Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 693
After some torture, it didn't take long for the messenger's mouth to be pried open.

The captain of the sentry cavalry immediately rushed to the commander's tent to report to Wang Zheng: "General, the enemy's messenger has recruited, and Guan Yu has decided to go to rescue Jiangling."

At this moment, Wang Zheng was staring at a topographic map on the table. Hearing this, he asked without raising his head, "How is Guan Yu's army moving?"

The sentry captain said: "I heard from that guy that Guan Yu's barracks broke out five hours ago, but they didn't rush directly to Jiangling, but went south from the northeast direction of the city."

"As expected." Wang Zheng smiled mockingly: "It seems that he still doesn't want to enter the city. This is the camp where he is going to attack Wang Xiong."

"I think so." The sentry captain said with admiration on his face: "The general has a clever plan, mobilizing this fang is as easy as using an arm to drive a finger."

"Oh, that's not how you use your arms and fingers."

Wang Zheng glanced at the sentry cavalry with a half-smile and saw his eyes were red. He didn't know whether he hadn't slept for a long time or was too excited, "Being able to lure Guan Yu out is not in vain. You have worked hard these days." Alright, let's go and rest for a while."

The captain of the sentinel cavalry handed over his promise, but did not leave the tent immediately. After hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward. Even though he knew that there was no way anyone could eavesdrop on Wang Zheng's tent, he still couldn't help asking in a low voice: "General, this dog Now that he has been tricked, how should we surround and kill him next, so as to ensure that he will not be let go?"

Wang Zheng pointed to a point on the topographic map and said, "It's right here."

"This is it?" The sentry captain thought for a while with doubts on his face, and finally remembered: "It's the valley next to Dangyang County, it seems to be called Yuquan Mountain?"

Wang Zheng smiled slightly, "It's next to Dangyang County, but it's not called Yuquan Mountain anymore. The general just gave it a new name."

The sentry captain asked, "What's your name?"

"The name of Yuquan is too common, and it is not worthy of the identity of this General Guan." Wang Zheng's eyes flashed sharply, and he said calmly: "It's better to change it to Xiaoyu."

When I was chatting with my wife Lu Lingqi in Shouchun, I heard the other party mention that in the past when Yanzhou was hunting, Cao Cao had ambushed under his subordinates in the valley outside Dingtao City, intending to burn and kill Lu Bu.

Although the final result was a failure, it was indeed the most thrilling battle in the parachutist's life. After many years, I still have lingering fears. I once told my wife and daughter that Cao Cao's arrangement was indeed a dead end. If it weren't for riding a horse under his crotch, he would be unparalleled in the world. The divine horse, Chitu, gallops through the mountains and forests like walking on flat ground. Even with his martial arts, it may be difficult for him to break out of the encirclement and escape from birth.

After repeatedly failing to lure Guan Yu into the city, Wang Zheng couldn't help thinking of this matter, and then searched hard on the map for a long time, and finally found a place that Cao Cao said was "a place of six dangers, a place of impasse".
It is the just-renamed Shayu Mountain!

The reason why he led the army to seize Dangyang was, on the one hand, to cut off the retreat of the Xiangyang army, but more importantly, it was for the convenience of carefully deploying in Xiaoyu Mountain to ambush and kill Guan Yu!

Now that the location has been selected, the next thing to do is naturally how to lure Guan Yu here.

In this regard, Wang Zheng also planned to continue to learn in Handan. How Cao Cao seduced Lu Bu, he copied it all.

However, because Guan Yu is not an ordinary person after all, although the force value is inferior to Lu Bu, but in terms of intelligence value, he is much better than the opponent. It is not easy to deceive the opponent with fraud. The other party sees through, and they can't pretend too much, so that the fakes become real, or they are really defeated, or their strength is greatly damaged, making this Nanjun a dangerous situation for themselves.

"Guan Yu is coming, we need to be prepared,"

After thinking for a while, Wang Zheng ordered his personal guards to summon the battalion commander of the Tianzhu Battalion: "Send someone to inform Wang Xiong's and Gan Ning's divisions that the offensive against Jiangling will start today, the more violent the better."

After a pause, he turned his head and looked sideways at the sentry captain who was still in the tent, and told him: "Before you go to rest, choose some capable men, spread and hide in the north of Jiangling, and always report the progress of Guan Yu's army."

"In addition, inform the army and horses in Xiaoyu Mountain to continue to stay in the dormant state and be ready to fight at any time. The other troops and horses are in their own camps, take the time to rest, and build up their physical strength for fighting."

"promise!"

Everyone accepted the order in awe-inspiring manner, outside the handsome tent, the wind howled, and the flags and banners were rolled, the murderous aura of the universe was heavy.

The next night, Guan Yu led his army to the outside of Jiangling City in a hurry, and stopped when they were about [-] miles away from the city, because the sentinel came to report, and it was Wang Xiong's camp in front of him.

Guan Yu was not in a hurry to launch an offensive. While ordering the soldiers to take a rest temporarily, he and the generals chose a high ground to observe from a distance before the battle.

The camp of Wang Xiong in front was pitch black and silent, while the city farther away was full of flames, bright as day, and the two formed a sharp contrast.

I don't know why, tonight the sky is covered with thick clouds, completely covering the starry night, and it looks more and more dark. Even with Guan Yu's physique, he squinted his eyes for a long time, but saw nothing, only the vague outline of the camp stretching for several miles. land.

Gusts of night wind blew, like blades passing by, and slapped his armor. The sound of iron plates colliding was crisp and vague, and quickly dissipated in the wind, which suddenly made Guan Yu feel a strange feeling in his heart.

After watching for a while, Guan Yu suddenly said to the left and right: "Do you feel that tonight is a bit weird?"

"eccentric?"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Guan Yu meant, and someone asked, "What does the general think is weird?"

"It's too dark, too cold." Guan Yu was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "It's too quiet."

"Jiangling is near the river, and the water vapor is heavy. It is the night of May and June, and sometimes it is chilly." A Jiangling captain who was sent out of the city by Guo Yong before explained: "General Guan, this is normal."

"As for the quietness." He paused, looked up at the sky, and said, "It's almost three o'clock now. The soldiers must be exhausted after the Yellow Turban bandits attacked the city for a day. Naturally, they fell asleep early. Quietness is even more normal."

"General, this is a good time for us to sneak attack."

"Perhaps I was thinking too much." Guan Yu waved his hand, as if he could dispel the faint uneasiness in his heart: "Your city can prepare for it now, why there is no news suddenly in the past two days?"

"We've been running so fast these days, maybe we didn't run into each other." The captain thought for a while and said, "Plus the yellow scarf bandits are besieging the city tightly. Look, general, those bandits' rangers have circled the city for a week, and they are everywhere. Yes, maybe the messenger can't come out, but there are also some."

From their position, taking advantage of the reflection of the torches at the top of the city, many small black spots can be seen moving around the city.These small black spots are obviously the rangers used by the Xuzhou army to intercept the messenger.

The captain's explanation made sense, but Guan Yu's strangeness became more and more intense, causing him to subconsciously grasp the hilt of his sword. Gu Pan asked left and right, "Where are the scouts? Is there any reward? Is there anything strange about the bandit army?"

"Just report that everything is normal."

While speaking in a low voice, there was a rustling sound, Guan Yu suddenly turned his head, stared at him, and immediately shot a sharp light, which startled the person who made the noise, but it was a captain just now who was caught by the night I couldn't bear the mosquito bites, so I couldn't help shaking my body, stomping my feet, trampling off a few pieces of dirt, rolling down in a thin rustle, and falling in front of several army horses. The army horses raised their heads and were about to neigh. Hastily comforted softly.

"The weather is actually not too cold, and the mosquitoes can still survive." Guan Yu frowned and thought, "Why does it make me feel a little uncomfortable?" He has realized at this moment that the so-called coldness does not come from outside the body, but from the body. In my heart, it was a warning from my own intuition.

It's a pity that Guan Yu is different from Zhang Fei. He believes in rational judgments rather than emotional indications. After thinking about it again and again, he didn't think of anything wrong.The night was their best cover, the cold moonlight dripped down like water, washing the armor on their bodies, like Lin's guns shining like cold stars.

He stretched out his hand to take the long knife handed by his own soldiers. It was the world-renowned glamorous saw, also known as Qinglong Yanyue knife. Hui, immediately focused everyone's eyes.

Lightly tap the position of the enemy camp in front with the Green Dragon Saber, less than ten miles away, and you can reach it in a short charge. Guan Yu shouted in a deep voice: "My lords, today is the day to break the bandits!"

"kill!"

It was like a dull thunder rising from the ground, like a lightning cloud coming, all the generals drew their swords out of their sheaths at the same time, "Kill!"

Immediately afterwards, thousands of soldiers behind them shouted in unison, hula-lah, full of swords raised, guns erected like a forest, and tens of thousands of cold lights pointed at the opposite camp: "Kill!"

The next moment, thousands of horses galloped through the wind, trampling their hooves, making the ground tremble, and the torches of the distant city danced in their pupils, getting closer and bigger.
Due to the previous inexplicable induction, Guan Yu did not take the lead again this time, but stayed in the formation. His own Xiao general charged forward, and Wang Xiong's camp was close in front of him. He shouted angrily, shouting to boost morale: "Kill a bandit soldier, reward a hundred gold! Kill a bandit general, reward a thousand guns! Capture the bandit flag, reward a hundred gold!"

"Kill the thief! Kill the thief!" Many people echoed in unison.

The cruisers by the city beat their horses desperately, making a mess.Like oil poured into water, Wang Xiong's barracks exploded with a bang, people were screaming, horses were neighing, torches were lit up one by one, and scattered patrols in charge of security rushed up to try to delay Guan Yu's army. attack speed.

It's a pity that Guan Yu's army's charge has been formed at this time. If they are scattered reefs, Guan Yu's army is the rising tide waves, which cannot be stopped at all, and they are easily torn apart. Like a piece, it was torn to pieces the moment it came into contact with it!

Guan Yu's army became more and more vigorous, drove straight into the camp, and rushed into the camp in the blink of an eye, showing off their might, while chasing the panicked and yelling Xuzhou soldiers who were fleeing, while lighting torches, they scattered around.

Unexpectedly, the importance of attacking unpreparedness is fully demonstrated at this time. The Xuzhou Army, which has a brilliant record in recent years, was vulnerable to the iron cavalry of Guan Yu Army. After only a little resistance, it gave up and ran to other camps. Door.

The leading general rushed here and there, amidst the noise, he shouted: "Hugh called the thief general Wang Xiong away!" He turned around and asked, "Where is the handsome account?" He raised his spear and stabbed him to death. The soldiers on the other side heard a few drums beating, and the soldiers beside them shouted: "Lieutenant, Jiangling army horses have come out!"

The military general didn't bother to look, his sight was everywhere, covered by many fortifications, and he saw a handsome flag flashing faintly.

He abandoned his gun and played his bow, but the distance was too far to shoot.When he was about to rush over, the army horses that followed him into the camp had already dispersed. Seeing that the commander-in-chief flag was gone, he became anxious, threw his bow and knife, drove the soldiers of his group, beat their horses, and shouted: "Collect! Gather! Then This future."

While urging the horse forward, he did not forget to order the soldiers, "Blow the horn! Beat the small drum." But Guan Yu had already ordered: when he saw the enemy general Wang Xiong, he would blow the horn and beat the drum to inform the rear.

The sound of horn drums spread to the rear of Guan Yu's army. It was only at this moment that Guan Yu's uneasiness completely dissipated. A proud look appeared on his face again, and he sneered and asked Captain Jiangling beside him, "Where is Guo Yong? Why are you still here?" Not out of town?"

As soon as the words were finished, the sentry cavalry came to report: "Report, Jiangling army horses have just left the city!"

Guan Yu was overjoyed, and then he made a decision: I heard that Wang Xiong was once the captain of Wang Zheng's personal army. Xu Fang had not gone north, so he beheaded him first, and it would be good to teach that Zhu Zi heartache for a few days!
Immediately, he drew his sword in his hand and shouted sharply: "Beat the drums and tell the generals that the fleeing Yellow Turban bandits will be handed over to the Jiangling army. You should concentrate all your efforts and make sure to capture Wang Xiongti and come to see me. This general wants to see people in life and die." To see the corpse!"

In Guan Yu's mind, the general who fled would definitely not ride alone. A lieutenant like Wang Xiong would have at least dozens of soldiers around him. There will not be a minority, so it is necessary to go all out.

After a while, the sentry cavalry came to report again, saying that General Wang Xiong's flag was found in the west of the enemy camp. A lot of soldiers gathered together went straight out of the camp and headed north.

"Don't let the thief go!"

Guan Yu didn't care to scold the generals for their incompetence, so he personally commanded them and followed them away. At present, Lu Bu has not passed away as in the original history, and Chitu naturally did not change hands. Among the soldiers, the speed of the horses could not be raised, the roads in the camp were not wide, and thousands of soldiers were crowded together, people next to people, horses next to horses, and they did not turn around until they rushed out of the shaft gate, and the distance between them was looser. .

Guan Yu was overjoyed and immediately shouted: "The bandit army has not gone far, catch up quickly!"

Under the heavy night, the two army horses chased and fled. As time passed, the distance between each other became closer and closer, from one thousand steps to five hundred steps, and from five hundred steps to three hundred steps
Seeing that the distance was getting closer, all the generals and soldiers of Guan Yu's army were excited, and those who couldn't hold back even opened their bows and shot arrows directly.

The night was heavy, and arrows like locusts were shot out in miscellaneous places. The distance was too far, except for a few strong bows, none of them hit the target.

At this time, everyone, including Guan Yu, didn't notice
Before they knew it, both of them were getting further and further away from Jiangling.
