After hearing this, Lu Bu remained calm and remained motionless. Instead, he squinted his eyes and carefully observed the knight named Gan Ning.
This man was tall, and he was riding on a silver-white high-headed horse. He was even taller than the other knights. Only Lu Bu was slightly better. Although this man was speaking arrogantly, but if you look closely at him,
His posture was so arrogant that when he held the reins with one hand, the other hand holding the rein was unusually steady, causing the long rein full of bells to make no sound. It was obvious that he was extremely vigilant.
When Gan Ning saw that Lu Bu and others were not moving, he couldn't help but laughed loudly and said: "I heard that all the warriors in the north are unparalleled in the world. Unexpectedly, I saw them today. They have such a name. It's no wonder that they are such a shameless rat like Lu Bu."
His minions." He smiled, revealing his extremely beautiful red phoenix eyes, which narrowed like a long knife, making Lu Bu feel like he had been "pricked" by him, and the horsemen behind Gan Ning also started laughing. After hearing this, the knights on Lu Bu's side suddenly turned red. Even Lu Bu couldn't bear it and wanted to pick up the reins and go to battle. But Hou Cheng raised his hand to hold the general and said to him: "General, as a general, once people recognize him,
The enemy is attacking with all his strength, how can we fight this battle?" Hou Cheng added: "I fight for the general, and I will kill this thief and return!"
After saying that, he raised his long spear high and shouted to Gan Ning opposite: "I am the captain of Niyang in Liangzhou, Houcheng of Loufan. The so-called humiliation of the ministers leads to death. Today, either I will behead you alive to wash away the humiliation, or
I will die here to show my ambition!"
So he reined up his horse and rode out, but he had no intention of fighting with the horse. Instead, while looking at the Shu people in front of him, he picked up the horse bow with his right hand and pulled out a heavy arrow from the bow bag with his right fingers. His fingers dexterously
As soon as he turned over, the nock of the arrow was already attached to the bow string. When the horse ran steadily on the snow, he freed his left hand to hold the bow. Seeing the man on the opposite side coming on horseback, he hurriedly pressed the string with his right thumb and quickly pulled the bow string.
He drew his bow, pointed it at the enemy's horse's head, and was about to draw the bow and fire.
At this moment, Hou Chengcheng felt a cold light suddenly shine in front of him, and a sharp arrow penetrated his mouth like a flying kite. For a moment, severe pain spread to his brain, and he felt that the world was spinning, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he no longer felt consciousness.<
/p>
Seeing Hou Cheng die in battle, Liu Chao, who was closest to him, couldn't help being shocked and angry. When he saw Gan Ning stopped and turned his horse's head as if to retreat, he couldn't help but blood rushed to the top of his head, and he started to gallop towards him. p>
Gan Ning never expected that there would be a chasing horse. As he was picking up his horse and walking slowly, Liu Chao's Jiuyuan horse quickly arrived at his side. When Liu Chao saw that Gan Ning did not turn around, he immediately stabbed him in the back.
Unexpectedly, Gan Ning seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. He suddenly bent sideways, reached behind him with his right hand, and grabbed Liu Chao's bridle. Gan Ning skillfully pulled the bridle with his left hand, and the horse immediately stopped. And Liu Chao's
The horse was still moving forward and had already arrived on the right side of Gan Ning. The two horses were just one horse's head away from each other. As the bell rang like rain, Liu Chao saw that Gan Ning's left hand suddenly had an extra one.
The sharp knife shimmered with cold light, and I was suddenly startled. I wanted to withdraw the long sword, but found that Gan Ning's arm was extremely strong. In a panic, he dropped the stick and tried to pull out the short sword from his waist.
At this time, the two horses were almost standing side by side, as if they were intimately entangled. Gan Ning's mighty and handsome face was so close in front of his eyes. In Liu Chao's eyes, it was like a life-threatening evil ghost from hell. It was too late to get rid of it. p>
The soldiers of the Shu army watching the formation from a distance saw the two horses standing side by side, but Gan Ning grabbed Liu Chao and cut off his head in an instant. Gan Ning reinserted the sharp knife into the scabbard, and cut off the still bleeding head.
The head was handed to the attendant, who gouged out Liu Chao's eyes, inserted them into a long stick, and then raised them above his head, as if holding a terrifying wolf-headed flag. The Shu army cheered thunderously, and the Liang army in the distance could not help but eclipse it.
.
Lu Bu was originally persuaded by Hou Cheng, but he remembered the scene where he was seriously injured by a cold arrow in Chang'an City, so he did not want to go into battle alone. But now he saw that his two favorite generals were killed by this man, and he was very angry. He seemed to be talking to himself
He then raised his voice and said: "If I don't kill this thief, where will my face be? Where will the court's face be?!" Then he made up his mind and said to his followers: "Don't persuade me! This man's majesty will never be destroyed, and this battle will not be over.
No need to fight!"
After that, he put on the masked iron armor, lightly clamped the belly of the red rabbit horse with his legs, and slowly walked out from the crowd. The Shu army saw that he stood upright like an iron tower, far more majestic than the two people who had been killed just now.
The cheers slowly subsided, and only Gan Ning slowly looked at him and asked: "Who are you? Tell me your name."
Lu Bu didn't answer. He held a long thorn in his hand, and did not wait for bows, arrows, swords or other sundries. He rode lightly on his horse and rushed straight to where Gan Ning was like the wind. When Gan Ning saw Lu Bu rushing towards him, he was startled and immediately stood upright and hurried towards Gan Ning.
Move forward to attack.
Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Shu Army and the Liang Army stood silently in the snow, watching the fight between Lu Bu and Gan Ning. Seeing two horses approaching on the flying snow, the sound of the collision of poles suddenly came out, and I couldn't help but feel in my heart
I was surprised, thinking that the winner was decided. But after the two horses crossed each other, I saw that they were still sitting upright on their horses, extremely serious. Only the bell on Gan Ning's body was still ringing in the wind.
The two men were not far away, and then they turned their horses to charge back again. As they got closer, the two men urged their horses to advance more rapidly, as if they wanted to use the momentum of the horses to pierce their opponents to the ground. The two horses crossed each other quickly, and for a moment people's hearts were moved.
His throat was raised. However, there was silence this time, and the two horses quickly separated again.
One horse ran for more than ten steps and stood still, while the other horse turned its head and rushed towards the opponent again. Halfway through, the horse that was standing suddenly jumped and faced the opponent's head.
Running towards the direction, the two horses approached and spun around. It was obvious that the two people were fighting together.
Suddenly the sound of the pole breaking was heard, and then the big red red rabbit horse carried Lu Bu and ran towards the Liang army formation. And the silver-white horse also paced slowly, towards the Shu army formation.
Returning. The knights rushed up and found that the leader Gan Ning had empty hands. Only the scabbard of the short sword on his waist was left, but there were spots of blood on his uniform.

The officers and soldiers of the Liang army were all watching the battle, but they didn't see who was winning or losing. They stared wide-eyed at the red rabbit horse and Lu Bu who was riding back. He was seen holding the halberd that was out of the battle in one hand, and holding a half-bolt in the other.
Every time you take a few steps on the broken branch with a bell hanging on it, the copper bell on it will make a sound like a warbler's cry.
When Lu Bu stabbed the broken stick into the snow, everyone said that Lu Bu had won and cheered in unison. While Lu Bu smiled, he secretly tore off a piece of linen and stuffed it between his waist and abdomen. It turned out that when he had just snatched the stick, Gan
Ning took advantage of the situation and pulled out his dagger and stabbed Lu Bu. The wound was bleeding, but fortunately it was not deep.
Gao Shun saw that Lu Bu's expression was wrong, so he turned slightly to cover him, and asked: "How is the enemy general?"
Lu Bu said in a low voice: "It is indeed good. His martial prowess is comparable to that of Wen Yuan. Unfortunately, I am still better."
However, the victory or defeat of the entire army does not depend on these two challenges. The Shu army is so well prepared that victory may still depend on a head-on confrontation.
At this time, a fierce northwest wind blew, and the flags of the Liang Army roared. The snow on the ground also rolled up with the wind, drifting in the direction of the Shu Army's formation. The cold wind blew on people's bodies like sickles.
The dry and cracked skin was cut and the pain was excruciating. The Xiliang knight covered his neck with his leather hat and lay on the horse's neck to avoid the wind and keep warm.
When Lu Bu saw the wind blowing towards the Shu army, he felt a little happy and made up his mind to attack. He said to Gao Shun: "The way to advance is to take the enemy by surprise. The Shu people have arranged themselves in order, so they have to fight together. I have a small number of enemies, so the way to fight together is to fight together."
The key lies in the strength and tightness of each unit, so as not to be divided and surrounded by the enemy. Then seize the opportunity, cut into the gaps in the enemy's formation, and strike hard on their sides. Even if there are many enemies, they can still be defeated!"
Without waiting for Gao Shun's answer, he ordered to summon all the generals to his formation. The soldiers and horses formed a circle, and all the troops were listening to Lu Bu's explanation of the attack strategy. Lu Bu picked up a branch and drew a pattern on the snow.
The arrangement of military forces during the attack and the placement of military personnel.
Lu Bu's battle plan is: First, the Shu army's formation is long, and our own army's formation is short. Our current semicircular formation is a defensive and self-protective formation. If we want to take the initiative to attack the Shu army, we cannot form a circular formation in the center. Lu Bu ordered
Each unit took advantage of the wind and snow blowing towards the Shu army and slowly moved diagonally to the right front, gradually shifting the center of gravity of the army to the left wing of the Shu army. The right wing of the Liang army was close to the Shu army and easy to attack, while the left wing of the Liang army was far away.
The Shu army is easy to defend. This arrangement is based on the fact that the Shu army is mostly infantry, and its formation changes are absolutely slower than the Liang army.
After moving the formation, in order to prevent the Shu army from outflanking their left side, the Liang army's left wing formed an inward arc. Gao Shun was in the front and Cao Xing was in the back, forming a long inward left wing to screen the knights' horse and baggage. The right wing of the Liang army directly faced the end of the left wing of the Shu army. Lu Bu ordered Zhang Liao to lead the Fuping army in the front to form the most powerful assault force, which directly overwhelmed the Shu army under the Duanliu plain. The enemy in the rear was supported by the trapped camp.
The cavalry formation formed with the knights of Lu Bu's own formation, they will serve as the last reserve of the army and enter the battlefield according to changes in the situation.
Lu Bu planned to divide the battle into two situations. The first situation is to attack with 50,000 people from Lu Bu's direct troops, striving to directly defeat the left wing of the Shu army, and personally lead the knights through the gap where the Shu army collapsed, and after exiting the Shu army's formation
Then give him a severe blow. If he can achieve his wish, victory will be achieved, and Han Sui and others who are watching the battle will definitely lead their troops to join the battle and annihilate the Shu army here in one fell swoop.
However, if the battle is unfavorable and the left wing of the Shu army is strong, the Liang people cannot tear open the gap and cannot use cavalry to penetrate into the back. At this time, the Liang army can only rely on the Duanliu Plain, shrink the whole body back to the circular formation, and fight while retreating.
After the Shu army was lured out, there was a melee and stalemate situation. This is the second situation. At this time, the three towns must not be able to count on it. They can only ask Jia Xu to attack from the north to relieve themselves. When the Shu army panics, they can retreat for more than ten miles.
, slow down and fight again.
At this moment, the wind and snow continued unabated, and Liang Ren's military formation began to gradually move to the right. Lu Bu sat on his horse, and two Congqi Taxue led the horse in front to lead the way. They walked slowly, surrounded by clouds of knights, and soon arrived at the battlefield.
Looking past the formation of knights in front, he could see the Shu people's fortified left wing from a distance.
Seeing this, Lu Bu felt a little regretful, but more importantly, he was nervous. He thought: "Half of my life's martial fortune has been won in dangerous places. I have killed countless people for this reason, but today's big gamble is the first time in my life. God
Bless me and wish me to win this battle!"
It was going to happen, Lu Bu no longer hesitated, waved his hand and ordered his men to blow horns and beat drums, and Liang Ren's heavy armored knights on the right began to attack on the snow.
