At the beginning of the war, Guan Yu's troops had been hiding at the foot of the west side of Baishan Mountain. There were pine and poplar trees several feet high everywhere, standing blankly, with tiny yellowish leaves peeking out from around them. But
When the morning sun rises, its cool yet infinite brilliance shines to the west, but it is obscured by these broken leaves that look like children's fingers. So the mountains and fields below are full of shadows swaying like wind and waves, and the knights of the Western Army.
Their bodies merged deeply into one.皚
The reason why they hide here is a design devised by Chen Chong after discussing with Jia Xu. In his opinion, if Guan Yu's tribe is placed on the top of the mountain, although it can relieve the pressure, it is limited by the terrain and the layers of resistance from the East.
, I am afraid it will be difficult to establish a victory. It is better to take a risk and hide the cavalry behind the mountain so that the Easterners cannot detect it, so that they can win by surprise.
The general Guan Yu had no objection to this, but the deputy general Ma Chao was hesitant. Although he was in his thirties, he was already a well-known talent in Longyou and knew how to fight. This was his first time with the Western Army.
In his opinion, if you want to use this extraordinary force to achieve success, you need all the elite troops of the Easterners to go to the front line, and no one will take care of Cao Cao's main formation. However, with the Western army divided, it would be a bit harsh to involve most of the Easterners just by relying on geographical advantages.
But as the two armies began to fight and the rising sun slowly approached the sky, Ma Chao's fighting spirit gradually rose.
Just when Liu Bei arrived from Liangshan and Zhang Fei's tribe and Qu Yi's tribe began to fight, Chen Chong sent an envoy over and announced: "The east bandits are coming out from the north, so there is less defense on the south side, so they can be attacked!"
Everyone had been preparing for a long time and even ate dry food twice. When they heard the news, they all looked at Guan Yu. Seeing that the soldiers were thinking about fighting, Guan Yu couldn't help stroking his beard and smiling. He pulled out a long-handled sword from the ground and turned to the envoy.
: "If you go and repay your brother, tell him that if Yun Chang goes here, his army will be destroyed!"
When he held the big knife in front of him, people couldn't help but focus on it: the handle of this big knife was six feet long, and the blade was four feet long. What was different was that the back of the knife was wide and thick.
Knowing that it was extremely heavy, even Guan Yu himself had to use two hands to dance. This must have been made of extremely fine iron and took a very long time to make. This was the first time for everyone to see Guan Yu carrying this
They all asked about the origin of the knife. Guan Yu laughed and said that it was made by Longshou in Hedong. After five consecutive failures, it was made only in the summer of this year and was brought there two days ago. Because the shape of the knife is like a half moon.
, Chen Chong called it the Yanyue Sword.
At this time, Guan Yu mounted his horse with a sword in his hand. He stood like an iron tower and all the soldiers around him were filled with admiration. Then Guan Yu raised his arms and shouted, and the last of the Western cavalry mounted their horses to follow him, running out from the deep forest at high speed.
They bypassed the foot of Baishan Mountain and quietly distanced themselves from the battlefield where they were fighting. After seeing the sparkling Wenying Lake, they changed direction and rode eastward from the north bank of the lake. Two moments later, Guan Yu heard
From the sound of fighting in the distance, he estimated that he had reached the southeast of Dongren, so he ordered his subordinates to stop and rest for a while.皚
After the re-arrangement was completed, Guan Yu ordered people to blow the trumpet loudly. The sound of the trumpet was like a dark cloud coming from afar. The cavalry was excited and their galloping was even more like thunder. The Westerners immediately started galloping! They stepped across three streams, letting the water and debris flow.
The stone rolled between the horses' hooves, and the abundant hot blood rushed to their foreheads, giving them the illusion that they were flying into the air with infinite power. The astonished eyes of the East people who met them gave them new courage, just like flying needles to break through.
Paper, "pop", the forward Western cavalry has penetrated through.
When Cao Cao's soldiers saw the Westerners suddenly rushing up, the Western knights were already close to them. Many of them didn't even have a chance to set up their bows and shoot arrows. Only a row of sparse arrows were shot out. In order to pursue speed, they launched a surprise attack.
Among the Westerners in the Eastern Army, there were a considerable number of knights without armor. Dozens of them fell like fallen leaves. Other knights quickly rushed to the front, and the cavalry immediately became entangled and intertwined. The enemy and we were close to each other.
At close range, the weapons stabbed and struck each other, and the winner kept falling.
The Westerners were prepared but unprepared for the attack. The following people took advantage of the Eastern Army's lack of time to change their formations and actually crossed through the gap on both sides. They saw the Yellow Sky Snake flag and knew that it was Cao Cao's headquarters, so they attacked one after another.
Go forward. More than fifty cavalry rushed under Cao Cao's command. Although they didn't recognize him, they saw that there were only more than twenty Easterners here. They fought to the death and covered the few cavalry behind. You will know the rich and noble ones.
We were in it. So our courage doubled, and we all went forward and fought bravely.
However, Cao Cao had only a dozen cronies and warriors around him. They were caught off guard and fought fiercely with weapons regardless of high or low. A person's life or death could only happen in a blink of an eye.
Seeing that the enemy was approaching, Cao Xiu, Sima of the Marshal's Mansion of the Eastern Dynasty, and Cao Xiu, threw down his bow and stabbed the Westerner in front with his sword in one hand. At this time, the two horses were facing each other, and the Westerner had no time to get out of the way, so he had to throw away his weapon.
, joined hands to catch the pole, but was too late to stop Chang Zhi, and the tip of the stick suddenly hit his chest. As the mount was still running forward, the man was knocked backward by the tip of the stick, and he fell off the horse screaming.
.But after killing one person, several more knights came around him, causing him to fall into a tough battle again.
When Cao Zhen, who was reorganizing his army on the other side, saw this, he didn't care about the formation or not. He immediately ran to Xiahou Dun and said: "The situation is critical at this moment. What tactics are there? We must first relieve the marshal before we can talk.
Go to the others!" After Xiahou Dun heard this, he nodded as if waking up from a dream, and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Let's go to the commander's flag to kill the enemy! Those who can kill the enemy will be rewarded twice as much!"
After that, several generals rode their horses into the battle. Seeing how brave the generals were, the surrounding Eastern soldiers dissipated their panic and followed them like a tide. The Western soldiers in front were facing Cao Cao.
The tiger warriors fighting nearby saw most of the enemy coming for reinforcements. They knew that it was impossible to achieve success on their own, so they retreated to the ranks of the Western Army and quickly reported to Guan Yu: "Cao Cao is here!"
>
Guan Yu's eyes narrowed after hearing this, but in his excitement, he was still able to restrain his expression and asked calmly in the chaos: "How many people are there with him?"
"There are only a hundred or so people at the moment, but the people in the East are trying their best to save us, and the elites are rushing over!"
Guan Yu slowly said: "In this case, the formations on his left and right will be completely in chaos!" Just when everyone thought that Guan Yu was going to attack and outflank him, Guan Yu suddenly turned his head and said to Ma Chao: "If the matter is urgent, follow the authority, there is a destruction at the moment."
This great opportunity for the East Thieves cannot be let go! But this plan is too risky. Meng Qi, just lead most of the flanks into the formation! I will go and capture Cao Hao directly!"
Seeing Ma Chao nodding, he immediately whipped several times and rode towards Huang Tian's Teng Snake flag. The knights around him also ran with their swords raised. Among them were Jia Kui from Hedong, Wei Pan from Xihe, Zhang Gan from Shangdang, and Luo Du from Shang. Peng, Nanyang Liao Hua and other troops advanced behind, followed by some armored knights, a total of 108 riders, meandering eastward along the smoke and dust left by Guan Yu just now.
On Cao Cao's side, just now the Western knights rushed to his side. He was still in shock. When he saw Xiahou Dun and Cao Zhen leading troops to rush up to rescue him, he laughed and said: "With your guards, it's Yunchang who is here. What do I have to fear?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of noise from the south. Turning around, he saw a puff of smoke and dust coming, and the knight in charge of the armored horse stood out like a flock of chickens in the crowd. The Easterners around him were unable to resist and started shouting. Retreating to the left and right, Cao Cao recognized it immediately: it must be Guan Yu!
He immediately became alarmed, pointed at Dian Wei, Sun Guan and others and said: "Guan Yu is brave, you can kill him with a crossbow!" Then he said to Cao Zhen, "The rear is in chaos, Zi Dan, I will form an army with you and fight again." ." After saying that, he rode his horse and retreated with Cao Zhen. 熚
At this moment, the entire army turned their attention to Dian Wei, hoping that this man recognized as the number one warrior in the Western Army could defeat Guan Yu. Dian Wei also knew that he would sacrifice himself for no one, so he immediately rode up to meet him.
That day, Dian Wei's upper body was only covered with a two-dang armor to block arrows, and his arms were bare underneath, revealing his strong muscles. He was riding a big horse with a yellow mane, holding two extremely heavy halberds in his hands. He was like a born evil god. When the fighting Easterners saw him running from the crowd, they immediately shouted happily: "Zhongzhou Dianwei, famous as the crown prince of the gods!" Guan Yu's attention was immediately attracted, and he recognized him instantly. Come.
The two of them are old acquaintances in Xinxin, but this is the first time they have fought against each other on the battlefield. Just when everyone thought they were going to fight for a hundred rounds, Guan Yu raised the reins of his horse and Red Tudo ran and jumped. Seriously. Like thunder and lightning, he came straight towards Dian Wei. Dian Wei didn't expect him to come so fast, and was shocked. The two halberds in his hands were subconsciously blocked in front of him, and he wanted to use the halberd pole to block the blade.
Guan Yu didn't care about any obstacles, even if there were gods, ghosts and demons in front of him, he remained focused. He put all his strength into this sword and swung it down heavily. The heavy sword struck down, splitting the halberd shaft, and the blade passed from Dian Wei's left side. The shoulder blade went in, diagonally penetrated the whole body, and then went out from the right side of the abdomen, dragging a cavity of blood in the air, on the ground, and even on his own face.
At this time, people saw that the number one warrior in the Eastern Kingdom was cut into two pieces in an instant. The upper half fell to the ground, while the lower half was still sitting upright on the horse. You could see the crows emerging from the horrific wounds. Blood and broken hearts. The people in the East were so horrified that they were silent. You know, it is not impossible for strong men to cut someone in half with a knife. However, Guan Yu also cut off two halberd poles and a piece of iron armor in one blow. How can it be described as martial arts alone?
Sun Guan was standing behind. He had already bent his bow and set a heavy arrow, and was about to aim at Guan Yu. Suddenly seeing this, his soul flew away, and his heart was filled with fear. A wave of nausea came over him, and he could no longer control his hands. The bow string and bow head drooped, but the arrow shot out and hit the instep of his own foot. Although the force was not very strong, it had already shattered his toes.
When the Westerners following Guan Yu saw this, they could not help but feel fear, but soon turned to admiration. Some Westerners who had stayed in Chang'an and converted to Buddhism said: "If the general is born with the Buddha's appearance, he is the reincarnation of the World Honored One."
, that military lord is the reincarnation of Bishamonten!" 熚
Guan Yu turned a deaf ear to these comments. His sword also consumed a lot of energy, so he had to lean on the sword and gasp on the spot, letting the blood flow from both sides of his eyebrows, which also made everything he saw blood red. But looking around, Dongren
They all retreated unconsciously. Apparently no one dared to face him head-on anymore.
