Chapter 746: Protecting the Calf
Liao Hua was beheaded, and the enemy army collapsed and collapsed.
Zhang Xiu rode his horse and danced his gun, carrying the unfinished killing machine, and once again crashed into the enemy who fled in panic.
The guns are everywhere, and no life is spared!
A thousand iron horsemen rushed wildly, and the enemy soldiers who killed were crying wolf, and at this time, the defeated infantry led by Huang Gai also reflexively killed and joined the killing team.
Under the joint strangulation of infantry and cavalry, the corpses of 10,000 Han soldiers were killed all over the field, more than half of them were killed and wounded, and the thousands of soldiers and horses who survived fled with their lives and abandoned their armor.
On the hillside, Su Zhe drank a little wine and admired the killing in front of him with great interest.
In view of the limited number of your own army after all, it is not easy to inflict such heavy losses on the enemy army, and it is not realistic to eat 10,000 enemy troops in one go.
Seeing that half of the enemy army was defeated and fled, Su Zhe urged his soldiers to kill the defeated soldiers all the way and chase towards Jiangzhou City.
Ahead, Guan Ping was fleeing wildly.
He was fortunate that he and his more than 4,000 remaining soldiers escaped from Ascension despite the sacrifice of nearly half of the soldiers.
Looking at the corpses of his own army everywhere behind him, and looking at the Wei army rolling after him, Guan Ping was full of regret, regretting that he should not be smart and forcibly go out of the city to fight Su Zhe.
"Liao Hua is right, that Su thief is treacherous, I really shouldn't be conceited, if only I had listened to his persuasion earlier......"
Guan Ping looked up to the sky and sighed, blaming himself.
At this time, he suddenly found that there was no trace of Liao Hua around, and when he asked, he learned that Liao Hua had been beheaded by Wei General Zhang Xiu.
Guan Ping's heart was shocked, and his face immediately twisted with hideous grief and indignation, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Liao Hua, don't worry, I, Guan Ping, swear here, sooner or later, I will cut off the head of the Su thief and avenge you!" ”
Just when Guan Ping was still swearing ruthlessly, the direction behind him was shaking the sky, and the dust covered the sky, and the iron cavalry of the Wei army approached again.
Guan Ping had a cold war, so he had to put the anger of revenge behind him first, whipped his horsewhip wildly, and fled from the road, not daring to turn back again.
The more than 4,000 remnants of the Han army were all terrified and fled with him like frightened rats.
Su Zhe commanded his troops, chased them out for more than ten miles, and chased them to the city of Jiangzhou, forcing the city to be walled.
Guan Ping, who fled back to the city, was defeated by Su Zhe and lost his temper completely, so he could only strictly defend the city and dare not fight again, and at the same time sent people to Pegasus to Nanzhong to ask Guan Yu for help.
……
Nanzhong, the camp of the Han army.
The cheers of excitement echoed in the camp, and thousands of Han soldiers and soldiers were all in jubilation, as if celebrating a great victory.
Meng Shu, the king of the Southern Barbarians, who had been besieged for many days, finally couldn't stand the hunger, and sent people to the Han camp today to beg Guan Yu to surrender.
As soon as Meng Huo and the main force of the barbarian army fell, it meant that the resistance of the Nanban would be wiped out here, and the rebellion in Nanzhong would be put down.
The news is about to spread, how can the Han soldiers not rejoice.
There was laughter and laughter in the tent, but there was life in the tent.
Guan Yu's bare face was as gloomy as iron, his face was bruised with bruises, his fists in his hands were clenched so tightly that they clicked, and anger was rolling and burning wildly on his body.
Downstairs, Huang Quan, Li Hui, Yang Qiu and others also looked anxious and gloomy, and couldn't stop sighing secretly.
Bang!
Guan Yu's fist hit the desk hard, and he gritted his teeth and scolded: "Guan Ping, you waste, you are too disappointed to the general, you are so disappointed~~"
In his expression and words, he did not hide his deep disappointment in his son.
The emergency battle report from Jiangzhou has arrived, Guan Ping did not dare to hide it, how he took the initiative to meet Su Zhe, and how he fell for Su Zhe's ambush plan, and as a result, he was defeated, and the fiasco of losing more than half of the troops was truthfully reported to Guan Yu, who was in Nanzhong.
This news hit Guan Yu deeply.
Yan Yan's army was defeated, Wang Ping's army was defeated, and it was okay to say that these people were defeated, after all, they were not the generals he chose.
But Guan Ping, who was his proud son, was also defeated by Su Zhe, which made him lose face.
"The young general is really, the general ordered him to defend the city, why does he have to fight?" Li Hui also sighed, and there was dissatisfaction with Guan Ping's actions in his words.
Huang Quan was also puzzled: "It stands to reason that the major general should be very aware of the deceit of the Su thief, how can he still fall for the Su thief's agitation method, take the initiative to fight, and be ambushed by the Su thief, I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out." ”
Guan Yu's brows furrowed secretly, and he listened to his subordinates complaining and questioning his son, and his heart gradually became unhappy.
His son made a mistake, he Guan Yu can scold and be dissatisfied, but he can't allow others to make irresponsible remarks about his son.
At this time, Guan Yu instead sprouted a heart of protection.
After rolling his eyes slightly, Guan Yu put away his anger, stroked his beautiful hair and said: "Although Ping'er lost this battle, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the follow-up troops and horses of the Su thief had not been assembled, and the idea of taking the initiative to seek a chance to win was understandable, but the Su thief was too treacherous and unexpected to the general." ”
Everyone looked shocked, and looked at Guan Yu suspiciously, as if they didn't expect that at this time, Guan Yu would still have the heart to protect the calf.
For a while, Huang Quan and the others were not able to complain about Guan Ping again.
That Yang Qiu hurriedly agreed: "The general is reasonable, if the young general does not take the initiative to attack, the army of Su thieves gathers under the city of Jiangzhou, and misses the fighter, then the situation will be even more unfavorable, if you want to blame, you can only blame the Su thief for being too cunning, and the young general has really tried his best." ”
Yang Qiu's words were very excruciating for Guan Ping, and Guan Yu, who listened to it, felt comfortable and couldn't help nodding slightly.
At this time, Huang Quan had no choice but to say: "The young general is defeated and defeated, don't mention it, but now that he has lost more than half of his troops, should the general immediately lead the army back to Jiangzhou." ”
He thought that at this time, Guan Yu would definitely withdraw his division to the north, and there was no reason for it.
Guan Yu stood up, paced with his hands in his hands, and muttered silently.
Yang Qiu saw Guan Yu's thoughts, so he said: "General, at present, Meng Yu's surrender is imminent, if our army returns north at this time, then the previous efforts will be lost, so we must not withdraw our troops at this time." ”
Huang Quan was shocked and glared at Yang Qiu sharply.
"Don't worry, Huang Zhen, I still haven't finished speaking." Yang Qiu raised his hand to interrupt his objection, "Although the young general has broken thousands of soldiers and horses, but there are still 5,000 soldiers and horses under his hands, the general can send a good general, and then allocate a few thousand soldiers and horses to go forward, making up 10,000 soldiers and horses, plus the solidity of Jiangzhou City, I will not believe that when the general's army returns to the division." ”
His words hit Guan Yu's heart.
Guan Yu immediately nodded and praised: "You are the vision of taking into account the overall situation, so let's do it, the general will send you to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to Jiangzhou to reinforce Ping'er." ”
"The last general commands." Yang Qiu was reused, and he was secretly happy in his heart, so he was naturally happy to obey his fate.
Huang Quan's brows were furrowed, he couldn't stand Guan Yu's approach, and he wanted to persuade when he opened his mouth.
Guan Yu waved his hand and said resolutely: "It's decided, the general has made up his mind, you don't need to say too much, just wait for us to surrender Meng Shu, and immediately lead the army to Jiangzhou to fight the Su thief!" ”
Huang Quan had nothing to say, he could only shake his head and sigh.
