Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 660 Both Camps Are Broken
With the development of the war, Liu Bei and Zang Ba's attacking soldiers gradually approached the camp wall of Zhang Liao's camp.

Many Xuzhou soldiers defending in the camp held their shields and leaned against the camp wall, using their body strength to resist the damage to the camp wall by the external bumper, and many soldiers stood on the camp wall, Shooting feather arrows, stabbing spears, throwing kerosene, stones and the like, using various means to block the enemy's attack.

The battlefield is cruel, and of course defense is always better than offense.

Therefore, many of Liu Bei and Zang Ba's attacking soldiers who approached the camp have been killed by arrows and stabbed with spears, and many of them were bleeding from the rocks thrown on the wall of the camp. There were also people who were hit by the fire oil tank, drenched in grease, and then ignited the flames, screaming and rolling on the ground to put out the fire.

As for the soldiers on the defensive side, many of them were also shot by the attacker's feather arrows, and their bodies either fell into the camp or fell out of the camp wall.

"Rush! Kill!", "Knock away, you must knock away!"

"Hold it, stand it!", "Burn them, burn them!"

The shouts of the attacking and defending sides were also one after another. At least until the camp wall was destroyed, the defensive battle was still in a stalemate.

Zhang Fei, Sun Guan, and Yin Li respectively led troops to attack the walls of Zhang Liao's camp like waves, regardless of the injuries of the soldiers in front, they just drove forward non-stop.

As the saying goes, kindness does not control soldiers, and there is no kindness at all on the battlefield. The victory in the war is based on the burial of soldiers' corpses.

Gradually, the attacking side seemed to have made a breakthrough. Some areas of the camp walls of Zhang Liao's camp were already in danger, and would soon be breached by the attacking side.

Once the camp wall that prevents the enemy from approaching is destroyed, the defender will lose the greatest advantage and can only fight hand-to-hand with the attacker.

But how could Song Xian alone be able to stop the attack led by Zhang Fei, Sun Guan, and Yin Li, so this camp seems to be not far from being broken.

At this time, on the north gate of Pengcheng, Lu Lingqi led Wei Xu and Cao Xing to watch the battle here, and many archers on the city wall shot some feathers at the soldiers of Liu Bei and Zang Ba who were attacking the camp. Arrows to assist in the defensive battle over there.

But there is still some distance between Zhang Liao's camp and Pengcheng, and the archers on the city wall can't help much.

Therefore, while watching the battle from above, Lu Lingqi, Wei Xu, and Cao Xing could naturally see that the defense of the camp was being breached little by little, and they knew that the camp would not last long.

Originally, they could have sent troops to support the camp, so they might be able to keep the camp, but Liu Bei and Zang Ba obviously still have nearly ten thousand troops watching. Sending troops at this time may not be able to rescue the camp, but it may be sent in vain. saved the lives of the rescued soldiers.

Therefore, thinking of the information sent by Zhang Liao yesterday, Lu Lingqi could only watch the camp being attacked by Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army.

Fortunately, they could see that in the camp over there, Song Xian was already preparing to evacuate. Before that, Song Xian was commanding a defensive battle on an arrow tower in the camp, and he had already seen that the situation was not good.

At this time, Song Xian had already descended from the arrow tower, and when he arrived at the area near the Sishui River in the army camp, he organized people to put down the rafts, and asked some soldiers to cross the river and retreat with the food and grass materials in the camp.

In this way, more than 5000 Xuzhou recruits who were originally staying in the camp, have quickly evacuated more than 2000 with various supplies, and basically moved enough food and grass.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the area of ​​the camp wall that was attacked, and a camp wall was finally broken by the Mount Tai bandits led by Sun Guan and Yin Li.

So Sun Guan and Yin Li personally led four or five hundred elite bandit soldiers from Mount Tai, and charged in at this breach.

The army was defeated like a mountain. After the breakthrough here, Xuzhou soldiers who were still defending in the camp also began to flee to the inside of the camp.

Fortunately, Song Xian was prepared, so he simply lit a flame in the camp, and used the burning camp to stop Liu Bei and Zang Ba soldiers led by Zhang Fei, Sun Guan, and Yin Li from chasing and killing them.

In the end, the entire Zhang Liao camp was engulfed in flames, and Song Xian fled across the river with the remaining soldiers and horses to the other side, temporarily leaving the battlefield.

Liu Bei and Zang Ba were helpless when they saw such a scene, but at least they had eliminated a defensive fortress outside Pengcheng, and then they only needed to deal with Pengcheng.

But Guan Yu suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and hurried to Liu Bei's side, "Brother, just now a certain family was watching the battle, and it seems that Zhang Liao has never seen Zhang Liao in this camp. Will that Zhang Liao..."

At this time, suddenly someone rushed over to this side, but it was the reporting soldier who stayed in Liu Bei and Zang Ba's camp.

"Report... Zhang Liao is leading troops to attack the camp, and the camp can no longer be defended!"

It turned out that after Zhang Liao's failed attack last night, although he retreated with his soldiers and horses, he only searched for a place two or three miles away from Liu Bei and Zang Ba's camp for a temporary rest, and then sent scouts to observe the situation of Liu Bei and Zang Ba's camp.

Now knowing that Liu Bei and Zang Ba brought the main force to attack Pengcheng at noon, Zhang Liao counterattacked and attacked Liu Bei and Zang Ba's camp again.

At this moment, Liu Bei and Zang Ba thought that Zhang Liao was in the camp here, so naturally they did not expect that Zhang Liao would lead troops to attack. The soldiers left in the camp were only more than 2000 regular soldiers and more than 1 auxiliary soldiers, young and strong.

The one Liu Bei stayed in the camp was Mi Zhu who came later to deliver supplies and was mainly in charge of logistics in the camp. Zang Ba stayed in the camp as a general Wu Dun. The two were originally in charge of the affairs of their respective camps.

As a result, Zhang Liao suddenly attacked with his troops, but Liu Bei and Zang Ba's camp was not as strong as Zhang Liao's camp. Before long, Zhang Liao had already looked for a breakthrough the night before, and rushed in through the breach in the camp wall that had not been completely repaired.

Although Zhang Liao attacked during the day, his tracks had already been exposed, and Mi Zhu and Wu Dun had summoned men to defend, but they still couldn't stop Zhang Liao from entering the camp.

Mi Zhu and Wu Dun had no choice but to concentrate their forces to guard the storage area where the grain, grass and supplies were located, and then resist Zhang Liao's surprise attack layer by layer.

Zhang Liao did not forcefully attack the area where Mi Zhu and Wu Dun led the troops, but drove and killed the ordinary auxiliary soldiers and young men in the camp all the way, and then set fire to destroy the camp again, almost burning down the camp of Liu Bei and Zang Ba. Most of them killed more than 6000 auxiliary soldiers and young adults and dispersed [-] to [-] people.

It was only after the entire camp of Liu Bei and Zang Ba was engulfed in flames that Zhang Liao led his troops to drive those auxiliary soldiers and Qing Zhuang to the area guarded by Mi Zhu and Wu Dun, preparing to completely destroy the grain and grass of Liu Bei and Zang Ba's coalition forces. supplies.

Of course, the soldier who came to report the news was sent by Mi Zhu a long time ago, so now I don't know how the battle between Zhang Liao, Mi Zhu, and Wu Dun is going, but this news has shocked Liu Bei and Zang Ba here. ...
