Although Guan Yu was slightly injured, from the moment Liu Xun abandoned the army and fled, the complete collapse of his army was already doomed.

Guan Yu was very resolute, even if he was shot by a crossbow arrow, because he was protected by heavy armor, he did not hurt his internal organs and did not puncture his arteries.

Therefore, he only asked his henchman Colonel to simply pull out an arrow and bandage it, and then continued to pretend to be safe and command the battle.

He also had a great talent for thinking of an improvisation trick that made his soldiers shout in unison to publicize Liu Xun's death.

Didn't Liu Xun change his bronze helmet and wrap his rag cloak and run? The bronze helmet he dropped happened to be particularly conspicuous in the burned Chinese army's tent.

Guan Yu asked people to casually pick up the head of the middle-level general of the Yuan army that he chopped off, scratched his face, put Liu Xun's helmet up, and shouted this "Liu Xun's head" before rushing to kill, and the rest of the camp completely collapsed.

And Chen Lan, who was born as a Huoshan thief like Lei Bo, was originally taking his hundreds of horsemen to prepare to fight the fire and plug the leak, but when he saw the head of the "Fujun", he directly chose to preserve his strength, leaving behind the infantry brothers who were still suffering and ran away.

After another tea time, the main force of the rear army under Liu Bei's command of 5,000 people finally rushed to the battlefield in the south of the city on two legs.

They were already facing a completely collapsed Liu Xun camp, and the sky was beginning to light slightly, so they didn't have to worry about the army rushing into battle and trampling on each other and being injured by mistake.

About 4,000 men divided into two wings, playing the role of a hammer all the way, rushing into the camp, playing the role of an anvil all the way, detouring back to the south of the camp to intercept the shouts, driving away and annihilating the enemy.

Under this kind of flanking attack, Liu Xunbu was killed, wounded and captured, and the rest were scattered and fled like headless flies. And all those who chose to flee south were all killed by Liu Beijun.

Guan Yu saw that Liu Bei had arrived, and the battle situation was already decided, and he was relieved that he had been holding on for a long time, and he was relieved to hand over the task of expanding the results of the follow-up to the eldest brother.

As soon as the brothers met, Guan Yu gasped for breath, and complained very invisibly: "Why did it come so slowly, I had already killed a stick of incense before the rear army arrived." ”

Liu Bei first casually cared about Guan Yu's injury, and then pointed to the south and said, "It's not that you want to be perfect, you want to encircle and annihilate the enemy army more." It is not enough to defeat Liu Xun, if the remnants of the enemy flee south, we will not be able to catch up with them at that time, and they will return to Guangling County to regroup, and it will take a lot of effort.

Therefore, I first let half of the men and horses go around to the south of the camp to set up an ambush, and the rest enter the camp to rush and kill. As long as Liu Xun's troops fled westward, they would only pursue their tails and never intercept them, and it was best to lead them to the northwest.

And if there are die-hard thieves fleeing south, they will kill and encircle and capture the prisoners with all their might. In just a short period of time, thousands of southern fleeing soldiers have been intercepted and killed, and there are even more people who have been captured, and they are all thieves who are loyal to Yuan Shu. ”

Liu Bei's deployment was also because he had learned from Zhuge Jin's thinking before, and regarded the Battle of Huaiyin and the subsequent Battle of Guangling as a whole to deploy.

It is better to suffer now than to exchange for the follow-up ease, and never let one more enemy flee back to Guangling County.

Guan Yu listened, was a little relieved, and hurriedly confirmed: "The remaining half of the troops, but they are ambushed halfway to Ji Ling's reinforcements as planned?" ”

Liu Bei patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, isn't this planned before the war, there is Shu Zhi on the left, and there is a national concession on the right, Ji Ling came to help in a hurry, panicked, and there will be an opportunity." After we're done cleaning up, let's go and reinforce them. ”

The two generals mentioned by Liu Bei are still not famous.

Uncle Zhi is Chen Zhi, Liu Bei was shown as the assassin of Yuzhou for more than a year, just came to the door, came to work, came from a relatively humble background, only relied on martial arts and courage to gradually accumulate merit and promotion, to lead two or three thousand troops at a time, in fact, it is still not qualified, and now it is also the first time he has led so many troops, it is really Liu Bei has no more choice in embarrassment.

In history, Tian Yu took refuge in Liu Bei very early, but before and after Liu Bei's defeat in Xuzhou and his appointment as the pastor of Yuzhou, Tian Yu returned to his hometown on the grounds of his mother's old age and went to find Gongsun Zan again.

Because these two people are currently at a relatively low level, Zhuge Jin has not seen them in just two days in Huaiyin, and he doesn't even know that they are now under Liu Bei. These deployments were all made by Liu Bei himself.

Now that history has changed, Liu Bei's troops have not collapsed, and Tian Yu has not returned home. Both he and Chen Zhi were dragged into this battle that had been transformed, and they rushed to the top, and they also got the opportunity to show their performance by the way.

……

After another quarter of an hour, the sky was a little brighter, but not yet fully bright, and it was half past five in the morning.

In the direction of the southwest corner of Huaiyin City, a large group of Yuan Shu soldiers rushed from northwest to southeast, obviously it was Ji Lingjun stationed in the east of the city, who got the news that Liu Xun was broken by the robbery camp, and rushed to reinforcements after hastily forming the team.

Liu Bei was very stable and did not choose to divide his troops and rob two enemy camps at the same time, because he knew that it was difficult to ensure complete synchronization in time.

In this era, there are no accurate timekeeping tools that are easy to carry in the field, and the time can only be estimated by looking at the angle of the moonlight at night, and the error is too great. Once you choose to rob Ji Ling and Liu Xun at the same time, the final result is likely to be that one side will make the first move, and when the other side makes a hasty move, the enemy will already be slightly alert, and the suddenness will not be so good.

In this case, it is better to be steady, rob one way, and then ambush halfway to reinforcements from the other road.

The simpler the tactics, the higher the tolerance rate, which is also natural.

Ji Ling and Liu Xun's camp are only more than ten miles apart, so after the whole camp on Liu Xun's side caught fire in the dark night, Ji Ling saw the fire, and without waiting for Liu Xun to ask for help, he took the initiative to order troops to come out for reinforcements.

But Ji Ling didn't know how many enemies there were, whether there was fraud or not, he didn't dare to give up his camp, so he only dared to divide his troops to help. This will undoubtedly weaken the combat power, but there is no way to do it.

Time did not allow Ji Ling to slowly gather more people.

There are not many terrain that can be ambushed outside Huaiyin City, who made the Northern Jiangsu Plain too flat, there are no mountains, no hills.

The only ambush location can only be in the groves on the edge of the ridges.

Such terrain cannot be hidden in the daytime, and the visibility is too good, but at half past five in the morning in autumn, there is no problem at all.

When Ji Lingbu hurriedly passed by the two forests in the southeast of the city, Chen Zhi and Tian Yu were waiting for him on both sides.

Chen Zhi was very nervous in his heart, and when he saw Ji Ling arrive, his soldiers almost couldn't hold their breath and were about to rush out directly.

But before leaving, the lord's earnest instructions to him made Chen Zhi endure it. He suppressed military discipline in a low and stern voice, preventing his subordinates from being reckless.

"If Ji Ling is ambushed for a while, he must not kill recklessly, and he must wait for more than half of his soldiers and horses to intercept and intercept. Unless Ji Ling is the first to discover the ambush of our army, he will be allowed to be forced to counterattack. ”

This was the order Liu Bei gave him, in order to ensure that Ji Ling was inflicted as hard as possible, rather than just repelling.

Chen Zhi didn't understand it at first, but in the last quarter of an hour before the war, Liu Bei chose to put his heart into him and told him part of the truth.

Tell Chen Dao, "Our army only has one chance, if Ji Ling is defeated and does not retreat, and continues to choose to besiege the city after returning to the camp after defeat, then after this battle, our army will no longer have the will to fight, so we must destroy the enemy with one blow." ”

Liu Bei knows very well that even if he doesn't say this now; After this battle, as the Huaiyin encirclement spreads and the food in the city runs out, the soldiers will know sooner or later.

Telling the generals half an hour in advance, but not telling the soldiers, is also a kind of trust in the generals.

At least according to Liu Bei's knowledge and emotional intelligence, with his observations, Chen Zhi can be trusted in this regard.

Liu Bei didn't look at the wrong person, Chen Zhi was really moved by this trust, and he felt a lot of pressure in his heart, and silently made up his mind:

You must hold back, you can't be in a hurry, you can't kill and scare the enemy off immediately, and you must strictly follow the orders of the lord......
