Guan Yu slashed the leader of the dead man in front of him first. The fact that the other party rushed in front of Guan Yu showed how bad the current situation was!
¡¾The situation is not good. Although Yan Liang and Jushou were killed, our army lost all its energy after breaking through Yuan Shaojun's ten-layer defense line. The other party just used huge casualties and difficult breakthroughs to exhaust our army's energy! ] After Guan Yu failed to charge forward, he was secretly worried.
"General, something bad happened. Our left wing was broken through by Yuan Shao's army. General Li Ran is leading his headquarters to fight the enemy general Lu Kuang!" A soldier rushed over and shouted at Guan Yu.
"Chen Jin, lead a unit of Yuan Shao's army to block my right wing!" Guan Yu roared. Once Yuan Shao's army breaks into the central army, it may completely block his return. Similarly, Liu Bei, who is behind the central army, may also be attacked. attack.
When Chen Jin led a group of troops to Guan Yu's left wing, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang had already killed Li Ran, and Guan Yu's army was fighting back hard. However, after two hours of fierce fighting, Guan Yu's army was already somewhat defeated by Yuan Shao, who was waiting for work. Right wing mixed corps.
Similarly, on the other side, Cabbage had already fallen under Wen Chou's sword. The angry Wen Chou led his troops directly into Gan Ning's middle army, preparing to cut off Gan Ning's retreat and then kill Guan Yu to avenge Yan Liang.
At this moment, Yuan Shaojun's left and right wings have successfully captured Liu Beijun's front army. Basically, from this moment on, Liu Beijun's front army has little hope of being able to withdraw on its own strength. They will either die in battle or fight their way out. The bloody path pushed Yuan Shaojun back, or he could only rely on external forces.
"General, the military commander has an order. Cut off the central army!" Probably less than five miles away from the battlefield, Gao Lan, who led his army from the Bohai Sea, was already in place.
"What? How could such an order be given?" Gao Lan said in shock. In his opinion, the most correct way now is to go around to the rear of Liu Bei's army and launch a surprise attack on Liu Bei's headquarters.
"The military commander personally issued an order requiring you to directly attack the Chinese army! The goal is to directly cut off the Chinese army!" the ordering soldier said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
"Pass my general's order, and the entire army mounts its horses and prepares to charge!" Gao Lan stared at the secret order, and he roared immediately after confirming its authenticity.
It is fifteen miles east of the battlefield. They rowed a boat and took a shortcut after landing ashore, but even with all their efforts, Xu Shu and Wei Yan still couldn't block Gao Lan's Bohai Jingqi!
"There is nothing we can do. We can't make it after half an hour's rest." Xu Shu said with a long sigh. He guessed at that time that the other party was Gao Lan who was stationed in Bohai Sea. Be clearer about what the other person¡¯s goals are.
It¡¯s a pity that Xu Shu even knew the other party¡¯s goal. Knowing who the other party is, knowing what methods the other party will use, and knowing how the other party will move, Xu Shu still has no choice. He tried his best to attack the waterway through the night and still did not block Gao Lan. This is the difference in mobility. !
And now that the reorganized legion is so exhausted, even if it rushes to the battlefield, it doesn't have much combat effectiveness, so at this distance, the shouts of killing on the battlefield can already be heard. Xu Shu finally chose to rest.
"Yuan Zhi, our army was a quarter of an hour late. The scout came to report. He had already seen Gao Lan's banner ten miles ahead. When he withdrew, the opponent had already mounted his horse and was preparing to charge. Do we still have to rest here? "Wei Yan said impatiently. After a night of running around, he finally got this result.
"We must rest, even if the opponent launches an attack. We must rest. We need to rest for half an hour to regain our combat effectiveness!" Xu Shu said in a deep voice. He was actually extremely anxious, but he calmly comforted Wei Yan and Guan Ping.
"What's more, the lord is surrounded by generals, General Gan, and capable ministers such as Jia Military Advisor, Guo Military Advisor, and Lu Governor, so he will have no worries." Xu Shu seemed to be comforting Wei Yan, but in fact he was cheering himself up.
After all, the strategy of transferring Gao Lan from Bohai to Yanzhou is too dangerous. Unless you have great courage, it is difficult to agree. You must know that Gao Lan's departure means that the defense of Bohai County, the largest county in Jizhou, is empty. Fighting against Bohai, Liu Bei must also be destroyed. Yuan Shao's ambition is evident!
"Okay, let's rest for half an hour, order the soldiers to rest and eat something, and we will launch an attack in half an hour!" Wei Yan said as calmly as possible, he did not want his panic to be transmitted to his soldiers.
The soldiers under Wei Yan¡¯s command are all elite veterans of more than ten battles, and a small number of them belong to the city management troops that Wei Yan shamelessly detained!
Of course, this is also because Liu Bei admires Wei Yan very much and turns a blind eye to this aspect. However, it is precisely because of this that this reorganized army can rush to Yanzhou overnight. Otherwise, if other armies do this, they will not be able to survive even if they still have the courage to do so. I want to fight, but how can I rest like this and eat something to still have the strength to fight again?
Get the orderLater, all the soldiers under Wei Yan's command flexed their muscles and bones on the spot and swallowed the dried meat Xu Shu had given them last night.
Knowing the urgency of this battle, Xu Shu threw away the extra baggage and food last night, distributed all the dried meat to the soldiers, each received three steamed buns and went straight on the road. Now this group of people are just swallowing dry food and drinking When walking on the waterway, use bamboo pipes to fill the water.
When Wei Yan's army was taking final rest, Liu Bei's army encountered the biggest crisis since the war began. Gao Lan's 6,000 elite cavalry followed the order issued before the trial and directly cut in from the center of the encirclement, killing Liu Bei's army and Yuan Shao's army at the same time. Cut in half!
Compared with the strength of Yuan Shaojun, the shortcomings of Liu Beijun's force being cut into two sections were completely exposed. Moreover, because Gao Lan charged regardless of the casualties between the enemy and ourselves, Liu Beijun had no time to defend and was cut into two sections.
As a result, Liu Bei's front army was completely surrounded by Yuan Shao's army. Guan Yu, Xu Chu, and Gan Ning were all trapped in the formation, making it difficult to break out.
Gao Lan, who penetrated from the east to the west, joined the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry with open jaws the moment he rushed out of the army. At the same time, he launched an attack on Zhao Yun, who had less than a thousand personal guards. After killing Zhao Yun, they were enough to defeat Liu Bei. The army behind the army is also surrounded!
Gao Lan started from the east and dug through Liu Bei's army's center. Wen Chou and Lu Kuang's front army swarmed up, preparing to completely cut off the connection between Liu Bei's army's front and center.
"Wu Anguo, just form a phalanx to defend, there is no need to counterattack!" Seeing Lu Su preparing to order Wu Anguo, who was guarding a few of his people, to lead an army to rescue the front army, Jia Xu said calmly.
"Wen He, if we don't join forces with the front army led by General Guan and others to open the encirclement at this time, our front army will be completely trapped!" Lu Su said immediately in shock, and Liu Bei's expression became serious at this time. . (To be continued.)
