"That's only four days!" Shi He said at a glance: "June, how subtle the things on the battlefield are, how can there be a reason to calculate the timeliness? Besides, the battle will only become more and more difficult. Do you rely on June to take action in person every time? This is really... too risky!"

Speaking of this, Shi He couldn't help but turn around and look at the whole team of crossbowmen below the camp.

Just now, Shi He led these crossbowmen to cover Guan Yu and followed him to the brigade and repelled the Cao army, who was ready to move in the distance. The Jingzhou army had a lot of crossbows, including powerful crossbows with a range far exceeding those of bows and arrows, and also a series of crossbows that often splashed arrows. Because of this advantage, he barely suppressed the crossbows of Cao's army. Otherwise, even if Guan Yu's personal courage was ten times stronger, he would not be able to escape the dense shooting of arrows.

Even so, Guan Yu was still shot.

This arrow deep into the arms is enough to make ordinary soldiers lose their combat effectiveness. Guan Yu crossed the battlefield with such injuries and forced his army to retreat, which shows his physique and tough will. However, he is a human being after all, and it is impossible for him to be invulnerable to swords and guns. Such a rush can be feasible once, twice or three times?

After two or three times, Cao's army must make targeted arrangements!

Guan Yu is the arm of the King of Hanzhong and the soul of the Jingzhou Army. If he had any chance on the battlefield, how shocking would it be? Who can bear this huge responsibility? For example, Shi He and others could not afford it even if they died a hundred times!

What's more, just under Shi He's nose, you can see several crossbowmen silently dismantling the crossbow machine, occasionally cursing. No matter how perfect the maintenance is on weekdays, the more powerful and precise weapons are, the more likely they are to be damaged. After several days of hard fighting, only half of the powerful crossbows left in Shi He's troops, and only 40% of the continuous crossbows left. The number of special crossbow arrows is pitiful. If the fleet that transports supplies at night arrives later, Shi He will jump and curse.

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the battle will surely become more and more intense and more difficult.

But Shi He had no idea why he had to fight this game.

At that time, the Jingzhou army raised an army north to respond to Cao Cao's intention to usurp the throne and show the political attitude of the Hanzhong king to the world. In a blink of an eye, the two armies fought fiercely for these days. The Cao army lost Xiangyang, suffered huge losses, and the Jingzhou army was exhausted. The Jiaozhou army was forced to break into pieces and could only provide some assistance east of the Qingshui River.

Under such a situation, even if Cao Cao had the intention to ascend the throne and ascend to the throne, his face had been swollen by Guan Yu. The attitude of the King of Hanzhong and the traitors was fully demonstrated.

Isn't this enough?

In fact, since the capture of Xiangyang, the soldiers of the Jingzhou army have been satisfied. The promotion and reward after such a great victory is enough to promote hundreds of new lieutenants, Sima, Tunchang, and Du Bo in the Jingzhou army, and allocate hundreds of hectares of land. All the generals must have great rewards, and everyone will be promoted and made a fortune.

But Guan Yu rushed to Deng Sai in one breath, as if he wanted to continue the entire battle. The tactic he chose was to face the endless army of Cao's army with a small number of troops!

In the past few days, all the four generals Shi He, Wu Dang, Zeng Xia and Shi Ren who came north with Guan Yu had suffered heavy casualties. Wu Dang himself was killed in battle, Zeng Xia broke his arm, and his subordinates completely lost their combat effectiveness. In the future, Shi He and Shi Ren must bear more heavy tasks.

The soldiers at the grassroots level couldn't think too much, and they had orders from the top, so they would continue to work hard. But a general like Shi He and Shi Ren would inevitably think about why. The more they thought about it, the less they didn't understand it, so the more they fought, the more they felt tired and unwilling to accept it.

Shi He turned back from outside and plucked up his courage and said earnestly: "June, we have won Xiangyang, and the battle has been won! If you want me, why should we..."

Guan Yu stood up and glanced at Shi He casually, but it seemed as if a huge pressure was crushing down.

Shi He immediately kept silent.

Guan Yu pondered for a while and finally said, "When we switched to Hebei and Central Plains, we fought no less than ten more dangerous wars. What's more to say this time? I have my own reasons for doing this... You retreat! Have a good rest and prepare for subsequent wars!"

In the end, Shi He did not dare to argue with Guan Yu. He lowered his head, bowed and bowed, and left the hall.

After walking down the mountain trail for half a circle, I was about to run into Shiren walking anxiously, circled back and forth.

Shi Ren, a native of Guangyang County, Youzhou, was generally a Yuan Cong of Youzhou with Shi He. Because of his bravery in combat, he achieved 2,000 stones very early, and all the clans were treated preferentially. However, he and Guan Yu were not close, so he waited outside and asked Shi He to persuade him.

At this moment, Shi He came out and Shi Ren hurriedly approached: "What do you mean?"

Shi He shook his head: "June said, he has his own reason."

Shi Ren was stunned. After a moment, he grabbed the hilt of the knife around his waist and gritted his teeth and said, "Then we can only fight to the death."

An old saying goes: "If the opportunity is not secret, the consequences will be achieved." After all, these two generals are not in their status, so Guan Yu cannot reveal to them the most critical plan of this battle. It is indeed his reason for Guan Yu to take action as the commander of the army.

On the night Guan Yu went to war, the news was rushing to the rear.

Although Cao Cao led his army south at this time, his headquarters was still stationed in Anzhonggang south of Xinye. This place was where the turbulent water and the purified water merged, and it was named because the turbulent water flowed through Anzhong ancient city west of Xinye City. In the early years, the King of Wei fought with Zhang Xiu and said to Xun Yu: "The enemy brought me back to the army and fought with me to death." The so-called death place is the place where the area from Anzhong's ancient city to Anzhonggang was difficult to resist.

Cao Cao's military ship was moored in Anzhong Port, and he set up a large tent on a plateau outside the port.

In the past few days, the ship was marching on the boat, and it was inevitable that it would be bumpy and unwell, which made Cao Cao uncomfortable, so he had to leave the boat and find a dry ground to rest early. But after the evening, he lay on the couch and tossed and turned for a long time, but he couldn't sleep, so he simply put on his clothes and stood up, sat in a slant to rest.

In a daze, he thought of his experience when he was young, the spectacular scene of Luoyang City when it was in its prime, and several times he thought of the terrible scene of his own leading troops to fight and going through life and death. He thought of many of them, but he couldn't remember them clearly. After all, he was old and his brain and energy were not as good as before.

Just now, it was dark and the camp gradually became quiet. Only the footsteps of teams of soldiers patroled approaching step by step like drums, and slowly disappeared.

Cao Cao was about to fall asleep, but his body suddenly slid down from the fence. He exclaimed in a low voice, suddenly woke up, and found that half of his body was hanging outside the couch. I don’t know if he was shocked, but he suddenly felt a severe pain suddenly burst out from his head. He raised his hands and pressed his forehead, and repeatedly used force. The pain seemed to be suppressed, but cold sweat flowed all over his body.

A low call came from outside the tent, which was Liu Ye's voice: "King of Wei! King of Wei!"

"What's the matter?" Cao Cao asked irritably.

"The military newspaper in front, Guan Yu is still in Dengsai, and he went out to fight himself today to repel our attack!"

"Seriously? Take it seriously?" Cao Cao sat up suddenly: "Our army is several times more troops, surrounded by three sides, but he still defends and does not retreat?"

“It’s true.”

Cao Cao suddenly opened the tent and made great strides.

"Yun Changsu is proud of himself as a heroic martial arts. It seems that this capture of Xiangyang has made him even more arrogant! Hehe, he has a great courage and an amazing appetite, but he never thought about whether his own strength can continue to support him! This is the opportunity for our army!"

"The King of Wei wants to..."

"Guan Yu is a famous general, and he is very powerful." At some point, a gap appeared in the thick clouds in the sky. The pale moonlight fell on Cao Cao's face, illuminating his excited expression: "Immediately, order all departments to prepare for preparations, and the camp will be launched in the fourth update and continue to go east. I should personally lift the iron cavalry and go to capture this person to reverse the situation!"

Liu Ye responded respectfully, but did not retreat.

"What, there is something else?"

The march cannot be done immediately with a command. How many troops are demarcated, how to cover each other along the way, how to follow up on the army's food, grass and materials, and how to set up camps wherever they go, and how to unfold their preparations to the enemy are all arranged by the marching commander.

Liu Ye is an extremely capable official, so he naturally would not trouble Cao Cao with trivial matters. He only said: "The water level around Zhencheng and Dengcheng has not yet retreated, so it is difficult for the king's heroic troops to be stationed for a while. In addition, it is not convenient for the riding team to drive. Are we..."

Cao Cao waved impatiently: "As we discussed yesterday, we marched from the east bank of the Qingshui River, approached near Lumen Mountain, and met with Cao Xiu's troops. As for my base camp..."

After all, Guan Yu was an invincible tiger general on the battlefield. Cao Cao felt that there was no need for his own camp to get too close to the front, so as not to be ridden by Guan Yu.
