Although Guan Yu rushed into the enemy's large array with 7,000 men without hesitation, the number of the two sides was too different. While facing Guan Yudian's army, the Gao Lan Department still had a lot of spare strength, so they divided some troops to pursue the remnants of Zhao Yun, Xiahoudun and other troops.

Therefore, Zhao Yun and other troops retreated with great difficulty, and from time to time some soldiers died under the enemy's swords and guns.

In the end, after evacuating to a safe place, the three groups of Xiahoudun, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong combined, and there were less than 10,000 survivors.

Among the Cao army units that went to war, only Xu Huang's troops were in a better situation. After Xu Huangbu entered the battlefield, he was fighting with Han Mengbu from beginning to end, and firmly held the upper hand. When retreating, the main thing he faced was only the pursuit of Han Meng's army, and he did not fight with the army of Gao Lan's army, so Xu Huang's army only paid the price of less than a thousand men and successfully broke away from the battlefield.

After fighting their way out, the generals will look back from the hillside and see a sea of corpses and blood!

Over there, Guan Yu and his palace army had been heavily surrounded by Yuan Shao's army, and the five thousand cavalry had also broken into the battlefield at this time, rushing towards the battle formation of the palace army with lightning speed.

"Archer, shoot!"

There were a thousand archers in the palace army, and although the number was scarce, the bows and arrows fired could not withstand the impact of the cavalry, but after all, it was better than nothing.

After a volley, less than 100 soldiers were killed by arrows in the opposing cavalry formation, but the speed of their charge did not slow down at all. At this time, the distance between the cavalry team and the palace army was much closer, and it could be said that it was only a stone's throw away.

The commander of this cavalry team is Yuan Shao's general Guo Yuan, who is proficient in horsemanship and quite brave, and now he is the first horse, carrying a big knife and rushing into the palace army array to slash and slash.

I saw that the big knife in Guo Yuan's hand continued to slash horizontally and vertically, splitting many Cao soldiers into two pieces one after another.

And the knights behind him also raised their guns and immediately joined the slaughter.

Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes widened angrily, it was not okay to be killed like this, although it was said that the palace army was destined to die, but it was also burdened with the mission of buying time for the army to escape. If the damage continues at this rate, I am afraid that it will not be long before the enemy army will be able to break through the defense line and chase down the army in the rear.

Guan Yu raised the Qinglong Knife, drove the Red Rabbit Horse, and went straight to Guo Yuan.

Guan Yu saw that Guo Yuan had killed the soldiers of the Cao army again and again, and his performance was very conspicuous, coupled with his extraordinary armor, so he decided that he must be the commander of this cavalry team!

Since it's the commander, then kill it!

Guo Yuan did not protect himself like Gao Lan, but fought at the forefront of the team, so when he was targeted by Guan Yu, he was destined to end as tragic as Chun Yuqiong.

Seeing Guan Yu coming, the arrogant Guo Yuan didn't care, but regarded Guan Yu as a low-hanging fruit.

Guo Yuan lifted the big knife and faced Guan Yu, it was really a big knife in front of Guan Gong.

Guan Yu lifted the Qinglong Knife and slashed towards Guo Yuan, the knife momentum was mixed with the sound of the wind, and it was incomparably powerful.

Seeing such a heavy knife momentum, Guo Yuan was immediately shocked, and instantly knew that compared with the other party, his strength was very different.

barely raised the big knife, and it was able to withstand Guan Yu's first blow.

But Rao is like this, and Guo Yuan is already frightened at this moment. Although Guo Yuan tried his best to resist Guan Yu's attack, when the opponent's big knife smashed into his big knife, Guo Yuan understood what Mount Tai was overpowering, and only then did he understand what it meant to be unstoppable. I saw that the moment the two knives intersected, every muscle in Guo Yuan's body was trembling violently.

It's not a force you can match at all! No matter how much strength Fang Cai used himself, I am afraid that he is just a headless corpse now.

Guo Yuan is usually conceited and brave, but in front of Guan Yu, he can only have a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart. With all his might, he may be able to barely resist the first knife of the enemy general in front of him, but he will definitely not be able to resist his second sword.

In the face of this sense of powerlessness, Guo Yuan retreated, and he subconsciously wanted to ride his horse back.

Anyway, there are 5,000 cavalry under his command, so I don't believe that he can't be taken care of alone.

However, Guan Yu didn't give Guo Yuan the slightest chance to retreat, and just when he was afraid, Guan Yu's second knife had already been slashed.

This knife was crisp and sharp, compared to the previous first knife, the knife momentum was even more violent, and it directly cut Guo Yuan's waist into two pieces.

Cut in two, without dragging mud and water!

Yuan Shao, who was sitting in the distance watching the battle, saw that another of his subordinates would be killed by General Cao in seconds, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink sharply. That hateful Cao Apu, how could there be so many fierce people under his command?

Well? Long bare face? I think I've seen this guy somewhere. Isn't this Liu Bei's righteous brother Guan Yu, why did he throw himself into Cao Apu's hands, and he was willing to go to the palace of death for him?

Guo Yuan died, and the five thousand cavalry did produce a lot of chaos. It's a pity that the cavalry is not as good as the infantry, Zhao Yunneng took advantage of Chun Yuqiong to be killed by himself, but in the face of such a cavalry force, even if the other party is in a panic, it is not easy for the army to take advantage.

At this moment, Guan Yu could only order the 1,000 archers who were in the rear of the palace army to step up their archery and strive to shoot more cavalry.

"Don't panic, keep your formation and continue to kill." However, not long after Guo Yuan was killed, a high-pitched voice sounded, gradually stabilizing the cavalry team that had fallen into chaos.

The speaker was Wang Men, the deputy general of this cavalry team, and now that Guo Yuan was dead, he naturally took over the command of the cavalry team.

Guan Yu saw that the cavalry team of Wangmen was gradually calming down, and he couldn't help but kill them.

If it's not enough to kill the main general, then what about killing the main general and the deputy general together?

It's a pity that with Guo Yuan's previous experience, how could the royal family, whose strength is still not comparable to Guo Yuan's, not learn to be obedient, and immediately ordered the cavalry around him to protect himself layer by layer and not give Guan Yu a chance to get close.

Guan Yu is a human being and not a god after all, and it is really too difficult to kill a guarded general in the enemy formation! After all, the words "taking the head of a general among the armies is like probing for something" is just an exaggeration after all. At the moment, although the Qinglong Glaive Knife in Guan Yu's hand danced again and again, slashing and killing many cavalrymen, it was always blocked on the outside of the royal gate, and he couldn't get close to him.

On the contrary, there are more and more cavalry pressing towards him, and if he is slightly negligent, he may be injured or even killed.

At this point in the battle, nearly half of the palace army had been damaged, not only the cavalry team, but also the army of the Gao Lan Department was also killed.

Thanks to Guan Yu's killing of Guo Yuan earlier, it slightly boosted morale and slowed down the slaughter speed of the enemy army, otherwise, this palace army might be dead now.

Although Guan Yu's Green Dragon Glaive Knife was still dancing, its power had weakened a lot. Killing people also takes effort, since he led the palace army into the battlefield, Guan Yu has killed no less than hundreds, and at this time, he can't help but feel a little tired.

In the end, Guan Yu could no longer maintain all his attention, and in a single accident, he was accidentally stabbed by the enemy's spear between the ribs, and blood suddenly flowed out.
