The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 196
Seeing that Guan Yu was about to break through, Xu Zhu who was standing beside Li Yuan said, "Master, do you want me to lead the Tiger Guards to stop Guan Yu?"

Li Yuan shook his head, "No need, Guan Yu's killing intent is very strong now. Although you can deal with it, the soldiers of the Tiger Guards can't help him. The flying cavalry army will come after a while, and Guan Yu will not be able to escape no matter how powerful he is."

After nearly an hour of fighting, Guan Yu finally rushed out of Li Yuan's camp. However, there were only less than 1000 soldiers left under his command, and more than 3000 people were lost. It can be seen that Li Yuan's army's combat power is amazing. so hard.

After rushing out of the camp, Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to relax completely, because there were still pursuers behind him.

"Everyone, it's not time to rest yet. I'll wait until we reach Le'an Port to rest. Come with me!" Guan Yu waved his hand and let the soldiers continue to move forward. Get rid of Li Yuan's soldiers and horses, if they stop, they will be overtaken.

The soldiers gritted their teeth and continued to follow Guan Yu. Thanks to Guan Yu's strict command of the army, otherwise these soldiers would not continue to follow, but chose to rest.

However, just after Guan Yu had run less than two miles, he suddenly felt the ground trembling continuously, and he knew what was going on almost without thinking. He looked back and saw countless torches approaching them rapidly, and the sound of galloping horses was unbelievable. Compared with Lei Ming, only a large number of cavalry can cause such momentum.

"General Guan is not good, there are cavalry chasing him!" Many soldiers showed panic. If the enemy had cavalry, they would not be able to escape no matter how fast they ran. How could people outrun horses.

"Could it be Li Yuan's Flying Cavalry Army? They are so patient that they dispatched after consuming most of my soldiers and horses!" Guan Yu said earnestly. Now he only has a thousand soldiers left, and he has gone through a great battle. How could it be the opponent of the Flying Cavalry Army.

"General Guan, you retreat first, let me wait to stop the flying cavalry army." A deputy general walked up to Guan Yu and said.

"No, how can I, Guan Yunchang, abandon my soldiers and leave." Guan Yu refused the lieutenant general's kindness.

"General Guan, you are the lord's brother-in-law. We absolutely cannot let you die here. In the future, you will fight on the battlefield for the lord. Your ability is far superior to ours. We can die, but you can't! The deputy general resolutely persuaded Guan Yu to leave.

Just as Guan Yu was still hesitating, countless arrows rained from the sky. It turned out that Zhao Yun had ordered the use of cavalry and archery to attack Guan Yu's army. Because it was very dark around, Guan Yu and others did not notice that the enemy was shooting, and they shot What came out was not a rocket, but an ordinary arrow.

Guan Yu's ears were very sensitive, and he heard the arrow before it flew down. He immediately shouted: "Find something to cover, the enemy is using cavalry and shooting!"

While speaking, Guan Yu raised the Qinglong Yanyue Knife to block. The Qinglong Yanyue Knife was like a diamond shield, protecting Guan Yu tightly. Countless arrows were bounced off by him, and they couldn't hurt him. Although he could block the arrows, but The soldiers under his command were not as good at martial arts as he was. Hundreds of soldiers were shot down by arrows, and a thousand soldiers and horses lost another [-]%.

Seeing that so many soldiers and horses were lost again, Guan Yu was heartbroken. The lieutenant beside him whipped Guan Yu's horses vigorously. The horses immediately neighed in pain, and then ran forward.

"You..." Guan Yu glanced back.

"General Guan, please don't blame me. You can only die if you stay here. I hope you can avenge me in the future!" The deputy general raised his weapon and said to the remaining soldiers, "Everyone, my lord is extremely benevolent and righteous, General Guan I am extremely loyal, it is my honor to be able to serve them, and now I am about to die on the battlefield, if you still have a little courage, join me for a while with the world-famous flying cavalry army!"

Hearing this, the panicked people gradually calmed down. Thinking of Guan Yu's kindness to them, they felt that it was worth dying for him, so everyone took up their weapons and launched a final charge towards the flying cavalry army!

"Boom, boom!" The flying cavalry army began to trample on them mercilessly. The remaining 700 soldiers and horses were so powerless in the face of the flying cavalry army, but they did not flinch because there was a man named Guan Yunchang standing behind them. Man, they want to fight for Guan Yu's precious time, even if they die.

Guan Yu glanced back, he wanted to save those loyal subordinates, but this was a chance they had fought so hard to escape, if he went back, it would be tantamount to making their sacrifices in vain, Guan Yu gritted his teeth and said: "Rest in peace, I, Guan Yunchang I will definitely avenge you. Li Yuan, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, when I meet you on the battlefield in the future, you will be my ghosts!"

After only one charge, Zhao Yun and his flying cavalry defeated hundreds of soldiers, but those soldiers did buy Guan Yu precious time. Looking at Guan Yu who had gone away, Zang Hong couldn't help asking: "General Zhao?" , shall I continue to chase Guan Yu?"

"No need, Guan Yu is far away. I can't catch up. It's a pity. It seems that Guan Yu is a good general." Zhao Yun sighed helplessly. If they can arrive sooner, they can catch up with Guan Yu.

"Why did General Zhao say that Guan Yu was a good general, and he abandoned his subordinates? Is that considered good?" Zang Hong asked puzzled.

"Guan Yu didn't abandon his subordinates, but his subordinates voluntarily stayed in the rear, buying precious time for Guan Yu to escape. Only a general with high skills and excellent treatment of soldiers can make the soldiers follow him to the death." Zhao Yun remembered the last moment of the enemy. Although they were not their opponents in a charge, he was also moved by the aura of death.

Guan Yu finally escaped. Zhao Yun returned to the camp and explained to Li Yuan how he pursued Guan Yu. Li Yuan did not blame Zhao Yun after listening to it. It was not so easy anymore, and he believed that they would fight again in the future.

"My lord, now that Liu Bei's army is breaking out to the west, I don't know if Cao Cao has managed to keep them. Should I help?" Zhao Yun asked.

"Our army enters Licheng to rest first, and then send people to inquire about information. If Liu Bei has not escaped from Cao Cao's encirclement, then go to help. If Liu Bei has already escaped, then we can make a long-term plan."

"Yes!" Zhao Yun sent several flying cavalry soldiers to inquire about information, while Li Yuan led the army into Licheng to rest.

More than an hour later, the soldiers came back and reported that Cao Cao's siege of Liu Bei's army failed. Although 5000 enemy troops were severely injured, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and others still broke through.

Li Yuan regretted, "I didn't expect Liu Bei to run away. It's a pity."
