Chapter 2081 Shocked
"Guan Yu, don't talk too much. If you have the ability, you will attack. I'll wait here!"
Huang Zhong pointed at Guan Yu with a big knife and shouted.
"The crossbowman suppresses it and goes on the wing!"
Seeing that Huang Zhong did not surrender, Guan Yu waved his hand and ordered, and the soldiers holding crossbows behind him lined up, shooting and suppressing each other in three rows, and then divided into three hundred people to detour from the left Shulin. The terrain was relatively flat and covered by the woods, which happened to go around the rear.
"General Huang, the enemy wants to get around from the side, I will take people to block the attack!"
When Ergouzi saw that the enemy wanted to kill from the side, he immediately took the people to resist.
Huang Zhong did not reply, but just stared at Guan Yu at the foot of the mountain. Apart from the crossbowman and the detoured enemy, there were more than 400 people behind Guan Yu who did not move.
Guan Yu squinted his eyes and looked at the enemies on the mountain. He was even more confused. He had now completely seen the face of the enemies. They were all old-fashioned braids in Jingzhou. The enemies on the mountain were even more old, and many of them were gray-haired. This was clearly two thousand old soldiers.
"Come the array and kill with me!"
Guan Yu observed for a long time but did not find any other enemies on the mountain. Then he took the sword and rushed away.
"Twist the stones, throw the wood!"
Huang Zhong directly ordered that the lethality of this terrain stone and wood is limited. After all, the slope and height are not enough, so bows, crossbows and arrows are the best things. Unfortunately, Han Xuan did not give it at all this time. He only had a bow and a pot of arrows he brought with him.
Huang Zhong held a hard bow in his hand, and the arrows in his hand were like locusts. Five arrows were shot out in a row, and the five enemies who rushed to the front were shot on the spot. Huang Zhong did not use the arrows to shoot Guan Yu. The distance was too far, so the arrows could not threaten Guan Yu at all.
"Clash, those who kill Huang Zhong will reward hundreds of gold!"
When Guan Yu saw that the soldiers were afraid and the impact speed slowed down, he shouted. He had seen through Huang Zhong's reality and was full of old soldiers, with simple armor and no bows, crossbows and arrows.
"kill!"
With the heavy reward, the soldiers were very excited. A hundred gold coins were enough for them to have a wealth of life, and this hundred gold coins only required a white-haired veteran, which was simply a gift of money.
The crossbowmen suppressed the old soldiers on the steep slope. They had no way to show their heads. Only Huang Zhong stood on the steep slope and shot.
There was nothing unusual on Huang Zhong's face, and the hard bow in his hand continued to open rhythmically, and every arrow shot into the enemy who rushed to the front.
When Huang Zhong reached out to the quiver again to get the arrow in the quiver, he suddenly grabbed a blank. Huang Zhong knew that he had used up his arrows.
"kill!"
Seeing that the enemy had already reached the sight, Huang Zhong did not hesitate and waved his sword to let the soldiers stand up and use a spear to block the enemy from the aftermath.
"Roar up!"
Guan Yu shouted loudly, this steep slope terrain must rush up directly, otherwise they will be defeated.
The shouts of killing instantly drown the battlefield. Guan Yu brought all the strong soldiers and new forces, and soon broke the steep slope, and the army alternately covered the steep slope.
"Huang Zhong, today is your death!"
Guan Yu rode a horse and leaped onto a steep slope, yelling.
"General Huang, I'll help you!"
Ergouzi had already cleared the enemy. Seeing that Huang Zhong's defense was wide open, he hurriedly led his troops back to the rescue.
Guan Yu slashed with a big sword and slashed straight at Huang Zhong, but Huang Zhong had already abandoned the bow and arrow and held the big sword to block it.
Guan Yu was riding a horse and Huang Zhong walked. When Huang Zhong fought, he was suppressed. The difference between infantry and cavalry was too great. Fortunately, Ergouzi returned to the rescue in time to stabilize the situation so that he would not be defeated.
"Give you another last chance, surrender and never die!"
Guan Yu looked at Huang Zhong coldly and said, "When Huang Zhong lost his war horse, he was obviously not his opponent, and the old soldiers under Huang Zhong were almost unable to resist it."
"If you want to fight, fight, why don't you talk so much!"
Huang Zhong waved his big knife to block Guan Yu's slash and replied with a serious expression.
Just as the battle was one-sided, a rapid sound of horse galloping sounded in the mountains, and then a whistleman came running in panic behind him.
"General Guan, an enemy is coming, cavalry, five thousand!"
The whistle rider ran and shouted.
"Your Majesty's reinforcements are here, kill the enemy for me!"
Before Guan Yu could react, Ergouzi reacted first and returned. The five thousand cavalrymen were obviously reinforcements from Yicheng. As long as they dragged the enemy down, the enemy that the reinforcements arrived in front of them would die.
"kill!"
Huang Zhong was also excited when he heard this. The situation was completely different when reinforcements arrived.
"withdraw!"
Guan Yu decisively ordered a retreat. The few soldiers and horses he brought this time were really surrounded and there were not even people to save them. Moreover, the enemy was a cavalry and the pursuit speed was fast. He might not be able to leave if he retreated a little slower.
"Next time I will win your head!"
Guan Yu forced Huang Zhong to retreat with one sword and pulled out his horse. Although he did not kill Huang Zhong today, he killed at least five or six hundred Huang Zhong in this battle, which was a small victory.
Ergouzi jumped onto the high slope and wanted to chase, but the soldiers behind him had long been slumped on the ground and had no strength to chase.
Huang Zhong also used his sword as a support. After several days of traveling, he fought again and again. He couldn't bear it. Looking at Ergouzi who wanted to chase on the high slope, his eyes were complicated. If he was ten years younger, he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
"General Pang!"
Ergouzi waved his hand and shouted when he saw Pang De bringing his troops.
"General Yang, General Huang, is it okay?"
Ma Liang and Li Zhi dare to come on a horse.
"Fortunately the army came in time. Ergouzi said with a smile.
"We met General Pang as soon as we walked out of the mountains."
Ma Liang pointed at Pang De and said to Ergouzi.
"I set off when I received the news, but it rained yesterday and the cavalry could not walk fast, otherwise it would have arrived in the morning."
Pang De explained that the heavy rain made the road muddy and the cavalry marching was severely hindered. If it weren't for this, he should have chased Guan Yu now.
"Thank you General Pang for helping you!"
Ergouzi clasped his fists at Pang De.
"If you have serious words, you are all military robes, so rescue is certain."
Pound shook his head and said.
“What are these?”
Pang De asked in confusion as he looked at Huang Zhong and the veterans with ragged armor.
"This is General Huang Zhong and Huang from Changsha County. Now Han Xuan has decided to surrender His Majesty and send General Huang to lead troops to help His Majesty."
Ergouzi introduced.
"That's right. Let the military doctors treat the injured soldiers and collect all the soldiers who died in battle."
Although Pang De was confused, he still didn't ask the reason. How strange the old soldiers in front of him looked at them? Han Xuan sent these people to support him?
"General Huang, let's go back to Yicheng first, and we will also go to Xiangyang to see Your Majesty!"
Ergouzi said to Huang Zhong that he would definitely not go to Xiangyang directly in this situation.
"Everyone listened to the general."
Huang Zhong had no objection since he had reached the enemy's territory, he could only obey the orders, but he saw that Pang De and others despise him. No matter who they were, they would despise him when they saw the soldiers he brought.
"I have sent someone to Xiangyang, and you should have your Majesty's will come back to Yicheng."
