The "Guan Yu" in front of me is nothing like him, he is just pretending.
The rigid Liao Hua suddenly heard a buzzing sound in his mind, as if he was hit by five thunders, and everything went blank.
Three words flashed into my empty mind:
Fell into a trap!
This move was exactly Xu Shu's plan to lure the enemy.
Those thousands of Yan troops were just soldiers of the Chu army, disguised by the armor and banners of the army that was destroyed by Guan Ping, and the general pretending to be Guan Yu was just Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao's stature is similar to Guan Yu. In addition, he and Guan Yu have worked together before, so he is quite capable of several Guan family sword skills. He only needs to apply color on his face and glue some fake beard. Under such light, he can stand on the top of the city.
With such a distance, let alone Liao Hua, even Guan Ping probably wouldn't be able to tell the truth from the lie.
Xu Shu's plan was to fake the arrival of Guan Yu's reinforcements, so as to induce Liao Hua to lead his army into battle and come to meet the fake Guan Yu.
The result now is just as Xu Shu imagined, Liao Hua, who lacks resourcefulness, fell into the trap.
"Liao Hua, you have fallen into the trap, why don't you get off your horse and surrender to me, His Highness the King of Chu!" Zhang Liao pointed his sword and shouted sternly.
Liao Hua suddenly woke up, turned around and ran away without saying a word.
"We have fallen into the trap, the whole army will return to the city quickly -" Liao Hua screamed and galloped away in the direction of Pengcheng.
But, it's too late.
The Chu army that was originally "scattered" by him had already dispersed and regrouped, rushing in from all directions, and the encirclement was completed in the blink of an eye.
Soon, Liao Hua and his more than 2,000 Yan troops were surrounded by tens of thousands of Chu troops.
At the same time, the sound of war drums rumbled loudly, and the shouts of killing were even louder.
The Chu troops from all camps have now come out in full force, heading towards Pengcheng like a tide from all directions.
More than a hundred paces away, Yan Liang stood on his horse, with a sneer on his lips, admiring the spectacular scene of his army's full-scale attack with great interest.
Encircling and killing Liao Hua was not the ultimate goal. Yan Liang's fundamental goal was to take advantage of Liao Hua's departure from the city and the reduction of Pengcheng's troops to break through the gateway to Xuzhou in one fell swoop.
"Yuan Zhi, your trick of luring the enemy is really wonderful." Yan Liang said while playing with the riding crop.
Xu Shu smiled faintly: "The king is ridiculous. If the king hadn't thought of using Zhang Wenyuan to pretend to be Guan Yu, I might not have been able to attract Liao Hua just by using the banner of Guan Yu."
Yan Liang smiled coldly and said with emotion: "Guan Yu first received his son's broken arm, and then received the news of the fall of Pengcheng. I really want to see what Guan Yu's expression would be like at that time."
"Don't your Majesty always scold Guan Yu for his monkey-butt face? I think that by that time, Guan Yu's face will only be redder than the monkey's butt." Xu Shu also learned to joke.
Yan Liang laughed wildly, raised his whip and shouted: "Send the order, the whole army will be killed by me, kill all the enemy troops, and leave no one behind -"
The rumbling war drums roared.
Inspired by the war drums, the 90,000 soldiers of the Chu army pounced on the frightened Yan army like wild beasts.
How could the three thousand remaining Yan troops in Pengcheng withstand dozens of times the Chu army's violent attack from all sides? Without a leader, their fighting spirit collapsed. In a short time, all along the city line had been breached.
Countless soldiers of the Chu army surged over the walls of Pengcheng like a tide and poured into Pengcheng.
Outside Pengcheng, Liao Hua's two thousand Yan troops who had left the city were almost killed by the Chu army's meat grinder.
Only Liao Hua was still fighting to the death.
Seeing the soldiers around him fall down one by one, and seeing the Yan flag broken at the top of the city, Liao Hua's heart was as sharp as a knife, and a feeling of grief, anger and shame arose in his heart.
"General Yunchang, you entrusted Pengcheng to me, but I failed to defend Pengcheng. I'm sorry for you."
Liao Hua was ashamed, but had no choice but to give up breaking out of the encirclement and fight back to Pengcheng. Instead, he turned east, tried to break out of the encirclement, and went to Xiapi to join Guan Yu.
Not long after running and fighting for a long time, the "fake Guan Yu" appeared before his eyes.
Seeing Zhang Liao pretending to be Guan Yu, Liao Hua was filled with rage, jumped up on his horse, and charged straight forward with his sword.
"The remnants of the Yellow Turbans dare to show off in front of me, Zhang Liao. They are really overestimating their abilities." Zhang Liao snorted coldly and swung the long knife out of his hand.
Bang——
The two swords struck each other, and Liao's body shook violently. The tiger's mouth was already cracked, and traces of blood seeped out from between his fingers.
After a fight, Liao Hua was greatly frightened. Only then did he realize that the martial arts of the "fake Guan Yu" in front of him was not even inferior to Guan Yu.
When he was frightened, Zhang Liao shouted loudly, and the sword in his hand rushed towards him like a violent storm.
The sword urges life, and the moves are fierce and unparalleled.
In just a few seconds, Liao Hua was forced to respond hastily, and the sword became increasingly chaotic and full of flaws.
Liao Hua became more and more frightened as he fought. Beads of sweat poured down his cheeks. He was so frightened that he dared not fight again.
After a few strong moves, Liao Hua turned his horse and tried to escape, but Zhang Liao had already anticipated his opportunity and swung out his long sword like lightning with his backhand.
The screams were as fresh as a spring.
Liao Hua was cut into two pieces at the waist, and the upper body flew out wrapped in the rain of blood.
The Chu army's five tiger generals Zhang Liao and Yan general Liao Hua fought in battle.
Liao Hua was killed in a few moves, and Zhang Liao's fighting spirit became even more powerful. He braced himself, mounted his horse, and marched straight towards Pengcheng.
At this moment, the east gate of Pengcheng was wide open, and thousands of Chu soldiers, like tigers and wolves, rushed into the sheepfold.
The warriors of the Chu army who broke into the city followed Yan Liang's order to kill all the Yan troops. Their swords passed by without sparing a single life, and they killed three thousand Pengcheng Yan troops, leaving corpses everywhere.
When it got dark, the battle finally ended.
Above Pengcheng, the victorious warriors waved their torches, raised their captured heads, and shouted excitedly.
"Long live the King of Chu——"
"Long live the King of Chu——"
Yan Liang sat on his horse, bathed in the dazzling firelight, and walked into Pengcheng with his head held high amid the shouts of long live the soldiers.
In this bloody battle, Pengcheng's 10,000 defenders were wiped out, the enemy general Guan Ping was captured, and Liao Hua was killed by Zhang Liao. Most importantly, Yan Liang captured the Pengcheng Fortress and opened the door to Xuzhou.
This battle can truly be described as a complete victory.
Yan Liang, who captured Pengcheng, was not dazzled by the temporary victory. He rested for one night in Pengcheng. As soon as it became dark the next day, Yan Liang personally led his army and went east along the Surabaya River, heading straight for Qiapi.
…
Southeast of Xiapi City.
On the banks of the Surabaya River, a cavalry force of two thousand people was moving in a hurry.
In the dust and fog that filled the sky, the big flag with the word "Guan" was flying proudly.
Guan Yu stood on his horse and raised his sword, walking like the wind, his red face was solemn.
The shame and pain of having his adopted son captured is still lingering in his heart, and he can't get rid of it.
In order to break the siege of Pengcheng as soon as possible, Guan Yu could only order 20,000 infantry troops to go back by water, while he led his cavalry to accelerate ahead.
Now, Xiapi City is seventeen or eight miles ahead, and Guan Yu's solemn mood can finally relax a little.
"Yan Thief, just wait for me. I, Guan Yu, will definitely kill you until you are frightened and have to release my son to ask for peace." The arrogant Guan Yu seemed not to take Yan Liang seriously.
Just as Guan Yu was deep in thought, several riders came galloping from the direction of Xiapi in the flying dust.
"General, Yan Liang released a prisoner of our army and said that he had something to give to the general to personally sign." The scout reported.
"Where are Yan Thief's things?" Guan Yu reined in the red rabbit horse, looking a little confused.
The disgraced soldier jumped off his horse, holding a wooden box in his hand, and offered it to him tremblingly.
An ominous premonition suddenly passed through Guan Yu's heart.
After hesitating for a moment, he took the wooden box and slowly opened it.
What was contained in the wooden box was a bloody severed arm.
Guan Yu's figure was shaken, and veins suddenly appeared on his face. The shock and anger in his eyes became more and more obvious.
However, he did not have an attack for a while, and only said coldly: "Whose is this broken arm?"
The soldier lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "Back to the general, this broken arm belongs to the young... general."
The phrase "Young General" was as quiet as the sound of a mosquito, but it was enough for Guan Yu to hear.
In an instant, Guan Yu's heart twitched, as if it had been scratched by a sharp blade, and an unprecedented pain shot through his body.
That red face turned as red as burning coals in the blink of an eye, and the indignant Guan Yu was so angry that he gasped for breath and gritted his teeth.
Yan Liang, that thief, cut off his son's arm and sent it to him, obviously to frighten Guan Yu with his blood.
"Tie Yan, you have gone too far to bully others, you have gone too far to bully others -" Guan Yu was so filled with hatred that he furiously rebuked him.
In anger, Guan Yu raised the sword in his hand, but with a "pop" sound, the heads of the soldiers who had offered their arms were flying out.
The left and right Yan troops were so frightened that they didn't even dare to speak out loud, for fear of offending Guan Yu and becoming a tool for him to vent his anger.
"The whole army is advancing quickly. I will not give up until I kill Yan Liang——"
Guan Yu was so furious that he wished he could fight Yan Liang to the death right now, so he urged his soldiers to march crazily.
On the same day, Guan Yu took the lead in rushing back to Xiapi City. Not long after, 20,000 infantry troops also rushed to Xiapi City by water.
Guan Yu, who rushed to Xiapi City, was originally planning to send troops immediately to rush to Pengcheng to defeat the Chu army, but the scout's reconnaissance report quickly poured cold water on Guan Yu, who was eager for revenge.
Guan Yu originally thought that the Chu army that raided Pengcheng was a light army, with a maximum number of about 20,000 to 30,000. Guan Yu was confident that he could defeat such a large Chu army.
But the reward from the scouts was that the Chu army in Pengcheng actually numbered 80,000 to 90,000 men. This meant that the main force of the Chu army had already arrived in Xuzhou.
Guan Yu's proud fighting spirit was soon shocked by this "astronomical figure" and was reduced to half.
In the former general's mansion, Guan Yu was in a dilemma when another scout rushed in again.
"General, there is an urgent report from Pengcheng. Yesterday evening, the Chu army captured Pengcheng. General Liao Hua was killed by Zhang Liao, and our five thousand defenders were completely wiped out."
A bolt from the blue fell on my head.
Guan Yu's expression was frozen in a moment of horror, and his face became redder and redder, and more and more purple.
Then, Guan Yu's figure shook, and he opened his mouth and spit out a stream of blood arrows. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
