Chapter 190: The Battlefield Changed
Chapter 190: The battlefield changes
Ding Feng fought bloody battles in the back camp, and Gan Ning in the front camp faced even greater pressure because his opponent was Zhang Fei. As the last ace in Liu Bei's hand, under the burning of the flames of revenge, Zhang Feijun's attack was crazy and fierce.
"Who retreats, I will sting his heart with a spear!" Zhang Fei stared at a pair of big round eyes and rushed to the bullfighting.
After successfully occupying the first periphery line of Ganning Camp, Zhang Fei's advancement was subjected to unusual resistance. Every trench and every tent became a place for both sides to compete for, and their casualties became increasingly serious.
"Three Generals, if we fight like this, we old brothers will all explain it here!"
"Even if you fight for one soldier and one soldier, you have to take it on me first!" Zhang Fei roared angrily.
The eldest brother Liu Bei was in charge of the formation behind him. If he fought hard this time, he could not defeat Gan Ning. Not only would Zhang Fei lose face, but more importantly, the battle situation in Shu would become uncontrollable. Although Zhang Fei was irritable, he was not a reckless person.
In the strangle of soldiers on both sides, a battle that was so cruel that no longer paid attention to any strategy and tactics was going on like fire, without a trace of opportunism. If you want to survive, use all your skills.
Jinfan Army, which has a certain advantage in individual combat, is restrained by the disadvantage of numbers and retreats step by step. If the second line of defense is lost, Gan Ning will have to retreat to the rear camp. However, the same is true for the killing sounds. Gan Ning is not sure what Ding Feng is doing now?
"Governor, the front army is gone!"
"Governor, Zuoji defense line requests support in danger!"
"Governor--."
"Tell the Zuo Army Sima that there are no reinforcements. If he dies, I will collect his body for him." Gan Ning's hand holding the Crescent Sphur trembled slightly.
The Sima of the Left Army was a veteran who had followed Gan Ning for many years. Fortunately, he took the helm in Ba County and escaped a disaster. Before he knew it, Gan Ning's tiger eyes were wet with tears. The two thousand soldiers of the front army were the elite of the Jinfan Army. Most of them were also old soldiers brought out by Gan Ning from Ba County. Now, they are all dead!
From morning to afternoon, the sound of fighting was spread all over every corner of the battlefield. Seeing that Zhang Fei could not open the situation for a long time, Liu Bei was anxious. He rushed forward and stopped Zhang Fei who was about to rush forward and said, "Third brother, I will hand over all the Baier soldiers to you!"
"Brother, it's okay if you don't have anyone to protect you." Zhang Fei said anxiously.
Liu Bei was furious and said, "What are your mother-in-law doing at this time? If you lose this battle, you and I will not even have a place to settle down. What else can you and I talk about?"
The Baier Soldier was a personal guard unit formed by Liu Bei after his failure in Xuzhou. Its form is not much different from Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Gao Chong's Guard Battalion. Although the number of people is not many, it is mostly elite soldiers selected from thousands of people. The addition of the Baier Soldier suddenly changed the relatively balanced situation. Under double pressure, Gan Ning's defense line was broken, Zuo Ji was completely broken, and the middle lane was also innovated.
"We finally waited for the last moment!" Looking at the enemy soldiers getting closer and closer, Gan Ning suddenly felt relaxed. He inserted the crescent halberd into the back, took out three carved feathers from the skin bag on his waist, and shot at the black-robed enemy general in the first place!
"Swoosh, swosh, swosh!" Zhang Fei rushed in front and suddenly felt a strong murderous aura attacking.
He lowered his head, and the first arrow passed through his hair tie!
The spear crossed, and the second arrow was set!
However, before Zhang Fei could make another move, the third arrow suddenly arrived.
"Be careful, Third General!" A white-eared soldier general Zuo stood in front of Zhang Fei, with blood flowing in his abdomen in the arrow, and he saw that he was not alive!
The task of the Baier Soldier is to protect Liu Bei's safety. When necessary, he must do so even if he abandons his life. Therefore, after seeing Zhang Fei in danger, the Baier Soldier rushed over without hesitation.
"Gan Ning!" Zhang Fei put down the dead soldiers, and an uncontrollable anger appeared in his eyes.
"Zhang Fei?" Gan Ning also saw clearly who the enemy was approaching? Although they were only meeting each other for the first time, this did not prevent them from recognizing each other.
At this time, dark clouds rolled in the sky, and a heavy rain was about to come.
Zhuge Liang also saw the entire battle situation in the back formation. He hurriedly ordered the soldiers to hit the "Advance Drum" to boost morale.
"Beat the drum and urge the battle!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of lightning fell from the sky, and then a thunder that shook the sky. Frightened by this, the soldiers who beat the drums turned the advancing drum into a retreating drum in panic.
"Dong, dongdongdong!" On the battlefield, the war drums of Liu Bei's retreating army suddenly sounded. After hearing the retreating drum, the exhausted Liu Bei soldiers were relieved and turned around and retreated one after another. No matter how Liu Bei drew his sword and killed several people in a row, he could not stop the chaotic scene.
Taking advantage of the once-in-a-lifetime chaos of Liu Bei's army, Fu Tong and Zhang Yi finally broke through the many obstacles and led 2,000 soldiers to Zuoying. Their arrival suddenly increased the morale of the desperate Jinfan Army soldiers, which was a heavy blow to the attacking Liu Bei's army.
"What's going on?" Zhuge Liang's face changed drastically.
"The military advisor was the soldiers who had just beaten the drum and were worried and beat the wrong drum beat!" The drum master replied tremblingly.
"True Qi kills me! I didn't expect that my great plan would be ruined by your hands?" Zhuge Liang was extremely angry. However, before he could recover, another soldier came to report: Gao Chong led his army to attack the camp. He was hit by heavy hammers. Zhuge Liang felt a breath of turbid air stagnant in his chest, and then his throat became sweet and blood immediately overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
What a Gao Chong, who was actually trying to make a bigger attempt while rescued. Zhuge Liang felt completely disappointed for a moment. If it weren't for God's will, how could the war drum that advances would turn into a retreat drum? If God deliberately opposes him, no matter how hard he tries, he will not be able to get rid of the failed ending!
"Military advisor, what's going on? In a moment, the Ganning camp will be taken down, and Li Yan and Fa Zheng's reinforcements will arrive soon. Wouldn't we lose all our efforts to retreat at this time?" Liu Bei pulled back and said angrily.
Zhuge Liang looked devastated. He forced himself to hold back a mouthful of blood from his throat and replied respectfully: "Just just received the reward, Gao Chong led his troops to attack the lord's camp--."
"Oh, why are the military advisors confused? If they take down Ganning Zuo Camp, what's wrong with giving up one of our empty camps to Gao Chong?" Liu Bei said inconsolably.
Just as Liu Bei was answering the questions, Gao Chong, Gan Ning and Wenpin had already attacked the collapsed Liu Bei army in a stylistic shape. After losing unified command, Zhang Fei, Wei Yan and Liu Feng had to fight each other, and the defeat was irreversible.
"Fu Tong, just hang your head at the gate of the camp!" Gao Chong said with a smile.
"Pampered Commander, there is an enemy general named Ma Zhong who came to surrender with Wei Yan's head!" Wen Pin said.
"Is Wei Yan dead?" Gao Chong said in surprise.
"I have seen the head level, there is no mistake. It is indeed Wei Yan. In addition, we also found the body by the Tuo River. Look, should we reward Ma Zhong? "Which is the reward?" Wen Pin said, and ordered his soldiers to present Wei Yan's head.
Gao Chong stared at Wei Yan's unwilling eyes, and his mood was extremely complicated for a moment. It was a pity that Wei Yan died so early with his talent. Wei Yan has always appeared as Gao Chong's strong opponent. His step-by-step forced Gao Chong to suffer setbacks. But for this reason, in Gao Chong's heart, he always respected Wei Yan. If it weren't for Wei Yan's forced that day, he wouldn't have been the same person he is today.
Now, Wei Yan is dead.
Moreover, it's worth dying.
Although he died in the battlefield, he did not die under the enemy's sword, but at the hands of his own people around him.
"Full Wei Yan's head and body into funeral and bury him well!" Gao Chong waved his hand and sighed.
"People handsome, what should I do if that Ma Zhong?" Wen Pin asked.
"Stay such a villain who is begging for honor will only cause harm. If you kill him, you will be your companion for Wei Yan!" Gao Chong said coldly. Gao Chong has never had a good impression of killing his master. Ma Zhong thought that if he invited Wei Yan's first-level surrender, he would be able to make a fortune, but he did not want to sacrifice his life instead.
"I'm afraid Wei Yan will not let Ma Zhong be by my side anymore!" Gan Ning laughed. After a bloody battle, Gan Ning seemed a little older than before, but his momentum was still the same.
This battle in July of the seventh year of Jian'an ended with Gao Chong's full victory. After Liu Bei lost generals such as Wei Yan, Liu Feng and more than 16,000 elite soldiers, he was greatly injured. In desperation, he had to lead the remaining troops to retreat to Chengdu, hoping to gather the last little manpower and financial resources in Shu and struggle to death.
Gao Chong's side, due to his military disadvantage and the omissions at the beginning of the war, this battle could only be considered a tragic victory. The Jinfan Army of Ganning was surrounded and annihilated, and more than 8,000 soldiers were killed and killed, basically losing the ability to fight again. Wenpin's Jiangling Army also suffered a considerable loss. After fighting hard with Wei Yan, no less than 2,000 people died in battle, and more than 4,000 injured.
It was no longer possible to continue the attack. Gao Chong had to organize ships to transport the injured and dead soldiers back to Jingzhou, while urgently ordered Lu Xun, who was advancing on the south route, to speed up his trip.
Gao Chong didn't know that at this time, Lu Xun was blocked by the Wuxi Barbarians in the steep mountains west of Qianling, and could not advance or retreat.
