Chapter 354: The Turning Point (II)

Gao Shun's side is fighting, and the other side of Koji's defense is also fighting.

But the battle didn't last long, only a quarter of an hour! After a quarter of an hour, half of the hundreds of enemy soldiers who had raided the towers on both sides had been wiped out and half had fled, and the battle stopped.

But tonight's real battle hasn't started yet.

The reason why the arrow towers on both sides were raided was actually to cover up the sound, the sound of opening the city gate and the drawbridge, and the sound of the 8,000 army going out of the city!

Xia Lei took 8,000 soldiers with good physical strength, and walked straight in the dark after leaving the city, until he couldn't see the fire of the Xuzhou army on the city, he ordered the soldiers to light torches and turn around and go to the camp of the Tianfan army five miles outside the southern city.

As Zhang Xun said, today's fog is really God help me!

After two quarters of an hour's rapid march, Xia Lei finally arrived at a position more than 100 steps outside the Xuzhou military camp. After seeing a faint fire in front of him, Xia Lei ordered the torch to be extinguished, and the army slowly approached the Xuzhou military camp unconsciously and unconsciously.

It didn't take long, lined up in a neat line, and the 8,000 soldiers who deliberately slowed down their steps had already arrived not far from the Xuzhou military camp.

Xia Lei calmly watched the camp carefully for a while, and couldn't help but rejoice in his heart. There are only a few soldiers on the gatehouse of the big camp, and the attack on the camp is expected!

With a wave of his right hand, several excellent archers in the army came forward, bent the bow and set up the arrow, the bow was like a full moon, the arrow was like a meteor, only to hear a few soft sounds of "whoosh", the Xuzhou soldiers on the camp gate had been hit by the arrow, and their bodies fell down the camp gate.

When Xia Lei saw it, he suddenly drew a knife in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, success or failure is in this move, kill me!" ”

More than 8,000 people roared, took a big stride, and rushed to the gate of the Xuzhou military camp.

Dozens of soldiers climbed into the camp, and when the camp gate was opened, the army swarmed in.

After a period of shouting and shouting, the more than 2,000 people who had entered the camp in advance suddenly fell silent, and slowly, the entire army completely calmed down.

It was only at this time that Xia Lei finally realized that something was wrong! In the Xuzhou military camp, it is too quiet, a quiet madman! It is said that when his soldiers shouted wildly to enter the camp, at least some panicked Xuzhou soldiers should have picked up their pants and looked for armor, fled frantically, or rushed to the camp army like moths to fire. But now, there was nothing, only the sound of a few torches whirring and burning.

Xia Lei was suddenly furious, he jumped off the war horse, brushed aside the soldiers behind him, and walked towards the camp gate. It was only a few dozen steps away, and it didn't take long for him to arrive, and after he found a few "soldiers" of the Xuzhou army who had fallen from the gate of the village, he shouted angrily: "It's not good, I've been fooled!" Evacuate! ”

The few who were shot down were not soldiers at all, but a few scarecrows wearing the leather armor of the Xuzhou Army!

At this moment, suddenly there was an earth-shattering shouting from the camp, and a particularly loud voice shouted: "How can my Xuzhou camp come and leave when you say it?" Brothers, stay and kill me! ”

Countless soldiers shouted: "Keep guests, kill!" ”

Immediately afterwards, countless soldiers came out from behind countless tents, and salvos of crossbows and feather arrows were fired, only to hear a "buzz", and thousands of arrows pierced into Xia Lei's soldiers with unparalleled penetrating power.

Countless soldiers were shot and arrowed, and the dense formation suddenly thinned out a lot. The wounded soldiers screamed loudly, and the uninjured soldiers panicked.

Xia Lei shouted: "Quickly withdraw from the camp, quickly withdraw!" ”

The Xuzhou soldiers did not charge, but kept shooting the enemy soldiers with feather arrows. A general behind the formation, with a white dragon horse under his crotch, a silver gun in his hand, a bow on his back, and a silver armor, is the general Zhao Zilong!

He saw Xia Leijun slowly withdrawing from the camp, and shouted: "Light the torch and prepare to pursue!" ”

The soldiers shouted, lit torches, picked up swords and guns, and lined up in pursuit.

Xia Lei led the remnants out of the Xuzhou military camp in a panic and fled in panic. But before they could go far, they suddenly saw a torch appear in front of them, and under the reflection of the torches, a large group of cavalry appeared.

As the leader of the general, the red rabbit horse under the crotch, the halberd in the palm, the red cloak fluttering in the wind in the night breeze, the sound of hunting the wind. I only heard Lu Bu yell, "Shameless villain, you actually attacked my camp at night, and you can't come back today!" ”

After a slight pause, this guy Fang Tian pointed at his halberd, and shouted: "Wenhou Lu Bu is here, who dares to fight with me!" ”

This voice, like a muffled thunder, exploded in the ears of every Yuan Shu sergeant. Wenhou Lu Bu is here, the shadow of the famous tree, he is the famous number one brave general in the world, who will go to death?

Sergeant Yuan Shu shouted, and fled faster and faster!

Lu Bu pursed his lips and said in his heart: "It's really boring!" Thinking about it, he drew a halberd and shouted, "Kill me!" ”

Under his command, two thousand wolves rode like a landslide and the ground cracked, with a power that people did not dare to shake, and rushed towards the Yuan Shu soldiers whose formation was already chaotic.

In the process of accelerating the cavalry, Lu Bu suddenly noticed a general on horseback in front of him, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He shouted, "Cheng Lian, you command the brothers to fight!" After speaking, he left the big formation without saying a word, and accelerated and rushed forward.

Cheng Lian made a loud promise and took over the command of the cavalry. As soon as he saw that the enemy soldiers had broken up and had completely lost their formation, he knew that they could not pose any threat to Lu Bu. Looking at the situation on the battlefield, he immediately asked the knights to divide into groups of fifty, scatter and pursue, and after surpassing the local deserters, he turned around in the opposite direction and continued to kill.

The red rabbit horse has not fought for a long time, and this time he ran up, full of excitement, and the four bowl-sized hooves stepped on the maze step, almost running out of the flowers, and the mouth was roaring again and again, and the sound was like a dragon's groan.

Xia Lei is a brave general, and he is also rare in Zhang Xunjun, and he is very heroic in battle. But being brave doesn't mean he's stupid, if he has the courage to fight someone like Lu Bu to the death, I'm afraid he won't be alive now!

He hugged the horse's neck and ran away frantically, only to hear the sound of the horse's hooves behind him, and the sound of the horse's hooves getting closer and closer.

Xia Lei's heart couldn't help but twitch, whose horse is this, can it be so much better than his own horse? Don't ask, it must not be your own person! But he couldn't help but be curious, and stood up and looked back.

Just as he turned his head, he heard a burst of shouts in his ear: "Little thief, take your life!" ”

Xia Lei's head was only half turned, and only a flash of white light swept through his eyes. Then, he felt a chill on his neck, and felt his body spin and fly. Finally, he saw a fiery red figure, which was rapidly passing by his side, like an afterimage, so real, so illusory.

Xia Lei's death made the Yuan Shu soldiers, who had fled in a hurry, even more panicked. Lu Bu took the lead, rushing to kill in the crowd of enemies, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and there were broken arms and stumps everywhere he passed, and no one could shake his edge.

After Cheng Lian led the cavalry to overtake the enemy soldiers, he then turned around and came back, and Zhao Yun who came from behind one after another, pinching the deserters of Yuan Shujun, this time, it can be regarded as fatal!

Half an hour later, the battle ended. After Zhao Yun handed over the command of the army to his deputy, he met Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was followed by a few cavalrymen, holding torches, and under the reflection of the torches, he saw Lu Bu covered in blood, like a blood gourd. Zhao Yun's heart twitched, and he hurriedly asked, "Wen Hou, are you injured?" ”

Lu Bu's huge head was raised, and he pointed at the soldier who was being guarded by the cavalry and foot soldiers with his nose, and said disdainfully: "Injured? Just them? Hey, all the blood on my body is from the enemy soldiers, mainly from the enemy general Xia Lei! It was also my bad luck that when I killed him, he was turning his head, and after I beheaded him with a halberd, the headless corpse of that guy was rushing at me, and the blood spurting out of his neck sprayed me! ”

Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief and put his mind at ease. He smiled slightly, and said: "Wen Hou, after this battle, Zhang Xun's strength is not much, I speculate that tomorrow we will be able to capture the entire city!" ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Not bad!" I thought so too! After a slight pause, he said with a little emotion: "I didn't expect that this battle for Liyang is over like this!" ”

Zhao Yun also nodded slightly, and said, "Hehe, speaking of which, isn't it all General Tian's clever idea?" In the past, I often heard Yide, Lao Koji, and Zhengqing say that it was comfortable to fight with Boguang, but I had never experienced it myself. Hehe, now, it's finally appreciated! ”

Lu Bu nodded slightly, and was about to say something when suddenly, at the place where the bell rang, a small school came galloping.

The little colonel saw that Zhao Yun and Lu Bu were there, and he was busy pulling the reins, and the horse stood up, and Herod neighed violently, and then his front hooves hit the ground. The little colonel hugged his fists and said: "The villain has seen two generals!" ”

Lu Bu bowed his head slightly, and said, "But there is a military situation?" ”

The junior colonel replied: "Qiqi two generals, General Tian has taken the north gate of Liyang, and he has a military order for the two!" ”

Lu Bu and Zhao Yun glanced at each other, and did not ask Tian Fan how he took the north gate of Liyang, they hugged their fists at the same time and said: "The end will be!" ”

The little colonel said: "General Tian ordered, please ask the two generals to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, and arrange for all the soldiers inside and outside the city to eat!" After the soldiers have finished eating, ask the two generals to immediately lead all the soldiers who can participate in the battle into the city to participate in the decisive battle. In addition, General Tian hopes that this will all be done within an hour! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the little colonel clasped his fists and saluted, beat his horse and went to the south gate of Liyang.

Watching him run into the fog, Lu Bu said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, look at the sky, there is less than an hour before dawn, it seems that Boguang is planning to use the cover of the fog to attack the fortification!" Well, let's do it, you are in charge of the overall situation here, and I will go back to the barracks to arrange for the soldiers to eat, and then deliver food to the soldiers in the city! ”

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Okay, it's hard work!" ”

After Lu Bu nodded, he rode away on horseback, and after a while, his shadow also disappeared into the fog.

Zhao Yun watched his figure disappear and said in a loud voice, "Brothers, speed up!" Cheng Lian, you go to host the other side, remember, you must be fast! ”

A turning point in the situation on the battlefield is often the result of one side making a mistake, which is keenly perceived and exploited by the other side. Tian Fan is not an immortal, he didn't expect Zhang Xun to send someone to attack the camp, but he would do a good job of the necessary precautions. The 4,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry who did not participate in the battle during the day were divided into two halves by him, half before and half at night, and half after sleeping. Perhaps, this is the arrangement of fate, who made Xu Sheng spend a whole day, and still did not take the Beicheng Tower and the Urn City, giving him a trace of fantasy? Who told Tian Fan to be careful, even if the military strength is insufficient, but he would rather let Zheng Bao's third-rate army leave 8,000 main forces on it? ……
