The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 853 The Final Battle (Twenty)

But as the battle gradually became more intense, the two sides were jealous, and both sent troops to fight, so that the place of the battle was no longer limited to the area of ​​the Zhaimen, but turned into a state of melee.

This situation lasted for two full days.At this time, the warring forces of Zhang Zhao and Deng Ai lost a total of at least 4000 people, and no minor injuries were counted among them.For the two armies, although the exact number of casualties is temporarily unknown, it is definitely a large proportion.

This is definitely the most intense and bloody battle planned by Liu Chan.Moreover, the leader of one of them was actually Zhang Zhao, who was benevolent and moral all day long. It could be seen that this old guy was really crazy at this time.

On the third day, the soldiers on both sides were exhausted.

Zhang Zhao knew that such a battle should never continue.It's not that his army can't be defeated at all, but because so much time has passed, Mengxi may have already captured Wuhu City, and began to increase troops to Liyang City.Therefore, they must make preparations as soon as possible. On the other hand, depending on the situation, they must continue to ask for help from all parts of Wu County to send more troops to his side.

Therefore, Zhang Zhao withdrew his troops resolutely, entered his camp and began to let the army rest and reorganize in order to prepare for the next more intense battle.

But Zhang Zhao and Liu Ji still seemed a little too idealistic.Both of them are indeed highly intelligent and decisive. They knew that under Deng Ai's tenacious resistance, it would be impossible for them to conquer the camp, so they retreated immediately.

But it was too late for both of them to think it was just in time.Because at that time, Mengxi's troops had already arrived near the battlefield.But they didn't come from the west to join Deng Ai's men, Meng Xi actually did the opposite, and made a detour to the east of Liyang City.

So in the middle of the night, Mengxi's troops suddenly mobilized and attacked Zhang Zhao's camp at night.As countless rockets were fired into the camp, flames quickly ignited in the camp, and the fire spread rapidly to the surroundings.

Zhang Zhao's men and horses were immediately stunned when they saw the fire everywhere. There was chaos in the camp, some were shouting for the enemy to attack, some were running around, and some were yelling...

Immediately, Meng Xi led his troops to break open the gate of the camp, rushing in.

Deng Ai soon got relevant reports and knew that it was Meng Xi's men who were dispatched.

Meng Xi had already sent someone to inform Deng Ai about Meng Xi's approach.Deng Ai knew that this time was indeed the time agreed upon by Meng Xi, and immediately sent troops to attack Zhang Zhao's camp.

After a night of fighting between the two sides, Zhang Zhao and Liu Ji's men were killed, wounded, captured, and escaped by night.In short, the 8000-strong army led by Zhang Zhao and Liu Ji completely disintegrated overnight.

Originally, Deng Ai intended to raid Liyang City during the night battle.However, the Jiangdong Army in Liyang City did not dare to come out to rescue Zhang Zhao's men because of their small number.Therefore, even if Deng Ai wanted to raid Liyang City, he couldn't find a chance.

In fact, there was another result of this battle: Although Zhang Zhao was protected by the remnant army and successfully broke through, Liu Ji was not so lucky and was captured by Meng Xi's men.

Liu Ji's reputation has always been very good, and Deng Ai and Meng Xi didn't make it difficult for him, they just took care of him.

Then, the two immediately commanded the army to continue to besiege Liyang City.

Deng Ai and Meng Xi had already made preparations to launch a large army to attack the next day, but they didn't expect that the Jiangdong Army in Liyang City was really frightened this time, and they launched it in the middle of the night mutiny.

They quickly defeated the diehard elements in the Jiangdong army, broke through the Liyang city government office, and captured their county magistrate alive.Then, early the next morning, the gates of Liyang City were opened, and they dedicated the city themselves.

The Liyang City was actually obtained without any effort, Deng Ai and Meng Xi were of course happy to accept the surrender of the defenders, and immediately led the army into the Liyang City to reward those mutinous soldiers.

Then, Deng Ai and Meng Xi sent out a good news to Liu Chan, and at the same time began to rest and reorganize the army.The Shu Han army's encirclement and suppression campaign against Sun Quan's army has officially begun.

Three days later, Liu Chan finally received reports from Deng Ai and Meng Xi, and he was immediately overjoyed.After waiting for so long, he finally got this report.

At this time, Sun Quan also learned the news that Zhang Zhao and Liu Ji's troops were defeated, and the morale of the whole army was suddenly low.

In fact, the good news jointly signed by Deng Ai and Meng Xi first reached Zhang Fei, and then it was sent from there.According to the previous agreement between the left, middle and right armies, when Liu Chan received the news of victory, Zhang Fei's men had already been in a stalemate and did not attack, and brazenly began to forcibly cross the river to attack Zhuge Jin's men.

Liu Chan's side immediately conveyed the order for a full-scale decisive battle to Yu Jin's side.Yu Jin had already prepared the army for many days, and the whole army was dispatched to fight Zhuge Ke's men again extremely fiercely.

The Chinese army on Liu Chan's side was already ready to go, and the men who preceded Yu Jin also launched an assault on Sun Quan's men.

This time, Liu Chan will never hold back.He mobilized the cavalry under the command of Gai Meng and Xiong Ping.Although the battlefield at this time is too small and the ground is relatively soft, it is not suitable for a large-scale cavalry attack, but it does not mean that cavalry cannot be used at all.

Liu Chan asked Xiong Ping to lead the previous cavalry, appearing on the right flank of his army, and directly formed a charging wedge formation.A cavalry team of this size can still show sufficient power, and it can also overwhelm the enemy in momentum.

The final battle between the two sides broke out.

The battle between the two sides was extremely fierce, and it was a situation where there was no end to death.

The battle lasted for a day, Zhuge Ke was defeated first, and the direction had completely collapsed.Seeing this, Zhuge Ke had no choice but to flee away with a small number of people.

Yu Jin didn't chase Zhuge Ke, Zhuge Ke would naturally have Deng Ai and Meng Xi to deal with him.Yu Jin led the army to detour around the entire battlefield and came to Sun Quan's flank. Yu Jin and Liu Chan cooperated with each other and defeated Sun Quan's army in one fell swoop.

Sun Quan finally despaired, now it was impossible to escape backwards, so he had to go to Zhuge Jin's army under the protection of Ling Tong.

Due to the protection of the river on Zhugejin's side, Zhang Fei's troops were unable to break through for a while, so Zhugejin's army was actually still intact.

But with the arrival of Sun Quan, Zhuge Jin's mission changed from the original defensive operation to the breakout operation to protect Sun Quan.

But there were many people on Zhang Fei's side, and he soon got the news from Liu Chan, and quickly established a defensive posture on the other side of the Jing River.

With the encirclement of Yu Jin and Liu Chan's army, the last of Sun Quan's troops fell into death after all.Even if they want to break out of the siege at this time, they have completely lost their chance when they are being attacked by the Shu Han army on all sides, east, west, and north.

Sun Quan looked at Zhuge Jin who looked extremely disappointed beside him, couldn't help but sighed up to the sky, and then shouted loudly: "It's really the sky that wants to kill me in Jiangdong!"

After the shout fell, perhaps unable to bear the blow any longer, Sun Quan's tall figure suddenly fell backwards.

Ling Tong also looked anxious at this time, but his reaction was extremely fast. He immediately stepped forward and supported Sun Quan from behind, choked up and said, "My lord, take care!"

A word of care contains so much helplessness for the Jiangdong Army!
