Guan Yu led nearly a hundred personal guards to stand on the mountain outside the city, observing the military situation in Gaotang City. This is a city that Guan Yu is very familiar with. In the past, he, his eldest brother Liu Bei, and his third brother Zhang Fei stationed troops here for many days. Now when he comes back with his army, the city remains the same. Zhang Fei's voice and smile are still in front of his eyes, but he is already in Jiuquan.
"Report! The reinforcements from the Hebei Army Brigade are no more than fifty miles away from Gaotang City!" A scout rushed over with a slightly anxious look on his face.
"Hmm" Guan Yu's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent. His army had only been besieging Gaotang for three days when Yuan Shang's reinforcements arrived, so fast! Could it be that the internal fighting between him and Yuan Tan is over?
With a beautiful turn, Guan Yu was already riding on his mount. He waved his hand and said loudly: "Pass my military order, the Chinese army is gathering! First repel the incoming Hebei army!"
On the top of Gaotang City, the Gaotang County Magistrate and the County Lieutenant were setting up a pergola and looking into the distance. From their anxious expressions, they could see the uneasiness in their hearts.
"Sir! There are smoke and dust billowing in the distance. Reinforcements must have arrived!" The county lieutenant suddenly pointed to the east with his hand and shouted excitedly.
The county magistrate was older and his eyesight was not very good. Hearing this, he quickly took a closer look and saw that the Hebei army was all wearing bronze armor. The faint yellow light flashing in the distance must be the Hebei army coming to rescue Gaotang. undoubtedly!
Gaotang County Magistrate Fang breathed a sigh of relief. The reinforcements had arrived so quickly. Gaotang City could be saved, and so could his life and fortune! Immediately afterwards, he saw Guan Yu leading a group of men and horses towards the place where the smoke and dust started. Seeing that their marching formation was orderly and orderly, they must be the elite of Guan Yu's army. The county magistrate couldn't help but feel excited again, seeing Guan Yujun's menacing appearance. If the reinforcements fail, Gaotang City will be in danger!
The county magistrate was watching the battle with uneasiness. A fast horse galloped in from the north gate that Guan Yu's army had not besieged. The knight on the horse quickly climbed up the city wall and forwarded a secret letter to the Gaotang County Magistrate. The county magistrate hurriedly opened it, and his originally gloomy expression suddenly cleared up. He handed the secret letter to the county lieutenant and said with a smile: "Master Shen is really smart! Such a clever plan, I should obey it!"
Three days later. When Shen Pei's figure appeared in Gaotang City, Guan Yu's troops had already retreated. The Gaotang County Magistrate respectfully welcomed Shen Pei into the county office and said with admiration: "According to the order of Lord Shen, in the dark night, under the humble position He sent people to welcome another reinforcement army to quietly enter the city. On the second day, he opened the four gates and hid armored soldiers in the streets and alleys. After Guan Yu repelled the reinforcements from other troops the day before, he was shocked and suspicious at first and did not dare to use troops. Unable to control his temper, he sent three thousand soldiers into the city, but our army intercepted them and annihilated them all inside the city gate! Then our army opened the city gate again. Guan Yu was furious but did not dare to attack again! The morale of our army was greatly boosted. Yesterday, Master Shen came with heavy troops to help, but Guan Yu had no choice but to retreat! Our army took advantage of the victory to pursue it, and captured a lot of baggage!"
Shen Pei was arrogant and liked the flattery of others the most. He was radiant with the words of the Gaotang County Magistrate. He nodded frequently and said: "This time, multiple reinforcements are attacking. Fang has repulsed Guan Yu's bandit army, and the County Magistrate defends Gaotang. In the center The merits are indispensable, and I shall report them to the lord. I will reward you according to my merits!"
The county magistrate was overjoyed when he heard this, with a smile on his face, "Thank you, Lord Shen, for the commendation! I am willing to do my best for this humble position! However Guan Yu's troops have lost a lot of troops, and they have traveled a long distance, and the baggage is heavy. The troops have been captured by our army, and if there are elite troops chasing after them, they will definitely inflict heavy losses on the enemy!"
The judge said with a sneer: "You don't need to wait to remind me about this matter, I have already made arrangements!"
Qingfengdu is the nearest ferry from Gaotang to the south bank of the Yellow River. After Guan Yu's army crossed the river, Du Yuan, the remaining general, led a thousand troops to garrison here as a way out.
After being lured into the city by the Gaotang County magistrate and losing 3,000 troops, Guan Yu was filled with depression in the face of more and more Hebei reinforcements. After assessing the situation, he had no choice but to retreat, leaving a large amount of food, grass and baggage for Gaotang. Captured by the garrison.
From the beginning, Guan Yu was surprised by the speed of the Hebei army's reinforcements. He did not expect that the brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang would fight each other endlessly when there was no invasion of foreign enemies. But once a foreign enemy invaded, they would invade and invade. If they share common interests, the two will quickly unite to defend against foreign enemies.
Outside and Anni, sometimes it is a wonderful combination.
Guan Yu was excellent in military force and loyal to Liu Bei. What he lacked was military strategy. Although he studied hard in the later period, he only read a few books, such as "Spring and Autumn". In this regard, he is inferior to Zhang Fei. Facing a first-class counselor like Shen Pei, he is even more stretched and difficult to deal with.
Just when Guan Yu was leading his army to retreat to Qingfengdu, he suddenly heard the sound of a cannon and a group of men and horses came from the east. The leader, a general, leapt on his horse with his gun across the horse and shouted: "Don't leave, the red-faced thief! Ma Yan is here!" "
Just when Guan Yu was about to attack, he heard another cannon fire, and a group of troops came from the west. They wrote a big word "Zhang" on the flag. Guan Yu recognized that this person was not Yuan Shang's tribe.Who is Zhang Wei?
A tall soldier flashed behind Zhang Wei, raised a huge human head with a halberd, and shouted loudly: "The traitor Du Yuan has been beheaded! Why don't you surrender soon?"
Angry flames ignited in Guan Yu's eyes, and his general Du Yuan followed him all the way. He was extremely loyal. He didn't expect to be killed by Zhang Wei here. If he doesn't avenge this revenge, he is not a gentleman!
With blood all over his body, Guan Yu immediately ordered that he and his general Zhou Cang divide their troops into two places to meet the enemy respectively. He slapped his horse and brandished his sword, and rushed straight towards Zhang Wei, hoping to avenge Du Yuan.
Ma Yan and Zhang Wei's troops were all elite soldiers who stayed in Yecheng. They did not lose morale in the battle of Guandu, so they naturally did not show weakness and rushed forward with shouts. Just when the two armies were fighting inextricably, another cannon was heard, and another group of men and horses came out from behind Guan Yu's army. The leader, the general, patted his horse and swung his gun into the battle group, shouting: "Come Shen Rong." Yes! The Guan Yu dog thief comes quickly to die!
Guan Yu was brave and his Qinglong Yanyue sword was extremely sharp. Wherever the blade passed, no matter whether it was a man or a horse, it was cut in half. However, the Hebei army here surpassed Guan Yu's troops in both strength and combat power. Although Guan Yu fought with his horse in the battle group and was covered in blood, with nearly a hundred Hebei soldiers falling in front of his horse, he sadly discovered that the siege His Hebei army has more and more officers and soldiers, but his own troops are getting less and less!
Two hours later, all the veterans under Guan Yu were dead and wounded, while the newly recruited soldiers fled in all directions and completely collapsed!
The horse under his crotch was already exhausted, and Guan Yu killed nearly a hundred people in foot combat! Guan Yu was finally tired of killing! The Qinglong Yanyue Sword has been curled up, and Guan Yu's arms are getting heavier and heavier, and his pace is getting slower and slower. It is difficult to recover the fierceness from the beginning!
The three generals Shen Rong, Ma Yan, and Zhang Wei were no match for Guan Yu. They also cleverly hid behind many strong soldiers and used their lives to consume Guan Yu's physical strength. When Guan Yu's physical strength was exhausted, they used a fatal blow. hit!
Finally, the three of them joined forces to attack! A knife and two guns pierced into Guan Yu's body, but Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword was no longer able to lift!
Before Guan Yu¡¯s tall body fell, he turned his head and stared deeply at the south bank of the Yellow River for a few times ()
