Outside Tongguan, when Zhu Jun led his troops and horses towards Tongguan, Liu Bei led his troops and horses, looking at Tongguan with a solemn expression, without saying a word.
"Brother, it's our turn to take action with our troops."
Guan Yu, who was on the side, saw that the troops and horses led by Zhu Jun were basically on the move, so he said this to Liu Bei.
When Liu Bei heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "Don't be anxious now. We'll talk later."
When Guan Yu heard what Liu Bei said, he glanced at his elder brother and then at Tongguan in the night. He didn't say anything, but just nodded.
They were just here, waiting for a while, and something happened.
Above Tongguan, suddenly a large number of stones were thrown downwards, followed by screams and a lot of shouts.
Seeing such a scene, everyone present didn't know that Zhu Jun had fallen into the trap?
I couldn't help but feel frightened in my heart, and at the same time, my heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
If something like this happens suddenly, then Zhu Jun is afraid...
Tongguan is like no other place. The gate is blocked and it is really difficult to attack from outside!
"Damn it!!"
After Liu Bei saw such a scene, he couldn't help but cursed bitterly.
"Brother, what should we do now?"
Guan Yu held the big sword and looked at Liu Bei with narrowed red eyes and asked.
Liu Bei said: "The situation is urgent, things have changed, and the morale of the army has been greatly disturbed. Second brother, please take our troops and retreat quickly!"
The battle here is no longer winnable and must be defeated!
If the opponent has such an arrangement, he must have a back-up plan. I'm afraid that after the trapped Duke Zhu is dealt with, the army inside will come out soon!
The army has been defeated like a mountain. When the time comes, we here will not be able to resist at all, so it is better to quickly retreat with our troops and horses.
This way, we can preserve as much of our strength as possible and avoid being too miserable."
Guan Yu nodded and said, "Brother, what are you doing?"
Liu Bei said: "I'm going to see if there is any chance to open the gate of Tongguan. If it can be opened, maybe I can save Duke Zhu's life."
Guan Yu became anxious when he heard this: "Brother, I will do this, and you can retreat with your troops."
Liu Bei shook his head: "This is an order! Second brother, you retreat with your troops and horses, and I will do this!"
After saying this, he greeted the hundreds of people around him and headed towards Tongguan.
Under this situation, Liu Bei was basically certain that it was impossible to open the closed door of Tongguan.
But he was still unwilling.
More importantly, I feel that leaving like this is a bit sorry for Zhu Jun and not worthy of his usual personality...
At this time, no matter whether it can be saved or not, you must take practical actions and show the attitude you should have for others to see.
My second brother is too loyal and not tactful enough.
When he came to save people, he was acting according to the situation. When he came to save people, he would definitely lead others to forcefully close the Tongguan Pass. This was not a wise thing to do.
Therefore, it is better to bring someone to do this yourself.
It can guarantee that nothing will go wrong.
But at this time, due to this sudden change, the soldiers and horses outside were already in chaos, and many began to run back.
Liu Bei led his troops and horses and shouted: "Pingyuan Liu Bei is here! Come with me to save Duke Zhu!"
Then rush towards Tongguan Gate.
As a result, before they even got there, they were beaten back by the rain of arrows, rolling logs and rocks from Tongguan.
Liu Bei charged twice and after leaving some corpses behind, he began to retreat helplessly.
Although it was chaotic at this time, his behavior still caught the attention of many soldiers and horses Zhu Jun left outside.
As a result, the way they looked at Liu Bei became very different.
"Pingyuan Liu Bei and Liu Xuande are here. Don't mess around and gather around me quickly!"
After Liu Bei charged twice, he no longer led his troops to attack Tongguan.
Start to back away.
While retreating, he also shouted loudly to collect the chaotic soldiers and horses that Zhu Jun had left outside.
While closing in, retreating at the same time.
Liu Bei is a person who is very good at using his own advantages, seizing opportunities, and managing his reputation.
In this regard, Zhu Jun is far inferior to him.
During the long period of time when he accompanied Zhu Jun to attack Tongguan here, he had gained quite a reputation here, and many generals and soldiers knew Liu Bei's name.
In addition, Zhu Jun had already fallen into Tongguan at this time, and they were in a situation where a group of dragons had no leader and six gods had no master.
Moreover, Liu Bei's retrograde attempt to attack Tongguan and rescue Zhu Jun just now also fell into the eyes of many people.
Under such circumstances, the Zhu Jun troops nearby gathered towards Liu Bei and retreated with him...
At this time, some flaws in Tongguan Pass became apparent.
If it is a city, set up a barbican in the front. After trapping the enemy, you can immediately arrange troops and horses to fight out from the city gates in other directions, and take advantage of the chaos to rush and kill the troops outside the city.
But at a pass like Tongguan, there is only one direction to get to the outside of the pass. In this case, if you want to come out to attack the chaotic soldiers and horses outside, you must solve the enemies trapped in the Wengcheng...
Even though Xu Huang and others were already dealing with the soldiers and horses in Wengcheng at super fast speed, it still took a lot of time.
After they finished handling this and rushed out with their troops, Liu Bei and others' troops outside had already retreated a long way away.
However, they immediately led their soldiers and horses to pursue them non-stop.
Here in Tongguan, from top to bottom, there is a fire.
Zhu Jun was stuck in Tongguan for nearly half a year.
During this period of time, the emperor's uncle had already dealt with all the Huns in Xiliang, and then quickly dealt with the Huns in the north.
And here they are, backed by the natural danger of Tongguan, but they have never been able to deal with Zhu Jun. How can people tolerate this?
At this time, I finally got the chance. How could I not defeat Zhu Jun in one fell swoop and completely disperse him?
So everyone chased after them one by one with their horses and whips raised.
They crossed the camp of Zhu Jun and others, and sent some people to take over the camp of Zhu Jun, Liu Bei and others, and took away the food, grass and weapons that they had no time to take away.
Most of the remaining people, with their troops and horses, moved forward to pursue them.
Hua Xiong held the knife in his hand and rushed to the front.
When you catch up with the thief, chop him down with a knife.
I feel very happy.
Hua Xiong felt that he was among the first group of people to follow the emperor's uncle, and he was an old man under the emperor's uncle. He had been working under the emperor's uncle longer than Xu Huang.
Naturally, we can't embarrass the emperor's uncle.
Especially now, there are also soldiers and horses here who are not under the emperor's uncle, such as Li Jue.
Then it’s even more important not to embarrass the emperor’s uncle!
Although Liu Bei and others saw the opportunity early, they left Tongguan as early as possible.
But the situation was urgent, the troops and horses were numerous and chaotic, and it was impossible to go very far quickly.
After a chase, a fight broke out.
Of course, this kind of battle is a one-sided battle.
The overall quality of the soldiers and horses led by Zhu Jun, Liu Bei and others, as well as some soldiers and horses from Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other places, was not as good as the soldiers and horses here at Tongguan.
At this time, there was a huge difference in the momentum and other aspects of the two sides.
Under such circumstances, it is normal for the battle to be one-sided.
Hua Xiong led his troops and horses and galloped forward.
He did not surrender or deliberately kill the Kwantung soldiers who were overtaken by them.
He just continued to defeat them, leading his soldiers to advance forward.
The purpose of doing this is to stop more people who are escaping.
As for the Kwantung soldiers and horses who were overtaken by Hua Xiong and others, Li Jin, Li Jue and others who came from behind naturally took care of them.
The chase continued until dawn, when Hua Xiong caught up with Liu Bei and his party.
Seeing so many deserters in front of them, Hua Xiong couldn't help but get extremely excited. With his troops and horses, he rushed towards them without slowing down.
One side was as powerful as a rainbow, and the other side was a defeated and fleeing army. After the two met, Liu Bei was unable to resist him within a short time.
He began to lead his troops and horses and continued to flee.
The team that was already in chaos because of fleeing for their lives became even more chaotic at this time.
Not to mention that Liu Bei's reputation could have prevented this situation from happening.
Hua Xiong rode his horse and wielded his sword, charging and killing all the way.
After charging for a while, when they saw Liu Bei's flag in Pingyuan County, they immediately led their troops and rushed towards Liu Bei.
Hua Xiong was extremely jealous of Liu Bei and Liu Xuande from Pingyuan County, and had long wanted to kill him.
This guy is really hateful!
The emperor's uncle was the queen of Zhongshan Prince Jing. After this guy saw that the emperor's uncle was famous, he pretended to be the queen of Zhongshan Prince Jing.
How could he, a lonely man, be worthy of being the Queen of Prince Jing of Zhongshan?
It’s really ridiculous!
What makes people even more angry is that this guy actually dared to brazenly say that the emperor's uncle was the fake Empress Jing of Zhongshan!
Hua Xiong could no longer bear this!
My imperial uncle is the current emperor who personally recognizes him as the one whose name exists on the records of Zongzheng Temple!
How dare he, a man who weaves mats and sells shoes, dares to slander someone out of thin air?
Now that he finally got the chance, he must chop this fake guy to death!
How dare he slander the emperor's uncle's innocence like this!
With these thoughts in his mind, Hua Xiong became even more courageous, and the soldiers and horses he led also used their lives to keep getting closer to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei naturally discovered this and was shocked. While running away, he kept making some moves to get rid of Hua Xiong.
But Hua Xiong had already spotted him and was about to kill this guy who pretended to be Queen Jing of Zhongshan.
How could he get rid of it?
After a lot of actions, not only was he unable to get rid of Hua Xiong, but he was constantly approached by Hua Xiong.
In the end, he was entangled by Hua Xiong and couldn’t escape!
"Liu Bei's son!
You, a mat weaver and shoe seller, dare to pretend to be Queen Jing of Zhongshan and slander my imperial uncle!
You must die today!"
Hua Xiong held up his sword, pointed at Liu Bei and cursed loudly.
Fight bravely all the way, unstoppable!
Liu Bei looked to see if he could escape, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
At this moment, his mind couldn't help but flash the image of Mrs. Gan crying secretly, and he couldn't help but feel a stinging feeling in his heart.
I feel like there is no point in living anymore, so dying right now is a kind of relief!
He stopped escaping immediately and fought Hua Xiong right here.
How could Liu Bei be Hua Xiong's opponent?
It didn't take long for Liu Bei's place to become unsustainable.
It doesn't take long to see that Hua Xiong will be able to kill Liu Bei.
As a result, at this moment, a troop of soldiers and horses suddenly rushed from the side.
The first general, holding a big sword in his hand, has red phoenix eyes and silkworm eyebrows, and is eight feet long.
Looking over here, he shouted: "You are a betrayer! Don't hurt my brother's life!"
Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang are here!!"
It turned out that Guan Yu was the first to leave with his soldiers and horses at the beginning. He felt uneasy thinking that the people in Tongguan would definitely come out to catch up at this time.
He ordered Sun Qian to take the rest of the troops and leave first, and he took some people behind to meet Liu Bei.
Came here just in time.
Hua Xiong naturally knew about Guan Yu.
He had seen it before when he was at Sishui Pass with his uncle.
I know this guy is very powerful.
Although he is not as good as the emperor's uncle, he is someone who can fight against the emperor's uncle.
I also remember that the emperor's uncle once told me that when I met a man named Guan Yu, I would not let him fight head-on.
When you have to go, go.
Seeing Guan Yu arriving at this moment, he couldn't help but feel angry, thinking that this damn guy really knew how to find the right time!
"That thief who steals and sells jujube! When the emperor's uncle is not here, everyone looks like a betrayal. When the emperor's uncle is here, why are you not arrogant?!"
Hua Xiong pointed at Guan Yu and cursed.
And he tried his best to kill Liu Bei, as if he would not stop until he died.
When Guan Yu heard Hua Xiong say these words, his already red face turned even redder.
He stopped talking to him, picked up his sword, and headed towards Hua Xiong with his soldiers and horses.
As a result, as soon as he rushed, Hua Xiong, who had just looked determined to fight, ran away immediately.
The war horse under Guan Yu's crotch is not a red rabbit horse. The red rabbit horse was cut off by Huang Zhong.
At this time, the horse he was riding was not as good as Hua Xiong's, so he could not catch up with Hua Xiong.
After chasing for a while, he returned and continued to protect Liu Bei.
As a result, when he came back, Hua Xiong, who had just fled, followed him again, shouting and cursing him.
Guan Yu turned around to pursue him, but Hua Xiong immediately left without giving Guan Yu a chance to get close.
Guan Yu stopped chasing, and Hua Xiong continued to harass them, taking the opportunity to eat some of their troops...
This style of fighting made Guan Yu's face even redder with anger.
It would be fine if he couldn't beat Hua Xiong, but this guy is just a swindler!
He really wanted to turn around and kill Hua Xiong, but he didn't dare to really chase him all the way.
He knew that the thieves chasing in Tongguan were not just Hua Xiong, but there would also be other soldiers and horses.
If I chase for a long time, I will be completely entangled...
I can only endure the aggrieved heart and keep going east amid Hua Xiong's commotion...
From then on, there was one more person on Guan Yu's must-kill list.
