Gowani Port.
This is where the Ming army is now stationed.
Guan Yu arranged for two thousand soldiers to be stationed here, so that if they were attacked, they could respond at any time. In addition, Guan Yu also arranged naval forces to patrol the sea from time to time to ensure that the news was known.
Only in this way can we respond in the shortest possible time.
The garrison general was named Liao Jian.
He is one of the brave generals under Guan Yu. In the previous fights, Liao Jian made great contributions by daring to fight and kill. So now, Liao Jian, as the captain, leads the soldiers to guard here.
In the camp, Liao Jian is training soldiers.
This is a continuation of Guan Yu's habit.
How Guan Yu treated his soldiers was the same with the generals he brought out. They also loved their soldiers as sons and cared very much about their soldiers. However, Guan Yu's training of his soldiers was very strict in order to form the combat effectiveness of the army.
While Liao Jian was training soldiers, there was a rush of footsteps. Outside the camp, a soldier quickly ran to Liao Jian's side and reported: "Colonel Liao, Wu Sima wants to see you."
Wu Sima's name was Wu Dayong, and he was a man under Liao Jian who was good at naval warfare.
Wu Dayong is responsible for inquiring about information at sea.
Liao Jian ordered: "Bring the people here."
The soldiers went to inform. After a while, Wu Dayong hurriedly came and reported: "Qi Lieutenant, the general will be patrolling the sea with his ship. He found that more than 30 miles out to sea, some warships were circling and gathering. The surrounding warships There are also many, but all the warships have not come directly to our port yet, and they seem to be still inquiring about the situation, learning about the nearby waters, and getting news."
brush!
Liao Jian's face suddenly became serious.
His eyes were even sharper.
coming!
The armies of the Roman Empire were definitely coming.
Liao Jian felt excited and asked again: "Have you ever seen clearly how many warships there are?"
Liao Jian replied: "At least there are hundreds of ships. After all, I will not be able to investigate further places. I don't know the specific situation. What we can know now is that hundreds of ships have been found in the nearby area." Warship."
Liao Jian was in high spirits and said: "There must be more, because the people coming must be the army of the Roman Empire."
Wu Dayong asked excitedly: "What should we do?"
Liao Jian said quickly: "Under the current situation, there is only one way, and that is for us to hold on. At the same time, immediately notify General Guan and ask the general to send troops to rush for reinforcements. As long as we hold the Guwani Ferry and the foundation, everything will be fine. .”
Liao Jian changed the topic and said: "This matter is simple. Wu Dayong, you ride alone and rush back to Suraduo City as quickly as possible, and report to General Guan and ask the general to make a decision."
Wu Dayong's smile instantly faded.
His expression was very helpless.
Wu Dayong said sarcastically: "Captain, I want to stay and participate in the war. If a war breaks out when I go back, won't I miss the opportunity?"
Liao Jian waved his hand and said: "This is an order!"
"As you command!"
Wu Dayong suddenly answered loudly.
The look on Liao Jian's face softened and he comforted him: "Your boy has the best riding skills and the fastest speed. Therefore, you can only go back. If it were another person, he would not be able to go back in the shortest time."
A look of pride appeared on Wu Dayong's face, and he said, "General, I understand."
He left in a hurry, fetched the war horse, and rode on quickly.
Wu Dayong was on his way the fastest.
There was no delay along the way, and he ran back to Suratra City in one breath. He quickly entered the city, and after seeing Guan Yu, he quickly reported: "General Guan, our people have discovered a large number of warships gathered at sea. Coming towards Guwani Port. Currently, the opponent is still circling, and more troops should be coming."
Guan Yu Danfeng opened his eyes, murderous intent was revealed in his eyes, and there was even more excitement in the depths of his eyes.
The opportunity has come!
He had been in Suratha City just to wait for the army of the Roman Empire to arrive. Today, the army finally arrived, and he finally had a chance to make a contribution.
The last time he fought against Valens in the city of Suradha.
In the end, Lu Xuan arrived in time and solved the crisis. Now, he wanted to rely on his own strength to block all the armies of the Roman Empire at sea, first using the garrison at the port to block them.
Perhaps, his troops were not large and ultimately unable to withstand the incoming Roman Empire army. However, he could block the attack step by step, and then gradually withdraw to Suratto City and rely on Suratto City to defend it.
The same can further weaken the Roman Empire's army.
The last time, he was guarding outside and had to fight Valens who captured the city of Suradha. Now, he could first use the port, and then use the city of Suradha to consume the power of the Roman Empire.
Guan Yu was also looking forward to this battle and quickly ordered: "Come here!"
A soldier entered and bowed.
Guan Yu ordered: "Send an order to mobilize the army and prepare to go to war. The army currently stationed in Suratu City leaves a thousand soldiers led by Wang Xi to guard it. The rest of the soldiers will all follow me to fight and go to Guwani Port to guard it."
"As you command!"
The messenger quickly went to make arrangements.
Guan Yu arranged for people to mobilize troops. After thinking about it, he once again arranged for the messengers to rush back to Huashi City to inform Lu Xuan.
The troops of the Roman Empire are coming, and this must be announced.
The emperor's army must rush to help.
With Guan Yu's army alone, he is currently unable to achieve victory. At most, he can only defend the city of Suraduo.
Guan Yu also quickly put on his helmet and armor. Wearing a green robe and a cape, carrying the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, he rode out of the city lord's palace and came to the army to mobilize the assembled army.
"send troops!"
Guan Yu ordered loudly.
After Guan Yu gave the order, he set off with his army and hurried on in a mighty manner.
The distance from Suratha City to Guwani Port is not very far, and Guan Yu was going all out this time, with his cavalry in front and infantry behind. After everyone speeded up, they soon arrived at Guwani Port.
After Guan Yu arrived, he quickly summoned Liao Jian and asked: "How is the situation at sea? Have the enemies come to kill?"
"No!"
Liao Jian shook his head and answered.
He quickly said: "The general has arranged sentinels to keep an eye on the sea. The opponent is getting closer and closer to Guwani Port. However, it has been circling and has not attacked yet."
Guan Yu said with a smile: "That's the case, that's for the best. For now, we just need to stabilize the current situation and wait for the other party to attack."
He looked at Liao Jian and asked, "Have the port's defense lines been arranged?"
"arranged."
Liao Jian answered quickly.
Guan Yu stroked his beard under his chin, with a look of satisfaction on his face, and ordered: "The whole army continues to prepare for the next war."
"Here!"
Liao Jian answered with clasped fists.
After Guan Yu garrisoned, he waited at the port. Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Within two days, the sentinels arranged by Guan Yu discovered that the Roman Empire warships were always hovering at sea. Although they were approaching the offshore ports, they never attacked.
Guan Yu also had some doubts in his heart.
Why haven't we attacked yet?
Why are you still hesitating?
Everything makes people confused.
Guan Yu personally went to the rocks near the port and looked down at the distance. At a glance, he saw that the sea was endless and there were no warships.
Guan Yu frowned.
Something is wrong!
If the Roman Empire's army really gathered at the port entering the sea, it would only be far away. The distance is far, so it can be said that he is still waiting and seeking information. However, it was not too far away from the port where it entered the sea, but it stayed at sea all day and never attacked.
When Guan Yu was thinking, suddenly, in his eyes, he only saw warships approaching from the sea in the distance.
At first, it was a black spot.
In a blink of an eye, all the black spots became clear and turned into warships that were roaring in the wind.
After seeing this, Guan Yu's doubts disappeared and he was filled with fighting spirit.
He was still wondering just now, what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd?
Now, here we come.
Guan Yu quickly returned to the camp at the port and ordered preparations for war. Not long after, warships came one after another. After approaching the port, they began to attack. The army's offensive was very fierce, but Guan Yu was full of fighting spirit and steadily commanded his soldiers to fight.
Guan Yu has full confidence in this battle.
Archer!
Catapult!
All these instruments are there.
When the Roman Empire's army came to attack, Guan Yu had enough fighting spirit and confidence to hold on.
When Guan Yu went all out, the fighting lasted less than half an hour, and the battle was not yet in full swing. It had not yet reached the stage of intensification. Suddenly, the sound of horns came from the sea.
The melodious sound of trumpets echoed endlessly, and the Roman Empire's army quickly evacuated and quickly moved away from the port battlefield.
Guan Yu was stunned when he saw this scene.
how so?
Is this the army of the Roman Empire?
As soon as the attack started, the people had already run away and they could not be found at all.
Guan Yu looked at the corpses of Roman Empire soldiers left on the ground and saw the retreating Roman Empire warships, but he felt very disappointed. At this moment, the doubts he had on the rocks near the sea lingered in his chest again, and he could not get rid of them.
Wu Dayong followed Guan Yu. He muttered and said, "If I had known earlier, I would have stayed in Suraduo City. What are you doing here? This war is really boring."
Guan Yu looked at Wu Dayong, his red and phoenix eyes filled with murderous intent, and asked, "What did you just say?"
Wu Dayong was stared at by Guan Yu and couldn't help but shrink his head and said with a smile: "General, I didn't say anything."
Guan Yu said: "Say!"
Wu Dayong said quickly: "The general said that we might as well stay in Suraduo City. The fighting here will be fine."
"not good!"
Guan Yu suddenly shouted loudly.
He looked eager and said: "Suratha City, this time the Roman Empire's goal may be Suratto City."
"Wu Dayong!"
Guan Yu ordered loudly.
"exist!"
Wu Dayong also answered immediately.
At this moment, Wu Dayong was more nervous than ever before, and he also understood what Guan Yu meant.
Guan Yu ordered: "You immediately mobilize your troops and leave three thousand soldiers at Guwani Port. All other troops will follow me and withdraw to Suradha City. The cavalry will take the first step with me, and the infantry will follow behind. "
"As you command!"
Wu Dayong answered loudly.
He hurried to make arrangements and quickly notified the troops to assemble.
"Report!"
Just when Guan Yu gave the order to mobilize troops, and the army was gathering, but before the troops were dispatched, they saw shouts coming from outside the military camp. A cavalryman ran over quickly and reported: "General Guan, something bad has happened. Suraduo City was attacked fiercely, and we were defeated. Now, the entire army is in disarray."
boom! !
Guan Yu's mind seemed to explode.
The whole person's expression froze.
Lost again!
The city of Suratra was lost again!
This time, he was plotted again by the people of the Roman Empire.
Guan Yu now fully understood that the Roman Empire's maritime army at Guwani Port was a bait, deliberately drawing him here. In fact, the Roman Empire's army had already landed at other ports, bypassing the Guwani port, which focused his attention on the Guwani port. Instead, the city of Suratra was empty.
As a result, the remaining army was defeated.
Liao Jian also came over. He looked a little helpless and asked: "General Guan, we have lost Suratto City now. I suggest that we immediately send troops to Suratto City and take back the city. As long as we defeat the enemy, Even though we lost the city and fell into the trap, the impact was not big."
"no!"
Guan Yu decisively denied it.
He felt helpless.
Last time, he failed to defend the city of Suradha, and this time he lost the city again.
It's really embarrassing.
But, he met it.
Guan Yu quickly said: "When we leave the Guwani port now, we are abandoning the guarding position and taking the initiative to send it to the door. You must know that we only have more than 10,000 soldiers and a small force. We are definitely no match for the Roman Empire's army."
"If you take the initiative to attack, you will most likely hit an egg with a stone."
"We lost and the situation was even worse."
"The Roman Empire has a large army. After capturing the city of Sutra, with the help of the fortified city, even if we don't leave the city, we can't do anything to the opponent. Now, if we have to leave the defensive position of the port to fight, we will give up our advantages and use our own power to fight. One's shortcomings attack the other's strengths."
"This is absolutely not okay."
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and further said: "In addition, there is food and grass in Guwani Port. Now, we use the food and grass in the port to defend the camp. Even if the Roman Empire's army comes to kill, we can defend and delay the situation."
Liao Jian thought carefully and said, "General Guan is wise!"
Guan Yu said: "Now, we are really asking for help from Your Majesty. This time, we have to ask for help from Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to send troops to help quickly. Alas, it was like this last time. This time, it is like this again. This general is really embarrassed. "
Liao Jian had no choice but to respond decisively and first arranged for the soldiers seeking help to go to Hua's City.
After everything was arranged, Guan Yu and Liao Jian stayed to guard.
