(Thanks to Xiao Mo, Yixiu, Maleic Anhydride, and Lolicon Brothers for their rewards, haha)
In an instant, Zhang Liao was deeply moved, and the grudge between him and Li Dian seemed to be instantly cleared up by Li Dian's words.
"Mancheng goes first, I'll come to the rear." Zhang Liao shouted loudly as he chopped down an enemy soldier who rushed forward with his sword.
Li Dian smiled bitterly and said, "Look at my current situation, can I still leave?"
Zhang Liao glanced at Li Dian and saw that Li Dian was covered in wounds, with blood flowing everywhere, and the horse under his crotch was also wounded by an arrow. In such a situation, it would be really difficult to break out of this tight siege.
"However, how can I, Zhang Liao, a bloody man, abandon my robe and escape alone?"
Under the excitement of blood, Zhang Liao shouted tragically: "Mancheng and I will live and die together, and we will fight our way together."
Li Dian¡¯s men were all infantry. Even if they could open a gap, their legs, which were as heavy as lead, could not escape the pursuit of the Wu people who were at high morale.
Zhang Liao is different. All his men are cavalry. Although there are less than a hundred cavalry left among the dead and wounded, they are still cavalry. As long as they can escape from the encirclement, they have escaped to heaven. The Wu people will never be able to catch up.
How could Zhang Liao not know such pros and cons? How could he have the heart to abandon Li Dian despite knowing it.
Li Dian gave a bitter smile and advised: "The matter has come to this, it is destiny. If Wenyuan hesitates any longer, both of you and I will be buried here, and morale will be greatly damaged by then. How can Hefei survive?" Keep it. For the sake of the overall situation, I, Li Dian, beg you to leave quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Dian let out a mournful scream, reined in his horse and rushed eastward, as if he was about to break out of the encirclement. Seeing this, a large number of Wu people immediately headed east to block the enemy.
Zhang Liao understood that Li Dian was trying to attract the attention of the Wu people for him. Even though he was filled with grief and indignation, when he thought of the word "overall situation" mentioned by Li Dian, he hesitated for a moment and had no choice but to lead the crowd in the opposite direction. Kill to the west.
The two armies of infantry and cavalry that were originally surrounded were fighting together and resisting tenaciously. Now they suddenly disrupted their formation and split into two. This was originally a taboo in the art of war.
However, it was precisely because of this division of troops that the Wu people's attention was distracted for a short time, and instead Zhang Liao's one hundred cavalry were able to tear a hole through the weak point of the western encirclement.
One hundred cavalrymen, like wounded lambs escaping to heaven, drove their tired horses and rushed through the gap desperately. By the time Ling Tong reacted and sent his troops to block the gap, Zhang Liao and his cavalry had already escaped. .
Seeing Zhang Liao and his men escaping, Ling Tong was furious, wielding his sword and shouted: "Kill all the thieves, leaving no one behind."
The red horse and the silver knife, that majestic body crashed into the enemy group like a wheel. Wherever it passed, limbs were broken and blood flew everywhere. It was like an indestructible meat grinder, crushing all flesh and blood that stood in his way. into powder.
During the bloody battle, Li Dianzheng was injured, and suddenly heard a loud scream behind him. When he turned around, he saw an unstoppable enemy general. His soldiers were like paper, easily torn apart by him, and the sword was dancing wildly. The powerful hunting wind blasted towards his Tianling Gai head on.
Li Dian didn't have time to think too much, he quickly picked up the bloody sword and raised it above his head to resist the attack.
Dang~~
A loud sound shook the wilderness, and the dull bombardment penetrated the eardrums, only shaking the minds of the soldiers on the left and right.
With one blow, Li Dian felt a huge impact, like an overwhelming force pressing down from below. The muscles in his arms were so tight that they were about to break. The big knife in his hand sank, and the blade was just a hair away from cutting into his own. Iron helmet.
Sweat was pouring down from his forehead.
Li Dian gritted his teeth and took a breath. While roaring, he stretched out his arms with all his might and managed to swing the opponent's blade away.
Ling Tong's blade had just been swung away. With the force of the rebound, the broadsword turned a 180-degree vortex in the air, changed from chopping to sweeping, and the fan-shaped blade slashed towards Li Dian's waist.
Li Dian struggled to block the sword, but before he could take a breath, he turned sideways to block it with his sword. Under another heavy blow, Li Dian felt the tiger's mouth shake violently, and he could barely hold the handle of the knife in his hand.
After Ling Tongyi struck, the next move came immediately, without giving Li Dian any chance to breathe. The blade turned into heavy lightning, wrapping Li Dian's whole body in it, forcing him to only parry.
When it comes to martial arts, Ling Tong and Li Dian are not on par with each other. When it comes to fighting, Li Dian is not afraid of his opponent at all.
But the current situation is that Ling Tong is waiting for work, with abundant physical strength and high fighting spirit, while Li Dian is not only exhausted from the long battle, but also suffered multiple wounds and blood flowing freely.
This is an asymmetrical battle.
In the blink of an eye, thirty moves have passed, and the young and energetic Ling Tong's sword became heavier and heavier, each move weighing almost a thousand pounds.However, Li Dian was in a hurry and his failure was obvious.
Sweat poured down like rain, blood flowed out, sweat and blood soaked all over the clothes and armor, sticking tightly to the body.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? At the slightest movement, the wound was in excruciating pain, but gradually, as if numb, he felt that every part of his body was gradually losing consciousness.
He was panting like an ox, and no other sound could be heard in his eardrums except his own heavy breathing.
In his blurry eyes, his vision became increasingly blurry, and he was in a trance filled with the light and shadow of swords, and he just continued to fight with the instinct of a warrior.
In a confused state of mind, all aspects of his life flashed before his eyes one by one, like a moving picture.
Glory and dreams, the unforgettable years of glory and excitement, everything is like passing clouds, gathering and dispersing, like bubbles, bursting at the touch of a button.
Is today the end of me?
Suddenly, there was a heartbreaking pain on his back, and Ling Tong's sword had cut deeply into his body. He even heard the sound of the blade piercing flesh and rubbing against his own bones at that moment.
"ah¡ª¡ª"
As if the last ray of life had been ignited, Li Dian could not feel the pain of the heavy injury at all. Like a mad beast, he swung his sword and fought back.
In shock, he was about to draw his sword to counterattack, but he didn't know that the big sword cut into Li Dian's body too deeply, and he couldn't pull it out even when he tried hard.
Seeing the blade coming back, Ling Tong didn't have time to think too much. He let go and abandoned the sword in a hurry, leaned back, and an iron bridge came across on horseback. The knife that exerted all its strength passed by his face, and the wind of Xunxun's knife actually scraped a red mark on his face.
After the blade swept across, Li Dian was exhausted. The sword flew out from his hand, and the huge swing force chopped several soldiers into pieces.
During the thrill, he dodged this dying blow. As Ling Tong went straight, the sword on his waist had gone out of the sheath, the cold light flashed, and a person came out of his head and flew into the air.
¡¡¡¡¡¡
At nearly noon, Ling Tong and his 5,000 victorious soldiers returned to camp in triumph. The blood-soaked soldiers had bloody heads hanging around their waists.
Not a single one of Cao's more than a thousand troops was left, and they were all killed by these tiger and wolf warriors.
Ling Tong walked at the front with his tall head and horse, holding Li Dian's head in his hand, with a look of pride between his brows. The officers and soldiers of the Wu army on the left and right were all looked at by Ling Tong.
Li Dian was a veteran general in Cao's army. Ling Tong personally killed this man in this battle, which was enough to shock the world.
As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Zhou Yu of course personally went out to welcome the return of the victorious army, and publicly announced a large reward to the three armies.
The entire Wu camp was immediately immersed in joy and excitement, and morale was so high that it soared into the sky.
After returning to the Chinese army's tent, Ling Tong put away his arrogance as a beheading general, raised his hands and said in shame, "Tong is incompetent, and letting Zhang Liao escape is a disservice to the commander-in-chief."
Zhou Yu waved his hand and smiled lightly: "Zhang Liao is an expert in cavalry. Even I can't keep him, let alone you. In this battle, you can wipe out all the enemy troops and kill Li Dian yourself. It is already a great achievement. It is enough." It makes the Cao thieves tremble with fear."
Ling Tong then straightened up and said: "I thought I could rape the Hefei defenders out of the city, but I didn't expect that Le Jin could really hold his nerve and watch Li Dian die without taking any action. Could it be that he saw through the governor?" Is your plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain unsuccessful?"
"Although Le Jin is a good general, he has absolutely no such strategy. I think Cao Cao has given instructions in advance." Zhou Yu was calm and did not take Le Jin seriously at all.
Ling Tong looked a little worried: "Now we can't take Hefei in one fell swoop. Although Li Dian has been killed, Cao Cao will definitely lead his army back to Hefei soon to help. I'm afraid there won't be much time left for us to attack Hefei."
Zhou Yu raised the corners of his mouth, and a hint of a sly smile appeared on his handsome face: "I have a plan for a long time, just to prepare for this. I will have to work hard for you again this time."

Jianping County Government Office, Wu County.
This place is located in the Wu Gorge, the last mouth of the Three Gorges, so it gets its name.
This Wu Gorge stretches for more than 70 miles, and the canyon is deep and winding. It is formed by the Yangtze River cutting across the main vein of Wushan Mountain. The twelve peaks of Wushan are located on the north and south banks of the Wu Gorge respectively. They reach Yunxiao at the top and stand ten thousand feet tall. They face unexpected events at the bottom and reach the bottom of the river. The terrain is extremely steep.
??Wuxian County is located in a dangerous place on the mountain roads on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Although it is a small county with a narrow area and poor people, its geographical location is extremely important.
A few months ago, Jiang Wan followed Zhuge LiangHe was ordered to lead 3,000 troops back to Jingzhou to aid. On the way, he heard that Guan Yu had died, so he was ordered to station in the Jianping area as the second line of defense to prevent Liu Feng's army from advancing westward.
At dusk, Jiang Wan was patrolling the city as usual. When he was about to go down to the city, he suddenly rode into the city and said that he was a messenger sent by Meng Da and that he had urgent matters to see him.
Jiang Wan was shocked and hurriedly called the messenger into the county government.
"Chiang Kai-shek and Liu Feng raised tens of thousands of troops to attack Yidu. My General Meng was outnumbered and the Yidao City was captured. General Meng had no choice but to lead the remaining army to withdraw towards Jianping. I ordered the young man to come and inform me, please Jiang engaged in making preparations quickly, Liu Feng's army will soon follow."
Hearing what the messenger said, Jiang Wan was shocked. While he was in shock, he suddenly remembered something and subconsciously put his hand on his chest.
In his chest, there was a piece of advice that Zhuge Liang sent to him secretly not long ago.
Zhuge Liang has given instructions that if one day Meng Da is defeated and comes to surrender, he will open this bag and find out how to deal with it. .
