Chapter Seventy-Nine: Retreat

At sunset, there was still a piece of the sun left on the mountain, as if it was struggling to prove its presence to the land, but the sound of fighting in Yique Pass continued. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Until now, it would be false to say that Liu Bei did not try his best at all, but compared to Cao Cao's initial move of forcibly breaking through the level at the cost of human life, Liu Bei's chapter was obviously slower by more than one rhythm, and the broken wooden beast was nailed to the ground by thick giant arrows, and from above, it looked like a beetle nailed to the ground by a steel needle.

However, the power of the crossbow arrows can only go so far, the murderous Jingzhou army surged out from under the cover of the wooden beast, against the rain of arrows and the continuous splashing of blood, rushed to the city in one go, the already broken siege ladder in with a famous soldier continued to climb up, constantly emitted a low wail, as if it could be broken at any time, dozens of zhang wide city pass is the whole of the battle line, countless Jingzhou soldiers surging up, with a thick bloody breath rushed to the city pass, and the Hu soldiers and horses at the head of the city fought together.

The bloody breath filled the restless air, the Qinglong knife in Guan Yu's hand had already killed many enemy heads, and he was defending a section of the city wall with dozens of school swordsmen, and the Jingzhou army had few chances to attack the city wall, so once the city wall was attacked, the Jingzhou army, which was originally as tame as a sheep, would instantly turn into the most vicious jackal, tiger and leopard.

But the opponent's contempt for human life made Guan Yu and others feel a little desperate, what were these Hu people thinking?

Guan Yu didn't understand how much charm Lu Bu had to make these Hu people willing to be cannon fodder, everyone could see that Lu Bu was using these cannon fodder to consume the spirit of the Jingzhou army, if the defenders of the city were still those soldiers of the shooting battalion, Guan Yu himself would not have the confidence to attack the city wall.

The blade in his hand rolled, and a ball of clear air wrapped in a cold sword light, killing three burly soldiers of the Western Regions under the knife, but more people rushed up to fill the vacancy in the rear, although there were still Jingzhou soldiers in the rear who took advantage of Guan Yu's cover to kill from the city, but the gap torn open was only so little, it was impossible for people to gain a foothold at all, even under the command of Guan Yu, it was impossible to expand the results of the battle.

Guan Yu took two steps back slightly, and his own school swordsman made up for his position, blocking those Hu people outside, and to cooperate with the battle array, the Jingzhou army may not be as well-trained as the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, but it is stronger than these Hu people in the Western Regions, I don't know how many times stronger.

Taking a slight breath, Guan Yu raised his eyes to look at Pang De, who was commanding Ruoding, the other party didn't care about the casualties of the soldiers at all, especially after seeing Guan Yu's power, he would definitely not easily approach Guan Yu's three zhang range, but those Hu soldiers and horses under his command were like stormy waves, surging up continuously, even if Guan Yu was a rock, under the other party's wave-like offensive, he felt that he was about to be crushed.

"Whoa~"

Looking at the excited Hu people of the Western Regions, with that terrifying and inexplicable light flashing in their eyes, rushing towards this side, Guan Yu was very similar to pry open their heads to see what the structure of their brains was?

When the normal troops are attacked by the enemy, they will inevitably panic, or their morale will drop greatly, but in the eyes of these Hu people, there is no such emotion at all, and there is only an inexplicable excitement.

Excited yarn! This is sending to death, what is there to be excited about? Guan Yu wondered if these Hu soldiers had been fed some evil medicine to make these people rush forward regardless of life and death.

For this point, Guan Yu really guessed correctly, Hua Tuo developed a very peculiar drug half a year ago, people usually don't have any reaction after eating it, but once the emotions are mobilized, they will immediately enter a state of excitement, and in this state, fear, fear, and timidity These emotions will be weakened to the minimum, some similar to stimulants, but more rough, because often taking this kind of thing, the damage to the human body is not small, and chronic poisons have a fight, the Han army, Lu Bu is expressly forbidden to use these things, But the Hu army is different, Lu Bu will not tell them anything humane, as long as it is necessary, even if the sacrifice of 100,000 Hu people can be exchanged for the life of a Han person, Lu Bu feels that it is worth it.

This kind of hand-to-hand battle, generally one side is killed to collapse, the other side begins to slaughter, this is common sense, but today's battle, obviously broke this common sense, Guan Yu and others around, has been laid a thick layer of corpses, there are enemies, there are also Jingzhou's own people, but these corpses can not stop those obviously abnormal Hu people, under the attack of these Hu people one after another, the cracks torn by Jingzhou soldiers are shrinking, and the space for movement is becoming less and less.

"General, withdraw, the soldiers can't bear it, these Hu people are crazy!" Xing Daorong killed Guan Yu's side, panting like a cow and pulling Guan Yu, and said in a wailing voice, he was really a little scared.

"How can you retreat before you have a golden sound! Kill all these Hu people for me! Guan Yu snorted angrily, the big knife in his hand slashed through a strange arc of light, and the two human heads rose into the sky, and the ground under his feet could no longer see the original color.

Xing Daorong had no choice but to continue fighting.

At the same time, Pang De, who was in charge of commanding the battle, sneered and looked at Guan Yu, Guan Yu's movements at this time were obviously sluggish, maybe today, he could kill this famous general in the world and achieve his reputation.

"General, if we continue to kill like this, will our losses be too great?" Wei Yue looked at Pang De with a wry smile.

"It doesn't matter, as long as Guan Yu can be left behind today, no matter how big the loss is, it will be worth it." Pang De didn't care about casualties, anyway, these were Hu soldiers, to put it bluntly, they were slave soldiers, if they could exchange slave soldiers for Guan Yu's life, it would be worth it.

"Bell Bell Bell ~"

In the distance, the sound of gold came from Liu Bei's military camp, Pang De frowned, looked around, but saw that the Jingzhou soldiers who attacked the city wall in several other ways had been repulsed, and now only Guan Yu was left, obviously there was no hope of breaking the city, Liu Bei was worried about Guan Yu's safety, so he had to give up this rare opportunity.

"General, let's go!" Xing Daorong heard the sound of Mingjin, and suddenly felt like he had been amnestied, and if he continued to fight, he was afraid that he would have to explain here today.

"Let's go!" Guan Yu sighed lightly, glanced at Pang De, who was looking at him coldly, turned over, climbed over the city wall, stepped on the ladder and came down, Xing Daorong followed, and then saw at least five or six Hu soldiers jumping up directly from the city wall and smashing them directly with their bodies.

"Maniac!"

The siege ladder was directly broken, and Guan Yu and Xing Daorong were thrown into pieces, looking at the Hu soldiers around them with bursting brains, the two couldn't help but scold in unison, and none of the school swordsmen who followed Guan Yu to kill the city wall failed to escape, Guan Yu hated in his heart, but he also knew that this was not the time to care about this, so together with Xing Daorong, he propped up a piece of wooden armor and quickly retreated.

"Bang Bang Bang~"

In a series of muffled sounds, some giant arrows even shot through the wooden armor, almost nailing this wooden armor to the ground, Guan Yu cut off the giant arrow rooted in the ground with a knife, and Xing Daorong quickly broke away from the other party's range.

In Liu Bei's camp, watching Guan Yu come back safely, Liu Bei finally breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want his right-hand man to have any losses, the battle in the past few days was not smooth, but it didn't make Liu Bei worry too much, Cao Cao's side gradually transformed from the beginning of the onslaught into a defensive position, and now, relying on the previous camp to rebuild a fortress outside the Tiger Prison Pass, Liu Bei was also dumbfounded, but Cao Cao can do this, Liu Bei can't, the terrain outside Yique Pass is diffusion, even if a checkpoint is built here, It doesn't make much sense.

"Big brother, there will be a burden in the end!" Guan Yu knelt down bitterly in front of Liu Bei, and he failed to attack the city again.

"Yun Chang is fine, I have heard about the situation in the city, and I can't complain about you." Liu Bei sighed, except for Guan Yu's troops, the other soldiers who attacked the city wall were driven down, Guan Yu was the first to go to the city, but he fought until Ming Jin before retreating, which shows that Guan Yu really tried his best.

"General Yun Chang will rest for a few days first, and before we discussed with the lord, the soldiers will fight day after day, and they will also have a rest." Shi Tao comforted Guan Yu.

"Big brother, do you want a truce?" Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei in surprise.

"Hmm." Liu Bei nodded, and with Lu Bu continuously pulling people from all countries in the Western Regions as cannon fodder and meat shields, there was little hope of breaking through Yique Pass.

What really worries Liu Bei is that Jiangdong in the rear has been dishonest recently, Zhuge Liang's letter has been delivered this morning, Liu Bei didn't have much emotion about Zhou Yu's death, but the meaning behind this matter made him have to worry about it.

Now the two roads in front of Liu Bei make Liu Bei a little difficult to choose, according to Liu Bei's original plan, is to follow the example of the Han ancestor Liu Bang to pick up cheap, after all, Cao Cao has a lot of people, and when he attacked Luoyang to fight almost, Liu Bei took the opportunity to exert force, take advantage of the weakness, and enter Luoyang first.

However, Cao Cao is not Xiang Yu, Lu Bu is not the Qin State that has declined back then, the combat effectiveness of the Guanzhong Group is so strong that it is far beyond Liu Bei's cognition, and then a steady stream of Hu people were sent over to fight with them, so that Liu Bei couldn't stand it anymore, and he had already sprouted a retreat in his heart, especially Zhuge Liang had explained in the letter that the situation in Jingxiang was not very good, and Zhuge Liang was also preparing to send troops to Shuzhong, in order to prevent Jiangdong from taking advantage of the situation, Liu Bei needed to return to Jingzhou to sit in the town.

But Liu Bei also knows that if he retreats at this moment, then this alliance will be over, with Cao Cao's absolute difficulty in breaking Luoyang, it is equivalent to the princes being slapped in the face, and then they will be in a very disadvantageous political position, Lu Bu will proclaim himself king, this is basically a consensus, at that time, no one can stop Lu Bu, and the trust between the princes has been lost, and it is impossible to have another alliance.
