Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1557 Life and Death

On the winter night of the fourth year of Yan Ping's reign, the cold wind became more and more biting, but it could not alleviate the madness on the battlefield near Qixian County. Perhaps it was an accident, perhaps it was inevitable. On such an increasingly cold night, all the violent factors were released. I don’t know if this means an end, a beginning, or both...

The fire was steaming up, like a needle, pricking everyone's pupils. Naturally, it also pricked Liu Bei's eyes, causing him to shrink a bit and feel a sudden chill all over his body.

However, fortunately, the fire started with kerosene as a starter exploded with great power at the beginning, but as the kerosene gradually consumed, this power could not be preserved for a long time. In addition, although the fire blocked Guan Yu and Guan Ping's attack, but the spreading fire, blown by the extremely dry and cold night wind in the cold winter, also ignited the wall of Zhengxi General Fei Qian's left camp at some point, causing the soldiers in Zhengxi Zuoying to be paralyzed. Instead of evacuating the camp, they retreated to the central camp.

In order to accept these retreating soldiers, Fei Qian seemed to have no choice but to open the gate of the camp. On the one hand, he sent his soldiers to form an array in front of the camp, and on the other hand, he gathered the queue and allowed Liao Hua and others to enter and rest. Seeing that he had an opportunity, Guan Yu and Guan Ping gave up the value of occupying the Zhengxi left camp, which was falling into flames, and pounced on the Zhengxi Central Army.

General Zhengxi's almost womanly act made Guan Yu and Guan Ping overjoyed.

Guan Ping, who was biting Liao Hua and others to kill, took the lead and rushed to the forefront. The fear of almost being killed in the sea of ​​​​fire turned into full of anger. He chased them all the way. As he waved the weapon in his hand, he could only vent his anger. Words are enough to describe his current state of mind!

What's so great about these soldiers who conquered the West? !

He was still chopped to the ground like he was chopping firewood. Although he was better than the soldiers of Sichuan and Shu, he was still defeated by someone!

Guan Ping proudly waved his long sword and shouted. Even the guards around him followed and fought happily. He really showed off his majesty and boosted the morale of Liu Bei's side. He even stayed behind and commanded. Liu Bei couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised him, and shouted loudly for people to beat drums and cheer for Guan Yu and Guan Ping in front.

At the same time, when Guan Yu saw Guan Ping's bravery, his eyes were full of admiration, and when he saw the soldiers of Zhengxi retreating in panic, he couldn't help but smile, and habitually stretched out his hand to brush his long beard. But it was all empty, so I had to pinch it twice through the brocade bag to enjoy it.

Seeing this situation, Guan Yu also let out a long breath. Although there is still some distance before Daju Yiyan, bah, the overall situation is determined, but after approaching Feiqian's army, even if there are some remaining Zhengxi cavalry from before, , is also powerless and cannot play a big role.

After all, in this way, Guan Yu and Guan Ping were blocking the gate of Zhengxi's central camp, compressing the original distance and leaving little room for Zhengxi's cavalry to spread out. They could not run if they stood still. The cavalry are no better than ordinary infantry. Perhaps because of their inconvenience in movement, they are easily cut by the infantry's hoofs, causing them to fall and become the trophies of the infantry.

After reducing the threat of cavalry, isn't it now time to fully enter the infantry? In the infantry competition, although our side is slightly lacking in equipment, it is better because we have more people!

Guan Yu didn't believe that General Fei Qian's fire oil could be used endlessly!

In the next step, as long as the connection between the Zhengxi Right Camp and the Zhengxi Central Camp can be cut off, we can concentrate our forces to attack the Zhengxi Central Main Formation. Once the Zhengxi Central Camp is destroyed, even if the Zhengxi Right Camp still has some strength, What role can it play?

This is Liu Bei's overall plan, and it is also the method Liu Bei believes will win. Of course, so far, although there have been some minor thrills, it has generally been moving forward according to Liu Bei's plan. This made Liu Bei gradually feel relieved and seemed to see the dawn of victory.

Fei Qian, the general who conquered the West, did not have that much kerosene reserves, but he did not have what Liu Bei thought he had, and he had no cards left to play...

Do you want to know what Liu Bei's name is?

It's not the Zuo General Yuzhou Mu, but the famous Liu Da'er, uh, Liu Paopao...

Seeing that the momentum was not right, he turned around and ran away. If Liu Bei ran south of Jianning and combined with the local barbarian kings, Fei Qian would not be able to use Zhu Ge's seven captures and seven movements even if he wanted to. If it is in the north, Fei Qian has a large number of cavalry, and he can more or less dominate the desert. However, Huang Cheng's mountain troops are still limited. If they really spread into the mountains of Yunnan, it will be almost a drop in the bucket, so if there is a chance, Liu Bei will be defeated. If you stay on this battlefield, you will naturally have to create opportunities...

But the so-called opportunity is actually the same as risk. Although Fei Qian generally had a case against him, he still felt a little timid when he really had to face the martial sage Guan Yu who had been famous for thousands of years.

Maybe Guan Yu suppressed a big move and cut down the city gate with one knife. Well, what if he cut down the gate of the Chinese army camp? Cut the sky with one knife, cut the ground with one knife, and then add some military soul buffs and the like, the kind that can hit a million people, electro-optical and shadow effects and so on. If you hit one less person, you won't even have to go out. It’s nice to say hello to someone…

Fei Qian was sitting on the general platform, looking at the approaching Guan Yu troops. He was silent for a moment, tilted his head slightly, and said to Huang Xu: "Go according to the plan... Let Yifu prepare..."

Huang Xu hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in agreement and went to deliver the order.

Under the general platform of the Chinese army, Wei Du received the order and quickly tore the last piece of meat from the mutton leg into his mouth. Then he swallowed it without even chewing with a grunt. He threw the bone away and looked at it again. Another leg of lamb, after thinking for a moment, stuffed it into his arms without caring about the greasiness. Then he grabbed a handful of soil, rubbed the oil on his hands, patted it, opened his mouth, and shouted angrily. Said: "You bastards, get up! Get ready to eat meat! Hurry! Put on your armor!"

Outside the camp, Guan Ping became more and more courageous as he fought. With a roar like thunder, he rushed to the first place. Wherever his sword touched, he was invincible to anyone who stood in his way. When he got angry, he would even pick up swords, spears and other weapons. Cutting and throwing, in front of him, the Zhengxi soldiers led by Liao Hua seemed to be unable to resist, and they just kept their heads down and ran away.

I don’t know whether it was because of the difference in visibility between light and fire in the dark night, or because the Zhengxi soldiers made a mistake in panic. When Liao Hua and others retreated to the camp, they did not all move around the two sides of the formation. Instead, he ran into the defensive array in front of the Zhengxi Camp!

Suddenly, the defensive array before the expedition to Xiyingzhai was in disarray!

Guan Yu's men immediately let out shouts of extreme excitement, as if the fat man had seen the goddess lifting her skirt to reveal her breasts, or as if a thirsty traveler in the desert had seen the fine wine and delicacies...

Guan Yu saw this almost immediately, but he did not become excited immediately. Instead, he squinted his eyes and looked at Fei Qian's Zhongjun camp coldly. Then he frowned and thought for a moment, then burst into laughter and held out his long sword. In one fell swoop, "The fame of conquering the West is nothing more than that! My sons, follow me!"

Zhengxi's defense array was scattered by his own family. Even if Zhengxi's soldiers were well-trained, they could not regroup in a short time. In addition, Guan Yu and Guan Ping slashed with two long swords, and the array was suddenly cut off and became After three quarters, and then holding on for less than a cup of tea, they collapsed and retreated into the Chinese army's stronghold...

"March!" At this time, Guan Yu put away his sword and ordered his soldiers to continue the pursuit. He bit the soldiers who retreated in Zhengxi and rushed into the Chinese army's camp. He stationed his sword and took a few breaths first.

Through the gate of the Zhongjun camp, Guan Yu could vaguely see the Zhengxi array in the camp. Behind the array was a general platform, and on top of the general platform, a figure stood in three colors. Under the flag...

"General Fei of the Conquest of the West?"

"Guan Yu Guan Yunchang?"

Seemingly at the same time, the two people's eyes collided in the air.

"How dare you show off your tactics to lure troops!" Guan Yu smiled proudly and pointed his long sword away, "Arrange yourself in formation! Move forward!"

The soldiers who conquered the west retreated without disorder, and there were many suspicions of seduction. Although Guan Yu saw through this, he still believed that he could use the trick to seize Fei Qian and behead him with his sword!

Fei Qian also saw Guan Yu in front of the camp entrance. Guan Yu, who was almost a head above the Sichuan and Shu soldiers beside him, even in the dark night, still stood out so eye-catchingly that it was difficult for others to ignore him.

This is the Martial Saint...

As expected, he was right. Guan Yu was the first to attack. Liu Bei should still be at the right camp, serving as a reserve force and intercepting the connection between the right camp and the Chinese army. Regardless of whether the bait laid out this time was seen through or someone came in intentionally, someone took the bait, which naturally affected the entire battle situation, which also meant that it was the final moment for both sides to decide the outcome!

Of course, you have to push through it yourself...

It's a pity that Xu Huang and Wei Yan are not here, otherwise, I wouldn't have to be so worried.

Of course, if we look at this question the other way around, if Fei Qian hadn't separated Wei Yan and Xu Huang and made Liu Bei feel that there were no generals around Fei Qian, how could he have launched a desperate attack?

Feiqian sighed inwardly.

However, in this era, I have been through life and death not once or twice, but I have become numb anyway. As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. If someone else were here, the bait would naturally not be so fragrant.

At the same time, Cao Cao did this kind of thing in history, even more than once, but in the end Cao Cao won. Maybe this is because they are all the same master?

Fei Qian tried his best to relieve his own pressure in this way. Not only was he facing the thousand-year-old Guan Lao Er, he was still a little frightened.

After taking a deep breath, Fei Qian faced Guan Yu who was not far away. Facing Guan Yu's eyes that seemed to be bursting with sparks, he suddenly smiled and shouted loudly: "Fei is here, how dare you come to fight!"

Guan Yu sneered, tilted his head slightly, and ordered to Guan Ping: "The only reason to conquer the west is that the gate of the village is narrow... You can lead the troops and break the wall from the left... In addition, I will ask someone to retaliate to the lord, but Attack together on the right, and I will lead my troops to attack it. If we advance in three directions together, our expedition to the west will be defeated!"

Guan Ping nodded and accepted the order, and immediately said: "My child, let's do it now! Father, please be careful..."

"Go quickly!" Guan Yu waved his hand, "You might as well see some formations! Zhengxi, huh, you really underestimate Yu!"

The two of them chatted for a few words in the stream of soldiers as if there was no one around, and then separated immediately. Guan Yu led them all the way to continue the attack, while Guan Ping led them all the way, heading diagonally towards the left side of the gate of the camp. He began to drag the horses and antlers, preparing to cut a few more gaps in the Zhengxi Central Army's stronghold...

Guan Yu's experience on the battlefield is not much less than that of Fei Qian. As a professional jujube hunter, he needs to be able to see clearly at a glance which tree has jujubes. The jujubes on that tree are more mature and can be obtained by hitting them with three poles. The biggest gain was that Fei Qian's seductive gesture not only aroused Guan Yu's vigilance, but also inspired Guan Yu's arrogance.

I have walked through mountains of swords and seas of blood, so how can I be afraid of the formation in front of me?

Guan Yu mobilized his troops and began to prepare for a frontal attack.

But if you rush in in a chaotic manner, you will definitely end up being easily wiped out by Zheng Xi's Half-Moon Formation in the camp. Therefore, you stop at the entrance of the camp for a while, divide the waves, and then rush in together, which is far better than a swarm of pigs. higher efficiency.

Feathers of arrows were like rain, criss-crossing in the air.

Although the short-range troops had not yet handed over, the long-range troops took the lead in attacking each other.

Among the arrays on both sides, some unlucky guys were hit by arrows and fell to the ground screaming. The soldiers behind did not hesitate for a moment and took a step forward to cover the empty space of these people. And the unlucky guy , he was dragged backwards, from the gap between the crowd’s feet to the back of the formation. If he was lucky, he could be rescued and treated, but if he was unlucky...

After the front row array, both sides basically deployed archers. However, because the Zhengxi soldiers relied on the main camp, and Liu Bei's army came from the same route, the number of arrows gradually declined. A gap appears.

"General Guan!" Qu Chang, who was in charge of the bows and arrows, ran over and shouted, "The arrows are about to run out! General, please give me an idea!"

Guan Yu frowned immediately.

Damn it, he was negligent in this matter...

Originally, Guan Yu wanted to wait for Guan Ping and Liu Bei to break through the other two gaps in the Zhengxi Central Military Camp and advance together. However, due to the fierce battle, he could not think of the gap in the number of bows and arrows. Now it is in front of Guan Yu. Yes, there are two choices. One is to enter. No matter what Guan Ping and Liu Bei do, rush in first, so naturally you won’t use too much long-range power. The other is to retreat and exit the camp gate. Then conquer Xi will get a chance to breathe and readjust his troops...

To advance or to retreat, perhaps in a single thought, it can mean life or death!
