongsun Zhan, and he couldn't be the master of the house. Besides, in the face of the surging rebels, Liu Bei had no intention of going out of the city to face the enemy at all. After a deep groan, Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Third brother, don't be reckless, now we can't figure out the situation of the rebels, let's take a look." ”

The drums of war were beating and stretching together. The rebels marched forward, and with the cheering of war drums, they approached the city of Fat Rucheng step by step. When they were fifty paces away from Feiru City, the rebels' ranks suddenly dispersed and reorganized, and a group of rebels carrying cloud ladders suddenly ran out of the array, and then accelerated their speed and ran towards the city wall of Feiru. This was followed by two groups of rebels holding the ram and heading straight for the gate of Fatru. The sword and shield bearers who were originally standing at the front of the queue all stopped, erected the big shields half a person high, and inserted them heavily into the ground, forming a very strong shield wall, which was obviously set up to block the elite cavalry under Gongsun Zhan. Behind the shield wall, large groups of rebels emerged, all armed with short knives and light leather armor, undoubtedly the main force of the siege.

Seeing the rebels under the city surging like a tide, Gongsun Zhan's anger finally broke out. As a Yan Zhao man, he was besieged and attacked by the rebels for more than ten days, and the anger in his heart had already flourished, and now he saw the rebels showing their carriages and horses, revealing a look that they were bound to conquer Feiru, and the anger in Gongsun Zhan's heart could no longer be endured.

Stretching out his hand and pulling out the Zhenyue sword, Gongsun Zhan said angrily: "Someone, spread the word that I will order the assembly of military horses, and today we will fight to the death with the rebels!" ”

After hearing Gongsun Zhan's words, Liu Bei's face changed several times one after another! Liu Bei has always been ambitious, but he is weak and pitiful, so there will be several times in history to hide in Tibet, upside down, people with great ambitions often cherish their own lives, Liu Bei saw Gongsun Chan want to fight a decisive battle with the rebels, which does not match his wishes, he doesn't want to lose his life easily, so he will change color.

Quickly organized the language in his mind, Liu Bei grabbed Gongsun Zan and persuaded: "The current form is that the enemy is outnumbered, and Brother Bogui, as the commander, must not be angry." ”

Throwing off Liu Bei's arm, where can Gongsun Chan still listen? If Liu Bei hadn't strongly advocated waiting until Tianming was out of the city to fight, how could Wei Yu have successfully besieged the city? has endured for many days, Gongsun Zhan didn't want to endure it anymore, and shouted angrily: "Xuande! Liu Bei! If you still care about your classmates, you will go out of the city with a certain kill today; If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, it may be better for you to go out of the city to fight! ”

was told by Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei's face was blue and red for a while, and he was speechless. Zhang Fei on the side was already furious, he loved Liu Bei very much, how could he tolerate Gongsun Zhan's cynicism? was about to have a seizure right now, but fortunately, Guan Yu was quick to catch Zhang Fei and motioned to Zhang Fei to calm down for the time being and not to interject.

Seeing that Liu Bei was muttering and not speaking, Gongsun Zhan was not bothering Liu Bei, and went down to the city to gather military horses. Seeing Gongsun Chan turn around and walk down the city, Zhang Fei's black face turned purple with anger, and he roared and shouted, "What does this mean? Do you think our brothers are greedy for life and afraid of death? ”

"That's it! Don't say it again, Brother Bogui is right, I'm afraid of death. Liu Bei interrupted Zhang Fei's roar.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei dumbfounded at the same time, they didn't understand how the eldest brother, who had always been in awe, could say the phrase greed for life and fear of death.

Liu Bei said with a wry smile: "The Great Han Dynasty is crumbling, and the foolish brother, as a member of the Han family, must not die here." We want to leave a useful body in order to reorganize our great Han country in the future. The temporary burden of forbearance and humiliation is so insignificant compared to the entire Han Dynasty. ”

These words are beautiful, and they say that fleeing for their lives is a strategic shift. Originally, Liu Bei's idea was to make miraculous achievements and obtain a relatively high official position at the critical moment of quelling the rebellion, but now it seems that Gongsun Zhan is already difficult to protect himself, and the words he said before he went to the city show that he has a lot of resentment towards Liu Bei, and he will definitely not believe in Liu Bei so much in the future, which prompts Liu Bei to be distracted.

Liu Bei's words calmed the emotions of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, although they did not very agree with the practice of escaping, but Liu Bei was right, only by saving his life first, can he revive the Han Dynasty in the future, if his life is lost now, what will he talk about in the future? So the two stopped arguing, and went down the city wall with Liu Bei and walked in the other direction.

For the time being, I won't talk about the whereabouts of Liu Bei's three brothers, after Gongsun Zhan went down to the city, he gathered people and horses, and was about to go out of the city to fight the rebels to the death, when a small colonel ran over and reported: "General, there are two groups of men and horses outside the city who are rushing to kill the two wings of the rebels." ”

When Gongsun Chan heard this, he ordered the cavalry to stand by, and then quickly turned around and returned to the city.

The battlefield outside the city was already a little chaotic at this time, and the rebel siege echelon had temporarily stopped attacking the city and ran to the two wings to support. On the two flanks of the rebels, thousands of men and horses were fighting with the rebels, and the rebels did not expect that someone would attack the two wings at such a critical moment, and they suddenly fell into an unprepared panic.

Gongsun Chan looked into the distance at the top of the city, and saw that it was Gan Ning, the commander of the naval army under Ao Lie, who was rushing to kill on the left flank of the rebels, and Gan Ning was leading 3,000 naval troops and the rebels to meet each other at this moment; And in the right-wing fight, looking at the banner, it should also be under the command of Ao Lie, but the young general Gongsun Zhan who is the leader does not recognize it, but he recognizes a strong man who follows behind this young general, Cheng Pucheng Demou, a right-right Beiping person who has been away from his hometown for many years and has been far away from Jiangdong. After seeing these two people, Gongsun Zhan's first feeling was that Mo Hanxian's brother was reliable, much stronger than Liu Xuande, who was full of benevolence and morality. When Gongsun Chan returned to the city, he didn't see the three brothers of Liu Bei, so he knew that Liu Bei must have led the crowd to leave, and the love of classmates for many years was gone.

Without the extra mind to pay attention to where Liu Bei went, Gongsun Zhan stood on the city wall and carefully observed the battle under the city, and he found that because of the attack of these two people, the rebel formation was chaotic, and the border between the two wings and the Chinese army was broken. Gongsun Zhan, who had experienced a hundred battles, quickly caught this flaw, turned back to his fellow brother Gongsun Yue and said: "Second brother, you quickly lead the white horse to fight diagonally from the east gate, bypass the rebels' shield array, and directly attack Wei You's Chinese army!" ”

Gongsun Yue took the order and left.

It didn't take long for Gongsun Yue to come out of the east gate diagonally with the elite cavalry of the White Horse Yicong and rush to the battlefield. Gongsun Zhan saw very clearly at the head of the city, because of the containment of the two wings, the rebels' Chinese defense was very lax, and Gongsun easily broke through the rebels' front army and killed Wei You's Chinese army.

Wei You still has the style of a general, and when he saw Gongsun Yue coming in chaos, he was not surprised, and commanded the rebels to lay layers of defense in front of the Chinese army to resist Gongsun Yue's sneak attack. Gongsun Yue led the White Horse Yi Cong with the help of the impact of the war horse, in one fell swoop to the rebel army, was about to make a contribution, but was blocked by Wei You, who reacted in time, in the stalemate battle, Gongsun Yue and others' war horse impact was quickly exhausted, and could only fight against the rebels. In this way, Gongsun Yue quickly fell into passivity, after all, Baima Yicong was in the elite, and there were only a few thousand people, and the rebels had tens of thousands of people to protect the Chinese army.

On a battlefield, there was a three-way fight at the same time, which seemed chaotic. From time to time, someone is stabbed and falls from a horse, or is pierced by a cold arrow in the throat. The shouts and screams of the people are also incessant, often followed by a scream. The two very different sounds are perfectly blended together, intertwined into a tragic music.
