The Evolution of the Three Kingdoms Volume Chapter 37 Confrontation

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The three Liu Bei brothers are veterans who have truly fought all the way. Although they are not very good at strategy even now, their bravery in combat is not inferior to anyone at all.

    This plan has been decided, and the entire county of Ancheng will be mobilized immediately.  For a moment, people screamed and screamed, and they became murderous.

    Outside the city of Ancheng, Liu Bei's more than 20,000 soldiers, who had finally saved up with great difficulty, poured out of the barracks in groups, poured onto the road, and headed north.

    Two days later, less than sixty miles south of Shangcai, the two armies finally faced each other. After a little testing, there were more than 10,000 Cao troops on one side and more than 20,000 Liu Bei troops on the other side. They were on the west bank of Ru River, ten miles apart.  They each set up camp at a distance of land.

    At this time, the troops led by Li Zhe had also quietly dispatched.

    This army is composed of three parts. One part is the original escort, with about a thousand people, which is the main force of the battle; the other part is the personal barracks, which has now been expanded to 150 people; and the last part is  A heavy supply of troops consisting of two hundred "sacred vehicles".  Yujiapu is patrolled by armed men.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?? The marching speed has accelerated a lot, about seven or eight miles an hour.  In just one day, we arrived at Shangcai.  Go far outside the city.

    But when they continued to advance, they were discovered by the scouts of Cao's army. The gate of Shangcai City was opened, and hundreds of Cao's soldiers chased them from behind. They rushed up to kill them with shouts and shouts.

    Faced with such a formation, Li Zhe's army did not dispatch, but all the personal barracks went into battle. First they fired two rounds of crossbows, and then they picked up steel knives and charged once, knocking over more than a hundred with continuous shooting and slashing, and the rest were all withdrawn.  Went back to the city.  After this incident, Li Zhe was given more than a hundred sets of old cowhide armors. They were tattered and Li Zhe didn't like them, but the soldiers immediately put them on happily. In the eyes of these soldiers,  , the famous Kevlar body armor still doesn¡¯t have this thing!

    Just like this, when the decisive battle between Cao and Liu's armies, Li Zhe's army was about to enter the battlefield.

    ¡­¡­

    The war is about to begin, and there is a chilling smell in the air. The two armies of Cao and Liu are about to fight decisively.

    It is said that if there are more than ten thousand people, there are no boundaries.  The Cao and Liu armies spread out their formations over an area of ??more than ten miles by the river, with a mere three or four miles between them. It was like two giants staring at each other, facing each other!

    Liu Bei's army's military formation was obviously much larger and relatively messy. It was only slightly divided into several groups, led by their own generals, and lined up in two batches to face Cao's army.

    Among them, the equipment of the soldiers was obviously insufficient. Except for the soldiers of Liu Bei's three brothers, they did not even have armor.  Others are like hoes and sticks.

    On the opposite side, Cao Jun's military formation was much more orderly, arranged like a fish-scale formation, divided into five divisions: left, center, front, right and center. They were clearly distinguishable from each other. The soldiers were all wearing armor and had complete sets of swords and guns.  , and the two thousand left troops on the river bank were mainly archers.

    This made Liu Bei's heart immediately feel cold.

    Having been in the war for a long time, he understands that what his soldiers, who are mainly refugees, fear most are two things: one is a large-scale charge of cavalry, and the other is the coverage of archers.

    In fact, the lethality of archers is not very strong. In a cold-weapon battle, less than 10% of the people died from bows and arrows, and most of them were just injured. What's more, long-range weapons were far from developed during the Three Kingdoms period.  to the mature stage.  But for the refugees, it is precisely being injured but not dying that is most frightening. Moreover, the refugees in the battle formation have no armor and can only watch the bows and arrows fall. The helpless psychological pressure is the most deadly thing.  , it is easy for the formation to collapse.

    However, archers are difficult to train, and arrows cost a lot of money, so they are always very few in the army.  This time, Cao's army actually had two thousand archers. This battle was a bit unlucky.

    He thought of this, and the other two were not slow either. Zhang Fei rode over and said:

    "Brother, in this situation, we can't compete with Cao Jun! We must find an opportunity to rush in and disrupt Cao Jun's left army first!"

    Liu Bei nodded in agreement.  At this time, Guan Yu also came to ask for advice. Hearing what the two said, his heart skipped a beat and he said:

    "It doesn't matter! Although Cao Jun is well-armed, Cao Zixiao is a coward. After a while, I will lead everyone to resist head-on. Third brother, you lead all the troops and go straight toAfter defeating the enemy's left army, you and I work together to penetrate the central army and capture Xiao'er in one fell swoop.  As for the eldest brother, how about just stabilizing the rear army and beating the drum to cheer for my third brother and me?  "

    Liu Bei usually talks about his mother-in-law and mother-in-law, but at this time he was not verbose and just held their hands:

    "That's it. The eldest brother is here to prepare the formation for the two brothers and watch the two brothers make a triumphant return!" The three of them looked at each other, understood each other, laughed twice, and prepared their troops.

    These three people are brothers in life and death. They have no grudges against each other. They always fight together without prioritizing each other. The stronger the enemy, the stronger their morale will be.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out?? out? of???????????????????????????????????????????¡¯¡¯¡¯¡¯¡¯¡¯¡¯¡¯¡¯¡¯¡¯¡¯¡¯¡¯¡¯¡¯¡¯¡¯¡¯s so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so to so so so so so so so so so so to so so so so so so to so so so to so so so so to so so so so so to so so so to so so to face to to with basis with basis.  Such arrogance is really heartbreaking.

    At this time in Cao¡¯s camp, Cao Ren looked at Liu Bei¡¯s military formation and immediately laughed:

    "Liu Bei, son, just led a group of farmers and dared to confront my army. He is indeed a pawn! He doesn't know whether to live or die!"

    Xia Houyuan also smiled when he saw this scene: "Liu Bei, maybe he thought that this was during the Guangxi period of Zhongping, and he brought a group of farmers to learn how to march and fight. It's in vain that the prime minister valued him so much! But it's so ugly!"

    But he didn¡¯t know that when Liu Bei started his career, it was with this bloody courage that he emerged during the Yellow Turban Rebellion and gained such a huge reputation now.

    For a time, the two armies were facing each other in large formations, drums were beating, and the front army began to move forward, just when the swords were about to meet.

    Report!  ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    A long order came from the rear army. A small cavalryman heard the sound and appeared, galloping forward on horseback, running straight to Cao Ren's central army's tent.  When he got close, he got off his horse and said:

    "An urgent military report came from Shangcai. There was an army coming from the direction of Dingying. It broke through the obstruction of our remaining troops in Shangcai and came straight from this direction."

    Cao Ren frowned.

    "Who is coming? How many soldiers and horses are there?"

    The primary school officer replied: "The people who came did not display any flags, and I don't know where they are. However, they numbered two to three thousand people, accompanied by hundreds of carts."

    oh?  Who is this?  Cao Ren thought about it secretly, but then he thought about it and felt relieved. There were not many people coming, and since there were hundreds of carts, the marching speed would not be fast. I am afraid that they would not be able to reach here during the decisive battle today.

    PS: Thanks to Yesou¡¤Ubinie for the reward, today¡¯s task is completed!
