Just when the sun was rising, the deployment of the armies of Guan Yu and Gao Shun had been completed. Gao Shun took the headquarters of the trapped camp as the central army, Cao Xing's crossbowmen as the stragglers, Wei Yue's department as the left wing, and Xue Lan's department as the right wing, and discharged a crane wing array. As for Guan Yu, he took the school knife hand as the vanguard, and the cavalry was on the left flank, discharging a disguised fish scale array.

As long as anyone who knows a little about the art of war formation can see that these two formations are obviously inclined to attack, it can be seen that both sides of the war have no intention of defending in this battle.

If you attack against attack, the battle will be more intense, and the victory and defeat will be divided more quickly.

The first round of battles begins between the rangers and skirmishers on both sides.

Cao Xing himself is good at riding and shooting, and among the crossbowmen under him, there is also a special horse archer, which is the one he took out to pursue Guan Yu. It can be said that the main force of the cavalry under Gao Shun is mainly under Cao Xing. At the very beginning of the battle, these mounted archers broke away from their main formation and fought against the rangers from the north.

Guan Yu's legion is a comprehensive legion, and it has always been the goal of being alone. In this way, Guan Yu's legion has all kinds of troops, and there are also skirmishers who are good at riding and shooting. Perhaps compared with other Jizhou legions, Guan Yu's cavalry and stragglers are not outstanding, but they are by no means ordinary.

Hundreds of skirmishers, right in front of the armies of both sides, engaged in brief but fierce chases, shootings, and dog fights.

There are many veterans from Bingzhou in the cavalry archer of Lu Bujun's army, and their combat effectiveness is naturally very high. However, compared with the Hu cavalry archers directly recruited by Zhang Qiang from the grassland, the soldiers of Lu Bujun's army inevitably suffered some losses in terms of personal combat effectiveness.

The so-called "one Han and five Hu" is the comprehensive combat power improvement brought by the Han cavalry in terms of weapons and equipment, logistics and supply, and organization and training. However, after being also equipped with good equipment, coupled with the excellent organization and training provided by the Han civilization, the Hu people have practiced riding and archery skills since childhood. Obviously, it is slightly higher than the Han cavalry.

The skirmishers lost a slight defeat, but it didn't make Gao Shun change his face. With the so-called "Ten Thousand Years Stone Face" in the army, he decisively issued an order to make the straggler knights take a step back, and ordered the two wings to launch a tentative attack.

Wei Yue is Lu Bu's brother-in-law and Wei Xu's brother. He fought with Lu Bu for many years. Proficient in small squad Ranger tactics. However, in terms of leading troops to fight head-on, and fighting with infantry, Wei Yue did not have anything outstanding. Gao Shun didn't expect him to be able to do anything, as long as Wei Xu sent a team of people to tentatively harass him.

In contrast, Xue Lan on the right made Gao Shun feel much more reliable. Xue Lan was born in a humble family, and he was one of the few cronies under Lu Bu who was proficient in literature and ink. Although he is not good at martial arts, he is quite skilled in commanding and dispatching manpower. There was a military formation commanded by Xue Lan. It's much stronger than Wei Xuke.

In the face of Gao Shun's tentative attack from both wings, Guan Yu calmly ordered to attack from both flanks to suppress Lu Bu's army, and then directly hit over and surround Gao Shun's trapped camp. In this battle, what is fought is the real combat strength of both sides, not the likes of Taoluo. Because. Not every battle has the opportunity to use stratagem.

The real confrontation between the two sides began.

In the battle between the two flanks, the battle fell into a temporary stalemate. Guan Yu's soldiers are more elite. The soldiers on Gao Shun's side were slightly more numerous. Since no one was fully exerted, although both sides were killed, they both maintained their own fronts.

On the front lines of the battle, the soldiers at the front of the line cover their bodies with shields to resist enemy attacks. While attacking the enemy's defense line with weapons such as spears and broadswords. Of course, most of the attack power will eventually fall on the shield, turning into a battle of spear and shield quality. A lot of the time it's a few steps back for the fighter. End a one-on-one confrontation by replacing your own damaged weapon.

The two sides fought for half an hour, and the contact surface of the front was three or four hundred paces wide, but the casualties caused by each other were only a few dozen. From this, it can be seen that the battle on both flanks was not put into full force.

In fact, for those who are not elite, this kind of encounter is the most normal. The kind of scene where the heads of people who are killed at the first glance and the blood splashes will only appear when the extremely elite troops are dispatched. If even ordinary troops could have fought such a tragic battle, many battles would not have lasted long at all, and it would have been difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat.

However, in the next moment, the battle between the two wings suddenly stopped. Many people forgot about the fight for a while, held their breath, and became spectators in a nervous mood. This is because the two strongest armies on both sides are approaching in great strides. After a few breaths, a decisive bloody battle will begin between the trapping camp and the school knife man. The outcome of this battle will ultimately determine the outcome of this battle.

The movement of the trapped camp is uniform. The steps of 700 people formed a beat. Although the number of people is not too large, the momentum is better than that of thousands of troops.

If you listen blindfolded, most people will hear the footsteps of the camp advancing as if a huge giant was moving. The thunderous sound of footsteps is enough to scare some people with bad hearts out of problems!

As the commander of 700 people, Gao Shun did not take the lead. He stood on the command car, holding drumsticks in both hands, beating rhythmically. The deep and melodious drum beat is the baton of the 700 soldiers trapped in the camp. Even though the battlefield at this time is full of all kinds of drums, the drums played by Gao Shun himself are different.

Through rigorous training, every soldier in the camp was able to hear the meaning of the Gaoshun drum. Therefore, this army does not even need a flag for command!

The trapped camp is moving, and Gao Shun is also moving. The command vehicle he accommodated was towed by more than a dozen soldiers, maintaining the same movement speed as the trapped camp. Relying on this kind of marching coercion alone, the trapped camp has won many times without a fight, causing the enemy on the opposite side to spontaneously cause collapse.

The five words "everything that is struck will be broken" needs to have enough victories to be successfully cast.

Obviously, this momentum has made the school knife players, who are extremely strict in selection and training, also waver to a certain extent. However, when Guan Yu rode a war horse and entered the formation of the school swordsman, the wavering of the school swordsman was immediately stopped. But this also proves that the school knife hand may still be a little worse than the trapping camp.

Of course, Guan Yu could see the possible gap between the two forces. He entered the school knife hand formation with a calm face, and the green dragon knife was raised, and he roared:

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

The school knife players shouted in unison.

With a command, the school knife hands lined up in a phalanx poked the long-handled broadsword diagonally forward, forming a row of knife walls. The row of cold and shining blades looked infinitely hideous.

"Enter!"

Guan Yu shouted again.

"Enter!"

The school knife hand echoed in unison.

When Guan Yu led the school knife hand into the battlefield in person, the school knife hand seemed to have the backbone, and with an unafraid momentum, he stepped on heavy steps and advanced like a forest.

-- Finally ready for a war......

Guan Yu thought a little depressed in his heart. He originally thought that he had looked at Gao Shun high enough, but he didn't expect that in fact, he still underestimated Gao Shun!

The pace of neither side is fast. However, in the process of advancing each other, the distance between the two armies soon changed from 300 steps to 200 steps, 200 steps to 100 steps, 100 steps to 50 steps, 40 steps, 30 steps, 20 steps, 10 steps, and finally, to collide head-on!

"Knock knock!"

Gao Shun's drum beat suddenly became high-pitched. And Guan Yu, who was in the middle of the knife array, also burst out with a "Slash!" "Word come!

The sword is awe-inspiring, and it is slashed head-on. The soldiers of the trapping camp raised the weapons in their hands and rushed forward. In the face of the shining blade that can cut life and death, none of the soldiers in the camp flinched.

In the midst of the clashing of weapons, the continuous drumming suddenly stopped. And this means only one thing to the soldiers who are trapped in the camp:

Full assault!

The camp, which was originally neat and tidy, suddenly became "chaotic". Soldiers who were close to each other quickly joined together, and according to the weapons they used, they formed a small formation of five people. The school knife fighters, who had already aimed at their own targets, suddenly found that some of them had lost the enemies under their swords, and some of them had to face multiple enemies at the same time.

At the very beginning, the battle entered the white heat.

The big knife of the school knife hand is an extremely difficult weapon to resist. Under Guan Yu's strict requirements, a qualified school knife player must be able to do it, and turn a cavalryman into a "man and horse"!

However, if the swordkeeper's broadsword misses, or if the trapped camp uses various weapons or shields to parry, then the tragedy of the schoolman's sword maker comes. Long-handled broadswords are not too suitable for hand-to-hand combat.

The clashing of weapons continued, with occasional death-threatening screams and heavy breathing. Whether it is the trapping camp or the school knife hand, they have always remained silent in the battle.

These experienced fighters know that shouting in battle is just a waste of precious physical strength. Only recruits who need to rely on howling to be emboldened will do so. For veterans who can fight to the death without retreating, howling will only expose their own weakness......

From the point of view of weapons, the school knife hand has the advantage. From the point of view of armor, the trap camp has the advantage. Judging from the training of the military formation, the trap camp has the advantage. From the point of view of single strength, the school knife hand is superior.

In the short time of half a pillar of incense, the trapping camp and the school knife hand fell like cutting wheat. And the fighters in the rear did not hesitate to automatically fill the gap in front. The bodies of the dead on both sides quickly piled up on the staggered front. Soon, on the front of nearly 100 paces, a separation belt reaching people's knees was piled up.

The thousands of soldiers from both sides who watched the battle on both wings were dumbfounded, and their hands and feet were cold. They can swear that they have never seen such a tragic battle in their lives. At this moment, they had a deep fear in their hearts for both sides of the war.

- Thankfully, we don't have to go to the ......

This is the common thought of the soldiers who watched it. (To be continued......)
