C248

Gongsun Xu and Guan Yu were fighting randomly on the ground, and it looked no different from a green fight on the street, there was nothing much to talk about, there was nothing elegant at all.

Guan Yu was famous for his prestige amongst the army, which was why his subordinates were both respectful and fearful of him. When they suddenly saw that General Guan actually did not care about his image and rolling on the ground, they could not help but be stupefied, and only blankly watched from the side. They did not come up to help, nor did they take this opportunity to rush up to seize the city gate.

Bang! Bang! Then, they heard two muffled sounds. Gongsun Xu and Guan Yu staggered back five to six steps before they managed to stabilize themselves. The moment they stood up, the two of them simultaneously sent a kick towards their opponent. However, their feet just happened to collide in the air.

Guan Yu turned around and shouted angrily, "Hurry up and seize the city gates, just how long are you waiting for that moment?!" Finished, he rushed to pick up his blade and rushed towards Gongsun Xu.

Gongsun Xu raised his toes, picked up the pike on the ground, and rushed forward with a loud shout.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them started fighting once again. Their attacks were much faster than when they were on their war horses. The sounds of weapons clashing could be heard one after another.

Guan Yu's men seemed to have woken up from a dream as they circled around Gongsun Xu's and her battle group and once again rushed towards the city gate that was just inches away from them.

However, Gongsun Xu's men did not rush up to fight. Under Hou Yong's lead, they firmly guarded the city gate, with their superior equipment and fighting strength, they easily blocked the enemy's attacks. Gongsun Xu did not dare to give the order to retreat. The moment he was followed by Guan Yu's army into the city, the city would fall apart in the blink of an eye.

Guan Yu saw that his subordinates had suffered from an attack and couldn't help but feel his heart burn with anxiety. If he couldn't seize the city gates as soon as possible, once Gao Shun led his troops to reinforce them, Gongsun Xu's forces would smoothly retreat into the city. At that time, if he wanted to turn surprise attack into a forceful attack, he would have no siege equipment. Only by killing or capturing Gongsun Xu as soon as possible would their subordinates be defeated, and only then would they be able to seize the city gate!

Thinking about it, Guan Yu's face became even more gloomy, he had already exchanged more than ten moves with Gongsun Xu, but he had not obtained the slightest advantage, defeating or even capturing Gongsun Xu easily was easier said than done!

Just then, Gongsun Xu stabbed his spear towards Guan Yu's chest. Guan Yu gritted his teeth and decided to seek victory within this risk, he purposely made a mistake, and slowed his movements a little when blocking the attack.

Pfft! The spear that was supposed to have been blocked missed by half a foot or so, penetrated through the armor below Guan Yu's ribs, and left a two finger-deep gash. Blood immediately gushed out wildly.

Gongsun Xu was not only startled, according to his prediction, this spear should have been blocked by Guan Yu, but he did not expect it to have an unexpected effect! He was just about to attack again, but he did not expect Guan Yu to suddenly turn around and leave with the big blade in his hand.

"Guan Yunchang, where are you going?!"

"Who can stop me if I want to leave!?" Guan Yu did not even turn his head to say a word, and suddenly increased his speed.

Gongsun Xu was deceitful, he hurried to catch up. If he was allowed to escape back into the group, then the enemy who was showing signs of chaos would have a backbone, and the risk of the city gates falling would quickly increase. He was in a hurry to chase after and kill Guan Yu, so he did not notice the weird way the other party held the blade – logically speaking, when he turned to flee, he should have been holding the blade when doing so, but Guan Yu was holding the blade upside down. The heavy back of the blade made a deep scratch on the ground, the blade edge gleaming with a cold light.

"Kill!" Just as Gongsun Xu had caught up to him within two steps, Guan Yu quickly stopped and shouted. The big blade in his hand suddenly slashed upwards!

This blade was extremely sinister and if it struck him, he would definitely be cut into two halves. It was Guan Yu's famous consummate skill, the Dragging Sword. If Gongsun Xu did not appear, Wen Chou would have died under this move in the future. However, now that Wen Chou had been killed by Gongsun Xu, he himself had to face this ruthless slash.

When Gongsun Xu saw that Guan Yu had stopped, he knew that it was not good. He had already thought of the words' drag the sabre 'and without thinking, he used the long spear as a staff and smashed the spear in front of him with all of his strength!

Clang * Like the sound of a great bell, a loud sound reverberated through the entire arena, causing everyone nearby to feel as if their ears had been struck by thunder.

Ka-cha! * What followed was a clear cracking sound. The blade edge of the big blade in Guan Yu's hand suddenly cracked from the middle, and was actually broken by Gongsun Xu's long spear! Guan Yu's blade was made of fine iron and could be considered a rare divine weapon. However, compared to Gongsun Xu's spear that was made of fine steel, the difference was huge, so it was not strange that it would be broken by the huge impact.

Both of Gongsun Xu's hands were torn apart once again, the hands holding onto the spear had become a dark red, his arms were trembling slightly, and his chest was feeling a little stuffy. That strike earlier was too strong, and the backlash he received was no small matter.

When he attacked, he only used sixty to seventy percent of his strength. As a result, when he was smashed by Gongsun Xu's large blade, he immediately suffered a huge loss, and after the blade of the blade was broken, the tip of the blade struck the ground, causing the majority of the blade to sink into the ground. Not only that, he felt as if he had lost all feeling in his palms and arms, and the index and pinky fingers of his right hand seemed to have been broken.

Gongsun Xu was the first one to recover. He deeply regretted that Guan Yu's slash was too ruthless, and did not wait for the other party to wake up from his momentary daze. He lifted his bent longspear and thrusted it towards Guan Yu's throat. This spear attack contained hatred, he had already used all of his strength and speed, Guan Yu's blade was still in the soil, his mind was muddled, it seemed like he could not dodge this spear attack!

After Gongsun Xu unleashed his spear, he secretly sighed in his heart. He did not expect that the Guan Yu he worshipped in his previous life would actually die at his hands!

"General, be careful!" Just as the spear was about to pierce Guan Yu's throat, a soldier at the side suddenly shouted out and leaped forward to block in front of Guan Yu.

The man's chest was instantly pierced by Gongsun Xu's spear, he did not even make a sound before being killed, but Guan Yu had recovered in time, and quickly retreated with his blade.

Gongsun Xu frowned, his wrist shook and threw the corpse on the spear to the side, and then he raised his spear and wanted to chase up to and kill Guan Yu.

"Protect the general!" Guan Yu's personal guards saw the situation and rushed over, building a human wall between Gongsun Xu and himself.

Gongsun Xu's spear swept out repeatedly, instantly killing five people. However, Guan Yu's janissaries refused to retreat even if they had to die. Even though they knew that they were not Gongsun Xu's match, the dozen of people still continued to rush forward, ignoring their own deaths, they continued to cover Guan Yu and escaped from him.

After Gongsun Xu killed and injured the 20 odd janissaries, he looked up to see that Guan Yu had already retreated into the crowd. He could not help but sigh regretfully, and it seemed that he would not be able to keep Guan Yu with him tonight. But at the moment, Guan Yu was heavily injured, the manpower under his command was severely injured, and if he wanted to continue his attack on the city gates, he would not be able to do it, it seemed that he had to retreat and close the city gates.

"General, what do we do now?" A military lord looked at the unstoppable Gongsun Xu in front of the city gate, and asked Guan Yu who was tightly clutching his wound below his ribs with a trembling voice.

Guan Yu gritted his teeth as he stared at Gongsun Xu, the flames of anger burning in his eyes, if looks could kill, Gongsun Xu would have been slashed into pieces long ago. After a long while, Guan Yu tore off his clothes, covered his wounds, and coldly ordered: Get the brothers to retreat, surround the four city gates, and make plans when it's daylight!

"Here!" The military lord responded as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and quickly everyone withdrew their troops.

Clink ! The sound of clanging gold rang out, and Guan Yu's soldiers quickly retreated, giving up on fighting over the city gates.

Gongsun Xu spat out a mouthful of impure Qi, stared at the back of Guan Yu who had turned around to leave, waited until the other party had completely disappeared into the crowd of people, and then retracted his gaze, and shouted: "Return to the city, close the city gates!"

Hou Yong hurriedly brought Black Cloud over and passed the reins to Gongsun Xu.

"Help me!" Gongsun Xu did not accept the reins, and instead gave the orders in a low voice. Although he looked like nothing had happened, his arms were still sore. According to his past experience, he guessed that the muscles and bones on his arms had been injured, and it would be difficult to recover in a few days. It would be difficult to even raise his arms right now, so he didn't have the energy to get on the horse by himself.

Hou Yong was startled, but tactfully did not say anything. He first placed Gongsun Xu's long spear on the horse, and then supported Gongsun Xu onto the horse, holding onto the reins to walk towards the door.

The soldiers of the other White Horse Camp stayed behind until Gongsun Xu entered the city gate. Only then did they quickly follow him in, and the city gate closed immediately.

"Pu" At this time, Guan Yu, who was more than thirty steps away from him, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body flashed as he sat down on the ground.

"General!" The surrounding people turned pale with fright, and quickly went up to help Guan Yu.

"Don't say anything!" Guan Yu growled, and then ordered: "Have all your brothers set up camp on the spot three miles away, remember to be on alert while patrolling, prevent the enemy troops from sneaking out of the city!"

"We obey the general's orders!" Everyone quickly bowed in agreement, but their faces were extremely bitter. This time, they were determined to get the Xiao Pei, with only a small amount of supplies, it was extremely difficult to set up a camp.

Guan Yu sighed, and was about to speak up to comfort her, but suddenly he felt his vision going black, and the sky started spinning and the earth started spinning.
