Guan Yu has been leading the Henan Army to the west for a while. He led the knights to chase the yellow sky snake flag among the chaotic army, aiming to hunt down Cao Cao's head. Unexpectedly, he was getting closer and closer to Cao Cao.
The farther he got, the more he was greeted by a well-designed trap.
No one in Cao's army's front line could stop Guan Yu, but Guan Yu broke through five formations in a row. No matter how good he was at fighting, he was still a little tired. The situation in front of him was also quietly changing, and the fleeing soldiers in front of him who were defeated by his impact had not yet been defeated.
As they retreated, new infantrymen kept coming up from behind. Some people in the Wei army shouted, "Don't retreat anymore! General Ju's men are behind you!" But the people in front couldn't stop, and the people behind pushed them away again.
If you don't go in, everyone will be crowded together, unable to enter or retreat.
The queue was so dense that it was impossible for Guan Yu to lead his troops to cut through it one after another. He stopped, and while observing the situation back and forth, he ordered his subordinates to shoot arrows in front of them row by row. In order to avoid the arrows, the defeated soldiers in front also
Not caring about so much, he still pushed back with all his strength. However, the situation in the rear was not good. There were only more than a thousand people in Guan Yu's group. They broke through the formation one after another and almost completely broke into Cao's army. Cao's troops were constantly coming from the east and west.
They swarmed behind them, trying to surround Guan Yu.
At the same time, Jushu, who was facing each other, also ordered that anyone who dared to escape beyond the formation be killed. Within a moment, more than ten people were beheaded in succession. Their heads rolled on the ground stained with blood. The defeated soldiers were frightened for a moment, and finally stopped their decline.
With no way to retreat, Jushou sent his subordinates Chen Yu and Guan Tong to take over the defeated troops. They stabilized the military situation and launched another offensive against Guan Yu's troops.
Guan Yu had a panoramic view of all these situations, but his mind was not here at all. He had already seen the Soaring Snake flag. The two-foot-high yellow flag was behind the Jushu tribe. There seemed to be a series of horns in the east, extremely
Like the arrangement of the guard commander, he estimated that the distance was only about two miles. If he led the crowd to attack, it would be the distance that could defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
He then asked Du Yun, who had been accompanying him since Shangluo: "I want to defeat the thief and capture the commander-in-chief. What do you think?"
Du Yun said with a smile: "How can there be an enemy that cannot be captured by the might of the king and the gods? It's just that the bandit army is forming a dense formation now, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to attack!"
Guan Yu sneered and said: "Even if we reorganize a hundred times, we are still a mob! Let us rush south first to defeat the enemy behind us. When these thieves come up, we will rush north again and they will be discouraged."
All done!"
After that, he ordered his entourage to sound the marching horn, and then turned his horse around, drawing a large arc in front of Cao Jun in the north. Suddenly, the thunderous sound of horse hooves mixed with the billowing waves of yellow dust, towards the encircling Cao Jun infantry from the west.
Rush over.
At this time, it was Li Gan's troops on the right wing of Cao's army who came to encircle them. They defeated the Hedong Army and had enough power to surround Guan Yu. Unexpectedly, Guan Yu's counterattack was so swift and violent. While Li Gan was still reorganizing his formation, the Henan knights held long swords.
The swords faced the heavy rain of arrows in the air and scraped across the edge of Cao's army. The infantry of Cao's army who tried to advance could only face the blades with flesh and blood, but the knights relied on the momentum of their horses to make almost every sword.
A famous Cao soldier died. Li Qian was horrified, thinking that Guan Yu was going to directly destroy the right wing, so he could only order his troops to retreat steadily to maintain the front line from being disrupted.
Seeing Cao's army in the west retreating, Guan Yu did not take advantage of the victory to pursue him. Instead, he continued to move his horse, taking advantage of the distance to rest for a while, and then moved from south to north, using his blade to pass through the enemy formation in the east. Blood and flesh flew everywhere for a while. The screams continued.
At this time, Xia Houyuan was setting up the formation in the east. He saw that Guan Yu led his troops to move freely among Cao's army, but there was no enemy under his command. He couldn't help but lost his voice and said: "Is Guan Laohu a real tiger? He is surrounded by me on three sides, how can he be able to do so?" Is that so?" Then he could only follow Li Qian's example and lead his troops to retreat slightly.
Guan Yu saw that neither east nor west dared to engage in battle, so he sneered and stood in the middle again, looking at the Soaring Snake flag in the south. Then he thought in his heart: "It's a pity that I originally admired Meng De, but now I have to take it off with my own hands." His head is dead." After thinking for a moment, he asked loudly to his left and right: "Can we still fight?"
Everyone on the left and right replied: "You can still follow the king and defeat the enemy."
Guan Yu laughed loudly after hearing this, and then pulled himself together, threw down the curled long sword in his hand, replaced it with a long sword from the rider, pulled out all the arrows on the armor one by one, and threw them to the ground. Cao's soldiers He was horrified to find that the armor on this man's body was already riddled with holes, and his body was covered with wet blood. He didn't know whether it was his own or his comrades. Even though he had been fighting for more than two hours, his eyes were still there. Able to shine with divine light, seemingly never tired.
Jushu, who faced him directly, couldn't help but sigh: "It's really the reincarnation of Asura."
Jushou really didn't want to get into trouble with Guan Yu, so he sent someone to advise him: "The king's martial prowess is like that of a heavenly man, unmatched by anyone in the world, but the bravery of an ordinary man cannot change the overall situation. Except for the general, our army has defeated the enemy's formation on three sides, and there are A strange army is coming across the Zhang River. Don't you know that your army has collapsed in the middle of the battle, and Liu Bei's defeat has been determined! We admire your bravery, and if you surrender, we will treat you as honored guests, and we will open a new foundation together. Why bother to increase the number of troops? Killing and seeking death?"
Guan Yu was unaware of the changes in the overall situation. When he heard what Jushu said, he couldn't help but be shocked, but it didn't show on his face. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "You thief, how dare you talk about the overall situation? Don't you know that the destiny belongs to Han? Is righteousness in the west? Now I have come under the king's command, and I will behead you and return!"
Having said that, he no longer thought about what Jushu said, but instead recited silently in his heart: "The ancestors of the Han Dynasty are above, and God's will will bless you! If you help me, Guan Yu, defeat the enemy, I will sacrifice it for him, and my descendants will pray for blessings for a hundred generations, and they will never be determined." Forget!" Then he jumped into the battle again.
Guan Yu led his troops to attack again, but the speed was still as fast as wind and thunder. Seeing Cao's body as tall as a mountain, Cao's soldiers who were facing him couldn't help but were frightened, and they dispersed directly to the left and right. Jushou did not dare to fight with him, so he could only open a way and follow him. The crowd retreated slowly to the west. Guan Yu galloped past and soon saw the scene under Teng She's banner.
Hundreds of steps away, under the flag, dozens of heavily armored infantrymen holding long halberds were guarding one person. The man looked similar to Cao Cao, wearing extremely precious black Mingguang armor, with a lacquered gold Zhongxing sword on his waist. There were four other men on horseback holding halberds, looking directly at him. One of them was a tall man who was nine feet tall and shaped like a black tower. He looked like a rare strong man at first glance, and looked very much like Xu Zhu, the "tiger warrior" mentioned by Zhang Fei.
Unfortunately, there were still hundreds of infantry between him and the flag. Cao Jun behind him still refused to give up the outflank, and at this time, there were only less than 600 knights accompanying him.
Du Yun took the initiative and said to Guan Yu: "I am willing to lead the army and then reject it. I hope that the king will be victorious!"
Guan Yu thought to himself: It was finally time to decide the outcome. He gave Du Yun his 400 Qingqi, and then took off the water bag from his waist. After taking a full sip, he threw the water bag to Du Yun and smiled at him:
"After today, I will drink a stone with you and never return until I'm drunk!" After saying that, he led the last hundred or so heavy cavalry and charged northward.
Xu Zhu had been preparing for a long time. When he saw Guan Yu coming on horseback, he couldn't help but smile to Qin Shao beside him: "The tiger is already in its den, this battle should be won!" Then he rode up to meet the general, accompanied by Le Jin, Du Xi, and Zhu Zhu.
Yue and others also caught up with him and tried to surround him completely.
Before that, the Euphorbia warriors in the front line had already surged up, trying to stab the Han cavalry's horse from the bottom up. However, the Han cavalry was experienced and saw someone approaching, so they stayed close to their comrades and kept turning sideways.
Sweeping the halberd across, the halberd warrior could not get close. However, the halberd warrior's halberd was two feet longer than the ordinary spear halberd. If the Han cavalry could push the tip of the halberd away, he would still be unharmed. If he could not block it, he would be
The halberd pierced the horse's belly, causing the horse to flip over.
Guan Yu saw that he was disadvantaged by being close to him, so he took out the three-stone strong bow and armor-piercing arrows he carried with him, and fired at the euphorbia warriors in the front row. All those who were hit were killed immediately. Cao Bing, who was already full of energy, saw this and was afraid to retreat, and finally
Let Xu Zhu and others come over to kill him.
When Xu Zhu met Guan Yu for the first time, he relied on his superior force. Guan Yu was exhausted from fighting again and did not use any tricks. He hit him with a halberd and vowed to compare his strength with Guan Yu. Unexpectedly, Guan Yu was extremely guarded against him and saw the halberd swing.
Coming, he met him with the tail end of his long spear. When the two collided, Guan Yu immediately released his strength, causing Xu Zhu to hit nothing. Instead, he used his strength to switch the spear pole, and instantly thrust back with the tip of the spear, stabbing him directly.
After catching Xu Zhu's mount, Xu Zhu and his horse were both unbalanced and fell directly to the ground, knocking down two Cangtou guards on the side.
Unfortunately, Guan Yu wanted to seize the opportunity to break out of the encirclement, but unexpectedly, he was hit by Xu Zhu just now, and his mount was exhausted, and then the horse's hooves got stuck in the mire and could not be pulled out for a while. The infantry and knights of Cao's army gathered and raised their halberds in chaos.
Stab. Guan Yu couldn't block it and was hit several times.
He looked to the left and right, thinking: There were only dozens of steps away, how could he die here? So he made up his mind, shouted and poked the horse, the horse burst out in pain, and rushed up with wet mud. Cao Cao nearby
The soldiers had no time to escape, and were trampled to death under the horses' hooves. The cavalry also came to disperse the surrounding Cao soldiers, and he took the opportunity to run towards the banner.
At this change, the surrounding generals of Cao's army did not have time to react. Everyone around him said that Guan Yu was exhausted and it was time for our army to completely win. Who would have expected that he would still be able to rise up bravely, ride his horse more than ten steps, and directly kill Guan Yu?
In front of Qin Shao, Qin Shao wanted to turn around and escape, but it was too late. Guan Yu stabbed with all his strength, and the tip of the spear penetrated the iron armor and nailed Qin Shao to the ground. Blood flowed out, no different from ordinary people. Guan Yu turned over and dismounted, feeling dizzy for a while, but he still cheered up, took out his knife, lifted the bun of the corpse on the ground, and was about to cut off Cao Cao's head. As soon as he exerted force, the head and torso were neatly separated.
When he came down, there was silence all around, which made Guan Yu want to laugh. But when he took a serious look at the head in his hand, he couldn't laugh anymore.
At this time, Guan Yu finally understood that he had made a mistake. Looking back at the influx of Cao's soldiers behind him and the struggling troops in the crowd, Guan Yu felt dizzy again and his ears were ringing. He coughed twice and finally passed out. p>
