Chapter 887
There is a saying that "good is the basis of misfortune, and misfortune is the basis of good fortune." Many times, good things are not necessarily good! Zhang Fei led a large army to the vicinity of the palace. The army was powerful and arrogant, and he was about to capture Yuyu City in one fell swoop.
However, at this moment, the sound of the Qin army's war drums rumbled in the night, as if overshadowed the momentum of Liu Bei's army, shaking the sky and the earth.
Zhang Fei was shocked and subconsciously strangled the big dark horse under his crotch.
He looked up at the palace, but did not see any movement of troops. He couldn't help but feel his heart moved, then raised his snake spear and shouted: "They are bluffing! Follow me!"
Then he activated the big dark horse to rush towards the palace first, and the army followed closely behind like a tide.
At this moment, a scream of arrows breaking through the air came from the surrounding houses and hills. Liu Bei's army, who was charging, was knocked down countless times before they could react, and the momentum of charge was immediately frustrated! Zhang Fei waved his snake spear and blocked the arrows that were shooting at him, roaring repeatedly.
Zhang Xingcai rode his horse to Zhang Fei and shouted anxiously: "Father, the situation is wrong! Retreat quickly!"
Zhang Fei shouted sternly: "It's a trap, why are I afraid of it!"
Then he pointed to the direction of the palace and shouted: "Everyone listens to my orders and continues to attack! He will never return!"
The drums of Liu Bei's army rumbled, and the officers and soldiers of Liu Bei could not help but burst into tears, and shouted, rushing towards the palace ahead. The army was as powerful as a tide. Although the arrows flying from all directions caused ripples in Liu Bei's army, they obviously could not stop their attack. Liu Bei's army was like a wild beast that fell into a trap but went crazy, and the movement was extraordinary.
Don’t think that this is the action taken by Zhang Fei under reckless impulse. In fact, Zhang Fei has considered it.
Although he realized that he had fallen into the ambush, he was more aware of the difference in strength between the two sides.
Although there are many defenders in the city, in Zhang Fei's eyes, the barbarian troops of Zhurong's tribe are not worth mentioning at all. The strong combat power can really pose a threat to our side is the more than 10,000 cavalry brought by Lu Bu, and tens of thousands of people on his side have entered the city. In this case, even if they are ambushed by their opponents, they cannot turn defeat into victory.
Zhang Fei believed that the ambushing of his side must be the Qin army brought by Lu Bu. As long as the Qin army was defeated in front of him, the barbarians of Zhurong's troops would inevitably collapse, and his side would win the battle.
Liu Bei's army rushed straight towards the palace ahead like a tide amid the sound of the shocking war drums, as if nothing could stop them! At this moment, the figures in front of him were shaking, but a barbarian army of thousands of people were blocking Liu Bei's army under the leadership of the general Kunmu! Although the nearly ten thousand barbarian army was wearing the armor of the Qin army, the feeling that came from the depths of the soul was completely different from the real Qin army. It made people see at a glance that they were either the real Qin army or the local barbarian army! Nearly ten thousand barbarian army quickly formed a formation under Kunmu's order, with a shield hand and a spearman
In front, the crossbowman was behind him and made loud shouts, as if he was ready to fight! These barbarians could quickly form a battle formation for the Central Plains army, which shows that Zhang Liao's training for them has been quite effective over the past period of time! Zhang Fei jumped up to the horse, and the violent blood in his heart boiled, holding up the Snake Spear and roared loudly! Liu Bei's soldiers couldn't help but shout, rushing straight towards the barbarian defense line in front of him like a tiger coming out of a cage! Kun Mu saw that the opponent had rushed to the front, immediately waved his spear and shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"
The crossbowman who had been ready to go immediately fired the arrow, and only heard a loud noise from Weng, and then a dense roar came from the air. Then, countless arrows fell into Liu Bei's army like a heavy rain, killing Liu Bei's officers and soldiers! Kunmu couldn't help but smile.
However, just as the wave of arrow rain attacks passed, he suddenly saw Liu Bei's army rushing up with a more fierce momentum, like a tiger or a wolf, surging and roaring, as if the arrow rain attack just now had no effect! Seeing that the opponent was coming fiercely, the barbarian soldiers couldn't help but feel panic and shook their entire formation! Kunmu's eyes condensed and he shouted loudly: "Stay!"
The shield-handed spearman couldn't help but hold his breath and bit his teeth. Seeing the fierce roar and rushing up, everyone couldn't help but lift his heart into his throat! In a blink of an eye, the surging waves violently crashed into the barbarian defense line, like a storm, and the barbarian defense line collapsed like a sand dike! The barbarian shield-handed spearman's defense line could not resist the fierce attack of Liu Bei's army. Almost as Liu Bei's army attacked, it was washed away! The defense line was torn apart in an instant, and the Liu Bei's army officers and soldiers made excited shouts, stepped in, and swung their swords and fiercely slashed the barbarians.
At the scene, the swords and swords were flying in the flesh and blood. The barbarian army could not resist it at all. They fell under the fierce rush of the opponent. The entire army was about to collapse! Kunmu roared and tried to stabilize the position, but the opponent's charge was extremely fierce. The barbarian army, who had been killed, could not stabilize the position at all. Finally, it completely collapsed. The defeated general fled towards the palace! Zhang Fei led his army to chase and kill until the gate of the palace! At this moment, countless rolling stones fell from the palace and rumbled down the hillside and rushed into the rushing Liu Bei's army, smashing Liu Bei's army with flesh and blood, and had to temporarily stop the charge.
The army gathered at the foot of the mountain in front of the palace and reorganized its formation.
At this time, Zhang Xingcai rode his horse to Zhang Fei and said, "Father, the enemy who ambushed us seems to have retreated into the palace.
…” Zhang Fei laughed loudly, and was so proud that he raised his snake spear and shouted: “Brothers, whoever is the first to enter the palace will be promoted to the third level and will be rewarded with a reward of 100,000 yuan!”
The officers and soldiers' eyes were bright and shouts shook the night sky, like a group of bloody beasts, obviously unable to hold back.
Zhang Fei waved the Snake Spear forward, and Liu Bei's army made a huge shout, and it spread up the hillside like a tide, rushing towards the palace! Countless rolling stones and wood poured out from the palace and smashed the Liu Bei's officers and soldiers to fly blood and blood. However, this time it could not stop Liu Bei's army's progress. Seeing that Liu Bei's officers and soldiers rushed straight to the outer wall of the palace to set up a simple cloud ladder and began to climb the palace wall! The tide of soldiers was surging, and there was advance but no retreat. The barbarians desperately threw the rolling stones and wood to shoot arrows.
Even the arrows could not stop Liu Bei's army from advancing! First, a wall was climbing onto Liu Bei's army. After a while, it seemed that the entire wall was flooding with Liu Bei's army officers and soldiers. The barbarian soldiers tried their best to resist, but the palace seemed to be on the stormy front, and they were about to be crumbling and could not hold on! A messenger rushed over anxiously, suddenly pinned his horse, and reported to Zhang Fei urgently: "No, general! The camp was attacked and he was almost unable to hold on!"
Zhang Fei was shocked.
Zhang Xingcai asked anxiously: "How many enemy troops are there, and who is the leader?"
Before he finished speaking, another officer shouted, "Oh no, General! The main force of the barbarian army suddenly appeared near the city gate and attacked our army! Our army was about to be unable to hold on!"
When Zhang Fei heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked and angry, and Zhang Xingcai finally understood that she had always felt something was wrong, and she felt that the number of enemies in front of her seemed to be limited. Now it seems that it was her side who had captured the opponent's trick.
He hurriedly said to Zhang Fei: "Father, the enemy has been planning for a long time, and even if this palace is captured, it will not be of use.
If the city gate is lost, our army will become a turtle in the jar, and the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Zhang Fei frowned and shouted: "Retreat!"
Liu Bei's army, who was attacking the palace, quickly retreated and, under Zhang Fei's leadership, ran straight towards the south gate.
Fierce fighting sounds came from afar, which made people anxious and worried.
Zhang Xingcai, who was even next to Zhang Fei, suddenly said: "Father, something is wrong. Why has the North City Gate become so quiet?"
Only then did Zhang Fei notice it, he frowned and cursed: "Gan Mu, this old man! He had the face to bargain with us before, but it was so useless!"
The army rushed to the city gate and saw that the officers and soldiers guarding the south gate were besieged by countless barbarians and their situation was in danger.
Zhang Fei glared around his eyes, let out a roar of thunder, and led his army into the battlefield.
Their army arrived and immediately attacked the barbarians and their offensive was suppressed.
Although the barbarian army was numerous, it was difficult to compete with Liu Bei's army. The scale of the war gradually tilted towards Liu Bei's army.
At this moment, Zhang Fei received another urgent report from the camp outside the city. He didn't bother to completely defeat the barbarian army near the city gate, and hurriedly led all the troops out of the city gate to help the camp.
Before the army arrived at the camp, they actually saw the entire camp sinking into flames. The majestic fire seemed to turn the night into daylight. The camp was obviously lost! Zhang Fei couldn't help but pinch the horse and widened his eyes, shouting in disbelief: "Why is it so fast?
!”
No wonder Zhang Fei felt unbelievable, because although the situation was critical before, he had many troops and horses with his camp. No matter how he defended until dawn, it would be no problem. However, he did not expect that he would fall so quickly. How could he not shock Zhang Fei? At this time, a group of dozens of cavalry rushed towards him, and the leader was Fa Zheng, who was responsible for guarding the camp.
Fa Zheng rushed straight to Zhang Fei and shouted in panic: "General, camp, camp, camp is lost!"
Zhang Fei only felt that Fa Zheng was really a waste, and he wanted to kill him. He shouted, "You have more than 10,000 troops and horses, but you can't even defend the camp! What are you doing for?"
Fa Zheng was frightened when he saw Zhang Fei's expression was not kind, and hurriedly said, "General, you know! It's all because Qiongying raided the village gate at a critical moment, which caused our entire defense line to collapse and was finally shot in by Lu Bu!" Zhang Fei glared around his eyes, as if he didn't react for a while.
At this time, Zhang Xingcai said anxiously: "Father, the situation has changed drastically. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. The entire army should retreat to Xiaguan immediately before making plans!"
After all, Zhang Fei was a famous general in battle. He immediately calmed down and urgently ordered the army to retreat to Xiaguan.
