On the morning of the 23rd, about ten o'clock.

Guan Yu personally led the Dangkou army with 4,000 cavalry to the west to converge with the left flank, and Guan Ping led the Dangkou army with 1,000 cavalry to walk with Tian Xin, and the Guanzhong army in the northwest direction.

Lei Xu on the left flank stood still and confronted the second army of Hu Xiu and Fu Fang; Xiahou Lan stood at the foot of Da Shou Mountain, and Wang Fu watched the battle on Da Shou Mountain, and conveyed the information on the changes of Cao Jun's various units under the banner.

At the beginning of the battle, it revolved around Xiahou Lanbu, if he was broken, Da Shou Mountain would fall, the intelligence advantage would be gone, and Lei Xu on the left flank would also be flanked.

The drums sounded like thunder, and Niu Jinqin led the heavy infantry to attack the Xiahoulan formation, surrounding the triple fence and trench, and the two sides fought for their lives, fighting for every inch of land.

Cao Ren rode a white horse, and a thousand horsemen were waiting on his side, so he calmly lined up behind the Niu Jin Array, facing Guan Yu's headquarters from the east.

On the east side of Cao Ren, there is a strong front of the 5,000 Guanzhong Army advancing with a large oar to form a shield wall, and on the east side of the Guanzhong Army is more than 1,000 Jiangxia soldiers led by Li Ji.

On the east side of Guan Yu was Tian Xin's 2,000 southern army, and on the east side of Tian Xin was a thousand infantry and cavalry led by Guan Ping.

Cao Ren's formation did not move, and the knights all got off the horse to slow down their strength, and they wanted to make that thunderous blow.

Tian Xin observed the big oar of the Guanzhong Army from afar, this is a siege giant shield, taller than a person!

This is the tactic of the Ma Chao Liangzhou Legion, which uses large oars to form a shield wall to provide long-range protection, and then waits for the enemy to collide with itself with an extra-long gun array, and is equipped with short spears, which can be both thrown and used as combat weapons.

The negative characteristics are also obvious, such an army is most afraid of exposed flanks, let alone the enemy on the back; At the same time, the long-range attack is weak and lacks mobility; The most obvious disadvantage is that the Guanzhong soldiers are hardly equipped with decent armor, and most of them are light infantry.

The infantry was lightly armed, and the cavalry was lightly armed.

"Captain, the sailor has washed away the Cao Jun pontoon bridge!"

Waving a big flag on the mountain to convey the signal, Dong Hui looked at the Guanzhong army that was still in formation a mile away: "At the latest, in an hour and a half, the sailors will be able to land and form a formation to flank the enemy in front of me." ”

Tian Xin looked at the Liangzhou army front in front of him, which was two miles wide, Cao Cao had a blue nose and swollen face, and there was no need for him to hit it headlong.

It should be the Guanzhong Army who is in a hurry, and what is competing at this time is patience.

As long as you wait for the sailors to attack, the Guanzhong army will be finished.

But can the left wing Xia Houlan hold up until the sailor strikes in a roundabout way?

Himself, Guan Ping's 3,000 people dragged Zhao Yan and Li Ji's 6,000 people, which is not a loss.

Zhao Yanguan's army has 2,000 light cavalry, and his position is chaotic, and these 2,000 light cavalry can definitely defeat him in a wave of charge.

If the infantry does not move, it will not be chaotic, Tian Xin observes the left and right battlefields, the left wing Guan Yu headquarters is stationed three miles away, and the battle flags of General Dangkou and Hanshou Pavilion Marquis are fluttering, which is the greatest incentive for Xiahou Lan's troops.

It is estimated that Xiahou Lan's main formation is still stable, and it is not yet time to rescue.

And Guan Ping, two miles away on the right flank, also garrisoned the troops, with a posture of guarding the flank and dragging time.

Xiahou Lan's formation is as stable as a rock, is Cao Ren in a hurry?

Definitely urgent.

Tian Xin still observed left and right, and roughly understood the battle situation, there were only a few key troops in the battle, and the others were paddling.

For example, Fu Fang and Hu Xiu's armies were obviously sluggish, but Cao Ren did not force them to step forward and fight with Lei Xu, who was close at hand; It's okay not to fight, at least seven or eight thousand troops are standing there, and they can pull Lei Xu; If he stepped forward to fight and defeated, it would lead to the rout of Cao's army on the western front.

also because Fu Fang and Hu Xiu were sluggish, and Lei Xu did not come forward to fight when he saw that he was good, so he occupied the passage on the south bank of the Han River and cut off the connection between Cao Ren and Gucheng.

In other words, if Cao Ren's main force is defeated now, Fu Fang and Hu Xiu can quickly escape and withdraw from the battlefield, and Cao Ren's cavalry can also escape.

Lu Chang's department in Xiangyang City didn't have to worry, he was worried in vain before.

Only when victory is in sight, Lu Chang will send troops to expand the results; Otherwise, they would never send troops, and he and Cao Ren could not afford to lose Xiangyang.

After gradually understanding the situation, Niu Jin is attacking Xiahoulan, who is camping with the help of the remaining strength of the mountain range, how can he be able to capture it in a while and a half?

Tian Xin turned his head sideways and said: "Jun Sima Xihong will defend the formation on my behalf, and I will challenge the Guanzhong warriors." He came from afar, and he has never been convinced by Cao thief, if he loses the decisive battle with me, the soldier's fighting spirit will definitely be dissipated. ”

Dong Hui opened his mouth to stop it, but thinking of Tian Xin's previous achievements, he kept silent.

Not against, not supported.

Xi Hong's face showed a yearning look: "I have heard that Duwei is brave for a long time, and I can't wait to see it." ”

Everyone around the military officials was excited, and Tian Xin looked around at everyone: "If I win, please do your best to applaud." ”

"Dare to disobey."

The military official Shi Li agreed, Tian Xin then hung the Han sword on all sides at his waist, raised the halberd in his right hand and rode out of the column, and behind him Lin Luozhu held a battle flag with the word "Tian" and followed up, and the "Southern Commander Tian" banner was still left in the formation, guarded by Xi Hong.

"I'm Fufeng Tian Xin, but is there anyone who is willing to fight with me?"

"I'm Fufeng Tian Xin, but the heroes in the country will fight me to the death?"

"In the battle of Weishui, will my Guanzhong man die?"

A stone's throw away, Tian Xin shouted loudly, and the shield wall of the Guanzhong army was as immovable as a mountain.

Tian Xin held the halberd and pointed obliquely at the battle flag of the Guanzhong Army: "Tian Mou's official residence is the captain, why does no one dare to take it today?" ”

Under the battle flag, Zhao Yan couldn't stop coughing a few times, and looked around at the left and right military officials: "The child is rampant, who will kill him?" ”

While speaking, Tian Xin had already taken the initiative to dismount, took out dry food and bamboo tubes, and sat on the ground to eat, in a provocative posture.

Cao Cao returned to Hanzhong in vain and withdrew his troops back to Chang'an, which seemed to have a great impact on the morale of the troops in Guanzhong.

Tian Xin thought about it, and saw that the Guanzhong Army's big oar made way of a passage, galloped out, pierced through the fish-scale iron basin collar armor, and pointed at Tian Xin obliquely with a conical gun in his hand: "One day Shui Li Liang, I am here to take your head!" ”

Tian Xin put down the bamboo tube, picked up the iron halberd and did not take the horse, walked sideways for more than a dozen steps, and stood with the halberd: "Come on!" ”

Li Liang looked at Tian Xin's horse that was grazing with his head bowed, and he immediately drove the horse to charge, and he could reach it in a matter of moments, and the cone gun in his hand was raised diagonally, aiming at Tian Xin's chest.

How fast can you speed up in one stone's throw away?

Tian Xin's eyes only had time to glance at both sides of Li Liang's saddle, and his heart was slightly settled after seeing that the Guanlong area where the cavalry was developed was also unilateral stirrups.

Li Liang's charging speed was far from reaching the limit, and when he increased to about twenty times per hour, he staggered past Tian Xin.

No, it was Li Liang's horse that ran over, Li Liang fell off his horse strangely, fell to the meadow in front of Tian Xin, and as soon as he landed, his mouth and nose bled and he was dizzy.

Lin Luozhu, who was the closest, didn't see anything clearly, let alone the soldiers of the two armies who were further away.

At that moment, Tian Xin stabbed obliquely with a halberd in both hands, the side branch of the halberd blade opened the cone gun, and the halberd blade penetrated Li Liang's shoulder socket, and Li Liang was picked off the horse by a halberd.

Without waiting for Li Liang to open his eyes, Tian Xin came to his side, lifted the halberd and stabbed it, and the halberd blade sank into the soil.

Drawing his sword and cutting off his head, Tian Xin crossed the halberd, turned to look at his southern army, and raised the halberd with a smile.

The Southern Army shouted in unison: "Cai! ”

Tian Xin raised his arms again, and the Southern Army shouted in unison: "Cai!" ”

He raised his arms again and again, and the Southern Army shouted in a louder voice: "Cai! ”

The cry shook the sky and reached the sky.

The large shield wall of the Guanzhong army was shaken, Guan Yu and Cao Ren were attracted to it, and they only looked at it twice, and their focus was still on the offensive and defensive battle between Niu Jin and Xiahou Lan.

On the first mountain, Wang Fu saw the cavalry mounted after the Guanzhong army, and immediately commanded the standard-bearer to give orders.

During his order, Tian Xin saw that the light cavalry in Guanzhong was going east after circling the formation, almost the two thousand light cavalry in the intelligence were exhausted, and the dust was filled, and after passing more than 1,000 people under Li Ji's department in the east, they came in a roundabout way to the south close to the moat of Xiangyang City.
