Guan Yu led Pao Ze and rushed all the way to the village gate a hundred steps away. He even took advantage of the infantry patrol in the camp to pass by, separated some of his subordinates, and grabbed several horses and deer antlers with hooks and ropes.
Then with a loud shout, he violently tore down the horse and deer antlers to the ground, and even tore down a few wooden fence pickets buried in the rammed earth that served as the camp wall.
"Kill!" Guan Yu shouted and jumped into the gap in the camp wall where the pickets of the fence had been torn over.
"Kill!" The cavalry behind him were also full of morale and swarmed in from the position they had just destroyed.
The infantry patrolling the camp finally reacted and immediately rushed to the shouting place.
But they had no idea how many enemies were coming. Guan Yu waved the Qinglong Saber and flew left and right, slashing seven or eight enemies in a row.
"Hurry up and set it on fire! Grab Thief Yuan's torch and set it on fire!"
While Guan Yu was slashing and killing, he was also shouting with great agility.
He noticed that the torches carried by his cavalry might have become damp because they had not been lit along the way. But those Yuan Jun infantry patrols who were killed just now were patrolling the camp walls at night with torches.
In this case, they snatched Yuan Jun's torch on the spot, burned Yuan Jun's camp, and made the chaos even greater!
The cavalrymen under his command were inspired by Guan Yu's order and immediately followed his instructions. While shouting to kill, they set fire to it.
…
"What's the noise! Why is there such a noise in the army?"
Liu Xun woke up from his sleep feeling dizzy and yelled loudly with official authority.
Until this moment, he still had no awareness of "already being attacked".
But this can't be blamed on him. He was originally a civil servant and worked his way up from county magistrate to county guard. Now the main official position given to him by Yuan Shu is "Prefect of Lujiang".
Liu Xun's battlefield sense is naturally much worse than that of a full-time general like Ji Ling.
However, after he arrived in Huaiyin, because he did not need to consider the issue of storming for the time being, he only planned to focus on siege. Therefore, the location of his camp and the distance from Huaiyin City were further away from the city than Ji Ling's camp.
After all, when Ji Ling first set up camp, he considered deploying a force attack. The camp was too far away from the city, and it would be too troublesome to build siege weapons and transport them to the front line.
It was really impossible for Liu Xun to figure out why there were enemies who would rather stay far away than stay close. Even if you want to rob the camp, you should choose the Ji Ling camp which is easier to rob, right?
But it just happened.
With the loud shouts of killing, accompanied by the shining flames, and the shimmering light gradually reflected on the curtains of the Chinese army tent, Liu Xun finally came to his senses completely.
"Where is Chen Lan? Why didn't we patrol and detect the enemy attack? Each battalion quickly formed a formation to meet the enemy!"
Liu Xun angrily scolded the attendants around him and asked them to put on the clothes for him. Then he issued several inconsistent and confusing military orders in a loud voice while putting on the clothes.
For a while, he asked each battalion to assemble into formation, but then he remembered that it seemed to waste too much time, and it was better to fight on the spot individually.
It can only be said that if you suddenly force yourself to get up without waking up, your mind will be confused for a while.
While Liu Xun's troops were fighting on their own, Guan Yu had set fire everywhere. When Liu Xun put on his armor hastily and went out of the tent, there were already more than a dozen fires rising in front of his eyes. In the darkness, he had no idea how many enemy troops were coming.
"Why is there so much movement everywhere? How many troops does Liu Bei have?"
Liu Xun felt a burst of blood rush to his head. When he was frightened, he suddenly felt that among the many noises, there was a rumbling sound of iron hoofs that was particularly obvious, and it became louder and louder from far to near.
After all, he still had the common sense to lead troops, and he immediately realized that a large group of cavalry was rushing towards his Chinese army camp.
"Hand the crossbow and the chariot staff to defend against the enemy! We must fight to the death and not retreat!" Liu Xun shouted loudly, asking all the archers around him to stand ready, and even drew out his sword and killed two running away.
He has come to realize that this is his last hope to prevent the collapse of the entire battalion.
There is no formal barrier between the Chinese military camp and the outer tents.
But Liu Xun had some experience in leading troops, so when he set up camp, he also knew how to use baggage vehicles to circle the central military area. When Gan Ning Baiqi in another time and space robbed Cao Cao's camp, he was unable to break through to Cao Cao's central army. It was precisely because Cao Cao used the same trick that he densely surrounded the Chinese army's tent with carts and sticks when setting up camp.
The obstacles formed by these vehicles prevented the cavalry from rushing in quickly and could only break through a few intersections dedicated to entry and exit.
There are usually a few Juma at those intersections, but after all, Juma are lighter than large vehicles and are easy to move when passing.
Liu Xun also knew where his weakness was, so he let the crossbowmen carry chariot sticks to guard and fire freely, and then gathered all the spearmen, swordsmen, and shieldmen of the Chinese army into the gaps where there were no chariot sticks and only relied on horseback. , hope to keep it.
As for the outer camps, he couldn't care about it for the time being, so he just let Liu Bei's army, who didn't know how many, charge in and kill them. Only by stabilizing the Chinese army can there be hope.
However, the enemy on the opposite side obviously did not intend to let Liu Xun get his wish.
In the dark night, Liu Xun ordered the soldiers to line up and gag, but after all, they could not move their arms and fingers. Many soldiers were just driven to those blocked battlefields, but they couldn't find the robes at all. They didn't know the soldiers and the generals. They just stood there casually holding spears and spears at a loss.
Because there is no commander, the soldiers have just been woken up, everyone is not fully equipped with armor and weapons, and they don’t know the people next to them. Who doesn’t want to push others to the front to resist harm, while hiding behind to take advantage of themselves?
Yuan Shu always used power instead of virtue to govern the army. The soldiers sacrificed their lives for him simply out of fear and the fear of resisting the nobles of the fourth generation and the three nobles. Now without the deterrence of the directly subordinate officers who usually directly suppressed the soldiers, the soldiers were simply unwilling to sacrifice their lives.
And it was this brief chaos that gave the enemy on the opposite side a chance to break through.
…
"That's enough! Gather the troops on both wings and follow me directly to Liu Xun's army's tent! There is a gap in the car array in front. Follow me to break through the resisting horses and attack Liu Xun directly!"
After randomly setting half a circle of fire in the outer camp, killing about two cups of tea, and ensuring that the enemy army was completely in chaos,
Guan Yu's battlefield sense was very keen and he noticed that there was a very tightly defended circle in the middle of the enemy camp. They were almost surrounded by cars. He knew that Liu Xun must be inside.
So he ordered the hundreds of cavalry following him to adjust their tactical goals in time, regroup the fighting force that had been charging randomly, and planned to seize the opportunity to go straight to the heart.
The flames, killing and trampling just now have caused enough chaos to prevent Liu Xun's left and right battalions from organizing a rescue of the Chinese army's tent. In this case, it is enough to achieve this level. There is no need to use charging and killing as an excuse. service.
He only has a thousand cavalry under his command, while Liu Xun has more than thirteen thousand. It is impossible to solve them all by slashing and sprinting, and it is even more dangerous if they are entangled.
It is the task of Big Brother's main force of 10,000 infantry to pursue and annihilate the main force.
Guan Yu was always kind and considerate, and the soldiers were also very kind and loyal. As soon as they rushed to the gap in the car formation, they used hooks to catch the Ju horses, and then dragged and pulled them hard, using the pulling force of the horses to drag the Ju horses over. On the ground, make a way.
However, in the darkness, there were only a few elite soldiers who could use scratching hooks to bind them securely from a distance. Most of the cavalrymen with scratching hooks could not be tied tightly even after being thrown several times. They could only dismount and rush forward to push, tie and break the obstacles.
Upon seeing this, Liu Xun's crossbowmen on both sides quickly fired at the gap in the car array. The spearmen and shieldmen in the gap also shouted and stepped forward, stabbing and slashing randomly in an attempt to scare away the barrier breaker.
In an instant, three or four Guan Yu's cavalrymen who had broken through the barrier were stabbed to the ground, and more than ten people were wounded by crossbows.
Guan Yu's eyes were red and his anger was blazing, but fortunately, after paying about twenty lives, the obstacle blocking the road was finally completely removed.
At this moment, Guan Yu finally rushed in like an arrow from the string. His green dragon sword danced wildly, flying left and right, slashing down Liu Xun's soldiers who were blocked.
The personal guards behind Guan Yu are also very powerful. Since the generals are so brave and fearless of death, why should the soldiers not die? What's more, Guan Yu is a general who is good at sharing the joys and sorrows with his soldiers.
Originally, spearmen had certain advantages over cavalry in narrow terrain. However, in the state of Yuan's army giving in to each other and beggar-thy-neighbor, the formation was not neat, and the direction of the spears and spears could not be unified. It was natural that Guan Yu broke through the gap.
"It's Guan Yu! Run! It's Guan Yu!"
The hundreds of close combat soldiers who were gathered and silenced by Liu Xun finally collapsed completely after suffering more than a hundred casualties. The entire process did not even last for a cup of tea.
The Guan Yu army's cavalry on the opposite side charged and fought in such a narrow terrain, and the casualties were actually not small. They also suffered forty or fifty casualties in a short period of time. However, the morale of Guan Yu's personal guards was able to withstand such casualties. Live towards death.
"Hurry up and fire the arrows! Fire the arrows! Don't worry about your own people, just fire arrows at the crowd in the gap in the car formation!" Liu Xun looked anxiously from behind. Seeing that the last line of defense was about to collapse, he angrily let the bows on the two wings of the baggage carts Crossbowmen, shoot indiscriminately.
"Fu Jun, don't do it! The soldiers fighting in the gap, our army has more people than Guan Yu. I'm afraid that firing arrows like this will cause more casualties among our own people!" After hearing this, a small school student next to Liu Xun begged to dissuade him.
But Liu Xun knew that he couldn't be soft-hearted at this time. He kicked the admonisher and shouted loudly: "Guan Yu's attack camp is all cavalry. How many people can there be? It is because our army is in chaos that it becomes This is the current situation!
Exchange my life with Guan Yu! Even exchanging two or three for one is still a good deal! Kill all the cavalry fighting over there, and Guan Yu will have to retreat! "
The archers of Liu Xun's department quickly began to shoot arrows indiscriminately towards the gap that was about to be lost, without distinguishing between friend and enemy. For a moment, the crowd howled violently, and countless Yuan Jun soldiers themselves were completely stunned by the arrows shot from behind and from both sides.
When Guan Yu saw this, his heart trembled slightly, and he quickly realized Liu Xun's intention.
Things have come to this, we can only move forward!
Guan Yu shouted: "Liu Xun even killed his own people, why are you still working for him? Those who surrender will not be killed!"
The soldiers nearby also shouted in various ways, nothing more than reminding the enemy, "If you continue to block here and fight to the death, sooner or later, you will be shot by arrows fired from behind by your own people."
After a very short fierce exchange of fire, with dozens of people on both sides being knocked down by indiscriminate shots, the soldiers who were blocked by Yuan Jun finally realized the situation, their morale completely collapsed, and they fled in a hurry.
Liu Xun saw in the crowd that the situation was not good. Guan Yu seemed to have broken through the blockage and came towards his tent.
He threw away the eye-catching bronze helmet very unscrupulously and replaced it with a non-reflective ordinary soldier's turban. He also took a rag cloak and wrapped it outside the armor. He disguised himself as a minor character and galloped backwards, trying to get through the formation of the Chinese army's vehicles. Escape from other entrances and exits.
Guan Yu seemed to feel no pain and killed dozens more people, and finally reached the outside of the Chinese army's tent. The cavalry nearby threw all the remaining torches over, and then rushed in and killed Liu Xun indiscriminately. Unfortunately, Liu Xun was not seen.
"Captain, Liu Xun has escaped!" a personal colonel reminded Guan Yu.
Guan Yu gritted his teeth and said, "No problem! Burn the central army's tent and let the soldiers shout that Liu Xun is dead! Ordinary Yuan thieves can't tell the difference, and the morale of the army will collapse!"
The junior colonel couldn't help but be surprised: "Captain, don't you need to arrange someone to chase you?"
Guan Yu waved his hands in pain: "I was hit by two arrows when I was rushing to kill the car formation. Fortunately, I had armor, so I didn't hurt any vital parts and made no noise. As long as Liu Xun ran away, the effect would be the same as if he died. The rest would depend on his elder brother's main strength." Clean up the mess."
