The mission was about to be completed, and Xu Zhang's tense nerves finally relaxed. He yawned.
"I'm really exhausted."
Liu Zhong smiled and said,
"Yes, although it's a great merit.
However, this journey was really torturous. He was still worried that something would happen. Now, he was finally relieved!”
Xu Zhang stretched his muscles and bones on the horse's back, feeling proud."
"South County is already in our hands. Guan Yu has been captured. What else can happen?
We'll be arriving at Jiangling soon. We'll have a good drink when we get back! Have a good sleep!"
Liu Zhong laughed loudly and shouted to the soldiers behind him,"
"Brothers, keep your spirits up. We will reach Jiangling in the afternoon.
He had to persevere for a while longer. After he handed in the mission, he would have a good rest.
If you're hungry, you can just eat on the way. The ladies at home must be waiting anxiously, right?”
The soldiers roared with laughter and suddenly became lively.
All of them wanted to rush to Jiangling immediately, and the fatigue on their bodies was swept away.
No one complained about this. Instead of sitting in the deep mountains and worrying about suffering, they were afraid that they would die.
He might as well endure it and completely relax in the city.
Guan Yu couldn't help but sigh when he heard Liu Zhong's words.
Perhaps he had really come to an end. He did not expect his reputation to go down the drain just like that!
The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the eastern sky turned from white to pale gold.
The morning sun was about to rise.
A thin layer of mist rose from the forest in front of them. The surrounding scenery could not be seen clearly, only some blurry outlines could be seen.
Along the way, there was a lot of noise from the Wu soldiers, all talking about where the wine was good.
Which brothel girl had the taste to talk about happy things?
Everyone laughed together, and Xu Zhang and Liu Zhong did not stop them.
It was time for them to relax after being on tenterhooks along the way.
Guan Yu lowered his head to look at the grass that had been stepped on, but he stubbornly raised his head again. Suddenly, his heart moved.
This was an instinctive vigilance of a martial artist, and it was also the experience he had accumulated from countless battles!
This unusual atmosphere could only be felt at his level.
It was as if there was an ambush around them, like a group of wild beasts.
He was staring at the Wu army that passed by. The deeper they went, the stronger the sense of danger.
The mountains on both sides were steep, and there was only one canyon ahead.
The middle area was more spacious. Guan Yu's heart couldn't help but beat wildly, and his breathing became a little hurried.
It had been a long time since he had been so excited and nervous. It had only been the first time he had gone to the battlefield to kill the Yellow Turbans.
The other time was when he was fighting against Lu Bu, after which he killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
His heart was always calm, but now it was beating so fast that even he could not control himself!
Who could be the one lying in ambush here?
It's definitely not the soldiers of Dongwu, so it might be reinforcements. Finally, someone has come to save me?
Who could it be? The possibility of Liu Feng is not high. He seems to know my dissatisfaction and rejection of him.
Moreover, the last time he sent someone to ask Liu Feng to send troops, he was also rejected. With his personality, he probably would not come to save him.
Who could it be?
Guan Yu's phoenix eyes kept opening and closing, sparkling brightly as he observed his surroundings without batting an eyelid.
Suddenly, his eyelids drooped down weakly and he sighed to himself.
If Liao Hua had gathered the remaining soldiers to save them, it would have been useless.
Just as he was thinking about all the possibilities, a scream suddenly sounded in front of him.
Liu Zhong, who was riding at the front, fell off his horse. Wu Jun did not understand what was going on.
A few more people fell off their horses, and their horses neighed in shock.
The Wu army was still making a ruckus when they were suddenly ambushed.
Before they could even react, the valley instantly fell silent.
All of them were dumbfounded. Xu Zhang stood up from the grass, drew his sword, and roared,
" There's an ambush! Prepare to defend against the enemy!"
With this shout, the Wu army fell into complete chaos.
In his haste, he didn't even have time to take out his weapon. Another rain of arrows shot out from the forest on both sides, and the whooshing sound of the wind was terrifying.
The rain of arrows was only aimed at the front and back of the group. Guan Yu, who was in the middle, was not in any danger.
In a critical moment, he shouted at Guan Ping, who was still in a daze,
"Ping 'er, quickly lie down!"
Xu Zhang finally found his mount and climbed onto it. He roared,
"Everyone, don't panic. They are just some defeated soldiers.
In the forest on both sides, they split into two teams and charged forward from the left and right!”
The Wu army hastily formed a formation in twos and threes, and upon hearing the order, they prepared to charge to both sides of the road.
A rumbling sound came from behind him, like muffled thunder.
It was the sound of cavalry. How could these soldiers not know?
Wu Jun's expression changed drastically as he fled to the sides of the road.
If they were rammed by the galloping cavalry, no matter how many lives they had, it would not be enough.
The chaotic Wu army was killed by the archers lying in ambush in the forest.
Being attacked from both sides and unprepared, the already exhausted Wu army had long lost their morale.
Guan Yu saw that the Wu Army was in a mess and immediately brought Guan Ping to the left slope.
No matter who it was, it was more important to escape at this time.
