Zhang Fei really shouldn't have appeared outside the east gate.
Recently, Zhang Fei's mental state has indeed been very bad, sometimes sober and sometimes confused. Therefore, Zhuge Liang told the housekeeper in Zhang Fei's mansion to take good care of Zhang Fei and not to let the old man go unless necessary. The general is out.
Zhuge Liang was really afraid that something would happen to Zhang Fei on the battlefield.
But Zhang Fei had a rare moment of sobriety.
At that time, Zhuge Liang was fighting Sima Yi outside the east gate, and Zhang Fei, while taking a nap, was awakened by the shouts of killing outside the east gate.
"Who is attacking the city?!"
After waking up, Zhang Fei shouted loudly and jumped off his bed.
At this time, the steward of the Zhang Mansion, who heard the commotion, hurriedly went to the door to report, saying, "The sound of drills in the army does not indicate enemy sentiment."
This is of course an excuse, but this excuse always works well for Zhang Fei who is in a confused state.
But unfortunately, Zhang Fei was awake this time.
"Shu Nu'an dare to mislead me?!"
As Zhang Fei spoke, he strode over, grabbed the steward's lapel, and said angrily, "I have been on the battlefield for more than forty years, how can I not know what training is and what actual combat is?!"
When the housekeeper heard what Zhang Fei said, he immediately understood that this time the master was not confused.
He quickly explained and said, "Master, please calm down. This is what the Prime Minister ordered. I am not in good health and I dare not trouble you."
That's enough.
As long as Zhang Fei is awake, although his personality is not very good, at least he is reasonable.
As long as he makes it clear, Zhang Fei won't care so much.
After Zhang Fei heard the butler's explanation, he calmed down his temper a little, let go of the butler, and said, "I'm old and have a bad temper. You will go to the accountant to withdraw ten silver coins in a while, and you will be rewarded by the master." your."
This is compensation for the aftermath. After all, he is his own steward and cannot be treated lightly.
The steward was immediately overjoyed and quickly thanked him and accepted the reward.
However, he did not go to collect the money immediately because Zhang Fei still had questions.
"Since there is a war, you should go out to investigate as soon as possible and report the situation to me. Oh, by the way, go to the army and inform my personal guards at my headquarters. Come to the house to assemble as soon as possible to prepare for deployment."
Zhang Fei ordered this.
Although Zhang Fei actually knew that his current situation was not suitable for going to the battlefield, but when it came time to fight, Zhang Fei also had to be prepared to fight for his life.
In response to this kind of situation in the past, the housekeeper would naturally not say anything and just do as he was told.
But today, the situation is a bit special.
"Did I forget that today is the day of the battle between Prime Minister Zhuge and Sima Yi. Although there is a fighting situation, it will not hinder the city's defense, so I don't have to worry," the steward said.
It was just a field battle outside the east gate. Regardless of victory or defeat, it would not affect the original intention of the defense steward in the city, which was to tell Zhang Fei not to worry too much.
But Zhang Fei couldn't listen to this.
Zhang Fei's personality was exactly the opposite of Guan Yu's. Zhang Fei always respected the scholar-bureaucrats, but he was not so good-tempered towards his subordinates.
A steward actually dares to talk about military affairs and city defense. Even if you are right, Zhang Fei will not listen to you.
"You, my servant, dare to talk nonsense about military affairs?!" Zhang Fei scolded angrily, and then said, "Go quickly and send the order for my personal guards to assemble, even though I am going to the east gate to supervise the battle!!!"
He dismissed the butler and went to deliver the order, and then Zhang Fei began to put on his armor, waiting for the bodyguards to gather, and finally went to the east gate to supervise the battle.
On the one hand, Zhang Fei was also worried about whether Zhuge Liang was a match for the Wei army, and planned to observe closely at the east gate. If there was any disharmony, he, Zhang Fei, would be able to respond.
On the other hand, Zhang Fei actually doesn't want to stay in the house for retirement.
When Zhang Fei was awake, he also knew that something was not right about his current situation. It was the best choice not to cause trouble to everyone. But if you ask a veteran who has been on the battlefield to stay in the house while the enemy is besieging the city, It was really difficult for him.
Even though Zhang Fei knew that he couldn't help much now, he could help a little, maybe a little.
Standing on the east gate tower was called holding the battle and supervising the battle. In reality, it was just Zhang Fei's move to comfort his veteran heart.
But just watching and watching Zhang Fei's state of mind slowly changed, and the battle situation he saw in front of him also slowly changed.
He seemed to see some familiar figures again.
Vaguely, Zhang Fei saw the two armies fighting under the city. The leader of one side was his eldest brother Liu Bei, while the other side was the Han thief Cao Cao.
Second brother is right, where is second brother? !
Oh, I remembered. My second brother is stationed in Xiaopei. He should have received the news by now and is on his way to support.
So you are right, why do you stay on the tower? !
Cao Cao, an unruly thief, led his troops to invade Xuzhou. His eldest brother was commanding the army in a fierce battle below the city. How could he watch the battle from the top of the city tower? !
Zhang Fei's eyes narrowed, and he shouted without thinking, "Come on, come with me to fight!!!"
After saying that, Zhang Fei turned around and went down to the tower, found his unfamiliar-looking war horse, picked up his familiar Zhangba Snake Spear, and rode out of the city.
With a roar that resounded across the battlefield, Zhang Fei, whose hair and beard were all white, but whose spirit seemed to have returned to his thirties, appeared on the battlefield.
At this time, Zhang Fei was obviously no longer the awake Zhang Fei, but a Zhang Sanye who was immersed in his own world, mistaking Luoyang for the city of Xuzhou, and mistaking Sima Yi for Cao Cao.
During this period, the flags of Cao Wei had some changes and changes in regulations as Cao Pi became emperor, but the overall uniforms of the Wei army and the colors of the military flags did not change. Otherwise, Zhang Fei at this time would probably have It's impossible to tell who is a teammate and who is an enemy.
Fortunately, the third master is so familiar with Cao Wei's military flag that he can still distinguish between ourselves and the enemy even if his mind is in a state of confusion.
But Zhang Fei, who has a confused mind, is still a very dangerous existence. Zhuge Liang, for example, never thought that Zhang Fei would appear on the battlefield at this time, and with 500 personal guards, he would dare to directly attack the enemy. charge.
Zhuge Liang quickly called Hu Fen and asked him to immediately divide two thousand troops from the right defense line to protect the three generals. They must not let the three generals make mistakes on the battlefield.
If Zhang Fei really had a chance, the blow to the morale of the army would be greater than losing this battle.
Hu Fen quickly followed the order, but neither Zhuge Liang, Hu Fen, nor Sima Yi expected that Zhang Fei would be so fierce. After fighting all the way into the enemy's formation, he hardly encountered any major obstacles. Can move forward.
It's like a battlefield evil god.
Of course, Zhang Fei was unexpected, which caused the left-wing soldiers of the Wei army not to know how to deal with it. After all, there were only 500 people, and ordinary people had never encountered such an attack on 7,000 people.
Of course, the more important thing is that the Wei army's left-wing defense line is not without enemies. They also need to defend against the Han army's attack in front of them, and they cannot get away to stop Zhang Fei for a while.
This caused Zhang Fei to easily break into the Wei army's left defense line. At this time, Hu Fen was still seventy or eighty steps behind Zhang Fei and was rushing over quickly.
As Zhang Fei directly entered the enemy's formation and fought for a while, he slowly tore open the hole in the Wei Army's left defense line. In addition, Hu Fen took the opportunity to lead his troops into the Wei Army's left defense line through the hole opened by Zhang Fei. Shaken.
They didn't know whether to stop Zhang Fei from continuing his future, or to block the gap in the defense line created by Zhang Fei as soon as possible to block Hu Fen's two thousand soldiers.
In addition, Zhang Fei fought so bravely, which invisibly aroused the morale and confidence of the soldiers on the right wing of the Han army, and they also began to increase their offensive against the enemy in front of them. The entire right wing of the Han army and the left wing of the Wei army experienced some chaos and confusion. shake.
At this time, Sima Yi, who had already observed that the flank was unstable and about to be broken through by the enemy, hesitated for a moment and immediately sent the last three thousand soldiers of his army to support the left defense line and increase the thickness of the left defense.
As for himself, he left less than a hundred guards behind.
Although it looked very dangerous, Sima Yi believed that as long as his 3,000 Chinese troops could plug the loopholes in the left-wing defense line, judging from the current situation, Zhuge Liang would not have any chance to adjust. He continued to spend so much money. If it goes on, the one who can't stand it in the end will definitely be Zhuge Liang.
Well, the premise is that Sima Yi's three thousand Chinese troops can plug the loopholes on the left wing.
Sima Yi believed that this was not a problem.
Although the defense line on the left wing has been shaken in confusion, it has not collapsed in the end. As long as the reinforcements are in place in time, even if a fierce general like Zhang Fei attacks from the opposite side, it is impossible to break through the defense line set up by thousands of people. Then Sima Yi watched helplessly as Zhang Fei rushed forward. out.
Sima Yi was dumbfounded. Is this still a human being? !
Just when Sima Yi had just sent 3,000 troops to support the left-wing defense line, Zhang Fei rushed all the way through the left-wing army formation, and finally completely penetrated the entire left-wing defense line, and rushed out with his own bodyguards.
At this time, Zhang Fei was already covered in blood, and his white hair and beard were almost dyed red. There was not only the blood of the enemy, but also his own blood.
The number of personal guards following Zhang Fei also dropped sharply from 500 to only 1,780.
Logically speaking, in this case, Zhang Fei's troops should have lost their combat effectiveness even if they broke out of the enemy's formation. The best way is to retreat from the flanks of the battlefield and retreat to the rear to rest.
However, Zhang Fei still headed straight towards Sima Yi's central army, turning a blind eye to the three thousand reinforcements standing between them.
As for Zhang Fei's remaining 1,780 personal bodyguard generals, they have all been killed. What can they say as personal bodyguards?
On the battlefield, the purpose of the personal guards is to protect the general. To protect the safety of the general, there is no option for the personal guards to escape without fighting.
Zhang Fei went to kill them, and they could only go up and talk about it. At this point, not only Zhang Fei, but also the personal guards were already red-eyed, and they had no time to think about it. One hundred, seventy and eighty people went there. What an outrageous thing it was to attack a military formation of three thousand people.
But in the end, the gap in strength was too great. No matter how fierce Zhang Fei was, no matter how powerful his personal guards were, they still could not break through the blockade of these three thousand people despite a series of sudden attacks from left to right.
On the contrary, Zhang Fei is now trapped in the army formation of 3,000 men and cannot escape.
Just when Zhuge Liang was worried and Sima Yi was a little relieved, a sharp arrow flew out from Zhang Fei's military formation.
This sharp arrow, like a divine aid, miraculously passed through all the soldiers in the military formation, and also avoided the one hundred personal guards guarding Sima Yi. It was fluttering and unbiased, and hit the target. Sima Yi's shoulder blade.
Sima Yi responded and fell from his horse.
