Chapter 123 Eastern Wu (Part 1)

Zhang Tong couldn't help feeling strange when the Shu army showed signs of loosening. The Wei cavalry was cut into pieces of hundreds of cavalry by the Shu army, and had long lost its formation. All he could do was find and gather his own cavalry and wait for an opportunity to break through. The gap between infantry and cavalry was huge, but in the melee, the focus was on quantity and organization.

The Wei cavalry was cut into countless small pieces, and both in terms of quantity and organization were reduced to the lowest point. As long as the Shu army insisted on encirclement and suppression, constantly cut, surround, and kill the Wei cavalry, they would sooner or later win.

At this time, several nearby Shu troops actually divided their troops to the rear, and the pressure from Zhang Tong and others was greatly reduced.

Why is this? It happened that the Wei general Xiahou Shao led an army to rush over. Zhang Tong hurriedly asked when he saw this.

Xiahou Shao looked around and saw that there were still several cavalry besieged by the Shu army nearby, so he joined forces with the Ban to rescue him.

"Follow me to rescue the troops and break through!" Xiahou Shao kept calling Zhang Tong, but did not answer.

Zhang Tongyi looked questioning, but he still followed Xiahou Shao and rushed into a siege of Shu. The trapped Wei cavalry was exhausted. When he saw reinforcements coming, he was overjoyed. He broke out under the attack of inside and outside, and rushed to another siege.

The Shu army along the way organized the flanking killing and wounding of the cavalry teams of Xiahou Shao, Zhang Tong and others. The generals of the Wei army did not care about many, but only kept rescuing the Shu formation, gathered their own cavalry, and then broke through.

After asking many times, Xiahou Shao always talked about him. Zhang Tong suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiahou Shao's reins and shouted: "The enemy is in front of you, when the whole heart breaks the siege, why should you hide anything?"

Seeing that Zhang Tong was determined, Xiahou Shao was helpless and hesitated for a moment and finally sighed: "Pang Xiaozi led a army to join forces to buy time for us..."

"What!?" Before Xiahou Shao finished speaking, Zhang Tong shouted angrily.

"Xiahou Shao is not a person who fears death..." Zhang Tong's reaction was exactly the same as he expected, and Xiahou Shao quickly defended himself.

Zhang Tong looked cold and turned his horse, so he wanted to take his own troops back to support Pang Hui.

Xiahou Shao was also a royal family member. Although he was declining, his identity was still there. How could he withstand such a look? Xiahou Shao slapped his horse in front of him and grabbed Zhang Tong's reins.

Zhang Tong turned around and glared at Xiahou Shao with a contemptuous expression. Xiahou Shao knew that this was not the time to get angry, so he tried his best to lower his anger and said, "If there was no sacrifice, we all died here, what's the benefit of the country? I am not a terrified person, the overall situation is the most important thing!"

This sentence was sincere and Xiahou Shao was excited and tears flowed out. When Zhang Tong saw it, he wanted to have an attack, but he knew in his heart that Pang Hui was going to do so.

Although the Wei family's iron cavalry was sharp, many of them had been lost when fighting many times. Even though there were many horses in the north, a cavalry team of more than 30,000 people was not enough to be gathered.

Besides, these more than 30,000 cavalry are the essence of the Wei army's iron cavalry. If we cannot break through, the Wei State will be more difficult for subsequent combat.

"Oh...break the siege!" Zhang Tong was so nervous that he said this.

Pang Hui organized more than 2,000 cavalry around him to fight to the death and rushed towards the central army of the Shu Lord Liu Chan. His purpose was to attract all the troops of the Shu people, sacrifice themselves, and allow most of the Wei army's cavalry to survive.

The Wei cavalry was very brave throughout the journey, and Pang Hui continued to adjust the attack route in a thick and thin manner. The Shu army could not stop the Wei cavalry for a while, but was instead approached Liu Chan's central army.

The main men were all arranged to surround and intercept the Wei army on the battlefield. Although Liu Chan arranged heavy troops here, he was the weakest after being broken by Pang Hui. In panic, the general of Shu hurriedly called on the army to return to help to defend His Majesty's safety.

Pang Hui gave everything, led by example, and rushed forward. The big sword in his hand was not good at it, but without Jiang Wei, Wen Yang and other tiger generals, this sword was enough to deal with the other Shu generals.

Liu Chan watched the battle in the formation, but saw that the military officers in the Kung Fu River had been lost to more than ten people in Pang Hui's hands. Jiang Wei, Wen Yang, Liu Yin, Liao Hua and other generals all went to pursue the main infantry of Wei general Chen Ben, and there was no opponent of Pang Hui here.

Unable to stop Pang Hui, the Shu army attacked the Wei cavalry who followed Pang Hui. The Wei cavalry followed Pang Hui and rushed left and right. Although the route was unpredictable, it was a team of more than 2,000 people. Pang Hui in front led seven or eight hundred cavalry out of the Shu formation and killed Liu Chan's central army. The more than 1,000 cavalry behind were all wrapped in the formation by the Shu army and could not conflict.

"Shoot the arrow!" The general Wen Hu was in charge of commanding the Imperial Guard. Originally, Guan Yi and Zhang Zun were guarding Liu Chan, but Zhang Zun was killed and Guan Yi was seriously injured. Guan Hu, who succeeded the two, was killed by Pang Huishou, so the responsibility for protecting Liu Chan's safety was handed over to Wen Hu.

Although his martial arts are not as good as his elder brother Wen Yang, Wen Hu is also the best among martial artists. In addition, he is calm and meticulous, so he is attracted by Liu Chan.

Liu Chan's Imperial Guards had 5,000 out of 5,000, but nearly 4,000 people had been put into the battlefield. The formation of a besieging the Wei cavalry, which was very expensive. If infantry used to annihilate the Wei cavalry, the losses themselves must be very considerable. Therefore, as a reserve team, the Imperial Guards continued to join the battlefield in batches.

The bow and arrow mixed with two hundred Zhuge crossbows shot out wildly, and Pang Huihu roared and led the crowd to rush forward.

Success or failure is here!

The knight beside him intends to speed up the horse, and one of the deputy generals even blocked the mount in front of Pang Hui. All the cavalry had a thought, and only when Pang Hui rushed into the Shu formation could there be a possibility of killing the Shu Lord.

This is all that is to kill oneself and achieve one's own kindness.

Countless Wei cavalrymen stood in front of Pang Hui one after another, and Pang Hui was suppressed when he started and could not rush forward at all. Liu Chan wished he could shoot Pang Hui to death by shooting arrows. Seeing the Wei cavalry constantly covering Pang Hui, he couldn't help but start sweating. Wen Hu was calm and staring at the movements of the Wei army without any movement.

As the distance gradually approached, the crossbowman and the crossbowman quietly retreated into the array, drew out their swords and prepared for hand-to-hand combat. The seven or eight hundred Wei cavalry that charged forward, only two or three hundred people were left.

"Please move your majesty." Wenhu said to Liu Chan with a big sword, and at the same time signaled the guards to take Liu Chan to a safe place.

Liu Chan shook his head and said, "It is not my husband's responsibility to retreat when he is in battle. How can I retreat and disrupt the morale of the army as soon as I am the emperor?"

Wenhu advised: "Your Majesty's body of a thousand gold, you can't be in danger. There is a general here that can resist the Wei cavalry."

Liu Chan smiled and said, "If you can defend the enemy, I will be as stable as Mount Tai when I am facing the enemy; if you are defeated, I will be unable to escape among all the troops."

When all the generals heard this, they were brave and motivated. Wenhu no longer advised him, and secretly instructed the guards beside him to see his gestures and prepare to protect His Majesty at any time to withdraw.

The iron cavalry crashed into the Shu formation and strangled with the Imperial Guard. The Wei cavalrymen turned over and fell to the ground and still waved their spears to kill the enemy. The Shu soldiers held guns and were trampled on by the Wei cavalry, and still kept the queue unchanged.

Pang Hui was wearing a tiger roar and swung his sword to kill the crowd. Liu Chan came. Most of the imperial guards fought with the Wei cavalry and had no time to take care of Pang Hui. The remaining soldiers were determined to stop them, but they were far apart, so it was too late. There were only twenty or thirty soldiers nearby, and they were lined up to block the road.

Pang Hui led five or six cavalry to rush over and came out in front of the invincible formation. He saw Pang Hui inserting several arrows and guns on his legs, like a bloody man. The God of Wei Ruotian stared at Liu Chan without turning his eyes.

Liu Chan couldn't help but fight a cold war. There were only forty or fifty people around him, and the outcome of the fight with Pang Hui, who was red-eyed, was unknown.

The southern barbarian generals were in the third field, and Xi Jiao was in the formation at this time. Seeing this, they were wearing vine armor and dancing iron forks to fight Pang Hui on foot.

The vine armor was invulnerable to swords and guns, and the two were brave. Liu Chan felt at ease when he saw this. When he was in the third world, Xi Jiaoxian thought that even if he could not beat Pang Hui, he could still entangle him with the strength of the vine armor.

Seeing that the visitor was not good, Pang Hui glared at the tiger's eyes, and the big sword was as fast as lightning to slash at Tu Sanye! Tu Sanye laughed secretly, ignoring Pang Hui's big sword, and only stinged at Pang Hui with an iron fork. Xi Jiao on the other side was first sympathetic with Tu Sanye. He jumped to Pang Hui's horse in three or two steps, and he also stabbed him with a fork!

Pang Hui's big sword first hit Tu Sanye's shoulder. Tu Sanye was not afraid of having a vine armor to protect his body. Unexpectedly, a huge force came from his shoulder, and only a crisp sound could be heard in his ears. Half of his body lost strength. Tu Sanye actually fell to the ground and lost the strength to get up.

This sword was Pang intended to use the back of the knife to cut it. Although it did not hurt the flesh, the strong force could hurt the opponent's muscles and bones. The back of the knife contained a great force, and it bounced up on the vine armor along the recoil force, and passed by a lightning flash to slash Xi Jiaoxian on the other side.

Xi Jiao thought it was not good, and he didn't dare to learn to be big as a territorial field, so he had to retract the steel fork to stand up. However, the sword came with force, and the force speed was higher than the previous one. Xi Jiao felt that the iron fork was lighter in his hand, and the iron fork was cut off by a big knife, and then

When the neck hurts, it loses consciousness.

In one move, Wenhu, who was beating two warriors in vine armor, clenched the big knife in his hand and began to adjust his breath to prepare for the battle.

At this moment, a loud shout came, "Don't hurt my thief, Liu Lin is here!" A tiger general suddenly came from the slanting attack. It was Liu Lin who rushed back after hearing the news.

Pang Hui snorted coldly and fought with Liu Lin. Liu Lin was raising his gun to meet him without fear. After seven or eight rounds of battle, Pang Hui secretly saw that the Wei cavalry was at a disadvantage and the generals of the Shu army were chasing him back, so Pang Hui roared and slashed down with a knife!

The swords and guns intersected, which made both sides retreat. Liu Lin took the horses and secretly said he was fooled! Sure enough, Pang Hui used his strength to turn around and killed the Shu soldiers who had caught up with him.

When he severely injured the two generals of the Southern Barbarians, Pang Hui's tiger's mouth had broken. After fighting with Liu Lin for seven or eight rounds, his hands were lost.

The Shu army in the rear was still chasing after him. Pang Hui took a deep breath, lifted his big sword and rushed towards Liu Chan in the distance.

If you don’t fight at this time and you will be entangled by Liu Lin, the consequences can be imagined.

Liu Lin shouted loudly and waved his spear between Pang Hui and Liu Chan. The spear rushed out, and it was like fighting hard with Pang Hui!

Liu Chan, Wen Hu and others held their breath, and knew that life and death were known after this attack.

The two horses passed by, and Liu Lin stabbed Pang Hui with a spear on the right arm! With a "clang", Pang Hui's big sword fell to the ground. Seeing this, the king and minister of Shu Han cheered, but found that Pang Hui's momentum was not diminished. He only controlled the horse with his legs, raised the arrow with one arm, pulled the bowstring with his mouth, and aimed at Liu Chan with his archer horizontally!

"Your Majesty..." The soldiers exclaimed when they saw this, and each stepped forward to protect Liu Chan, but unfortunately it was too late.

Pang will sacrifice one arm in exchange for this fatal blow!

"Go to die!" Pang Hui opened his mouth and shouted. When the arrow flew out, the bowstring lost five or six teeth, and blood flowed out.

The fatal arrow was as fast as a meteor lightning, making it difficult to dodge. Liu Chan closed his eyes and had to die. Liu Lin on the battlefield was shocked when he saw it, so he turned around and went to assassinate Pang Hui, but unfortunately it was useless.

He closed his eyes and waited for death, but the arrow had not arrived for a long time. He heard a "dang" sound. Liu Chan opened his eyes and saw that Wenhu blocked the arrow at the critical moment. At this time, Pang Hui was also assassinated by Liu Lin on the horse. Until his death, he still stared at Liu Chan's direction and died with his eyes closed...

The king and his ministers looked at each other and were still scared. The Wei cavalry in the distance were all killed in battle at this time, and the Shu army was also seriously injured.

Wei general Chen Ben fled to Chang'an with his troops. He didn't expect that the Shu army would be prepared. Jiang Wei and Liao Hua divided their troops into two groups and then covered them. Looking at the approaching Chang'an, Shu general Liu Yin's cavalry team came around to attack the Wei army. The generals of Wei were still in panic about the catapults and had no intention of fighting, so they avoided the Shu cavalry and ran away.

Chen Ben saw that the road back to Chang'an was cut off, so he led his army to fight to the death, but found that there were only a few hundred people around him. In desperation, he also fled with the troops. Liu Yin saw that his goal was to lead the cavalry to guard the main traffic road leading to Chang'an.

The defender of Chang'an City Zheng Gong and Li Fu looked from afar as his family failed and were intercepted by the Shu cavalry. The two generals hesitated and wondered whether they would leave the city to respond.

Sima Jun was seriously injured and was just taken into the city, but he was defeated outside the city. If the Wei army could not enter Chang'an, it would be difficult to resist the Shu army with the existing more than 10,000 troops in Chang'an.

Zheng Gong gritted his teeth, so he ordered Li Fu to lead two thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry out of the city to meet Chen Ben and other armies. Li Fu took the order and led his army out of Chang'an. The cavalry under Liu Yin divided into several routes to intercept the Wei army. The troops were only more than two thousand cavalry in their headquarters, and they had to fight when they saw this.

The tactics of the Shu army were planned by Jiang Wei. With a catapult, a weapon that is enough to destroy the enemy's confidence, it naturally needs to be used on the battlefield. The Wei family's iron cavalry is sharp, so it must be a charge dominated by cavalry. The throwing distance of the catapult car is limited, and if it is close to its own position, it will inevitably be accidentally injured, so the target of the attack is the Wei infantry that falls behind.

If the infantry collapsed, they would naturally retreat to Chang'an City. If they were allowed to enter the city, then Chang'an would be difficult to conquer and this battle would have no strategic significance. Stopping the Wei army and preventing them from entering Chang'an City is the key to the battle and the ultimate goal.

In terms of cavalry, once the infantry in the rear was defeated, the cavalry was unable to whirlwind. The Shu army had limited cavalry and was mainly used to pursue infantry in the Wei State. In order to hold back the Wei family's cavalry, they could only "wrap" the Wei cavalry into their own formation regardless of casualties when the Wei cavalry charged.

This is how difficult it is for the Wei cavalry to retreat and support the infantry, and the cavalry of the Shu army can also rush to the Wei infantry without any obstacles.

Liu Yin and Li Fu fought for more than a dozen rounds, and old injuries on their bodies relapsed, and blood stains continued to ooze from their armor. When Wei general Li Fu was overjoyed, he tried hard to fight Liu Yin with both arms. The harder he fought, the more blood stains on Liu Yin's body, the wounds collapsed, and Liu Yin fell at a disadvantage.

Seeing that he could take his life in just a few moves, Li Fu raised his energy and frequently used his hands. He did not want to flank a Shu army, and the generals led by a leader flew over and assassinated countless Wei generals.

Li Fu looked closely and saw that it was Jiang Wei, the general of Shuhan. He knew that he was not Jiang Wei's opponent, and the number of Shu troops gradually increased. Li Fu was timid and did not bother to kill Liu Yin and led the army to retreat first.

Jiang Wei came to Liu Yin and saw that Liu Yin was bleeding heavily and had a pale face. He ordered the troops to quickly escort Liu Yin back to the camp, and he led the cavalry to continue pursuing Chen Ben's Wei army - taking this opportunity to eliminate the vitality of the Wei army.

Seeing that Li Fu was defeated, Zheng Gong had no intention of blame. In terms of experience and ability, Li Fu should be in charge of defense in Chang'an City. It was just because Li Fu was a surrendered general of Shu Kingdom, and Meng Da, who had followed him for many years, turned against him many times, so although the court left Li Fu here, he was just a deputy to assist him.

The Shu army won a great victory in this battle, killing the Wei army with abandoned its armor and blood flowed into a river. Liao Hua and Wen Yang led seven or eight thousand people to set up defenses around Chang'an City to block the Wei soldiers who were trying to escape into Chang'an. Jiang Wei brought the main force to chase Chen Ben's Wei army. The division of labor between the two sides was clear and each took responsibility.

Liao Hua and Wen Yang were arranging military affairs, but then thousands of Wei cavalry came, and the two generals Xiahou Shao and Zhang Tong who broke through the Shu formation were led by the two generals Xiahou Shao and Zhang Tong.

Veteran Liao Hua frowned and said nothing, and there was another shout of shouting on the flanks. A Wei army came out from nowhere to attack the Shu army. The one with the golden letter on the banner was written on the gold letter "Ma Zhao, Jin Company"!

It was Sima Zhao's army who rushed back at this critical moment!

Liao Hua said to Wen Yang: "At this point, we can only divide the troops and fight to the death!"

"I will lead a army to the old thief in Sima, and the remaining soldiers will hand over to the old general to deal with it!" Wen Yang immediately gritted his teeth and angrily looked at Sima Zhao.

"Fight to the death and never retreat!" Liao Hua shouted loudly, leading half of the army to fight Xiahou Shao and Zhang Tong's cavalry.

"Fight to the death and never retreat!" Wen Yang and Liao Hua spoke in unison, leading the remaining half of the troops to fight for Sima Zhao's army.

On one side are the cavalry of Wei, and on the other side are the princess of Wei, Jin, and either side is fighting hard. Liao Hua and Wen Yang have a heavy burden on their shoulders, and have the will of death to deal with the enemy, and they will never let the two men join the city.

The battle formation was intertwined with people and horses, and the shouts of killing were earth-shaking. The veteran general Liao Hua cheered up his spirit and fought against Xiahou Shao with a sword in his hand. The two generals bullied Liao Hua and joined forces to join them. They could not take them for more than a dozen rounds! Liao Hua's face was rosy, and every time he used a knife, he would roar, and the momentum was amazing. Xiahou Shao and Zhang Tong were unwilling to be at a disadvantage, so they each tried their best to dance their weapons.

Wen Yang took the lead, holding a gun in one hand and a whip in the other, and rushed straight into the Wei army. The generals of the Wei army were picked up by Wen Yang's gun, and countless deaths and injuries were killed and injured. Sima Zhao remembered the incident of Wen Yang leading his army to rush into the camp outside Shouchun City, and couldn't help but sweat, so he urged the three armies to step forward and kill Wen Yang.

The Wei army had the advantage in its military branches and its military strength. Liao Hua was already old and had a long battle and his strength gradually declined. Even though Wen Yang was brave, he had no way to defeat the enemy when facing the endless Wei generals. Instead, his own soldiers were injured.
