Chapter 460: Three Heroes Defeat Lu Bu (2)
Although Taishi Ci called out that Lu Bu was not arrogant, he did not directly attack Lu Bu. He knew very well that Lu Bu was very skilled in martial arts, even if he joined forces with Guan Yu, he would not be able to defeat the other party in a short period of time. Therefore, the goal he chose was Gao Shun. According to his idea, as long as he joined forces with Zhang Fei, he could defeat Gao Shun in a maximum of twenty or thirty rounds. Once Gao Shun was defeated, Lu Bu would be unable to support himself.
Lu Bu was attracted by Taishi Ci's shouts and could not help but leave for a moment. As a result, he was almost hit by Guan Yu with a knife, which shocked him into a cold sweat. He hurriedly concentrated his energy and tried his best to deal with Guan Yu, so as not to be in danger again, and at the same time he was also prepared to deal with Taishi Ci.
Unexpectedly, the scene that happened next was completely beyond Lu Bu's accident. Taishi Ci rushed to the middle and turned around and joined forces with Zhang Fei to siege Gao Shun. Lu Bu naturally knew how Gao Shun's martial arts were, and he had some help from the past, but the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in Guan Yu's hand slashed over one by one, making him tired of dealing with it.
Gao Shun's martial arts skills were originally inferior to Zhang Fei. After dozens of rounds of confrontation, he was already at a disadvantage. While he was struggling to hold on, he suddenly saw Taishi Ci rushing in front of him and could only bite the bullet and fight.
Half a month ago, the troops led by Taishi Ci were defeated by Gao Shun's camp. At this moment, the enemy was extremely jealous when they met. The spear in his hand was quickly shot, killing Gao Shun so quickly that it was difficult to resist. Seeing that Gao Shun was already in a mess, Zhang Fei immediately stabbed him with a spear. Gao Shun had just raised his gun to hold the spear that Taishi Ci stabbed. Before he could withdraw, he saw the spear stab at him. He wanted to hide, but he was unable to do so. He watched the spear pierce into his shoulder.
Gao Shun shouted and almost fell off his horse. Fortunately, Zhang Fei's moves were already old and he was not picked off the horse. While Zhang Fei was pulling back the snake spear and preparing to stab again, Gao Shun endured the pain and drove the horse away.
Zhang Fei wanted to chase him, but was stopped by Taishi Ci: "Brother Yide, don't chase the enemy. Let's go and help Chief Yun deal with Lu Bu."
When Lu Bu saw Gao Shun retreating, he couldn't help but feel panicked. When he saw Zhang Fei and Taishi Ci and the other two coming towards him, he became even more panicked. He thought to himself: Gao Shun has been defeated, and he is not a match for Guan Zhang and Taishi Ci. If the situation is not good later, he will run towards a place where no one is. He is riding a Red Rabbit Horse, and the three of them will definitely not catch up with him.
Lu Bu fought with the three of them for more than twenty rounds, feeling a little overwhelmed. He was about to sway his halberd, but he ran away when he suddenly heard a neat step behind him. He turned his head and saw that it was the wounded Gao Shun who came up with the camp.
Still far away, Gao Shun shouted: "Don't be afraid of Wenhou, I'll help you!"
Seeing Gao Shun's camp approaching, Guan Yu quickly asked Zhang Fei and Taishi Ci to stop. He stared at the opposite side for a moment and unexpectedly found that although there were only a few hundred people in the camp, the momentum emitted was like thousands of troops. He did not dare to urge him. He quickly raised the Qinglong Yanyue Sword high and sent a signal to attack the troops arranged in the array behind. The Jizhou army, which had already been arranged, saw the signal from Guan Yu, immediately took the sword and gun and stepped forward.
When Lu Bu escaped back to the formation of the camp, he found that Gao Shun was not wounded. The blood flowing from his shoulders had soaked half of his armor. When Gao Shun saw Lu Bu back to the formation, the Jizhou army opposite also lined up and pressed over, and hurriedly said to Lu Bu: "Mr. Wen, you go back to the camp first, and leave it to someone to deal with it."
Lu Bu knew very well that if he didn't return to the camp, Gao Shun would never return to the camp, so he reminded him: "Be careful!" Then he turned his horse's head and headed towards the camp in the distance.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei urged their troops and rushed to the camp from all directions, trying to use the advantage of numbers to wipe them out in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, Gao Shun's martial arts skills were not as good as Guan Zhang and Taishi Ci. The number of troops led by him was only one tenth of that of the other party, but after being trapped in a heavy siege, he still maintained a strict formation and fought with the Jizhou army.
Although there are many troops in Jizhou, except for a few soldiers from Jizhou, most of them are the Yellow Turban Army recruited in Qingzhou. They followed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to conquer cities and land in Qingzhou, and established a lot of contributions, barely looking like a strong army. When they encountered the trapped camp, they could not gain any advantage.
After more than half an hour of fierce battle, the Jizhou army suffered thousands of casualties, but still could not break through the formation of the trap camp. However, the trap camp, which is good at fighting tough battles, had only a hundred casualties.
Seeing this, Taishici hurriedly said to Guan Yu: "Brother Yun, the soldiers in the camp have experienced many battles and are all worthy of one on the battlefield. If we continue to fight, even if we barely wipe them out, there will be no small casualties."
Guan Yu agreed with Taishi Ci's statement very much. He felt uncomfortable when he saw his soldiers who had made many great achievements falling down one after another in front of the camp. He knew that if he continued to fight like this, even if he barely won, he would probably have won a bad victory. He quickly issued an order to stop the attack.
Seeing that Guan Yu's troops stopped attacking, Gao Shun loudly issued a order to retreat. The soldiers in the camp raised their dead robes, and the wounded people on their backs retreated toward the camp in an orderly manner.
Zhang Fei didn't know why Guan Yu ordered the attack to stop, so he quickly rode his horse to Guan Yu and asked loudly: "Second brother, why should he stop the attack?"
"Yide," Guan Yu turned his head and said to Zhang Fei: "You didn't see that our troops were ten times more than them. After attacking for more than half an hour, no progress has been made."
"Second brother, our men have ten times more people than them." Zhang Fei said dissatisfiedly: "Even if they step on, they will all step on them to death."
"Don't underestimate the enemy," Guan Yu waved his head at Zhang Fei and said, "Although they don't have many troops, their combat power should not be underestimated. In the melee just now, we suffered thousands of casualties, but their casualties were only a hundred. If we continue to fight, there is no problem to wipe them out, but our army will inevitably suffer heavy losses."
After hearing Guan Yu's words, Zhang Fei felt that it would be a bit unworthy of the gains to continue fighting. However, considering that it was difficult to explain in front of Han Zhan, he asked in embarrassment: "Second brother, you let them go easily. How should you reply to him after the Marquis of Anyang arrives?"
"Yider should not worry. Marquis Anyang is not a stubborn person. If he understands the truth here, he will probably do it like a brother." After Guan Yu said that, he turned his head and ordered his subordinates: "Find a suitable place to camp and prepare to fight again tomorrow."
"Brother Yun," heard Guan Yu's orders to prepare for camping, Taishi Ci hurriedly said: "The city is spacious, why not let the army enter the city and station it?" He was afraid that Guan Yu would not agree, and he emphasized, "There is insufficient equipment for defending the city in the city. If Lu Bu's troops attacked the city again, I'm afraid that someone would still be unable to defend it."
