Chapter 63: Wheat City Breakout
For Adou, what is needed most now is time, and every second counts.
Zhu Ran's 5,000 centaurs have been eaten by Adou. Although most of the captives were captured, there were still many fish that escaped by taking advantage of the darkness of the night.
These escaped Jiangdong troops will definitely return to Lu Meng, when Lu Meng knows that Zhu Ran's army is defeated, he will inevitably send troops to attack immediately, presumably at that time, Lu Meng will attack Maicheng at any cost, in front of Lu Meng's tens of thousands of troops, his 10,000 soldiers and horses are not worth mentioning at all, not only will he not be able to save Guan Yu at that time, maybe he will also have to be wiped out, so Adou decided to rush to Maicheng before Lu Meng reacted, so that Guan Yu could break through as soon as possible. By the time Lu Meng reacted, Guan Yu had already joined his army of 10,000.
Adou only called Liao Hua to follow the two of them to Maicheng. First, the speed of the two people must be faster than the team, and secondly, Mai Cheng must be under Lu Meng's surveillance now, if Adou leads the army, he will definitely not be able to hide Lu Meng's reconnaissance, and Lu Meng will discover his intentions early. There are only two people, but it will not attract Lu Meng's attention, after all, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is difficult for two people to turn up a big storm.
And now that the army ambushed by Zhu Ran has been wiped out, no one in the north of Maicheng intercepts Guan Yu, it can be said that as long as Guan Yu breaks through to the north, it is very safe to go all the way to the north, and he will not be intercepted by the enemy at all. And Zhu Ran's camp is only twenty miles away from Maicheng, this short twenty miles is very close to Adou and Liaohua, and these twenty miles are also very close to the Jiangdong rout, Adou must race against time, and now the comparison is speed, to see whether Guan Yu broke through first, or those Zhu Ran's routs ran to Lu Meng first.
"Adou, why are you here? How's my big brother? At this time, Guan Yu was still thinking about Liu Bei.
"Second uncle, don't worry about it for now, now the second uncle quickly orders the rectification of the soldiers and horses, let's break through immediately!" Adou said.
"What the hell is going on?" Of course, Guan Yu didn't understand why, and asked again.
"Second uncle, go and assemble the troops first, and the reinforcements are twenty miles north of the city." Adou said urgently.
"Chengbei, why did you run to Chengbei?" Guan Yu asked puzzled. Of course, Guan Yu also knew that Xiangyang in the north was Cao Cao's territory, and if reinforcements arrived, they should also come from the west instead of from the north.
Hearing Guan Yu ask this and that, Adou here is in a hurry, you must know that it will be more dangerous to delay a little longer now, so Adou said to Guan Ping next to him: "Brother, you go to the army first, and I will explain to the second uncle slowly!" ”
Guan Ping hesitated, after all, Guan Yu didn't give an order, and Guan Ping still didn't dare to make a move.
Adou looked at this posture and knew that Guan Yu and Guan Ping would not move if he didn't make it clear. Adou shook his head helplessly, no wonder Guan Yu lost Jingzhou, so stubborn and self-serving, he didn't listen to anyone's persuasion, and he was not wronged at all when he lost Jingzhou.
In fact, Adou is concerned about chaos, Guan Yu is a general, and there are hundreds of brothers under him to follow him, so Guan Yu naturally has to figure out the ins and outs of the matter.
Adou had no choice but to speak: "Let me make a long story short, Zhu Ran ambushed 5,000 men and horses twenty miles north of the city, and now they have all been defeated by us, Zhu Ran has also been captured alive, and 10,000 reinforcements are twenty miles north of Maicheng City." When Liao Hua and I came, the battle over there should not have been completely over, and now Lu Meng should not know the news of Zhu Ran's capture, so Second Uncle, we must immediately take this opportunity to break through, if we wait until Lu Meng gets the news, we will definitely send a large army to come, and it will be difficult for us to break through! ”
This time Guan Yu can be regarded as understanding, as Guan Yu expected, there is indeed an army ambushed by Lu Meng in the north of the city, although I don't know why this reinforcement suddenly appeared in the north of the city, but Liao Hua and Adou should not pit themselves, and at this time Guan Yu also realized the importance of time to himself, thinking of this, Guan Yu immediately said to Guan Ping: "Ping'er, immediately reorganize the army, let's break through immediately!" ”
said that it was a breakthrough, but in fact, there was no enemy to intercept it at all. After all, there is not a single enemy outside the north gate of Maicheng now, only a few Lu Meng's spies are staring, and the 5,000 men and horses in Zhu Ran's ambush have also been eaten by Adou, so Guan Yu led the remaining 500 people out of the city from the north gate without any scruples.
The remaining more than 500 people in this Guan Yu are all elites. When he was in Xinye, Guan Yu had five hundred school swordsmen, and these five hundred school swordsmen were all trained by Guan Yu himself, all of them were elite troops, and they could be ten, compared to Liu Bei's white-eared elite soldiers, Guan Yu trusted the combat effectiveness of his five hundred school swordsmen very much, and when Guan Yu attacked Changsha, he took five hundred school swordsmen.
Later, Liu Bei's power became bigger and bigger, and Guan Yu's officials rose higher and higher, and the number of people from 500 also expanded to 1,000. It's just that half of the city has been lost in the past few days, so it has become more than 500 people. However, these more than 500 people are the elite of the elite, not only have strong combat effectiveness and rich combat experience, but also are loyal to Guan Yu, even if they encounter great danger, they will follow Guan Yu.
Outside the city, several scouts were far away from the north gate of Maicheng suddenly opened, and then saw a group of people rushing out from inside, although it was not clear in the night, but whether it was a red rabbit horse or Guan Yu, it was still so conspicuous in the dark night, and the scouts could see at a glance that it was Guan Yu who came out.
The scout did not hesitate at all, and immediately slapped his horse and ran, ready to report back to Lu Meng.
The winter sky was originally bright and relatively late, and when Guan Yu went out of the city, it was not yet dawn. At this time, the envoy sent by Lu Meng to Maicheng in the middle of the night to fight Guan Yu's morale had just returned, and Lu Meng had just listened to the envoy's report and had just laid down for a short time.
Tai Shixiang looked into the tent and found that Lu Meng was sleeping soundly, and he had the intention not to disturb Lu Meng, but thinking that the military situation was urgent, he couldn't afford to delay at all, so Tai Shixiang finally walked in, came to Lu Meng's side, and gently called in Lu Meng's ear: "Du Du, Du Du wake up." ”
People who practice martial arts are much more sensitive than ordinary people, especially when leading the army, they must notice the enemy's sneak attack at any time, so the generals have practiced a habit, that is, they can wake up with a little wind and grass. Of course, Zhang Fei, who slept with his eyes open, was an exception.
When Lu Meng heard someone shouting to him, he immediately opened his eyes and found Tai Shixiang standing in front of him.
Lu Meng knew that Tai Shixiang came to find him at this time, he must have military intelligence, could it be that Guan Yu heard that the reinforcements were hopeless and broke through at night? So Lu Meng got up and asked, "What's wrong?" But what's the news in the direction of Maicheng? ”
Tai Shixiang nodded: "The governor didn't expect it badly, he just visited Malai to report, Guan Yu went out of the city at night!" ”
