I hate Guan Yu upstairs. [Supreme Supernatural Power]
Only then did he finally understand that it turned out that Yan Liang was "repeating the old tricks" and used him as a shield to attack his son Guan Ping, just like he did to his son Guan Ping.
Guan Yu couldn't help but think of the scene that year. At that time, Guan Ping was tied up in front of Xiapi City. At that time, he stood on the opposite city wall and shot Guan Ping mercilessly with an arrow.
As if retribution, Guan Yu also tasted the pain his son suffered today.
"Yan thief, you are shameless and despicable~~" Guan Yu, ashamed and angry, cursed loudly again.
Guan Yu's curses were drowned in the thundering drums. The Chu army pushed him to the moat river. Moat bridges were built one after another. Countless Chu troops crossed the moat bridges and reached the city. They were already starting
Set up a ladder.
On the top of the city, the Han army finally began to counterattack, using mulberry stones to block the Chu army from ascending the city, but they never used the most effective defensive weapon-bows and crossbows.
Guan Yu knew that this was because the city guard was afraid that if he ordered an arrow to be fired, Guan Yu would be accidentally injured.
The Han army's cautiousness made Guan Yu feel a little relieved. He thought that this must be Liu Bei's order, fearing that the guards would hurt him. This showed that Liu Bei still cared about his brotherhood.
However, seeing the defenders on the city being suppressed and the Chu army attacking fiercely and gaining the upper hand, Guan Yu felt deeply guilty.
If this continues, Anyang City will be breached sooner or later, and Guan Yu will become an accomplice to the Han army's destruction of the city.
"Hurry up and shoot your arrows to kill the enemy. Don't worry about me, Guan Yu. The country and the country are the most important!"
Guan Yu screamed so generously in his heart, but his teeth-gnashing mouth never really shouted out.
The image of thousands of arrows piercing the heart kept reappearing in his mind. Every time Guan Yu wanted to roar, he was frightened back by the imaginary image.
Fear troubled his heart and he struggled for a long time. Guan Yu could not kill himself and could only watch the Chu army successfully ascend the city.
"Guan Yu, Guan Yu, what's wrong with you? How can you be afraid of death? You can't."
"No, this is not fear of death. I, Guan Yu, am the pillar of strength for the Han Dynasty. I cannot die. I must stay useful and do my best for the revival of the Han Dynasty."
The troubled Guan Yu finally found a grand reason for himself and persuaded himself not to speak out and to beg for death to the defenders at the top of the city.
"Guan Yu is so honest. He is not even as good as his son Guan Ping. Alas, it is not worth it for the three brothers of the Guan family to die for such a father."
Looking at the indifferent Guan Yu, Zhou Cang couldn't help but sigh.
Yan Liang said coldly: "I have said before that Guan Yu is just a false name, and now he has fallen into my hands. He has only revealed his true colors. And Liu Bei, I will tell him to show his true colors sooner or later."
After being sarcastic, Yan Liang passed down a decree and ordered Huang Zhong to attack with all his strength. Anyang City must be captured within an hour.
After the order was passed, the 30,000 soldiers of the Chu army were in high spirits. They all gathered their strength and attacked the city crazily.
There are several walls along the city line, and the Chu army has already rushed to the top of the city and started a hand-to-hand fight with the Han army.
"The enemy has already rushed to the top of the city. If this continues, the city will be completely breached sooner or later. What should we do?" Zhang Nan shouted in panic.
Jiao Chu looked at the Chu army in the field. Then he looked at Guan Yu upstairs, his face full of embarrassment.
Just defend to the death. It is impossible to defend without bows and crossbows. Once the city is broken, you and the five thousand soldiers will be killed by the Chu army.
If he surrenders to the Chu army, his family will be taken hostage in Yecheng. If he surrenders, his family of more than a hundred people, young and old, will swear to kill them all for Liu Bei.
In desperation, Jiao Chu could only sigh: "That's all, before the Chu army breaks the city, let's quickly lead the army from the north gate and retreat to Yecheng to meet the emperor."
"Abandon the city!" Zhang Nan was surprised, "The emperor ordered us to defend Anyang. If we just abandon the city and retreat, what should we do if the emperor blames us?"
"When the emperor started blaming us, we told him the truth. When the emperor saw that we were afraid of hurting his brothers, he abandoned the city, so he wouldn't blame us anymore."
Zhang Nan thought about it, and seeing that he had no other choice at the moment, he had no choice but to follow Jiao Chu's suggestion.
So the second general immediately abandoned the south gate, led thousands of remaining soldiers out of the north gate, and fled in embarrassment to Yecheng, dozens of miles away.
In less than half an hour, the flag of the Chu army was planted on the top of Anyang City.
At dusk, Yan Liang climbed to the top of An City and looked down at his mighty army, one after another entering the city. He felt so happy in his heart.
After a while, Guan Yu was taken down from the opposite building and escorted to Yan Liang.
When he saw Yan Liang, Guan Yu's face was livid, and he did not curse loudly. He just glared at Yan Liang and vented his anger towards Yan Liang.
"Guan Yu, you don't have to hate me. I'm already very gentle to you. In fact, I wrote a letter to Liu Bei not long ago, asking him to give you three counties in exchange for you. It's a pity that Liu Bei has no interest in you. I
As soon as this letter went out, it was lost in the ocean."
Yan Liang mentioned this matter to Guan Yu, which was like pouring a handful of salt on Guan Yu's wounds.
Guan Yu was shocked at the beginning, and there was a glimmer of hope in his dead heart. However, as Yan Liang said "the stone is lost in the sea", Guan Yu's newly ignited flame of hope was immediately extinguished.
A hint of shock flashed across Guan Yu's red face.
It seemed that Guan Yu couldn't believe that Liu Bei refused to rescue him from the sea of misery for the sake of three counties.
"Impossible, the emperor cannot be so ruthless to me. I am his sworn brother." In Guan Yu's heart, another voice comforted him with self-deception.
Thinking of this, Guan Yu immediately became serious and said disdainfully: "You can't understand how deep the friendship between the Emperor and me is. Yan Liang, don't ever think of alienating the relationship between me and the Emperor."
At this time, Guan Yu still had so much confidence in Liu Bei. Yan Liang had to admit that Liu Bei's brainwashing skills were indeed remarkable.
A sneer.
"Since you have so much confidence in Liu Bei, that's good. Then I will destroy your little hope first, and then destroy your broken body. Come on, take him down and put him in a stable."
The soldiers on the left and right swarmed up and roughly dragged Guan Yu away.
Yan Liang turned around and faced the north. He raised his whip and shouted: "Publish my decree. The army will rest for one night and take Yecheng directly to me tomorrow morning!"
…
Dozens of miles away, Yecheng.
In the palace, Liu Bei was pacing with his hands behind his hands, his face full of anxiety, as if he was waiting uneasily for something.
What Liu Bei was waiting for was of course news about the Battle of Anyang.
Anyang City is the largest city directly south of Ye City, and it is also a very important part of Ye City's defense system. If Anyang City can be defended, Ye City will have no worries.
At this time, Liu Bei could only hope that Jiao Chu and Zhang Nan could hold Yan Liang's army under Anyang City for as long as possible. It would be best to hold him back for seven or eight months like in Liyang City.
Liu Bei didn't believe that Yan Liang could continue fighting tirelessly for more than ten months.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The defense of Anyang City is not inferior to that of Liyang. Jiao Chu and Zhang Nan are also veteran generals in Hebei. Even if Anyang City is breached, it will be able to delay the Yan thieves for at least three to five months."
Zhuge Liang beside him was shaking his feather fan again to comfort Liu Bei.
Liu Bei stopped and sat back on the dragon throne, feeling a little calmer.
Liu Bei picked up the teacup and just wanted to take a few sips.
At this time, the guards came to report that Jiao Chu and Zhang Nan had abandoned Anyang City. They had led their troops and fled back to Ye City, and were now asking for an audience outside the palace.
This news, like a bolt from the blue, hit Liu Bei's head so hard that he was so shocked that the tea cup in his hand almost fell off.
Bang!
Liu Bei threw the tea cup on the table and said angrily: "I ordered them both to die in Ning Anyang, but they did not obey my will. How dare they abandon the city and flee without permission? Are they looking for death?"
Zhuge Liang was also surprised and advised: "Your Majesty, please don't get angry. Why don't you call these two generals in and ask them what's going on?"
Liu Bei had no choice but to suppress his anger temporarily and ordered the two fugitive generals to be brought in.
Not long after, Jiao Chu and Zhang Nan walked into the hall uneasily, knelt down in front of them, and shouted long live the mountain.
Liu Bei slapped the case fiercely and reprimanded sternly: "You are so brave, how dare you abandon the important town of Anyang without my will, and dare to come back to see me. Aren't you afraid of my generals' military action?"
The emperor became angry, and the two generals below the steps were so frightened that they trembled and looked panicked.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I never dared to abandon Anyang, but now I have to abandon the city and come back, but I have no choice but to do so." Jiao Chu explained hurriedly.
"Abandoning the city and fleeing, you are obviously cowardly and dare to make excuses!" Liu Bei became even more angry.
Jiao Chu said hurriedly: "I was determined to defend Anyang, but when the battle was about to begin, the Chu army suddenly tied the hussar general to the opposite building and pushed him to the city gate. I was afraid of accidentally injuring the hussar general, so I did not
Dare to fire arrows to counterattack, which enabled the Chu army to attack the city unscrupulously. I fought hard and lost, but I had to abandon the city and retreat, saving the lives of thousands of soldiers for Your Majesty."
After hearing Jiao Chu's explanation, Liu Bei immediately lost his temper, but his face became increasingly gloomy.
Yan Liang was cruel and despicable, and used such methods to attack the city, and Liu Bei was used to it. What made Liu Bei angry was that Guan Yu was still shamelessly alive, giving Yan Liang the opportunity to use him as a shield.
"Guan Yunchang, Guan Yunchang, it's just that you have lost troops and territory for me, and my country and face. Now that you have become a prisoner, you still want to harm me. It is really hateful. Why are you still dead? I want you to die."
——”
Liu Bei was furious, gnashing his teeth and clenching his fists.
Suddenly, Liu Bei shouted sharply: "Come here, drag these two cowards who escaped from the battle and kill them."
At the order, all the imperial guardsmen swarmed around and dragged the two generals away without any explanation.
"Your Majesty, spare your life. I dare not hurt your Majesty's brothers, so I abandoned the city~~" Jiao Chu howled in aggrieved terror.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. If I were not afraid of hurting the hussar general, I would never dare to abandon the city and leave. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Zhang Nan also shouted in horror.
Liu Bei was indifferent and stared angrily as the two generals were dragged away.
Then, Liu Bei shouted sternly: "Quickly convey the decree to the garrison generals of Zhucheng. From now on, if Yan Liang uses Guan Yu as a shield, the generals don't have to worry about it. They can do whatever they want. Anyone who dares to miss the military plan will be killed without mercy!" (
