Finally, Zhou Yu pointed to a location on the map.
Guan Yu's army was already exhausted and lacked supplies. If they continued to pursue, Zhou Tai, Ding Feng and others would surely find a weakness in their defenses!
"Lu Meng, after Zhou Tai and Ding Feng succeed, you will lead 30,000 troops to pursue Guan Yu!"
"Remember, you can only chase him, not kill him!"
Zhou Yu wasn't stupid. At this time, Sun Quan and Liu Bei were still allies. If they attacked and captured the city, Liu Bei would only suffer in silence, because the Battle of Hanzhong was not over yet, and the Sun-Liu alliance would continue.
But if Guan Yu were killed, things would be different. If Guan Yu died, Liu Bei would surely be furious.
If Liu Bei attacks Jiangdong, the only one who will benefit is Cao Cao!
"Yes!" Lü Meng replied with a cupped hand, his heart filled with excitement. He had long wanted to fight Guan Yu, and now the opportunity had finally arrived.
At this point, Guan Yu was already at his wit's end. Zhou Tai and Ding Feng attacked from the flank, instantly scattering Guan Yu's army.
In desperation, Guan Ping ordered his men to take Guan Yu away from there.
Although Guan Yu was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.
He could only lead his remaining troops to flee towards Nanjun, hoping to find reinforcements.
Meanwhile, Lü Meng pursued all the way and soon caught up with Guan Yu's remaining troops.
However, Guan Yu's soldiers were also exhausted at this moment, running continuously and their strength was almost depleted.
"Hold on, brothers! We're almost at Nanjun!" Guan Ping roared.
Everyone echoed this sentiment, gritting their teeth and running tirelessly towards Nanjun.
Lu Meng frowned, watching Guan Yu's soldiers gradually disappear into the distance. Recalling Guan Yu's humiliation of their Jiangdong army, a murderous intent rose in his heart.
He knew that if Guan Yu were allowed to enter Nanyang alive, the Jiangdong army would surely suffer Guan Yu's revenge in the future.
Thinking of this, he immediately ordered, "All troops, listen to my command! Pursue him and kill Guan Yu!"
"General, didn't the Grand Commander order us to only pursue and not kill Guan Yu?" asked the adjutant beside Lü Meng, puzzled.
Lu Meng said coldly, "Guan Yu is already at his last gasp, and coupled with hunger, he is no match for us! If we let him go back to the mountains, we will definitely face many troubles in the future. We cannot take the risk!"
"But......"
"A general in the field may disobey orders from others; listen to me!" Lü Meng rebuked angrily.
"Yes, sir!" the lieutenant said reluctantly.
Soon, Lü Meng led 30,000 troops from Jiangdong in a frenzied pursuit of Guan Yu. However, Guan Yu was already exhausted and was only sustained by his strong will; otherwise, he would have collapsed long ago.
The original plan was to drive Guan Yu away, but Lü Meng took it upon himself to kill Guan Yu, giving Guan Yu no chance to catch his breath.
The relentless pursuit further exhausted Guan Yu's remaining troops!
As Guan Yu's soldiers drew ever closer, Lü Meng's face twisted in rage. He thought of how, if he could kill Guan Yu, he would become famous and achieve unparalleled merit! Instantly, his blood boiled, and his killing intent soared to the heavens!
"My lads, follow me to hunt down Guan Yu! Whoever takes Guan Yu's head will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold, and be ennobled as a marquis and appointed as a general!" Lü Meng shouted.
The guards beside Lü Meng shouted, which immediately boosted their morale.
Guan Yu was already exhausted, and now, provoked by Lü Meng, his eyes turned bloodshot!
Lu Meng's army surrounded them, but Guan Yu charged forward without hesitation. In an instant, Guan Yu seemed to transform into a demon god, his Green Dragon Crescent Blade unstoppable! Any soldier who touched him fell from their horse! Corpses piled up like mountains around Guan Yu! Blood stained the earth red!
Guan Yu was now in a bloodthirsty frenzy, completely fearless of death!
Even so, Guan Yu, no matter how powerful, could not withstand an enemy several times his size.
"Father, let's break through!" Guan Ping cried out in anguish.
Upon hearing this, Guan Yu felt bitter. He knew that he would probably die today, but he was unwilling to be defeated by those Jiangdong rats!
Guan Yu raised his Green Dragon Crescent Blade and slashed fiercely, instantly clearing the area within hundreds of paces.
"Kill! Kill them all!" Lu Meng shouted excitedly.
Guan Yu's eyes were bloodshot, and his Green Dragon Crescent Blade slashed down on the enemy's neck with unstoppable force, instantly severing his head and spraying blood all over Guan Yu's head.
At this moment, Guan Yu's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a demon from hell.
"Pfft!" Guan Yu swung his Green Dragon Crescent Blade incessantly, each swing sending up countless sprays of blood and reaping countless lives.
But his stamina was waning, and Guan Yu gradually showed signs of fatigue, his speed also decreased significantly, and many soldiers took the opportunity to attack.
"General, the enemy forces are too numerous, we are surrounded!" Zhou Cang said.
Guan Yu's eyes shone brightly as he replied in a deep voice, "I, Guan Yu, have fought alongside you all in the military. How could I be defeated by those Jiangdu rats? I will lead you out of here!"
Guan Yu brandished his Green Dragon Crescent Blade and led his remaining three hundred soldiers in a desperate charge!
But Lü Meng was not flustered. On the contrary, he felt very satisfied looking at Guan Yu's appearance!
"Haha, Guan Yu, you've finally met your match!" Lü Meng laughed heartily.
At this point, Guan Yu was exhausted and covered in wounds.
Guan Yu looked at Lü Meng with eyes full of anger, wishing he could tear Lü Meng to pieces.
He vowed that if he could break through the encirclement, he would absolutely tear these petty thieves to pieces.
"General, Guan Yu has opened a breach!" the lieutenant said to Lü Meng.
"It doesn't matter, let him keep running!" Lu Meng said nonchalantly.
He was now completely confident of victory, and he was simply toying with Guan Yu!
As night fell, Guan Yu led his remaining troops and finally reached Nan Commandery.
