Chapter 313: The Battle of Zitong Water (5)
Chapter 313: Battle of Zitong Water (V)
On the sixth day of the sixth month of the 20th year of Qianyuan, the Qin army camp on the north bank of the Zitong River was silent. Chang Yuchun, Guan Yu led 20,000 elite Deng army soldiers to lurk in the dense forest not far from the Qin army camp.
"General, the guards of the Qin army camp seem to have decreased." At this time, the sharp-eyed Guan Yu found that the guards at the camp gate seemed to have decreased, and immediately told Chang Yuchun.
Hearing Guan Yu's words, Chang Yuchun, who was originally sleeping, opened his eyes and looked at the Qin army camp. He found that the Qin army guards had really decreased. Chang Yuchun immediately smiled and said, "The time has come. General Guan, please send the order. The entire army is ready to attack at any time."
"Here!" Guan Yu replied.
Guan Yu went down to prepare, and Chang Yuchun looked at the night sky. At this time, the moonlight, which was originally covered by the clouds, also revealed its true appearance. Chang Yuchun smiled and silently held the spear in his hand. After Guan Yu came back, he said, "What's wrong with General Guan?"
"Don't worry, General, the soldiers are all ready, just waiting for the general's order." Guan Yu replied.
Chang Yuchun nodded and said, "Okay!" After that, Chang Yuchun picked up the bow and arrow in his hand, and under the illumination of the moonlight, he shot and killed the Qin army at the camp gate with one arrow.
"ah!"
"Enemy attack!" After a Qin army fell down by an arrow, the other Qin army also reacted and shouted everywhere. Seeing this, Chang Yuchun held a spear and shouted loudly: "All the soldiers obey the orders and follow me to kill me!" After that, Chang Yuchun was the first to kill with a spear, and Guan Yu followed closely behind.
Since it was late at night, there were only a few dozen people on the Qin army camp, so the Deng army quickly broke through the camp gate and rushed in.
The huge shouts of killing also woke Wang Feng up who was sleeping. Wang Feng immediately called his personal guard and asked anxiously: "What happened outside? Where did the sound come from?"
The personal guard replied: "Return to the general, it seems that the sound is coming from the camp gate, as if calling for an enemy attack."
"What! The enemy attacked?" Wang Feng stood up from the bed and said, "Come on me quickly!" Several guards put on their armor for Wang Feng. As soon as they put on their clothes, Wang Feng picked up the long sword on the shelf and walked out, and several guards followed closely behind.
After walking out of the central army's tent, Wang Feng found that the fire in front of the camp was soaring into the sky and thought it was not good. So he said to his personal guards: "I ordered the battalions to fight immediately. If any one of them is negligent, I will want his head!"
"Here!" the personal guard responded, then went down to pass the order, and Wang Feng also led his troops to the front camp.
At this time, the Deng army had already killed the Qin army's front camp and rushed towards the central army. After breaking through the front camp, Chang Yuchun said to Guan Yu: "General Guan, you should send someone to send a signal to inform the camp, ignite the beacon, and order all troops to entangle the Qin army and not allow a Qin army to return to aid!"
"Here!" Guan Yu responded, and then ordered people to fire an arrow into the sky. Fa Zheng and Zhu Sheng, who were in the Deng army camp, also stayed up all night. Just kidding, Chang Yuchun took 20,000 elite Deng army soldiers to take risks, so they could not sleep. After seeing the signal from the north bank, Zhu Sheng hurriedly asked someone to light the beacon tower. After seeing the beacon tower, the Qin army everywhere launched an attack on the Qin army one after another.
The Qin army, which had been fighting fiercely for a day, was already very tired. Faced with the sudden attack of the Deng army, he was at a loss for a moment and could only fight blindly. No one except Geng Yue found something wrong.
Geng Yue, who had fought for a day, couldn't sleep at night. After seeing the beacon fire in the direction of the Deng army camp, he felt that something was wrong. Then, Deng army launched an attack on him, which further confirmed Geng Yue's guess, so he planned to retreat to the north bank, but how could Li Jing and Shan Xiongxin let him go? Under Li Jing's command, Shan Xiongxin, as a sharp knife, entangled Geng Yue's troops, making Geng Yue unable to advance or retreat.
At the Qin army camp, Wang Feng led his troops to the front camp, but found that the Qin army had retreated from the former camp one after another. Wang Feng took the opportunity to catch a side general and asked, "What's the situation in the front camp now? How many people are there in the Deng army?"
The side general said bloodily: "Return to the general, Deng's army suddenly attacked, the front battalion has fallen. Deng's army is coming to the central army at this moment. Deng's army has a large number of soldiers, all over the mountains and fields, and there are estimated to be tens of thousands!"
There are tens of thousands of people. Don’t he know how many people there are in Deng’s army that can be used? The Deng army outside will definitely not exceed 20,000. Wang Feng’s face looked ugly. He didn’t expect that Deng’s army was so powerful that it broke through the front camp in such a short time. So he asked the guards: “When will the troops of each battalion arrive?”
The personal guard replied: "The battalions have been notified, and it will be about a quarter of an hour before the Central Army!"
Wang Feng nodded and said, "You quickly gather the defeated soldiers here to form a formation to block the Deng army and wait for reinforcements from each battalion!" Now it is useless to go to the front battalion at this time. It is better to form a formation to defend here. As long as you block the attack of the Deng army, when the troops of each battalion arrive, Wang Feng will not believe that the Deng army can break through his 40,000 formation formation.
"Here!" The personal guard responded, then gathered the defeated soldiers in Wang Feng's name, and gathered thousands of people one after another. As soon as the army formed, Chang Yuchun and Guan Yu led their troops to kill. At this time, before the troops from the Qin army's battalions arrived, Wang Feng wanted to delay the time. He saw Wang Feng saying to Chang Yuchun: "Chang Yuchun, I know you are here, but I didn't expect you to be so brave. You will come to attack our general's camp with less than 20,000 people. It's really a whim!"
Out of inertia, Chang Yuchun originally wanted to respond to Wang Feng and get rid of him, but Guan Yu immediately discovered Wang Feng's intention and said to Chang Yuchun: "General, don't be fooled. Wang Feng is trying to delay time and wait for the support of other Qin troops."
Chang Yuchun woke up suddenly and thought that he almost fell into a trap. So he shouted to Wang Feng: "Wang Feng, don't say much. If you want to delay time and wait for support, how can I let you do what you want? The soldiers obeyed the orders and killed me, captured Wang Feng alive, promoted him to three levels, and rewarded him with a thousand gold medals!"
"Kill!" Under the temptation of the huge reward, a group of Deng army soldiers rushed towards Wang Feng like crazy. Seeing this, Wang Feng thought something was wrong and quickly sent orders to go on and retreat. Now that the reinforcements have not arrived, it is unwise to fight with Deng army.
Under the powerful offensive of the Deng army, the formation formed by thousands of Qin troops was quickly torn apart by the Deng army. The Qin army suffered heavy casualties. Wang Feng knew that he was defeated today, so he ordered the entire army to withdraw from the camp and to withdraw before talking. At the same time, he sent people to summon various Qin troops to return to the rescue.
Guan Yu found that Wang Feng wanted to escape, so he waved his long sword to kill him as soon as possible. He was brave all the way. Wherever he went, people were rolling. In the blink of an eye, dozens of Qin soldiers died under Guan Yu's sword.
Seeing this, Wang Feng was shocked. When Wang Feng thought he was about to die under Guan Yu's sword, the troops from various camps of the Qin army finally arrived and saved Wang Feng. Wang Feng was safe and ordered people to surround Guan Yu and at the same time ordered people to fight back.
Countless Qin troops besieged Guan Yu at the same time. Although Guan Yu was very brave, his fists could not match four hands. After killing dozens of Qin troops one after another, he began to lose some strength and wounds began to appear on his body.
When Chang Yuchun saw that Guan Yu was besieged by the Qin army, he was in danger. He was shocked and killed hundreds of people, rescued Guan Yu, and said intently: "General Guan, are you okay?"
Guan Yu shook his head and said, "General, the last general is fine, but now there are more and more Qin troops. What should we do?" With the reinforcements of various battalions of the Qin army, Deng's army, who was originally at the upper hand, was instantly suppressed.
Seeing this, Chang Yuchun said with a heart-warming voice: "General Guan, tonight is the best opportunity. Once you miss it, you may never find such a good opportunity again. Are you willing to follow me to kill again?"
"The last general is willing to follow the general, please give me instructions!" Guan Yu nodded and said.
"Okay!" Chang Yuchun said: "Now Wang Feng is right in front of us, so we don't care about anything and kill directly at the place where Wang Feng is. Seeing this, the rest of the Qin army will definitely retreat to protect Wang Feng. By then, you and I will use our personal courage to tear open the Qin army's formation!"
"Okay, General, listen to you!" After saying that, Guan Yu picked up the long sword again and led the people to kill Wang Feng. Chang Yuchun also killed him with a long spear.
