The two generals fell off their horses at the same time, and the panicked spectators came out and swarmed forward with their personal guards who had been prepared.
It's not that they rush out to fight and get some last-ditch hits. The purpose of these personal guards is just in case, to snatch back their leader at the critical moment.
After all, in a one-on-one duel between these two, who could win or lose. You must first prevent others from taking advantage of the opportunity to make a deadly move, and then consider whether there is a possibility of a last hit.
Both sides had the same idea. They immediately protected their leader. After snatching the leader back, they saw that there was no chance to finish the attack. They did not stop and slowly retreated, returning to camp to check on the leader's injury.
A one-on-one duel ended hastily after only four rounds.
One thing to say, the actual one-on-one duel is indeed different from the one-on-one duel Luo Guanzhong imagined. No one has the physical strength to fight back and forth for hundreds of rounds. Things like Zhang Fei fighting Ma Chao from day to night are basically just fictions.
Even in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were very few strong men who could fight for twenty rounds in a one-on-one duel.
In a one-on-one battle, life and death often only happen in an instant. If you don't pay attention, you will be separated from life and death. You won't be able to fight so many rounds.
From an ornamental point of view, the one-on-one duel between Guan Yu and Zhang Liao is definitely not exciting. But these two are not here to play an exhibition match. Their one-on-one duel is related to the outcome of the battle.
Now both sides suffer losses, which can be said to be a result that neither side wants to see.
After Guan Ping and others snatched Guan Yu back to the camp, they immediately called the military doctor to check Guan Yu's injuries. Guan Yu almost pushed him away.
"Why don't you hurry up and prepare for war? What are you doing around me?"
Guan Yu's words immediately calmed the minds of the generals in the tent.
His general is still thinking about arranging military affairs, which shows that the injury is not serious.
Only the three people surrounding Guan Ping, Guan Xing, and Deng Ai know it best. Guan Yu’s chest and abdomen are still bleeding out! ! !
Guan Ping was anxious at that time and wanted to persuade Guan Yu to lie down and rest quickly and recover from his injuries. Deng Ai quickly stopped Guan Ping and watched him.
After all, Guan Ping was a general who had been fighting for many years. He just suddenly saw his father injured and was concerned about it.
Now I see my father holding on to the pain of the wound but still talking, and then looking at Deng Ai's eyes, I understand what he means.
But after all, Guan Ping lacked some response. Although he knew that the seriousness of Guan Yu's injury could not be revealed at this time, he did not know how to deal with the generals in the account.
When Deng Ai saw this, he had no choice but to drag his wife over and let her take his place, blocking the sight of other generals.
After doing this, Deng Ai turned around and said to the generals on the periphery, "Although the general is slightly injured, it is not serious. There is no need to worry, generals. The general's order has been issued. The generals heard it with their own ears and returned it." Why don’t you return to camp quickly and make preparations, so as not to delay the use of troops for the coming day?!”
When the generals heard what Deng Ai said, and because everyone had indeed heard Guan Yu's personal order just now, they immediately no longer hesitated, accepted the promise, and returned to camp to prepare for battle.
After sending off these military generals, only the Guan family, the military doctor, and Xu Shu were left in the tent.
At this time, it was time to really check Guan Yu's injury.
Guan Yu's injury was actually not serious.
Zhang Liao's shot actually pierced Guan Yu's abdominal armor, penetrated directly into his flesh and blood, and penetrated into Guan Yu's abdominal cavity.
In addition, when both fell to the ground, the instinctive reaction of a general was to hold on to his weapon tightly. This also caused Zhang Liao to pull his spear out of Guan Yu's body.
In this era, even if it was not a fatal injury, not many people could survive it.
When there was no one around, Guan Ping and Guan Xing helped Guan Yu remove his armor and revealed the specific injuries. Guan Yinping saw it and burst into tears.
When Deng Ai saw his wife like this, he quickly stepped forward to hug her and comfort her.
Guan Yu doesn't like it no matter how he looks at it, but considering that if Deng Ai hadn't handled it properly just now, the morale of the army might have plummeted. After all, he is also a handsome man, better than his own son who has stayed by his side to teach for more than ten years. Much stronger.
The future of the Han Dynasty ultimately depends on people like Deng Ai.
Guan Yu just smiled and lay on the couch, letting the military doctors stop the bleeding and treat him while comforting his children.
"Don't be so shameless. When a man goes into battle, he is bound to die. If he comes back wrapped in horse leather, consider it a blessing."
While Guan Yu was talking, when Xu Shu heard these words, didn't he feel as if he was saying his last words? !
"General, don't say such unlucky words. You still need to rest and wait for the military doctor to treat you." Xu Shu blocked Guan Yu's words while looking at the military doctor anxiously, waiting for the military doctor's diagnosis results.
As for the military doctor, the military doctor was already sweating.
It was not difficult for him to hit his internal organs and stop the bleeding with a single shot, but he was really powerless to do anything about the injuries to his internal organs.
But as a military doctor, he had to save him. Even if this matter was related to the life and death of the general, he would also lose his head.
As a military doctor in the army, there is no problem in treating some gun and stick wounds, but the more the military doctor thought about this kind of injury involving the internal organs, the more he became afraid. In the end, he couldn't help it anymore and knelt down on the spot.
"The villain is incompetent, the villain is incompetent"
The military doctor's attitude immediately made Xu Shu's heart sink. Guan Ping, Deng Ai and others also panicked. What the hell do you mean by this? !
Guan Yu, on the other hand, actually smiled slightly when he heard what the military doctor said, and said to the military doctor, "This is not your fault. Just help me stop the bleeding and bandage it first. Don't ask anything else."
When the military doctor heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stopped Guan Yu's bleeding.
But what Guan Yu said made Xu Shu and others uneasy.
"What does the general mean?!" Xu Shu asked puzzledly, "If the military doctor can't cure him, we can visit famous doctors to treat the general's injuries. Zhang Changsha's feet are now in Yuelu Academy, and I heard that Hua Tuo Master Fan A is currently in Jiangdong, so I will write two letters, one to Xizhen and one to Wu Hou, asking them to help find famous doctors to treat the general's injuries."
"This is not possible!" Guan Yu shook his head, stopped Xu Shu, and then said, "I know the extent of my injury. I am afraid that I will be lucky soon. Wenyuan's injury is much more serious than mine. If we don't take advantage of the situation to capture Nanyang, God will do it." If you don’t take it, you will suffer the consequences.”
Xu Shu was still thinking about what Guan Yu said, but Guan Ping was the first to object.
"My father is seriously injured and needs to rest. We need to attack Nanyang first. Why do we need my father to go out in person? I will lead the army to attack the city tomorrow." Guan Ping hurriedly advised.
When Guan Yu heard this, he became angry. He was so angry that his wound hurt. When he lowered his head, he saw that a military doctor was already bandaging the wound.
Guan Yu had no choice but to say too much at this time. After all, the military doctor was still there, and he had to endure the pain. After the military doctor had finished bandaging, he could settle the score with Guan Ping.
At this time, Xu Shu had basically figured out what Guan Yu was thinking.
In fact, Guan Yu, the person involved, knows the final result of the duel between the two.
Yes, Zhang Liao did stab Guan Yu in the abdomen, but Zhang Liao was not much better - Guan Yu slashed Zhang Liao in the back.
Guan Yu is very clear about the power of his full-strength sword. Even if Zhang Liao is protected by Mingguang Armor, the Mingguang Armor cannot stop the sword.
At this time, Zhang Liao was either directly killed in battle, or he was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Since Guan Yu said that Zhang Liao's injury was worse than him, Xu Shu would definitely believe it.
The opportunity is definitely a good one, but Guan Yu is so anxious to let the military doctors bandage him, so he probably has to hold on and direct the siege himself, right? !
After all, the generals of both sides faced off in a one-on-one battle. Although on the surface it seemed that both sides suffered losses, one side's general could personally command the siege the next day, while the other side's general could not show up, and he did not know whether he would live or die. The morale of the soldiers on both sides must be different.
The Han army's morale will definitely be high, while the Wei army's will definitely lose their fighting spirit.
In addition, if Zhang Liao cannot personally command the defense of Deng County, then the possibility of this attack to break through Deng County and march into Wancheng will really be very high.
From a purely rational point of view, Guan Yu's approach is very correct. But these days, who can be absolutely rational? !
You, Guan Yu, are desperate for your life, right? ! !
Xu Shu also couldn't agree with Guan Yu's approach. After the military doctor finished bandaging, he quickly asked the military doctor to leave, then he handed over his hands and said to Guan Yu, "I already know the general's plan, but this matter is not feasible!"
Guan Yu was thinking about how he wanted to teach his son a lesson first. He had been learning military skills from him for decades, and he had no sense of the overall situation. If he died in the future, what future would he have? !
But before Guan Yu opened his mouth, Xu Shu objected. This is wrong. Is the military advisor confused? !
Before Guan Yu could continue to speak, Xu Shu continued, "The general has an important responsibility for the country, how can he be so contemptuous of himself?! General, please rest in peace and recuperate. All the generals in the army can do the siege, so why should the general lead him?" Going into battle injured?!"
Guan Yu was not happy when he said this, and retorted, "What the military advisor said is wrong. How can I ruin the country's affairs just because of me?! And all the generals in the army lack experience. Apart from me, who can take on this important task?" !”
"General Guan Ping is enough!" Xu Shu replied.
Guan Yu raised his eyes slightly, looked at his eldest son, and then at Xu Shu. Really, I can believe it if you say it's Deng Ai, but Ping'er.
Really, it's not that Guan Yu looks down on Guan Ping, but Guan Ping's qualifications are really limited. He is indeed qualified and capable to lead an army as a general, but he is really not the material to lead an army as a commander.
but.
"If Zhang Liao is seriously injured and there is no one in the Wei bandit army, Major General Guan will be able to attack the city and take out the stronghold. If Zhang Liao is fine, even if the general goes into battle in person, it will be difficult to conquer Deng County." Deng Ai stood up at this time. He said to Guan Yu, "If it is true as the general said, Zhang Liao is seriously injured and unable to take charge, it will be enough for Major General Guan to lead the troops to attack the city!!!"
Well, Guan Yu now dislikes Deng Ai again.
