Chapter 153 One person can stop ten thousand people
The five thousand elite cavalry hidden in the surroundings mounted their horses one after another, waiting for the moment when the soldiers came ashore!
You know, once a group of people comes ashore, subsequent ships will also come ashore one after another.
Countless soldiers disembarked from the ship. As soon as they landed on the ground, these soldiers lowered their guard, but in just a moment, five thousand fine knights came out in an instant.
The first group of people who came ashore were only a few thousand people, and subsequent ships had not yet arrived.
"kill!"
Countless horse spears were stabbed into the bodies of those soldiers, and all the weapons used by this elite cavalry were horse spears.
Compared to the spear, the Ma Shan has many more sharp edges, which means that the cost of making it is extremely high.
However, for this fine knight, this is just standard equipment.
The moment the soldiers who had just landed ashore showed no reaction at all, the fine cavalry came towards them.
"There's an ambush!"
"It's Cao Jun, prepare to fight!"
The soldiers instantly became confused. After injuring hundreds of people, they began to resist.
Guan Yu's broadsword opened and closed wide when facing these soldiers, and countless heads were chopped off by him.
Looking at these soldiers, Guan Yu waved his sword with one hand and stroked his beard with the other hand, without using any strength at all.
These soldiers had no ability to resist. Before the second batch of Yuan Shao's soldiers arrived on the shore, more than half of the team was damaged.
"General, have we accomplished our goal?"
One soldier's eyes flickered slightly.
If all of Yuan Shao's subsequent troops come ashore next, their five thousand elite cavalry will simply not be able to hold them back.
Guan Yu said calmly, without stopping the sword in his hand.
"It's okay, we can fight for a while longer!"
These five thousand soldiers also showed no mercy and continued to slaughter the soldiers who had just landed.
The soldiers who came ashore later could not have been unprepared when they saw the people and horses on the shore, and then thousands more people rushed out and went directly towards the five thousand elite cavalry to kill them.
"General, there are already more than 10,000 people on the shore!"
Guan Yu still said calmly: "It doesn't matter, we have no disadvantage now, we can fight for a while longer!"
Not only that, with such a big movement on the shore, it is impossible that the 100,000 vanguard troops who had already crossed the river and were waiting in Baima had no news.
Similarly, in Baima City, 50,000 troops were directly dispatched to attack Guan Yu.
There was still fierce fighting on the shore.
Although these five thousand elite cavalry showed no sign of decline when facing an army of ten thousand, that was not what worried the soldiers.
But if Yuan Shao mobilized 50,000 troops from Baima to cut off their retreat, it would be difficult to fly.
At this time, a cavalry came from a distance.
"General, the army coming from Baima City is less than ten miles away from here!"
Guan Yu still said calmly: "Let him go another five miles!"
The soldiers below were all surprised and shocked, but they did not hesitate and started fighting again. On the bank of the river, a full 40,000 people had successfully crossed the river.
However, these five thousand fine knights are still here, fighting fiercely.
"General, Yuan Shao's white-horse army is only five miles away from us!"
The soldiers on the side reminded again.
Guan Yu waved his long sword, his eyes flickered, and he shouted loudly: "Everyone, retreat!"
The five thousand elite cavalry took care of the enemies in front of them, and then began to retreat. However, they were cavalry, and when they ran away, the ordinary soldiers could not catch up with them.
This time, more than 8,000 soldiers who crossed the river were killed. Because the battlefield could not be counted, it was not certain.
Countless soldiers galloped away on horseback, while Guan Yu stayed at the back of the team as his rearguard.
Although Guan Yu experienced two defeats, once by Lu Bu and once by Zhao Yun, he was still very confident in his own strength.
When the eighteen princes gathered together, in his opinion, only Zhao Yun had real abilities, and he didn't pay attention to the others at all.
One man and one cavalry were covering the rear alone, and the cavalry did not dare to step forward at all.
The soldiers who came after them on white horses were also driven back one after another. Facing Guan Yu, no one dared to pursue him any further.
Under the eyes of tens of thousands of people, Guan Yu left with more than 4,000 remaining elite cavalry unharmed.
After killing nearly 10,000 enemies, he lost less than 1,000 people!
The soldiers who were originally dissatisfied with Guan Yu couldn't help but agree with this general when they found out that he was personally covering the evacuation of the army. After the 50,000 soldiers who came from Baima to support, there was a general who came.
"What's going on?"
Yan Liang's face was gloomy.
"A bunch of trash, nearly 100,000 people, but they can't even keep a few thousand people!"
He looked at the fleeing figures in the distance, showing a trace of ruthlessness.
But a moment later, he felt that the last general looked familiar to him.
At this time, he didn't pay attention to these things, but looked at the soldiers in front of him, feeling slightly angry.
Someone actually dared to intercept the army crossing the river in front of them, and even escaped smoothly. These tens of thousands of troops acted as if they were nothing. This is undoubtedly a very embarrassing thing for them!
At this time, those who could not argue could not explain how powerful the Jingqi was, coupled with the attack there.
Tens of thousands of people lowered their heads in shame, and the two hundred thousand troops that followed also came across the river one after another.
Although the damage was less than 10,000, there was still a hint of anger.
"General, don't panic!" Xu You on the side said with a faint smile.
Looking at Xu You's appearance, Yan Liang couldn't help but become confused, "Brother Ziyuan, what do you mean?"
Xu You said calmly: "Now that they came to attack us, they only brought a few thousand people with them. This further shows that Chenliu is short of soldiers, and the same is true for Xuchang!"
"I have now seen the outcome of this battle!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
At this moment, countless people in Chenliu showed worried looks. Guan Yu had been going there with his five thousand fine cavalry for a long time. Calculated carefully, it had been half a day. Including the time to return, he should have come back long ago.
But there was no movement at all. How could this not be worrying?
Except for Zhang Liao, no one here really knows Guan Yu.
Obviously they are all a little worried. In addition, Guan Yu only brought five thousand fine cavalry this time, which is even more worrying!
"Report, General Guan is back with his troops!"
A shout came, which made everyone startled and let out a slight sigh of relief.
Everyone felt a little uneasy in their hearts. Isn't Guan Yu's return too late?
After such a long time, could it be that all the five thousand elite cavalry were wasted?
Cao Ren frowned even more and was extremely worried. It would be very bad for him to come back after such a long time.
Although they agreed very much with Guan Yu's force, judging from the current time, their fighting time was almost an hour.
There are only five thousand elite cavalry, how can they fight so many?
Not only Cao Ren couldn't figure it out, but even Cao Cao, who had great trust in Guan Yu, couldn't figure it out either.
"Da da da!"
Guan Yu's figure walked in, and the people around him became quiet and looked at Guan Yu.
At this moment, his armor was covered in blood, and there were no signs of injury on his body.
