The cracked ground was as dense as a spider web. Then, blue light flashed in the gap, and countless football-sized ice cubes soared into the sky with ice crystals.
The reason why the ice cube is not too big is because Yan Liang's martial arts proficiency is still very low. As his proficiency increases, not only will the ice cube become larger, but the ground coverage will also become wider.
Moreover, the process of breaking the ice abyss was launched very quickly. It took less than a second from cracks on the ground to ice cubes soaring into the sky.
In such a short time, even if Guan Yu reacted, he couldn't jump out of the ten-meter range. Moreover, Guan Yu thought Yan Liang had been beheaded by him, so he hurriedly rode his horse and wanted to take Yan Liang's head. Unexpectedly, Yan Liang had another move.
So, when the ice cubes soared into the sky, Guan Yu's war horse was the first to be hit. But he heard the sound of a sudden rain in his ears, and the war horse died on the spot. And the ice cubes hitting it also triggered a 5% chance of freezing, causing the body to turn fluorescent blue before the war horse fell down, and the speed was reduced to 30% of the normal speed, and slowly fell to the ground like a slow video.
Guan Yu had already risen up at this time, stepped on the ice cubes that were rushing under him, and wanted to use the force to jump out of the range of this super martial arts. However, both the speed and quantity of ice cubes were far beyond Guan Yu's imagination. As soon as he leveraged his strength, before he could jump up again, countless other ice cubes had already hit him, causing Guan Yu to be hit dozens of times in an instant and fell outside the circle.
At the same time, there was a sudden chaos in the left and right wings of Yuan Shao's army. It turned out that the command soldiers sent by Cao Cao had sent orders to Dian Wei, Xu Zhu, Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin and other generals. Taking advantage of the battle between Guan Yu and Yan Liang, they led their troops to encircle and attack from the left and right sides.
Although Yuan Shao's army had long seen Cao Cao's army surrounding the left and right wings, the chief general Yan Liang and Guan Yu were in a fierce battle and could not withdraw. So Xu Huang, Gongsun Zan and other deputy generals hurriedly led the army to intercept the attack. Unexpectedly, Cao's army was in a hurry to fight, and Yuan Shao's army could not resist, so they immediately caused chaos on the left and right wings.
Although Guan Yu was injured at this time, Yan Liang was the same. Seeing that his army was surrounded by Cao's army, Cao Cao on the opposite side ordered the central army to cover up and kill him. Yan Liang had to abandon Guan Yu and lead the soldiers to fight hard.
The so-called building is a one-on-one tree that cannot be supported. No matter how brave Yan Liang is, he is injured. Cao Cao sent many well-known generals to lead the army to attack, which made Yan Liang unable to take care of each other. In the chaos, Yan Liang was also shot an arrow and had to lead the army to retreat.
Cao Cao immediately led a large army to cover up the killing. Yan Liang saw that his army had been defeated and his morale fell sharply, and his army was in a state of disrepair. He thought that even if he entered Baima City, he could not defend it. Therefore, he had to abandon Baima City and fled back to Ye City.
Cao's army won a great victory in this battle, killing more than 20,000 enemies, and occupying Baima City, which exceeded the pre-war expectations. The whole army was very happy. Guan Yu was dejected, like a defeated rooster, with bruises on his face hurt by ice, making his red and green face quite funny, and he didn't say a word between the laughter of the Cao army soldiers.
However, Yan Liang led the remaining soldiers and generals to escape to Yecheng for nearly half a day, and met Yuan Shao's main force who led a large army to fight Cao Cao. When he learned that Yan Liang was defeated, Yuan Shao was deeply surprised: Yan Liang was an ever-winning general under his command. He had never lost a battle before. He heard that he was injured. Cao Cao was indeed difficult to deal with. The princes of Hebei who had been pacified by him before were not a heavyweight player at all.
He ordered the entire army to stop advancing. After a while, Yan Liang came to Yuan Shao alone, with an arrow wound on his shoulder, and pointed to the ground on one knee, apologized to Yuan Shao.
How could Yuan Shao be willing to blame Yan Liang? Several generals and officials begged for a few words of love. Yuan Shao immediately borrowed a donkey to forgive Yan Liang for not guilty. Then, Yuan Shao naturally asked Yan Liang why he was defeated. Yan Liang said truthfully:
"Report to the lord Cao Cao took advantage of the battle between the last general and Guan Yu, and led his elite troops to cover the left and right wings. Our army rushed to fight and lost, so he was defeated."
When Yuan Shao heard Guan Yu, he frowned, turned his head and stared at Liu Bei, shouting:
"Okay, Liu Bei, your second brother Guan Yu defeated my vanguard army, and lost tens of thousands of troops, and injured my beloved general Yan Liang. What else can you say now? The person who came dragged Liu Bei down and killed him."
With this order, a guard immediately stepped forward to grab Liu Bei. Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun hurried forward, but Liu Bei signaled his eyes and retreated. Then Liu Bei closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened his eyes, tears flowed down and said to Yuan Shao:
"Ming Gong, please listen to me."
Seeing Liu Bei crying, Yuan Shao hesitated in his heart: Did I miss him?
Then he said to Liu Bei:
"Let me tell you"
Liu Bei said in tears:
"Ming Gong, Yun Chang has been silent since Cao's army attacked our army's camp at night last year. I had heard rumors before that Yun Chang seemed to be in Cao Cao's place, but I was not sure. Yun Chang didn't know that I had defected to Ming Gong. Otherwise, Yun Chang would not have been an enemy of Ming Gong, which would cause Ming Gong to lose many soldiers, so that Bei could not escape the blame."
When Yuan Shao heard this, he nodded slightly, thinking that Liu Bei's words were somewhat reasonable.
When Liu Bei saw that Yuan Shao was moved by him, he was overjoyed and continued to cry and said:
"If Ming Gong allows it, he will immediately prepare a letter and lead Yun Chang to Ming Gong's tent to kill Cao's thieves."
When Yuan Shao heard this, he turned angry and said:
"In this way, I missed Xuande. I asked Xuande to compile a book immediately and recruit Guan Yu, so don't let me wait for a long time."
Immediately, Yuan Shao ordered the guards to release Liu Bei and the entire army camped on the spot. Liu Bei wrote a letter according to his previous words, ordering a capable soldier under him to sneak into Cao's army and then pass the letter to Guan Yu.
...
Besides, Baima Port has been occupied by Cao's army. Before nightfall, Xuchang Prefect Le Jin and Wancheng Prefect Li Dian each led 50,000 troops, causing Cao's troops to surge to 250,000.
Because Cao Ang, Runan, needed to guard against Sun Jian, did not lead his troops to the battle.
The 250,000 Cao troops were naturally unable to be stationed in the small Baima Port. In fact, only 50,000 soldiers were stationed in the city, and the other soldiers were camped outside the city, including Wu Fan's Second Army's 35,000 Qingzhou fighters.
Although the Qingzhou fighters were camped outside the city, this does not mean that Wu Fan could not send some Qingzhou fighters to stay in the city at night. After dinner, when night fell, Zhou Tai led 30 Qingzhou fighters to station in a house near the temporary house assigned by Cao Cao to Guan Yu. Two Qingzhou fighters were rotated every once in a while to continuously monitor Guan Yu's house.
This is Wu Fan’s deliberate arrangement.
