Chapter 343: Guo Yan is killed

Zhao Yun's cavalry appeared in the middle of the two camps of Li Dao and Guo Yan, Guo Yan wanted to send a herald to ask Li Dao for help, and the remaining seven or eight thousand elite infantry began to attack from the east gate of the camp.

Obviously, Wei Xuan wanted to cut off his contact with Li Dao and eliminate himself first. Guo Yan felt glad that Tai Shici did not come, but what he didn't know was that it was the two infantry geniuses Dian Wei and Xu Chu who led the infantry to attack at the east gate.

Dian Wei's double iron halberd, Xu Chu's long knife went straight to the main gate of the camp, and there was no enemy at all. When they arrived at the gate of Guo Yan's camp, Dian Wei and Xu Chu worked together to poke out several big holes in the camp gate, and then in the enemy's stunned eyes, the two of them slammed the camp gate open with their shoulders, and the camp gate fell inward, smashing over a group of Guo Yan's soldiers, and then the two killing gods rushed into Guo Yan's camp with nearly 4,000 heavy infantry and started killing.

Guo Yan never dreamed that his camp would be knocked out by the enemy in just a moment, and then the swarming heavy infantry was not at all something that his Xiliang infantry could stop.

In anticipation of Zhang Liao's possible breakthrough into the camp from the west and north, Guo Yan placed most of his cavalry on the west and north sides, knowing that if he let that kind of heavy cavalry trample his infantry, it would be basically as easy as plowing the ground.

Guo Yan is also a battle-hardened Xiliang general, seeing that his 5,000 infantry could not stop the heavy infantry led by Dian Wei and Xu Chu, he brought his own soldiers and directly met them, and followed nearly 1,000 light cavalry behind him.

After Dian Wei and Xu Chu led people to break into the camp, the divine arm archers behind also followed into the camp, with heavy infantry in full armor in front and more than 3,000 god arm archers in the back.

Although Guo Yan was on the front line, he still couldn't stop his own retreat. Guo Yan was helpless, he knew that if he wanted to save the defeat, he had to capture the local general, the enemy's main general Zhao Yun was still in the south and did not enter the camp at the moment, so Guo Yan targeted Dian Wei and Xu Chu, in his opinion, although these two people were brave, but they didn't even have war horses, and their skills should be average, so he quietly gathered more than 20 personal soldiers, and took advantage of Dian Wei to kill one of his own infantry and shouted: "Get out of the way, wait for Ben Hou to take his life." As he spoke, he slapped the horse's ass and rushed towards Dian Wei.

Dian Wei glanced at Guo Yan on horseback, and the double iron halberd swung to sweep away the enemies on the left and right, and Guo Yan just came to him.

Dian Wei unequivocally looked at Guo Yan's war horse, and the head of Guo Yan's war horse was a halberd, and Guo Yan's crotch was smashed and his head was broken, and he knelt down on the spot.

Guo Yan's spear that was originally stabbing at Dian Wei also lost its direction, and Dian Wei's other halberd came on.

Guo Yan was startled and hurriedly lay down, and then rolled off the war horse. Guo Yan just got up Dian Wei's double iron halberd arrived, Guo Yan stumbled, spit out a mouthful of blood and rushed forward, a pro-soldier was quick-eyed, jumped off the horse and put the war horse in front of Dian Wei, and he supported Guo Bi to walk a few steps quickly and hide in the pro-soldier team.

Seeing this, Dian Wei waved his double iron halberd left and right, directly overturning the war horse in front of him, and then swept several Guo Yan's personal soldiers off their horses one after another.

The heavy infantry behind Dian Wei was also deeply encouraged, and screamed to kill the personal soldiers behind Guo Yan. Guo Yan was defeated like this, and the scene suddenly fell into chaos, and Xu Chu, who was not far away, saw that Dian Wei's palm was in a hurry, and the long knife in his hand also sped up, and soon there was no enemy within five steps in front of him.

Under his leadership, the heavy infantry behind him also quickly took up a favorable position and routed the enemy in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Chu shouted: "Lao Dian, you can't let Guo Yan's old boy run away!" Keep an eye on it! Dian Wei grinned, increasing the strength of the twin iron halberds, and the casualties of the surrounding enemies increased significantly.

Four thousand heavy infantry, three thousand divine arm archers, and more than 7,000 people engulfed Guo Yan's small half of the camp like a tide.

At the same time, Zhang Fei also quickly broke through the camp gate, and after the heavy cavalry entered the camp, there was no enemy to resist head-on.

Although there were still more than 7,000 light cavalry in Guo's camp, under the oppression of the heavy cavalry, they were also defeated and retreated.

However, when they retreated again and again, they found that there were enemies on all sides, and it was impossible to escape, and they had to summon up the courage to fight again.

Guan Yu was in the north, and the camp had no door on this side, so Guan Yu was not in a hurry to attack, but seeing that the cavalry and infantry at both ends of the east and west had defeated the enemy in front of him, he finally couldn't sit still, and ordered his soldiers to use the weight of the war horse to start attacking the fence of Yaoyao Jade Pendant.

Soon, with the efforts of everyone, 3,000 heavy cavalry found a gap in the west and rushed into Guo Yan's camp.

Guo Yan was reluctant to flee to the big tent in the center of the camp under the escort of his own soldiers, but found that the enemy was surrounded from three sides, and Zhao Yun in the south was sitting on horseback and coldly watching everything that happened in the camp.

Guo Yan laughed miserably, he thought about various scenarios of being defeated by Wei Xuan, but he definitely didn't expect to lose another battle, and his side had no power to fight back at all, but it was ridiculous that he and Li Dao laughed at Xu Rong and Lu Bu at the beginning.

Now that I think about it, even Dong Zhuo led Lu Bu, Fan Chou and others to block Wei Xuan's frontal attack, so why did he fight Wei Xuan?

Just as Guo Yan feared, Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji first deceived Li Wei's scouts with a small force in the south, and after eliminating the scouts, some of the men and horses came to the camp to shoot rockets, but they did not rush to attack.

After Tai Shi Ci sent Mo Dao soldiers to block the east gate of Li Dao's camp, he did not rush to attack, but some of them went north along the fence, seemingly preparing to attack from the north gate, the east gate and the south gate at the same time.

Li Wei didn't wait for Guo Yan's reinforcements, and he also knew where Guo Yan was wrong, and then he climbed up the watchtower and saw that three or four miles to the north were lit with fires and killing sounds.

Li Wei frowned, Wei Xuan's 30,000 people plus Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji were only 40,000, and they had already sent 20,000 Wucha people to surround him, and Zhao Yun's 15,000 people and half of them were light cavalry, so there should be no such big movement, could it be that Guo Yan sent reinforcements south and was stopped by Zhao Yun for a field battle?

Half an hour passed, an hour passed, and the enemy of the three gates still did not attack. Although Li Wei's Xiliang soldiers were elite, they lacked training during this period and were not good at night battles.

By the time Li Dao found out that the situation was wrong, the battle in the north was almost over, and in the darkness he couldn't see the specific situation in Guo Yan's camp clearly, but the enemy attacked the camp from three sides, and the sound of shouting and killing moved beyond his imagination.

Li Dao decisively sent a large number of scouts from the West Gate to approach Guo Yan's camp, and then soon a large number of scouts were blocked back, followed by a large number of heavy cavalry from Zhang Liao.

Li Wei knew that the situation was not good, so he gathered all the cavalry to open the south gate of the camp, and he wanted to break through from the south.

To say that this is the cleverness of Li Dao. Bei Hiroshi's camp ended the battle so quickly, and it was absolutely impossible for Guo Yan to completely annihilate the enemy.

If Guo Yan has the advantage or wins, he will definitely be sent to contact. With the rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the northwest and Zhao Yun's troops cutting off his connection with Guo Yan's camp, Li Wei knew that evacuating from the West Gate was likely to be followed by the enemy.

When more than 10,000 cavalry suddenly came out, Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji were also taken aback, but Wei Xuan's task was only to block the camp gate, and now that Li Wei's main cavalry came out, they only dodged after symbolic resistance.

However, after Li Ji's cavalry all came out of the camp, Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji trapped the south gate again, this time they were not afraid of the infantry, because the number was about the same, and there were still many cavalry on their side.

The defenses on the other three sides also dispersed part of Li Dao's infantry. The task of pursuing Li Dao's cavalry was naturally entrusted to Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun.

Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji soon received an order to divide into two parts and attack Li Ji's camp from the south gate and the west gate. Tai Shi Ci attacked from the east gate and from the north.

In fact, when Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun led the cavalry to rumble past the center of the two camps, the infantry in Li Wei's camp had already been frightened.

And seeing that they were besieged by the enemy on all sides, and the camp of Guo Yan in the north was silent, they knew that Guo Yan had been solved by the enemy.

Then it was their turn, Tai Shici's 15,000 men plus Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji's 10,000 people, plus Zhao Yun's unfortunate infantry nearly three times the strength of the attack.

Li Dao's infantry battalion was soon captured as well. At dawn, the two camps in a mess began to restore order, and after a night of hard fighting, Guo Yan had 15,000 people, most of them were killed and wounded, and the rest were taken prisoner, and Guo Yan was also killed by Zhang Fei and other heavy cavalry in the fight.

The infantry in Li Ji's camp was the first to be attacked by Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji, with more than 2,000 dead and wounded, and after being besieged on all sides, three or four thousand were killed and wounded, and the rest were all taken prisoner.

Wei Xuan was also unequivocal, while sending people to contact Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, on the other hand, he organized and screened the prisoners on the spot, and all the Xiliang prisoners were handed over to Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji respectively, and the soldiers under his command reached more than 9,000.

Li Wei was very vigilant and fled with the cavalry as soon as possible, but he definitely didn't expect that there were more than 10,000 cavalry and more than 6,000 light cavalry chasing after him.

It was also a dark night, and those who explored the way in front naturally suffered a loss, plus Zhang Liao and Zhao Yunbu's cavalry and war horses had night combat training.

Along the way, the team that kept biting Li Dao slashed and slashed. When Li Wei got rid of Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun and returned to Shaanxi County, where the Son of Heaven was located, there were less than 5,000 cavalry left.

However, since he is here, he still has 5,000 infantry in the city and Guo Yan's 5,000 infantry. You can also continue to fight against Wei Xuan.

However, at dawn, he did not wait for Guo Yan's arrival, he knew that Guo Yan might be annihilated by Wei Xuanquan, and he did not dare to continue to stay in Shaanxi County.

So Li Wei took 15,000 people and the Son of Heaven and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to prepare to retreat to Chang'an and hold on. In Li Wei's view, although Wei Xuan is menacing, the long-distance transportation of grain and grass must be a problem, and he may be able to deal with Wei Xuan for a period of time with the tall and sturdy city wall of Chang'an, but if he can't do it, he can only flee directly to Liangzhou.
