Chapter 196: Counting Nanyang

Although he suddenly heard the bad news, his mood was a little agitated, but Guan Yu was a veteran of the battlefield after all, and his reaction was also very fast, and the big knife in his hand came over in time and blocked Huang Zhong's big knife.

However, this time he was unprepared after all, and when he sat down on the horse, he was shocked by Huang Zhong's strength and took a few steps back.

Seeing that the other party's strength was so strong, Guan Yu aroused his fighting spirit, snorted lightly, raised the big knife in his hand and slashed at Huang Zhong again.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a spear ghostly stabbed him from behind, in his eyes, although the opponent's marksmanship was more than a step worse than Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others, but he had to guard against it.

"Who are you?" Guan Yu asked as he dodged the attacking spear.

"Wuwei Zhang Xiu is also." Zhang Xiu didn't talk nonsense, stabbed with a gun in his palm, and grabbed a corner feather with Huang Zhong.

"It seems to be him! No wonder there is such a marksmanship. When Guan Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and at the same time, his face became more gloomy, a Huang Zhong is not easy to deal with, and now with a Zhang Xiu, I am afraid that he will not be able to please today.

But what made Guan Yu feel depressed was not over, because then he saw a veteran join the battle group with a pair of iron whips.

"Who are you?" Although I feel that this person's combat power is similar to Zhang Xiu, but in the current situation, it will undoubtedly cause more pressure on himself, Guan Yu felt that the strength of the other party's iron whip was not small, and hurriedly asked.

"I'm Lingling Huang Gongfu." Huang Gai replied while holding an iron whip and striking at Guan Yu again.

Guan Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't expect that so many generals had gathered around him, so he had no choice but to resist.

But Guan Yu didn't expect that Wei Yan, Hu Che'er and others would go into battle next, and the five generals would fight around him.

If these five generals talk about combat power alone, none of them is their opponent, even if they are the strongest among them, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, if it is one-on-one, it will be a defeat sooner or later, but now that the five generals have joined forces, Hugh said that it is him, even if it was Wuyuan Lu Fengxian, who was recognized as the first in the world, I am afraid it will be difficult to support.

Guan Yu didn't expect that his usual strategy of capturing thieves and capturing the king was now like stabbing a hornet's nest and provoking so many fierce generals, he knew that not only could he not win today, but if he continued like this, he might even encounter danger to his life, so he had to grit his teeth, rise up and slash at Hu Che'er, who had the weakest combat effectiveness, and then took advantage of Hu Che'er's kung fu to dodge, and fought his way out of the encirclement.

Due to the absence of the obstacles of the generals, Guan Yu was unstoppable on this way, and the big sword opened a bloody road, and quickly rushed towards the army formation.

The soldiers under Guan Yu's command saw that their main general was fighting the enemy's five generals alone, and they were able to retreat with their whole body, and they were immediately excited, and they desperately killed the enemy in order to meet Guan Yu's return.

Guan Yu didn't have the slightest color at this time, because he learned from Huang Zhong's words just now that Nanyang had been lost, and he couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart, and now he saw the five generals of the enemy army coming out together, if he was a little worse, I am afraid that he would have confessed there today, and at this moment, he had not seen the shadow of Lu Meng, the military governor of Jingzhou, and he was even more convinced that the enemy army had captured Nanyang.

Therefore, he did not dare to fight at all, commanded the army to retreat into the city quickly, and then prepared to join Guan Ping and go to Nanyang together.

No matter what, he has to go back to see if Nanyang is occupied, because Nanyang is also a strong city, and on the way from there to Xuchang, dozens of beacon towers have been deployed, as long as Nanyang is attacked, within two hours, the news can reach his ears, he can't figure it out anyway, how can such a tight defense enemy be able to break through? Even if he breaks through, how can he not get any news?

Guan Yu led the army to Xuchang City, and quickly rushed to the direction of the imperial city, but was depressed to find that after such a long time, the eldest son Guan Ping had not yet broken through the palace gate, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and hurriedly urged the horse to come over and ask the reason.

But he heard Guan Ping smile bitterly, and said to his father: "Although there are not many soldiers and horses in the palace, the palace gate is strong, and the soldiers in the palace are guarding with danger, and we lack siege equipment in our hands, so we are helpless for a while." However, after the bloody battle of the majority of soldiers, the city gate has been loosened, and as long as it is given another quarter of an hour, the city gate will definitely be breached. ”

Guan Yu sighed and said slowly: "Since it can't be broken, then forget it, this is also the blessing of the Son of Heaven, Ping'er, retreat with your father." ”

"Huh? What the? Retreat? Father, now that we are about to break through the palace gate, if we give up like this, it will be a failure. Guan Ping looked at his father with a puzzled expression, not knowing why his father had made such a decision.

I saw my father smile bitterly, and said slowly: "Liu Qi Xiao'er actually took advantage of our army to attack Xuchang, and led the army to attack Nanyang, this is the fundamental place of our army, and there is absolutely no room for loss, we must immediately lead the army to recapture it, and now the enemy army is besieging the city, we must do our best to break through, so we have no time." ”

"It turns out that this is the case, Liu Qi'er is really insidious and despicable." Guan Ping scolded lightly, and immediately ordered the army to retreat in an orderly manner, and then under Guan Yu's arrangement, the army went out of the north city gate and made a detour in the direction of Nanyang.

But Guan Yu didn't expect that not long after his army left the North City Gate, he suddenly heard a drum beating, and then saw an earth-shattering shouting of killing coming from behind, and followed his army to kill.

After this round of killing, his own side lost two or three thousand people, and those newly attached Cao army soldiers actually fled in the chaos, so that only five or six thousand of their more than 10,000 men and horses remained.

"Damn, I was ambushed by Liu Qi'er." Although Guan Yu wanted to rush up and kill for a while, because he was worried about the safety of Nanyang, he didn't dare to fight at all, so he had to lead the remnants of the army to defeat and continue to hurry.

When the army came to the city of Wancheng, Guan Yu ordered the door to be opened, but he saw a burst of arrow feathers falling on the city, and then he saw a general on the city and said with a smile: "Is it Guan Yunchang?" The general Lu Ziming has been waiting for a long time, and now Wancheng has been under the rule of my lord. ”

Guan Yu was furious when he heard this, and immediately ordered the siege of the city, but he didn't expect that a sentry army horse suddenly came over outside the city, so he heard a general shouting: "Wang Wei has been waiting here for a long time, and Guan Yun quickly dismounted and surrendered. ”

This army went through a burst of killing, and Guan Yu's army was unstable, and there were more than a thousand people missing.

Wang Wei saw that Guan Yu led his troops to retreat, but he did not chase after him, and let the other party escape.

However, it was said that Guan Yu led the remnants of the defeated army to escape from Wancheng, so he decided to go to Runan and mobilize Liu Pi's army to recapture Nanyang, but he heard Guan Ping say: "Under the nest, there are no eggs?" Father, now that Wancheng has been lost, the child believes that Runan will also be difficult to preserve, for today's plan, please we had better enter Wuguan, wait for the lord to send troops to support, and then Xu Tu Wancheng. ”

Guan Yu sighed when he heard this: "The lord trusts me and entrusts Nanyang and Runan to me, if I give up like this, what face will I see the lord again?" I don't believe that Liu Qi'er can have so many soldiers and horses, and even Runan can take them together. ”

After that, he no longer listened to Guan Ping's advice, and led the army straight to Runan.

The army marched all the way, because the soldiers did not get a grain of rice overnight, it was difficult to walk, and hundreds of sergeants fell behind, and then fled in chaos.

Fortunately, Guan Yu treats his soldiers well on weekdays, but the remaining more than 4,000 people will not give up, and they rushed to Runan with Guan Yu.

When the army came to Wufang, a general had already greeted him outside the city and said to Guan Yu: "The last general, Liu Pi, see General Guan." ”

Guan Yu saw that Liu Bi was still alive, and his heart was a little calm, and he hurriedly returned the salute, and then asked, "I don't know why the general is here?" ”

But I heard Liu Bi sigh and said slowly: "The last general is waiting for the general here, I wonder if the general can know that Nanyang has been occupied by Lu Meng?" ”

Guan Yu nodded and sighed softly: "I just got the news, and I don't know how the thief Lu Meng occupied Wancheng quietly?" There are quite a few beacons here. ”

"The last general heard that it was Na Lu Meng who ordered him to take off his armor, pretend to be a merchant, and came to the city of Xi'e at night, and lied that he had missed the way, and asked to go to the city to take shelter from the cold. Unexpectedly, at the second watch, hundreds of sergeants came out of the goods in the car, tied down all the officers and soldiers on the beacon tower, never left, and quietly opened the city gate, and let Zhou Yu's army, which had already gathered under the city, enter the city. ”

When Liu Bi said this, he sighed again, and then continued: "After that, Zhou Yu comforted the soldiers in the city of Western Hubei for a good life, and rewarded each of them heavily, so that he could open the city gate and set fire to it. The army received the order, and Zhou Yu taught the leader, and in the middle of the night, he went to the city to call the door. The gatekeeper recognized it as the soldiers of Xi'e and opened the city gate. As soon as the army shouted, they set a trumpet fire in the gates. Jingzhou troops entered, and then attacked Nanyang, Shiren and Mi Fang, the two generals saw that the enemy could not be defeated, so they led the people to surrender. ”

"What a thief, how dare you do this!" Guan Yu was furious when he heard this, and snorted heavily: "Shameless rats, they actually adopted conspiracy methods to hurt people with secret arrows, it is really unbearable!" The general led a large army under his command to enter Nanyang with me, retake Wancheng, and kill the despicable Zhou Yu and LΓΌ Meng and other rats. ”

But seeing Liu Bi nodded and said: "The last general should obey his orders, but the generals under the command of the general have not eaten all night, it is better to have a full meal in the city now, and it is not too late for us to attack Nanyang again." ”

Guan Yu looked at the hungry soldiers under his command, and couldn't help but nod and said, "Okay, then trouble the general to make food for everyone first, wait for everyone to have a full meal, and then march into Wancheng together." ”

"General Guan, it's still early, please go to the county office to rest for a while, the last general will prepare a few glasses of thin wine for the general, please enjoy it, wait until you have recovered your strength, kill a few more thieves, and let the enemy see the general's bravery." Liu Bi took Guan Yu's arm and introduced him into the city, but a strange light inadvertently flashed in his eyes.
