Chapter 79 Wu Zun and Loyalty
Huo Jun resisted to death, and Huang Zhong held the enemy to fight.
The soldiers used their lives, but the officers died. In addition, this time, Liu Mingjun mobilized 200,000 people to attack. Guan Yu's only 80,000 people had to temporarily avoid his edge without being able to defend himself.
Back in the camp, Guan Yu was very unhappy about Huang Zhong's sudden arrival today.
If Huang Zhong came half an hour later, Shangyong would have fallen into his hands. But the other party was so accurate that he launched an attack the moment he broke through the city gate, which made him passive.
Deputy General Yan Yan and Pang De also fought for thirty rounds. One relied on his experience and the other relied on his youth to kill someone who was not sure of the outcome. However, anyone with discerning eyes could see that Yan Yan was still not as good as the young Pang De.
Not to mention Guan Ping, he fought with Huo Junbu for more than 300 moves, but he didn't take him down. As Guan Ping's adoptive father, Guan Yu still knew the strength of his adopted son. If he had more than 50 moves, Huo Jun would definitely be taken down by him. Unfortunately, he and Yan Yan couldn't stop him. Guan Ping was implicated and could only retreat with regret.
To be really unhappy, there is not nothing to be happy about.
At least I met an opponent who could fight with real swords and guns, especially with Huang Zhong's reputation and status, if I could defeat him, I could win the world's number one in martial arts. In this way, I finally reached a peak in life that others could not reach.
Speaking of Huang Zhong, Guan Yu's shoulder began to hurt again. He touched the wound that had stopped bleeding. Guan Yu had to sincerely affirm the effect of Taoist secret medicine.
At least it was enough to kill today, and Guan Yu no longer cared about it. He went out to soothe the soldiers' emotions and encouraged their morale well, and then went back to the camp to rest.
"General Guan, it seems that his complexion has improved a lot." A cold voice came.
"If you have time to care, you will get the help of your secret medicine." Guan Yu replied expressionlessly. In fact, anyone could tell that Guan Yu was very dissatisfied with the owner of this voice.
"We are all comrades, and the lord has officially accepted the support of our three sects, so our secret medicine will naturally be open to you." The voice may have been used to it for a long time, and it is still so cold.
"I don't know if the military advisor has something to do. If nothing happens, the sky is dark and it's time to rest." Guan Yu said casually.
"There is a little serious matter to discuss with you. If you do it well, Shangyong will fall to you tomorrow. It's hard to say that many senior generals such as Huang Zhong were either captured or killed, and they were a great achievement." Daoheng, who is now a military advisor of Liu Bei's army, said to Guan Yu with a cold smile.
"What are you doing wrong?" Guan Yu was very unhappy, but he had to listen to the matters that mattered.
"Simple, if you continue to fight the general tomorrow, and fight for two rounds, then take the opportunity to turn around and attack Shangyong. At that time, whether it is Huang Zhong or other generals under Liu Ming, you will definitely be at a loss. This gives us disciples of the Natural Sect a chance to find the right opportunity to end it with one move or take them personally.
At that time, the other party has no leader. How you should control the general is not a matter of one sentence. Whether it is to directly defeat Shangyong or turn around and destroy Liu Ming's army, it will not be a problem." Daoheng smiled sinisterly.
"This..." Guan Yu hesitated, or was really depressed.
I compete with others, but then turn around and leave. Isn’t this a scene where a coward has retreated? Well, let’s not talk about whether this is a shameful thing. After all, sacrifices are necessary for the overall situation.
But in this way, a peak battle has become a scheming?
Guan Yu was really hesitant. You should know that standing at the peak of China in terms of force is one of his few dreams. Who wouldn’t want to prove to the world that he is the real number one in the world?
Besides, a powerful general will only be mentioned in history at most, and there will be nothing to say; while a martial saint can be recorded in history and allow people all over the world to witness their existence forever.
Guan Yu's self-esteem is much stronger than that of ordinary people, or he has a sense of arrogance. It can also be said that all martial arts practitioners in the world have that kind of arrogance, and it is not unreasonable to "no martial arts second".
"Let's talk about those things for now. If you can think of them, can others not think of them?" Guan Yu considered a possibility.
"The other party naturally considered that we would design to deal with them, but for the disciples of the Natural Sect who had hidden themselves and almost no one could find them, I was afraid that the other party might not be able to be wary of it." Daoheng had strong confidence.
That's right. No one would have thought that in the huge army, no one could notice the specific situation of each soldier, let alone the disciples of the Natural Sect hidden in it. They were just a group of ghosts who could quietly come to the target and give a fatal blow.
Well, we must consider it carefully. If Huang Zhong and others can be captured, Liu Mingjun will be without a leader and the 200,000 troops will probably become a big piece of fat, just waiting for him to stutter.
Eating the 200,000 army in one bite, even if you can only eat 50,000 or 60,000 of them, including the general's losses, should also hurt Liu Ming, which will be of great help to his elder brother's great cause.
On the one hand, it is loyalty and righteousness, and on the other hand, it is the dignity of a warrior. Guan Yu knew that he had to make a choice.
The next day, the large army assembled again, and the two sides confronted each other outside Shangyong City.
The gate of Shangyong City has been destroyed, and the powerful craftsmen cannot repair it overnight. However, Huang Zhong and others did not intend to repair it, but just used a large army to guard the city wall and the city gate behind them.
"There are good horses." Huang Zhong looked at the war horse under Guan Yu's crotch and joked.
"This should be what I want to ask." Guan Yu smiled.
In fact, he knew that Liu Ming was the one who was the one who was the most in short supply of war horses in the north.
The war horses you sit down can reach this level by using Taoist secret techniques, and I am afraid that you will have to retire after only one or two years at most. However, the war horses under the opponent's crotch are truly excellent war horses. They should have been carefully selected and carefully cultivated to achieve a state that is not inferior to their own war horses.
"Will you come or not?" Huang Zhong was still very interested in defeating Guan Yu.
"I'm afraid you won't dare." Guan Yu rode his horse and killed him.
"So brave." Huang Zhong happily rode his horse and greeted him.
"Clang clang." Both sides passed by, and immediately there were two moves.
After a night of rest, both sides returned to their best state, which was not a good thing for Guan Yu. After all, Huang Zhong had been tired of boats before, and his combat effectiveness naturally dropped by about 20% or 30%.
He had been injured here. Although he had stopped bleeding and had scabbed, he could not return to his full state. Therefore, after those two moves, Guan Yu felt Huang Zhong's terrible combat power, and his hands were a little sore at this moment.
"The strength is three points higher than yesterday. Is this Huang Zhong's real strength?" Guan Yu turned around while riding a horse and silently assessed in his heart.
"Kill." There was no extra word, and the two sides turned around and launched another attack.
"Clang, dang." As the two of them passed by, Huang Zhong's helmet was swept away, and Guan Yu was not much better, and his thigh was also twitched by a big knife.
Perhaps it was because it injured the artery in the thigh, and the blood was flowing at a very fast speed.
Obviously, Huang Zhong also carefully evaluated the fighting method today. He knew that the combat power of the two was similar. He did not consider his combat power after recovery and the damage caused by Guan Yu's shoulder injury. If he wanted to fight quickly, the best way was to further weaken him.
The best way is to help him bleed. After all, even a cultivator who has reached the limit will die as long as there is no blood in his body.
Therefore, he tried to give him some advice in the danger of being beheaded by Guan Yu. The facts proved that he succeeded. Guan Yu was injured in his thigh. If he could not stop the bleeding immediately, he would likely die of excessive blood loss.
"Come again." Guan Yu had no intention of withdrawing the troops, and rode his horse and turned around and shouted.
"Boy, don't go back and stop the bleeding again." Huang Zhong asked jokingly.
"Hmph, it's not too late to go back after you kill." Guan Yu still had the strength at this moment, but he knew that he had the strength to hit at most twice. If two moves were not enough, he had to exercise Daoheng's plan.
The dignity of a warrior, he didn't know why at this moment, was the most urgent hope to be proved.
Within two moves, you must take Huang Zhong's life.
