CHAPTER XLIV
Ma Chao asked Guan Yu: "What are we going to do next, we can't wait here for Cao Cao to deal with those Buddha troops, and then come back to the military law to deal with us, right?" Guan Yu looked around, then looked back at the underworld soldiers who were following behind him, and finally he made a decision, and said slowly: "Chase over!" This decision made everyone very curious, few people present were willing to agree with Guan Yu's opinion, they were very puzzled about what this decision was intended for, and then Zhang Fei's temper first asked, "Second brother, why?" About was still thinking, seeing that he didn't reply, so, Zhang Fei's eyes rolled, and he gave General Huang Zhong a look on the side, Huang Zhong continued to ask: "I hope Brother Guan can tell one or two, so that we can be prepared." www.biquge.info"Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his right hand, and continued to bow his head and think about it with his left hand, and suddenly he thought of something, and when he looked up, he found Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong staring at him, "Third brother, General Huang, what are you looking at?" Zhang Fei walked over, patted his hand on Guan Yu's shoulder, smiled, and then glanced at each other with Huang Zhong, the corners of his mouth pursed and said, "Second brother, this is a fugue, and even the brother can't be seen!" Ma Chao and Zhao Zilong, who were around, laughed secretly when they heard it, and Huang Zhong stepped forward and asked, "We asked you just now, why are you chasing?" Guan Yu touched his beard and thought about it, and then he told them in a very natural manner, "Think about it, the last line of defense in the Buddha Realm must be more than these troops, and the one just now is a small number. The task of this time is to attract the main force of the enemy, but I didn't say how much, if that's it, although our strength is not as good as theirs, but it is easier to deal with than the real army, and even if the real main force of the enemy army attacks Cao Cao's base camp, it will not depend on us! Listening to Guan Yu's words, the generals instantly understood the reason why they did this, and everyone passed the decision, and then the five tiger generals led four thousand men and horses to chase those Buddhist troops, leaving a thousand horses in the same place to watch the place, and by the way, it played the role of an ambush.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the others immediately retreated to the rear, and after making sure that they had reached a safe distance, everyone got on their horses and raced, using the mountain range as a cover, and rushed towards the enemy. Although the army sent by the Buddha Realm was only more than 10,000 people, its combat strength was particularly strong, and the marching speed was still slightly slower than that of Guan Yu and others. In the very center of the mountain range, there is a deep valley that leads directly to the front of the mountain, when I walked before, there was a special survey of the terrain here, the road is uneven, overgrown with weeds, and the cliffs on both sides are easy to climb up, Guan Yu led the army in order to save time and catch up with the Buddha army as soon as possible, so he had to choose this shortcut, but when the army entered the valley, Zhao Zilong felt that something was not right, so he quickly stepped forward to tell Guan Yu what he was worried about, Guan Yu himself also felt that there was a problem here, and it was a little surprising, quiet, There was no sound at all except the sound of his own army marching. Zhao Zilong looked up and looked up, the cliff arm wall is steep, showing an inverted trapezoidal shape from the bottom to the top, you can't see what is on the top at a glance, and then look around, the road is narrow, both sides are empty, there is nothing that can be used as a shelter, in case of ambush, even if you plug in the wings, it is difficult to escape, plus after entering the Buddha realm, the strength will be reduced, and the underworld soldiers cannot repair themselves, once they are hit the vital point, they will be wiped out, in this case, everyone does not want to take the risk to try whether it is dangerous, However, it was already closer to more than a third of the position, and even if he wanted to retreat, it would be very difficult, Guan Yu ordered, "The whole army will be rectified on the spot!" At the same time that the troops stopped, more than a dozen survey soldiers were sent to investigate the situation, and in case there was an ambush, it was better to evacuate as soon as possible. The five tiger generals dismounted and said something to each other, Guan Yu didn't want to give up this road, he hoped that the front was no different, and he hoped that the Buddhist army could be introduced into the valley and use the terrain advantage to strangle it as much as possible. Just as they were waiting for the spies to report on the exploration situation ahead, they suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly, Ma Chao leaned down to listen, and the rumbling sound came from the ground into his ears, this is the sound of the army marching, it is absolutely not wrong, he is too familiar with the sound!
Ma Chao told Guan Yu what he thought, "This must be the sound of the Buddhist army marching, judging from the size of the voice, the number should be around 10,000 people." "When Guan Yu heard it, the opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again. He must seize this opportunity in front of him, and do everything he can to stop them here before they pass through the valley, and the most important thing is to complete his mission. Thinking of this, the big guy couldn't take care of other factors at all, and couldn't wait for the return of the spies, Guan Yu led the army to march at full speed to the valley mouth in front, only Zhao Zilong was a little worried about this hasty decision, he suddenly turned around and galloped in the opposite direction with a small group of men and horses, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong were anxious to intercept the Buddha army, they just glanced at it and didn't ask more, Guan Yu thought that Zhao Zilong must have his own reasons for doing this, not fear. The thousand-year-old comradeship has already eliminated grievances between these generals and has a certain degree of trust, no matter what they do, it is for the sake of the interests of the underworld, and there are no selfish people. Guan Yu has been in friendship for many years, he believes in Zhao Zilong, so he continues to move forward without asking too much, and so are the others.
Ma Chao was at the back of the line, and the worry in his heart was no less than Guan Yu's, plus when he saw Zhao Zilong doing the opposite before, he thought that something must be wrong, and the surrounding environment made him feel even more uneasy. Just as the army had reached a third of the length of the passage from the exit, a large number of bows and arrows suddenly shot down from the top of the cliff, flying down from both sides and piercing the bodies of the soldiers, killing half of the soldiers. At this time, everyone panicked, Ma Chao immediately organized the heavy armor soldiers in the middle part to defend, they used their shields to resist the arrows falling overhead, because of the effect of gravitational acceleration, the power of the arrows became particularly large, many shields have been riddled with holes, and even more were directly penetrated and pierced into the soldiers' bodies. Seeing the soldiers fall to the ground one by one, Ma Chao was a little anxious, he ordered all the soldiers to turn their shields into two layers, and walk forward along the cliffs on both sides,,,
