From the Kaifeng Mansion City Tower, it was visible to the naked eye that people from both sides kept falling from their horses in the battlefield, but the number of people in the Northern Army Hussars who were shot and fell was obviously several times more than that of the other side. This made the Northern Army Commander Li Chun, who was watching the battle on the city tower,

The muscles on his face were constantly twitching and shaking.

Every time a member of the hussars was struck and dismounted, it made him feel distressed.

But he had to snatch back Guan Yu's head, not only because Guan Yu was the son of Guan Shan, the commander-in-chief of Guan, but also because the head of a general of the Northern Army was hanging blatantly outside the city. This kind of humiliating

This behavior will be a devastating blow to the morale of the city.

Leading the Northern Army's Hussars Regiment into the battle was Ye Chenfei, the commander of the Hussars Brigade. He was a veteran cavalry general born in Guandong. At the moment of the encounter, he could judge the gap in combat power between the two sides.

The number of both sides is basically the same. They are both an integrated cavalry regiment with 1,67 people, but the weapons and equipment of the other side are too strong.

When his chance was gone, he immediately divided his troops into two, and each faced the opponents coming from both sides. However, he only led a few personal guards and rushed straight to the tall bamboo pole in the center of the battlefield.

He knew what Commander Li Chun was thinking. Even if all the more than a thousand cavalry were damaged outside the city, General Guan Yu's head would still have to be brought back with all his life.

The two cavalry teams finally approached, abandoning their guns and holding their knives.

The Confederate Army's special agents all use custom-made sabers. This saber is longer than an ordinary saber. Not only the blade but also the handle are lengthened to make it easier to hold with both hands.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Confederate Army's special agent group charged, holding their sabers horizontally with both hands.

"Da da da... da da..."

"..."

When the enemy's and ours' cavalry were about to collide, the entire cavalry of the special agent group suddenly turned and completed the turn simply by relying on their legs. The horizontal saber cut the horse like a mow with the powerful impact of the horse.

The opponent was cut off his horse.

"Porchi...porchi..."

"..."

The officers and soldiers of the special agent regiment did not need to use much strength. They only needed to hold the sword firmly with both hands and drag it diagonally.

The Hussars suffered heavy losses.

Ye Chenfei ignored all of this. He only stared at the bamboo pole. He stepped forward on horseback and slashed with the long knife in his hand. The bamboo pole dropped down section by section until he could reach out and pick it.

Ye Chenfei reached out and took Guan Yu's head, stuffed it into the cloth bag that had been prepared, and ran back.

At this time, he noticed that the two hussars he had divided to resist on the left and right had been squeezed in the middle by the Confederate cavalry, leaving very little room for maneuver.

Ye Chenfei was also a fierce warrior. He roared, spread out his long sword, and danced like a windmill, knocking down several knights of the secret service regiment in front of him, and actually made him rush out.

Tang Hu immediately noticed this Northern Army warrior. He circled his horse's head from one side, held up the wild goose feather sword that Chen Tianhua rewarded him, and flew towards Ye Chen.

"Dangdang..."

"..."

The battle is fierce and the sparks are flying.

The moment the two horses crossed each other, the knives in their hands had already collided several times.

Ye Chenfei was so shocked that his mouth went numb, and the long knife in his hand almost flew away, feeling horrified.

Fortunately, the two horses crossed each other and passed each other. Ye Chenfei mustered up his courage and took the opportunity to fight back and knock over a Confederate knight who was blocking the way. With the assistance of several of his guards, he squeezed out of the way.

A passage, running towards the city gate.

Here, Tang Hu also knocked down several Northern Army hussars who were blocking the way. He turned his horse's head and saw Ye Chenfei fleeing on horseback. He couldn't help but became furious. He tapped the horse's belly with his heel spur and started chasing after him.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves behind him, Ye Chenfei took out the mirror and clicked it twenty times, click, click, click... and pulled the trigger.

Tang Hu was startled, and his body suddenly fell to the left. Half of his body was hanging on the left side of the horse, and bullets whizzed past the horse.

When he stood upright from the horse's belly, Ye Chenfei was already far away. He couldn't help but become furious, pointing at the retreating figure and swearing angrily.

The general fled the battlefield, and the remaining Union hussars lost their fighting spirit and fled back on horseback.

The Confederate Special Agent Group chased after them, took out their rifles and fired again, and another large number of the Confederate Hussars fell.

However, Tang Hu seemed quite frustrated. Not only did he lose Guan Yu's head, but the enemy's cavalry also fled back.

He returned to the military camp dejectedly and went straight to Chen Tianhua in the commander's tent to apologize!

Chen Tianhua was in a good mood, he laughed and said:

"In the first battle, nearly a thousand enemies were killed, and the enemy leader fled in disgrace. Our army suffered no more than a hundred casualties. What's your fault? That guy who escaped will one day be the one who fell under your sword."

"Besides, if Guan Yu is dead, what's the value of his head? Letting the other party take it back can be regarded as my respect for Guan Yu's death. Someone, please use Guan Yu's body.

The coffin is packed and taken to the city for them."

"As you command!"

An adjutant came out of the tent to give orders.

Ye Chenfei returned to the city sweating profusely, took off the cloth bag at the city gate, got off his horse, knelt down on one knee, raised the cloth bag with both hands, and silently handed it to Guan Shan in front of him.

Holding the cloth bag containing Guan Yu's head tightly in his arms, Guan Shan burst into tears and bowed deeply to Ye Chenfei.

Ye Chenfei hurriedly turned away, refusing to accept Commander Guan's courtesy.

Seeing Guan Shan staggering towards the city and heading to the temporary official residence in Kaifeng Mansion, Ye Chenfei also felt sad.

The white-haired man sent the black-haired man away, this series of blows, I don't know if this respected veteran of the Beiyang Department can withstand this series of blows.

"Let the carpenters in the city carve a body for General Guan Yu and bury it with his head!" Li Chun on the tower also ordered with a painful expression.

Just as the adjutant was about to turn around and leave, a soldier on the city shouted loudly: "Commander Li, the soldiers of the Southern Army are here again!"

Li Chun and Ye Chenfei were both worried. Could it be that the Confederate Army was about to attack the city at this moment? They hurried back to the city wall to take a look, only to see two Confederate Army soldiers driving an ox cart.

There is a high-quality coffin in the car, which is slowly approaching the east city gate.

"Listen up, people on the top of the city. My commander pities General Guan Yu and admires him as a hero. He cannot bear to see him buried without a body. I hereby give the general's body back."

The soldier had a loud voice and shouted at the top of his voice, but the people in the city could hear him clearly.

After shouting, the two of them jumped out of the cart, untied the rope slowly and slowly, leaving the cart in place, holding the old cow, and waddled back.

Of course no one fired on the city walls.

Li Chun's face was ashen, and Ye Chenfei was also mumbling, but he didn't know what he was talking about.

The soldiers on the city looked at each other in confusion.

Just for the sake of a head, a total of thousands of people from both sides were buried under the city, and a regiment of hussars was killed in a unilateral attack on the city, losing nearly 900 men.

But in the blink of an eye, the other party sent the body back unconditionally.

"Open the city gate and retrieve General Guan Yu's body!" Li Chun ordered with a sullen face, punched the city wall fiercely, turned around and walked down the city.
Chapter completed!
