"General, we can't go on like this!" Guan Yu's deputy reminded him. This person was called Tao Quan. He was brought back from Xu Province by Escapist Liu. Ever since Escapist Liu took Xu Province from Tao Qian, this Tao Quan had been serving as Guan Yu's deputy. The reason why his name was not recorded in history was because after Escapist Liu escaped from Xu Province, this Tao Quan should have died on the way to Runan. But this time, Escapist Liu escaped to Runan, so Tao Quan was spared.
Tao Quan was a calm person and liked to learn. This was the reason why Guan Yu kept him by his side as a deputy general. Now that Tao Quan had spoken, 500 steps was simply a blind spot for Shou Chun to attack! Arrows, stones, and wood could not reach that place at all!
Moreover, the stones shot by these catapults hit the walls again and again. Although the damage caused by 50 catapults was not much, but don't forget! This kind of thing was a terrible blow to morale. Because no one knew who would be hit by the next stone falling from the sky. And if one was hit, there was basically no way to survive.
"Get out of the city!" Guan Yu clenched his teeth. If they continued to fight like this, let alone defending the city, perhaps before the enemy attacked, everyone's morale and spirit would be exhausted. Finally, they could only be wrapped in fear and collapse in advance. Although these stones did not cause much damage to people, but the damage to buildings was really accurate. A small part of Shouchun's south gate tower was destroyed by these catapults.
Only by destroying the trebuchets would they be able to defend Shouchun. And if they wanted to destroy the trebuchets, then they would have to open the gates and go out to meet the enemy.
"General, get out of the city? Absolutely not! "Tao Quan hurriedly pulled Guan Yu. Get out of the city and fight? This Guan Yu is crazy! Although there were 10,000 soldiers outside, but they were heavy armored infantry. Heavy armored infantry was originally used to deal with light armored infantry and cavalry. Although the Qingzhou Army was elite, but they were not the White Eared soldiers under the Lord's command. The White Eared Soldiers were the elites among the elites under Liu Bei's command. They were Liu Bei's trump card!
The White Eared Soldiers were the guarantee for Escapist Liu to stand up again after being defeated. These soldiers were the kings of the army. They were not only strong but also had a certain level of martial arts. Moreover, when Escapist Liu was in dire straits, he was able to command so many White Eared Soldiers. Naturally, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would teach these White Eared Soldiers martial arts.
It can be said that although the White Eared Soldiers were commanded by Chen Dao, they were actually the disciples of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Although the White Eared Soldiers were strong, they could only fight against infantry. Now that they were in Runan, Liu Pi's Runan could be regarded as a huge arsenal. Liu Pi swept clean the savings of many nobles. Originally, there were only three thousand White Eared soldiers. Liu Pi increased the number of soldiers to five thousand. All of them were wearing heavy armor. It can be said that if it was the Black Flag Army in the past, they would be able to fight against the White Ears Army. But now, the White Ears Army is in Shouchun. The Black Flag Army will not be their opponent.
Now, Guan Yu did not have any White Eared Soldiers. How can he go out of the city to fight? How can he use light armored infantry to fight against heavy armored infantry? Moreover, the other side had two hundred heavy armored cavalry. They could give a fatal blow to Guan Yu's army.
"Are we just going to sit and wait for death?" Guan Yu's face became redder. It was unknown whether it was because of his anger or because of his natural red color. But Guan Yu's face was very ugly.
If they do not go out of the city, they will be beaten. In the end, they will die. There were a lot of boulders on the side of the catapults. At the very least, it would not be a problem to injure them for a day and a half. Even if they go out of the city, they will not be their opponent. How many people will Guan Yu bring? On the opposite side, Liu Mang's Army, the Urban Army and the Black Flag Army were already in formation. There were also several hundred heavy armored cavalry on the side. Guan Yu's South Gate had a total of seven thousand soldiers. If they go out, they would be at a disadvantage. If there were less than five thousand soldiers, they would not even be able to make a splash. Whether these five thousand soldiers could come back alive after going out was another question.
"We can only fight with our lives on the line!" Guan Yu had already made up his mind to go out. "All soldiers, listen to my order!" Guan Yu was interrupted by Tao Quan before he finished his words.
"General, do you have the confidence to go out like this?" Tao Quan directly asked Guan Yu.
"Confidence?" Guan Yu smiled bitterly. How could he have the confidence to go out like this? If there were no fierce generals on the opposite side, Guan Yu would be able to kill them. With him leading the charge, he would be able to kill his way out. But the real situation? Guan Yu did not know the generals in the Lvbu's Army. The battle of Wancheng city was also closely watched by many people. Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, Xu Sheng, which one of them was not a fierce general? Although Gan Ning was not there, Huang Zhong and Xu Sheng were enough to stop him. How could his light armored infantry fight against the heavy armored infantry? Even if he used his toes to think, he would know the outcome. But if he did not go out to fight, he would die without a doubt.
"Since you are not confident, why do you still go? If you die, the ten thousand Qingzhou elites will be like a group of dragons without a leader! "Tao Quan advised. And General, have you forgotten the oath you made with Milord?
"Oath?" Guan Yu's mind could not help but think of that year. The peach blossoms were flying. That year, he was still full of spirit. He, he, and he met in the peach blossom garden. "Not to be born on the same day, but to die on the same day!"
"If we don't go, our army will not survive!" Guan Yu looked at Tao Quan and said. "Zizhang, don't worry. With Zhou Cang, I will definitely come back!" Guan Yu comforted Tao Quan.
"No, General, we still have a way out!" Tao Quan shook his head and said. "General, we are not at the end of the line! Liu Mang's Army has just attacked the city. We can give up on Shouchun and withdraw! "Tao Quan said to Guan Yu.
"No!" Guan Yu immediately rejected this plan. Withdraw the army? When Guan Yu came to Shouchun, he promised his elder brother that he would protect the city like a nail nailed to the ground of Yangzhou. Because of him, Liu Bei moved most of the military equipment and thirty thousand shi of provisions to the city. How could Guan Yu withdraw the army now?
"If we don't withdraw the army, do you think that you can defend the city?" Tao Quan also raised his voice. Although an ordinary Deputy General wouldn't dare to shout at the Commanding General, Tao Quan was different. This was because Guan Yu had always treated him as a nephew.
"I!" Guan Yu was silent. If he really stayed, he also knew that he would not be able to defend the city. Looking at the catapults outside, the north gate of Shouchun could only last for two days. After two days, it might be destroyed!
"General, think about it carefully. If you die, what will happen to Milord? Moreover, there are ten thousand Qingzhou brothers here. Milord is lacking in soldiers and horses. If you lose these ten thousand soldiers, Milord will not be able to talk about great things! "Tao Quan's words directly hit Guan Yu's heart.
Guan Yu was a proud and aloof person. In his eyes, the King of Shu was nothing but a baby. When Guan Yu was famous in the world, he was still drinking milk from somewhere! But now, he was going to be defeated because of this baby? And withdraw? How would the world look at him? Therefore, Guan Yu did not want to leave Shouchun. It was not only because of Pang Tong and Liu Bei's orders, but also because of his own pride!
Tao Quan was right. If he died, what would happen to their oath? Liu Bei really listened to the oath and died together! Or what? Moreover, there were ten thousand Qingzhou elites here! Liu Bei's subordinates were only forty thousand! Losing ten thousand yuan was really a serious blow to his bones!
"But! You want to come back after giving up Shouchun? That's impossible! " Shouchun was a strategic town. If they lost Shouchun, they would have to pay the price in blood if they wanted to take it back.
"The city is dead, but the people are alive. General, have you forgotten how Thief Cao took Shouchun?" Tao Quan said earnestly.
"Cao Gong!?" To be honest, Cao Cao treated Guan Yu very well. He even gave Lu Bu's Red Hare to Guan Yu as a reward. He also treated Guan Yu as Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Yun Chang
How did Cao Cao take Shouchun? How could Guan Yu not know? Guan Yu would pay attention to every battle because he was a person who loved his soldiers! Therefore, he would think about these strategies! Cao Cao took Shouchun. At that time, the owner of Shouchun was Yuan Shu. Although Yuan Shu became an emperor and was attacked by Sun Ce, Lü Bu, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao, and even his subordinates Chen Lan and Lei Bai betrayed him, one should not forget that a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. No matter how much Yuan Shu's strength declined, he could still be an overlord. At the very least, someone like Liu Yao wouldn't be a match for him!
As for Yuan Shu, who had experienced several defeats, he no longer had extravagant hopes for the world to submit to him. Instead, he wanted to stay in his own Shouchun and dream of being an emperor every day. What ruling the world? Leave it to the future generations! Therefore, Yuan Shu kept shrinking his defensive line and lost half of Yuzhou and Yangzhou just to be an emperor in Shouchun!
However, that was what Yuan Shu thought. Lao Cao did not want Yuan Shu to be comfortable. At the very least, Yuan Shu wanted to throw away the title of an emperor. Otherwise, Lao Cao's title of Han Emperor in Xu Du would not be legitimate. Therefore, Lao Cao did not hold back and continued to lead his army to the south!
Shouchun became Yuan Shu's only defensive line. Because Yuan Shu had shrunk his army, the defense of Shouchun could be imagined. Including the civilians and the new recruits, there were almost a hundred thousand soldiers! A hundred thousand soldiers defended a city. The Central Army had plenty of food and weapons, but Lao Cao only had a hundred thousand soldiers! Although he was no match for Lao Cao in a field battle, what could Lao Cao do to him if he defended the city to the death?
However, in the end, Shouchun was still breached because of the four dams outside Shouchun. These dams were originally used to irrigate the land and turn Yangzhou into a granary to strengthen Yuan Shu's overall strength. But now, it became Yuan Shu's tragedy!
The four dams were all dug up. In just a moment, the entire land of Shouchun was flooded by the Ying River and the Huai River. The terrain of Shouchun was low to begin with. It was simply unavoidable. The entire city of Shouchun was turned into a vast ocean. It was even more miserable than when Xiapi was flooded. Eighty thousand of Shouchun's one hundred thousand soldiers and horses were scattered. The rest either died or fled! Fortunately, Yuan Shu had a tour boat in his hands. Moreover, Lao Cao did not exterminate Yuan Shu for the sake of Yuan family. This gave Yuan Shu a chance to live. As long as Yuan Shu did not proclaim himself emperor, there would be no problem!
"Flooding Shouchun?" Guan Yu finally understood what Tao Quan meant! If they defended Shouchun to the death, the only outcome would be Guan Yu and his ten thousand Qingzhou soldiers dying together! However, if they withdrew from Shouchun, it would be different. Because of Shouchun, the city was dead. Liu Mang's army could only defend Shouchun. If they were to flood Shouchun, the unlucky ones would be Liu Mang's troops.
Although Guan Yu thought so, he still held onto the illusion that Shouchun could be defended. However, this illusion was shattered after a while. This was because the rumbling sound made Guan Yu feel the tremors. His Shouchun's southern gate was directly smashed down.
Now that the south gate of Shouchun was wide open, Shouchun no longer had the defensive power of the city walls. Shouchun was now like a girl with her legs wide open, waiting for Liu Mang. It could be said that if Liu Mang wanted to, he could directly send his troops to attack Shouchun.
"Go! Withdraw! " Guan Yu clenched his teeth. He chose to retreat as Tao Quan had suggested. If he didn't leave now, he might not be able to. Without the defense of the city, ten thousand light armored infantries against ten thousand heavy armored infantries would be like being kicked in the head by a donkey.
"Yes!" Tao Quan's face showed a trace of joy. He retreated and organized his troops to withdraw.
"Shouchun's gate has been broken!" Liu Mang held a cylinder in his hand and looked in the direction of Shouchun. This was a simple telescope made by Liu Mang. With the help of the craftsmen, it was much faster to polish the crystal. Although it was not possible for every general to have one, some of the troops still had one. For example, the commander of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, Zhang Liao, Lü Bu, Boss Lu, and Gan Ning were also given one by Liu Mang. The remaining ones were the ones in Liu Mang's hands and the one in Zhao Yun's hands.
After Liu Mang finished looking, he handed the telescope to Xu Shu. Xu Shu also felt that it was very magical. Such a small cylinder could actually see so far. It was really magical! One must know that the opportunity of war could be fleeting. A telescope that could predict the enemy's future was really a weapon of war!
"What are you looking at? When we take Shouchun, it will be yours! " Xu Sheng, who was standing at the side, was very envious of the telescope in Xu Shu's hand. His eyes were glowing red. One must know that the Black Flag Army under his command were heavy armored soldiers. If they could discover the enemy before the enemy, then the Black Flag Army could set up a formation and wait for them. However, Xu Sheng did not, at least not now. Therefore, he was very envious! Liu Mang could only laugh and scold him. These telescopes were made of crystal and the price was too high. Therefore, it was difficult to equip all of them. After Shouchun was taken, Liu Mang was thinking about experimenting with the lenses of the telescopes. In his books, there was a method to make glass. However, he lacked tools and craftsmen. Now that he had everything, he just needed to wait for Shouchun to be taken.
"My lord! I don't understand why you don't launch an attack now! " Xu Shu's face was full of doubts. One must know that the south gate of Shouchun had been broken. At this time, the Qing Province Army in Shouchun did not have time to block the gate. Now, Shouchun's last layer of cover had been removed. As long as Liu Mang led the army to attack, the White Horse Army as the vanguard would occupy the gate. Then, the Black Flag Army and the City Guard would continue to pour into Shouchun. At that time, not only would Shouchun be taken, the Qing Province Army and Guan Yu would not be able to escape!
"Yuanzhi! Although it is good to fight like a cornered beast, don't forget that cornered beasts will go all out! Although the south gate of Shouchun has been broken, there are still ten thousand Qing Province Army in Shouchun! The Qing Province Army is not to be trifled with, although they are only lightly armored soldiers! However, I don't want to lose my precious soldiers to the counterattack of these cornered beasts! Moreover, Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang are not to be trifled with! Their martial arts are comparable to Father-in-law's! "Liu Mang said to Xu Shu.
"Is that so?" Xu Shu looked deeply at Liu Mang. Although his words were affirmative, his tone and gaze made Liu Mang feel extremely embarrassed!
Cornered beasts? Even if they counterattacked before death, they would not be able to fight against a good hunter. Once these heavily armored soldiers entered the city, they would crush everything in their way. No matter how elite the Qing Province Army was, they would still have a grievance! Therefore, what Liu Mang said about counterattacking before death was not valid. As for Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang's martial arts, it was a joke. No matter how strong they were, how could they be stronger than Lü Bu? Right now, there was Old Man Huang Zhong, who could fight evenly with Lü Bu! In addition, there is also Xu Sheng, Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong, Wang Wei, and even Wei Yan who is eager to render meritorious service. Even if Huang Zhong was the God of War, he would still stay in Shouchun!
The reason why Liu Mang did not let his troops attack was because he was being merciful! He was being merciful! As for Guan Yu and Guan Yu, Liu Mang did not dislike them. On the contrary, he had a good impression of them. After all, Guan Yu had been regarded as a legend for so many years! Just like Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, even if Liu Mang knew that many of the stories were false, his admiration for them did not decrease.
Therefore, Liu Mang did not let his troops attack. He wanted to give Guan Yu a chance to live! He knew that even if he captured Guan Yu, Guan Yu would never surrender. This could be seen from the fact that Guan Yu was captured by Lu Meng when Jingzhou was broken. Guan Yu would rather die than surrender. Besides, Cao Cao treated her well but she refused to be used by him.
"Guan Yu! Guan Yu! This is the worship of an idol. If there is a next time, I will not be merciful! " Liu Mang said to himself. He was not afraid that Guan Yu would block the gate. If he blocked the gate, Liu Mang would have no reason to let him go! Moreover, if he could break the gate of Shouchun once, he could break it a second time!
There was no permanent fortress in this world!
Guan Yu did not disappoint Liu Mang. After learning that the south gate had been destroyed, he decisively issued the order to retreat. He left three thousand troops behind to cover the retreat. However, he did not see any pursuers. This made Guan Yu feel strange. When all of Guan Yu's troops left Shouchun, a fire broke out in Shouchun. Liu Mang ordered his troops to enter the city. The first to enter Shouchun was naturally the City Guard! The City Guard were heavily armored soldiers. Their defense was amazing and they had huge shields to protect them. Even if there was a trap in the city, as long as the City Guard entered the city, it would be impossible to drive them out without paying a huge price. After that, it was the black army, followed by the tens of thousands of craftsmen and common people! Finally, it was Zhao Yun's two hundred City Guard cavalry! No! It should be two hundred White Horse Soldiers now!
This Guan Yu really set a fire in Shouchun City in order to delay his pursuit. He set fire to all the provisions and military equipment that couldn't be taken away! Even if Liu Mang wanted to chase, he had no way to do so! He had to extinguish the fire! If the fire started, then everyone would have to prepare to sleep on the streets! Fortunately, Liu Mang not only had ten thousand soldiers, he also had more than fifty thousand common people. With everyone's help, the fire was stopped!
Yang Hong was naturally responsible for letting the commoners count the supplies. Suddenly, there were a lot of unexpected wealth. Among the supplies in Shouchun, there were nearly twenty thousand shi of provisions. There were also several thousand shi of burned supplies. There were also bows and arrows. Liu Mang counted two hundred thousand arrows. These two hundred thousand arrows were enough to fight a large scale battle! There were also many rolling stones and fallen trees. There were also many weapons!
This Liu Mang had a lot of wealth! There were so many supplies in Shouchun. If Liu Mang did not have the ballistae in his hands, then this battle would have been very difficult to win. At the very least, Liu Mang's army would not have been able to take Shouchun for ten days to half a month. The casualties would have been disastrous! However, with the ballistae, sieging a city had become simple! And these supplies prepared by Liu Mang became Liu Mang's spoils of war!
"Zilong, how is the condition of your White Horse Soldiers?" Liu Mang thought for a while and asked the white robed general.
"Reporting to the Lord, there is no problem in killing the enemy!" Although Zhao Yun's White Horse Soldiers had just been taken over, he was very satisfied with the cavalry that originally belonged to the City Guard Cavalry Battalion. How could he not be satisfied! The horses under them were all pure-blooded horses! They were Arabian warhorses! These warhorses were all good breeds. They were specially prepared for the cold weapon cavalry! If it were not for the firearms that ended the cavalry era, then these warhorses would have been military supplies!
The warhorses were good! The quality of these cavalry was not bad. If there were veterans under Liu Mang's command, then it would be these cavalry soldiers. In the battle of Wan Cheng city, Liu Mang let Chengyu lead these cavalry soldiers to leave Wan Cheng city in order to leave the seeds for the City Guard. These were all veterans who had followed Liu Mang for a long time!
The armor on their bodies were all heavy armor with amazing defense. However, the weight was only twenty jin. This weight was heavier than light armor, but not by much!
The warhorses were good and the weight was small. What was the result? Zhao Yun is very interested in this cavalry. He has been eating and drinking on the warhorse for the past few days! What Zhao Yun needed to do was to integrate with these cavalry soldiers! He wanted to bring the White Horse Congyi back to the world. He wanted the world to remember the White Horse Congyi. He wanted the world to remember the White Horse Congyi. He once spilled blood for the people of the Great Han Dynasty. Although he was blinded by power in the end, at least he was here!
Zhao Yun also wanted to test the power of his cavalry soldiers. But today's battle did not require Zhao Yun's White Horse Soldiers. Therefore, Zhao Yun was in a dilemma! Moreover, the opponent was an old acquaintance! Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang. Zhao Yun's impression of this General Guan was very good. If it was not for the recruitment order, Zhao Yun would have to call Guan Yu Second General.
But now, Liu Mang asked him about the status of the White Horse Soldiers. Zhao Yun's eyes became eager again. His friendship with Guan Yu was one thing. Now that he was serving his own master, Zhao Yun knew how to choose. General Guan, I am sorry! Let's use you as a witness for White Horse Following Righteousness's reign!
"That's good! Zilong, you take the White Horse Soldiers along the Huai River to catch up to General Guan Yu and send me a message! "Liu Mang also saw the eagerness in Zhao Yun's eyes. He was afraid that Zhao Yun would be apprehensive about their old friendship! But now, it seems that Zilong still knew how to look at the big picture. This made Liu Mang very satisfied.
"Send a message?" Zhao Yun was a bit strange. Wasn't he asking them to chase? Why did he only send a message?
"Just say, thank you General Guan Yu for the arrows!" Liu Mang suddenly became evil. Originally, this sentence was said to Boss Cao. During the battle of Red Cliff, Brother Zhu was framed by Zhou Yu and wrote a pledge of 100,000 arrows. This forced Brother Zhu to borrow arrows from a straw boat. In the end, he took 100,000 arrows and said thank you to Prime Minister Cao for the arrows. You can imagine how depressed Cao Cao was at that time!
Right now, Liu Mang has two hundred thousand arrows! He also had 20,000 shi of provisions. If he said this sentence to Lord Guan Yu, who knows what Lord Guan Yu would think! Liu Mang could not help but stroke his beard and laugh.
"Yes!" Zhao Yun was very puzzled. He did not know why his lord suddenly laughed. But Zhao Yun still carried out Liu Mang's order.
He held the Torrential Pear Blossom Spear in his hand and said, "Everyone, get on your horses!" Although Zhao Yun had not interacted with these White Horse soldiers for a long time, Zhao Yun's treatment of soldiers and Zhao Yun's martial arts had deeply impressed these old Urban Army soldiers. Therefore, at Zhao Yun's command, everyone once again leapt onto their warhorses! The two hundred cavalry immediately turned their horses around and galloped towards the north gate of Shouchun.
"White Horse Soldiers! Peerless Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong! " Liu Mang's face revealed a smile. The reason why he created a cavalry was not only because he needed the mobility of the cavalry, but also because he wanted to create a cavalry that was stronger than his father-in-law's cavalry! From the beginning, Liu Mang wanted to compare the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. He wanted to see Boss Lu's expression when the White Horse Soldiers were comparable to the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry!
Thinking of this, Liu Mang became evil again!
If the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry represented the dark and evil power of blood, then the White Horse Soldiers represented the white power of judgment. When the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was in Bing Province, it was a competition to see who was more ruthless. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was not only ruthless to the enemy, but also to themselves! They could disregard life and death for victory!
But what about the White Horse Soldiers? In Youzhou Province, it was a trial. White Horse Congyi would not let off any tribe that had entered the Central Plains and killed Han people. Similarly, White Horse Congyi would not slaughter any tribe that had not entered the Central Plains.
Although the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry's main general was Zhang Liao, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry's Wolf God was actually Lü Bu and Lü Fengxian.
The White Horse Soldiers' main general was Zhao Yun. Lü Bu and Zhao Yun were both top generals. One black and one white, they were two extremes! Lü Bu was cold and ruthless, while Zhao Yun was loyal and considerate!
With two different styles, the troops and horses brought out by two different styles would also be different!
The White Horse Soldiers set off. The north gate was where Guan Yu's troops left. Zhao Yun only needed to follow the north gate to the river to find Guan Yu's troops.
The White Horse Soldiers were very fast. Zhao Yun was also very careful. He had been paying attention to the surrounding movements. He only had 200 cavalrymen. Therefore, Zhao Yun could not afford to lose them! Moreover, Zhao Yun had suffered from an ambush in You Province. That was in Yuan Shao's camp. There was a person called Ju Yi who ambushed the White Horse Soldiers and crippled them!
However, it was clear that Zhao Yun was too careful. This was because Guan Yu did not leave behind any ambush. The reason he left behind an ambush was to lure the enemy in! Other than the north gate of Shouchun, there was the Huai River. The view was very wide. Ambush the enemy or bury oneself?
When Zhao Yun caught up with Guan Yu's troops, he found that Guan Yu's troops had already boarded the warships and were preparing to leave along the Huai River!
Guan Yu was deep in thought alone in one of the warships! This was because he found that this battle was really useless. He had decided Shouchun's fate in one battle! He had not even touched the enemy's hair and had already lost hundreds of soldiers. Moreover, he had left a large number of supplies in Shouchun. Although he had set fire to them in the end, how much could he have burned?
Most importantly, didn't you realize that it was too easy to retreat this time? It was too easy. Guan Yu was prepared to leave behind 3,000 troops to cover the retreat. However, these 3,000 troops were brought out unscathed!
Moreover, after the south gate was broken, Liu Mang's Army did not directly attack. Instead, they waited for his troops to start retreating and set fire to Shouchun. Only then did they slowly enter Shouchun!
All of this could be summed up in one sentence: "His Highness King of Shu is showing mercy!" How ironic and bitter! Originally, he said that the other party did not understand military affairs and was only an armchair strategist. However, now that Shouchun had been taken, Guan Yu was merciful. If Liu Mang's Army had directly entered Shouchun, then it would have been good if he could bring out half of the 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers!
Just when Guan Yu was feeling bitter, Tao Quan's voice came from outside the ship. "Why are Liu Mang's cavalry still chasing us?"
"Huh?" Guan Yu frowned. He walked out of the cabin and came to the deck. At a glance, he saw a group of cavalry wearing white robes galloping along the river bank. There were two flags on them. One was Liu and the other was Zhao. The Liu flag was the flag of Liu Mang's Army. It was golden in color. The other one was Zhao, which represented the leading general, Zhao Yun, Zhao Zi Long!
"It's Zhao Zi Long!" Guan Yu remembered that when he was in Shouchun, he saw Zhao Yun, Zhao Zi Long, leading the hundreds of cavalry under Liu Mang's command! He was an old acquaintance. Originally, when Zhao Yun appeared in Liu Mang's Army, Guan Yu was very puzzled. However, because Liu Mang's Army was approaching, he put it aside.
Now, he saw the flag with the word Zhao. When he boarded the ship, he saw that Zhao Yun was also in the cavalry.
What was Zhao Zi Long doing here? Guan Yu frowned. He was thinking about the reason. If it was Liu Mang's troops that were chasing them, then they would be on board the ship. No matter how strong the cavalry was, they would not be able to do anything to them. Then, there was only one possibility! Guan Yu's face showed a happy expression. He thought that Zhao Zi Long was going to join his brother. Not only did he come, but he also brought hundreds of heavy cavalry with him. Guan Yu's thought was very beautiful! He thought that he finally knew why Zhao Zi Long appeared in Liu Mang's Army. He was perfunctory to His Highness the King Of Shu. After obtaining the military power, how could he not leave? Moreover, Liu Mang belonged to the Lvbu's Army. Lü Bu was a notorious person! Zhao Yun hated this kind of person the most!
When Zhao Yun was in Qingzhou, he often drank with his three friends in the Peach Garden! The relationship between Escapist Liu and Zhao Yun is also not bad, the only thing left is to sell chrysanthemums!
Guan Yu smiled and stepped on the deck. Although he lost Shouchun, he still got Zhao Zi Long and hundreds of heavy cavalry. It was not a loss! He could still get Shouchun in the future! But now, Liu Mang's Army lacked cavalry!
Guan Yu smiled and was about to greet Zhao Yun on the shore and let his subordinates move the warship to the shore. Suddenly, a shout came from Zhao Yun's army. This made Guan Yu's face suddenly changed color!
First, it was red, then it turned purple, then it turned black, and finally it turned red. It was simply like Qingcheng changing face! Fortunately, Guan Yu was a general. He resisted the urge to spit out blood and swallowed it!
"General, general, what happened to you!" After the red color, it turned white! So, Tao Quan quickly went forward to support Guan Yu.
"Send me back to the cabin!" Guan Yu's whole body was trembling. A soldier can be killed but not humiliated! Now, the hundreds of cavalry on the riverbank directly smashed Guan Yu's face. His poor self-esteem could not bear the blow!
"Yes!" Tao Quan had to support Guan Yu back to the cabin. He also felt that the sound was very harsh!
"By the order of His Highness the King Of Shu, we thank General Guan Yu for the arrows!" Two hundred people shouted in unison. Their voices echoed throughout the riverbank!
