The wind of the autumn night has brought a hint of chill.
Riding the Luma given to him by Cao Cao, Liu Bei looked calm, but his heart was in turmoil.
The day to eliminate thieves is the day to rise.
Soon, we arrived outside Cao's camp. From a few miles away, we could see through the bonfire in the camp that the soldiers were staggering around, either leaning on the camp gate and dozing with their spears in their hands, or simply squinting back to back.
It seems that Cao Jun was indeed deeply poisoned.
After Liu Bei looked at it intently for a moment, he ordered: "Yun Changyide, after we attack the camp later, don't worry about the others and go straight to the Chinese army's tent. As long as Cao Cao is killed, Cao Cao's army will be in chaos!"
"Here!"
The two responded and smiled at each other, leading a group of cavalry to quickly touch it.
The two men took the lead and shot down the guards at the camp gate with a single shot. They then raised their weapons and began to charge.
Liu Bei behind him drew his double swords and followed closely.
It wasn't until the army rushed in that Liu Bei noticed that something was wrong. Even if Cao Ying was seriously ill, it would not be possible for the army to rush in and no one would be able to meet the enemy.
However, the charge has already begun, and there is no room for retreat, and they can only kill in depth.
During the process, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who opened the way, kept flying bonfires and igniting tents one after another.
After walking for a while, Guan Yu was the first to stop, turned around and shouted: "Brother, there is no one in these military tents!"
not good!
Fell into a trap!
Liu Bei's heart sank, and he immediately understood that this was a trap. Even if he was poisoned, he would not be indifferent even if the tent was burned down.
When he was about to call for retreat, a scream came from behind.
Turning his head to look, he saw a rain of fire falling on the back of the team, not only knocking over hundreds of infantry, but also clearly reflecting the dim light of the camp.
At the same time, a group of people rushed out from the gate, led by Le Jin and Li Dian.
Now it was too late to retreat. Liu Bei made a decisive decision and shouted: "Come to the central army tent and join Lu Bu!"
Fortunately, he still had reinforcements, otherwise if the lone army fell here, there would be no possibility of retreat.
But he didn't expect that Lin Mo would still not be able to gain Cao Cao after setting up such a plan to hide the truth. Liu Bei even sighed at Cao Cao's power.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the cavalry all the way to clear the way. From time to time, Cao's troops approached and were killed, and soon they rushed to the Chinese army's tent.
"Where is Lu Bu!" Zhang Fei roared in a thunderous voice.
He was responded to by Cao's troops pouring out from all directions. Yu Jin raised his spear and shouted: "Kill the big-eared thief, and you will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"
Cao Jun's soldiers repeated the rewards one after another, motivating others and motivating themselves.
Liu Bei looked around blankly. The sounds of killing the big-eared thief echoed in his ears, impacting his nerves.
How could this happen? Why did this happen? Where is Lu Bu? Where did Lu Bu go?
"Brother, retreat first. My third brother and I will break up the rear!" Guan Yu waved the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and cut down the oncoming cavalry with one move.
"Brother, retreat quickly!" Zhang Fei penetrated a commander of Cao's army and slammed him into the crowd of Cao's army.
withdraw.
Where to retreat?
There are people everywhere!
Liu Bei almost subconsciously slashed the male and female swords to kill the approaching Cao Jun, but he never really retreated.
It's not that I don't want to evacuate, but I don't know where to evacuate, like a boat that has lost its course.
"Brother! East Gate!"
At Guan Yu's reminder, Liu Bei suddenly realized, yes, it was agreed that he would enter from the east gate. Maybe he would be entangled by Cao's army at the east gate at this time. As long as the two armies merged, there would be a way to survive.
"Soldiers, follow me and fight out!"
Liu Bei grabbed Lu Ma and rushed towards Dongzhai, "Second brother and third brother! Don't be reluctant to fight, retreat quickly!"
Running wildly all the way, people in the long team behind them were constantly entangled and killed by Cao Jun who rushed out from left and right.
The team was killing less and less, but when they were about to arrive at the East Village, a group of cavalry rushed out.
Xu Chu, who was leading the way, raised his iron sword high and shouted: "Big-eared thief, today will be your death anniversary next year!"
Liu Bei quickly reined in his horse, and just when he stopped, the iron sword was already coming towards him.
Upon seeing this, Liu Bei quickly crossed his two swords to block. Xu Chu, who was known for his strength, struck with a blow that had the power to break mountains. After the crisp golden sound, Liu Bei's body became unstable. The sword in his left hand was knocked down, leaving only the sword in his right hand. Still barely holding on.
When it comes to personal martial arts, Liu Bei is not as good as Xu Chu, but his swordsmanship is also outstanding. In addition, he has been fighting for many years, so he should not be so vulnerable. However, Xu Chu came too quickly, and his sword swing was extremely powerful. After hitting Liu Bei, the weapon dropped.
"The big-eared thief is crowned!" Xu Chu rotated the iron knife and cut it. The blade was opened three inches from the throat by an equally overbearing force, and the sparks even hit Liu Bei's neck.
"Third brother, take the eldest brother and rush out, I will cut off my own back!" Guan Yu Hengdao immediately blocked Xu Chu, letting the tiger and leopard ride past the two of them like wolves and pounce on the sergeant behind him without caring.
Liu Bei didn't even react, and was pulled by a huge force. After Zhang Fei easily penetrated the armor of the tiger and leopard rider with a snake spear under his arm, he pulled the reins of Lu Ma, and the whole horse turned around. direction.
"Brother, let's go!"
"Yun Chang, come quickly!"
Liu Bei's voice became more and more distant.
They were already in a one-sided situation, but after being charged like this by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Liu Bei's troops were immediately reduced to pieces, and Cao Jun defeated them one by one with a tacit understanding.
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Chu disdainfully.
When he was in Xuchang, Xu Chu felt that the red phoenix eyes were particularly unpleasant. He even told Dian Wei in private that he wanted to shave off Guan Yu's beard, and today he was able to do so.
Xu Chu swung his sword and slashed at Guan Yu. The two were fighting, and the two swords made clanging sounds and fire was flying. On the chaotic battlefield, ordinary soldiers could not get close at all, and the two fought fiercely like a revolving door.
In terms of martial arts alone, Guan Yu at this stage is probably slightly stronger than Xu Chu, but to say that the winner can be determined within a hundred rounds is probably just a fantasy.
Seeing Liu Jun being pressed down and beaten by his own soldiers, the centurion of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry shouted: "General, don't panic, I'll help you!"
A battle that was originally evenly matched is like an initially balanced scale. A single ant may tilt the scale.
Obviously, the Tigers and Leopards are not ants, they are wolves.
Long before the battle in Anfeng County, Guan Yu had seen the ferocity of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and knew that if he was surrounded by Xu Chu and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, he would be separated from his eldest brother and his third brother forever.
After he put aside Xu Chu's iron sword, he turned around and swept across. The powerful and heavy blow should have been able to sweep away a group of tigers and leopards. Unexpectedly, the opponent's tacit understanding was so high that Guan Yu was shocked.
A group of three cavalrymen raised their guns at the same time and took the initiative to block the attack, defusing the blow abruptly.
When he turned around, Xu Chu grasped the iron sword tightly in both hands and swept across the army. Realizing that it was too late to block this attack, Guan Yu quickly leaned back.
You can clearly feel a chill in your throat.
When masters compete with each other, they are not distracted at all. Get out quickly, otherwise it will be too late!
Guan Yu, who was arrogant in the world, also understood that it was impossible for him to stop Xu Chu and Hubaoqi by himself, so he took advantage of the gap in the attack to drag his horse and escape.
Guan Yu wanted to escape from the gate of the village guarded by tiger and leopard cavalry. Guan Yu knew that it would be extremely difficult, so he turned his horse's head, not caring which way Liu Bei ran, and chose a direction with weaker troops and galloped away. Don’t forget to shout: “Get out quickly!”
In fact, this sentence was just shouted to myself. Cao's camp was already filled with blood, and the most reliable way to survive the one-sided situation was to put down the weapon.
Of course, there was also a small group of cavalry who ran around in the scattered tents, came to the edge of the camp, jumped out of the railing, and walked away.
Such as Liu Bei.
Under the protection of Zhang Fei and more than a hundred cavalry, Lu Ma carved a bloody path, leaping high and flying over the guardrail that was more than ten feet high.
After rushing out of the camp, they still didn't dare to stay because there were still cavalry chasing after them.
Zhang Fei looked after Liu Bei while killing the approaching pursuers.
I don't know how far I ran, but I finally saw no pursuers behind me. However, except for Zhang Fei, only six riders were still following Liu Bei at this time.
Liu Bei was so angry that he stumbled and fell down after jumping off his horse. Zhang Fei hurriedly helped him steady.
After pushing Zhang Fei away, Liu Bei looked around, but it was pitch black. Apart from the sound of heavy breathing, the only sound he could hear was the wind.
"Yun Chang!!!" Liu Bei suddenly shouted, and his response was an empty echo.
Half an hour ago, I was still longing for the beauty of protecting the great man and slaying the national traitors.
But now, there are only six riders left in the tens of thousands of troops, and even Guan Yu doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.
The pain of defeat, shattered ideals, separation of brothers and sisters
The howling night wind blew against his face. Liu Bei looked down at his empty hands. Even his two swords were lost one after another.
For a moment, he felt a sense of sadness welling up in his heart. He suddenly felt dazed and scarlet blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
"Brother! Big brother! What's wrong with you!" Zhang Fei was worried, worried that Liu Bei might have suffered internal injuries, so he checked up and down.
Liu Bei slowly raised his right hand and put it on Zhang Fei's shoulder, "Yide, let's go find Yunchang."
In this world, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are people worthy of Liu Bei's struggle.
Even if there were thousands of troops in Cao's camp at this moment, he would not look back.
"Let's go! Brother, I'll help you get on the horse!"
With tears in his eyes, Zhang Fei helped Liu Bei onto the Luma again, and then he jumped onto the Wuzui horse.
Speeding all the way towards Cao Ying.
On the way, he met several soldiers who were in a state of embarrassment and even lost their weapons. Zhang Fei immediately stepped forward to block them.
"Third general, my lord."
Seeing Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, several people were relieved. After breathing a sigh of relief, they could no longer run and lay down on the ground, breathing heavily.
"Hey! Have you seen my second brother?"
"General Guan Guan, retreat toward the south."
"Hahaha!"
As soon as he heard that Guan Yu was fine, Zhang Fei didn't feel the humiliation of defeat and laughed and said: "Brother, second brother is fine!"
Liu Bei also breathed a sigh of relief. Taoyuan was sworn in, and the lives of the three of them were tied together. He had the same idea as Zhang Fei, as long as Guan Yu was not in the way, he would be defeated.
As long as brothers are around, there is hope of survival and confidence in making a comeback.
"Brother, the second brother will definitely go to Jiujiang after escaping. Let's go find Lu Bu and ask him why he didn't come as promised!" Zhang Fei was very angry and planned to launch an army to hold him accountable.
"Go to Jingzhou, Yide."
Liu Bei's complexion obviously softened a lot. Looking at Zhang Fei who looked puzzled, he sighed: "Don't you understand that all this is Lu Bu's design?"
Hearing this, Zhang Fei suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, and he asked as if he wanted to eat someone: "Brother, are you saying that Lu Bu deliberately lured us to rob the camp, and that he wanted to kill us?"
"Just now, Cao Cao's camp was full of people from all directions, and all the generals showed up. It is obviously not possible that there was an ambush that delayed the siege of the camp."
Compared with first-class counselors, Liu Bei is of course beyond reach with his fingers, but he is not a fool. By this time, he has already understood, "I guess he wants us to consume Cao Cao for a while, and then he will lead his troops to fight out." , reap the benefits of being a fisherman."
"Slave with three surnames!"
Zhang Fei picked up the Zhangba snake spear and gritted his teeth, "Brother, I have to stab this guy!"
"Yide! It's important to find Yun Chang!"
Without soldiers and horses, you don't even have the capital to talk. Liu Bei knew this and said casually: "Before the expedition, I told Yunchang that as a last resort, I would go to Jingzhou to find Mr. Liu Qi. I think he will also go to Jingzhou to find us." of."
Of course, revenge was not as important as seeking revenge on his second brother. Zhang Fei snorted coldly and muttered: "The thief Lu Bu, a slave of the third surname!"
In Cao's camp, the killing has not stopped, but the noise has been very low, apparently just to eliminate the remaining forces.
On the high ground in the distance, Cao Cao inspected the battlefield with his hands behind his back.
Liu Bei was finally taken care of, and Cao Cao felt like he had finally let out his bad breath and felt happy.
He wanted to use his actions to tell the civil and military ministers in the court that whoever betrays me, Cao Cao, will end up like this.
Cao Cao felt happy in his heart. Guo Jia on the side seemed to suddenly think of something and ran over quickly with a shocked look on his face. "Sikong, I'm suspicious. We've been tricked."
"Fell into a trap?"
Cao Cao turned around and stared at him suspiciously, "What's the trick?"
Guo Jia, who thought he was free and easy, always had a calm look in his eyes, but today for the first time, he was filled with a sense of horror, "I suspect that the poisonous grain and grass were not given to us, but were made for Liu Bei to see. This Everything is Lin Mo's plan."
"make it clear."
Just when Cao Cao was feeling uneasy, the sound of galloping horse hooves came closer and closer.
In the dark night, it was difficult to see the leader clearly, but the Fangtian painted halberd in his hand flashed coldly under the moonlight, seeming to announce the identity of its owner.
"Not good!!!" Cao Cao blurted out in shock.
The sergeants in the village had just gone through an encirclement and suppression battle. It was not a bloody battle, and most of their strength had been lost.
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
An army that has just finished fighting is the most undefended time.
Moreover, at this time, the army was in the stronghold, thinking of killing a few more remaining forces to earn some merit. At this time, Lu Bu suddenly led his troops to kill, and his people would be eaten up like a flock of sheep.
