There is a hill more than ten miles west of Maicheng and five miles east of Linfang, which is the main road of traffic to and from Jingmen, Tongdangyang and Yuan'an.

The slope of this mound is gentle, the top of the mound is called as a stone mouth, it is about ten zhang high, the horse can pass, and a path is covered by kudzu vines and weeds, which can hide thousands of people.

Pan Zhang and Ma Zhongzheng led more than 5,000 soldiers and horses from their headquarters to greet Guan Yu here.

As soon as the army finished arrasing, a soldier suddenly strode over and said urgently: "General Qiqi, a military horse has appeared three miles ahead, and it is coming here." ”

"How many centaurs?"

"About a thousand people."

Pan Zhang was originally very jealous of Guan Yujun's combat strength, and was ready to set up a pocket formation at the mouth of the decisive stone, and then planned to meet the enemy. At this time, he suddenly heard that the enemy army was only a thousand people, and he couldn't believe it for a while, so he hurriedly asked:

"Only a thousand?"

"Only a thousand people! The villain saw it with his own eyes! ”

When Pan Zhang heard this, his frowning brows suddenly loosened, and he secretly said, "Guan Yu is at the end of his rope. Five thousand battles and one thousand, where is the reason for not winning? ”

As soon as his fear of the enemy was gone, his heart of meritorious service suddenly rose, and he immediately shouted: "Give the order, advance and meet the enemy!" ”

At this time, a young general suddenly jumped out and dissuaded: "Our army is condescending here, and it is waiting for work at ease, and the Yu army will be broken!" Why mess up the formation and increase casualties! Please think twice! ”

Pan Zhang looked sideways, it was the young general Ding Feng.

Ding Feng is brave and good at fighting, and he will capture the flag in every battle, and he is a leading figure in the new generation of young generals. He was originally a subordinate of the Zhichong general Gan Ning, and this time in order to encircle and suppress Guan Yu, the metropolitan governor Lu Xun specially transferred him to his army.

In fact, Pan Zhang also knew that Ding Feng was right, but as soon as he thought of the credit for capturing and killing Guan Yu, the fire in his heart burned again, but he couldn't restrain it anymore.

He didn't pay attention to Ding Feng, grabbed the horse's belly, and walked straight forward.

Ding Feng's qualifications are shallow, and when he saw that the lord would insist, there was no way at all, so he had to keep up.

At the same time, Guan Yuzheng led more than 1,000 horse infantry officers and soldiers to rush from the southeast.

Three miles away, and it was relatively close, and with only a cup of tea, the two armies met in front of a flat land.

Rao is Guan Yu was ready to encounter the Wu army along the way, and he never expected the first wave of enemy troops to come so quickly!

His gaze skimmed over the banner of the word "Pan" and immediately fixed on the enemy's battle array, and with only a cursory sweep, he had already judged that the enemy's army was roughly about 5,000 people.

Guan Ping on the side has already shouted loudly:

"Array, ready to engage the enemy!"

"Array, ready to engage the enemy!"

Since the Northern Expedition, the battles of the waiting idle have been commanded by his father. At this time, when encountering enemy troops, Guan Ping did not wait for his father Guan Yu's orders, and reacted instinctively.

I saw more than 1,000 school knife players holding a big shield in their left hand and a ring-headed knife in their right hand, with hundreds of people in a group, and ten formations were placed together. The soldiers of this battalion were well-trained, and the formation was completed in just a few dozen breaths.

And Guan Xing led fifty Yulin Lang regiments to protect Guan Yu behind the formation,

Pan Zhangjun was originally in a long snake formation, but when he saw the cavalry formation beside Guan Yu from a distance, he secretly shouted that it was not good.

It turns out that there is no place to produce horses in the south of the Yangtze River, and it has always been dominated by foot soldiers. There was a shortage of horses in the various departments of the army, and the horses were only used by the generals for transportation.

The only full-formed cavalry in the entire Eastern Wu is called the Tiger Guard Cavalry, which is led by Sun Quan, Marquis of Wu, regarded as a treasure, and is usually stationed in Jianye, mainly used to guard against the Wei army in the direction of Hefei, and has not yet participated in the war in Jingzhou.

Pan Zhang is also a long-time battle-hardened person, so after a little thought, he made temporary adjustments. He divided 1,000 men on the left and right wings, and handed them over to the commander of the army Sima Ma Zhong and the junior general Ding Feng respectively to prevent the surprise attack of the opposing cavalry.

The Chinese army was arranged from 3,000 men into three thousand formations, facing Guan Yu's army head-on. It took a hundred and fifty breaths of effort to turn over the twists and turns. However, he also saw that Guan Yu had few soldiers and did not dare to take advantage of the chaos to attack, so he boldly adjusted.

After making this arrangement, Pan Zhang said secretly: "This time it will be foolproof." ”

The two armies were separated by a stone's throw and were far away from each other.

Guan Xing saw that the enemy was outnumbered, and he had the intention to rub the morale of the other party, and when he took the lead, he ran to the front of the two armies, raised his sword and shouted: "I am Guan Xing, who dares to fight with me!" ”

He shouted three times in a row, but no one answered in Pan Zhang's array.

Guan Xing laughed loudly: "Dongwu dog thieves are all rats!" ”

Pan Zhang thought to himself that his own army was strong, and there was really no need to be as knowledgeable as this hairy boy. But after all, he is a martial temperament, and he can't see Guan Xing showing off his martial arts in front of the battle, so he can't help but turn pale, and said in his heart: "That kid, I want you to look good in a while!" ”

His seniority is not enough to have any friendship with Guan Yu, and there is nothing to talk about.

Just waited for his own formation to be completed, Pan Zhang immediately raised the command flag and shouted: "The front of the Chinese army is pressed!" The left and right wings are steady. ”

With his order, about 1,000 people from the front of the Wu army slowly drove forward.

It was the middle of winter, and there was no grass or trees on the ground, revealing yellow-brown soil, and bursts of flying sand were raised under the trampling of the Wu army, covering the sky and the sun.

Guan Yu saw it clearly on the Chitu horse, and sneered: "We have few soldiers, and if the Wu army is pressed by the whole army, it may not be able to support it." But Pan Zhang's gang actually only sent a thousand people to fight, so wouldn't it be possible for someone to break it? Hmph, this guy is really big. ”

Guan Ping, who was on the side, clenched his fists and said: "I still hope that my father will give an order and let the child take the lead!" ”

Guan Yu stroked his long beard and asked, "How do you view the enemy army?" ”

Guan Ping knew that his father was teaching him how to break the enemy, so he said in a deep voice: "Watching the Wu army march in an uneven queue, presumably its military discipline does not need to be strict with our army, and the soldiers are far weaker than our army. With only 500 school swordsmen, the child can break through this formation! ”

Guan Yu bowed his head and said: "You can have this judgment, which shows that you are observant. But there is one more thing that Father needs to remind you. ”

He raised his horsewhip, pointed in the direction of the enemy, and asked, "Have you ever seen those brightly armored people in the Wu army's array?" ”

Guan Ping looked down, and sure enough, he saw that several people in the enemy formation were wearing battle armor that was far better than the surrounding soldiers. He knew that these people were the characters of the hundred generals, so he nodded and said, "The child has seen it, please let the father make it clear." ”

Guan Yu said: "There are many Wu soldiers, and our army should fight quickly." After a while, you wander around, and only attack and kill the leader of the enemy's ranks, but not the rest. With your ability, there will be no three-in-one general in the Wu army, and when three of the hundred people will be gone, the enemy will break without a fight. Got it? ”

"The child has an order!" Guan Ping shouted, and immediately lit up five hundred school swordsmen and rushed towards the direction of the enemy.

The two marched in unison to a distance of more than fifty steps, and suddenly shouted in unison, and suddenly accelerated to charge forward. One side is a spear like a forest, and the other side is a shield like a mountain, and it only takes a dozen breaths to collide and intertwine together.

Guan Yu Military Academy's knife battalion has a shield in his hand, and this shield is covered with a layer of iron sheet, weighing at least ten or twenty pounds, not to mention that the arrows can't be penetrated, even if it's a spear, don't want to pierce it.

Therefore, although the school knife battalion had few people, with this shield, it actually blocked a round of powerful charges from the Wu army.

Between the shields, there were gaps between the shields for the ring head knife to stick out and pierce, and the Wu army attacked at intervals, and the soldiers of the school knife battalion took advantage of the situation to stab the long knives out of these gaps.

Although five hundred to one thousand, after some back and forth, the school knife battalion has firmly established. Under the defensive counterattack, he also injured many Wu soldiers.

For Guan Ping, the number of thousands of people in the battle is not much, and the battle formation is not strict, and some of them show their martial arts in the gaps.

He got the guidance of his father Guan Yu, wandered between the two formations, and singled out the 100 generals of the Wu army with bright clothes and armor.

His martial arts have been passed down by his father, and he is good at making a big sword. But the broadsword is a weapon on the horse, and it is inconvenient to use it when leading the foot soldiers to fight, so he practiced a martial art of chopping a horse.

I saw Guan Ping murderous, with a long knife, invincible, one person and one knife, not stopping for a moment. In just a short period of effort, more than ten people have been cut in a row. His body was stained with blood, and his appearance was very terrifying, and when he looked at it from afar, it was like a killing god reincarnated.

A hundred people tried to block, but even the people with guns were cut in two, and the dark red intestines and internal organs were spilled all over the ground.

As the so-called courage of the soldiers, Guan Ping killed the Quartet, and the morale of the Han army around him became more and more high, and the more he fought, the more brave he became. In a short time, the thick military formation of the Wu army was thinned.

The two armies had not yet engaged in half a pillar of incense, and the Wu army lost its commanders one after another, its morale was unstable, and it was like an elephant to collapse.

After fighting for a while, I don't know who shouted "escape" first, the Wu army's military array was in an uproar, and the soldiers abandoned their armor and dragged the soldiers, and fled in all directions, only blaming their parents for missing two legs.

This period ended with a great victory for the Han army.

Guan Ping only felt that his blood was boiling, and he couldn't restrain himself. He joined the army at the age of 16 and has been a general for more than ten years, and there have been more than 100 small battles, but he has never had a war as hearty and enjoyable today.

Just because since the loss of Gangneung, the army has been gloomy, and as a deputy general, he has to rectify the morale of the army, but also care about his father's injuries, and the burden on his shoulders is extremely heavy, but there is no one to share.

Although he is still calm on weekdays, in fact, the string in his heart has already become a full moon.

After today's fight, the depression that had been entrenched in my heart for many days was suddenly swept away.

Winning the first battle, at this moment, Guan Ping's chest was almost full of pleasure, he couldn't help but raise his saber and shouted: "Big man!" ”

The soldiers of the school knife battalion were all in high spirits, and as a response, they slapped their shields with their knives, making a piercing metal friction sound, and said in unison:

"Wan Sheng!"

"Big Han!"

"Wan Sheng!"

The Han army outside the field was infected, and for a while, Guan Yu surrendered, all of them were red-faced and red-eared, and shouted loudly:

"Dahan Wansheng!"?" Dahan wins! ”
