Chapter 394: Xu Chu vs Guan Yu
"Since the lord knows that Shouchun is not easy to take, he still wants to attack?" He asked.
"I don't want to fight either, but I can't do it if I don't. Shouchun is too important to us, he will directly affect the next few years, our economic strength and strategic advantage, even if it is not easy to attack, it must be attacked. Yuan Xi said: "I only told you this plan, don't spread it out, wait for the troops to be concentrated, and then send troops, maybe a few months later." ”
"Yes..."
The crowd replied.
..........
..........
The long-lost battle of Jingzhou finally kicked off.
Cao Cao, Jia Xu, and Xu Chu personally led 70,000 elites and approached Fancheng. And now stationed in Fancheng is Liu Bei's second brother Guan Yu, who has 20,000 elites under him, all of whom are infantry soldiers who are good at defending the city.
For the sake of safety, Liu Bei also assigned Guan Yu a military advisor named Yi.
Yi doesn't know much about soldiers, nor does he know how to form formations, so he must be considered a talent for county guards, but he has an advantage, that is, he is cautious, so he was sent to supervise Guan Yu, afraid that Guan Yu would rely on his martial arts and act recklessly.
It's called a military advisor, but it's actually an overseer.
In addition to Iraq, there are two deputy generals, Guan Ping and Zhou Cang. The former is Guan Yu's righteous son, and the latter is Guan Yu's guard.
Knowing that Cao's army was approaching, Guan Yu personally went to the city tower to observe the enemy's situation.
I saw that in the north of Fancheng, five miles away, there was a large camp.
That was Cao Cao's main camp.
To the west and east of the main camp, there was a small camp, which was supposed to be built to guard and protect the main camp.
After setting up the camp, Cao Cao led 50,000 soldiers and horses and approached Fancheng.
Guan Yu turned back violently: "Guan Ping, tell the soldiers guarding the city to strictly guard against dangers everywhere, and not let anyone go to the city." ”
"Father, rest assured, everything is ready."
Zhou Cang carried Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Knife, approached Guan Yu, and said, "The last general has gathered five thousand elites, and they are on standby in the city, ready to participate in the battle at any time. Now the enemy has just arrived, and he has not yet had time to rest. Do you need to take advantage of their unstable foothold and rush to kill, it will definitely have a miraculous effect. ”
Yi said, "No. The military advisor has an order, Cao's army is strong, and we can only hold on. ”
"You only listen to Zhuge Liang?" Zhou Cang snorted.
"The advisor is right." Guan Yu rarely did not argue with Yi, but said: "What Mr. Yi said is also reasonable, Cao's army has more than 70,000 soldiers and horses, all of which are Cao Cao's main force, and our Fancheng is only 20,000 infantry troops, even if they all rush out, it will be difficult to make contributions." The so-called killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 self-losses is better than relying on the solidity of Fancheng to fight a defensive battle with Cao Cao. ”
"The general is wise."
Yi was ordered to oversee the army, and at all times, he was to prevent the soldiers and horses from leaving the city.
Guan Yu is willing to cooperate, it couldn't be better.
"But...."
Unexpectedly, Guan Yu changed his words and said: "Although you can't go out of the city to kill the enemy, you can fight with them." I heard that Xu Chu's martial arts are not lost to Lu Bu in the past, I must see it. ”
"With the courage of a general, you will definitely win!" Zhou Cang is Guan Yu's number one fan, full of little stars.
Yi Zhi spoke out again: "General Guan, you..." ”
"Sir, I don't have to persuade him anymore, I have to fight him." Guan Yu's attitude was very resolute.
It can be seen that he has been waiting for this day for a long time.
Yi didn't persuade again, but he didn't agree.
Crumb.
Cao Cao's army took up a position outside the city.
Xu Chu seemed to have a heart with Guan Yu, and actually took the initiative to ask Cao Cao for battle: "Prime Minister, the last general will challenge Guan Yu!" ”
"Guan Yu is brave, Huhou beware." Cao Cao called Xu Chu the Tiger Marquis.
"Don't worry, Prime Minister, wait for someone to take his head!" Xu Chu beat his horse out of the battle and challenged in front: "Beat the drum!" ”
Knock knock...
Xu Chu stood with his head held high and shouted towards the city tower: "Guan Yu, come out and die!" ”
"You are Xu Chu?"
"Exactly."
Guan Yu sneered softly, and took the Qinglong Yanyue Knife from Zhou Cang's hand: "Zhou Cang, order five hundred soldiers and horses, press the formation outside the city, and watch me cut Xu Chu with a knife!" ”
"No."
Zhou Cang and Guan Yu turned around and entered the city at the same time.
Yi originally wanted to persuade him, but was stopped by Guan Ping: "Lord Yi, my father said a long time ago that Xu Chu is an opponent worthy of his shot, and he finally had the opportunity to compete, do you think you can persuade my father?" ”
"But..."
"Don't worry, even if Lu Bu, who is invincible in the world, comes back to life, it is impossible to defeat my father easily. Even if you are defeated, you can retreat calmly. What's more, it's Xu Chu? Guan Ping thought it through.
"Okay...."
The Iraqi had no choice but to respond.
At this time, Guan Yu had already left the city.
Behind him, followed by Zhou Cang and five hundred soldiers, after crossing the moat, they lined up on the other side of the moat.
Da Da...
Guan Yu ran in front of Xu Chu, grabbed the reins of the horse, and was full of arrogance. Xu Chu asked, "Guan Yu, are you sure you can beat me?" ”
"Kill you like a pig and a dog!"
"Who wouldn't talk big? I know that you are strong in martial arts, and you have fought against Lu Bu, but I, Xu Chu, want to fight against you, today's battle, either you die, or I die! ”
The Huoyun Knife in Xu Chu's hand flipped violently and slashed at Guan Yu.
Clang!
"Carving insect skills!" Guan Yu easily blocked it, and slashed out three knives in succession, slashing at Xu Chu's neck, abdomen, and thighs respectively. All three positions have distance, and it is very difficult to block.
Bell, bell, bell...
Xu Chu took a slight step back and pulled some distance to resist Guan Yu's attack.
Cao Cao in the distance broke out in a cold sweat and stared intently at the battlefield. If he was 100% sure before Xu Chu went to war, now there are only fifty left.
Guan Yu's name, he had heard it ten years ago.
Wen Jiu beheaded Huaxiong, Guandu Yong fought Yan Liang, Wen Chou, although he was messed up by Yuan Xi's giant beast and robbed of the red rabbit horse, but judging from the situation at the time, Guan Yu was fully capable of killing the generals and making meritorious contributions.
With such a terrible opponent, can Xu Chu win?
The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more he felt that he was reckless, why did he agree to let Xu Chu fight.
Jia Xu followed Cao Cao's side, glanced at him inadvertently, and the corners of his mouth rose: "From the point of view below, General Xu Chu's courage is no less than Guan Yu, and the battle between the two of them is not hundreds of rounds, and the winner cannot be distinguished." The prime minister can call Xu Chu back at any time, and he will not be in any danger. ”
"Hmm."
Cao Cao nodded.
Bell, bell, bell...
Xu Chu is still fighting with Guan Yu.
You come and go, and the fight is not lively.
The duel between masters is very fast, and it is difficult for ordinary people to understand. The generals of Zhou Cang, Guan Ping, Yi Yuan, and Cao Cao were all impressed when they saw the strange knife technique.
Clang!
Guan Yu used the dragging knife trick, and the Qinglong Yanyue knife slashed back violently, colliding with Xu Chu's Huoyun knife. The knife trick did not work, Xu Chu was always vigilant against Guan Yu's attack, and he didn't think that he could easily defeat Guan Yu, so when he saw Guan Yu's defeat, he knew that it was Guan Yu's trick, and wanted to use the way of fraud to strike a full blow when he was not paying attention.
