Chapter 597: A Fatal Coincidence
On the battlefield, the battle situation is developing and changing rapidly.
After all, it is a chaotic battle situation with only about 1,000 people, and the alternation of offense and defense may change at any time.
For example, Feng Xi, after receiving the assistance of a hundred life forces brought by Liu Yin, was finally able to stabilize the front defense line of Dachangji, and continued to entangle with Zhang He's more than 100 soldiers, and even faintly had a tendency to suppress Zhang He's troops in turn.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Yin dares to engage in a second line of defense in the back. Otherwise, if you can't even block the front, Liu Yin will have no point in engaging in the second line of defense.
And this second line of defense is honestly not a clever trick.
Generals who have poor control over the battlefield situation, or generals who are not very willing to use their brains, may not necessarily notice Liu Yin's small actions in forming a second line of defense in this kind of chaotic battle where the battlefield situation is more complicated, but Zhang He will not.
A melee of this scale is obviously not enough to involve all of Zhang He's energy, and it is difficult to hide from the eyes of Zhang He, a famous general who has been on the battlefield for a long time.
The soldiers brought by Liu Yin, whether they are considered reinforcements or not, this Zhang He really can't judge, but if your Shu army wants to establish a second line of defense and continue to hold on, Zhang He will definitely not be able to do so.
On the front, in the face of Feng Xi, who had already received support, Zhang He really couldn't do anything about him for a while, and he didn't dare to fight with others in a ruthless way. Zhang He, who is old and has no horses and no guns, really doesn't have the certainty of breaking Feng Xi in a short time.
Therefore, the front cannot be broken through for the time being, so you can only think of a way from the flanks.
On the one hand, Zhang He commanded his more than 100 soldiers to try their best to hold back Feng Xi's more than 200 men, and on the other hand, he ordered the attacking troops on the flanks to temporarily retreat, and then concentrate on attacking a defensive line, striving to break through the second line of defense before the second line of defense of the Shu army was established.
As long as the past is broken, this second line of defense will never be established.
Zhang He has his own idea, but this idea. One thing to say, it's not that clever.
What Liu Yin is doing, Feng Xi knows very well, what is the state of the flank defenders under his command, and Feng Xi also understands. And you Zhang He fought well, and suddenly let his flank attacking troops retreat and concentrate, what the target is, Feng Xi is not difficult to guess at all.
It's not hard to guess, it's not hard to guess, Feng Xi has to deal with it, and there is still a certain degree of difficulty.
The frontal direction cannot be abandoned, which means that it is impossible for Feng Xi to leave the frontal battlefield and rescue the defenders on the flank in time.
Liu Yin is also commanding the soldiers to actively deploy defenses, and he has no effort to lead the troops to support the flank battlefield for a while, besides, Feng Xi is also very clear that although Liu Yin has a set of combat ability to lead the troops, he is not a military general, and his martial arts are not easy to protect himself in this kind of chaotic battle, and you can't expect him to personally lead the troops to charge into battle.
Therefore, once the Wei army completes the assembly and breaks through the key points, and the flank defenders can't stop it, then Liu Yin's department will be easily dispersed by the rout before the defense line is established.
This loss, Feng Xi has eaten, and he doesn't dare to forget it at all.
So there is only one choice.
Frontal assault.
Strengthen the attack on the front, especially the siege of Zhang He, so that Zhang He is in danger and does not believe that Zhang He still has this courage, and continues to attack the flank.
That's what Feng Xi thinks.
One thing to say, Feng Xi was a little wrong, if Zhang He didn't have this courage, he wouldn't be able to get into his current position.
Therefore, when Feng Xi launched a strong attack, Zhang He immediately guessed Feng Xi's plan.
It's just that Zhang He sneered at Feng Xi's approach and didn't care about it at all.
I'll let you attack, I don't believe you can tear through my defense in a short time, but it's your flank defense, I probably only need to attack again, and I can rush through with a point.
At that point, you're doomed.
Isn't it just a fight for time, if you dare to fight, I dare to bet.
Zhang He still has great confidence in his martial arts and the combat effectiveness of his soldiers, and he doesn't believe that his soldiers can be broken by Feng Xi's troops in a short time.
And it is, it is.
Feng Xi switched from defense to offense, although relying on the advantage of a large number of people, he once suppressed the Wei army's defense line, but the Wei army's defense line was under Zhang He's calm command, and for a while, Feng Xi really couldn't break through.
And seeing that the Wei army on the flank has completed the assembly, it will be able to launch an attack on Feng Xijun's flank immediately.
Once the Wei army really started attacking, even Feng Xi himself didn't know how long his flank troops could hold up.
Anyway, there is a high probability that he will not be able to hold himself in front of Zhang He and force Zhang He to withdraw his army.
The situation has reached this level, and Feng Xi has also been ruthless.
I could retreat before because I still had a way out. But now, it has reached the point where there is no way back.
If you retreat again, the only thing waiting for you is to lose Dachangji and defeat Zhang He for the third time.
Let's not talk about the importance of this Dachangji defense battle, let's talk about myself, if I even lose this time, then I will lose to Zhang He three times in a row in five days.
Such a failure is already a shame to the extreme, Feng Xi can no longer have the face to live in this world, and losing is just death, it is better to fight.
Even if he dies in battle because of this, it is much better than dying in shame after losing three times in a row, at least it will be spread, and his reputation will not be too bad.
Feng Xi decided - risking his life and rushing into battle.
Ordinary military generals rush into battle and raid for the purpose of breaking through the enemy's defense line, and they also need to take into account the command of the army.
But Feng Xi's rush formation, the target is only Zhang He, and wherever Zhang He is, he will stare at where to attack.
And it's the kind of rushing formation that doesn't even want to die.
In the face of the Wei soldiers blocking the way, Feng Xi didn't care at all, swept the knife, and after forcing the Wei army back, he didn't let the soldiers take advantage of the situation to expand the gap and open the offensive channel, but only took a few guards around him and fought all the way through.
This is not a world of unequaled mowing grass, Feng Xi only rushed in with a few guards, and the speed was fast, but as long as there was a slight obstacle, or Zhang He took the initiative to retreat a little, then Feng Xi could only die in the encirclement of the Wei army.
This is also the reason why Guan Yu has a great reputation after beheading Yan Liang on the White Horse, and even Cao Wei's generals recognize it, saying that Liu Bei is "a famous general Wei Yu".
That's not something that ordinary people can do.
Therefore, when Zhang He saw that Feng Xi was actually charging into battle with only a few guards, he also scoffed for a while.
Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang back then, and he still had an elite cavalry of more than 100 people, otherwise he Guan Yu alone, he couldn't kill Yan Liang if he was tired, you kid didn't even have half of Guan Yu's ability, and he dared to rush into battle with a few people? !
Therefore, Zhang He didn't retreat at all, and he didn't mean to retreat at all, Zhang He faced such a charge, but if he took a step back, he would lose.
But. Zhang He somewhat underestimated Feng Xi's determination to charge the battle.
Feng Xi really let go, and he didn't want his life.
Along the way, he rushed violently, facing the ring head knife that the Wei soldiers kept chopping, and suffered many injuries on his body, and rushed to a distance of about thirty steps away from Zhang He.
At this time, Feng Xi was no longer guarded by any guards, and his personal guards had all died in the rush along the way.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Feng Xi at this time is already at the end of his crossbow.
No matter how he fought, he was always besieged by the Wei army in a small area, and this encirclement was getting smaller and smaller.
And Feng Xi himself has also been killed into a bloody person. There are Wei soldiers, and there are also his own.
That's it, Feng Xi still insisted, fought all the way, and continued to move in the direction where Zhang He was.
This scene made Zhang He spontaneously enthusiastic and ambitious.
Although Zhang He is old, when he was young, he also killed all the way over. The difference is that Zhang He killed through the enemy army all the way and killed it, while Feng Xi will most likely not be able to kill in front of him.
In Zhang He's opinion, although Feng Xi's rush is very irrational, but in this case, he can make such a decision, and it is understandable. The most important thing is that this person still has the blood of being a military general.
That's a lot better than some idiots who only talk on paper.
To be honest, Zhang He didn't think much of Feng Xi before, but at this time, Zhang He at least has to admit that this Feng Xi is a man.
Still. Admit to admit it, appreciate it to appreciate it, Zhang He didn't plan to let Feng Xi go because of this.
It should be killed.
The two armies are at war, each with its own master, and the battlefield is not a place for soft-heartedness.
Besides, if Feng Xi can be killed in one fell swoop, he can severely hit the morale of the Shu army in Dachang, and the Shu army may be scattered and flee.
This is a matter that only benefits to himself, and Zhang He is full of food to sympathize with Feng Xi.
Therefore, Zhang He ordered to continue to besiege Feng Xi and not give Feng Xi any chance to turn around and break through.
At the same time, Zhang He saw that his flank troops had been assembled, and he did not forget to let these flank troops attack, to focus on breaking through the Shu army's defense line, and not giving the Shu army a chance to establish a second direction.
It's a two-pronged approach.
Although after Feng Xi's death, the Shu army in front was leaderless, and Zhang He was sure that he could break it with one blow, but just in case, the flanks also had to attack.
Strive to break the Shu army as soon as possible, after all, time is very unfavorable for you, huh?! What is it?!
Zhang He was thinking about how to launch an attack by himself, when he suddenly saw a black thing poking and poking, coming straight towards his upper body.
Almost with so many years of battlefield experience and intuition, Zhang He subconsciously dodged sideways. But immediately after, Zhang He felt a sharp pain in his right leg.
It was as if he had been hit by an arrow in his right leg.
