369. Guan Ping vs. Cao Zhang
Guan Yu dispatched troops very quickly, and it took only ten days from receiving Liu Bei's letter to the arrival of the army near Yecheng. Guan Yu's army set up camp twenty miles from Juye City. In the big tent, Guan Ping, Zhou Cang and Pang De sat under Guan Yu and waited for Guan Yu to assign tasks.
Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, wondering in his heart how to fight a strong attack in this battle, or a strong attack? It seems that there is no good way to do it at the moment except to storm it.
Just as Guan Yu was groaning, Guan Ping spoke: "Father, please give a certain group of people, I will go to the city to call for a meeting with Cao Zhang." ”
Guan Yu looked up at his son after hearing this, to be honest, he was still very satisfied with Guan Ping, the sword technique had already done his true inheritance, and all he lacked was experience. Let him play is also a kind of exercise! Thinking of this, Guan Yu nodded and said, "Okay, since my son has the guts, then you just have to go and fight for your father." ”
Guan Ping was overjoyed and said: "My son will definitely not disappoint my father." Then he clasped his fists and saluted, turned around and went out to get ready to go. Guan Yu nodded and said: "Zhou Cang, you go to the camp to check it out, and let the soldiers be sure to set up the camp, I'm afraid that the Cao army will attack the camp tonight." ”
"Don't worry, general, I'll definitely check it out!" Zhou Cang answered the order and left. Guan Yu saw him leave, and then got up and took Pang De straight to the outside of the camp, they were going to sweep Guan Ping's formation.
At this time, Guan Ping had already ordered 2,000 men and horses and came to the city to call for battle. In Yecheng, as soon as Cao Zhangyi heard that it was Guan Yu's son Guan Ping who was calling for battle, he was moved at that time. It is false to say that Guan Yu's army is not afraid of him, after all, Guan Yu's ability is too big, but if Guan Yu does not make a move, it is just his son Guan Ping that Cao Zhang is not afraid of him.
Thinking of this, Cao Zhang ignored Xu You's dissuasion and insisted on going out of the city to fight. Xu You had no choice but to send more soldiers to follow Cao Zhang out of the city, and he himself went to the top of the city to plunder Cao Zhang, for fear that he would be injured and unable to explain to Cao Cao.
Cao Zhang didn't care about Xu You's thoughts at all, he just wanted to get out of the city quickly at the moment and meet that Guan Ping for a while. In this way, after the city gate was opened, Cao Zhang rushed to the front of the two armies with 3,000 men and horses. When Guan Ping saw Cao Zhang's battle, he immediately urged the war horse to rush to the front of the battle, and pointed at Cao Zhang with a big knife in his right hand and shouted: "Does the Cao family dare to come forward to fight?" ”
Before Cao Zhang could answer, a person behind him said: "The third prince killed the chicken with a knife, and let the last general go to meet him for a while." "When Cao Zhang heard that he was talking to Lu Liang, one of his disciples, this person was good at using double hammers, and he was considered to be at the top of his martial arts. Seeing that it was him, Cao Zhang nodded immediately, and Lu Liang got Cao Zhang's permission, and rushed forward with a double hammer.
When he came to the front of the formation, he said to Guan Ping: "Boy, go back to your father Guan Yu to come, otherwise I will let you taste the power of my double hammer in a while!" With a double hammer touch, there was a local crisp sound.
Guan Ping sneered: "If you want to find death, I will fulfill you, but why should the ants use my father to help!" ”
When Lu Liang heard Guan Ping scolding himself as an "ant", he was immediately furious and said: "Boy, you are looking for death!" While saying that, the hammer with his left hand rushed to Guan Ping's head, and then the hammer with his right hand also smashed out, and the two sledgehammers smashed one after the other, just like a meteor catching the moon.
Guan Ping shouted: "It's a good time!" The big knife in his hand stabbed at the double hammer, as the so-called one inch long and one inch strong, Guan Ping's big knife obviously has a strong point, because of this his move came first, this knife passed through the gap between the two hammers, and rushed to Lu Liang's face.
Lu Liang was startled, and while dodging, he hurriedly changed his move and hit Guan Ping's big knife with a sledgehammer. Guan Ping's wrist flipped, and the head of the knife slashed across Lu Liang's chest. Lu Liang didn't expect Guan Ping to change his moves so quickly, and he couldn't dodge when he wanted to dodge again.
Guan Ping's war horse ran by, and he cut Na Lu Liang into two pieces with a knife. The corpse shook its horse for a moment, then fell off its horse. Guan Ping killed the enemy with one sword, and then he pointed the tip of one end of the broadsword at Cao Zhang again.
Cao Zhang saw that Lu Liang was killed in one look, and immediately scolded him in his heart. This will not wait for Guan Ping to speak again, he shook the big 㦸 in his hand and rushed to Guan Ping to kill him. His sword was modeled after Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd, but Fang Tian's painting halberd had two blades that were too difficult to practice, so he dropped a blade and changed it to an ordinary one-sided halberd.
Cao Zhangqi stepped forward immediately and didn't talk nonsense, and went directly to Guan Pingzha. Guan Ping's big knife forcefully put Cao Zhang's big knife aside, and then he turned the knife head and slashed it at Cao Zhang's side.
Cao Zhang caught Guan Ping's blow in a millimeter, and then he swung Guan Ping's big knife away, and smashed the big knife in his hand towards the top of Guan Ping's head. Guan Ping hurriedly held the knife in both hands and parried up.
There was a loud "dang", and both of them were shocked and took two steps back. The blow turned out to be evenly divided, and no one could help anyone.
Guan Pingyi saw that Cao Zhang really had some ability, so he put away his contempt thoughts, and turned the big knife in his hand to use the Guan family's knife techniques taught by his father one by one. Cao Zhang is not in vain, the big one in his hand is attacked, blocking, dialing, pointing, piercing, and smashing just right, obviously he has worked hard for a long time on the big one.
The two of them were fifty rounds without a win, Guan Yu swept behind, and he said to Pang De: "Ling Ming, do you think which of the two of them can win?" ”
"This ...... According to the second general, according to the last general, the young general is afraid that he will not be able to win against Cao Zhang. Pound hesitated for a moment and said truthfully.
Guan Yu nodded and said: "Ping'er is indeed a little impatient, this time just to give him a temper, the province always makes him think how great he is, and when he encounters a strong enemy in front of the battle, he will kill himself." ”
While he was talking, the situation in the field changed abruptly. It turned out that Guan Ping had been attacking and was a little tired at this time, and Cao Zhang seized this opportunity and stabbed Guan Ping in the lower abdomen.
Guan Ping didn't see it well, and immediately returned to parry. finally stopped Cao Zhang's big 㦸 not far in front of him. Cao Zhang's strength is unforgiving, and after one stabbing the air, three consecutive stabs rushed to Guan Ping.
Cold sweat broke out on Guan Ping's forehead, and he danced the big knife away, blocking it three times in a row, and finally defused Cao Zhang's attack. At this time, Guan Pingjue's self was a little powerless, and the high-intensity fight with Cao Zhang made Guan Ping consume too much, although Cao Zhang was also out of breath, but it was much better than Guan Ping.
Guan Yu saw it really from behind, so he said to Pang De: "Ling Ming, go and replace Ping'er!" If he goes on, he'll be defeated! ”
Pang De responded to the sound of the horse and came out, slashed Cao Zhang's big spoon to the side with a knife, and then he said to Guan Ping: "Little general, go back and rest for a while, he will be handed over to me!" ”
