Chapter 660: The Coalition Disperses (Part II)
"Kill ......"
The sudden shouting of killing overpowered the countless insect chirping.
"Enemy Attack~"
The winged soldiers shouted in panic.
"This general Guan Yu is here, everyone must not act rashly, those who violate the order-"
"Slash!"
Guan Yu, who has been in the army for a long time, used his bloodlust to suppress the panic of the soldiers.
Seeing this, Guan Yucai issued a new order: "Form a formation to meet the enemy!" ”
His heart was full of surprise and wry smile: the military advisor really expected that the Ming army would intercept it halfway. It's just that...... Why is it so dark this night? Why?
The dark night brought great inconvenience to Guan Yu and the others, so that they only heard their voices, but they couldn't see the enemy's figure clearly, so they were born in fear. However, what Guan Yu didn't know was that it was the dark night that gave him an excellent cover, even if Huang Xu and the others had a telescope in hand, it was difficult to see the specific situation of the Wing Army clearly in the case of sporadic firelight.
"Damn bastard, this Zhuge Liang is so powerful? Can their soldiers see the road under the darkness? I only brought such a torch! ”
Speaking of this, Huang Xu was furious in his heart, but he immediately guessed that this was Zhuge Liang's arrangement: "Hmph, even if you can't catch Liu Bei this time, it's best to catch this bastard, and then give him a tiger chair package, so that he can experience what it means to be cool and special!" ”
Huang Xu thought about it, but he didn't forget the only bright spot in the ranks of the Chaoyi Army, Guan Yu, and rushed over. In the dark night, Guan Yu's red face is much easier to recognize than others.
Will Guan Yu be proud of this?
"Guan Er, stay here!"
Listening to Huang Xu's words, Guan Yu's face turned even redder, not ashamed, but angry!
"Damn it, I'm going to teach you ...... today"
Guan Yu suddenly thought that Huang Xu's martial arts were no worse than his own, and he didn't know what words to use for a while, so he couldn't help but speak. It's just that it also makes him ashamed and angry, and his face is red-
"What is a real general!"
A real general?
Far away, Huang Xu listened to this and felt disdain for this red-faced guy who was about the same age as himself.
"Death~"
The Ming army surged in, Guan Yu cut off two Ming soldiers, and when he was about to kill, Huang Xu came to him, paused slightly, and then with a roar, the Qinglong Yanyue knife was cut over.
"Guan Er, where is your Liu Da?"
Huang Xu's words made Guan Yu's movements lag for a moment: Liu Da? Who is Liu Da?
Huang Xu sensitively seized this opportunity, the phoenix tail knife and the green dragon glaive intersected, and a soft force instantly erupted, leading it away.
When a master makes a move, it is often that moment that determines the outcome of the game. So when Guan Yu came back to his senses, Fang Cai's all-out blow had already been put into flow.
"It's amazing!"
Guan Yu settled down, and the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique continued to attack Huang Xu.
"You want to drag Huang and let the Wing Army win with numbers?"
Huang Xu smiled faintly, he was not afraid of him, and he was entangled with him.
The news of the Ming army's attack soon reached the ears of Liu Bei in the back, including Zhuge Liang and others.
"Quick, let people reinforce, the Ming army is coming at this time, there must be few people, and they must all stay." Liu Bei was a little excited, and said with some concern.
Zhuge Liang was completely clear, the previous small victory did make their king swell, and he complained silently in his heart, and hurriedly stopped: "Although what the king said is reasonable, why does the king think the Ming army should do this?" ”
Seeing that Liu Bei's attention was attracted, Zhuge Liang continued: "Their goal is not General Guan, nor does they have the idea and strength to defeat us in one fell swoop, but if they can catch the king, or kill it, it will be different." Therefore, it is imperative that the king get out of danger as soon as possible and return to Bishui Pass. Only in this way will the Ming army's strategy fail and the troops will be withdrawn. ”
"This ......"
Liu Bei was still hesitating, but Chen Zhi said nervously: "What the military advisor said is extremely true, once the king has a problem, hundreds of thousands of winged troops will be left without a master, and it will be difficult to return to Jingyi, and the coalition army will be completely dispersed because of this, and there will be no power to fight back, and the imperial court will be destroyed overnight." ”
Zhuge Liang didn't expect that it would be Chen Zhi who pushed him at the critical moment, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he agreed: "Don't worry, the king has his own way to lead the Ming army, but it may take the king and General Chen to make some sacrifices." ”
"No problem."
Chen Zhi agreed to come down first, and at this time, he didn't care about the difference between monarchs and ministers. Liu Bei didn't mean to blame, he did extraordinary things at all times. And he also knew that what the two said was reasonable, thought about it, and nodded in agreement.
"Please also ask the king to take off his armor and let a soldier of similar size change it on."
After Zhuge Liang finished speaking to Liu Bei, without waiting for him to reply, he said solemnly to Chen Zhi: "I don't know if General Chen believes in Liang very much?" ”
Although Chen Zhi hesitated, he said with great affirmation in his words: "Chen believes in the military advisor. ”
Zhuge Liang was relieved, and then said with a straight face: "Since this is the case, please also ask General Chen to take the 'Great King' wearing the king's clothes and armor, as well as a group of guards, to immediately speed up and rush to Bishui Pass." And the king was mixed with the white soldiers in the army. ”
Chen was overjoyed and said, "The military advisor is really smart, okay, just do it." ”
Liu Bei watched as the two of them made a plan like this, but he had to say that this plan was really powerful. Subsequently, while Liu Bei took off his clothes and armor and asked people to change into them, Zhuge Liang pulled Chen Zhizhi aside and whispered an order.
When Chen came back, he found "Liu Bei" and "Zhuge Liang", and he didn't say much, taking the two of them and a kind of "white elite soldiers" rushing forward.
Before rushing to the head, Guan Yu and Huang Xu still had no winner.
"General Guan dragged him, and Chen took the king to go first!" Seeing Guan Yu from a distance, Chen Zhi seemed to be impatient and shouted.
Guan Yu repelled Huang Xu with a fierce sword, and then turned his head to see Chen Zhi, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others coming quickly, and immediately understood what Chen Zhi meant, and responded: "General Chen quickly escorts the eldest brother back to the pass, Guan will definitely drag this guy." ”
Huang Xu didn't have a chance to take out the binoculars to take a closer look, otherwise he would find out that Liu Bei Guan Yu was wrong. Just as he was about to turn his horse to kill him, he didn't want Guan Yu to stop the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand.
"Want to go? Ask if there is a big knife in the hand of Guan Mou? ”
Seeing that the target appeared, Huang Xu didn't want to entangle with it, but Guan Yu was like being beaten with chicken blood, and the originally low blade was raised to the peak again.
However, Huang Xu, who inherited Huang Zhong's long-term popularity, was really not afraid of such an offensive, but he inevitably lost the opportunity to capture or kill Liu Bei alive, which made him very unhappy.
"If that's the case, then you can stay!"
Huang Xu followed Guo Jia's previous plan and didn't get too entangled, but looking at the culprit in front of him, he also made up his mind to recover his losses as much as possible. With a sharp look in his eyes, Huang Xu took them one by one without hurry.
Guan Yu felt the change in Huang Xu's eyes, but at this time, he couldn't retreat, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on. It's just that he, who has already fought more than 100 times, still has enough energy?
"Kill~"
After more than ten fights, Guan Yu's knife momentum inevitably declined. However, before Huang Xu was overjoyed, the shouting of killing suddenly rose.
There is no need to look at it, Huang Xu also knows that this is the Wing Army rushing to reinforce. After all, so much time has passed, and if no reinforcements arrive, Huang Xu will wonder if the Wing Army is ready to outflank him.
"Kill!"
Huang Xu didn't want to retreat, he was ready to give it a go, and suddenly accelerated the offensive.
Guan Yu also knew his thoughts, but at this time, how could he be willing to let people ride on his head, and he also struggled to catch all the attacks one by one.
"Kill!"
"You're in luck!" Listening to the shouting and killing sound that was already close at hand, Huang Xu suddenly repelled Guan Yu with a sudden blow, leaving such a sentence, turned around and left,
Guan Yu had the intention to pursue, but Huang Xu's bravery and the treachery of the Ming army made him unable to raise such a mind. Just shouting, not letting people chase at will, and gathering some of the lost soldiers.
At this point, the plan of the wing army to enter Luoyang to the west completely failed, and more than 30,000 soldiers were lost for it, as well as a huge amount of grain and grass. The losses are not small. However, the journey home was not all smooth sailing.
In the east, there was Zhang Liao and the interception of the Ming army's mountain army, and in the west, there was Huang Xu's western army. Guo Jia naturally couldn't just let Liu Bei go, even if he couldn't cause many casualties if he caught up, it was also excellent to be able to contain some of his troops and energy.
Back at Bishui Pass, while Liu Bei restrained the soldiers, he did not forget to send a letter to Cao Cao, telling him that he was going to retreat, and the excuse was easy to find, that is, Hanzhong was attacked by the Ming army.
Whether it was true or not, Liu Bei insisted on using this as an excuse, and Cao Cao really couldn't open his mouth to stop him.
Sour jujube, Cao Jun's camp.
Cao Cao then passed the message, his heart was not calm, and asked, "How likely do you think this matter is?" ”
"No way!" The generals led by Xiahoudun naturally said that it was impossible, and at the same time cursed the wing army fiercely, feeling that they were dragging their feet and affecting their morale, even if their current situation was not very good.
Cao Cao ignored it directly, and he didn't even think to get a useful answer from them.
Cheng Yu said: "If the Ming army wants to take Hanzhong, it has to take Fufeng and Zuo Fengyi, and I haven't heard the news that these two counties have been taken before. However, the movement of the Ming army has always been elusive, and it is not impossible, but this possibility is not large, and it will not exceed thirty percent. ”
Rarely, Jia Xu sang the opposite tune, he said: "Prime Minister, I think that at least ninety percent of the Ming army is likely to be attacking Hanzhong, or it has already taken some cities in Hanzhong. ”
"How?"
Not only was Cao Cao interested, but even Cheng Yu, Xiahoudun and others were a little more curious.
Jia Xu's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "The Ming army has six armies, including east, west, north, south, and middle, as well as the navy, among which the east, west, north, south and navy are not to mention, and the Chinese army is responsible for guarding Zhuo County. Since it is responsible for guarding Zhuo County, how can the Chinese army be sparse? And with Gongsun Du's temperament, he probably won't let go of such a force, and he won't be able to change to prime minister, right? ”
Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, and said, "That's right, there is no need for such an army, it is a fool." ”
"Obviously, Gongsun Du is not a fool."
Jia Xu said this and kept silent, but Cao Cao and Cheng Yu had already come over.
"In this way, they should be the ones who attacked Hanzhong." Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao waved his hand a little frustratedly, and said: "Let them be, withdraw if you want, it's good to be able to contain a part of the Ming army, otherwise this part of the people and horses will come to Yanzhou, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
