Chapter 561: Breeze Ferry

Hebei, Pingyuan County, Gaotang City.

Guan Yu led nearly a hundred relatives to stand on the earthen mountain outside the city, observing the military situation in Gaotang City. This is a city that Guan Yu is very familiar with. In the past, he and his elder brother Liu Bei and his third brother Zhang Fei stationed troops here for many days. Now he is leading the army again, and the city is still the same. Zhang Fei's voice, appearance and smile are just in front of him, but the man is already in Jiuquan.

"Report! The reinforcements from the Hebei Army Brigade are only fifty miles away from Gaotang City!" A scout rushed over with a slightly anxious expression.

"Well" Guan Yu's eyes suddenly appeared. It was just three days after his army besieged Gaotang, Yuan Shang's reinforcements arrived, and they came so quickly! Could it be that the internal fight between him and Yuan Tan had ended?

With a beautiful turn, Guan Yu was already riding on the mount. He waved his hand and said loudly: "Transfer our military orders and the central army gathers! Repel the Hebei army coming to aid first!"

On the top of Gaotang City, the Gaotang County Magistrate and the County Magistrate put on a pergola in their forehand and looked into the distance. From the anxious expressions of the two, they could see the uneasiness in their hearts.

"Sir! Smoke and dust are rolling in the distance. I guess reinforcements have arrived!" The county magistrate suddenly pointed his hand at the east and shouted excitedly.

The county magistrate was older and his eyesight was not very good. He heard this and quickly looked at it. He was not right. The Hebei army was wearing bronze armor, and he saw a faint yellow light flashing in the distance. He must have been here to rescue Gaotang!

The Gaotang County Magistrate Fang Zi breathed a sigh of relief. The reinforcements arrived so soon. Gaotang City was saved, and his own wealth and life were saved! Immediately afterwards, he saw Guan Yu leading a group of men to the place where the dust rose. Seeing his march and formation, he must be the elite of Guan Yu's army. The county magistrate's heart couldn't help but raise his heart again, looking at the fierce appearance of Guan Yu's army. If the reinforcements were defeated, Gaotang City would be in danger!

The county magistrate was watching the battle with a nervous heart. A fast horse rushed into the north gate that Guan Yu's army had not been besieged. The knights immediately climbed up the city wall and submitted a secret letter to the Gaotang County Magistrate. The county magistrate hurriedly opened it, and his face, which was originally in a shady and unstable face, suddenly dissipated. He handed the secret letter to the county magistrate and laughed: "Master Shen is indeed Gao! I should obey such a clever plan!"

Three days later, when Shen Pei's figure appeared in Gaotang City, Guan Yu's troops had retreated. Gaotang County Magistrate respectfully welcomed Shen Pei into the county yamen and said with admiration: "After the order of Lord Shen, in the dark night, the humble official sent someone to welcome another reinforcement army quietly into the city. The next day, the four gates were opened. The armored soldiers were hidden in the streets and alleys. After Guan Yu repelled the reinforcements of other troops the day before yesterday, he saw this scene. At first, he was shocked and did not dare to use troops. Later, he could not help but send 3,000 soldiers into the city. It was cut off by our army and completely wiped out the city gate! Then our army opened the city gate again. Guan Yu was furious but did not dare to attack again! Our army was greatly boosted. Yesterday, Lord Shen led a heavy army to help, and Guan Yu had to retreat obediently! Our army took advantage of the victory to pursue and seized a lot of baggage!"

Shen Pei was arrogant and liked others to flatter him the most. The words of the Gaotang County Magistrate made him radiant and nodded frequently: "This time, the reinforcements attacked from multiple sources. In the end, the county magistrate repelled the Guan Yu bandit army. The county magistrate defended Gaotang to the death. I made great contributions in the middle. I should report to my lord. Reward for me on my merits!"

The county magistrate was overjoyed when he heard this, and his smile was filled with smiles on his face, "Thank you, Lord Shen, for your respect! I am willing to do whatever you want! However... Guan Yu's troops have lost a lot of troops and marched for a long distance again. Most of the baggage was seized by our army. If there are elite troops chasing them, they will definitely be severely damaged by the enemy!"

Shen Pei sneered and said, "You don't need to wait for a reminder for this matter, I have made arrangements!"

Qingfeng Ferry is the closest ferry to the south bank of the Yellow River in Gaotang. After Guan Yu's army crossed the river, he left his general Du Yuan to lead a thousand troops here to garrison, thinking that it was a way out.

After being lured into the city by the Gaotang County Magistrate and losing 3,000 troops, facing more and more Hebei reinforcements, Guan Yu was depressed and judged the situation, but had to retreat, leaving a large amount of food and supplies captured by the Gaotang garrison.

From the very beginning, Guan Yu was amazed at the speed of the Hebei army's aid. He did not expect that the Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang brothers would fight each other endlessly without foreign enemies invading. Once foreign enemies invade and violate the common interests of the two of them, the two would quickly unite and fight against foreign enemies together.

Resisting foreign powers and stabilizing the country is sometimes a wonderful combination.

Guan Yu was extremely powerful and loyal to Liu Bei. What he lacked was his military strategy. Although he studied hard in the later period, he had only read a few books, such as "Spring and Autumn Annals". In this regard, he was not as good as Zhang Fei, and was even more difficult to deal with when facing a first-class strategist like Shen Pei.

Just as Guan Yu led his troops to retreat to Qingfeng Ferry, he suddenly heard a cannon sound, and a group of people came from the east, leading the general, jumped into the horse with a spear, and shouted: "Don't leave with a red face! Ma Yan is here!"

Guan Yu was about to strike, and another cannon sound was heard. A group of people came from the west, and a big character "Zhang" was written on the flag. Guan Yu knew this person, who was not Zhang Yan, a general of Yuan Shang?

A tall personal soldier flashed behind Zhang Yan, raised a huge head with his long spear and shouted loudly: "The traitor Du Yuan has been killed! Are you not surrendering quickly?"

The flames of anger in Guan Yu's eyes ignited, and his general Du Yuan followed him all the way, loyal and loyal. Unexpectedly, he was killed by Zhang Yan here. If this revenge is not a gentleman!

Guan Yu, who was full of blood, immediately ordered to divide his troops with his general Zhou Cang to meet the enemy. He slapped his horse and waved his sword, and rushed straight to Zhang Yan, hoping to avenge Du Yuan.

Ma Yan and Zhang Yan's troops were all elite soldiers who were left behind in Yecheng. They did not lose their morale in the Guandu Battle, so they naturally did not show weakness. They rushed forward with shouts. Just as the two armies were in a difficult situation, they heard a cannon sound, and another group of people came out from behind Guan Yu's army. The leader slapped the horse and shot into the battle group, shouting: "Shen Rong is here! Guan Yu's dog thief came quickly to die!

Guan Yu was brave and his Qinglong Yanyue Blade was extremely sharp. Wherever the blade passed, no matter whether it was a person or a horse, it was cut into two halves. However, the Hebei army here exceeded Guan Yu's troops in both force and combat power. Although Guan Yu rode his horse and fought in the battle group, nearly a hundred Hebei soldiers fell in front of his horse, he was sad to find that there were more and more Hebei soldiers besieging him, while his own troops were fewer and fewer!

Two hours later, all the veterans of Guan Yu's troops were killed and injured, while the newly recruited soldiers fled in scattered and completely collapsed!

The war horse under his crotch was already exhausted, and Guan Yu killed nearly a hundred more people in the field! Guan Yu was finally exhausted from killing! The Qinglong Yanyue Sword had already rolled up, while Guan Yu's arms were getting heavier and heavier and his pace became slower and slower. The force at the beginning was hard to recover!

Shen Rong, Ma Yan, and Zhang Yi were not Guan Yu's opponents. They also hid behind many strong soldiers and used their lives to consume Guan Yu's physical strength. When Guan Yu's physical strength was exhausted, they used a fatal blow!

Finally, the three of them joined forces to attack! A knife and two guns pierced into Guan Yu's body, and Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword was no longer able to lift it!

Before Guan Yu's tall body fell down, he turned his head and stared deeply at the south bank of the Yellow River... (..)
