Zhang Yun also ordered the cavalry who had already landed to charge, and did not give Chen Deng a chance to adjust his formation.
Zhang Xiong led more than a hundred knights to charge forward, and began to accelerate as soon as they landed, charging forcefully regardless of casualties.
The cavalry came roaring.Although half of them were shot by arrows, they still managed to rush into Chen Deng's formation.
Zhang Xiong was also shot by several arrows, blood was flowing, but he still rushed forward, galloping his horse, and rushed directly to Chen Deng's battle flag.
Then more knights rushed in and massacred the crossbowmen.
Without a warrior like Xu Sheng holding the formation, the combat effectiveness of the infantry was greatly reduced.Seeing the cavalry rushing into the formation, Chen Deng's subordinates immediately panicked.When Zhang Yun himself entered the formation, morale collapsed, and the infantry dropped their weapons and began to flee.There are very few who can maintain their formation, let alone organize counterattacks.
Zhang He drove straight in and bit Chen Deng.
Chen Deng's face was pale.
He knew there was no escape.Without enough cavalry, he could not escape Zhang Xi's pursuit.
"Zhang thief, I will fight with you." Chen Deng did not retreat but advanced, and rushed towards Zhang Yun with his sword.
Zhang He sighed, holding the halberd with one hand, and stabbing into Chen Deng's chest.
Chen Deng lost his breath, his eyes wide open, full of unwillingness.
Without command, the five or six thousand infantry fell into complete chaos and were ruthlessly hunted down by more than 1000 cavalry, causing heavy casualties.
It wasn't until Zhang Yun received the news from Gao Lan that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei had seized the opportunity to forcefully cross the river and might attack his camp, so he ordered his troops to withdraw, retreated quickly, and rushed to the nearest Zhang Fei's position.
-
After receiving Chen Deng's request for help, Zhang Fei was still hesitating whether to send cavalry for reinforcements, but when he saw Zhang He's battle flag, he immediately gave up the idea of reinforcements.
Now that Zhang Xi has arrived here, Chen Deng is either safe or finished.
It is he who is in danger now.
Zhang Fei immediately ordered to stick to the formation and prepare for the battle.
When he got on his horse with a spear and was about to go out to challenge Zhang He, Zhang He chose to retreat, and led more than a thousand cavalry to the rear in person.
Zhang Fei didn't have enough cavalry, and he was afraid that Zhang He would make a false move to lure him in, so he had to give up this opportunity to fight Zhang He at close range, and watched Zhang He go away.
Zhang He and Gao Lanhui met, checked Liu Bei's position, and chose to return to camp.
Liu Bei's troops were insufficient, seeing Zhang He and Gao Lan join forces, he broke into a cold sweat from fright.Seeing Zhang Yun and Gao Lan retreating without a fight, he let out a sigh of relief, but his face remained calm.
"Xiaozhi, quickly send someone to investigate and see how Yide and Yuanlong are doing."
Fazheng responded and arranged for people to find out the news.He stared at the fading smoke in the distance, and smacked his lips.
"My lord, I'm afraid Gao Lan is useless."
Liu Bei looked back at Fazheng with a dazed expression.
Fazheng raised his finger. "Gao Lan has a lot of troops, but he has never launched a real attack. It should be to contain our army and provide opportunities for Zhang Yun. As one of the four court pillars in Hebei, he will not want to seize such an opportunity. The reason why he didn't It should be intentional and powerless to make a move."
Liu Bei felt reasonable.
He knew that Gao Lan had been seriously injured, but he hadn't heard much about Gao Lan since then, probably because the injury had affected his physical strength.Commanding in front of the battle, even if you don't need to fight in person, there are high demands on the general's physical strength.Once the physical strength is exhausted, the army may lose command, which is very dangerous.
"If Gao Lan is abolished, the only one who can really fight is Zhang Xi, which is a good thing for us."
"That's right, march in immediately, surround Zhang He's camp, and force Gao Lan to rescue him." Fazheng clenched his fists with a little excitement.
If, as he had expected, Gao Lan's injury had affected his physical strength, Liu Bei might have made great achievements in eliminating Zhang Xi and Gao Lan, two famous Hebei generals, in one fell swoop before the real siege.
Liu Bei also realized this, and felt inexplicably happy.
But the cruel reality soon gave them a heavy blow.
Chen Deng was killed, his troops collapsed, and more than half of them were killed.
Zhang Fei, who was the first to receive the news, had already given up his offensive plan under Huang Yi's suggestion, and withdrew his main force to the south of Zhangshui to avoid accidents.
Liu Bei was shocked and regretted it too late.
He wanted Chen Deng to learn a lesson, but he didn't expect the lesson to be so severe. Chen Deng was not only defeated by Zhang He, but also killed.
As a result, his loss of troops was too great, and it was difficult for him to surround Zhang Xi, let alone defeat Gao Lan's reinforcements at the same time.
With insufficient troops, a forced attack would only lead to greater losses. Liu Bei had no choice but to take the same option as Zhang Fei's and withdraw his troops back to the camp.
Fazheng was also very nervous.
Chen Deng died. This was not a simple defeat, and he, the military adviser, was also to blame.He can fool other people, but he cannot fool the emperor.
Chapter 900
"What the hell is Fa doing?" Zhuge Liang frowned and muttered in a low voice. "This is taking risks. Once Zhang Yun seizes the opportunity, he will suffer a lot."
"Yes, yes." Zhuge Jin wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Zhuge Liang anxiously. "Can you present Huang Changshi's documents to the emperor as soon as possible, please the emperor to decide."
Zhuge Liang nodded. "I'll ask later. If I remember correctly, Huang Changshi's documents haven't been delivered yet. But..." He hesitated for a moment, a little embarrassed. "Even if the emperor sees the document, it is unlikely that he will actively interfere."
"Why? Is this going to die without saving?" Zhuge Jin became a little anxious, and his voice became louder, attracting people on the side to look over.
Zhuge Liang waved his hand, signaling Zhuge Jin not to be nervous.The two finished the rest of the food, got up and left the restaurant.Zhuge Jin was a little anxious, and followed Zhuge Liang closely without falling behind.
"Brother, Shijun Liu will go to sea to fight in the future."
"I know."
"Overseas expeditions, can you still write everything to the letter, please ask the emperor to make a decision?"
Zhuge Jin froze for a moment. "So, just watch him being defeated by Zhang Xi?"
"If he can't defeat Zhang Xi under such circumstances, how can he take on the heavy responsibility of overseas expeditions in the future?" Zhuge Liang waved his hand. "Brother, don't worry. In my opinion, even if Liu Shijun makes a mistake, he won't be in too much danger. The most dangerous one is Chen Deng."
"Chen Deng?" Zhuge Jin was taken aback, looking at Zhuge Liang in confusion.
Although Chen Deng is the weakest, he is the furthest away from Zhang He.Will Zhang Yun go to attack Chen Deng when the camp is threatened by Liu Bei and Zhang Fei?
This does not sound like common sense in the art of war.
"Injuring his ten fingers is worse than cutting off one." Zhuge Liang sighed. "Besides, there is a big family from Xuzhou behind Chen Deng. If he is defeated, or even captured like last time, can the Xiapi Chen family remain indifferent? If my guess is right, the Xiapi Chen family will definitely come forward and ask for a peace agreement. Du Tian as a condition, in exchange for Chen Deng not dying."
Zhuge Jin reacted. "If that's the case, the emperor has no choice but to agree."
Zhuge Liang corrected: "It's not good for the emperor to agree, and it's not good not to agree."
Zhuge Jin took a deep breath and said after a while: "So..."
Zhuge Liang didn't pick up his topic, and continued: "The Son of Heaven intends to let the generals show their talents, so it is unlikely that they will take the initiative to attack Yecheng. If Chen Deng's army is wiped out like last time, Liu Shijun will not be able to attack because of his lack of troops. Yecheng. As a result, the originally planned four-sided encirclement is missing one side. Shenpei and Tian Feng can concentrate their forces to deal with other people."
"Who will be next?"
"It's hard to say. Logically speaking, Sun Ce is the weakest and lacks cavalry, so he is most likely to be defeated. But the Northern Army is new, and the cooperation among the various ministries is not tacit, so it may be defeated."
Zhuge Liang frowned. "The newly added generals of the Eighth School of the Northern Army are all rare generals, but the gathering of so many generals is beyond the control of ordinary people. In case of setbacks, Shi Sun Junrong's hope of succeeding the Taiwei will fail, and the court will inevitably rise again. Waves."
Surprise appeared in Zhuge Jin's eyes. He wondered if Zhuge Liang was thinking too much.
"Brother, you rest in the camp, I'll go to the lecture hall to have a look."
"Okay." Zhuge Jin responded, and suddenly remembered something. "By the way, Kong Ming, how do you plan to arrange the third brother's matter?"
Zhuge Liang frowned. "Didn't you let him go to the lecture hall?"
"Do you think he is someone who can command troops to fight?"
"Jiangwutang is not all generals who lead the army to fight. It is fine to be a military official. The emperor intends to conquer, and the one who has the most opportunities to make meritorious service is to join the army."
"Why don't you join the army?"
A trace of regret flashed in Zhuge Liang's eyes. "You can't have both, fish and bear's paw."
-
Zhuge Liang went to the lecture hall and found the document sent by Huang Yi.
As expected, the left-behind personnel of the martial arts hall did not realize the importance of this document at all, and put it aside.Seeing Zhuge Liang coming to fetch it, they thought it was the emperor's order, and broke out in a cold sweat.
Zhuge Liang didn't say much, took the documents, and immediately returned to the imperial tent.
After completing the relevant procedures, Zhuge Liang opened the document, read it again, became more disturbed, and hurried to Liu Xie.
Liu Xie was talking to Hua Tuo, when Zhuge Liang came in, Hua Tuo stood up and said goodbye.
Liu Xie glanced at Zhuge Liang. "What happened?"
Zhuge Liang sat down opposite Liu Xie, handed over the document in his hand, and then explained the situation, not even missing out on Zhuge Jin's visit.
Liu Xie blinked, took the document with a calm expression, read it again, and put it down again.
"Even if Chen Deng is attacked, so what?"
"Your Majesty, if Chen Deng is captured, and the Xiapi Chen family accepts Dutian as a condition, please Your Majesty negotiate a peace with the judge, in exchange for Chen Deng not dying?"
"He can change it if he says it? Can the judge agree?"
"The judge is an old official of Chen Deng's uncle Chen Qiu, and he has been in contact with Chen Deng before."
"Really?" Liu Xie's eyes narrowed.
Chen Deng had contact with the judge in private?This was something he didn't know.
No wonder the last time Chen Deng was captured, he had the confidence not to surrender. It turned out that he knew that he would not only die.
"Accepting the appointment doesn't mean I will agree." Liu Xie smiled. "If I don't agree, what can he do? Anyway, Chen Deng won't die, so it doesn't matter if he waits in Yecheng for a few months."
Zhuge Liang didn't persuade him any more.
He heard the emperor's displeasure, and it was useless to persuade him.
"Your Majesty, if Fazheng did this, he might be suspected of killing people with a knife, and it might affect the trust among the generals. What if..."
Liu Xie snorted lightly.
He didn't care whether Chen Deng died or not, but Fazheng went too far this time.Liu Bei's soldiers are mainly Xuzhou people. If Xuzhou people feel that he borrowed a knife to kill people, mutual trust will inevitably be affected.
Generals and counselors do not trust each other, how can they fight?Fazheng is also easy to take risks, if the generals think that he is borrowing a knife to kill again, they will probably save their strength immediately.
"Wait for the results." Liu Xie said: "It's too early to say these things. Inform the former general Duan Yan, let him be careful, don't be taken advantage of by Zhang He and Gao Lan, and be ready to reinforce Liu Bei at any time."
"Wei." Zhuge Liang responded, and turned around to get out of the tent.
"Your Majesty..." A casual rider walked in quickly. "Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei Emergency Military Report."
Zhuge Liang stopped subconsciously.
Liu Xie took the military newspaper, glanced at it, and frowned.
There are three lines of cinnabar on the military newspaper, which is the most urgent military newspaper. Liu Bei is afraid that he will suffer a major setback.
He opened the military newspaper, read it, then shook his head and let out a sigh of relief.
"Kong Ming, Chen Deng died in battle."
"Death?" Zhuge Liang was taken aback, feeling a little unbelievable.Although it is not uncommon to kill a general before the battle, but in Chen Deng's identity, it seems too ruthless to kill a general before the battle.
Trial What is this trying to do?
Chapter 901
Zhang He killed Chen Deng in front of the battle, which not only surprised Zhuge Liang, but also made Liu Xie breathe a sigh of relief.
Although he would not make any deals with Chen Gui, nothing is the best choice.
Chen Deng is dead, what else can Chen Gui think of.
But it also made him wary.
Under such circumstances, Shen Pei and Tian Feng still dared to take the initiative to attack, and they would surely achieve such a result. The siege of Yecheng would be a tough battle in the future, and the casualties would not be small.
It might be naive to expect them to surrender.
Also, Zhang He was really good at fighting, and he managed to sneak attack Chen Deng under the noses of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.
He is worthy of being one of the five good generals, someone who can make Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang look up to him.
Zhang Fei is immature and cannot step on Zhang He to become famous, only to be stepped on by Zhang He.
"Call Huang Yi back and order the Martial Arts Hall to replay the battle and analyze the gains and losses."
"Wei." Zhuge Liang bowed and retreated.
