On the sixth day of the confrontation between the two sides, Liu Bei's military camp suddenly became agitated.
The monstrous fire and the desolate shouting were all like a woman posing there, frantically luring Cao Jun across the way.
Cao Jun, who had been prepared for a long time, was eating fried noodles, drinking hot water, and looking at Liu Bei's camp as if he were a fool.
He Yan's military commander, Ma Lumeng, even expressed emotion: "The one shouting on the other side is indeed like a slutty hoof. If I hadn't known that this was a conspiracy set up by Liu Bei, I might have actually rushed over."
He Yan, who was on the side, was already fully dressed and riding on the express boat, fully armored.
"Don't worry, there will be time for you to rush."
"Liu Bei's soldiers have been tortured by Liu Bei all night, and they have been unable to wait for us to pursue them. In a few hours, they will become soft-footed shrimps. If we wait until then and then charge, we will definitely kill Liu Bei's army in one fell swoop!"
"correct!"
He Yanan stopped Lu Meng and said, "If you see a red-faced man with a long beard, don't chop him!"
"I understand!"
"There is also an old white-faced guy who looks quite handsome, so don't cut him off!"
"Your Majesty, take your orders!"
"Well, don't chop that little black guy with a leopard's head and eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard."
"..."
Lu Meng struggled for a while and then asked: "Colonel, who can I kill?"
"Liu Bei?"
After He Yan said his name, he immediately shook his head: "Forget it, remember! Don't kill any of Liu Bei's generals!"
"Oh~"
Lu Meng's fighting spirit, which had just risen, suddenly waned. He obviously felt that such a battle was meaningless.
…
The commander-in-chief of the three armies, Yu Jin, pinched his watch and silently calculated in his mind that when Liu Bei's soldiers were tired, he immediately issued military orders to the soldiers with his cold yet sharp eyes.
"Woo~~~~"
The vast military bugle sounded, and then the heart-shaking war drum roared.
According to the original plan, Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin, and He Yan supported each other and went to attack Liu Bei, while Li Dian stayed behind with two thousand infantry to guard the camp.
He Yan pulled the reins of the horse, and Kuaihang sneezed excitedly. Lu Meng also raised his spear and issued a military order: "Come on to the Yao camp! Go to war!"
Xiahou Dun's Yuzhou troops were in the middle, and Yu Jin's Yanzhou troops advanced cautiously against the mountain wall south of Bowang Slope. He Yan's Yao camp, which had taken the longest to repair and had a considerable number of war horses, was arranged to the north near the Nanyang Basin.
marching in the wilderness.
Cao Jun, who was ready to go, encountered Liu Bei, who was tired and tired. There was no need to guess the outcome of the battle.
Liu Bei burned down his own camp, and arranged for some soldiers to flee in a panic toward Cao's camp. He thought that the next thing would be to wait and collect, but after waiting hour after hour, Cao's army that was supposed to appear never showed up.
.
Until the soldiers on Liu Bei's side began to fall into fatigue, Liu Bei also knew that his play seemed to be a failure, so he could only lead his troops to withdraw to the rear.
Unexpectedly, after retreating, Cao Jun behind him caught up with him.
If not saying that Yu Jin was a famous general, his mastery of fighter planes had reached a level that even He Yan could not help but admire.
The moment he chose to send troops was precisely when Liu Bei's army was suffering from low morale and he exposed his butt again.
When Liu Bei caught up with Liu Bei's army, Liu Bei hardly put up much resistance before deciding to speed back to defend the new field with all his troops.
"Yun Chang, Yide, you two lead the troops and horses to retreat first!"
When Liu Bei saw Cao Jun chasing after him, he immediately activated his "Take Off the Rabbit" skill and took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to escape in the direction of Xinye.
But the art of war is the same as literature.
If you want to write about the sunset, you can't just write about the sunset.
If you want to think about escaping, you can't just think about escaping.
To escape, you also need to leave an army behind for everyone to break up!
Liu Bei glanced around a few times and then fixed his gaze firmly on Zhao Yun.
"General!"
Maybe he felt Liu Bei's gaze, and Zhao Yun immediately raised his hand and responded: "General, don't worry! Yun is willing to lead the troops to cut off the general's rear!"
"General, don't worry, Yun will fight to the death! We will never let Cao's army pass!"
Zhao Yun said he would fight to the death, so he must fight to the death.
Even if He Yan might be chasing after him, Zhao Yun would still not let go. This is the moral principle he has always implemented in his heart!
"Zi Long!"
Liu Bei slowed down his horse, came to Zhao Yun's side and grabbed his hand: "If you are really defeated, you can surrender to Cao Jun!"
Zhao Yun thought Liu Bei didn't trust him, but when he was about to explain, Liu Bei held him down.
"You and I formed a friendship under Bogui (Gongsun Zan), and we had not seen each other for seven years when we reunited in Yecheng."
"It's a blessing for me, Liu Bei, to reunite with an old friend I haven't seen for seven years. How can I dare to ask for too much?"
"If you really can't break out in the end, you can surrender to Cao Cao. I, Liu Bei, am not worthy of Zilong dying for me."
Liu Bei has indeed changed a lot since he first met Zhao Yun.
But a person always has some shining qualities that will not fade over time.
When Zhao Yun heard Liu Bei's words, he immediately held Liu Bei's arm with his other hand.
"With these words from the general, Zhao Yun will die without regrets!"
After saying that, Zhao Yun didn't hesitate at all. He threw away Liu Bei's arm and pulled the reins of the horse. The white horse under his crotch turned away and ran towards the rear.
Liu Bei's eyes followed Zhao Yun's figure into the crowd, and even though he felt extremely reluctant to give up, he had no choice but to turn around and continue running towards the south.
After Yu Jin saw a team of Liu Bei's troops staying behind, he also knew that this was the army sent by Liu Bei to hinder them, so he directly sent a signal to Xiahou Dun and He Yan -
"I'll trap them, and you can go chase Liu Bei's army without worries!"
When Xiahou Dun and He Yan saw that Yu Jin was willing to help them deal with this army, they immediately bypassed each other and continued marching south.
He Yan glanced at Liu Bei's army, but quickly shook his head silently.
"Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun are all generals under Liu Bei who are qualified to take charge of their own affairs. Liu Bei should not be so wasteful and let them cut off the rear."
Staying behind at this time is basically to die. He Yan believed that Liu Bei was not so ruthless as to dare to leave these people behind, so he simply ignored them and passed Liu Bei's army directly.
Zhao Yun, on the other hand, watched helplessly as Xiahou Dun and He Yan's troops circled around him in the military formation. When he was about to intercept them, Yu Jin was already in front of them and killed them.
In terms of duel, Yu Jin might not be able to defeat Zhao Yun.
But on the battlefield, who can challenge a serious person to a duel?
Yu Jin's thousand soldiers tightly wrapped Zhao Yun's hundreds of men in a circle, and the infantrymen held large shields and continuously compressed Zhao Yun's movement space.
Whether in terms of quantity or quality, the soldiers under Yu Jin's command were far superior to the few crooked melons and dates brought by Zhao Yun. Under Yu Jin's exquisite command, Zhao Yun's troops soon became a trapped little soldier.
lamb.
Although Zhao Yun was not familiar with Yu Jin, he had heard of Yu Jin's reputation for being majestic and resolute in Cao Ying.
Seeing Cao's army rushing toward him, Zhao Yun swiped his spear and rushed directly towards Yu Jin's cavalry.
Compared with Yu Jinbi's formation of troops, Zhao Yun had no confidence.
Right now, the only option is to take a desperate risk and capture the enemy general first, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope!
Zhao Yun was not familiar with Yu Jin, but Yu Jin knew Zhao Yun very well.
During the Battle of Guandu, when Yu Jin was fighting Yuan Shao in East County of Yanzhou, he and his general Han Xun were handed over to Yuan Shao several times.
He knew that Han Xun was brave and brave, but such a fierce general died at the hands of Zhao Yun, which made Yu Jin full of fear of Zhao Yun.
Seeing Zhao Yun riding towards him alone, Yu Jin not only did not panic, but once again showed a smile that said he was sure of victory.
"shooting!"
The infantry around Yu Jin all gave way, and dozens of shooters holding crossbows emerged from behind.
Now that he knew how brave Zhao Yun was, how could Yu Jin leave the opponent a chance to get close?
It can only be said that although Zhao Yun understands Yu Jin, he does not understand him as well as Yu Jin does.
In Zhao Yun's slightly panicked eyes, dozens of crossbow machines fired crossbow arrows at the same time, shooting towards Zhao Yun who had left the team.
Zhao Yun had no time to dodge and was shot through by several crossbow arrows as he turned slightly and fell to the ground.
"Capture him."
Yu Jin shook his head slightly after seeing Zhao Yun's performance.
"Taking desperate risks is not what a general does! You and Guan Yu killed one Han Xun and one Yan Liang is enough. Is it possible that you really treat the generals of the world as your meat on the anvil?"
The first time you kill a general in battle, there is basically no chance of a second time.
After all, as long as this kind of "old six" behavior is successful once, someone will be on guard. Who will give them a chance to get close?
After capturing Zhao Yun, the remaining 500 soldiers basically lost their morale. Yu Jin fired a few rounds at will, and Liu Beijun, who was trapped inside, surrendered directly, without giving Yu Jin a chance to continue killing people.
At the front of the battlefield, the armies of He Yan and Xiahou Dun gradually converged and pursued Liu Bei's army together.
Xiahou Dun was chasing after him, feeling a little depressed: "Why does Liu Bei run so fast every time?"
He Yan also gritted his teeth: "If I can catch up with Liu Bei this time, I will definitely break his legs!"
Both of them were victims of Liu Bei's "Take Off the Rabbit" skill, and they felt particularly empathetic at this time.
"If we continue chasing like this, we will reach the new realm!"
There was worry in Xiahou Dun's single eye: "If our army enters the Xinye territory, it will mean that it has completely set foot on Liu Biao's territory. If Liu Biao sends troops at that time... it will be dangerous!"
He Yan was bumping on Kuaihang. Hearing Xiahou Dun's frustration, he quickly helped Xiahou Dun cheer up: "Don't worry, uncle Yuan Rang! Even if Liu Bei wins, he may not dare to send troops, let alone being pursued by us to the territory of Jingzhou?
"
"Besides..."
He Yan was really annoyed by the frustration of not daring to act rashly for the sake of the "overall situation".
"Looking at it, it's obvious that Liu Bei came to Nanyang first to cause trouble! So what if we enter Jingzhou territory?"
Xiahou Dun did not dare to push Liu Biao too hard because he was afraid that Liu Biao would jump over the wall and affect Cao Cao's northern strategy.
But He Yan didn't care.
Not to mention that Yuan Shao is about to die, but Liu Biao is not the kind of person who dares to jump over the wall in a hurry!
It would be better to break Liu Biao's backbone in this battle and make him completely lose his spirit in the future!
Xiahou Dun was always a hot-tempered person. The reason why he was so timid when facing Liu Biao was simply because he was trying his best to restrain himself.
Now that he was so excited by He Yan, he no longer cared about the situation, laughed and patted the horse and galloped: "Yu Lang is so ambitious! That's right! It was obviously his Liu Biao who sent Liu Bei to fight here first, why should we?
Are you going to swallow your anger?"
"Besides, Liu Biao is also involved in the blood feud of my Xiahou clan!"
The blood feud between the Xiahou family mentioned by Xiahou Dun is actually Cao Cao's son Cao Ang and his nephew Cao Anmin.
Cao Cao's father, Xia Housong, was adopted to the eunuch Cao Teng, and his surname was changed to Cao Song. Naturally, Cao Cao also took the surname Cao.
So from the perspective of blood relationship, Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun are real cousins, and Cao Ang is Xiahou Dun's nephew!
With hatred, Xiahou Dun no longer had any scruples, and led his cavalry team to outflank Liu Bei's team, vowing to swallow up Liu Bei's team and repay the debt with blood!
Liu Bei in the front saw that Cao Jun had actually passed Zhao Yun and was still chasing him. He also knew that Cao Jun was really thinking of annihilating him this time, so he immediately ran away even more desperately.
However, when Liu Bei saw Xiahou Dun directly dispatching cavalry to outflank him, his face suddenly turned pale and without any trace of blood!
"You are trying to keep me waiting at all costs!"
Seeing that he could not get rid of Cao Jun, Liu Bei immediately pulled out the sword from his waist and wanted to turn around and fight Cao Jun.
"Lord, leave quickly! Don't stay!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were beside Liu Bei, saw that Liu Bei seemed to be willing to fight to the death, so he quickly used his riding whip to whip Liu Bei's horse.
"My lord, you must not do anything stupid! As long as you return to Xinye and rely on Liu Jingzhou's power, Cao Jun will definitely not dare to pursue you!"
Guan Yu didn't want Liu Bei to be in danger. After thinking for a moment, he immediately grabbed the reins of the red rabbit horse and stood alone on the road.
"Yun Chang!"
Liu Bei turned around and called Guan Yu sadly.
"Liu Jingzhou has placed high hopes on me, hoping that I can welcome the emperor back and restore the Han Dynasty. Now that I have failed to win the battle and returned with a disastrous defeat, how can I see him again?"
"Lord!"
Guan Yu turned sideways, holding a knife in one hand and stroking his beautiful beard with the other: "Liu Jingzhou is not a narrow-minded person, so he will definitely not blame the lord!"
"In addition, Cao Cao is so powerful that even Zhang Xiu and his tens of thousands of men have been defeated repeatedly. How much more can the lord only have 3,000 soldiers?"
"After I return this time, I also ask my lord to inform Liu Jingzhou that Cao Cao is powerful. If we don't use Jingzhou's strength in the Northern Expedition, it may be difficult to regain the Han Dynasty!"
Not only Liu Bei could clearly see the situation in Jingzhou, Guan Yu could also detect it to some extent.
If Liu Biao continues to be so constrained by the Jingzhou family, I'm afraid Jingzhou will fall into Cao Cao's hands sooner or later!
After hearing Guan Yu's comfort, Liu Bei's will to die weakened again.
Before your great cause is accomplished, how can you easily seek death?
With one last glance at Guan Yu, Liu Bei decisively turned around and left, taking only Zhang Fei, Chen Dao and dozens of other personal guards on their horses to escape.
He Yan, who was chasing behind, saw Liu Bei break away from the army and escape. Instead of being happy, he showed a solemn expression.
After all, the fiery red rabbit horse and Guan Erye's iron tower-like figure still look extremely dazzling even in the messy battlefield!
