Chapter 154: Great Defeat

Although Guan Yu is arrogant, he is very cautious when he does not cross the river, and at the same time as the army crosses the river, a large number of scouts are responsible for guarding the surroundings, and once there is any hostile situation, they can warn Guan Yu at the first time.

Time gradually passed, and more and more troops crossed the Xiangjiang River, Guan Yu did not rush to let the troops crossing the Xiangjiang River go to Xiangyang City, but ordered them to set up a position on the spot, ready to fight at any time.

The sun has turned west, and nearly 40,000 troops have crossed the Xiangjiang River through the guò pontoon bridge, and these 40,000 horses have formed a zigzag formation on the side of the Xiangjiang River, with 20,000 people in front and 20,000 Chinese troops in the rear. In each battle, the shield bearer is in the front, and the crossbowman is in the back, waiting for the battle.

Sou! A ringing arrow suddenly rose from the west. Seeing this, Guan Yu was not surprised and muttered, "It's a good time!" I'm waiting for you! He turned his head and shouted at the heralds: "Tell the heralds, prepare for battle!" Command the rear army to cross the river as much as possible! ”

The howl sounded, and all the soldiers clenched their weapons in their hands and looked at the west, some with grim expressions, some nervous expressions, and some with very excited expressions. The whole formation was as quiet as a mountain, and the swords and guns were already unsheathed, radiating a heavy cold glow in the light of the setting sun.

A moment later, 30,000 horsemen led by Ma Chao appeared, surging like a tide. Ma Chao shook his body in silver armor, wore a long helmet, rode a black horse, and held an iron horse lance, heroic and powerful!

Guan Yu saw Ma Chao from afar, and when he thought of the legend about him, he couldn't help but be angry, and he wanted to compete with him.

Ma Chao raised the iron horse lance in his hand, and the 30,000 horsemen immediately stopped, turning into a silent forest, with only the battle flag hunting in the wind. Ma Chao galloped out, came to the front of the two armies, and shouted: "I am Xiliang Ma Chao, who dares to fight to the death with me?" ”

Guan Yu smiled coldly, snatched the Blue Dragon Glaive from Zhou Cang's hand, and rode out. When he came to Ma Chaoma, he said proudly: "I am Guan Yu, the second brother of Xuande Gong!" Do you recognize me? Ma Chao glanced at him and said mockingly: "I, the prince of Ma Chao's generation, how can I recognize a nameless person like you!" Guan Yu was furious, "Arrogant boy, take your life!" With a shout, he urged the horse to gallop out, brandishing the Qinglong Glaive Knife and slashing at Ma Chao's head.

With a loud bang, Ma Chao raised the iron horse lance to hold the Qinglong Glaive Knife, his arms trembled slightly, and he was secretly horrified in his heart. With a twist of his eyebrows, his arms suddenly pushed up hard, pushing the Qinglong Yanyue Knife away. Guan Yu immediately slashed several knives in a row, the balance of power sank vigorously, Ma Chao waved his gun to block, and the weapons of the two sides collided with a loud sound, and the sound shook the sky. The soldiers on both sides couldn't help but shout, and the war drums beat loudly.

Guan Yu swung a knife at Ma Chao's head, Ma Chao leaned back to dodge, and then stabbed straight at Guan Yu's chest with a horse lance in his right hand, like a poisonous dragon out of a hole! Guan Yu was startled, turned sideways to avoid it, and then, with his right hand, he dragged the Qinglong Glaive Knife to the ground, and the Qinglong Glaive Knife drew a large arc on the ground and roared towards Ma Chao. Ma Chao didn't expect his move, he narrowly avoided it at the last moment, he was annoyed in his heart, and used twelve points of strength to counterattack, and the spear poured towards Guan Yu like mercury. Guan Yu resisted with all his might, occasionally counterattacked, and the sound of the collision of weapons on both sides sounded like firecrackers!

The sun had completely set, and the heavens and the earth had suddenly darkened. Ma Chao, who was fighting with Guan Yu, showed a strange smile. With a swing of the lance, he forced Guan Yu away, turned his horse's head and ran back towards his own army. Seeing this, Guan Yu was worried about deception, so he didn't chase after him, and returned to the military formation with the reins of his horse.

Ma Chao returned to the front of the military formation and raised his voice: "The whole army listens to the order and attacks!" ”

Thirty thousand horsemen shouted, and Lang rushed out. Guan Yu, who had just returned to the formation, frowned when he saw this, and suddenly found that it was dark, and he secretly screamed that it was not good!

30,000 turquoise horsemen surged towards the Jingzhou army like a monstrous giant, and there seemed to be infinite people and horses in the night, and the entire world ahead became a sea of waves! The earth trembled violently, and the rumbling thunder, from far and near, shook people's eardrums! The Jingzhou army had never faced such a might, and couldn't help but get nervous.

"Shoot the arrows!" With Liao Hua's order, the crossbowmen of the Jingzhou Army fired arrows together, and the rain of arrows roared out, like flying locusts! Falling into the attack tide of Lu Bu's army, it caused a ripple. Immediately afterwards, countless arrows flew out of the surging tide and fell into the middle of the Jingzhou army, screaming one after another, and many soldiers were shot to the ground.

The front line of attack suddenly surged into a clear field of vision, like a demon that had suddenly come to the human world from the underworld. All the officers and men of the Jingzhou Army were nervous. Immediately afterwards, a heavy crash sounded one after another, and the surging assault cavalry fiercely crashed into the shield defense line of the Jingzhou army! The Jingzhou army showed signs of collapse in an instant! The Jingzhou army rushed to the ground and had never faced such a terrible cavalry, and they were panicked and frightened!

While being shocked, Guan Yu hurriedly ordered the left and right armies to move closer to the Chinese army. 10,000 soldiers and horses each of the left and right armies hurried to reinforce them.

However, at this moment, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves suddenly came from the rear of the right army! The officers and men of the Right Army, who were rushing to the reinforcements of the Chinese army, were stunned for a moment, and quickly stopped, looked to the rear, and dimly saw countless cavalry rushing over. The officers and men of the right army were shocked and hurriedly turned around to prepare for the battle, but the right army that was in motion could not talk about the formation at all!

In a blink of an eye, the five thousand horsemen led by Ma Tie were killed, the iron hooves trampled through the earth, and the men and horses roared. slammed into the middle of the right army, surging forward, killing the Jingzhou soldiers on their backs! The Jingzhou army was terrified, and they threw down their weapons and ran backwards, but they were suddenly chased by the blue wolf army, and the corpses were all over the field!

Guan Yu couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the chaos of the right army. Just as he was thinking about how to deal with it, the rout had already rushed in, rushing the formation to pieces, Ma Tiesuo's troops suddenly rode into the Jingzhou Army, the entire Jingzhou Army front wavered, and the 30,000 cavalry of Ma Chao's Department who were attacking head-on violently broke through the Jingzhou Army defense line and poured into the formation! The Jingzhou army was defeated like a mountain, and the routs poured towards the Xiangjiang River like a tide. Guan Yu was no longer able to return to the sky, so he could only run away from the north of the grass.

The blue wolf army rode fiercely and killed, the screams resounded through the sky, and the soldiers of the Jingzhou army rolled all over the mountains like gourds rolling on the ground. At this point, it was no longer a battle, but a massacre! In front of the fierce blue wolf army iron cavalry, the Jingzhou army is like a flock of sheep with nowhere to escape!

Tens of thousands of soldiers rushed onto the pontoon bridge to cross the river, and they were terrified and just wanted to escape from the river as soon as possible, and they didn't care about anything else! Soldiers are constantly being squeezed down the river and drifting away with the waves!
