Cao Hong, Cao Ren, and Xia Houyuan, the generals of Cao's army, have fought against Guan Yu and Zhang Fei many times, and they are extremely familiar with them.
As soon as the two parties met, they went to fight in one place without saying too much nonsense!
Guan Yu wielded the heavy Qinglong Yanyue Sword and struck Cao Hong hard.
Cao Hong knew very well about Guan Yu's strength.
He didn't dare to resist, so he pulled the reins and hurriedly stepped aside.
But how could Guan Yu let him go? He drew a circle in the air with his broadsword and continued to pursue him.
"Don't hurt my brother!"
Cao Ren roared angrily, swung his sword with all his strength, and blocked Guan Yu's sword for Cao Hong!
"Well done!"
Guan Yu smiled coldly, changed his target, and attacked Cao Ren again.
His sword strikes were fast, urgent and cruel. With two strikes, Cao Ren was beaten to such a state that he almost fell off his horse.
"Zixiao, be careful!"
Seeing his brother in danger to save himself, Cao Hong also fought back again.
With the two of them joining forces, they could barely resist Guan Yu!
Xia Houyuan and Xia Houdun on the other side also struggled against Zhang Fei.
Although the martial arts of the two are acceptable, you must know that Zhang Fei is known as the enemy of ten thousand people.
His eight-foot-long snake spear danced, as unstoppable as a crazy demon!
For a time, on the front battlefield, the four Cao army generals were suppressed by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and were unable to raise their heads. They would be defeated soon!
However, just as Guan Yu was preparing to defeat Cao Jun in one go, he heard the sound of Ming Jin withdrawing his troops from the army behind him.
Only then did he remember Zhuge Liang's instructions before going into battle!
"Third brother!"
Guan Yu shouted!
Zhang Fei thrust his spear fiercely, forcing the Xiahou brothers back, and turned to look at him.
Guan Yu winked, and Zhang Fei suddenly realized.
Then the two of them seemed to be drunk, their bodies became extremely stiff, and they seemed unable to even lift the weapons in their hands.
Although Xia Houyuan and others did not know what happened, they seized the opportunity and attacked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fiercely.
In just a few rounds, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were killed and defeated. They turned their horses and fled towards the rear!
Seeing this situation, Cao Pi on the city wall couldn't help but said with great joy,
"The four uncles are really brave. Zhongda, hurry up and give them the order to pursue them!"
"ah?"
Sima Yi was a little confused.
Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were defeated, anyone with a discerning eye could see that their defeat was a bit strange.
Is Cao Pi going to pursue him now?
"What, you have an opinion?"
Cao Pi turned to glare at him.
"Subordinates dare not have any opinions!"
Sima Yi quickly shook his head and waved his hands.
joke.
Having been in contact with Cao Pi for so long, he naturally understands Cao Pi's narrow-minded character.
Once you go against Cao Pi's wishes, I'm afraid you will be remembered!
Under the city wall.
Looking at Liu Bei's army being driven back, Xiahou Dun and others also had an unreal feeling.
When did the martial arts of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei decline to this level?
At this moment, Sima Yi rushed from the city and shouted,
"Four generals, the Crown Prince has ordered you to pursue Liu Bei's troops!"
The four of them looked at each other and said honestly,
"Here!"
They immediately led their troops and chased in the direction where Guan Yu and Zhang Fei retreated.
Liu Bei's troops seemed to have been affected by the defeat of Guan and Zhang.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, they abandoned their armor and fled towards the rear.
Seeing the sloppy formation of Liu Bei's army and the abandoned baggage on both sides of the road, the four generals who were originally worried couldn't help but feel relieved.
From this point of view, Liu Bei must have really lost!
"rush!"
The blade in Cao Hong's hand was pointed directly in Liu Bei's direction!
the other side.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were retreating with their troops.
When they returned to the army, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were nowhere to be seen.
"This military advisor told us to retreat, but he ran so fast!"
Zhang Fei complained dissatisfiedly.
Although Guan Yu didn't speak, there was a trace of unhappiness in his eyes.
Originally, he and Zhang Fei were able to defeat Cao's army, but it was because of Zhuge Liang that they had to pretend to retreat.
Just pretend to be defeated and retreat, the army is still in such chaos!
You must know that on the battlefield, once the army is in chaos and is rushed by the enemy, pretending to be defeated may turn into real defeat!
Just as they fled to a dense forest, they saw Xu Shu waiting not far away.
"Two generals, follow me quickly!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were stunned, and quickly led people to greet them.
"Mr. Yuan Nao, what's going on?"
"The two generals don't know anything. The military advisor has already set up a dragnet."
Xu Shu chuckled and led the two of them towards the depths of the dense forest.
Xiahou Dun and others behind them, after chasing all the way, found that Liu Bei's army had no intention of resisting, and they completely relaxed their vigilance.
They had been following Liu Bei's men and did not notice at all that the road had become extremely long and narrow, with dense forests and weeds on both sides.
It wasn't until after chasing for several miles that Cao Ren realized something was wrong.
"Brothers, Liu Bei's army escaped so fast, and he also intends to lead us here. If we use fire to attack, I'm afraid we will die without a burial place!"
Xia Houyuan glanced at it, his heart sank, and he immediately said,
"What Zixiao said is absolutely true. Immediately order to stop the pursuit!"
However, it was already too late, and a raging fire suddenly broke out around them.
It is autumn now and the weather is dry.
In addition, Liu Bei's army seems to be buried with flammable materials.
But in an instant, the fire surrounded Xiahou Dun and others!
The officers and soldiers of Cao's army were timid and fled in all directions, but there was no way to escape.
As the fire approached, Cao Jun suffered heavy casualties for a while!
"The military advisor is really clever!"
Seeing Cao Jun crying for his father and mother after being burned, Liu Bei couldn't help but smile.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the side were also quite shocked.
Only then did they realize why Zhuge Liang wanted them to fake defeat. It turned out to be to lure Cao Jun into a trap.
"It's just some cleverness. Even if the enemy is defeated, isn't Wancheng still under the control of Cao Cao?"
Zhang Fei muttered.
"General Yide, don't worry, I have a back-up plan and can easily capture Wancheng!"
Zhuge Liang smiled.
…
After paying a heavy price, Xiahou Dun and others finally rushed out of the fire.
Looking at the few remaining troops, they almost cried!
Fortunately, Liu Bei's army had no intention of pursuing, which gave Cao Jun a chance to breathe.
Xiahou Dun and others took the remnants of the army and hurriedly retreated towards Wancheng.
In Wancheng city.
Cao Pi was enjoying Moutai.
If I can kill or capture him today in pursuit of victory, Nanyang County will be in my pocket.
At that time, we might be able to take advantage of the situation and go south, directly to Jingzhou.
By then, he will be able to compete with Yang Ling!
Thinking of this, he felt extremely happy and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
However, at this moment, Sima Yi suddenly ran in in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened!"
