Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

Page 755

As a staff officer, Yan Pu saw that Wei Yan was worried about his confession, so he smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, commander, there are [-] magic battalions under pressure, even if Cao Cao came to attack, he would return in vain."

"Well, good." Wei Yan glanced at Huang Xu, greeted him and walked out. "Let's go, it's almost time."

The two went out of the tent one after another, and went straight to the gathering place of the army. When Wei Yan arrived, he did not start a battle to encourage him, and directly led the troops to set off.

Along the way, Wei Yan did not order to hurry, but slowed down his pace to minimize the noise caused.

When he came to the place where he was watching the formation during the day, Wei Yan glanced at it a few times, and when he was about to send someone forward, he rushed over alone.

"Report, Legion Commander, we are already familiar with this formation, but there are still thousands of soldiers trapped inside."

This person is the platoon leader of the personal guard sent by Wei Yan to explore the formation during the day. The reason why he does not come out during the day is because he has received a secret order to familiarize himself with the formation and wait for the night to guide him.

Wei Yan's idea is very simple, he wants Liu Bei to relax his vigilance, and then take Nanyang as quickly as possible, so as not to get in the way of Cao Cao.

"Don't worry about them, send someone to lead the way, try to avoid them as much as possible, so as not to make noise."

"Mr. Liao, you lead the regiment of the headquarters, as the vanguard, you must take down the city gate as soon as possible."

"Yes."

"Yes."

Thousands of soldiers and horses will not pose a threat, but if something goes wrong, Wei Yan's night attack plan may completely fail, so Wei Yan would rather take a little longer than take risks, which shows his vigilance.

The eight trigrams formation, under the night, not only increases the difficulty of breaking the formation, but also blocks the sight of the defenders of the tower.

However, the defenders of the city tower never thought that there would be an enemy attack at night, because the enemy commander had already visited during the day.

In addition, Chen Dao took away half of the soldiers and horses, so there were not many troops defending the tower, and all of them were lax and lucky.

Liao Hua, led by the previous guards, soon saw the city gate. In order to avoid the enemy's discovery, he ordered to slow down his pace.

But as they got closer, the defenders of the tower still found them.

"who?"

"Not good, there are enemy troops attacking the city, blow the trumpet quickly..."

Seeing that the defenders had discovered it, Liao Hua no longer hid, and shouted: "Quick, advance at full speed, and take down the city gate!"

There was still a distance of about a hundred meters. Liao Hua's voice fell, and the whole army speeded up. They rushed to the gate of the city in one minute. Because the rushing cars were relatively heavy, the army who arrived first began to hit with their bodies.

"Hi!"

"boom!"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the rush car is coming."

About a few minutes after the impact, the ram was already in place and began to be pushed to play a role.

After a short period of panic, the defenders reacted and quickly sent people to support the city gate. At the same time, they used all the defense equipment to prepare to block the enemy's attack speed.

When the battle started, Wei Yan immediately led his army to speed up and rushed to the city gate. Seeing that Liao Hua was commanding, his face showed anger, and he shouted: "Why haven't you broken the city gate yet!?"

Hearing Wei Yan's urging, Liao Hua hurriedly dismounted, stepped forward to join the ranks of wrestlers, and shouted: "Hurry up, increase your strength..."

"Hi... bang..."

There was a sudden change at the city gate, and Liu Bei was also awakened at this time, looking at the soldiers who came to report with reddish eyes, with an expression of disbelief.

"How is it possible, how did they pass through the formation?"

"My lord, I don't know about this subordinate either, but the enemy army has already started attacking the city."

"Go, let Chen Dao lead his army back to the tower to defend."

"Yes."

As soon as the messenger left, Liu Bei had already left the room, rushing to the west gate where the accident happened.

Not only Liu Bei in the city rushed to the west gate, but after Cai Mao heard the news, he discussed with Pang Tong who had escaped from Jin Chan, and decided to take this opportunity to take the initiative.

If the siege force is Wei Yan, then cooperate to occupy the city gate and take down Nanyang, if not, then take advantage of the chaos and kill.

As for the method of breaking the formation, Pang Tong learned about it from Zhuge Liang as early as at the banquet, so he was not worried about being trapped in the formation.

Just when Liu Bei was halfway there, a soldier covered in blood suddenly came running staggeringly.

"Report! My lord, the west gate has been broken, and the enemy army has rushed into the city!"

"what!?"

Liu Bei looked unbelievable, and it took only half an hour to add up, how could the enemy army be so fast.

However, the soldiers with blood are right in front of them, and Liu Bei can't tolerate disbelief. Nanyang is his only capital.

"Drive! Speed ​​up and trap the enemy at the west gate!"

Liu Bei raised his whip and rushed forward quickly, preparing to block the soldiers and horses entering the city first, wait for Chen to arrive, and then drive them out of the city.

Liu Bei didn't have many soldiers, only about [-], but most of them were veterans who had experienced many battles, which he had accumulated little by little over the years.

Before he arrived at the west gate, he ran into a general who was directing troops to rush forward. Liu Bei swung his double-strand swords and slapped his horse forward to intercept and kill him.

"kill!"

The general who was commanding was Yan Yan, a general from Yizhou. In the dark night, he saw a general leading an army to kill him. He thought it was an ordinary general, and immediately swung his knife to meet him.

"Hi! Sue!"

Seeing that the visitor was much older than himself, Liu Bei showed contempt on his face, thinking that Yizhou had no generals to use.

"Boom!"

But after taking the next move, Liu Bei's spirit immediately tensed up, and he started to fight Yan Yan. It was obvious that the blow just now put him under a lot of pressure.

Chapter 774

The fighting on Liu Bei's side was in full swing, and Chen Dao in the rear also encountered Cai Mao's army unexpectedly at this time. The two sides were forced to strangle together.

In this way, Liu Bei's support for the army was blocked, which bought Wei Yan a favorable time to occupy the west gate.

As more and more Li Jun joined the battlefield, the casualties of Liu Bei's three thousand elite began to increase rapidly, and they kept retreating.

Every time one of these soldiers died, Liu Bei's heart was dripping with blood. Seeing that Chen Dao hadn't appeared yet, Liu Bei knew that something must have happened, so he decided to retreat to the rendezvous first.

As soon as Liu Bei led his army back, Li Jun immediately pursued him and entangled him desperately.
