When Liu Bei chose this terrain as his position, he chose a dirt slope for himself and Lu Yi as the Chinese army. One high and one low, six or seven hundred steps apart, the high one in the north is reserved for oneself, and the low one is in the south, left for the Yiyi.

Standing on the top of the slope, he could see the entire battlefield, including the Chinese army of Lu Yi. From the moment Zhang He chased Zhao Yun to the battlefield, most of Liu Bei's attention fell here, even if it was the Chinese army that Lu Yi sent people to attack him. The two dirt slopes were too far away, and he couldn't see Lu Yi clearly, and he couldn't even recognize the general flag, and he could only vaguely see the general flag moving. When Zhang He's general flag moved to the east, he didn't know which general Lu Yi sent, but he could roughly guess the rank of this general from the shape of the general flag, and how many people there were. What's more, he guessed that Lu Yi was going to deal with Guan Yu on the left wing.

Guan Yu's left flank was under tremendous pressure. Lu Yi attacked seven times in a row, each more fierce and more tightly pressed each time, Guan Yu's ability to hold on to it so far far greatly exceeded Liu Bei's expectations. On the one hand, this is due to the rigorous training for most of the year, and on the other hand, it is also due to Guan Yu personally, not only his bravery, but also his compassion for the soldiers.

may be from different backgrounds, among the generals, Guan Yu is most concerned about the soldiers. In contrast to his eyebrows and eyes on scholars, he treated his soldiers like children. In this regard, he is very similar to Sun Ce, and even surpasses it. Sun Ce was also sympathetic to the soldiers, but he only called the soldiers of Wu Hui as soldiers, but Guan Yu treated these soldiers from Youzhou as children, not only caring, but also protecting their shortcomings, and had conflicts with him and Zhang Fei for this.

Therefore, the soldiers under his command spared no effort when training, and did not hesitate to die when fighting, and every time he reviewed it, it was almost the same as working hard, and if he didn't win the championship, he would be like a dead person, and he didn't have a good face when he saw anyone, until he won the championship next time.

A small school in October, a big reading in January, before Guan Yu came, Zhang Fei and Tian Yu basically opened on June 4. After Guan Yu came, he alone occupied seventy percent.

This is also the reason why Liu Bei has high hopes for Guan Yu. The most elite force under Lu Yi is his 800 Liangzhou soldiers, all of whom are masters of dealing with cavalry, and they are the ones who make Gongsun Chan suffer at the boundary bridge. Lu Yi fought in Montenegro, and whenever there was a stalemate, he would send these people into battle, and he could often decide the winner in a battle.

But Liu Bei didn't expect that Lu Yi would hold Guan Yu as soon as he came up, and attacked seven times in a row, with a posture of not giving up if he didn't defeat Guan Yu. Seeing that Guan Yu was exhausted for a long time, Lu Yi did not let go, and sent reinforcements to attack. If Guan Yu is defeated, Liu Bei will be equivalent to breaking an arm. When Lu Yi sent Xiliang to decide the winner again, he didn't have the same strength to fight back.

Liu Bei gritted his teeth and sent someone to send an order to Zhao Yun to move between the left wing and the Chinese army. If Guan Yu takes the initiative to ask for help, then let Zhao Yunce respond to Guan Yu. If Guan Yu does not agree to reinforcements, then establish a defensive line by Zhao Yun as the new left flank. With his understanding of Guan Yu, the most likely is the latter, without fighting to the last person, it is impossible for Guan Yu to ask for help.

Zhao Yun rested in the rear, and when he received the order, he immediately rushed between Liu Bei and Guan Yu. He rushed to the front, came to the front of the formation, and saw Zhang He's battle flag at a glance. Looking at Zhang He's position again, he couldn't help but secretly complain. Needless to say, Zhang He is here for Guan Yu. If it was usual, Zhang Hezhen might not be Guan Yu's opponent, but now Guan Yu has been fighting several times in a row, and he is already exhausted, and Zhang He is a fine person, and it is very likely that he can restrain Guan Yu by making good use of his dense kung fu.

Zhao Yun didn't dare to be careless, and while sending someone to inform Liu Bei, he was ready to engage in battle.

Zhang He also saw Zhao Yun. However, he is not nervous, and Koji will make arrangements. As expected, as soon as Zhao Yun appeared in front of the formation, Lu Yi transferred a battalion from behind, just blocking Zhao Yun's way. Five hundred sword and shield hands, five hundred spearmen, and a thousand strong crossbowmen, ready for battle, as long as Zhao Yun intends to attack, this thousand strong crossbows will become his nightmare.

Against cavalry, a strong crossbow has always been the first choice.

Before Liu Bei received Zhao Yun's reminder, Lu Yi had already mobilized people. When Liu Bei knew that the person opposite was Zhang He, who was probably coming specifically for Guan Yu, he understood the intention of the transfer of Lu Yi's battalion, and he was so anxious that he jumped to his feet. Lu Yi has the advantage of troops, with nearly 10,000 crossbowmen available, but he does not have so many people. If Zhao Yun is forced to attack, it is tantamount to sending the precious cavalry into the strong crossbow arrow array. If Zhao Yun is allowed to stand still, Guan Yu, who has been tired for a long time, will be fierce and unlucky in the face of Zhang He.

There is only one feasible way now: let Zhang Fei on the right flank attack, attract Lu Yi's attention, and make it impossible for him to mobilize heavy troops to attack Guan Yu.

But it doesn't make sense. Even in field battles, the casualties on both the offensive and defensive sides are different. The defender does not need to move, can better maintain the formation, can save physical strength, and calmly carry out tactical movements, especially suitable for this kind of newly trained soldiers. These people are well-trained, but they are inexperienced in combat, and fighting after battle allows them to fight back without worrying about coordination when moving. Once they take the initiative to attack, they will face a change of formation, once the coordination is not in place, the opponent catches the flaw, and takes advantage of the gap to enter, it is likely to be a fiasco.

On the other side is Lu Yi, the first general in Hebei with rich combat experience, and his ability to capture fighters is undoubtedly first-class. Perhaps he mobilized heavy troops to constantly storm the positions of the fortified feathers, but he was waiting for this opportunity to launch a strong attack on the Chinese army or the right flank for a long time.

Liu Bei's forehead was covered with sweat, and his palms were wet. He wiped and wiped his robe, and even the robe was torn, and he still felt that his hands were wet.

He regretted it a little. You shouldn't be in a hurry and look for Koji as your opponent in the first battle. It is unlikely that the First World War will become famous, but it is more and more likely that the whole army will be wiped out. Koji Yoshiki came slower than expected, and he would probably send someone behind him. Although there is no news yet, once the news does, it will be too late.

Or...... While the losses are not big now, withdraw first?

This idea was immediately vetoed by Liu Bei himself. Retreat is more difficult than attacking, and the attack still has morale available, but retreating can easily lead to a rout. The morale of the army is easy to be chaotic and difficult to reorganize, once the soldiers think that they have been defeated, they may get out of control at any time, and it is difficult for him to control the formation again.

What to do? Liu Bei sweated like a pulp, and his face was pale. He couldn't help touching his earlobes from time to time, praying secretly in his heart. Ancestors of the Liu family, you must bless me. Sun Ce, your words must be fulfilled. I have listened to your advice and cut down that big mulberry tree like a canopy, and if this does not change my fate, I am not done with you.

Just when Liu Bei was entangled, Guan Yu once again rushed out of the battle formation.

Zhang He had been staring at him, and as soon as Guan Yu moved, he immediately urged the horse to speed up, passed through the passage specially left for him by the Jizhou army, and quickly raised the horse's speed to the limit. The sound of the horse's hooves became more and more urgent, and the horses galloped wildly, their hooves almost in the air, splashing mud and grass clippings along the way. Zhang He leaned forward, held the halberd in both hands, stared at Guan Yu who was getting closer and closer, and shouted: "Guan Yunchang, Zhang He in the river is here, come and die quickly." ”
