When the two armies faced each other, there was smoke and fire everywhere, and the fighting was fierce. But when the two generals Zhang Rao and Guan Yu came together to fight, they immediately attracted the attention of the whole audience.
Regardless of whether we are the enemy or ourselves, almost everyone knows that a general is the courage of a soldier, and a commander is the soul of an army.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, when fighting generals appeared, although it was a bit ridiculous, in fact, the success or failure of thousands of armies depended only on the duel between two people.
Although Guan Yu's reputation has long been immortalized, even though few of his old subordinates who believed in Zhang Rao the most believed that he would definitely defeat Guan Yu, Zhang Rao didn't even go through two or three rounds before he died in the rain of blood.
The horse fell off the horse, but it was still like a bolt from the blue. Everyone on the top of the city was stunned and could not move.
"Qu handsome..."
"Shuai Qu was killed in battle!"
When everyone woke up from their sluggish state, a few couldn't help but cry out, their voices filled with disbelief, despair and helplessness.
If the bystanders in the distance were like this, then the Heavenly Army trapped in Guan Yu's army would naturally be even more shocked.
Once the news of the general's death spread, it was almost like an invisible rope that tied down the heavenly army who had been fighting bravely just now.
Almost instantly, many of the cavalrymen let out screams of pain, probably because they were distracted. The Heavenly Army who had just paused in their hands was cut off by the surrounding Guan Yujun.
At the same time, one thing is going away and the other is going to grow. When the morale of the heavenly army is frustrated, seeing Guan Yu being so brave and invincible, everyone in the enemy army is in high spirits. The number of people who already have an absolute advantage becomes more and more prominent. They all move towards the only remaining ones.
The heavenly armies from all walks of life quickly gathered together, and their killing shouts shook the sky.
But the heavenly army is not comparable to ordinary armies after all!
Today, in addition to the strength granted by the system, countless victories have already changed their spirit and spirit a lot.
"Don't let Major Zhang's body be insulted by thieves!"
"Take back the body!"
Not knowing where the strength came from, a uncle immediately shouted: "Follow me!" He immediately slapped his horse and rushed towards the position of the general.
Upon hearing these words, countless heavenly troops whose formations had been cut apart, no matter where they were at the moment, nodded at the same time and rushed over with red eyes.
Seeing countless black spots all moving towards one place at once, Guan Yu's eyes finally showed a different look for the first time.
That's surprise.
The enemy generals are all dead. Instead of fleeing or being defeated, these bandits...
Want to take back the general's body?
Seeing those heavenly troops quickly tearing apart their own army's defense line, they rushed to the place where Zhang Rao was killed, and even grabbed the body in their hands. Several Guan Yu soldiers were immediately in a panic. How could they take back Guan Sima's loot?
?
As they rushed forward to snatch it back, they saw a dozen other black-armored cavalry blocking their way. Everyone's eyes were red and firm.
These thieves are a bit interesting.
At this time, Guan Yu, who had already rode back to the front line of the main army, smiled solemnly and suddenly shouted: "Bring the bow!"
The soldiers threw a big bow over. As soon as Guan Yu took it, he lowered his waist and stretched out his arms, nocked an arrow and stretched the bow until the string was like the full moon. However, he held it down without firing, and only stared at the man in the distance who was holding Zhang Rao's body.
Heavenly Army.
Compared to his godlike and amazing sword skills, his archery skills are only pretty good, and it takes some effort to aim.
After a while, it seemed that he was finally sure, and Guan Yu narrowed his eyes again.
The next moment, a thunderous shout suddenly sounded.
"die!"
Immediately, a ray of black light flew out from the string, and with a sharp roar that broke through the air, it directly cut through a long distance and hit the heavenly army in the middle.
After a scream, the man fell off the horse along with Zhang Rao's body and was nailed to the ground.
"Guan Sima is so powerful that he is unparalleled!"
"The General is truly a god!"
Amid the cheers around him, Guan Yu had a calm look on his face. He watched his soldiers in the distance engulfing the group of black-armored cavalry like a tide. He thought that with another blow, these bandits who were trapped in a tight siege would not have the fighting spirit to resist.
?
He no longer focused on looking there, and returned his gaze to Wuyuan City in front of him, waved his hand and ordered:
"Intensify the siege immediately!"
"Here!"
...
But things once again exceeded Guan Yu's expectations.
The body was found and lost, and fell into the hands of the enemy again...
Coupled with Guan Yu's earth-shattering arrow, if it had been any other army in this world, it might indeed have lost all fighting spirit and lost all fighting spirit.
But it was this arrow that reminded those heavenly troops of something!
They are the subordinates of General Tiangong!
Compared to the general's almost miraculous spear-throwing skill, no matter the momentum, power or accuracy, what does this arrow mean?
It’s like a small witch is compared to a big witch!
"Get it back for me!"
"Otherwise, how can we face the general?"
Amidst the shouts, a Du Bo once again took the lead and rushed towards the Guan Yu army who had snatched Zhang Rao's body. Just as he rushed to the side of Zhang Rao's body, two Guan Yu soldiers stopped the Du Bo and thrust out two spears at the same time.
Bo castrated too hastily and had no weapons in his hands. He pulled the reins of the horse and as soon as the horse stood still, two spears from Guan Yu's army had penetrated into the chest of the horse.
What a good uncle, before the horse fell, he kicked out with both feet and got out of the stirrup. Several Guan Yu soldiers around him were about to step forward and strangle them, but they heard the sound of wind, and a battle ax circled past their heads, but it was
Seeing the critical situation, the Heavenly Army behind him directly threw a weapon over.
It's just that Uncle Dub has fallen off his horse now. How can he get the ax thrown so high?
At this time, there was another "bang", and the Guan Yu soldiers couldn't help but look up. They saw a short arrow hitting the big axe. The ax suddenly lost its circling momentum. Although it still flew forward, the height was reduced.
It suddenly dropped a lot, and at the same time there was another urgent cry: "Old Wang, keep going!"
It turned out that Uncle Du was the old soldier Wang Xiong who had talked with Wang Zheng at the foot of Liuhe Mountain before.
He is brave by nature and is not afraid of death in every battle. The reason why he was injured and broke his leg that day was because when he was an infantry, he faced the Guangling Army cavalry charging head-on, but he still stepped forward to block it without hesitation. Now he has been promoted and has become a cavalryman.
, but not reduced at all.
In Wang Xiong's view, Zhang Rao was not only the former Qingzhou Yellow Turban Canal Commander, but now also a capable general under General Tiangong. Even if he died, he could not be insulted after death, so he was almost the first one to cry out for robbery.
The one who returned to the corpse, and when the others were shocked by Guan Yu's arrow, charged towards Guan Yu's army fearlessly again.
Even though he had been fighting almost alone before, now that he saw his comrades behind him all following him, he felt even more determined.
Hearing a loud shout, he grabbed the tomahawk he threw and rushed forward.
It just so happened that the few Guan Yu troops who had just attacked in front were all cavalry, and they all stood very high. In addition, Gao Xiong spent much more time as an infantry than as a cavalry. When he was down-to-earth, he was more experienced. While their spears were still stabbing,
On the horse, without saying a word, he struck the horse on the far left with an axe.
It was the enemy who snatched Zhang Rao's body!
When the ax fell, the enemy immediately let out a shocking cry, and immediately fell backwards with both men and horses. Kaohsiung didn't even look at the enemy, but immediately put aside the axe, trying to grab Zhang Rao
's corpse.
Sima Du took action for the second time. If these yellow scarf thieves were allowed to snatch the body, would they still have the nerve to see him?
The other cavalryman who was closest to him took the lead and took over the body. Seeing Wang Xiong rushing over like a tiger, he felt timid and did not dare to fight. He dragged Zhang Rao's body back and retreated. At the same time, another
Several cavalrymen waved their spears and swords to stop Wang Xiong. Just as they were about to take action, they heard a whooshing sound and three or four arrows hit them at the same time.
But at this time, many heavenly troops had followed. Seeing that the enemy dared to make trouble, they immediately helped him take care of it.
"Old Wang, are you okay?"
"There's something about the hammer!" Wang Xiong didn't even have time to thank him for saving his life. He just looked at the rider in front and shouted: "Hurry up and catch up!"
"If we let this guy return to the brigade, we really won't be able to get Major Zhang's body back!"
Immediately, the Heavenly Army charged together again, all rushing towards the Guan Yu army. It seemed that it was because of their excessive weight. The cavalry horses were not running very fast. Not long after, the two sides were fighting together again. At this time, the Heavenly Army
Almost all the remaining hundreds of cavalrymen gathered here, and many people from Guan Yu's army came to support them.
Wang Xiong once again approached Zhang Rao's body.
Seeing his crazy look, Guan Yujun was startled and held Zhang Rao's head between his arms again, dragging him backwards. Zhang Rao grabbed Zhang Rao's feet, and the ax in his right hand flew out.
At this moment, Zhang Rao, a dead man, is more important than his own life!
Of course, with other heavenly troops around, Wang Xiong also believed that he could just grab the corpse and someone would help him block the attacks of other enemies.
When Guan Yujun saw Wang Xiong's big ax flying towards him, he was frightened. He loosened his hands as if instinctively and turned his head to avoid it. Wang Xiong originally pulled Zhang Rao's body with all his strength, but this time he was pushed backwards.
As soon as he leaned up, he almost fell off the horse.
Oh shit!
Cursing secretly in his heart, Wang Xiong managed to stabilize his body and was about to drag Zhang Rao's body over again when he saw that Guan Yujun refused to let go, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
He snorted coldly, grabbed the armor of the corpse, and chopped it off with a knife, actually cutting off Zhang Rao's head.
"How dare you, the thief!"
Wang Xiong flew into a rage and shouted. Just when he was about to rush forward and take back Zhang Rao's head, he saw the cavalry suddenly retreating and dodged into the group of soldiers who were rushing up. Before retreating, he actually faced Zhang Rao.
He smiled disdainfully.
Ah ah ah ah ah!
Wang Xiong's face was distorted with anger, and just as he was about to continue charging, he heard a cry from behind again: "Old Wang, we can't chase anymore!"
Wang Xiong turned his head, only to see the Japanese army pointing behind him and shouting eagerly: "The main force of the thieves just went to attack the city. I feel that we have few people and have no time to take care of it, so we can catch up here..."
"Look now, the city gates have been opened. If we don't retreat, we won't be able to retreat!"
"We will retreat if we can't retreat!" Wang Xiong shouted: "Major Zhang's head must be taken back!"
"The most important thing now is to inform the general of the news!"
With that said, the Japanese army directly grabbed Wang Xiong and said at the same time: "Let's retreat quickly!"
...
Before leaving Wuyuan, Wang Xiong glanced behind him. On the vast plain, there were corpses of Guan Yu's army, Tian army, and Yellow Turban army staggered.
There are also those broken weapons, mutilated limbs, broken heads, and scattered flesh and blood mixed together to form a layer of weird color, which seems to cover the land with a layer, making it impossible to see the original appearance.
Blood flowed everywhere, including Wang Xiong and the heavenly troops around him. At this time, blood clots were also condensed on the armor, like a black and red cloak on the armor.
Wang Xiong and his colleagues have seen this kind of scene countless times this year.
But only this time, they are the losers!
After looking around, Wang Xiong became more and more angry. The five hundred heavenly army when they left the city, but after the battle, there were not even a hundred riders left!
How have they ever been defeated since they fought against the general?
Never has it ever failed so miserably!
He looked at the city in the distance. At this time, the flags there had changed. A big red flag with the word "Guan" engraved on it was fluttering in the wind, proudly!
...
Wang Xiong and his party originally headed southeast, thinking of taking a shortcut to Xiapi, but this was the route taken by Guan Yu's army, and sentries and cavalry were arranged to intercept them along the way.
No matter how capable they were of fighting, after all, everyone was injured and their numbers were at a disadvantage. After several times, they lost more than thirty riders.
Wang Xiong and others are not afraid of death, but if they continue like this, where can they meet General Tiangong and inform him of this urgent military situation so that the general will be alert?
We had to change lanes halfway and go to Lu County first.
Naturally, it takes a long distance to go to Lu County, but compared to Wuyuan, Lu County has an extra waterway leading to Xiapi. Calculating this, it won't delay much time.
As soon as they arrived outside the moat of Lu County City, the city gate had been closed early. Although their group was not very large, they could tell at a glance that they were soldiers, so the Lu County defenders naturally did not dare to be careless.
It wasn't until both parties were able to identify themselves during the question and answer session, and someone even recognized Wang Xiong, that the city gate slowly opened.
Wang Xiong and others did not remove Zhang Rao's headless body from his shoulders until they reached the top of the city, and handed it to a man with a rough face.
The man held Zhang Rao's body and was stunned for a long time, then suddenly cried out.
"He's handsome!"
Following this cry, in addition to the guard and the dozens of people around him, more than 300 soldiers knelt down on the city wall and started crying as well, heartbreakingly.
"He's handsome!"
The guard was very young, and his face was as sinking as water, but he didn't say a word. It was the ancient sword.
He and Zhang Rao were arranged by Wang Zheng to be the defenders of the easternmost defense line of Pengcheng. As Zhang Rao's direct descendants, in addition to the Tianjun, there were naturally many Qingzhou soldiers who were stationed here with him.
Yellow scarf.
"Lieutenant Gu..."
Many members of the Heavenly Army knew about the relationship between Gu Jian and Zhang Rao. Especially when Gu Jian first appeared, he participated in the military competition and represented Zhang Rao's team in the battle, so he was highly regarded.
Seeing him so calm at this time, I was surprised and even more disdainful.
Everyone thinks that even if you choose to serve General Tiangong, it is a wise move, but the old master is so indifferent when he is in trouble...
It’s really a bit heartless!
Gu Jian stared at Zhang Rao's body for a while, then looked at Wang Xiong, nodded to the heavenly troops behind him, and said solemnly: "Thank you very much."
"Snatch Qu Shuai's body back."
"Everyone is a paoze, this is what should be..."
The Tianjun beside Wang Xiong quickly replied that Gu Jian's current official position was not high, but he was young and had a bright future, so he did not dare to neglect him.
But before he could finish speaking, Gu Jian turned around, stared in the north direction, and fell silent again.
When Wang Xiong and others descended from the city, they couldn't help but look back and saw that the young man was still maintaining the same posture as before, motionless.
It seemed to be solidified.
For some reason, Wang Xiong felt that there was a sense of loneliness and an indescribable chill in this figure.
And this young man, although he didn't say a word, made him feel that the other person actually had a lot to say.
