Zhang Wu led 10,000 soldiers first, Chen Gui and Zhang Wen each led 5,000 soldiers and horses to follow Zhang Wu's army not far away, while Chen Ping waited for a while and then slowly advanced towards Xinye.

Zhang Wu took out a note handed to him by Wang Wen, the military advisor before leaving, which read: "After General Zhang Wu arrives at Xinye City, he can order his soldiers and horses to beat drums at the same time, shout loudly for command, and after luring the Xinye defenders to attack, they can be captured." ”

Zhang Wu carefully read the note handed to him by Wang Wen several times, and silently recited it three times in his heart, firmly remembering the instructions above.

......

Under Shinno Castle.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had been waiting here for a long time, Zhang Wu's soldiers and horses slowly advanced, and saw that there were only a few people patrolling on the city gate, Zhang Wu saw this situation, and it seemed that it was really as Chen Gui said, the defenders of Xinye City were lax, and the soldiers and horses were tired, which was a good opportunity for a sneak attack.

Zhang Wu thought for a moment, he didn't dare to disobey Chen Ping's order, so he had to follow Wang Wen's strategy and order a thousand soldiers to beat drums and cheer in unison, and the shouts of killing echoed in Xinye City for a while.

Just when Zhang Wu thought that he had given up a great opportunity, hundreds of archers suddenly flashed out from the walls of Xinye Castle and looked at the bottom of Xinye Castle, as if looking for a target.

Zhang Wu couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Wang Wenjun is really a god!" ”

As he spoke, he ordered the whole army to retreat slowly, and on the way back, he searched for the enemy.

Zhang Wugang wanted to retreat, but who expected that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei suddenly flashed out from the southwest and northwest, and Zhang Fei scolded: "Where to go?!" ”

Saying that, Zhang Fei rushed towards Zhang Wu with a spear and a prancing horse, Zhang Wu was not ambiguous, as the first general of Chen Pingjun, he was naturally very confident in his martial arts, he slapped his horse and flew with Zhang Fei.

The two of them used spears together, and both sides stabbed me and slashed, and they were all dodged, and Zhang Wu was naturally easy to fight because of his numerical advantage.

Guan Yu saw that Zhang Fei was entangled by small soldiers, and also came to help, who expected that Guan Yu had just slapped the horse, and Chen Gui and Zhang Wen's second generals led 10,000 soldiers and horses to kill from behind Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Chen Gui looked at the bearded man in front of him, presumably he was Guan Yu, Chen Gui didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, rushed forward and slashed, and Zhang Wen and the two attacked Guan Yu left and right, Guan Yu was naturally good at martial arts, and Chen Gui couldn't support it with just one knife.

Zhang Wen saw that Chen Gui was a little unable to support it, so he hurriedly stabbed Guan Yu behind him, Chen Gui was able to escape, Guan Yu dodged and slashed at Zhang Wen's arm, and blood flowed in an instant.

Zhang Wen and Chen Gui knew that there was a huge disparity in martial arts and were defeated by Guan Yu, so they commanded 10,000 of their men to fight a wheel battle with Guan Yu, intending to consume Guan Yu's physical strength, Guan Yu cut off the heads of the soldiers around him with a knife, and everyone did not dare to take a step closer to Guan Yu's side.

Guan Yu Zhang Fei knew his plan, but he was not panicked, Guan Yu directly gave an order: "The whole army retreats!" ”

Saying that he and Zhang Fei covered the retreat of their soldiers and horses, Zhang Wu, Zhang Wen, Chen Gui and other soldiers and horses wanted to pursue, but Zhang Fei shouted: "Yanren Zhang Yide is here, who dares to come forward to challenge?" Yanren Zhang Yide is here, who dares to come forward to challenge? ”

After hearing this, everyone felt a suffocating sense of oppression spread from Zhang Fei's body to the surroundings, and with a Guan Yu beside Zhang Fei, everyone did not dare to step forward.

Zhang Wu no longer commanded the soldiers and horses to attack, after all, the purpose of his trip was not Guan Yu Zhang Fei, but the army that was ambushed in the place where it must pass, and now that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are here, then it must be Liu Bei's henchman Zhao Yun who is ambushed in the place where he must pass.

If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are forced at the moment, I am afraid that the three of them will not be able to protect their heads, and everyone is so frightened by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei that they are silent, quietly watching the two of them and their soldiers and horses leave.

When Zhang Wu saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei leaving, he also ordered his soldiers and horses to retreat slowly and advance towards Gulin, the place they had to pass.

......

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the remaining nine thousand soldiers and horses to flee back to Xinye City, Liu Bei, Xu Shu, Liu Wu and others had been waiting here for a long time, Liu Bei saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei coming back, and quickly stepped forward: "Yun Changyide, how is the situation?" Did Chen Ping's military horses come to attack? ”

When Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei, his tears suddenly couldn't stop flowing out, and he knelt down directly with excitement: "Big brother, my second brother and I heard the sound ......of Chen Pingjun's charge, but no one attacked the city as far as the eye could see, and the second brother saw that no one was attacking the city, and he was afraid that these people would escape, so he immediately rushed forward and tried to intercept these soldiers and horses, who expected, who expected" Zhang Fei choked up and couldn't speak.

Guan Yu also angrily slammed the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand to the ground, now he has a lot of strength, but there is no place to use it, this battle, lost a thousand people in vain, these are the people and horses that Liu Bei has worked hard to accumulate, but he has lost the lives of these people in this way, as the main general, Guan Yu has an unshirkable responsibility.

Liu Bei already had a premonition that something was wrong when he heard this, and now he just wanted to hear Zhang Fei's affirmative reply and confirm this fact.

Seeing that Zhang Fei was speechless, Liu Wu hurriedly comforted him, trying to calm Zhang Fei down: "Yi Demo is going to be sad, now tell me all the truth about the situation just now, maybe the situation can be saved." ”

Guan Yu heard Liu Wu say that there was still salvation, and immediately replied: "Yu was afraid that those few people would escape, and immediately led the troops to intercept them, the third brother and I together, I thought that Chen Pingjun only had 10,000 soldiers and horses, but who expected that after just entering the battle, 10,000 soldiers and horses rushed out from the left and right sides, and the two of us repelled the three people who led the leader, but they were surrounded by 20,000 soldiers and horses, and they could not move. ”

Xu Shu was a little shocked when he heard this: "Twenty thousand soldiers and horses!" This is something Xu Shu didn't expect, hearing this, Xu Shu already knew that his plan had been seen through by Chen Ping, he really couldn't figure out what he had miscalculated? The defeat of this battle, Xu Shu has to bear the primary responsibility for this.

Guan Yu glanced at Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi Military Division, Yun Chang will not be mistaken, it must be 20,000 soldiers and horses." ”

Zhang Fei had gradually calmed down at this time, and he added: "Fortunately, the second brother and I fought hard to deter the three enemy generals and their soldiers and horses, and our troops were able to escape, and now there are about 5,000 soldiers and horses left. ”

After hearing this, Liu Bei hurriedly relieved: "The second brother and the third brother are fine." ”

Liu Wu heard the words of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and immediately felt that the situation was a little bad, this was obviously Chen Ping's calculation that we would set up an ambush outside Xinye City tonight, so he deliberately let 10,000 soldiers and horses as bait to feint Xinye, and ordered 10,000 soldiers and horses to ambush left and right to encircle and suppress, and now Yun Changyide has been lured out, but they do not encircle and suppress, what do they want to do?

Liu Wu's brain was thinking rapidly, and after a burst of brainstorming, he suddenly reacted and shouted at everyone: "Not good! ”

Everyone's eyes once again focused on Liu Wu's body.
