Chapter 245 Ambush and capture Li Dian alive, and the whole army entered Runan

It is said that Li Dian was put on a horse by the adjutant general and escaped from the West Gate with a group of soldiers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThere is a small town called Gwangju to the west of Gusi-seong, and there is a bridge from the north of Gwangju that allows you to cross the Huai River and go to Runnam-seong.

Li Dian rushed out of the west gate in a panic, and hundreds of cavalry with tens of thousands of infantry behind him ran out tremblingly. Li Dian and those lieutenant generals and cavalry were better, but those infantry were not so strong. After several days of city defense, they have been exhausted, where do they still have the physical strength to run and escape? Running out of the city, they had not been long behind the cavalry before they were left behind.

Lehi, who was hiding on the sidelines, watched the defeated army in the city flee and knew it was time to act on his own. But they waited for half an hour before the more than 10,000 infantry escaped from the city. The commander of the cavalry battalion of the regiment said with a smile: "General, look at where these defeated soldiers have a little combat power?" Not to mention that there are still cavalry from General Sun's division in front of them blocking the way, even without them, we can kill all these people alone! ”

Li Hai smiled and said, "Master Xu is clever. The tactics of the tired army in the past few days have caused the enemy's combat strength to be completely lost. Because he was worried that the enemy army would be ruined, he fought against the water. And the setting up of a three-attack and one-release game made me and General Sun set up an ambush. So interlocking, it shows its resourcefulness! ”

"What should we do with such a tired army? Please show the general! The other commander asked.

"Then Li Dian has already led the cavalry to throw off these foot soldiers. They have no intention of fighting in their hearts, and we only need cavalry to rush up and kill a few people to deter them, and then we can make them surrender! Lehi watched the more than 10,000 soldiers flee from the city exhausted, and said, "A battalion of cavalry took the lead in rushing and rushing straight over, and those who stood in the way could be cut off, and rushed to the front to flank Li Dian and other cavalry with General Sun." The rest of the four battalions will follow me to collect these more than 10,000 prisoners. ”

Five Commanders lead the way.

A battalion of cavalry was the first to rush out. The commander hung up his spear and plucked two banners from his back. The two deputy commanders on his side swung their spears, and each led two hundred and fifty men to kill in two columns. The rest of the Commanders and another Commander followed, charging in columns.

Soon, the fleeing foot soldiers ran to both sides of the road, one by one whining and shouting, all clenching their teeth, and exerting their strength to feed, for fear that one of them would lose their lives if they ran slowly. They were all ruthless to themselves, and when their parents gave birth to themselves, they gave birth to two legs less.

It is a pity that they can run on two legs and four legs of horses, and the thousand cavalry swept through like autumn wind sweeping leaves, taking away thousands of lives in an instant, and countless people were injured. Those brothers, parents and fathers want to fight back when they see their relatives injured or killed, the damned enemy has already taken it, and the damned one behind actually clicked himself......

Besides, General Li Dian took a few lieutenants and less than a thousand cavalry on his horse and fled desperately. About half an hour later, Li Dian suddenly reined in the horse's silk reins and looked ahead in a daze.

The lieutenant general behind him looked at Li Dian's line of sight, and was suddenly speechless with fright.

I saw that the black pressure in the center of the avenue in front of me turned out to be all cavalry. The general at the head is not a bystander, it is the enemy general who fought with General Li Dian until the remnants of the army returned, Sun Guan!

Sun Guan saw Li Dian stop his horse, waved his hand on the horse, and slowly pressed up with five thousand cavalry, and shouted far away: "Where does General Li want to go in such a hurry?" I have been waiting here for a long time! ”

Only then did Li Dian understand why people let go of the West Gate and not attack, it turned out that they had set up a trap and waited for him to drill in! He looked back at the cavalry behind him, which was less than a thousand people, and there was not a single foot soldier, knowing that he had lost it! I just ran away on my horse, and the tiredness of those foot soldiers for days can keep up with my fast horse! Now that it is far less than the strength of others, how can it be an opponent of others? Anyway, I'll go up and fight with that Sun Guan first. If I win by luck, I may have a chance to survive these days!

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Dian shook the reins, rode out, and shouted loudly: "Sun Guan, do you dare to fight with me?" ”

Sun Guan laughed, waved the newly built big knife, rode out, and said: "General Li, the two battles a few days ago were not enjoyable, I don't know if I can have fun today!" Please! As he spoke, he made a gesture of asking for battle.

Li Dian's spear was also rebuilt, and when Sun Guan finished speaking, he was not polite, and he screwed the spear and stabbed it.

When Sun Guan saw the gun coming, he didn't panic, he waved the big knife flatly, looked at the barrel of the gun, and put the gun aside, not waiting for the knife to get old, with one left hand and one right hand, the knife went towards Li Dian's choked throat, fast and ruthless.

Li Dian's spear was castrated, put the gun up, and knocked it out. Stopped the knife.

The two of you come and go, I come and go, knives come and go, guns and bayonets cut, and the fight is inseparable. Before you know it, the two have fought hundreds of rounds. Gradually, Li Dian felt that his stamina was insufficient, and he couldn't support it anymore. Think about it, what kind of days has Li Dian been living these days? Can it be compared to Sun Guan, who is in a very good state of cultivation? Originally, the two were on par, and they forcibly compared a person who had not slept for several days and was extremely weak in both mental and physical condition with a person who was in a good state of cultivation, and it was clear at a glance who won and which lost!

Sun Guan waved a long knife to the top of Mount Tai, slashed at Li Dian's gun, and shook Li Dian off the horse. Li Dian's lieutenants wanted to be rescued. But after all, they are people who have not rested well for days, and their reaction speed is still not as good as that of the Sichuan army commander who is in good shape, they saw Li Dian fall off his horse, and rushed up instantly, and several big guns were placed on Li Dian's neck.

Sun Guan saw that Li Dian was tied up and said: "A regiment of cavalry is good to take care of Li Dian." The others charge with me! After speaking, he took the lead and met the deputy general Li Dian who was rushing over, brandished his long knife, and single-handedly resisted the attack of the two lieutenants.

Soon, his opponent became one, because after the commander behind him came up, he couldn't form one person, and once again there was a situation of joint attack.

And at this time, a cavalry battalion of Lehi also arrived. Attacking from the front and back, Li Dian's cavalry of less than 1,000 people was really wiped out this time, and no one survived except Li Dian.

Sun Guan led more than 6,000 cavalry to escort Li Dian towards Li Haibu.

Lehi also captured more than 6,000 enemy soldiers. After all, there are only 4,000 cavalry left, and no matter how small the enemy army is, it is not possible to rectify it with 4,000 people. When Lehi shouted, "Those who surrender will not be killed, but the captives will be treated preferentially," nearly 1,000 people had already fled from the side of the road. In this era, it is a very happy thing to be able to not be a soldier.

In this battle, the soldiers under Guan Yu's command lost more than three battalions, captured 7,000 enemy soldiers, and captured the enemy's main general Li Dian alive; Li Dian had more than 40,000 men under his command, and more than 4,000 cavalry were lost in the previous battle. Now they have fled, they have died, and there are 7,000 captives.

Guan Yu sent someone to take Li Dian to the hall of the Gushi Mansion.

Xu Shu, Zhang Liao, Ji Ling, Sun Guan, Zhan Ying, Du An, Li Hai, Han Liu, Yue Jiang and others sat on both sides, and Guan Yu sat behind the table in the middle of the lobby.

After Li Dian came in, he held his head high, looking quite angry. The sergeant who had escorted him came and broke his knee and made him kneel. He actually knelt down and got up again, quite tough.

Guan Yu looked at him coldly, and said disdainfully: "The general of your defeated army is so rampant!" I don't know that Cao Mengde is in a high position as prime minister today, and he doesn't think about the bitterness and happiness of the people, is it like this? A certain cherishes your talent, but you don't measure yourself! Anyway, someone will escort this guy down, so that he can take care of it, and there must be no mistakes! ”

After escorting Li Dian down, Xu Shu asked, "General, now General Xuande has not captured Pingchun; And General Zhongkang and Kong Ming's military division were blocked by Guo Fengxiao in Ruyin. However, the lord defeated Lu Bu and Sun Ce in Shouchun, and the army was launched in a few days. Now that our army has taken the solid beginning, how should we arrange it next? ”

"Unify the army to the north and take Runan directly!" Guan Yu said.

"There is an enemy general Cao Anmin in Runan to defend it. I am afraid that our army will approach Runan, and Guo Fengxiao will give up Ruyin and return to Runan. Xu Shu said, "Runan is related to the safety of Xuchang, and Guo Fengxiao will not ignore it!" In this way, it can save a lot of pressure on Kong Ming's military division and the lord's side! ”

"Guo Fengxiao is really that powerful? In the past few days, Kong Ming's military division and Zhong Kang have not advanced an inch? Guan Yu asked suspiciously.

"It is rumored in the world that Guo Fengxiao was quite extensive in miscellaneous studies when he was a child, and the I Ching deduction often has the ability to be a prophet! Although Kong Ming's military division can also deduce, he is not so exquisite! Therefore, against it, they don't dare to move troops easily, otherwise they will be defeated in an instant! Xu Shu said very cautiously.

"In that case, we will send troops to Runan tomorrow!" Guan Yu said and came to the sand table in the hall, pointed to the surroundings of Gushi and said, "It's just that our army has sent troops this time, what should we do with the thousands of prisoners in Gushi City?" ”

"Is the general afraid that the captives are mixed with spies? Our army has wolf teeth, so why should we be afraid of the existence of those spies? "Since the Liaodong Campaign, Xu Shu has been quite fond of the construction of the intelligence force of the lord, and he is quite relieved of the wolf's teeth.

"Since the military advisor thinks so, Yu should make a quick decision. General Duane, go and deal with the captives! If it still meets the requirements, it will be taken in, otherwise it will settle here and will not be able to return! ”

Duane took the order. More than 7,000 prisoners, a total of more than 4,000 people surrendered to join the army, and the rest were distributed to the field house and settled down in Gushi City.

Guan Yu replenished the 4,000 troops to each battalion. It was this recruitment of prisoners that led to the relief of Cao Cao's catastrophe in the future. As the saying goes, there is a cause and a result, life and death are reciprocated, and human affection is always connected!

The next day, Guan Yu made Gushi Chengwei Haosheng manage Gushi, and then took Sun Guan as the vanguard, and marched towards Runan with all his army.
