Chapter 195: The Loss of Nanyang
However, it was said that Guan Yu commanded more than 7,000 people, changed from the rear team to the front team, and drove directly to the city gate, wanting to defeat Xuchang's reinforcements in one go.
When the army went out of the city gate, Guan Yu saw a group of men and horses gathered on the other side of the moat not far away, and when this army saw his army out of the city gate, he immediately fired arrows from a distance, and his own team immediately lost hundreds of people.
Guan Yu was furious in his heart, but he still forcibly restrained himself and ordered the army to form a circular formation and erect shields to defend against the enemy's bows and arrows.
After a few moments, the enemy troops on the other side of the moat stopped shooting arrows, but shouted loudly to kill.
Because Guan Yu led the army to fill the river before, the moat was almost filled, but now there is no obstacle, and the enemy army directly stepped on the filled moat to kill his own army.
Guan Yu's expression did not move at all, and he looked coldly at the enemy army rushing over, as if he was looking at a dead man, and at the same time ordered the army to change its formation and meet the enemy with bows and crossbows.
I saw that the feather arrows fell densely in the enemy formation like raindrops, and with this burst of arrow feathers, there was a scream in the enemy formation.
Although it is speculated that his round of arrow rain can cause at least hundreds of casualties to the enemy, Guan Yu knows that the main purpose of his round of arrow rain is not to casualties, but to hit the morale of the enemy.
And the fact is that as expected, this round of arrow rain went down, and the morale of the enemy army was really frustrated, and the action became slightly slowdown.
"Hey, it's now." I saw a sharp glint flash in Guan Yu's eyes, and then he rode his horse and rushed towards the enemy.
Because the other party has been rushing forward to kill, now less than 100 steps away from where Guan Yu is, plus Guan Yu sat down on the horse is a famous horse, the divine horse is abnormal, so it only takes a few breaths to kill the front of the formation, before the enemy has time to react, the big knife in his hand raised a cold light, and killed more than a dozen enemy guards in the front row on the spot.
The enemy only reacted at this time, and they formed a formation to resist the enemy, but it was too late at all, because Guan Yuma was fast and fast, and he quickly fought a bloody way and rushed directly to the main general.
The enemy's main general is named Li Tong, the word Wenda, a native of Yiyang, and a famous general under Cao Cao's account, Cao Cao was defeated in the battle of Anzhong, and fled to Xuchang in panic. In the first few days, because of the Guandu War, Liu Beice opposed the people of Nanyang and Runan, and the entire south of Xuchang was full of people's hearts, but only Yang'an, where Li Tong was located, was not affected in any way, which shows that this person's ability to command troops is by no means ordinary.
After Li Tong received the news from Xun Yu, he immediately reorganized his troops and horses to come to the rescue. When he came to the city of Xuchang, he immediately saw the melee between the city and the city, and at the same time expected that the other party would definitely have an ambush outside the city, so Li Tong planned and led a small group of soldiers and horses to advance, luring out the ambush of Chang Xuan, and then led the main force to outflank him, and shot the enemy's main general in the early stage, and the army of 5,000 people immediately dispersed.
Li informed Guan Yu that an enemy army had entered the city to report to Guan Yu, but did not stop it, but actively lined up outside the city, waited for the enemy army to arrive, and then ordered the archers to shoot and kill, and then took advantage of the opponent's panic to lead the army to launch a fierce attack and annihilate this army in one fell swoop.
Although he had overestimated Guan Yu's ability as much as possible, Li Tong still didn't expect the other party to be so brave, so when Guan Yu rushed over, he didn't make any preparations at all, until the other party came to him like a killing god, and hurriedly raised the gun in his hand and stabbed it.
But he found that the other party snorted, held a knife in his right hand, and slashed directly at his gun, and at the same time, he took out a halberd on his back, raised his hand, and a cold light flashed, and the halberd pierced his throat like a streamer.
Li Tong only felt a sharp pain coming, and then found that he could no longer breathe, and then he was horrified to find that the halberd had passed directly diagonally through his throat and shot out from behind.
"How is this possible? How can there be such a brave general in this world? Li Tong looked at Guan Yu in front of him in disbelief, he wanted to stab Guan Yu hard, but found that his arms no longer had any strength, and finally he could only hang down in despair, and then he heard a crisp impact sound when the spear landed.
Then Li Tong's body fell off the horse with Guan Yu's halberd and lay on the cold ground.
Guan Yu looked at the scene in front of him with disdain, rode forward again, and cut off Li Tong's general flag with a knife. Then he waved his knife and cut off Li Tong's head in the stunned eyes of the soldiers under Li Tong's command, and shouted: "The main general is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed." â
Today's Guan Yu is like a peerless god of war, standing proudly, making the soldiers under Li Tong's command all frightened, and they threw down their weapons and surrendered without any resistance.
And those soldiers under Guan Yu looked at their main generals with infinite admiration, this is the mythical existence of zĂ i, invincible, invincible, following such a main general, it is very difficult to win.
Guan Yu naturally knew the thoughts of the soldiers under his command, although he was proud in his heart, his face was still calm, and he ordered someone to collect this surrendered army, and then said lightly: "Everyone go to the palace with me to welcome the Son of Heaven." â
"No." These soldiers agreed with a bang, and then turned back to the team and followed Guan Yu towards the city.
But at this moment, a drum was suddenly heard, and almost at the same time, the sound of breaking the air was heard continuously, and the strong bows and crossbows poured out densely again.
Since everyone was turning back to the city and there was no guard in their hearts, this time the crossbow arrows caused a lot of casualties to Guan Yu's army.
The 3,000 surrenders that had just surrendered to him were almost completely lost.
"Damn, the surrendered troops that I managed to recruit were shot and killed by the enemy like this, if I don't teach the enemy a lesson, what face do I stand proud of in the world?"
Guan Yu snorted coldly, then turned his mount, waved the big knife in his hand, and rushed in the direction of the enemy general's cover again.
Guan Yu rode his horse and galloped wildly, and at the same time, he saw that the enemy's formation was not neat, and the soldiers under his command were even more afraid of themselves, and they almost did not encounter any strong resistance along the way, so they couldn't help but shake their heads secretly, it seems that the reason why they lost so many men and horses this time is not that the enemy army has strong combat effectiveness, but can only be said to be caused by the enemy's shameless sneak attack by taking advantage of their own backs.
Of course, he would not take such an enemy team in his eyes, and he could even imagine the shock caused to the enemy soldiers after he galloped in front of the enemy army and killed the enemy general with one sword.
"Even generals like Li Dian and Li Tong can be captured and killed by me, what kind of famous generals in Cao Cao's army can block my surprise attack now? Hehe, I know that the fierce generals under Cao Cao who are really qualified to fight with me are all on the front line of Guandu, and except for Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Xiahou Xuan, and Xiahou Yuan, other generals will not be taken into my eyes at all. â
Therefore, Guan Yu didn't care about the enemy army that suddenly came in, and he didn't even care who the enemy's commander was.
Anyway, no matter who it is, there is only one death in the end, so why bother to find out now?
According to the established routine in the past, Guan Yu rode down the war horse, broke under the enemy's command like a fly, and then raised his broadsword and accurately slashed at the general's head.
At this time, Guan Yu also looked at the commander of the enemy army by the way, and found that it was an unknown general who he didn't even know, and he was even more relieved, his knife was fast and steady, and he believed that he would definitely be able to kill the enemy with one move.
But he didn't expect that at this moment, he saw that the general, who was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, suddenly exuded a powerful momentum, and he was also holding a big knife in his hand, and he didn't hesitate to put the big knife in his hand.
Although he was surprised why this general had such skills, Guan Yu still didn't take the other party to heart, and the big knife in his hand slashed down without stopping.
And the general also didn't know what to do, and the big knife in his hand collided with his big knife without any fancy fancy.
Immediately, he felt a strong force coming, Guan Yu's chest suddenly felt stagnant, his two arms were numb, and he could barely hold the big knife.
"This enemy general has so much strength, it seems that he is by no means unknown." Guan Yu saw that he went down with a knife, not only did he not take the other party's life, but his arm was numb by the shock, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart, and looked at the other party's gray beard, and he really couldn't think of when such a powerful knife veteran appeared in Cao Ying.
"Who are you? Do you dare to tell your name? Guan Yu was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked.
"Haha, Guan Yu Pifu, are you surprised? Why did a master appear in Cao Cao's army? The veteran had a hard fight with Guan Yu just now, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and it took a lot of effort to forcibly suppress the blood that he wanted to spurt out, so he asked with a loud laugh.
"Cao Cao's army? Aren't you a military general under Cao Cao? So who are you? Guan Yu's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, and then asked in a deep voice.
"Hehe, I said to you today, I am Nanyang Huang Hansheng, on the order of the right general to attack Xuchang, cooperate with General Yuan, Guan Yu Pifu, your Nanyang has been taken away by our army, Mi Fang, Shiren surrendered, Gong was killed, if you know each other, obediently dismount and surrender, maybe you can be spared death, otherwise, I am afraid that you will not be able to fly today."
"Huh? What the? It turned out to be Liu Qi's child! How dare he take the opportunity of my attack on Xuchang to attack Nanyang? Guan Yu's eyes turned black when he heard this, and he almost fell off the horse.
At this moment, the big knife in Huang Zhong's hand slashed down without hesitation, and Guan Yu's life was about to be lost.
