Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 661 Let's charge for a while

The current situation is very obvious. Zhang Liao's camp was breached by Liu Bei and Zang Ba, which actually did not have much influence on the defense of Pengcheng this time.

However, if the food, grass and supplies left by Liu Bei and Zang Ba in the main camp at the rear were destroyed by Zhang Liao, no matter how many soldiers Liu Bei and Zang Ba had, they would have to retreat. Otherwise, the soldiers would have no food to eat, so how could they return? Can fight.

"Brother, so-and-so will bring troops back to help immediately. Brother and General Zang can then lead the army to outflank them. Zhang Liao must not be allowed to leave this time!"

Guan Yu had actually realized something just now, but he only thought of this possibility after seeing clearly the situation in Zhang Liao's camp and found that Zhang Liao was not in the camp. But now he can only make up for it.

The soldiers who just came to summon the soldiers also talked about how to deal with Mi Zhu and Wu Dun who stayed behind, so Guan Yu only hoped that they could still keep their food, grass and supplies, so that the battle could continue, otherwise the battle would be useless.

Now Guan Yu just wants to rush back to support as soon as possible. As long as Zhang Liao can be delayed, Liu Bei and Zang Ba's follow-up troops can naturally encircle and wipe out Zhang Liao.

"Okay, second brother, let's go!"

Liu Bei did not hesitate, and immediately agreed to Guan Yu, and then even had someone recall Zhang Fei who had just won a big victory. Liu Bei knew very well that going back to protect his own camp at this time is the most important thing.

Zang Ba also greeted Sun Guan and Yin Li in front to withdraw their troops back, with a bit of annoyance on his face, he already regretted sending troops this time, and he has lost a lot of people so far, but he has not gained any benefits.

If the camp was attacked by Zhang Liao, they would have to withdraw their troops in despair. This time, it would be a big loss of face.

Of course, the allied forces of Liu Bei and Zang Ba, who had just won a game, withdrew in a hurry, which surprised Lu Lingqi, Chen Deng, Wei Xu, Cao Xing and others on Pengcheng.

In their view, Liu Bei and Zang Ba had just broken Zhang Liao's camp, shouldn't they go to the city gate to show off their power and persuade Lu Lingqi to open the city and surrender?

Looking at their hurried state now, it seems that they have encountered some situation, so Lu Lingqi quickly sent two teams of scouts out of the city quietly, and followed Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army to check the situation.

Now turn your attention to the camp of Liu Bei and Zang Ba. At this moment, the camp that can accommodate tens of thousands of people is already on fire, and in the direction of the core area of ​​the camp near the Sishui River, two groups of people are launching an offensive and defensive battle. .

This is where Liu Bei and Zang Ba's coalition forces store grain, grass, and materials. It is close to the Sishui River and is separated from other areas of the camp. The land is about two to three thousand square meters.

Mi Zhu and Wu Dun brought two or three thousand soldiers left behind by Liu Bei and Zang Ba, plus more than 3000 auxiliary soldiers, with the help of various carriages and trolleys that originally transported grain, grass and supplies, and surrounded the storage area outside the warehouse. The wall has become a simple obstacle wall with a width of five or six steps close to the Sishui River.

This is quite a way for merchants to deal with thieves, and it is also a method that Mi Zhu, a big businessman, is good at. But he doesn't know if it can stop Zhang Liao's attack. He just hopes to delay for some time, and wait for Liu Bei to lead his troops as soon as possible. Come back for support.

After Zhang Liao led his troops to set fire to and destroyed most of the camp, he also came to this side to kill.

In order to break through the defensive formations of Mi Zhu and Wu Dun, Zhang Liao deliberately drove two or three thousand auxiliary soldiers and young men to the front, but these people were also blocked by those temporary obstacles and failed to follow Zhang Liao's wishes. Some of them broke through the formation of their own army, and fled around those obstacles one after another.

Zhang Liao and Hou Cheng led troops to kill here. Seeing the scene ahead, although they felt a little troublesome, they did not give up the attack easily. So under the archers of both sides, Zhang Liao and Hou Cheng arranged for soldiers to launch a strong attack. .

Soldiers holding large and small shields quickly rushed to the obstacles formed by various vehicles, and began to move these obstacles. However, these vehicles were basically piled together, and it was difficult to separate them for a while.

What's more, Liu Bei and Zang Ba's soldiers, under the command of Mi Zhu and Wu Dun, shot feather arrows non-stop to attack, and soon more than a hundred soldiers fell over here, but the obstacles posed by those cars were not blocked. how much to open.

Seeing this situation from the outside, Zhang Liao frowned. It has been a long time since he attacked the camp. Of course, Zhang Liao was worried that Liu Bei and Zang Ba's troops would come back to support them.

Zhang Liao knew that he didn't have much time to waste, but it was really difficult to break through the last area in front of him.

"Wen Yuan, this is not going to work. If Liu Bei and Zang Ba come back with their troops, we will be besieged here!"

Hou Cheng was also a little worried. Although Zhang Liao had already sent cavalry to serve as scouts in the direction of Pengcheng, if Liu Bei and Zang Ba led troops back to help, the scouts would send back messages in time, and they could respond in advance, but it was still a bit of a problem after all. dangerous.

Besides, the camps of Liu Bei and Zang Ba have basically been destroyed now, and their attack has been considered a success, so there is no need to continue to stay here.

"Then Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army supplies are here. If the supplies can be destroyed, Liu Bei and Zang Ba will be defeated without a fight. Let's try again!"

Zhang Liao said somewhat unwillingly, if he could successfully destroy the food and grass of Liu Bei and Zang Ba's coalition this time, he would be able to repel Liu Bei and Zang Ba's coalition alone without Zhu Wei's support.

In Zhang Liao's view, this is the moment to show his ability. Only when he shows his ability can he be valued by Zhu Wei and entrusted with important tasks.

Zhang Liao also heard that Zhu Wei employs eclectic people and doesn't care about your background at all, but only depends on your actual ability. When he was in Jingzhou, Zhu Wei directly promoted Wei Yan, Gan Ning, and Huang Zhong, who were not well-known, as sole masters. The real power leader of the first army.

And Zhang Liao claimed that he was not a talentless person. If he could show his ability, maybe he would be valued by Zhu Wei, and he would have the opportunity to control the army alone and become a powerful general.

For a military commander, he can have a future if he can have the military power and be valued and used. Otherwise, he will always be trapped in a square inch, with little chance to be rewarded for his meritorious service.

In fact, Zhang Liao suggested to join Zhu Wei before, because he knew Zhu Wei's kindness, so he would be envious. He knew that if he would vote for Yuan Shao, based on his familiarity with Yuan Shao, it would be impossible for him to come from such a poor family. Yuan Shao valued it, and it is impossible to have the opportunity to control the military power.

Therefore, this time Zhang Liao managed to seize an opportunity. As long as he could destroy the food and grass of Liu Bei and Zang Ba's coalition forces, it would mean that he alone repelled Liu Bei and Zang Ba's two armies. This ability will definitely be valued by Zhu Wei.

It's just that although Zhang Liao wanted to make meritorious service, he still felt a little headache when he saw the defensive formation set up by Mi Zhu and Wu Dun in front of him and the obstacles surrounded by various cars.

Zhang Liao couldn't help regretting that he shouldn't have wasted too much time on burning the camp. He could have allocated a part of his troops to destroy the camp, and he himself should have led troops to attack here as soon as possible.

In that case, Mi Zhu and Wu Dun would not have time to prepare, so naturally they wouldn't be blocked by those cars like they are now, and couldn't get in.

Zhang Liao also knew that what Hou Cheng said was right, he had to evacuate before Liu Bei and Zang Ba's allied forces came back to support them, otherwise he would be buried here this time, so after thinking about it, Zhang Liao said coldly...
