Xingyang City Head.
"The coalition of princes was 150,000 strong, and it was defeated so quickly?"
After receiving the news from Zhang Fei, Liu Bei said in disbelief.
On the other hand, Zhang Heng didn't look surprised, but he also smiled bitterly.
It is true that they were defeated a little too quickly. These princes really couldn't stick to the wall.
I just don’t know whether the losses will be great or not. If they are directly defeated and the whole army is annihilated, then the confrontation stage that I imagined before will probably not be established.
Zhang Heng opened his mouth and said: "Mr.
"Ziyi, didn't you arrange your troops in advance?"
"But our strength is still too small after all, and it may not be safe." Zhang Heng shook his head and said.
The Suizao princes had a total of 150,000 troops. Even if they stood still and let Dong Zhuo kill them, they would not be able to kill them all so quickly. Most of them are still on the way to escape at this moment, and they will inevitably flee back to Xingyang in the next few days.
This is also the basic process of war. After one side is defeated, there will always be several suitable places to gather the defeated troops.
But if Dong Zhuo takes advantage of the victory and pursues him until he reaches Xingyang City and refuses to leave, how will the defeated troops enter the city?
The defense in the city was empty, and the defeated soldiers could not escape. Under heavy pressure, they either starved to death in the wild, or surrendered directly to Dong Zhuo.
No matter what the situation is, Zhang Heng is not willing to see it.
Liu Bei also understood what Zhang Heng meant, and immediately said solemnly: "So, in this battle tonight, we must not only win, but also repel the Dong thief!"
"Yes, that's exactly the reason." Zhang Heng nodded.
Liu Bei frowned and thought for a moment, then said to Zhang Heng: "Ziyi, why don't you send all the soldiers and horses in the city to stop the enemy?"
Previously, Liu Bei had 16,000 men under his command. After Niu Fu was flooded, he gathered 7,000 soldiers and surrendered them. Later, he captured Lu Bu's 1,000 Bingzhou Army. Although Cao Cao was given 3,000 men, he still had more than 20,000 soldiers and horses.
But Guan Yu and the others had taken away 18,000 people, and now there were only 3,000 people left in the city. Even if Liu Bei and Zhang Heng's soldiers were included, there were only 5,000 people.
After Zhang Heng thought carefully, he finally shook his head.
"That's inappropriate... Mr. Xuande, even if we attack all the troops and horses we have, it won't be of much benefit to the war. Instead, we will put ourselves in a dangerous situation."
"Then tell me, what should we do now?" Seeing that Zhang Heng disagreed, Liu Bei's tone became anxious.
"Right now, I can only trust Yun Chang and the others."
While speaking, Zhang Heng couldn't help but sigh.
After all, we are still outnumbered, and even if we have means, we cannot use them.
If you can give yourself an army of 50,000 people... no, even if you have 30,000 people, there will be a lot more room for maneuver in tonight's battle.
At this time, Liu Bei calmed down, reached out and patted Zhang Heng's shoulder, and said calmly: "Ziyi, don't worry, Yun Chang, Yide and Wen Yuan are all veterans on the battlefield, I believe they can win.
Even if you lose the battle, so what, it's just a matter of starting over. "
"Mr. Xuande..."
Zhang Heng said in shock.
Feeling Liu Bei's calm tone and firm determination, Zhang Heng was shocked speechless for a moment.
He is worthy of the posthumous title of Emperor Zhaolie. How many people in the world can have such courage to take up and let go?
"Mr. Xuande is very courageous. If that's the case, let's make a bet with Thief Dong!"
Man proposes, God disposes. Everything that can be done has been done, and the rest can only be left to God's will.
Even Liu Bei chose to believe in Guan Yu and the others, so what reason did he have to disbelieve?
…
At this moment, Guan Yu, who had high hopes from the two men, was fighting bloody battle with Lu Bu.
After receiving the news from Zhang Fei, Guan Yu immediately led his army out of Guoting, intending to attack the Xiliang army.
After that, he encountered the first wave of defeated troops.
Guan Yu actually didn't want to take action so quickly, but Lu Bu was too fierce. He pursued them all the way and was about to kill Zhang Miao and Yuan Yi.
Now Guan Yu had to take action. Although he also disliked Zhang Miao, the two sides were in an alliance after all at this time. Guan Yu's nature did not allow him to sit back and watch his friendly forces lose.
As the top general during the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yu's offensive characteristics were similar to his personality, calm and sharp!
While ensuring that your own formation remains stable, try to kill the enemy as much as possible.
Therefore, Guan Yu's troops will basically not suffer a disastrous defeat, but he will rarely choose to win by surprise.
If Zhang Fei is a sharp spear and Zhang Liao is a lightning bolt, then Guan Yu's army is just like his Qinglong Yanyue Sword, powerful and unmatched. Anyone who dares to stand in front of them will be defeated. To crush!
After blocking Lu Bu's attack, Guan Yu immediately ordered the entire army to attack.
Eight thousand elites immediately formed an offensive array and slowly but firmly launched a charge against Lu Bu's army.
As soon as they fought, the Xiliang army was surprised to find that although this enemy army was not sharp, it was as hard to shake as a mountain. And once an attack is launched, it can bring people as much fear as the abyss.
"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
Lu Bu yelled impatiently and slashed at Guan Yu with the Fangtian Painted Halberd, his eyes filled with hatred.
Just a little bit, just a moment ago, he was just a little bit close to killing Zhang Miao and Yuan Yi, but he was stopped by this red-faced man who appeared out of nowhere.
Facing Lu Bu's attack, Guan Yu calmly raised his sword to meet him. After blocking Lu Bu's attack, he slashed at the red rabbit horse under Lu Bu's crotch with a backhand knife.
This blow startled Lu Bu, who hurriedly reined in the horse and rescued the red rabbit horse from Guan Yu's sword.
He had used all his strength to hit that halberd just now. Not only did this person catch it, he was even able to immediately launch a counterattack. This was something Lu Bu had never seen before in his past fighting career.
This person cannot be underestimated!
Lu Bu's eyes flashed with solemnity, and his expression became serious.
Looking at Guan Yu again, after forcing Lu Bu back, he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue him. Instead, he turned to Zhang Miao and Yuan Yi and said, "You two, please retreat."
"Thank you, General, for coming to the rescue!"
Zhang Miao and Yuan Yi did not hesitate, handed over their hands to Guan Yu and turned around to leave.
After the burden was gone, Guan Yu turned his attention to Lu Bu again, with a disdainful sneer on his lips.
"Are you Lu Bu, the slave of the third surname?"
Guan Yu looked down on those who were treacherous the most in his life. After hearing about Lu Bu's deeds, he didn't even bother to address him by name and simply called him by his first name.
"Who are you to insult me like this!"
Lu Bu was furious when he heard this, and the killing intent in his eyes was almost solid.
What does the three surnamed domestic slaves mean?
"Hahahaha..." Guan Yu suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "Guan is just telling the truth. A treacherous guy like you is not worthy of Guan to insult you."
The so-called insult is to repeat what Lu Bu did.
"The thief will die!"
Youdao means hitting people without hitting them in the face, and scolding people without exposing their shortcomings. Guan Yu's wave of insults successfully made Lu Bu break his defense. Even Zhang Miao and Yuan Yi didn't bother to chase him. They rushed forward with halberds waving, intent on killing Guan Yu.
Guan Yu showed no fear and faced him again with his sword.
The two fought together again, but this time the battle was much more intense than at the beginning.
Before, Lu Bu was bent on chasing Zhang Miao, and Guan Yu was also eager to save people. The two sides were just testing the waters. Now that Lu Bu's hatred has been taken away, Guan Yu is no longer a burden. The two of them have no scruples and use what they have learned in their lives to kill each other.
In just a short moment, the two of them had fought for no less than ten rounds, but they were both secretly frightened.
Although Fang Tian's painted halberd was sharp, it was not as powerful and heavy as the Qinglong Yanyue sword. After a few rounds, even Lu Bu was shocked to the point that his hands were numb, and he was at a disadvantage for a while.
Lu Bu had been fighting for half his life, and this was the first time he was suppressed in a head-on confrontation. Even though he had been fighting for a day before, it was enough to scare him.
The same goes for Guan Yu. Outsiders may not know it, but he knows it himself. His sword skills are fierce and fierce, but they consume a lot of energy. Therefore, when you first use it, you can often win by surprise, but the further you go, the weaker it becomes.
I had done my best just now, even if my third brother Zhang Fei faced him, he would still be in a hurry. But this Lu Bu can deal with it calmly and with ease, which should not be underestimated.
It's a pity that this person is a shameless person, but he has wasted his martial arts.
Guan Yu sighed in his heart and increased his strength on his hands again.
