Chapter 314 Zhang Fei was drunk and whipped his soldiers(1/2)
Liu, Guan and Zhang were quick and rushed into the city first.
However, only half of the tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers they brought out had fled back to the pass.
At this time, the coalition forces had already come up.
"Close the city gate!"
Liu Bei ordered decisively without blinking.
Zhang Fei was shocked:
"Brother, you can't close the city gate!
There are still thousands of brothers outside the city!"
Liu Bei shook his head and said:
"I can't care about so much, close the city gate!"
The person in charge of the city gate defense was Liu Bei's newly acquired young general Wei Qi, who Liu Bei attaches great importance to him.
Wei Qi ignored the lives of these Xiliang soldiers. Liu Bei immediately closed the city gate tightly with the order.
The Xiliang soldiers outside the city were killed by the coalition forces and screamed endlessly.
Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei in disbelief and said:
"Brother, aren't we a benevolent and righteous teacher?
Why should we ignore our robes?!"
Liu Bei frowned and said to Zhang Fei:
"The most important thing now is to guard the Sishui Pass well. We must put the overall situation first!
Necessary sacrifices are inevitable!
Besides, our robes are our ten thousand direct troops.
These Xiliang soldiers did everything they wanted in Luoyang, and they deserved to die under the Sishui Pass!"
After saying that, he stopped explaining and turned around to Chengguan with Guan Yu and Wei Qi.
Zhang Fei stood there in a daze.
Is this still my elder brother who is famous all over the world for his benevolence and righteousness?
Why is he so indifferent and abandoned his robes that fight side by side?
Listening to the increasingly smaller shouts of killing outside the city, Zhang Fei was in great pain and wished he could turn around and rescue these soldiers.
Fan Jiang, the deputy general beside him, advised:
"General, the lord has already gone to the city, so let's hurry up and guard the city."
Another deputy general, Zhang Da, also said:
"Yes, General, you can't let the lord get grudges against you because of these Xiliang soldiers!"
Fan Jiang and Zhang Da Er are the old brothers who followed Zhang Fei when he was named.
The two have always been loyal to Zhang Fei, and have been promoted from an ordinary ten-men to their current deputy general.
Zhang Fei asked the two of them with a bit sadness:
"If one day you encounter danger, will you abandon me at will?"
Fan Jiang and Zhang Da clasped their fists and said:
"We swear to follow the general to the death!"
Fan Jiang and Zhang Da expressed loyalty to Zhang Fei, which made Zhang Fei feel much better.
He quickly walked up the city wall and helped Liu Bei guard the city pass.
At this time, the Xiliang soldiers outside the city had been killed by the coalition forces.
The coalition forces were in a hurry, and Zhang Fei stood there absent-mindedly like a wood.
After seeing it, Liu Bei scolded Zhang Fei and said:
"Third brother, what are you thinking?
Why don’t you go to the west to defend the city?!”
Only then did Zhang Fei recover and waved the enemy who had climbed onto the city wall with his snake spear.
The three brothers Liu Bei had just lost a battle, but they ignored the life and death of the Xiliang army who were going to fight and blocked them outside the city.
His series of actions made the morale of the Xiliang army defending the city extremely low, and gradually he was unable to defend.
Yuan Shao was a little ecstatic when he saw the decline of the Xiliang Army.
If he can successfully conquer Sishui Pass, he, the leader of the coalition forces, can gain a lot of fame.
"Siege the city!
quick!
The thief army couldn't hold on anymore!"
Yuan Shao waved his sword and roared, wishing he could capture Sishui Pass immediately.
Just when the Xiliang army was about to resist, an angry shout rang out from behind them:
"Damn it! Did you guys not eat?!
Even these coalition rats can't stop it?
Beat me hard!
I want to see who dares to climb up to the city!"
Everyone looked in the voice and saw that Dong Zhuo's general Li Jue and Guo Si led a large number of Xiliang troops to climb up the city wall.
After receiving the order from Dong Zhuo, the two led an army of 50,000 to support Sishui Pass at night, just in time to catch up with the city wall when the coalition forces were at its most powerful attack.
Although Li Jue and Guo Si are far from that of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, their prestige in the Western Liang army is definitely not comparable to that of Guan and Zhang.
Seeing these two powerful generals climbing the city, the Xiliang army guarding the city seemed to have found its backbone and began to counterattack the coalition soldiers in a crazy manner.
Guo Si grinned and laughed:
"This is my Xiliang'er Lang!
Brothers, follow me and completely defeat these siege rats!"
With the order of Guo Si, the reinforcements he brought rushed forward like wolves and tigers and fought with the coalition forces.
The siege troops, which were highly anticipated by Yuan Shao, were defeated step by step, and were completely destroyed by the Xiliang army guarding the city in less than half an hour.
"Leader, withdraw your troops. This kind of attack is not a solution!" Hanoi prefect Wang Kuang persuaded Yuan Shao with distress.
Many of these siege troops were his troops, and if they continued to conquer his troops, his troops would be abandoned.
Yuan Shao ordered with a gloomy face:
“Retreat!
I will come again to attack the city tomorrow and swear to take down the Sishui Pass!"
After the coalition forces retreated, Liu Bei stepped forward to greet Li Jue and Guo Si and said:
"I'm sure you are the two generals for your help!"
Li Jue said to Liu Bei with a slight smile:
"General Liu Bei doesn't have to be too polite.
I am a little strange. I, Xiliang'erlang, are all as brave as a wolf. Why are you as cowardly as a sheep when you get it?"
If Li Jue had dared to talk to Liu Bei like this, Zhang Fei would have rushed up and started to squirt.
But now he felt a little inappropriate, and his black face was huddled behind Liu Bei with a hot face, and he didn't say anything.
Liu Bei smiled at Li Jue humbly:
"Being not good at using troops made the general laugh.
If you want to defend Sishui Pass, you have to rely on generals like General Li and General Guo.”
Liu Bei licked these two words to Li Jue and Guo Si very comfortably, and the two couldn't help laughing.
Liu Bei felt that the atmosphere was very good now, so he continued to say to the two:
"Thank you for the hard work of the two generals coming from afar.
I will prepare a little wine to welcome the two of you, and please don’t dislike the two generals.”
He just repelled the coalition forces and was praised by Liu Bei again, so Li Jue was in a very good mood.
"General Liu is so polite.
We should be close to each other as ministers in the same dynasty.
