"The common men in the Sui army are all shameless people who bully the minority by bullying them!"
Guan Yu shouted coldly and watched his surroundings vigilantly.
"Guan Yu is a common man, a man without any plans. Fighting on the battlefield is life and death. Is it possible that just standing there and letting you chop him down is what suits your wishes, Guan Yu!"
Among the four, Zhang Liao was the most mature and stable. He retorted without hesitation and struck at Guan Yu with his sword.
When Ma Chao and Lu Wenlong heard Zhang Liao yelling, they no longer hesitated, raised their spears and stabbed Guan Yu.
Among the four, even Zhang Liao, who had the lowest force value, could not win without Guan Yu's 180 rounds. The four of them join forces to deal with Guan Yu. How can Guan Yu resist?
In just ten rounds, Guan Yu had already received more than a dozen wounds all over his body.
"Even if Guan is going to die, I will drag someone with me to death today!"
Knowing that he would not escape death today, Guan Yu's eyes widened angrily, and he immediately turned his attention to Zhang Liao.
Firstly, Zhang Liao had the weakest military force among the four. Secondly, Zhang Liao was originally a subordinate of Lu Bu and a Tang general. He was later captured and surrendered to the Sui army. In Guan Yu's heart, he was a heinous traitor.
"Pirate Zhang Liao, suffer death!"
With a roar, Guan Yu exerted all his strength, raised the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand and struck down violently.
Huo Qubing, Ma Chao, and Lu Wenlong saw Guan Yu's door open and immediately stabbed him out with their spears. Huo Qubing stabbed Guan Yu's throat, Lu Wenlong stabbed Guan Yu's ribs with both spears, and Ma Chao's spear swept out, heading straight for Guan Yu's head with a thousand pounds of force.
However, Guan Yu didn't seem to notice, and the broadsword did not stop at all and slashed directly at Zhang Liao.
When Huo Qubing, Ma Chao, and Lu Wenlong saw this, their expressions suddenly changed. They realized that Guan Yu wanted to die together, but the spears in their hands were already thrust out, and it was too late to withdraw to help Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao over there also understood Guan Yu's intention and raised his sword to block it without hesitation.
Guan Yu's long sword fell first and hit Zhang Liao's blade hard, with a deafening metal impact and sparks flying like stars.
Zhang Liao's tiger's mouth burst open, and the huge force poured into his body from his arms stirred up his internal organs. When he opened his mouth, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, but he still blocked Guan Yu's full force sword.
Seeing that Zhang Liao could barely block it, General Huo Qubing relaxed and thrust out his spear with all his strength, piercing Guan Yu's huge body.
Guan Yu's eyes widened and he stared at Zhang Liao in front of him. It seemed that he was unwilling to go to hell without Zhang Liao, and he slowly fell down from his horse and died.
Four generals, Guan Yu, Pugu Huaien, Zhang Yinglei, and Tao Zhenting, were all killed in the battle. The soldiers under their command fell to pieces and fell to the ground, kneeling to the Sui army one after another and begging to surrender.
Of the 20,000 Tang Tu coalition troops, 6,000 to 7,000 were killed and more than 10,000 were captured. Only a remnant of less than 1,000 soldiers escaped from the Sui army and went to report to Li Yuanji, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Wo Kuotai.
. . . . . . . . . .
"It's over, it's over, what should we do?"
After receiving the news from the defeated troops that Feihuxing had been captured by Huo Qubing first, Li Yuanji was completely panicked and kept mumbling to himself while sitting in his commanding position.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Wokuotai also looked ugly when they heard the news. Zhu Yuanzhang sighed helplessly. How many capable ministers and generals there were in the Sui army? Yue Fei of Hebei, Xue Rengui of the Central Plains, and Han Xin of Youzhou are all rare to see in a hundred years. An outstanding commander, Huo Qubing appeared now and his application of cavalry was superb.
"King Ming, now Feihuxing has also fallen into the hands of the Sui army. Our army's retreat has been occupied by the Sui army. What should we do now?"
Wo Kuotai also had a look of anxiety on his face and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked. Last time, only Zhu Yuanzhang saw Fei Huxing's way out. Although the Sui army was blocked, it cannot be denied that Zhu Yuanzhang's strategic vision was far superior to theirs.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "Now that our army's retreat has been cut off, it is impossible to retreat unscathed. The only solution for now is for the strong men to cut off their arms!"
"The strong man has his arm broken!?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and continued: "Huo Qubing's troops are all cavalry. Although the soldiers are elite, they are not many. To defend against danger is to give up the advantage of the cavalry. If our army fights with all its strength, they may not be able to stop it. It's just that they are on the opposite side. Yue Fei's troops will definitely use all their elite troops to pursue and kill them, and our army must prepare an elite force to serve as the rearguard of the entire army."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not say any more, but everyone else understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant. This rear army will face the all-out attack of nearly 200,000 elite troops from the Hebei Army led by Yue Fei. Even if the entire army is not wiped out, it will definitely suffer heavy losses.
"Prince Ming's view is too pessimistic!"
At this moment, a sharp voice sounded, and everyone followed the sound, only to see that the person speaking was Tong Guan, the supervisor who accompanied Li Yuanji.
Although Tong Guan is a eunuch, he also wears a suit of iron armor. Tong Guan's figure is different from other eunuchs. Although he is not as powerful as Lu Bu Lu Ju and other fierce generals, he is still quite tall and powerful.
Seeing that everyone was watching, Tong Guan said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Since we are destined to sacrifice an elite rear guard, our family thought it would be better to make the sacrifice of this elite team more valuable.
I heard that Emperor Yang Gao of the Sui Dynasty personally marched to Jingxing. Our family thought that if we could capture or kill this little thief alive, even if our army was defeated in Hebei, it would be worthwhile. "
Li Yuanji, Pei Ji, Zhu Si and others all looked happy when they heard this. Pei Ji, who was on the side, seemed to be inspired. He turned to Ogedai and said: "Your Highness, please pass a message to Temujin Khan, please." He will then send an elite army south to Bingzhou and attack the Sui army in Jingxing from front to back, so that our army will have a better chance of winning!"
"Your Highness, the general is incompetent. I would like to lead a group of elite troops to the north to stop Huo Qubing's troops at Feihuxing." The speaker was Tong Guan's confidant general Liu Yanqing, because the generals in the army laughed at him for relying on the eunuchs and were eager to make contributions. prove yourself.
"good!"
Li Yuanji set out from Chang'an, and Liu Yanqing was in charge of guarding him along the way. He made Li Yuanji comfortable, so he still had a good impression of Liu Yanqing, so he immediately appointed Liu Yanqing and said: "General Liu, please listen to your orders, I will leave you alone." With 20,000 elite troops, when our army faces the decisive battle with the Central Plains Corps led by Yang Gao'er himself, you must resist Huo Qubing's troops."
"Your Highness."
Pei Ji glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and said with ill intentions: "His Royal Highness King Ming has been in Hebei for a long time and is familiar with the geography of Hebei. Wei Chen thought that it would be the best choice for His Highness King Ming to lead the elite troops to resist Yue Fei."
Seeing Pei Ji blinking constantly, Li Yuanji was stunned for a while, and then he realized that this was an attempt to consume Zhu Yuanzhang's direct troops. He also sneered and said: "Your Highness, Prince Ming, I think what Pei Xiangguo said is absolutely true. What do you think?"
