Mi Han

Chapter 52
What is a handsome talent?

Those who manipulate the battle are also.

Liu Bei relied heavily on Guan Yu and appointed him as the general guarding Jingzhou. In addition to Liu Bei's trust in Guan Yu's loyalty,
It was also because Liu Bei saw that Guan Yu was a handsome and talented person.

Guan Yu's defeat was influenced by many factors in history, but since Mi Yang traveled to the present time, history has already changed.
Under Mi Yang's reminder, Guan Yu had already understood Xu Huang's plan to attack the west in advance. With such a prophetic advantage,
Guan Yu has enough ability to have absolute control over tonight's battle.

When Guan Yu was about to leave Weitoutun a few days ago, he had already given instructions to Pan Jun, Wang Fu and others who stayed behind in Weitoutun,

If they found signs of fighting in Sizhongtun, they would immediately lead the soldiers and horses in the battalion to storm Xu Huang's camp.

Most of the scholars in this era were tolerant of literature and martial arts, and Pan Jun himself was not bad at commanding troops.

But just in case, Guan Yu was worried that Pan Jun would not be able to lead a big night attack, so before he left, he specially ordered Pan Jun to say,
"Gongming will attack me at night, and you can also disrupt the camp at night."

"You can secretly go to a place several miles outside the camp, order more firewood to be collected, gather two bunches together, and go ten steps away from each other, in a vertical and horizontal line.

All the fires broke out that night, and they gathered together.Cry in the camp, if the army moves. "

"In this way, the general guarding the camp of the bandit army will be frightened and will light the beacon fire in the camp to call for Gongming to come back for help."

After Pan Jun said that he would act according to plan, Guan Yu finally left with peace of mind.

But tonight, Pan Jun did not disappoint Guan Yu's entrustment, and acted according to Guan Yu's plan.

Sure enough, Zhao Yan, who was in Xu Huang's camp, hurriedly lit the beacon fire in the camp.

In the dark sky, the black smoke caused by the beacon fire is not easy to detect,

But under Guan Yu's strategy, the outside of Xu Huang's camp is now illuminated by countless torches like daylight.

And even though the scouts in Xu Huang's army didn't detect the warning beacon in his camp in time, they must have seen the illusion of the army's attack created by Pan Jun at a glance.

Because there were not many soldiers and horses left in the camp, after Xu Huang arrived at Sizhongtun, he first sent some scouts to climb up to observe the situation of his camp, so that he could detect any situation in time.

And when the scouts in Xu Huang's army saw the scene that terrified them, they immediately reported the matter to Xu Huang's deputy, Xu Shang.

After Xu Shang heard the news, he couldn't help but exclaimed, which was heard by Xu Huang.

Hearing that his camp was being stormed by Guan Yu's army, Xu Huang was so distraught that he almost fell off his horse.

Most of his troops are cavalry, and the daily rations consumed by men and horses are huge.

In order to support these five thousand cavalry, Cao Cao almost emptied all the food in Yuzhou and Yanzhou.
Now that huge amount of food is in the big camp, if the big camp is taken by Guan Yu, then the more than ten thousand soldiers and horses under his command will immediately fall into the crisis of running out of food.

Although he is now at a disadvantage in the battle with Guan Yu, Xu Huang's army can still advance and retreat freely by virtue of the mobility of the cavalry.

It's just that if the camp is lost and the food and grass are cut off, his army of more than ten thousand will collapse without fighting within three days.

Almost in an instant, Xu Huang made a choice in his heart.

Anyway, the current situation on the battlefield is not good for him, so it would be better to retreat early.

After making a decision in his heart, Xu Huang immediately ordered Ming Jin to retreat.

When the sharp golden sound sounded, the army on Xu Huang's side seemed to have received amnesty.

Under Guan Yu's command just now, their side has suffered heavy losses.

The army under Xu Huang's command had long intended to retreat, but it was only because of the supervisory team formed by Xu Huang's personal soldiers watching behind him, that they bit the bullet and continued to fight.

Now that Xu Huang finally gave the order to retreat, the exhausted Wei soldiers immediately took advantage of the high mobility of their war horses,
Quickly withdrew from the battlefield one after another, and ran away on the way they came and went without looking back.

Most of Xu Huang's troops are recruits, and the more than [-] cavalry troops belong to many departments.
When one's own side has the upper hand, Xu Huang, who is not yet feigned, can still command and move them.

But now, although the Wei army is taking the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield, it has actually become a rout.
Under such circumstances, Xu Huang could only watch helplessly as the remaining thousands of cavalry fled around in disorder.

It's just that the big camp is in a hurry now, and Xu Huang can't take care of that much. Everything is focused on returning to the big camp in time.

In order to ensure that the thousands of cavalry who were running wildly could retreat safely, Xu Huang could only personally lead the elite soldiers under his command to cut off the rear for them.

Fortunately, these thousands of Wei cavalry were not stupid, and they knew that they would eventually run back.

The soldiers and horses of Xu Huang's headquarters are really considered soldiers, and with the command of famous generals like Xu Huang, with the help of the huge maneuverability of the cavalry,
Xu Huang finally temporarily repelled Guan Yu's pawns who were chasing after him.

Before Xu Huang breathed a sigh of relief, he saw thousands of cavalry in the camp of Sizhong in front of him coming out of the camp to attack his own side.

Xu Huang looked at the person in front, was it Guan Yu or who?

Xu Huang was concerned about the safety of the camp, and suppressed the thought of continuing to compete with Guan Yu.

He led the cavalry under his command, quickly followed the pace of the friendly troops in front, and rushed towards his camp.

Seeing this, Guan Yu was not in a hurry to catch up.

He summoned Liao Hua to temporarily act as the commander of the infantry, and stayed to clean up the battlefield.

Then he led the cavalry under his command to pursue Xu Huang in the direction where he fled.

Guan Yu made all kinds of plans to catch Xu Huang tonight, and now of course he is not willing to let his efforts fall by the wayside.

While escaping, human potential will be stimulated infinitely.

I saw thousands of riders galloping towards the north on the southern land outside Fancheng, the speed was much faster than when they came.

At this speed, even if the horses of Guan Yu's cavalry army were good horses, they couldn't catch up with them for a while.

Fortunately, it was an escape at this time, and there was no need to guarantee secrecy.

Therefore, most of these thousands of cavalry soldiers held torches in their hands, otherwise most of them with night blindness, probably more than half of them would have fled.

Under the rapid gallop, the thousands of cavalry troops of the Wei army who had escaped from outside Sizhong Village soon came to Yuling again.

Yu Ling's entrance is still so deep, like the huge mouth of an ancient ferocious beast, quietly waiting for his prey to take the initiative to come to the door.

This scene, against the background of the night, made people feel a little more chill in their hearts unconsciously.

But at this time, the thousands of cavalry were fleeing for their lives, and they passed through Yuling unimpeded just now, so they didn't think much about it.

Just so quickly rushed into the valley of Yuling.

Xu Huang, who was behind the thousands of cavalry, saw this scene. Although he wanted to stop it, it was too late.

Moreover, Xu Huang thought that Guan Yu was in a hurry to pursue him, and his camp was in a hurry. At this time, his eagerness exceeded his vigilance.

Therefore, he just paused for a while, and then led his troops and horses into the valley of Yuling.

The passage in the Uling Middle Valley is not narrow, under normal circumstances it can accommodate a dozen cavalry passing side by side in an orderly manner.

Moreover, this valley road is not long, and it will not take too long to rush out of this valley road at the speed of cavalry.

But now is not the normal situation,
I saw nearly ten thousand cavalrymen of the Wei army rushing forward one after another after rushing into the valley in the Yuling.

This instead caused congestion and greatly delayed their progress out of the valley.

And just after nearly ten thousand Wei army cavalry had almost entered the Yuling Valley Road,

At this time, on the mountains on both sides of Yuling, suddenly golden drums were beeping, and the sky was filled with flames.

Numerous soldiers dressed in Han army uniforms appeared from the mountains and forests. They were densely distributed on the mountains on both sides of the Ulleung Valley Road.
They kept waving their weapons and cheering in Jingzhou slang,

Under the dancing of many Han soldiers, dozens of "Guan" flags fluttered in the wind.

And just after these Jingzhou soldiers showed up, the entrances and exits on both sides of the valley were also blocked by many boulders rolling down from the mountain.

The cavalry of the Wei army who were already approaching the front exit were caught off guard by these boulders,
Even people and horses were crushed on the boulder, and the dead couldn't die anymore.

This shocking turn of events frightened the thousands of cavalrymen of the Wei army.

They crowded in the valley road because of the fear in their hearts, they kept driving left and right to push and push.

Because of the crowding, many Wei soldiers were squeezed off their horses by their comrades, and then trampled to death by countless horses on the ground.

For a moment, the sound of wailing and exclamation kept ringing in the valley road in Yuling.

At this time, the Jingzhou soldiers who had already ambushed on the mountain put sharp arrows on the longbows in their hands.

Then they raised their longbows and aimed at the cavalrymen of the Wei army who were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered in the Uling Valley Road.
