Chapter 165: The brave wins
Li Dian is 28 years old.
According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Cao Cao attacked Dong Zhuo, Li Dian followed Cao Cao and fought in the east and west.
In fact, Li Dian originally followed his father Li Qian to serve Cao Cao. During the battle between Cao and LΓΌ, Li Gan was killed by Xue Lan and Li Feng, the general under LΓΌ Bu, because he refused to surrender. Later, Li Dian helped his cousin Li Quan kill the enemy to take revenge, but soon after, Li Quan died in battle.
Cao Cao commemorates Li Gan's father and son, worships Li Dian as the fox Taishou and Zhonglang general.
Historically, Li Dian was in charge of logistics and transportation until the Battle of Bowangpo, which was officially on the front line.
Now, Li Dian went to the front line ahead of schedule.
Although he is also experienced in a hundred battles, after all, before that, he went out as a deputy general and has never had the experience of leading an army alone.
This time, he was ordered to encircle Liu Chuang, and he was quite careful along the way.
Liu Chuang's name, he is not unfamiliar.
Since Liu Chuang established himself in Qingzhou, Li Dian has paid great attention to Liu Chuang's movements.
Li Dian knew that Liu Chuang's courage was unparalleled. So from the very beginning, he didn't dare to take it lightly.
He ordered his brother Li Sheng to lead the vanguard army to attack first, intending to cut off Liu Chuang's way south before Liu Chuang was aware of it. However, Li Dian did not expect that after Lu Zhu's counterattack made Liu Chuangshun seize Tan County, he immediately sent Xiong Zhen's army south to block the enemy.
It was late autumn and the weather was getting colder.
Li Sheng's troops encountered Gao Shun on the bank of the Yishui River, and the two sides immediately started a tragic battle.
After Li Dian learned the news, he immediately raised 8,000 troops to help. Liu Chuang's soldiers and horses appeared in Yishuitan, indicating that Liu Chuang had seen the flaws. And if he does not retreat north and continues to move south, it means that Zang Ba has captured Jiqiu. It cut off Liu Chuang's way to retreat north.
At the same time, Zhu Ling led his troops to Xiangben and stationed troops on the west bank of Yishui.
Li Dian knew very well in his heart that if he couldn't stop Liu Chuang. Once Liu Chuang breaks out, it will inevitably pose a huge threat to Cao Cao.
"Pass my order, and the three armies will attack. Be sure to delay the thief until dark. β
By the time it got dark, the vanguard army of Zang Ba and Zhu Ling would surely be able to reach Yishui Beach.
Li Dian didn't dare to slack off at this time, and after arriving at the battlefield, he immediately ordered the three armies to attack and launch a fierce attack on Xiong Zhen's army.
After a year and a half of training, Xiong Zhenjun's combat strength is amazing.
Gao Shun rode on a horse, holding a sword. The face sank like water. Appears extremely calm.
He kept giving orders. Groups of Xiong Zhenjun rushed into the battlefield and cut Cao's army into several sections. But he never refused to send out the cavalry, even though Xu Chu repeatedly asked him for his life. Gao Shun still suppressed the 600 cavalry army in the rear army, which made Xu Chu feel extremely unhappy.
"Filial piety. Why won't you let me attack? β
Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "Cao's army is not in chaos, and Li Dian obviously has a back hand that has not been used.
Zhong Kang, the cavalry in your hands is the most elite sergeant I have now, if you attack at this time, even if you win, it will be a miserable victory, and you will inevitably suffer great losses.
Flying bear rides, but the emperor's uncle values the most. β
Xu Chu was also speechless when he heard it.
Gao Shun is not wrong, the flying bear cavalry in his hand can be described as the most elite cavalry in Liu Chuang's hands, and there are hundreds of enemies in the army, even if one person is lost, it will make people feel heartache. However, seeing that Cao's army was attacking fiercely, but he was not allowed to attack, Xu Chu was a little unbearable in his heart after all.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Li Dian was also a little surprised when he was supervising the battle in the Chinese army.
The two sides have been fighting for nearly half an hour, and judging from the combat power displayed by Xiong Zhenjun, it is obvious that the other party still has a backup move that has not been used.
"Who knows, who will be on the other side?"
The generals around him looked at each other, but no one could answer.
For a long time, a young general said: "It is rumored that the thieves sent troops this time, and only brought Xu Chu and Xu Sheng, two generals, presumably one of them." β
Li Dian frowned slightly, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: I never thought that there would be such a general in the thief army.
Fortunately, he was at the best of his ability this time, otherwise he would have suffered a defeat......
Just when Li Dian was surprised by the combat effectiveness of Xiong Zhen's army, a report suddenly came from the Malay: "Li Zhonglang, the thieves have led their troops to abandon the city and are rapidly approaching Yishui Beach, please Li Zhonglang make a decision quickly." β
This news came into his ears, which made Li Dian feel a sigh in his heart.
"How many thieves are there?"
"Look at that posture, it should be in the ...... of six or seven thousand people"
Li Dian couldn't help but hesitate a little when he heard this.
He knew that if Liu Chuang's main force arrived, the battle situation would probably change.
"Pass my orders, and the cavalry will attack."
In Li Dian's hands, he still has a cavalry army.
Seeing that Liu Chuang's main force was about to arrive, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered the cavalry to attack.
However, at the moment when Li Dian's cavalry attacked, Gao Shun also issued an order, and the Flying Bear rode to attack......
Xu Chu took the lead and led the flying bear to ride into the battlefield.
This flying bear ride can be said to have condensed all of Liu Chuang's hard work.
Six hundred flying bears ride, horses are armored, people are armored, all spears and swords, when they run, they are like a sea of fire rolling, which is terrifying.
Han Shang is red, so the flying bear riders are all fiery red armor, fiery red horse armor, and fiery red robes.
Even the spear was painted red, and from a distance, it looked like a flame.
Cao's army was forced to retreat again and again by Xiong Zhen's army, and when he saw his cavalry dispatching, he couldn't help but boost his morale. Before their joy vanished, the Flying Bear Rider appeared in front of them. Xu Chu danced the nine-ring golden-backed broadsword, the knife cloud rolled, and where he passed, Cao Jun was killed and turned over on his back.
Even if Li Dian's cavalry rushed into the battlefield, it could not stop the impact of the flying bear cavalry.
Xu Chu slashed six Cao generals in a row on his horse, and his fiery red robe was soaked in blood, becoming even more bewitching in the sun.
At the same time, Gao Shun ordered the entire Xiong Zhen army to attack.
In an instant, the Yishui beach seemed to be covered by a sea of fire...... Under the leadership of Gao Shun and Xu Chu, although Li Dian's forces had the advantage, he retreated again and again, seeing that he could no longer resist Xiong Zhen's army.
Distance. Dust and smoke billowed up.
It is obviously Liu Chuang's main force and is about to arrive.
Seeing this form, Li Dian also knew that he couldn't resist it, so he hurriedly ordered the troops to be withdrawn. Xiang Wuyuan quickly retreated.
When Liu Chuang's troops arrived, the battle had come to an end. On the beach of the Yishui River, corpses are everywhere, and the Xiong Zhen army is making the final attack.
Liu Chuang immediately ordered. Xu Sheng and Xiahou Lan led the Flying Bear Guard into the battlefield.
Flying Xiongwei, like the last straw that broke the camel's back, with the addition of Xiahoulan and Xu Sheng, Cao's army was completely defeated and stopped resisting.
However, Li Dian had already led the main force and withdrew from the battlefield.
Liu Chuang leed his horse on the river beach, glanced at the battlefield, and said in a deep voice: "Command filial piety." Hugh had to pursue.
Quickly clear the battlefield. After putting away the horses. Evacuate the Yishui River beach. Before dark, we must lead our troops to Liangcheng...... Hengruo, Zhongkang. β
"Whoa!"
"You two lead the flying bear to ride. Set off first and rush to Liangcheng. β
Liangcheng County. That is, Pi County, Xuzhou in later generations, and it is also the only way to go south to Xiapi.
Liu Chuang had already regained his composure at this time, and he knew that although he had repelled Li Dian, it did not mean that the danger had passed.
Zang Ba and Zhu Ling had already led their troops to arrive, and once they learned the news that they had broken through, they would definitely follow and pursue...... If it was in normal times, Liu Chuang wouldn't mind fighting Cao Jun again. But the current situation is not suitable for him and Cao Jun to fight a decisive battle. After all, the lone army was deep and Fang had experienced the defeat of Jiqiu, and the morale of the sergeants was not high. In particular, the 3,000 soldiers and horses under Lu Zhu are now in a state of instability, and Gen does not have any combat effectiveness, let alone a decisive battle with Cao's army on the bank of Yishui.
Occupy Liangcheng first, and then echo Xiapi, and then be invincible.
After the sergeants stabilized the morale of the army, they were able to fight a decisive battle with Cao's army.
For this loss...... Yes, in Liu Chuang's view, he has failed to send troops this time.
According to Liu Chuang's original plan, he could use Donghai County to contain Cao Cao's forces and make it impossible for him to attack Xiapi with all his strength. As long as he can hold out for two or three months, Cao Cao will automatically withdraw his troops if he is short of food and grass. At the same time, Liu Chuang had sent people to Jiangdong to ask Sun Ce to send troops.
In short, he wanted to take this opportunity to keep Xiapi, but now it seems that ......
Since ancient times, marching and fighting have been to keep the enemy out.
Liu Chuang really couldn't understand why Lu Bu abandoned Pengcheng and chose to fight Cao Jun in Xiapi.
You must know that once Pengcheng is lost, Xiapi will be a lonely city.
Where did Lu Bu get the confidence that he could defeat Cao's army outside Xiapi City?
Anyway, Lu Bu's mind couldn't understand......
In the first battle of Yishuitan, Xiong Zhen's army killed nearly 2,000 Cao's troops.
However, the losses of Xiong's army were also huge, with more than 300 people lost.
When Liu Chuang confirmed the number, he couldn't help but gasp and felt very heartbroken.
Three hundred for two thousand, it seems good. But the problem is that these three hundred people are the elite in Liu Chuang's hands.
Xiong's army added up to only more than 3,000 people, and the loss of one-tenth of this battle was one-tenth. This is really sad for Liu Chuang......
Come, he plans to contain Cao's army by attacking and harassing after capturing Tan County.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in Xuzhou, he had a decisive battle with Cao Jun, and the losses were quite heavy.
However, no matter how heartbroken it is, he must continue to go south, because this is Liu Chuang's only way to survive at present...... After arriving at Xiapi and meeting Lu Bu, you must find a way to merge the trapped camp over. Otherwise, the losses of this expedition to Xuzhou would have been too great......
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It's just that Liu Chuang never expected that the road to the south would be so difficult.
When he quickened his speed and approached Liangcheng, Liu Bei's troops and horses had crossed Yishui and quickly advanced towards Liangcheng County.
When Xu Chu Xiahou Lan Flying Bear rode to the foot of Suyang Mountain, it was just dark.
As long as you cross Suyang Mountain, you can reach Liangcheng County. Who knows, just when Xu Chu was about to cross Suyang Mountain, a troop of soldiers and horses suddenly broke out from the flank and blocked Xu Chu's way.
After Zhang Fei crossed the Yishui, he also chose the Suyang Mountain Trail.
The two teams looked at each other, Zhang Fei was stunned on the horse, and after he saw the banner of the other sergeant clearly, he immediately reacted.
Liu Chuang actually fought his way out of the encirclement?
Zhang Fei was shocked, and even felt an inexplicable excitement.
Last year, Liu Chuang killed him in Xiapi and fled. This hatred has always been kept in his heart.
Now that Liu Chuang is in trouble, it is a good opportunity for him to take revenge...... Zhang Fei is not the kind of person who talks about rules, seeing that Liu Chuang's soldiers and horses are ahead. He could still hold back the killing intent in his heart. Not to mention, the other party's troops and horses are obviously heading for good success, and they can't let go of each other.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fei did not hesitate. Urging the horse to rush towards Xu Chu.
"The thieves are leaving, the three generals of your family are here, waiting for a long time."
This is an encounter, an encounter in which neither Xu Chu nor Zhang Fei is prepared.
Not only were they unprepared, but the sergeants on both sides were equally unprepared.
Zhang Fei rushed towards Xu Chu, Xu Chu was not ambiguous, and rushed towards Zhang Fei without saying a word. At this time, the sergeant appeared here. It can't be your own soldiers. Xu Chu didn't recognize Zhang Fei at first. But I heard him scream. immediately remembered the identity of the other party.
"The generals of the defeated army dare to be rampant."
With a bang, the nine-ring gold-backed broadsword in Xu Chu's hand drew a strange bright sword. slashed at Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear spear in the air.
There was a loud bang, and Sha Lifei and the black horse neighed at the same time. Dada da took a few steps back.
Xu Chu only felt that his arm was numb, and he couldn't help but praise it secretly in his heart.
And Zhang Fei's situation is similar, and he even suffered a little loss...... It is no wonder that Xu Chu was immediately equipped with high saddle stirrups, while Zhang Fei did not have such auxiliary equipment. Once the two clashed, Zhang Fei almost fell off his horse, and he was even more secretly surprised in his heart.
"Who is you, dare to use your name?"
"A certain Xu Chu is a Zhonglang general under the emperor's uncle...... Black charcoal head, the last time the emperor uncle spared your life in Xiapi, this time you don't want to live. β
Xu Chu scolded and stepped forward.
Zhang Fei was furious in his heart, and he was defeated, but the shame in his heart was difficult to wash.
Xu Chu poked Zhang Fei's sore spot as soon as he opened his mouth, how could Zhang Fei give up? He roared angrily, greeted each other with a spear, and fought with Xu Chu in one place.
It's just that after Zhang Fei was entangled by Xu Chu, he commanded 2,000 soldiers, but no one commanded him.
And the flying bear rides here, and there is also a Xia Houlan.
Seeing that the Cao army was leaderless, Xiahou Lan didn't say a word, urged the horse and rushed to the Cao army, and behind him, the flying bear rider also launched an overwhelming offensive and fought with the Cao army.
Zhang Fei was entangled by Xu Chu, and Cao Jun was suddenly confused.
Although this Cao army also has a lot of cavalry, it is still dominated by infantry troops.
In the face of the attack of the Flying Bear Rider like a storm, Cao's army was soon unable to resist and retreated.
Zhang Fei saw that his troops were invincible, and he was also anxious.
However, Xu Chu's martial arts are not inferior to him, not to mention, with the help of high saddle stirrups, Zhang Fei soon fell behind.
Xu Chu saw that Zhang Fei was invincible, and immediately fought a spiritual battle.
The sound of the nine-ring golden-backed broadsword in his hand was constant, and the big knife danced more and more urgently, drawing out one after another, slipping, and arcing, killing Zhang Fei in a hurry.
At this time, Guan Ping led a group of men and horses to come from the rear.
Seeing that Zhang Fei was in a bitter battle, Guan Ping didn't say a word, and entered the battlefield with his military horse.
He saw Xiahou Lan rampage among the Cao army, killing the Cao army and retreating again and again, so he raised his knife and urged the horse to block Xiahou Lan.
These two people are both generals in the Qi cultivation realm.
It's just that Xia Houlan has been seven or eight years since her debut in the first year of Chuping.
He has been instructed by a famous teacher, and he has experienced a hundred battles, and he only has rich experience in fighting, which is far from being comparable to Guan Ping.
After more than ten rounds of fighting with Guan Ping, Guan Ping was a little unable to resist. He blocked left and right on the horse, but the silver-scaled spear in Xiahoulan's hand was as elusive as a poisonous snake, and Guan Ping was sweating. After more than 20 rounds of fighting, Guan Ping was out of breath.
When the second horse was pedaling, Xia Houlan suddenly used the rhinoceros to look at the moon, and the silver scale gun fell in his hand, and the gun was already used as a stick, and the backhand snapped at Guan Ping's back. This shot made Guan Ping's back armor leaves fly wildly, his throat was sweet, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood, rolled the saddle and fell off the horse.
Xiahou Lan was about to take Guan Ping's life with a gun, but he heard Zhang Fei roar angrily: "The thief will not hurt my nephew." β
Zhang Fei didn't look down on Guan Yu, and even had conflicts with Guan Yu.
But in terms of character, his character is not bad...... Anyway, Guan Ping called him the third uncle. Seeing Guan Ping's danger, how could Zhang Fei stand by and watch. After the Zhangba snake spear spear shot three times in a row to force Xu Chu back, Zhang Fei patted his horse back and pounced on Xiahoulan.
As soon as Xia Houlan saw it, she immediately abandoned Guan Ping and greeted him with a gun.
It's just that although Xiahou Lan's courage is not bad, she is far from Zhang Fei after all.
Even if he has the advantage of high saddle stirrups, he is still inferior to Zhang Fei. Only three or five were killed, and Zhang Fei was killed and retreated.
Fortunately, Xu Chu came on a horse and stopped Zhang Fei.
But in the blink of an eye, Cao Jun had already stepped forward to rescue Guan Ping.
At the foot of Suyang Mountain, there are more and more military horses on both sides.
Not long after, Chen Zhi led the elite soldiers of Baiwei to arrive and quickly stabilized his position.
Immediately after, Xu Sheng also led nine hundred flying bear guards to appear on the battlefield...... After Liu Bei got the news, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly supervised the front army, and rushed to Suyang Mountain to help in the battle.
When he led Guan Yu to Suyang Mountain, it was already completely dark.
At the foot of Suyang Mountain, torches were lit, and shouts of killing came and went......
Liu Chuang and Gao Shun supervised Xiong Zhenjun, and after arriving at the battlefield, they were also very surprised to hear that Cao Jun was blocking the road in front.
However, when he saw Liu Bei's banner clearly, he also had a strong killing intent...... Liu Bei, this guy will appear here? There is no doubt that he has come to kill himself. If this guy occupies Liangcheng, then Liu Chuang today may not be able to escape his bad luck.
"Zizhong, you lead your troops, be sure to quickly pass through Suyang Mountain and occupy Liangcheng County.
Xiaogong, you command the soldiers and horses, and attack the Cao army's soldiers and horses from the flank, I will go to understand Liu Xuande's means. β
Liu Chuang knew very well that he must not drag on with Liu Bei here for too long, and he must fight quickly.
Behind him, there were chasing soldiers in hot pursuit, and in front of him, Liu Bei led his troops to stop him...... There is a way to meet on a narrow road, and the brave wins, and now is the time to fight for your life.
Thinking of this, Liu Chuang no longer hesitated, and rushed to the battlefield as soon as he urged his crotch to resemble a dragon horse, holding a coiled dragon eight-tone vertebrae.
"Liu Xuande, Liu Chuang is here, take your life!"
With a roar, he slaughtered into the chaos.
The eight-tone spine of the coiling dragon danced, and suddenly set off a bloody rain.
Although Sergeant Cao Jun was all vying for the lead, no one could stop Liu Chuang's footsteps.
The elephant dragon horse is like a tiger descending from the mountain, hissing endlessly, kicking and colliding along the way, and no one can stop it......
In the distance, under the big sword, Guan Yu sat on the horse with a knife in his hand.
When he saw Liu Chuang clearly, Danfeng's eyes closed slightly, and he urged the horse to rush out.
Guan Yu's mount, although it is not a good horse, is also a good horse in a hundred, and it is extremely fast.
In the blink of an eye, Guan Yu arrived in front of Liu Chuang, and as soon as the big knife in his hand was closed, it slashed out with a buzz, like a flash of lightning.
"Liu Chuang, take your life!"
