That night.
Liu Bei led his army and quietly retreated. Shouchun did not notice anything and Liu Bei slipped away right under their noses.
The Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.
A voice suddenly sounded in his mind, giving Yuan Yao a fright.
[You have successfully repelled Liu Bei's attack. The System has randomly drawn an enemy Character Summon Card.]
[Mission Reward: Liu Bei Character Summon Card]
[Note: Since the host has completed the mission for the first time, the newbie will be rewarded with Guan Yu Character Summon Card, Zhang Fei Character Summon Card, and Zhao Yun Character Summon Card.]
[Note: After using the Character Summon Card, you will have all the abilities of the character for a period of time.]
"Hmm? Retreat? Why didn't I know?"
Yuan Yao was shocked.
After Yuan Yao finished speaking, he hurriedly called for the palace maid to change his clothes and then hurriedly went to the top of the city wall.
"Is there any movement from the enemy?"
Yuan Yao asked the soldier on duty.
"Your Highness, everything is normal.”
The system notification was not wrong, which meant that Liu Bei had already slipped away. It seemed that Lu Bu had succeeded.
"All troops, assemble! The enemy has already retreated. Follow me immediately to chase after them!”
The soldiers quickly gathered their troops.
The mobilization of the entire army was very loud. Qiao Rui quickly received the news and rushed to the top of the city wall.
"Your Highness, what happened? Wasn't it too hasty to chase at night? And how did His Highness know that the enemy had retreated? Why don't we send scouts out first?”
Qiao Rui felt that Yuan Yao was just fooling around, and his words were filled with distrust.
"No need. I'll explain to Master Qiao later. I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong! Go!"
Yuan Yao completely ignored Qiao Rui's question and directly gave the order as the Crown Prince, without any intention to negotiate.
"This humble subject…Yes, sir."
This was the first time Qiao Rui had seen Yuan Yao so dignified, so she didn't dare to continue arguing with him.
Leaving behind 30,000 troops to guard Shouchun, Yuan Yao led 70,000 troops out and quickly arrived at Liu Bei's camp.
"Report!"
"Your Highness, there are no men or horses in the enemy camp. They have all withdrawn.”
"All troops, pursue! Anyone who kills Liu Bei will be rewarded with a thousand gold!"
Yuan Yao immediately issued a kill order.
The 70,000 strong army followed the direction Liu Bei had fled in.
Both Liu Bei and Yuan Yao did not have cavalry. Xuzhou and Yangzhou were not places where horses were produced.
Apart from some high-ranking generals, the rest of the soldiers were infantry.
However, Liu Bei's army attacked the city during the day and had to escape at night. Their physical strength was naturally inferior to the soldiers guarding the city.
By the time the sun rose, Yuan Yao could already see Liu Bei's rear.
"Chase after him! The enemy was right ahead! Those who kill the enemy will be heavily rewarded!"
Yuan Yao used his military merits to motivate his soldiers, instantly boosting their morale.
On the other hand, the morale of Liu Bei's side was extremely low.
They had been fighting for the whole day, and they had started their journey without rest at night. Now that they were caught up by the enemy, it was inevitable that they would be anxious.
"F * ck! Big brother! The enemy is catching up."
Zhang Fei hurriedly said.
"Big brother, I'm willing to cover the rear."
"My lord, Yunyuan will cover the rear."
Guan Yu and Zhao Yun said.
"Big brother, me too!"
Zhang Fei was unwilling to be left behind.
"Alright, the three of you are the enemy of ten thousand men on the battlefield. I won't say much, but the three of you just have to be careful.”
"Here!" 3
The three of them agreed in unison, each leading their own troops and turning around to attack Yuan Yao's army.
The two sides immediately engaged in battle. Yuan Yao's side had the absolute advantage in numbers, and the other side couldn't even raise their heads.
"Yide Zilong, there are too many people on the other side. Why don't we capture the thief and capture the king!”
Guan Yu said to the two of them.
"Alright!" 2
The two of them immediately agreed. The three of them were the enemy of ten thousand men. Taking the heads of the enemy generals in the midst of ten thousand generals was as easy as taking them out of a bag. This was their strength.
Guan Yu rode his horse in the lead, while Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun guarded the flanks. The three of them were like an arrow heading straight for Yuan Yao.
"Your Highness, the three people opposite are coming for you. A son of a thousand gold can't sit in the hall. You should avoid them.”
Qiao Rui advised.
"No need. We're still so far away. The other party might not be able to kill us.”
Yuan Yao didn't take it to heart. He felt that the saying of ten thousand people fighting was exaggerated.
Guan Zhangzhao was definitely fierce, but not too abnormal.
However, Yuan Yao soon regretted his decision. Guan, Zhang, and Zhao were like three sharp sickles, falling to the ground wherever they passed. Yuan Yao was now less than a thousand feet away from them.
"Your Highness, it's better for you to avoid it.”
Qiao Rui hurriedly persuaded.
Yuan Shu only had one son. If he died here, Qiao Rui would definitely be implicated.
"No, it would have been fine if we had dodged just now, but if we retreat now, wouldn't that mean that we're afraid of the other party and it's not good for the morale of the army?”
Yuan Yao had a certain amount of confidence. With four Character Summon Cards in hand, he was not afraid at all.
Qiao Rui saw that Yuan Yao was so obstinate and was so anxious that she stomped her feet, but there was nothing she could do.
Seeing that Guan, Zhang, and Zhao were getting closer and closer to Yuan Yao, Yuan Yao could not help but feel his heart in his throat. He was ready to use his Character Summon Card at any time.
"Brothers, protect the Crown Prince! Follow me!"
The guard beside Yuan Yao shouted.
This was the personal guard that Yuan Shu had sent to Yuan Yao. Yuan Shu was also worried about his son going to the battlefield.
When Liu Bei attacked, Yuan Shu had sent 500 soldiers to protect Yuan Yao in case anything happened on the city wall.
These 500 people quickly charged into the battlefield, forming groups of two as they charged towards Guan, Zhang, and Zhao.
"Eh? Why did this scene look so familiar?”
Yuan Yao suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.
The 500 personal guards quickly exchanged blows with Guan, Zhang, and Zhao. Moreover, as soon as the personal guards attacked, Yuan Yao knew what was going on.
The personal guards in pairs worked very well together. Usually, two people would attack at the same time, directly attacking the three generals.
"F * ck, isn't this Old Yuan's usual 'Fork Out' troop?”
It was one of Yuan Shu's three hobbies.
These five hundred people were very proficient in this technique. The moment they attacked, they charged straight at the three generals 'mounts. In a few exchanges, the three of them were all dismounted.
In this short period of time, the five hundred personal guards had lost at least a hundred men. However, without their mounts, the three generals were no longer a threat to Yuan Yao.
"Damn you! Where did this group of people come from? You don't care about martial arts!"
Zhang Fei cursed angrily.
"Stop talking nonsense. There's no chance. Retreat first!”
Guan Yu was also in a rather sorry state. He was about to kill the general and seize the flag, but he did not expect an evil thing to appear halfway.
The three of them quickly stood back to back, forming a formation of two horns, slowly breaking out of the encirclement.
