Lei Yuan's military order was passed along with the whistle or various whistles in the vast area from Huyang to Caiyang. Wherever the military orders went, all the units of the Jiaozhou Army stopped disturbing Cao's army and began to retreat voluntarily.
At this moment, the battle has really come to an end. The preparations that should be made have been done have been done, and there is no need to do anything extra. Whether the next last step will be as expected by Lei Yuan, it is inevitable that it will depend on some luck.
Three days later, the ministries gathered again, hiding their voices as Lei Yuan asked, waiting for the opportunity.
They waited for ten days.
In the past ten days, the main force of Cao's army was overturning south like a wave.
Yu Jin and the two generals Zhu Ling arrived first. They used Zhengcheng and Dengcheng as bases and continuously dispatched troops and generals, crossed the water and landed in an attitude of threatening Dengse.
Guan Yu immediately led his troops to attack and tried to fight in the field to defeat the enemy, but Yu Jin's troops never entangled with Guan Yu's headquarters, but just kept a distance and maintained a threat. As a result, Guan Yu's offensive against Fancheng could not be launched, and the battle situation suddenly entered a stalemate.
Since Guan Yu's troops could not take Fancheng, they remained silent and used their main force to build camps in Dengsai, and launched a fierce raid with a small group of troops to fight against Yu Jin and others. Within two days, the two sides fought for more than a dozen battles, and each suffered losses.
After two days like this, the army in Yecheng led by the King of Wei was suppressed, and the situation around Dengsai became increasingly tense.
At this time, Cao Xiu sent an army to cross the water in the direction of Lumen Mountain, and then went straight to the mouth of the water to confront Dengsai on the opposite side.
The Qingshuikou faces Yuliangzhou, directly controlling the water passage from the downstream of the Han River to Dengsai. Although the military significance of the Qingshuikou has decreased a lot because Xiangyang has changed hands, as long as Cao Xiu's headquarters controls the water outlet, the room for Dengsai's soldiers to detour will be severely compressed, and the east and west sides are blocked under the nose by Cao's army.
While Cao Xiu's troops were operating, the King of Wei issued the orders, urging soldiers and generals several times to launch a fierce attack towards Dengsai along the direction of the Qingshui embankment. Guan Yu was in a hurry and continued to increase troops based on the advantages of the navy, and expanded the Dengsai camp day and night, forming a strong defense with the camp as the center, with a chain of peripheral sieges, and ten levels of deer antlers.
If you look down from a high place, the Cao army's endless military forces occupied almost every high ground north of the Han River that was exposed to the water. On the high ground, continuous flags covered the sky and the sun; the light of armor and weapons shone, almost breaking through the dark clouds.
The murderous aura of millions of people condensed, like a giant dragon that was dozens of miles long, winding and hovering, and a mere Dengsai was like a jewel played with by a giant dragon.
Although the orb is hard, it is ultimately hard to beat the dragon's sharp claws.
Five days later, Deng Sai's long siege at the outer edge of the outer edge of the siege was broken first. Wu Dang, the general who was guarding this place, was immediately killed in battle. Zeng Xia tried his best to fight to the end. Only more than 300 people in his army were left successfully escaped from the pursuit of Cao's army and entered the cover of the latter siege. Looking at the more than 300 people, almost all of them were injured, and most of them had lost their combat effectiveness.
The next afternoon when the circumference was broken, Cao's army launched another fierce attack. They wanted to cut in from both wings along the direction of the circumference, and then directly attack Dengsai Xiazhai on the banks of the Qingshui River.
At this time, hundreds of drums in the Cao army rumbling, and all the elite troops wearing iron armor approached like waves. The flags they held high fluttered in the wind, as if a sea of ​​clouds were floating.
Standing at the height of Dengsei, looking at it, it seemed as if the undulating rain clouds were coming with wind and thunder, and were about to set off a storm. Their footsteps gathered together, and it seemed that there was thunder brewing in the rain clouds, and it was about to kill all enemies who dared to face the front.
When they rushed into the long encirclement gap, the two sides immediately started a bloody battle. The blood that kept pouring out muddled the ground, the broken swords and the broken swords collapsed high in the air. Wherever the generals of the defenders saw the bodies gradually accumulated on the ground, and the defenders' fronts continued to falter.
"June and Hou, Cao's army's offensive is fierce, how can we deal with it?" All the generals changed their colors when they saw this scene.
Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "The enemy's army has many soldiers. If they are allowed to surround the long-time siege, Deng Sei will definitely be shaken. He must be able to fight with elite soldiers and expel them fiercely!"
It is the most dangerous thing to take on a strong enemy in such a narrow area. Even if you have extraordinary courage, it is difficult to escape.
However, as soon as Guan Yu finished speaking, Zhou Cang left the list: "June, I am willing to go to fight!"
Zeng Xia, whose arm was broken, also shouted: "June, I am willing to go to fight!"
Then Shi He, Shi Ren and other generals gritted their teeth and turned their ruthlessness: "June, we all want to go to fight."
Guan Yu laughed, reached out and held the hilt of the long sword hanging on his waist, and drew the knife in his hand.
The handle and ring of this knife are made of fine iron, with gold-embedded cloud patterns and feathered ornaments. The blade body refined by the fine steel is dark and dull, making it appear that the golden cloud patterns on both sides of the blade are shining brightly, which is breathtaking.
This sword is more than one foot longer than the head sword used by ordinary generals, and is more than four or five times heavier. Ordinary people also make things difficult for both hands. Guan Yu held it with one hand, but it seemed as light as a feather.
Guan Yu gently waved his long sword: "If you fight this kind of fierce battle first, it will be like killing the enemy. Guan must personally get into battle and be a headache for Cao's army! Zhou Cang, you can get the sword and shield hands and follow me to fight!"
As a valuable general, how could he move lightly? All the subordinate generals were shocked. But they only saw Guan Yu's power in their eyes, and they did not dare to say anything to stop him.
In a moment, Guan Yu committed suicide.
Under the cover of dense arrows, Guan Yu swept across the battlefield and rushed forward along Changwei. Although he was walking to fight, his fierce momentum was like a vertical cavalry breaking through.
Along the way, he successively dispersed the team of soldiers led by six remote generals of the Cao army. Many Cao army warriors wearing exquisite armor and with military flags behind him were holding weapons and flocked to stop them, but they were all killed in an instant. No one could stop Guan Yu from stepping.
Guan Yu was so brave that the sword and shield hands behind him were ignited. They shouted in unison, deafeningly. As the shouting, the soldiers violently rammed the Cao army formation regardless of life and death, tearing their defenses apart and crushing them, as if they were destroyed.
After rushing like this, the people who were killed by Guan Yu's troops were all over the place behind him. When Guan Yu stood at the damaged place of Weitou Weitou Changyuan, the battle that seemed to be boiling in the Changxiang was over was over, and the Cao army soldiers who were intending to follow him were shocked and did not dare to do the former.
Guan Yu's eyes were like lightning, and he glanced at Cao's army in front of him. The battlefield hundreds of steps in front of him suddenly became quiet.
Guan Yu snorted coldly and turned back calmly.
Cao's army was frustrated that day and did not dare to attack again.
Back at the camp, Guan Yu stood still and waited for his entourage to help unload his armor. His thick armor was hung with dense arrows, and dozens of traces of knife-cutting and axe-chipping. When the entourage unbuttoned Guan Yu's shoulder armor, he exclaimed immediately.
It turned out that an armor-breaking arrow with a heavier cluster pierced through the shoulder armor and penetrated deep into Guan Yu's upper arm, sank several inches. The injury was very serious, and blood flowed down his arm, dyeing Guan Yu's right palm red.
The entourages quickly called the medical officer to treat him.
After the cleaning was done, everyone retreated, but Shi He stayed.
He was also the Yuan Cong of Youzhou, the king of Hanzhong. He was once the magistrate of Changsha County and had a high status. At this time, he plucked up his courage and said, "June, even if he forced his army to retreat this time, the enemy's troops were too strong, and the place could not be occupied for a long time. It's time to let the navy prepare for it!"
The meaning of this is to persuade Guan Yu to prepare for escape. After saying that, Shi He was sweating all over his head, and he didn't know how Guan Yu would answer.
