Chapter 55: Guan Yu is here, you will die.
Guan Yu led his troops out of the city and walked slowly. When he saw the thieves walking slowly, he was even more sure that Guan Hai had set up an ambush waiting for him.
After about three miles, the scout reported back that two miles ahead, there was indeed a group of thieves hiding behind a low hill on the right side of the road, numbering about one to two thousand people.
It was also at this time that Guan Yu saw the people sent by Liu Bei to deliver the news. He knew that his eldest brother had built a fort and set up camp, which gave him some peace of mind. He also learned that Guan Hai was leading most of the thieves towards his eldest brother Liu Bei, so he determined who was ambushing him.
There are not too many thieves.
"Marquis Wang, you lead five hundred men to continue the pursuit. Don't chase too fast. Stop after chasing two miles. Your responsibility is to block the thieves in front and prevent them from turning back to fight. Do you understand?
”
Guan Yu gave instructions to a military commander.
"No, Guan Sima, what about you?" Wang Junhou didn't quite understand Guan Yu's intention.
"I will take five hundred people to take a detour to eliminate the thieves hiding behind the mountain. No matter what, you must block the thieves in front, otherwise you will not be spared!"
Guan Yu wanted Wang Junhou to lead 500 men to block the thieves who were luring the enemy, so as to prevent them and the thieves hiding behind the mountain from attacking him from both sides.
"Nuo." Wang Junhou knew that Guan Yu had always enforced strict laws, and the burden on his shoulders was heavy, so he must go all out.
Wang Junhou led 500 soldiers to continue chasing the enemy slowly, while Guan Yu led 500 soldiers to leave the road and go directly behind the ambushed thieves.
The Yellow Turbans who were responsible for luring the enemy still walked as slowly as the pursuing soldiers, always maintaining a distance of two to three hundred steps. However, they did not realize that the pursuing soldiers had been reduced by half.
The Yellow Turbans who were ambushing behind the low mountain had long heard that Guan Yu was leading his troops out of the city and were pursuing them.
When they heard the news that Guan Yu had fallen into the trap, they were overjoyed, but then someone came to report that it was Guan Yu who was leading the troops slowly and chasing him, not in a hurry. This made them anxious, and they wished that Guan Yu would catch up quickly.
, so that you can fight out from behind.
"Chief Hu, the county soldiers are chasing us. Let's get ready to attack."
The people who were scouting in front saw that the soldiers led by Wang Junhou were almost chasing the ambush, so they hurried back to report, waiting for them to pass before they could rush out and kill them from behind.
The leader surnamed Hu was holding a knife in his hand, with a full beard and a somewhat fat figure. He was half squatting. At this time, he turned around and told the people behind him: "Everyone, get ready. As soon as the red-faced general passes by, we will rush out."
,Kill them without leaving a single piece behind."
"Red... red-faced general!!!"
Someone behind saw Guan Yu who suddenly appeared behind him, and trembled in shock and said.
"Yes, it's the red-faced general, but don't be afraid. The most powerful one among Liu Bei's troops is the black-faced thief. This red-faced one is not that scary. Let's rush up and chop him off and chop off his head. He will be handsome then.
There must be a big reward, maybe we can get a few cows!"
"No, Chief Hu, the red-faced general is here!"
With an urgent shout, Leader Hu and everyone turned around to look.
Just don’t look at it. This look almost shocked their souls.
They saw Guan Yu, wearing armor, red face and green robe, sitting astride a horse, holding a long sword and glaring angrily, appearing in front of them.
Behind Guan Yu, hundreds of soldiers followed closely, rushing towards them.
"Guan Yu is here, you will die!"
Guan Yu roared angrily, clapped his horse and rushed forward. He ran into the crowd of thieves and slashed with his sword. In the blink of an eye, he cut down more than a dozen people.
The soldiers he brought rushed forward, hacking and slashing like wolves among sheep.
Before Leader Hu could understand what was going on, he saw dozens of his men dead.
"Hurry up and report to the Hong leader that we have been attacked. Let them come back for rescue as soon as possible."
Leader Hu ordered a tribe next to him to rush to report the news.
Guan Yu rushed to the front, and was now surrounded by the Yellow Turban thieves. The long knife in his hand danced like a dragon, slashing left and right. In an instant, a large number of corpses were lying next to his horse.
Those yellow scarves retreated one after another, not daring to get too close.
Guan Yu's long beard fluttered in the wind, and his shirt behind him was blown by the wind. The long sword in his hand also danced like a tiger roaring and a dragon roaring. Anyone who touches it will die, and anyone who touches it will die.
Leader Hu was about to go up to fight Guan Yu, but when he saw them, he felt terrified in his heart, knowing that he was no match for him. He also saw that the soldiers brought by Guan Yu were very brave, and he could not defeat them at all.
Seeing those brothers fall one by one, Leader Hu was angry and frightened. He hesitated for a moment, knowing that if he didn't run away, all of them would be ruined.
"This red-faced general is more powerful than the black-faced general, everyone, run away!"
Leader Hu really thinks that the red-faced general Guan Yu is more powerful than the black-faced general Zhang Fei.
The black-faced general always roars and screams when fighting, and with his fierce face, he is intimidating.
However, this red-faced general fought silently, but he could cut down one person with each sword, and he could even cut down several people with just one swing of his sword.
His face, which was red from suppressed redness or blood, made people feel even more frightened when they saw it, as if he was a god of death who only wanted to take human life.
In fact, even if Leader Hu didn't shout, these Yellow Turbans would not dare to fight anymore and would flee in all directions.
Guan Yu rushed to rescue his elder brother Liu Bei and showed no mercy. Eighty if not hundreds of the Yellow Turbans died under his sword.
He heard the shouting, followed the sound, and saw Leader Hu who was running away. He could tell by the way he was dressed that he was a Yellow Turban leader.
Without any hesitation, Guan Yu chased after him, swung his sword to cut down more than a dozen people in front of him, and caught up behind Hu Tou Ling.
Leader Hu felt that someone was chasing him behind him. He couldn't help but look back, and saw Guan Yu, a red-faced and bearded man riding a horse, behind him, with a long knife in his hand slashing towards him.
Leader Hu was so frightened that he could no longer run away, so he could only watch as the long knife fell down.
With a "pop" sound, Guan Yu chopped off Tou Ling Hu's fat head with a knife.
When the other Yellow Turbans saw it, they were so frightened that they ran wildly, fearing that if they ran slower, they would be separated from their heads like Leader Hu.
Guan Yu led five hundred soldiers in pursuit, and did not stop until the yellow scarf thieves who had the chance to escape ran far away.
Looking at the hundreds of corpses lying on the ground, Guan Yu stroked his beard and snorted: "You came to die on your own, don't blame Guan!"
"Let's go back to the main road."
Guan Yu didn't care about the fleeing thieves or the corpses, and led the soldiers to the main road.
On the main road, Wang Junhou led five hundred soldiers to continue chasing the thieves slowly. After chasing for two miles, they stopped at the ambush and lined up to wait.
The task Guan Yu gave him was to resist these thieves, which was to defend rather than attack, so he formed a defensive formation and waited for the opponent to attack.
The leader of the Yellow Turbans, surnamed Hong, watched them chasing after him and passed the ambush. He was secretly happy, thinking that the other party had fallen into a trap, but now he saw them stop at the ambush.
Although the ambushing troops were still hundreds of steps away from the main road, why did they stop here?
Could it be that the ambush was discovered?
Leader Hong became suspicious and ordered his troops to stop, more than 200 steps away from Wang Junhou's soldiers.
"Leader Hong, why did they stop?" the person next to him asked.
Leader Hong looked at the military formation in the distance. The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became. He looked carefully and found that the red-faced general could not be seen, and the number of these soldiers seemed to be much smaller.
"No, our people may have been discovered!" Leader Hong exclaimed.
"Quick, let's go back."
Leader Hong thought that Guan Yu might be leading his troops to attack the ambushes hiding behind the mountain, so he quickly led his thousands of men back to rescue the brothers who were ambushing them behind the mountain.
Wang Junhou watched the thieves running back and gave a stern order: "Stand still, hold on, never let a thief pass by!"
