Zhou Lang Zhou Lang

On the same night, in the city of Xiapi.

Cao Jun, who was besieging the city during the day, suddenly stopped their violent siege, and turned to the west to continuously blast their horns.Standing at the top of the city and looking into the distance, you can even see the horses ridden by tigers and leopards in Cao Ying's camp, flying like fog and flying straight into the sky.Regardless of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's objections, Liu Bei hurriedly climbed up the city wall, wishing he could gain a pair of clairvoyant eyes immediately to see the movements of Cao Jun in Qingyuan.

The city wall of Xiapi has been climbed to the top of the wall by Cao Jun twice in succession today. If it weren't for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two thousand-thousand-thousand enemies who fought desperately without retreating, Xiapi City would have been unable to defend it long ago.

Even so, the casualties of soldiers in the city have exceeded [-]%. As long as Cao Jun persists in the onslaught for another day, Xiapi will undoubtedly be broken.Even Liu Bei felt desperate. He was even ready to surrender in Kaesong, but Cao Jun stopped the offensive at this time.

It had been five full days since Zhao Yun broke through the siege, and the sudden change in Cao's army made him faintly feel that it was the result of Zhao Yun asking Sun Quan for help. Who can make Cao Cao's five thousand tiger and leopard riders so afraid.

However, during this day, although Cao Jun stopped the offensive, except for the frightening sound of the horn, he didn't see any intention of withdrawing his troops at all.Until nightfall, the sentry on the city tower suddenly reported that they had discovered the retreat of Cao Jun.

Did Cao Cao retreat to advance and lure him to break through, or did Sun Quan really send troops to rescue?Liu Bei was thinking about breaking out and holding on, and he was almost worried to death.

"Brother, why don't I lead an elite army out of the city quietly and pursue Cao Cao from behind. Whether he really withdraws or pretends to withdraw, I will kill him for a while. If Sun Quan comes and sees Cao's army in chaos, he will not let him go." Take this opportunity to launch a joint attack." Zhang Fei was impatient, and couldn't bear this kind of dilemma, and he couldn't stand the situation of constant interruption. He walked back and forth in the room twice and didn't see Liu Bei's decision. Set up an ambush, I will fight to the death and delay him for a night, and Brother Lao and Brother Bao will leave the city from behind."

"Third brother can't!" Liu Bei couldn't help shaking his head when he heard the words, and said righteously, "You and my brothers advance together and retreat together. How can I leave you to fight to the death and run for my own life?"

"Brother, third brother may not be able to do this plan." Guan Yu on the side stroked his long beard, squinted a pair of phoenix eyes, with an awe-inspiring aura, not angry but mighty, "It's just that it is better for someone to send troops. The third younger brother fought against that Zhou Lang before, if we meet again this time, if Zhou Lang has a discord because of the past, wouldn't it be a big deal?"

Zhang Fei thought about how he met Zhou Yu several times, but he didn't feel that he was such a narrow-minded person who didn't care about the seriousness, so he argued: "What if we have fought against each other? At worst, I will fight him for another three hundred rounds, maybe Lose to him!"

"Third Brother!" This time it was Liu Bei and Guan Yu who objected in unison.

So, after arguing and arguing, it was finally decided that Guan Yu would lead the troops out of the city and rush to kill Cao Jun's camp, while Zhang Fei would protect Liu Bei, defend the city and abandon the city, and play by ear.

The sound of horns, drums, shouts of killing, human footsteps mixed with neighing of horseshoes and horses, gathered into a chaotic noise like mountains and seas, which woke Li Mu up from his deep sleep.

The moment he opened his eyes, Li Mu saw that the military tent was glowing red with the light of the fire, reflecting countless figures scurrying back and forth in a panic, and the howling sound of sharp arrows piercing the air one after another.

With a thump in his heart, Li Mu quickly put on his outer robe and rushed out of the tent door. As soon as the heavy tent was lifted, the fire outside the sky dimmed for an instant, but the braziers and torches in the camp were all extinguished, and only groups of soldiers were running back and forth. , Shouting "The enemy robbed the camp, watch the fire at the gate!"

Hijack the camp!

Li Mu couldn't help gasping—could it be that Cao Cao called?

"Where is General Taishi?" Looking at the brighter and brighter flames in front of the camp, Li Mu burned all his body, stopped the last soldier and asked sharply.

The soldier was also panicked, seeing that it was Li Mu, he didn't have time to salute, he raised his hand and pointed forward.

Following the direction he pointed, Li Mu found Tai Shici's figure, who was quickly taking the battle armor from the personal guard and putting it on his body, while a person beside him was shouting a loud voice to the orderly. Another military order, the sound was mixed with the noisy voices of people, horses neighing, drums and trumpets, and the face was also unclear due to the half-darkened campfire, but Li Mu could recognize the figure at a glance .

Why is Zhou Yu here?

Li Mu rubbed his eyes subconsciously, and when he opened them again, the two people in front of him disappeared.She hurriedly ran two steps out, when suddenly her arms tightened and she was grabbed by someone.

Before she could turn her head, she heard Tai Shici yelling at her: "What are you doing out here, come back!"

In this noisy scene, Zhou Yu was even glimpsed, how could Li Mu be willing to hide in the army tent.Just as he was about to shake off his hand and ask Tai Shici about Zhou Yu, Tai Shici raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes: "Do you want to disturb the morale of the army? Hurry up and leave!"

Li Mu was staggered by him, his arms loosened, and Tai Shici had already rushed towards the brightest direction of the Yuanmen fire. In the blazing fire, there were dark shadows. Because all the torches inside the camp were extinguished, the surrounding Suddenly it became dark, the enemy army seemed to have given up on continuing to shoot arrows without being able to see the camp clearly. Amidst the thunderous shouts of killing, one could see the horses galloping back and forth, their hoofs rumbling like thunder, and they all rushed toward the enemy in the dark night like waves. Her rock-like camp swooped down.

After being yelled at by Tai Shici, Li Mu realized that if she was still standing blankly outside the military tent, she would become the object of attention of all the soldiers, and would hinder them from fighting the enemy wholeheartedly. One piece, turned around and returned to the military tent.However, after pacing back and forth twice in the huge tent, the more he walked, the more flustered he became, so he simply stood still behind the low-hanging tent and listened to all the sounds outside.

In this way, Li Mu stood in the middle of the night until the sky turned blue and white, the shouts outside gradually subsided, and the sky and the earth seemed to quiet down, only the sound of his heavy breathing and the beating of his chest could be heard.

Slowly raising the tent, a small school came rushing over to report that the enemy had retreated, Li Mu let out a hard breath, swayed, and slowly moved his legs that were already stiff after standing motionless all night He and his ankle hurried towards the gate.

At a distance of 150 steps, there was a mess, telling the tragedy of the battle last night.

Arrows are everywhere, scorched wood and severed limbs overlap each other, and the blurry black and red spots are burnt marks or blood stains. Inside and outside the shaft gate, there are corpses lying on the ground in disorder, or hanging stabs on the broken wood with sharp blades. , the strong smell of blood made her stomach churn, and Zhou Yu was standing in this sea of ​​corpses and blood.

But not far outside the camp, with the dawn light, the densely packed soldiers and horses with disheveled armor, a banner was slowly raised, and a huge "Guan" character was waving in the wind.

Guan Yu was also very depressed.

He obviously came to Sun Jun for help.

He left the city at night to break through, in order to catch Cao Jun by surprise, break through Cao Ying's interception in the chaos, and go straight to Sun Jun for help, so naturally he didn't dare to march with torches.However, there was no moon or stars last night, and it was difficult for people and horses to see anything, so they could only look for the direction of Guangling and drove most of the night in one breath.He was always guarding against Cao Jun's sneak attack and setting up an ambush, but nothing happened all the way.

Cao Jun, who surrounded Xiapi tightly during the day, seemed to have disappeared overnight. Guan Yu knew something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what Cao Cao was planning when he was in it.If you can't just turn back, you can only be extra careful.

Therefore, this carefulness was like a bowstring that was getting tighter and tighter. When it finally encountered a small group of Cao Jun's robbery, it turned into that star-feathered sharp arrow. shoot out.

In the dark night, it was not clear how many people there were in the Cao army. He forced himself to form an formation and ordered the whole army to rush forward. As soon as he charged, he saw the flames in Li Mu's camp.

Liu Bei was trapped in Xiapi, and he didn't know that Li Mu had moved to the vicinity of Huaiyin, so Guan Yu only said that Xiapi was surrounded by Cao's army. In the dark night, the banners and banners in the camp could not be seen clearly in the firelight. The previous Cao army had been drawn into the encirclement of Cao Ying. In a fit of rage, he just wanted to get ahead of Cao Cao, taking advantage of his current momentum in the army, rushing to disrupt Cao Ying, even if he couldn't wait for Sun Jun's reinforcements, at least he would Can Cao Cao be delayed for a moment longer, so that Liu Bei can leave the city safely.

Sudden attack, although the Jiangdong army was caught off guard and panicked for a while at first, it soon launched a rapid counterattack under the command of Zhou Yu and Tai Shici.The fire that illuminates the camp will become a bright light for raiders in the dark, and even illuminate the reality of the camp, then order the fire to be extinguished, leaving only a circle of torches in front of the Yuanmen camp.It is also because of this that even though Guan Yu has already attacked the camp wall several times, the distance is dark and the near light is near, let alone the banner in the camp.

Fighting in the middle of the night, rushing from left to right, until it was getting brighter, Guan Yu saw that the soldiers in the battalion were dressed in a completely different color from the day before when they fought with Cao Jun, and then he saw something was wrong.

At this time, the huge flying "Sun" character was also fully revealed in the morning light.

During the fierce battle last night, he rushed all the way, and was about to rush into the camp gate several times, but was blocked by Zhou Yu or Tai Shici. Although he admired the opponent's skill, it was a mess at that time, and it was impossible to report his name.

Of course, if it was Zhang Fei who came, even if he couldn't see the banner clearly, he would be able to immediately detect the difference based on his previous experience of fighting Zhou Yu.

So an own goal eventually turned into a fierce battle between the two sides overnight.

Li Mu looked Zhou Yu up and down, and after making sure that he was not injured at all, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.Then he turned his head to look at the incompletely armored soldiers and horses outside the camp.

The camp is high, and the soldiers and horses outside are not even in an orderly formation.Based on his experience in military drills these days, Li Mu can roughly estimate that there are more than two thousand at a glance.

It is precisely these 2000 people who made the surprise attack last night. If it weren't for Taishi Ci's strict military formation and Zhou Yu's formation command, she might really break out of the encirclement and escape this time.

"Is it really Guan Yu?" Li Mu looked at the big flag unfurling in the air, and besides Guan Yu, she couldn't think of any Guan Yu nearby who could have the ability to make Zhou Yu fight so hard overnight.And the general at the front of those soldiers and horses was dressed in a green robe, holding a long knife in his hand, and a vigorous red horse under him. Although he couldn't tell whether his facial features were as red as the red dates in the legend, but with that suit alone I'm afraid it can only be Guan Yu with his immovable momentum.
