Seeing that the front of the Hebei Army with lanterns and torches passed, Guan Yu quietly gave an order to let the three thousand heavy swordsmen under his command go forward first.

Because their eyesight was too poor at night, these Hebei soldiers and horses were all engrossed in watching the fire of the front army, for fear of losing them.

As a result, the attention is too focused to notice the anomalies in the dark.

The three thousand heavy swordsmen of the Huwei Army touched until the Hebei Army approached, and they were not found at all. Suddenly attacked, three thousand heavy knives slashed open, and a large piece of machete was cut in an instant.

The Hebei soldiers and horses suddenly screamed, only to find out that the situation was wrong, and they immediately blew up.

This is the reason why there are very few night battles in the era of cold weapons, and people are the most fearful when they know that there is danger but cannot predict it.

If you encounter an enemy attack in the dark of night, unless it is a fairly well-trained unit, the whole army will definitely scream in an instant.

Once this kind of scene happens, it is uncontrollable, and people's desire to survive will be stronger than everything.

Therefore, as soon as the Huwei army attacked, the entire rear army of Hebei soldiers and horses in the darkness instantly exploded. The wails and cries shook the wilderness.

All the Hebei soldiers and horses began to scurry, this escape had no direction and no purpose, just like a swarm of headless flies, running wildly in all directions.

In the absence of vision, mutual urging and collision, once you fall, it is almost impossible to stand up again, and you will be trampled to death in an instant.

Chun Yuqiong and Jiang Yiqu heard the chaos behind the front army, knew that things had changed, hurriedly turned their horses' heads, and led the front army with lighting tools to rush back.

But in the darkness of the night, in the light of the fire, it was like a target. Guan Yu rode alone and hid in the night, and saw the Hebei soldiers and horses from a distance turning back, and the first two main generals were panicked like frightened birds.

With a sneer in his heart, he saw the opportunity, slapped his crotch and dismounted, and flew out until Chun Yuqiong was in front of him. With a loud shout, the Qinglong knife slashed horizontally, and with only one knife, Chun Yuqiong was waved into two sections.

Jiang Yiqu was so shocked that he couldn't take care of anything, and desperately urged his horse to run forward. But how did he know that at this time, the rear team of the Hebei Army had already died and fled, and there was no one left.

Surrounding there were none other than the three thousand heavy swordsmen of the Huwei Army. Jiang Yiqu panicked and crashed straight into the Huwei army formation.

The three thousand heavy swordsmen were originally ordered by General Guan Yu to line up on the spot after killing the rear army, and then intercept and kill the front of the Hebei army. But he didn't expect that the enemy commander would rush in alone first, how could he let go of such a good opportunity.

More than a dozen heavy knives pointed at Jiang Yiqu at the same time, and the war horse was cut to the ground at once, followed by a burst of chaotic knives, Jiang Yiqu didn't come back to his senses, and was directly cut into pieces.

Guan Yu was very happy to see that the two enemy generals were all killed, and with a shout, three thousand heavy swordsmen rushed up, rushing into the front army of Hebei, and three thousand heavy swords were cut apart, and the Hebei soldiers and horses who were killed were dying, scattering and fleeing.

In the middle of the night, Guan Yu did not chase after him, and ordered to clean up the battlefield and collect troops to return to the city.

Yuan Shao was in the Juxian army, sleepless all night, waiting left and right, there was no news at all, and he was very uneasy.

Most of these Hebei soldiers and horses who fled in the middle of the night didn't know where they had gone. It was not until after noon the next day that a small number of defeated soldiers found their original way, returned to Ju County, and reported to Yuan Shao.

When Yuan Shao heard the news, he was shocked, and his heart began to feel uneasy.

It's no wonder that he was originally full of confidence and brought an army of 500,000 to fight Gao Yun. But now, even Gao Yun's face has not been seen. It's just entangled with the soldiers and horses ordered by Guan Yu, and after several battles, they have been defeated in successive battles, and the losses of Hebei soldiers and horses have reached nearly 100,000.

Not only Yuan Shao was beating the drum in his heart, but the other Wenchen generals were also panicking. No one expected Guan Yu to recapture Jinan in one battle, and also killed Chun Yuqiong and Jiang Yiqu.

There was an uproar in the whole tent, and after discussing for a long time, it was finally decided that Jinan must be captured and Guan Yu's army destroyed.

Yuan Shao also understood at this time that the combat effectiveness of the Huwei Army was definitely not in vain. You must not use the number of your own soldiers and horses to measure the probability of victory or defeat in a battle with the Huwei army.

Yuan Shao also knew that with the miscellaneous forces of Yuan Shu, Yan Yu, and Wang Lang, Gao Yun would not be able to delay Gao Yun for long. Therefore, if you can't make a quick decision, you can defeat Guan Yu's army and occupy an important stronghold in Qingzhou. Then once Gao Yun leads the army to come, the battle situation will be quite unfavorable to him.

Yuan Shao knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he made a decision at the moment, and the large army advanced and attacked Jinan.

Although Guan Yu won a big victory and beheaded Chun Yuqiong and Jiang Yiqu, two generals, after returning to Jinan, he had a dignified face.

Zhou Tai and Zhang Yu didn't know what was going on, and they felt that they should be happy to win one after another. Seeing Guan Yu's serious face, Zhou Tai asked: "Overseer, our army has won great victories one after another, killing Yuan Shao's five-way soldiers and horses, and the prestige is great. Why was the Overseer depressed, but what was on his mind? ”

Guan Yu sighed and said slowly: "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other." Prior to this, Yuan Shao had never fought against our army, and he didn't know how brave the Huwei army was. Therefore, small groups of soldiers and horses were repeatedly sent to deal with our army, but they were all hit by one of them. This is all a plan to delay the army.

And now, Yuan Shao has been defeated in many battles, and his soldiers and horses have suffered a lot of losses. will wake up and send a large army to attack Jinan. Now that Linzi has been lost, if Yuan Shao occupies Jinan again, then Qingzhou is not owned by the Huwei army. At that time, Hebei's soldiers and horses will come to the aid of the north and south, and they can attack and retreat enough to defend. Even if my eldest brother led the troops, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult to break.

Therefore, this city must not be lost, and in any case, it must be held until the arrival of the eldest brother's soldiers. Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses are stationed on the bank of the river, which is only a hundred miles away. As expected, if it is not tomorrow, it will come the day after tomorrow. At that time, it will be a bloody battle, and the tiger roars to order the soldiers and generals, and I don't know how many generals will die in this city......"

Zhou Tai and Zhang Yu suddenly realized this, and urgently asked Guan Yu how to arrange it. Guan Yu said again: "Until now, there is nothing to be done. Fortunately, in the city of Jinan, we have been diligent in the fortifications for many years, and the things that are guarded are all complete. Even if Yuan Shao's army besieges the city, if you want to get this city, unless you have a certain master's head first! ”

As soon as Guan Yu's words fell, there was a sound under the tent, and Zhou Cang strode up to the hall. Seeing Guan Yu, he knelt down on one knee, "Overseer, what Fang Cai said, his subordinates really listened." The enemy is current, Zhou Cang, please lead the troops to defend the city! ”

Guan Yu saw that Zhou Cang was still wrapped in strips of cloth, and knew that in such a short time, it was impossible for the injury to heal. Immediately shouted: "Zhou Cang! You don't have a good life in the back camp, what are you doing here!? ”

Zhou Cang raised his head and looked at Guan Yu, his eyes welling up with tears, "Overseer!" Zhou Cang has followed the Overseers since Mo climbed the mountain. Domeng's teachings made Zhou Cang know the righteousness. Now the great enemy is coming, and Jinan is in danger. The Overseer just said that if Yuan Shao wants to break Jinan, he must first harm the Overseer. And in Zhou Cang's heart, no matter who wants to hurt the overseer in the slightest, he must first take Zhou Cang's head! I hope that the overseer army will be completed, and Xu Zhoucang will lead the troops to defend the city! ”
