Chapter 84: Guo Yan holds a grudge
was suddenly attacked, which made Lu Bu distraught.
Although he had already expected that even if he took the south gate, he might not be able to escape safely, but when he really encountered an ambush, he was also a little at a loss.
At this moment, Lu Bu suddenly discovered Guo Bi, as Dong Zhuo's important general, Guo Bi and Lu Bu had met several times.
Looking at Guo Yan's appearance, he seemed to be the commander of this army, so Lu Bu decided to take Guo Yan first, and then try to find a way out.
Because the soldiers in front of him were all soldiers, Lu Bu really couldn't see a way out, so he could only choose to capture the other party's generals first, so as to seek a breakthrough.
"Cao Xing, Hao Meng, rush with me, Hou Cheng will cover for you."
Lu Bu ordered loudly, and at this time, the red rabbit suddenly raised his front hooves high, Lu Bu grabbed the reins with his left hand, and waved the Fang Tian painting halberd with his right hand, looking full of momentum.
The subordinates who were a little demoralized when they saw their own attack immediately became highly motivated, and with such a fierce general under the leadership, what was there to fear.
Cao Xing and other generals and the surrounding soldiers should have heard in unison, and the loud sound made Guo Yan's soldiers stunned.
Guo Yan also noticed the abnormality here, he turned his head to look at Lu Bu's location, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out at this look.
Because he found that Lu Bu was in the lead, no one could stop him, and the cavalry behind him followed in a triangular pyramid formation, rushing straight towards his position.
Because Guo Yan's soldiers formed a formation in a hurry, the formation formed was very loose, and Lu Bu easily tore a gap.
"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows quickly."
Guo Yan ordered loudly.
As the commander of the army, he couldn't run away easily, so he could only try to block Lu Bu's charge.
"General, there are many of our soldiers on the side, if you release the arrows now"
A member of the general came to Guo Yan's side to report, but was interrupted by Guo Yan before he finished speaking.
"I command you to release the arrows immediately."
It seemed that in order to express his determination, Guo Yan even drew the sword at his waist, as if if this person did not agree, Guo Yan would cut off his head.
"Yes."
The general immediately turned and left, and soon the direction of the rain of arrows was aimed at Lu Bu's charging troops.
"Kill."
In the face of the baptism of bows and arrows, Lu Bu was not afraid, and even the soldiers behind him became not afraid of death, and the speed of the charge seemed to have accelerated a little.
On the other hand, on Guo Yan's side, the friendly troops behind him kept shooting arrows, and the robes around him were shot by their own arrows from time to time, and the Lu Bu army in front of him was so powerful, soon some people couldn't stand it and began to flee the direction of Lu Bu's advance.
If there is one, there will naturally be a second, after all, they don't want to die yet, and it is impossible for them to be loyal enough to die for Li Dao and Guo Yan.
Guo Yan never expected that his order would not stop Lu Bu's momentum, but would help him sweep away all the obstacles in front of him.
Guo Yan's soldiers dispersed, so that Lu Bu quickly came to the range of 100 meters in front of Guo Yan.
Between Lu Bu and Guo Yan, only Guo Yan's personal army of more than 1,000 people remained.
"Kill!"
Lu Bu roared and took the lead in cutting down one person, and Cao Xing and the others also quickly arrived to join the battle group.
Guo Yan's personal soldiers were not bad, but it was difficult to support Lu Bu's cavalry troops, and Lu Bu began to gradually approach Guo Yan.
"No, I have to go, or I'll die here."
Seeing that every time Lu Bu waved Fang Tian's halberd, blood would splash around him, Guo Yan's heart trembled.
It's not that he hasn't seen the battlefield, and he has personally killed the enemy many times before, but seeing Lu Bu's current appearance, Guo Yan felt boundless fear.
Guo Yan is different from Li Dao, he knows that he is by no means Lu Bu's opponent, so he has no idea of fighting Lu Bu at all.
Seeing that more and more of his own soldiers were falling, Guo Yan finally couldn't resist the fear in his heart and began to flee backwards.
Guo Yan fled, and the people around him still followed Guo Yan for unknown reasons.
These people have led more people, so that the Guo Yan soldiers who are now fighting against Lu Bu have also begun to flee.
"Hmph, gutsless rats."
Lu Bu looked disdainfully in the direction of Guo Yan's escape, but he was powerless to pursue, he only had 3,000 people, and he had lost more than 1,000 people in the previous battle, and it was too difficult to catch up with Guo Yan.
So Lu Bu immediately made a decision, turned his horse's head, and rushed towards the bow and arrow troops.
As long as the bow and arrow troops are eliminated, then the rest is easy to say, Lu Bu is all cavalry, without the obstruction of these archers, they can easily escape from here.
The 2,000-strong archer army scattered and fled under a round of Lu Bu's charge, and Lu Bu also took this opportunity to rush out.
But now he still can't put his mind at ease, although Guo Yan fled, and some of Guo Yan's soldiers scattered and fled, but there are still thousands of people still rounding up Lu Bu.
It wasn't until Guo Bi fled for half a quarter of an hour that he stopped, because Guo Bi fled in the direction of Chang'an City by detour, so he believed that Lu Bu would not chase after him, so he dared to look back and see the situation.
At this time, the battlefield was already one-sided, and LΓΌ Bu's army was gradually surrounded by Guo Yan's army, after all, the number of the two sides was too different.
Seeing this situation, Guo Yan turned his head again and rushed to the battlefield, because he wanted to cut off Lu Bu's head with his own hands.
However, this is destined to be an unrealizable dream, although most of Lu Bu's troops are gradually surrounded, but Lu Bu himself and his generals have already broken through.
After running for hundreds of miles, Lu Bu counted his subordinates and found that only more than 100 people had successfully escaped, and most of them were wounded.
"General, where are we going now?"
Hou Cheng took a few steps forward, came to Lu Bu's side and said.
"We went to Runan to find Yuan Shu, I helped them avenge the destruction of the Yuan family, and they haven't thanked me yet."
After speaking, Lu Bu pulled out an arrow from his shoulder, and two soldiers quickly came over to help him stop the bleeding.
"General, bear with me."
After Hao Meng, who was standing behind Lu Bu, finished speaking, he pulled out an arrow behind Lu Bu with a strong palm.
In addition, Lu Bu was also hit by an arrow in the thigh, but it had already been pulled out.
Although Lu Bu was not hit by the enemy's weapons in this battle, he was hit by three arrows, but fortunately, they were not vital parts.
Let the bandaged soldier tighten the wound hard, Lu Bu stepped on the red rabbit again and led the rest of the people to walk in the direction of Yangzhou.
Guo Yan is also making post-war statistics, facing Lu Bu's troops of less than 3,000 people, they killed more than 2,000 people in this battle, more than 1,000 people were seriously injured and hit by arrows, and countless people were slightly injured.
You must know that this is a battle of 10,000 people ambushing 3,000 people, and the damage is too amazing.
"Damn Lu Bu, you actually embarrassed me so much."
The more Guo Yan thought about it, the more angry he became, and suddenly said to the deputy general beside him: "Behead all the more than 1,000 captives, so as to vent the hatred in my heart." β
"What, let Lu Bu run away?"
Li Wei slapped the table, stood up and said to Guo Yan.
"Ten thousand against three thousand, and it's still an ambush, can it be like this, has the general done it in vain for so many years?"
Guo Yan is equivalent to an accomplice to control Dong Zhuo's old department for Li Wei, and the relationship between the two should be equal, if it wasn't for Guo Yan's assistance before, Li Wei would not have been able to accept those troops so easily.
But as Li Wei's position gradually stabilized, now he treats Guo Yan more and more as his subordinate. , which made Guo Yan very dissatisfied.
It's just that the situation is stronger than people now, and Guo Yan is helpless, and although Li Wei reprimanded him this time, he didn't say anything too ugly, and Guo Yan endured it.
It's just that Guo Yan's subtle expression fluctuations can't escape Jia Xu, who has been watching the two of them.
"I think General Guo has tried his best, but that Lu Bu is too difficult, this matter is Yu's fault, if I arrange a little more troops for General Guo, it may not be like this."
"Mr. Bei Yu must not blame himself, ten thousand ambushes three thousand, even if it is Lu Bu, it is enough, just someone"
Li Dao's words were not finished, but Guo Yan knew that Li Dao was saying that he was incompetent.
"I heard that Lu Bu resisted the Kwantung princes back then, and he was brave and brave, and this matter is indeed not General Guo's fault."
Seeing that Jia Xu had been speaking for himself, Guo Yan's good impression of Jia Xu immediately increased a little.
"Okay, since Mr. Bei is pleading, forget about this matter, you go and rest first."
Li Dao said this to Guo Yan.
"Yes."
Guo Yan saluted and turned to leave, but in a place where Li Wei couldn't see, Jia Xu found that Guo Yan had a hideous expression on his face.
This time, Jia Xu was calculating Lu Bu, but he was also calculating Li Dao and Guo Yan at the same time, and he had already discovered that the relationship between the two was not very indestructible, so in order to further weaken the forces within the division, Jia Xu decided to use a discord strategy against the two.
At this time, Li Wei was actually trying to find a way to get rid of Guo Yan in his heart, just as the second-in-command, if he rashly got rid of Guo Yan, then there was a lot of change in the army.
When Li Dao wantonly killed the cronies of the former Dong Zhuo generals before, he placed his cronies in the positions of those people, and at the same time, half of these positions were Guo Yan's cronies, so now although Li Dao has more than 100,000 troops, nearly half of them are under Guo Yan's control.
The day after the capture of Chang'an, Li Dao took Guo Yan, Jia Xu and others to meet Emperor Liu Xie.
It's said to be a visit, but it's actually just a meeting.
Li Dao and the others were fully armored, and the knives did not leave their bodies, and they did not have the slightest respect for the emperor.
The purpose of his coming to see Emperor Xian was also very simple, that is, to position Lu Bu and Wang Yun as rebellious and restore his status as the king of Qin.
Then Li Wei thought that this didn't seem to be enough, he directly asked Emperor Xian to canonize himself as a general, Guo Yan was named a hussar general, Jia Xu was unwilling to be rewarded, so he pushed down Situ's position.
And in order to take care of Fan Chou and Zhang Ji's mood, Li Dao also asked Emperor Xian to crown the two of them as General Che Cai and General Wei.
