Chapter 363: A dragnet to wipe out Yuan Shao's last elite troops! Comparing yourself to Lu Bu? You are destined to be killed by me!
"The eldest... the eldest son?"

Yan Liang's voice was trembling and his eyes were wide open as if he had seen the most horrifying scene in his life.

The eldest son of the Yuan family, who was supposed to have launched a mutiny and helped them to kill from the north gate, had now been beheaded, with his bloody head hanging under the city gate!
what does this mean?
This meant that Ju Su's plan was leaked, so Liu Bei took the initiative and killed Yuan Tan!
They also hung Yuan Tan's head here to show off their power and to intimidate them!

Yan Liang was shocked and stunned.

The Wei army soldiers crowded in front of the city were all terrified and fell into panic.

"It must be Xiao Fang who saw through Ju Su's plan!"

"The eldest son's crime was exposed and he was beheaded by Liu Bei!"

"No wonder we were able to fight our way in so smoothly. This must be a trap set by Liu Bei!"

"There is a trap here, withdraw your troops immediately!"

Zhang He shouted loudly, turned his horse around and left.

Zhang He's troops on both sides were immediately like frightened birds, screaming in fear and scrambling to flee northward.

Yan Liang froze in place, staring at his head on the city wall, his fists clenched, still hesitant.

On the city floor.

Liu Bei looked down at the chaotic enemy army, a murderous look on his face.

Draw the sword in your hand and point it at the enemy:
"Pass on my order, all units will attack according to the plan and annihilate the enemy who has fallen into our trap!"

The horn sounded on the city wall.

Tens of thousands of archers immediately bent their bows and shot arrows.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Sharp arrows like locusts poured down like raindrops.

A scream suddenly rang out!
In the blink of an eye, the Wei soldiers who had not yet withdrawn were pinned down and thrown to the ground in chaos.

Yan Liang's remaining hesitation was finally shattered by the violent rain of arrows.

"retreat!"

"All troops retreat——"

Yan Liang brandished his sword to block the incoming rain of arrows, turned his horse around and shouted hoarsely.

Ghosts were wailing and wolves were howling, and corpses were everywhere.

Hundreds and thousands of Wei soldiers were like ants, and their lives were killed in large numbers by the rain of arrows.

This is just the beginning.

The city gate opened with a bang and the drawbridge slowly dropped down.

The tens of thousands of soldiers standing in the city finally revealed their ferocious faces.

"Soldiers of the Great Chu, follow me and charge out to kill the bandits!"

Zhang Fei roared like thunder, jumped on his horse, dragged his spear, and rushed out first.

Tens of thousands of Chu soldiers, who had held their strength to the limit, roared and raged, and rushed out of the city gate like beasts out of a cage, attacking the fleeing Wei army.

The situation changed so quickly that the Wei army had no time to retreat and was caught up by the Chu army.

The killing begins.

The morale of the Wei army had collapsed and they were crushed and slaughtered in large numbers by the Chu army like cutting vegetables and melons.

In a blink of an eye, the city's north gate was flooded with blood.

Yan Liang's fighting spirit was broken, and he didn't care about the lives of his soldiers. He just focused on escaping.

After suffering countless casualties, he and his defeated troops finally retreated away from the city gate and to the north camp line.

Just when he was about to take a breath, the sound of killing rang out again.

In the Chu camp that was originally empty, tens of thousands of Chu soldiers appeared from all directions like divine troops descending from the sky.

The siege begins.

The various armies, led by the generals, were like countless sharp blades, piercing the Wei army full of holes in an instant.

Another bloody massacre.

at last.

After suffering tens of thousands of casualties, the Wei army finally broke out from the North Camp Gate.

Yan Liang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had escaped.

In the night ahead, the fire suddenly grew bigger and countless torches were lit.

Yan Liang and his soldiers were blinded by the flames and instinctively raised their hands to block them.

When they adjusted to the firelight, lowered their arms and looked up, everyone instantly fell into the abyss of despair again.

Yan Liang took a deep breath and almost lost control of the long sword in his hand.

Directly in front of them, a Chu army formation blocked the way like a solid wall of steel.

A large flag with the word "Guan" on it fluttered brightly in the firelight.

There was a general in front of the formation, holding a Qinglong sword in his hand, riding a Red Hare, with flowing beard, a face as red as a jujube, and as powerful as a god.

The commander of the army was Guan Yu.

This former general of the Great Chu, who had originally led his troops to garrison Hongnong and block Cao Cao from advancing eastward to rescue Wei, now appeared on the battlefield in Hebei, standing in front of the fleeing Wei army.

Cao Cao has led his main force into Shu again to attack Liu Zhang, so the pressure on the Hongnong front has naturally decreased sharply.

In order to destroy Wei with all his strength, Liu Bei ordered Guan Ping, Lu Xun and others to lead the army to garrison Hongnong, and ordered Guan Yu to lead his troops north to meet him in Hebei.

Guan Yu also arrived in time. He had just arrived in Wucheng yesterday with 20,000 elite troops, and just happened to catch up with Xiao Fang's plan of taking advantage of the situation and luring the fish into the bait.

Liu Bei then ordered Guan Yu to lead his Jingzhou army to set up an ambush in the north of Beiying to stop the fleeing Wei army.

Seeing the enemy approaching, Guan Yu took a half step forward and pointed his Qinglong sword at a distance:
"I am Guan Yu, the former general of the Great Chu!"

"Lie down and surrender, and I will spare your life!"

"I will kill those who resist stubbornly!"

The thunderous roar echoed in the night sky, making the Wei army soldiers' scalps numb.

For a moment, tens of thousands of defeated soldiers were frightened by Guan Yu's power and even began to consider surrendering.

Zhang He rolled his eyes and shouted:
"Brother Yan, let's split up and break out from the east and west, and then go around and retreat to Yecheng!"

"Take care of yourself, we'll see you in Yecheng!"

When Zhang He saw that Guan Yu was blocking his way, he did not dare to confront him and immediately spurred his horse to flee eastward.

The Wei army soldiers fled with Zhang He without any time to think.

Yan Liang had no time to weigh the pros and cons, so he gritted his teeth and spurred his horse to flee westward.

The Wei army that escaped from the camp split into two parts and fled in the east and west directions respectively.

Seeing this situation, Guan Yu couldn't help but frown.

He did not expect that among the enemy army, there was a general like Zhang He who was good at adapting to changes of circumstances and chose to break out separately.

It is not realistic to intercept the two Wei armies. We must choose one path between the two defeated enemies.

Guan Yu glanced around and immediately locked onto the flag with the word "Yan" on it.

Yan Liang, one of the two heroes of Hebei, is known as the leader of the four pillars and is as brave as Lu Bu!

His fame and reputation far surpassed Zhang He. With his pride, he naturally chose to attack the strongest one.

"All troops, listen up and follow me to intercept the Wei bandits fleeing westwards!"

Guan Yu pointed his Qinglong sword, and the Red Hare horse leaped out like lightning.

The 20,000-strong Jingzhou army lined up in battle array and rushed forward like a tide, rushing towards the Wei army led by Yan Liang.

Another bloody massacre.

Tens of thousands of Wei soldiers were cut off by the Chu army and torn into countless pieces in an instant. They were forced to fight each other and were surrounded and killed at will.

Amid the chaos of the army, Yan Liang could only ride his horse wildly and kill wildly to carve a bloody path for himself.

"These tens of thousands of troops are the last mobile force of our Great Wei. If they suffer heavy casualties like this, how can I have the face to go back and see the King of Wei?"

"What else does your Majesty have to defend Yecheng and the foundation of our Wei?"

"Could it be that Heaven is really going to destroy the Wei Dynasty?"

Yan Liang was running wildly, the bloody knife in his hand dancing wildly, with a feeling of sadness in his heart.

Sudden.

An unprecedented, suffocating murderous aura pressed in from the side.

"Yan Liang, where are you escaping to!"

"Guan Yu is here, accept your fate!"

Immediately afterwards, a thunderous roar rang out.

Yan Liang turned around suddenly and saw a general with a long sword in his hand, coming towards him as if he was controlling fire.

No, that's not fire, but the divine horse Red Hare!

Guan Yu sat on Red Hare, holding the Green Dragon Blood Sword in his hand, cutting through the rebel army and rushing towards him on a bloody path.

"Guan Yu?"

Yan Liang's eyes widened, and endless rage instantly ignited in his originally sad and desperate eyes.

kill him!

Such a bloody thought suddenly popped up in his mind.

That Guan Yu, who was known to be brave enough to fight against ten thousand enemies, was the chief military general of the State of Chu and was feared throughout the world!
Although I was defeated today and lost countless soldiers, if I can kill the number one general of the Chu State, it can be considered to make up for this tragic defeat.

"Guan Yu, a nobody!"

"I, Yan Liang, will kill you today!"

With a loud and arrogant roar, Yan Liang turned his horse, holding the bloody knife in his hand, and rushed towards Guan Yu.

Amidst the chaos, two riders walked on a bloody road, trailing long trails of bloody dust, and charged towards each other.

The wrong horses meet in an instant.

The Qinglong sword in Guan Yu's hand, with the power to destroy the world, slashed out in the air.

Before the blade arrived, the extremely strong pressure was already coming towards him like a mountain pressing down on his head.

Yan Liang's breath suddenly stagnated, and he felt something was wrong.

It seems that I underestimated the enemy.

Without time to think, Yan Liang's arms were bulging with veins, and he used all his strength to slash out with his long sword.

"throat!"

The knives collided with each other.

There was a loud noise that pierced the eardrums, as if a hole had been poked in the sky.

Guan Yu, who passed by on the wrong horse, stood like an iron tower, his aura and figure not shaken at all.

Yan Liang leaned back slightly, feeling a dull pain in his palms, and his internal Qi and blood were shaken.

The superior and the inferior are already distinguished.

Yan Liang turned his horse around, and the arrogance on his face suddenly turned into surprise.

He originally thought that Lu Bu was dead and that his martial arts were the best in the world, but he never expected that there was someone whose martial arts were better than his.

Yan Liang's pride and arrogance were instantly severely damaged.

"What do you mean Hebei's best general? He is just a bidder to sell Seoul!"

"Yan Liang, you are too weak."

Guan Yu snorted contemptuously, but did not give him the chance to be shocked. He swung the Qinglong sword in his hand back and forth.

The words "You are too weak" immediately hurt Yan Liang's self-esteem.

He flew into a rage and roared:
"Guan Yu, who do you think you are? How dare you look down on me, Yan Liang!"

"I want your dog head!"

While roaring, Yan Liang took a deep breath, suppressed the qi and blood in his internal organs, and slashed back with his long sword.

"Bang!"

There was another loud bang like the sky collapsing.

Yan Liang's palms cracked slightly, and the blood and qi in his internal organs surged again, and he and his sword were slightly pushed back.

There is still a clear distinction between the two.

Guan Yu did not give him a chance to breathe. The Qinglong Sword transformed into a sword curtain in the air, sweeping down like an all-out force, covering his entire body.

Yan Liang's furious arrogance was suppressed in just a few sword strikes, and he had to grit his teeth and fight back.

Within ten moves, Hebei's most powerful general was oppressed to the point where he was unable to fight back and could only respond passively.

Just as Yan Liang was struggling to hold on, the Chu army behind him also chased after him. Under the pincer attack from both sides, more than 10,000 of his troops were killed and wounded.

When Yan Liang managed to spare a glance, he discovered that there were only a few of his subordinates left alive.

"Damn it! This guy's martial arts is better than mine!"

"If the fight continues, even if I don't die in his hands, it will be difficult for me to break out. I will definitely die in the encirclement of the Chu army!"

"I am the most powerful general in the Wei Dynasty. The king still needs me. How can I die here?"

Yan Liang's thoughts changed and he immediately wanted to escape.

So he used both arms to push back Guan Yu's sword, then he turned his horse and jumped out of the battle group, trying to escape.

"You traitor, do you think you can get away?"

Guan Yu snorted coldly and urged his Red Hare to chase after him.

The Red Hare galloped like the wind and caught up with Yan Liang in a blink of an eye. The Green Dragon Sword stirred up a cloud of blood and dust and slashed upwards diagonally.

Yan Liang forgot that Guan Yu's mount was the divine horse Red Hare, and he did not expect that the enemy would catch up so quickly. When he heard the sound of a sword breaking through the air behind him and looked back, he was shocked to see the blood-stained blade coming right at his head.

"Oh no, I forgot he stole Lu Bu's Red Hare!"

Yan Liang thought to himself that something was wrong, and when he wanted to draw his sword to block, it was already too late.

The knife in his hand hasn't come out yet, but the Qinglong knife has already arrived.

"Crack!"

In a flash, Yan Liang was cut into two parts along with his horse.
