953 Xiangyang Medium Arrow
Now Wang Baoyu's father Wang Lian has been found, and he is in Chengdu, and he can take it over at any time, but his mother, Princess Wannian, is in Wollongong, and Guan Yu most likely wants to defeat Xiahoudun and take Princess Wannian out.
Alas, this good second brother is too real, Wang Baoyu doesn't know how to persuade Guan Yu.
Subsequently, Mo Qianxun rushed over and asked: "Baoyu, the Yiling was trapped before, and General Guan generously helped to deter the Wuxi army from retreating. Now should we also send troops to help? β
Wang Baoyu thought about it, sighed slightly, waved his hand and said: "First of all, Yiling soldiers and horses are only a few thousand, and helping each other will not only not play a big role, but will also give Yiling an opportunity to take advantage of." Let's defend Yiling here, in fact, it is equivalent to stabilizing the rear of the second brother. β
Mo Qianxun nodded and added: "Yes, helping Guan Yu so much, but instead having a grudge with Cao Cao, the gains outweigh the losses." β
Well, Wang Baoyu said again: "Wait and see." However, our Yiling can prepare some emergency supplies to support the army, as long as the second brother needs it, it will be satisfied. β
Throughout Jingzhou, Xiangyang City is undoubtedly the most difficult city to attack, the city wall is high, the moat is deep, the city defender general Xiahoudun is a first-class general who can rank in the top ten in terms of force value, it can be said that if you want to break through Xiangyang, it is not easier than breaking through Yiling.
Hearing that Guan Yu was coming with an army, Xiahoudun immediately closed the city gate, hung the battle card, and didn't want to do anything with Guan Yu at all, at the same time, he sent Niu Jin to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses out of the city, echoing the army in the city.
Guan Yu garrisoned Xiangyang City ten miles away, and led people to scold every day, but Xiahoudun just ignored it, and was repelled by the powerful Cao army several times, but lost more than 10,000 people.
Xiahoudun was triumphant in the city, but instead let the soldiers shout and curse on the city wall, in a vain attempt to provoke Guan Yu and make him continue to attack. If it goes down at the current speed, in less than a month, Guan Yu will be able to toss the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers under him by himself.
Although Guan Yu was angry, he did not lose his mind for this matter, and this night, he quietly ordered the camp to be raised, and took the deputy generals Zhou Cang and Liao Hua to go straight to Wollongong.
Of course, this news did not hide from Xiahoudun, but Xiahoudun was very puzzled, which one did Guan Yu sing, and he took a detour, and it was Wollongong in front of him, and there was not much value there?
From the perspective of war, Guan Yu's move is indeed incredible, but from the perspective of the identity of a brother, his purpose in doing this is to spread his wings and protect his sister Dacheng DΓΉ.
There was no obstacle along the way, Guan Yu was secretly happy, as long as he could pick up Princess Wannian from Wollongong, he could temporarily give up attacking Xiangyang City.
Just as the army passed through Yingkong Valley, suddenly, the drums on the cliffs on both sides rumbled, and countless fire balls rolled down from the bottom of the mountain.
Guan Yu's army was suddenly intercepted, and at the same time, tens of thousands of Cao troops rushed down from the mountain frantically, shouting and killing to the sky.
Guan Yu had an absolute advantage in terms of troops, but he was not afraid, he calmly ordered the soldiers to line up to block, and at the same time raised the Qinglong Glaive Sword, and rushed towards the general who was as big as an ox at the head.
This person is Niu Jin, he also waved the steel fork with his teeth and claws to meet him, the steel fork looked at Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue knife with a bang, sparks were everywhere, Guan Yu did not move, and Niu Jin's steel fork actually came out of his hand.
Guan Yu laughed, and righteously asked Niu Jin to pick up the weapon and fight again. Niu Jin was annoyed and ashamed, leaned over to pick up the steel fork, and rushed over with a loud roar, however, after fighting with Guan Yu for less than three rounds, he couldn't resist at all, and rode his horse to escape.
Guan Yu chased closely, bypassing a mountain col, and hundreds of archers of the Cao army suddenly appeared in front, and Niu Jin was waiting in front, it seemed that he had just fled in the wilderness to lure the enemy into a deep plan. I saw Niu Jin's big hand wave, and the overwhelming arrows immediately shot over.
Guan Yu snorted coldly, and the Qinglong Glaive turned into a shield, knocking down all the attacking arrows, and at the same time, continued to rush forward bravely.
Niu Jin stopped his horse, suddenly took off the bow and arrow on his back, and shot three arrows in a row at Guan Yu, his arrow was very special, black, and the size was relatively small, and the sound of cutting through the air was inaudible.
Guan Yu felt the breath of danger, and the big sword skirt was cowardly and lucky
A chill hit, Guan Yu suddenly felt that his arm was numb, and he could barely lift the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, he hurriedly turned his horse and retreated, and when he saw that the main general was injured, the army had no intention of fighting again, and hurriedly withdrew from Yingkong Valley.
Niu Jin and the others did not chase, Guan Yu finally came to safety, the military doctor hurriedly came to take down the small arrow, but found that the middle arrow was black and purple, and the entire right arm was already red, and there was a tendency to spread, obviously the arrow was poisonous.
"General Guan, my subordinates don't know the source of the poison, please quickly find a famous doctor for diagnosis and treatment!" The military doctor said in a panic.
Guan Yu's face turned even redder with anger, he had been fighting for many years, but he didn't expect to be injured by a nobody, and scolded angrily: "Niu Jin, when I catch you, I will definitely skin you!" β
The strategist who accompanied the army, Yi Yuan, hurriedly stepped forward and said: "General, I heard that there seems to be a famous doctor in Yiling, please go to Yiling quickly." β
"The husband is not afraid of life and death!"
"General, don't be vindictive, take care of your body first, it's not too late to fight Xiangyang again in the coming day. If the time for healing is delayed, the consequences are unimaginable! Yi hurriedly persuaded.
Guan Yu finally nodded, and ordered to collect the troops back to Nanjun, and he led a group of men and horses to change the route to Yiling, and strive to heal his arm first.
Hearing that Second Brother Guan was coming, Wang Baoyu hurriedly went out of the city to greet him, and saw that Guan Yu's arm was tied with a cloth, and his face was also black and blue, and he couldn't help but want to cry in distress.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Wang Baoyu asked.
"It's okay, it's just a poisoned arrow." Guan Yu waved his hand.
"Come with me into town! It just so happens that the divine doctor Hua Tuo is here. Wang Baoyu couldn't hide it, and hurriedly said.
As soon as he heard Hua Tuo's name, Yi Yuan couldn't help but be stunned, in his impression, Hua Tuo had died a long time ago, why didn't he expect to be here? However, with Hua Tuo here, I believe that General Guan will be able to ensure that he is safe.
Bringing Guan Yu to Ba Gongfu, Wang Baoyu hurriedly sent someone to invite Hua Tuo, the old man gave Wang Baoyu a lot of face, and hurried over.
Guan Yu and Yi Qi bowed their hands to Hua Tuo, Hua Tuo didn't care about these at all, and took a few steps forward to check Guan Yu's injury, after the cloth was untied, he saw that Guan Yu's entire shoulder was almost black.
Hua Tuo hurriedly dipped the poisonous blood from the wound with a silver needle, and looked at it carefully for a while, Wang Baoyu couldn't wait, and asked anxiously: "Hua Lao, what kind of poison is this?" β
"This is the poison of aconitum grass, fortunately, General Guan's body is super strong, and if he is a bystander, he will not survive for three days." Hua Tuo sighed.
"Old man, how many days can Guan live?" Guan Yu asked calmly.
