Chapter 995: Confrontation (2)

Blood was all over the sky, and stumps and broken arms were everywhere.

The soldiers on both sides engaged in tragic hand-to-hand combat in the battlefield, and people kept falling, and people kept coming up, one after another, and it was very tragic.

The ring-handed knives fell into the air, the pikemen stabbed hard, the soldiers roared in a low voice, and the weapons slammed into the gold and iron, echoing through the wilderness and resounding through the sky.

Tragic duel, although the crossbow machine made the Xuzhou army occupy the initial advantage, but as the Danyang army broke through and the advantage was decreasing after the short encounter, Liu Lan looked at the opposite Danyang army with a frightened face, terrifying, the combat effectiveness would be so terrifying, but the battle between Xuzhou and Cao Mengde that day, why was it so embarrassed?

Is Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldiers more powerful? Or is it that the internal struggle of the Danyang army is too expensive?

Liu Lan can't give an accurate answer, if he has to choose one, he prefers the latter, although Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu, but in Xuzhou he did not fight with Cao Jun, Xiahou Yuan's side because he guarded the walled gate, it can be said that Guan Yu just fought with him to a draw, but Zhao Yun's side, but it was a big victory, although there was a surprise factor, but if it was really a force that could easily defeat the Danyang army so fiercely, even if the dragoon army suddenly killed, it could resist rather than flee in defeat.

"Cloud Chief."

"What's the matter with my lord?"

"The situation has begun to turn against our army, and something must change."

Liu Lan saw it, and Guan Yu saw it early in the morning, the reason why he didn't send cavalry was because it was not the time, and now the Danyang army was not all engaged in the attack, although the battle situation seemed to be the Danyang army recovering its disadvantage little by little, but in fact, this was just an illusion, and the two sides had been in a stalemate.

Although it is indeed very unfavorable in the local battlefield, especially in the shield army, he believes that Zhou Cang will stabilize the morale of the army, and only completely drag the Danyang army into the battlefield. Make the Danyang army unable to advance and retreat in this battle to have a chance of winning, otherwise send cavalry up now, not to mention that the commander of the Danyang army can still arrange calmly, once he is forced to fight to the death, it is really fatal.

Therefore, the meaning of the existence of cavalry now is the straw that crushes the camel. It's the winner and loser between the winner and the loser!

"Yun Chang is so sure that Zhou Cang and the three of them can stabilize the army's heart and drag the Danyang army? If there is a deviation, the residents are likely to be in great danger! ”

"My lord, as far as the formation is concerned, the Xiangying Formation has finished the Crane Wing Formation, in terms of strength, we have an absolute advantage, in fact, the most anxious thing now is the Danyang Army, they are eager to separate the victory or defeat on the battlefield. Before, I have always wondered why the Danyang army was able to sneak attack our army and not attack, but also formed a formation in a grand manner, but now the last general has completely figured it out, he is clearly because the soldiers do not even dare to sneak attack, if they attack rashly, one blow can not completely defeat me, and it is likely that they will be defeated, so they will take time to build a platform. In fact, it is to provoke us and create a false impression that they disdain to attack our army. So that our army took the initiative to break the formation in shame, so that he could defeat us with the advantage of formation and combat power, and because of this, the last general had to drag him down, consume him, and not decide the victory with him as soon as possible. ”

"If it weren't for Yun Chang's analysis. I really didn't expect so much, I have to admit that the enemy general is really calculating, but it's a pity that he is facing you Yun Chang, and everything he arranged has been resolved. "Liu Lan is definitely one of the best generals in the world in terms of cavalry, but it is inevitable that there will be some laymen in infantry battles, especially in such a battle. The current situation, if it is a cavalry confrontation, his suggestion is not wrong, but this is an infantry battle, and as a reserve force, they are three thousand dragoon heavy armor soldiers and less than 1,500 personal guard cavalry, the personal guard cavalry is light cavalry, send it to attack nothing, but after all, there are few people, the effect will not be too significant, and the dragoon heavy armor soldiers, at most two or three charges, although the damage is large, but the duration is too low, if once two or three charges can not solve the battle, the immobile dragoon army is bound to suffer a heavy blow, Although the victory was already decided at that time, and the casualties of the dragoons could be paid for at the cost, Guan Yu was extremely unwilling, and it was the most cost-effective and economical way for the dragoons to launch the last charge to completely defeat the Danyang army.

Liu Lan smiled and suddenly realized, but Guan Yu's face sank, and his previous calm face straightened, Liu Lan instantly turned his head to the battlefield, only to see that the enemy formation was changing rapidly.

In the case of dominance, the enemy general actually changed formation?

Both sides are fighting wits and courage from beginning to end, and they can accurately see every small purpose hidden in the shadows of the other party for the first time, because of this, Guan Yu's purpose of dragging the Danyang Army will inevitably be seen by the enemy generals early in the morning, at first he did not change the formation because the Xuzhou Army still has elite dragoon armor, he wanted to create an illusion to force the dragoon armor to fight, but unfortunately he failed, and because of the lack of soldiers and horses, Guan Yu did not pay attention to it, so he was too passive, in order not to be led by the nose of the Xuzhou army, in order to reverse this situation, Zhang Bei must change the formation, and even put all the follow-up troops into battle, otherwise if the battle continues to develop, it will only develop into a protracted war and a war of attrition, and at that time the Danyang army will not even have a chance of winning.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a master of battle in the world, if the strength is equal, the last general really doesn't dare to say that he can defeat him!"

It's hard to hear such beautiful words from Guan Yu's mouth, but when he says it, he must have been impressed by the deal, just like Zhang Liao in front of Bishui Pass, which completely aroused his fighting spirit, and this battle was enough to comfort his life regardless of whether he won or lost.

Guan Yu has never been as serious as today, never like today so hopeful of defeating a person, this is the sympathy between chess opponents, the so-called martial arts are no second, they urgently need to defeat their opponents to prove themselves, they can also calmly face defeat, losing to such a strong opponent is not ashamed!

Although he is still defeated, this word is definitely not what an arrogant man like Guan Yu would want, his seriousness, in Liu Lan's opinion, is definitely a magnified move, he has begun to look forward to it, what other back-hand, even killer moves?

This game seems to be in the middle game, but for the two national players, this battle is just the beginning!

"Summoning Zhongkang, the pro-guards are ready to attack at any time." Guan Yu conveyed the first order.

"Since the Danyang army has been dispatched, Yide's side is still not moving?" Liu Lan wondered in his heart, since the Danyang army wanted to make a desperate bet, it didn't make much sense to take care of the dragoon army, and it was only reasonable to defeat the Danyang army in one fell swoop, but he just ordered Xu Chu to guard the cavalry battalion to prepare. This made Liu Lan incomprehensible, what else did Guan Yu have to scruple about at this time?

"We can't move yet, we must observe and observe what is unique about the enemy's formation, otherwise rashly sending out all our troops will make our army have no room for maneuver, and then our army will fall into passivity.

Liu Lan didn't quite understand. He now needs to absorb and digest it gradually, but the result is that he absorbs too much at once, and instead of digesting it all, his head is getting bigger.

Guan Yu didn't say anything more, patiently observing the battlefield, the enemy formation began to move, and began to abandon the two wings to recycle the middle while defending? Circle? Fish scale array? No, at this time, there is no point in choosing to change the formation at all, and the enemy will definitely choose the offensive formation. But with so many offensive formations, what will the enemy choose?

Guan Yu made almost every formation that the enemy general could change as an illusion, but as the enemy formation gradually took shape, his face became more and more solemn.

Is it more difficult than you think? Liu Lan, who noticed the subtle changes in Guan Yu, also tightened his expression, which is not difficult to understand, since the enemy general dared to suddenly change the formation during the fierce confrontation, he naturally found a way to deal with the Xuzhou Army's Xiangying Formation, and once it changed, it was natural to seal his throat with a sword.

"Glaive. Are you going to fight me to the death? ”

"Glaive?" For Liu Lan, this is an unfamiliar but familiar name.

It is unfamiliar because Liu Lan has never heard the name of such a formation, and it is familiar because the name of the blade used by Guan Yu has the word glaive. From it, he could already guess the specific appearance of this array, which must be similar to Guan Dao, but is this formation very powerful? Liu Lan didn't think so, after all, this was a formation with a group of turtles, and once the two wings of the Xiangying Array were encircled, no one from the Danyang Army present would be able to escape. At this time, the glaive array that gave Guan Yu a headache made Liu Lan stretch his brows.

"Lord, this battle is not that simple." Guan Yu began to explain his confusion and said: "The whole army in this formation is arranged in an arc, shaped like a crescent moon, and the general in the formation is located at the bottom of the crescent moon concave. The point is that this attack is focused on the flanks and flanks the enemy with thick moon rings, leaving little weakness to speak of. Lord, look at the crescent moon bump, it seems that the least number of troops is there, and it is the weakest link of the glaive array, but in fact, the real danger is precisely there, once our army penetrates into it, it will be doomed!

"Looks like that's the point of this formation, right?"

"Exactly, but if you really want to give full play to the strength of the Glaive Array, it must be a fierce army, all of which are indispensable, otherwise you will not be able to give full play to the maximum strength of this array."

"I see." Liu Lan bowed slightly, the most critical point of this formation is to attack the flank, and the middle and other wings of Xiangying are all blocked by the moon wheel, and the group wants to give the Danyang Army enough time, when it breaks one wing of Xiangying, then the Xiangying that can't fly will be completely defeated.

Now the most critical method is to quickly change the formation and change the disadvantage, but one wing is cut off, even if Guan Yu changes the formation, he can only say that he is cut off and the flank is abandoned, such a price is too great, the opportunity is immediately decided, the flag is moved, and the personal guard cavalry rushes to the crescent of the enemy formation under the command of Xu Chu in an instant, and it is necessary to tear open a hole and rescue the trapped and broken wings.

The pro-soldiers roared out, but in front of the dense crescent moon, the pro-soldiers were like a tide as if they were crashing into the deep-sea reef, and they couldn't shake the glaive formation at all, even if the formation was loosened for a moment.

Standing still, no matter how strong the tide is, it is difficult to wash away the rock that has been washed away for a long time.

The situation is getting worse and worse, and the Danyang army, which is already a strong general, is even more powerful in this formation, but in the blink of an eye, a large number of Xuzhou troops have fallen on the battlefield, and the price they have paid is almost zero.

Terrifying, too terrifying, although the ancient cold weapon battlefield killed a thousand enemies and lost eight hundred, but a simple change of formation made the battlefield situation almost earth-shaking changes It is really beyond Liu Lan's imagination, as more and more Xuzhou military corpses fall to the ground, Liu Lan is about to start his eyes, isn't it killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, this situation is not two or three hundred? If it goes on like this, this bottomless pit doesn't say that the Xuzhou army has more than 10,000 people in the Danyang army, even if there are tens of thousands more, it can't withstand such consumption.

"Yun Chang ......" Liu Lan finally swallowed back the words behind. Originally, he thought that Guan Yu had a killer weapon, but now it seems that the enemy will be this glaive array is the real big killer, and Guan Yu has already sent the pro-army battalion up, and the hole card in his hand is now only the dragoon army temporarily commanded by Zhang Fei, but the dragoon army is not a last resort and can't be dispatched, so Liu Lan didn't say anything more, even if he is in a hurry, he has to give Guan Yu time to calm down, otherwise how can he come up with a way to crack it?

The collapse of the front line was imminent, but Guan Yu, who had closed his eyes slightly, suddenly opened his eyes and asked thoughtlessly: "Lord, the last general remembers that you once divided the world's famous generals, counting them into doumi, such as Yide, and the force is nine buckets and eight liters?" ”

"Exactly?" Liu Lan's eyes showed a blank look, at this time Guan Yu asked what he was doing, he was talking nonsense, and the inspiration was from the weapon spectrum of the Beiji monks.

"In other words, there will never be more than nine fighting generals in the Danyang army?"

"Yun Chang, to be honest, this is all my joke, if it is not true, just like the general in front of you who is fighting against you, I am afraid it will be unfathomable!"

"It's okay!" Guan Yu only needs to know this, because now there is only one way to break the Glaive Formation, that is, to break the enemy general, and the general of the Danyang Army is on the high platform, so there is no need to worry, then the key point is to become the main general of the formation in the recess of the crescent. If the master here is the master on this high platform, then Guan Yu may hesitate, but the other Danyang army generals are not to worry, whether Guan Yu knows or the lord is in the master ranking, but there is no Danyang army general among them, so there is only one breakthrough in the seemingly temporarily unsolvable glaive array, that is, their main general, although Guan Yu also understands that the glaive array has high requirements for the main general's combat power, but no matter whether he has eight buckets or nine buckets, in front of Zhang Fei, who is still leading the dragoon heavy armor army in nine buckets and seven liters, will be vulnerable, the victory or defeat of this battle is in one fell swoop!

"Herald Yide, attack the inner crescent with all your might, and tell me that the glaive array will be scattered and collapsed no matter what!"

"Whoa."

"Yun Chang, it's too risky to do this." Liu Lan knows that he has a hard time, this so-called martial arts ranking, he is just ranked according to the descendants, and that is just a table of the characters in the romance, but the masters who are drowned in history have not been recorded, such talents are too much in this era, not to mention, just say that if the name of the opposite person is left in history, he is definitely not an ordinary person, but unfortunately, he did not enter the history, let alone enter the romance like Chen Zhi, but Chen Zhi still entered the history books and left his name after all, And this Qihu who can fight in battle with Guan Yu, and even win more with less, didn't even mention a word, which made Liu Lan feel that his so-called weapon spectrum was unreliable.

But Guan Yu's subsequent words reminded him.

This person can never be an unknown person, he must be a fierce general in the world, but we don't know his name, and I don't know where he came from, but one thing is certain, this person must not be a figure in the Danyang army.

Yes, how can such a character be an unknown person? It's just that he didn't find out who he was, but Liu Lan believed that he would soon know who this enemy general who made Guan Yu suffer first. (To be continued.) )
