Chapter 243: The Battle of the Outside of Cyprus (11)

As soon as he fought, Guan Yu tried to come out, if it was only in terms of Helian's martial arts, he could stabilize one of his ends, and fight on foot, although he would not kill Helian in minutes, but if he was limited to a hundred rounds, it would be fine. However, the battle against the battlefield and the battle are completely different things.

The length, weight, and toughness of the blade, the state of the general, the advantages and disadvantages of the horse, the difference in the situation on the battlefield between the two sides, the comparison of strength, etc., many conditions will become factors that affect the victory or defeat of the battle immediately, and even the morale of the two sides has a great impact on the heads-up general.

Nowadays, the black horse under the crotch of Helian has become an important factor in his leveling Guan Yu, and the black horse has a very high shoulder height, even higher than Guan Yu's mount. Originally, Guan Yu rode an elite war horse carefully selected by Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang from the Xianbei Department, but at this time, compared with the black horse, it was obviously much shorter. Because of the difference in shoulder height, the height at which Guan Yu sits is a whole horse's head lower than that of Helian, that is, Guan Yu's figure is higher than that of Helian, but such a big gap is extremely difficult to make up. He Lian was condescending, and he obviously took advantage of the battle.

Fortunately, Helian was trapped in the Thang Long Valley and inhaled a large amount of smoke, causing his mind to be slightly dizzy, and his actions and reactions were slightly sluggish, otherwise Guan Yu would suffer a big loss in this battle.

He Lian was also secretly surprised in his heart, he followed the famous teacher to practice martial arts since he was a child, and an iron spear was fought all over the Xianbei tribe. It is this experience that has made him develop a character full of self-confidence. Therefore, he acted boldly, decisively, and boldly, which made Tanshi Huai Shan value him even more, at least he thought so.

However, now that he has invited the generals of the Central Plains for the first time, the martial arts that he originally relied on so much are no longer so invincible at this time. Looking at the outfit of the person opposite, it was obvious that he was just a small military horse, who was able to catch his full blow, when did the Han court become so powerful and fierce?

Speaking of which, I have to talk about Guan Yu's official position. At the beginning, before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, in order to exterminate the Yellow Turban thieves in Beijing, the Son of Heaven appointed Guo Bin as the cavalry commander to lead the Yue Cavalry Battalion, and handed over the right to appoint and dismiss personnel in the camp to him. In order to quickly control the Yue cavalry battalion, Guo Bin had no scruples, and promoted Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to the position of Sima in the army, responsible for training soldiers in peacetime, and leading troops to fight in wartime.

Later, Guo Bin moved to the world, although he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, he has a great ability to cause trouble. Just for the lives of the 200,000 yellow turban soldiers outside the city of Changshe, he actually led the army to surround the tent of Zhu Jun, who was one of the commanders of the Southern Route Army. In wartime, everything is to give way to war, and this is the rule that is used at the forefront of war. However, in the imperial court, what is emphasized is to make concessions to political struggles, and this is the law that prevails at all times.

Therefore, although Guo Bin later made many meritorious contributions, his official position was difficult to promote. In addition to the dissatisfaction of the bigwigs in the DPRK and China with Guo Bin's slightly high-flying and domineering temperament, it was also deliberately done by the Son of Heaven. Otherwise, with Guo Bin's merits, it is common to seal a general of chariots. is just from the perspective of Liu Hong, the son of heaven, if Guo Bin is in a high position at a young age, it is very easy to become the target of public criticism, and the speed of his promotion is also to protect him; In addition, if Guo Bin is promoted to the point where there is no reward at this time, then one day when the new Son of Heaven is in the court, how will he face Guo Bin, who is high and powerful, and his achievements are difficult to appreciate? At that time, Guo Bin is afraid that he will become the second Dou Wu, and the Han court will inevitably enter a turbulent political earthquake.

Therefore, until the Yellow Turban Rebellion was suppressed, the Son of Heaven took the opportunity of rewarding Huangfu Song to promote Guo Bin's title and at the same time promoted him to the county guard of Yingchuan.

However, Guo Bin has never been a master who concentrates on his business, and he actually intervened in the rebuilding of the Nangong in Beijing. After such a delay, he participated in the rescue of Wang Yun, but after leaving Beijing, he came directly to Saiwai. Originally, according to Guo Bin's plan, he wanted Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to serve as the lieutenants of Yingchuan County respectively, responsible for commanding the soldiers and horses of Yingchuan County. A ceremony was held to show the importance he attached to the two. But now that they have not returned to the county, the outfits of the two are naturally the same as when they were the military horses.

Guan Yu could have thought that his military Sima outfit would really be enough to choke on Lian.

The two fought for twenty rounds, and the winner had not yet been decided, and Lian was concerned about the identity gap between the two sides, and he was quite impatient when he was fighting. What kind of person Guan Yu is, and the slightest change in Helian's mentality was captured by him in an instant, and as soon as his mind turned, he understood a general idea, and he became more and more cautious between offense and defense at the moment.

He Lian's martial arts are quite inferior to Guan Yuyuan, and now Guan Yu has been careful between attack and defense, and there are fewer flaws in his moves, and if He Lian wants to win with thunder at this time, it will be even more difficult. The Xianbei army suffered a big defeat in the Shenglong Valley, and the morale of the army was originally quite frustrated, and now nearly 10,000 elite iron horsemen in the valley are trapped, and they are in danger, but Da Dan Yu can't even fight a small military Sima on the other side, so how can he talk about restoring the glory of Tanshi Huai Dan in the year?

As a result, Helian's heart became more and more restless, and his moves became more and more heavy and ruthless. Seeing this, Guan Yu became more and more cautious and conservative, the Qinglong Yanyue Knife was thick and wide, and when it was used for attack, it was naturally a powerful move, and if it was used for defense, the wide blade could even be worth a small shield. Moreover, Guan Yu's fighting style was extremely special, whether he was attacking or defending, he had to round the Green Dragon Glaive, which made him feel like a gray dragon roaring and galloping. When the Qinglong knife is danced, the moves are varied, the move that originally wanted to attack, with a flip of the wrist, you can protect the knife face in front of you, and the knife that you originally wanted to defend can be turned into a very powerful killing move by changing the direction slightly. Moreover, the self-weight of the Qinglong Glaive Knife is extremely large, and the inertia of dancing is even more amazing, so there is no need to worry about the lack of power even if it is a temporary change of move.

Now Guan Yu is practicing Hua Tuo's bear opera, and his unremitting efforts for more than a year have made great progress in both his strength and physical endurance, and the speed of improvement in strength is simply eye-popping compared to when he first met Guo Bin a year ago. Moreover, the five bird operas are of the same origin, and the bear opera can greatly improve the strength at the same time, and it also has a miraculous effect on the cultivation of the state of mind. At this time, against Helian, Guan Yu actually achieved a breakthrough in his mood under huge psychological pressure.

Because when they fought in the first day of the first year, the two were comparable, but after all, he and Lian had been in the fire of Shenglong Valley for a long time, and the poisonous gases he inhaled made his physical condition not the best. Now that he has rushed out of the fire, after breathing a little more fresh air, the temporary weakening effect of the poisonous gases in the fire on his body will gradually diminish, and his strength will inevitably gradually wear out. Therefore, if he fights with Helian for too long, he will inevitably become stronger and stronger by virtue of the advantage of the black horse under his crotch, and Guan Yu will gradually fall behind under his suppression.

However, the change in mood made Helian only seek a quick battle, so he tried his best to suppress Guan Yu by taking advantage of the horse's speed and horse height. However, the bear opera practiced by Guan Yu is an internal kung fu that exercises strength, and this kind of power is not only explosive, although it is not as good as the crane opera practiced by Guo Bin in terms of staying power, it is also quite remarkable. Now that Guan Yu has made a breakthrough in his state of mind, he is becoming more and more calm, advancing and retreating between offense and defense, and his moves are more mellow.

Therefore, although He Lian repeatedly used powerful and fierce moves, he was never able to break through Guan Yu's defenses, because the inertia of the heavy Blue Dragon Glaive Knife, which whirred and rotated like a hot wheel, could greatly offset He Lian's hard blow. Guan Yu's fighting method, while being extremely lethal, is extremely labor-saving, and it is really the smartest strategy against Helian at this time.

The more he fought with Lian, he felt that the iron spear in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, and when the iron spear hit Guan Yu Qinglong's knife, the force of the counterattack could often shake his tiger mouth numb. Therefore, the more he fought, the more frightened he became, and the more frightened he became, the more he attacked with more force. Because he can't count this battle, there are nearly 10,000 elites behind him who are deeply trapped in fire and water, which is his root!

The two sides fought for nearly fifty rounds, and although Helian was eager, his mentality slowly calmed down. As he spoke, he gradually felt that the feeling of drowsiness in his mind had completely disappeared, and his movements had become as swift and agile as before. Just when he was secretly happy and wanted to take Guan Yu down in one fell swoop, he saw that when Guan Yu was resisting the blow of his iron spear, the long knife was swinged.

He Lian was overjoyed, and he knew in his heart that Guan Yu had been supporting himself until his strength was fully recovered, and he was defeated. Just as he was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill Guan Yu on the spot, he saw Guan Yu take the opportunity of the staggered horses to shoot his horse and leave. Seeing this, He Lian became more and more sure of his thoughts, but he couldn't help but mock himself in his heart: "This red-faced man is a good martial artist, but I don't know that I have this black horse under my crotch, where can you run if you want to?" ”

Immediately reined in the horse's head, only to see the black horse man stand up, kick a few times in the air with two front hooves, and turn around to change direction. Helian clamped the horse's belly with his feet, and the black horse surged out, and in an instant it was already approaching. When He Lian raised the spear with both hands and stabbed forward, he saw Guan Yu's right hand dragging the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and shook suddenly, and the Qinglong Knife seemed to come to life, and it went straight to Helian's thigh from the bottom to the top.

He Lian was frightened, and hurriedly changed his moves, the tip of the spear was raised, and the handle of the spear was pressed down, trying to block the Qinglong knife with the handle of the spear, but where was it too late? I saw that as soon as Guan Yu's wrist flipped, the Qinglong Knife flew upwards against Helian's iron spear, and Helian couldn't dodge, and before he could exclaim, he was easily slashed by the Qinglong Knife. I saw the Qinglong Yanyue Knife diagonally upward from the armpit under the left arm, and swung diagonally from the right shoulder, and the big single Yu and Lian of the Xianbei clan were broken in two.

Where could the two sides of the war have expected such an outcome? The two of them are still fighting hotly, but now why did they suddenly divide the victory and defeat? A master like the two of them, if they don't fight in the dark and kill thousands of rounds, where can they tell the winner?

In everyone's amazement, Guan Yu jumped off the war horse, pulled out the ring head knife on his waist, cut the head of Helian, wrapped it in a black cloth pocket and hung it around his waist, stretched out his hand to hold the saddle of the black horse, and jumped onto the horse with a slight force. He was also in a mood when he landed, who would have thought that Da Shan Yu, who had once dominated the Xianbei clan, would let himself be beheaded?
