Li Dian is twenty-eight years old.

According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Cao Cao attacked Dong Zhuo, Li Dian followed Cao Cao and fought against the east and west.

In fact, Li Dian initially followed his father Li Gan to follow Cao Cao. When Cao Lu fought, Li Gan was killed by Xue Lan and Li Feng, the general under Lu Bu's tent, because he refused to surrender. Later, Li Dian helped his cousin Li Zheng kill the enemy and take revenge, but soon after, Li Zheng died in the battlefield.

In order to commemorate Li Gan and his son, Cao Cao appointed Li Dian as the prefect of Lihu and the general of the Central Army.

Historically, Li Dian was responsible for logistics transportation until the Battle of Bowangpo that he officially stepped on the front line.

Now, Li Dian has stepped on the front line early.

Although he was a veteran of many battles, he had always been on the battlefield as a deputy general before that and had never had the experience of leading a single army.

This time he was ordered to encircle Liu Chuang and was quite careful along the way.

He is not unfamiliar with Liu Chuang's name.

Since Liu Chuang became a part of Qingzhou, Li Dian has been paying close attention to Liu Chuang's movements.

Li Dian knew that Liu Chuang was unparalleled in courage and strength. So he did not dare to take it lightly from the beginning.

He ordered his clan brother Li Sheng to lead his vanguard army to attack first, intending to cut off Liu Chuang's way south before Liu Chuang noticed. However, Li Dian did not expect that after Mi Zhu's counterattack caused Liu Chuang to successfully capture Tan County, he immediately sent Xiong Ju army to go south to block the enemy.

It was late autumn and the weather turned cold.

Li Sheng's troops encountered Gao Shun on the banks of the Yishui River, and the two sides immediately started a fierce battle.

After Li Dian learned the news, he immediately brought 8,000 troops to help. Liu Chuang's troops appeared at Yishui Beach, indicating that Liu Chuang had seen the flaws. However, he did not retreat north and continued to move south, which showed that Zang Ba had captured Jiqiu and cut off the way for Liu Chuang to retreat north.

At the same time, Zhu Ling led his troops to Xiangben and stationed troops in the west bank of Yishui.

Li Dian knew very well that if he could not stop Liu Chuang, once Liu Chuang broke out, it would inevitably pose a huge threat to Cao Cao.

"Tell me the order, and the three armies will attack, and be sure to delay the trespasses until dark."

When it was dark, Zang Ba and Zhu Ling's vanguard army would probably be able to reach Yishui Beach.

Li Dian did not dare to slacken at this time. After arriving at the battlefield, he immediately ordered the three armies to attack and launch a fierce attack on the Xiong Ju army.

After one and a half years of training, Xiong Jujun has amazing combat power.

Gao Shun rode on the horse, holding a sword in his hand, his face as deep as water, and seemed extremely calm.

He kept issuing orders, and teams of Xiongju soldiers rushed into the battlefield and cut Cao's army into several sections. But he was unwilling to dispatch the cavalry. Even if Xu Chu asked him again and again, Gao Shun still suppressed the 600 cavalry in the rear army, which made Xu Chu feel extremely unhappy.

"Xiao Gong, why don't you let me attack?"

Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "Cao's army has not been in chaos, and Li Dian has obviously not used any further action.

Zhongkang, the cavalry in your hands is my most elite soldier now. If you attack at this time, even if you win, you will win miserably and you will inevitably suffer a huge loss.

Feixiongqi is the army that the emperor attaches most importance to."

After hearing this, Xu Chu was speechless.

Gao Shun was right. The flying bear cavalry in his hand was the most elite cavalry in Liu Chuang's hands. All the soldiers in the army had hundreds of enemies, and even if they lost one person, it would make people feel heartbroken. However, seeing that Cao's army was fierce in offensive, Xu Chu felt a little unbearable in his heart.

Li Dian was also a little surprised when he was supervising the battle in the Central Army.

The two sides had fought for nearly half an hour. Judging from the combat power shown by Xiong Jujun, the opponent obviously had a second move and had not used it.

"Who knows who is the leader on the opposite side?"

The generals around him looked at each other, but no one could answer.

After a long time, a young general said: "It is rumored that the thief sent troops this time, only two generals Xu Chu and Xu Sheng were brought, probably one of them."

Li Dian frowned slightly, and couldn't help but sigh in secret: I never thought that there was such a general in the treason army.

Fortunately, he has produced all the elite this time, otherwise, he may have suffered a defeat...

Just when Li Dian was surprised by the combat effectiveness of Xiong Jujun, he suddenly came to report: "Li Zhonglang, the thief has led his troops to abandon the city and is approaching quickly towards Yishui Beach. Please make a decision quickly."

This news made Li Dian feel sad.

"How many troops are there in the trespass?"

"From that attitude, there should be six or seven thousand people..."

After hearing this, Li Dian couldn't help but hesitate.

He knew that if Liu Chuang's main force arrived, the situation of the battle might have changed.

"Tell me the order, and the cavalry will attack."

Li Dian still holds a cavalry in his hand.

Seeing that Liu Chuang's main force was about to arrive, he did not dare to hesitate anymore and immediately ordered the cavalry to attack.

However, just as the moment Li Dian cavalry attacked, Gao Shun also issued an order, and the Feixiong cavalry attacked...

Xu Chu took the lead and led the flying bear cavalry to rush into the battlefield.

This flying bear rider can be said to have condensed all the efforts of Liu Chuang.

Six hundred flying bears, horses, armors, and armors. They all have spears and big swords. When they run, they are even more like a sea of ​​fire rolling, which is terrifying.

The Han Dynasty was red, so the flying bear cavalry were all full of fiery red armor, fiery red horse armor, and fiery red battle robe.

Even the spear was painted with red paint, and from a distance it looked like a ball of flame.

Cao's army was forced to retreat repeatedly by Xiong Jue's army. Seeing that their cavalry were moving, they couldn't help but feel a lot of morale. But before their joy disappeared, the flying bear cavalry appeared in front of them. Xu Chuwu's nine-ring golden-backed sword, and the sword clouds rolled. Wherever he passed, Cao's army was killed and turned over.

Even though Li Dian's cavalry rushed into the battlefield, they could not stop the impact of the Feixiong Cavalry.

Xu Chu killed six Cao generals in a row immediately, and his fiery red battle robe was soaked in blood, making him even more weird in the sun.

At the same time, Gao Shun ordered the entire Xiong Ju army to attack.

In an instant, the Yishui Beach was covered with a sea of ​​fire... Under the leadership of Gao Shun and Xu Chu, although Li Dian had the advantage in his troops, he retreated one after another, and saw that he could no longer resist the Xiong Ju army.

In the distance, dust and smoke rolled.

It is obviously Liu Chuang’s main force and is about to arrive.

Seeing this, Li Dian knew that he could not resist it, so he quickly ordered the troops to withdraw and quickly retreated to Wuyuan.

When Liu Chuang led his troops to arrive, the war had come to an end. On the Yishui River, corpses were everywhere, and the Xiong Ju army was making the final attack.

Liu Chuang immediately ordered Xu Sheng and Xiahou Lan to lead Fei Xiong Wei into the battlefield.

Feixiongwei was like the last straw that overwhelmed the camel. With the addition of Xiahou Lan and Xu Sheng, Cao's army was completely defeated and stopped resisting.

However, Li Dian has led the main force to withdraw from the battlefield.

Liu Chuang pulled his horse over the river beach, glanced across the battlefield, and said in a deep voice: "Tell me the order Xiaogong, don't pursue me."

Quickly clear the battlefield, gather the horses, and evacuate the Yishui River beach. Before dark, we must lead our troops to Liangcheng... Hengruo, Zhongkang."

"Here!"

"You two lead the flying bear cavalry and set out first and drive away Liangcheng."

Liangcheng County, which is the Pi County of Xuzhou in later generations, is also a must-pass way to go south to Xia Pi.

Liu Chuang had recovered from his calmness at this time. He knew that although he had repelled Li Dian, it did not mean that the danger had passed.

Zang Ba and Zhu Ling have led their troops to come. Once they learn that they have broken through, they will definitely follow and chase after them... If it were normal, Liu Chuang would not mind fighting with Cao's army again. But the current situation is not suitable for a decisive battle between him and Cao's army. After all, the lonely army has gone deep and experienced the defeat of Jiqiu, the morale of the soldiers is not high. Especially the three thousand soldiers and horses under Mi Zhu are now in an unstable state and do not have any combat power at all, and they cannot have a decisive battle with Cao's army on the banks of the Yishui River.

First occupy Liangcheng, then echo Xia Pi, and then become invincible.

Only after the soldiers stabilized their morale could they fight the Cao army.

Regarding this failure...yes, in Liu Chuang's opinion, his troops have failed this time.

According to Liu Chuang's original plan, he could restrain Cao Cao's troops with Donghai County, so that he could not attack Xia Pi with all his strength. As long as he could last for two or three months, Cao Cao would automatically withdraw his troops. At the same time, Liu Chuang had sent people to Jiangdong and asked Sun Ce to send troops.

Anyway, he wanted to take this opportunity to keep Xia Pi, but now it seems...

Since ancient times, marching and fighting have always been resisting the enemy.

Liu Chuang really couldn't understand why Lu Bu abandoned Pengcheng and chose to fight Cao's army in Xiapi.

You must know that once Pengcheng is lost, Xia Pi will be an isolated city.

Where did Lu Bu get the confidence that he could defeat Cao's army outside Xiapi City?

Anyway, Lu Bu couldn't understand what he thought...

In the battle of Yishuitan, Xiong Ju's army killed nearly 2,000 Cao's army.

But Xiong Jujun's losses were also huge, with more than 300 people.

After Liu Chuang confirmed the number, he couldn't help but take a breath and felt very heartbroken.

Three hundred for two thousand, it seems good. But the problem is that these three hundred people are the elite in Liu Chuang's hands.

The Xiong Ju Army had only more than 3,000 people in total, and the loss was one-tenth of the battle. This was really a bit sad for Liu Chuang...

Originally, he planned to conquer Cao's army by harassment after capturing Tan County.

I expected that as soon as I arrived in Xuzhou, I fought head-on to fight with Cao's army, and the losses were quite heavy.

However, no matter how heartache, I have to continue to go south, because this is Liu Chuang’s only life at present... After arriving in Xia Pi and Lu Bu, I must find a way to bring the camp over. Otherwise, the loss would be too great to send troops to Xuzhou this time...
To be continued...
