After Lei Bo discussed with Chen Gong, everything went as planned.

He brought the former Yuan Shu army two years ago, as well as a small number of Zhu Jun, who had taken the initiative to get closer to Yuan Shu army, to form the former Northern Army, and hurriedly withdrew from the east gate of Luoyang City the next evening.

I wanted to take advantage of the gap, and I could walk the night road and spend dozens of miles overnight, and find a hole on the edge of Guan Yu's defense zone and rush out.

Unfortunately, Lei Bo certainly underestimated Guan Yu's dike against Luoyang troops breaking through the embankment—

After all, Zhuge Liang had already returned to Guan Yu's army. Guan Yu had already understood the strategy of "felt attacking Huguan and Yecheng and luring Yuan Shao's army troops on the southern front to rescue him." He knew about when the enemy would move.

Therefore, after Lei Bo left the city, he was discovered by Guan Yu's search website only in the middle of the night before he even arrived in Yanshi, and reported to Guan Yu at the fourth day of the day.

Guan Yu is also diligent enough and has been sleeping very alert these days. His direct troops are currently stationed in Mengjin, an important Yellow River Ferry in northeastern Luoyang.

Guan Yu also repeatedly took care of his officers in advance: Any news of the enemy breaking through or retreating, even if he sleeps well, he must report it as soon as possible, and it doesn't matter if he wakes up.

Therefore, Guan Yu immediately made arrangements and adjustments, summoned the generals who participated in the pursuit, and ordered:

"Let the troops prepare for a little, and prepare to intercept the enemy after dawn - but be careful, do not rashly intercept the enemy's head before thoroughly understanding the enemy's situation. lest the enemy be scared so much that the rear army turns around and retreats back to Luoyang City.

Our primary goal is not to annihilate many enemies, but to ensure that Luoyang City is taken as intact as possible. In a few days, let Mr. Ju Su persuade him to surrender. Now, a fight is just to establish his authority and let the defenders know our Thunder Army's authority and determination to restore our revival.

Therefore, if we force the enemy who breaks out, resulting in variables when siege or persuade them to surrender, it will be unsightly. Therefore, for the enemy who breaks out this time, we must ensure that we do not stop our heads, do not intercept our waists, and only hit our tails. We bite the enemy's tail and chase them all the time! Even if we cannot completely wipe out it, it doesn't matter, just drive them forward and fight!"

One of the biggest disadvantages of pursuit wars is that they cannot surround and annihilate the enemy. But if you just want to defeat the opponent, pursuit war is the easiest to do.

In the current situation, Guan Yu did not care whether he had completely wiped out the Yuan Shao army that was seduced and retreated. What he wanted was to try to get it back to Luoyang City at a low price.

Guan Yu's attack on the breakout troops was to kill the chicken and to create better conditions for Ju Su to come forward to persuade the surrender.

Therefore, Lei Bo actually played a role similar to the guard general of Tianjin during the Pingjin Battle. Guan Yu wanted to kill him to sacrifice his sword and further deter the defenders who remained in Luoyang City.

Moreover, the cleaner and more beautiful the killing, the greater the deterrence effect on the enemies who are still in Luoyang.

It’s like in the Battle of Pingjin, it not only pursues the pursuit of breaking through Tianjin, but also shows off that “it only takes over 20 hours, and it takes less than a day to break through Tianjin”, so that the garrison in Peking can be more scared.

Guan Yu's deployment was quickly arranged. The troops in Mengjin on the north and Taigu on the south were promptly informed by the Kuaima Messenger, who would attack from the north and south at that time to block Lei Bo's withdrawal to the west of Yanshi as soon as possible. If the situation was wrong, they would retreat to Luoyang City.

Then, the troops would chase Lei Bo all the way east and chase him, killing as much as he can. Although Lei Bo has not yet fallen into a state of war, the final fate of this veteran thief general under Yuan Shu has been clearly arranged.

...

Because Guan Yu had to conduct a comprehensive dispatch, the two lines of the north and south took action at the same time, and after agreeing not to stop him, Lei Bo actually spent another morning safely.

Until the afternoon of October 14th, his troops passed Yanshi and Gong County safely, and Lei Bo's heart was slightly calmer.

Lei Bo thought to himself: "It seems that Guan Yu's troops interspersed between Yin Zhuguan in Henan and opened up the connection with Gao Shun, which is limited to this. The current movement is smaller than the previous few days, and it is mostly bluffing or strategic direction has been adjusted.

His main force has indeed been drawn north in the past few days and turned from Shangdang of Hanoi to attack Wei County. It should be that Liu Bei felt that Luoyang was not the primary goal, and he should make every effort to put Yecheng first."

After thinking about this, Lei Boyan saw that he had walked east along the Luo River safely. The first day was about to pass, and his heart became more and more calm.

However, his good days were over. It was less than half past afternoon, at two or three o'clock, and it was dark for more than an hour, but at the end of the horizon to the west, Guan Yu's pursuit army appeared. There were thousands of cavalry, and there were countless infantry soldiers and I couldn't see clearly, but there were definitely more.

These troops were only Guan Yu's troops in Mengjin, Taigu and other places, because the troops from other attacking positions could not react so quickly. Guan Yu was very proud of his face and led his troops to chase him.

Lei Bo had just walked east from Gong County for half an hour, and it was about twenty miles away. It was exactly where Qianbuba Village was not in the back, and there was no city to hide in the city.

Going westward, I think it will be early tomorrow morning in Chenggao, and I will arrive in Xingyang tomorrow afternoon-

Moreover, Lei Bo cannot go to Chenggao County, because the county town of Chenggao and the ferry ferry of the Luo River entering the Yellow River are both occupied by Guan Yu army. Lei Bo can only pass through the plains south of Chenggao, and then go directly to Hulao Pass in Xingyang.

Lei Bo was really depressed by being caught up in such an awkward position, but he had no choice but to order some troops to cut off the rear, and the rest of the troops would run away, trying to drag it until dark, and then run around in scattered ways, and count as much as he could.

Lei Bo was so cowardly that he had no intention of using his 10,000 or 20,000 troops to fight Guan Yu to the death. His troops were actually more powerful than Guan Yu's first troops to be put on the battlefield.

However, Guan Yu has repeatedly shocked China, and he is a little unnamed general who dares not fight against Guan Yu at all.

Especially on the battlefields in Yanshi and Gongxian, Lei Bo often recalls the results of Guan Yu coming here a year and a half ago.

At that time, on the field battlefield near Gong County, Guan Yu showed weakness and pulled the enemy, and finally caught off guard and killed Yan Liang. Later, he continued to show weakness and pulled the Yuan army to Yanshi, and defeated Jiang Yiqu.

Although Jiang Yiqiu was not killed directly in that battle, he died later. However, that battle also forced Jiang Yiqiu to jump into the river and jump into the Luo River after hearing the news that "Guan Yu was not injured, he was pretending to be injured", he jumped into the river and threw himself into the Luo River. If the cavalry around him had not rescued him, he would have almost drowned in the Luo River.

The second department of Gong County of Yanshi left so many famous reputations of Guan Yu. Lei Bo now met Guan Yu on the battlefield where Yan Liang was killed a year and a half ago, but he didn't even beat him, and his calves were trembling.

As the two armies approached, Guan Yu on the opposite side had seen Lei Bo's banner clearly, and there were not many people named Lei. After Guan Yu confirmed that the opposite side was not Chen Gong, Guo Yuan but Lei Bo, he shouted and rushed with thousands of cavalry first: "Lei Bo's dog thieves don't leave!"

Thunderbolt's 15,000 people poured into the ground, and directly collapsed the formation and fled all over the mountains and fields. They didn't wait for Guan Yu's troops to come to the back, and they scattered in advance two hundred steps apart.

"Why are these bandits who defect to Yuan Shu and then to Yuan Shao's miscellaneous army so bored? They don't let us kill them?" Guan Yu was also depressed. He was obviously strong and prepared to kill a big fight, but it turned out to be the same as hitting cotton with one punch.

Although this also reduced Guan Yu's troops' casualties to the extreme, because there was no tough battle to fight to the death, it was really unhappy.

After all, the results of the battle are much smaller. More than 10,000 people rushed into scattered troops and fled in 10,000 routes. Who should you chase? The pursuit party can't just divide the troops into 10,000 routes, right?

The defeated troops can not maintain their organization and formation, you have to maintain it.

Not to mention, although Lei Bo's running method has zero killing to Guan Yu's troops, it has really slowed down the speed of his own destruction.

Guan Yu chased after more than an hour and killed more than 4,000 enemies with almost zero casualties. Among them, more than 1,000 were killed by the back stabbing, and more than 2,000 prisoners were captured.

Guan Yu's side only died of three or four people and more than a dozen people were injured. However, he accidentally trampled on himself during the Mercedes-Benz process or was injured while robbing the merits.

According to the battle loss exchange ratio, a super beautiful exchange ratio of hundreds of times was played, but unfortunately, the number of enemies that was absolutely not very high.

After more than an hour, it was getting dark, so Guan Yu had to keep his formation and walk on guard, so that some troops would rest, and other troops would continue to chase and kill, and he would definitely have to station and sleep for a while at night.

Fortunately, the Lei Bo army on the opposite side could not not sleep - they marched at night the night before, and their physical strength would only be more exhausted than Guan Yu's army. So everyone sleeps, and they can't make much difference.

On October 15th, before dawn, Guan Yu's troops stood up again and chased downstream along the Luo River.

Lei Bo's troops had fled in all directions, all over the mountains and fields, but they could not catch up with them all quickly.

However, Guan Yu took into account both speed and coverage, and continued to chase Lei Bo to the vicinity of Xingyang step by step.

Anyway, Guan Yu was not in a hurry at all. He knew that even if he had to chase the enemy who insisted on following the Luo River Road in the middle, he could not ensure that he could catch up with the enemy soldiers with the most forced landings. It would be better to divide the troops and chase them in several ways.

Lei Bo's main force was chased by Guan Yu deliberately raising a ghost in front of Hulao Pass. Seeing that his life was expected, Lei Bo took advantage of the fact that he and Guan Yu's vanguard cavalry had been separated by more than ten miles away, and even distanced from Guan Yu's rear army for twenty or thirty miles. He leaned forward desperately to shout at the wall of the pass, asking the generals guarding the pass to open the door and let him go to the city to help the battle.

The generals guarding the pass refused to open the door at all, and hesitated that they were afraid that Guan Yu would take advantage of the chaos to kill Hulao Pass. Although Hulao Pass was originally facing Luoyang on the west side, the defense was not very tight. When this pass was built, it was mainly used to prevent the enemy in Guandong from invading Luoyang.

Thousands of Lei Bo's troops were blocked in chaos at the city, and they could not advance or retreat for a while. Guan Yu's troops then came to kill him, and the scene was terrible. Lei Bo had to jump over the wall and turn over again and fight with Guan Yu's army.

The troops under Lei Bo were all wearing Yuan Shaojun's uniforms and holding Yuan Shaojun's banner. They were cruelly abandoned by friendly forces and blocked them under the gate. How could they bear it? The soldiers of Lei Bojun who changed to the front row and the back row started to clamor for a while, and some even began to climb the walls and climbed onto the gentle slopes on both sides to try to get up to the gate.

The defenders on the wall saw that these people were friendly forces after all, and did not make hostile attacks, nor did they force themselves to open the city gate. They just climbed the wall with simple ladders or even simpler tools, so the defenders were not good at shooting arrows and slaughtering their own people.

After the first group of Lei Bo's soldiers climbed the wall and climbed to Hulao Pass, they performed well. They immediately turned around and fought side by side with the guards, and they shared the same hatred for the enemy, and the internal chaos of the guards became increasingly chaotic.

Some strict officers demanded that Lei Bo's soldiers were not allowed to climb the wall and escape, and all of them were shot back. However, some tolerant officers did not blame the public when they saw the law, so they turned a blind eye to the other side, essentially giving up.

There are also some Lei Bo's soldiers who climbed up the wall section and have obtained control of the defense zone, so it is even more impossible for them to immediately change their positions and strictly settle their comrades who have not climbed up yet.

On the Hulao Pass city wall, the defense zones of three attitudes are mixed and the scene is in chaos.

In this case, the fight under the wall has actually come to an end.

Although there were thousands of people in Lei Bo's army who were not killed or surrendered, as Lei Bo's personal soldiers' flag formation was killed, Guan Yu personally waved the Blue Dragon Sword and rushed over on his horse. Lei Bo's husband had no power to fight back and was killed instantly with one knife, and his head rolled into dust.

The personal soldiers beside Guan Yu shouted loudly and announced the death of Lei Bo. The soldiers next to him were forced to make arriving in a mess under the wall. Thousands of people chose to kneel down and surrender directly, some continued to climb the wall and escape, and some were immediately forced by Guan Yu to turn around as cannon fodder to attack Hulao Guanguan.

The Han army and the surrendered soldiers were mixed together. With the small number of flying ladders prepared by the army today, Guan Yu's troops launched a violent attack on Hulao Pass directly from the direction of not being very tightly defended on the west side.

The troops that had been guarding the pass before were still diligent and were still trying to kill arrows and stones. But the soldiers had no intention of fighting on the wall section where Lei Bo's soldiers took over, especially when Guan Yu drove the soldiers who were still comrades a few minutes ago to block the city as cannon fodder, and the inner hearts were even more disintegrating.

After just a quarter of an hour of bloody battle, several riots who were held in the wall defense area under the responsibility of Lei Bo, were broken through.

Guan Yu's army even arranged some people to change into Yuan Shao's uniforms before the war started today, but they tied a black cloth to their sleeves and pretended to be bandaged, just waiting for this kind of chaotic scene that might occur.

Even when the "Lei Bo surrendered soldiers" climbed up and fled to the wall, they were not completely covered with Lei Bo's soldiers. A very few were clever and delicate works under Guan Yu's command and got in.

After all, Lei Bo's soldiers fled so far last night. Today they gathered back to the gate. Lei Bo himself didn't know if all the soldiers were really his own people, so he had no time to identify them in such a hurry.

If you write a "number" of a friendly neighboring force and then mix it into a certain established unit, the officers of this established unit will not be able to identify it.
