Chapter 549: Xuzhou Pacification (4)
Zhang Liao's appearance surprised Yuan Shang, he really didn't expect this guy to suddenly appear at this time.
It's not that Zhang Liao's appearance will pose any threat to this battle, but it is precisely because of his appearance that he can no longer control the current overall situation, so Yuan Shang is very surprised. According to Zhang Liao's wisdom, Yuan Shang thought that since he did not appear on the battlefield with Li Dian and Le Jin, it meant that he had realized that the battle for Xuzhou was no longer hopeful for Cao Jun, according to Yuan Shang's idea, the most important thing Zhang Liao should do now is not to appear in this battlefield, but to entangled soldiers and horses to return to Yanzhou, preserve strength for Cao Jun, and make the last decisive battle with Yuan Jun in Zhongzhou Weidi.
Yuan Shang's side, Wang Shuang rode to Yuan Shang's side and said, "Lord, according to your opinion, what should we do when Zhang Liao comes here?" ”
Yuan Shang thought for a while with his eyes half-closed, and said: "Zhang Liao is here, it is difficult to become a big weapon, this battle has become a general trend, Dongwu will inevitably be expelled by our army, Li Dian and Le Jin and others will also be eaten by our army, he is just going through the motions, showing off a fancy show, let him go, I want to see what tricks he can play." ”
It was at this time that on the side of Eastern Wu, Zhou Yu had already issued an order to withdraw his troops under the promise of Sun Quan, and with the cross-cutting instructions of the banners and the sound of gold in the camp of the Eastern Wu Central Formation, the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu began to rely on the front line with strong bows and crossbows and shield giants, and began to slowly shrink to the rear, showing a trend of stubborn migration, and the soldiers and horses in the camp who supervised the baggage began to move backwards, and the tents and some light baggage in the camp have been abandoned.
Looking at the movements of the Eastern Wu soldiers from afar, Xiao Ji couldn't help frowning, and said: "Sun Quan and Zhou Yu of Eastern Wu, how can they have the intention of retreating halfway through the battle, and even the tent baggage of the big camp has to be cut down, what kind of trick is this?" ”
Yuan Shang touched his chin and said with a smile: "They didn't play any tricks. This is to understand the advance and retreat, the current situation, according to Zhou Yu's thoughts, with the loss of the support of Cao Jun, it is not beneficial to fight with us now, at best, it is an empty fold of troops, and a little baggage is not a big deal, it is better to retreat to the mouth of the river, slowly retreat, and preserve strength. It is better to stabilize Koto. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Ji suddenly said, "Since this is the case, should we beat the water dogs?" ”
Yuan Shang smiled when he heard this: "Although I never let go of the opportunity to beat the water dog, the problem is that the current Dongwu is not a complete water dog, they just see that this place is useless and temporarily retreat, at best, it can only be regarded as a lost dog, or not to provoke." ”
Xiao Ji seemed to be a little incomprehensible: "It's the same dog." The dog can fight, but the dog that lost his family can't chase it? ”
Yuan Shang nodded when he heard this, and said, "Of course, although the dog who lost his family is mourned. But the fighting spirit is still there, and a bad counterattack to bite you is enough to choke, but the dog that falls into the water has no fighting spirit and morale. It's basically a scum with a combat power value of 5......"
Speaking of this, Yuan Shang raised his hand and pointed at the remnants of the army led by Li Dian and Le Jin from afar. Said: "It's like the current Cao Jun...... The three armies were ordered that if Eastern Wu wanted to withdraw, they would let it withdraw, but they did not need to be soft on Cao Jun, and left Li Dian and Le Jin to me. ”
"No!"
With the migration of the battlefield situation, the situation in the field began to change gradually, the retreat of the Eastern Wu army did not make the Yuan army use all its strength to pursue, but was able to concentrate more troops to besiege Li Dian and Lejin, under the advantages of the other, the Yuan army's combat power began to gradually compress the Cao army, and the gap between the Cao army in the battlefield was only the tip of the iceberg.
Li Dian and Le Jin's soldiers were fighting fewer and fewer, and the situation was in danger, and it was at this time that Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses were killed to the outskirts of Yuan's army.
At this moment, in the outlying places, Ma Yan, a member of the Yuan army, was already guarding the outside of the formation, and when he saw Zhang Liao, he saw Ma Yan stepping forward with a gun, raising his arm, pointing at Zhang Liao and shouting.
"Zhang Liaopifu, it's not about advancing or retreating, you dare to come here, the land of Xuzhou is no longer owned by you, don't you go back to Xuchang as soon as possible, do you dare to stay here and don't want to die?"
Zhang Liao's face was cold, he stared at Ma Yan quietly, and said: "In the land of Xuzhou, the general doesn't want to stay longer, but if the general leaves, he has to wait for Li Dian and Le Jin to return together." I hope you will make it convenient. ”
Ma Yan couldn't help but be angry when he heard this.
"Zhang Liao, do you think this battlefield was opened by your family? You can come when you want, you can go when you want, I bah! Don't say it's the two generals Li and Le, even you, don't want to stay here today...... Watch me kill you! ”
Ma Yan regarded himself as the general of the Yuan army, although he had heard of Zhang Liao's prestige, but he did not think so, he held himself a little brave, he was not afraid of Zhang Liao, and stood up to compete with him.
Zhang Liao was not in a hurry, slowly hit the horse forward, saw Ma Yan killing, raised the long knife in his hand and held it with him for a few rounds, and had a number of opponents' strength in his heart, and then suddenly his eyes were exposed to cold light, and he suddenly raised his knife and slashed it with all his strength against Ma Yan's head, and at the same time shouted: "If you want to die, I will fulfill you!" ”
Unexpectedly, Zhang Liao changed his move so quickly, and suddenly made a dead move, Ma Yan was startled, and he had no time to parry in a hurry, so he had to withdraw and retreat. Zhang Liao pursued the situation, and then Ma Yan's retreating empty plane shouted to his subordinates around him: "Up! Fight into the enemy's ranks! ”
Zhang Liao retreated from the enemy with a sword, which made his soldiers more confident, and the fighting spirit burned in their chests, and they followed one by one shouting loudly, Ma Yan ordered to pull back into the military formation, and Zhang Liao took advantage of the fluctuation of his retreat and killed it in one fell swoop. The end is that people block and kill, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha.
Zhang Liao's army set off a bloody storm on the front line of the field, which immediately attracted the attention of the generals of the other battle points of the Yuan army, and the first to react was Zhang Yan, who was closer to the place of Zhang Liao's massacre, and went first to block his edge.
It didn't take long for Zhang Yan to collide with Zhang Liao head-on, and the two were also old enemies, they didn't know how many times they had met on the battlefield in the past, and they knew each other well, so they didn't say much nonsense, and they fought on the head.
Zhang Liao was unstoppable, menacing, the two horses intersected, grabbed the round arm, and aimed at Zhang Yan's head, which was a vicious knife.
Zhang Yan did not back down, waved the knife hard, and with a crisp sound of "poof", Zhang Liao did not move in place, and Zhang Yan shook twice on the horse. It's not that he is taking the initiative to show weakness, but his body is indeed a little weak, just now he fought against Ding Feng, the young general of Eastern Wu, in the battle with Dongwu, and he used all his strength, how could he recover so quickly.
Zhang Liao once fought with Zhang Yan, and he also knows his strength, although he knows that he is above it, but he can't force him to retreat with a knife, and at this moment, he sees that he shook Zhang Yan back with a knife, and he knows that Zhang Yan should have consumed too much physical strength in the melee just now, and now if he doesn't take his life, when will he wait?
Thinking about it, he used all his strength, one knife after another, and greeted the vital points around Zhang Yan's body. Zhang Yan and Zhang Liao only fought for more than ten rounds, and they saw sweat on their foreheads, and the scene looked very passive, almost forced to fight by Zhang Liao.
At this moment, the generals of the Yuan army, Wang Men, Zhang Kai and others have also arrived, and seeing that Zhang Yan is not supported, all the generals will go up together to fight Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao was still not afraid in the face of many generals of the Yuan Army, and scolded loudly: "Get out of the way, don't stop the general from saving people!" ”
The long knife in his hand slashed back and forth, like wind and fire, and several generals of the Yuan army collided with the weapons in their hands, and they all felt as if they were as heavy as a thousand catties, and it was simply difficult to parry, and they were opened by Zhang Liao overnight, and went straight to the field.
When he was young, he saw Zhang Liao leading a part of the brave soldiers, and rushed straight to Li Dian and Le Jin.
Seeing Zhang Liao's killing from afar, Le Jin was overjoyed, turned his head to Li Dian and said, "Man Cheng, look, that's General Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses...... General Zhang Liao came to our rescue! ”
Li Dian's face flickered, and suddenly he seemed to feel something, and opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it.
There is still some distance between the two Cao soldiers, but Zhang Liao's voice has already come from far and near, like a heavenly sound, making the second general and his subordinates feel like a heart booster in their hearts.
"Man Cheng, Wen Qian! What are the two generals waiting for? If you don't follow me to kill the enemy quickly, when will you wait! ”
Hearing this, Li Dian, Le Jin and their soldiers couldn't help but boil, one by one they raised their weapons in their hands, summoned Yu Yong, and gathered in the direction where Zhang Liao galloped.
In the battlefield, because of the appearance of Zhang Liao, Li Dian and Le Jin and others were given a glimmer of hope, and Cao Jun rose up and merged, wanting to break out of the encirclement.
Cao Jun exerted an extraordinary performance because of Zhang Liao's appearance, and all of this fell into Yuan Shang's eyes.
But seeing that Yuan Shang straightened the sleeves of his robe, stood up, and walked to the front of the chariot, he couldn't help but sigh after looking at it for a while.
"Zhang Liao is really worthy of being the number one general under Lu Bu, not only has a good command, good wisdom, and is brave! Every time I see him, I have an inexplicable throbbing, like, it's like ......"
Wang Shuang said on the side: "It's like a dog seeing a bone? ”
Yuan Shang smiled slightly, and glanced at Wang Shuang: "Just this analogy, I have every reason to rip off your bones piece by piece and feed them to the dogs, but well, Yuan is in a good mood today, so he won't kill." ”
After that, Yuan Shang continued: "It would be a pity if a general like Zhang Liao couldn't be accepted under his banner. ”
Wang Shuangfang immediately stepped forward and asked suspiciously, "The lord wants to give birth to Zhang Liao?" ”
Yuan Shang nodded and said, "Of course, although it is not possible to surrender Zhang Liao for a while, but from this moment on, I am ready to start planning!" Now I still have a strong team in my hand that I haven't used, and at this moment Zhang Liao has fallen into a heavy siege, and success or failure is here! ”
Speaking of this, he saw Yuan Shang turn his head and command the guards behind him: "Where is Ma Chao?" ”
The guard took two steps forward and said respectfully: "General Ma led a Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and he was camped not far away, just waiting for the lord's order, and then he came to help!" ”
Since the first war in Xuzhou Ma Chao was injured, he has been recuperating in Linzi, Qingzhou, although the injury has not fully recovered, he is impatient, he has to go out, he has arrived at Yuan Shang's camp the day before yesterday.
Yuan Shang nodded and said, "Let him come over, I will also go with him, and this time I will take down Zhang Liao if I say anything!" Tell Ma Chao that this time it depends on his performance. (To be continued......)
