Volume 3 A Thousand Miles to Save Guan Gong Chapter 77 The former enemy has not been eliminated, and the chasing soldiers have arrived again
It's Xu Huang, let's go! Liu Feng shouted, and then struck the horse fiercely, and the war horse let out a long roar and ran at full speed. And the 6,000 men and horses brought by Liu Feng also began to flee without their lives.
"Chase me, Hugh is leaving, Liu Feng!" Xu Huang immediately led someone to chase after him.
"Run!" Seeing Xu Huang chasing after him, Liu Feng looked a little flustered, and saw Liu Feng running towards the mountains to the south.
"General, you see that Liu Feng must be in a panic, there is a mountain to the south, it is not easy to march, it seems that Liu Feng must be in a catastrophe this time!" The lieutenant general spoke.
Xu Huang nodded and snorted lightly: "Brothers, chase after me, the one who captures Liu Feng alive will be promoted to two levels and the bounty will be fifty!" β
Xu Huang shouted, and all the soldiers immediately came to the uproar, and everyone didn't care what formation they had, they just rushed towards Liu Feng in one go. After all, this fifty gold is a very large amount, if you get enough to live a prosperous life for the rest of your life.
The two teams chased and fled, but the distance was gradually narrowed, and from time to time, the Shu army that fell behind was caught up by Xu Huang and gave away his life. And Liu Feng couldn't care about so much now, just ran forward.
Looking at Xu Huang who was approaching behind him, Liu Feng was very anxious, if he was caught up by Xu Huang, his little life would have to be explained here.
"It's coming, it's almost there! And five miles! Liu Feng couldn't help comforting himself in his heart.
"And three miles!"
"There's still a mile!"
Finally. In front of Liu's fiefdom, a hillside appeared. A trail winds in the middle of the hillside. The trail is seen in the distance. Liu Feng let out a sigh. It's finally here!
"Brethren. Hurry up, everyone. Cross the slope ahead. We are saved! Liu Feng shouted. Desperately rushing forward.
It didn't take long. Xu Huang also came here. Xu Huang looked forward. Liu Feng is not far away. It's more than a mile away from me.
"Chase!" Xu Huang swung his axe. The first horse chased after Liu Feng.
"Whoosh!" An arrow pierced through the air. It just happened to shoot at the foot of Xu Huang's horse. This sudden arrow startled the horses. The front hooves involuntarily left the ground. Warped up.
Followed by. From both sides of the slope. Countless bows and arrows flew in. It turned into black dots in the moonlight. Draw an arc. Out of thin air. When these black spots fall on people. Immediately stabbed into the human body. Brought up a little bit of blood.
In the dark night, the little rain of arrows fell from the sky, and with the shouting and killing sounds around him, for a while, Xu Huang couldn't tell how many enemies there were, and he didn't even know where the enemies were hiding. The rain of arrows fell, and Xu Huang's army was in chaos.
"There is an ambush! Remove! Xu Huang swung his axe and swept away more than a dozen arrows, but the soldiers around Xu Huang did not have Xu Huang's ability, and after a round of arrow rain, a large number of people fell around Xu Huang.
As soon as Xu Huang grabbed the reins, the horses immediately turned their heads and retreated to the back, while Xu Huang kept waving his big axe to block the incoming bow and arrows.
On the slope, Meng Da had already spotted Xu Huang in the crowd at this time.
I saw Meng Da take out a big bow from behind him, bend the bow and take the arrow and aim at Xu Huang carefully, and then let go, the arrow shot by Meng Da turned into a meteor and went straight to Xu Huang.
The generals in this Shu have a great characteristic, that is, they are good at shooting.
Look at these Shuzhong generals who took refuge in Liu Bei, whether it is Yan Yan and Zhang Ren, who are highly qualified, or Zhang Yi and Wu Lan, who are young people, they are all good at archery. Meng Da has been in Shu for many years, and he has not practiced other skills, but this archery is perfect, although it is not as good as Lu Bu's halberd, but it can be regarded as a hundred steps through Yang.
Meng Da is good at shooting, and Meng Da also uses a three-stone big bow, and the arrows shot by this bow are much stronger and faster than the arrows shot by ordinary soldiers. And the parabola shot is much smoother than the arrow shot by an ordinary bow.
The arrow flew straight towards Xu Huang, the frost-colored moonlight shining on the black arrow, reflecting a bleak luster, and the white feathers at the end of the tail trembled with the wind. The moment the arrow was fired, the bows and arrows around seemed to slow down. With a hint of a sound of breaking through the air, the special arrow rushed straight towards Xu Huang's front door.
Xu Huang's archery skills are also good, ranking in the top five among the soldiers of the Cao army, so when the sound of breaking the air came, Xu Huang judged that this arrow was not good. Xu Huang fixed his eyes and saw that a black spot in the distance was flying towards him at a very fast speed, Xu Huang was shocked, and subconsciously shrank his neck, trying to avoid the bow and arrow that came from him, but Meng Da's arrow speed was too fast, and Xu Huang's action was still a moment late.
This arrow, right in the middle of Xu Huang, grazed the edge of Xu Huang's helmet and shot into Xu Huang's forehead, the friction between the arrow and the helmet actually rubbed a little spark, Xu Huang screamed, fell off the horse, unconscious.
Xu Huang's lieutenant hurriedly walked over and found that Xu Huang had not yet lost his breath, but Xu Huang's breath was already very weak at this time. At the moment when it was just a moment, Xu Huang's helmet played a key role, the friction with the arrow reduced the rate of fire of the arrow, and Xu Huang's deliberate dodging made the arrow suffer three points more resistance, so although Xu Huang's skull and forehead have been shattered by the bow and arrow, the person has not yet lost his breath.
The deputy general found that Xu Huang still had breath, so without saying a word, he dragged Xu Huang up and ran.
On the slope, Meng Da clenched his fist fiercely, just that arrow, Meng Da had already played his best level, originally Meng Da thought that this arrow could shoot through Xu Huang's head, but he didn't expect that at the last moment, Meng Da actually dodged it, although he also shot Xu Huang, but Meng Da was not sure whether he shot Xu Huang to death.
But at this time, Meng Da can't manage so much, no matter what, Xu Huang has temporarily lost his combat effectiveness, and now that the enemy is leaderless, it is a good time for him to start pursuing.
"Beat the drums!" Meng Da shouted, and the soldiers next to him immediately began beating the war drums.
At this time, Liu Feng had already run out for several miles.
"Knock, knock, knock......" The rapid sound of war drums came, and Liu Feng stopped violently.
"Listen, is there a drum sound?" Liu Feng asked.
"General, it's from behind us to the sound of drums!"
Liu Feng looked back, and a smile appeared on his mouth: "It seems that General Meng Da has succeeded, send orders to the three armies, immediately turn around, and pursue Xu Huang!" β
The soldiers were overwhelmed by this sudden change, and just now everyone fled like lost dogs, and now they want to pursue others, and the gap between before and after is inevitably too great.
This whole set of plans was designed by Meng Da. Meng Da knew that he was facing Xu Huang head-on, and he was afraid that he would not have much chance of winning, and if he wanted to defeat Xu Huang, he had to use some strategy, and it was best to ambush Xu Huang fiercely.
So Meng Da was suspicious
People took advantage of the night to go out to find a road that could lead to the back of Xu Huang's camp, so that T|7 himself would send someone to attack the camp from behind at night.
Then Meng Da ordered Liu Feng to take 6,000 men and horses, go around to the back of Xu Huang's camp, and raid Xu Huang at night. If Xu Huang hadn't discovered his plan to raid at night before, and Xu Huang was defenseless, Liu Feng's blow would definitely hurt Xu Huang's army, and if Xu Huang had already discovered that Liu Feng was going to steal the camp, then he would have carried out the second step plan.
The second step of the plan was for Liu Feng to lure Xu Huang towards the place where Meng Da was ambushed. Meng Da and a group of archers had already ambushed behind the nearby slope, and once Xu Huang came over, he immediately shot arrows at Xu Huang. In the night, Xu Huang didn't know how many people there were, and he would definitely not fight to the death, but chose to retreat. And while Xu Huang was flustered, Meng Da would personally snipe Xu Huang. Meng Da believes that with his own archery skills, in that case, even if he can't shoot Xu Huang, he can also shoot Xu Huang. Once Xu Huang is injured, Liu Feng and Meng Da will not have to be afraid to fight Xu Huang alone.
I have to say that Meng Da is very careful in doing things. Meng Da was worried that this plan would be leaked out early, so only the core generals such as Meng Da and Liu Feng knew about the whole plan before, and the soldiers kept it a secret. The so-called drama is a full set, and it is precisely because those soldiers have never known the inside story, so when Liu Feng retreated, everyone ran desperately, and Xu Huang did not suspect it, so he was introduced into the ambush circle. If those soldiers had known about Mengda's strategy earlier, I'm afraid the effect would not have been so good.
β¦β¦
Xu Huang was seriously injured, causing Xu Huang's eight thousand disciples to lose their backbone, and behind, Meng Da and Liu Fengbing were united and chased after Xu Huang. Xu Huang's army had no one to command, so he could only continue to retreat. Liu Feng and Meng Da took advantage of the situation to capture Xu Huang's camp and seized countless heavy grains and grass.
The so-called taking advantage of your illness to kill you, Meng Da and Liu Feng are not benevolent and righteous, and now Xu Huang's 8,000 men and horses have lost their command and collapsed for thousands of miles, it is the time to beat the water dogs, where will Meng Da and Liu Feng let go of such a good opportunity.
So Meng Da and Liu Feng left some soldiers and horses to count the harvest, take care of the wounded, and chased them in the direction of Xiangyang with a large army.
Guan Yu camp.
In the past few days, Guan Yu and Guan Ping took turns to call for battle, but this Cao Ren couldn't bear it, but he just didn't fight.
In fact, Cao Ren calculated very clearly, that is, Guan Yu's grain and grass should be almost exhausted, as long as he waits for a few more days, when Guan Yu's food is exhausted, he can win without a fight.
Cao Ren thought well, Guan Yu did not bring much grain and grass, but it was far from the time when he was about to finish eating. At the beginning, Guan Yu in Maicheng was on the verge of running out of food, but Adou attacked Zhu Ran's camp, and Zhu Ran's camp could put a lot of grain and grass, all of which were taken away by the Shu army, plus those that Adou brought from Shangyong at the beginning, there was no need to worry about food and grass in thirteen or fourteen days.
But now, what worries Adou is another thing, that is, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses have gathered again and are heading towards their side, and it is Lu Xun who leads the troops!
β¦β¦
Guan Yu camp.
Guan Yu, Guan Ping, Liao Hua, Wang Fu, Zhao Lei and Adou are discussing in the tent.
Zhang hurriedly walked in from the outside, saw that everyone was there, and said: "Qiyu Junhou, our Tanma has discovered that the Jiangdong army is coming along the Xiangjiang River. β
Hearing that the Jiangdong army was coming, the people present were somewhat surprised, you must know that Lu Meng had just died, and Jiangdong had also lost Zhu Ran and Jiang Qin, two generals, which was not a small loss. And after LΓΌ Meng's death, the military and political forces in Jiangdong will definitely face a new reshuffle.
Although Sun Ce set up the recruitment hall at the beginning, it attracted a group of talents from the civilian Han family, but when it comes to resources, where can the common people compare with those children of the family, so now more than ten years have passed, most of the civil and military generals under Sun Quan are still from the family.
It is precisely because of this that although Sun Quan's territory is not as large as Cao Cao's, and his troops are not as large as Liu Bei's, Sun Quan's subordinates are mixed and very difficult to manage, just like the original Battle of Chibi, half of the people persuaded Sun Quan to surrender, which is almost impossible to happen in Cao Cao and Liu Bei's forces.
Therefore, in Adou's view, after Lu Meng's death, the new reshuffle of Jiangdong forces will inevitably last for a long time. But I didn't expect that in just a few days, the Jiangdong soldiers and horses were integrated and killed!
Guan Yu stroked his beard and asked, "How many people are coming from Jiangdong, and who is leading the troops?" β
"About seventy or eighty thousand people, and the leader of the troops is Lu Xun!" He opened his mouth and said.
"Lu Xun! Hehehe...... It's just a scholar! Guan Yu said disdainfully.
Speaking of which, so far, Lu Xun in Guan Yu's impression is still the guy who patted himself as soon as he took office, such a person commanded the army, Guan Yu didn't pay attention to it at all.
Adou next to him was in a completely different mood, this Guan Yu was careless and Jingzhou was calculated by Lu Xun once, but he didn't expect to despise Lu Xun so much now, if so, he would inevitably suffer a big loss.
Adou shook his head secretly, he didn't expect that a wave of unsettled waves would rise again, and he had just tried every means to kill Lu Meng, but he didn't expect a more powerful Lu Xun to come so soon.
Although Adou knew that after Lu Meng's death, it was Lu Xun who succeeded Lu Meng. But that's for specific historical reasons. At that time, Liu Bei's army was pressing, and the ministers of Eastern Wu were facing life and death, so they united and united with the outside world, even so, when Sun Quan ordered Lu Xun to be the commander, there were still many people in Jiangdong who opposed it. Now that Jiangdong is not facing a moment of crisis, according to Adou's idea, even if Lu Xun is in charge in the end, it should be a long time to argue. Then you also have plenty of time to get back to the mediocrity.
Adou thought very well, but he ignored one point, that is, Sun Quan's influence. Today's Sun Quan is no longer the ignorant young man during the Battle of Chibi, as he grows older, Sun Quan's desire for power is increasing day by day, and now Sun Quan's prestige in the hearts of Jiangdong ministers is not necessarily high, but Sun Quan's orders, no one dares to disobey them. Therefore, when Sun Quanquan supported Lu Xun despite public opinion, even if the Jiangdong ministers were not convinced, they did not dare to say half a "no" again.
Although Guan Yu didn't put Lu Xun in his eyes, Adou didn't dare to have half a bit of contempt in his heart. What's more, Lu Xun still has an army of seventy or eighty thousand in his hands now.
At this time, Lu Xun's scouts had also reported Guan Yu's news to Lu Xun.
Lu Xun smiled slightly, as he expected, Guan Yu really didn't go far, and was blocked by Cao Ren in Xiangyang.
Everyone was also surprised when they heard that Guan Yu was blocked in Xiangyang. Because of LΓΌ Meng's original idea, the Shu army could enter Maicheng in the north, presumably because of some agreement reached with Cao Cao, so that the Cao army would let the Shu army rescue Guan Yu through Xiangyang, and everyone was once worried that Cao Cao would unite with Liu Bei to attack Jiangdong. But now looking at Guan Yu and Cao Ren fighting, it seems that this Cao Cao and Liu Bei
United.
"Du Du, since Guan Yu has not fled, the last general is willing to lead the troops to capture Guan Yu and avenge Lu Dudu!" Xu Sheng immediately stood up and said.
Lu Xun shook his head: "Order the three armies, set up camp, no one can go to war without my order!" β
"Lu Xun, what do you mean!" Xu Sheng heard Lu Xun's order to set up camp and asked sharply.
Xu Sheng originally refused to accept Lu Xun, a scholar, as the governor, and when he led the troops back to Maicheng, he just wanted to avenge Lu Meng. Now that Guan Yu is in front of him, Lu Xun ordered that he was not allowed to fight, Xu Shengden was furious, and Lu Xun, who didn't care about it, was his boss, and shouted by his name.
Ding Feng next to him immediately grabbed Xu Sheng, signaled Xu Sheng not to be impatient, not to be impulsive, and at the same time asked, "Dudu, why don't you let me wait to fight?" This Guan Yu is only 10,000 horses, we have 70,000 troops, even if Guan Yu is guarded by the battalion, we will definitely be able to defeat Guan Yu with some effort! β
"Then have you ever thought about what happens after we defeat Guan Yu?" Lu Xun asked calmly: "If Cao Jun takes advantage of the battle between us and Guan Yu to kill us, what should we do?" β
When Xu Sheng heard this, he also felt that Lu Xun said that there were some roads, and his heart was empty, but he still argued: "What if Cao Cao kills, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, he only has 30,000 or 40,000 horses in Xiangyang City, and with my Jiangdong soldiers, I am afraid that they will not succeed!" β
"Then what if Cao Caomo's army has already arrived in Xiangyang?" Lu Xun then asked.
"Then I'll even kill Cao Cao!" Xu Sheng said viciously.
"Good, courage!" Lu Xun's eyes narrowed: "But have you ever thought that if Liu Bei loses Jingzhou, he will inevitably raise troops to report it, if we lose tens of thousands of horses here, it just so happens that Liu Bei is going down the river at this time, advancing by land and water, attacking Jingzhou, what do we use to resist Liu Bei!" β
"This ......" Xu Sheng really had nothing to say this time.
Quan Cong next to him nodded secretly, this Lu Xun is really not ordinary, Xu Sheng, who said it in three or two sentences, was speechless, and he said everything reasonably. Unconsciously, Quan Cong's opinion of Lu Xun has changed a lot.
I only heard Lu Xun continue: "Now Cao Jun probably wants us to fight with Guan Yu." When both sides lose, they will reap the benefits of the fisherman! So we absolutely can't attack Guan Yu now, all we have to do is wait! When Cao Ren and Guan Yu fight, we can take advantage of it! β
"Wait! When? If Cao Ren doesn't fight Guan Yu for a year, won't we have to wait for a year! It was Xu Sheng who asked.
Lu Xun smiled slightly: "Don't worry, within twenty days, Cao Ren will definitely fight with Guan Yu!" β
"Hmph, you said twenty days is twenty days?" Xu Sheng snorted quietly
I only heard Lu Xun explain unhurriedly: "If what I expected is good, Guan Yu's grain and grass will be twenty days at most." If Guan Yu runs out of food after the twentieth day, he will definitely not sit still, and even if there are hundreds of thousands of troops blocking him, Guan Yu will inevitably find ways to break through. Where do you say this Guan Yu will go if he breaks through? β
"Then you don't need to ask, it must be to break through to the west and go to Shangyong!"
"That's right, so as long as we wait here now, when Guan Yu runs out of food, we will break through from Cao Ren's side, and then Guan Yu and Cao Ren will inevitably fight, and when they are both defeated, we will wave our army again, and we can annihilate them in one fell swoop!" Speaking of this, Lu Xun's eyes flashed with a hint of confidence.
At this moment, the little colonel walked in from outside, came to everyone, and reported: "Governor Qiqi, General Pan Zhang has just gone out with more than 1,000 people!" β
"What? Pan Zhang went out? Where did it go? Lu Xun immediately asked.
"Look at the direction, it should be towards Guan Yu's camp!"
"Didn't I just order that no one should go out?" Lu Xun said angrily.
"Governor, as far as the last general knows, after Pan Zhang heard the governor's order that no one should go into battle without authorization, he immediately ordered a thousand men and horses from his headquarters and rushed out. We are incompetent, and we have never stopped General Pan Zhang! β
In fact, it's not that the gate can't stop Pan Zhang, but that he doesn't dare to stop Pan Zhang at all. Speaking of which, Pan Zhang's identity is not trivial. Although Pan Zhang was born as a civilian, Pan Zhang was Sun Quan's personal guard back then, and Pan Zhang followed Sun Quan when Sun Quan was fifteen years old, so when it comes to qualifications, no one in the camp can compare to Pan Zhang. Relying on his old qualifications, Pan Zhang did not go to Lu Xun's meeting.
"Damn!" Lu Xun slapped the table fiercely.
"Dudu, let me go and chase Pan Zhang back!" Ding Feng hurriedly came over and said.
I saw a hint of fierceness in Lu Xun's eyes: "No need, it's too late for you to go, Pan Zhang doesn't listen to the general's order, he should be punished!" Pass the order down, keep the gate tightly, no one is allowed to fight! β
At this time, Pan Zhang led a thousand men and horses from his headquarters to march in the direction of the Guanyu camp in Xiangyang.
Like Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang is not convinced that Lu Xun is a scholar.
It was also to avenge Lu Meng that Pan Zhang came. Compared with Xu Sheng and others, Pan Zhang and Lu Meng's relationship is deeper. When Jian'an was five years old, Sun Ce had just died, and Pan Zhang and Lu Meng had been together at that time, and it had been twenty years now. Moreover, Pan Zhang and LΓΌ Meng are both from civilian backgrounds, and among the Jiangdong generals, LΓΌ Meng and Pan Zhang have the closest relationship.
It is precisely because of the good relationship between the two that Lu Meng ordered Pan Zhang to ambush and capture Guan Yu in Linfang, the purpose was also to give this great credit to his friend Pan Zhang. Now that Pan Zhang heard that Lu Xun ordered no one to fight, he was furious, and immediately took a thousand men from his headquarters to find trouble with Guan Yu.
β¦β¦
"General, we left the camp without permission, what should we do if Lu Xun blames us?" Adjutant General Ma Zhong asked.
"Humph!" I saw Pan Zhang snort coldly: "The governor suffered misfortune, that scholar actually ordered me not to fight, he obviously didn't want to take revenge on the governor!" He doesn't want to go, I'll go! β
"What the general said is, it's just that Guan Yu is extraordinary, I'm afraid I'm ......"
"I'm afraid of what? I'm afraid I was killed by Guan Yu, right? I'm telling you, the big husband does something and doesn't do it! I have known the governor for many years, and I am like a brother, if I don't help him avenge, I will be in vain! Ma Zhong, if you don't want to go, I won't embarrass you, you can go back now! β
Cut
