Volume 2 War and Chaos Chapter 224
Zhang Fei also saw that Cao Jun was not in a state, so he directly asked Liu Bei to fight, wanting to take thousands of soldiers and horses out to catch Cao Jun off guard. Liu Bei also agreed to Zhang Fei's request, and at the same time sent three guards to protect Zhang Fei's safety.
Zhang Fei was directly killing these soldiers and horses at this time, and Cao Cao, who was far away in the big tent, also saw Zhang Fei's attack, which just matched the situation they wanted to see.
When Zhang Fei led his men and horses into Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao did not resist at this time, and directly retreated with the army, how could Zhang Fei let these deserters who could wantonly kill run away like this.
After Liu Bei got Zhang Fei's transmission, he directly asked the defenders on the flanks to step forward and charge with Zhang Fei, Cao Cao went down the way and directly retreated to the edge of the mountain range, if he wanted to continue to retreat, he had to lead the army over the entire mountain range.
Cao Cao waited for Zhang Fei to continue the pursuit, and only needed to enter the encirclement, then Zhang Fei would not be able to escape even if he had wings, Liu Bei, who was far away in the city, also reacted at this time, Cao Cao's abnormal retreat must be the art of war to invite you into the urn, and the situation of the third brother was not good, so he directly took the large military region to rescue Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei is not a fool, he naturally knows that this must be a trap, but it is precisely because it is a trap that he wants to try to see if he will plan, only change can make the entire battlefield have a turning point, if everything is set in stone, then the whole situation will be extremely disadvantageous to Liu Bei.
Zhang Fei led an army of tens of thousands of people directly to a canyon close to the mountain range, this is the pocket that Cao Cao used to retract, Zhang Fei naturally would not really get into the pocket, and directly led the army back, how could Cao Cao let Zhang Fei leave so easily, since they have already come, naturally they have to leave something to leave.
As soon as the order came out in the mountain camp, Zhang Fei left on the road where he retreated, and a lot of soldiers came out, these soldiers were Cao Cao's encirclement pockets, after all, Cao Cao's combat strength was abundant, and he didn't worry about the lack of manpower.
Zhang Fei knew at this time that this plan should be successful, Cao Cao wanted to use the encirclement strategy to trap Zhang Fei, but Zhang Fei would open his hands and let Cao Cao surround and kill him, naturally he would take action, Zhang Fei was not reckless, and this time the pursuit of victory was just Zhang Fei's decision to pursue by victory after careful consideration.
On the battlefield, only by seeking change can we turn defeat into victory, if we continue to hold on like this, Liu Bei must be a failure, which does not need to be considered too much at all, 300,000 against General Cao Cao's 700,000 army, this asymmetry in proportion directly made Liu Bei fall into a very passive state.
At this time, Cao Cao saw that Zhang Fei wanted to leave his encirclement, so he directly issued an order, so that all the soldiers hidden in the shadows were directly dispatched, and those soldiers directly surrounded Zhang Fei, and at the same time, the Cao soldiers who were pursued by Zhang Fei were all angry and killed Zhang Fei at this time.
In this case, Zhang Fei did not panic at all, in fact, Zhang Fei had already discovered the pursuit this time, and Zhang Fei also knew that there must be a conspiracy for the retreat of the Cao army this time, so Liu Bei and Zhang Fei simply came to a yang scheme, since it was said that Cao Cao was going to besiege Zhang Fei, then Zhang Fei directly took his soldiers and horses to kill him head, and Liu Bei had already come out to respond at this time, so it just formed a kind of reverse encirclement, which directly made Zhang Fei, who was still in a passive state, become an active state.
Moreover, there are chasing soldiers later, which can make those soldiers who come from Jingzhou have the will to fight, knowing that if they don't fight, they will die, so in order to survive, they will definitely go all out to fight.
Cao Cao is not a fool, but Cao Cao is more intelligent, knowing that Liu Bei wants to use this reverse encirclement method to directly send out the 400,000 troops who have been hiding outside the city, most of these troops go directly to attack the city, and the nearly 200,000 troops under him go to cut off Liu Bei's back road back to the city.
This is simply a plan, if it is not for ordinary people, it is difficult to understand, at this time in the city only Guan Yu guards the city, Guan Yu is a real Yuan Infant stage monk, after reaching the Yuan Infant Period, these human numbers of wars are actually not too threatening.
The 200,000 troops were killed from different positions, and the number of troops in the city who could defend the city was probably less than 50,000, and this was the 200,000 Cao army, which was full of black armor, which was the feeling in the hearts of the soldiers defending the city, the despair of not seeing hope.
This is also one of Cao Cao's tactics, directly disintegrating the opponent from the heart, fear will become Cao Cao's most powerful help.
Guan Yu also walked up to the city tower with the green dragon knife at this time, and when Guan Yu came, those hopeless soldiers seemed to be resurrected in an instant, just because of the kind of military soul that Guan Yu carried, this is a kind of cultivation method taught by Xiang Yu to increase his momentum, and it is precisely because of the practice of this kind of exercise that Xiang Yu is called the overlord by others.
Guan Yu seems to be standing on top of the city tower at this time, he can bring Cao Jun an incomparably huge Weiya, and bring a lot of bonuses to his own side, Guan Yu doesn't even need to make a move, it is already a huge help to all the soldiers.
Looking at the Xuanjia under the city tower under the black clouds pressing the city, Guan Yu knew that the eldest brother and the third brother were probably more than lucky this time, but as brothers, how could they not save it, Guan Yu immediately gathered all the combat units in the city at this time, all assembled, and prepared to open the city gate to fight Liu Bei.
Liu Bei is also in a dilemma, if he chooses to retreat, it is equivalent to letting Zhang Fei die, and if he advances, if he fails. That is to lose his own life and the life of his third brother, Liu Bei naturally chose to let the army rush in the direction of Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were separated by the tens of thousands of troops.
Liu Bei has no cavalry, if there is cavalry, it will naturally let the cavalry to disrupt the formation of the entire Cao army, although there is no cavalry, but the rest of the soldiers and horses are still very lush.
Liu Bei led an army of 100,000 to aid Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei did not live up to expectations, and directly took his own men and horses to kill, wherever Zhang Fei and the army led by Zhang Fei passed, it seemed to be half of the locust invasion, and it only took an instant to make all those Cao Cao's soldiers fall.
Zhang Fei is indeed an enemy of 10,000 people, and he can take the enemy's head among 10,000 people, and after Liu Bei and Zhang Fei will reconcile, the casualties will be more serious, so the two of them gave up Xinye City without saying a word, and chose to go to the place where they were originally prepared.
Guan Yu in the city also got the news immediately, and directly retreated with less than 50,000 troops directly to the safe evacuation place, this battle nominally belonged to Liu Bei to lose, but judging from the number of casualties, this time Liu Bei won the victory.
Just when Liu Bei and Cao Cao were cheating on the battlefield, in Jingzhou City, this day was destined not to be dull, just because Liu Bei actually died violently at home, which was an extremely terrifying thing.
Someone in the local area even asked a famous doctor to treat Liu Biao, and the final result of the famous doctor was nothing more than that the person's second qi had dissipated, and in this case, the reason for being killed or poisoned was thrown.
Liu Biao's death was not unexpected by Liu Bei, but Liu Bei was quite surprised that Liu Biao died so quickly, originally Liu Bei thought that although Liu Biao was blackened, his dead temperament was not so strong, but he didn't expect that it had only been a few days, and Liu Biao died directly in front of the bed.
The people of the entire Jingzhou are mourning, and Liu Biao's death means that many things are about to face a reshuffle, Liu Bei is now the person who has the most military power in the entire Jingzhou, so many people think that Liu Bei will be as hypocritical as Cao Cao.
This time he gave up the city directly, so Liu Bei's wife is still in the city, which is a very uncomfortable thing, plus Mrs. Mi has now given birth to a young master, Mrs. Mi is Liu Bei's wife, not just a concubine like Mrs. Gan.
Zhao Yun is the main candidate for this search for the young master's task, in fact, Zhao Yun has rarely fought on the battlefield over the years, and most of the time he follows Liu Bei, basically Liu Bei will understand the meaning behind what Liu Bei does.
