When Chen Deng saw the fighting cavalry formation, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. For the first time, he felt in awe of Lu Xuan.
What he expected was that Lu Xuan went to Yanzhou to participate in the war, although he and Cao Cao destroyed Lu Bu. But the main force of the attack must be Cao Cao, and the one who destroyed Lu Bu must be Cao Cao. After all, Lu Xuan's southern soldiers were not good at fighting in the north and were no match for Lu Bu.
Now it seems that Lu Xuan really killed Lu Bu.
Gained huge benefits.
Chen Deng quickly adjusted his state, cheered up and said: "Your Majesty, the cavalry has only been defeated for a while, we can still fight."
Liu Bei frowned deeply and asked, "The military advisor is right, we can still fight. But, what should we do?"
Chen Deng suggested: "We can't retreat now. Once we retreat, the morale of the army will be dispersed, and Lu Xuan may take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill him. Since the war has begun, let's take this opportunity to have a big battle with Lu Xuan and test Lu Xuan's quality."
"My humble suggestion is to send infantry to cover up Lu Xuan's cavalry while the two cavalry are fighting and lose the power to charge. The most powerful thing about cavalry is charging. Now that the cavalry stops and a large number of infantry come forward, they can overwhelm the cavalry."
Liu Bei thought about it and found the same reason.
Now that the war has begun, he cannot retreat, and he is also ready for a battle.
Liu Bei no longer hesitated and decisively dispatched three thousand infantry, quickly intervened on the battlefield, and attacked Lu Xuan's cavalry.
After seeing this, Chen Deng frowned and said, "Your Majesty, is it too little to mobilize only three thousand people? Such a force will probably have very little impact on the situation on the battlefield."
Liu Bei explained: "Military advisor, we cannot rush into the battle on the battlefield, let alone throw in all our troops in one go."
"Unless it's the moment of decisive battle, we can all join the battlefield. Otherwise, throw everyone out. Once Lu Xuan's people overwhelm us, we will be defeated. There must always be room for leeway on the battlefield."
"This is something I have years of experience with."
Liu Bei's eyes were deep and he said: "At any time, you need to have a backup plan."
Chen Deng said solemnly: "I am humble enough to be taught."
Liu Bei licked his chapped lips, looking a little nervous. He stared at the battlefield, hoping that the three thousand infantrymen could reverse the situation.
Liu Bei's three thousand infantrymen rushed out. Lu Xuan smiled coldly when he saw it.
Liu Bei's troops were insufficient.
Therefore, when sending troops, they are all scrupulous.
Lu Xuan did not hesitate and ordered decisively: "Jiang Qin!"
"The general is here!"
Jiang Qin cupped his fists and saluted.
He looked at the scene of fighting on the battlefield with a blazing light in his eyes. The Xianden camp he was in was specifically responsible for breakthroughs and tearing apart the enemy's defense lines.
Lu Xuan ordered: "You lead 800 troops to the camp first and go out to fight. In addition, I will assign two thousand black armored soldiers to you. With the same request, give me the courage to tear Liu Bei's infantry defense line apart and let Liu Bei know that his cavalry is not as good as Me, the infantry is not as good as me.”
"I will obey my orders."
Jiang Qin answered with clasped fists.
He mobilized 800 people to advance to the camp and 2,000 black-armored soldiers to fight out.
These elites led by Jiang Qin were all tempered on the battlefield and had rich experience. All the soldiers have been baptized by fighting again and again, and they are even more brave and good at fighting. When these people entered the battlefield, their status changed, like hungry wolves, howling and charging.
Jiang Qin and his party swept over. Before Liu Bei's three thousand infantry could get close to the cavalry to fight, Jiang Qin intercepted them.
"Kill it."
Jiang Qin roared loudly.
He held the knife and rushed forward with 800 Xiandeng, and ran into him head on.
The first camp changed quickly, and three people formed a group to quickly attack the enemy. The soldier who entered the camp first became a sharp knife and cut into Liu Bei's infantry formation. In a moment, the defense line in front of Liu Bei's infantry was penetrated by the first camp.
Jiang Qin took the lead and rushed in.
Climb the camp first and keep making breakthroughs.
The soldiers who first arrived at the camp were all very strong, each wearing two layers of armor, and they only focused on attacking and not defending. The defense of the soldiers who first ascended the camp mainly relied on the formation composed of their fellow soldiers, relying on each other to attack and defend each other.
This kind of attack was completely different from the ordinary fighting method, and it caught Liu Bei's army off guard.
Lu Xuan's smile became even brighter when he saw the fighting men who had arrived at the camp first.
Xiandengying experienced battle after battle, supplements and adjustments time after time. By now, the eight hundred soldiers who had entered the camp first had already sharpened their swords to a sharp edge.
Lu Xuan's eyes wandered around and landed on Huang Zhong and Guan Yu.
Huang Zhong relied on the power of Red Rabbit Horse and the blessing of his peak state to become stronger than Guan Yu. After continuously suppressing Guan Yu, he took advantage of Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword move and swung the sword violently again at the moment when Guan Yu had no time to return to defense.
The sword was as fast as lightning, approaching Guan Yu.
Guan Yu hurriedly raised his knife to block.
"clang!!"
The blades collided and sparks flew everywhere.
The force of the collision was fierce and unforgettable, erupting from the place of impact.
"Xilulu!"
The war horse under Guan Yu's crotch was the first to be unable to withstand the force of the counter-shock. Its hooves gave way and fell directly to the ground. Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword was swung away, and Huang Zhong's long sword continued to fall towards Guan Yu's shoulder.
Guan Yu could not avoid it. He was experienced and quickly moved his body back to avoid the frontal collision with the long knife.
The long knife fell and the armor cracked.
The sharp blade penetrated the flesh and blood, immediately drawing out a cloud of blood.
Guan Yu's body was in pain, Danfeng's eyes were standing on his head, and his brows were standing on end, extremely angry. But no matter how angry he was, Guan Yu did not dare to continue fighting with Huang Zhong. Because the hands he was holding the knife were shaking constantly, the tiger's mouth was even cracked, and blood soaked the handle along the palms of his hands.
Thanks to Guan Yu's rich experience, even if his shoulder is injured, he can still bear it.
Guan Yu put his sword on the ground, stepped sideways out of the war horse, stepped forward, and evaded in large strides.
He didn't dare to face Huang Zhong again.
If he is dragged on, he will definitely be killed by Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong defeated Guan Yu and saw Guan Yu escaping, but he was still in his sight. A sharp light flashed in Huang Zhong's eyes, he thrust his knife into the ground, took out his big bow and arrows in a fluid motion, and in the blink of an eye he drew the bow and nocked the arrows.
"middle!"
Huang Zhong gave a low drink.
The arrow shot out like a meteor and was behind Guan Yu in a blink of an eye.
Guan Yu was retreating with his sword in hand when he suddenly heard a sound coming from behind and quickly turned sideways to avoid it.
Even so, it's still a step too late.
Phew!
The sharp arrow pierced the scapula behind Guan Yu's injured left shoulder. This arrow was shot out quickly and with great force. Guan Yu frowned in pain, groaned, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
He was experienced and quickly moved left and right to avoid the fighting crowd. Then he snatched an ownerless war horse. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain in his body, climbed onto the horse, and lay prone on the horse's back to evacuate.
"Guan Yu is defeated, kill him!"
Huang Zhong roared.
After his shouts were heard, Huang Zhong rode the red rabbit horse and continued to attack. The long sword passed through and no one could stop him. Huang Zhong soon joined Zhang Liao and Zhou Tai, and the cavalry attack was even more invincible.
Without Guan Yu, Liu Bei's elite cavalry was even more vulnerable and continued to be defeated.
The cavalry and infantry under Liu Bei's command were both defeated, causing Liu Bei's army to be continuously crushed and mopped up.
Liu Bei's face turned completely dark.
A heart sank.
This battle with Lu Xuan was more brutal than his previous battles with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. The army brought by Liu Bei was completely unable to withstand it. It was constantly being routed and being crushed.
Liu Bei also had thoughts of retreat. However, he was not willing to give in. He looked at Chen Deng and asked again: "Military advisor, Lu Xuan is fierce. What should we do now?"
