Chapter 107: Fight to the death
"Why?" Cao Ang stood up suddenly, glared at the herald and reprimanded: "An army of tens of thousands of people can disappear out of thin air? ”
The herald was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and trembled: "Dayi Mountain is deserted for a hundred miles...... Our scouts didn't dare to get too close...... Hence ......"
In this era, the investigation methods can only rely on people to follow, and in densely populated places, scouts can also disguise themselves as ordinary people, but in the barren mountains, there is usually no figure, and it is useless to put on makeup.
The enemy's army also has scouts cruising in all directions, scouting and anti-tracking.
Cao Ang frowned and took two steps back and forth, and scolded: "Send more scouts, investigate and report again!" ”
Everything they arranged was to lure the Pengcheng army to attack Dongguan County, and now the Pengcheng army has been lured out, but it did not go straight to Dongguan County as expected, where did this go?
There must be a trick in it that he doesn't know about.
"No!"
……
In Dayi Mountain, Guan Yu led the army to abandon the main road and take the difficult mountain path.
"How far is it ahead?" Guan Yu was also walking, and asked a strong man next to him in a deep voice.
That strong man is Zhou Cang's original minion.
At that time, Zhou Cang Pei Yuanshao led his troops to rob Yueshan Village, and there were more than a dozen minions left in the cottage to guard.
Later, Pei Yuanshao was killed, Zhou Cang was taken away, and the dozen or so minions had no backbone, so they automatically dispersed.
Fearing that Cao's army would continue to clear the territory, Yanzhou could no longer stay, so they fled to the Xuzhou border.
He was captured alive by the defenders of Pengcheng, so he was recruited as a guide.
"Back to the general, it's not far, there are still thirty miles ahead." The strong man replied with a smile: "Our cottage is near here, and every day the king orders me to come to patrol the mountain, and the mountain road is very familiar, and I can't make a mistake." ”
"yes, yes, we can't go wrong here with our eyes closed."
A few minions hurriedly answered.
"Where's your king?" Guan Yu asked casually.
"The king of my family has been captured by the wicked!" The strong man's eyes were slightly red.
Guan Yu: "??? ”
Who is the wicked person?
"Rapid march, straight to the Ten Mile Valley." Guan Yu ordered loudly.
Guan Yu sent his minions to lead the scouts to explore the terrain around Dongguan County, but accidentally discovered the ambush of Xiahou Yuan, which was obviously waiting for them to harass in the rear while they attacked the city.
That's why they hid their whereabouts, that is, they had to clear this ambush army first, and then attack Dongguan County with confidence.
Guan Ping, the son of Guan Yu, led one hundred and ten capable soldiers to be the vanguard and open the way in front.
After only ten miles of travel, I found a secret whistle.
After quickly clearing it, Guan Yu's tens of thousands of troops quietly approached the Ten Mile Valley.
At this time, the sun is about to set, and the sunset is like blood.
Sure enough, hundreds of tents were set up in the valley, and some people were burying pots and cooking.
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and sneered.
From the beginning, he couldn't understand Yanzhou's carving insect skills that lured snakes out of the hole?
All he has to do is to plan the plan, eat this ambush first, and then recover Dongguan County with his hands.
He pondered that he led an army of 10,000 people and suddenly attacked the 3,000 people who were burying the pot in front of him, and he must kill all of them, leaving no one behind, then it would be considered a complete victory.
"Attack!" Guan Yu stepped on the war horse, and with an order, he personally led 5,000 people to charge into the valley.
Two other lieutenants each led about 2,500 men to outflank them, and the army poured into the valley like a tide.
Xiahou Yuan had been in ambush here for several days, and he was always waiting for the news of Pengcheng's army attacking the city, and then he would go out and harass behind enemy lines.
As a result, I didn't expect the scout to report, but I suddenly heard the sound of killing outside the tent in my ears, so I couldn't help but be shocked.
In a hurry, he hurriedly came out of the tent and saw that the overwhelming enemy army had already entered the camp.
Xiahou Yuan hurriedly got on his horse and commanded to meet the enemy, but unfortunately they were defenseless and completely caught off guard, it was simply a one-sided slaughter.
Many were killed before they even had their weapons in their hands.
Xiahou Yuan was in a hurry, at this time there was chaos around him, his men were killed on their backs, and they couldn't organize the retreat of the army, so he rushed towards the enemy general with a gun in a hurry.
He wants to take the enemy alive, and maybe there is a glimmer of life.
When he saw the appearance of the enemy general clearly, Xiahou Yuan's heart suddenly cooled to the extreme.
He knew Guan Yu, and he had already seen this person's bravery when the princes' alliance was fighting against Dong Zhuo, and he knew that he was probably not an opponent.
But he was now surrounded by a heavy siege, and there was not a single soldier around him.
Seeing the tragic death of the soldiers around him one by one, he thought that this battle might lead to the loss of Dongguan County and cause Cao Ang to be in danger, so he aroused his 100% blood.
Fight!
I'd rather die than pull Guan Yu to die together!
He didn't care about his body, and rushed towards Guan Yu with a gun.
Guan Yu sat upright on the horse safely, his eyes opened slightly, and two words burst out between his teeth: "Look for death!" ”
Although he didn't know who the future would be, there were few generals in the world who he could afford.
The two generals fought, and in the blink of an eye, they fought a hundred and ten rounds.
Guan Yu is worthy of being a super-first-class military general in the world, although Xiahou Yuan has the heart of death and fights hard, but he is too far from Guan Yu, and he has several injuries on his body at this moment.
Moreover, Guan Yu's big knife is powerful, fast and ruthless, and seeing that there are more than a dozen rounds, he will inevitably be cut off the horse.
Just when Xiahou Yuan's heart was like ashes and he was fighting the trapped beasts, suddenly forty or fifty war horses galloped behind him, and the first one was the leader of his guards.
"General, let's go!" The leader of the guards shouted.
They were ambushing here to harass behind enemy lines, so they brought a lot of horses, but at this time they could only gather these forty or fifty.
The guards galloped and rushed straight towards Guan Yu.
Guan Yu is certainly powerful, but the pro-soldier didn't dare not hide even when people and horses collided.
He turned his horse to one side and cut his soldier in two.
Xiahou Yuan was stunned, and two more soldiers rushed over, blocking in front of him, shouting: "General, go quickly!" ”
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen pro-soldiers stood in front of Guan Yu as human shields.
Guan Yu slashed horizontally with his hand, and the two heads were cut off.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the remaining twenty or so horsemen fled backwards in their arms around Xiahou Yuan.
At this time, Xiahou Yuan already understood that even if he fought hard, it would be impossible for him to hurt Guan Yu in the slightest, and he would just die in vain, if he didn't escape, the guards who saved him would also die in vain.
"Follow me!" After Guan Yu killed all the pro-soldiers in front of him, Xiahou Yuan had already broken out of the encirclement and ran out of the land with a stone's throw away.
There were only four or five horsemen left, and the rest had already died in the chaos.
Guan Yu quickly gathered more than 100 cavalry and chased after Xiahou Yuan.
He was arrogant, and he originally wanted to kill Cao Jun, and he didn't leave anyone behind.
At this time, the soldiers were about to be slaughtered, and if the enemy generals were let go, the victory would be greatly reduced.
Xiahou Yuan was fleeing for their lives, and they were naturally in a hurry, and Guan Yu led the cavalry to chase after a stick of incense, and did not close the distance.
But when they chase like this, they can always chase each other and have no way to escape.
By this time it was already dark.
"What's up ahead?" Guan Yu asked the minion next to him while chasing.
"General Hui, according to the map they draw, this mountain is called Moon Mountain." One of the soldiers replied.
