Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1555 Each means

  Near Qixian County, in front of Zhengxi Daying Camp, the sky is full of torches, reflecting the sky in this piece of Sichuan, as if it was ignited, bright red like blood.

  Fei Qian did not choose to engage in positional warfare with Liu Bei and Guan Yu, but relied on the camp for defense.

  There are many reasons, the most basic of which is that since I have an advantage in defense on my side, why should I give it up so foolishly? Anyway, they came from a long distance, and it was cold and windy in the wild. Anyway, it was Liu Bei who exhausted the soldiers' physical strength.

  The two front left and right camps were first attacked by Liu Bei's army.

The camp on the hillside is not bad, after all, it has a certain geographical advantage, plus some traps and antlers, which caused a big blow to the attacking Liu Bei. Right-wing camp, let alone break through the line of defense.

   It is a little bit behind, and the camp on the left side of Zhengxi, which is close to the water source, is under greater pressure.

In the early stage of the battle, Liu Bei was relatively conservative and formed a relatively well-regulated formation. He carried out a tentative attack and rushed towards the camp on the left side of Zhengxi, which was close to the water source, against the arrows shot from the Zhengxi camp. . Teams of Liu Bei's archers also stepped forward to reach the range, desperately suppressing the camp, and providing cover for the soldiers on their side.

  If you want to break through the camp, the trenches and various defensive equipment in front of the camp, such as horses and antlers, must be cleaned up first, and the first wave of contention between the two sides often erupts in this area.

Liu Bei's soldiers rushed forward while their bows and arrows were shooting against Zhengxi's archers. Some directly slashed with the blades in their hands, and some put ropes on them. Several people worked together to drag, Although most of these horses and antlers standing outside the camp were nailed into the ground, they had not been stationed in the camp for a long time. On the other hand, under the cover of the dark night, although there were torches shining , but we have to guard against the rain of arrows from Liu Bei's archers. They can't care about one end and the other, so they are gradually destroyed by Liu Bei's soldiers...

Of course, Liu Bei also lost a lot of soldiers because of this. Many soldiers ran and ran, often screaming suddenly, just looking up, being shot to the ground by arrows, jumping in the light and shadow, trying to avoid random shots in the air The arrows that come are entirely based on personal luck. If you can't throw more than 15 points in one test of the twenty-sided dice, you basically have no chance to come back for a second time. You can directly get the arrow. The lunch box is over.

Fei hid in the camp of the Chinese army, watched the extent of the attack on the left and right battalions, counted the time, and then looked back at the horse camp behind him. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard the opposite of the ravine behind the stream. In the woods, a group of Liu Bei's soldiers rushed out, bent their bows and set up arrows, and shot the rocket into the horse camp behind Zhengxi Camp, causing a commotion immediately!

  Fei Qian was not surprised but delighted, he laughed and said, "Oh, it's finally here..."

The Zhengxi cavalry has a great reputation, and no one can take it lightly, so Liu Bei sent people to go around the hills, reach the other side of the stream, and then use rockets to destroy the horse camp, and then reduce the strength of the Zhengxi cavalry. The primary tactical choice.

The horse camp is hidden behind the camp of the Chinese army, with mountains on one side and streams and gullies on the other side. The only flaw is the gully on the side of the stream. Archers can shoot and kill these war horses without fear. , and don't have to worry about being attacked by melee. Therefore, these Liu Bei archers also proceeded very comfortably at the very beginning. After shooting all the ten arrows prepared in one breath across the opposite bank of the stream, they saw a lot of fires being ignited on the camp on the opposite bank. The figure swayed amidst the swaying flames. At first, I felt that General Zhengxi was nothing but mediocre, but soon I saw that although the flames were rising from the opposite bank, there were no horses galloping, let alone any cavalry. Injured in the round of raids...

The tents and fences that were ignited seemed to be burning very happily, and the flames soared into the sky, illuminating this side clearly, but I didn't see any cavalry from the West, nor did I see many other soldiers. This should have been The camp where the Zhengxi cavalry was located seemed to have become an empty camp long ago.

Chen Dao, who commanded the group of 800 archers, suddenly felt guilty. He ordered the archers to stop attacking, and then opened his eyes and searched among the ignited fires on the other side, trying to find the army on the other side. where.

   "Swipe..."

Some subtle sounds came from nowhere, mixed with the screams of fighting on the other side of the stream. Although they were not very obvious, Chen Dao didn't know why. , then screamed out in fright!

I don't know when, behind Chen Dao and the others, a large row of ferocious beasts appeared, their hair frizzed in the flames, and they were slowly approaching here. issued when the beast moves.

  Chen Dao yelled, which immediately attracted many Liu Bei's archers to turn their heads, and they were also scared out of their wits and panicked...

  Ling Jie saw that his whereabouts had been exposed, so he shouted loudly, and led the soldiers who were still wearing camouflage, raised their swords and shields, and rushed forward!

   Archers are extremely sharp at long range, but if they really face melee units, most of them will be defeated immediately. After all, there is no semicolon for extreme long-range units like Qu Yi. Therefore, when Chen Dao and the others discovered that these were not ferocious beasts, but soldiers from the west, although they were relieved of the panic of facing wild beasts, they still couldn't get rid of the fate of being defeated and defeated in a blink of an eye...

In the battle at the horse camp, Chen Dao's successful attack to the final defeat by the latent Ling Jie, as the commander-in-chief of the army, Liu Bei had no way of knowing, or in other words, under the conditions of information transmission in the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei He could only speculate on the changes in the entire battle situation based on the phenomena he saw. Therefore, when Liu Bei saw that the camp at the back camp of Zhengxi suddenly burst into flames, illuminating a small half of the sky, he couldn't help being overjoyed. When the risk of threatening the flanks was threatened, Guan Yu immediately asked Guan Yu to lead a part of the troops in the center to advance towards Zhengxi's left battalion, while he himself led the other half to attack Zhengxi's right battalion!

  The gap between elite soldiers and ordinary soldiers is vividly displayed at this moment.

Not to mention that since Fei Qian was in Bingbei, he has been obsessed with improving the equipment of the soldiers. The literacy work carried out among the lower ranks of the soldiers alone has ensured that the transmission of orders will not be attenuated, and it is even acceptable. Some more complicated instructions, just this, are already much better than most of the current princes.

The gap in knowledge leads to different levels for soldiers to accept orders, just like in the same type of strategy games, one is Dune 2, all orders must be left-clicked to select units, and then give orders in the command bar on one side, while the other One is StarCraft 2, which can be selected not only with the left and right buttons of the mouse, but also with shortcut keys and command paths on the keyboard...

When flames appeared in the camp after Zhengxi, and the burning flames illuminated the night sky, the rest of the camps in Zhengxi were inevitably affected. Under strong restraint, the panic Liu Bei wanted did not appear on the battlefield, but continued to fight according to the original deployment.

Faced with such a powerful counterattack, Liu Bei was naturally a little surprised, but he still comforted himself in his heart. He still has more important means. Zhengxi's current resistance is just the end of his strength, and everything is still under his control However, as long as Liu Li acts according to the plan, the front line that Zhengxi is currently encouraging to maintain will definitely be defeated in one fell swoop!

In Zhengxi Zuo camp, bunches of torches with tallow and pine oil shone inside and outside the camp, and the sound of soldiers fighting and shouting at each other was like a stream flowing on one side suddenly breaking its embankment. Sweeping across the camp also stirred Liu Li's eardrums.

The soldiers under Zhengxi General Fei Qian have always been well-trained. No matter it is day or night, the military law in the barracks is strict. Therefore, although Liu Li's troops are also in Zhengxi Zuoying, except for some personnel who carry out some Outside of ordinary tasks, generally speaking, there are no opportunities to gather and communicate, let alone find opportunities to destroy important equipment such as the wall.

  However, when Liu Bei's army surged in, Liu Li and the others finally found an opportunity and secretly gathered together in one place, and then all looked at Liu Li whose complexion was constantly changing in the firelight...

  The soldiers of Liu Li are very complicated. Some are Liu Li's own guards, some are veterans who have followed Liu Bei for many years, and some are recruited mercenaries who only recognize money. They are naturally used to cover Zhengxi's eyes and ears, and it is also an excuse for Liu Li to defect, and those veterans who have followed Liu Bei for many years are the most important means for Liu Bei to deliberately ambush.

  In the past two days, Liu Li quickly haggarded down, the flesh on his face disappeared, his eyes were sunken, and under the light of the torch, his gaze was faint like will-o'-the-wisps. He looked up at the three-color flag fluttering on one side, and was silent for a long time. He closed his eyes and waved his hand when the veterans of Liu Bei showed some impatient expressions...

  Amidst the uproar, Liu Li's subordinates immediately started to stir up trouble in the Zhengxi Camp, and those veterans who had followed Liu Bei for many years were naturally the ones who took the lead. The origins of these veterans are all different, some are brave men from Gaotang, some are strong men from Pingyuan, but one thing is the same, they all feel that they have received Liu Bei's kindness under Liu Bei, and now, it is to repay the kindness when!

As for the recruited recruits, they didn't have much brain juice in their heads, but now seeing this situation, their minds became more and more confused, and they followed these Liu Bei veterans in a daze, walking a few steps to look at each other , and then take a few steps to take a look again. Some followed Liu Bei veterans and threw torches into the tents, while others felt that something was wrong, and then silently burrowed into the shadows where the firelight could not shine to take advantage of the chaos. ran away…

   Liu Li mobilized from the camp, and suddenly there was chaos inside the Zhengxi Left Camp.

Guan Yu, who was stepping up his attack on Zhengxi Zuoying, was overjoyed immediately. Under the order, he took his soldiers and divided them into three groups. After Guan Ping, with an almost crazy momentum, he marched towards the left side of Zhengxi. The battalion stormed over.

During the previous skirmish, most of the obstacles outside Zhengxi Zuoying had been cleared away. The only thing that hadn't been completely destroyed was a ditch that diverted the water from the river before the camp, but because of the winter The soil is hard, and it didn't take much time to excavate this ditch. Therefore, although the width is sufficient, the depth is not enough. Even though there is water in the middle of the ditch, there is no straight up and down soil wall on both sides of the ditch. After recklessly ordering the onslaught, the ditch was quickly filled with flesh and blood by soldiers frantically pouring in!

  These soldiers rushed forward with shouts, and some of them were more or less carrying planks and ladders, ready to cross the creek, but more people were just holding weapons, ready to climb up the creek like this. The earth walls on the inside of the ditch have not been completely repaired either. They are high and low, and there are even gaps that have not been completely closed. It seems that as long as you climb up the ditch, you can rush through these gaps and go straight to the left side of Zhengxi. camp!

  Amidst the continuous "plopping" sounds, the soldiers of Commander Guan Yu rushed down the ditch and trench before Zhengxi Zuoying, and huddled together in the mud at the bottom of the ditch. The people in the front were desperately digging the earth on the wall, preparing to make the **** more gentle so that they could climb up along it, while those in the back pushed forward recklessly, trying to get out of the muddy water predicament as soon as possible.

There are more and more soldiers crowded in the ditch, no matter on the side of the ditch or inside the ditch, they are all crowded together, and some people can't stand on it, so they are pushed down. Before he had time to get up, he was immediately stepped on by the soles of other people's feet. Even the screams were too late to complete, and even the faceless one was crushed in the muddy water, and countless feet stepped on it one after another...

   Just when the chaos reached its peak, Liao Hua, who was still standing on the wall of Zhengxi Zuoying, shouted loudly: "Pour kerosene! Set fire!"

The black clay pot was thrown out from the camp and smashed into the ditch, on the heads of the soldiers of Commander Guan Yu who were congested. When it was broken, sticky kerosene scattered and stained the ditch. , It was also contaminated by these soldiers who were still pushing forward frantically!

A dozen or twenty torches were thrown out along with the kerosene pots. Although some soldiers who conquered the west were shot by Liu Bei's archers outside the wall and fell down with screams, there were still many soldiers. The torch fell, and suddenly there was a bang, and the flames rose into the sky!

   Liu Bei's soldiers, who were crowded near the trench, were suddenly under the flames, and let out inhuman screams!

  The soaring fire made the whole space seem to be distorted and shaken, burning on the ground! Burn on the water! Burn in the flesh! Burns wherever it comes into contact with fire oil!

The soldiers following closely behind stopped in a hurry, but the crowded queue was so easy to stop. There were a few unlucky guys who were forced into the fire of the ditch by the soldiers behind. Amidst the screams, it turned into pieces of dancing black charcoal!

  Guan Yu and Guan Ping looked at each other, and found that each other's face was a little pale...

  Guan Yu is still relatively far behind, and Guan Ping is really only twenty or thirty steps away from the trench.

   I can't even imagine it!

In the west left camp, Liao Hua saw that the fire had temporarily cut off Guan Yu's offensive momentum outside the camp, and immediately ordered all the soldiers to turn around, descended from the wall, and surrounded Liu Li's troops who were trying to break through the troops in the camp and intercepted them. go…
