The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 233 Fancheng Battle ([-])

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and the [-] infantry in front—hundreds of them had been killed now—still held their ground tightly, while the left and right wings were gradually repelling the enemy troops who were about to outflank.Seeing this, Liu Chan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But Cao Ren became more and more astonished. He really admired the courage and perseverance of the soldiers in front of him.These cavalrymen under him are soldiers who have fought a hundred battles. Many non-commissioned officers are veterans who have followed him since the Battle of Guandu. Unexpectedly, they were blocked by a group of infantry today.

Cao Ren couldn't help being very angry, he shouted loudly, and galloped forward on his own horse, when a majestic governor stepped forward to fight himself.Seeing the flash of his saber, he chopped off the head of a Jingzhou soldier, then raised his saber and roared wildly.

Seeing the momentum, the morale of the cavalry, which had begun to fade, rose again.Under the leadership of Cao Ren, they launched an attack on the sword player again, and the entire formation seemed to collapse for a while.

Seeing the situation, Du Peng was in a hurry, and now he was shouldering the mission of protecting the eldest son Liu Chan.He can't control anything now, although he knows that the dark and tall enemy general is very brave, but he believes that as long as he kills him, the enemy's morale will plummet.

Therefore, Du Peng immediately rode up to Cao Ren, brandished his long spear and stabbed Cao Ren.Cao Ren is a veteran general, how could he be successfully attacked by Du Peng?With a sneer, he swung away Du Peng's spear and shouted, "The unknown young general An Gan plots against your Cao Zixiao!"

Du Peng was shocked when he heard that, knowing that the person in front of him was Cao Ren, it was even more impossible for him to let him go, so he decided to fight to the death.He swung his spear desperately, and countless gunshots swayed in front of him.

After the two fought for ten rounds, Cao Ren shouted loudly and slashed out with a knife. After being blocked by Du Peng, the knife turned up and cut off Du Peng's left arm with one knife, and then cut Du Peng's left arm with a horizontal knife. From Peng's head, blood gushed out immediately.

Poor Du Peng was loyal and brave, so he died under Cao Ren's hands.However, the death of Du Peng directly led to the collapse of the command system of the front army. Cao Ren's troops suddenly felt like no one was in the land, and Liu Chan's men and horses retreated steadily.

Liu Chan was agitated by Du Peng's death, and seeing that the situation had suddenly become so bad, he secretly scolded Guan Yu in his heart for fighting desperately here, why didn't he come over to help?

Then, Liu Chan also became ruthless, and had to use a move he had never used before. He suddenly raised his sword and rode his horse to the back of the army in front.Seeing this, the rangers were afraid that Liu Chan would be attacked by the enemy, so they hurried forward to protect Liu Chan's surroundings.

Liu Chan then shouted: "Soldiers, your son is right behind you now. If you take a step back, I will be one step closer to death! Now you are optimistic."

As Liu Chan said, he actually threw the saber to the ground, inserted it firmly into the ground in front of him, and swayed non-stop on the ground.

Liu Chan then shouted: "You all look after me, I, Liu Chan, will stand here today, and I will never take half a step back. When the enemy steps over this sword, it will be me, Liu Chan, who will go to death with all of you Time!"

Liu Chan's rhetoric of wishing to live and die with the soldiers once again inspired the morale of the soldiers, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers became high again.

They all knew that the prince Liu Chan was right behind them, ready to live and die with them at any time, as long as they retreated, the prince would become even more dangerous.They have all made up their minds, even if they die, they will never take a step back!

Therefore, someone in the battle line shouted loudly: "I am willing to die for my son, I am willing to die for my son!"

Then, all the Jingzhou troops began to shout the same words in their mouths, bravely blocking the enemy's offensive, making it difficult to advance any more.

Cao Ren was shocked by the group of soldiers in front of him, and his invincible cavalry was also shocked.They all suddenly began to feel, should they raise their butcher knives to these brave soldiers in front of them now?

Then, Liu Chan waved his right hand and ordered: "The last row of soldiers, step forward to support the central part!"

The soldiers in the last row suddenly cheered, and Liu Chan couldn't help but feel a little strange.In fact, what he didn't know was that the last hundred soldiers had been watching the bloody battle of Paoze in front of them, and then they were encouraged by Liu Chan's words, and they were already eager to try.Now, if they were able to fight for the eldest son Liu Chan, even if they died in battle, it would definitely be an honorable thing!

The battle continued for another quarter of an hour.Guan Xing's [-] knights finally rushed back to support after losing dozens of people.With the addition of these elite cavalry, the pressure on the infantry array in front was immediately reduced by more than half, and some places even began to launch local counterattacks.

At the same time, a puff of smoke and dust finally rose in the direction of Guan Yu's main formation, which looked a little blurry, because the current sky was actually getting dark.But the sound of horseshoes, the footsteps of the infantry running, and the violent shock from the ground made Liu Chan absolutely sure that Guan Yu's reinforcements had finally arrived.

He immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Soldiers, everyone must hold on, Guan Junhou's reinforcements have arrived!"

Immediately there was a burst of cheers in the army formation.

Cao Ren immediately reacted to this situation. He knew that now was the time to make a decision, not to mention that the city gate had been secured.As expected of a famous general, he immediately decided to cut his tail to survive.He left the 700 cavalry in front to continue the fierce battle with Liu Chan's army, while he led the [-] cavalry behind him to suddenly turn around and run west of the city.

Seeing that Cao Ren was finally defeated and fled, Liu Chan couldn't help being overjoyed, but he also felt a little pity. If he had enough cavalry now, he would definitely be able to wipe them all out.Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.

Two or three quarters of an hour later, the joint army of Liu Chan and Guan Yu finally killed the remaining [-] cavalry.In fact, Liu Chan didn't want to kill them all, but it's a pity that none of them was willing to surrender.It made Liu Chan sigh in his heart, Cao Ren was able to defend the small Fancheng with thousands of people, it was not without reason!

At this time, Liu Chan stepped forward slowly and took back his saber.

Looking back at the piles of corpses on the ground and the soil soaked in blood, he couldn't help but feel an urge to scream up to the sky.The tragedy of the war made him feel extremely depressed.

Liu Chan took a deep breath and began to convey the final order after the war.He first asked Zhao Feng to take the wounded out of the battlefield, and then collected the bones of Du Peng and all the Jingzhou soldiers who died in battle.

Then, Liu Chan sent several rangers to Guan Yu's main camp to take his handbook and call those doctors to treat the wounded.Then, he sent Zuo Fu to lead a group of rangers to collect all the usable war horses on the battlefield, absolutely not leaving one for Guan Yu!Because Guan Yu is not worthy of such spoils today!
After giving these instructions, Liu Chan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly felt a burst of weakness in his body, and almost fell off the horse.

Shi Hui hurriedly stepped forward to support Liu Chan, and asked, "My lord, are you alright?"

Liu Chan shook his head, and just said: "You go to rescue the wounded, and the rest of the guards will follow me back to the camp."

Then, with a wave of his right hand, Liu Chan led a group of white-eared guards who stayed behind to protect him, and ran towards the camp. He didn't care that Guan Yu was not far away, and he should have gone to see him.

In fact, Liu Chan did this because he didn't want to see Guan Yu now, because he was afraid that if he saw Guan Yu, he would not be able to control his anger.
