Seeing Guan Yu vomiting blood in front of him, all the generals on the left and right turned pale with fright, and swarmed around him.
"General, are you okay?" Zhao Lei, who was the closest, was afraid that Guan Yu would faint when he vomited blood in anger, so he hurriedly reached out to help him.
"Go away" Guan Yu didn't appreciate it and blocked Zhao Lei's hand.
After a few mouthfuls of blood, the raging anger seemed to be vented, and the pain in the chest eased a bit.
Guan Yu endured the hardship and straightened up. His eyes full of hatred extended towards the direction of the police. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said sternly: "Send the order to the whole army to move forward quickly. I will take back Nanjun and cut off Liu Feng's beast with my own hands." Dog head.¡±
"General, Jiangling and Gong'an have been captured by the enemy, and the families of the soldiers have all fallen into the hands of the enemy. If word spreads, the morale of the army will soon be shaken. At this point, the general will think it is better to evacuate to Shu first"
"shut up"
Zhao Lei originally wanted to persuade Guan Yu to give up his plan to regain Nanjun. Taking advantage of the fact that the road into Sichuan was not cut off, he immediately led his army to move to the west of Jianping Yidu County. After receiving reinforcements from Shuzhong, he would try his best to recapture Jingzhou, but Before he finished speaking, Guan Yu snapped.
Those red phoenix eyes were filled with resentment and heaviness. Guan Yu said with a livid face: "General Zuo entrusted Jingzhou to my hands. If I just let Jingzhou fall into the hands of that beast like Liu Feng, what shame would I have left?" See General Zuo. I have made up my mind. Anyone who dares to say anything else will be killed immediately."
After reaching this point, Guan Yu was still so stubborn and refused to listen to advice. He threatened to kill him. Naturally, no one from Zhao Lei down would dare to speak out.
On the same day, Guan Yu ordered to conceal the news that Nanjun had been lost, and the entire army rushed to Gong'an City. However, along the way, soldiers and civilians fleeing south could be encountered from time to time. How could this news be concealed? After hearing the bad news that Nanjun had been captured and all their families were lost, the morale of the military gradually changed.
At dusk the next day, Guan Yu led his army and finally rushed to the gate of Gong'an City.
Liu Feng, who had already detected the movements of Guan Yu's army, now led 7,000 troops and formed a formation behind the city, waiting for Guan Yu's army to attack.
The dusk sun is still lingering on the horizon reluctantly. The thick clouds are like armor on a soldier, covering it tightly. The sunset adds a layer of bright color to the sky and the earth.
Seven thousand Liu Fengjun soldiers stood quietly in the dusk. They lined up in neat lines. The huge military formation stretched 500 feet from the public security to the south.
The heavy and messy sounds of horses' hooves on the ground, and the gasps of men and horses were getting closer and closer. Looking to the south, I saw billowing smoke and dust rising into the sky, and a murderous army was marching towards the Public Security City.
Under that high-flying flag, Liu Feng was stroking Lu's mane, his expression calm and composed, as if he didn't even pay attention to the approaching vengeful enemy.
Amidst the distant and long sound of the horn, an army formation with horse and foot coordination slowly pushed forward. Halberdiers, spearmen, crossbowmen, archers, and spearmen were all arranged in a well-proportioned manner, and hundreds of cavalry were patrolling on both wings to protect them.
At a glance, the entire military formation was arranged seamlessly. There were only a handful of generals in the world who could arrange such a military formation. Liu Feng had to admit that Guan Yu was indeed a rare and famous general in the world.
The Jingzhou Northern Army led by Guan Yu is an elite army that has experienced battles for a long time. There is no doubt that its combat effectiveness is higher than that of the Changsha Army led by Liu Feng. Moreover, among Liu Feng's troops, there were also many newly recruited surrendered troops who had been recruited for less than a few days. Although the combat effectiveness of these surrendered troops was not weak, they were currently undecided and could only be used to fill the window.
Although the enemy army is strong, Liu Feng has a unique trick.
On the opposite side, the large formation of Guan Yu's army slowly approached, and in a blink of an eye it was close to more than 300 steps. The two armies formed a line, facing each other from north to south.
Guan Yu jumped on his horse in front of the formation, standing with his sword horizontally, Danfeng's eyes coldly scanning the enemy formation opposite.
At a glance, he saw the high flag with the word "Liu" flying high. Under the flag, the silver-robed general stood majestically. He didn't need to look closely to know that it was Liu Feng.
The man whom Guan Yu hated to the core of his bones, met again at this moment. Guan Yu could only wish to rush forward and cut the hateful man into pieces.
But Guan Yu also knew that it was no longer the time for Guandu to confront Yan Liang, and his unique skill of "killing with one sword" was no longer useful.
"Okay, beast, let me show you my true strength, Guan Yu."
Before he finished speaking, Guan Yu's sword volleyed forward, and the sound of trumpets and drums suddenly sounded. The huge infantry formation roared, and the soldiers' front pointed at the sky pressed forward, forming a terrifying forest of death. Amidst the sound of metal rubbing against armor, he walked towards the police city step by step.The enemy formation was pushed away flatly.
Eight thousand people, walking in astonishing unison, each step forward made the ground shake faintly. Eight thousand people, like a fierce giant, roared forward.
Once upon a time, Liu Feng also defeated Guan Yu's attack, but that time he relied on Linxiang's solid city and caught Guan Yu off guard. But now, he had to face this powerful enemy in the field.
The soldiers on the left and right, faced with the enemy's fierce aura, showed fear in their expressions.
Liu Feng was still calm and composed. He crossed his arms on his chest and held the silver gun in his arms, watching the enemy troops approaching with cold eyes.
In the blink of an eye, the enemy's position was approaching more than 200 steps, and the speed of advancement accelerated.
The time has come, Liu Feng raised his eyebrows and suddenly shouted: "Open the formation!"
At the command, the military flag waved, and the seven thousand infantry formation quickly retreated to the two wings.
The enemy has entered a state of accelerated impact. In this case, according to the art of war, the defending party should use bows and crossbows to meet the attack, and the infantry should be prepared to respond to the impact. Such a temporary change of formation is tantamount to disrupting the formation, which is an extremely dangerous matter in terms of military tactics.
Guan Yu, who was in the impact, was naturally surprised by Liu Fengjun's unconventional change of formation, but this still could not affect his desire for revenge. He moved the Qinglong Sword again and again, and shouted at the soldiers to continue advancing.
A hundred steps later, something unexpected happened.
I saw the gate of the Public Security City suddenly opened, and countless men, women, old and children squeezed out of the city. These civilians who were tied up with ropes were driven to the gap behind the formations. They were crying and shouting, and it became a chaos. A pot of porridge.
Guan Yu's army, which was in the midst of an attack, was immediately in an uproar when they saw this formation.
The civilians on the opposite side were shouting words like "son," "husband," and "father." This desolate voice of acknowledging relatives immediately lifted the morale of Guan Yu's army, which was like a tiger and a wolf. collapse.
This is Liu Feng¡¯s trick.
In fact, most of the family members of the generals and soldiers commanded by Guan Yu lived in Jiangling. Liu Feng simply did not have time to transport so many family members to the police. Most of them, old and young, were local civilians. They only received rewards and were ordered to pretend to be the family members of Guan Yu's army. , crying in front of the formation.
Despite this, the two armies were so far apart, and the thousands of civilians were mixed together, and no one could identify who was who.
But all the soldiers of Guan Yu knew that Nanjun had been destroyed and all their families had fallen into the hands of the enemy. Now a group of old and young people suddenly appeared crying for their fathers and mothers, so they naturally believed that they were their relatives.
The morale of the army collapsed in an instant.
The originally fierce and orderly military formation suddenly collapsed.
The hundreds of soldiers who were in the lead first threw away their weapons, discarded their helmets and armor, and ran towards Liu Feng's formation, crying.
"The first few hundred people collapsed, just like the last straw that broke the camel's back. It was a few hundred people at first, then hundreds and thousands, and dispersed like ants that burst their nests.
"Stop, stop for me, anyone who dares to leave the formation without permission will be killed without mercy."
Guan Yu shouted sharply and swung the Qinglong Sword, killing several soldiers who fled to the opposite side. However, he still could not stop the collapse of the military formation. In just a moment, the originally majestic infantry formation collapsed. After being shattered, those who did not abandon Guan Yu left less than five hundred soldiers and horses.
¡°General, the situation is over, let¡¯s retreat to the middle of Shu.¡± Zhao Lei beside him shouted anxiously.
"General, there is a rebel army covering us now. It's still too late to retreat. If we wait until the enemy launches an offensive, we won't be able to escape." Liao Huayi persuaded anxiously.
Looking at the vast sea of ??deserted soldiers, Guan Yu's eyes that once despised everything were now filled with a sense of incomparable loneliness and disappointment.
"Is my reputation as Guan Yu ruined in one day?"
Looking up to the sky and sighing, after a moment, Guan Yu shook his head helplessly and turned his horse to go west.
Liu Feng used a clever strategy to defeat Guan Yu's eight thousand army without any bloodshed, and surrendered as many as seven thousand soldiers.
Liu Feng knew that in this situation, Guan Yu had no choice but to flee westward to central Shu. At this time, Ma Di was leading an army to attack Yidu. In order to prevent Ma Di from being attacked from both sides by Guan Yu and the Yidu defenders, Liu Feng immediately ordered Huang Zhong to lead the army to advance north quickly and take over the defense of the public security forces. Liu Feng himself led the army. The army went straight upstream of Changshao.
If Guan Yu wants to escape to the west from Shu, he must pass through Yidao, Xiling and other places, and cross the entire Yidu County. The road leading west to Yidu County is full of mountains and ridges. The only way to go west is by taking the flat road along the river. , In this case, Chengxiang, which is near the river, is the only place that Guan Yu must pass through on his way to the west.
Liu Feng made a pre-judgment, so he decisively took the waterway westward from the Public Security Bureau. When Guan Yu and his hungry peopleAs soon as a hundred remnant soldiers entered Chengxiang, Liu Feng's army arrived at the rear. Four thousand soldiers and horses surrounded the small Chengxiang city.
¡¡¡¡
Dangyang.
A brightly-armored and energetic army was marching rapidly toward Jiangling along the southward road.
This place is less than two hundred miles away from Jiangling City.
Once upon a time, Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry defeated Liu Bei here. After many years, the desolate ruins after the war can still be seen here.
Cao Ren was standing on the hillside, looking south, and many old memories came to mind.
A horseman galloped up to the ground, and reported: "Report to the general, Liu Feng has led his army south to the police station, and there are only a few thousand soldiers and horses in Jiangling City at this moment."
Cao Ren nodded slightly and looked far into the distance, as if the familiar city was right in front of him.
The sad place where I once was, I, Cao Ren, am back again.
The corners of his mouth were slightly upward, showing a bit of pride. He waved his whip and pointed in the distance, saying loudly: "Send the order to the whole army to speed up and reach the gate of Jiangling City within two days.".
