Under the night, the full moon hangs high.
The lights were brightly lit in the camp, and although it was past midnight, the full moon hung high in the sky, emitting bright moonlight. In the dark, people can barely see their surroundings. On the contrary, inside the camp, due to the fire, the situation outside the camp could not be seen clearly.
Liu Bei and his men arrived quietly.
He stood in the darkness, carefully studying the camp's defenses. There are archery towers and watchtowers at the entrance of the camp, as well as many defensive horses. Although it looks empty, Liu Bei is sure that Lu Xuan has definitely arranged an ambush. It is not easy to surprise the camp and win.
"Thanks to the military advisor's plan, otherwise, I would have been unable to conquer Lu Xuan's camp, and there would have been nothing I could do."
Liu Bei was secretly glad.
With Chen Deng's plan and a double ambush arranged behind him, Guan Yu and Chen Deng's respective men would definitely win this battle.
Liu Bei no longer hesitated and ordered the attack.
The cry of killing suddenly sounded, breaking the silence. A large number of soldiers rushed forward, roaring and going straight to Lu Xuan's camp.
"Archers, shoot your arrows."
Lu Xuan's cold voice came out.
Tonight's fighting was personally directed by Lu Xuan. As the order was issued, the archers who had been ambushing for a long time came out, stared at the enemies emerging outside the camp, quickly drew their bows and nocked arrows, and shot outside the camp.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!!"
The dense bows and arrows were shot out like a rain of arrows.
Phew! Phew!
Large numbers of bows and arrows fell on the attacking crowd. Even though the bows and arrows were not accurate, too many bows and arrows were fired, and there were also many Liu Bei soldiers rushing towards the camp at the same time, resulting in many people being hit by arrows.
Many of Liu Bei's Danyang soldiers were injured by arrows and kept wailing.
Despite this, Liu Bei's soldiers still advanced rapidly. It's just that under the dense rain of arrows, every time they advance a certain distance, a large number of soldiers will be killed or injured. Just in the distance from outside the camp to the entrance of the camp, a lot of soldiers were lost.
Liu Bei frowned when he saw this scene.
Suddenly, I felt a little panicked.
According to Chen Deng's inference, if he launches an attack tonight, Lu Xuan should let go of the defense at the entrance of the camp, pretend to be negligent in defense, and let him enter the camp. After the two sides fought for a while, Lu Xuan secretly mobilized a large army to fight back against Liu Bei.
Then, Liu Bei led his troops to retreat, and Lu Xuan led his troops to cover up the attack.
The current situation is a little different. Lu Xuan directly defends strongly, resulting in Liu Bei's men being unable to break into Lu Xuan's camp for a while.
Chen Deng's plan got off to a bad start.
"Soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no constant shape. This is normal. You cannot blame the military advisor."
Liu Bei was an optimist and quickly adjusted his mentality. He did not leave a group of soldiers behind as usual, but sent all the more than 10,000 elite soldiers up.
Danyang soldiers attacked again.
Large numbers of soldiers approached the camp and rushed toward the camp. However, in the camp, in addition to archers, there were also sword and shield soldiers for defense, and spearmen for counterattack, making it impossible for Liu Bei's army to break through the defense line at the entrance of the camp in a hurry.
Liu Bei looked at this scene with a little regret in his heart, but it was a pity that his third brother Zhang Fei was not there.
It would be great if Zhang Fei was here.
Zhang Fei has the courage of all men and is most suitable for breaking through the formation. Zhang Fei could tear through Lu Xuan's defense line with a single charge and lead his men into Lu Xuan's camp.
If I had known earlier, I would not have allowed my third brother to stay in Xiapi.
Liu Bei thought wildly for a while, shook his head, cheered up, encouraged all the soldiers again, and ordered the soldiers to continue the fierce attack.
Time passed little by little, and two quarters of an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Liu Bei's Danyang soldiers were still attacking fiercely, but they still failed to break the defense line of Lu Xuan's camp. Even though the Danyang soldiers killed many of Lu Xuan's soldiers, when the black-armored soldiers at the front died, they were immediately replaced by more black-armored soldiers, ensuring that the camp was impregnable.
Lu Xuan watched the fighting scene quietly, with a smile on his lips.
Liu Bei is going to make a surprise attack tonight.
That's a good idea.
Everything will not proceed according to Liu Bei's ideas, and will only plunge Liu Bei into the abyss step by step.
Lu Xuan looked at Gao Shun, who was in charge of the war, and ordered: "Gao Shun, relax the defense line as planned and let Liu Bei's army enter the camp. At this time, if Liu Bei is not given any sweetness, he will retreat."
"Here."
Gao Shun nodded in reply.
He immediately made arrangements.
After the defense line at the entrance of the camp was slightly relaxed, a large number of Danyang soldiers came to attack. Lu Xuan's army's defense line retreated a certain distance and still set up defenses in the camp to block Liu Bei's army from attacking.
The two sides fought fiercely.
Lu Xuan's defense was still impregnable, without any turmoil. But every once in a while, Gao Shun would order a retreat some distance, allowing Liu Bei's army to advance further.
Both sides were constantly fighting.
Liu Bei's troops advanced slowly, but they were always advancing. Lu Xuan's troops seemed to be retreating, but they still held on. Even though Lu Xuan's troops retreated again and again, they remained stable.
Liu Bei frowned deeply when he saw this situation.
He hesitated.
In the current confrontation, Lu Xuan's side was clearly showing signs of fatigue. However, Lu Xuan was very tough and never collapsed. He could not win the opponent.
If he retreats as planned now, will Lu Xuan pursue him?
Most likely not.
Moreover, Liu Bei felt that Lu Xuan's troops were insufficient and he had a chance to defeat Lu Xuan in one go. As long as the attacking force is larger, there will be a chance to overwhelm Lu Xuan and achieve the final victory.
On the one hand, Liu Bei encouraged his soldiers to attack fiercely. On the other hand, Liu Bei gave full play to the protagonist's spirit and arranged for people to quickly go back to Chen Deng to convey Liu Bei's opinions.
When the soldier saw Chen Deng, he quickly said: "Military advisor, the commander led his men into Lu Xuan's camp. Although Lu Xuan was still resisting, Lu Xuan's side showed signs of fatigue. The commander thought that Lu Xuan would not retreat now. Will pursue."
"The envoy said that Lu Xuan's army has been defending and is not strong enough. As long as there is another force, Lu Xuan's defense line can be broken. The envoy please lead the troops to rush to reinforce, increase the intensity of the attack, and destroy Lu Xuan's army in one go. Camp. General Guan’s troops have been ordered not to be mobilized for the time being.”
Chen Deng frowned.
Things have changed.
Everything broke his expectations and did not proceed as he expected.
Chen Deng was thinking about the current situation, and he suddenly thought of a possibility. What if Lu Xuan didn't have any plan and just wanted to hold on to the camp?
"Yes, it's possible."
Chen Deng became excited.
He felt that he had overestimated Lu Xuan and predicted Lu Xuan's various possibilities. In fact, Lu Xuan's rear was attacked and a large number of troops were mobilized. Lu Xuan would not take the initiative to plan an attack. He must first seek to stabilize the defense.
The more Chen Deng thought about it, the more reasonable it became. He felt that he had made things complicated.
At this moment, Chen Deng adjusted his plan.
"Lu Xuan is defeated. We send troops to break Lu Xuan's camp in one battle."
Chen Deng made arrangements.
He led three thousand private soldiers from Xuyi County's wealthy families and rushed towards the frontline battlefield. For all members of the big family, Chen Deng relied on his influence in Xuzhou and his promise to give generous rewards for defeating Lu Xuan to have this army.
A little more than a quarter of an hour later, Chen Deng came to the front line, came to Liu Bei's side, and reported: "Lord, how is the situation?"
Liu Bei held up his sword and said excitedly: "Military advisor, Lu Xuan's army has retreated again and again. Although they are still resisting tenaciously, in fact, Lu Xuan's troops are insufficient. As long as another fire is used, Lu Xuan's defense line can be destroyed. Yours Three thousand people, arrange to go up immediately."
"attack!"
Chen Deng gave the order decisively.
The tribes of three thousand big families entered the battlefield, poured into the camp, and rushed towards Xuan's defense line in the camp.
Chen Deng looked forward to the fighting scene and looked forward to it. With an apologetic look on his face, he said: "My lord, I have made things complicated due to my humble position. I thought Lu Xuan would have all kinds of methods, but now it seems that Lu Xuan is just defensive. My lord." Thinking about it is the most suitable one. My lord is worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield and has rich experience."
Liu Bei stroked his beard under his chin, looking quite proud.
But he said: "The considerations of the military advisor are also very good. If you don't follow the considerations of the military advisor, you will be in trouble if you are calculated. This time, you can gain the advantage and win, which is also the plan of the military advisor. It is the combination of military advisors." Wang Lang and Zu Lang. Without the actions of both sides, we would not be able to gain the advantage."
Chen Deng said solemnly: "My lord, you have given me the reward."
Liu Bei looked up at the battlefield and ordered a fierce attack again to encourage all the soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, another two quarters of an hour passed.
Although Lu Xuan's army showed signs of decline, its defense was still solid.
Liu Bei blinked and tightened his grip on the sword hilt.
The feeling of panic in his heart emerged again, because the situation in front of him was not like Lu Xuan's defeat as he expected. On the contrary, Lu Xuan's defense was unshakable and always stable.
Liu Bei's cheeks twitched, he looked at Chen Deng and asked, "Commander, do you think there is anything wrong with the battle tonight?"
Chen Deng said: "My lord, I don't think anything is wrong with my humble position. Lu Xuan's troops have been retreating, which is normal. Lu Xuan's army is holding on and always defending, which is normal. Because as long as Lu Xuan retreats, he will be completely defeated. "
"Lu Xuan, I'm actually holding on for dear life."
"We already have a chance to defeat the enemy."
"I think it's useless to consider other things at this point. Anyway, the prejudgment of the humble position has expired, so just go all out and attack with all your strength."
"My humble suggestion is to bring General Guan's troops back to participate in the attack. As you mentioned, we have no choice but to attack Lu Xuan fiercely. Only by breaking Lu Xuan's camp can we have a way out. Otherwise, when Lu Xuan recovers, We are bound to lose."
Chen Deng looked determined.
At this moment, he was a little excited again, because the hope of victory seemed to be right here.
Liu Bei thought for a while and nodded: "The military advisor is right. At this point, we really have no way out. If we retreat now, we won't be able to defend it even if we return to Xuyi County. Now, we must capture Lu Xuan."
He quickly arranged for someone to notify Guan Yu to help out.
Guan Yu was a little surprised when he got the news.
Plans changed again.
Guan Yu came with his people. He came to Liu Bei's side and learned the details without saying much. Liu Bei is the weaker party and cannot defend Xuyi County, so he must take the initiative to attack. Guan Yu threw all the troops around him into the battlefield.
The fighting became more and more fierce.
When Lu Xuan received the news that all Liu Bei's troops were participating in the battle, his eyes were no longer calm, but filled with strong fighting spirit.
It's time to counterattack!
Lu Xuan drew his sword out of its sheath with a clang and said loudly: "Gao Shun, you lead the eight hundred troops to the camp, penetrate Liu Bei's army offensive head-on, and enter his camp for me. Now that the offense and defense have switched, it's our turn to counterattack." "
"Here!"
Gao Shun answered immediately.
He led the 800 trapped troops arrayed behind him, quickly intervened at the front of the battlefield, and kept rushing forward.
"Trapped in camp, kill!"
Gao Shun held the knife and rushed forward, roaring loudly, like a tiger descending from the mountain.
"Trapped in camp, kill!"
The eight hundred soldiers in the formation, all wearing heavy armor, roared in unison with their swords in hand, and stabbed forward quickly.
The momentum of being trapped is as powerful as a dragon.
