The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

The reason why it was the east gate instead of other gates was because Zhu Fu considered that if he couldn't beat it, he could evacuate from the east and go to Jiaozhi County.

In fact, the direction of the south city gate is the best point to evacuate, but the south city gate is occupied by most of Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses, and it is too difficult to break through the south city gate.

After thinking about it again, Zhu Fu still didn't break out directly from the south gate, but chose the east gate which was close to the south gate.

On the east gate side, only Liu Zheng was in charge of the more than 500 soldiers left behind.

These people have already received Liu Zheng's order. Once someone in the city leaves the city, they don't have to love to fight. They retreat collectively and go to the south gate to join Liu Zheng's army.

So when the gate of the east city gate opened and the army inside suddenly rushed out of the city, Qu Chang, who was in charge of commanding the hundreds of people, immediately ordered to retreat.

At the same time, there was news of the cavalry, and Liu Zheng soon learned of the news from the East City Gate.

"Okay, sure enough, Zhu Fu can't bear the loneliness anymore, Xu Huang, form an formation and prepare to meet the enemy!"

Liu Zheng started fighting from the big tent, and Xu Huang and the two immediately walked out of the tent, and began to move towards the direction of the East City Gate, intending to meet Zhu Fu at the East City Gate.

When Liu Zheng led his army to the east gate, the east gate had already been controlled by Zhu Fu's army. The tens of thousands of troops outside the city were already in full formation, as if they were waiting for Liu Zheng's arrival.

Zhu Fu and several soldiers under his command stood at the front of the team one by one, watching Liu Zheng galloping towards him on horseback from a distance.

When Liu Zheng was about to approach Zhu Fu, he pulled the reins, reined in the horse, and stopped.

"Zhu Fu, after half a month of hiding, are you finally planning to come out?"

As soon as Liu Zheng led his people to the east gate, after seeing Zhu Fu, he immediately said something coldly to Zhu Fu.

Zhu Fu's face was unhappy, but at this time, there were tens of thousands of troops behind him as a trump card, and he was not as timid as before. Although he was still not very sure that he could deal with Liu Zheng, how many Zhu Fu still had to pretend to be calm at this time calm.

"Liu Zheng, you must take revenge for killing your father. Today, either you die or I die!"

"Okay, I've been waiting for your words for a long time. If you have the ability, you can come here. Even if I have only 1 soldiers and horses, I can't be defeated by an army of trash like you!"

Liu Zheng said while mocking the soldiers under Zhu Fu's command.

Although the soldiers felt aggrieved when they heard Liu Zheng's words, some of them who had experienced Wuyangling were still too ashamed to speak out.

They had seen how powerful Liu Zheng was, so they knew at this time that Liu Zheng had the confidence to say this.

Zhu Fu ignored Liu Zheng's words, but at this moment, he immediately turned to look at Liu Yan beside him.

Liu Yan advocated attacking, and Zhu Fu also handed over the battle to Liu Yan this time.

At this time, Liu Yan's eyes also saw Zhu Fu's body, and when Zhu Fu's gaze made contact with him, Liu Yan already understood what Zhu Fu meant.

"My lord, go to the back of the army formation as soon as possible, and leave this place to me. Once our army suffers heavy casualties, you all leave here."

Liu Yan whispered something to Zhu Fu, and then he immediately began to give orders, so that the fifty thousand troops behind him began to gather.

Under Liu Yan's command, the 5 people rushed towards Liu Zheng like a tide.

Although they were temporarily cobbled together from various counties and counties, after half a month, Liu Yan's training was more or less like a regular army.

At least, when facing a battle, they would not be too afraid, and all rushed towards Liu Zheng's army.

Among them, although some of them were veterans who had experienced the battle at Wuyangling and knew how powerful Liu Zheng was, they still followed the army and charged towards Liu Zheng's army at this time.

Seeing the soldiers and horses rushing towards him like a tide, although Liu Zheng felt a little nervous, he, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, has long lost the youthfulness he had just entered the battlefield.

Immediately he roared loudly at the army on the battlefield.

"Array!"

"drink!"

The [-] army, under Liu Zheng's order, immediately stood at the forefront of the team with three thousand swords and shields.

Immediately afterwards, the [-] spearmen also rushed up, using the phalanx to push up. At this time, the [-] army had to face the [-] army rushing from Liu Yan's side.

Although Liu Zheng's square formation seems to have no bright spots, because of Liu Zheng's coordination of arms, the square formation at this time is precisely the formation that can best display the strength of Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses.

As the Jiaozhou soldiers led by Liu Yan gradually approached, thousands of shooters from Liu Zheng's side began to shoot.

The first round of shooting quickly shot into the sky. On the Jiaozhou army side, some people raised their shields high, while some people had nothing to resist at all, so they could only charge desperately.

After all, there are only so many shields.Not every soldier has a shield in his hand.

Chapter 224 Leading by Example

Of the [-] army, the number of sword and shield soldiers is less than one-fifth of it.

Most of them are pikemen and single-handed soldiers.

These pikemen still have some combat power, but the combat power of those sword soldiers is not very good.Those who were shot by Liu Zheng's arrows immediately fell to the ground and died. A small number of those who were shot did not die, and they were unable to continue fighting, so they could only stop their charge.

Coupled with the charge of the [-] army, the number of people was too dense. Liu Zheng's arrows could hit directly without any aiming.

After three rounds of shooting, Liu Zheng's side had caused thousands of deaths and injuries to those Jiaozhou soldiers and horses.

However, compared to the [-] army, the casualties of thousands of people are nothing. Instead, these Jiaozhou soldiers rushed towards Liu Zheng's army even bloodier.

The soldiers of both sides collided together at this moment.

Liu Zheng looked at the Jiaozhou soldiers swooping over from a distance, and his blood was boiling at this moment.

For him, this is a battle of few against many, and such a battle is rarely experienced by him.

Most of the battles he fought were many against few, and very few were against many. After all, he was a Yellow Turban Army before, and the biggest characteristic of the Yellow Turban Army is that it has a large number of people.

Once encountering an opponent equal to him, the winning rate of the Yellow Turban Army is not high, but it is different now. It can be said that these soldiers and horses under his command now rarely belong to the soldiers and horses of the Yellow Turban Army, and most of them are after his reform. People and horses, these people are much stronger than the previous Yellow Turban Army.

They are all the elites he selected from the previous Yellow Turban Army. It can be said that they are the elites among the elites. Not to mention one fights ten, at least they are much stronger than the soldiers and horses under Zhu Fu's command at this time.

Therefore, when the soldiers and horses of the two sides fought, an overwhelming situation immediately appeared. Although Liu Zheng's side was at a huge disadvantage in terms of numbers, his soldiers and horses were well-trained and well-equipped in formation. , The tacit cooperation between each other can be reflected in a fight.

The sword and shield soldiers are only responsible for defense and rarely attack. The shield is in front and the body is pressed against the wooden shield inlaid with some iron blocks for firmness, which can greatly block the attacks of these Jiaozhou soldiers and horses.

Behind the shields of the sword and shield soldiers, the spearmen used the three-meter-long spears in their hands to stab out through the gap between the sword and shield hands.

Those approaching enemy soldiers were hit by the long spears that came out of these holes, pierced into the chest, and then pulled back instantly, only piercing a hole in the chest. Such a large amount of damage was almost killed by a single shot.

Coupled with the fact that the sword and shield are carried in front, the archers behind Liu Zheng can shoot unscrupulously. At this time, they only need to shoot out of the front of their own phalanx.

The battle was going on like this, and Liu Zhenghe's generals had been directing the battle.

When it was about a cup of tea kung fu.The phalanx lined up by the [-] sword shield soldiers in front of Liu Zheng was finally broken by these Jiaozhou soldiers and horses.

Liu Zheng also finally understood that it was necessary to send these soldiers and horses to the rear.

"Zhou Chao, Xu Huang, let's go together and kill these little Jiaozhou thieves!"

He has not dispatched the two thousand cavalry that Liu Zheng has been using as his trump card in the previous battles. This is mainly because the cavalry cannot be brought out until the end.

This is the trump card, and it will not be dispatched easily.

Just like Liu Zheng used to play Doudizhu in his previous life, no one can fight the two kings at the beginning.

They are all used as hole cards, used to deter opponents at the last critical moment and reverse the defeat.

This is the case at the moment, the front three thousand sword shield hands were attacked, and more than half of the sword shield hands were killed or injured.Immediately, the momentum on Liu Zheng's side began to decline, and the morale of Jiaozhou soldiers and horses rose because they broke through Liu Zheng's defense.

This situation is not what he wants to see.In order to save the momentum that started to decline, it is necessary for the cavalry to take action at this time.

When he asked Xu Huang to attack, he ordered Xu Huang to lead two thousand cavalry to attack from the flanks, like a sharp knife piercing through the army formation of Jiaozhou soldiers and horses, tearing a hole in the middle, making the front and rear Jiaozhou soldiers and horses overwhelmed and unable to convey the message to the commander. The command.

As soon as the cavalry made a move, there were bursts of horseshoes on the battlefield.

Liu Zheng charged out from the flank together with Xu Huang on a horse.He wants to lead by example, charge forward and give Zhu Fu a heavy blow.

Although Liu Zheng is no longer the little soldier he was at the beginning, there is no need for him to charge and kill the enemy by himself.But every time it comes to such a time when the two armies are at war.Liu Zheng's heart was filled with passion, and he wanted to fight on the battlefield.

He had never had a chance before, but now he found an opportunity in this battle outside Hepu City, pulled out a spear, and charged out on horseback.

Xu Huang was worried about his safety, and kept following him not far away, cooperating with him.

The galloping sound of the cavalry was like thunder. Two thousand horses galloped outside Hepu City, and the shock caused by the shock made those Jiaozhou soldiers who had never seen the power of cavalry immediately feel a little fear in their hearts, especially those who had experienced five years of fighting at the beginning. Jiaozhou soldiers in the Battle of Yangling.

As soon as he saw the cavalry appear, he immediately panicked, and his legs that kept charging forward also began to tremble and stopped.

"Cavalry! The cavalry is coming, run!"

I don't know who yelled, and someone from the Jiaozhou soldiers immediately dropped their weapons and ran back.

But at this time, only a small number of people escaped, because most people still don't know how powerful the cavalry is.

Those people were not demoralized by this small group of people, but they kept rushing towards Liu Zhengjun.

But wait until the soldiers and horses on Jiaozhou's side and the cavalry on Liu Zheng's side officially fought. After those soldiers and horses were trampled by the cavalry's hooves, they fell down in rows and were repeatedly pierced by the knights on the horses with long spears. Chest, more and more fallen soldiers.

These Jiaozhou soldiers finally realized that the cavalry is really a war machine. Fighting on the plains is simply a sweep, and it is even more massacre when facing the infantry.

In the blink of an eye, a charge of two thousand cavalry killed thousands of soldiers and horses.

The soldiers and horses on Jiaozhou's side lost nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses because of Liu Zheng's phalanx when they started to charge.

Now that the cavalry on Liu Zheng's side appeared, the morale of the soldiers in Jiaozhou plummeted, and the casualties further increased.

The morale of the natural battle is getting worse and worse.

Morale is a very mysterious thing. Once it starts to fall, it is very difficult to recover. Moreover, once soldiers and horses flee, it is like a domino, fleeing in pieces.

The army was defeated like a mountain.

Although only more than 1 of Liu Yan's [-] troops died during the battle, the rest of them were frightened by the momentum of the cavalry and dared not continue to attack.

Chapter 225 Defeating Zhu Talisman Again

Those who fled at the beginning, after they escaped, gradually began to spread the morale of throwing away their armor and armor to the entire army.

In addition, there were cavalrymen constantly rushing to kill, and soon, Jiaozhou soldiers began to flee, and soldiers continued to flee from the core battlefield.

Liu Yan stood at the back of the team, holding up his sword and yelling.

"Can't retreat! Continue to charge, and those who disobey the order will be killed!"

Angry Liu Yan saw that his troops had broken through Liu Zhengjun's first wave of defense, and he was sure of victory, but the situation suddenly changed, which made his initial ambition collapse.

But he didn't want to give up like this, so he could only use brute force to keep the fleeing soldiers.

But the soldiers, after all, there were too many people, plus they were running away in all directions, even if Liu Yan's roar could affect one or two people around him, he still couldn't let all the soldiers and horses know his anger.

The end result was that more and more people were fleeing, and in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of people retreated and fled away.

These people are all people who have not experienced much fighting, and they are all recruits. During the first battle, they encountered soldiers like Liu Zheng, so how could they not be afraid.

Not long after, only a small half of Liu Yan escaped.

Seeing Liu Yan, whose situation was over, he could only sigh in the end.Before the troops on his side were completely defeated by Liu Zheng's army, they also ran for their lives.

And the Zhu Fu behind him had already retreated to the outskirts of Hepu City when the soldiers were charging, and had already fled as soon as Liu Yan's army showed signs of defeat.

Liu Zheng used cavalry to fight these Jiaozhou soldiers and horses here. After seeing these people start to flee, he didn't take the initiative to chase them.

Firstly, he didn't have enough soldiers and horses under his command. There were more than ten thousand troops, and some of them were lost in the battle.

Although Jiaozhou lost more than 2 people in the battle, there are still 3 people who escaped. If they pursue these 3 people, there will be insufficient manpower.

Once dispersed, it will be more difficult to use less to many.

In addition, now that Liu Zheng defeated Zhu Fu's large army again, Zhu Fu's few troops suffered heavy losses again. Even if they fled back to other counties, the troops under his command would rebel.

And now Liu Zheng's men have liberated all the counties near Hepu County. In this way, it will not take much effort to occupy the entire Hepu County.

Liu Zheng needs to temporarily cultivate here in Hepu to re-consolidate his power.

Therefore, instead of rushing to order people to attack, they chose to recruit and surrender the soldiers who were still here.

Only by capturing these soldiers can Liu Zheng be able to recruit them and turn them into his own troops, so as to continue to grow himself and support war with war.

The advantage of the cavalry was manifested at this time. The horses galloped quickly, circled back to the escape route of the fleeing soldiers, and then blocked part of the escape route. Many retreating troops panicked when they saw that the escape route was blocked. up.

Then the celebrity Liu Zheng conveyed the order to surrender and not to kill. In addition to Liu Zheng's troops by the river, some of them were recruited from Cangwu County to surrender. Those soldiers who had no desire to fight could only surrender in the end.

In less than half an hour, a battle has come to an end.

Liu Zheng ordered people to count the casualties on his side, and at the same time asked those Jiaozhou troops who had surrendered to gather together and wait for the next arrangement.

After the battle outside the city was over, Liu Zheng immediately continued to attack Hepu City. In fact, by this time, attacking Hepu City was no longer difficult.

Without the guards of Zhu Fu's soldiers and horses, Hepu City is already an empty city. Liu Zheng can go there at any time, but at this time the matters on the battlefield have not been settled yet, and there is no rush to enter the city.

As the sun was setting, the battle outside Hepu City finally came to an end.

Liu Zheng also led his people and sat in the seat that Zhu Fu had taken before.
