Chapter five hundred and seventy-ninth wit Guan Yu
Chapter 579 The witty Guan Yu
"clang."
The clash of swords and halberds resounded throughout the battlefield. Guan Yu's huge strength, which he was proud of, was a bit ineffective when facing Dian Wei, because this was a character who could wave the fang flag and break through the village wall.
After one strike, Guan Yu twisted his hand and slashed at Dian Wei for the second time. Dian Wei also used his left halberd to block Guan Yu's Yanyue Sword, and then his right halberd was like a bolt of lightning, piercing Guan Yu's face.
Seeing Dian Wei's iron halberd coming towards him, the Yanyue Sword immediately struck out again, splitting Dian Wei's iron halberd, and then the Yanyue Sword slashed horizontally again, slicing Dian Wei's face straight.
"clang."
Dian Wei used both halberds to block the Yanyue Sword, then swung it aside with force, and then stabbed Guan Yu in the chest with both halberds.
Guan Yu's Yanyue Sword was swung away, and he directly used the tail of the Yanyue Sword to swing the two halberds away. Then he slashed back with the Yanyue Sword and swept towards Dian Wei's chest.
Dian Wei lay down on his back to avoid the Yanyue Sword's attack, then stood up suddenly and struck Guan Yu with both halberds from top to bottom.
The Yanyue Sword was raised flat, blocking Dian Wei's two halberds, and then the two halberds were lifted up with force, and the Yanyue Sword slashed at Dian Wei again.
"clang."
Dianwei's Iron Halberd sank and collided with Guan Yu's Yanyue Sword again, sending sparks all over the sky.
The two men alternated attack and defense, and the fight was inextricable. However, Guan Yu's cavalry encountered a huge crisis. They were originally small in number, but faced the elite Huns cavalry with four times their number, they suffered heavy casualties.
Seeing his soldiers die tragically one by one, Guan Yu couldn't help but frown tightly.
Guan Yu slashed Dian Wei open with a sword, then turned his horse's head and retreated violently. Seeing Guan Yu retreating, Dian Wei was about to ride his horse in pursuit, but suddenly he remembered what Yuan Shu had said before.
"Guan Yu is a man of great martial arts, extraordinary fighting power, and bravery that no man can match. However, he also has a unique trick called the knife-drag tactic. He first pretends to be defeated and attracts the enemy to pursue him, and then suddenly uses his sword to win. So if you follow
When Guan Yu is fighting, be sure not to pursue the enemy too far, lest he plot against you."
Thinking of this, Dian Wei directly pressed down his horse, stopped his thoughts of pursuing, and rode his horse to hang behind Guan Yu. At the same time, Xu Huang and Ji Ling also rode their horses to kill Guan Yu from both wings.
Just as Yuan Shu said, Guan Yu suddenly retreated and really wanted to sneak attack Dian Wei with a knife trick, but he was helpless and didn't fall for it at all. Looking at Ji Ling and Xu Huang coming from two wings, although he didn't know who they were, he looked at them.
With his stature and equipment, he must be a brave man. Even Dian Wei can match him. It will be difficult if he is flanked by two people again. It seems that there is no chance of breaking through today.
"withdraw."
Guan Yu was not a reckless person. Since he knew that he couldn't do anything, he didn't hesitate at all. He shouted loudly and led his troops to withdraw.
"?"
"?
?”
"?
?”
Seeing Guan Yu's retreating figure, General Dian Wei was stunned. Didn't he say that Guan Yu was very brave and had a courage that no man could match?
Why did he just run away after being beaten?
The three generals rode their horses together and were all depressed for a moment.
"It's all my fault for letting Guan Yu escape. I will naturally go back and apologize to my lord."
Dian Wei glanced at the two people next to him, and a trace of guilt suddenly came to his mind. Maybe he didn't have to be so brave at first, and just pressed forward with Ji Ling and Xu Huang, so Guan Yu wouldn't be able to escape.
After hearing Dian Wei's words, Ji Ling and Xu Huang looked at each other and both shook their heads.
"Dian Wei, don't say that. No one in this battle expected that Guan Yu, whom my lord is so fond of, would run away directly."
Ji Ling patted Dian Wei on the shoulder, indicating that he didn't have to do this.
"Yes, the war is important now. As long as we defeat Guan Yu and his troops, our mission will be completed. There is no need to blame ourselves."
Xu Huang also criticized Dianwei Kaijie.
"Dian Wei has thanked both of you. What's mine is mine. Next time I will take Guan Yu's head and confine it to the Lord's account."
Looking at Guan Yu's retreating figure, Dian Wei secretly made a decision that Guan Yu would not run away next time.
"Haha, I believe you."
"I believe you too."
They both nodded to Dian Wei.
"Let's go and return to our lord."
Dian Wei glanced at Guan Yu again and led the Xiongnu cavalry towards the main formation of the army.
The three of them had just returned to the military formation and before they could speak, the scout brought the military report from Lu County.
"Lord, Lu County has sent troops. Zhang Fei has led 40,000 troops and is heading towards us."
Seeing the looks of the three of them, Yuan Shu knew that they had failed to keep Guan Yu, but now was not the time to talk about that.
"Haha, it's finally out. You three don't need to say much. It doesn't matter whether you succeed or fail. As long as you can repel Guan Yu, you don't have to force yourself. Xu Huang and Dian Wei."
"exist."
"exist."
Now that they were facing a formidable enemy, the two of them immediately put aside their previous depression and clasped their fists at Yuan Shu.
"Order Xu Huang to lead the Hengye Army, and Dian Wei to lead the Guard Army to coordinate with the 20,000 militia to turn offense into defense to resist Guan Yu in Tushan."
"Xu Huang takes the order."
"Dian Wei accepts the order."
"Gao Shun, Ji Ling."
"exist."
"exist."
Gao Shun's golden sword stepped out and stood side by side with Ji Ling.
"Order Ji Ling to lead the Huwei army, Gao Shun to lead the trapped army, 10,000 civilian regiments, and the Huns cavalry to turn around and fight Zhang Fei."
"Ji Ling takes the order."
"Gao Shun takes orders."
"Yuan Bi."
"exist."
"The trebuchet is divided into two to support both sides of the battlefield."
"Yuan will accept the order."
As soon as Yuan Shu's military order came out, the originally neat and rigorous battle formation instantly split into two battle sequences.
On the one hand, the main force was 10,000 guards and 20,000 Hengye troops, together with the 20,000 militia with a total of 50,000 troops, to resist Guan Yu's 30,000 elite troops.
On the other side, there are 20,000 tiger troops, 10,000 trapped troops as the main force, 10,000 civilian regiments as the supplement, and 10,000 Xiongnu cavalry as mobile forces to fight against Zhang Fei's 40,000 troops.
At the same time, seventy trebuchets were lined up facing each other in the central formation, ready to release stone bombs to attack the enemies on both sides.
"kill."
Guan Yu's side took advantage of the adjustment of the trebuchet to charge directly and launched a fierce attack on Yuan Shufang.
"The crossbow is released."
Facing the swarming Guan Yu army, Xu Huang directly ordered the crossbows to start firing.
Time passed and countless crossbow arrows flew towards Guan Yu's army like bees leaving their nests.
"Shield, defense."
Seeing the crossbow arrows coming, Guan Yu gave an order, and the soldiers and horses at the front immediately put their big shields in front of them to protect their comrades behind them.
For a while, the sound of crossbow arrows hitting the shield was endless, but facing the defensive power of the large shield, the crossbow arrows could only be broken and sink into the sand. But even so, countless soldiers of Guan Yu's army were shot to the ground by the broken crossbow arrows.
"go ahead."
After blocking the crossbow arrows, Guan Yu ordered to continue moving forward. After a short delay, the trebuchet was already positioned and loaded again.
"Trebuchet, release."
With an order, about thirty trebuchets once again released countless stone bullets, hitting Guan Yu's army.
