Zhang Liao received advice from Jia Xu and deliberately led his troops to attack Mobei. In fact, he crossed Wishui in the upper reaches and went straight to Guan Yu's old camp.
This move was similar to the previous battle of Xiaoyaojin, but after all, Guan Yu was highly skilled in martial arts and there were many generals in the Jingzhou army. Zhang Liao knew that it would be difficult to succeed, so his target this time was Zhuge Liang.
The fall of Mobei made Zhang Liao deeply aware of the impending crisis. With Guan Yu's courage and Zhuge Liang's wisdom, it would be difficult for him to defeat Cao's camp, not to mention that the troops were now divided into four groups.
The current situation is critical, comparable to that of the Battle of Guandu. If Zhuge Liang can be eliminated and Jia Xu is the strategist, there is still the strength to fight.
The men and horses crossed the dancing water and found out that Guan Yu had fallen into the trap. He led his troops to attack the front camp. Zhang Liao urged his horses to rush straight to the Jingzhou Army camp.
In this battle, all the elites are exhausted, and all the soldiers are in ruins. Everyone is determined to die, and they will not retreat if they advance, and they will fight to the death to save Zhuge Liang's life.
He saw the enemy camp in the distance. At this time, the front army was victorious. Guan Yu went to pursue the enemy again. The soldiers who were left behind in the camp were lax on their guard. Zhang Liao spurred his horse to roar out and rushed straight to the fence that had not yet been closed.
"The ambition to trap the enemy will lead to death or life!" Zhang Liao shouted violently, swung his sword, cold light flashed, and killed four or five people in one breath.
Hou Cheng and Zhang Hu were guarding the left and right, and the old troops of the 800 trapped camp were as powerful as tigers. They were the first to open the way, followed by three thousand armored cavalry.
Xu Chu went north to protect Cao Cao. Because the journey was far and he had to cross mountains and rivers, the heavy cavalry had no place in the desert, so he left it to Zhang Liao to command.
The Zuoying camp suddenly encountered an attack, which was already a weak point. The Jingzhou army was in a panic. Some fled backwards and some hurriedly resisted, but they were all rushed by Zhang Liao.
The trapped camp is like a sharp spearhead, leading the way in front, and the armored army is like a torrent, turning people upside down wherever they pass, and no one can stop them.
At this time, Zhuge Liang was checking the map in the Chinese army camp. Guan Yu went to pursue the enemy. It was too late to dissuade him, so he had to think of a way to defeat the enemy first.
Jia Xu was scheming and saw through his schemes several times. Unless the troops were completely superior, there was no room for carelessness.
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the sound of drums in the camp to the west. The sound was very chaotic. He vaguely heard the cry of killing. Zhuge Liang was startled and hurriedly went out of the camp to check.
Xia Houlan came quickly and reported: "Military advisor, something bad is going on. Cao's army is attacking the camp, and the left camp is in chaos!"
"Send orders to all the troops to hold the camp securely and don't panic!"
Zhuge Liang gave the order and stood on the four-wheeled vehicle to look around. He saw people and horses running around in the distance. A group of cavalry was like a tiger entering the flock of sheep, which was unstoppable.
Li Dian was shocked and said: "This is Zhang Liao, military advisor, leave quickly!"
Zhuge Liang was unmoved, and said in a deep voice: "The three armies all act according to the command flag. If we retreat, we will be defeated like a mountain, and all our troops and horses will be defeated. It's a big deal!"
Li Dian said anxiously: "Zhang Liao's bravery may not be resisted by Yun Chang. The military advisor is the most important person of the three armies. We will retreat for the time being and will protect the flag in the future."
At this time, Chen Dao also came after hearing the news. Bai Jie's soldiers lined up on both sides to protect the Chinese army's tent and also advised Zhuge Liang to leave quickly.
Zhuge Liang stood on the car observing the enemy's situation and asked: "Has the Chinese army's camp been set up?"
Chen Dao nodded and said: "Everything is arranged according to the military advisor's drawings."
Zhuge Liang's eyes gleamed slightly, and he suddenly smiled and said: "Zhang Liao intends to destroy the cauldron and carry out the old business of Xiaoyaojin. I know that I, a man from Jingchu, will face difficulties and face difficulties. How can I retreat in the face of battle?"
Chen Dao cupped his fists and said, "General, I would like to intercept Zhang Liao."
Zhuge Liang's expression had regained his composure, he gently shook his feather fan and said: "Cao's army is determined to fight to the death. At this time, Cao's army is full of vigor. Do not engage in confrontation with him. Quickly mobilize Gan Ning to come and obey the order."
The soldiers went to deliver the order. At this time, the men and horses of each battalion had already reacted. After hearing the general's order, they all stood still and stood by the ditch of Dazhai, watching Cao's army rush towards the Chinese army like wolves and tigers.
Zhang Liao slaughtered his way through the western camp, not caring about chasing the fleeing soldiers, and rushed straight to the Chinese camp. Except for the Jingzhou soldiers who had just fled, there was no one in front of him to stop him.
After crossing the barrier and looking up, I saw all the Jingzhou troops standing in solemn silence, forming their own formations. Zhuge Liang was standing on the chariot, waving his feather fan lightly, and his heart sank.
The Jingzhou army was well-trained, and Zhuge Liang was frightened but not confused, which was completely opposite to the Wu army who fled randomly last time.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Liao knew that this battle would be dangerous and dangerous, but at this time, the arrow was on the string and he had to fire it. The men and horses were rushing forward, and there was no way back.
"Kill, head straight for Zhuge Liang's four-wheeler!"
Zhang Liaoyi did not look back, the sound of horse hooves trembled in his ears, and he raised his knife and stared at Zhuge Liang in front of him.
In the central camp, soldiers on both sides fired arrows at random. Cao's soldiers kept falling, but everyone rushed forward and remained unmoved.
The Cao army selected this time were all old and trusted generals. They were led by Zhang Liao and Xu Chu. Their combat power was astonishing. They were united and prepared to change the situation of the war in one battle.
Zhang Liao took the lead, charging through several large tents and killing several people. The Chinese army's camp had already been deployed. Archers were hiding in trenches and fences. Crossbows were raining like rain. Cao's army suffered more losses.
Seeing that there was no conflict ahead, Zhang Liao detoured to the left. At this time, he was only a stone's throw away from Zhuge Liang and Shuai Qi. The morale of Cao's army was greatly boosted. After crossing the tent, Zhang Liao prepared to attack from behind.
But when they walked around the camp, they found that Zhuge Liang was a mile away, crossed several ditches, turned from the west gate to the east gate, and broke out of the camp.
Zhang Liao's face changed greatly, and the hand holding the sword unconsciously trembled slightly. The defenders in the camp to the east had already been prepared, and arrows were fired. Cao's army fell countless more.
Hou Cheng was also surprised and asked loudly: "What's going on?"
In the blink of an eye, they were able to bypass the camp and lose more than a thousand people. The Jingzhou Army's crossbow arrows were short and dense, like raindrops, making it difficult to prevent them.
Zhang Liao took a deep breath of cold air, stared at Zhuge Liang, and said solemnly: "If you fall into the camp, dismount, follow me and fight straight forward, no need to make detours!"
Cao's army once again formed a team and rushed towards the Chinese army despite the rain of arrows. This time, no matter what the defenders in front were blocking or the trench fences, they went straight forward.
Zhang Liao's riding skills are superb, and his mount is also a good horse. Along the way, he crossed the ditch and crossed the fence. The arrows were deflected by his broadsword. Only the trapped camp followed closely behind, and the heavy cavalry behind him had been far away.
Seeing that the Chinese army was approaching, Zhang Liao saw that the surrounding area was heavily guarded. At this time, he was a little weak and rushed in without much chance of winning. He was about to take a bow and arrow to kill Zhuge Liang.
At this moment, suddenly there was a loud sound of drums in the central army formation, and an army rushed out from behind the tent and blocked the way. The leader, a general in golden armor and red robes, urged his horse to kill with a sword: "Zhang Liao, can you see that Jinfan is happy?"
"Death!" Zhang Liao had no choice at this time. He raised his sword and slashed at Gan Ning.
when--
There was a loud noise, and the two of them refused to give in. With a huge impact, the mount stood up, head held high and neighing.
Zhang Liao did not intend to quarrel with Gan Ning. Once he stopped, all previous efforts would be wasted. However, he did not expect that Gan Ning would be so brave and block the sword he was determined to win. He was so angry that he shouted and slashed with his backhand.
I saw the knife turning over like a strange python, drawing a strange arc, and heading towards Gan Ning's chest with a ray of cold light.
