Chapter Eighty-Three: Catch One Alive

With the killing of "Guan Yu", the Jingzhou army became even more chaotic.

The ancient army was not as perfect as in later generations, and the quality of the soldiers was not high, and the general general would be killed, if there were no other outstanding generals who came out to preside over the situation, then the soldiers would fall into extreme chaos, and they could easily be defeated by the enemy, and as for the defensive counterattack, it was simply unorganized.

Therefore, in ancient wars, the saying that the thief captures the king first came out.

A tiger and leopard rode under Xiahou Shang's orders, and Pegasus ran out of the Jingzhou military camp and returned to Xiangyang City to report to Cao Pi.

Xiangyang City, under the inner gate, in Xiangyang City, in addition to the guards of the palace and a small number of soldiers and horses guarding the city gate, about 4,000 soldiers and horses, one by one, are stubborn, all of them are waiting here.

Lin Xiao was sitting on a horse at the moment, wearing armor and carrying a spear, at the forefront of the soldiers and horses, Cao Pi and Lu Chang were beside Lin Xiao, and Sima Yi did not follow.

The tiger and leopard rode into the city.

The soldier's face was full of joy, and he reported to Cao Piyu excitedly: "Second son, General Xiahou killed Guan Yu, and the Jingzhou army is in chaos, please send troops to support quickly!" ”

"Guan Yu is dead?" Cao Pi was surprised and delighted when he heard this.

"At this moment, it is the second half of the night, although the Jingzhou army is heavily guarded, General Xiahou still successfully killed the Jingzhou military camp. Guan Yu led his troops out to resist, but he was injured during the day, and he couldn't even lift the Qinglong knife, and was stabbed under the horse by General Xiahou three times, and even the red rabbit horse was taken back by General Xiahou! ”

Cao Pi was overjoyed: "Great, Zhonghu, you quickly sent troops to attack and became famous in one fell swoop, just today!" ”

"No! Come with me, brothers! Lin Xiao nodded, waved his hand, and led the soldiers and horses out of the city.

The Jingzhou army was already in chaos, and Xiahou Shang led three hundred tigers and leopards to ride invincible in the chaos army.

"The military division has an order, quickly retreat to Yicheng, in case the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang take advantage of the chaos to attack!"

At this time, a loud shout came from the direction of the big tent of the Chinese army.

By the light of the fire, Xiahou Shang hurriedly looked in the direction of the big tent of the Chinese army, and saw many generals protecting a carriage heading south, and there was a person standing on the carriage, a lupine scarf, who was not "Zhuge Liang"?

"Chase me and catch Zhuge Liang alive!" Seeing this, Xiahou Shang hurriedly pulled out his horse and chased after him.

However, after a long time, Lin Xiao also led the arrival, and at this moment the Jingzhou army had retreated to the south.

Lin Xiao looked at the soldiers and horses retreating southward in front of him, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and a spear pointed at the front and shouted: "Now the Jingzhou army is a lost dog, there is no need to kill the enemy, just chase and kill Zhuge Liang, as long as Zhuge Liang can be captured, none of these routs can escape." The second son has a life, if he can capture Zhuge Liang, he will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and he will be given a thousand tilts of good land! Afterwards, everyone has a heavy reward, kill with me! ”

Although it is said that the Jingzhou army is a bluff defeat at this moment, but in the process of retreating, the ranks of soldiers will inevitably disperse, and as soon as the enemy rushes up, the bluff may become a real defeat.

Therefore, Lin Xiao ordered that the soldiers should only capture Zhuge Liang and not pay attention to the fleeing soldiers, so as to ensure that the Jingzhou army would not be scattered, would not become a real defeat due to fraud, and could also reduce the casualties of the Jingzhou army.

The temptation of money and good land is undoubtedly huge, and the soldiers listened to Lin Xiao's words, and their morale was immediately high, and under the leadership of Lin Xiao, they went straight to the Jingzhou army to chase after them.

The Jingzhou army in front had already received Zhuge Liang's orders, and when the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang City in the rear caught up, they tried to avoid casualties on both sides of the road as much as possible to avoid casualties in the chaos.

If it was a normal situation, no matter where the Jingzhou army hid, the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang would also kill them. But now, under Lin Xiao's order, the defenders of Xiangyang only have a soft spot for Zhuge Liang, and they only want to capture Zhuge Liang wholeheartedly, and they don't pay attention to the Jingzhou soldiers and horses on the road.

After the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang City passed, the soldiers and horses of the Jingzhou army quickly gathered to block the return of the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang City.

And Xiahou Shang led the tiger and leopard cavalry, and in the chaos of the army, he chased after the chariot where "Zhuge Liang" was.

Soon, the army was far away from Xiangyang City, chasing all the way for more than 20 miles, and at this moment it was close to dawn, and dawn was approaching.

"Zhuge Liang, you can't run!" Xiahou Shang rode his horse all the way, the red rabbit horse was fast, and he had already caught up with the chariot where "Zhuge Liang" was, he shouted, stabbed the soldier driving the chariot to death, and the ape arm was light, and he caught the "Zhuge Liang" on the chariot.

Xiahou Shang pressed "Zhuge Liang" on his horse, took a closer look, and found that although this "Zhuge Liang" was dressed in a gorgeous dress and wearing a scarf, he was terrified at the moment.

"You are not Zhuge Liang, who are you!" Although I haven't seen Zhuge Liang, this kind of goods obviously can't be Zhuge Liang, Xiahou Shang's pupils shrank, and he suddenly felt that the cold hairs on his body suddenly rose.

"Haha, you're a master of the army!" Next to the chariot, Yiqi suddenly laughed, and a cyan long knife suddenly stabbed out of his hand, approaching Xiahou Shang's body, the blade turned, and a knife slapped Xiahou Shang's chest.

Xiahou was still caught off guard and was slapped off his horse with a knife.

"Guan Yu, you're not dead?" Seeing this cavalry, Xiahou Shang's face suddenly changed greatly, and he grabbed the head hanging in front of the red rabbit horse to take a look, although it was a red face and long hair, but its appearance did not have the momentum of Guan Yu to dominate the world at all.

"Lin Xiao, you traitor!" Xiahou Shang scolded, angrily threw the head on the ground, who didn't know that he was killing an impostor, and seeing that Guan Yu's left arm did not have the slightest trace of blood, not even a trace of bandaging, Xiahou Shang finally woke up, Lin Xiao is a spy!

"Tie me up!" Guan Yu stroked his long hair, withdrew the Qinglong knife, turned over and dismounted, and ordered the soldiers to tie up Xiahou Shang.

"I've wronged you!" Guan Yu walked to the side of the red rabbit horse and stroked the head of the red rabbit horse, the red rabbit horse snorted and rubbed on Guan Yu's cheek affectionately.

Xiahou Shang had no power to resist, he was tied up by the soldiers with ropes, he saw that the red rabbit horse that just belonged to him fell into the hands of Guan Yu again, and he couldn't help but wonder: "The red rabbit horse is your second life, in order to win Xiangyang, you are willing to lose your reputation to Lin Xiao, and even take out the red rabbit horse to deceive me?" That's not your style! Why? ”

"My Guan Yu's life is my eldest brother's! Turn back and line up against the enemy! Guan Yu said coldly, turned over and let the soldiers and horses turn back to the formation, he urged the horse to come to the front of the army to press the formation, ignoring Xiahou Shang.

At this moment, the tiger and leopard cavalry in the rear and the large group of people and horses in Xiangyang City also chased over, seeing the formation of the Jingzhou army in front, and seeing Guan Yu straddle the red rabbit horse, but Xiahou Shang, who was chasing Zhuge Liang, was also missing, and couldn't help but be very panicked.

"Shoot me the arrows!" At this time, the left and right sides shouted and killed, Zhuge Liang lupine scarf stood on a high slope on the left, he waved his feather fan, and ordered the ambush in the mountains and forests on both sides, the archers led by Gao Xiang to release arrows.
