Chapter 973: Impulse is the Devil

Hou Xuan took half a step back, beads of sweat rolling on his forehead, for fear that Guan Yu would be angry with him in a fit of anger, and it was not impossible to kill him with a knife.

Guan Yu hugged his son's head and was angry for a full quarter of an hour, until he scolded until his mouth was dry.

Then, he jumped up, grabbed the candidate, and asked sharply, "Say, what's going on!" ”

The candidate didn't dare to hide it, so he had to convey Su Zhe's words to Guan Yu as they were.

Guan Yu finally understood that the reason why Su Zhe killed Guan Ping at this time was to provoke him and induce him to fight out of anger.

Although he understood Su Zhe's intentions, Guan Ping's death stimulated him too much, so big that he lost his mind, and there was no way to calm down at all.

"Pass the order, tomorrow the whole army will go out of the camp, and I will fight to the death with that thief, and avenge my Ping'er!"

Guan Yu, who was extremely angry, finally became angry and made a decision that went against his original intention.

When Jiang Xu heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly persuaded: "The general is angry, the thief killed the major general, it is indeed hateful, but he sent the head of the major general, obviously to provoke the general and induce our army to fight, the general must not fall for his treacherous scheme." ”

Guan Yu said proudly: "Even if it is the Su thief who provokes the general, he is only 10,000 hungry and thirsty soldiers and horses, and the 5,000 elite soldiers who are waiting to work are enough to defeat him." ”

"But although the enemy army is tired, they are all cavalry, and their number is twice that of our army."

"So what, Ben will be equipped with a strong bow and crossbow, even if he is a cavalry!"

Jiang Xu waited to persuade again, but Guan Yu waved his hand and said resolutely: "The general has made up his mind, who dares to persuade again, don't blame me for being polite!" ”

Jiang Xu was shocked, and his words of persuasion were forced back by Guan Yu's threat, and he didn't dare to speak again.

……

Early the next morning, east of the entrance to the oasis.

The 10,000 Wei troops had left the camp and marched slowly towards the oasis against the wind and sand.

Although it was very close to the oasis and the wind and sand were far less than the hinterland of the Gobi Desert, the faces of the people who were still beaten were faintly painful, and the Wei soldiers had to cover their mouths and noses with scarves.

The 10,000 soldiers, all dismounted, were leading the horses forward, and they would rather be tired than let the horses rest.

Even Su Zhe dismounted at this time and walked forward on foot to show that he shared weal and woe with the soldiers.

After walking less than five miles, a wild dust whistled in front of him, and the sandy Hu Che stopped in front of him.

"Your Majesty, Guan Yu has led five thousand Han troops out of the camp and lined up at the edge of the entrance of the oasis in front, it seems that they are going to fight a decisive battle with us."

Su Zhe smiled.

Deng Ai said excitedly: "Your Majesty really expects things like a god, then Guan Yu is really provoked and wants to take the initiative to fight with us." ”

Su Zhe flicked his hand and sneered: "The snake has come out of the hole, and the order is sent to the soldiers, telling them to cheer up and prepare for a big battle." ”

When the order was laid, the soldiers were all in high spirits, and their killing intent was wildly ignited, and they couldn't wait for a big battle.

After eating the sand in the Gobi Desert for so many days, they have long been looking forward to winning this battle as soon as possible so that they can enter the oasis.

The 10,000 soldiers were high-spirited and continued to brave the wind and sand and march towards the mouth of the oasis.

Finally, in the early afternoon, the endless oasis came into view, and the wind and sand overhead gradually became much milder.

Directly ahead, in front of the entrance of the oasis sandwiched between the two mountains, 5,000 Han troops lined up in front, blocking their route of advance.

A big banner with the word "Guan" fluttered dazzlingly in mid-air.

The soldiers knew that it was Guan Yu leading 5,000 soldiers who were waiting to work, waiting to give them a head-on blow.

At the end of the field of vision, more than a dozen military formations of the Han army, large and small, were entrenched in front of the oasis like an iron wall, and every Han soldier had a complicated expression flashing on his face.

On the one hand, they were deeply jealous of the arrival of the Wei army, after all, they had lost too much to the Wei army before, and they had already carved the imprint of fear in their hearts.

On the other hand, they thought that they were waiting for their work, and the chance of victory was very high, and they were eager to use a victory to wash away the shame of repeated defeats to the Wei army.

Su Zhe pulled down the veil covering his face, spit out the sand in his mouth, and sneered: "Guan Yu, since you don't have a long memory, then I'm welcome." ”

After saying that, he leaned on the heavenly sword and pulled it out, and shouted: "Great Wei soldiers, assemble and line up, the time for your meritorious service has come again!" ”

The banner waved like the wind, and a holy decree was issued to the 10,000 cavalry.

The knights, who had been on foot, quickly turned over their horses and formed large and small cavalry formations, slowly advancing towards the oncoming Han army.

The Wei army was sleepy and lacking, except that the spirit and fighting spirit were still high, and the real combat power was almost the same as that of the Han army.

It's going to be a close fight to the death.

Han army array.

Under the big flag, Guan Yu immediately slashed his sword, and Danfeng's eyes narrowed into a line, spewing the anger of revenge.

Guan Ping's bloody head kept appearing in front of his eyes, burning his anger more and more.

"Su thief, today I Guan Yu must kill you, the myth of your invincibility is the end of today!"

Guan Yu secretly swore in his heart, took a deep breath, pointed at the Wei army with the war knife in his hand, and shouted: "The whole army presses up, crushes the Wei dog for the general, and captures the Su thief alive!" ”

"Catch the thief alive~~"

"Catch the thief alive~~"

Five thousand Han soldiers roared loudly and shouted angrily, echoing over the oasis and the Gobi.

Tom tom!

The drums shook the sky, and the large and small military formations of the Han army roared and rushed towards the oncoming Wei army.

The Han army was in a strict formation, with swords, shields, and spearmen in an orderly manner, protected by 500 cavalry on each wing, and a thousand crossbowmen in the formation.

This infantry formation, which was both offensive and defensive, was as delicate as a cavalry, like a giant beast covered in scale armor and tusks on its mouth, advancing mightily.

Facing the oncoming Han army, Su Zhe did not have a trace of jealousy in his eyes, only a sneer that the fish had been hooked.

"Yunlu, today's battle is up to you." Su Zhe's expectant gaze looked at Ma Yunlu beside him.

Ma Yunlu arched his hand and said angrily: "Your Majesty, just look at it, see how I break the surname pass." ”

Before the words fell, Ma Yunlu raised his horse and gun, and arrived in front of the formation, made a move of the silver gun, and roared: "The front army is in a broken formation, let the shield cavalry come out." ”

When the order was passed, the light cavalry in the front row suddenly separated to both sides, and a dazzling white light appeared from the Wei national formation.

That's five hundred horsemen with silver shields!

These 500 cavalry were the cavalry and shield soldiers that Ma Yunlu used to deal with the Wei army in the first battle of Pusaka.

Although the Ma family army was defeated, a large number of heavy shields and javelins were captured by the Wei army, and after the Ma clan returned to Su Zhe, he re-delivered these equipment to Ma Yunlu and asked her to re-form the shield cavalry.

Guan Yu thought that Su Zhe only brought 10,000 light cavalry to come, but he didn't expect that Su Zhe also hid 500 cavalry and shield soldiers among the light cavalry.

These 500 centaurs are Su Zhe's killer weapon to break Guan Yu!
