Chapter 242: The Battle of Yique (2)

After a moment of hesitation, Wei Xuan made a decision, turned to the herald beside him and said, "Ordering Wei Yan to stick to the camp, you can use all the catapults, and you can attack after surrounding Dong Zhuo on three sides."

The herald ordered Du Peng to go out of the back door of the camp to contain Guo Yan, and Zhou Cang assisted. Ling Tai Shici attacked the Niu Auxiliary Department, and Liu Bei assisted.

Ordered Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Rong to confront Lü Bu head-on and drive Lü Bu out of the battlefield, the farther away the better.

Ling Huang Zhong led 4,000 elite troops out of the camp to attack the left flank, and Wei Zheng led 4,000 elite troops to attack Dong Zhuo's right flank. ”

The herald rushed away, Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu and Guo Jia were slightly moved, this is the difference between the strategist and the commander, once decided, Wei Xuan will attack hard, using Zhao Yun, Xu Rong and Zhang Liao to deal with Lu Bu, with nearly 5,000 troops against Lu Bu 3,000, and the generals are even more Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to deal with Lu Bu, that Zhang Liao and Xu Rong are not given in vain, so that Lu Bu's headquarters will definitely be completely suppressed.

Tai Shici's 2,000 special forces plus Liu Bei's 1,500 infantry against Niu Fu's 2,000 cavalry are also several superior forces. And Huang Zhong and Wei ??????????????? Zheng dispatched 4,000 people, and once a siege was formed, Dong Zhuo wanted to read the disc in person with 13,000 people, including Wei Yan.

Of course, after concentrating the forces in this way, no one will take care of the remaining three departments of Lu Bu, and there will be no one to contain the possible reinforcements of Hu Zhen.

However, in a few days, it was a decisive battle, and a melee was also prepared, so it was a competition for the speed of the two sides. If Dong Zhuo first broke through Wei Yan's camp and then drove straight into the Weixuan army, then the other departments of Weixuan would definitely be in chaos. Then the next Cao Xing, Gao Shun and others will also take the opportunity to attack the Chinese army, and Lu Bu will take the opportunity to attack Huang Zhong's camp with Hou Cheng's 2,000 steps outside the Huang Zhong camp. If the reinforcements of the mixed real can still arrive at the battlefield in advance and directly attack the Wei Zheng camp, then the complete rout of the Wei Xuan army will be inevitable.

But if Wei Xuan could successfully defeat Lu Bu before Dong Zhuo, then one or two thousand infantry such as Cao Xing and Gao Shun would have been defeated by the main general, and they would have already been frightened where the soldiers of the state could resist.

Xi Zhicai suggested that he should fight Lu Bu first, because he thought that the soldiers and generals under Lu Bu had just suffered a loss in front of Wei Xuan, and they had a mental advantage in fighting Lu Bu to Wei Xuan's army. But defeating Lu Bu was not Wei Xuan's ultimate goal.

So Wei Xuan chose to come to Dong Zhuo to have a hard bar. As long as Dong Zhuo's headquarters is defeated head-on, then Dong Zhuo will not flee back to Luoyang but to Chang'an, and the war in the entire Henan Yin will end.

So Wei Xuan decided to give up and go straight to Huanglong, Wei Xuan is not afraid of a melee, if he really wants to fight, his own soldiers may not be as good as Xiliang's soldiers, but in terms of generals, he is confident that he will not lose to Dong Zhuo, and he may even win a lot. This is also a kind of art of war, chaos is chaos, win with violence, Dong Zhuo liked to do this in the past, and now Wei Xuan also likes it.

The drums rumbled, the flags were out, and Wei Xuan was also passionate when he watched from the watchtower. This is a decisive battle of more than 50,000 people, and the two sides of the battle are Dong Zhuo, the general of Xiliangsu who controls the Chaozheng, and Wei Xuan, a rookie after the famous family.

In fact, not only Wei Xuan was excited, but the soldiers who could participate in today's decisive battle were all excited.

In Wei Yan's camp, after receiving Wei Xuan's order, his face was solemn, and he also knew that if he couldn't stop Dong Zhuo today, Wei Xuan's overall layout might collapse. But Dong Zhuo used 4,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry to attack, and the number of infantry alone was about the same as his own, and the cavalry on both wings was ready to move. Soon the battle began, and to Wei Yan's surprise, Fa Qiong remembered that it was not the infantry in the front, but the cavalry on both wings, and the cavalry used the speed of horses to sweep through the two wings, and then collectively ran towards the camp and fired arrows. The defenders in the battalion were forced to retreat.

After two or three rounds of shooting, there were basically no defenders behind the barracks fence, and then the two parts of Lu Bu's army, Cao Xingxing and Gao Shun, were already in sight.

Wei Yan frowned, and said to the herald behind him: "Use the catapult, and when the cavalry comes, fire two rounds first." ”

Niu Fu and Guo Yan swept in front of the camp with the cavalry again, and more than a dozen stone bullets flew over the fence and smashed into the cavalry formation, but unfortunately, only three or four stones hit the target, and only one directly hit the knight on horseback, the man naturally couldn't survive, and the other three pieces fell on the horse, one was thrown off the horse and was taken down by the companion behind, and the rest of the people shook on the horse, with their superb riding ??????????????? Escaped the catastrophe.

Wei Yan shook his head, such a hit rate is too low, and the stones in the camp are very limited. It seems that it can only be left to attack the infantry who are about to attack the fence.

At the same time, under Dong Zhuo's personal supervision, more than 5,000 infantry rushed to the gate of Wei Yan's camp in batches. Because of the experience of Niu Fu's attack on Wei Yan's camp that day and the setback, Dong Zhuo's five thousand men this time were not randomly configured, two rows of sword and shield soldiers followed by pikemen, followed by two rows of archers, and there were not five or six rows of archers gathered together as before.

As the distance approached, the catapult inside the camp fired as expected, but the Xiliang soldiers seemed to be too careful, as no more than a dozen stones flew out of the fence. Half of them were smashed into the Xiliang soldiers who were too slow to react, four or five people were knocked down by boulders, and the others were blocked by shields, although those shield soldiers were also smashed to the ground, but after all, there was no worry about their lives.

Seeing that the legendary catapult was not so lethal, the confidence of the Xiliang soldiers suddenly doubled, and the sword and shield soldiers in the front row who had already passed the danger zone directly launched an attack on the fence.

The enemy rushed up in waves, retreating, the fragile fence trembling incessantly, each wave of attack crumbling the fence, as if it was about to be toppled in the next moment. The ferocity of the Xiliang soldiers obviously made Wei Yan and his soldiers also see it.

"Ling Wenpin and Li Yan defend the camp to the death!"

After speaking, Wei Yan also went down to the watchtower, and asked the soldiers to come and put a spear on his war horse and go straight to the gate, this is to go into battle in person, and all the relatives and soldiers followed when they saw this.

At the same time, under the cover of Niu Fu and Guo Yan's cavalry, Cao He and Gao Shun finally arrived near Wei Yan's camp. Cao He and Gao Shun were also very experienced, and after taking a look at the battlefield, they immediately sent people to clear the stones outside the fence so that the cavalry could continue to shoot.

Wen Ping looked coldly at the enemy outside the fence, there were only a thousand people under his command, if the enemy's infantry broke through, then the two thousand cavalry behind would naturally rush into the camp and kill in all directions. Therefore, after receiving Wei Yan's order, he also knew that today must be a bitter battle. But that's what he wants, because at only 18 years old, he has to have a feats if he wants to go further.

The two camps on the left and right, Huang Zhong and Wei Zheng also immediately prepared their men and horses after receiving the order, except for their own camps, and rushed to Dong Zhuo's headquarters.

The two battalions each had 4,000 people, and naturally they couldn't hide it from Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. After Dong Zhuo's scouts reached Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo immediately ordered Yique Guan to send 2,000 people; These were the last 2,000 cavalry in the pass, with 1,000 on each flank, ready to defend against the attacks of Wei Zheng and Huang Zhong.

However, Lü Bu did not have time to redeploy his army, Cao He and Gao Shun were already in position, and if he recruited back at this time, the offensive of the camp would stall.

Lü Bu deployed 3,000 cavalry at Wei Yan and Huang Zhong to prevent Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao from reinforcing Wei Yan. But he was entangled by Zhang Liao, to be precise, he himself was entangled by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and his three thousand cavalry were entangled by Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and Xu Rong with nearly five thousand men.

Watching the majestic Zhao Yun slaughtering all sides among his own soldiers, and then looking at the two enemy generals in front of him, one red and one black, Lu Bu knew that Wei Xuan was already very good at how to deal with him, and he didn't intend to suppress it as soon as he came up??????????????? Himself, as long as he drags it out, then Huang Zhong can reinforce Wei Yan.

Lu Bu decided to break Wei Xuan's layout, he glanced at the red-faced Guan Yu, and then looked at the black-faced Zhang Fei, Fang Tian's halberd shook, the red rabbit horse took two steps and went straight to Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei's eyes widened, last time he only blocked Lu Bu at the city gate once, but he did not participate in the battle to pursue Lu Bu behind, I just felt a little pity, today Wei Xuan did not let him get out of the tiger and leopard ride, but went straight to Lu Bu, and his heart was naturally happy.

Zhang Fei held back twelve points of strength, and raised the Eight Snake Spears to block Lu Bu's Fang Tian Painting Halberd.

Dingdong, Dingdong, Fang Tian's halberd and Zhangba snake spear collided together and made a tooth-sore metal collision sound, but then Zhang Fei's eyes widened, he originally wanted to fight with Lu Bu, but Lu Bu didn't drag the mud and water at all, and once again used his strength to swing Zhang Fei's snake spear away, Fang Tian's halberd swept to the left, and met Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Knife, this is not over, the red rabbit horse boat came up, Lu Bu's Fang Tianhuai Ji turned back and slammed it over with the face door.

Jingle, collided again, Guan Yu felt light under him, it turned out that Guan Yu's war horse knelt on one knee without knowing the strength, and hurriedly jumped off the war horse, and the war horse struggled to get up.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei hurriedly rushed up, Lu Bu seemed to have been prepared, and Fang Tian's halberd smashed down against Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei raised his spear with both hands and crossed his chest, blocking Lu Bu's fierce blow, but Lu Bu withdrew Fang Tian's halberd again and smashed it down again, Zhang Fei blocked it, but the war horse was shocked back two steps.

The corners of Lu Bu's mouth curled slightly, and he abandoned Zhang Fei and went straight to Guan Yu.

Over there, Guan Yu also knew that his war horse could no longer be used, and he was looking around for a new suitable war horse, and Lu Bu came over there, he could only raise the Qinglong Yanyue Sword on foot to meet Lu Bu's Fang Tian Painting Halberd.

Of course, Lu Bu's long-planned move couldn't let Guan Yu resolve it so easily, as soon as he looked for it, Fang Xuan shook, and the Heavenly Painting Halberd smashed down in the air with a whirlwind and arrogance. Guan Yu's block failed, and when he saw Lu Bu making another move, he could block it, but the whole person took the Qinglong Yanyue to retreat three or four steps before standing firm.
