When Chu Yan realized that he had fallen into Ju Shou's plan, he immediately showed his ferocious side. With a knife in his hand, he beheaded the Zhao Jun scout who was lying on the ground and was tied up.
"All the troops mount up, take off their disguises, and follow me to save our lord!" Chu Yan inserted the bloody steel knife into the scabbard and shouted loudly to the soldiers hiding in the village.
The sound spread quickly, and all the grass and trees inside and outside the village were opened. Five thousand fully armed cavalry appeared immediately. After they all mounted their horses, they followed Chu Yan and galloped towards Nanluan County.
The wolf smoke ignited in Nanluan County, and the billowing smoke rose into the sky. Lu Heng, who had been ambushing outside Nanluan County for a long time, saw the wolf smoke, and immediately felt a bloodthirsty impulse in his heart.
Yuan Shao's Zhao army was about to be defeated in a short while, and he looked very energetic.
"The whole army is obeying the order..." Lu Heng's voice was halfway through when he immediately heard the sound of rolling horse hooves coming from behind. He stopped abruptly and hurriedly looked back, only to see a boat approaching from the billowing smoke.
He was shocked when he saw the cavalry of the Zhao army, and immediately changed the subject, "The rear team will become the front team and fight the enemy!"
The soldiers under his command turned their horses one after another and saw Liu Bei rushing over at the lead, with 500 Zhao Jun's cavalry behind him.
The moment Lu Heng saw Liu Bei, he immediately became jealous. He galloped to the front of the formation and stopped when he saw Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was wearing a copper helmet, iron armor, and holding a double sword. When he saw Lu Heng, he shouted loudly: "You have been surrounded. Surrender quickly to avoid death!"
Lu Heng was a shrewd man. When he heard Liu Bei's words, he immediately understood. He was furious, raised his spear, and shouted: "Big-eared thief, don't be so arrogant. Let me, Lu Heng, take you."
Head!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Heng moved his spear forward and rushed out at the lead. With his five thousand soldiers, he quickly attacked Liu Bei who only had five hundred cavalry.
When Liu Bei saw Lu Heng coming to kill him, he turned around and ran away. As he ran, he shouted: "Lu Heng, Gao Fei is dead now. I see you are a talent, and I know you again."
It's been a long time, why don't you just abandon the darkness and follow me, I, Liu Xuande, will definitely treat you better than Gao Fei."
"Big-eared thief! What a bastard! I, Lu Heng, have been Yanhou's life since the day I followed Yanhou. You are an ungrateful thief who is cheating on you, and it's in vain that my Lord Marquis treats you so well.
But you have repeatedly gone against my Marquis. Today I will not take your head, and I, Lu Heng, swear that I will not be a human being!" Lu Heng cursed loudly while chasing Liu Bei.
Liu Bei sneered, stopped talking, and ran forward on horseback, allowing Lu Heng to pursue with five thousand cavalry behind him.
Lu Heng chased him for almost two miles, and saw that Liu Bei always kept a certain distance from him, neither letting him catch up nor letting him go. He was startled, and immediately stopped the cavalry behind him, and looked around at the vast area.
In the crop fields, golden wheat that has not yet been harvested is still growing in the fields. The breeze blows, and the layers of wheat stalks are surprisingly quiet.
"What's wrong, I fell into the big-eared thief's trick to lure the enemy!" Lu Heng reacted immediately and hurriedly shouted behind him, "Retreat quickly, retreat quickly, and return to Nanluan County to protect the lord."
"Where will the enemy general go!"
With a loud roar, thousands of archers emerged from the wheat fields on both sides of the road where Lu Heng was. A group of cavalry came from the northeast. Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and rushed in at the lead, while Zhang Fei held out a snake spear of eight feet from the northwest. Running over with a gloomy expression, the archers on both sides of the wheat field, led by Tian Yu and Mi Fang, began to shoot arrows at Lu Heng's headquarters in the middle of the road. The arrows were not aimed at people, but specifically aimed at the cavalry's horses.
Arrows flew in, and the unshielded war horses were hit by arrows one after another. They let out a series of long and mournful screams, and when they fell to the ground, they overturned the cavalry on their horses. Each of the Yan army's cavalry was crushed by the war horses. Living in the body, or rolling into the wheat field on the roadside.
The spearmen who had been prepared in the wheat field suddenly appeared, blocking the roadside with their long spears, and began to stab the cavalry in the middle of the road.
Liu Bei had already turned his horse's head, and hundreds of infantrymen led by Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, and Jian Yong emerged from his side, joining his five hundred cavalry.
"kill!"
Liu Bei's eyes were full of anger. This anger came from his heart. He was still worried about Gao Fei's refusal to send troops to rescue Xuzhou, which made him throw away the fat piece of Xuzhou that was about to get into his mouth. He stubbornly believed that It was Gao Fei who ruined his hope of becoming the overlord of one party and made this hope shattered.
Following Liu Bei's order, five hundred cavalrymen and infantrymen behind them rushed over. Everyone held spears in their hands. When approaching the Yan army soldiers, they used their spears to stab the horses or the legs of the cavalrymen. Specifically attacking the vulnerable parts of the Yan army's cavalry that are not covered with steel armor.
Suddenly, Lu Heng's troops suffered heavy casualties. He saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heading this way and wanted to block his retreat, so he hurriedly shouted: "Don't be reluctant to fight, the whole army retreats!"
The cavalry of the Yan Army were all proud of their hard steel armor, but what they didn't expect was that Liu Bei would actually come up with this method. The high-spirited soldiers quickly became depressed under the blow of Liu Bei's troops. Come down.
Lu Heng was still roaring hard and soon came to the back of the team. He ordered some cavalry to rush into the wheat fields in an attempt to reduce the threat of the enemy's arrowheads. However, the low-spirited soldiers weakened their combat effectiveness. The places where the enemy attacked were precisely the weaknesses of the cavalry, which directly caused the fear in the cavalry's heart.
The cavalry that rolled down became infantry. The usually well-trained cavalry was unable to fight due to leg injuries. They could only wave their swords to deflect arrows from both sides. But facing the dense attack, a Waves of arrows rained down, and many soldiers were hit by arrows in the face or neck. They lay on the ground and screamed, letting out the most miserable screams, and what was waiting for them was to be slaughtered at will by the enemy.
Most of the five thousand cavalry had been lost. Lu Heng took the lead and retreated back with the remaining two thousand cavalry. However, he encountered Guan Yu. The one thousand cavalry led by Zhang Fei blocked the way. Behind him, Liu Bei pointed at the soldiers and killed them. As they came over, Mi Fang and Tian Yu's troops also began to chase after him, trying to completely block Lu Heng here.
When Lu Heng saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei blocking the way, he was furious. Thinking about how Gao Fei had tried so hard to win over Liu, Guan and Zhang, but now that things had happened, he had nothing to say. The only thing he could do was The only thing to do is to fight out, go straight to Nanluan County where Gao Fei is, and gather the army to break out.
"Lu Heng, I respect you as a man and have known our brothers for a long time. With your skills, you can't be compared with me. It's better to surrender early and submit to my elder brother. Jushou has set up a plan of ambush from all sides.
, The purpose is to put Gao Fei to death. Now 130,000 troops are surrounding this place. Gao Fei will definitely die. Why do you bother to die with Gao Fei?" Guan Yu crossed the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and rode out.
Ku persuaded.
"Bah! You ungrateful villain, it is in vain that my Marquis tried his best to promote you, but this is how you repay him?" Lu Heng said angrily, "Lu Heng's life belongs to the Marquis, even if he dies, he will still have to do it.
Have a go.”
Guan Yu's red eyes slowly opened, and he frowned when he saw that Lu Heng was looking upright. He thought of all the things he, Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei did to the three of them when Gao Fei, the three brothers, defected to the army. He suddenly spurred his horse to the side.
, said to the cavalry behind him: "Make a way and let General Lu pass!"
Zhang Fei didn't say anything, and immediately stepped aside with his subordinates, feeling a little ashamed in his heart.
When Lu Heng saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei wanted to let him go, he chose to lead his troops out without hesitation and shouted: "Guan Yunchang, don't think that I will be grateful to you. You owe our Lord Marquis for the rest of your life."
I still don’t know!”
With a loud shout of "drive", Lu Heng and the remaining two thousand cavalry roared past on a road that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had given way to.
Liu Bei followed behind and saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei letting Lu Heng go. With an angry look on his face, he shouted loudly: "What a good thing you have done! Lu Heng is one of Gao Fei's generals. You let him go."
, it will be very detrimental to us in the future, you two really make me mad!"
Guan Yu said: "Brother, Gao Fei, Lu Heng and we all have an unusual relationship. The former Gao Fei released his third brother, and this time I let Lu Heng go, which can be regarded as repaying some of Gao Fei's kindness. I always show my loyalty
For the first time, what we are doing now is for a 'righteousness'
What's more, Yuan Shao and Ju Shou had already made a plan. They only asked us to drive the Yan army into the encirclement and did not order a fight. Our army has now killed about 3,000 Gao Fei and has avenged the last time. Brother, if you punish me
If so, just punish me, Guan has no complaints."
Liu Bei has always flaunted benevolence and righteousness, but benevolence and righteousness are also based on a certain basis. He was still very angry at Guan Yu for letting Lu Heng go without authorization. As time goes by, the three brothers have been getting along day and night since they became sworn brothers, knowing each other's heart.
But there were a lot of stumblings, and the bright personalities directly led to the three brothers' opinions on some things.
"Forget it! Our kindness has been repaid to Gao Fei. Next time we meet the generals of the Yan army, we must not show mercy! Now let's go and follow the original plan and start to blockade this place. Sun Qian, you follow Yunchang
Let's go, Jian Yong, follow Yide and follow me. Don't let anyone in the Yan army go, otherwise you won't be able to explain to Yuan Shao!" Liu Bei said loudly.
"No!" everyone said in unison.
The smoke suddenly rose, alarming all directions, and huge changes occurred in the entire plain in the eastern part of Juluze. The entire plain was full of soldiers, and the Yan and Zhao armies were running back and forth...
