Chapter 302 Three tigers and one deer chase Fancheng together
Zhang Liao, whose life was cut off by Guan Yu's sword, endured the huge pain in his body and looked at his horrific wound.
The moment he saw the wound, Zhang Liao knew that his life was coming to an end.
With such a serious injury, even if Guan Yu is willing to find a doctor to treat him, it will be impossible to save him, not to mention that he and Guan Yu are still enemies?
However, Zhang Liao did not feel afraid because his life was about to come to an end. He had anticipated this in his heart when he rushed towards Guan Yu.
Zhang Liao is not afraid of Guan Yu's reputation as an enemy of thousands of people, but that doesn't mean he thinks he can defeat Guan Yu.
During the Battle of Guandu, Guan Yu rode alone into the tens of thousands of troops and beheaded Yan Liang, and then fought his way out from the tens of thousands of troops.
In that battle, Guan Yu won more than just Yan Liang's head.
This incident may only be heard by others, but Zhang Liao, who was the vanguard of Cao's army with Guan Yu at the time, witnessed it with his own eyes.
After seeing Guan Yu's bravery, Zhang Liao knew that he was definitely no match for Guan Yu in terms of bravery.
As blood continued to flow from the wound, and as the severe pain in his body invaded his mind, Zhang Liao reached out and picked up a long knife beside him.
Although Guan Yu quickly stabilized his figure, a look of defeat soon appeared on Guan Yu's face.
"The three of us will lead our elite troops to Fancheng quickly."
When Zhang Liao saw Guan Yu approaching, he lay on the ground and looked up at the stalwart man in front of him. He used his last strength and said, "Yun Chang, can you help me up?"
This will undoubtedly make Guan Yu's reputation resound throughout the world again.
The first person to come to Guan Yu was Zhang Fei.
Zhang Liao's voice was so low that only Guan Yu could hear it. After hearing this, Guan Yu had an unspeakable meaning on his face.
Although there are still some tigers and warriors around who are stubbornly resisting, the only thing waiting for those Wei army's warriors and warriors is death.
Zhang Fei excitedly said to Guan Yu: "Brother, hurry up and march into Fancheng."
After the general Wen Qindu fled, the remaining Wei army had no choice but to surrender.
It's just that although Zhang Liao is not a perfect person, he also has his own pride.
You know your own body best.
The second sentence is a reminder from Zhang Liao as a friend:
"take care."
He stuck the long knife into the soil, and then tried to use the long knife as a point of support to stand up again.
And just after standing up, as the blood continued to gush out from his waist, Zhang Liao's face became paler, and he felt that his consciousness had become increasingly blurred.
He saw a look of exhaustion on Guan Yu's face, and he said two final words to Guan Yu:
The first sentence is: "If that day comes, protect me, Mrs. Zhang."
In the battle just now, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu fought in separate places to kill the enemy.
Looking at Guan Yu's face after hearing his words, Zhang Liao understood everything.
But just now he was blocked by some Wei troops and could not reach Guan Yu immediately.
In this battle, Guan Yu not only wiped out tens of thousands of Wei troops, but also killed Cao Wei's general Zhang Liao. This was already considered an unprecedented victory.
In addition to its strategic significance, Fancheng also has another meaning in the hearts of many Ji Han fans in later generations.
For example, when Guan Yu entered the army of ten thousand and killed several Yuan Jun generals, he killed a lot of people, but he didn't use much time.
How could this huge strategic significance not excite the Han army?
Among the Han generals, Wei Yan and Deng Ai had the most active minds.
This alone is enough to excite them.
After arriving at Guan Yu's side, Zhang Fei first carefully looked at Guan Yu's expression. Seeing that Guan Yu's expression was not serious, he finally felt relieved.
Three tigers chase Fan!
I hope God will give him some more time to enter Fancheng.
However, Zhang Liao discovered during the battle with Guan Yu just now that Guan Yu was not in his prime at all.
After hearing Zhang Fei's words, Guan Yu looked at the Wei troops who were either surrendered or dead in the entire battlefield, and he said to Zhang Fei: "Call Meng Qi over quickly."
Things on the battlefield are always cruel and unpredictable. No one can accurately predict the future.
This is because everyone in the world is regretting that Guan Yu was only one step away from taking Fancheng, and they are all regretting that Guan Yu could not enter Fancheng in the end.
Guan Yu's order made Zhang Fei even more excited.
Hate is hate, but hate cannot be turned into unilateral massacre.
It was just that after Zhang Fei left, he didn't see that Guan Yu was standing a little unsteadily.
After Zhang Liao's death, the Han army kept shouting "Zhang Liao is dead".
He said sincerely: "Thank you very much."
But this is not enough.
After several consecutive struggling movements, Zhang Liao's injuries became more and more serious, and at the same time, Zhang Liao lost his last strength.
Apart from the unexpected sadness, Guan Yu's eyes also showed empathy.
If Zhang Liao scolded Guan Yu before his death, then Guan Yu would not have any tenderness towards Zhang Liao.
Mi Yang had just defeated Wen Qin's troops without expending much effort.
Perhaps ordinary Han soldiers were unaware of the importance of Fancheng to Ji Han's forces.
Guan Yu's illness has always existed.
Just one chapter today, and I’ll take a day off tomorrow for New Year’s Eve.
Hearing Zhang Liao's plea, Guan Yu had a look of intolerance on his face.
But the purpose of fighting on the battlefield is to kill the enemy, so the emphasis is on attacking with full force and defeating the enemy quickly.
After hearing this news, the last fighting spirit of the Wei army was lost, and more and more Wei soldiers simply abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
As for why Guan Yu was not in his prime, Zhang Liao already had an inference in his mind.
Although Guan Yu has been acting normal these days, the pain in Guan Yu's body is always present.
But Zhang Liao still managed to hold on for a breath and showed a pale smile to Guan Yu.
Guan Yu could clearly see Zhang Liao's series of struggling movements just now.
It will definitely become a good story in the future.
Despite Guan Yu's help, the huge wound on his waist still caused Zhang Liao to cry out in pain when he stood up.
This army was small in number and was personally led by Han Zuo General Mi Yang. It only numbered about three thousand, and almost everyone was injured.
And if Guan Yu was in his prime, his full blow would be enough to split him in half.
I remember how swiftly Guan Yu killed Yan Liang, who was as brave as himself.
But they all know that as long as they can become the first team to win Fancheng, then what awaits them is glory and rewards.
So under Zhang Liao's plea, Guan Yu leaned over and helped Zhang Liao up to stand beside him.
This was Zhang Liao's plea to Guan Yu, who was responsible for the rise and fall of his family, and it was also his biggest obsession before his death.
Now that the situation on the entire battlefield was completely controlled by the Han army, Zhang Fei immediately came to Guan Yu's side.
Because of this, Mi Yang accepted Wei Yan and Deng Ai's proposal after defeating Wen Qin's troops, and immediately led a part of his elite troops to rush towards Fancheng.
The fact that the battle has reached this point means that all battles on the battlefield are coming to an end.
If you already want to die, how can you be afraid of death?
Unexpectedly, Zhang Wenyuan, a fierce general who could break through 100,000 with 800 in the past, could not even stand up today.
Everyone is his own master, the world is like this, what can he do even if he is an unparalleled hero?
When a person is alive, the boundaries between grudges and enemies and friends are always very clear.
This made Guan Yu's eyes reveal a sigh of relief.
Wen Qin is not a fool.
And as Fan A said before, if Guan Yu continues to work hard, his illness will only get worse.
Looking at Zhang Liao's drooped head and Zhang Liao's motionless body, a mixed emotion surged into Guan Yu's heart.
Zhang Liao's tone was full of pleading.
Unlike Guan Yu's mixed emotions, Zhang Fei's face showed great excitement when he saw Zhang Liao's death.
Such engagements tend to be quick.
Before he completely lost consciousness, Zhang Liao looked at his former friend beside him.
And just after Zhang Liao said these words with his last consciousness, his head drooped heavily, and his whole person completely lost his life.
Before the war started, Guan Yu had issued two strategic goals to his generals after victory.
Only by successfully capturing Fancheng after victory can all strategic goals be considered completed.
After falling heavily to the ground for the last time, Zhang Liao finally gave up his struggle.
At this time, Guan Yu walked up to Zhang Liao with his sword in hand.
Just when Zhang Fei advised Guan Yu to march into Fancheng, an elite force was already heading towards Fancheng quickly.
With Mi Yang's current status, taking over Fancheng would only be the icing on the cake for him, and would not increase his power further.
Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, Cao Wei's five best generals, have died at the hands of Guan Yu.
But they are about to die, so why should we be too persistent about some grudges?
After thanking Guan Yu, Zhang Liao said to Guan Yu in a small voice: "You are not in your prime today."
It is because of Fancheng's important strategic significance that even though he was ill, Cao Cao had to ensure the safety of Fancheng before he dared to return to Yecheng.
After accepting the surrender of thousands of Wei troops, Mi Yang ordered people to inquire about news hundreds of steps away from the battlefield, and ordered his infantry to step up repairs.
No matter how brave and fearsome a person may have been in the past, when he is about to die, he is no different than a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
As more and more Han troops surrounded them, Zhang Liao's hundreds of tigers and soldiers had been wiped out.
The reason why Guan Yu behaved like ordinary people before was partly because he had a strong obsession in his heart supporting him.
So when Zhang Fei saw Guan Yu leading his men to kill Zhang Liao just now, he was very worried.
In addition to Yu Jin who was forced to surrender by Guan Yu, three of the so-called five great generals who are famous throughout the world have already fallen into Guan Yu's hands.
But unfortunately, Zhang Liao was seriously injured by Guan Yu's full blow, which made Zhang Liao struggle to stand up several times but failed.
Feeling the waves of discomfort starting to gradually revive in his body, Guan Yu looked in the direction of Fancheng.
That's why he just rushed forward to fight Guan Yu with the mentality of seeking death.
Zhang Fei was worried about Guan Yu's condition.
Fancheng has become a source of sadness for many people in later generations, including Mi Yang.
Compared with the excitement of ordinary soldiers, Mi Yang, who led the Han army, had other thoughts in his heart.
And from the day he joined the army, he had already made some preparations in his mind.
For a young man who was deeply favored by Guan Yu, taking Fancheng and dedicating it to Guan Yu was also a way for him to repay his kindness.
It is true that capturing Fancheng does not mean capturing the entire county of Nanyang.
Outside the same city, he personally saw off his two best friends.
But what can be done about this?
After sizing up Guan Yu, Zhang Fei turned his attention to Zhang Liao's body.
Zhang Liao's thank you was not only to thank Guan Yu for helping him so that he would not lie on the ground waiting for death, but also to thank Guan Yu for being willing to help him when he was about to die.
He and Zhang Liao were both powerful generals in the world. The tragic situation Zhang Liao faced today was actually one of the endings he had envisioned for himself in the past.
Now that the overall situation has been decided, Guan Yu is not afraid of Zhang Liao causing any more trouble.
During the sparring session, competition is the main focus, and there is no murderous intention, so all kinds of exciting fighting skills will be performed.
In that situation, everyone knew that the Wei army was at an end, so before Wen Qin was surrounded by the Han army, he quickly led some of the Wei army to flee the battlefield.
On the other hand, Fan A kept using the secret recipes left by Hua Tuo to stimulate the potential in Guan Yu's body.
Guan Yu then thought of Xu Huang who committed suicide outside Fancheng.
Because the direction they are heading towards is Fancheng, which Ji Han's forces have always been thinking about!
After the Wei troops in the battlefield abandoned their weapons and knelt down to surrender, the Han generals also stopped the sharp swords of their soldiers in time.
Whenever future generations mention Fancheng, they will definitely think of Guan Yu.
One strategic goal is to kill Cao Wei's central army as much as possible, and the other is to seize Fancheng as soon as possible after victory.
They were good friends back then and also fought side by side.
Guan Yu is not afraid of death, but he is a man who values friendship.
After Zhang Liao completely lost his life, Guan Yu beside him immediately noticed this scene.
Every move is simple and unpretentious, yet full of murderous intent.
Fighting on the battlefield is not like sparring in peacetime.
Zhang Liao was an extraordinary person. Although he discovered some things late, he still discovered them.
However, although these two methods could temporarily stabilize Guan Yu's condition, they only treated the symptoms.
Moreover, Zhang Liao was also one of the five good generals of Cao Wei.
Fancheng is as important to Jingzhou as Hanzhong is to Yizhou.
But as soon as the Han army captures Fancheng, it means that the water control rights of the entire Han River are completely controlled by the Han army, and it means that the Han army's passage from Jingzhou north to Wanluo has been opened.
This is the fundamental difference between the Han army and the Wei army.
From then on, in Jingzhou alone, the Han army already had the strategic initiative in the Northern Expedition.
Under the influence of excitement, Zhang Fei immediately went to look for Ma Chao.
But before Zhang Liao died, he still cared about him as a good friend.
If some of his original thoughts were just doubts, after being struck by Guan Yu's sword, Zhang Liao's doubts had turned into determination.
It's just that although Zhang Fei has been fighting the enemy bravely, his eyes are looking at Guan Yu from time to time.
The blow he received was Guan Yu's full blow.
At this time, many Han generals were able to escape and gather beside Guan Yu.
Although Zhang Liao's status in Cao Pi's heart was not as important as that of Cao Ren, Zhang Liao's reputation in the world was much higher than that of Cao Ren.
This made Guan Yu, who valued friendship and friendship, feel a little mixed about Zhang Liao's departure.
But for a time traveler, taking Fancheng can make up for the regrets in his heart.
When the Han generals under Mi Yang received a report from the scouts and learned that the defeat of the Wei army in the main battlefield was a foregone conclusion, their minds instantly became active.
But the faces of the more than three thousand Han troops were filled with excitement.
