At dusk, the hot weather finally eased a little.

On the edge of the Yellow River, the turbid river water is turbulent, the momentum is like a dragon, and the sound of the waves sounded in the ears of the soldiers, with a trace of coolness.

A breeze blew from the southeast, and the armored soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. Many of the soldiers took off their helmets one after another, wanting to relax their sweaty heads. There are also many veteran oils, who have taken off their leather armor in this wind. The general who took the lead, compared to the lax soldiers, the clothes and armor on his body were quite neat, and this person was the famous general Han Meng of Hebei.

Han Meng was dressed in armor, riding on a sturdy red Liaodong horse, holding a Xuanhua axe, and his face was covered with sweat. I saw him pick up the water bag in his hand from time to time and drink a few big mouthfuls of water. The leather water bag is also hot in the sun, and the water in the water bag is also warm, just quenching thirst, not refreshing at all.

If there was a deep well on the side of the road at this time, Han Meng believed that he would definitely jump down immediately and be comfortable.

Behind Han Meng was a winding convoy.

Long, with no sides visible at a glance.

Two horses pulled a cart full of sacks of grain. Next to the car, there are stubborn soldiers. Of course, since he is a soldier who escorts grain and grass, he will naturally not be an elite. After all, this task of escorting grain and grass is not in enemy territory.

The soldiers were very lax in this difficult hot weather.

Along the way, the soldiers were loose. Most of the armor on his body was unfastened, and his helmet was lifted on his hands. The halberd was carried on the shoulder, lazy. The red tassels at the head and tail of the halberd fluttered in the breeze.

The road to the Guandu camp is quite wide.

After all, it is the Central Plains, and it is very flat everywhere.

On the side of the road, there are many trees, cicadas are bursting, and birds are flying from time to time.

The soldiers walked as far as they could, under the shade of the trees, just for that little shade.

Han Meng beat the horse in front, but he didn't care about the slackness of the soldiers. has been fighting for more than half a year, and the soldiers are already exhausted. Now that he has taken on the drudgery of escorting grain and grass, he must have been resentful in his heart for a long time. is not an elite soldier, so why bother asking for it.

Seeing that the sky was getting late, the sun was setting, and the evening breeze was gusting, Han Meng also breathed a sigh of relief.

I saw Han Meng "grunt", picked up the water bag and drank a big sip of water, and then shouted loudly behind him: "Walk for another hour, go down to the village and rest!" ”

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately let out a burst of cheers.

Escorting grain and grass is the most tiring. Although there is generally no worry about life, but when I go back and forth, I am tired enough.

Han Meng is fierce, but he is still generous, and he has always been the most considerate of the soldiers, but he has also won the hearts of the soldiers.

As dusk grew late and night came, Han Meng ordered his soldiers to carefully light torches to light the way.

After another half an hour, Han Meng had just finished taking a big sip of water, but he suddenly frowned.

This place is very empty, and any movement is spread quickly.

It turned out that the earth began to shake violently. As the shaking became more and more violent, a black line finally appeared in front of Han Meng's eyes, a strong and thick black line. The black line is accompanied by a little red.

It's a brigade of cavalry.

Han Meng's right eye jumped violently, and his heart was in a hurry. He never expected that he would meet Cao Jun's brigade of cavalry here!

This sudden change made everyone's hearts beat wildly. Thousands of cavalry let loose in the wilderness, and the sight was terrifying.

It was a group of miscellaneous soldiers, and when they saw the cavalry rushing towards them, everyone's hearts were filled with fear.

Han Mengqiang cheered up and shouted: "Enemy attack, formation!" ”

Han Meng's roar finally made these trembling soldiers react.

Although it is a group of miscellaneous soldiers, they also know the truth that they must not run blindly in the face of cavalry. You have two legs, can you outrun other people's war horses on four legs?

The best way to deal with cavalry is for heavy infantry to form a gun formation.

After all, in this era, cavalry is very expensive, but few cavalry generals can do such a thankless task as using cavalry to attack the infantry formation head-on.

The biggest role of cavalry is to attack and disturb in a roundabout way, sneak attack on the flank, and as for the frontal charge, a large number of foot soldiers are also required. Of course, heavy cavalry covered in iron bumps is another matter.

Han Meng looked at it, and the cavalry coming from the opposite side must be light cavalry. If it was heavy cavalry, the formation would be a little more fierce than it is now.

If it was really a heavy cavalry, Han Meng would definitely not say a word, and would retreat after beating the horse. But since it wasn't, Han Meng still planned to give it a try, even if the thousands of soldiers under his command were a group of miscellaneous soldiers.

With Han Meng's order, thousands of Hebei soldiers finally reacted. One by one, they put on their helmets and held spears and set up a formation around the grain cart.

The soldiers who were not in good clothes and armor did not have time to put on their armor. I saw that these soldiers had hideous faces, directly threw their armor aside, and went up with guns, but they were also a little arrogant.

Han Meng saw the cavalry rushing towards him, and the large array was finally in good shape, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

At this moment, Han Meng saw a red-faced man not far away, wearing a green robe, wearing iron armor on his shoulders, and a three-foot long beard under his chin, extremely powerful, and the BMW under him was also a divine horse.

This man was Guan Yu, the second master, but when he saw Guan Yu holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, he slammed the horse's belly and rushed towards Han Meng in a daze.

Seeing this, Han Meng was in a hurry, and hurriedly raised the Xuanhua big axe in his hand horizontally, wanting to resist Guan Yu's first blow. Hearing a loud "bang", sparks flew everywhere, Han Meng's arms trembled and numb, and he almost vomited blood. A huge force reverberated in Han Meng's body, making Han Meng in pain.

"This person is Guan Yu, the second brother of Liu Yuanjun!" Han Meng suddenly remembered who this person was.

Isn't it the Guan Yu who is indistinguishable from Yan Liang in Baima!

Han Meng was about to speak, but saw that the Green Dragon Glaive Knife in Guan Yu's hand had already taken advantage of the situation, and slashed down diagonally. Han Meng endured the pain, raised the Xuanhua axe in his hand, and blocked Guan Yu's blow with the axe.

Guan Yu was also surprised when he saw Han Meng blocking him twice in succession. Guan Yu couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, there are so many strong men under the command of Yuan Benchu!

But the movements on Guan Yu's hand did not stop at all, and as soon as the Qinglong Yanyue Knife turned, it slashed horizontally towards Han. Han Meng shouted loudly: "Xuande Gong"

But before Han Meng could finish shouting, the Qinglong Glaive Knife in Guan Yu's hand had already cut off his head, and blood splattered and rolled down.

Guan Yu was stunned, just now when Han Meng called "Xuande Gong", he intended to stop, but it was too late. Guan Yu frowned, put aside the doubts in his heart for the time being, and raised the blood-stained Blue Dragon Glaive Knife again, rushing towards the enemy formation.

The soldiers, who were already timid in their hearts, finally gathered a large array, but they didn't want to watch their master lose their lives in three or two rounds, and they were even more heartbroken for a while.

Guan Erye, who held the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand, seemed to be a demon god in the eyes of many soldiers.

The 3,000 Cao army elite cavalry saw that his main general was so brave, and naturally his spirit was greatly boosted and his morale was magnificent. The knights were armed with riding spears, poking and picking, very agile. The head of the spear was soon stained red with blood.

There is also the ring-headed knife wielded in the knight's hand, harvesting a head with each blow.

The so-called Great Array soon fell into chaos. 3,000 elite horsemen passed through the large array, harvesting countless lives, and the military formation distributed along the grain carts was soon killed and wounded.

Around the grain cart, there were corpses all over the place.

Finally, the morale-free foot soldiers finally collapsed in their hearts. Either surrender on your knees, or run away, the situation is already one-sided.

Guan Yu's face showed a proud smile.

This time, I can finally be worthy of Cao Gong's kindness! Guan Yu thought in his heart.

3,000 fine riders, one person and two horses came, which can be regarded as well prepared. Guan Yu glanced around and shouted: "One person carries a belt of food, puts it on the preparation horse, and burns the rest!" ”

Under Guan Yu's orders, the soldiers quickly took action. Bags of grain were placed on the horses, and hundreds of torches were lit and thrown onto the carts. Just listen to the sound of "buzz", one grain cart after another was ignited by the fire. The blazing flame lit up half of the night sky.

Sergeant Cao looked at the fire and laughed.

"Withdraw!" Guan Yu gave an order and took the lead in beating the horse away. The 3,000 soldiers were almost unharmed, followed closely behind Guan Yu, and rushed towards Guandu.

Guan Yu, who was riding on a horse, had no expression on his face.

At this time, Guan Yu was thinking about things. He remembered what Han Meng said before he died, the three words Xuande Gong.

Could it be that the eldest brother is really in Yuan Shaojun? Guan Yu suddenly had such a thought in his mind.

Guan Yu stroked his long hair and thought about it carefully. It seems that this is exactly the case, at that time, he was forced by Cao Jun, and Sun Ce of Jiangdong was to the south, and Qingzhou was to the north. After thinking about it, the most likely thing for his eldest brother was to go to Qingzhou and defect to Yuan Shao.

Thinking of this, Guan Yu was eager to know the news about the eldest brother.

If it was really in Yuan Shao's camp, Guan Yu would have to come to Cao Camp with a seal and seal gold.

It's just that when he thought that he had just killed Han Meng, the general under Yuan Shao, Guan Yu was a little worried about whether he would affect his eldest brother Liu Bei.

In fact, it is.

The sneak attack on Yan Liang in Baima the previous time had already greatly reduced Liu Bei's image in Yuan Shao's heart. The dispatch of Liu Bei to Runan to recruit the remnants of the Yellow Turbans that should have happened did not happen. As everyone knows, Liu Bei's opportunity to leap into the dragon gate has been lost.

However, for a hero like Liu Bei, how can he say it accurately?

Who knows, it is better to stay in Hebei than to go to Runan?

Soon, in the vast night, Guan Yu returned to Cao Ying safely with 3,000 elite horsemen.

When Cao Cao heard that Guan Yu had returned to the camp victoriously, he was overjoyed and personally went to the gate to greet him.

I saw Cao Cao wearing brocade clothes, sweeping the 3,000 cavalry behind Guan Yu, nodding secretly in his heart, and then looking at the grain bag on the horse's back, his heart was even more happy.

"Cao Gong, fortunately not disgraced!" Guan Yu jumped off the horse and said.

Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward to help Guan Yu up, and praised in his mouth: "Yun Chang, the real tiger is also!" ”
