Chapter 195: Guo Huai's Death
The earth-shattering shouts outside Tianshui City woke up Guo Huai in his sleep, and he quickly rolled over from the couch, summoned the guards, and asked what happened?
The guards hurriedly reported: "Governor Xiahou gathered 20,000 troops in the middle of the night and attacked the Shu camp with him. ”
"What?!" Guo Huai was shocked, he never expected Xiahou Xuan to act so recklessly, and he rushed out of the army without consulting him at all.
"Nonsense! …… It's nonsense! How could the Shu camp be so easy to rob? If it was really so easy to fight, this official would have beaten it a long time ago! ”
It was rare for the guards to see Guo Huai so angry, and they were too frightened to speak.
Guo Huai was still angry, and hurriedly asked, "What is the situation of the battle outside the city now?" ”
The guard replied tremblingly, "Good...... It seems that the army outside the city has been surrounded by the Shu army. ”
"What?!" Guo Huai's heart suddenly cooled half, and he hurriedly ordered:
"Hurry up and inform General Deng Ai, and ask him to quickly gather troops and horses and send troops to rescue the army out of the city. In addition, the troops in the city who have not yet left the city will be assembled, and the official will personally lead the army out of the city to rescue. ”
The guards hurriedly followed Guo Huai's instructions and went out to convey the order.
Guo Huai immediately ordered someone to put on his armor, and after putting on the armor, he picked up the long knife in the room, and carried a curved bow on his back, and walked out of the door in a hurry.
Surrounded by a group of guards, he came to the Tianshui military camp.
When all the soldiers saw Guo Huai's arrival, they saluted Guo Huai one after another, and everyone cast admiring glances at Guo Huai.
Guo Huai looked at these Yongzhou soldiers, and his heart was suddenly full of emotion. It stands to reason that he has already handed over his military power at this moment, but the battle situation outside the city means that he has to temporarily regain his military power and rescue the Wei army who are in a bitter battle outside the city.
So he came to the camp and said to the Wei army that was densely packed around:
"All the Great Wei Yongzhou athletes, at this moment, your comrades-in-arms are fighting bloodily outside the city, and now they have fallen into the siege of the Shu army, brothers are bleeding, and only you can save them. It stands to reason that this officer no longer leads troops now, but this officer can't sit back and watch his comrades being slaughtered, so are you willing to follow this officer out of Tianshui and rescue his comrades? ”
"I'm willing!" Soon, Wei Jun replied loudly.
"I'll follow Master Guo to the death!" More and more voices are coming together.
"Fight out of the sky and rescue your comrades!" Some began to raise their arms and chant.
Guo Huai saw that the morale of the troops was still there, and immediately ordered:
"All armies, follow me out of the city!"
Immediately the armies began to quickly assemble their teams, at this moment there were still 20,000 Tianshui garrisons in the city, as well as 20,000 Nan'an soldiers under Deng Ai's department, Guo Huai heard that Deng Ai's camp also began to make a burst of sounds, knowing that Deng Ai must have also moved.
So he did not hesitate any longer, and immediately led his army towards the north gate.
At this moment, the north gate was guarded by Yu Linwei under the command of Xiahou Xuan, and after Guo Huai arrived with his army, he immediately ordered Yu Linwei to open the door.
One of Yu Linwei's generals shouted:
"Bold! Without the order of the military governor, who dares to bring troops without permission? ”
Guo Huai jumped out of the crowd and said to the general:
"This official is Guo Huai, the assassin of Yongzhou, open the city gate quickly!"
Unexpectedly, the general of the Yulin guard did not listen to Guo Huai's order at all, and raised his head and said:
"The last general only listened to the military orders of the governor of Xiahou, and before the governor left the city, he strictly ordered the last general not to open the city gate without permission before the army won, otherwise the military law will be engaged."
Guo Huai shouted: "The army outside the city has been surrounded by the Shu army, and it is in danger, open the city gate at this moment, we may be able to rescue many soldiers, if it is late, the army outside the city will be wiped out, can you afford this responsibility?" ”
Who expected that this general of Yu Linwei would not enter the oil and salt, and said to Guo Huai:
"Without the military order of the governor of Xiahou, please forgive the general who will not be able to open the city."
"Presumptuous!"
Guo Huai shouted violently, reluctantly bent his bow and arrow, aimed at the head of the general of Yulinwei, and then shot an arrow.
With a soft sound of "Hugh", the sharp arrow instantly pierced the throat of the general of Yulinwei, and the general fell to the ground in response. Guo Huai glared angrily at Yu Linwei, who was guarding the city gate, and shouted:
"Open the gates quickly, and those who violate the order will die!"
The Yulin guards were stunned, and they all trembled and didn't know what to do, at this time, the guards beside Guo Huai rushed up and quickly unloaded Yulinwei's weapons.
Then everyone joined forces and opened the north gate of Tianshui City.
The city gate suddenly opened, and Guo Huai immediately wanted to lead the army to rush out, but who expected that under the city gate, a large number of Hun cavalry and Wei soldiers were mixed together.
The Huns galloped back and forth in the chaotic crowd, wantonly slashing and killing the soldiers of the Wei army, and the Wei soldiers could not form a formation, and in front of the massive cavalry, they seemed powerless.
Guo Huai shouted: "Come with me, kill out!" Then he rode his horse toward the gate of the city.
Suddenly, the servants were like clouds, and the Tianshui soldiers in the city rushed towards the outside of the city with their weapons held high.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he rushed to the gate of the city, he encountered a large number of Wei troops who were crazy and wanted to rush back to the city. The two sides soon huddled together.
The Wei army who left the city shouted: "Get out of the way, we are here to save you!" ”
The Wei army, who squeezed in, also shouted: "Let's retreat in first, defeat and defeat!" ”
Guo Huai has been crowded in the center of the two groups of people, unable to advance or retreat. Guo Huai's personal guards hurriedly tried hard to push the surrounding Wei troops away, so as not to collide with Guo Huai.
But the crowd became denser and denser, there were 20,000 troops waiting to leave the city in the city, and tens of thousands of people outside the city were waiting to enter the city.
Seeing this, Guo Huai shouted: "Retreat from the city, let the brothers outside the city enter the city first!" Pass my orders back! ”
The guards hurriedly passed Guo Huai's order back, and the people in the city retreated a little, and immediately the people outside the city squeezed in a lot.
There are so many people in the city that they won't be able to disperse for a while. At the moment when Guo Huai was in a dilemma, he suddenly sensed an inexplicable killing intent, and he subconsciously lowered his head on the battlefield all the year round, and a sharp arrow flew quickly against his head, directly hitting a personal soldier beside him.
He looked up and saw a Xiongnu general looking at him, and he recognized that the person was Liu Bao, the Xiongnu Zuoxian King who had surrendered to Shu Han.
Seeing that Liu Bao was preparing to shoot the second arrow again, Guo Huai was squeezed into the crowd, and the space for maneuvering was extremely limited, so he hurriedly raised his longbow and bent his bow towards Liu Bao to shoot at Liu Bao.
Guo Huai's archery skills are also good, and he locked on Liu Bao in the blink of an eye.
"Hugh" sounded in the air, and a sharp arrow quickly shot towards Liu Bao, Liu Bao's body leaned slightly, and he dodged the arrow shot by Guo Huai, and while obliquely dodging the arrow, he aimed at Guo Huai and shot an arrow.
Guo Huai was about to dodge, but the crowd surging into the city suddenly rushed towards the city, pushing Guo Huai's crotch horse back like a human wave, and at this moment, a sharp arrow came towards Guo Huai's face door like lightning.
With a crisp sound of "Hugh", the sharp arrow instantly penetrated Guo Huai's throat.
Guo Huai felt as if he had been bitten by some beast, looked down, and saw a blood hole appear out of thin air between his throats, and in an instant, blood gushed out of Guo Huai's throat, Guo Huai subconsciously wanted to cover it with both hands, but he couldn't cover it.
Guo Huai felt that his life was rapidly disappearing, and he looked at the chaotic Wei army outside the city with pity, and fell heavily from his horse.
