Chapter 803 Defeated Maicheng, riding alone for thousands of miles
Qin Qiong's words disturbed Guan Yu's mind. He was worried about Liu Bei and didn't know why he suddenly surrendered to Emperor Chu.
What happened after he left?
When strong men fight, they cannot be distracted at all. At this time, with the thunderous sound of war drums and the doubts in his heart, Guan Yu has lost the opportunity.
Seeing that he was distracted, Qin Qiong crossed his mace across the hilt of Yanyue's knife and hit Guan Yu's chest with great force. The violent impact caused him to stumble back dozens of meters.
This moment.
Guan Yu came back to his senses and did not dare to be careless at all. He quickly ran towards the Neighing Red Rabbit with his sword in hand. He jumped on his horse and charged towards Maicheng with his sword in hand.
However.
Zhan Dongye has led his soldiers back to Maicheng, and the city gate is slowly closing. Not far away, Yuchi Gong gallops on his horse, and Dugufa raises his hand to pull out the weapon that Guan Yu had previously knocked away.
The two men went hand in hand and led the army to rush towards Maicheng. Qin Qiong saw that Guan Yu could not enter the city, so he galloped towards the lower side of the city. He raised his hand and grabbed the huge bow on the side of the horse's back, and picked up the bow and arrow.
"call out!"
"call out!"
"call out!"
The three arrows shattered into the air, like shooting stars. Although Qin Qiong's archery skills were not as good as those of Huang Zhong, Li Guang, Xue Rengui, and Hua Rong, he could still hit the target with all his shots without missing any arrows.
As arrows flew out, three Western Jin soldiers fell down at the city gate. Under the leadership of the second general, the warriors of the Chifeng Battalion were like a scourge, out of control.
It was like a flood, setting off a black wave wherever it passed, and countless arrows flew towards the gate of Maicheng at the same time.
Within a few breaths.
The powerful soldiers of the Chifeng Battalion were already approaching the city. Zhan Dongye thought that by abandoning Guan Yu, Maicheng could be saved, but he did not expect that the Chu army's cavalry was so powerful that his soldiers could not stop the advance.
On the city, the soldiers of the Western Jin Dynasty drew their strings and nocked arrows, flying arrows like locusts, but they did not pose the slightest threat to the Chifeng Battalion, which was wearing the Peak-breaking Armor.
I saw Dugu Fa holding the cold spear high and roaring: "Throw it away!"
"Whoa!"
"Whoa!"
"Whoa!"
The sharp spear flew out from the hands of the Chifeng Battalion warriors who were galloping on horseback, and hit the city gate in front of them like a heavy artillery shell penetrating the void.
The soldiers of the Western Jin Dynasty were extremely frightened. The city gate was like poisonous poison, and anyone who touched it would die. No one was spared.
Seeing the approaching Chu army, the soldiers of the Western Jin Dynasty abandoned the city gate and quickly retreated to the end of the long street.
An hour later.
Most of Maicheng fell into the hands of the Chu army. The soldiers of the Western Jin Dynasty abandoned their helmets and fled. The 50,000 cavalrymen brought by Guan Yu fought fiercely with the Chu army.
Zhan Dongye was already frightened. He was well aware of the strength of the Chu army and did not dare to meet its advance. He led the remaining troops to withdraw from Maicheng.
Guan Yu was unable to enter the city and was injured. After galloping for an hour, he jumped off the horse and spurted out a mouthful of red blood. He placed his palms on the ancient tree in front of him.
He raised his hand to wipe away the blood stains at the corner of his mouth, and looked back towards Maicheng. Beacon smoke was everywhere, swallowing up the sky. He knew that Maicheng was lost at this time, but it was a pity that he had 50,000 troops under his command.
In Diumai City, Liu Bei's whereabouts were unknown and he was seriously injured. At this time, Guan Yu was in a very embarrassed state.
As the sun sets in the west, one person rides on the ancient road in the wilderness, obviously feeling a little lonely and desolate...
Qin Qiong informed Liu Bei that he had surrendered to Chu. Guan Yu did not believe his words and decided to stop the attack from thousands of miles away and went to Jiangling City to search for Liu Bei's traces.
.............
Two days passed, and it was now noon. Emperor Chu arrived at Leling City with his army. Looking at Leling with smoke rising and the city gate ajar, Emperor Chu and the generals around him had doubts on their faces.
"Your Majesty, what has happened to Leling City? Why are there no traces of our Chu soldiers? And there is a strong bloody aura gathering over the city."
Su Lie had a look of astonishment on his face, and his voice, which was always calm, actually trembled a little.
"yes!"
"Your Majesty, we have been rushing all the way, but we haven't encountered the remnants of Dong Zhuo's army. Have they already entered the city?"
Liu Bei had become acquainted with the Chu Emperor in the past few days and was in awe of the Chu Emperor who was a civilized and military man next to him. In the past, Dong Zhuo personally said that he would come to Leling City to join forces with Zhang Xiu, but they pursued them all the way but did not find any Mongolian cavalry.
trace.
"Dingfang, Xuande, there is something else going on in Leling City. Let's go into the city to explore, and everything will become clear!"
The Emperor of Chu did not believe that Huang Zhong, Xue Rengui, Gao Shun, and Qu Yi, leading hundreds of thousands of iron troops, would be completely wiped out in two days.
Moreover, the system has not sent any news that the generals died in battle. The only way to find out what happened is to enter Leling City.
"Generals, listen to the order and enter the city!"
After giving the order, the generals followed the Emperor of Chu and approached Leling City. Dozens of vanguard troops stepped forward and pushed open the half-closed city gate.
"Creak!"
The city gate opened wide, and a strong smell of blood rushed in. What came into view was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with broken limbs and arms, and the blood on the ground had dried up.
There were only broken walls left on both sides, with corpses lying scattered everywhere, and everything you could see was a mess.
"this........"
"What happened here..."
Generals Li Jue and Guo Si looked pale. Even though they had been on the battlefield for many years, they had never seen such a tragic scene.
"Dian Wei, Su Lie sent an order to the soldiers to clean up the corpses on the long street and immediately pass through Leling City to look for traces of Wu Chu soldiers."
The Emperor of Chu also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news. Every inch of the country, every inch of blood, hundreds of large and small battles were fought in the war continent. What he saw in Leling City today made him feel the horror of war for the first time.
An hour later, Emperor Chu finally led his army through Leling City. At this time, a scout came to report that the Chu army was fighting with the Mongolian cavalry ten miles outside the city.
Hear the sound.
A glimmer of hope flashed across the eyes of the Chu army. It seems that the Chu army has not yet been completely wiped out, but it is obvious that they have suffered heavy losses.
"All the soldiers listen to the order and come with me to rescue our Chu soldiers. We must not let go of any Mongolian cavalry."
"kill!"
"kill!"
The war horses roared in the wind, tens of thousands of soldiers followed closely behind the generals, and sand rose from thousands of miles away. The Chu generals were like wild beasts descending from the mountains and rising out of the sea like dragons.
Ten miles away, in a short time, Emperor Chu led his men to kill them. He reined up his horse and looked forward. He found the trapped camp. He climbed to the Dead Soldiers Camp first. The three battalions of the Divine Arrow Camp had 100,000 soldiers. At this moment, there were very few left.
to 20,000 people.
They were surrounded by Mongolian cavalry on all sides, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate. Emperor Chu's eyes flashed across the figures of the Mongolian generals.
"The Spear King of the North—Zhang Xiu?"
"Dong Zhuo had many powerful generals under his command. No wonder they were able to inflict such heavy losses on our three legions."
Emperor Chu's deep voice sounded, muttering to himself, a cold light flashed across his black eyes, and a terrifying murderous aura rose up around his body.
"Kill! Leave no one behind!"
The cold voice resounded through the sky, and the generals Li Jue, Guo Si, Su Lie, Pang De, Qi Jiguang, Sun Shangxiang, and Dian Wei led their troops and charged away.
The rumble of horse hooves resounded across the sky, and the billowing smoke swept across the sky. Dong Zhuo, Zhang Xiu, and Li Ru followed the sound and found the Chu army coming on horseback with their neighing wind. Their pupils widened, looking incredible. (To be continued)
