As the Battle of Shangyong began, Wu and Wei took the stance of fighting to the death with Qi. As the leader of the Shadow, Jia Xu first met the news, and he did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately sent someone to send the information to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei had not yet set off for the war, but he ordered Zhang Fei to lead 10,000 troops to Runan City for rescue for the vanguard. Liu Bei sat in the main seat, thinking about how to arrange troops. At this time, a shadow ran in and knelt down and said, "Lord, the latest information!"
Liu Bei glanced at the guards next to him. The guards understood and took the information thousands of times and put it in front of Liu Bei's case. Liu Bei opened it and frowned. It turned out that this information was about the Battle of Shangyong. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu appeared again and went to Shangyong.
Liu Bei couldn't help but get angry when he thought of this. It seemed that Dongwu was determined to fight with him to the end! After being angry, Liu Bei decided to send troops as soon as possible, and he would go back the account of Dongwu in person.
Turning around the sky, the 50,000 troops gathered by Liu Bei set out in a mighty manner to kill Ben Runan City. Zhang Fei was the vanguard and rushed all the way. After three days, he arrived near Runan City. The army had no way to rest, and it was almost time to reach Runan City! Zhang Fei ordered the marching to be suspended, and the army was stationed, and then he wanted to send a large number of scouts to check the enemy situation.
But just as he was about to give an order, suddenly a shout of killing sounded from the nearby mountain. However, it was Huang Zhong, the general of the Eastern Wu, who had already led his troops to wait here for a long time. Speaking of the Eastern Wu army, he was ready to kill him. Zhang Fei was furious when he saw it. He knew that the soldiers on his side were tired at this moment, and even if he wanted to escape, he might not be able to escape. So at this time, he had to fight to the death!
Fortunately, Zhang Fei was not given for nothing. When he came out, he led a team of crossbow soldiers to prevent accidents. Although there were only one hundred people, it was very useful at this time.
At the command of Zhang Fei, the team did not bother to rest and form a formation on the spot. As soon as the formation was set up, the Eastern Wu army slapped the horse and arrived. Seeing that the cavalry was about to rush to the formation, Zhang Fei ordered the crossbows to start shooting. One hundred crossbows were holding ten consecutive crossbows. In a short time, a thousand crossbows mixed with a large number of bows and arrows rushed towards the Eastern Wu cavalry.
The Eastern Wu army did not expect that the Qi army would have the power to fight. Unexpectedly, the front army suffered heavy losses. Huang Zhong shouted at him: "Scatter the attack!"
With Huang Zhong's roar, the formation of the front army suddenly became loose, but even so, there was no decrease in casualties. Huang Zhong behind him couldn't help but feel blood in his heart, but on the battlefield, either you die or I live. As the saying goes, "Love is not in charge of the soldiers, and you can't come at this time."
Huang Zhong saw that more than half of the casualties of the front army, so he asked the army to take them all, and he vowed to break through the Qi army's formation even if he died. Finally, the Qi army could not withstand it. After three rounds of crossbows, the Eastern Wu army broke through a distance of 100 steps. At this time, Zhang Fei waved his hand, and all the spearmen standing behind the crossbows were out of the line, holding a spear and half-squatting in his hands to prepare to welcome the attack of the Eastern Wu cavalry.
The two armies finally collided with each other, and in an instant, people were overturned and screamed endlessly. The front army of the Eastern Wu was almost wiped out, but the Qi army's formation was also broken by them. Huang Zhong slapped his horse and waved his sword to the man and rushed in along the gap.
Zhang Fei saw it clearly in the military formation. He gave the command power to the deputy general, slapped Huang Zhong and killed him. The two of them had no nonsense when they met. They fought together without saying anything. Zhang Fei's Snake Spear and Huang Zhong's big sword flew up and down, and they fought for a while.
The Eastern Wu army was waiting for work. The soldiers of the Qi army were too tired and gradually could not withstand the attack of the Eastern Wu army. However, even so, Zhang Fei still did not order the retreat, and the two armies fought to the death here.
The battle lasted for more than an hour! Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong were still in the same position, but the Qi army suffered about two-thirds of the losses at this moment. The Eastern Wu army suffered a little loss, but it was also very painful.
When Huang Zhong saw that he could not defeat the Qi army in one fell swoop, he stopped fighting and slowly withdrew from the battlefield with his men. When Zhang Fei saw Huang Zhong retreating, he did not chase him. He retreated twenty miles with his remaining soldiers before setting up camp.
After counting, it was found that there were less than 2,000 people left at the moment, including more than 800 wounded soldiers. Zhang Fei sent a large number of scouts to investigate the dynamics of the Eastern Wu army. On the other hand, he sent people to urgently seek help from the main force of the Qi army behind him.
After receiving Zhang Fei's request for help, Liu Bei ordered the army to advance quickly, and at the same time, he sent young general Wu Hai to support him with 5,000 cavalry. Fortunately, the Eastern Wu army did not send anyone to attack, so Zhang Fei finally waited for Wu Hai's reinforcements. It was already the morning of the next day.
He was so nervous that he didn't sleep all night. Zhang Fei was really tired and handed over the defense of the camp to the deputy general and Wu Hai. Zhang Fei decided to take a nap first. When he woke up, it was almost dark. Seeing that the Eastern Wu army did not come to attack, Zhang Fei felt much more relieved. After using supper simply, Zhang Fei arranged for people to guard the camp, while thinking about whether to continue waiting for Liu Bei's army tomorrow.
At this time, not far from his camp, a group of people lurked quietly. It was not someone else, but Huang Zhong. After a big battle with Zhang Fei yesterday, he led his army back to the camp. Military advisor Pang Tong originally intended to ask him to lead troops to attack the camp last night, but seeing that Huang Zhong was exhausted and the soldiers suffered too much losses yesterday, he canceled the plan for attacking the camp last night.
Huang Zhong had a rest today, and he offered to attack Pang Tong and Sun Quan. Pang Tong's eyes turned and felt it was feasible, so he asked him and Gan Ning to come to the camp with 10,000 troops.
Although Zhang Fei arranged people to guard the camp here, he did not expect that the Eastern Wu army would really dare to attack the camp in the middle of the night. So that night, the Qi army was in a tragedy. At midnight, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning led the army to directly attack the Qi army camp. Zhang Fei rushed to fight. He was defeated by Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, and was slashed on his left shoulder by Gan Ning. Zhang Fei retreated in pain.
He retreated, but the army was also kept. The young general Wu Hai led his army to block the Eastern Wu army and died on the spot. All five thousand cavalry were destroyed here. The battle was extremely fierce, causing the Qi army to be injured. Later, Liu Bei was furious and scolded Zhang Fei!
After scolding, Liu Bei no longer divided his troops and led the remaining troops to kill directly outside Runan City! He looked at the Eastern Wu camp from afar! He wanted to fight with Eastern Wu again here to avenge his previous shame!
