The bloody setting sun filled the sky, once again dyeing the bloody battlefield red.
On one side, Zhang Liao defends the formation, and on the other side, Guan Yu rushes into the formation.
It only takes a moment.
Smoke and dust billowed, and a broken Han military flag caught the eyes of countless people.
Under the leadership of Guan Yu, the Guan family army of less than a thousand men broke out of the siege...
This is Guan Yu's most elite bodyguard...
The flying military flag with the word "Guan" still stands, the broken stomach, the blood-stained robes, the galloping horses, there are less than a thousand people, but Zhang Liao and the chasing Xu Huang frightened every soldier in Cao's camp.
.
"Isn't this how Xiang Yu, the overlord, fought his way out of the siege back then?"
Xu Huang sighed...
Zhang Liao on the other side was silent. Standing on the slope, he could naturally see the "God of War" leading the fleeing enemy cavalry!
Especially the long beard, the green robe he wore after the armor was broken, and... the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, are really... a bit eye-catching.
However, at this moment, he... seems to have lost the "powerful China" edge he once had!
In despair...Guan Gong!
After being a general for so many years, Zhang Liao's heart has long been poured with iron, and it is difficult for him to feel joy, anger, sorrow...
But at this moment, seeing Guan Yu fleeing and the hero feeling miserable, Zhang Liao couldn't help but shed tears.
"Yun Chang, Yun...Yun Chang!"
…
…
The surrender of Mi Fang, Meng Da, and Liu Feng was not the last straw that broke the camel's back, but it... forced the camel into a desperate situation.
There are no reinforcements, no food and fodder... there are enemies everywhere!
Returning to Xichuan, returning to Yiling... is already an impossible task.
Maicheng…
After fleeing all the way, Guan Yu entered Maicheng with his remaining 300 cavalry.
This ancient city, located between the Ju and Zhang rivers, is destined to be famous for thousands of years because of its name "Guan Yu Guan Yunchang".
At this time...Guan Yu's army has run out of food and support...
Staying is just delaying death!
"Breakout!"
After a short rest, Guan Yu in Maicheng gave an order, and the exhausted soldiers seemed to have instinctively boosted their morale. They worked hard to push themselves up and get on their horses.
"I'll take you back to Yiling!"
"kill!"
A hoarse but firm voice came out of Guan Yu's mouth... The three hundred knights knocked their horses' bellies with their feet and charged towards the enemy troops besieging Maicheng with a fierce and ferocious air.
"shoot!"
Lu Xundan's voice...
"Boom boom boom!"
There was a huge roar, and a spear-like crossbow was shot out from the chariot.
Repeating crossbow chariot, a powerful weapon of three people working together, the crossbow cannot fire hundreds of steps, and the crossbow string is pulled by a windlass. It originated from Mohist Tiangong, but unfortunately it has been lost...
Fortunately, according to Lu Yu's drawings, the workshop successfully completed the assembly and suddenly appeared in the world, which is absolutely invincible.
really…
Under the charge of the vast iron cavalry, the missing arrow was like thunder that shook the world. With a "buzz" sound, a black light passed by Guan Yu's side, and the strong wind ripped out made him take a breath of air.
Pfft…
Zhang Zhang's crossbow pierced through the general beside him. The huge impact and the terrifying power of the crossbow tore the general apart in an instant... However, the speed of the crossbow did not slow down, and it passed through three or four cavalry in a row.
Nail a war horse into the earth.
this…
Guan Yu frowned.
At this moment, he realized...
The huge gap in ordnance between Bashu and Wei has turned into a gap that cannot be bridged by strength.
"Gudong..."
Not only Guan Yu, every knight of the Guan family army swallowed their saliva subconsciously...
Immediately afterwards, terror came.
Crossbows were shot out from the chariot, and the black light passed through the strong wind... and a whistling sound was heard, like the cry of heaven and earth!
The next moment, more soldiers were torn apart and their blood was spilled on the battlefield!
Even...many people were hung on crossbows nailed into the ground, and their holes were filled with the fear of death.
In less than a moment…
Guan Yu has already lost more than half of his troops!
"retreat!"
"Quickly retreat!"
Guan Yu turned the horse's head, and at this moment...
After all, he also felt the breath of death. If he continued like this... the brothers would be dead!
Can't all of the more than 30,000 people brought out from Yiling go back?
Looking at the other side…
Lu Xun squinted at the gate of Maicheng.
Beside him, Zhou Yu walked slowly...
Looking at Guan Yujun's back, he sighed: "Is this Maicheng... the final chapter of Guan Yunchang?"
Lu Xun didn't answer, but he knew clearly...
Not a single bird can fly out of Maicheng today!
…
…
"Haha...hahaha!"
Guan Yu, who was on the tower of Maicheng, suddenly... looked at the ballista of the Wei army below the tower, and he smiled.
Smiling miserably...the voice is sad.
"Commander Father..." Guan Ping called Guan Yu urgently, but Guan Yu turned around and looked around at every soldier beside him. There was still fear in their eyes that had not dissipated.
Not only them, but also Guan Yu. He looked pale, looked at his hands that were still shaking slightly, and said bitterly: "When the missing crossbow whizzed past my ears, Guan didn't even have the courage to raise the Qinglong Yanyue Sword to stop it. The soldiers were so weak.
The stomach is meaningless, and it wasn’t until each of my brothers died in battle that I came back to my senses!”
this…
Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Guan Ping, Wang Fu...they were all stunned.
rarely seen…
No, to be precise, they have never seen General Guan so inflated the ambition of others and destroyed his own prestige.
"General Guan, now... we must find a remedy. We will run out of food and support, and stick to Maicheng... also... also..."
Wang Fu's words seemed very heartbreaking.
But Guan Yu's answer was even more heartbreaking.
"There is no way to save the day! That Cao Yu is many times more powerful than he was back then, but I, Guan Yu... have been stuck in my ways these past years!"
Guan Yu's eyes were filled with despair, and his voice became increasingly sad.
At this moment...this situation, he has just seen through everything. When fighting against an opponent of Cao Yu's level, he cannot make any small mistakes, because...any mistakes will be exploited by him and continuously amplified.
It's like a dam being eaten by termites...often as long as one part collapses, the entire dam will instantly collapse and be riddled with holes!
"Father is handsome..."
"Junhou..."
No matter who was calling Guan Yu, Guan Yu didn't say a word. He just stared at the Wei army outside the city and recalled... that year.
Before the Battle of Guandu... Lu Yu designed it, and Guan Yu captured Yan Liang and executed Wen Chou...
It was also during this battle that Guan Yu was awarded the title of Hou Tinghou of the Han Dynasty, and Lu Yu was awarded the title of "Marquis of White Horse"... The past is like smoke, but today... Hou Ting of Han Dynasty is probably going to become a stepping stone for the "Marquis of White Horse" to continue to move forward!
…
…
Outside Maicheng, there is a large tent of the Chinese army.
"Captain Lu, Governor Zhou...the troops of General Xu Huang and General Zhang Liao have arrived..."
"The two governors, General Ma Chao and the Xiliang cavalry have arrived and are clamoring to compete with Guan Yu!"
"Two governors, the flying ball camp has been put in place, and the people in Maicheng have been moved out. Maicheng can be burned down at any time..."
One voice after another passed into the Chinese army's tent and into the ears of Lu Xun and Zhou Yu.
In the large tent at this moment, Lu Meng, Ling Tong, Gan Ning, Tai Shi Ci, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, and Xu Sheng were standing in order...each general's eyes were shining.
It seems that the matter of annihilating Guan Yu is sharpening the sword!
At the beginning, the flooding of Jiangling... brought such a shock to the world. Now... this shock will be brought back again after Guan Yu is strangled.
Everyone is ready to go...looking forward to such a shocking moment!
"Two governors, please give the order!"
Lu Meng handed over...
All of this will eventually come to an end.
Lu Xun and Zhou Yu looked at each other. Zhou Yu stood aside and said, "Bo Yan is the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy personally appointed by His Majesty. It is up to Boyan to give this order!"
"That being the case..." Lu Xun planned to issue the final siege order.
It's not difficult...
Now there are no soldiers and no food in Maicheng. It is no exaggeration to say that Guan Yu's current situation is at the end of his strength... He is not as good as Xiang Yu at Wujiang... He has no chance at all.
"The whole army obeys the order!"
"Wait a minute!"
at this time…
A loud voice resounded from outside the account.
Everyone was startled... turned their heads and looked at the entrance of the big tent. Appearing in front of them was a tall and round man. Who else could it be besides Xu Chu.
"General Xu?" Lu Xun asked...
Xu Chu took out a piece of imperial edict from his arms first, "The Governor of Lu should read your majesty's edict before issuing military orders..."
this…
Lu Xun took the edict.
Xu Chu reminded: "There are still two Yunchang's 'friends' who have not arrived yet. Your Majesty, please ask Governor Lu to postpone for three days, can you?"
You will be away, and you will not give me your orders...
It is precisely because of this that Xu Chu's tone was very modest and completely consultative.
Lu Xun slowly unfolded the edict. It would have been better not to unfold it. As soon as he unfolded it, he immediately saw two names... two names that shocked him.
"They...all...are coming?"
Lu Xun asked anxiously.
Xu Chu answered truthfully, "Yes!"
call…
With a heavy exhale, Lu Xun understood at this moment that Guan Yu... Guan Yu, who was so powerful in China, was not all bound to Bashu, but also many to Wei!
Lu Xun handed over his hand and said, "I will obey your Majesty's will and attack Maicheng again in three days!"
…
…
One day later, the lights were brightly lit in the government office in Maicheng.
Guan Yu held "Spring and Autumn" in one hand, his eyes a little dodgey.
This time... the chapter opened in "Spring and Autumn" is - Cao Hu's Controversy.
"One burst of energy will weaken again, and three times it will be exhausted... He will be exhausted and I will be full, so I will overcome it!"
Guan Yu murmured...
When I read this, the autumn wind blew in my face, and the candlelight in the house flickered. Zhou Cang walked in with a pot of wine, "I finally found a pot of wine in Maicheng. Under the rule of the king, drinking was not allowed during the war.
But I still want to send it to you!"
Guan Yu turned over on the bench. If it were normal, he would definitely break the wine jar to signal to the three armies that alcohol is not allowed in the army!
But this time... Guan Yu took the wine jar, opened it... and took a swig.
Zhou Cang helped Guan Yu put on his messy cloak, and then said solemnly: "The last general has been following the prince for several years. In the meantime, the world has changed, the great Han is gone, and the prince and your majesty hold high the slogan 'Han and traitors are not at odds'
, I want to return to the north of the king's army... but in the end it cannot change the fact that Wei is strong and Shu is weak..."
Speaking of this, Zhou Cang was full of sentimentality...
Guan Yu handed him the wine, and Zhou Cang took a sip. Immediately, there were two long "Alas... alas..."!
Guan Yu opened his mouth and asked, "Yuanfu, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"
this…
Zhou Cang lowered his head slightly, "I left home when I was young. At that time, I always wanted to leave my hometown and escape the control of my parents and relatives. But now, what I miss most is still my hometown. If there are any unfulfilled wishes, Zhou Cang wants to go back."
Take a look at my hometown in Shanxi, take a look at my mother, take a look at my eldest sister, take a look..."
At the end of the story, this dark-faced and bearded man from Kansai actually shed tears.
And these tears also made Guan Yu feel the same.
"My hometown is Xieliang, Hedong... I haven't been back for decades..." Guan Yu groaned softly.
After finishing the sentence, Guan Yu patted Zhou Cang on the shoulder and said, "Just this pot of wine, let the brothers drink some, and say it is my royal lord's special permission..."
"Well...hey..." Zhou Cang's answer contained a lot of vibrato.
Tread...tread...
As Zhou Cang left, Guan Yu held the handrail, his eyes full of memories.
That year, he was still the immortal of Xie Liangguan in Hedong;
That year, he was still in love with a girl from Xieliang in Hedong;
That year, in order to save the girl, he killed the bully with a knife as a nurse...
That year, he was no longer called Guan Changsheng, but changed his name to Guan Yunchang!
The sun shone through the window. This was the second day of Maicheng's siege. Guan Ping hurried into the lobby and looked at his father's red eyes, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
"how?"
Guan Yu asked softly.
Guan Ping gritted his teeth, "Last night, more than thirty brothers secretly opened the city gate...and escaped, escaped!"
"Father knows!" Guan Yu stood up holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, "It doesn't matter if you surrender, at least you won't die here, at least you can return to your hometown... At least you can see what kind of world Cao Yu will build?"
"Father…"
Guan Ping didn't know what to say.
Guan Yu waved his hand and said hoarsely: "Today is the second day. Please let someone open the city gate. If anyone wants to surrender to Cao Yu, let them take off their armor and stomach and go out of the city to surrender. There is no need to surrender for a defeated general."
Guan Yun lost his life because of his long life!"
"Father!" Guan Ping's eyes were full of disbelief.
"Haha..." Guan Yu laughed, "Ping'er, my father is old, but you are still young. If you want to live, my father will only blame himself, and he will never blame you!"
"Father!" Guan Ping's eyes were firm, "Protect the court and the country, be filial and loyal, and the child will follow his father until his death!"
Another night…
Wang Fu found a jar of wine from nowhere and planned to bring it to Guan Yu.
But when he entered the main hall of the government office, he saw Guan Yu looking down at "Spring and Autumn", but there were many vertical and horizontal ravines on his cheeks...
"Junhou!"
"You surrender too!" Guan Yu said first.
"Junhou, I..."
"I know you are loyal to me!" Guan Yu continued: "But a person's life is not only about loyalty, but also about filial piety. Your parents, wife and children are still alive. If you die, what will they do? I, Guan Yu, can let you down.
, but how can I let down your family again?"
this…
The reason why Wang Fu came today was because of this struggle. Now that Guan Yu had pointed it out, he felt a lot more relieved.

"Go on, surrender... tell the Wei army outside the city that Guan Mou is open at the gate of Maicheng. If Guan Mou's life is at stake, Guan Mou will be with you at any time!"
At the end of the sentence, with a bang, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword hit the ground heavily, and a gap opened in the ground...
"Junhou!"
"Let's go, I won't see you off anymore!"
"Here...here!" Wang Fu bowed his hands in a solemn salute, then turned around and led more than ten people out of the city gate.
On that day…
The scattered Guan family troops gathered together in a line... When they walked out of Maicheng, there were five people and ten people. In just a few hours, there were no more than a hundred people stationed in Maicheng.
"Father, there is... no food left!" Guan Ping reported!
"Stop..."
"Everyone surrender!"
Guan Yu did not reply to Guan Ping's words, but just sighed softly, as if he was trapped in some kind of demonic state.
at this time…
"Dad...Dad..."
An exciting female voice came from behind Guan Yu and Guan Ping. It was just such a female voice that made Guan Yu withdraw his thoughts from the sky.
"But…"
"But…"
I don't know whether it was surprise or fright, but for a moment... Guan Yu's words became stuttered.
