Chapter 307
Cao Ren heard the shrill screams from the city, and couldn't help but feel angry and wanted to lead his army into the city to rescue his subordinates.
However, at this moment, a sudden shout came: "Cao Ren, come with his dog thief!" The sound was like thunder, which was very shocking. Cao Ren was shocked and immediately looked in the sound. He suddenly saw the terrifying Zhang Fei leading an army to circumn the city from the right to rush towards him. Cao Ren immediately rushed to fight, and the two sides fought in a regiment. Although the troops on both sides were equal, Cao's army had just escaped from the death ground and the army was in a turbulent state, while Zhang Fei led the army with a strong morale as if it was rainbow.
As soon as the two sides fought, the Cao army could not resist being killed by Zhang Fei's army, and they were regressing! Zhang Fei rode his horse to hit Cao Ren, and the two sides fought a big battle. Cao Ren and Zhang Fei fought for more than ten moves and felt embarrassed and could not resist. They quickly turned their heads and fled into their own army! Zhang Fei roared and chased them relentlessly, wielding the snake spear, knocking the Cao army officers and soldiers in front of them out one after another, like an angry giant bear storming unscrupulously among the crowd!
The Cao army finally could not resist Zhang Fei's fierce attack. They were defeated and turned around to escape. Zhang Fei's army roared and chased, killing Cao's army only felt that there was no way out of heaven and no way to the ground!
At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the front: "Zhang Fei should not be rampant! Li Dian is here!" When the Cao army officers and soldiers who were fleeing in a hurry heard this roar, everyone was overjoyed! Li Dian led more than 20,000 troops and horses to come towards him, and suddenly resisted Zhang Fei's army and started a battle!
Cao Ren held down his war horse and shouted loudly: "Brothers, kill Zhang Fei to take revenge!!" The morale of the Cao army officers and soldiers was greatly boosted, and they stopped escaping and turned to counter Zhang Fei's army. Zhang Fei's army had only more than 10,000 troops, and then he fell into the siege of three times the enemy's army. The situation immediately took a sharp turn. Zhang Fei waved the Snake Spear to kill Cao's officers and soldiers. However, the Cao army officers and soldiers seemed to be ineffective, but they killed more and more. Later, Zhang Fei felt a little overwhelmed! Cao Ren urged the army to rush and kill fiercely. Today, the anger of the ambush was vented on Zhang Fei's army. Everyone attacked desperately and vowed to kill Zhang Fei's whole body!
However, at this moment, a huge war drum sounded suddenly on the city gate tower in Xiangyang. Cao Ren was stunned and quickly looked at the city gate, but did not see half of the enemy. Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound like a tide suddenly came from the north! Cao Ren hurriedly looked in the sound and saw a huge enemy army sweeping from the north. The leading general roared loudly: "I am the general Wei Yan! Cao Ren, you have been trapped!" The Cao army officers and soldiers suddenly saw another enemy army coming, and heard the roar of the other party, and immediately became panicked.
Wei Yan led a 20,000 army and violently crashed into the middle of the Cao army like a tide. Cao army was caught off guard and was suddenly chaotic by Wei Yan's army! Zhang Fei laughed and shouted: "Wei Yan, you are at the right time!" Then he shouted at his subordinates: "Brothers, kill with me!" Then he activated his war horses to kill the Cao army first, wielding the snake spear and killing them, killing the Cao army officers and soldiers who were rushing over the horse and rushing the corpse and blood! His subordinates also waved swords and guns to counterattack wildly, and soon impulsed the Cao army's formation, and then rushed the Cao army into pieces!
The Cao army could no longer resist the defeat and retreated towards the camp. Zhang Fei and Wei Yan led their troops to chase and attack the camp. The Cao army officers and soldiers relied on the camp to fight to the death! The fierce battle continued, and the officers and soldiers of both sides continued to fall in pools of blood! The situation at this time was already very unfavorable to the Cao army. Although the Cao army officers and soldiers tried their best to resist, they seemed to be blocking the dam of the surging flood, and they were about to be shaking! Zhang Fei and Wei Yan saw that the victory was right in front of them, and kept calling for their subordinates to attack, and Liu Bei's army's offensive became more and more fierce!
However, just as Zhang Fei and Wei Yan were about to break through Cao's camp in one fell swoop, Liu Bei's courier came and said anxiously: "Three Generals, the lord and the military advisor ordered the lord and the general Wei to return to Xiangyang immediately!" Zhang Fei was stunned and asked angrily: "Is it Wen Pin who came to attack Xiangyang?" "That's right, Wen Pin was out and attacking Dongcheng Gate. The lord and the military advisor were worried that Xiangyang would be in trouble, so he ordered the throne and the general Wei to stop the attack immediately and lead the army back to Xiangyang! Now the war is in tight at the east gate. I also ask the two generals to lead the army back to Xiangyang to help the battle immediately!"
Wei Yan couldn't help but say to Zhang Fei: "There is not enough to be a good deal. I'm afraid there will be mistakes. Let's hurry back to Xiangyang!" Zhang Fei looked at the fierce battle in front of him, and saw that the officers and soldiers of the Cao army fought to the death! Although his attack was strong, it was difficult to form an effective breakthrough! Zhang Fei was very angry and shouted loudly: "Retreat!" Liu Bei's army immediately stopped the attack and rushed back to Xiangyang. Seeing that Liu Bei's army retreated, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that they were about to exhaustion.
Zhang Fei and Wei Yan led their troops back to the city, and then felt that they were participating in the war from the east. They saw that Wen Pin's army was indeed extremely fierce! Zhang Fei was very angry when he saw this scene and immediately led his three thousand elite troops out of the city to fight back. Wen Pin's siege troops were caught off guard and their positions were in chaos. Zhang Fei led three thousand elite troops to rush across the Wen Pin's army and suddenly entered a no-man!
Seeing this, Zhuge Liang hurriedly said to Liu Bei: "Lord, Yide has disrupted the enemy's position. Hurry up and attack the whole army, and you will definitely be defeated by Wen Pin in one battle!"
Liu Bei had this idea and immediately ordered Zhuge Liang to stay in the city. He himself led Liu Feng and Bai Er soldiers to the city wall and quickly gathered more than 10,000 officers and soldiers out of the city to fight back! For a moment, Liu Bei's army had an attack of tide. Although Wen Pin's troops, who had already had a chaotic position, tried to resist, they were instantly broken through the front line by the army led by Liu Bei. Liu Bei's army had a fierce attack, killing Wen Pin's corpse and blood were accumulated and suffered heavy casualties, especially those wearing heavy armored hands.
The white-eared soldiers holding giant shields and spears broke through the enemy formation like a tiger going down the mountain and entered a land of no one. Teams of Cao soldiers were washed away. With screams, Cao soldiers fell into a pool of blood in succession! The Wenpin soldiers who faced those white-eared soldiers seemed to be like sheep facing a tiger, almost vulnerable! Seeing that the enemy was invincible and brave, Wenpin could not help but change his face and was shocked!
Seeing that the enemy's aura was fierce and unstoppable, Wen Pin saw that his defeat was determined and it was difficult to recover, he immediately led three thousand war cavalry to counterattack Liu Bei's army, and at the same time ordered the troops to retreat quickly to the camp. The three thousand war cavalry led by Wen Pin suddenly collided with Liu Bei's army and started a great battle. Liu Bei's army was full of morale, and each army attacked fiercely and killed Wen Pin's army, especially those white-eared soldiers, rushed into Wen Pin's army, protected their bodies with shields and spears, killing Wen Pin's soldiers to climb over and overturn their corpses!
Half an hour later, Wen Pin and his officers and soldiers had tried their best, but they could not resist it. The three thousand cavalry suffered heavy losses and were already defeated by their opponents! Seeing that their large troops had retreated into the camp, Wen Pin stopped fighting and immediately led the defeated generals to escape from the battle and fled! Liu Bei and Zhang Fei led their troops to chase the enemy camp and take advantage of the situation to attack the camp! Wen Pin led his army to fight to the death, and the crossbowmen shot arrows desperately, knocking back Liu Bei's army's attack waves!
Zhang Fei was so arrogant that he had to attack again, but Liu Bei found that his officers and soldiers were no longer as sharp as before, and his opponent had already gained a foothold on his camp. If he continued to fight, he was afraid that the offense and defense would be unfavorable to his side. Therefore, he made a quick decision to order the army to stop attacking, and then led his army back to the city.
At this moment, Cao Ren was leading more than 10,000 troops out of the camp to support Wenpin. On the way, he heard that Liu Bei's army had stopped attacking and retreated to the city. Cao Ren gave up rushing to support Wenpin and led his army back to his camp.
Wen Pin saw Liu Bei's army retreating, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered his subordinates to count the situation of the war. Not long after, the general rushed to report to Wen Pin: "General, our army suffered more than 20,000 casualties in this battle! The casualties of each army were quite serious!" Wen Pin showed a shocked look, frowned and murmured: "I really didn't expect it! The situation of the battle turned so sharply!" Then he said in confusion: "Why did General Cao suddenly launch an attack on Xiangyang? I don't know what their casualties were?"
At this time, the scout he sent came back and clasped his fists and said, "Report to General Cao, General Cao and the others have turned their heads into danger!"
Wen Pin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this. The reason why he launched a surprise attack on Xiangyang was because he received an urgent report that Cao Ren and his men were ambushed and suffered heavy casualties. Wen Pin led his army to attack Xiangyang from the east gate, hoping to rescue Cao Ren and the others who were in trouble by striking the east and attacking the west. Now it seems that his plan has worked and has relieved the imminent crisis for Cao Ren and the others, but the price is really not small.
Wen Pin asked, "Why did General Cao Ren and others get ambushed by the enemy?" The scout said, "It was because Liu Bei sent Ma Su to surrender to General Cao, saying that he was willing to work with General Cao to seize Xiangyang. General Cao believed it and acted according to the agreed time, but he did not expect to fall into the trap of the enemy. The army was defeated miserably, and even General Cao himself almost failed to leave Xiangyang!..."
Wen Pin asked hurriedly: "What is the loss of General Cao?"
The scout said, "General Cao's troops suffered heavy casualties, and there are currently less than 40,000 troops left in the battalion!" Wen Pin was shocked. He then thought, "Although our army's total strength is still excess of the enemy, it has suffered consecutive setbacks and suffered heavy losses, and its morale has been hit. This battle may not be able to continue!" Then he said to the commander around him: "You should immediately rush to General Cao's camp to meet General Cao, pass the message to General Cao for me, and request to stop attacking Xiangyang, and the army retreated to Wancheng first before making plans!" The officer held his fists and ran down.
Cao Ren was furious when he received Wen Pin's suggestion and roared: "Wen Pin is so timid? Our army is more than the enemy. It is unknown who will die in this battle!" Then he shouted at the officer sent by Wen Pin: "Go back and tell Wen Pin immediately that the plan to capture Xiangyang will not change! Ask him to prepare and attack Xiangyang City with me tomorrow morning!" The officer did not dare to say anything, and ran down with promise.
