Just as the Xiejiaping Mountains were undergoing drastic changes, Cao Ang and Cao Pi were also on the edge of the storm.
the reason is simple--
Within only one day of each other, Cao Ang and Cao Pi both received requests for help from Cao Ren.
It's just that...under the situation of asymmetric information, the two people made completely opposite choices.
Let's not mention this for now...the key point is...what is Cao Ren's situation at this moment is the most worrying thing.
——
Time goes back to when Guan Yu took the initiative and Cao Ren was surrounded.
It stands to reason that with Guan Yu's impact at that time and the surrounding floods that seemed to be blessed by God, Cao Ren's 50,000-strong army was almost destined to be completely annihilated.
But in this desperate situation, an army came after hearing the news and gave Cao Ren and others their last hope.
…
Guan Yu took the lead, jumped from the ship, and led an elite force to the open space where Cao Ren was.
The battle only lasted less than half an hour, and countless corpses of Cao's army could be seen everywhere, but Guan Yu knew that if he could not defeat his opponent until he lost the ability to resist, the battle would not be considered a complete victory.
Because with their current extremely thin support line, even if they are harassed by the enemy from behind, it is very likely that the army rushing to support Liu Bei will be seriously affected.
Therefore, Guan Yu, who was ruthless, even though his troops were less than half of Cao Ren's, still moved forward bravely to defeat Cao Ren's army in one fell swoop.
At this moment, the water rose again, causing the last intact piece of open space that Cao Ren and others had been clinging to to be torn apart by the current.
The battlefield that was originally relatively complete was now divided again. Guan Yu found that his opponent still had the possibility of escaping - the opponent still had many spare ships. As long as he gave his opponent a little chance to breathe, they could escape to a more open area.
In the area, judging from the current momentum of the flood, it is basically impossible for the cavalry to play a role. By then, as long as the opponent reaches the shore, they will lose a great opportunity to pursue.
When he thought of this, Guan Yu did not allow failure and simply led the troops himself, vowing to kill Cao Ren in order to defeat the enemy's morale.
"General! General! Guan Yu has brought his men over!!"
Several of Cao Ren's lieutenants immediately realized that something was wrong with the situation. Although they were still resisting stubbornly, they saw that the armies were fighting on their own and separated by each other. If the enemy defeated them one by one, they would really have no chance of escaping.
As he spoke, Cao Ren chopped down an enemy in front of him again and wiped away the stains of rain and blood on his face. When he heard his men shouting, he quickly raised his head and looked around.
Sure enough... Not far away, Guan Yu led hundreds of men to attack with swords in a menacing manner. Cao Ren's eyes met with his, and he only saw the endless killing intent in his eyes.
At this moment, he was in a weak position, and it was really difficult for him to resist the piercing murderous intent, and he couldn't help but look away, but this did not change the fact that they were about to be surrounded and annihilated.
"Move to the northeast and fight our way out. Even if there is water flowing... we must make peace with the army!"
Cao Ren gritted his teeth and issued the order, and all his subordinates were motivated again... They had been blocked several times before, but this time, if they could not break through again, they would not have this chance.
After that, Cao Ren picked up the long knife at hand, stepped on the pile of corpses in front of him, and jumped towards an enemy squad in the distance.
The group of officers and soldiers of Guan Yu's army who were fighting with Cao Ren's army naturally did not expect that Cao Ren would fall from the sky at such a time.
In just a moment, Cao Ren screamed and swung his sword, and the severed limbs were scurrying around under the sweep. His powerful blow actually swept out a clearing in front of him.
There were at least hundreds of people around who saw Cao Ren's brave and invincible scene just now. The enemy was naturally frightened to death, while our own side was inspired:
"Soldiers, follow me to break through!"
As Cao Ren roared, everyone roared and followed him to the edge of the siege in the distance.
As the saying goes, a trapped beast still fights. On the battlefield, you must not underestimate the desperate momentum of others just because the situation is good.
Perhaps it was also because Guan Yu's army fought so smoothly. In nearly an hour, Cao Ren's army suffered far more than 10,000 casualties, as if the battle had been won...
He didn't realize that Cao Ren could still have such explosive power after being silent for a long time.
The encirclement was instantly hit by a strong attack led by Cao Ren. The originally airtight encirclement was forced to retreat. However, this retreat gave the remaining Cao army more breathing opportunities.
All this was seen by Guan Yu.
"Father! Cao Ren and the others are running away!"
Guan Ping yelled and seemed a little nervous when he saw Cao Ren's sudden outburst.
However, there was only a low cold snort from Guan Yu.
"With me here today, how can they possibly escape?"
"It's just a moth chasing a flame, a mantis trying to catch a chariot!"
With that said, Guan Yu stepped away and charged straight towards Cao Ren.
As expected, Cao Ren squeezed out the last of his strength, gathered strength, and managed to hold on until now.
Guan Yu, who arrived later, immediately reversed the army's decline as soon as he joined the battle.
I saw that under the leadership of Guan Yu, Cao Ren was forced by his sharpness and had to retreat steadily. Moreover, the morale that had just been boosted also fell rapidly due to the sharp increase in casualties.
With the lessons learned from the past, Guan Yu would not show any mercy to the enemy this time. He saw exactly when Cao Ren was exhausted, kicked away the enemies fighting around him, and quickly stepped forward with his sword drawn. Not only that, he
The roar in his mouth was like a curse in Cao Ren's ears:
"Cao Ren, today is your day of death! Take your fate!!"
The sword seemed to split through the layers of fog, and the Qinglong Yanyue was swept away by the aura of clouds and rain, like a blue dragon suddenly born between heaven and earth.
The sword was so fast that Cao Ren didn't have time to strike a counterattack. He could only hold the sword helplessly in front of him, praying that it could gain even a glimmer of hope for himself.
But such a prayer seemed so ridiculous in the face of such a knife.
It seems...the battle is completely decided at this moment...
unless--
"General Zixiao, hold on! Wenpin is coming!"
In just this moment, an ordinary arrow traveled through the entire battlefield, passing by countless soldiers, and arrived in front of Cao Ren and Guan Yu at the same time as someone's firm call.
It was at this moment that the arrow hit the edge of Qinglong Yanyue's blade, giving Cao Ren a moment's chance to breathe.
It was also Cao Ren who fought hard and followed Cao Cao into the world twenty years ago. As long as Cao Ren was not defeated, he would never give up any hope of survival.
He caught the flaw of this moment.
Dang 钒——
Cao Ren used his backhand to lift the knife, and the Qinglong Yanyue beside him brushed the tip of his nose and fell, while his knife directly split Guan Yu's breastplate...
