Why was there only a dozen cavalry left among the tens of thousands of elite soldiers under Guan Yu

The first is due to Guan Yu's military strategy mistakes at this time, and the second is the strategy of Eastern Wu, which made Guan Yu's soldiers disheartened and unable to fight again.

Because tens of thousands of elite soldiers were basically killed by the Eastern Wu army, it was particularly miserable.

At that time, most of the elite soldiers in Jingzhou were transferred out to fight against the Cao army, and after Lu Mengqi attacked Guan Yu, they went through several interceptions, and those who died in the battle were scattered, so there were only more than ten horsemen left among the tens of thousands of people.

Because Mi Fang's betrayal led to the discouragement of the army, many soldiers ran away, so in the end there were only about a dozen people left.

At that time, Guan Yu had already lost Jingzhou and suffered heavy losses. Only 300 people came to Maicheng (now Lianghe Town, Dangyang City, Yichang, Hubei). Guan Yu asked for help from Liu Bei, his eldest brother in Xichuan (present-day Sichuan), and Liu Bei's righteous sons Liu Feng and Meng Da in Shangyong (present-day Zhushan County, Hubei).

However, Liu Bei was far away in Xichuan, and the rescuers could not arrive on time, and Liu Feng and Meng Da did not save them when they saw death. Guan Yu had no choice but to break through, but was ambushed by Wu generals Pan Zhang, Zhu Ran and others. Guan Yu was captured by Wu Guo, and would rather die than give in, and was beheaded by Sun Quan.

The story of the Battle of Wheat City was later famous all over the world by the success or failure of Romance.

Everyone has seen the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of my country's four famous novels, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not only good-looking, but also the movies and TV series with ** as the background are very good-looking, every story in it is very exciting, such as Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched house, Zhao Yun's seven in and seven out, etc., these stories are popular stories, often get a lot of people to talk about after dinner, many people like to listen to books, listening to these stories are very moving.

Everyone knows that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu is called a martial saint, he laid down the world for Liu Bei, it can be said that Liu Bei left Guan Yu is not good, Liu Bei at the beginning, warm wine and slash Huaxiong, thousands of miles to ride alone, through five passes and six generals, etc., his credit is higher than anyone else. But Guan Yu has not lost a battle in his life, when he defeated Maicheng, after he defeated Maicheng, he led dozens of people to escape, but he was killed by Ma Zhong, the general of Eastern Wu, on the road, and he was killed in Linfang.

Linfang is not an ordinary place, he was Ma Chao's station back then, so everyone has been thinking, when Guan Yu defeated Maicheng, Ma Chao was close at hand, why didn't he save Guan Yu and watch Guan Yu being killed? Some people wonder if Guan Yu and Ma Chao have met?

Judging from the official history, before defecting to Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Ma Chao had never met, but everyone said that even if they hadn't met, the two of them worked for Liu Bei at the same time, and Ma Chao should not save Guan Yu. However, according to the official history, when Ma Chao surrendered to Liu Bei in 215 AD, Liu Bei named Ma Chao as the general of the expedition to the west, and Ma Chao began to manage Linfu in 215 AD, and Guan Yu was killed in 219 AD after defeating Maicheng, and Ma Chao was in 215-217 AD, so after Guan Yu was killed, Ma Chao had already left Linfu, so he was not in Linfu at that time, so he didn't save Guan Yu. So Guan Yu's death has nothing to do with him, and another reason is that Liu Bei did not give Ma Chao real power, Ma Chao can be said to be unable to move the army, so Liu Bei did not blame Ma Chao after Guan Yu's death.

When Guan Yu defeated Maicheng, although the horse was super distance, Guan Yu was only 10 kilometers, but at that time, he did not have a few soldiers in his hands, and he couldn't save Guan Yu with his strength, so it can be said that he was powerless.

The main reason is that Ma Chao received the news who knows if the city he is guarding will be attacked, he can't rush to the rescue, and his troops are insufficient, so he can only hold the city to avoid more losses.

This shows that Liu Bei actually treats his subordinates with intimacy, and the other is that he is a little too arrogant and does not get along well with others, so it is understandable that Ma Chao was unwilling to save him at that time.

On the one hand, it may be that the news was not in place at that time, and on the other hand, it may be that the relationship between the two of them was not very good, and according to historical records, Ma Chao should have left there at that time.

I think it's because Guan Yu is very conceited, and Liu Bei won't understand the truth that one mountain can't tolerate two tigers, Ma Chao naturally just has an empty name and no real power. Ma Chao is wary of Guan Yu.

Guan Yu and Ma Chao were also very powerful at that time, but the two of them must have excluded each other, because it is impossible for two heroes to fight the world for one lord in harmony, so it will definitely be like this.

I think that Ma Chao at that time didn't think he couldn't see it, because Ma Chao at that time was also very passive, he was guarded by others, and he couldn't save it.

The main thing is to underestimate the enemy, and he was deceived by Lu Meng's plan to deceive the world, and he despised Lu Xun.

was given by Liu Feng Mengda...This is the main reason, Liu Feng does not waver in rebellion, Guan Yu can enter the mediocrity, just with this city, these generals, Lu Meng will not be able to defeat for a while! It was Meng Dana's garbage who fanned the flames.

"Cao Cao in the north, and Sun Quan in the east" did not do a good job, mainly because they underestimated the enemy.

Guan Yu did not act according to Zhuge Liang's principle of "rejecting Cao Cao in the north, and Sun Quan in the east". Yougang won the battle, and he was too light on Dongwu.

Liu Bei wanted to save Guan Yu, but the news was blocked, and the distant water could not quench his thirst, so he couldn't reach it quickly at that time.

The story of the defeat of Mai City.

Jiangdong general Lü Meng took advantage of the confrontation between Guan Yu and Fancheng defender Cao Ren to attack Jingzhou and capture Guan Yu's base camp Jiangling. Guan Yu was attacked on both sides, and hurriedly withdrew his troops from Fancheng to the west and stationed in Maicheng.

Lü Meng adopted a strategy of division and disintegration, so that Guan Yu's soldiers had no intention of fighting and gradually dispersed. Guan Yu was isolated and helpless, and held on to Maicheng. Sun Quan sent someone to lure Guan Yu to surrender, Guan Yu pretended to surrender, set up a banner at the head of the city, pretending to be a sergeant, but he fled, only more than ten horsemen followed.

Sun Quan sent Zhu Ran and Pan Zhang to cut off Guan Yu's various ways, captured Guan Yu and his son Guan Ping in Linfu, and immediately executed them.
