Chapter 211 Life and Death at Night

ambush, the second way ambush!

Zhang Liao and Li Dian were all shocked.

It turned out that this Jiangdong Mei Zhoulang not only counted Zhang Liaohui's late-night camp with cavalry, but also counted Li Dian's response.

While arranging an ambush in the camp, Zhou Yu sent another step army to take a small boat to cover at night and ambush at the fork of the river that Hefei must pass this time. Because of the thick night and dense reeds, Li Dian, who had passed by from here before, was concentrating on picking up Zhang Liao, but he was unaware of it.

The left and right rivers are only one foot deep. It is not difficult to wade across the river, but the sudden rise of 5,000 ambush soldiers surrounded this thousand panicked soldiers in the narrow triangle, and the situation is extremely unfavorable.

The pursuers are in the back, the besieging soldiers are in front, and there is no way to retreat.

Only in today's situation, only when you fight to kill a bloody road can you have a chance to live.

As soon as the situation was imminent, Zhang Liao couldn't think about it. He waved his knife and shouted harshly, "Brothers, Hefei is right in front of you. Let me kill it out."

In the roar of tigers and wolves, Zhang Liao went up. More than a thousand steps were defeated and rushed forward with Zhang Liao.

The Wu people were not afraid and flocked from all directions.

Zhang Liao was powerful, and a long knife danced into a wheel-like iron curtain. The blade was over, and the Wu people were like paper paste, one by one was put down on the ground. He stepped on the bodies and rushed all the way.

Breaking through layers of soldiers and horses, wrapped in a wind, Zhang Liao, rushed straight towards the speed. Suddenly, Wu Jun was like a wave, and a young general rushed towards him with a knife.

Before the blade arrived, the murderous spirit of hunting came. Before he could see the appearance of the other party clearly, Zhang Liao knew that it would be easy to be with him.

In the blink of an eye, the man has rushed to a distance of two feet.

The knife is like a crescent moon, dragging the dancing tail dust and cutting it down.

This is a knife that weighs a thousand pounds.

If it was normal, Zhang Liao would not hesitate to take the knife, but after the chaotic battle of Wu Camp and retreating all the way here, his physical strength had been greatly consumed. As soon as the other party's knife came out, he knew that with his current strength, he would definitely suffer losses.

Without thinking too much, Zhang Liao reacted very quickly. He turned the knife sideways and beat it. With the help of the side of the big knife, he gently wiped it with the help of the side of the big knife, and tried to make the splitting of the enemy knife invisible.

But the general on the opposite side, both in strength and moves, are extremely strong. This knife is so fast that it has a landslide-like power. Although it is gently rubbed on the side of the blade, it still stimulates an explosive rebound force, which only makes Zhang Liao's whole body stiffen, and the tiger's mouth is followed by a numbness.

When a move was resolved, Zhang Liao calmed down his qi and blood, counterattacked as an attack, and swept the enemy general's shoulder from left to right with a knife.

It was Ling Tong who fought against the enemy general.

The knife just now was the essence of his Ling family's knife method, but under one knife, it was easily resolved by the opponent, and the power of rebound also shocked his qi and blood.

With just one move, Ling Tong realized that this person must be an extraordinary person, either Zhang Liao or Li Dian.

In a shock, Ling Tong's fighting spirit was more strong, and he thought that if he had killed the enemy general, he would have made the first contribution to this battle.

Seeing the opponent's counterattack, Ling Tong tilted his body to the side and hit back with his backhand.

In the sound of metal, the fire splashed everywhere, and the strong shock wave directly shocked the surrounding airflow.

In the chaotic army, the two warriors used their own means to fight to the death.

There were 5,000 Wu troops in the ambush, which occupied a favorable position in advance, and took advantage of the terrain of the river fork to surround the thousand Cao army in one fell swoop.

Although Zhang Liao was majestic and Li Dian had a high fighting spirit, in the case of defeat, the soldiers were physically and mentally exhausted, and they could not break through under the hard battle.

A few miles away, Hefei City.

On the head of the city, Le Jin put on armor and a knife, raised his eyes and looked at Wu Ying. The overwhelming firelight made his mood heavier and heavier.

Originally, with expectations, he encouraged Zhang Liao and Li Dian to go out of the city to rob the enemy camp at night, but soon after, he received the bad news that Zhang Liao was besieged. With the insight of Lejin, Zhou Yu immediately judged that the intention of his confidant was recognized by Zhou Yu.

A quarter of an hour ago, Li Dian just sent someone to send a message back, saying that he had left to pick up Zhang Liao, hoping to save Zhang Liao.

From the bottom of his heart, Le Jin really didn't care much about Zhang Liao's life and death, but at present, he has to worry about this person's safety. If Zhang Liao unfortunately dies in battle, it will be a major blow to the morale of the whole Hefei garrison. At that time, he will face a more unfavorable situation, which Le Jin does not want to see.

As soon as Li Dian left, half an hour had passed, and he never returned to the army, and the haze between his eyebrows was even heavier.

In the midst of apfancy, a blood-blooded cavalry fled back to Hefei. Le Jin was eager to send it to the city for interrogation. After asking, he knew that the Wu people had ambushed the second ambush. Li Dian and Zhang Liao, who rushed to pick up, were besieged a few miles away by the Wu people.

"How could this happen!" In shock, Le Jin meditated and shouted, "Let the whole army gather quickly and follow me to rescue the trapped army."

Le Jin's surname is like a fire. Hearing that the friendly army was besieged, how could he sit back and watch the unfavorable move? Now he had to lead the army out of the city to pick up General Zhang Li.

Before it was time to go to the city, the guard Xue Di arrived in a hurry and said, "General Le, what are you going to do?"

Le Jin went down the stairs and said, "I don't have time to tell you in detail. Wen Yuan and Man Cheng are surrounded by the rebels. I'm going to hurry to save them back."

Xue Ti followed down the stairs and hurriedly advised, "General Le, Prime Minister Cao has an order. General Le is ordered to defend the city and not go to war. How can you disobey the order of the Prime Minister?"

"The situation has changed. If Zhang and Li flash, their morale will be greatly damaged. How can they defend the city at that time?" While Le Jin was talking, he had turned over and strangled the reins to leave.

Xue Zi's duty is to protect the army. The responsibility of the guard is to monitor the loyalty of the leading generals and supervise them to comply with Cao Jian's orders.

Cao Qian made it clear in the secret order that if the Wu army comes, Zhang Li will go to war and be happy to defend the city.

Although Zhang Li's two generals are besieged now, even if the two of them die in the battle, it is none of Xue Di's business, because he completely followed Cao Qian's orders. However, if you are happy to go in and out of the war, in case of a mistake, then your own guard will have a joint responsibility for dereliction of duty. With the severity of Cao's military law, how can you bear it if you blame it?

Thinking about this, Xue Tie was very afraid. In front of him, he was happy that the horse was about to leave. He rushed forward and pulled the reins of his horse and said harshly, "General Le, the Prime Minister has an order. It is strictly forbidden to fight. You still want to be like this. Aren't you afraid of the Prime Minister's military punishment!"

Le Jin was shocked when he heard the words, and his heart suddenly felt afraid.

Cao Yan's usage is so strict that Le Jin has followed him for many years. However, Xue Di is right. If the Prime Minister really blames him, even he will never show mercy.

When Xue Di saw that Le Jin was hesitant, he immediately took the opportunity to persuade him: "General Le, think about it. Since Wu Ren can set up two ambushes, it means that Zhou Yu has already seen through the Prime Minister's plan. Now, if the general goes out of the city without authorization, and the Wu people take the opportunity to attack Hefei. If there is a mistake in Hefei, you and I will become the sinner of the country. You and I can bear such a serious crime.

After Xue Di's persuasion, Lejin's fighting spirit was dissipated. He lowered his eyebrows and said nothing. After pondering for a long time, he gritted his teeth and sighed, threw the whip to the ground fiercely, jumped off the horse, and walked heavily back to the city.

Looking at the direction of Wu Ying in the distance, Le Jin's expression was extremely ugly.

Xue Di knew that if Zhang Liao Er had something to do, Le Jin would bear the "scolding" of sitting and not saving his colleagues. For a prestigious general in the army, how could such a reputation not make him uncomfortable?

But at this point, Xue Di had no choice but to comfort him from the side: "General Zhang and General Li are excellent in martial arts. Even if they are surrounded, they will be able to break out of the siege. General Le, please relax."

In desperation, Le Jin can only sigh secretly.

In the north of the city, Wu Jun, who is hidden in the night, has been waiting silently.

Zhou Yu's strategy was to ambush the troops of Ling Tong and surround Zhang Liao and Li Dian's army, so as to attract Lejin from Hefei to lead the army out of the city to save. At this time, he could lead his own army to surprise the empty city of Hefei from the north.

This is his plan.

Time passes minute by minute, the moon sinks, the east gradually turns white, the dawn is coming, and the sky is about to light up in a blink of an eye.

After waiting for most of the night, he never saw the Hefei garrison fight. Zhou Yu's heart gradually surged with a little disappointment.

"Governor, it's almost dawn. Why don't we attack the city?" Xu Sheng, who was around him, asked.

As soon as the sky is bright, your own actions will be exposed to the enemy's reconnaissance. Now is the last time to take advantage of the false attack on Hefei.

It's just, how can we break through this strong city in a short time without being transferred from Hefei?

There was a little regret on Zhou Yu's face, and he sighed softly, "It seems that there are still people in Cao's army. I'm afraid my plan to turn the tiger away from the mountain has failed."

Xu Sheng's expression changed: "What should I do now? Is Hefei City still attacking?"

Zhou Yu shook his head, pulled out his horse back, and waved his hand and said, "The whole army should withdraw and return the camp. By the way, send someone to inform Ling Gongji, so that he doesn't have to drag it any longer. The besieged enemy will be annihilated for me."

As soon as he rode away, the 5,000 Wu army at the fork of the river immediately changed the original tactics of siege and entanglement, and began to use his real ability to launch the most fierce attack on Cao's army.

Under the urgent attack, the pressure on the remnants of Cao's army suddenly doubled.

Blood was splashing, and the soldiers around him fell one after another. More than a thousand people fought less and less. When the sky was bright, there were only less than 500 people left.

In front of Zhang Liao, Li Dian, who was carrying several creations, gasped and shouted, "Wen Yuan, it seems that Le Wenqian is not going to come to save us. I think the enemy's encirclement in the west is weak, so you can lead the cavalry to break through to the west. I'll lead the infantry to contain the enemy.

Hearing this, Zhang Liao was shocked. He knew that Li Dian was going to sacrifice himself and help him make a way to live.
