Chapter 462: Chen Zhi is surrounded
Chen Zhi led the army to hurry, although he did not rush day and night like Jiang Huan, but he also hurried at the fastest speed. ΡΡΡ.(vii) (ix) x.S.ΡΠΎΠΌ The update is so fast. Rao is like this, and the distance between him and Jiang Huan is getting farther and farther. After all, there are only 3,000 soldiers under Jiang Huan's command, but there are many soldiers under his command, and there are also heavy baggage in the army, so he can't hurry quickly.
By noon, the procession stopped to rest.
Chen was patrolling the army to check on the condition of the soldiers.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a sentry ran back.
The sentinel's face was anxious, and there was a nervous look in his eyes, and he quickly came to Chen Zhi's side.
"What's the news?" asked Chen Zhi.
The sentry said: "General, it's not good, the three thousand 'elite' troops led by Jiang Huan have been wiped out. β
"Brush!"
Chen Zhi's face became extremely dignified.
Annihilated!
In such a situation, it is definitely an ambush.
Chen Zhi asked, "What's going on?"
The sentry replied: "According to the news from the front, General Jiang Huan led three thousand 'elite' sharps to travel day and night, and finally encountered an ambush in the woods of Tianshi Mountain. After the first battle, it was completely defeated. According to the fleeing soldiers, General Jiang Huan killed himself on the spot. β
Chen Zhi's body shook a little, and his eyes were full of worry.
At this moment, what Chen Zhi thought of was that all this was an ambush by Liu Xiubu. Then, the epidemic of the soldiers in Liu Xiu's camp may also be water, and it may be a smoke bomb deliberately released by Liu Xiu.
"Oh no, the armies of the left and right flanks are in danger. β
In Chen Zhi's mind, he suddenly thought of the left and right flank armies that divided the troops.
Even Jiang Huan is in danger, so the armies on the left and right flanks are probably also in trouble.
"Report!"
At this time, another sentry ran back.
The sentry came to Chen Zhi on horseback and reported: "General, the left flank army has been completely defeated. The army of 5,000 was already one out of ten, and all of them were routed. β
Chen Zhi pursed his lips, his eyes full of worry.
Defeated!
This time it's a real defeat!
Liu Xiu's plan has always been one link after another, and now that Jiang Huan and the army on the left have failed, then the army on the right wing must be like this.
Although Chen Zhi knew that the right-wing was definitely in danger, in the current situation, he could only have a little hope.
"Report!"
On the official road, another sentry rushed back.
"Alas!"
Chen Zhi saw that another sentinel came back, his legs were weak, and he sat down on the ground with his buttocks.
The whole person, as if he had lost his pillars.
After a while, the sentry had already come to Chen Dao's body and reported: "General, the army on the right flank has been defeated. And the right flank was met by the Yellow Tiger, who led his army into battle, and our army was completely annihilated. β
"Alas......"
Chen Zhi couldn't help but sigh again, his face full of helplessness.
It's been calculated!
Chen Zhi is sure that this time it was really calculated.
Careless!
Chen Zhi thought in his heart that if he insisted on not fighting, then it would still be impossible for Liu Xiu to tear apart his defense. But now that he has lost three armies in a row, more than half of the troops under his command have been lost, and only the army around him is left, and it is already overstretched to resist Liu Xiu's army.
"Da!
The sound of horses' hooves came from the front of the official road.
Another sentry rushed out, running quickly.
The sentry came to Chen Zhi and said loudly: "General, something is wrong. Liu Xiu led the army to kill, and Liu Xiu was less than ten miles away from us. β
Rumble!
Chen Zhi's brain exploded, and his mind went blank.
After a while, Chen Zhi regained his composure, he was shocked by Liu Xiu's speed, which was too fast.
In such a short period of time, he has already led the army to kill.
At this time, all the generals in the army rushed over, all of them with worried faces and worried expressions. When they learned of the defeat of the three-way army, they had no intention of fighting again.
The morale of the army is already unstable!
Morale has already fallen to the bottom.
"General Chen, we will definitely not be able to resist Liu Xiu, he has fierce men like Huang Hu and Shamoke under his command, and Liu Xiu also has bows and crossbows and other weapons under his command, far surpassing our weapons. The two sides are fighting, and we don't have an advantage. β
"Our odds of winning this battle are too low. If the three-way army has no losses, we may still have a chance to defeat Liu Xiu and be able to control the situation. But in the current situation, self-protection is difficult. β
"General, retreat. β
"We will now withdraw to Guangxin County, join up with Uncle Huang's soldiers, and then use Guangxin County to resist Liu Xiu. β
One by one, the generals opened their mouths to persuade Chen Dao that they didn't want to fight again.
The war has reached the point where it is now, and if it continues to fight, it will be self-inflicted. Maybe he will die in this battle. It was clearly a lost war, and no one wanted to hold on.
Chen Zhi glanced around at everyone, looked helpless, and said, "Withdraw the army!"
The helpless decision made a cold heart.
Chen Zhi didn't even know how to 'deliver' to Liu Bei.
This time to attack Liu Xiu, the first is to block Liu Xiu's attack, and the second is to defeat Liu Xiu. Not only did he not defeat Liu Xiu now, but he also lost to Liu Xiu, and he couldn't even defend.
Go down in flames!
Chen Zhi endured the pain in his heart, quickly gathered the soldiers, and led the army to retreat.
The team retreated less than five miles, and on the official road ahead, an army appeared.
This army was led by Huang Hu and Shamoke.
Huang Hu straddled the war horse, holding a drum urn and a golden hammer, pointed ahead, and shouted: "This road is impassable!"
"No way!"
The soldiers behind Huang Hu shouted in unison.
"No way!"
"No way!"
The high-pitched voice kept echoing on the official road.
The soldiers led by Huang Hu were all high-spirited and murderous. This group of soldiers robbed and killed Chen Zhi's left and right flank armies, and they had already been killed, and now they have intercepted Chen Zhi's retreat, and they are even more looking forward to making another war exploit.
When Chen Zhi saw this scene, he froze in place on his horse and did not take a step forward.
The back road is broken!
Liu Xiu's plan was really one link after another, leaving no room for him.
The generals around Chen Zhi all changed their faces, and there was already a frightened look in their eyes. I thought that there was still a chance to retreat, and I thought that I could escape if I avoided Liu Xiu's army, but now it seems that it is already an extravagant hope.
"Knock! knock!"
The sound of the majestic war drums suddenly came from the rear of the military formation.
"Woo!"
A long, long voice followed.
Chen Zhi looked back and found that an army had already appeared on the official road behind the military formation. This army is the army under Liu Xiu.
Besieged!
Chen Dao's front and back roads were blocked, and he was surrounded by Liu Xiu.
At this time, Chen Dao was already unable to advance or retreat.
"General, we are surrounded, what now?"
"General, what should I do now?"
The words of inquiry made Chen Zhi's heart even more irritable. A trace of anger grew in Chen Zhi's heart. This group of waste, when there is a benefit, they all rush to drill forward, and now they are in difficulty, and they all begin to retreat one by one.
Chen Zhi scolded: "Shut up!"
The cold voice quieted the surroundings for a while.
Everyone saw Chen Zhi's cold Lian, and suddenly remembered that Chen Zhi was not a good stubble. angered Chen Dao, I am afraid that they will not die in the hands of Liu Xiu at that time, and finally die in the hands of Chen Dao.
One by one, they stopped talking and quietly waited for Chen Zhi's decision.
Chen Zhi glanced at everyone and ordered, "Line up and prepare to meet the enemy." β
The tone that cannot be refuted, the generals can only order.
The soldiers in the army set up a formation, and then waited for Liu Xiu to lead the army to kill.
After a short time, the army led by Liu Xiu came to a hundred paces away from Chen's army formation, and the two sides confronted each other. The only difference is that Chen Zhi's rear was cut off by Huang Hu, and Chen Zhi was sandwiched in the middle.
Liu Xiu looked in the direction of Chen Zhi and raised his hand.
In an instant, the sound of war drums stopped, the sound of trumpets disappeared, and all sounds disappeared.
On the battlefield, there was silence.
Liu Xiu's eyes fell on Chen Zhi, who should be the last general beside Liu Bei. Zhao Yun submitted to him, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were killed, and Liu Bei was left with only Chen Dao.
If there is no Chen Dao, then Liu Bei is really a bare-bones commander.
