The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 579

"Go away!" Guan Yu roared angrily, and waved the Qinglong Yanyue Saber with both hands, forming an airtight diamond circle around him, and Jinfanying's attack was caught by him immediately.

Guan Yu glanced at Gan Ning, who had been covered by several soldiers and retreated, and knew that it was impossible to catch up. If he was in good condition, he would pursue without hesitation, but now he felt exhausted, so he gave up the kill immediately. Gan Ning, he turned his horse's head and chose to retreat.

"Come if you are not afraid of death!" Guan Yu slashed several times, forcing more than a dozen soldiers of the Jinfan Battalion to retreat a few steps. However, no matter how brave they were after seeing Guan Yu's strength, they did not dare to pursue again, and Gan Ning suffered Seriously injured, escorting Gan Ning back was the most important thing, so they all consciously made way for Guan Yu to leave.

After Guan Yu escaped from the encirclement, he fled in the direction of Zhuge Liang. After a while, the soldiers and horses sent by Zhuge Liang successfully joined him. Li Tong and Gao Shun were blocked by Zhang Ren and Yan Yan and could not catch up. They could only watch Guan Yu leave go.

"General Guan is so brave that he was able to break through under heavy siege. He is the best in the world." Zhuge Liang saw that Guan Yu was covered in blood, both his own blood and the blood of the enemy. Gan Ning, who was quite difficult and could plunge Guan Yu into a hard fight, was defeated, but it was an honorable defeat.

Guan Yu said ashamedly: "What kind of bullshit am I to be the number one? If I were really number one, why would I fall into a hard fight, military commander, let's retreat to Hanzhong as soon as possible. This time you brought so many soldiers and horses out, the defense of the city doesn't matter, right?"

"Don't worry, there are still [-] soldiers defending the city, but you are right, we must retreat quickly, so as not to be besieged by the enemy again." Zhuge Liang immediately ordered to retreat.Guan Yu led the troops back to Hanzhong, and Zhang Ren and Yan Yan also fought and retreated.

In fact, Zhuge Liang now has more soldiers than Gan Ning, Li Tong, and Gao Shun. Normally, he would not hesitate to fight the enemy, but he doesn't know how many soldiers Lu Xun still has in the camp, so He didn't dare to take any risks. It was already very risky for him to go out of the city to rescue Guan Yu this time. Lu Xun must know that he came out. If he didn't go back, he might be flanked by Lu Xun from behind. This was what he was most worried about.

The two sides chased each other, and when Zhuge Liang's army was about to approach Hanzhong, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of them and blocked their way. The leader of the army was none other than Lu Xun.

Lu Xun had already discovered that Zhuge Liang led his troops out to rescue Guan Yu. He did not ambush Guan Yu to take the opportunity to attack Hanzhong, but to lure Zhuge Liang out. Zhuge Liang might know that this was his trick to lure the snake out of the hole, but even if he knew, he had to save Guan Yu, so Lu Xun deliberately waited for Zhuge Liang to come out before sending troops. At this time, he could choose to attack Hanzhong, but Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang were already outside the city. As long as they were successfully killed, Hanzhong would be easy to attack, so intercepting Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu from returning to Hanzhong was the top priority.

"Zhuge Liang can't think of it, I've been waiting for you to come back for a long time." Lu Xun led the army to block Zhuge Liang's way. Although he was dressed as a general, he didn't have the aura of a general fighting on the battlefield at all. Instead, he showed the temperament of a scholar. In this regard, he is quite like Zhou Yu, a Confucian general of the generation.

Zhuge Liang seemed to have realized that Lu Xun would intercept him here, so he wasn't too surprised, and said calmly, "Are you Lu Xun?"

"It's my honor that Mr. Zhuge has heard of my name." Lu Xun said modestly, as if he didn't regard Zhuge Liang as an enemy.

Zhuge Liang saw that Lu Xun was a talented person with an extraordinary temperament, and he couldn't help but admired: "No wonder Li Yuan reuses you, you are the first one who can count on me, Zhuge Liang."

"Mr. Zhuge, you are being polite. Now you are surrounded by our army. If I were you, I would surrender immediately. How can I talk and laugh like you." Lu Xun also had a unique way of persuading others to surrender.

"Lu Xun, you underestimate me too much. I still have nearly 3 troops here, Gao Shun and Li Tong's troops are less than 2, and your troops will definitely not exceed 2. In addition, Gan Ning was killed. General Guan is seriously injured, and our army's morale is high, how can you be sure of victory?" Zhuge Liang purposely uttered Guan Yu's defeat of Gan Ning aloud, in order to hit the enemy's morale.

Lu Xun frowned. He didn't expect that Gan Ning would be seriously injured by Guan Yu. If that was the case, he would have one less general in command. The blow to morale was indeed serious. However, he did not panic, but calmly said: "General Guan is deliberately fierce. However, no matter how powerful he is, he can't stand against thousands of troops. Even if he defeated General Gan, he must have exhausted a lot of energy and suffered a lot of injuries. It is even easier to defeat him at this time. How could I easily let you go back? .”

Zhuge Liang couldn't help admiring Lu Xun even more when he heard the words. Guan Yu had indeed suffered a lot of injuries, and his physical strength was running low. Now Guan Yu only had [-]% to [-]% of his strength when he was in his prime. Continuing to fight would be very detrimental to his injuries.

"If you want to fight me, I will fight. At most, the fish will die and the net will be broken. I don't believe that you will be so powerful if 4 people beat me with 3 people. After fighting with me, you don't even think that you still have enough troops to take Hanzhong. I have already Send a letter to Uncle Liu Huang asking him to send more troops to Hanzhong from Chengdu. Even if our entire army is wiped out, as long as you fail to take Hanzhong, your efforts will be in vain. With Tongguan, he will not be able to join Li Yuan's army, and we will still win in the end." Zhuge Liang made up his mind that they had no way to retreat, so they had to fight.

Lu Xun hesitated a little. He knew that what Zhuge Liang said was right. He would have suffered heavy losses if he wiped out Zhuge Liang's army here. It would be impossible to capture Hanzhong with the remnants of the soldiers. If Chengdu had enough troops to reinforce Hanzhong, it would be even more impossible for them to attack. Going to Hanzhong, in this way, it will not be able to help Ma Teng attack Tongguan, so the most important thing is still to attack Hanzhong.

After a long time, Lu Xun ordered: "The whole army obeys the order, annihilate the enemy's soldiers and horses, and don't let a single one go!"

"Kill!" All the soldiers shouted at the same time, and they launched the most violent charge under Lu Xun's order.

Zhuge Liang raised the goose feather fan in his hand and said loudly: "Our army has no way out in this battle. If you don't want to die, follow me, Zhuge Liang, and fight back to Hanzhong!"

"Everyone come with me!" Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue knife in his hand, and he rushed out first. The wound on his body has been bandaged, but if he moves a little too hard, the wound will open, but at this time he has already ignored the injury. There is only one way to die if you can't go back to Hanzhong, so he went into battle to kill the enemy regardless of his own safety.
