Chapter 243: The Battle of the Suburbs (9)

Some fled east, some west, and some south...... In an instant, it turned into a plate of loose sand, and the head rat scurried up.

Seeing this scene, Guan and Zhang instantly frowned.

If, as was the case just now, the enemy forces were all together, they would have pursued them.

But now, the other party suddenly turned into pieces, turning the troops into countless individuals, Guan Yu really didn't know which direction to pursue for a while, and his face also showed embarrassment.

"Second brother! What can I do about this? They are so scattered, where should we chase? If you chase the wrong direction and let Huaxing go, it will be troublesome! Zhang Fei was anxious and took the lead in speaking.

"Well, Brother Wei is also worried about this." Guan Yu also nodded in agreement

"But I guess Huaxing did this, most likely because he wanted to use soldiers to cover his whereabouts, so that you and I couldn't find the direction of pursuit."

"Humph! This kid is so hateful! When I catch him, I have to break him into pieces! ”

After scolding Hua Xing viciously, Zhang Fei turned his attention back to the battlefield.

But this time, he had only been watching for a few seconds, and he suddenly sighed, as if he had found something, and pointed to a few military flags in the field and said

"Second brother, look at that, and that and that...... What do these flags mean? ”

Under Zhang Fei's guidance, Guan Yu soon discovered that among the enemy troops, there were five red military flags running in three different directions.

One of them is east, one is west, and the other three are all heading north.

Due to the distance, although Guan Yu couldn't see the appearance of the standard-bearer clearly, he was sure of one thing, that is, under each red flag, there was a general wearing armor.

Obviously, most of these red flags represent the generals in the army!

After discovering this secret, Guan Yu immediately raised the corners of his mouth, patted Zhang Fei's shoulder and said with a little excitement

"The third brother really has good eyesight! With these flags, we know it's time to chase there. The whole army obeyed the order, took the three flags in the north, and was sure to stop the other party before returning to the city! ”

Listening to the second brother's words, coupled with his own observations, Zhang Fei quickly guessed the role of these flags.

But there was one thing he still didn't understand, and he immediately opened his mouth to ask

"Second brother, why are you only chasing the three flags in the north? Aren't there two red flags in the east and west? ”

"Third brother, the enemy army is only a mile away from the northern city gate, so there is no need to go far and go around the east and west. According to my brother's opinion, Hua Xing, who wants to escape for his life, is definitely not in those two groups, we just need to pursue the three flags to the north with all our might! ”

After listening to Guan Yu's explanation, Zhang Fei nodded as if he didn't understand, and soon listened to him ask a second time

"Huh? Second brother, what are the intentions of the two groups of things and things? Why didn't they run down the city? ”

Guan Yu had actually thought about Zhang Fei's doubts, and soon saw him chuckle on his face

"If Brother Wei didn't guess wrong, the east and west flags must have been deliberately arranged by Huaxing! The purpose is to disperse the forces of our army so as to wait for an opportunity to counterattack. Hum! I, Guan Yunchang, am not a three-year-old child, how can I be easily fooled? ”

After shaking his head with disdain, he saw that Guan Yu didn't say anything more.

The Youzhou Army was about to be divided into three, with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Hujun each leading a team and quickly rushing towards the three red flags in the north.

……

As Guan Yu speculated, in the Huaxing Army, every red flag represents a commander.

And Huaxing is indeed among the three banners in the north, and the generals who are traveling with him at this moment are Wei Kuo and Tang Sheng.

Seeing that the Youzhou army was really as expected, and rushed towards the north in three, a sly smile instantly crossed Hua Xing's face.

After Wei Kuo and Tang Sheng, who were not far away, said "act according to the plan", Hua, Wei, and Tang parted ways on the spot, like a trident, and quickly ran north along three different roads.

……

Due to the distance, Guan Yu still couldn't see the faces of his generals clearly at this moment.

Seeing that the three red flags suddenly dispersed, in order not to let Huaxing become a fish that slipped through the net, he listened to Guan Yu's order and ordered Zhang Fei to chase the red flag on the left, Zhao Hujun to chase the right side, and he himself took the lead and rushed towards the red flag in the center.

Due to his horseback, Guan Yu's forward speed was much faster than the infantry around him.

In just half a minute, he caught up with the Red Flag Commander in front of him.

Take a look, his luck today is really good!

The general he is chasing is the commander of the enemy army, Huaxing.

As the saying goes, enemies are very red when they meet!

The moment he saw Hua Xing, the handle of the knife in Guan Yu's hand had already been clenched by him.

If Huaxing was alone at this moment, Guan Yu would definitely raise his knife without thinking about it and take this person's life on the spot.

But the fact is that at this moment, there are more than a dozen guards holding iron shields around Huaxing.

Under the protection of this group of shield soldiers, no matter how powerful Guan Yu was, it was impossible for him to kill Hua Xing on his own.

If he wants to take revenge, he must wait for the reinforcements behind him to arrive.

In order to achieve this goal, he saw Guan Yu's legs clamped hard, and rode a war horse and quickly ran forward.

After he surpassed Huaxing's position by seven or eight meters, he pulled the reins and turned the front of the car, and put the war horse across Huaxing's escape route.

Holding the Qinglong Glaive Knife with one hand, and caressing the long beard on his chest with the other, it seemed that he was planning to intercept Hua Xing with the power of one person.

Seeing Guan Yu riding a tall horse in front of him, a look of vigilance immediately flashed in Hua Xing's eyes.

But instead of slowing down, he urged the soldiers around him to run with him to the left front.

In addition to running, his eyes also looked at a small haystack twenty meters away many times, and seemed to be very interested in this haystack.

Guan Yu, who was riding on a horse, saw that Huaxing actually wanted to bypass him and continue to escape, so he immediately pulled the reins and ran to the left, chasing and shouting

"Rat, you can't run today! Do you dare to be like a man, and compete with me Guan Yunchang! ”

In the face of Guan Yu's call, Huaxing was not affected by half a point, running under his feet as usual, and running towards the haystack with all his might. But he didn't mean to let go of the other party, and said sarcastically

"Humph! People who don't keep their promises still dare to call out here? General Guan, if you hadn't violated the agreement by hiding ambushes, our army would have won a long time ago! A person who has lost his trust in the world, what face does he have to shout here? ”

After hearing Huaxing's remarks, Guan Yu was really ashamed and angry.

The originally reddened complexion was a little redder than before, and it felt like he was drunk.

But in this matter, he knew very well that he had indeed violated the agreement and made a breach of trust.

Therefore, Guan Yu did not open his mouth to argue again, but whipped the horse whip fiercely, and quickly chased after Huaxing with an angry face.
