Chapter 189 Accidental Connection

Chengxiang City.

Guan Yu stood at the head of the city with a knife, silently staring at the heavy Changsha barracks outside the city. His heavy jujube-like face surged with fatigue and gloom that he had never had before.

In the city behind him, the voices were still noisy. This small city with only 5,000 people fell into panic because of the sudden arrival of the war.

Guan Yu looked up. The cloud was very low, as if it was about to fall and press on top of his head. In the oblique front, a few rays of sunsets passed through the thick cloud shells of the city wall, adding a few bloody red lines to the gray sky.

Guan Yu never thought that after the defeat of Xuzhou in that year, after more than ten years, he once again fell into such a desperate situation of no food and fodder and no reinforcements outside.

The beautiful prince, who made the heroes of the world creepy, is now trapped in such an inconspicuous small city.

In a trance, Guan Yu had an illusion that God deliberately wanted to play a trick on him. From north to south, he made a big circle, as if his life had returned to the starting point.

The starting point of despair.

At the moment of thought, suddenly, the Changsha army that forced the city to move. Dozens of riders rushed out of the gate and went straight to the north gate of Chengxiang.

Guan Yu's mind was restrained. The handle of the knife hit the ground and said in a low voice, "Ready to respond to the enemy."

If in the past, in the face of dozens of enemies, Guan Yu may not even move his eyebrows, but now, he is so poor that he has only 500 soldiers and horses in his hand. After being defeated by Liu Feng again and again, he is like a bird of shock and dares to relax.

One hundred remnants of the North Gate immediately cheered up and were listed behind the female wall to prepare for the enemy.

The dozens of cavalrymen approached like a whirlwind, but when they approached more than a hundred steps in front of the city, they suddenly strangled the war horse, unloaded the crossbow machine from their back, and aimed at Chengxiang City.

Dozens of crossbow machines can cause what kind of killing? What is Liu Feng's intention?

When Guan Yu was suspicious, the enemy crossbow in front of the city had been launched, and dozens of cold lights drew a graceful arc and went straight to the head of the city.

The soldiers were waiting to bow their heads to avoid, but they soon found that the enemy's crossbows did not come at them, but crossed the city wall and flew directly into the Chengxiang City.

After the first round of shooting, the enemy riders in front of the city did not stop shooting all the crossbows in the arrow pot in one breath. However, these crossbowmen were like recruits who had never been trained. Hundreds of crossbows did not hit the target, and all of them passed over the head of Guan Yu's soldiers at the head of the city and fell into the city without a track.

In the face of such a "rookie" enemy, Guan Yu's soldiers at the head of the city suddenly relaxed, and some people even pointed to the enemy and laughed at the opponent's poor arrows.

Guan Yu's eyebrows were slightly condensed. He knew very well that Liu Feng was definitely not that simple. He would not be bored enough to send a group of novices to the city to make him happy.

In a moment, Zhao Lei hurried up from the city and held an arrow wrapped in white silk in his hand with both hands. "Lord, this is the arrow that the enemy shot into the city just now."

It turns out that there is a letter attached to the arrow.

Guan Yu took over the arrow and opened the attached silk book. A jujube-red face became purple-red and difficult to distinguish. He only felt that the blood in his chest rolled, and he almost sprayed blood from his chest.

It turns out that the letter written on the arrow is a letter that incites the people of the township to make trouble. The letter can be said to be benefactor and powerful.

Liu Feng threatened in the letter that if the people in the city dared to use money and grain to Guan Yu's soldiers and horses, after the city was broken, the men, women and children of the whole city would be slaughtered. On the contrary, if the people in the city abandon the secret and take the initiative to capture Guan Yu to surrender, the soldiers and civilians of the city will be rewarded.

This is really a vicious move!

Guan Yu tore the silk book to pieces. In anger, he only felt dizzy, and there were signs of standing unsteady when his body shook.

Zhao Lei was shocked and wanted to help, but he remembered the lesson of the last time. He could only ask anxiously, "General, you should calm down your anger. Your health is important."

Guan Yu suppressed the anger in his chest, closed his eyes and froze for a long time, and the rolling qi and blood calmed down slightly.

Seeing that Guan Yu's expression improved slightly, Zhao Lei carefully said, "General, now the situation in Jingzhou is out of control. According to the opinion of the last general, if we take advantage of the thief army to just besiege the city, let's take the opportunity to break into Shu tonight and make plans after joining forces with the main guild."

Guan Yu originally planned to enter Shu, and staying in Chengxiang was just a stopgap measure, but after experiencing the current events, he suddenly changed his mind.

Looking coldly at the enemy horse who fled outside the city, Guan Yu gritted his teeth and scolded, "How can it be so easy for Liu Feng, a beast, to want my Guan Yu's head? I just want to spend it with him here to see what he can do with me."

When Zhao Lei heard this, he was shocked and hurriedly said, "General, now we have lost everything in the southern county. We have no food and fodder inside and no reinforcements outside. How can we hold on to a small city? General, with all due respect, this is not the time to be angry.

"General Zuo is about to seize Yizhou. Once he hears that Jingzhou is in danger, he will definitely lead his army to help. In Yidu County, there are still three thousand elite soldiers stationed in Yidu County. When he hears that I am in trouble, he will definitely come to rescue me. As long as it is rooted here, it can contain Liu Feng and buy enough time for the reinforcements in Shuzhong.

This time, Guan Yu did not scold Zhao Lei for his offense, but patiently explained his intention.

Zhao Lei is still waiting to be persuaded. Guan Yu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to say more. Go and collect the book of demagogy of the enemy who shot into the city quickly, so as not to be confused by those people."

Zhao Lei sighed secretly and could only leave according to the order.

At this moment, in the central army account of the Changsha army outside the city, Liu Fengzheng talked and laughed with Pang Tong, who had just arrived at the front line.

"Sir, your move is really fierce. I think Guan Yu will last for a long time."

Almost without blood, he got the important land of Nanjun, and forced Guan Yu to such a point of exhaustion. Such a wonderful skill is enough to be famous in history. At this time, Liu Feng's words are also a little proud.

Pang Tong only smiled faintly and said, "Guan Yu is extraordinary. My strategy can only be the icing on the cake. How to go in the next few moves depends on Guan Yu's reaction."

Before the words fell, a personal soldier hurried in and quickly reported a 100,000 fire sent from Jiangling Chen.

Liu Feng took a look. His proud expression became extremely surprised in an instant.

"Sir, the situation is a little unexpected. Cao Ren from Xiangyang suddenly sent troops south, and the army is rushing to Jiangling City at night."

When Liu Feng said this news, even Pang Tong, who had always been light-hearted, was slightly shocked at this moment.

Pang Tong's previous judgment was that Cao Qian's main force was restrained by Sun Quan in Huainan, and Liu Bei's main force was fighting fiercely with Liu Zhang. Therefore, Liu Feng could attack Jingzhou with all his strength without external interference.

But Pang Tong ignored one point, that is, Cao Ren, who was in Xiangyang, would suddenly raise troops to attack Jiangling without Cao Qian's permission.

"I was negligent and forgot that Cao Ren had the power to make a decision without reporting. He went south this time to take advantage of the fire. This accident was really a little tricky."

Pang Tong paced in the tent, with his eyebrows slightly condensed, looking a little worried.

"Sir, Uncle Jiangling has only 3,000 soldiers in his hand, but Cao Ren has nearly 20,000 troops here. In this case, I think there is only one way to withdraw from the siege of his hometown and lead the army to immediately cross the river to reinforce Jiangling?"

Liu Feng finally got Jiangling. If Cao Ren picked it up like this, it would be a big loss. Compared with Guan Yu's life, Jiangling is obviously a hundred times more important.

Pang Tong pondered for a moment, but said, "Guan Yu is the first general in Liu Bei's hands. If he releases the tiger back to the mountain, it will be a big trouble in the future. Moreover, Ma Youchang is attacking Yidu. If Guan Yu escapes, joins Meng Da of Yidu, and defends this county, Liu Bei's army will go east in the future, and we will have no danger to defend, and the situation will only be more critical.

Pang Tong's opinion is already obvious that Guan Yu can't let go in any case.

"But our army has now exhausted its military mobilization. If we don't withdraw from the siege of the township, where will the soldiers and horses come to save Jiangling?" Liu Feng said with concern. He said

Pang Tong thought for a long time, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked slightly. He smiled and said, "Doesn't the general forget that there is another soldier in Jingzhou?"

.................. The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the river wind is gentle.

The battleship was full of sails by the wind, breaking through the wind and waves against the river.

In the bow of the boat, the red dress was like fire, and the ribbon of the skirt fluttered with the river breeze.

Sun Shangxiang held the sword in his hand and stood quietly in the bow of the boat. On top of his beautiful face, there were several stages surging.

Not far ahead is the boundary of Bachu. After Bachu, it is Liu Feng's territory. Although it is less than a month apart, Sun Shangxiang has never had such a strong feeling. He is eager to see him and return to him.

When the ship was on the road, not far ahead, a team of warships of Dongwu suddenly appeared. The Hengjiang waved away and blocked the way.

"Miss, it's our Dongwu patrol ship. It should want to check us. What should we do?" The female soldier behind her came forward and asked.

Sun Shangxiang said coldly, "Don't worry about them, just rush forward."

"No."

The warship continued to sprint. Nearward, the patrol ship of Eastern Wu issued a flag to slow them down, but the warship ignored it and still sailed quickly.

Seeing this, seven or eight patrol ships immediately changed their tactics, like wolves, close to the ship from all directions, and soon surrounded the warship.

"Listen to the opposite ship, immediately anchor and accept our boarding inspection, otherwise don't blame us for using force."

The warning was launched, and the crossbowman immediately aimed at seven or eight Dongwu ships.

Seeing the ups and downs, at the instruct of Sun Shangxiang, a female soldier shouted, "Miss Sun is here. How dare you be rude? Why don't you let him go quickly?"

This answer really surprised Wu Jun. The crossbowmen quickly put down the crossbow in their hands, for fear that they would get rid of their hands and offend Miss Sun, who was "famous".

However, the Wu ship did not leave here. Instead, one of the ships got closer and closer and went side by side with the ship.

On the bow of the ship, a general held his fist and shouted to Sun Shangxiang, "The last general Gan Ning, under the order of the governor of Lu, have been waiting for the young lady for a long time. Since the young lady has arrived, please move to Bachu with the last general."
