"Damn it, it seems we can't destroy the opponent today." Chen Xi's face darkened and he patched up a dark cloud again, but Xu You once again broke a hole in the dark cloud in front of him. Even Chen Xi couldn't completely block it with such behavior. Even though his mental capacity is thousands of times that of Xu You, Chen Xi's output is limited by his own limit.
"Kong Ming, the strategy you are thinking of seems to be incapable of defeating the opponent. I have already made a bait. It depends on today whether we can kill this guy!" Chen Xi roared at Zhuge Liang beside him.
"I didn't ask you to be a bait, I also suggested that you come with me, and how could you be penetrated!" Zhuge Liang said with a dark face when Chen Xi roared.
Zhuge Liang never thought that the other party would defeat his plan in such a simple way. Although he just mentioned that our army could actually see without such moonlight at night. If Yuan Shaojun did not have this moonlight, he would be blind. This is how Heaven and Time are used.
However, if this continues, even if more than 20,000 people are left behind, they will not be able to achieve their goals. What's more, if they march by moonlight, not to mention other soldiers, Wen Chou's elite cavalry will definitely escape. Total annihilation is impossible, the most we can do is defeat them.
"Stupid, you don't know how to open a few holes. Blocking is worse than opening up. He said to chase the light, then open a few holes to completely confuse their army. If you can't destroy them all, destroy what you can first." ." Fazheng said hurriedly, and as he was talking, two more small holes appeared in the clouds in the sky.
"I'll do it. You two order the soldiers under Yuan Shao's command to quickly collect the soldiers under Yuan Shao's command." Chen Xi said hurriedly, "And Kong Ming, you quickly order the doctors in the rear army to treat the injured soldiers, and the others will follow. I will hunt down Yuan Shaojun."
The moonlight cast by the holes exposed in the clouds caused Yuan Shao's army to be confused. However, at this time, the army was almost completely out of sight. The entire army had collapsed long ago. Staring at those few rays of light, Yuan Shao's army immediately became chaotic. The stocks spread out.
It's a pity that the cavalrymen were all free of rein, galloping in one direction, and were not fooled by the starlight that Chen Xi opened in the clouds. However, even so, it made Xu You tremble with anger.
"Retreat, leave them alone, we don't have to leave if they don't!" Xu You gritted his teeth and ordered Wen Chou.
Now Xu You had no choice but to do anything. There were three or five soldiers of Liu Bei behind him, blocking dozens of Yuan Shao's troops from fighting. Some even pulled the cavalry from the side and then jumped on their horses to chase Yuan Shao. Cavalry, if this continues, the entire Yuan Shao army will definitely be trapped here.
Wen Chou gritted his teeth and no longer hesitated. He could see the current situation with his eyes. The soldiers under his command were rushing around like headless flies. What's worse, because the night was falling, he couldn't see anything, and there was another sound in his ears. The crazy sound of fighting completely fell into madness. He pulled out his sword and frantically killed the people next to him, whether it was Baoze or the enemy.
The so-called collapse of the army is nothing more than this. Xu You calculated everything but never thought that Liu Beijun's soldiers could really fight at night. For the soldiers under his command, night was like being blind.
Just such a small gap made Xu You's failure so simple. He who could have escaped unscathed could only return in defeat this time.
After a night of fighting, Liu Bei's army won a complete victory and captured nearly 10,000 Yuan Shao's soldiers and thousands of fine horses. Only one of Yuan Shao's troops was left, led by Wen Chou, who withdrew to Chiping to use the city to defend against Chen Xi's counterattack.
"Huh..." Chen Xi looked at Wen Chou at the head of Chiping City. He almost hated the cavalry now.
Most of the soldiers killed by Yuan Shao's army last night were because they could not see their fingers. They were pushed and pressed directly, and the army stepped on them, leading to death. What's even more terrifying is that Yuan Shao's cavalry was blind, not just the infantry. The cavalry could not see anything, and they fled overnight. Most of the people who escaped were cavalry, and many soldiers died under the hooves of their army.
"How many soldiers have been lost in our army?" Chen Xi stood on horseback at the foot of Chiping City and asked the quartermaster who was counting the casualties.
"More than 3,600 people were killed, most of whom died under Linyi New City. About 1,300 were injured, but most of them were minor injuries." The quartermaster quickly reported the casualty data counted to Chen Xi. .
The danger before last night's counterattack made Chen Xi still tremble even now when he thought about it. More than 3,600 people were killed, and most of them died under the iron hoofs of the cavalry in the first wave. As for the subsequent counterattack, there will basically be no casualties, and even injuries will mostly be due to accidents.
"Those who died in battle will receive full pensions. The survivors of the first wave of soldiers who fought to the death to resist Yuan Shao's army will be promoted to one rank, and the pensions for those who died will be doubled." Chen Xi was silent for a while and said.
"Follow Xingba to confront the soldiers of the Wen Chou Cavalry head-on. The survivors will be promoted to two levels, the victims' pensions will be doubled, and one of their children will be allowed to fill a civilian position at the same level." Seeing the quartermaster finish recording, Chen Xi continued to speak.
"One general's success is worth ten thousand bones." After the quartermaster left, Chen Xi looked at Fazheng who was riding his horse and walked next to him and sighed.
"Yesterday was really too dangerous." Fazheng glanced at Chen Xi and then turned to look at the figure on the tower and said, "Xingba suffered dozens of wounds on his body, and several large wounds had damaged his internal organs. And you almost died yesterday. Under the hooves of horses.”
"I won't." Chen Xi said silently.
"What a strong self-confidence. In such a dangerous situation yesterday, I still didn't see you panicking at all when I saw you." Fa Zheng said without looking back, looking at Chiping Tower.
"..." Chen Xi murmured, but in the end he didn't speak. Is he really confident? No, what he was confident about was not that he would not fail, but that he was standing in the rain of arrows and did not make any move. The arrow will naturally slide away when it is ten steps closer to him.
At that moment, Chen Xi knew that he was not only protected by immortals or strong men who could not be seen in the world, but also by the hearts of millions of people.
"At least I know whether what I'm doing is right or wrong, and that's enough." Chen Xi said calmly.
"Pa..." A heavily bandaged left hand rested on Fazheng's shoulder, "Xiaozhi, I just heard you say bad things about me."
"Xingba, are you okay?" Chen Xi looked back at Gan Ning and said.
"I can't die. Although the injuries are a bit serious, it only takes more than ten days for the internal energy to be separated from the body. But it's a pity that my old brothers accompany me to chase north and south, but they are lying here when I don't want to. During this battle." Gan Ning was obviously a little sad, but he didn't feel much grief. Probably for him, dying on the battlefield and being shrouded in horse leather was the fate of a soldier. (To be continued.)
