Following the above, Guan Yu laid out a plan to counterattack Jingzhou, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Wang Fu and others each took orders to go, and Guan Yu led the remaining 5,000 elites, disguised and easy to dress, and pretty to march to Nan County.
Liao Hua, after receiving Guan Yu's general order, set off in a hurry. Worried that Guan Yu's surprise attack would be discovered by the enemy, Liao Hua led his troops to march a hundred miles. After several days of conquest, the Jingzhou soldiers were already sleepy and tired. Liao Hua marched like this, and complaints arose in the army. But thinking that I can return to my hometown faster, I can barely endure it. Unexpectedly, when the troops marched to the south of the city and there were still tens of miles away, they suddenly encountered the troops of Eastern Wu.
Looking at it from a distance, the banner on the opposite side was marked with a big "Pan" character, and Liao Hua was already clear, and the opposite was indeed Pan Zhang. It seemed that Eastern Wu had already made preparations, or had already made up its mind to eat Guan Yu's Jingzhou Legion. That being the case, we can only "meet the brave in a narrow way to win." It turned out that Lü Meng's men had already discovered Liao Hua's whereabouts, and although Wang Fu was still pretending to contact Lü Meng, he had already been discovered. So he sent Pan Zhang to wait for work and meet Liao Hua.
"Doesn't General Liao know that my Eastern Wu army has spread all over Jingzhou?" Why did you come to seek death? "Pan Zhang's toes are high and arrogant.
Liao Hua, who was already angry, was even more angry after hearing that Pan Zhang was so arrogant. "Pan Zhang'er, take your life!" Liao Hua wielded a large knife and rushed to Pan Zhang.
Pan Zhang did not show weakness, and also wielded his sword to meet the battle. The two of you come and go, and in the blink of an eye, there have been 50 rounds of battle, but there is no difference between victory and defeat. Liao Hua's heart was anxious, and his sword technique was even more manic. Pan Zhang was also a fierce general of Eastern Wu, and his martial arts were not under Liao Hua. However, seeing Liao Hua so desperately, he was actually timid, waved his whip and clapped his horse, and hurriedly retreated.
Seeing that Pan Zhang was invincible, Liao Hua shouted, "Kill with me!" Liao Hua's generals all bravely competed for the lead and rushed to kill the Wu army. After Pan Zhang's defeat, the Wu army threw away their armor and fled after a little resistance. Liao Hua did not suspect any tricks and was bent on capturing Pan Zhang. The Jingzhou army followed Liao Hua to chase Pan Zhang for ten miles, but suddenly heard a loud bang, a large number of Wu troops came from left and right, and Pan Zhang's troops also returned to fight.
When he fixed his eyes, Liao Hua found that the left road army was Zhu Ran, and the right road army was Ma Zhong, neither of which was a famous general of the Wu army. Seeing that Lü Meng despised himself so much, Liao Hua was furious in his heart and decided to die with Wu Jun. "Today's events, there is death and no life, but I want to repay the general one or two." Liao Hua shouted at the soldiers: "Our homeland has been occupied by villains, and all our wives, children, and children have been arrested, so if we don't fight hard at this time, will we sit and watch our relatives being slaughtered?" It's the good guys who charge with me! ”
The Wu army and the Jingzhou army fought together and became a mess, and Liao Hua did not care about life and death in the melee, but only cared about desperately fighting bloody battles, as if he had two lives. When the two armies fought for a long time, the Jingzhou soldiers were eager to save the people back home, regardless of life and death, and the vietnam war became more and more courageous. Although the Wu army was numerous and powerful, Xiao Yong was far inferior to the Jingzhou soldiers. In a big battle, Ma Zhong was actually hacked to death by a random knife, but Liao Hua was also hit by several arrows, and his body was covered with blood.
After Lü Meng learned that Pan Zhang and others could not win, he was furious and personally raised 5,000 troops to help the battle. This is a wave of fresh forces, and their presence has directly reversed the situation on the battlefield. The Jingzhou army was brave again, but at this time it was outnumbered and retreated. Liao Hua saw that the surprise attack could not be achieved, but instead lost his troops, so he decided to kill himself to thank Guan Yu. Fortunately, the guards next to him hurriedly stopped Liao Hua and reminded Guan Yu that he had said, "If you lose the battle, retreat to Maicheng." It seems that Guan Yu had already expected it, and did not expect Liao Hua's surprise attack to succeed. In desperation, Liao Hua had to retreat in the direction of Maicheng.
Seeing Ma Zhong's death in battle, how could Pan Zhang tolerate Liao Hua's whole body retreating. So he volunteered to pursue Liao Hua and avenge Ma Zhong. Although Liao Hua had been defeated, Guan Yu must have a backhand. "Go after and kill Liao Hua, remember to act carefully, and never get caught in Guan Yu's ambush!"
After hastily agreeing to Lü Meng, Pan Zhang hurriedly led 5,000 soldiers and horses to pursue Liao Hua. After dispatching Pan Zhang, Lü Meng was always worried in his heart. Guan Yu's elite soldiers are really quite a lot, and Pan Zhang's 5,000 soldiers and horses may be difficult to win. Therefore, Xu Sheng and Zhu Ran were sent to lead 5,000 elite strategies to pan Zhang, and he himself sat in Jingzhou and planned.
In order to capture Jingzhou, Eastern Wu dispatched an army of 50,000. Lu Xun had already led an army of 10,000 to block the Yizhou rescue channel, and had just sent 15,000 soldiers and horses to pursue Liao Hua, and 5,000 soldiers and horses went to Linfengzuo to ambush, leaving 20,000 soldiers and horses. It's time to think about where Guan Yu might be. "I heard that thousands of people went to Shangyong, and I don't know if there is Guan Yu inside." If Guan Yu was allowed to escape, it would be a big problem for his confidants. Lü Meng hesitated in his heart, thinking bitterly in the big tent, "But with Guan Yu's personality, it is absolutely impossible to give up to Jingzhou." It seems that Guan Yu will still come straight to Jingzhou. ”
"The newspaper ... big...... big...... Big deal! The sentry gasped and headed straight for the camp.
"What a panic, disturb the adults!" Lü Meng's guards outside the tent reprimanded the sentry.
"Guan Yu's tens of thousands of troops suddenly appeared 10 miles outside Jingzhou City, and they were already about to kill Jingzhou!"
"What?" Lü Meng in the tent couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this news, "Sure enough, he came to Jingzhou, and it came so fast!" ”
In order to appease the people, Lü Meng's army only left thousands of soldiers to maintain law and order in the city, and the rest of the main force was stationed in three places, one way north of the city, the main general Cheng Pu, there were 5,000 people; all the way to the west of the city, for Lü Meng's army personally stationed, there were 10,000 people; and there was also a road south of the city, led by Sun Huan, only 3,000 people. The three-way soldiers and horses formed a siege of Jingzhou, and obviously did not worry about the Jingzhou people going against the sky.
Guan Yu appeared in the east of the city that no one had thought of. Since the eastward direction was the territory of Eastern Wu, Lü Meng did not expect that Guan Yu would go around to the east to attack Jingzhou. In a hurry, the main army led by himself was the farthest away from Guan Yu, and Cheng Pu's 5,000 soldiers and horses and Sun Huan's 3,000 men were afraid that it would be difficult to defeat Guan Yu. Guan Yu suddenly appeared in the east of Jingzhou City, like a divine soldier descending from heaven, and the soldiers and civilians who had surrendered in Jingzhou learned the news and turned against each other, echoing Guan Yu. Not long after, the seongdong shou was wrapped up in Guan Yu's old department and Kaesong surrendered to Guan Yu. This appearance was completely unexpected by Lü Meng, and he actually lost the opportunity.
However, Guan Yu was only 5,000 soldiers and horses, Lü Meng's number occupied an absolute advantage, and it was not yet known who killed the deer in Jingzhou, seeing that a life-and-death battle would be staged in Nanjun City.
