The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 422 Another Defeat

Ever since Guan Yu led his army to pursue Wu Jun again, Shi Guangyuan, the military commander of the town army, had been feeling very uneasy.Especially this time when the enemy army came out, two great men, Sun Quan and Lu Meng, were personally in charge. How could it be so easy to lose?

Therefore, Shi Guangyuan naturally thought of one thing: This may be Wu Jun's conspiracy, in order to lure Guan Yu into a trap!

——Is Wu Jun going to trap or ambush?

Shi Guangyuan was familiar with military books and war strategies, and these two strategies emerged in his mind, which were most suitable for the current situation and conditions.

But Guan Yu's life is related to the fate of thousands of troops behind him.Now there is not enough time for Shi Guangyuan to think about the key points in detail, and then come to the conclusion of these two strategies, which one the enemy will use most.

When Shi Guangyuan thought of this, he was as unrestrained as he was, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously.Although the cold wind in the winter in the field was not strong, it blew a chill on his forehead, which made him realize immediately: no matter what kind of situation will happen now, it is right to send people to respond to Guan Yu immediately.

Shi Guangyuan immediately summoned Liao Hua and told him his analysis in detail.Liao Hua had listened to Guan Yu all the year round, and he had a deep relationship with Guan Yu. Now that he heard that the Junhouhui might fall into the enemy's scheme, he became extremely anxious, and even his expression changed.

Liao Hua said anxiously: "Military Master, what should we do now?"

Shi Guangyuan didn't want Liao Hua to see his inner anxiety, otherwise it might affect morale.He told Liao Hua: "General Liao, I will allocate 5000 troops to you now, and you should go and chase General Guan back immediately. However, you must be careful along the way, lest even you will be caught by the enemy's tricks again." Danger."

Liao Hua was anxious and didn't talk nonsense, and immediately led the troops away after receiving the order.

Looking at the receding figure of Liao Hua's men and horses, and hearing their footsteps on the snowy ground already covered with messy footprints, Shi Guangyuan couldn't feel at ease no matter what.

Wang Fu's resourcefulness may not be as good as Shi Guangyuan's, but when it comes to being a man and watching his words, he is much stronger than Shi Guangyuan.

After these few days of contact with Shi Guangyuan, he has learned that Shi Guangyuan is arrogant, but in fact he is more self-confident, so he does not contradict Shi Guangyuan's wild personality, and the two even get along with each other Not bad.Therefore, he acted as a mediator in the conflict between Guan Yu and Shi Guangyuan in the army.

Wang Fu saw that Shi Guangyuan had lost his usual high-spirited demeanor, but his face showed worry instead.He stepped forward to appease Shi Guangyuan and said: "Junshi Shi, the Junhou is brave in this world, who can do anything to win him? Don't worry, General Liao Hua will definitely bring the Junhou back safely."

Shi Guangyuan turned his head, looked at Wang Fu gratefully, nodded and said, "I hope so!"

After chasing for dozens of miles, Liao Hua saw many infantry who had fallen behind along the way, so he had to incorporate them all into his team.However, with such a chaotic situation, Guan Yu's front troops may have separated from the main force.Liao Hua really began to worry about Guan Yu's safety.

Then, someone in Liao Hua's army suddenly shouted loudly: "Look, black smoke is coming out of the mountains ahead!"

Liao Hua's soldiers all stopped and looked towards the mountain.

Under the gloomy sky, a group of thick clouds suppressed the sky above the mountainous area, like a piece of gray brick that was about to smash the entire mountainous area into pieces.From the bottom of the cloud layer, thick smoke rose up one after another. Below the smoke was a piece of orange-red light, flickering, like the setting sun falling there, emitting shimmering light from bottom to top.

Liao Hua is an experienced general, and he immediately knew what was going on with that light.Liao Hua can finally be sure now that Shi Guangyuan's previous speculation was indeed correct.

He couldn't help exclaiming: "Someone is setting fire to the mountain, Guan Junhou is in trouble!"

Liao Hua was so anxious that his face turned red, and he immediately ordered loudly that the whole army marched towards the direction of the fire at full speed.In his heart, he was praying to heaven at the same time, Guan Junhou must not have any accidents, otherwise their army of tens of thousands of people would not know what to do next!

When Liao Hua's men arrived at the outskirts of the mountain, the sky became darker.But on the contrary, the light in the valley several miles ahead seems to be more obvious.

Liao Hua immediately ordered that all the troops march towards the valley.But he was so anxious that he forgot that since the enemy was using fire in the valley, how could he be unprepared for the other troops who came to meet Guan Yu?

Suddenly, a burst of drums as dense as firecrackers resounded through the dusk.Two Wu armies, each with 4000 men, suddenly rushed out from the left and right sides of Liao Hua's army with a corner.

These two armies were led by Zhou Tai and Zhu Huan. Among them, there was another general in Zhou Tai's army who was an old acquaintance of Liu Chan: Sun Huan.Another old acquaintance of Liu Chan, Zhu Yi, Zhu Huan's son, also went to war with his father, and is now in Zhu Yi's army.

Zhou Tai and Zhu Huan had long been ordered by Lu Meng to lie in ambush outside the mountain.Their army had two missions: one, to become the second line of defense to prevent Guan Yu from successfully breaking through;

Therefore, when they saw Liao Hua's army approaching the mountain, they beat the drums at the same time.The two armies immediately attacked aggressively.

Liao Hua's army was unprepared, and the front line of troops suddenly became chaotic.

Liao Hua was very anxious, and shouted an order: "Array, everyone, hurry up! The troops in the front line up quickly, don't panic!"

But even though Liao Hua yelled hoarsely, the effect was not very great, especially the front troops were still so scattered!

The armies of Zhou Tai and Zhu Huan pierced into Liao Hua's army like two sharp knives, and quickly routed the front of Liao Hua's army.

Liao Hua saw that his army had become like this, and Guan Junhou was in danger again, so what should he do?He couldn't help feeling extremely regretful in his heart, how could he forget the advice given by Military Master Shi when he was leaving.

Therefore, Liao Hua put his heart on hold, if something happened to Guan Junhou today, he would follow him too!Liao Hua decided to fight the enemy to the death.

Liao Hua yelled: "The guards follow me!" He raised the spear in his hand and led the [-] guards to charge up.

But even so, Liao Hua was unable to stop the army's defeat after all.Soon, Liao Hua was targeted by Zhou Tai.

After the two fought for [-] rounds, Liao Hua was naturally no match, as three wounds had already appeared on his body.In the next ten rounds, Liao Hua would definitely die in Zhou Tai's hands!
Seeing this, Liao Hua's chief guard stopped Zhou Tai for Liao Hua with a shout, and shouted: "General Liao, the situation is critical now, you retreat quickly, this subordinate officer will block you for you!"

But now that Liao Hua even wanted to die, how could he listen to the chief guard's words?He immediately led his troops to fight again.

In the end, Liao Hua was held hostage by several guards and forced out of the battle circle.The more than 1000 horsemen in the rear of the army immediately turned around and followed Liao Hua and others to run wildly towards the way they came.

At this time, on the opposite side of Zhou Tai, there was a sound of a bowstring suddenly, and a white feathered arrow shot through the back of Liao Hua's guard.The chief guard let out a miserable cry, and after spitting out a mouthful of blood, he fell off his horse and died.
