Chapter 157 Breakthrough (Part 2)
The book continues from the previous chapter.
Li Zhi and others were commanding the army to break out of the encirclement with great difficulty. Zhao Hong was not easy to deal with. He commanded the army to encircle them heavily, making the breakout very difficult.
However, I don't know what happened among the Yellow Turbans. Suddenly, the originally well-organized Yellow Turban army became very chaotic and lost its original organization.
Seeing this, Li Zhi's eyes lit up, he pointed at the weak point of the Yellow Turban army, and hurriedly ordered Guan Yu: "Brother Yun Chang, hurry up! Break out from there."
"Here!" At this time, Guan Yu also felt the chaos of the Yellow Turbans, and did not dare to delay the opportunity. He responded, whipped his horse quickly, and rushed towards the weak point.
I saw Guan Yu leading thousands of cavalry, and their horses were as fast as flying. When they rushed to the weak point, they saw that there were only thousands of yellow scarves in front of them. Guan Yu smiled disdainfully, raised his sword, and slashed left and right, but these yellow scarves could not stop him.
moment.
After a while, Guan Yu killed the enemy and rushed out of the army formation.
Seeing this, Guan Yu was overjoyed. Then he turned his horse's head and loudly ordered to his soldiers: "All officers and soldiers, listen to the order and follow me to open the passage for the army!"
"Kill..." After saying that, Guan Yu shouted and rushed towards the Yellow Turban army. He wanted to widen the gap and open a passage for the army.
When the yellow turban thieves saw that Guan Yu, who had broken through the encirclement, was coming again, they were frightened and moved to both sides one after another.
"Hmph! You'll have to wait and see!" Guan Yu snorted coldly, and ignored these timid Yellow Turban soldiers and just rushed towards those Yellow Turbans who dared to stop him.
When Guan Yu arrived at the Yellow Turban army that was blocking the army from breaking out, he saw Lu Zhi and Zheng struggling to break out under the cover of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.
Seeing this, Guan Yu shouted loudly: "Teacher, don't wait for me, my disciple is coming!"
After saying this, Guan Yu led thousands of cavalry and rushed towards the enemy's formation.
The Yellow Turban soldiers who were fighting with Lu Zhi were already about to be defeated. When they saw Guan Yu coming towards them and others, their morale suddenly dropped.
"The army is coming for reinforcements! Run away..."
"Run quickly..."
"Shut up! Kill the dog officer army!"
There were different opinions among the Yellow Turbans. Some dropped their weapons and ran away, some just shouted loudly on the spot, but there were also some loyal men who were holding the weapons in their hands and shouting to kill while charging towards Guan Yu, hoping that
It can block Guan Yu and buy some time for his commander Zhao Hong.
When Guan Yu saw the yellow scarves rushing towards him, he narrowed his eyes, then suddenly opened his eyes, and swung the sword in his hand like a full moon, and a cold light flashed through.
"Poof!"
"Um!"
The leader groaned, a red line appeared between his neck, and then there was no more sound.
After beheading this man, Guan Yu kept waving the sword in his hand. At the same time, he kept urging his horse to kill left and right among the Yellow Turban Army.
After a while, all these Yellow Turbans were killed by Guan Yu and his subordinates.
After killing these people, Guan Yu saw the army that had rushed out of the enemy's formation. Then Guan Yu said loudly to Lu Zhi: "Teacher, the disciple has opened a passage, please come with the disciple."
After saying this, Guan Yu immediately turned his horse's head and rushed towards the gap he had opened.
Seeing this, Lu Zhi waved his hand to the army behind him: "Follow Yun Chang and break through quickly!"
After saying that, Lu Zhi took the lead and rushed towards Yun Guanyu.
At this time, Lu Zhi's body was also covered in blood, but when he was breaking out, because there were too many people in the Yellow Turbans, Zhang Fei and others who were protecting him were unable to take care of him.
Zhi had no choice but to draw his sword and fight with the yellow scarf. At this time, he had been injured in several places.
Li Zhi, who was following him, was wearing unstained clothes, because under the desperate protection of his guards, during this breakout, the nearest yellow scarf to Li Zhi was more than two feet away.
At this time, Li Zhi also saw the blood stains on Lu Zhi's body, and then looked at his clean clothes. He gave a helpless smile and thought: "After I go out, Dong Zhuo will definitely make a fuss about this matter."
Even if he had guessed that Dong Zhuo would cause trouble for him in the future, Li Zhi was helpless. He couldn't blame his guards for being too powerful.
Just when Li Zhi was thinking wildly, the army had slowly broken out of the encirclement.
After he was completely separated from the enemy, he found that the Yellow Turban Army was not pursuing him. Although Lu Zhi was confused, he didn't think much about it.
After all, it is a good thing for them that there are no Yellow Turbans chasing them, because at this time, Lu Zhi's army has been scarred after several days of fighting and today's breakout battle. If there are more Yellow Turbans chasing them,
I'm afraid of life or death.
Then, Lu Zhi looked at Li Zhi. Just when he was about to ask a question, he found that he was unscathed and even his clothes were very neat.
Seeing this, Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a normal expression: "My dear nephew, I wonder where the camp you mentioned is?"
After Li Zhi heard Lu Zhi's inquiry, he immediately pointed to a hill not far away: "Right there, on the top of this hill, a military camp has been set up under the command of my nephew.
Moreover, there is only one road up and down this hill, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, making it an excellent defensive place."
"My nephew is thoughtful." Lu Zhi nodded, responded, and directed the army to move quickly towards the hill.
After the officers and soldiers broke through, Zhao Hong had not recovered yet, but looked in the direction of Zhao Zhangbao's camp with angry eyes.
When Zhao Hong was angry, his subordinates came to report: "Report to Commander Qu, those officers and soldiers have already broken through. My subordinates and others have not received the order to pursue, so they can only stay where they are, waiting for Commander Qu's order!"
"What?!" Zhao Hong suddenly came back to his senses, turned to look at the person who reported the report, and asked with disbelief: "In just a moment, all these officers and soldiers ran away?! How did you do it?
?!"
The man who reported the report was frightened by Zhao Hong's loud shout, and then replied in a nagging voice: "Reporting it to Qu Shuai, it's not that I don't care, but that without Qu Shuai's order, we dare not transfer him privately."
The army, so there was no encirclement and we could only watch the officers and soldiers run away."
"Humph!" Zhao Hong snorted coldly and ignored the complainant's complaints.
In Zhao Hong's heart, he did not think that he had done anything wrong. Instead, he attributed all the mistakes of letting the officers and soldiers escape to Zhang Bao.
In Zhao Hong's opinion, if Zhang Bao had not sent reinforcements, how would these officers and soldiers have a chance to escape?
Thinking of this, Zhao Hong became more and more angry at Zhang Bao's actions, and finally he shouted: "Retreat the troops!"
After saying that, Zhao Hong hurriedly walked to the camp of other Qushuai, but he wanted to contact other Yellow Turban Qushuai and go to Zhang Bao to settle accounts together.
After Zhao Hong arrived at the Yellow Turban camp in the north, he saw Liu Pi and others reorganizing their troops to attack Julu City.
When Liu Pi saw Zhao Hong coming to him angrily, he asked in confusion: "Brother Zhao is not in the camp commanding his subordinates to attack the city. Why did he come to see me?"
"Attack the city?!" Zhao Hong snorted coldly: "What other city should we attack? These officers and soldiers have already escaped!"
"Run away?!" Liu Pi was shocked when he heard this. He stood up suddenly and asked Zhao Hong with disbelief: "Aren't these officers and soldiers in Julu City resisting our attack in the city?
When did you run away?"
"Humph!" Zhao Hong snorted with a sad and indignant face, and replied angrily: "Just now! These officers and soldiers broke out from the east gate where I was guarding."
Liu Pi heard this and asked hurriedly: "Then why didn't Brother Zhao stop them?!"
"How to stop?" Zhao Hong asked angrily, and then explained to him: "When the officers and soldiers broke through, I saw that this was a good opportunity to annihilate the officers and soldiers, so I ordered my yellow turbans to surround the officers and soldiers.
military.
Moreover, I sent someone to ask for help from Zhang Bao, hoping that we and others could join forces to annihilate these officers and soldiers in one fell swoop, but I didn’t expect that Zhang Bao would..."
Having said this, Zhao Hong sighed with a dark expression and said no more.
Seeing that he had stopped talking in the middle of his sentence, Liu Pi hurriedly asked: "What happened to make my brother so angry? Why did these officers and soldiers run away? But the great virtuous master did not send reinforcements?"
"Alas..." Zhao Hong sighed, shook his head mockingly, and said angrily: "A great sage and good teacher? There is only one great sage and good teacher in my eyes, and it is not this treasure!"
"Brother, be careful what you say!" Liu Pi was shocked when he heard this and blocked Zhao Hong's mouth.
Zhao Hong opened Liu Pi's hand and shouted loudly outside the tent: "There is nothing to say. As soon as Zhang Bao became a great virtuous teacher, he was addicted to women and turned a blind eye to our attack on the city."
, just let us attack on our own.
Now it’s because of him that these officers and soldiers were let go, why? Why don’t you let me, the commander, say a few words now?”
The more Zhao Hong thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally he opened the curtain of the big tent and ran out.
When Liu Pi saw Zhao Hong running out with an angry face, he was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he hurriedly followed him.
When Liu Pi came outside the tent, he saw Zhao Hongzheng pointing in the direction of Zhang Bao and yelling: "Zhang Bao! You idiot, if you hadn't been addicted to women, we would have rescued the great virtuous master by now.
Now you have sent your brother to the underworld with your own hands. An elder brother is like a father. You are unfilial! How can you have the face to occupy the position of a great sage teacher again?!"
Liu Pi was shocked when he saw Zhao Hong's heart-breaking words. He did not expect that Zhao Hong was so bold and dared to say these words.
After a while, Liu Pi came back to his senses and saw that Zhao Hong was still yelling and scolding, and the scolding was getting more and more unpleasant. He quickly ran forward, covered his mouth, and whispered in his ear:
"Brother Zhao, be careful that the walls have ears!"
Zhao Hong pushed Liu Pi away and said loudly: "Even if these words reach Zhang Bao's ears, I am not afraid. At worst, we will break up. He will follow his Yangguan Road, and I will follow my single-plank bridge!"
"
After Liu Pi heard this, he quickly ran forward, grabbed Zhao Hong, and dragged him into the tent.
"Let me go, let me go!" Zhao Hong, who was caught by Liu Pi, struggled hard.
But because his force was much inferior to Liu Pi's, no matter how hard he struggled, it was of no avail and he could only let Liu Pi drag him into his tent.
After entering the tent, Zhao Hong shouted to Liu Pi with an angry face: "Why do you want to stop me?! Are you and that Zhang Bao in the same group?!"
"Brother, please be patient." Liu Pi pressed his hand and said comfortingly: "Although the big... Zhang Bao did something wrong, he is our leader after all. Brother Zhao insulted him like this.
Wouldn't it make others think that Brother Zhao has no regard for superiority or inferiority?
Brother Zhao wants to vent his anger, but it is useless to scold him like a shrew, and it will make people look down on him. This matter needs long-term consideration."
