Chapter 390 Breaking the Door
The battle in Xi'e was much more fierce than Zhang Liao expected. Zhang Fei's army had been defeated, but Chen Dao relied on his five thousand elites to block the fierce attacks of the Guanzhong Army again and again.
"These are not like Jingzhou soldiers, but more like the elites of the Central Plains." In Zhang Liao's commander's tent, Zhang Liao discussed the war with the generals. He had fought against the Jingzhou army not once or twice, and he knew the combat power of the Jingzhou army.
, the soldiers and horses that stopped them in front of them, whether it was the individual combat strength or the cooperation between the soldiers and generals, was simply not comparable to the Jingzhou Army that they had seen before.
"This Chen Dao is not very famous under Liu Bei on weekdays, but his skills are indeed not weak." Wei Yan on the side nodded and frowned.
In terms of fame, Chen Daoruo is far inferior to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. On weekdays, he doesn't even have the presence as much as Ji Ling. But when it comes to fighting, he feels more powerful than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Even at such a disadvantage, he can
To stop the decline, even among the generals under Chen Mo, not many dare to say that they have such ability.
The advantage of the terrain is one thing, but the most important thing is Chen Dao's command. Otherwise, if you change someone else, even if the conditions are the same, you may not be able to achieve this step.
Zhang Liao and Wei Yan were both proficient in the art of war, so they could see the extraordinary nature of this person from seemingly ordinary battles.
"We must break through Western Hubei as soon as possible. The news from Wancheng is that Liu Bei's attack has become more and more fierce in the past two days. If we don't rush to help, we may be worried about breaking the city!" Zhang Liao said in a deep voice. Chen Dao is considered a bronze-headed iron.
His bones must also be refined.
"General, I will personally go into battle tomorrow to defeat the enemy camp!" Wei Yan stepped in and saluted.
Generally speaking, generals like Zhang Liao and Wei Yan are in command positions during battles. Unless they are encountered on the battlefield, they rarely visit the front line. However, once such generals appear on the front line, it will also be a great boost to morale.
Although there are quite a few generals in the Guanzhong Army here today, some with higher official positions than Wei Yan, but after these days of fighting, it seems that Wei Yan has become the most popular general under Zhang Liao. If he personally goes into battle, he will fight against
The morale-boosting effect is undoubtedly the best.
"Okay, be careful!" After Zhang Liao was silent for a moment, he nodded and agreed to Wei Yan's participation in the battle. At the moment, he could not think of a better way. Chen Dao was not Zhang Fei, so it would not be easy to attract him to fight.
At that moment, after the generals discussed their plans for tomorrow's battle, they each returned to camp to rest.
Early the next morning, Zhang Liao once again sent troops to attack the Western Hubei camp. Chen Dao's determined eyes showed a bit of exhaustion. He fought with high intensity for three consecutive days. Zhang Liao was anxious, but it was also uncomfortable for Chen Dao who was defending.
, Only when you really face the Guanzhong Army can you feel the sense of oppression from the elites of hundreds of battles. His command is Liu Bei's most elite troops. He has followed Liu Bei since Xuzhou, and was later handed over to Chen Dao. He has been trained enough, and also
I have experienced many battles, but facing the continuous attacks of the Guanzhong Army, I still feel a lot of pressure.
Not only him, but all the soldiers under his command were also exhausted under the continuous fierce attacks by the Guanzhong Army. If this continues, I am afraid they will not be able to sustain it for long.
"Kill~"
Zhang Liao didn't give Chen Zao much time to express his feelings. As soon as the formation was unfolded, he quickly issued an attack and annihilation order. The archers in the back row began to fire arrows towards the other side. A continuous rain of arrows fell, making the Jingzhou army unable to lift their heads.
Come, Wei Yan took advantage of the situation and led the attacking troops to rush up, climb the gate, or hit the gate with a wall.
Taking advantage of the opponent's arrows to relax, Chen Dao immediately ordered his men to rush up and knock down the ladder on the camp gate. This was not a city after all, and the Guanzhong Army was not very dependent on ladders. He rushed to the camp gate or the wall.
Below, two people often work together to quickly climb up the camp gate or the village wall.
Wei Yan took the lead, holding a ring-head knife in his mouth, using his hands and feet together, and quickly climbed up the ladder like an ape. Seeing the enemy push the ladder down with his sword, Wei Yan, who was about to climb to the end, suddenly took it off.
With the Huanshou knife in his mouth, his legs suddenly kicked hard, and the ladder fell backwards faster. However, Wei Yan had already risen into the air, kicked away the stabbing spear, and landed firmly on the gate.
.
"Kill~" with a roar, the sword in his hand pierced the chest and abdomen of a Jingzhou soldier. After a violent blow, the opponent suddenly lost his combat effectiveness.
With a backhand knife, he killed another Jingzhou Army general who took the opportunity to rush towards him and wanted to kill him. Then he strode forward and slammed into the other person with his shoulder, knocking him down and carrying him behind him.
The incoming soldiers were also knocked down.
The space above the camp gate was not as spacious as the city wall. Wei Yan's fighting suddenly opened a gap. Lieutenants and generals took the opportunity to rush up and saw that the camp gate was about to be lost.
Chen Zhi's eyes were sharp, and he was about to step forward to drive these people away in person, when a roar came from behind, but he saw Zhang Fei had already rushed up with a ring-headed knife, and roared: "Uncle Zhi, retreat, I will guard
Yuanmen!"
While he was talking, he rushed up to the camp gate and met a Guanzhong soldier who saw him. Without saying a word, he slashed with his sword. Zhang Fei glared, raised his foot and kicked the opponent in the abdomen, sending him flying.
Get up, fall and fly out.
When the other two Guanzhong troops saw this, they hurriedly came up to surround and kill them, but Zhang Fei killed them all with one sword. He looked at Wei Yan, who was fighting in the crowd with fierce eyes, to provide a bigger gap for the Guanzhong troops outside the camp.
.
Wei Yan was fighting when he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He subconsciously looked back and saw Zhang Fei coming towards him fiercely with a knife.
Even though he knew he was no match for Zhang Fei, Wei Yan had no reason to retreat at this moment.
"Red-faced thief, take your life!" Zhang Feihuan glared at Wei Yan and roared. Before the battle, he had already taken the lead. The soldiers around Guanzhong and Jingzhou all felt their heads buzzing. For a moment, they lost their reaction.
ability.
"Kill!" Wei Yan didn't waste any time, he rushed forward in two steps, and before Zhang Fei could make a move, he already slashed at Zhang Fei.
The sharp sword light reflected the cold luster, confusing people's eyes.
"Death!" Zhang Fei saw this and had nothing to say, so he faced him with a knife.
"Bang~" With the sound of gold and iron, half of Wei Yan's arms went numb, and he took three steps back to stabilize his body. Zhang Fei, on the other hand, did not move at all, and with a ferocious smile on his face, he once again faced Wei Yan
Coming to kill, the sword in his hand cut off again.
Wei Yan quickly raised his sword to parry, and there was another crisp sound. Wei Yan's sword was cut off directly. Zhang Fei was about to take advantage of the situation and kill Wei Yan with a sword. Suddenly, a sharp arrow shot through the air and hit Zhang Fei's arm. Zhang Fei screamed in pain and turned his head to look.
He was about to go, but Zhang Liao came to the front of the formation at some unknown time. Seeing that Wei Yan was in danger, he shot an arrow at Zhang Fei, hitting Zhang Fei's arm.
Wei Yan took the opportunity to run back, turned over, and rolled down the camp gate, knocking over two Guanzhong officers and narrowly escaping with his life. However, the gap he finally opened was closed again as he retreated.
Zhang Fei glared at Zhang Liao fiercely, picked up a dead Guanzhong general, and threw it under the camp gate as a rolling log, knocking over a piece of it. The surrounding Jingzhou army boosted their morale because of Zhang Fei's participation and filled the gap again.
"Click~"
On the battlefield, the sound of wood breaking was slight and was instantly covered up by the sound of fighting. However, Wei Yan, who was under the camp gate, clearly caught the sound. However, after three days of continuous attacks, the camp gate had begun to show signs of fragmentation.
The wood bolts are fine, but cracks are starting to appear on the door.
Wei Yan quickly took a piece of it from the soldier who was holding the city wall and banging against the door. He turned around and shouted: "Listen to my order, one or two, one or two!"
With Wei Yan's constant impact, a hole was quickly knocked out of the gate. The soldiers inside the gate were shocked when they saw this, and quickly pulled out their spears, hoping to assassinate the Guanzhong officers outside the gate.
Wei Yan grabbed a spear, looked sideways at the wooden bolt, and saw that it had been blocked by the opponent's earth bag. He turned around and said: "Bump up and smash this broken door!"
If you can't attack from above, then smash the opponent's gate. Although this thing is strong, it is not made of solid wood like the city gate and is extremely thick.
Under the leadership of Wei Yan, everyone rushed to the camp gate one after another, hitting it with city walls or simply hitting it with their shoulders.
After all, the wooden door couldn't withstand the pressure and broke into pieces. Wei Yan took the opportunity to lift the wall and threw it towards the broken wooden door. Taking advantage of the opportunity for the soldiers inside the door to be knocked open, he flexibly jumped out from there.
He got into a wooden door and grabbed a ring-headed knife with his hands. He slashed left and right. As if he was in an uninhabited land, he killed the Jingzhou soldiers behind the camp gate and scattered them. He took the opportunity to open the wooden bolts and kicked away a few earthbags.
He shouted after holding the door, push hard!
"Fire the arrow!"
Seeing enemy troops breaking into the door, Chen Dao quickly ordered a group of archers to shoot arrows towards Wei Yan.
When Wei Yan saw this, he quickly dropped the weapons in his hands and raised the two corpses in front of him.
"Puff puff puff~"
Almost at the same time, a hail of arrows fell, pricking the two corpses into hedgehogs, and even more arrow clusters were shot out from the empty door where Wei Yan came in, killing several Guanzhong soldiers.
But the door was finally pushed open, and the officers from Guanzhong rushed in with a roar, almost trampling Wei Yan who was buried under the corpse.
On the battlefield, it is no joke to be trampled to death once you fall to the ground. Wei Yan struggled to get out from under the entity and ran to the camp gate, thus escaping the disaster.
Not being shot by the enemy's bows and arrows, but almost being trampled to death by my own family members, this feeling is quite unpleasant.
Wei Yan took a few deep breaths, but when he saw the soldiers rushing into the camp gate being shot down by the oncoming arrows, he quickly roared: "Spread out, spread out, look for shields! Look for those who don't have shields."
The corpse blocks the arrow!"
After being reminded like this, many people reacted and quickly dispersed, allowing more people to rush in. At the same time, they kept pulling up bodies from the ground to block them in front of them. Although this was far less effective than a shield and was heavier, it was
At least it can reduce some casualties.
From the rear, Zhang Liao was overjoyed when he saw the camp gate opened. He quickly ordered his troops to rush into the camp. The fighting moved from outside the camp to inside the camp. The Jingzhou Army no longer had any cover, which was a huge blow to the morale of the Jingzhou Army.
