Chapter 423 Death in battle
"Liu Bei..."

Standing on the low hill, Liu Jing looked sternly at the western battlefield. As soon as the enemy cavalry appeared on the left flank, he noticed it.

This cavalry can be said to be strong and strong, with excellent armor and murderous spirit. At first glance, it is the elite cavalry of the north. There is no such elite cavalry under Liu Biao's command. Although Liu Bei's banner has not been played, Liu Jing dares to conclude that this must be Liu Bei's cavalry. soldier.

Although Liu Bei's military ability is not the top of the Three Kingdoms, he can almost rank among the second echelon. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are two "enemies of ten thousand people" under his command.

Regarding Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, to be honest, Liu Jing was still a little apprehensive. After all, with Yan Liang's bravery, he was among thousands of people, but Guan Yu broke into the battle and chopped off his head.Liu Jing is in the Chinese army, so it cannot be said that he is absolutely safe.Fortunately, he was cautious and reserved a reserve team, so he didn't let himself fall into a more dangerous situation.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong glanced at each other secretly, both of them looked dignified. As the saying goes, "A man's name is like a tree's shadow." It is definitely the enemy of one's own side.

Fortunately, Liu Biao, Liu Cong and his son were afraid of Liu Bei, so they did not hand over the army to Liu Bei's command, but used him as a surprise soldier.

If Liu Bei is the commander of the Jingzhou Army, it will be a fierce battle, and the outcome is unpredictable. As Liu Bei is a surprise soldier, the threat will be much smaller.

Liu Jingzhong's army originally had 7000 people, Wei Yan led 9000 to fight, and there were [-] left, plus [-] infantry and cavalry as a reserve, a total of [-] people, enough to deal with Liu Bei's surprise attack.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly said to Liu Jingdao: "General, the left army pursued Jingman too hard, so that the front and rear were out of line, the formation was loose and disordered, and the soldiers were unprepared. I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the surprise attack of the enemy cavalry. The most urgent thing now is to quickly adjust the rear army to support."

Before Liu Jing could respond, Zhuge Liang suggested again: "Liu Xuande's target is not the left army, but the general. The general should focus on strengthening the defense on the left side, so as not to give Liu Xuande any chance."

"What Kong Ming said is true." Liu Jing nodded repeatedly.Just as he was about to give an order, Liu Bei's cavalry had already charged the left army.

"Ohh Ohh ohh……"

The ox horn, which prevailed in the north, resounded through the land of Jingnan. The low and sad sound of the horn, like the oncoming enemy cavalry, weighed heavily on the hearts of Liu Jingjun's soldiers, making them feel extremely depressed.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

Facing the stormy cavalry charge, Liu Jingjun's hastily formed formation was defeated in an instant like paper.

The cavalry charging at full speed cannot be resisted by flesh and blood at all, even wearing armor and holding a sledgehammer, it will not help.

In Jingnan, Liu Jingjun had always used cavalry to overwhelm the enemy. Now when the soldiers of Liu Jingjun really faced the cavalry, they realized the fear and helplessness of the enemies.

The horses weighed more than a thousand (han) catties, and they galloped all the way. The impact force was unimaginable. Liu Jing's soldiers could only hold up their spears in vain, trembling, and in an instant, they were submerged by the torrent of iron cavalry.

The first platoon of cavalry swept by like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and Liu Jingjun's position seemed to have experienced a storm, and it became a mess, with corpses, weapons, flags... scattered everywhere.

When the surviving Liu Jingjun soldiers were still at a loss, the second row of cavalry came one after another, followed by the third row, and the fourth row...

Guan Yu rushed forward with his horse, and his spear in his hand turned into a dragon, wantonly devouring the lives of the enemies.Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were on the left and right of Guan Yu, both of them possessed the same undue courage, they were invincible like a tiger among a flock of sheep.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were the leaders of the army, and the three marched hand in hand. Under their leadership, the cavalry rushed all the way through Liu Jing's army, plowing three deep marks.

Liu Bei's cavalry did not attack aimlessly. Soon after Guan Yu entered the battle, he discovered Chu Fang's cover. Target.

Seeing the enemy cavalry coming straight towards him, Chu Fang sat on the horse and frowned. Just now, in order to gather his troops as soon as possible and form an array to block the enemy cavalry, he personally went to the front to supervise the battle, but instead of blocking the enemy cavalry, he fell into the trap. Dangerously, it was too late to retreat at this time.

Chu Fang sighed secretly, and took the big iron halberd from Buqu's personal guard, but as soon as Fang took the big iron halberd, he felt a great discomfort in his right shoulder.

In June, the city walls of Jiangling were washed away by rain, and Chu Fang led the crowd to enter first. As a result, Cai Mao used antlers and wooden fences as the inner wall to resist desperately.After more than two months of cultivation, his injuries are no longer serious, but if he wants to use force, he is powerless.

Chu Fang looked at the enemy general who had already rushed under his command. He had a strange appearance, and his long beard was unusually thick, hanging down on his chest.

Even if Chu Fang was at his peak, he probably wouldn't be Guan Yu's opponent, not to mention he was injured, there was absolutely no reason for him to escape, unless he abandoned the army now, maybe he could escape with his life.

However, Chu Fang would rather die in battle than to run away in despair. In the face of death, Chu Fang had no fear. He shouted: "I am Chu Fang Chu Ziping in Changsha!"

Guan Yu's phoenix eyes stared at Chu Fang who came against the trend. Although he was arrogant, his eyes were high above the top, and he looked down on people from the south, he had heard of Chu Fang's name. It is said that he was famous for his filial piety and courage. Jiang and Xiang, who were the pioneers of Sun Jian in the past, and later supported by Liu Jing, are the leading generals in Jingnan.

It's just that it's not as good as being famous when meeting, Chu Fang's figure is only average, and his appearance is not outstanding, Guan Yu couldn't help feeling a little contemptuous in his heart.

But since Chu Fang had volunteered his name, Guan Yu also responded: "I am Guan Yu Guan Yunchang from Hedong..." While speaking, Guan Yu struck left and right with a spear in his hand, and several pawns standing in front of him fell powerlessly on the ground. On the battlefield, either the head fell to the ground, or the spear pierced the chest and back.

With the last obstacle cleared away, there is no obstacle between Guan Yu and Chu Fang.

However, it was not Chu Fang who was the first to kill Guan Yu, but his bodyguard trilogy.As confidantes, they naturally knew that Chu Fang was injured, and that the enemy general was Guan Yu, the mighty general in the world. Not to mention winning, they even had very little chance of surviving, so they decided to sacrifice their lives to create opportunities for Chu Fang.

A flash of admiration flashed in Guan Yu's eyes, and he said in his heart: "I never thought that there would be so many loyal people in the barbarian land of Jingnan. And Chu Fang is worthy of his reputation for winning so many people."

But the appreciation is the appreciation, but Guan Yu was relentless. He pulled out his spears one after another, and Chu Fang's personal guards fell one by one.

Chu Fang's personal guards are basically rangers in Ling County. Because they admire his reputation, they are willing to accompany him into the mountains to observe filial piety.

"Kill!" Seeing that the people who were like brothers were slaughtered wantonly by Guan Yu like straw, Chu Fang's eyes were about to burst, and he rushed towards Guan Yu at a faster speed.

"Kill!" Guan Yu swung his spear and killed the two of them again, and then the lightning shot out, and a black light shot directly at Chu Fang's chest.

Chu Fang ignored the spearhead coming from his chest, and held the big iron halberd with both hands, from right to left, and cut across Guan Yu's neck with all his strength.

Of course Guan Yu didn't want to die with Chu Fang, so he quickly retracted his spear and intercepted the big iron halberd flying from the side.

However, when the spears and halberds collided, Guan Yu immediately felt that the opponent's strength was wrong. Chu Fang held the big iron halberds with both hands, and his strength was not as strong as his single hand, which was too unreasonable.

It's just that all of this happened in the blink of an eye, Guan Yu didn't have time to think about it, and instinctively stabbed Chu Fang's chest with his spear again, this time it was a hit.

Although the robe and armor Chu Fang is wearing is the most well-protected armor in the world today, the spear is an armor-piercing weapon, and Guan Yu's natural supernatural power, and the use of the horse's charge, easily pierced through the robe.

The huge impact force attached to the spear directly knocked Chu Fang off his horse. The spear tip was stuck in his flesh and blood, and was dragged by Guan Yu's spear. Chu Fang couldn't help struggling with blood gushing from his mouth.

All Chu Fang's personal guards wanted to come forward to rescue them, but before they could get close, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun who came from behind killed them all.

After dragging for more than ten steps, seeing that Chu Fang was silent on the ground, Guan Yu got off his horse and cut off his head, raised his head high, and shouted loudly: "I am Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang. Chu Fang has been beheaded by me, why don't you come down soon..."

Both left and right shouted loudly: "Chu Fang is dead, why don't you come down soon..."

Zhang Fei rode his horse and rushed to Chu Fang's command, drew his sword and cut off Chu Fang's flag.

From Huo Du and Gao Xiang down, Liu Jing's left army soldiers were all stunned for a moment.

Chu Fang may not be the most talented person among the generals under Liu Jing, but he is definitely the most famous person among them. Whether it is Jingnan or Jingbei, many people regard him as the No.1 general in Jingnan In Liu Jing's army, only Liu Zong could barely compete with him.

Chu Fang was not only the No.1 general in Jingnan, but also the commander-in-chief of the left army. His death in battle was like a bolt from the blue, hitting the heads of Liu Jing's left army soldiers heavily.

At this moment, three thousand infantry led by Chen Dao, Zhuo Ying, and Shi Ren finally arrived on the battlefield, and the already on the verge of collapse also regained their fighting spirit, and the three sides joined forces to attack.

Liu Jing's left army only has more than [-] people, which is far inferior to the opponent's. Now the main general has been killed, the dragons have no leader, and they are flanked by the enemy.

"Defeated, defeated... Captain, hurry up, it will be too late!" The personal guard held Huo Du's arm and urged him again and again.

Huo Du struggled to break away from his personal guards, glaring at him and said: "As the commander of the left army, Chu Zhonglang fought to the death even though his body was injured, and never retreated half a step. How could I escape?"

The personal guard said anxiously: "The whole army is defeated, and the captain does not retreat, what good is it?"

Huo Du slowly shook his head and said: "I am the deputy general of the left army appointed by the general. If I am defeated, I will not escape the guilt. If I flee without fighting, it will be an added crime. Even if the general does not kill me after the army, I will have no face show people."

Escape is not only related to him, but also to the whole family. The Huo family has completely trusted Liu Jing. above him.If because of him, the bright future of his younger brother Huo Jun is affected, he will not be redeemed in a hundred deaths, so he must not escape.

"Lieutenant..." The guard wanted to persuade him again.

Huo Du waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "I've made up my mind, so there's no need to say more."

After finishing speaking, Huo Du drew his sword out of its sheath and faced the wave of rout soldiers, only to see thousands of defeated soldiers, being chased by the enemy, rushing overwhelmingly.

"Whoever dares to retreat, die!" Huo Du roared, beheading several people with a knife, and hundreds of people behind him, all with swords and spears, slashing and killing the rout soldiers.

Huo Du's method of killing to stop the collapse was quite effective. Although many people bypassed from both sides to avoid Huo Du's interception, many people chose to turn around and fight side by side with Huo Du.

It's a pity that Huo Du's efforts were quickly wasted with the sound of horseshoes.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun rushed to the forefront, followed by hundreds of cavalry. The huge impact engulfed hundreds of Liu Jing's soldiers in an instant.

The generals of Liu Jing's left army had no fighting spirit at all, but because Huo Du used killing methods to force them, they reluctantly fought back. Therefore, under the assault of Liu Bei's cavalry, they were defeated again soon.

This time Huo Du was completely helpless, and even his own troops began to join the fleeing army. The so-called defeat was nothing more than that.

In a blink of an eye, Huo Dubu was halfway through, and there were only two or three hundred people around him.

Huo Du smiled bitterly and said to the left and right: "My brother was taken into captivity by the general, and he was greatly favored. Today, the army was defeated and had to be repaid with death. As for how you choose, it is up to you to decide."

"Wish to die with the captain!" All parts said impassionedly.Those who are still willing to stay by Huo Du's side are naturally those who are not afraid of death, and those who are afraid of death have already fled away.

"Okay!" Huo Du shouted vigorously: "Zhuer, follow me to kill the enemy..."

"Kill..." Miqu brandished his sword and spear, facing the enemy cavalry without fear.

Huo Du and his troops have put life and death aside, fought with each other, and miraculously blocked the first wave of cavalry assault, but this is the limit of what they can do. With the continuous impact of cavalry, Huo Du's troops are also fragmented, Fall apart.

"Kill..." Huo Du sideways avoided a bleeding halberd edge, and slashed at the horse's leg. The enemy cavalry rolled off the horse, and Huo Du slashed and killed him.

At this time, Huo Du was surrounded by galloping enemy cavalry, and his personal guards had already been killed or injured.

Huo Du suffered countless blows, but he survived only because of his excellent armor.

"Bang!" With a head-on ride, Huo Du was thrown flying a foot away, his back hit the ground heavily, and then his eyes went dark, and the flying horse stepped on him. Huo Du turned over to avoid it. Standing up, he rode over again, and the spearhead cut through his neck in an instant.

Huo Du staggered to the point of falling, his left hand was firmly pressing the wound on the side of his neck, and he continued to fight, but at this moment, he was exhausted, and the sword and spear fell on him like raindrops, drowning in the body of the cavalry in an instant. in the tide.
