Chapter 424
The main general Chu Fang and the deputy general Huo Du died in battle one after another, and the Zuo army was defeated for a while. When the whole army was defeated, only Gao Xiang and his troops were still struggling to support them, and their deaths were not imminent.

As the last resistance force of the left army, Gao Xiang's Department naturally attracted Liu Bei's attention, and he led the cavalry to kill Gao Xiang's Department.

"Kill..." Guan Yu galloped on his horse, stabbing with his spear, and killed all the defenseless soldiers who were just running for their lives.

Since he fell into battle, Guan Yu has killed dozens of people with his hands. His armor was stained with the blood of the enemy, and even his lush long beard hanging down to his chest was stained red with blood. Looking from a distance, he looked like a god of death.

Guan Yu took the lead and cut through the waves all the way through the fleeing crowd, reaching Gao Xiang's front.

Gao Xiang's line of defense had already been battered by the rout of his own troops. How could such a scattered formation be able to stop the brave and invincible Guan Yu? All the enemy spears in front swung away, and then the Pegasus crashed into the enemy formation.

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun also broke into the formation from both sides, and hundreds of iron cavalry arrived at their tails, and entered the formation along the gap opened by the three of them.

Under the leadership of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, the iron cavalry rampaged through the enemy's formation, killing a lot, leaving corpses everywhere they passed.

Watching his subordinates being trampled and slaughtered by the enemy cavalry at will, Gao Xiang was filled with grief and indignation. He wanted to rush up to fight the enemy desperately, but was stopped by the left and right guards. Now rushing up is almost like sending to death.

Just when Gao Xiang was in a stalemate with his personal guards, the soldiers in front finally couldn't stand the ravages of Liu Bei's iron cavalry and collapsed.Everyone threw away their helmets and armor, and fled to the rear like a flood that burst a dike.

At a critical moment, the personal guards ignored Gao Xiang's scolding, directly set him up, and fled with him.

So far, Chu Fang was beheaded by Guan Yu, Huo Du was defeated by the rebellious army, Gao Xiang was invincible, and more than [-] soldiers of the left army were completely defeated and fled in defeat.

Liu Jing, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others on the short slope were all stunned. From Liu Bei's cavalry raid, to the infantry's participation in the battle, the Jingman's counterattack, the left army was flanked by three parties, and then collapsed. Everything happened too quickly Cai Sheng and Liu Liang, who were approaching the rear army, had no time to rescue them.

"It's dangerous..." Liu Jing stared at the collapsed left-wing battlefield, his face became extremely ugly. The defeat of the left army would directly expose the Chinese army to Liu Bei's soldiers.

What he is about to face is Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two "enemies of ten thousand people" who are brave enough to conquer the world. Two years ago, Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang among thousands of people. , It is also difficult to block Guan Yu's blow.

If Guan Yu rushed to his command, the consequences would be unimaginable. Liu Jing didn't care about mourning Chu Fang's death, so he urgently ordered Ma Zhou and Yu Zheng to step up their defense on the left wing.

Liu Bei was also very surprised that he was able to defeat Liu Jing's left army so quickly. The greatest contribution to this battle was none other than Guan Yu. The cavalry, infantry, and Jingman all defeated him, otherwise even if he could win, it would not be so fast.

Liu Bei looked over the densely packed, innumerable crowds of rout soldiers, and looked into the distance, only to see a group of Liu Jinghou's army with thousands of people on foot, rushing towards this side at a high speed.

Liu Bei secretly rejoiced, but he didn't expect Liu Jing to have a backhand. If he couldn't quickly defeat his left army, it would be a hard battle waiting for him.

Time was running out, Liu Bei didn't dare to delay any longer, and shouted loudly: "Blow the horn, blow the horn...go to the left...go straight to the central army and kill Liu Jing..."

"Ohh Ohh ohh……"

The deep and deep horn sounded again, echoing over the battlefield.

Hundreds of cavalry stopped chasing and killing the defeated soldiers, turned to the left, and followed Liu Bei to charge towards Liu Jingzhong's army.

Seeing the enemy cavalry coming towards him like a surging wave, Yu Zheng felt his mouth dry and his heart beating like a drum.

He and Liu Jing met in Xiangyang as a young man, and they were good friends. Later, in order to avoid disaster, he went south and joined Liu Jing. As for Zhu You, the latter is in charge of protecting the army as a child of the ancestor Guangwu.

It's just that although Yu Zheng has been in charge of the army for many years, he doesn't have much combat experience. After all, his main duty is to protect Liu Jing, so when hundreds of cavalry came to kill him with the sound of wind and thunder, Yu Zheng's heart beat so fast that he almost felt suffocated. .

The Chinese soldiers under his command were also trembling. They witnessed thousands of comrades from the left army being crushed by the enemy's cavalry. Even Chu Fang, who was the champion of the three armies, died in the hands of the opponent. How could they not be afraid?They would rather fight the Jingzhou army for a hundred rounds than face these northern tigers and wolves.

However, those who can be selected into the Chinese army are all elites. In addition, Liu Jing and Zhuge Liang ruled the army according to the law. Therefore, even though the soldiers of the Chinese army have their own intentions, they are well-organized and silent.

"Boom... boom..."

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun each led a team of cavalry, galloping forward in a sharp formation, which looked like a "trident" if viewed from the air.

Liu Jing's left army had a scattered formation before, so Liu Bei formed a horizontal formation of hundreds of people to attack it, but Liu Jingzhong's army formation was well-organized, so he could no longer use a horizontal formation, but a sharp formation like a sharp cone.

Yu Zheng took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down his nervous mood, pointed his saber forward, and roared: "Crossbow..."

When the Chinese soldiers heard the order, they started to move suddenly, with their arms stretched forward and their knees stretched behind them. There were longbows on both sides. The soldiers each drew their bows and crossbows to the strings, and aimed their arrow clusters at the enemy cavalry.

"Shoot..." Yu Zheng swung his knife fiercely.

In an instant, hundreds of crossbow arrows flew out of the formation and shot at the "Trident". Liu Bei's cavalry rushed to the front and were swept down by the dense arrow rain one after another. Liu Jingjun did not give Liu Bei's cavalry a chance to breathe. , The third wave of arrow rain followed.

Liu Bei's cavalrymen leaned on their horses, holding their swords and spears tightly in their hands. After resisting several rounds of arrow rain, they finally rushed to the front of Liu Jingzhong's army. Three meteors smashed into the calm and calm sea, and suddenly aroused huge waves.

Although the "Trident" broke through the formation of the Chinese army, the formation was not in chaos. Yu Zhengju commanded the soldiers in the middle and chased and intercepted the three Liu Bei cavalry, but the effect was not satisfactory.

There is no way, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun are all superhumanly brave, and the cavalry they lead are also Youzhou Han and Hu warriors. The soldiers of the Chinese army can keep their formation intact under their assault, which is enough to be proud of.

At the time of the bloody battle between Zheng and Liu Bei's cavalry, Ma Zhou limped down from the low slope and walked into a densely arrayed army formation with banners and armor and dazzling light.

Ma Zhou was limping, walking with a stick, and stopped when he came to the center of the formation. The guards behind him hurriedly took the bed and placed it under Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhou sat on the Hu bed, put his saber across his knees, closed his eyes and meditated.
