Guan Yu's retreat was not as easy as he thought, and after leaving the battlefield for two days and two nights, the scout suddenly came to report that there were enemy troops in the rear of the army, but the scout's words were very awkward, because he couldn't describe what the tank was, and in the end he could only use the words of a steel monster.

Guan Yu didn't look as surprised as the people around him when he heard the steel monster, he had seen too much magic in Yuan Yun, even if what the scout said was very unreasonable at this moment, he still chose to believe it.

"Aside from those steel monsters, do you see big balls floating in the air?" When Guan Yu asked, a cold light had already begun to flicker in his eyes, and he seemed to be making some kind of plan in his heart.

The scout immediately reported that he did not see a large ball that could float in the air, only that it was all steel monsters, and behind these monsters were the cavalry composed of the Hu people.

Blindly escaping will only make the Gunpowder Army more arrogant, Guan Yu quickly made a decision to teach these pursuers some painful lessons, so these Yizhou cavalry immediately stopped, and then began to 'ambush' on this seemingly unconcealed plain.

The so-called ambush is nothing more than digging a huge crater in the ground, and the gunpowder army, which does not have a hot air balloon reconnaissance, will definitely find such an ambush, after all, it is so much lower than the ground, and if you observe it from a distance, you will only think that there is nothing.

Tens of thousands of people worked at the same time, and these huge tunnels to cover the traces were quickly dug up, and the location chosen by Guan Yu was also very good, and in the middle of the avenue there were still some cavalry traces of the army, and on both sides were the arrangements of those who were ready to assault the gunpowder army.

By noon on this day, the temperature of the scorching sun baked this land very hot, and the ambush soldiers hiding in the tunnel were sweating profusely, but none of them complained, they knew very well the intention of the commander Guan Yu, that is, to wipe out all the enemy's pursuers here.

When the quiet earth suddenly began to tremble, the rumbling roar also reached the ears of the ambushers, and through the tunnel observation port, the ambushers really saw the steel monsters that the scouts had spoken, all of which were spewing thick black smoke, and then drove in three rows.

Zhao Yun was originally in the Hu cavalry, when the evening of the second day, he found that the physical strength of the knights around him was almost to the limit, but these tanks continued to spit black smoke and walked forward leisurely, so naturally, he also got on a tank and handed over the command of the cavalry to the deputy general.

Zhao Yun kept looking at the observation mouth, but still didn't find anything wrong, so he continued to drive forward with all his might, and on the endless plain, there was not even a single movement, which made him a little careless.

Suddenly, a ringing arrow pierced the air, in the noisy roar of the tank, the sound of this ringing arrow was particularly pleasant, the sharp sound had just disappeared, Zhao Yun passed through the observation port, and saw countless human heads gushing out at both ends of the horizon, and in an instant, these heads turned into fierce knights.

The sound of a large number of knights charging instantly drowned out the roar of the tank, and in just a dozen breaths, the arrows fired by these cavalry had fallen like rain, and the gunpowder soldiers inside the tank soon heard the clanging sound coming from the shell.

When these clanging sounds ended, a new sound was heard from the battlefield, and the rattling was very rhythmic, and the Gatling installed in the tank finally began to wield, and countless ballistics joined into a large dense line, and thus began to strafe back and forth in the ambushed cavalry.

Many knights didn't understand why they had fallen from their horses, and before the last of their sanity was gone, they could only see a lot of blood holes in front of their bodies, and the blood holes behind them were even bigger and more terrifying.

The density of the cavalry is far beyond the imagination of the tankers, the dense bullets did not block all the men and horses, there are still many ambushes rushed to the front, and at this time, the tanks that were originally piled up left like wild horses that have escaped and began to rush towards Sizhou, and the enemy who passed by, whether it was people or horses, was ruthlessly crushed like tofu.

On such an open and flat land, the function of the tank was exerted to the extreme, and the monsters spitting black smoke finally released their long-suppressed power in the battle of the southern expedition.

The roar of the engine, the screams of the men and horses, and the strafing sound of countless Gatlings completely formed the main theme of this battle, and after a few sticks of incense, the dust on this dry land gradually fell, and the ground in sight was no longer green and earthy yellow, but a large amount of bright red blood.

Guan Yu saw this scene from a distance, and couldn't help but close his eyes in pain, he even lost his grief and anger at this moment, only full of helplessness and a sense of depression that he was unable to resist.

"Let the brothers retreat, leave those who are wounded and the warriors alone, let's get out of here as soon as possible, these steel monsters are strong, but they are not fast, it will not be difficult for us to get rid of them." After explaining to Guan Ping, Guan Yu did not stay any longer, and immediately urged the mount to leave the battle formation.

Guan Ping looked at the tragedy on the battlefield, and his face lost his previous calmness, he didn't have Guan Yu's previous idea until this moment, that is, if he wants to win in the face of the Gunpowder Army, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.

After the battle was over, Zhao Yun only let the black smoke tanks be repaired for a short time, and sent a message to the cavalry regiment that followed behind, so that they could finish it, and then continued to move forward.

Chasing Guan Yu's team all the way, the distance was constantly shrinking, and in the early morning of the second day, Guan Yu suddenly found that the other party didn't need any rest, but his team was full of living people.

And every time Guan Yu gave the order to rest, there were scouts who soon came to report that those steel monsters were already not far away.

In this way, the two sides are like an endurance race, everyone seems to be competing for their own endurance, but this idea is just Guan Yu's idea, and after another day, those steel monsters have already chased their tails, and the rear of the army has been bombarded by enemy artillery several times, resulting in the sacrifice of nearly a thousand people.

After calculating the distance behind a little, Guan Yu's brows furrowed again, at the current speed, sooner or later they will be caught up by the gunpowder army, and these days, the soldiers under his command have long been tired, and it is very difficult to fight or go back now.

"Divide the troops!" Guan Yu made a decision again, now twisting together, it must be the enemy's key tracking object, only by separating is it more secure, only by breaking up all the soldiers, it is possible to confuse the pursuers of the Gunpowder Army, or hesitate, so as to win more time.

After Guan Yu's order was issued, Guan Ping and Zhou Cang led a team to retreat in other directions, while Guan Yu personally led the main force to continue to drag the pursuing soldiers of the Gunpowder Army.

In this way, another day, Guan Yu received the report of the scout, and the pursuers did not divide their troops, but still drove along the road in the direction of Chengdu, completely ignoring Guan Ping and Zhou Cang's troops.

After Guan Yu heard the news, there was no better way than to sigh secretly, because the other party seemed to see through his thoughts, that is, no matter how he divided his troops, in the end, these people would go to the direction of Chengdu, so as long as they chased all the way to Chengdu, they would not worry about losing it.

"Send a few scouts to inform Guan Ping and Zhou Cang, so that they don't need to return to Chengdu, go straight to Mianzhu Pass, participate in the defense there, and as for the battle in the direction of Chengdu, let them ignore it, no matter what happens, they must not leave Mianzhu Pass." After explaining this, Guan Yu instantly shouted, and then slapped his horse and galloped out.

When several heralds heard Guan Yu's order, they were a little dazed, Guan Ping and Zhou Cangke took away two-thirds of the army, so they all went to Mianzhu Pass, so who will guard Chengdu? After the past few days of fighting, these lower-level soldiers have clearly felt that they are not the opponents of the Gunpowder Army at all, and it always feels a little strange to divide the forces to Mianzhu Pass at this time.

However, since Guan Yu gave the order, no one dared to disobey it, so these heralds could only convey the order honestly.

Seeing that the herald acted according to his orders, Guan Yu's face inexplicably showed a wry smile, he was already very clear about the result of dealing with the gunpowder army, and now all he asked was for Guan Ping or Zhou Cang to survive and guard in Mianzhu Pass, and not participate in the battle of Chengdu, so once Chengdu fell, Mianzhu Pass could choose to surrender.

As for himself, Guan Yu felt that he was going to die with Liu Bei no matter what, even if he was certain to lose, at least he had to fulfill the promise of the year, that is, he would die in the same month and year of the same year.

In this way, two days later, Guan Yu's team finally reached the limit, and those terrifying steel monsters finally chased closer, at this moment it was flat, there was no way to hide, there was no way to dodge, there was no choice but to fight.

But even in battle, the soldiers under his command have long lost their original fighting spirit, and they have become tired soldiers at the moment, and the battle is definitely not good, so there is only a rout all the way to choose, at least this can ensure that some people survive.

Thinking of this, Guan Yu did not hesitate any longer, and gave the order to let the troops disperse, at this time, only by relying on their survival instincts, and then trying to survive, there was no one to help them.

When the order was issued, everyone was very confused, they had never heard of a general giving such an order, but when they saw that the main general Guan Yu actually began to dismiss his own soldiers, no one doubted the authenticity of the order, so more than 30,000 people each rode horses towards the four states and began to flee, and the scene was a little inexplicably spectacular.

Guan Yu didn't choose to run away, because those steel monsters of the Gunpowder Army had already appeared in front of him, and he needed to create some time for the fleeing soldiers, so he could only use his words Guan Yu to drag the other party's footsteps.

When Guan Yu sat down with this decision, he suddenly found that all the soldiers who were sent away had returned, and none of them chose to escape alone, and it was also at this time that Guan Ping and Zhou Cang also rushed back.

"Father-in-law, I handed over the command of the army to the adjutant general, there was no war in Mianzhu Pass on this road, and they are competent enough." After Guan Ping finished speaking, he smiled freely.

After Zhou Cang heard Guan Ping finish speaking, he just hugged his fist, then pulled the reins of the horse, and came to Guan Yu's right side, which has always been his position, standing here at this moment, he has a sense of belonging again, which made his originally somewhat chaotic psychology settle down immediately.

Seeing the two of them like this, Guan Yu just smiled heroically, and didn't blame anything, because at this time, there was no need to say anything, as long as they died together.
