Chapter 33: Horse leather corpse (1)

The Nanying was fled in panic by the defeated Wei army, but there was nowhere to escape. The Huainan army and Wu army were so fast that they stepped out of the camp one step earlier. Most of the Wei army was entangled with the Huainan army and it was difficult to escape. The scattered soldiers and brave men were just like they were killed in front of the Huainan army. They sold their backs to the enemy on the battlefield, and they still hoped to survive? No one wanted to be the custodian. When they were fighting, they became the last one. Instead of escaping, they fought. They were fighting and died. They were not so cowardly, but you thought of others so much. The comrades behind them retreated, and the deaths of the dead were waiting alone to be slaughtered. They were really crying.

It is not necessarily better to turn around and run first. In addition to the dispersed Wei soldiers rushing behind him, there are also Wu soldiers. Seeing that victory is in sight, the Wu soldiers hope is right ahead, so they don’t bother to kill more Wei soldiers and just charge forward - they can survive as long as they rush through the southern camp. The Wei soldiers running to the flanks were better, but the Wei soldiers who turned their heads and ran back happened to be in the same place with the Wu soldiers. The Wu soldiers were red in their eyes, but the Wei soldiers were panicked. Poor that the Wei soldiers had just escaped from the wolf's mouth and entered the tiger's den, and were instantly submerged in the tide of the Wu army.

A truly experienced veteran knew that he would die, but he tried his best to move closer to Hu Fen's central army. The insignificance of individuals on the battlefield is not worth mentioning, and the only way to survive. Hu Fen did not lead the army to break through. The Huainan army's strength was nearly twice that of the Wei army, and the soldiers he could gather were only 10,000. Not only was the power weak, but he also had to face the assault from the Wu army from the rear. In this case, he wanted to break out of the siege and hope was slim.

So Hu Fen commanded the troops to slowly move towards the corner of the southern camp in line with the siege of the Huainan Army. The seemingly inconspicuous movements contained rich combat experience and wisdom. The distances of movement were not much, but they avoided the Wu people's charge route.

The people of Wu were not unaware of Hu Fen's intention to avoid the important things, but they had to join the Huainan army first. At the same time when the Wei army collapsed, two troops appeared behind the Wu army, which were Chen Qian and Lufan's Wei cavalry. Chen Qian came by detour, while Lufan killed the Huainan army that blocked the road. Both armies arrived one step late at the same time. Chen Qian saw the tragic appearance of the southern camp, and was in a grief and angry heart. The two cavalry teams joined together to rush to the Wu army.

In front of him were the defeated Wei people, and behind him were the killing stars. The Wu army had no intention of fighting and rushed forward with a strong force. The Wei cavalry followed closely behind and rushed into the formation. The Huainan Army, Wu Army, and Wei Army were mixed together and there was another melee.

Jiao Yi held back his energy and wanted to capture Hu Fen to avenge his friend Jiang Ban. Seeing that the Wu people rushed in with Wei cavalry and ruined the good situation, he was also furious. At this time, the messenger from behind came to the city. Jiao Yi sighed when he heard the news, and had to restrain the troops to resist the Wei cavalry and protect the Wu army gradually retreated.

The change came from fierce battles outside the East City. Half of the Huainan army brought out by Zhuge Dan was actually young and strong. After killing Le Lin, Zhuge Dan ordered that all the people who could be brought to Shouchun be brought to Shouchun City. In addition to enhancing his own strength, it is more important to weaken the Wei army that came to conquer. Sima Zhao led the total number of troops and horses in various states, consumed countless money and grain every day, and added various military supplies to huge expenses. These require continuous transportation to the front line, saying that it was more than 200,000 troops, but the actual use of military civilians even exceeded 500,000. The entire Huainan implemented the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the fields. Sima Zhao's army could not receive any supplements in terms of materials or manpower after entering the Huainan boundary.

Zhuge Dan in the city had enough manpower to enrich the army, and his combat power was not worth mentioning, but it could be compensated by the number of people. The Wu army attacked from the Nanying, and Jiao Yi led the main force in the city to attack the Nanying of the Wei army from the front. In this way, the Nanying could not withstand the attack from both sides and would inevitably retreat. Zhuge Dan bluffed and blocked Wang Ji's army, and as long as he delayed the Wu army and Jiao Yi's troops to come to rescue, it would be successful. There were still tens of thousands of elite troops in Huainan City, so he would wait for the general attack to be launched at this time. Even if Sima Zhao's army came, he had the ability to compete - the Nanying was defeated first, and the Wei army was even at a disadvantage in terms of military strength.

The man's plan is not as good as the heaven's plan. The Wu army had only one thousand people, Wen Qin, and then acted according to the plan. They finally broke through the Nanying, but wasted a lot of time. Zhuge Dan used all his strength, and the Huainan army even retreated to Shouchun City without seeing the reinforcements from Nancheng. On the contrary, they waited for Sima Zhao's army. If Zhu Cheng had not prepared and all the elite troops were able to slow down the Wei army's offensive, the Huainan army would have to throw at least 20,000 to 30,000 corpses outside the city. Once the Huainan army in the East City retreated, the Nancheng also responded to the Huainan army. Of course, there would not be much left. The only one left on the battlefield was the entire Wu army.

The guards brought Guan Yi's mount. Guan Yi's war horse was a good horse in Dayuan, especially the red rabbit horse of his ancestor Guan Gong. Everyone said they were strange when they saw it. Liu Chan had been practicing martial arts for a while and was not surprised. In the eyes of everyone, Guan Yi led the war horse and lowered his head and put it on his face with the love horse. The horse seemed to be very gentle to Guan Yi as human.

Guan Yi rolled over the horse with a longbow on his back, and rode his horse past the lime powder and stopped at the starting line. Liu Chan also wanted to see the riding and shooting skills of the generals of this era. The past training was not as challenging as it is today. Everyone in the field was looking forward to it, especially the nine royal families participating in the competition, looking forward to getting some experience from Guan Yi.

Seeing everyone's emotions and enthusiasm, Liu Chan nodded with satisfaction and signaled that he could start the competition. Su Wei swung his arm and smelled the drum sound, and at the same time the eunuch beside him lit a long incense to mark the time.

Guan Yi shouted loudly when he heard the drum sound, and rode his horse and the four hooves of the war horse under his crotch were extremely fast. Seeing that the obstacle ahead was approaching, Guan Yi shouted violently, and the people and horses were united and jumped high in the air. But seeing that the horse's hooves landed on the ground still moving forward, everyone applauded secretly, but Liu Chan slapped the table and shouted loudly: "Okay!"

Seeing that His Majesty had opened his head, the ministers followed him and agreed to avoid feeling uncomfortable. At this time, Guan Yi had already driven his horse over several obstacles and ran for half a circle. There were endless shouts of cheers outside the field, but Guan Yi turned a deaf ear. In front of him was the last obstacle. Guan Yi focused his breath and stared at the target. The target moved left and right under the pull of the guard. The target was quite fast. The love horse under his crotch jumped as usual. When he reached the highest point, Guan Yi clamped the war horse with both legs and stretched out his hand to draw the bow, took the arrow, opened the bow, and took the arrow, and put the arrow in one go. As soon as the front hooves of the war horse touched the ground, everyone heard the sound of the bowstring, and an arrow hit the red heart of the target! At this time, Guan Yi also reached the end.

Liu Chan and other ministers were stunned. Who knew that they would recover first and shout, "Oh, everyone reacted and cheered together. Guan Yi got off the horse and came to Liu Chan's body and knelt down and said, "I'm glad that I won't be humiliated!"

Seeing Guan Yi's wonderful performance, Liu Chan's body trembled slightly, and he stood up and helped Guan Yi up and said, "Why do I worry about the uncertainty of the world if I have this tiger general!"

Guan Yi's grandfather Guan Yu was a tiger general who was famous in China. At that time, everyone in the world believed that only Guan Yu was the general in Shu. When Guan Yu was destroyed, no one was available in Shu. This shows how people admired Guan Yu at that time. Unfortunately, Guan Yu was defeated and died, and the Guan family was also seriously injured. The Guan Xing generation died early again, and it was the same when it was passed on to Guan Tong. In desperation, it was passed on to Guan Yi. Guan Yi was Guan Xing's concubine son. If Guan Tong had not died early, it would not be Guan Yi's turn to take on this family business.

The ministers only thought that Yu Yin of the family protected Guan Yi and became the high position of General Hu Ben. Today, they changed a little. Liu Chan was even more overjoyed. Even the descendants of the Guan family were like this, and the descendants of other famous generals in Shu must be quite good. After today, they must summon them all and witness them one by one. Such a tiger general is exactly what Shu needs at present, and the more the more the better. Liu Chan was in a good mood and poured a glass of wine and gave it to Guan Yi. Even the founding fathers had never had such honor. Guan Yi was extremely excited and drank it all in one drink. The ministers were sighing at this time. It seemed that the future of Guan Yi was limitless.

Unexpectedly, when someone saw Liu Chan pouring wine for Guan Yi himself, he felt angry and shouted: "What's the difficulty of running around the circle and shooting arrows? How can Your Majesty favor one or the other!"

Liu Chan raised his eyes and looked at him. The speaker was eight feet tall, with leopard eyes and beards, and large arms and round waists. Zhang Zun, the Marquis of the Northern Army who had just taken office! "What can you do?" Liu Chan felt a little unhappy when he saw Zhang Zun disturbing the atmosphere, but Zhang Shao introduced that his nephew had the courage to be inappropriate, so it would be better to let Zhang Zun come out. Therefore, he added: "You can talk about the competition later!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Zun turned around and prepared, ignoring everyone's eyes. Guan Yi was angry when he saw Zhang Zun's rude words. Under his emotions, his red face faintly shone with red light.

A moment later, Zhang Zun led his mount and turned on the horse and was ready. Most of the mounts of this era were not high, and the unit of measurement was more than one meter in later generations. Zhang Zun was very gigantic and rode his horse. The drum sounded again and Zhang Zun rode his horse, and his speed was not as fast as Guan Yi. In the blink of an eye, the finish line was about to reach the end point. Before he reached the last obstacle, Zhang Zun had already bent his bow and put on the arrow. Everyone was surprised to see this. At this time, it was thirty feet away from the target. Is it necessary to shoot arrows at such a distance? Zhang Zun set off his bow and flew out like a meteor rushing to the moon. The arrow was extremely powerful, and after entering the bull's eye, the arrow still shook continuously. There were screams in the field, and everyone applauded Zhang Zun. Liu Chan was also happy. In one day, he got two tiger generals.

Seeing everyone applauding, Zhang Zun turned over and got off the horse and wanted to pay homage to Your Majesty. Guan Yi was low-key and calm. Today, Shengen was favored by this big black man. How could the Guan family face be? No literature is the first, no martial arts are second. Guan Yi stopped Zhang Zun and said, "It's just that. Do you dare to compete with me for weapons?" Zhang Zun was born with divine power and was as addicted to martial arts as his life, and replied casually: "Why don't you dare!"

The two of them had no choice but to worry about the presence of His Majesty and all the ministers, and each took out their weapons to fight. Seeing this, Liu Chan wanted to stop them, but he also wanted to see the two of them. The scenes that were only available in movies and TV in later generations were really seen today. Several royal families were planning how to deal with the competition. Although the two of them had delayed the competition, everyone didn't care.
