Guan Yu walked to the map, looked at the map, and was sketching out this combat strategy in his mind. His intention was to attack the Lü Bu army head-on with more than 20,000 people of the Nanyang army in order to contain them, and at the same time, Liu Bei's main force went out of Xiangyang to attack the Lü Bu army, and under the attack on both sides, in Guan Yu's view, the Lü Bu army must be defeated. Guan Yu smiled proudly and muttered, "Lu Bu, this battle is going to kill you!" ”

Liu Bei received Guan Yu's reply, revealing a thoughtful look, and said to Xu Shu on the side: "Yuan Zhi, Yun Chang plans to take the initiative to attack, let us attack from the flank!" ……”

Xu Shu was shocked: "Yun Chang is too confident!" How can his strategy compare to Zhuge Liang! Sticking to the party is the best policy! Lu Bu's army has little food, or it won't be long before he retreats on his own! ”

"Hold on?! Hum! Hold on and defeat the enemy?! Zhang Fei said angrily and looked at Liu Bei, "I think the second brother's strategy is very good!" This battle is bound to capture and kill Lu Bu! As soon as Lu Bu dies, we can take advantage of the momentum to move westward! ”

Xu Shu hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "The lord's current situation is not easy for men!" Don't take any chances! Otherwise, it is very likely that the gains outweigh the losses! ”

Liu Bei hesitated, and after a long while, he raised his head. looked at Zhang Fei, then at Xu Shu, and said with emotion: "I am now nearly half a hundred years old, and I don't have much time left for me!" Take a risk when you have to! If Yun Chang's plan is successful, our army can take advantage of the situation to advance westward, and the situation will open up all of a sudden! It's a risk worth taking! ”

Xu Shu saw that Liu Bei had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything more, and nodded, "Since the lord has made up his mind, then he must be fully prepared!" In addition, let General Guan send more scouts, in case of a situation, do not hesitate, immediately withdraw to Fancheng! Liu Bei nodded, and said to the herald: "Just pass it to Yun Chang according to the words of the military advisor!" The herald ran down as promised.

Subsequently, Liu Bei ordered all armies in Xiangyang to prepare, wait for Guan Yu's signal, and attack at any time, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts.

Zhang Lang looked at the map and said with a puzzled expression: "Strange thing! A lot of scouts suddenly came out of Xiangyang City! Is there anything they can't do? ”

Zhuge Liang pondered: "Do you want to take the initiative?" Chao Zhang Lang hugged his fists and said: "General, we should strengthen our vigilance!" Zhang Lang nodded, called the herald, and ordered the armies to be vigilant and ready to go into battle at any time.

Night has fallen, tonight's night is particularly dark, you can't see your fingers, there is no wind, no starlight, no moonlight, there is a quiet piece between heaven and earth, so quiet that people panic.

Fancheng.

Guan Yu gathered 4,500 men and horses and prepared to leave the city. Guan Ping hurriedly said: "Father, Mi Fang's men haven't arrived yet, should they attack?" Guan Yu said confidently: "They're almost there!" If they wait for their men and horses to arrive, Ma Chao will also be vigilant, this time is the best time, Ma Chao and they must be defenseless! By the time we disrupt Ma Chao's army, Mi Fang's army must have arrived, and as soon as they join the battlefield, Ma Chao's army will definitely be defeated! Then we are fighting with the big brother in Lu Bu's headquarters! This battle will be won! Guan Ping showed admiration.

Guan Yu waved the Green Dragon Glaive Knife, "Attack!" ”

The gates opened, and four thousand five hundred men poured out of the city in the thick of the night.

Kill! Ma Tie, who was about to rest, suddenly heard the sound of killing outside, and was taken aback, and quickly picked up his spear and ran out of the big tent. Seeing that Guan Yu had already led the army into the camp, his own army hurriedly met the battle and was retreating. Ma Tie was frightened and anxious, and hurriedly stepped on his war horse, and while ordering all battalions to hurry up to meet the battle, he led nearly a thousand cavalry to pounce. A charge passed, and the forward of the Nanyang Army was crushed!

Shoot the arrows! The Nanyang army fired arrows one after another while running, and the unsuspecting Ma Tiebu climbed on his horse. Guan Yu led the warriors to take the opportunity to rush up and kill, Guan Yu took the lead, there was no one in the place where the Qinglong Yanyue Knife passed, blood and water flew all over the sky, Guan Yu was like a god of war.

Ma Tie couldn't resist the enemy, he was defeated, the camp was in chaos, and the Nanyang warriors led by Guan Yu were like no one. The flames rose into the sky.

Liu Bei, who was on the other side of the Xiangjiang River, was overjoyed when he saw this scene, "Okay! Well done second brother! "Immediately led an army of 100,000 out of Xiangyang to kill Lu Bu's army. Zhang Lang Shuai 25,000 horsemen to meet the battle. The two sides clashed fiercely on the south bank of the Xiangjiang River, and it was difficult to distinguish between the top and the bottom.

After the initial confusion, the armies gradually gathered together and continued to counterattack. This is the difference between elite and mediocrity, if it is an ordinary army, the previous chaos will quickly turn into a big defeat, while the elite is different, in the face of adversity they can constantly organize counterattacks.

Ma Tie was overjoyed when he found that the enemy was limited in number, and urged all armies to keep charging towards the Nanyang Army. Waves of cavalry charged towards the Nanyang army one after another, a sound of horses' hooves sounded and then a sound of horses' hooves, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the advantages obtained by the Nanyang army were gradually exhausted, and there were more and more casualties!

Guan Yu slashed over a cavalryman who rushed up, and suddenly heard a rumbling sound behind him, and hurriedly looked back, only to see that there was a crowd of people in the night, as if infinite people were coming. Guan Yu was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Mi Fang's army has arrived!" Rush with me! ”

The morale of the Nanyang army was greatly boosted, and an all-out charge was launched, and everyone was as imposing as a tiger. A troop of cavalry engaged with them could not resist and was killed on their backs. Ma Tie was shocked, pursed his lips, raised his horse lance and shouted: "Never retreat!" Assault of the whole army! ”

Kill! All the assault cavalry, under the leadership of Ma Tie, rushed up against the Nanyang army led by Guan Yu. The two sides slammed into each other, like two giant Langs colliding with each other, and then a scuffle broke out, and everyone desperately beckoned their weapons to each other, and they all looked so crazy! Shouts, screams, and the clashing of weapons rang out, and blood flew all over the sky!

Just when the two sides were fighting each other, the army arrived! To the surprise of Guan Yu and all the Nanyang troops, it turned out to be all cavalry, and the surging cavalry was like a fast tide of Lang! Many Nanyang troops can't help but think: When did we have so many cavalry?

Soon they knew the answer, where were his reinforcements, it turned out to be more than 20,000 cavalry led by Ma Chao! It turned out that Ma Chao and the main force of the commandos under his command were not in the camp, and they went to the north of Fancheng to ambush according to Zhuge Liang's order, and the target was Mi Fang's 20,000 reinforcements. Not long ago, they all annihilated Mi Fang's department, which was rushing to Fancheng at full speed, and then received the news that Guan Yu was attacking the camp, so Ma Chao left a department to clean up the battlefield, and he quickly returned to the main force. When they arrived at the battlefield, Guan Yu and the others thought that their reinforcements had arrived.

Seeing this scene, the officers and soldiers of the Nanyang Army panicked and didn't know what to do, and Guan Yu was also shocked.
