Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 46 Field Battle
Seeing that the two scouts were panting, Liu Yu obviously ran all the way in a hurry.

"Don't worry, take a breath before you talk." They didn't know what happened, but the two were so anxious.Liu Yu was naturally curious and anxious, but his face was still calm, showing no sign of anxiety.

After a while, although the two scouts were still panting, they hurriedly said: "Sima, there is a battle ahead."

"Who is fighting with whom? Is it that kid Monkey?" Before Liu Yu could speak, Gao Meng's eyes lit up and he asked energetically.Apparently, when this guy heard the fight, he was in high spirits.

The two scouts were robbed, but they didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction. Instead, they bowed respectfully to Gao Meng, and then continued: "It's not the captain, one is the Yellow Turban Bandit, and the other is a general surnamed Cai."

"Hey, how do you know who is fighting?" Gao Meng patted his head, thinking for a rare time, and asked doubtfully.

But Liu Yu didn't praise him, but gave him a blank look, and then explained: "The army has a flag, and the army has a flag with its surname written on it. As for the Yellow Turban Bandits, aren't the bandits in this area Yellow Turban Bandits?"

This is true, the area around Runan is full of Yellow Turban thieves. Although Cao Cao swept Runan in February, they still haven't been killed.For example, Gong Du in Runan, and Zhou Cang mentioned in the novel, there seems to be another Liao Hua.

After listening to Liu Yu's annoyed explanation, Gao Meng also felt ashamed, and rarely scratched his head in embarrassment.But Liu Yu didn't have time to care about Gao Meng's embarrassment. He turned his horse's head and immediately shouted: "You two walk slowly, the others march quickly, pay attention to concealment."

As he said that, he had already whipped the horse's ass, and galloped forward.And Gao Meng and the others were unambiguous, they also whipped the horse, and galloped away with Liu Yu.

After a while, everyone came to the place where Liu Shou and the others were hiding, which was actually in the woods.And outside the woods is the open grassland, which is where the two teams of men and horses fought.The combined strength of these two teams is tens of thousands, and they are fighting inextricably.

When Liu Yu was about to arrive here, he had already ordered to dismount and walk, but he didn't ask anyone to wear a grass horse with a ring. After all, the subtle voices from this side could not be heard at all in the battle between the two sides.

"Monkey, what's the matter?" Liu Yu touched the squatting Liu Shou and asked in a low voice.

Liu Shou spit out the dog's tail grass in his mouth with a bah, and also lowered his voice and said: "Sima, we tied a guy on the edge of the battlefield just now."

As he spoke, he pointed to a corpse in the grass.The body was skinny, and the ribs could be seen through the clothes.The clothes worn by the corpse were also tattered, only a yellow silk scarf around the neck was clean and intact.

Liu Yu glanced at his fingers, then turned around and waited for his next words.Sure enough, Liu Shou paused for a moment, and then continued to whisper: "We asked for some information. That guy said he was a soldier under Gong Du's command, and the one who fought against them was the nephew of the prefect of Runan Cai Qi. I didn’t ask more, he said he didn’t know.”

Gong Du, Cai Qi, could it be them?
When Liu Yu first heard the names of these two people, he felt familiar for a while.So, he quickly recalled the history books.Sure enough, he knew both of them.

Gong Du, this man is good at martial arts. He was originally a leader of the Runan Yellow Turban, but was later defeated by Cao Cao.Later, when Liu Bei came to Runan, he followed Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao.In the sixth year of Jian'an, that is, in 201 AD, he and Liu Bei killed Cai Yang, the prefect of Runan, which can be described as another pinnacle of his life.And then, apparently, he died.This person's martial arts skills are acceptable, but his sincerity is few people can match.

As for Cai Qi, he is the nephew of Cai Yang who was killed by Gong Du.In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this person died at the hands of Guan Yu, but no matter how he died, he was just a small person.Of course, no matter how small Cai Qi is, no one dares to provoke him in Runan, and his current official position is not comparable to that of Liu Yu.

"It's normal if you don't know. He's just a small character. It's good to know these things." Liu Yu replied casually after pondering.Then, he looked at the battlefield with flickering eyes.

At this time, Gao Meng, who had been holding back for a long time, suddenly said: "Ayu, can we make it?"

He looked at Liu Yu with hot eyes, obviously his hands were itchy.Xia Houlan was next to him, she didn't speak, but she also looked at Liu Yu with fiery eyes.

Liu Yu looked back at the two of them, and pondered: "It is definitely necessary to fight, but if you rush over so recklessly, let alone 20 people, even 200 people are not enough to die. We only have such a small number of people, so we can only fight wisely." Can't beat it."

Liu Yu doesn't know much about strategy, but he knows too many classic battles.In the current situation, where one's own troops are insufficient and both sides of the battlefield are anxious, the only way is to scare the opponent away.

He thought for a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he said to everyone: "Tie the branch to the horse's tail, each hold two flags, run back and forth over there, and shout to me. As for the other flags , all on the road."

There is no way, he has no props, otherwise, hanging sheep and drums, or planting flags all over the mountains and forests, it is guaranteed to scare all these yellow scarves away.But now there were only a few flags, made of clothes from some nearby corpses, so he had to take a chance.If it doesn't work, he will either lead twenty or so people and enter the battlefield alone; or he will turn his horse's head and slip away in a desperate manner.

Soon, everyone was set up.However, the situation on the battlefield is not optimistic. The troops of General Cai have been somewhat defeated, and the balance of victory is tilting towards those yellow scarves.

Liu Yu took a look from a distance, and immediately turned the horse's head and returned to the official road.He was holding the horse rope with his left hand, and the iron spine snake spear with his right hand. He clamped the horse's belly with both feet, and shouted loudly at the same time: "Kill!"

His sound was like the fuse to detonate a bomb, and everyone immediately roared after hearing it.They either roared and killed, or shouted loudly, or made strange noises, in short, the sound was very loud.

At the same time, the horses with their pinched feet galloped wildly, and the dust that was raised up was flying all over them, covering their figures, only the faint flags could be seen.And this is exactly what Liu Yu wanted.

Sure enough, Gong Du was really startled when Pu Yi heard people neighing, and hurriedly looked in the direction where the sound came from.He was even more terrified when he saw this, because there was dust flying in the distance, and it seemed that a large group of people would kill them.

He wanted to run away immediately, but seeing Cai Qi who was about to be defeated by him, he was unwilling to just run away like this.He has been suppressed and beaten by Cao Jun since the beginning of the year. Not only did he lose a lot of troops, but also his confidence.In the past few days, she has been feigning defeat continuously, and finally lured Cai Qi out, just to severely suppress Cao Jun's arrogance.Of course, the more important thing is for Cao Jun's food and grass.But now that they were about to win, a group of people suddenly appeared in the distance.

His face was very ugly, showing hesitation.On the one hand, he was unwilling to retreat like this, but on the other hand, his soldiers also suffered heavy losses.

Retreat or not, in the end retreat or not?The veins in his hands popped out, and he roared in his heart.

If Gong Du was in a difficult situation, then Cai Qi was completely in ecstasy.He was originally a proud and arrogant person, these days he chased and killed this Gongdu and won consecutive victories, how could he endure today's defeat?

Originally, seeing that his soldiers were retreating steadily, and seeing his subordinates also persuading him to retreat, he already hesitated whether to retreat.But the arrival of Liu Yu in the distance made him feel ecstatic. At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Soldiers, hold on, our reinforcements have arrived. These days, the yellow scarf thieves we can fight are not strong enough to fight back. Today we will certainly be able to fight back." Hold on, soldiers hold on."

As he said that, he even galloped his horse into the chaotic formation, waving the long knife in his hand non-stop, and almost killed all the yellow scarves beside him and fled.But there were too many yellow scarves, and he couldn't kill many by himself.After a while, he himself was in crisis.If it weren't for the guards around him desperately protecting him, he might have been hacked to death with random knives.And his reckless behavior finally strengthened Gong Du's determination to kill him before retreating.

Gong Du looked at Cai Qi with a ferocious smile on his face, and immediately slapped Cai Qi on horseback.At the same time, he shouted violently: "Kill, whoever kills Cai Qi will be rewarded with a hundred gold."

Cai Qi's situation was even more dangerous, and Cao Jun was also beaten by the soaring Yellow Turban and had no power to parry.Liu Yu stared into the distance, frowning, and blamed Cai Qi for not knowing what to do, but for voluntarily sending herself to death, and determined the will of the Yellow Turban Bandit.

In this situation, should he kill him, or run away?
