Chapter 24: Another Tiger Raising Hedong (Part 2)(2/3)

Back in front of him, Chen Gong came to his senses. His face turned pale and he immediately issued an order for a general attack. He must round up Guan Yunchang.

However, celestial phenomena cannot be resisted or defeated by force, at least in this era! The order has just been passed down, and Sergeant Yuan and his soldiers have already experienced a whole process from before.

The day went from extremely hot to cool breeze, and then suddenly to the freezing air conditioner.

Before the officers from various ministries were ordered to attack Guan Yu's position, huge raindrops began to fall, and then there was a sudden burst of wind, which was mixed with the arrows on the top of the city, making it difficult to raise one's head.

He was in a panic, and what was even more frightening was that the sky turned dark almost instantly, and it was almost impossible to see him within five steps!

In the huge chaos, the swords, guns and swords drawn by the friendly forces have become their own biggest enemies. Tramples and accidental injuries have become the biggest source of attrition. The soldiers around the Tushan construction site also encountered their own unique enemy mud.

Combined with the slipperiness and the armor on the body, it became the biggest obstacle to movement.

At the same time, Guan Yunchang and his troops were operating closely close to the city wall, and the natural order was in order. Not to mention that just before the sky changed, Guan Yunchang gave a direct order, and the entire army dropped their spears. A thousand people, regardless of riding or walking, only held rings.

The first sword fight, a hand-to-hand encounter in the rain!

Leather-armored short soldiers may not be the best equipment for rainy battles, but they are the most suitable equipment on the current battlefield. Yuan Jun may be able to make such an action immediately when he wakes up, but this process of awakening requires his life!

In the darkness, the three troops led by Li Jin, who didn't know that their young master had lost his head, suffered the most direct and cruel blow! Guan Yunchang came on horseback, and before the rain soaked the road, he rushed forward and killed two hundred people.

The cavalry took advantage of the chaos and trampled him, and then eight hundred soldiers came and chopped with their swords. Their limbs were broken off and the body fell to the ground, covered in blood and rain.

The sound of thunder, drums, and rain could not cover up the sounds of killing and screams, not to mention the sudden flash of lightning across the sky, illuminating the battlefield instantly, but then disappearing in an instant... Li Jin knew that his own soldiers who had advanced under the city wall were being massacred.

, but was actually powerless. After all, even gods would find it difficult to effectively command this situation.

Think about retreating from everything.

In the pouring rain and the chaos of the battlefield, Li Tuizhi, who was standing slumped on the battlefield after seeing clearly the tragedy below the city through lightning, suddenly had an inexplicable and strange idea in his mind.

By the way, when lightning illuminated the whole place, Guan Yunchang once again caught a glimpse of this old friend he had not seen for many years, and then he held his sword and reined in his horse!

However, as the initial shower of rain passed, the situation of being unable to see anyone within five steps came and went quickly. Shortly after the lightning, although it was still dim, the vision was still blurry. In addition,

Guan Yunchang was tall and powerful, but when Li Jin saw him from a distance, he turned around and walked away! Amid the thunder, retreating together included more than 2,000 Li's disciples who still maintained their organizational structure and combat effectiveness.

This is really not that Li Jin is timid, in fact, it would be fine if he himself, but in such a situation, if one bad move is made, many of his own children will be ruined in vain... You know, the situation has become very clear now.

Wu Anguo was just an accident before. Guan Yunchang's real killer move in this battle was the heavy rain. Yuan Jun, who was caught off guard, was almost defenseless at this stage when the heavy rain just fell... leaving his own children to bear Guan Yu's most violent and violent attack alone.

Li Tuizhi would never accept an effective killing blow.

Since Li Jin ordered the entire army to withdraw, and the passage under the city was temporarily clear, Guan Yunchang immediately stood in the rain, but neither pursued nor took the opportunity to retreat.

Then he returned to the camp with his whole body. This battle was a huge victory.

But Guan Yunchang seemed not satisfied.

He made a prompt decision and ordered the entire army to turn around again and sweep northward along the east city wall!

On the city wall, Shen Pei, who was all wet, also saw Guan Yu's actions in the dim light, but he sighed repeatedly... In other words, this tactical move may seem arrogant, but it is actually a cautious move.

Why do you say that?

You must know that Guan Yu's camp is in the west of the city, Tushan and the current main battlefield are in the east and south of the city, and since Guan Yunchang killed Wu Anguo before and repelled Cheng Wu, it seems that he was on his way here, that is, in the south of the city.

The road has fewer obstacles and the distance is shorter. But don't forget that Yuan Shao's 80,000 troops are here. Although they are surrounded by three and one is missing, they are actually coming from the south, so the camp in the south of the city is particularly large.

Extraordinarily thick!

In other words, if Guan Yunchang was walking from the south of the city, it would still be very dangerous if he was blocked by Yu Jinshen when he arrived in front of Yu Jin because the rain was getting lighter, because he could not pass through Yuan Shao's camp with only a thousand men and horses, and there was no other way.

There is a road that can be taken, but it will eventually be surrounded, and if that is the case, even if he examines Zhengnan, he cannot really risk the city to open the door for rescue; but if he takes the north road, although there may be more troops to block it,

But with heavy rain like this, the ground was muddy, and the field of vision was incomplete. If Guan Yunchang could not break through, he could simply rely on the flexibility of his troops to escape from the gaps in the camp, and then surround the city and return to the camp.

Not to mention, turning around like this would definitely catch Jushu's troops guarding the east gate by surprise. And if the victory was quick, maybe Shen Pei could take the initiative to open the east gate and lure Guan Yu in.

"Get ready!" After Shen Zhengnan thought for a while, he immediately looked back and ordered. "Send a thousand people to hide behind the east gate and prepare to open the door to meet them. Let the people on the top of the city work harder, and try to gather as many people as possible to the east to kill.

!”

The military officials on the city didn't dare to neglect, so they naturally followed the orders.

A moment later, Jushu's troops finally recovered under the heavy rain. At this time, they were suddenly attacked, and they were indeed in panic again.

In other words, Ju Shou is an outstanding person, and letting him lead the army is definitely not a mistake. But just like Cao Cao's embarrassment when he led the army independently for the first time, no matter how smart and organized a person like him is, he can't compare to Ju Yi.

, Zhang Jia, Yu Jin, and even someone like Li Jin who has extremely rich military experience in battle, and he cannot lead by example like some brave generals and rush to the front.

In other words, his reliance lies in his clear organization and orderly order among his soldiers.

But a heavy rain and a carbine-style surprise attack caused Ju Gong and the thing he relied on to fall to the ground, and also put him in the most embarrassing situation, even a dangerous situation. In the chaos, he was good at beheading.

Guan Yunchang, who was making a surprise attack, also noticed Jushu's position, and then simply gave up the battle in front of the city gate and went to kill Jushu himself.

The sergeants on the left and right came to rescue one after another, but they were separated by Pan Zhang and others who were following Guan Yu.

Seeing the critical moment, Ju Hao, the son of Ju Shou and his first time in the army, couldn't help but kneel down under the general's flag and plead, his tears adding to the rain: "Why do you need to fight for a moment's glory?"

"It is a matter of being an adult to receive favors from others. If you retire today, how will you be able to see the world?" Jushou was so angry that he kicked his son away. "Besides, our army is so strong that the battle situation will be chaotic.

In this way, a mere thousand of his men seemed to be strong for a while, but they were just using offense as defense to find a way out in the chaos. How could he really be killed?!"

What Ju Sue said was right. Just when Guan Yunchang was trying to advance to Ju Sue's side, he suddenly heard cheers from behind him. When he turned around, he realized...it turned out that seeing Guan Yu's troops under the city having an advantage in the battle, Shen Piao ignored the danger.

, took the initiative to open the east gate, led his troops to attack the remnants of Jushou's troops in front of the gate, and at the same time allowed Guan Yu's troops to enter!

Seeing this, Guan Yu did not hesitate to fight, but immediately reined in his horse and turned around, preparing to enter the city. After all, Guan Yu was never a reckless general, but a very practical general who was very good at making use of the environment and fortifications. Those who looked extremely arrogant

The performance is just a manifestation of getting the maximum gain at the minimum cost after making good preparations.

It's like one thousand against eighty thousand. It seems ridiculous... but in fact? In fact, a thousand people are most suitable for fighting under the city. If three thousand people really go out together, it will be cumbersome.

In the same way, Lei Tushan forced the expedition on the first day, which seemed to be a temporary gamble, but in fact it was based on the weather, preparing to use the power of God to cause chaos, and then return calmly.

Right in front of him, the reason why he chose to risk a surprise attack on Jushou despite the thick enemy troops and the muddy and slippery ground outside the city that made it inconvenient for horses to fight was because he wanted to cause chaos to Jushou's troops and then take the opportunity to clear the east gate for retreat.

Now that he had the chance to escape unscathed, he naturally had no intention of fighting.

However, he saw that Jushu's troops in front of the east gate, who were responsible for blocking the enemy and guarding the city gate, instantly collapsed under the attack from the front and rear. Then the east gate opened wide, and Guan Yunchang personally stopped the retreat and withdrew the troops... However, not long after, Pan Zhang was ordered to lead the troops.

Entering the city, Guan Yu was still outside the city, but a general of the Yuan army desperately found Guan Yu on the battlefield. It was Bohai Gaolan Gao Mingqing!

In other words, Gao Lan is not related to the Chenliu Gao family, the in-laws of the Yuan family. He is a descendant of the Gao family from a powerful family in Bohai. When he was young, he was brave and ruthless, and he was dissolute. However, he always admired one of his elder brothers and called him

Gao Heng, nicknamed Xuanqing. But his clan brother suddenly gave up the life of a knight errant one day and took some of his companions to join the army. And soon, Gongsun Xun, the general of the Wei who was a commander of a certain department at the time,

His subordinates followed him out of the fortress and never returned.

At first Gao Lan didn't know what was going on, but later he was accompanied by his clan brother when he returned to his hometown. Only then did he realize that his clan brother had not died in battle, but had offended Gongsun Zan, which in turn implicated Gongsun Xun and Huwu at that time.

The personal grudge between Captain Huan and Xia Yu caused a dilemma in the army. In the end, Gongsun Xun and that Xia Yu were forced to commit suicide!

After this incident, Gao Lan, who regarded the powerful Gongsun family in Hebei as his enemy, no longer wandered around all day long, but simply joined the army.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, although this man was promoted due to his garrison service, he chose to leave his hometown after hearing that Gongsun Zan was coming to Bohai to serve as an official. After several years, by chance, he finally became an official in the state.

Met Gongsun on the battlefield.

In short, it is precisely because of the public and private grudges that he fought in Hebei and always fought without concern for his own life. He was like this in Jiudu before and it is also like this today. Just think about it. At this time, Gao Mingqing saw Guan Yu playing with tens of thousands of troops with a thousand men.

, in the end, after killing countless people, he actually had to retreat calmly, how could he endure it?

In the gradually drizzling rain, the man became angry and suddenly took off his iron armor which was full of mud and had become a burden. Then, with only a spear in hand, he led dozens of guards towards the city gate and charged towards them.

Come, as if you want to keep Guan Yu!

Gao Lan was so aggressive that Guan Yu couldn't see it. He just saw that the opponent was not wearing armor, and he didn't expect that he was an important person. But now that he was here, Guan Yunchang had no reason not to fight. He saw that he was not in a hurry, and first dismounted the general.

The mount was handed over to the retreating soldiers and led to the city. He then took a spear from a responding soldier in the city and brought his own bodyguards forward to stop him.

Two groups of people collided in front of the city. It was a head-on confrontation. Only then did Guan Yu realize that the person coming was extraordinary. When he asked his name again, he found out that it was Bohai Gaolan. In addition, the head-on confrontation was no better than a surprise attack, and each had dozens of soldiers.

The personal guards follow each other, so although there is some clear distinction between strength and weakness, how can the winner be determined at the moment? Especially when one side is fighting with all their might and risking their lives to attack, while the other side is worried about the situation and just wants to stop it for a while.

Moreover, even if the Handan garrison on the city wall wanted to shoot arrows, it was difficult for them to intervene as they were fighting in a melee.

When the battle came to this point, the Yuan Army was already extremely dull, but as the clouds gradually dispersed and the sky gradually became brighter, this scene became the hope of a comeback for everyone in the Yuan Army!

As long as Guan Yu is captured, all losses will be worth it! And as long as Guan Yu enters the city calmly, today's battle will be a real defeat!

Yuan Shao personally ordered Wen Chou to lead his troops to a surprise attack and take Guan Yu directly! Ju Shou also personally drew his sword to supervise the battle, ordered his guards to kill more than ten defeated troops, and reorganized his troops to move forward, including Zhao Chong, Ju Yi and others further north of Ju Shou.

In the future, all the tribes who had time to participate in the war, after hearing the news, also attracted troops one after another... Especially Chen Liu, who stood out from Zhang Miao's surrender, and Zhao Chong, he had someone to rely on, not only because his distance was second to Jushou

The key to this department is that Dian Wei, who is known as the unparalleled bravery in the Central Plains, is a native of his country and leads a group of the most capable soldiers. He is under his command at this time.

With Zhao Chong's experience, he really didn't expect that there was anyone in the world who could beat his fellow countryman in hand-to-hand combat.

But there was no need to know who Dian Wei was. On the city wall, Shenpei, who had received reports from everywhere that he saw so many people gathering, had already sensed the danger, and he repeatedly rang gold to signal Guan Yu to retreat.

Guan Yunchang was very thoughtful, and he knew better than anyone else that this battle was to rely on the heavy rain to complete a few surprise attacks, and then take advantage of the chaos to retreat. If it continued, there would be danger, but the Gao Lan in front of him was as powerful as a mad tiger.

How can you retreat so easily?

But at this moment, a general suddenly jumped out from the city on horseback and charged towards Gao Wang. The ground was completely soaked with water at this time, and even the ground in front of the city was extremely slippery.

Turning to the place where the battle was taking place, the horse stumbled and fell over, and then slid towards the two fighting men in an almost smashing manner.

At the same time, the remaining weapons on the ground instantly cut open the horse's body, causing blood to flow everywhere.

Amid the neighing, the horse was destined to die a tragic death.
To be continued...
