Chapter 24: Another Tiger Raising Hedong (Part 2)

I don't know if it was because the battle had already started, but in the afternoon, in the sultry weather, Yuan Shao actually felt a little uneven breathing... This made Yuan Cheqi, who always paid attention to his grace, a little uneasy, and even began to doubt his Qi-nurturing skills.

But at this moment, the feathered guards in the army who were responsible for delivering the news suddenly arrived:

"Reporting to my lord, Colonel Wu'an was beheaded and two of his troops were defeated. However, General Yu Jin has led three troops forward, blocking Guan Yunchang's retreat..."

Yuan Shao sneered when he heard this. He looked around, hoping to find someone to talk to about his depression or to get angry, but he found that even Chen Gong had gone to prepare for the final siege and interception. There was no one who could really talk to him.

Woolen cloth?

In desperation, he just waved slightly to drive away the guards, and then continued to breathe rapidly surrounded by thousands of soldiers... Of course, at this time, he would never care about the unevenness of his breathing.

But not long after, another Lingyu guard came to report: "Colonel Cheng Wu was defeated, and two of his troops were defeated!"

Yuan Shao blinked his eyes and continued to sneer, still making no expression.

However, after a while, the Lingyu guards came to report three times: "My Lord, Li Zhengsima under Li Xiaowei was captured alive by Guan Yu. Li Xiaowei threw a rat weapon and did not dare to move lightly, so he could only follow. Guan Yu's men escaped calmly.

We have turned the corner of the city and are coming here!"

At this moment, Yuan Benchu ​​put away his smile and sighed quietly.

By the way, of course Yuan Shao knows who Li Zheng is. In fact, the Li family of Jiyin is probably the most useful and capable clan leader under him, more powerful than the Ji family of Qinghe, the Lu family of Dongping, and the Xue family of Dongjun.

Yuan Benchu's eyes, and the heir to such a powerful family was arrested, he could certainly understand Li Jin's helplessness... However, this also made Yuan Shao feel more and more depressed.

To be fair, the world would have been like this without Gongsun Xun, but just because of the emergence of such a benchmark, there appeared a person who kept exuding strange thoughts, whether it was Sun Wentai before or Gongsun Bogui later.

, and now Yuan Benchu ​​couldn't help but examine himself.

This kind of examination may not touch the soul, nor may it be effective, but from a conceptual point of view, it is undoubtedly a kind of baptism and progress.

In other words, Yuan Benchu ​​had some dissatisfaction and uneasiness with his inferior military organization from the very beginning of this attack on Handan, and this feeling gradually increased as the friendly forces sat back and watched Tian Yinbu's destruction.

Capturing and killing one person today will make thousands of troops lose their combat effectiveness, but it is becoming more and more obvious.

It can even be said that at this time, Yuan Cheqi had a vague feeling that in the overall situation of competing with Gongsun Xun for the world, compared with whether to win or lose the city of Handan, internal military reorganization seemed to be the real priority.

However, as Guan Yunchang led his troops around the corner of the city and came to the east of the city, Yuan Shao had no time to think too much. After he saw an army flashing out from the corner of the city in the distance, he steeled himself and looked solemnly.

"Lord," another feathered knight arrived, but he was here on behalf of Chen Gong. "Chen Changshi said that he was going to let Guan Yunchang go to the front of Tushan, and then use both wings to attack each other. He also asked the lord to be calm.

!”

"Got it!" Yuan Benchu ​​waved his hand slightly, showing a slight impatient tone, but didn't take it to heart at all.

This is of course. You must know that when Guan Yu and his men turned the corner and appeared in sight, after Li entered the pocket of three thousand soldiers, Yu Jin blocked the north gate with three thousand soldiers, and then there were four thousand soldiers in front of him.

, there is also Chen Gong who holds ten troops and continues to arrange the siege. No matter how he looks at it, there is no sign of failure.

However, in fact, Yuan Shao was not as calm as he appeared on the surface at this time... Although in broad daylight, he was on a high ground and surrounded by thousands of soldiers, so he was basically safe. He wanted to repeat what happened to Lu Bu in Hanoi.

Basically, I just thought about the first battle, but for some reason, Yuan Cheqi could not help but feel palpitations in the dull weather, because he always felt that something was wrong. He always felt that Guan Yunchang would not fight this battle with just one weapon.

Fight with bloody courage.

And Yuan Shao thought about it for a long time, and the only reasonable explanation was that Guan Yu was planning to wait until dark, and then take the opportunity to slip away... So judging from the cost of this battle and the number of casualties, it can be said that it is

Guan Yunchang won!

But in the extremely hot weather, as Yuan Benchu ​​wiped the sweat from his face again, he doubted this conjecture again... After all, this temperature doesn't look like it will get dark soon, right?

To the east of the city, in the shadow under the city wall, Guan Yu had already seen that Yuan Shao was densely surrounded by soldiers, but he just raised his head and looked at the sky, and remained unhurried, adorned with the three troops and three thousand men led by Li Jin.

People continue to head towards the mountainous terrain ahead where there seems to be no chance of victory!

Yuan Shao caught a glimpse of it from a distance and became increasingly frightened and doubtful.

But no matter what, as time gradually passed, General Zhenwu Guan Yu, despite being surrounded by countless enemy troops on three sides, just like strolling in a courtyard, finally came to the mountain where four thousand soldiers gathered, and then stopped and stood up!

For a moment, near Tushan, above the city and below the city, the air seemed to be solid.

"The overall situation has been decided!" Yuan Jun saw that the North Gate and South Gate had been blocked. Even in front of the East Gate, Jushou desperately sent an extra elite force to hold up the shields at the front and rear. I don't know how many people felt a stone falling in their hearts.

, even breathing suddenly became smoother.

"What tricks is Guan Yunchang playing?" Shen Zhengnan was at the top of the city. He also began to feel suspicious and became serious.

"General." Pan Zhang was also a little uneasy at this time.

"It doesn't matter." Guan Yu signaled slightly, then reined in his horse and went straight to Yuan Shao's formation, and shouted in front of everyone. "The imperial court ordered General Zhenwu to be here. May I ask you, this is where Yuan Shao built a mountain to attack the city.

Where?"

The soldiers and officers in front of the formation looked at each other, each speechless.

The two leaders of the soldiers, one Wen Chou and the other Gao Lan, sneered and looked back at Yuan Shao, who was sitting upright behind him.

Yuan Benchu ​​was obviously stunned, but he soon realized that the other party was stalling for time and looking for reasons for his withdrawal, while the two generals were asking for a fight.

But how to say it?

Being obsessed with face is something that suits Yuan Shao's taste. Even for a moment, although he was scolded as a thief, Yuan Benchu's impression of Guan Yunchang changed for the better... because a person with obvious shortcomings is a person who can be controlled.

If such a person can be returned to our side, then what are the Wu Anguo, Tian Yin, Li family, and Tian family before?

That's right, for a moment, Yuan Benchu ​​actually wanted to come forward and talk to persuade him to surrender!

Of course, after looking at the expressions of Wen Chou and Gao Lan in front of the two generals, and thinking about the dead generals, Yuan Shao recalled the scene where Hua Xiong was killed by Zhang Yide and Lu Fengxian flew into the camp.

I pressed this idea.

"Send the order!" After thinking this, Yuan Shao immediately gave the order. "Let generals Wen and Gao hold it in, don't mess up the position because of some words, and wait for Chen Changshi to encircle you! However, you can let the crossbowmen hidden in the army

Go forward and once you are in position, immediately launch your attack and shoot this beast!"

"You want to lose face!" The judge on the city wall listened for a long time. At this time, he looked down and saw the crossbowmen in Yuan Jun's formation sneaking forward. He was also anxious and angry, so that he cursed in his heart. "I can't change it in my life! Today!

If you die outside the city, you deserve it!"

However, Guan Yu stood alone in front of the formation and saw that the four thousand soldiers in front of him remained motionless. On the contrary, there was some movement behind the formation, but he remained calm and continued to speak: "If this is the case, then you all

It's really hard work. Four thousand civilians have been held by Yuan's thieves to this point. They actually have to wear armor to carry earth and bear shields to exert force... Of course, this is no wonder. The overseer in the middle of the platform when I was watching the work has grown taller and lower.

He is short, has a big head and a small body, and looks like a naturally mean person. I think he is a person who can do such a thing. However, this person is sitting behind the table at this time, as if he is selling his head. If you suffer from him, why not turn around?

To take this person’s head and then follow my general back? My general, the Guard, loves his people like his own son, and under his command, he would never be so ridiculous!”

There was a commotion in the formation, and Yuan Shao also laughed angrily... He thought that Yuan Benchu ​​had been known for his outstanding appearance since he was a child. How could he be long at the top and short at the bottom, with a big head and a small body? Why do he want to be the leader?

Four thousand soldiers are here. Are you willing to come up and take my head?!

On the other side, after Guan Yu took advantage of his words, he remained unhurried, and just slightly raised his hands to indicate: "I came here for Tushan, and I didn't want to hurt innocent people, but now that you have stopped working, you still pity the families behind.

, if you are not willing to go with me, I will stop bothering you and say goodbye first. We will meet you in the future!"

After saying this, he turned around and returned to the formation in the cool breeze.

It should be noted that the four thousand soldiers of Yuan Jun were prepared just in case. They were to prevent the opponent from breaking out and capturing Yuan Shao. The crossbowmen were either complete from the beginning, or other troops, because there were many on the city wall.

It has a higher strike field of view and a longer strike distance, so the crossbowmen are not regarded as the standard equipment, but the shield soldiers are mainly used.

Therefore, at this time, the opponent suddenly withdrew, and Yuan Jun's plan to send archers and crossbowmen to surround him failed for a while, and then everyone was at a loss.

"Encircle!" Tushan was in a dilemma, but in the cool breeze, Chen Gong finally completed the final arrangement. Then he no longer hesitated and immediately launched a flag and ordered the entire army to encircle.

"Kill the prisoners and turn the whole army around!" Guan Yu returned to the formation and immediately ordered a retreat, as if he was about to fight a trapped beast. "Whether it is on horseback or on foot, the whole army threw down their spears and held short soldiers!"

The order was a bit strange, but Pan Zhang and below were all soldiers who had been with Guan Yu for a long time, so how could they dare to neglect him? After throwing down his spear, Pan Wengui personally went forward and chopped off the captured Li Zheng's head with a knife, and later generations of the Jiyin Li family.

One of the leaders, Li Dian's cousin, and the most powerful leader in Yanzhou who once served as the governor of Qingzhou, died so simply and neatly on the day he first entered the battle at the age of twenty.

However, just when Guan Yu suddenly issued a strange order and led his troops to turn around, Yuan Jun suddenly became more powerful and the whole army was shaken. Many places had begun to carry out large-scale crossbow attacks on the city walls and struggled to resist the encirclement under the city.

, several riders suddenly galloped out from the Jushu tribe blocking the east gate, heading towards Yuan Shao and Chen Gong respectively.

"Pay attention to the weather?!" Yuan Shao was confused when he heard this.

Chen Gong suddenly turned pale.

After Yuan Benchu ​​was stunned for a moment, as a gust of cool wind blew behind his head, he suddenly understood, and hurriedly looked behind him. It turned out that at some point, a cumulonimbus cloud had appeared at the edge of his field of vision, and it was getting bigger and bigger.

It's getting thicker and heavier, and it's rolling forward rapidly! And thinking about the abnormally hot and sultry conditions before, Yuan Shao doesn't understand? This theoretically is early autumn, but in fact it's a typical summer rainstorm.

I'm afraid this is the reason and reliance of Guan Yunchang's attack!

No wonder the opponent immediately went to war on the first day after Tushan established the base!

No wonder the other party was so busy along the way!

No wonder the opponent only brought a thousand soldiers and horses!

What Guan Yunchang was waiting for was not darkness at all, but the heavy rain in late summer and early autumn!

On the top of the city, Shen Pei, who was not warned by anyone, suddenly realized it before the cumulonimbus clouds appeared, because when he suddenly raised his head, he was greeted by a gust of cool wind. When he lowered his head again, Guan Yunchang had already ordered to abandon his horse and throw his spear.

Speaking of which, although Guan Yunchang has been in Chaoge for a long time, the northern part of Hanoi, Wei County, and Zhao State are naturally the same in terms of hydrogeography. They are all next to the Taihang Mountains, they are all in the Zhangshui River Basin, and they are all on the southernmost side of the central Hebei region.

It's a plain area, so it's no wonder that Guan Yunchang knows the weather here.

By the same token, it is no wonder that Jushou and Shenpei were the first to wake up... However, after they woke up, they were each embarrassed. After all, they were natives, and Guan Yunchang was a murderer in Hedong. Counting the previous

The more than a year he spent working for people in Handan and being recruited by Gongsun Xun was only seven years in this area!

However, the two sides' understanding of the local weather is vastly different, and has even undergone qualitative changes.

Back in front of him, Chen Gong came to his senses. His face turned pale and he immediately issued an order for a general attack. He must round up Guan Yunchang.

However, celestial phenomena cannot be resisted or defeated by force, at least in this era! The order has just been passed down, and Sergeant Yuan and his soldiers have already experienced a whole process from before.

The day went from extremely hot to cool breeze, and then suddenly to the freezing air conditioner.

Before the officers from various ministries were ordered to attack Guan Yu's position, huge raindrops began to fall, and then there was a sudden burst of wind, which was mixed with the arrows on the top of the city, making it difficult to raise one's head.

He was in a panic, and what was even more frightening was that the sky turned dark almost instantly, and it was almost impossible to see him within five steps!

In the huge chaos, the swords, guns and swords drawn by the friendly forces have become their own biggest enemies. Tramples and accidental injuries have become the biggest source of attrition. The soldiers around the Tushan construction site also encountered their own unique enemy mud.

Combined with the slipperiness and the armor on the body, it became the biggest obstacle to movement.

At the same time, Guan Yunchang and his troops were operating closely close to the city wall, and the natural order was in order. Not to mention that just before the sky changed, Guan Yunchang gave a direct order, and the entire army dropped their spears. A thousand people, regardless of riding or walking, only held rings.

The first sword fight, a hand-to-hand encounter in the rain!

Leather-armored short soldiers may not be the best equipment for rainy battles, but they are the most suitable equipment on the current battlefield. Yuan Jun may be able to make such an action immediately when he wakes up, but this process of awakening requires his life!

In the darkness, the three troops led by Li Jin, who didn't know that their young master had lost his head, suffered the most direct and cruel blow! Guan Yunchang came on horseback, and before the rain soaked the road, he rushed forward and killed two hundred people.

The cavalry took advantage of the chaos and trampled him, and then eight hundred soldiers came and chopped with their swords. Their limbs were broken off and the body fell to the ground, covered in blood and rain.

The sound of thunder, drums, and rain could not cover up the sounds of killing and screams, not to mention the sudden flash of lightning across the sky, illuminating the battlefield instantly, but then disappearing in an instant... Li Jin knew that his own soldiers who had advanced under the city wall were being massacred.

, but was actually powerless. After all, even gods would find it difficult to effectively command this situation.

Think about retreating from everything.

In the pouring rain and the chaos of the battlefield, Li Tuizhi, who was standing slumped on the battlefield after seeing clearly the tragedy below the city through lightning, suddenly had an inexplicable and strange idea in his mind.

By the way, when lightning illuminated the whole place, Guan Yunchang once again caught a glimpse of this old friend he had not seen for many years, and then he held his sword and reined in his horse!

However, as the initial shower of rain passed, the situation of being unable to see anyone within five steps came and went quickly. Shortly after the lightning, although it was still dim, the vision was still blurry. In addition,

Guan Yunchang was tall and powerful, but when Li Jin saw him from a distance, he turned around and walked away! Amid the thunder, retreating together included more than 2,000 Li's disciples who still maintained their organizational structure and combat effectiveness.

This is really not that Li Jin is timid, in fact, it would be fine if he himself, but in such a situation, if one bad move is made, many of his own children will be ruined in vain... You know, the situation has become very clear now.

Wu Anguo was just an accident before. Guan Yunchang's real killer move in this battle was the heavy rain. Yuan Jun, who was caught off guard, was almost defenseless at this stage when the heavy rain just fell... leaving his own children to bear Guan Yu's most violent and violent attack alone.

Li Tuizhi would never accept an effective killing blow.

Since Li Jin ordered the entire army to withdraw, and the passage under the city was temporarily clear, Guan Yunchang immediately stood in the rain, but neither pursued nor took the opportunity to retreat.

Then he returned to the camp with his whole body. This battle was a huge victory.

But Guan Yunchang seemed not satisfied.

He made a prompt decision and ordered the entire army to turn around again and sweep northward along the east city wall!

On the city wall, Shen Pei, who was all wet, also saw Guan Yu's actions in the dim light, but he sighed repeatedly... In other words, this tactical move may seem arrogant, but it is actually a cautious move.

Why do you say that?

You must know that Guan Yu's camp is in the west of the city, Tushan and the current main battlefield are in the east and south of the city, and since Guan Yunchang killed Wu Anguo before and repelled Cheng Wu, it seems that he was on his way here, that is, in the south of the city.

The road has fewer obstacles and the distance is shorter. But don't forget that Yuan Shao's 80,000 troops are here. Although they are surrounded by three and one is missing, they are actually coming from the south, so the camp in the south of the city is particularly large.

Extraordinarily thick!

In other words, if Guan Yunchang was walking from the south of the city, it would still be very dangerous if he was blocked by Yu Jinshen when he arrived in front of Yu Jin because the rain was getting lighter, because he could not pass through Yuan Shao's camp with only a thousand men and horses, and there was no other way.

There is a road that can be taken, but it will eventually be surrounded, and if that is the case, even if he examines Zhengnan, he cannot really risk the city to open the door for rescue; but if he takes the north road, although there may be more troops to block it,

But with heavy rain like this, the ground was muddy, and the field of vision was incomplete. If Guan Yunchang could not break through, he could simply rely on the flexibility of his troops to escape from the gaps in the camp, and then surround the city and return to the camp.

Not to mention, turning around like this would definitely catch Jushu's troops guarding the east gate by surprise. And if the victory was quick, maybe Shen Pei could take the initiative to open the east gate and lure Guan Yu in.

"Get ready!" After Shen Zhengnan thought for a while, he immediately looked back and ordered. "Send a thousand people to hide behind the east gate and prepare to open the door to meet them. Let the people on the top of the city work harder, and try to gather as many people as possible to the east to kill.

!”

The military officials on the city didn't dare to neglect, so they naturally followed the orders.

A moment later, Jushu's troops finally recovered under the heavy rain. At this time, they were suddenly attacked, and they were indeed in panic again.

In other words, Ju Shou is an outstanding person, and letting him lead the army is definitely not a mistake. But just like Cao Cao's embarrassment when he led the army independently for the first time, no matter how smart and organized a person like him is, he can't compare to Ju Yi.

, Zhang Jia, Yu Jin, and even someone like Li Jin who has extremely rich military experience in battle, and he cannot lead by example like some brave generals and rush to the front.

In other words, his reliance lies in his clear organization and orderly order among his soldiers.

But a heavy rain and a carbine-style surprise attack caused Ju Gong and the thing he relied on to fall to the ground, and also put him in the most embarrassing situation, even a dangerous situation. In the chaos, he was good at beheading.

Guan Yunchang, who was making a surprise attack, also noticed Jushu's position, and then simply gave up the battle in front of the city gate and went to kill Jushu himself.

The sergeants on the left and right came to rescue one after another, but they were separated by Pan Zhang and others who were following Guan Yu.

Seeing the critical moment, Ju Hao, the son of Ju Shou and his first time in the army, couldn't help but kneel down under the general's flag and plead, his tears adding to the rain: "Why do you need to fight for a moment's glory?"

"It is a matter of being an adult to receive favors from others. If you retire today, how will you be able to see the world?" Jushou was so angry that he kicked his son away. "Besides, our army is so strong that the battle situation will be chaotic.

In this way, a mere thousand of his men seemed to be strong for a while, but they were just using offense as defense to find a way out in the chaos. How could he really be killed?!"

What Ju Sue said was right. Just when Guan Yunchang was trying to advance to Ju Sue's side, he suddenly heard cheers from behind him. When he turned around, he realized...it turned out that seeing Guan Yu's troops under the city having an advantage in the battle, Shen Piao ignored the danger.

, took the initiative to open the east gate, led his troops to attack the remnants of Jushou's troops in front of the gate, and at the same time allowed Guan Yu's troops to enter!

Seeing this, Guan Yu did not hesitate to fight, but immediately reined in his horse and turned around, preparing to enter the city. After all, Guan Yu was never a reckless general, but a very practical general who was very good at making use of the environment and fortifications. Those who looked extremely arrogant

The performance is just a manifestation of getting the maximum gain at the minimum cost after making good preparations.

It's like one thousand against eighty thousand. It seems ridiculous... but in fact? In fact, a thousand people are most suitable for fighting under the city. If three thousand people really go out together, it will be cumbersome.

In the same way, Lei Tushan forced the expedition on the first day, which seemed to be a temporary gamble, but in fact it was based on the weather, preparing to use the power of God to cause chaos, and then return calmly.

Right in front of him, the reason why he chose to risk a surprise attack on Jushou despite the thick enemy troops and the muddy and slippery ground outside the city that made it inconvenient for horses to fight was because he wanted to cause chaos to Jushou's troops and then take the opportunity to clear the east gate for retreat.

Now that he had the chance to escape unscathed, he naturally had no intention of fighting.

However, he saw that Jushu's troops in front of the east gate, who were responsible for blocking the enemy and guarding the city gate, instantly collapsed under the attack from the front and rear. Then the east gate opened wide, and Guan Yunchang personally stopped the retreat and withdrew the troops... However, not long after, Pan Zhang was ordered to lead the troops.

Entering the city, Guan Yu was still outside the city, but a general of the Yuan army desperately found Guan Yu on the battlefield. It was Bohai Gaolan Gao Mingqing!

In other words, Gao Lan is not related to the Chenliu Gao family, the in-laws of the Yuan family. He is a descendant of the Gao family from a powerful family in Bohai. When he was young, he was brave and ruthless, and he was dissolute. However, he always admired one of his elder brothers and called him

Gao Heng, nicknamed Xuanqing. But his clan brother suddenly gave up the life of a knight errant one day and took some of his companions to join the army. And soon, Gongsun Xun, the general of the Wei who was a commander of a certain department at the time,

His subordinates followed him out of the fortress and never returned.

At first Gao Lan didn't know what was going on, but later he was accompanied by his clan brother when he returned to his hometown. Only then did he realize that his clan brother had not died in battle, but had offended Gongsun Zan, which in turn implicated Gongsun Xun and Huwu at that time.

The personal grudge between Captain Huan and Xia Yu caused a dilemma in the army. In the end, Gongsun Xun and that Xia Yu were forced to commit suicide!

After this incident, Gao Lan, who regarded the powerful Gongsun family in Hebei as his enemy, no longer wandered around all day long, but simply joined the army.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, although this man was promoted due to his garrison service, he chose to leave his hometown after hearing that Gongsun Zan was coming to Bohai to serve as an official. After several years, by chance, he finally became an official in the state.

Met Gongsun on the battlefield.

In short, it is precisely because of the public and private grudges that he fought in Hebei and always fought without concern for his own life. He was like this in Jiudu before and it is also like this today. Just think about it. At this time, Gao Mingqing saw Guan Yu playing with tens of thousands of troops with a thousand men.

, in the end, after killing countless people, he actually had to retreat calmly, how could he endure it?

In the gradually drizzling rain, the man became angry and suddenly took off his iron armor which was full of mud and had become a burden. Then, with only a spear in hand, he led dozens of guards towards the city gate and charged towards them.

Come, as if you want to keep Guan Yu!

Gao Lan was so aggressive that Guan Yu couldn't see it. He just saw that the opponent was not wearing armor, and he didn't expect that he was an important person. But now that he was here, Guan Yunchang had no reason not to fight. He saw that he was not in a hurry, and first dismounted the general.

The mount was handed over to the retreating soldiers and led to the city. He then took a spear from a responding soldier in the city and brought his own bodyguards forward to stop him.

Two groups of people collided in front of the city. It was a head-on confrontation. Only then did Guan Yu realize that the person coming was extraordinary. When he asked his name again, he found out that it was Bohai Gaolan. In addition, the head-on confrontation was no better than a surprise attack, and each had dozens of soldiers.

The personal guards follow each other, so although there is some clear distinction between strength and weakness, how can the winner be determined at the moment? Especially when one side is fighting with all their might and risking their lives to attack, while the other side is worried about the situation and just wants to stop it for a while.

Moreover, even if the Handan garrison on the city wall wanted to shoot arrows, it was difficult for them to intervene as they were fighting in a melee.

When the battle came to this point, the Yuan Army was already extremely dull, but as the clouds gradually dispersed and the sky gradually became brighter, this scene became the hope of a comeback for everyone in the Yuan Army!

As long as Guan Yu is captured, all losses will be worth it! And as long as Guan Yu enters the city calmly, today's battle will be a real defeat!

Yuan Shao personally ordered Wen Chou to lead his troops to a surprise attack and take Guan Yu directly! Ju Shou also personally drew his sword to supervise the battle, ordered his guards to kill more than ten defeated troops, and reorganized his troops to move forward, including Zhao Chong, Ju Yi and others further north of Ju Shou.

In the future, all the tribes who had time to participate in the war, after hearing the news, also attracted troops one after another... Especially Chen Liu, who stood out from Zhang Miao's surrender, and Zhao Chong, he had someone to rely on, not only because his distance was second to Jushou

The key to this department is that Dian Wei, who is known as the unparalleled bravery in the Central Plains, is a native of his country and leads a group of the most capable soldiers. He is under his command at this time.

With Zhao Chong's experience, he really didn't expect that there was anyone in the world who could beat his fellow countryman in hand-to-hand combat.

But there was no need to know who Dian Wei was. On the city wall, Shenpei, who had received reports from everywhere that he saw so many people gathering, had already sensed the danger, and he repeatedly rang gold to signal Guan Yu to retreat.

Guan Yunchang was very thoughtful, and he knew better than anyone else that this battle was to rely on the heavy rain to complete a few surprise attacks, and then take advantage of the chaos to retreat. If it continued, there would be danger, but the Gao Lan in front of him was as powerful as a mad tiger.

How can you retreat so easily?

But at this moment, a general suddenly jumped out from the city on horseback and charged towards Gao Wang. The ground was completely soaked with water at this time, and even the ground in front of the city was extremely slippery.

Turning to the place where the battle was taking place, the horse stumbled and fell over, and then slid towards the two fighting men in an almost smashing manner.

At the same time, the remaining weapons on the ground instantly cut open the horse's body, causing blood to flow everywhere.

Amid the neighing, the horse was destined to die a tragic death.

However, with such a big horse coming directly towards them, no matter how entangled Guan Yu and Gao Lan were, they had to avoid each other in embarrassment, and then separated. Even the other warring parties also stopped because of this change. After Guan Yu separated, then

It was discovered that the coming general was Pan Zhang, who had been ordered to lead troops into the city first. Pan Wengui obviously sensed the potential danger of his general from the rapid sound of gold ringing, so he turned around and went out of the city to rescue him regardless of everything. However, at this time, the horse lost control, and his man

He was also thrown aside and struggled to get up. Guan Yu was so shocked that he quickly stepped forward to help him, and then called his soldiers to retreat.

On the other side, Gao Lan came back to his senses and saw that Guan Yunchang had quickly retreated into the city gate. How could he be willing to do so? What's more, although Guan Yunchang was huge and powerful, he was holding someone in his arms at this time.

Gave him a glimpse of opportunity.

As a result, Gao Mingqing's heart skipped a beat, and he picked up a spear from the ground again, roared, and then continued to risk his own life, leading his guards to try to chase him into the city gate.

"General, leave quickly and leave me alone!" Pan Zhang, whose whole body was in unbearable pain, became even more anxious when he heard the shouting from behind.

"Don't move!" Guan Yu supported Pan Zhang with one hand and continued to move forward. He held the spear tightly with the other hand, but secretly warned him. "Just look back. When he comes ten steps behind me, he will speak out immediately."

, I will let go!"

Pan Zhang woke up and did not dare to say anything. He just turned his head and stared at the pursuer.

It was too late, but it was too soon. I was just stunned for a while. How far away could the two sides be? Pan Zhang turned around after receiving the instruction and saw that the other party was only twenty steps away. Guan Yu's personal guards had even turned around to fight and try to hinder him.

, but was blocked by Gao Lan's soldiers.

A moment later, when he was about to turn at the edge of the city gate, he saw that the opponent was still seven or eight steps away, so he raised his spear and charged. Pan Wengui did not dare to neglect and shouted immediately, while Guan Yunchang stood still and let go of Pan Zhang.

Turning around, he threw a spear with one hand... and once the spear came out, it went straight through the chest and pinned the opponent to the open space in front of the city gate.

Gao Lan's subordinates panicked and rushed to save their general, but Guan Yu, protected by the remaining guards, calmly helped Pan Zhang up and went straight into the city. By the time Yuan Jun's troops arrived, the city gate had already been closed.

Then there were only a dozen guards in front of the city gate, wailing around a corpse nailed to the ground. Not far away, a disemboweled war horse was still neighing on the ground.

Of course, it is inevitable that the surroundings are in a mess, but in any case, there is neither of these two, especially the Bohai Gao Mingqing on the ground is the most conspicuous... It is pitiful that he failed to avenge his brother, nor could he kill the enemy in battle. Instead, he was killed because of a sudden advance.

The rain was pouring down, and the generals were silent.

—I am the silent dividing line—

"Li Jin, who was Jiyin in the late Han Dynasty, was nicknamed Tuizhi, and was always known as a famous general. Some people were confused and asked about Taizu. Taizu replied: 'In battles, there are winners and losers. The army has difficulty in advancing and retreating. Li Tuizhi advances.

"After Yu defeated Yuan's army and returned to the camp, Guo Jia braved the rain to welcome him. He sighed with emotion: 'It is unwise to test the general's martial prowess with only a small amount of money. The general's battle was truly divine.' Yu said sternly:'

In the past when he was in Zhongshan, General Wei once said: How can a general know nothing about astronomy and geography? It has been nine years! Today, I use these words to express my filial piety, and I should encourage him. 'Jia worships and obeys.' "Old Book of Yan"
