Guan Yu suddenly saw Yuan Fang throwing something at him. He thought it was a hidden weapon and swung it with his sword without thinking.
There was a "bang" sound, and the flying head was slapped out by the back of the knife, but was blocked by Guan Yu and fell a few steps away diagonally.
When he made his move, Guan Yu realized that the object thrown by Yuan Fang turned out to be a human head.
Blocking the human head, he subconsciously moved his eyes and glanced away. When his red phoenix eyes recognized the face of the human head, his red face suddenly changed color.
Guan Ping!
That turned out to be his adopted son, Guan Ping¡¯s head!
A heavy hammer hit Guan Yu's heart hard, and endless shock crashed into his heart like a wild horse running wild.
That red face, in an instant, was so angry that it almost exploded.
"Ping'er, this little thief, he actually killed my Ping'er!"
Guan Yu, who was about to vomit blood, suddenly raised his head, glared at Yuan Fang, and cursed in a restless voice: "You little thief, if you kill my adopted son, I will break his body into thousands of pieces~~"
Appreciating the furious Guan Yu, Yuan Fang sneered: "Guan Yu, in order to kill me, you went to Yuan Shao shamelessly and wanted to burn me to death. This is the price you deserve."
¡°Yuan Fang, you beast, come here and kill them all~~¡±
Crazy Guan Yu did not impulsively step forward to fight alone, but scolded the soldiers of the Northern Army on the left and right, hoping to take advantage of the strength of their numbers to surround and kill Yuan Fang and Zhang Fei.
Although he hated that his adopted son was killed, he clearly knew that he could not defeat even Zhang Fei. Now that he had Yuan Fang added to him, if he forced a fight, he would only be seeking his own death.
Under Guan Yu's urging, hundreds of soldiers from the Northern Army attacked. He mustered up his courage and rushed towards Yuan Fang and thousands of Southern troops with a roar.
"There is no need to get entangled with them. Send an order quickly to withdraw the entire army to the south bank of Pu River." Yuan Fang ordered calmly.
Zhang Fei also knew that the situation was unfavorable to his army. Seeing that Yuan Fang had nothing to do and had no intention of fighting with Guan Yu, he immediately led his army to break out of the encirclement and retreat to the south bank.
And Yan Liang, who was fighting fiercely on the east wing, saw Yuan Fang's general flag giving orders. I am happy that Yuan Fang is not dead. He immediately stopped entangled with Gao Lan and turned his horse away.
Although the Northern Army was numerous, the siege formation had not yet been completed, and Yuan Fang commanded his elite troops. Fight your way south. Standing out from the siege. Killed to the north bank of Pu River.
Two thousand of the more than five thousand troops have been lost, and the remaining bloody soldiers have waded through the water and retreated to the south bank.
And this time. Guan Yu and other generals urged the army to pursue them from all directions towards the river bank.
"My lord, you retreat first, we will break up the rear!" Yan Liang shouted.
Yuan Fang said calmly: "I have a red rabbit horse, which can wade through water as if it were on flat ground. You guys should retreat first."
"But my lord"
"This is an order, stop talking nonsense and get out of here!" Yuan Fang shouted sharply.
The military order had been issued. Zhang Fei and Yan Liang did not dare to disobey, so they had no choice but to ride their horses into the river and lead the remaining soldiers to wade to the south bank.
Yuan Fangze stood proudly with a horizontal halberd, and led his five hundred sword and shield troops to line up on the river beach to cover the retreat of the large army.
Zhang Jia and Gao Lan, two generals from Hebei Province, took the lead with four to five thousand soldiers and horses, and chased them to the river bank. Ten times the number of enemy troops saw Yuan Fang standing proudly with his halberd, and they did not dare to attack.
It seems that these fierce enemies are intimidated by Yuan Fang's power and do not dare to approach.
Yuan Fang stood proudly, covering a large number of soldiers and horses as they retreated to the other side. Then, he led five hundred troops and slowly waded across the river to the south bank in a leisurely manner.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????opened his jaw and watched Yuan Fang go away, secretly sighing: "This Yuan Fang is really amazing, I can't kill him like this. I'm afraid my lord's southern expedition will not be that easy"
When they were sighing here, Guan Yu had already led a large army of soldiers and horses to pursue him.
"Why don't you pursue me?" Guan Yu shouted angrily.
He opened his jaw, calmed down his thoughts, and said coldly: "The enemy has escaped across the Pu River, how can we pursue them?"
Guan Yu¡¯s eyes widened with anger, but he had no choice but to open his jaw, so he had no choice but to ride his horse and lead his army to the river bank.
In the distance, Yuan Fang was already halfway across the river and beyond the range of his crossbow. Whatever Guan Yu tried to do was in vain.
Standing on the shore of the horse, Guan Yu could only stare, helplessly watching Yuan Fangyang ascend to the south bank.
"Yuan Fang, you kill me Ping'er, just wait for me, sooner or later I will cut you into pieces, just wait for me -"
The helpless Guan Yu could only gnash his teeth and swear a heavy oath to vent his anger.
On the south bank of Pu River, Yuan Fang finally stepped onto the beach.
Looking around at the soldiers on the shore, there are only more than 3,000 soldiers left, and most of them are wounded. On the surface, this battle looks like,Yuan Fang did lose.
However, Yuan Fang killed Guan Ping and unexpectedly gained new biochemical abilities. After careful calculation, he actually made a profit.
"This battle was really dangerous. Fortunately, my lord is fine. I just wish I couldn't kill Guan Yu." Zhang Fei said regretfully.
But Yuan Fang smiled faintly: "This battle is not dangerous. I killed Guan Yu's adopted son, which was enough to make him feel painful for a while. Let's go back to the camp quickly."
Yuan Fang estimated that Yuan Shao had heard the news that he had fallen into the trap and was probably gathering all his troops to invade Lihu's camp.
Although Gao Shun and Zhuge Liang were in the camp, he was not in charge after all, which would affect the morale of the army. He must rush back to the camp as soon as possible.
At the moment, Yuan Fang didn't even take a breath, and led the three thousand soldiers and horses who had survived the disaster, and rushed towards the Lihu camp non-stop.
This time, Yuan Fang no longer needed to conceal his whereabouts, but when he encountered the Northern Army's checkpoints and patrols, he killed them all directly.
After running for a day and a night, at dusk the next day, Yuan Fang finally appeared on the south bank of Lihu, separated by a river.
"Yuan Shao, this old guy, really wants to take advantage of the opportunity to attack my camp"
Yuan Fang raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and without hesitation, he immediately ordered the entire army to cross the river and quickly return to Lihu to take charge of the overall situation.
On the front line of Lihu, the sound of drums shook the sky, and the sound of killings was like a tide.
From the north gate of Lihu to the Horn Camp in the west of the city, along a battle line that stretches for several miles, Yuan Shao's army is launching the most powerful attack since the war began.
A tidal wave of enemy soldiers. Those who came forward and followed rushed towards the city walls and camp walls, and the overwhelming flags rolled like waves.
This time, Yuan Shao mobilized nearly 150,000 men and launched an unprecedented storm.
The number of the southern army was less than 90,000. Under the command of Gao Shun and Zhuge Liang, they tenaciously resisted the enemy's fierce attack.
A few hundred steps outside the city, under the huge general's banner, was Yuan Shao in golden armor. Standing proudly. He looked at the siege of the city coldly.
From day to dusk, the attack lasted for nearly a day, but not a single soldier of his was able to board the enemy city.
The Confederate Army¡¯s determination to resist. Unexpectedly tenacious. This made Yuan Shao feel very unhappy.
"The little beasts have fallen into my trap. These bandits should be leaderless and their morale is in turmoil. Why are they still resisting so tenaciously?"
Yuan Shao murmured to himself. His brows were deeply furrowed, and there was a hint of suspicion in his sunken eyes.
At this time, Ju Shuo beside him said hurriedly: "My lord, this must be because the enemy army does not know that Yuan Fang is being surrounded. If they know, how can the morale of the army not be chaotic?"
"Well, it makes sense." Yuan Shao nodded slightly, his eyes moved, and he already had an idea.
Yuan Shaosui waved his whip and ordered the siege to be suspended. The 150,000-strong army retreated from the city first and lined up to wait for orders.
The golden sound sounded, and the densely packed Northern troops retreated all the way, forming large formations stretching for seven or eight miles in the north of the city.
At this time, Yuan Shao rode out on his horse, and under the protection of five hundred personal guards holding iron shields, he walked towards the north gate of Lihu with his head held high.
More than one hundred and seventy steps away, Yuan Shaole stopped his horse. At such a distance, no one could hurt him unless he was a marksman who could draw a six-stone bow.
Yuan Shao believed that there was no such person in Yuan Fang's army.
At the top of the city, Gao Shun and Zhuge Liang stood side by side. The two looked at each other with doubts on their faces. They didn't know what Yuan Shao's intention was when he appeared.
Looking at the city with contempt, Yuan Shao took a breath and said loudly: "The defenders of Lihu City, listen to me, your master, that rebellious son Yuan Fang, has fallen into my trap of luring the enemy. I have now surrounded Weixiang Liangying, and I am afraid it has been burned to ashes at this time."
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers in the south of the city all changed their colors in shock.
Gao Shun and Zhuge Liang's expressions also changed drastically, with expressions of astonishment on their faces.
You must know that Yuan Fang's mission to rob the enemy camp in Wei Township was a secret operation. Unless it was successful, Yuan Shao would not know about it.
Yuan Shao's words clearly mean that he already knew that Yuan Fang was going to rob the grain camp, and even set up an ambush in advance, waiting for Yuan Fang to fall into the trap.
"It's impossible. Could it be that all of this was Yuan Shao's plan?" Gao Shun, who was as calm as a mountain, couldn't help but be surprised.
Zhuge Liang¡¯s eyebrows were deeply furrowed and his face was gloomy. Although he was silent, he knew that this was indeed Yuan Shao¡¯s plan.
If this is true, Yuan Fang¡¯s departure would be a disaster!
Outside the city, Yuan Shao looked at the alarmed Confederate soldiers, a smug sneer appearing on his old face.
He raised his voice again, pointed his whip at the city head, and said loudly: "The rebellious son betrayed his father and killed his brother, and he deserved his death. If you continue to resist, there is no point at all except for the burial of that little beast. Give up resistance, Surrender Kaicheng, I, Yuan Shao, am magnanimous and will definitely forgive your sins regardless of past grudges. "
After Yuan Shao disrupted the morale of the Southern Army, he immediately took advantage of the situation to recruit surrender, hoping to defeat Lihu without a fight.
The soldiers of the Southern Army on the front line of the city all looked at each other with panic in their eyes, their willpower quietly disintegrating.
With Yuan Fang here, they are naturally indomitable warriors. If Yuan Fang is really dead, they will lose their spiritual support and their fighting spirit will naturally collapse.
"No way. Master survived a hundred battles and was protected by God. How could he die like this? I never believe it¡ª¡ª"
But Zhuge Liang gritted his teeth, his expression as determined as iron, and he refused to believe it even to the death.
Outside the city, Yuan Shao became even more arrogant and said sternly: "Surrender now, and I will forgive your sins. If you insist on burying that little beast, when the city is destroyed, I will kill every one of you, including you." My wife, children, and children will not be spared!"
Yuan Shao had begun to threaten openly. As soon as he said these words, all the officers and men at the top of the city looked horrified.
In the deathly silence, the morale of the army was rapidly disintegrating.
"Yuan Shao, you regard me as a traitor and call me a little beast. Are you not calling yourself an old beast?"
A sarcastic sneer broke the deathly silence. (To be continued)
