Overlord!

Chapter 261 Brave is unstoppable
Dian Wei was the bravest of the three armies and had great ambition and integrity. Therefore, during the night attack of Zhang Fei's ten troops, he remained calm in the face of danger and faced the fire directly.

But Zhang Fei is indeed worthy of his reputation as a famous general in the martial arts temple and an enemy of ten thousand people. He can definitely be regarded as good at conquering and using troops.Although strategist Zhuge Liang asked him to attack at night with ten troops, he did not divide his thousands of men into ten troops.

On the contrary, he gathered all his own soldiers around him and formed three tuns of soldiers, totaling more than 350 people.

There are also many fierce generals among his soldiers, such as Zhang Da and Fan Qiang who followed him from Youzhou, and even Liao Hua, a native of Nanjun who heard his name and defected to him when he was fighting in Nanjun, and became his guest and tribe.

With such a large number of capable generals and soldiers, with Zhang Fei's courage, even if the enemy counterattacks with a thousand troops, Zhang Fei can still defeat him.

After all, you can't see far in a night battle. After the formation is spread out several hundred meters, the two wings will no longer be visible.In a battle at this time, the key to victory or defeat lies in the bravery and invincibility of a strong general.

Zhang Fei was even so ambitious that he planned to behead the opponent's general and defeat the entire Eastern Siege in one battle, just to show that Zhuge Fu!Not only can he win battles, but he can also achieve great victories that he cannot!
It's just that Zhang Feimou's painting is very good, but the reality is not as expected.

Ten troops attacked at night, and the fire was soaring into the sky. The opponent had no intention of fighting. Each camp and antlers were burned down, but there was no trace of the enemy. There were fleeing enemy troops everywhere, and the figures of Cao's army abandoning their helmets and armor were all in front of them.

The disastrous defeat of Cao's army during the day originally made Cao's army terrified, and the shouts of Wu Hou's army arriving made Cao's army collapse in fear.Zhang Fei broke through the three lines of defense effortlessly. If the ravine in the middle of the night had not greatly hindered his pursuit speed, he would have beheaded at least a thousand levels in this moment.Unlike now, he himself has only been beheaded twice.I am afraid that the whole army has not even captured more than a hundred levels.

I don't know how long it will take to catch up with Zhuge Pifu's gains today.

What made him even more angry was that a soldier from his side ran up to him with a bloody head and shouted in horror: "General, General, it's not good. Cao Jun launched a counterattack on the right wing. The enemy general was unstoppable. Zhang Sima had already They were killed by his formation! The three divisions under Zhang Sima's command have collapsed."

"How dare you!" Zhang Fei immediately opened his eyes, grabbed the soldiers in front of him, and roared angrily: "You dare to run away from the battle, do you really think that I can't kill a common man like you?"

Just now he was thinking about how to defeat the enemy army, defeat the eastern siege, and surpass Zhuge Pifu with his merits.

As a result, reality gave him a blow!His subordinates actually escaped from the battle, and their general Zhang Nan was beheaded?

Army Sima died in battle, which was a rare loss since the founding of the Jiangdong army.

Zhang Fei simply couldn't imagine how he would face the ridicule of the generals if he retreated in such a defeat!
So Zhang Fei threw the pawn in front of him to the ground and roared: "Take someone to meet this enemy general for a while!"

"Zhang Da, you led ten of your own soldiers to gather together and defeat them. Anyone under Zhang Nan's command who did not turn around and fight before dawn will be killed after they return to camp!"

Brutality is also a kind of majesty.

Although the pawn who was thrown to the ground was in severe pain all over his body, he still did not dare to complain and immediately got up and took Zhang Fei towards the direction of the battle.

Night battles cannot be seen, so there are many golden drums, so they are powerful.

Jiangdong's army came well prepared, so there were earth-shaking drum beats from all directions.

Cao Jun, on the other hand, was familiar with the geographical advantages and defended them with danger, so he also had an advantage.

In particular, Dian Wei knew during the day that Jiangdong Army was attacking, so he didn't drink at all today.

Under the command of the generals on both sides, tonight's battle was extremely tense.

Although Dian Wei was on the defensive, his command of the battle was completely informal and did not stick to the defensive line.

Instead, relying on the strength of their numbers, they took the initiative to launch a counterattack and attacked fiercely outwards. Only then did they kill Sima Zhangnan of the Jiangdong Army and routed his soldiers.

When Zhang Fei arrived at the battle site under the leadership of his soldiers, Cao's army had already retreated behind the defense line. Instead, a group of dozens of Zhang Fei's men who had lost their way in the dark were attacking the place fiercely, firing dense arrows and stones at random. The antlers and sawdust were flying.

Zhang Fei immediately shouted loudly and asked, "Where is the enemy general?"

The leader of the team quickly replied: "General Zhang, the enemy general seems to have gone elsewhere and is putting out fires everywhere."

Although Zhang Fei was irritable, he was also quite strategic. After hearing this, he immediately made an idea and said: "You lead your troops to continue the fierce attack and must defeat this place! Later, my personal guards will lead the army to help you defeat the enemy. If you defeat this Chu, I will personally record a great achievement for you! What is your name?"

The other party immediately replied: "General, I am Xie Jing from Linhuai, and I am the leader of the general's subordinates."

Zhang Fei respected his superiors but not his inferiors, so he didn't care much about the names of his pawns.

If this was Zhu Huan or Guan Yu, he would definitely know the names of every general under his command, especially Zhu Huan, who could memorize each of his tens of thousands of people and their families.

Of course, this is also related to the part system.Nowadays, Jiangdong has a recruitment system, and the generals have no fixed troops.

Therefore, promotion was all based on military merit. Zhang Fei said that he would give him great merit, and Xie Jing immediately became energetic.

He is Zhang Nan's subordinate. Now that Zhang Nan died in battle, if he can make a great contribution in this battle, even if he cannot be promoted to Army Sima, he can still be a fake Sima!
So after announcing his name, Xie Jing immediately put away his crossbow and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "The general is personally holding the battle for us. This victory is inevitable. The military success is in front of us. All the soldiers will charge into the battle with me! Wait!" When we return to Jiangdong in triumph, I’ll treat all my brothers to a drink!”

After speaking, he thrust out his spear, took the lead, and was the first to rush towards Cao's defense line in front.

Seeing the bravery of the team, the soldiers behind him also stepped forward one after another, followed closely by more than ten armored soldiers, and behind him, light infantry and crossbowmen holding shields circled from both sides.

After just testing a wave, they have discovered that there are not many troops defending this place. The enemy is gathered in the front, so they will definitely gain an advantage by outflanking them from both wings.

Seeing that his subordinates dared to fight and charge, Zhang Fei nodded with satisfaction, and then led more than [-] of his subordinates to hide in the darkness.

Liao Hua followed Zhang Fei and asked: "General, do you plan to wait here for the enemy generals to come and fight, then ambush them, attack from the inside and outside, and defeat the enemy?"

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "In this night battle, we don't see the situation, but the enemy general who dares to attack against the trend and kill our army's Sima is by no means an unknown person! Maybe I will be better than that Zhuge Pifu today. Kill the enemy general!"

Xie Jing is very brave. Although he is not as powerful as Zhang Fei, Dian Wei and other peerless generals, he is still a hero in the heroic family, and ordinary people cannot stop him.

He advanced forward with his spear raised, fought bloody battles, and killed two people. The soldiers behind him blocked the wall and advanced. Although there were arrows and stones on their armor, they moved forward bravely.The dozen or so soldiers felt a strong sense of oppression, and Cao Jun did not dare to fight with them even though there were dozens of them.

After all, if the sword strikes the armored soldier, the opponent may only be injured, but if the opponent's spear comes down, Cao Jun will definitely die.

Soon after the fierce battle, four or five veterans of Cao's army who dared to die were killed in the battle, and the rest were forced to retreat, no longer daring to defend the antlers.

Xie Jing immediately ordered his men to fight forward. At this time, Zhang Da gathered dozens of broken soldiers and rearranged them.

Although the organization of the defeated troops was broken up, they still had the courage to follow the brave generals and swarm forward.

Moreover, their soldiers are well-trained and equipped with strong bows and crossbows.

With so many brave warriors joining in, hundreds of Jiangdong soldiers rushed in, shooting and beheading more than ten of Cao's soldiers, instantly defeating the enemy army. From a distance, dozens of torches could be seen driving in like a long dragon. He fiercely inserted himself into Cao's army's line.

Zhang Fei's ten troops attacked and besieged. This situation happened everywhere. Zhang Fei waited in the dark for a long time. It was already late at night before General Cao finally arrived from other fronts.

At this time, Xie Jing was already attacking the sixth fortress in the rear!

This result can be said to be extremely impressive. Even if he did not have the merit of defeating the enemy general, Xie Jing's bravery was enough to be promoted. He pulled out the antlers and entered the battle, and fought forward, defeating more than half of the enemy's defenses in one night.

But the price was that he went deep into the siege for two or three miles. Dian Wei came from behind and blocked Xie Jing and Zhang Da's troops.At this time, Dian Wei was covered in blood and looked like a sealed demon. He fought hard all night, carried a long sword by himself, and killed more than [-] Jiangdong soldiers. Countless Jiangdong warriors were frightened and did not dare to face his tassel.

One of them was like this, and the five hundred sharp soldiers behind him had beheaded hundreds of people.Even if the two armies are facing each other and a thousand-man army is cut down to hundreds of levels, it is enough to severely damage an army.

What's more, at night, there is chaos and chaos.It can be said that Dian Wei single-handedly repelled Zhang Fei's night attack.

Dian Wei, who had been fighting all night, was panting and his eyes were blood red. After seeing the large number of soldiers in red robes and black armor surrounded by the firelight, they still did not surrender, and his brain had no time to think.

He roared: "If you don't want to surrender, let's all die!"

The large number of killings tonight really went to his head. In addition, the red robes of Jiangdong Army were so similar to the color of blood. When he saw this bright color, his first impression was of killing and blood.

The same is true for the soldiers behind him. It has become everyone's instinct to kill the red-robed soldiers when they see them.

Zhang Da had been holding back his strength that night. He had Xie Jing to charge into the battle and Zhang Fei to ambush the enemy. He only had to be responsible for contacting the soldiers.

So he immediately grabbed Xie Jing, who was about to go up and fight for his life, and shouted: "The crossbowmen move forward and stop the enemy!"

However, due to fighting all night, the arrows and stones carried by the soldiers were almost exhausted, and only a dozen soldiers fired the hard-attack crossbows.

Dian Wei held up his oar shield in his left hand and his long sword in his right hand. He charged forward in person and roared: "Attack the whole army, surround this enemy army, and leave no one behind!"

His roar like a tiger could be heard hundreds of meters away. Cao's troops behind the defense line also rushed out one after another and attacked Xie Jing's troops.

For a time, the situation under Xie Jing's command was extremely serious, but Zhang Fei still resisted the urge to attack immediately.

He believed that his violence was enough to intimidate the entire army. The soldiers would never dare to flee when they knew that he was ambushing nearby.

The situation was just as Zhang Fei expected. Xie Jing and Zhang Da were already fighting with all their might at this moment, each fighting with their spears.

One man fights for his life, but ten men are invincible.Even if a hundred men fight for their lives, it is even more difficult for a thousand men to attack!

Hundreds of Cao's troops surrounded the more than [-] Jiangdong soldiers and attacked them for several times but failed to defeat them.

Dian Wei was completely furious and shouted: "The enemy army is just a fight between trapped beasts. All officers and men will fight to the death with me and kill this beast!"

With his rage, he no longer spared any strength and overwhelmed the entire army. He himself even rushed to the front of the fierce battle.

He threw down his oar and shield, drew his sword in his left hand, and held a halberd in his right hand, slashing and stabbing, moving forward in all directions!
Nearly half of the more than a hundred Jiangdong soldiers were killed, especially Zhang Da who was killed by Dian Wei. The defeated troops gathered behind him were finally frightened. At this moment, even if they could face General Zhang's violent military tactics, they did not want to face this beast of Cao's army.

Seeing that the array of soldiers who were holding on were already in a mess, Zhang Fei knew that he could not wait any longer, so he immediately stood up with his sword in his hand and shouted: "Soldiers, kill the generals and seize the flag, right now! Attack with the whole army!"

After finishing his words, he was the first to speak out. He had been recharging his energy for most of the night. It was not something that the exhausted Cao Jun could resist. He was like a tiger descending the mountain!The former will be immediately killed.

Behind him, more than three hundred soldiers suddenly burst out of the darkness, and there was even more darkness. The darkness greatly enlarged the size of the army.

Dian Wei's men suddenly turned their heads and saw a seemingly endless amount of enemy heads in the darkness.

When the two armies met, Dian Wei's troops were even more invincible, and soldiers kept falling.

Zhang Fei and Liao Hua rushed into the battle in person, aiming directly at Dian Wei, who was covered in blood under the banner!
Dian Wei's personal guards and selected soldiers immediately pulled Dian Wei and said: "Colonel, the enemy is coming well prepared. We are facing enemies from both sides, so retreat quickly!"

If we retreat at this time, we will only lose a hundred people at most, and the remaining soldiers who have fled can be reunited tomorrow.

But Dian Wei is already jealous, how can he escape without fighting?
He immediately roared: "Retreating at this time can be said to be a sign of cowardice to the enemy. The Eastern Siege will no longer be able to regroup and counterattack the enemy. We can only allow the enemy to run wild and gather troops to attack everywhere. By tomorrow, the front line will be eroded everywhere." The enemy general is on the road, as long as he kills the enemy general, today's siege will be solved immediately! You continue to attack, I will lead my personal guards to kill the enemy general!"

Dian Wei's men were all selected by Cao's army and were the elite of the army. Otherwise, he would not have been able to kill hundreds of Jiangdong soldiers and defeat the attacks of several Jiangdong troops tonight.

After hearing Dianwei's words, everyone became brave and fought desperately.

And Dian Wei personally picked up the heavy halberd and went straight to Zhang Fei!Zhang Fei roared forward, shouting a challenge, which was too conspicuous.

Dian Wei threw three or four small halberds along the way, killing several Jiangdong soldiers who were blocking the front. Then he raised his halberd and rushed towards Zhang Fei, shouting loudly: "Young Dian Wei is here, please leave your name when you come!"

Zhang Fei had already seen Dian Wei's burly body. He immediately raised his spear and moved forward to fight against him. He shouted: "The one who kills you is Zhang Yide from Yan! You thief, come and die quickly."

The two men met metal and iron, and the harsh sound roared instantly, resounding throughout the battlefield.

However, before the sound fell, the two men immediately raised their blades and continued the fight!

Both of them are fierce generals. Their attacks are broad and powerful. Within three feet of their weapons, there is no place for other soldiers to stay.

But after fighting fiercely for more than twenty rounds, the two of them were evenly matched!
The fierceness of the challenge and the exquisiteness of attack and defense caused countless soldiers to have no intention of fighting, and they all released their troops to watch the battle.

Zhang Fei fought on a whim, and even attacked the target of the siege. He threw down his bag in excitement and shouted: "I didn't expect that among the thieves, there are also fierce generals like you. Come and fight to the fullest!"

Dian Wei was already panting like a wounded beast. After all, he had been fighting fiercely all night, and the weapon in his hand was not as good as Zhang Fei's. His left shoulder had been severely injured by Zhang Fei's sword, leaving a deep wound that was visible to the bone.

It was this huge trauma that spurred blood and inspired Zhang Fei's bloodlust and fanaticism. He was bound to personally challenge the enemy generals to defeat Cao's army!
Sweat and blood left on his forehead, dyeing the eyelids of his eyes red. Without any nonsense, he immediately pounced on Zhang Fei like a tiger.

He opened and closed his heavy halberd, unstoppable.Zhang Fei just likes to defeat the enemy force, and he will use his strength to defeat it!

As the two men performed their unique skills, the onlookers finally couldn't help but cheer and cheer for their general.

The two fought fiercely for dozens of rounds, from dawn to dawn.Each of them is wearing several armors, and if they were not protected by sophisticated black armor, they would probably die several times.

Dian Wei's injuries were obviously more serious than Zhang Fei's. Even though he was wearing two layers of armor, his left rib was pierced by Zhang Fei's blade and his ribs were broken.

Of course, Zhang Fei wasn't much better either. He liked to use force to overwhelm the enemy. Both of his hands were torn apart and blood stained both arms. His right shoulder was hit so hard that it almost broke.

It was entirely because of his strength that he was able to stand here and continue fighting.

But when Cao Jun saw that his general was covered in blood and could no longer tell whether it belonged to the enemy soldiers or Dian Wei's own, they did not dare to let him fight any longer. When the two sides were separated, they rushed up and dragged Dian Wei back.

Zhang Fei naturally did not want his military exploits to be interrupted, so he immediately roared forward, killed several Cao soldiers in a row, and led his troops to pursue Cao Jun.

It's a pity that Cao Jun's support from Xia Houyuan arrived first, and his men really didn't have the strength to fight another battle.

The battle of the eastern siege ended with Cao Jun's joint defeat.
