The sun was shining brightly, and there was not a breath of wind between heaven and earth.
On the long road leading to Yangzhai, a roll of red galloped from the horizon. The burly and majestic Guan Yu was carried on the back of the fiery red horse. The ups and downs of his body formed a pattern with the fiery red horse.
Unanimous, as if they were one body. The red roll had just galloped past, and behind it was a group of black cavalry. The momentum was like ten thousand horses galloping.
Guan Yu took the lead, and when he saw that there was a narrow road ahead and the ground was in a mess, he became more thoughtful.
On the quiet road, the long neigh of a horse echoed throughout the empty wilderness.
Guan Yu reined in his horse and drove it to the roadside. On one side of the road was a small river with a wooden bridge across the river. The wooden bridge was so narrow that it would be difficult to accommodate even a horse. And the wooden bridge was
There were some clothes scattered on and around it, and she knew very well that those clothes were those of the Yan army. Not only that, there were also a few shields and halberds scattered on the ground, as if they were fleeing in panic.
Guan Yu turned his head and looked at the road that was going straight. It was covered with weeds, which spread far and wide, and the road ahead was winding. He looked at the left side of the road again, and saw the tall weeds growing in the wasteland.
However, they have all been cut off and used to pave the winding road, and sporadic weeds stretch to an abandoned village not far ahead.
When he saw the village, his eyes lit up.
Wisps of thick black smoke were rising in the village, rising into the sky from the middle of the village.
"The Yan army has an ambush!" Guan Yu came to a conclusion in his mind after carefully looking at everything around him.
He looked around again and saw a wooden sign standing on the edge of the woods with a few words written on it. Curious, he rode over and saw the words "There is an ambush here" written on it.
.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves gradually approached, and three horses lined up in a long queue. The knights on the horses also looked a little tired. Because of the high temperature, the armors they wore had been burned by the scorching sun.
She felt hot, and the sweat on her body even soaked her clothes and clung to her body.
Guan Yu was no exception. There were some beads of sweat on his forehead, which flowed down his red cheeks to his chin, and then gathered into droplets of sweat the size of soybeans, dripping down from his chin along his beard.
It fell into the dirt on the road, was instantly absorbed by the cracked soil, and disappeared without a trace.
He wore a steel helmet on his head and a chain corset on his body. The armor was not as heavy as the cavalry behind him, but looked so light and close to the body that you could even see the rise and fall of his chest while breathing.
Be clear and careful.
He rarely wears armor, especially in summer, as wearing a thick layer of armor would make people uncomfortable. He doesn't wear armor because he is confident that no enemy can reach him alive.
He stretched out one of his arms, wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve, and rode towards the deserted field. While looking at the surrounding environment, he was thinking about why Yan Jun showed so many clues.
.
"The enemy must have heard that the general was coming with his troops in person. He was afraid of the general's reputation and ran away from the direction of the single-plank bridge. Let's chase after him quickly!" As a general under Guan Yu, the current cavalry captain glanced at the scattered people.
clothes, shields, and weapons, and shouted out loudly.
Guan Yu glanced at me and shouted: "What do you know? Soldiers never tire of deceit. This is what the enemy uses to confuse us."
"The general is right. The enemy must have gone back to Yangzhai along this road. They are trying to make a fool of themselves here to prevent us from getting close to Yangzhai, so as to buy more time to deploy our defenses! General, we can follow this road.
We have been fighting all the way to Yangzhai City, so there is nothing wrong with pursuing him now!" Pei Qian, who was also a general under Guan Yu, said hurriedly.
Guan Yu sneered and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Shut up. I won't treat you as dumb. The enemy is not as simple as you think. They deliberately paved a road to confuse us. This
If there is smoke coming out of the abandoned village, they must have just rested here. Seeing us coming, they ran away in panic and put out the fire in a hurry. Follow me! They must have gone in this direction!"
Following Guan Yu's order, the cavalry behind him followed Guan Yu towards the village.
Guan Yu took the lead and rushed to the entrance of the village. He saw a halberd stuck on the ground at the entrance of the village. A water bag was tied to the halberd. A circle was drawn on the ground, and the four characters "beware of ambush" were written in the circle.
The three cavalry captains also came to Guan Yu's side. When they saw those four words, they also looked at the rugged, narrow and crowded road into the village. They couldn't help but feel a little worried, so they said together: "General, really
Do you want to enter the village?"
Guan Yu nodded, raised his head and looked at the road into the village. The collapsed houses covered the entire road, making the already narrow village very congested.
He chuckled and said: "This is the cleverness of the enemy. Telling us to be careful about ambushes is actually intimidating us and making us afraid to enter the village..."
Pei Qian glanced at the abandoned village and the woods behind the team, and said, "But General, what should we do if this is a trap..."
"Even if there is an ambush, what can I do with my skills?"
"General, you are a man of great wealth. You should not take risks easily. My subordinates are willing to lead hundreds of people to explore the route first. If there is an ambush, it will not be too late for the general to lead troops in from outside." ** said.
Guan Yu waved his hand and said: "It's a joke, a certain is a vanguard general, you go in my place, what does that mean?"
**I was at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer, so I stopped saying anything.
As soon as Guan Yu finished speaking, he galloped out and shouted: "Kill!"
In the abandoned village, Gao Fei saw Guan Yu riding the red horse towards the village. He was overjoyed and secretly shouted: "Great, you came just in time."
When Gao Fei thought of this, he put his mouth to the ear of Wei Yan who was standing next to him, and then said a few words softly. After Wei Yan listened, an expression of joy suddenly appeared on his face, and he nodded heavily.
He nodded and slowly moved away from Gao Fei.
Gao Fei saw Guan Yu from afar. Firstly, his horse was too eye-catching, and secondly, Guan Yu was too eye-catching.
After entering the village, Guan Yu walked carefully while looking around. What he saw was a very desolate village, with some bones exposed under some loess. He sighed heavily and said slowly: "I didn't know that this was the case.
How long will the war last..."
While he was thinking about it, Wei Yan suddenly rushed out from the roadside. When he saw Guan Yu, he looked surprised. Then he held the halberd in his hand and ran towards the depths of the village.
Guan Yu smiled slightly, and when he saw Wei Yan running away, he shouted: "Where are you running?"
Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword tightly in his hand, then pinched the horse's belly with his legs, shouted and ran towards Wei Yan quickly.
Wei Yan ran and shouted loudly: "Guan Yu is coming, Guan Yu is coming!"
Following Wei Yan's shouts, a few soldiers emerged from the abandoned houses. They were all wrapped in bandages. As soon as they saw Guan Yu, they jumped up and ran towards the village. As soon as Guan Yu saw this scene, the original
Worried that they were gone, he shouted loudly and galloped out, chasing Wei Yan and others closely.
Pei Qiangang led his men to the entrance of the village and saw Guan Yu galloping out. While beckoning the cavalry behind him to follow him quickly, he shouted loudly: "General! Don't go deep!"
When Guan Yu saw these remnants of Yan's army, he knew it best. In addition, he believed that his own strength was superior, so he didn't care so much, so he directly pursued them.
Pei Qian walked forward and shouted: "Oops! The general entered too fast. If there is an ambush, it will be troublesome."
At this time, a large number of Chu cavalry had already poured in. Gao Fei made good arrangements for this successful ambush.
Guan Yu was chasing Wei Yan forward, but he saw Wei Yan disappear in a flash. It was so strange.
Pei Qian had already rushed in with his troops. He came to Guan Yu's side and shouted loudly: "General, this place is full of murderous intent. There must be an ambush ahead. Let's go back!"
"You bastard, I am preparing to create a miraculous feat, but you ask me to withdraw my troops? What can these wounded soldiers left behind by the Yan army do to me!" Guan Yu cursed loudly.
As soon as Guan Yu's voice fell, Wei Yan suddenly appeared on the way to the village, running and shouting: "Guan Yu is here, everyone, run quickly, Guan Yu is here, everyone, run quickly..."
Guan Yu was worried that he could not find anyone. When he saw Wei Yan coming out, he took out a bow and shot out the bow that had been fully drawn.
With the sound of the string, the long arrow flew towards Wei Yan. Wei Yan was already prepared, and disappeared again in a flash. The arrow also passed him by, but did not hurt him.
"Chase! Chase me quickly!" When Guan Yu saw that the arrow missed Wei Yan, he rode out and shouted loudly at the same time.
Guan Yu rode the red horse under his seat and jumped forward. The horse galloped forward a few times and then jumped far away. Where the horse jumped, Guan Yu suddenly saw a white line on the ground. He did not
After paying attention, he saw a dozen wounded soldiers pouring out from the well in the center, so he hurriedly rode towards the well in front.
The cavalry who followed Guan Yu were not as lucky as Guan Yu. When they passed the white line, all the horses suddenly stepped on the air, their bodies fell, and they fell into a big pit. There were still things stuck in the pit.
The sharp wooden stakes, the cavalry and horses of the Yan army were killed immediately as soon as they fell.
The cavalry following them failed to stop in time and fell partially into the pit. In just one moment, nearly a hundred of the Chu cavalry were killed.
As soon as Guan Yu's horse ran to the well, he heard the sound of people behind him flipping over. When he turned around, he saw a tragic scene and felt uncomfortable in his heart.
