Chapter 297: Feng Shui Takes Turns
The wind is blowing!
This is the first wind in the five years of Jian'an.
The harsh winter has passed, and spring has arrived...... But in the field, there is no trace of spring, and it is still so solemn.
Under the cover, Cao Ying's face was calm, and he held the sword tightly in his hand.
Maybe it was because of the nervousness, his knuckles were a little white, but he didn't notice it.
Behind him, Dian Wei and Xu Chu described themselves as quiet, like two statues that have existed since ancient times. The robes hunted in the wind, and the black iron armor shimmered in the sun. Further back, the Tiger Ben Army and the Armed Guard Army were in a tight formation, standing in the wind.
For Cao, this is not the first time he has played.
However, this battle was the most important battle for him.
If Puyang can't be recaptured, then the decisive battle that has been planned for two years is like child's play. Only by breaking Yuan Shao, the snake of Changshan on the south bank of the river, can the battle situation return to his control. As long as Puyang is in his hands, he can ensure the stability of Yanzhou. Its eastern barrier can still play an important role, not only to defend against the land of Qingzhou, but also to contain Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses.
The most important thing is that Puyang is here, and Qingyan can't be connected.
No matter how powerful Yuan Tan of Qingzhou is, it is impossible to give Yuan Shao too much help.
At the same time, the existence of Puyang can also give Cheng Yu more time to lay out Guandu...... Overall, whether Puyang can be recaptured has become a key to the decisive battle between Cao Ying and Yuan Shao. It's just that Cao Ying was aware of this key, but Yuan Shao didn't find it. Perhaps, some of Yuan Shao's subordinates also noticed this. But in that kind of environment where there are many factions and they are fighting each other, how much can Yuan Shao listen to? Cao Ying is also skeptical about this.
"Lord, why haven't you come yet?"
"Don't worry, I'll be back."
Cao Ying glanced back at Cao Bin and motioned for him to be calm.
In fact, why wasn't he anxious?
Stay here for a moment, and the white horse will be more dangerous. Even if Cao Ying has confidence in Cao Peng, but the white horse is very important, he is also worried. Thinking that Yanjin had already received the news, Xu You had sent troops and horses to rescue...... I hope Ah Fu can withstand it.
At this moment, Cao Ying's attention has been completely focused on the upcoming Liu Bei.
In his heart, Liu Bei is the enemy in his heart...... As Cao Ying expected, after Xu Ping returned to Yanjin, Xu Yu immediately ordered Fu Hu and the general Gao Fan to rush to Puyang to take over.
Previously, he would greet him politely, but this time, he didn't ask at all, and directly ordered Gao Fan to change his guard.
If Liu Bei is in the hands of Xu You, he will inevitably face Xu You's more ferocious revenge. Therefore, Cao Ying's choice to attack Baima at this time was to give Liu Bei a reason to attack. He must strike and rescue Hakuba...... Only in this way can he prove his innocence to Yuan Shao. If not, Liu Beixiu wanted to get half of Yuan Shao's trust again, and he was in Hebei at that time, but there was no place for him.
It's just that Liu Bei did attack!
But his reaction made Cao Ying extremely annoyed...... This guy was almost traveling at turtle speed, starting from Puyang at the end of the day, but the road of forty or fifty miles was slow and slow, and he walked for most of the day.
It can also be seen that Liu Bei must have also been aware of it, so it was this reaction.
He was very careful in every step, and the scouts kept coming and going, which made Cao Ying very annoying. But Cao Ying, you must be patient with the surname and wait!
It can be said that Liu Bei is grinding.
It can also be said that Liu Bei is wasting Cao Ying's patience.
However, Cao Ying had made sufficient preparations this time, he didn't believe that Liu Bei dared not rescue Baima.
As time passed, the wind gradually stopped.
The afternoon sun gradually shifted, and the sunset shone obliquely on the earth, covering the plains of early spring with a blood-colored coat...... "Lord, Liu Bei is here!" ”
The scout finally came with exciting news, and a smile suddenly appeared on Cao Ying's face.
"Junming, Zhongkang."
"Whoa!"
"Ready."
Dian Wei smiled and picked up the halberd, "Don't worry, my lord, if the big-eared thief arrives, Dian Wei will definitely want him to die without a place to be buried." ”
He is good at double iron halberds.
However, because it was a cavalry battle, Dian Wei put the double iron halberd behind him and replaced it with a long halberd.
As a general, you must be proficient in all eighteen weapons. Dian Wei is much stronger than Xu Chu in this regard. Xu Chu is good at making a big knife, but Dian Wei can play with everything. But if you compete in strength, Xu Chu is slightly stronger than Dian Wei.
Xu Chu grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth.
"Why hasn't the big-eared thief come yet?"
As he was talking, at the end of the horizon, a group of men and horses appeared, slowly marching.
This place is called Zhao Ying.
That is where Yan Liang blocked Xu Huang before.
The terrain is very open, which is most suitable for field battles between large armies. When Liu Bei's banner clearly met Cao Ying's eyes, Cao Ying suddenly urged his horse, "The whole army, attack!" ”
The Wu Wei Army and the Tiger Ben Army rushed forward on the left and the right.
As soon as the two teams of ironclad troops appeared, Liu Bei also immediately discovered it.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said softly: "I know that Cao Ying's old thief is not that simple. ”
When he got the news of the loss of the white horse, his first reaction was not to go to the rescue, but to hold on to Puyang. Because he knew it had to be a trap. Unexpectedly, Yu Ban, Li Dian, and Xu Huang suddenly led the troops to retreat thirty miles and set up camp.
Fu Hu didn't say anything, because before he came to Puyang, he received a letter from Fu Zhu.
The letter said that Liu Bei should not be persecuted too much, and it was best to let him stay in Puyang. In this way, you can help the frustrated.
But Gao Fan disagreed.
Gao Fan was a dead soldier of the Yuan family, and was originally stationed on the river.
After learning the news of the loss of the White Horse, Gao Fan immediately asked Liu Bei to send troops.
It's a request rather than an order...... Liu Bei had 10,000 reluctance in his heart, but under Gao Fan's order, he could only have to fight. It's just that after leaving Puyang, Liu Bei was slow and cautious, and fell into Cao Ying's ambush in his life. But in the end, I still have to fight Cao Ying...... He looked at the soldiers and horses behind him, and secretly smiled bitterly, "Three armies, array...... Meet the enemy! ”
If Xu Huang was here, maybe he would really laugh three times, and then say, "The big-eared thief also has this day." ”
Feng Shui takes turns, how similar is the situation faced by Liu Bei at this time to the situation faced by Xu Huang at the beginning? is also in Zhao Ying, the same is intercepted by others, and it is also impossible to retreat, so it can only be fought hard! History, there will always be so many interesting coincidences.
"Xuande, don't you get off the horse and surrender?"
Cao Ying laughed, urged the horse forward, and pointed the sword in his hand at Liu Bei.
Liu Bei's face sank like water, and after a while, he said sharply: "Old thief, I can't wait to eat your flesh and blood." ”
The two are so familiar that they don't need to explain anything on the scene. One is to leave a name on the edict of the clothes belt, and Cao Ying will get rid of the trouble of the henchmen who are fast; One is an ambitious man who vows to kill Cao Ying.
"Whoever will take the head of the old thief with me?"
Liu Bei shouted, and Zhang Fei behind him didn't say a word, the prancing horse raised his spear, and rushed towards Cao Ying.
As soon as Zhang Fei came out, Xu Chu in the Cao army also rushed out of the formation, slapped his horse and danced the knife, and stopped Zhang Fei.
Both of them are the kind of super-first-class generals who are born with divine power and are extremely brave. This hit in one place, only to hear the impact of knives and spears, and the shouting and shouting continued. In terms of martial arts, Zhang Fei is slightly better than Xu Chu; In terms of strength, it was Xu Chu who defeated Zhang Fei. But Xu Chu also has an acquired advantage, that is, the Takahashi saddle under him can make him stabilize his figure, and the double stirrups can make him sit more stable and explode with greater strength. Even the crotch mount, with a horseshoe, has the upper hand.
Iron Hoof kicked Zhang Fei's war horse, and Zhang Fei's horse was also smart, sensing that something was wrong, and hurriedly dodged with broken steps. It's just that this time made it difficult for Zhang Fei to stabilize his body right away, and when he fought with Xu Chu, he naturally felt struggling, and he gradually couldn't resist.
Guan Yu saw in the formation, the slightly closed Danfeng eyes suddenly widened, and Ma Xiyu hissed under his crotch, and rushed out of the formation with Guan Yu on his back.
"Sneak attack on children, and want to be rampant."
Guan Yu dragged his knife and rushed towards Xu Chu, but he heard someone in Cao Ying's formation shouting loudly.
Dian Wei rushed out with a halberd, and the war horse under his crotch was like a red lightning, blocking Guan Yu's way in an instant.
To say that Dian Wei's horse has a lot of origin. His mount was the red rabbit hissing wind beast under Lu Bu's crotch at the beginning.
Historically, after the Battle of Xiapi, Guan Yu made an agreement with Cao Ying in three chapters and returned to Cao Ying.
Cao Cai was very generous to Guan Yu, three said a small banquet and five said a big banquet, on the horse to send gold, off the horse to give silver, and later gave the red rabbit horse to Guan Yu, and sealed Guan Yu Hanshou Pavilion Marquis...... But now, due to various reasons, although Cao Ying still admires Guan Yu, the person he values most is Dian Wei. After killing Lu Bu, Cao Ying gave Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd to Cao Peng, but gave the red rabbit horse to Dian Wei.
Dian Weissen smiled, the halberd was rounded, and the head was a blow.
When Guan Yu saw it, he didn't care to help Zhang Fei, and he swung his knife to meet him, and the big knife slammed into the halberd, making a loud noise.
The two horses neighed violently and retreated at the same time.
But it can also be seen from this blow that Guan Yu's mount is obviously not as good as the red rabbit horse.
After taking a few steps back, the red rabbit horse rushed out again, but Guan Yu's horse retreated because of the huge force. When the war horse stopped, Guan Yu wanted to charge, but Dian Wei had already arrived. The halberd is another blow to split Huashan, and the momentum is extremely terrifying. The halberd blade tore through the air with a screeching sound. Before the halberd arrived, the wind approached the body, and Guan Yu, who was forced to wave his knife again, greeted him again, only to feel numb in his arms.
Dian Wei also secretly praised that this Guan Yu was indeed extraordinary.
can be praised and praised, and he will not show any mercy in his hands.
The halberd danced, the halberd cloud rolled, and the halberd shadow was heavy. Guan Yu gritted his teeth and swung his knife to fight with Dian Wei.
Guan Yu in history gives people a feeling: an assassin who is unparalleled in the world.
In the battle examples of Guan Yu's fame, almost all of them were killed with a single sword, and the enemy would never be left with the slightest chance. Guan Yu's explosiveness is very strong, like a lion fighting a rabbit, and the first three knives are fierce and abnormal. But after three knives, if the enemy can't be killed, then Guan Yu will enter the stalemate stage.
As Cao Di said in the polemic, again and again, again and again, and again and again, and again and again.
Many people in later generations said that Guan Yu's sword technique originated from Zuo Chuan Spring and Autumn Period, and there seems to be some truth.
At least when Guan Yu was fighting with others, there were some traces of Cao Di's polemics. Moreover, the red rabbit horse under his crotch at that time was also a sweaty BMW with super explosive power. The two work together to produce great power. And yet now...... The red rabbit horse is in the hands of Dian Wei, although Guan Yu's knife technique is still ruthless, the power is reduced by at least thirty percent.
And the red rabbit horse, saddle stirrup and horseshoe are fully equipped, which makes Dian Wei like a tiger with wings. After only thirty rounds, Guan Yu's sword skills began to scatter. Liu Bei watched the battle behind him, and he couldn't help but be frightened. He began to regret it, why didn't he bring Zhao Yun over? If Zhao Yun is here, then if he fights with Cao Ying, he will not suffer a big loss, at least in terms of generals.
"My lord, the second general and the third general don't seem to be able to stand it."
Chen Zhi stepped forward and whispered in Liu Bei's ear.
Liu Bei nodded slightly.
"The old thief Cao Ying didn't know what to put on Dian Wei Xu Chu's mount, which made the strength of these two people significantly improve in horsemanship.
The lord still remembers the confrontation with the old thief's tiger and leopard rider last year, and the tiger and leopard rider seemed to have such equipment. ”
Liu Bei nodded again, secretly deciding that he must find a way to find out this secret.
But at this time, he didn't care about thinking about Cao Ying's equipment. Seeing that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had already lost the upper hand, Liu Bei also knew that the time had come to fight to the death. Previously, he had been reluctant to attack, because he was worried that Cao Ying would have a back-up move...... No, there must be a back-move.
Who knows that Cao Ying hasn't made a move yet, and he can't resist it.
"Uncle Zhi, attack!"
As he spoke, Liu Bei drew out his male and female swords.
His male and female swords are more similar to a saber than a sword. The sword is unusually long, and it is also very wide. The two swords weigh thirty-six catties, and they can also be called two divine soldiers. These two swords were given by Dong Cheng after Liu Bei signed the edict of Xu Du. And the person who created these two big swords was Cao Peng's father, Cao Ji. At the beginning, Cao Ji became famous, and he had an agreement with Cao Hong to build a knife for Cao Hong every three months. This male and female sword was created at that time, and was later sold to Dong Cheng at a high price by Cao Hong's hands. In terms of texture, it is not as good as a pair of knives, but they are also two rare sharp weapons at that time...... Liu Bei, ready to fight in person!
In the martial arts competition, Liu Bei is definitely not as good as Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and even Guan Ping is better than him.
But he is not the kind of scholar who is helpless. Thinking that Zhuojun raised troops back then, Liu Bei also relied on his martial arts to kill many enemies.
It's just that later generations only said that Liu Bei looked bleak.
At this time, the sun has set and the sky is dark...... Both armies had already lit their torches, and when Cao Ying saw that Liu Bei was preparing to fight, he knew that Liu Bei might not be able to hold on!
It's just waiting for you to make a move!
Cao Ying drew his sword and pointed forward, "Le Jin, attack!" ”
The war drums rumbled, and Lejin's Changshui camp, like a sea of mountains, pounced on Liu Bei's soldiers and horses.
In an instant, the sound of shouting and killing echoed in the sky above Zhao Ying, and nearly 10,000 people were entangled in one place, knives and guns were exchanged back and forth, and the fighting was particularly tragic. In the firelight, a puddle of blood spurted out, and the stumps and broken arms were scattered on the ground. Le Jin gritted his teeth, stared, and the big knife in his hand flew over, killing a river of blood.
Boom, Boom...... The sound of war drums became louder and louder, and Cao Ying's eyes closed slightly.
"Zike, Gong Liu, attack!"
"Whoa!"
Lu Qian and Shi Jian couldn't bear it anymore, and the shouting of killing directly stimulated the blood of the two of them.
Hearing Cao Ying's order, the two immediately led their troops to rush out.
Cao Bin said: "Did you give an order to order the tiger and leopard to ride out?" ”
"No hurry!"
Cao Ying stared at the battlefield and said softly: "Wait a little longer! ”
