From the beginning of the Battle of the Foggy Night to the deception and retreat to lure the enemy, the two battles fought here in Fukong Mountain ended with Liu Beifang being calculated.

The losses were not insignificant, and only 15,000 troops remained after the defeat of the 30,000-strong army in two battles.

Of course, during this truce, after the wounded soldiers were recovered, the strength was barely enough to gather 18,000 men.

It's just that compared to the Cao army below, the military villages on the east and west sides are added together, and the strength can reach 25,000 people, if Zhuge Liang hadn't used the fire plan to break Xiahou Yuan's two or three thousand people, the number of Cao's army is probably more than that.

Due to the disparity in troops, coupled with the difficulties of logistics and supply, it is not too much for the Liu family to say that they are in danger of being overhanged.

And what has always worried Zhuge Liang is that since Guan Yu led the army into Anfeng, there has been no battle report, which makes him deeply uneasy.

Liu Bei is very open to this, the second brother is invincible in the world, there are still 20,000 troops under his command, there is nothing wrong, originally this time he was just a containment task, and he does not need to go to war head-on, plus the road is far away, there is no news to prove that it is okay.

Of course, there is also good news, the reinforcements that Zhuge Liang had been thinking about finally arrived on the battlefield.

This also means that the battle between Cao and Liu on the Floating Mountain will enter the final showdown.

This time, the army of 18,000 did not leave any reserves, and even all the meat in the battalion was taken out for the army to feast, so that it could deal this fatal blow.

Zhuge Liang watched the sky at night, and the recent haze weather was conducive to sneak attacks, and there were also light rainy nights, but he didn't use any of them.

Guo Jia is dead, and the matter has been answered by the Cao Jun scouts who were captured by Zhang Fei.

Therefore, he speculated that the more complicated the weather, the more vigilant Cao Jun would be, and on the contrary, he chose an ordinary early morning to launch a general attack, which would be more able to take him by surprise.

After Liu Bei finished the final pre-war mobilization, he personally went down the mountain with 18,000 troops with Zhang Fei and Huo Jun, with a clear goal, and went straight to Xiahou Yuan's Chinese army tent.

Having been facing each other for a full term, Liu Jun brazenly launched an attack and caught Xiahou Yuan off guard.

He also remembered Guo Jia's instructions, and would strictly prevent Liu Jun from making trouble every night, so in the long run, even the biological clock was reversed, basically sleeping during the day, and guarding with the soldiers at night.

He didn't think about killing Liu Bei's more than 10,000 people, it was nothing more than to exhaust the grain and grass they consumed, and it would be over if he retreated.

While keeping Wuling, it will be much less difficult to go down to Lingling.

God knows, Liu Jun not only launched an attack, but also in the middle of the day, although the distance of several miles rushing down from the mountain was normally enough for the soldiers to put on their armor.

But after all, more troops were deployed at night, and at this point in time, how long had they been asleep, and they were tired, and suddenly heard the horn of the enemy's attack, and they all got up in a panic and armed.

is to put on armor and pick up weapons, and the whole person is also a little sluggish.

What Xiahou Yuan didn't expect was that Liu Beijun didn't come, as soon as he came, it was stud, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Huo Jun rushed into the village with a large army in the rain of arrows, not to mention the destruction of the withering and decaying, but the two sides did have a one-sided situation.

The slack plagiarism who was in charge of the daytime guard only flew past Zhang Fei as soon as he came up, and he was pierced by his spear, straight forward, and flew out upside down.

Seeing this, Gao Zuo retreated, he was not cowardly, but he knew that the battlefield could not be commanded by no one, and he needed to wait until Xiahou Yuan led the army to the front position, which was the time when he fell into battle.

"Xiahou Yuan is here, the big-eared thief will die!" After sending cavalry to ask Zhang He for help, Xiahou Yuan rushed up with a spear and a group of late-night soldiers who were not in good condition.

There are 18,000 people in Liu Jun's camp, and there are only 13,000 soldiers in the entire Xiahou Yuan's camp, and the rest are in Zhang He's camp.

In terms of both state and quantity, which is obviously superior to Cao's army, the Jingzhou army is considered to be as morale as a rainbow.

But as soon as Xiahou Yuan arrived on the battlefield, he first overturned the five Liu soldiers with spears, and then kept shouting: "Don't panic, soldiers, Zhang He has brought troops to help, just wait for the inside and outside to gather and annihilate Liu Jun, kill!" ”

That's what he shouted, and that's what he thought.

You Liu Bei can indeed catch me off guard, but now that the troops are all spread out, you can bargain for some cheapness, but when Zhang He arrives with people, your people are already short of troops, and there is no chance to retreat like before.

It is difficult for twenty or thirty thousand people to have a chance to kill the generals, even if Xiahou Yuan constantly shouts his name, even if Zhang Fei rides on the snow and wreaks back and forth on the battlefield, after all, the battle line is too long, and the figure of the opponent's main general cannot be found at all.

"Don't retreat, give me a stand-off, reinforcements will arrive immediately, whoever dares to retreat will be beheaded by me!" Rao is Xiahou Yuan and Gao Zuo were personally trapped, but they did not stop this situation.

It didn't take too long for Zhang He, who was a few miles away, to rush over, and the problem of breaking points was not big, as long as there was no phenomenon of rout and escape.

In the camp, the lines of soldiers intersected, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the sounds of fighting and screams swept together, daring to make the world bleak.

Just like that, seeing that the two sides seemed to have entered a fierce battle of hand-to-hand combat, and that none of their own soldiers had broken and fled, Xiahou Yuan became more and more sure.

Moreover, their own cavalry began to exert their power, and they kept putting Liu Jun down along the sideline, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many obstacles in the stockade, the effect of more than 2,000 cavalry would have been better.

"General, look, our big man!" As a sergeant pointed out, Xiahou Yuan followed the prestige, and the 'Xiahou' Daxu actually fell.

Xiahou Yuan's heart also sank.

This. How is this possible!

It can be seen with the naked eye that the number of Liu troops on this battlefield is definitely more than 15,000, where can Liu Bei arrange a second force to sneak attack the Chinese army's tent.

You must know that it is such a bloody battle of life and death, and there are hundreds of sergeants around the Chinese military tent to defend the big pole that condenses the hearts of the army.

The generals captured the flag and chilled the hearts of the army, and Daxu was cut down, in the eyes of Cao Jun, this is the Chinese military tent has fallen.

This also means that there is a force behind them, and they don't know the number of them, they only know that the power that can put down hundreds of soldiers in the army tent in the Gongwei is not weak.

So, they immediately get caught in the middle of being caught in the front and back.

This is bad news for Cao Jun, but it is undoubtedly an exciting scene for Liu Jun.

Great, arrived in time, Cao's army has been broken, and Jingnan can be decided! Liu Bei seemed to have seen the word 'Liu' inserted in Wuling and above the city head of Nanjun.

Of course, it doesn't matter if this Liu is Liu Qi's Liu or Liu Bei's Liu, they are all a family anyway.

"Xiahou Miaocai! Xiahou Miaocai! Xiahou Miaocai! "There is a sound of the collapse of the army's heart, Xiahou Yuan heard it, so he roared hysterically, just to tell the soldiers not to panic, I am still here, and I must not retreat.

With his prestige, this approach is certainly also effective.

However, the one who should have arrived arrived on time as everyone expected.

The first to go was a tall horse, the person on the horse was dressed in animal robes, the tiger's back was bear's waist, his face was full of beard, his face was like blood, his blue eyes were prominent, and a rod of thistle terrestris bones went into battle like a string of sugar gourds to stab over the two Cao soldiers.

Behind him, there was a group of people dressed in different clothes, some wrapped in animal robes, some dressed in plain civilian clothes, and even some wearing Jingzhou army armor, with a strange scream from their mouths.

This. Is this a mountain bandit?

It's not strange that Xiahou Yuan doesn't know him, but the name of Shamoke, who is good at making double bows and is not majestic, has always heard of it.

It's just that although the barbarians of Shamoko and the tribe, who live a wild life, are brave and good at fighting, they do not have the habit of reporting their families to make a name for themselves like other generals.

Therefore, even if they all posted it, Xiahou Yuan was still confused, he didn't know where this group of mountain bandits came from and why they suddenly appeared, he only knew that his soldiers were falling one by one in the two-line bag at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Morale will collapse immediately if it doesn't get a timely callback after a sharp turn.

Even if Xiahou Yuan shouted out his throat, it could not prevent the collapse of the army's heart.

It's not surprising at all, as the defender of the village, he was first caught off guard, and then he was cut down when the strength and state were weaker than the downwind, and finally he had to face front and rear attacks.

Not to mention an ordinary sergeant, even if he is an elite in a hundred battles, it is difficult to stabilize his mind in the face of this kind of bad news that is stacked after wave.

Xiahou Yuan's mind is now full of a word of repentance, Guo Jia's last words are obviously to let him withdraw to Nanjun, and the price of insisting on going his own way is to put more than 10,000 people into it.

He knew in his heart that not only the more than 10,000 people, but also Nanjun, the lifeblood of Jingzhou, would not be able to defend it.

Zhang He, who rushed to the rescue, may also be killed.

It's just that he can't calculate anything, he will be crushed to defeat by a group of mountain bandits, he really can't imagine that in addition to Zhang Yan, where else can such a group of mountain bandits run out in this world.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you also know that with Cao Cao's strength today, the only strength in the world that can compete with Lu Lin head-on, where do ordinary mountain bandits dare to argue with him.

Only the barbarian tribe of Shamoko who recognizes money but not people dares to do this.

When the wolf smoke outside the fang was everywhere and Jingzhou was peaceful, he would still do some murderous and oversold business, Zhuge Liang made a move with 3,000 gold, 2,000 cloth and a lot of iron, which was difficult to make Shamoke unmoved.

In addition, the news of the barbarian tribe is blocked, and he only knows that Cao Cao is a prince of one side, and he has some strength, but how strong the strength is, Shamoke is not clear.

In recent years, the news I got was all about Cao Cao's defeat to the Lu Lin Group, and he didn't think it was a difficult opponent, so he just let go of his courage and did it.

There are not too many people from Shamoke, only four or five thousand people, if it is all the way from Wuling to Fukong Mountain, it will be enough in about ten days.

It's just that Zhuge Liang asked him to go out day and night, and walk close to the mountain, which delayed for such a long time.

It is precisely because of this that he was able to avoid the scouts coming and going in the rear of the Cao army, causing this situation of divine soldiers descending from the sky.

Cao's army was defeated, some people fled, some fell to the ground, and some followed Xiahou Yuan to fight to the death.

As the battle circle continued to shrink, there were only two or three thousand soldiers and horses left in Cao Jun's battle, and they were still divided into more than a dozen battle circles, and the speed of death was much faster than condensing a group.

Zhang Fei finally found Xiahou Yuan as well, and stabbed him with a spear without any cruel words.

The two fought a bloody battle, Zhang Fei, who was already overpowering Xiahou in martial arts, brought a big victory, where was Xiahou Yuan, who was at the end of the road, could stop it, and was stabbed and fell to the ground by the war horse in just a dozen rounds.

The black horse jumped high and stabbed Xiahou Yuan fiercely with the power of this falling spear.

Sonor!

At the critical moment, a force came, which was not too big, but it made Zhang Fei's spear change its trajectory and failed to stab Xiahou Yuan, who was full of horror.

"The third brother must not hurt his life!" It's Liu Bei.

"Why?"

Zhang Fei withdrew his spear and wondered: "Zhang He's people will be killed later, isn't it right to use Xiahou Yuan's head to deter the enemy army?" ”

"It's good, but it's good."

This is a long story, Liu Bei sighed and said: "Listen to the military advisor, hurry, hurry up and prepare to counterattack Zhang He's soldiers and horses!" ”

Zhuge Liang said, you have to listen, Zhang Fei immediately obediently asked Xiahou Yuan to tie up.

Xiahou Yuan was captured, and the others, even the personal guards, also lost their confidence in fighting

Almost at the same time, Zhang He arrived with people.

Just watched Xiahou Yuan being tied up and struggling desperately, and his heart was cold.

This is too fast, after receiving the express, he immediately ordered the army to put on armor, counting the time it took to run all the way, it was only more than half an hour, Xiahou Yuan had more than 10,000 people on hand, even more than 10,000 pigs, and Liu Jun couldn't catch it.

Of course, he saw a lot of deserters before entering the village just now, and he knew that something was wrong, but he didn't expect the situation to be so bad.

Reason told him that at this time, the wisest thing to do was to withdraw, and before the war began, the main general was captured, and the fear in the eyes of the group of soldiers under his command could not be hidden, and it was not conducive to fighting again.

But if he just ran away with someone, after he went back, Cao Cao asked, can he spare himself?

Xiahou Yuan was a core member of the Cao family, he didn't dare to gamble, he could only hope that Liu Jun was tired after a bloody battle and was unable to fight again.

In an instant, Zhang He made up his mind to give it a go, and even, as long as he could save Xiahou Yuan, it didn't hurt to break some soldiers and horses.

The two armies fought a bloody battle.

In this battle, in terms of morale, Liu Jun naturally had the advantage, and there were also Shamoke's brute soldiers to help the battle, and the morale was like a rainbow.

If you want to say that you are at a loss, it is that your physical strength is not comparable to the soldiers and horses brought by Zhang He, and the formation is indeed a little chaotic.

As soon as the war between the two sides began, it was a white-hot exchange of lives.

In Dazhai, the soldiers on both sides wrestled in blood and water, and the battle lasted from early morning to noon.

The final result is self-evident, of course, Zhang He was defeated and left, only Liu Jun was also seriously injured, and there were less than 4,000 people who could stand, counting the wounded soldiers on the ground, I was afraid that it would be sad to count the number of 6,000.

That's it, still relying on Shamoko's brute soldiers.

Of the 30,000 people, there were only a few thousand left in the end, and the sacrifices in this battle were not insignificant.

But Liu Bei finally won, he stood in the sea of corpses and blood, holding the male and female swords in both hands, holding his head high, facing the direction of Xuchang in the northeast, with tears in his eyes.

"Congratulations to the lord, this time you successfully broke through the Cao army and captured Xiahou Yuan, so Nanjun will be able to get it smoothly!" Zhuge Liang, who was driven down from the mountain, was very excited.

Two lines of clear tears fell, Liu Bei turned his back to Zhuge Liang, and choked up: "I finally defeated the Cao army, and I can finally recover Jingnan, Your Majesty, the minister Liu Bei, will definitely restore the Han Dynasty!" ”

With that, he fell to his knees with a puff and bowed north.

Liu Bei's excitement is not difficult to understand.

When he was in Xuzhou, he was driven by Lu Bu, and when he arrived in Xuchang, he was monitored by Cao Cao, and finally pulled up a group of soldiers and horses to Anfeng, and was calculated by Lin Mo.

After wandering to Jingzhou, he was killed by Cai Mao several times, and after several years of panic, he finally survived, and defeated 30,000 Cao troops in a battle, and even Xiahou Yuan became a prisoner.

With tears in his eyes, he saw Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, stretching out his hand to help him, seeing the revival of the Han Dynasty in danger, and seeing Emperor Gaozu smile happily for himself.

Nanjun, you can overlook the entire Jingzhou, but you can enter the Sichuan in the west, this is the road to its own rise, the milestone of the great cause of rejuvenation.

"Big brother, hahaha, big brother, now we send it!" Zhang Fei happily ran over like a child of more than 200 pounds, and looked at Liu Bei who was kneeling on the ground a little confused.

Only then did Liu Bei clean up his excitement, and stood up and looked at Zhang Fei with Zhuge Liang's support, "What's wrong?" ”

"Big brother, I have counted it just now, there are more than 100,000 stones of grain and grass in this village, more than 1,500 war horses of the Cao army, and countless armor and weapons, haha!" Typical poor scared.

Liu Bei was silent after hearing this, and turned to Zhuge Liang to bow his hand to the student, and the frightened latter hurriedly helped, "Lord." ”

"Kong Ming, if I didn't go out of the mountain, I am afraid that I would not have had the opportunity to obtain today's fruits in my life.

I thank you for the people of Jingnan, thank you for the people of the world, the Han can prosper, and the people can be saved" At the excitement, tears overflowed again.

"The lord's words are heavy, and he only does his best to make a modest effort, and this battle depends on the lord's prestige." Business blows each other.

Zhang Fei didn't want to spoil the scenery, but he still couldn't help asking: "Military Division, this Cao army is defeated, but we are just such people, not to mention how to conquer Nanjun, we can't hold it if we take it." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, waved his feather fan and said calmly: "Yide, rest assured, I have already made arrangements, and Xiahou Yuan is the key person for us to knock on Jiangling City."

As for defending the city, have you forgotten the 20,000 troops in Yun Chang's hands? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Fei laughed, "Yes, yes, I forgot about the second brother at once, I have long heard that Jiangling City is impregnable, there are more than 20,000 people, plus I and the second brother are here, even if he Cao Cao personally led the troops to come, what about it?" ”

Liu Bei also smiled, clasped his hands in front of him, and only felt that this moment had vented all the humiliation that had accumulated in his heart.

The air is so fresh, and the rivers and mountains are so charming.

Living in this world, as a descendant of the Liu family, to complete the feat of saving the common people, everything is just right.

"My lord! Lord! Woe to you! ”

When the three of them were looking forward to a better future, Mi Zhu, who had been staying in Changsha, rode a horse.
