Chapter 37 Kong Ming left a plan, Guan Yu sent the city
Cao Hong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked towards the city head with a confused look.

After a while, he suddenly figured out the situation in Xinye City.

A look of anger instantly appeared on his face, and he shouted:
"That's bad! Guan Yu actually tricked me!"

"You don't even have the guts to go out of the city and fight me!"

"You actually ran away at dawn?!"

"Fucking cowards!"

Seeing Cao Hong yelling and swearing, I was so angry that I jumped on the spot!
Xia Houyuan's eyes were full of complex colors.

Although he can easily capture this new field city now.

Complete the military mission entrusted to him by his elder brother.

But the problem is that Guan Yu is so greedy for life and afraid of death, which makes Xia Houyuan somewhat disappointed!

After all, if Guan Yu doesn't resist desperately if his own army is pressing down on the border.

How could he achieve Xia Houyuan's reputation as a brave champion of the three armies?
But fortunately, if the other party escaped at dawn, he must not have gone far yet!
Thinking of this, Xia Houyuan couldn't wait to wave the sword in his hand!
He gave an order to the army behind him:
"Brothers! Guan Yu didn't dare to fight our army, so he abandoned the city and fled!"

"I will capture Xinye quickly and then pursue Liu Bei and others!"

"If you make great achievements by then, I will definitely give you a heavy reward from this general!"

Hearing Xia Houyuan's order, tens of thousands of troops were behind him.

Suddenly there were cheers one after another!
The solemn atmosphere of the previous siege was instantly dispersed!
Before the expedition, they had learned that the number of troops defending the city in Xinye was only 5,000.

And his own army has 50,000 troops, plus Cao Hong's 8,000 men.

This is almost a win-win situation!
But the problem is that siege warfare is the most difficult battle to fight.

No matter how big the advantage is, unless the opponent surrenders in Kaicheng.

Otherwise, if you attack the city by force, people will definitely die!

Those two thousand unfair comrades who died in the morning were cannon fodder for the siege!

And who can guarantee that he will not be cannon fodder in the first wave of siege?

Now, hearing that Guan Yu has escaped, they can take Xinye without any bloodshed.

For these low-level soldiers, this is undoubtedly very good news!

At this time, under Xia Houyuan's order.

A commander led the team pulling the siege vehicle, approaching the tall city gate.

When dozens of soldiers used the giant wood of the attack vehicle to slam into the closed city gate.

It seems that the city gates of Xinye are not bolted.

Cao Bing rushed away easily without even the slightest obstruction!

When Cao Hong saw this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared!
He spat a mouthful of phlegm on the spot!
"Bah! Why are you an enemy of ten thousand people? You've delayed me all morning!"

"And Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang! They are all a bunch of spineless things!"

"You don't even have the confidence to fight to the death, but you dare to become an enemy of our army?"

"Our eldest brother must have misjudged the big-eared thief back then!"

Xia Houyuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, waved his hand and ordered without saying anything:
"The entire army is on alert and entering the city in batches to prevent fraud in the city!"

Cao Hong was speechless when he heard this, and felt that Xia Houyuan was too cautious!

Everyone is running away, what else is there to be afraid of?

If there was really an ambush, he would have been caught in the morning!
He immediately took the lead and led his brothers who had fought hard all morning to march straight in!
Seeing that the eight thousand people were fine, Xia Houyuan's men rushed into the city.

After entering the city, Xia Houyuan looked around.

I found that the entire Xinye City was completely silent!

The entire city seemed to have been evacuated overnight!
This situation also made Cao Hong next to him curse again:

"Mom! This Liu Bei really deserves his reputation!"

"He ran so fast! He even took away the people in the city!"

"They don't even leave any rare land for us! It's really hard to dig!"

Xia Houyuan frowned when he heard this. It seemed that Guan Yu had really run away!

Then he ordered: "Take over other city gates quickly!"

"Be careful of corpses in the city! If you encounter any, handle them with care!"

"Don't let any omissions pass by!" All the soldiers seemed to have been relieved of a huge burden upon hearing this.

Follow Xia Houyuan and enter Xinye City.

It took half a stick of incense to wait.

Only then did some of his soldiers come to report: There is no ambush in the city!

And according to what the old, young, sick and disabled in the city said.

Liu Bei's army withdrew last night!

Before leaving, he even took away most of the people in the city!
As for Guan Yu, at noon today, after Cao Hong stopped attacking the city, he had already led his troops to withdraw!
After hearing this, Cao Hong couldn't sit still!

"What a Guan Yu! How dare you play with me like this!"

"See if I don't chase him and chop off his head!"

After saying that, he was ready to pick up weapons and lead his men out of the south gate to chase Guan Yu!

But he was suddenly held down by Xia Houyuan!
"Wait a minute, Zi Lian! I won't bother you with chasing Guan Yu!"

"You can clean up the city here to prepare for the follow-up army."

"Let me take out this bad breath for you!"

After saying that, without waiting for Cao Hong's reply, he picked up his long sword and mounted his horse again!

Cao Hong was stunned when he saw it!

But he could only stay in the city obediently, and his heart became even more depressed and unfair!
There is no way, who can say that I was careless for a moment.

Guan Yu actually let Guan Yu run away quietly!
If only a few more scouts had been released to investigate.

Or if you give it another try, you can get Guan Yu's head!

You won’t be arranged to work as a support person here!
And Xia Houyuan didn't care how unwilling Cao Hong was.

I just feel that now is the time!

Since Guan Yu didn't even bother to ambush, he must have fled in a hurry!
But Guan Yu doesn't care if Liu Bei is allowed to escape into Jingxiang.

Then my eldest brother Meng De, the prime minister, shouldn't he scold himself to death in front of all the civil and military officials afterwards?
Fortunately, the opponent turned out to be exactly as Sima De expected.

In order to gain fame for a while, he really fled with his people.

As a result, he probably won't be able to run very far.

And running after the enemy is Xia Houyuan's specialty!

As long as Liu Bei hasn't run out of Jiangbei, there is still hope!
Thinking of this, Xia Houyuan also ordered all 50,000 soldiers under his command to come out!

If you can't see Liu Bei's head today, you will definitely not be able to rest!

Xia Houyuan's 50,000-strong army are all cavalry, and they are all the best among the best.

Under Xia Houyuan's command, he quickly pursued Guan Yu in the direction he left!

At this moment, Guan Yu was fleeing south with thousands of remaining soldiers under his command.

The soldiers under his command were also exhausted.

They lost many people in the fierce fighting in the morning.

Now there are even more casualties!

All of them were panting and pale.

Especially some people are sweating profusely and their lips are blue!

It's obvious that he has been infected by the plague!

Guan Yu saw that his soldiers were exhausted.

At this time, he also looked at the surrounding environment, and then took out a bag of tips from his arms.

This was before the army withdrew last night.

Military advisor Zhuge Liang specially ordered his soldiers to hand over what he had in hand, saying that he would act according to the plan in his bag.

I remember the last sentence in it: Lure the enemy deep and attack him unprepared!
Guan Yu just sighed, if it weren't for this thing.

Why was he like a lost dog, surrendering the new field to the enemy?
According to his temperament in imprisoning someone, he was not allowed to cut off Cao Hong's dog's head before leaving?
At this moment, Guan Yu looked up with tired eyes.

But they saw a cavalry force of nearly a thousand people appearing in front of them!
The leader was wearing bright silver armor and had a white dragon colt on his hip!

Seeing this situation, Guan Yu immediately relaxed and felt calm.
