Now that the city of Xiaopei has been destroyed and Guan Yu has been defeated and fled, the general situation in Xuzhou has become clear.
The wood has become a boat and the rice has become cooking. It is only a matter of time before the Chu army completely takes over Xiaopei City. However, the shouts of death ringing out from all sides at this moment are so real that it makes Ji Shu feel weird.
"Hahahaha~~"
Ji Shu laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up.
"Old, teacher?"
Han Zong was a little stunned by Ji Shu's appearance and couldn't help but want to reach out to help him. Ji Shu waved his hand to indicate no need, he gently pushed Han Zong away and stood up.
"Okay, what a great Xu Yuanzhi! Come on, Zong'er, let's go see him."
The two men hurriedly approached the gate of the mansion and looked over. They saw that the two armies were fighting together in chaos. The Chu army's defense line was gradually compressed by the Han army, and they were obviously at a disadvantage.
It is no wonder that the Yulin Army suffered heavy losses in the last battle. In order to ensure the strength of the Jinfan Army and Baima Yicong, they hardly added many troops during the reorganization in Jiangdong. This battle also divided the troops in multiple ways.
Now there are only 300 Yulin guards and more than 2,000 elite soldiers guarding Ji Shu. It is naturally difficult to face 3,000 Bai'er elite soldiers. What's more, these people did not choose to escape in Xiaopei City, which was heavily surrounded by the Chu army, but set up a trap. After this counter-siege, I am afraid they are all warriors willing to die for Xu Han. How can we not be strong?
Ji Shu couldn't help but laugh again.
Xu Shu was going to bury all the few remaining elites in Xiaopei.
Standing on the edge of the battlefield, Ji Shu shouted at the top of his lungs with his hands raised.
"Xu Shu! Ji Shu is here, would you like to come out and talk about it?"
His voice penetrated the battlefield, but instead of stopping, the battlefield became increasingly chaotic. Soldiers poured towards his position intentionally or unintentionally. Although the Bai'er elite soldiers had not yet been able to break through the Chu army's defense line, Han Zong guarded Ji Shu closely in fear, fearing that cold arrows shot from somewhere in the darkness would hurt Ji Shu.
But Ji Shu seemed to be fearless, standing in the bright light of the torch, holding his hands and repeating those words over and over again.
After a long time, the Bai'er elite soldiers seemed to have received some order and retreated a short distance slightly. The Chu army took this opportunity to catch their breath and gathered around Ji Shu to re-form the shield wall. The chaotic battlefield suddenly turned into two distinct fronts.
A young man came into Ji Shu's field of vision. He was very different. He was carrying a seven-foot sword with blood on it. He was not wearing the armor of an ordinary general. He was wearing a tight-fitting military uniform and looked more like a knight walking in the rivers and lakes.
Ji Shu walked forward and cupped his hands far away.
"Mr. Xu, I have long admired your name."
There was a sword flower, and the long sword was sheathed. Xu Shu fearlessly took two steps forward and returned the courtesy in the same way.
"Mr. Ji, I have been fascinated by this for a long time."
"Mr. Xu, are you here for me?"
"Exactly."
He actually came here to kill me! Sacrifice yourself, sacrifice the last elite of Xu Han to kill yourself, a common man!
Hearing Xu Shu's answer, Ji Shu shook his head and laughed.
"Your talent is ten times better than mine. The situation is like this due to the difference in strength between Chu and Han. If you, sir, stay here and die together with me, I am not worth it."
Xu Shu put down his hand and stared at Ji Shu in the bright or dark firelight, with some surprise on his face.
“Excessive modesty is just off-putting.”
After a pause, Xu Shu continued.
"I really didn't expect that your husband could convince Sun Ce to keep the Chu army here for two and a half months. I am deeply impressed by your calmness and the trust of King Chu. I lost this game. This time If Xu Shu's life can be exchanged for Mr. Xu, it will be a blessing for Xu Han, and he will also live up to the love of the King of Han."
So, why am I worthy of Xu Shu’s attention? I just know more about the future than others, but in this changed history, this advantage has almost been exhausted.
What do I have that deserves someone like Xu Shu to die for me? Is it because I am the most "calm" among the Chu army?
"Sir, you overestimated me. The emperor is unruly, and if the people want to change, turmoil will arise. Although the world is in chaos, the root cause is that the people want peace, and the unification of the world will surely come. I am a virtuous king, the people's will is the same, and the military's morale is When they return, virtuous ministers will be attached, good generals will die, and the general trend will take its own course. The defeat of the King of Han was not the plan of one person, but the general trend. The wheel of history is rolling forward, whether Ji Shu is present or not, no one can stop the footsteps of our great Chu. "
"Hahaha, it's ridiculous. I, Xu Shu, was defeated at the hands of a person who doesn't even know himself."
Xu Shu stared at Ji Shu for a long time, feeling a little disappointed.
"Fusu died of a false edict, and Liu Zhi died of rumors. On the altar, he is just a mortal. Mr. Ji actually doesn't even know how important he is to the Chu State! Anyway, I don't have much time, so I won't say much. Sorry, I will apologize to you sir on the road to Huangquan where I offended you."
?!
A sharp light flashed in Xu Shu's eyes, and he pointed his sword.
"kill!"
In front of the gate of the mansion, the Chu and Han armies fought together again.
Tuk-tuk-tuk!
The dark road was illuminated by continuous torches, and 10,000 Han troops were running towards the southeast. Liu Feng approached Guan Yu on horseback and asked.
"Second uncle, the scouts reported that no enemy troops were found on the official road to intercept them. This is clearly a plan of the Chu army to encircle three and one missing, in order to defeat our army's fighting spirit so that we can pursue them one after another. Why don't we withdraw quickly along the official road? Going to Xiapi, instead take a detour?"
Guan Yu turned to look at Liu Feng and explained carefully.
"Feng'er, the art of war is not as simple as what you see. You see that the Chu army is using the strategy of 'surrounding three and missing one'. Maybe this is what others want you to see?"
Liu Feng was not convinced.
"Then how did the second uncle know that the Chu army was not really following the strategy of 'surrounding three and missing one'?"
Guan Yu laughed and stroked his long beard.
"Then it depends on what the enemy wants most?"
"If the enemy doesn't want you to die, you can't die no matter which way you go. Tell me, what does the Chu army want to do most now?"
Liu Feng knew it clearly and answered immediately.
"The situation on the battlefield in the east has turned towards the Chu army. Now the Chu army's goal is to destroy our army and prevent my second uncle from rushing back to support Xiapi."
Guan Yu nodded happily.
"Yes, since the most important purpose of the Chu army is not to occupy Xiaopei, how can they really resort to the siege of three missing one? There must be heavy troops ambushing on the official road. Once our army is stopped, the Chu army will swarm on other roads. Come here. Only the two trails in the southeast are the best breakthrough points."
"Second uncle, which way should we go?"
"Take the southernmost one."
Liu Feng was shocked when he heard this.
"Second uncle, that road is too close to the south camp of the Chu army. If we can't break through quickly, Chu's reinforcements will arrive in less than an hour."
Guan Yu snorted heavily.
"So, we just have to break through before his reinforcements arrive."
After hearing this, Liu Feng knew that Guan Yu had made up his mind, so he said no more, just held the spear in his hand and prepared to fight hard later.
When the army arrived at Xilu Mountain, the terrain suddenly became dangerous. Guan Yu frowned lightly, and his heart tightened, secretly thinking that if the Chu army wanted to set up an ambush, this would be the place.
"careful."
After reminding Liu Feng in a low voice, Guan Yu tightened the long knife in his hand and moved forward slightly.
"Fire the arrow!"
There was a sudden burst of fire from the mountains on both sides, and many Han soldiers fell down in response, but it was not a big mess. After all, being ambushed was already expected.
"Don't panic, rush over, don't stop!"
Guan Yu waved the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and loudly commanded the soldiers, and the Han army quickly advanced under his command.
"kill!"
At this time, the sound of iron hoofs also sounded in front, and a Chu army appeared in front of the Han army. The leading general was a familiar face of Guan Yu.
"Guan Yu, Wei Yan has been waiting here for a long time."
The hatred of the past welled up in his heart, and Guan Yu was filled with anger. Without saying anything, he rode his horse and raised his sword.
Wei Yan also didn't say much, he just accelerated and accelerated excitedly.
boom!
The two weapons collided, as if a brief flash of lightning was struck in the dark night.
The two horses crossed each other, Guan Yu gritted his teeth and glared at Wei Yan.
"Wei Yan, last time you were tricked by Ji Shu and you gained a lot of verbal advantage. Now you still dare to appear in front of me. Are you really not afraid of death?"
Hahaha!
Wei Yan laughed.
"If you have the ability, come and kill me! If I don't die, I will reach the peak of martial arts sooner or later, and you may be the one who dies!"
Guan Yu squinted his eyes, revealing a dangerous light, and he suddenly had a strong desire to kill Wei Yan here.
"Okay! In that case, Guan will send you on your way today!"
kill!
The two collided again with the same murderous intention.
