007 Guan Yunchang outwitted Wancheng

Zhao Yun was shocked when he saw this, and was about to retreat, when he suddenly heard a burst of cannons behind him, but saw that Guan Yu's troops led Zhao Lei and Huo Yi to intercept the way, and surrounded Zhao Yun and eight hundred cavalry!

Guan Yu raised his voice and shouted: "Why didn't Zilong descend early? ”

Zhao Yun said angrily: "Everyone will fight to the death with me!" "Eight hundred light horsemen responded in unison, and followed Zhao Yun's roar into the Jingzhou military array!

Zhao Yun's spear was like lightning, and the Jingzhou soldiers everywhere they passed fell to the ground with their throats in their hands, and the eight hundred light cavalry under his command were all elite, and there were cavalry restraints on the infantry, so I saw this group of cavalry rushing left and right among the ten thousand troops, and they were invincible for a while!

In the midst of the chaos, Zhao Yun saw that an enemy general commanded soldiers to surround the Jin army, it was Huo Yi, the general of Jingzhou, Zhao Yun rushed into the enemy formation, and stabbed Huo Yi and Ma Xia with a shot!

However, since Guan Yu chose to ambush Zhao Yun here, he naturally has his reasons, the mountains here are steep and the roads are narrow, which greatly limits the impact of the cavalry, and tens of thousands of Jingzhou soldiers have made three layers inside and three layers outside these four layers, which is really like an iron bucket.

If Zhao Yun wants to break through alone, it will not be difficult, but he can't give up his brothers after all. Although Zhao Yun was uncontrollable, he couldn't stop tens of thousands of Jingzhou soldiers from shrinking the siege step by step, and the mountain was shot down intensively by a rain of arrows, and the light cavalry of the Jin army fell off their horses one after another. Zhao Yun was covered in blood, and he was concerned about the light cavalry under his command, and it was difficult to fight out of the siege for a while.

At the critical moment, he suddenly heard a shout of killing behind the formation, but it was Xu Shang who led a large team of men and horses to arrive in time, fought a bloody way, and rescued Zhao Yun and more than 300 horsemen.

The two armies met, and in the chaos of the army, Xu Shang saw Zhao Yun, and Xu Shang asked, "Governor!" There are many soldiers in Jingzhou, where should our army go now? ”

Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said, "Go to Luyang!" ”

Xu Shang was surprised: "Lu Yang? I heard the sergeant say that Luyang has been broken by Guan Yu, why does the governor want to go again? ”

Zhao Yun said: "Guan Yu sent heavy troops to set up an ambush here, it must be calculated that I will save Lu Yang, at this time, Lu Yang is most likely not lost, but it is Guan Yu who deceives and hits the morale of our army!" ”

Although Zhao Yun said resolutely, he was still a little worried, Lu Yang was too important! It can't be lost no matter what, and he must be in charge himself to rest assured.

Zhao Yun gave an order, and the Sizhou army continued to break through in the direction of Luyang, and suddenly there were more than 10,000 fresh troops, and the Jingzhou soldiers could no longer resist letting the Jin soldiers break through, but Guan Yu did not relax, and commanded the army to cover and pursue all the way. Zhao Yun was worried that Lu Yang would lose and did not dare to fight, so he drove his troops for dozens of miles before he got rid of the pursuit of the Jingzhou army.

When I arrived in Luyang, I found that Luyang was not taken away by Guan Yu, and the general Lu Jianbao said that the day before yesterday was just a bluffing suspicious army, and when I arrived at Luyang City, I made a big show and played the banner of Guan Yu, and the camp was enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people to rest! Lu Jian was a little stunned when he came up, and later sent spies to investigate, only to find out that the camp was only a few thousand people.

Seeing that Lu Yang was not lost, Zhao Yun was a little relieved, but it was not in vain to say that Guan Yu's suspicious army had set up such a large camp, and it was estimated that in less than a day, Guan Yu's army would really come here!

Therefore, he did not dare to slack off at the moment, seized the time to arrange the city defense, and included the more than 10,000 people he brought into the defense system of Luyang City, waiting for the arrival of the Jingzhou army.

Such a passive defense makes Zhao Yun, who has always liked to take the initiative to attack, a little depressed, if the strength is equal, he is more inclined to fight a decisive battle with the enemy in the field, after all, the field ability of the Jin army is famous! Even if he gave Guan Yu half of the number of troops under his command, he would dare to compete with Guan Yu on the frontal battlefield. But the reality is that his forces are stretched thin, and he can only passively defend important places.

Just like now, he still has a total of less than 50,000 mobilized war auxiliaries in his hands, including Lu Xiang's 5,000 soldiers in Wancheng, Zhang Xiu's 5,000 soldiers in Jiangxia County, and the rest are kept by Zhao Yun to garrison Luoyang, or scattered all over the place. Luyang now has a main force of 15,000, but he can defend more than the city, but he can't fight a decisive battle with Jingzhou soldiers three times his own in the field. After all, Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu are also very good at governing the army, and although the Jingzhou soldiers are generally weaker than the Jin army, they are also regular troops, not muddy.

Zhao Yun did not know at this time that the envoys sent by the lord from Hanzhong had already arrived in Luoyang through Hanguguan, and the order on the division of the war zone had been drafted into an edict and promulgated in various places, and it was believed that at the latest, Yanzhou or Bingzhou would send tens of thousands of reinforcements.

But now, he can only face the current passive situation depressed. Moreover, obviously Guan Yu will not miss this favorable situation in vain, he wants to take advantage of Zhao Yun's lack of soldiers to continue to expand the victory!

Guan Yu won this battle halfway, beheaded more than 1,000 ranks, captured more than 3,000 Jin soldiers, and captured a large number of supplies and military supplies. However, he did not continue to march towards Luyang, but after cleaning up the battlefield, he ordered to turn around and march towards Wancheng!

On the way, Guan Yu compassionate the captured Jin soldiers and gave them warm words and comfort. Although there has always been a desire to stabilize the army in the Jin army, there have been very few soldiers since the establishment of the Xuanwu Assistants for more than ten years. But as the saying goes, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and when you come out to be a soldier, it is inevitable that there will be people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. In addition, Second Brother Guan was already very charismatic, and after some persuasion by him, he even said that more than 500 people had been dropped. This result couldn't help but make Guan Yu worry and happy.

The worry is that Guan Yu has been riding horses for more than 20 years, and he has never seen such a cohesive army! He threatened and lured him in every possible way, and he even recruited so many hundreds of people, and changed places, if the captured ones were replaced by Jingzhou soldiers under his command, I am afraid that most of them have already surrendered to the enemy at this time!

Than what? What do you compare with Zhang Liao? In terms of food, the Jin army is full of three meals a day, and from time to time it can be stained with a little meat, while the Jingzhou soldiers still maintain the practice of two meals a day, and the quality is incomparable. Compared with equipment, the weapons and equipment of the Jin army are the most sophisticated, and the iron armor worn by ordinary pawns can only be equipped at the level of Dubo (squad leader of fifty people) on the side of Jingzhou soldiers, compared to the treatment? Every soldier has dozens of acres of land allocated by the government, and the taxes paid are very thin! The reason why these hundreds of people surrendered was just because they were afraid of death......

What is the Gap? That's the gap! Guan Yu used to think that Zhang Liao's great power was only superficial and temporary. It's just that the army is strong and the talent is gathered. But now it seems that it is far more than that, and even the ideological work of the soldiers is far away from Liu Bei's eight streets, which makes Guan Yu's expectations for the future dim a little......

However, although he was worried, he couldn't shake Guan Yu's loyalty to his brother, and when he pressed his worries, Guan Yu carefully ordered these five hundred soldiers to do some things, which were all things to pay attention to in the next attack on Wancheng! This is the part of Guan Yu's "joy......

In order to prevent being discovered by Zhao Yun or leaking news in the middle, Guan Yu turned back to Wancheng at night and ambushed twenty miles away from the city. On the third watch of this night, Guan Yu ordered Liao Hua to lead 3,000 troops as the forerunner, changed the banner of the Jin army, and opened the city gate to Wancheng, and the 500 soldiers were in it. Then Guan Yu personally led the Chinese army to kill Wancheng and left.

Liao Hua led the troops to the city, from the five hundred soldiers selected shrewd and eloquent people to come forward to call the door, Jingzhou soldiers mixed in, only to say that Lu Yang has been obtained by Guan Yu, these are the defeated soldiers who fled back, the captain of the city guard in the light saw that the soldiers under the city were wearing Jin army armor, and there were night soldiers called out of the names of several soldiers under the city, and there was no doubt that there was a fraud to open the city gate.

Liao Hua bowed his head and entered the city with the sergeant, stayed across the drawbridge and came to the city gate, everyone shouted, killed and dispersed the Jin soldiers, and set fire in the city gate, Guan Yu saw the fire in the city, and immediately commanded the army to kill from the shadows, and the Jingzhou soldiers swarmed into and captured Wancheng. Lv Xiang heard the sound of shouting and killing in his sleep, hurriedly left the house, saw that the general trend had gone, led more than 100 horsemen to kill out of Wancheng, and ran to Luyang, but met Guan Ping halfway through, Lv Xiang struggled to kill and wanted to take the road and walk, did not want to fight but Sanhe, was sold by Guan Ping a flaw, captured alive, and more than 100 relatives under his command desperately tried to save him, and in the end none of them survived......
