Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 383 The Battle of Liyang
Fengji's counterattack startled Cao Jun. This man was very imposing, and several people were stabbed to death by Fengji one after another.

Zhang Xiu yelled: "Che'er. I'll leave this person to you!"

Zhang Xiu's confidant guard is also Hu Che'er, the leader of Xiliang's iron cavalry, and takes orders loudly, and rushes towards Fengji with an iron gun in his hand. The big iron gun dispatches like a poisonous snake and stabs Fengji's heart.Hu Che'er lifted Fengji's body high, and threw it into the Jizhou soldiers with a roar.Hu Che'er was originally a Hu, with great strength, and was adopted by Zhang Ji since he was a child to accompany Zhang Xiu, and he was very sincere to Zhang Xiu.

When Feng Ji died, the Jizhou soldiers became even more chaotic, less than [-]% escaped, and the rest were beheaded by Le Jin if they surrendered.This tempting enemy is also a bit too realistic, right?Zhang Xiu was even more puzzled. Is the Hebei army really so vulnerable?
"The army advances and kills to the Liyang city!"

Zhang Xiu's army chased the fleeing army, and within two miles, they spied horses to report that Lu Kuang on the left and Lu Xiang on the right had come to kill them, and they had already started fighting with Le Jinjun.

This is the elite of Yuan Jun. Zhang Xiu watched carefully and nodded in praise. This is the master of tigers and wolves. They are all big and round. At first glance, they have experienced battlefields. Zhang Xiu can even be sure that many of them are from the dead. Crawled out of the pile.Not only brave, but also able to discover Cao Jun's weak links, and specifically target Cao Jun's pain points.Looking up, Cao Jun is clearly at a disadvantage in the confrontation between the two armies ahead, and may be defeated at any time.

Cao Jun was flanked by two forces, and Le Jin, who had always been known for his willingness to give up his life, couldn't resist and led the army to be defeated. "General Zhang, Yuan Jun is coming fiercely, and our army is invincible."

Zhang Xiu was furious. He couldn't lose. If he lost, he could only let people hold their heads to see Cao Cao.I was careless, I didn't expect Yuan Tan to be willing to give up 5000 people and Feng Ji to lead his lone army deep, and now he can only fight desperately to suppress the opponent's offensive, hoping that Zhang Jaw will arrive as soon as possible.

"Can General Le Jin still fight?"

"Can fight!" Le Jin said harshly.

Zhang Xiuhu swung his spear, "Son of Xiliang, follow me to defeat the enemy!"

Two thousand Xiliang cavalry roared in unison, urging their horses to charge towards Yuan Jun.This is the only Xiliang iron cavalry left, two hundred died in the battle of Guandu, Zhang Xiuxi made up another two thousand. Twenty years have passed, and the 20-year-old strong boy is now a middle-aged man in his forties.Insufficient in vigor, experience and blood spirit are still there, and they are still not afraid of death. 20 people abruptly broke through from Yuan Jun's middle road.

Le Jin and Hu Che each led a group of troops to resist Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang. The two armies were divided and gradually lost their advantage on the field.The Lu brothers are not good at fighting. When they discovered Zhang Xiu's plan, they immediately began to gather in the middle. The Xiliang iron cavalry was under tremendous pressure. The two sides were at a stalemate. Successfully separated and annihilated the two brothers.

In this scuffle, no one dared to back down. Both sides fought their best. The Xiliang iron cavalry was killed and injured more than half, but Erlu was never allowed to join forces. The situation began to be unfavorable to Erlu.

However, when Zhang Xiu was about to attack with all his strength, Yuan Tan personally commanded 1 horsemen to kill Zhang Xiu from the middle road, and attacked Zhang Xiu from three directions. She couldn't hold back even with three heads and six arms. Seeing the Xiliang cavalry fall down one by one, Zhang Xiu's heart felt like a knife was piercing her heart. The last bit of strength left by her uncle Zhang Ji was slowly being exhausted.

"General, retreat, if you don't leave, we will all stay here!" The confidant General Hu Che'er shouted.

"Che'er, are you afraid of death?" Zhang Xiu pretended to be relaxed and said, "Come forward with me!" Zhang Xiu didn't dare to give the order to withdraw the troops, and rushed towards Yuan Jun with a tiger-headed spear.

The two armies have been fighting for two hours, all Xiliang iron cavalry were killed, Zhang Xiu did not retreat, Hu Che'er was injured in many places, and desperately protected Zhang Xiu, Le Jin was covered in blood, one against two, all in exchange for life .

Yuan Tan frowned. This embroidery is so difficult to deal with. He wanted Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to spare Le Jin and concentrate his troops to destroy Zhang Xiu. He came to report: Cao Cao's second army, Zhang Jaw is less than five miles away. .

"Mingjin, retreat!" Yuan Tan turned his horse and returned to the city.Zhang Jai's ability and skills, he has heard more than one person say that his soldiers and horses have lost the opportunity to fight Zhang Embroidery, and now there is no chance of winning Zhang Jai, it is better to accept it as soon as it is good.

Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er, and Le Jin were panting like cows, and felt that they were already a little bit out of strength. Fortunately, they survived the catastrophe. If they fought for another half an hour, maybe it would only take a stick of incense. All three of them will explain here .

Counting the men and horses, six thousand of the ten thousand pioneers were lost, and half of the remaining were injured, and none of the two thousand cavalry survived.Zhang Xiu couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, he felt distressed and relieved.Since then, another team has withdrawn from the long river of history: Feixiong Army, First Encampment, Falling Camp, Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, Old Man Battalion, Euphorbia Soldiers, and now Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

After a while, Zhang Jai led the troops to arrive, and couldn't help sighing when he saw the battlefield after the fight, it was so tragic, there were corpses, stumps and broken arms everywhere, and the ground was stained red with blood, no less than the battle of Guandu.

After counting the casualties, it was found that there were also seven or eight thousand Yuan Jun's corpses, and the casualties of the two armies were roughly equal.But Zhang Xiu told Zhang Jaw that four or five thousand of them were old, weak, sick and disabled led by Feng Ji.In other words, the elites of Jizhou or Qingzhou lost only 4000 people, and the ratio of the elite battle losses of both sides turned out to be four to six!There are also two thousand iron cavalry. Although there is a reason why Yuan Tan has the upper hand in the army, the gap is too great.

Zhang Jaw took a deep breath, the smell of blood mixed in the air.Li Yang is not easy to fight!
After a brief discussion, Zhang Xiu rested in place, and Zhang Ja led the army to advance steadily to Liyang City, waiting for Cao Cao's army.

A day later, Cao Cao came.After hearing the battle report, he praised Zhang Xiu greatly: Although his troops were damaged, he repelled Yuan Tan and boosted the morale of the army, and Zhang Xiu's panic gradually calmed down.

Cao Cao was hesitant about how to attack Liyang. He had hoped that Yuan Shao's death would cause confusion among the soldiers in Hebei.If you insist on attacking the city, you will suffer heavy losses.He ordered to suspend the attack, waiting for the news of Zhou Cang's attack on Qingzhou, and hoped that Yuan Tan would divide his troops to rescue Qingzhou after receiving the information that Qingzhou was attacked.

Xin Ping rushed all the way to Xuzhou before Cao Cao's messenger, and hurried to see Zhou Cang: "Emissary Zhou, now that Cao Cao is leading the army to attack Liyang, and the envoy has agreed to form an alliance with General Yuan Tan, should we send troops to help?"

"Don't worry, sir, I will find a way to get Cao Cao to retreat. Please reply to General Yuan Tan so you can rest assured." Zhou Cang said, "General, please manage Qingzhou with peace of mind, keep Liyang firmly, and ensure Hebei. Please also tell General Yuan Tan, I will Ask him to be the chariot general. Now that the great general is gone, how can the eldest son only serve as the former general?"
