Chapter 411: Guan Yu was injured
Guan Yu obtained the enemy's position of crossing the river from the enemy's mouth, not far from his defense area, and after leading hundreds of cavalry to run for more than ten minutes, Guan Yu went to a large forest, the north of the forest is a lofty mountain, and the Weishui River flows through this forest from west to east.

"Uncle, is this the place?"
Guan Yu called the old man, they met the common people on the road, and those ordinary people also wanted to report the news of the thieves smuggling across the river to the Dingping Army, and they happened to be bumped into by Guan Yu on the road.
"Yes, this is it!" The old man nodded: "Just now my son and I saw the thief army crossing the river in this forest!" ”
"General, what do we do now?"
A company commander asked Guan Yu.
Glancing at Lin Hai, who had no end in sight, and then looking up at the bright sun hanging high in the sky, Guan Yu said categorically: "You lead a thousand cavalry to immediately set fire along the edge of the forest!" ”
"Whoosh~"
As soon as Guan Yu's words fell, a sharp sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded, fortunately, Guan Yu was not slow to react and made a dodge action in time, but even so, the arrow still flew past his cheek, marking a bloody mark on his cheek.
Guan Yu dodged, but the enemy had more than one cold arrow, and under surprise, more than a dozen soldiers who followed Guan Yu were shot off their horses.
"Kill!"
After the cold arrow was released, the forest immediately shouted and killed, and more than a thousand Yellow Turban cavalry surged out of the woods.
Seeing the enemy killed, Guan Yu shouted coldly and angrily: "Fight!" ”
After shouting, Guan Yu found that the people who led the way were still staying beside him, and shouted urgently: "Get out of here immediately!" ”
After the words fell, he didn't pay attention to the people, and urged the horse to lead more than 100 cavalry under his command to meet them, and the people glanced at Guan Yu's back, showing hesitation, and finally he rode his horse and galloped towards the north.
The five hundred cavalry of the Dingping Army rushed towards the enemy troops pouring out of the woods, and at this moment, a rapid roar sounded in the woods, and then nearly a thousand Yellow Turban soldiers poured out of the woods.
The iron hooves of both sides trampled through the earth, the thunderous roar shook the earth, and the cavalry shouted, and the murderous spirit rushed straight to Xiao Han.
In the blink of an eye, the cavalry of the two sides engaged, just like two opposing torrents suddenly met, the cavalry of both sides staggered rapidly, each brandishing a war knife and slashing the enemy soldiers in close quarters, the war knife reflected a dazzling sword light in the scorching sun, blood flowers continued to bloom in this sword light, the screams and screams were deafening and heartbreaking, and soldiers continued to fall from their horses.
The cavalry of the two sides separated from each other after a scuffle, and each changed a position, and now the Dingping army is in a position close to the woods, and tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army foot soldiers who poured out of the woods are screaming and rushing towards the cavalry of the Dingping Army, seeing such a scene, the cavalry who followed Guan Yu showed a panicked look on their faces.
"Don't be afraid! Our army will be there then! Now, come with me! ”
Guan Yu shouted, urging the war horse to take the lead, Guan Yu knew that he couldn't stop at this moment, he was not followed by his own headquarters, but the soldiers of the fourth and fifth battalions, most of these soldiers were recruited from Dingxiang and Daijun later, not the veterans who originally followed Zhang Yi from Hedong, let alone the elite like the storm, he didn't know much about these people, if he delayed, Guan Yu was afraid that their psychological defense line would collapse first.
At this time, most of the soldiers under Zhang Yi's command were disrupted because of the casualties, and the only ones who acted in accordance with the unified system were the Golden Daowei and the Hundred Beast Battalion and the Iron Floating Tu that had just arrived.
The cavalry on both sides rushed forward again, and with a chaotic and rapid battle, they once again separated and regrouped, and at this time, the cavalry behind Guan Yu was panting, and there was obvious nervousness in their expressions.
In the open space between the cavalry of the two sides, more than 300 corpses lay on the ground, of which the Yellow Turbans accounted for the majority.
"Charge!"
Guan Yu raised his horizontal sword and shouted, the cavalry shouted violently, and the war horses neighed and burst out......
"General, it's not good, the Dingping Army has appeared outside the woods!"
The scout hurried to Li Damu's side to report.
Li Damu, who was looking at the map, was taken aback and asked urgently, "How many people are there?" ”
"Only a few hundred rides!"
Li Damu thought for a moment, and immediately ordered: "Order Li Yuan to lead five thousand forwards to immediately destroy this Dingping army!" ”
"Yes!"
The scout agreed, stepped on his horse and hurried away.
Li Damu ordered the generals around him again: "Command the brigade, give up the trimming, and immediately move to Gaoyang!" ”
"No!"
The wishful thinking of the Yellow Turban Army was to occupy Gaoyang, a key point of transportation, with heavy troops, in order to cut off the connection between the base camp of the Pingling and Dingping Army, and if the Yellow Turban Army's plan to do this war was successful, the situation of the army led by Zhang Yi would be quite critical.
The light cavalry led by Guan Yu was entangled by the Yellow Turban Army, and Li Damu's deputy general Li Yuan led 5,000 forwards to surround him, and Guan Yu and the light cavalry led by him fell into a heavy encirclement.
At this moment, these light cavalry of the fourth and fifth battalions were already at a loss, and if it weren't for the chaos of the situation at the scene, these light cavalry would have fled in all directions.
In the chaotic battle, Guan Yu's left shoulder was cut off after a lot of knives, and even his left shoulder was cut off a piece of meat, everyone immediately escorted him to the west to kill, and he was forced to kill a bloody road, dozens of horsemen broke out of the encirclement and rushed north, at this moment, the hundreds of light cavalry led by Guan Yu have basically been wiped out.
"General, we have captured dozens of prisoners of the Dingping Army!"
A lieutenant rushed to Li Damu to report, no wonder he was so excited, since the confrontation with the Dingping Army, the Yellow Turban Army has been pressed and beaten, and there is no chance of catching the prisoners of the Dingping Army.
Li Damu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Bring it up, I will interrogate it personally!" ”
The lieutenant answered the promise and ran down in high spirits.
A moment later, Li Damu, who had already learned the specific situation of the Dingping Army from the mouths of those few soft bones, immediately ordered: "Li Yuan led five thousand pioneers to stay here to confuse the enemy army!" After the main force rests, follow me straight into Gaoyang! ”
The few dozen remaining soldiers escorted the wounded Guan Yu and hurried north, and soon ran into Qin Qiu, who had arrived with three thousand light horsemen.
"General Guan is injured? Quick, Medic! ”
Qin Qiu, who had just arrived, saw that Guan Yu was injured, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and called for doctors to treat Guan Yu's injuries.
After hearing Qin Qiu's order, the two doctors immediately put down the blades in their hands, hurried to Guan Yu's side, and began to medicate Guan Yu.
Seeing that the red and fierce knife wound medicine fell on Guan Yu's shoulder, Guan Yu's face did not change, and he didn't say a word, everyone secretly gave Guan Yu a thumbs up, it turned out that the knife wound medicine used by the Dingping military was prepared by Zhang Chong and Hua Tuo, the effect was very good, but the irritation was great, ordinary people couldn't help but moan in pain when they took the medicine, even if they couldn't bear it, their faces would become pale, but Guan Yu seemed to be fine, how could everyone not sigh, but they didn't know, the red-faced man in front of them, That's the existence that can scrape bones and heal poison.
"It doesn't matter if my injuries are serious, just bandage them simply," Guan Yu turned to Qin Qiu and said, "General Qin, quickly send scouts to the woods in the south to reconnoiter the enemy's movements." ”
"No!"
After receiving the order, Qin Qian immediately turned around to arrange the arrangement, and when he arranged it, Guan Yu had already turned over and got on the horse after the simple bandaging.
According to Guan Yu's order, Qin Qiu sent three teams of scouts to reconnoiter at the same time, and then ordered Qin Qiu to lead more than 100 cavalry to meet the follow-up infantry team, but Guan Yu did not let Qin Qiu continue to come here with the follow-up infantry to support, but asked Qin Qiu to lead troops to support the defense line along the river, and he rushed with 5,000 light cavalry to intercept Li Damu's department.
When Guan Yu led 5,000 light cavalry to a point about ten miles away from the woods, one of the scouts reported: "General, the enemy is arrayed at the edge of the woods, and they seem to have known that our army is coming!" ”
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Is there an enemy ambush around?" ”
The scout said: "Except for that wood, the surrounding vegetation is sparse and the terrain is gentle, and it is difficult for the ambush army to hide its whereabouts, and there should be no enemy ambushes." ”
Guan Yu nodded, and ordered the herald beside him: "Pass the order, and every soldier will cut a bundle of hay on the spot!" ”
The herald answered the promise and immediately went down to give the order.
Immediately, 20,000 foot soldiers of the Eighth Army dispersed on the spot and began to mow hay.
At the same time, Guan Yu ordered the returning scouts: "You immediately go to the direction of Gaoyang to reconnoitre, and at the same time send two fast horses to Gaoyang, so that they can be strictly guarded!" ”
The scout leader gave the order, and dozens of scouts rushed to the northeast.
The 20,000 foot soldiers cut the hay according to Guan Yu's order, and then continued to the north, and after about half an hour, the forest was close in front of them.
Guan Yu ordered five thousand light cavalry to line up in five rows, and then advance in a row.
Five thousand light horsemen slowly pushed forward, the dull sound of horses' hooves rumbling like thunder, and the unique killing aura of the military array permeated.
Guan Yu straddled the Shadow Divine Horse and marched in the middle of a military formation.
Hundreds of steps in front of the Dingping Army's formation, the 5,000 Yellow Turban Army formed a linear battle formation and waited for it.
The Dingping army advanced to a distance of about 150 steps from the Yellow Turban Army and stood up.
Guan Yu rode his horse to the front of the army, and as soon as he pulled the reins of the horse, the Shadow Divine Horse stood up and let out a dragon-like roar, and Li Yuan, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, smiled coldly when he saw Guan Yu, and immediately shouted: "The general of the defeated army, and his face stands in front of our army's formation, it is really shameless!" ”
"Humph!"
With a cold snort, Guan Yu, who had not said a word, directly raised his knife and rushed towards Li Yuan.
"Come well, see how I kill you!"
Seeing Guan Yu rushing towards him, Li Yuan immediately shouted, raised the spear in his hand and faced Guan Yu.
