Chapter 428 Breakthrough
Pang Tong also persuaded: "'The bend of the inchworm is to seek trust; the sting of the dragon and snake is to save oneself.' The general is the life of the three armies, and he should not put himself in danger."

Liu Jing still refused to evade, and his attitude was very firm. He didn't know the reason why a man can bend and stretch, but the current situation is not so dangerous that he needs to avoid it.

Liu Bei's cavalry, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, were the frontrunners, and they were extremely fierce, but in the end there were only a few hundred of them, and they might fall into battle, but could not defeat the enemy.The left army, which was out of line before and after the assault, and whose formation was scattered, also relied on the infantry to follow up and counterattack in the middle to defeat the left army in one fell swoop.

Now Liu Bei's infantry was intercepted by the cavalry led by Cai Sheng and Liu Liang, and fell into chaos, unable to take care of themselves.

The Chinese army was well-armored and well-organized, and Liu Bei had to pay a huge price to break through Yu Zheng's position with only a few hundred cavalry. How easy is it to break through Ma Zhou's position?Even if the breakthrough is successful, how many people are left?

There are still hundreds of halberds and spears on Liu Jing's left and right, hundreds of crossbows, and they are on a low slope. Liu Bei can only attack with his horse on his back. He wants to break through the heavy guards and threaten Liu Jing. The probability of success can be said negligible.

At this time, the [-] infantry of the rear army and thousands of people who were withdrawn from the front line were rushing forward. Together with the Chinese army, the number exceeded [-]. The three parties were about to complete the encirclement of Liu Bei's army and wipe out Liu Bei's army. It's a matter of time.

Thanks to Liu Jing's attention to Liu Bei, he set aside a sufficient reserve team before the war, so that he could still remain invincible when he was attacked by Liu Bei, so now he looks dangerous, but in fact he is as stable as Mount Tai.

Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, and Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong advised him to avoid it temporarily because they were afraid of what might happen.After all, if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, he should try his best to avoid it.

Seeing that Liu Jing was unmoved and insisted on refusing to leave, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong could only shake their heads and give up. Then the two turned their attention back to the Chinese army's position. After watching for a while, they were determined...

Liu Bei's cavalry seemed to be unstoppable, but in fact, they were nearly half lost in the continuous battle. They were exhausted, and they bumped into the heavily guarded cavalry, and suddenly fell into a quagmire.

Wearing heavy armor and holding spears, the soldiers of the Ma Zhou tribe stood in front of Liu Bei's cavalry in layers to block their charge. Instantly, spears flew on both sides, swords danced wildly, and arrows rained down.

The advantage of the cavalry lies in its mobility and impact. Once the cavalry loses speed and is forced to fight hand-to-hand with the armored and sharp-edged elite infantry, it is not far from failure.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun braved the front and tried their best to charge and kill, but they were still struggling.And the deeper they went, the greater the resistance, which made them feel a little bit shaken in their extremely firm hearts.

And the person who caused all this was Ma Zhou, different from the inexperienced Yu Zheng, as the first person to join Liu Jing's family, Ma Zhou participated in almost all the battles since Liu Jing raised his army, and he can be called an experienced man. Hundred battles.

In addition, he was also the first person to lead the cavalry under Liu Jing, and he knew the advantages and disadvantages of the cavalry.Facing Liu Bei's cavalry, which was almost at the end of its strength, Ma Zhou naturally handled it with ease.

Ma Zhou was in the formation, sitting on a bed, and his command was determined. The soldiers moved according to his command flags, advancing or retreating, attacking alternately, and continued to encircle and kill Liu Bei's cavalry.

Ma Zhou's personal guard said to Ma Zhou cautiously: "Captain, this place is not safe, why not retreat to the rear for command?"

Ma Zhou's current position was only a few tens of steps away from Liu Bei's cavalry, and it was not an absolutely safe position. Once he was bullied by the enemy, Ma Zhou's legs and feet would be inconvenient, which would be bad luck.The safest way is to retreat to the rear of the position.

Hearing this, Ma Zhou raised his eyebrows, and snorted coldly: "Back to the back? Which back? The back is where the general is. Do you want me to go back to the general?"

Just as the guard was about to speak again, Ma Zhou waved his hand violently, and said decisively: "Stop talking nonsense, I'm not going anywhere, I'm just sitting here, if you get scared, go back by yourself."

The guards immediately clamped their jaws, not daring to speak again.

The worries of Ma Zhou's personal guards were not completely unreasonable. In fact, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others had noticed Ma Zhou's banner a long time ago, and they also wanted to kill Ma Zhou in their hearts. Although the distance between the two sides is only dozens of steps, to them, it is no different from a natural moat.

"Kill..." In the encirclement, Liu Bei roared with angry eyes. The spear pierced through the armor of Liu Jingjun's soldier and pierced into his chest. down.

At this time, two soldiers of Liu Jing's army rushed up. Although they didn't know that Liu Bei was the one who fell from the horse, they also knew that this person must be the enemy's general. One of them slashed at Liu Bei who was lying on the ground with a knife, and the other stabbed Liu Bei's mount with a spear. .

At a critical juncture, Liu Bei's personal guards killed Liu Jing's soldiers from the side and rescued Liu Bei. Then the personal guards helped Liu Bei who had fallen into a mess and said, "General, please ride on my horse."

Liu Bei didn't delay, and got on his horse immediately. This was not the first time he had changed horses, which showed the intensity of the battle.

The personal guards followed each other on foot, but before they had gone far, they were killed by Liu Jing's soldiers gathered on all sides. Liu Bei was also stabbed in the right shoulder by a spear and fell off his horse.

In an instant, three spears and two knives all attacked Liu Bei, and Liu Bei shouted in his heart that my life is over. When I closed my eyes and waited for death, several cavalry came galloping, and defeated Liu Jing's soldiers in an instant. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others retreated from the front.

Guan Yu said anxiously: "General, there is nothing to be done, let's go!" Seeing that Liu Bei was injured, Guan Yu reached out and grabbed Liu Bei's armor, and pulled him onto the horse with all his strength. Guard around.

It is much easier to retreat than to rush forward. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others fought their way out of Liu Jingzhong's position with all their courage.

It's just that Liu Bei's [-] cavalrymen survived in the end, and less than [-] of them survived.

However, Liu Bei's infantry was first attacked by Cai Sheng and Liu Liang's cavalry, and now Liu Jing's [-] infantry have arrived again.

Liu Bei could only abandon the infantry in great pain. He leaned on Guan Yu's back. Before leaving, he looked back at Liu Jinghuagai on the short slope in the distance, filled with anger, grief and hatred.

Seeing Liu Bei fleeing, Liu Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Liu Bei was not able to get rid of, he felt a little regretful, but Liu Jing knew that Liu Bei was not so easy to kill.He is like a little strong who can't be beaten to death. He has been wandering all his life, persevering in spite of setbacks, becoming more and more courageous as he gets frustrated. Cao Cao should have the deepest experience of this.
