Chapter 918: The Righteousness of the Peach Garden IV
Linhe is a tributary of the Yangtze River, flowing through Bajun and Chengdao, and there is a ferry less than twenty miles in the upstream direction of Sun Ce and Zhang Fei's battlefield.
Evening.
The sunset is like a rainbow.
The rays of the sunset were like fire, enveloping this ferry, and there were more than 300 boats and rafts on the river surface of the ferry, and there were about 300 of them, densely gathered to form a queue.
All the warships in this are the ships that Guan Yu has used all the means to find these days.
These warships were Liu Bei's only way to survive.
The sunset stretched a person's shadow long, this shadow was Guan Yu's, Guan Yu's figure was straight, standing at the front of the ferry, wearing battle armor, holding a green dragon glaive knife in his hand, and his narrow phoenix eyes stared ahead, waiting for the person who should appear.
His 3,000 soldiers are also waiting.
"Father, Bajun City has been broken by the Wu army!" As soon as he rode east, the young general Guan Ping turned over and dismounted, kneeling on one knee in front of Guan Yu to report the way.
"Where's the king?" Guan Yu calmed down and asked.
"Whereabouts unknown!" Guan Ping Road.
"Wait!" Guan Yu spat out a word.
"Father, my scout camp has detected the traces of the Wu army's cavalry, the Wu army's cavalry is waiting for work, the king is afraid that the murder is less auspicious, two legs can't run on four legs, we might as well retreat, in case the Wu army chases and kills, we can't run!" Guan Ping whispered.
"Wait!" Guan Yu still replied with that one word.
Dadada!!
Suddenly there was a burst of sporadic horses' hooves in front of him, Guan Yu's eyes were shocked, and the battle flag of the word 'Shu' he saw hurriedly greeted him, but unfortunately he couldn't meet the figure he was waiting for.
This force is indeed the remnants of the Shu army, the soldiers and horses that broke through from Bajun City. There are about 5,000 of them, but the general who led the troops was not Liu Bei, but Lei Tong.
"Lei Tong, why are you alone, the king?"
Guan Yu's heart was cold, and he lifted the body of the big man Lei Tong directly with one hand. Staring at him with a murderous gaze, he asked.
"Second general, the city of Bajun has been breached, when I broke through with the king, the soldiers were divided into two ways, I lured the enemy with the main force, and was chased and killed by the cavalry of the Wu army, and there were less than five thousand soldiers and horses left, and the king went north, he should have arrived at the ferry earlier than me. It seems that the king should have been caught up by the cavalry of the Wu army! ”
Lei Tong's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice.
"Damn it!"
Guan Yu's fists were clenched, and his joints were a little white, but they were not exposed, and he still kept calm: "Immediately take your soldiers on the ship!" ”
"No!" Lei Tong received the order.
"Guan Ping!"
"In!" Guan Ping stepped forward.
"Disperse all the cavalry scouts of your scout battalion, and find out the news along the road north of Bajun City and the ferry, and be sure to find out the whereabouts of the king!" Guan Yu said in a cold voice.
"No!" Guan Ping nodded. Let a lieutenant general, with hundreds of cavalry, turn over and mount his horse. Quickly look in the direction ahead for information.
Lei Tong began to board the ship with his soldiers, while Guan Yu was still standing at the front, waiting for Liu Bei's return.
The glow of the sunset is beautiful, but it is short-lived.
The sky gradually began to get darker and darker, and Lei Tong's five thousand soldiers and horses had already boarded the ship, and the soldiers of the Shu army docked on the boats at the ferry. His eyes all fell on Guan Yu's back.
The more he waited, the more slim it became, the colder Guan Yu's heart became.
"Father, it is already dark, and the hour of your appointment with the king has passed. There are at most a hundred cavalry around the king, there is no hope of breaking through, and the cavalry of the Wu army is about to catch up, let's go! Guan Ping gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.
"If I can't wait for my brother, I won't leave!"
Guan Yu cut the way categorically.
"Father?"
"I said wait!" Guan Yu drank coldly.
"No!" Guan Ping was helpless.
Da Da Da !!!
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves in front of them sounded again, this time the sound of horses' hooves was loud, overlapping, and there were at least tens of thousands of horses' hooves galloping.
"Caught up, it's Guan Yu!"
This force was Dong Xi's cavalry, a whole division of cavalry.
"Wu Jun is catching up!"
"Damn, it's coming so fast!"
"Sons, fight!"
Guan Yu's eyes were fierce, he turned over and got on his horse, and faced the battle directly, he must not lose the ferry, this is Liu Bei's last way to retreat, he must stick here and wait for Liu Bei's arrival.
"General, what should I do?"
On the warship at the ferry, a captain looked at the commander and asked in a low voice.
"What else can I do, fight!" Lei Tong was helpless, Guan Yu refused to leave, and he could only continue to fight.
"Kill!"
Dong Xi led the cavalry and charged at Guan Yu's camp at the first time.
The battle broke out above the ferry.
And the scouts scattered by Guan Ping also came back a lot, and said in a report: "Second general, the king has escaped Lu Bu's pursuit, and he can reach the ferry in half an hour!" ”
"Okay, how can my brother be stopped by them so easily, sons, hold on for half an hour!" Guan Yu looked excited.
Guan Yu can form an army alone, invincible, with 3,000 remnants of the army under his command and 5,000 remnants of the army, and actually blocked Dong Raid's cavalry charge, and also retreated Dong Raid thousands of meters away, maintaining the right to occupy the ferry.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the battlefield at the ferry was as bright as fire.
"Second General, the king is back!" Amid the sound of horses' hooves, the scout shouted.
The first thing that appeared in Guan Yu's eyes was Liu Bei's remnants, thousands of remnants seemed to be sheep in the midst of being driven and killed, and behind them were the cavalry of the Wu army.
"Brother!"
Guan Yu glanced at it from afar, even in the night, he saw Liu Bei's figure, his eyes lit up, and he called out.
"Cloud Chief!"
Liu Bei also looked at Guan Yu in front of him, his face was overjoyed, but he still couldn't escape to the ferry, and he was stopped by Lu Bu with his soldiers and horses at a distance of less than five hundred meters from the ferry.
"Liu Xuande, Your Majesty wants your life, you can't escape even if you put on your wings!" Lu Bu's cavalry surrounded and killed from behind, passed Liu Bei's soldiers and horses in one breath, blocked their way, and said coldly.
"Lu Fengxian. You did it on purpose! ”
Liu Bei was riding on horseback, his double-strand sword pointed at Lu Bu, his face was ugly, and at this moment he understood why he had fled here so smoothly in the face of tens of thousands of remnants of his thousands of cavalry.
"Hehe, you're not stupid. Liu Xuande, I just want to know if Guan Yu will turn around and come back for you! ”
Lu Bu said playfully.
The cavalry of the Wu army had already prepared, so as soon as Liu Bei broke through, he had already caught up, and Liu Bei was able to escape here, it was he who did it deliberately, and he needed to fish Guan Yu back.
They had also forgotten the road to the river in their previous plans, so they didn't have the slightest preparation, once Guan Yu got on the boat. Wu Jun's navy is in the White Emperor City, and his horse's hooves can't catch up even if he is fast.
"Brother, I'll save you!"
Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei's soldiers and horses being blocked by Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, his expression was furious, he was mighty, he was invincible with a knife and a horse, and he killed in the direction of Liu Bei.
"Father. No, that's a trap! Guan Ping drank. wants to hold his father Guan Yu.
"Second General, if you kill it, the ferry will be lost, and we will all die here!" Lei Tong also hurriedly shouted.
On this chaotic battlefield, the main force of the Wu army also arrived quietly.
Under a golden dragon battle flag, Sun Quan rode on the back of a lion dragon's horse. Looking condescendingly at the battlefield in the dark night, looking at the warships docked at the ferry.
"Yi Bo Yuntian Guan Yunchang, you still haven't left, since that's the case, let's stay together!"
Before that. If Guan Yu wanted to leave, he couldn't stop it, after all, it was their negligence, but for Liu Bei, Guan Yu stayed, and when the main force of the Wu army had been surrounded and killed, they had no way to live.
"Thunder Copper!"
Guan Yu grabbed the reins of the horse, raised his head, looked at Liu Bei in the siege of Lu Bu, and looked at the Wu army who was constantly pressed up, and felt a little sad in his heart.
If he wants to go, he can still go, after all, he is at the ferry, but he can't let go of Liu Bei, he can't let go of the righteous word, this is his life!
"Second General!"
Lei Tong slashed a Wu cavalryman with a knife and responded to him.
"You go, take your son-in-law, board the ship and leave, you can go anywhere, you don't have to accompany our brother here to fight to the death!"
"Second general, the king can't escape anymore!" Lei Tong's eyes were a little moist: "Let's go together, as long as we return to Chengdu, we still have hope!" ”
"I'm not leaving!"
Guan Yu smiled, looked at his son Guan Ping, had a trace of love, and said softly: "Guan Ping, you can go too!" ”
"Father, you come with us!" Guan Ping looked sad and angry, and said loudly.
"Father is different from you!"
Guan Yu slowly raised the long knife in his hand: "Taoyuan Yiyi, the same life, I don't want to be born on the same day and month in the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month in the same year, where my brother is, where my Guan Yu is!" ”
After speaking, he was alone, with a war horse and a Daguan knife, and ran in the direction of Liu Bei without hesitation.
"General!" A lieutenant looked at Lei Tong.
"Let's go!"
Lei Tong gritted his teeth and was ruthless, he could follow Liu Bei to fight to the death, but he would not be buried in this hopeless situation.
"Major General!" The soldiers under Guan Yu's command looked at Guan Ping.
"Let's go too!" Guan Ping looked at the soldiers under his command, looked at his father's melancholy figure, and retreated to the ferry with the soldiers.
The two relied on Guan Yu's charge to attract Dong Zheng's troops, and with thousands of remnants, under the pursuit of the scattered Wu army, they fled to the warship in a hurry, and then marched in the direction of Chengdu.
"Your Majesty!"
Xu Shu pointed to the departing warship: "Our navy is not here, it is difficult to intercept!" ”
"Let them go, what we want to stay has been left, little shrimp and little fish, sooner or later they will surrender under my battle flag!" Sun Quan didn't care, and looked at Guan Yu.
This is his father-killing enemy, he must kill, but it does not prevent him from appreciating Guan Yu, husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, flying separately when disaster comes, but he can for Liu Bei, knowing that he will die, he still stays, not to mention his position, just this righteousness, this brotherhood, Sun Quan admires.
"Brother, I'm here!" Guan Yu was invincible with one person and one sword, and he brazenly entered Lu Bu's battle circle.
"Guan Yunchang, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Lu Bu raised his halberd and said lightly.
"Yun Chang, why are you doing this?"
Liu Bei's eyes were slightly moist, watching the righteous brothers come back without hesitation, he felt a sense of excitement in his heart, if his first brother could accompany him to die, why should he care about life and death.
"Brother, Taoyuan is righteous, you and I live and die the same!" Guan Yu replied proudly: "Guan Yu is here, if anyone wants to kill his brother, he must step on Guan Yu's corpse!" ”
"Wai!"
The corners of Sun Quan's mouth in the distance raised slightly, and with a long shout, the strength of the Wu army moved, and the arrays in all directions surrounded the few thousand remnants of Liu Bei Guan Yu in the middle.
The night is cold, and the killing intent is soaring! (To be continued.) )
