"Attack now?"
Liu Bei asked with a frown.
"Not bad!" Zhang Heng's face was full of excitement, "Isn't it the right time to beat up the drowned dog?"
Facing Guan Yu's rapid offensive, Yang Ding had no choice but to let go of the siege. The formation was extremely loose and most of the soldiers were exhausted. If he rushed forward at this time, even if he could not completely annihilate the enemy, he would still be able to win a great victory.
Besides, it's already dark now, and when people can't see clearly, their judgment will be greatly reduced. Once the front is defeated, the soldiers in the rear will not know what is happening, and they will inevitably panic and trample on each other to death. I am afraid there will be more dead than those killed in battle!
Liu Bei's eyes flashed twice, and he also figured out this truth.
"Okay, pass my order to the general, and the whole army will attack!"
Liu Bei drew out the sword from his waist and shouted loudly. The soldiers behind him who had been accumulating momentum for a long time but could not let go immediately started shouting, which instantly gathered into a huge wave of sound that resounded through the sky.
"Ziyi, you are not good at fighting, so you should go into the city first."
Liu Bei gave a warning and rushed towards the enemy.
Yang Ding was forced to retreat this time, and he was unwilling to do so. He was planning to retreat ten miles to set up camp. When he continued to attack the city the next day, he suddenly heard distant war drums shaking the sky, flags fluttering, and then the sound of horse hooves cracking the ground.
"This is……"
The expression of the general beside Yang Ding changed drastically, and his eyes were full of shock.
"Damn it, these thieves actually have reinforcements!"
Yang Ding cursed bitterly, but he did not dare to neglect, and quickly ordered his soldiers to line up to meet the enemy.
At this time, forget about hedging. His soldiers first rushed for a while, and then suffered another defeat. Both morale and physical strength were exhausted. It was commendable to be able to stabilize the formation.
When Guan Yu just rushed into the battle, he was still wondering why his brother didn't come to rescue him. Now that he saw Liu Bei leading his army out, he suddenly figured everything out.
Needless to say, this was definitely Ziyi’s idea again!
This guy really doesn't let go of the eagle in sight. He is extremely cautious and can always find the enemy's weakest moment to attack.
"Reinforcements have arrived. Brothers, rush in with me, kill the enemy general, and receive the reward for your meritorious service!"
Of course, Guan Yu would not miss this god-given opportunity. Before Liu Bei arrived, he had already rushed forward and bit Yang Dingjun.
Yang Ding was so angry that he just wanted to scold his mother. He was sure to win this battle, but who knew that Guan Yu would be so difficult to defeat with a thousand men, so he had no choice but to withdraw his troops. Now it's good, another army came out halfway, and the bandit army just now was like a dog-skin plaster, preventing them from setting up a defensive array.
"These maidservants deserve to have a son, so they deserve to die!"
Yang Ding cursed loudly, but there was nothing he could do. He could only order his soldiers to withstand Guan Yu's attack while stepping up their defense arrangements.
It was impossible to see anything in the dark night, and it was impossible to see how many people there were in Liu Bei. For a moment, all Yang Ding's soldiers were frightened and almost wanted to turn around and run away.
At this time, Liu Bei finally arrived.
He led the team around Guan Yu's array, picked out Yang Dingjun's weakest link, and stabbed it in like a sharp knife.
"All the officers and men listen to the order and perform meritorious service by killing the bandits today. Anyone who kills one bandit will be rewarded with ten thousand gold coins, and those who kill two bandits will be rewarded with one hundred thousand gold coins. If there is anyone who can capture and kill the bandit generals, he will be rewarded with thousands of gold coins. I will personally report it to the emperor and grant him a title. For the Marquis of Wanhu!"
Liu Bei knew the importance of this battle, so he wrote a big check to boost morale.
Under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man. When the soldiers under his command heard the content of the reward, their eyes suddenly turned red and they rushed towards Yang Ding's army with howls.
As soon as the two armies came into contact, a one-sided situation emerged.
Yang Ding's tired army was unable to withstand Liu Bei's elite troops, and the hastily arranged array was unable to stop the tiger's descending offensive, and was overwhelmed in an instant.
"Yun Chang, rush in and kill the enemy general!"
During the fight, Liu Bei shouted in the direction of Guan Yu, but his voice was quickly drowned in the sea of people.
But long before he shouted these words, Guan Yu had already started taking action.
From the moment Liu Bei led his army to break through Yang Ding's formation, the outcome of this battle has been won by 70%. If Yang Ding can be killed in the chaos, it will be tantamount to sealing the victory in advance!
When the Qinglong Yanyue Sword was swung, all the approaching enemies were slashed and flew away. Guan Yu's shirt has long been soaked with blood, and the blood on his face is dripping down his long beard. His whole body is bathed in the blood light, like a god of death wandering in hell, harvesting fresh life wantonly. .
The only thing that seemed calm was Guan Yu's terrifying gaze, which was as solid as ice from beginning to end, making people dare not look directly at him.
This person is invincible!
At this moment, Yang Ding suddenly felt the long-lost fear from Guan Yu, just like when he first entered the battlefield and faced the invading Xiqiang Hu people.
It was from that day that Yang Ding understood the fragility of life.
At this point in his mind, the anger, hatred, unwillingness, etc. in Yang Ding's heart all dissipated, leaving only one thought - escape!
The further you can stay away from this person, the better, in order to save your own life.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
After Yang Ding gave the order, he immediately turned his horse around and fled the battlefield in a hurry under the protection of his own soldiers, regardless of whether his soldiers could keep up.
Guan Yu frowned slightly when he saw Yang Ding retreating without a fight, his eyes full of disdain.
"coward."
Then Guan Yu wiped the blood from his beard and charged again.
Yang Ding had fled, and the enemy's resistance was no longer as fierce as before. Guan Yu quickly reached the position where Yang Ding's army was originally located, cut off Yang Ding's banner with a knife and took it in his hand.
The so-called killing the general and capturing the flag is actually much more important than capturing the general.
There was no radio communication in this era. Once the war became stalemate and the soldiers could not receive orders from above in time, the conspicuous banner became a spiritual pillar.
Because it represents the location of the general.
If the banner is present, the general is there. If the banner falls, it means that the general's position has been breached by the enemy, and the entire war has been declared a failure.
Therefore, as soon as Guan Yu cut off Yang Ding's banner, Dong Zhuo's soldiers lost their direction in an instant, which caused a collapse in morale, and some people even shouted to surrender on the spot.
Behind him, Zhang Heng finally showed a smile when he saw this.
Yes, he did not follow Liu Bei's instructions to enter the city first, but led his three hundred soldiers to wait and see.
If it really came to a critical moment, Zhang Heng planned to smash the last three hundred people in, but fortunately he didn't use it.
Zhang Heng waved his sleeves and led 300 soldiers to join in cleaning up the battlefield.
"Ziyi, we win, we win!"
When Liu Bei saw Zhang Heng arriving, he didn't bother to wipe the blood on his body and shouted excitedly.
Today's battle is against Dong Zhuo's direct troops, and there are five thousand troops. It is not a small fight like yesterday. The most important thing is that Liu Bei has been fighting for many years and has never had more than a thousand troops in his hands.
Now if the remnants of the army abandoned by Yang Ding can be collected, their strength will skyrocket. At that time, he will truly become a real prince, instead of being an empty shell in name only.
I have been feeling aggrieved for half my life, and now I am finally able to act boldly!
This is why Liu Bei is really happy.
Such a result was all due to Zhang Heng's single-handed planning. Of course, he wanted to share his joy with the hero as soon as possible.
"Congratulations to Mr. Xuande for your great victory!"
Zhang Heng fully understood Liu Bei's mentality of getting rich from the poor, and smiled with a smile.
"Hahaha, we are happy together!"
Liu Bei stretched out his big gibbon-like hand and patted Zhang Heng's shoulder hard twice.
“It’s all thanks to Ziyi’s help that we are here today!”
Liu Bei's hand was so strong that Zhang Heng just wanted to show his teeth and grin when he took the photo. He felt that while he was selling off, he had to smile and be modest.
"Where, where, Xuande Gong and Yun Changshen took the lead. The soldiers fought with blood and fought hard to achieve the victory. I dare not take credit."
Liu Bei smiled and said, "Ziyi, it's not good to be too modest."
After getting along with each other these days, Liu Bei found that he liked Zhang Heng more and more.
Ziyi is not only a great talent, he is also modest and prudent. He neither takes credit nor is greedy for power. He is truly like an ancient gentleman!
No, even after challenging Dong, Quan Ziyi must stay and help him.
Well, I still have to think of a way.
While Liu Bei was thinking, Guan Yu, who was covered in blood and had a beard as black as ink, walked over from a distance.
It can be seen that when he was recruiting the soldiers, he even took the time to clean the blood on his beard. This couldn't help but make Zhang Heng wonder, Guan Yu doesn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"Brother, all the surrendered soldiers have been controlled. We are waiting for my brother's death!"
Only then did Liu Bei come back to his senses, waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Chang Yun. After a big battle, the soldiers are all tired. It's getting late. Let's lead the army into the city first. As for the battlefield, we'll clean it up tomorrow morning."
"only!"
Guan Yu responded with cupped fists.
Liu Bei turned around again, smiled at Zhang Heng and said, "Come on, Ziyi, follow me into the city. Let's celebrate today and make sure we don't get drunk and never come back!"
"As commanded."
Zhang Heng cupped his hands and said.
At the moment, Liu Bei took Zhang Heng and entered the city first. Guan Yu led his army and drove the soldiers to follow him. Zhang Fei had been waiting at the city gate for a long time, but he still had his trademark loud voice when they met.
"Brother, you won this battle beautifully!"
"It's all thanks to Ziyi, otherwise An would have won today!"
"That's right, that's right. Ziyi's miraculous calculation should be the first success." Zhang Fei laughed and started to flatter him, but his true purpose was revealed in his next sentence.
"I will definitely toast you a few more glasses at the celebration banquet later!"
Zhang Heng couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
You are such an upright and honest Zhang Yide, this wave of abacus is all falling off my face.
