BSI Chapter 92 Slaying Wen Chou
Chapter 92 Slaying Wen Chou
Early morning.
The sky was just beginning to lighten, and the world was still shrouded in a hazy mist.
Wen Chou personally led his men to ambush Kaiyang a dozen miles away.
They waited all night, but there was no movement from Kaiyang City.
Not only that.
The other troops he deployed also gained nothing; instead, their morale plummeted due to exhaustion from the night's work and problems with supplies.
Now, let alone fighting a war, even effectively organizing troops is a problem.
"This is outrageous..." Wen Chou slammed his fist on a nearby tree and shouted angrily as he looked toward Kaiyang City.
at this time.
The soldiers who had stayed with him all night collapsed to the ground without exception.
Now that they are exhausted, they don't even have the strength to retreat.
The core reason why things turned out this way is that the main supply depot was destroyed, which was seen by everyone.
All the soldiers knew that they were about to run out of food. Under such circumstances, how could they possibly exert their fighting power?
At this point, Wen Chou realized that something was wrong and immediately ordered the entire army to retreat.
We can't worry about too much right now. We need to get out of here and back to Jizhou to resupply before we talk about what to do next.
"Everyone, listen up! Pack your gear immediately and leave as quickly as possible!"
Wen Chou waved his hand and immediately ordered his men to bring over warhorses in preparation for action.
But he soon discovered that the soldiers lying on the ground were completely unmoved by his orders.
They seemed... to lack even the strength to stand up!
"Whoosh!"
Wen Chou drew his longsword and roared, "Anyone who disobeys orders will be court-martialed immediately!"
Only after this point were the soldiers reluctantly stood up and began to retreat extremely slowly.
Even so, most people's gazes toward Wen Chou began to change.
It was no longer awe, but anger that had been suppressed with all its might!
at the same time.
Xun Yu, who was resting, was awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps outside.
He suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed the coat next to him, put it on, and went out.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xiahou Dun rushing in.
"Sir, something terrible has happened..." Xiahou Dun said before even getting close.
"What's wrong?" Xun Yu asked, frowning as he looked at him.
This guy just looks anxious, but he's obviously faking it.
"Guan Yu has led his troops out of the city without authorization to pursue and kill Wen Chou!"
"What? Why didn't you stop him?"
"As you know, sir, Guan Yu is not one of our men. He came here specifically to help on the imperial decree. We can't possibly force him to stay!"
"Besides, he's doing this to help us solve our problem..."
Before Xiahou Dun could finish speaking, Xun Yu let out a cold snort!
"General Xiahou, what can I say about you?"
"What time is it? Still throwing a tantrum? Do you know why we've been preventing Guan Yu from making a move? It's so we can legitimately keep him here!"
"If there are any victories today, he will never return!"
Xun Yu never spoke very frankly about anything related to Guan Yu.
in fact.
He wanted to use this method to provoke Xiahou Dun and make him maintain his proper state.
In this way, we can both keep Guan Yu and train him!
But I never expected it.
At the most crucial moment, Xiahou Dun was surprisingly muddle-headed.
"What?"
"Quickly send troops to pursue them!" Xun Yu didn't have time to explain much.
Xiahou Dun also realized that he might have made a mistake.
He immediately turned and left, then led his army out of the city as quickly as possible.
however.
He's too slow.
Guan Yu and his troops had long since vanished completely...
……
"Speed up, everyone!"
"If we continue like this, and the enemy catches up, we'll be doomed!"
Wen Chou, mounted on his warhorse, kept urging the army to advance.
Actually.
By this point, even he could sense the unusual atmosphere within the army.
So much so that they dared not be too assertive when speaking.
This creates a vicious cycle!
The soldiers could also sense his emotions. If the commander-in-chief didn't dare to restrain his subordinates too much, what kind of authority would he have?
"General, I told you before that there was no need to deliberately set up an ambush. Now, not only has it delayed our retreat, but it has also given them the opportunity to strike!"
"But... if we had retreated earlier, none of this would have happened, right?"
"What's the use of urging us now? If someone catches up, we'll all die!"
"..."
The generals were full of complaints, and more and more soldiers began to sit directly on both sides of the road, refusing to walk any further no matter what they were told.
If they continue to flee like this, without any supplies, they will likely die on the way.
But staying here and waiting to surrender at least guarantees survival.
This is not a question of whether or not to surrender, or a matter of stance.
It's not about whether we have enough to eat to survive!
Wen Chou, carrying his broadsword, watched as more and more soldiers sat on the road.
After a brief hesitation, he did not urge him any further, but silently spurred his horse forward.
At this point, nothing you say will make a difference; you might as well give up on them.
then.
He led a very small group of people and sped up, rushing forward quickly.
Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind, and even the ground was covered in dust.
The soldiers who had been slumped on both sides of the road showed no fear upon hearing the commotion; instead, they revealed a hint of excitement.
Someone's coming... which means they can be saved!
What followed was a very strange scene: Wen Chou's soldiers actually lined the road to welcome the army that was charging forward.
As Guan Yu rode his warhorse, he looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but sneer.
He had thought Wen Chou might be in a sorry state, but he hadn't expected it to have come to this.
After charging forward for some distance, Guan Yu immediately ordered a small group of men to stay behind with the army and distribute the rations that accompanied the army to them.
This is a golden opportunity to win people's hearts!
Bringing Wen Chou's troops under our command might yield intelligence that could benefit our lord!
And Guan Yu's thoughts were exactly as Xun Yu had analyzed!
After killing Wen Chou, he can leave with a legitimate reason!
With their strong and well-equipped army, they could hunt down Wen Chou with virtually no effort.
However, just over fifteen minutes later, the exhausted Yuan army was quickly surrounded.
Wen Chou gripped his broadsword tightly, urging his warhorse, which was already reluctant to move, to stay in place and keep circling.
He watched helplessly as Guan Yu completely isolated him from his men.
"Will you dismount and surrender yourself, or do you want me to take action?" Guan Yu looked at him with icy eyes.
The murderer who killed Yan Liang was right in front of him, yet he was in such a predicament.
Wen Chou was filled with such hatred!
Even so, he was unwilling to give up this opportunity!
"Prepare to die..." Wen Chou swung his broadsword and charged forward with all his might.
however.
In a state of extreme exhaustion, he was no match for Guan Yu.
In just one round, his head flew high into the air and rolled quite a distance...
