Chapter Ninety-Nine: Desperate Charge, Wuqu Falls
According to Cao Shuang's siege of Qichun for seven days, during which Guan Yu reluctantly launched the whole city to defend the city, regardless of gender. As soon as the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info came out, it barely resisted Cao Jun's attack. But with the passage of time, there were too many people killed in the war, and a large number of people who were forced to defend the city fled without permission. Guan Yu is now close to having no troops available, and his son Guan Ping has been persuading him to break through before, but unfortunately Guan Yu's stubbornness missed the best opportunity to break through. In order to avenge the murder of his father, Cao Shuang did not follow any art of war, but surrounded him on all sides like an iron bucket, not giving Guan Yu the slightest chance to break through.
"Father, now that the people in Qichun City are scattered, and Ding Zhuang, who is defending the city, has also fled one after another, you have to think of a way, otherwise you may not even be able to hold out for a day tomorrow." Guan Ping ran over excitedly and said to Guan Yu.
"Frankly, what do I want, you don't know if you care?" Guan Yu shouted angrily.
After Guan Ping heard it, he understood that Guan Yu had now made up his mind to defend it, and he didn't dare to continue asking, but just said: "If the father is above, the son will follow." ”
The situation is very critical, the Cao army began to attack before dawn, and now Guan Yu still has 800 soldiers in his hands to be used, and everyone is injured. A sad and angry sentiment spread in the hearts of everyone, and with Guan Yu's order, he opened the city gate and launched a decisive charge against the oncoming Cao army. This is a helpless choice, if you simply defend, it is estimated that you will not have lunch and the city will be ruined. Perhaps making such a move here is only Jingwei reclamation, which will not help. But what a great man Guan Yu is, he would rather die on the road of charging than shrink back in the city and wait to be killed.
"Kill." In the midst of Guan Yu's shouting and killing, these generals, soldiers and sons who had followed Guan Yu for many years rushed towards tens of thousands of Cao Jun with the blades in their hands. No battle can be described in two words: heroic.
Guan Yu used a series of three knives, rushed all the way, and slashed three generals in a row, and his bravery did not diminish back then. Cao Shuang knew that his martial arts were not much stronger than his father Cao Zhen, and seeing that Guan Yu was so brave, he did not rush forward recklessly to fight. Instead, he ordered his generals to resist Guan Yu, and took out the three-stone rhinoceros horn brute cloud bow that Cao Cao rewarded him with back then, and put on a special three-pronged steel arrowhead.
"Jump." With a loud sound, the three-pronged arrow shot out like a meteor.
Guan Yu was fighting, he heard the sound of a bowstring in his ears, the secret path was not good, and many years of experience in battlefield fighting made him hurriedly dodge sideways. However, Cao Shuang's divine power, coupled with the strength of this rhino horn bow, was so fast that it was impossible to avoid it, and it shot directly through Guan Yu's right arm.
"When." The Qinglong Glaive Knife in Guan Yu's hand fell off his hand and fell to the ground, tearing the muscles and blood vessels of the three-pronged arrow, and with the impact force, it directly strangled the nerve in Guan Yu's right arm. Guan Yu, who was disarmed, strangled the horse with his left hand and fled reflexively.
And the arrow of the three-pronged arrow had already been coated with strong poison by Cao Shuang, and less than a few dozen meters after Guan Yu reflexively fled, the whole person fell off the horse's back with poisonous hair. Guan Ping, who was behind, saw this scene and hurriedly killed his horse to rescue. It's a pity that Cao Shuang won't give him a chance like this, the second, third, three-pronged poisonous arrows shot out of Cao Shuang's hands and were inserted in Guan Ping's back one after another. In this battle, Guan Yu's father and son were killed, and Qi Chun was broken.
And the news came, Liu Bei's side was still gathering soldiers and horses, and he had not yet set off. When Liu Bei heard that Guan Yu's father and son were killed in battle, a mouthful of old blood spurted out in a single scene, his eyes turned black, and the whole person fainted instantly. Zhang Fei, who was already sad and indignant, was even more furious when he saw Liu Bei like this. Regardless of Cui Zhouping's stopping, he was going to fight Cao Shuang with 10,000 horses.
By the time Liu Bei was rescued by everyone, Zhang Fei's brigade had already set off for half a day. And with Zhang Fei's stubborn character, he will never listen to dissuasion, Liu Bei hurriedly asked Ji Cui Zhouping how to deal with the current situation. But before Cui Zhouping could say anything, the scouts came to report again, and Changsha Sun Quan sent Lu Xun and Lu Su to send 50,000 troops to attack. This is to add insult to injury, and the knife is salted. Immediately, Liu Bei panicked instantly, his total army was only 16,000, Guan Yu lost 5,000, Zhang Fei took away another 10,000, and now there are only 1,000 defenders. 1,000 to 50,000, even if the grandson was alive back then, there must be nothing to be done.
Cui Zhouping saw that Liu Bei's eyes were scattered, and the secret way was not good, if he didn't hurry up and find a way now, it was estimated that Liu Bei would be abolished from now on. As a courtier, he still has hope for Liu Bei, otherwise Xu Yuanzhi recommended him at the beginning, and it is estimated that he would not come. So, he hurriedly spoke: "The lord's plan now is to invite the two sons of the Liu family in Jingzhou to come out." ”
Liu Bei, who had already panicked, seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw in the water, and hurriedly said: "Yes, even if Liu Qi and Liu Cong don't think about the same clan, they will take care of the truth that their lips are cold and their teeth are dying, and I will immediately repair the book and send it to the two sons." ”
Just do it, now that the situation is urgent, Liu Bei can't take care of it so much, and the two brothers promised various benefits respectively, and said euphemistically that as long as anyone helps me, I will support whoever I will support in the future. Then he photographed two people of insight who could speak well and send them away, and now this is Liu Bei's only hope, everything can only be left to fate.
But Liu Bei is a person who does not believe in fate, how many times he has spent time in the bloody storm, how many times he has passed by the god of death, and how many times he has woken up from a nightmare in the middle of the night. The second brother is gone, and the third brother doesn't know what happened to him desperately. He Liu Bei must not sit still, and hurriedly summoned Ding Zhuang to replenish the new soldiers. This is what Liu Bei is best at, and then the prestige on weekdays, Liu Bei quickly gathered four or five thousand people. It doesn't matter if he is old, weak, sick or disabled, as long as he can take up arms to kill the enemy, he recruits them.
Although Xiaoxiong is still Xiaoxiong, when he is preparing for the war, he is also thinking about a way out. Jingzhou may be his Liu Bei's last road, if it really can't work, he can only give up his territory and go to Jingzhou Liu Cong. No matter what, he is still Liu Cong's ally. Secretly, he has already transferred his wife, concubine, son and daughter to Jingzhou, presumably Liu Cong will not be too embarrassed in his face. On the one hand, it is fooling the newly recruited soldiers, arousing their desire to defend their homeland and their hope for the future.
Liu Bei shouted to the soldiers under his command: "To prepare for this battle, you should let go of all hope in your heart." For the sake of your homeland, for your parents, wives and children, wield the big knife in your hands to resist the invasion of the Jiangdong thieves, and we are willing to fight with the Jiangdong thieves to the end. ”
