The battle began in the morning and continued until the sun set in the west. Except for half an hour in between, when the two sides retreated slightly, temporarily out of the battle, and took a breath when they regrouped their formations, they were always in a fierce duel. Later, there were no reserves to replace at all, and all the soldiers participated in the head-to-head duel at the same time, and in addition to the heralds, drummers, and bannermen, there were also 500 guards led by Dian Wei. And in such a fierce confrontation, not only the soldiers, but also the generals felt very tired.

Wang Xu also admired Liu Biaojun's resilience from the bottom of his heart, although after the war, Jingnan had already occupied an absolute advantage. The green dragon knights on both wings broke through the opponent's line and pressed into the middle of the enemy, and the crescent-shaped battle formation had turned into a "U"-shaped encirclement. But the other party still managed to stabilize the position, organized into several dense formations, and stubbornly resisted to the end.

"Lord, the shape is not so wonderful! If you continue to fight like this, the longer it will take, the more difficult it will become. There is no support in the rear of our army, and the soldiers are tired, and once it falls into the night, they will be in danger. Guo Jia looked at the slowly westward sun, and finally couldn't stop stepping forward to persuade Wang Xu to withdraw from the army.

A trace of helplessness flashed on Wang Xu's face, and he also understood that a draw with an advantage was not a result that Jing Nan could accept. With a slight tremor on his closed lips, he said softly: "Wait a little longer, if you can't break through by evening, then withdraw!" ”

Hearing this, Guo Jia looked at the situation in front of him, and was also silent, not saying more.

As time passed, it could be seen that all the generals in the front were working very hard, and all of them personally rushed to the forefront to lead the assault. It's a pity that the soldiers who have formed a formation are very terrifying, no matter how brave they are, they can't face the sharp blade that stabs at three hundred and sixty degrees, even if they break once, twice, but they can't last forever, he is also flesh after all! If you only care about breaking through by yourself, it is not impossible to find weak links and force you to rush out with the force of the generals. But they are going to lead their armies to kill the enemy. It is to advance slowly with the soldiers, not to escape.

Finally, the sun, which gradually lost its heat, slowly set over the distant mountains. Wang Xu sighed helplessly, the whole person seemed to soften in an instant, and his voice was indescribably tired: "Fengxiao, withdraw!" Recall Zhou Zhi and Xu Huang's soldiers and horses. Find another opportunity to break the enemy! ”

"Hey!" Guo Jia also sighed. It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, this battle has fallen into complete passivity from the beginning, the intelligence is wrong, and the preparation is insufficient, even if he is wise and close to the demon, what can he do? The other party is not mortal after all......

Just when Guo Jia slowly waved his hand. When he was about to drink the drummer behind him, there was a sudden commotion behind the enemy formation, which made the formation a little unstable. Immediately, he couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Lord, look! What happened to the rear flank of the enemy army? ”

"Huh?" Wang Xu, who bowed his head and thought sadly, suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashed with a hint of joy in an instant, and he exclaimed, "What's the matter?" Who broke through the front? ”

Because it was so far away, the dust blocked the view. Guo Jia couldn't see it too clearly. After looking at it from afar, he reasoned, "Not like that." The only people who could achieve encirclement were the two generals Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao on the left and right flanks. But they should not make such a move, cutting off the opponent's retreat, and it will only make the enemy's cohesion stronger and stimulate the opponent. ”

At the same time as Guo Jia spoke, the shape in the distance also changed rapidly, and he saw that the commotion in the rear flank of the enemy formation was rapidly spreading to the entire military formation, and the reduction of combat power caused by that commotion was very obvious, and the momentum was also rapidly weakened.

"That's not right! It's not someone attacking the enemy's flank. Wang Xu immediately shook his head in shock.

Immediately, he couldn't help but glance at Guo Jia, and exclaimed in unison: "Daying! ”

The two men's inferences were quickly confirmed, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the entire enemy formation began to slowly retreat. Of course, the generals in the front battle situation should see more clearly than Wang Xu in the rear, and a strong will to fight broke out in an instant, and after a while, the shouts quickly spread and resounded throughout the battlefield.

"Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming! Kill! ”

"The enemy camp has been lost, brothers, rush!"

Hearing this dense shout, Wang Xu couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart anymore. "Hahaha! God help me. ”

However, Guo Jia seemed a lot more cautious, and said with a confused face: "Lord, where did this soldier who raided the enemy camp come from?" ”

"I don't know!" Wang Xu frowned and thought about it, but his mind was also full of mush. But seeing that the front line had taken a sharp turn during the war, he couldn't care too much, and suddenly shouted: "Dian Wei, you lead the three hundred guards in the back row to protect Fengxiao, and the rest will charge with me." ”

"No!"

Zhou Zhi succeeded, and when Liu Biao's army was in a fierce battle and could not extricate himself, he suddenly attacked the empty camp behind him, which was undoubtedly a decisive blow. Although the number was small, and even because they were too tired to rush out of the camp to flank the enemy troops, they added a magic code to the balance of victory, and completely lost their balance.

When the frightened Liu Biao's army found that the rear camp had been attacked and was besieged on all sides, they could no longer maintain their fighting spirit, and their nerves, which had been tense for a day, were suddenly broken. Facing the morale of the Jingnan army, which was like a rainbow, they rushed to the rear one by one. Confusion began to spread, and the soldiers of the various departments were mixed together, and it was impossible to conduct effective command. The banners and the drums of war were useless, because the ordinary soldiers had no idea which part they belonged to. Whose orders should be followed.

Of course, Wang Xu would not let go of such a good opportunity, and led two hundred guards to roar frantically on the front line to boost morale, and the iconic fire dragon spear in his hand stimulated the soldiers to fight frantically all the time.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao on the left and right flanks showed extremely keen judgment at this moment, allowing the Blue Dragon Knights to gradually retreat, freeing up space for the enemy soldiers to rout, while they themselves took the Yanyun Iron Cavalry and the Xiaoyaojin Dead Soldiers of their headquarters to launch a fierce attack on the enemy's center. Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, whose formation had been disorganized, could no longer restrain the two, like two sharp knives piercing the heart of the enemy.

As the banner of the Chinese army was knocked down by a shot from the furious Zhang Liao, Liu Biao's army, which had not retreated for a day of fierce fighting, finally collapsed and fled to the rear like a tide. Although Zhou Zhi did not dare to come out to fight head-on, he tightly defended the edge of the camp and attacked head-on with the help of fortifications.

Seeing that the camp could not go back, the Jingnan army in the rear rushed to kill again, and countless soldiers began to disperse from both sides of the camp and fled towards the north.

The defeat was like a mountain, and the deserters all over the field failed to seize the pursuit of the Jingnan army, and the resentful Jingnan soldiers waved the sharp blades in their hands and chased them everywhere. If it weren't for the reprimand of the generals and colonels of various ministries, I am afraid that I would be scattered.

Seeing this, Wang Xu finally smiled, did not follow, and let the generals of the various departments lead the troops to chase and kill. Slowly riding a horse to patrol the battlefield, facing the afterglow of the sunset, it is particularly eye-catching.

After a while, Zhou Zhi also rushed out with his subordinates and began to clean up the battlefield and rescue the wounded.

Seeing Wang Xu's figure from a distance, he rushed all the way over, and laughed from afar: "Boss! Well, I'll have to take credit for it this time! ”

"Huh!" Wang Xu didn't say much, smiled and nodded.

When Zhou Zhi walked in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Zhou Zhi, this time it's really thanks to you, if you are really a general, I will promote you to general when the battle is over!" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Zhi was stunned.

"What's wrong? Dissatisfied? Wang Xuqi said.

"No, no, no!" Zhou Zhi suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly shook his head: "Satisfied, very satisfied!" ”

As he spoke, looking at Wang Xu's pleased gaze, he was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "It's just that the boss seems to be praising me for the first time, and it feels a little incredible." ”

Wang Xu couldn't help but smile, thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he had never praised him in person, and immediately smiled: "Hehe! Of course, if you do a good job, you must praise, and if you don't do a good job, of course, you must train! Okay, don't rub it off, quickly clean up the battlefield, dismantle Liu Biao's camp, bring it back if it can be used, burn it with a fire if it can't be used, and go back to Xia Jun to rest tonight. ”

"Hmmm! Good. Zhou Zhi responded, did not hesitate, and immediately followed Wang Xu slowly towards the camp.

Because the soldiers were very tired from a day of fierce fighting, they did not dare to pursue for too long, and after completely breaking up the enemy army and slaughtering thousands of people, the various units also slowly returned, and returned to Xiajun before midnight.

In today's battle, although the Jingnan army also suffered great losses, Liu Biaozhong's army was more than twice as damaged, and it was completely defeated, and the soldiers were terrified, and it was impossible to organize an attack in a short period of time, which is equivalent to saying that this army has completely lost its threat. It's just that the reinforcement of Wuling can't be done, because whether it is Zhou Zhibu, who rushed over, or other soldiers who have been fighting fiercely for a day, their bodies have been consumed to the limit, and if they don't rest, they can't fight. Therefore, the situation on the Wuling side is also worrying.

After the tired soldiers were full of food and drink, they slowly fell asleep, and only Guan Hai led the soldiers who stayed behind to guard. But Wang Xu was the only one who couldn't sleep, and under the bright moonlight, he slowly climbed the city tower, facing the grinning night wind, looking at the west in a daze. "Gao Shun, Fu Zhu, Zhang Jing, Wang Mastiff, you all have to hold on......"

But in fact, Lin Ruan Chengtou was almost unable to stand up......

"Report! General Gao, the city gate of the southern city was breached, Wang Taishou led the soldiers to block the city gate with rolling wood and stones, and was struggling to resist and urgently begging for reinforcements! ”

After listening to the soldier's return, Gao Shun, whose eyes were bloodshot, licked his chapped lips, but he couldn't say anything. Looking back, he saw that there was no big problem on the side of Dongcheng, and immediately rushed to Nancheng with the trap camp directly under him. There were already only 5,000 reservists in the city, which were reserved for the rest of the rotating soldiers, and it was impossible to send all of them to the city walls. So there could be no reinforcements at all.

This siege battle started last night, and there have been six waves of offensives so far, except for being able to rush to eat and rest for a while during the interval between the offensives, Gao Shun has not really closed his eyes at all. Of course, not only him, but all the generals and colonels were the same, except for the soldiers who could occasionally replace the city and get a short break.

The fierce fighting made the city walls full of dried blood, and the city walls were covered with corpses, broken armor, broken swords, and a large number of stumps and broken arms, all showing the tragedy of this siege battle. (To be continued.) )
