Chapter 421 Sanying
The entire front of the Jingzhou left army collapsed. Thousands of soldiers abandoned the formation and fled to the rear. Due to the large number of people, the supervising garrison did not stop the collapse, but was defeated. The tide broke up.

It was Zhang Yun who was in command of the left army in Jingzhou. Zhang Yun looked pale and his forehead was covered with sweat when he saw the densely packed rout soldiers coming straight to the rear.

The rout is actually not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is Liu Jingjun who is following the rout. The opponent obviously intends to force the rout to attack the rear.

Zhang Yun was not convinced by Wang Wei, who was the coach of the Jingzhou army. Before that, he secretly laughed at Wang Wei for being defeated by Liu Jingqian's army. He didn't expect that his current situation was even worse.

Zhang Yun knew in his heart that the moment of life and death had come, Qing Juan's face gradually twisted into a ball, he drew his sword out of its sheath, and shouted sharply: "Anyone who dares to attack the army will be killed without mercy!"

At the same time, they sent someone to ask Wang Wei for help.

Wang Wei faced the two peerless generals Gan Ning and Huang Zhong at the same time. It is conceivable that the pressure was great. Although his troops were more powerful than Liu Jingqian's army, he was still overwhelmed and could only take a defensive position.

At this time, the situation on the left side suddenly took a turn for the worse, Wang Wei couldn't help being angry and anxious, and secretly scolded Zhang Yun for being a waste, but in his heart he cursed, so he still dispatched some troops to help Zhang Yun.

Under the leadership of Han Guang, A Pu, and Feng Xi, Liu Jingjun launched wave after wave of fierce attacks on the positions of Zhang Yun's left army. For a while, the Jingzhou army's positions were precarious. Under the crisis, Zhang Yun had to go to the front line to boost morale .

At the critical moment, reinforcements from the middle arrived in time to help Zhang Yun regain his footing.

It was a pity that Han Guang was unable to defeat the left wing of the Jingzhou army, but in terms of progress, his right army had already surpassed Gan Ning's front army, taking the lead in Liu Jing's army.

Liu Jing, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others closely watched the eastern battlefield and kept discussing countermeasures. Now the left army in Jingzhou has basically lost the ability to counterattack, and only lingering is left.

Now Liu Jing has two choices. One is to dispatch the rear army reserve team to cooperate with Han Guang's right army to encircle and wipe out the Jingzhou left army.However, the rear army reserve team is the last insurance set up by Liu Jing, and it cannot be moved lightly unless it is absolutely necessary.

The second is to let Han Guang cooperate with Gan Ning's front army to attack Jingzhou's central army from the side. This is also the safest choice at present. Liu Jing chose the second option almost without thinking.

Gan Ning's front army and Han Guang's right army originally had 5000 soldiers each. Since the start of the battle, both have suffered considerable casualties. Now there are only a few thousand left, while Jingzhou's central army still has more than [-] people.

Naturally, Liu Jing couldn't let his own side beat the crowd with a few, and decided to dispatch the Chinese army, but Pang Tong volunteered and volunteered to lead the army to fight.

Looking at Pang Tong who was eager to try, Liu Jing's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly shook his head and refused: "Shi Yuan is my left Sima. When he is planning a strategy, how can he take risks lightly?"

In history, Pang Tong led the crowd to attack the city, and died of a stray arrow in his body. A generation of talents died just like that. How dare Liu Jing let him go to the front line.

Pang Tong said solemnly: "In the past, Ma Yuan and Jia Fu were all living in the fields. They buried their heads in the scriptures. When the world was in chaos, the two of them threw their pens into the army. .”

What Pang Tong said was to be a man of both civil and military skills like Ma Yuan and Jia Fu, not a counselor like Zhang Liang and Chen Ping.

Liu Jing felt a headache, and quietly signaled Zhuge Liang with his eyes. The latter understood, and persuaded him: "Although Shi Yuan is familiar with military books and strategies, why rush to lead the army when he first joined the army? I also spent more than half a year getting familiar with it After the military service, I started to lead troops..."

Pang Tong was speechless for a moment. Zhuge Liang's talent was not inferior to him at all, and he was even better than Liu Jing. Zhuge Liang didn't have the military power from the beginning, so naturally he couldn't either.

Seeing that Pang Tong was successfully persuaded by Zhuge Liang and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​leading the army, Liu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and sent someone to summon Wei Yan, ordering him to lead [-] Chinese soldiers to the front.

Wei Yan was overjoyed to take the order, and was entrusted by Liu Jing as a confidant, guarding the left and right. I don't know how many people envied him, but Wei Yan's heart still longed to be on the battlefield, killing the enemy and making meritorious deeds.

Just as Wei Yan assembled [-] soldiers and rushed to the front line, Han Guang also received Liu Jing's order. He immediately withdrew his troops and turned to the Jingzhou Central Army as the main attack direction.

Wang Wei was already struggling with Gan Ning and Huang Zhong, but now Wei Yan and Han Guang attacked one after another.

At the same time, the Zuo Army, who had been stalemate, finally made a breakthrough.

The reason why the left army is progressing slowly is because there is a lack of strong generals like Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Han Guang, and A Pu in the formation.

Chu Fang, the commander of the left army, has the bravery of a champion, but when he attacked Jiangling before, he was wounded several times and his injuries have not yet healed.

In addition, although Jingman was impatient to fight hard, he was extremely brave and had more people than Chu Fang's left army, so he was unable to make a breakthrough for a long time.

Now that the war has been going on for a long time, the people in the middle of the river have suffered heavy casualties, and seeing that the Jingzhou army is in a bad situation, their hearts are shaken, and it is difficult to resist the onslaught of Liu Jing's army.

The Jingman's organizational strength was far inferior to that of the Han people. Once the front line was defeated, the back line also became chaotic, and there was a tendency to collapse.

As the saying goes, "I will kill you while you are sick." Chu Fang immediately commanded the left army to launch a full-scale attack, and the army was defeated immediately.

The Jingzhou Army's left, middle and right lines are all in a disadvantageous situation, and they are in danger, and their defeat is imminent.

"Trash! Trash! Trash!..." A roar like thunder echoed in the south tower of Yicheng.

The roaring man is an eight-foot-long, majestic and mighty man with a black face and beard. He is Zhang Fei, who has followed Liu Bei across the north for more than ten years and is known by the world as the "enemy of ten thousand people".

In addition to Zhang Fei, there are two other people in the city gate tower. One has hands reaching to his knees, big ears, and looks majestic;
Just as Liu Jing, Zhuge Liang, and Pang Tong guessed before the battle, Liu Bei's garrison in Fancheng was just false news deliberately released by Xiangyang to confuse Liu Jing. Liu Bei led his troops to sneak to Yicheng by land a few days ago.

Liu Biao was hit by the death of his eldest son Liu Qi and the fall of Jiangling. He was out of breath for a while, vomited blood and fell into a coma.

But the fact is that although Liu Biao was sick, it was not so serious that he could not take charge of the matter. This is undoubtedly Liu Biao's intentional false news.Only Liu Biao dared to appoint Liu Bei, and Liu Cong might not have the courage to replace him.
