The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 688 Breakout Battle

With Liu Zheng Jinyiwei's investigation, these news quickly reached Liu Zheng's ears.

Sure enough, his Jin Yiwei saw some people digging furtively on the land near Gaotang Lake.

Although the matter was done secretly, a lot of labor was needed to break the dam of Gaotang Lake, and the movement could not be too small, as long as Liu Zheng's men paid a little attention, they could detect it.

When the news reached Liu Zheng's ears, another two days passed.

The water level of the Huaihe River has risen again. Although it has not yet reached the point where Huainan City will be directly flooded, time is a little tighter for Liu Zheng.

"My lord, something is wrong. Those people are really digging a dam, and it is very likely that they will break through the water in Gaotang Lake and divert the flood water to directly irrigate Huainan City!"

After receiving the news, Xu Huang reported the news to Liu Zheng nervously.

Although Xu Huang reported the news to him, Liu Zheng at this time was not surprised at all, as if he had already guessed it.

"Yes, if Liu Bei is not stupid, he will definitely not give up the opportunity to flood Huainan City. This will embarrass us a bit."

Liu Bei was not in a hurry to attack the city, but just wanted to wait for the water level to rise, and then use the water of the Huaihe River to flood Huainan.

This time, Liu Zheng really didn't expect that the Huaihe River was rising recently, and the soldiers and horses he brought were all Xu Huang's cavalry.

The cavalry originally planned to attack Liu Bei's men with all their strength after exhaustion when Liu Bei was attacking the city with all his strength, but now he did not expect that Liu Bei would not attack.

"My lord, what shall we do now?"

"What else can I do? Of course I have to leave. If I stay here, I just wait to be flooded by them. They have surrounded the city walls on three sides. There is nothing here by the river. Two days ago, I let Zulang's water The army came to support."

"Later, we will take advantage of Liu Bei's troops and have not yet implemented the plan to flood Huainan, so we will give Liu Bei a warning first."

"What kind of plan?"

"Wenpin and I will lead 2 people to break through. I guess they will deliberately let me break through, and then annihilate our army in the wild. But at this time, you will lead [-] cavalry to break out from behind and severely damage Liu Bei's morale. How about it?"

Since Liu Bei intends to flood Huainan City, it is naturally impossible for Liu Zheng to sit here and wait for Liu Bei to flood Huainan. Naturally, Liu Zheng still has to make some changes.

This time, Xu Huang became interested. He didn't have any plans in this city for the past few days, and he was a little impatient. Now that Liu Zheng finally wanted to fight Liu Bei, how could Xu Huang refuse.

"My lord, just give me an order. The cavalry under my command will finally come in handy. After raising soldiers for a few years, it's time for the lord to make meritorious deeds!"

Xu Huang's emotions were high, which gave Liu Zheng some hope.

"Well, without further ado, let Wenpin lead the city defenders to come over immediately. We plan to break out from the south gate. The south gate is where Liu Bei's people deliberately show weakness. They are actually waiting for us to break through. We will do whatever we can. .”

Although Liu Bei surrounded the entire Huainan City, Liu Bei, who had only 1 troops, sent [-] Chen soldiers to the west, [-] Chen soldiers to the north, and only [-] soldiers to the south.

The meaning of this is obvious. If Liu Zheng breaks through, he will have to choose the south.

In fact, Liu Bei also wanted Liu Zheng to break out of the siege, because Liu Zheng did not have many troops in Huainan City. Once he broke through, Liu Bei was still sure that he could kill Liu Zheng outside the city.

During the siege battle, Liu Bei's people were at a disadvantage, but in the field encounters, Liu Bei's people had the advantage, whether it was an advantage in military strength or an advantage in individual combat power, it was obvious.

So Liu Bei just waited for Liu Zheng to break through.

It just so happened that Liu Zheng could also understand Liu Bei's thoughts. At this time, he simply followed his plan and gave it a go.

Soon, under Liu Zheng's signal, the number of people on the city tower began to decrease, and the people in the city, Liu Zheng led Wenpin's troops, stationed at the south gate.

"Open the city gate, let's fight out, remember to be ready to withdraw to the city at any time, give people like Liu Bei the illusion that we are going to make a surprise attack!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Wenpin waved his hand at the soldiers controlling the city gate, motioning to open the city gate.

Then the city gate was slowly opened, and Liu Zhengjun inside, led by Wen Pin, began to rush out of Huainan City.

Liu Bei's garrison outside the city was still a little leisurely, but he didn't think that Liu Zheng's people would leave the city at this time, but at the moment when the city gate moved, these people outside the city immediately blew their horns.

The whirring sound immediately made Liu Beijun's troops nervous.

"The enemy is out of the city!"

I don't know who yelled, and the soldiers guarding the south gate by Zhang Fei immediately stood up at this moment, and began to surround the gate.

Wenpin's men did not hesitate at all. When Wenpin opened the city gate, they rushed towards the place with the most people, with the purpose of breaking out of the city.

Zhang Fei glanced at the enemy rushing towards him, waved his hand, took his Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand, and shouted towards his side.

"Brother actually got it right. Those people from Liu Zheng will actually break through at this city gate. Soldiers, don't let Liu Zheng's men escape from us! Come up with me to block the enemy, and the men from Big Brother will break out of this city gate! Come here in a short time!"

After Zhang Fei gave a stern shout, he charged up ahead of others, intending to lead by example and block Liu Zheng's breakout troops first.

Zhang Fei's strength is very strong, and the soldiers and horses deployed in the south are also very strong, all of them are Liu Bei's elite.

Although there are only 1 soldiers and horses arranged by Liu Bei at the southern city gate, it is the most elite [-] people.

And at the first time, Gongsun Zan who was at the other city gate would come over in a short time. Some of Gongsun Zan's cavalry were the most elite white horse followers of Gongsun Zan. Quickly support the southern gate.

So although the south seems to be a good place to break through, in fact, there are heavy guards here. If Liu Zheng's troops choose to break out of this place, unless Liu Zheng's troops are as many as Liu Bei's.

Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to break out from here.

Wenpin and Zhang Fei's soldiers collided with each other at this time, and immediately the two sides fought fiercely, but Wenpin did not kill a hole, but Zhang Fei's troops were forced to block Wenpin's attack.

689 chapter sound east hit west

Wenpin shot several of Zhang Feijun's soldiers away with a single shot, and seeing the enemy troops surrounding him, he forcibly suppressed the soldiers on his side.

At this time, Wenpin was also a little anxious.

Regardless of so much, he directly led the front part of the troops and began to fight the enemy here. The soldiers and horses under him were also the elite of Liu Zheng's men. Facing the troops under Zhang Fei, they were not far behind. The battle and the subsequent reaction triggered also followed at this time.

A battle of tens of thousands of people is not enough in a short while. The two sides stalemate here, and Gongsun Zan's army stationed at the two outer city gates rushed over at this time.

Liu Zheng went out of the city not to break out of the siege, but to attract soldiers from Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan and others to the south gate.

The main function of Wenpin's army is to attract the attention of the enemy and provide cover for Liu Zheng's army on the other side.

The battle lasted less than a stick of incense, and the troops of Gongsun Zan's army who had received the news from the side had already arrived on the battlefield.

"Liu Zheng, if you want to break out, have you asked me, Gongsun Zan?"

From far away, Gongsun Zan shouted, trying to show his majesty.

As soon as the voice reached the battlefield, a group of white horses was seen galloping not far away.

Two thousand cavalry rushed to the front first.

Although Baima Yicong is powerful, the number of people has always been a problem, because Gongsun Zan has obsessive-compulsive disorder, it's not that he doesn't want white horses, so the number of horses limits the number of his white horse Yicong.

It is impossible to grow without limit. Even when he has more white horses, it is only four thousand horses. When there are few, just like now, there are only two thousand horses.

In this way, his Baima Yicong can only have more than 2000 people.

When Baima Yicong came to the battlefield, the Wenpin army, which had gradually gained the upper hand, began to show some disadvantages.

When only some of Zhang Fei's men were here, because Zhang Fei's men were not many, it was not easy to completely block Wenpin's 2 people.

In addition, Liu Zheng had already ordered Wenpin before, don't worry about the enemy generals, just kill the opponent's soldiers.

Therefore, the men led by Wenpin were able to suppress Zhang Fei's 1 men in a short period of time.

And it has vaguely begun to break out to the periphery of the encirclement.

But now that Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong has arrived here, the situation has reversed somewhat.

Although the number of Baima Yicong is small, they are cavalry after all, and cavalry has a terrible ability to rule on the battlefield.

As soon as they appeared, they immediately used long-range shooting, causing a lot of damage to these soldiers under Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng, who hid in the inner city and never fought in person, immediately gave the order after seeing Gongsun Zan's reinforcements arrive.

"Retreat! Retreat to the city! Retreat, don't continue to break through!"

The cavalry arrived, and more reinforcements moved closer to it.It is not a wise choice to continue to break through.

Anyway, Liu Zheng also had his own plan, so he simply ordered the people who broke through at this time not to continue to rush forward, but to start to withdraw.

You only need to guard the gate of Huainan City.

Buying time for Xu Huang's people is enough to achieve Liu Zheng's goal.

"Hold the city gate, don't let the enemy enter the city, our goal has been achieved! Hold on!"

After receiving Liu Zheng's order, Wenpin immediately drew back his long spear. After a bloody battle, Wenpin was a little excited at this time, but Liu Zheng ordered him to retreat, and he had to obey Liu Zheng's order .

"Brothers, withdraw!"

Wenpin yelled at the soldiers around him, and then took the lead and began to retreat to the gate of Huainan City.

The soldiers on Zhang Fei's side, because of the reinforcements, became more and more courageous as they fought. Although they had already lost centaurs, they were not afraid of it. Instead, they continued to attack and chased Wenpin's men.

The two sides got involved at this time, and caused some losses to these troops under Liu Zheng's command, but it was not enough to wipe out all the soldiers and horses in Liu Zheng's hands.

Liu Zheng can also rely on Wenpin's men to continue the fierce battle with Zhang Fei's men here.

At the same time, more and more people gathered at the southern city gate, and Liu Zheng also knew that this was the perfect time for Xu Huang's troops to start attacking.

On the one hand, he sent people to inform Xu Huang in the city to lead [-] cavalry to fight out from other city gates, and deal a fatal blow to these enemy troops.

At the same time, he commanded the rest of the troops, here to resist the impact of Zhang Fei and Gongsun Zan.

At the west gate of Huainan City.

Xu Huang, who had already been prepared to attack at any time, refused to wait any longer after receiving Liu Zheng's order, and immediately sent his troops out of the city.

Guarding the west gate was Liu Chong's [-]-strong army and some of Gongsun Zan's troops.

After Gongsun Zan's troops received the call for help from the southern city gate, they immediately led the Baima Yicong from the headquarters to support them, leaving only [-] Liu Chong's soldiers at the western city gate, and some of Liu Chong's soldiers were also rushing. On the way to the south, I plan to support the southern city gate.

That is to say, at the west city gate at this time, the total number of soldiers and horses stationed outside the city is less than 1.

When the city gate opened and Xu Huang's cavalry rushed out from here, it immediately caused panic among the remaining soldiers and horses stationed here.

They never expected that some people in the city would break out from the west gate.

However, Liu Chong, who was stationed here, was not afraid after seeing this situation, but showed a trace of excitement on his face.

"Interesting, very interesting. I didn't expect that Liu Zheng would actually attack the east and west. He sent people to attack the south gate, and now he has deployed so many cavalry at the west gate. It seems that what they really want to attack is the west city. Door!"

At this time, Liu Chong didn't know that there were as many as [-] cavalry in the city, and he only saw a part of the cavalry rushing out of the city.

I only thought that these people in myself could fight against those in the city. As long as Liu Bei's people reacted, the people at the North City Gate would come to support them soon.

So instead of being afraid, Liu Chong immediately asked his own people to go up to stop Xu Huang and the others from breaking through.

Although there are less than [-] people, it is still possible for the Lord to be at the gate of the city.

Those Liu Chong's troops were also well-trained. Under Liu Chong's order, they immediately formed a phalanx one by one. As Liu Chong took the lead in charging, they also took the initiative to meet Xu Huang's cavalry.

Xu Huang, who was rushing to the front, laughed when he saw that there were still some who were not afraid of death and wanted to compete with their cavalry.

"Soldiers, follow me to charge, and show these people some fierce enemies!"

6 Chapter Ninety

In an instant, thousands of cavalry rushed out of the city, and these war horses began to trample here unscrupulously like wild horses.

The soldiers and horses under Liu Chong obviously have not confronted the real cavalry head-on, and they don't know how terrifying the cavalry is.

At the very beginning, he actually wanted to use his own body to fight against the enemies on horses.

But after the first wave of people came into contact with the people on horseback, and a one-sided battle broke out, Liu Chong realized that he was careless.

Xu Huang's cavalry was imposing like a rainbow, and a charge directly tore a hole in the battle formation lined up by thousands of people under Liu Chong's command.

Before Liu Chong and the others reacted, they had already wiped out thousands of soldiers and horses, and there was no time to deal with them.

Because Liu Chong himself was the chief general, he was riding a horse, but he was not scattered by Xu Huang's cavalry.

But most of the soldiers around him were killed or injured, which made Liu Chong's expression panic.

"This"

The look of surprise on Liu Chong's face only lasted for a few seconds. Soon, Xu Huang and his party rushed back and forth here several times, which increased the casualties of Liu Chong's soldiers. Liu Chong didn't have time to take care of the soldiers around him, because he I was also besieged by some cavalry around me.

Liu Chong, who had wanted to fight in person on the battlefield for a long time, would not hesitate, and immediately started fighting these enemy troops at this moment.

Although Liu Chong is young, only 21 years old, he has practiced martial arts these days, and he really looks like a heroic general when riding a horse.

The spear quickly stabbed back and forth several times, which really allowed him to kill a few of Xu Huang's cavalry. Liu Chong, who was so confident, thought that as long as he killed the chief of these cavalry, he would definitely be able to delay the time, so he looked around. Looking at it, I saw Xu Huang who was wearing armor different from others at a glance.

"That's the chief general. Killing him will cause chaos among the cavalry. At that time, I will be able to delay until Liu Bei's reinforcements arrive!"
