Chapter 423: Guan Yu's Request

"Yun Chang, return to the battle!" Xu Huang shouted at Guan Yu in the big array. Guan Yu's martial arts, Xu Huang knows, and any general of the Cao army will not fall behind in a single fight, but the problem is that after losing two generals in succession, the soldiers of the Cao army are likely to be annoyed and angry and rush up, as the so-called two fists are hard to defeat four hands, Xu Huang called Guan Yu back to the formation to avoid accidents.

Guan Yu waved the Qinglong Yanyue knife, leaving a dashing back for the Cao army soldiers, and calmly returned to Xu Huang's side, just at this time the 50,000 Han troops led by Guan Yu also rushed to the battlefield, under the leadership of Liao Hua and Zhou Cang, and Xu Huang joined forces, and the 300,000 army of the Cao army was far away.

Li Jin and Yue Xi, the two tiger generals, originally wanted to highlight the battle formation to block Guan Yu, but they were not completely sure that they would be able to defeat Guan Yu, and now was not the time to be brave, the two of them were also responsible for commanding their respective subordinates to fight, so they did not stop it, and let Guan Yu and Xu Huang gather together.

Seeing that the Han army had more Guan Yu's powerful arm help, and at the same time there were 50,000 reinforcements, Cao Cao's brows wrinkled together unconsciously, Xu Huang was not easy to deal with, and now there is another Guan Yu, how can Cao Cao not frown? His eyes turned around Guan Yu's body, Cao Cao rode his horse and took a few steps forward, and said loudly: "Yun Chang! Don't come unharmed? ”

Guan Yu put away the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in the Han army array, and said to Cao Cao: "King Wei, Guan Mou was rude today, and I hope King Wei will forgive me." Guan Yu always remembered that when he went thousands of miles to find Zhang Fei, he killed six generals after five passes, and took away the BMW Ziqiu, but Cao Cao not only did not hold a grudge against him, but instead promulgated two customs documents one after another, allowing Guan Yu to pass, Guan Yu had said that he had written down Cao Cao's favor, and he had never had the opportunity to repay Cao Cao since then. Now seeing Cao Cao coming out to talk to him, Guan Yu called Cao Cao the King of Wei out of courtesy.

"Yun Chang, when you were looking for your brother thousands of miles away, Lone sent you two clearance documents in a row, and also gave you Zi Wei, do you remember all of this?" Cao Cao saw Guan Yuken talking to him, and he must have told the past in his heart. Let's see if I can persuade Guan Yu not to interfere in the battle between the two armies today.

Guan Yu replied loudly: "King Wei's kindness in the past, Guan naturally didn't dare to forget it, but before the two armies fought today, Guan didn't dare to talk about his personal feelings, and hoped that King Wei would forgive his sins. ”

Guan Yu said this, which was tantamount to cutting off Cao Cao's intention to divide Guan Yu, and told Cao Cao clearly. He will not stay away today.

Seeing that he had just started talking, he was rejected by Guan Yu, Cao Cao was really a little depressed in his heart, he didn't expect Guan Yu to kill at this critical moment. disrupted all his plans, but things had already happened, and Cao Cao could no longer avoid or use words to squeeze Guan Yu and keep him out of the matter. Now that Huairou's methods have lost their effect, Cao Cao no longer hesitated, and waved his horsewhip and pointed forward. He ordered the generals under his command: "Charge into battle!" ”

After receiving Cao Cao's order, Li Jin and Yue Xi were separated from the left and right wings, and Xiahoudun and Cao Ren formed the Chinese army one after the other, and the three-way army roared and rushed towards the Han army.

If it comes to fighting alone, Xu Huang may be slightly inferior to Guan Yu, but if he is commanding the battle, Xu Huang is a real famous general in the world, seeing Cao Jun pounced on him in three ways, Xu Huang was not afraid, and shouted loudly: "Join the formation!" Fish scale set yoke! Xu Shu, who was not far from Xu Huang's big array, immediately commanded the Han army and Xu Huang to converge in one place, and formed a fish scale array on the periphery of Xu Huang's army, surrounding Xu Huang's subordinates in the array, and Xu Huang's headquarters Han army quickly adjusted its pace and arranged it into a yoke array, which was connected with the fish scale array of Xu Shu on the periphery, and together formed a large array that was like fish scales on the outside and a yoke on the inside, both offensive and defensive.

After the battle array was ready, Xu Huang saw that Cao Jun still had a short distance to kill in front of his formation, so he hurried up and said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, you command your subordinates to line up the front arrow formation, and when the battle falls into a stalemate, kill from the two-layer large array and take Cao Cao directly!" "Feelings, Xu Huang's battle array is not only a combination of the fish scale array and the yoke array, he even counted the 50,000 Han troops brought by Guan Yu, the three battle formations are closely linked to each other, and each battle array needs to be extremely accurately grasped and controlled, Xu Huang's ability to command the battle is highlighted.

On the battlefield, any veteran with combat experience knows that his back can only be handed over to his absolutely trusted comrades, otherwise, he will definitely die a miserable death. Now, Xu Huang did not hesitate to hand over his back and the backs of more than 100,000 Han soldiers to Guan Yu. Xu Huang's trust in Guan Yu once again made Guan Yu feel a warm current in his heart, Xu Huang's words, full of absolute trust, did not regard Guan Yu as an outsider at all, let alone a little bit of vigilance, Zhang Xiu is like this, and now Xu Huang is also like this, which makes Guan Yu, who has not clearly stated his attitude, feel extremely relieved, aside from his feelings for Liu Bei, in Guan Yu's opinion, to be able to fight with such elite soldiers, and to be able to be with Zhang Xiu, Xu Huang, such a clear-minded, magnanimous general, and honor!

Not long after the Han army set up a good battle array, the three-way Cao army was killed in front of him, the two armies collided fiercely together, knife to knife, spear to spear, soldier to soldier, general to general, just contacted, it entered the white-hot stage, the soldiers on both sides did not leave the slightest hand, every soldier is fighting bloodily!

Cao Army's equipment and individual combat ability, is their disadvantage, compared to the equipment and the soldiers' fighting will and fighting skills, there is no army in the world today can be compared with the Han Army, but the Cao Army also has their advantages, that is, the number is nearly three times that of the Han Army, and, in terms of high-end combat power, the Cao Army headed by Xiahoudun, Li Jin and Yue Xi and other generals is obviously slightly higher than the Han Army.

So this battle, although extremely fierce, although someone will die in every blink of an eye, but in fact, no one can help anyone, the Cao army cannot break through the defense line of the Han army, but the Han army is also powerless to repel the Cao army.

Cao Cao watched coldly for a long time, and suddenly said to Cao Chun beside him: "Take the tiger and leopard to ride, attack the ribs of the Han army, and strive to open a breakthrough there!" At this moment, the troops staying by Cao Cao's side, there are only two elite teams of tiger and leopard cavalry and tiger guards, in order to win, Cao Cao did not hesitate to send the tiger and leopard cavalry out. After Cao Chun received Cao Cao's order. Immediately led 20,000 tigers and leopards to rush out, and the goal was to directly take the place where the ribs of the two large arrays inside and outside the Han army were connected, in an attempt to cut off the connection of the Han army's battle formation here, and separate the two layers of battle formations inside and outside the Han army.

The tiger and leopard cavalry is Cao Cao's carefully built cavalry troops, and its status in Wei is similar to that of the Longxiang Army of the Northern Han Dynasty, whether it is war horses or equipment and the quality of soldiers, it is second to none in Wei, and it is the trump card army that Cao Cao spent a lot of money and hard work to cultivate. Originally. Cao Cao originally wanted to imitate the dragon and leopard heavy cavalry to form the tiger and leopard cavalry, but Cao Cao did not have Ao Lie's knowledge from later generations, and he did not know the existence of the three treasures on the horse, so the soldiers of the tiger and leopard cavalry were often overwhelmed by their war horses after wearing heavy armor, and they could not carry them for long-term battles at all. But in the end, it failed, and the reason still appeared in the problem of war horses, ordinary war horses simply could not afford too heavy armor for long-term battles, and there was nothing to do. Cao Cao spent a lot of money to buy good horses, and on the other hand, he urged his craftsmen to improve the toughness of the armor, and at the same time found a way to reduce the weight of the armor, and finally. Cao Cao finally found a balance point, and thus formed this elite tiger and leopard cavalry, although the equipment and war horses of the tiger and leopard riders were not as good as those of the dragon and leopard heavy cavalry. But their will to fight was not bad at all, except for the dragon cavalry, they could be called the first heavy cavalry at that time.

Therefore, after Cao Chun joined the battle, the rib front of the Han army felt pressure, and Xu Huang quickly felt this, commanding his subordinates to shrink proportionally to the ribs, wanting to relieve the pressure there. Xiahoudun and other generals of the Cao army, who were in the war, immediately made corresponding adjustments after discovering Xu Huang's adjustment, and Li Jin led the men and horses of the headquarters to converge with Cao Chun, and attacked the ribs of the Han army.

After Xu Huang led his troops to fight for a while, he turned his head to Guan Yu and said, "Yun Chang, it's now!" Please! ”

Guan Yu nodded slightly, two rays of light burst out in Danfeng's eyes, and he rushed forward with a wave of the Qinglong Yanyue Knife to kill it, and Liao Hua and Zhou Cang led 50,000 Han troops to follow, like a huge arrow, taking advantage of the moment when the strategic focus of the Cao army shifted to the ribs, it stabbed straight towards Cao Cao's location! Now by Cao Cao's side, only a 20,000 elite Tiger Guard is guarding Cao Cao, and the Tiger Guard's main and deputy commanders Yan Liang and Wen Chou have been killed by Guan Yu, lacking unified scheduling, Guan Yu at this time the sword went sideways, leading his troops to kill Cao Cao, but it really scared the generals of the Cao Army who were fighting, if Guan Yu broke into Cao Cao's side, Cao Cao Yan could have his life?

In the battle formation of Cao Junzhong's army, Cao Ren shouted: "Cao Hong, you go and take the position of General Li Jin!" General Li Jin, hurry back to the king! Under Cao Ren's order, Li Jin hurriedly took his horse's head and ran behind him with thousands of Cao troops from his headquarters, trying to rush to Cao Cao's side one step ahead of Guan Yu. Cao Hong, on the other hand, led his headquarters and moved laterally from the Chinese army to the left flank, intending to make up for the gap left by Li Jin's retreat.

As soon as these two men and horses were mobilized, it immediately caused a little chaos in the originally very smooth Cao army array, and the offensive quietly weakened, Xu Huang had a keen insight into this opportunity, Tiangang axe was raised high, pointing to the chaos in the Cao army array, and shouted: "Kill!" Five thousand Han troops gathered around Xu Huang and rushed towards the chaos brought by Cao Hong.

On the other side, Guan Yu relied on the speed of the purple horse, shook off the large army and rode alone to rush to the vicinity of Cao Cao, the Qinglong Yanyue knife was like the blade of the sea god that chopped the waves, breaking through the layers of protection of the Tiger Guard, after killing more than a dozen Tiger Guard elites one after another, Guan Yu rushed to Cao Cao's front in the shortest possible time, without waiting for Cao Cao to react, Guan Yu swung the big knife, and the cold blade had already reached Cao Cao's neck, at this time, Li Jin, who returned to Cao Cao's aid, only had time to rush ten steps away, and was powerless to stop Guan Yu's broadsword, As long as Guan Yu's blade turned, Cao Cao's head would fall to the ground.

Just when Li Jin was desperate to close his eyes, he suddenly heard Guan Yu say loudly: "King Wei, today is the time for Guan to repay King Wei's kindness, as long as King Wei orders the troops to retreat quickly, Guan will never embarrass King Wei!" ”

When the Qinglong Glaive knife was put on his neck, Cao Cao was already scared out of a cold sweat, this time he was careless, he didn't expect Xu Huang to hide Guan Yu's strange soldiers in the two-layer array, coupled with the death of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, no one could stop Guan Yu for a moment, causing Guan Yu to control himself so easily, Cao Cao was ready to die, even if he died, he didn't want to lose the prestige of King Wei, but he didn't expect Guan Yu to say such a thing, this is obviously Guan Yu repaying his kindness.

Suppressing the panic in his heart, Cao Cao glanced at Guan Yu deeply, and praised sincerely: "Yun Chang is really a righteous man!" Anyway, according to your words, I have the right to stop the army today. With that, Cao Cao beckoned to Cao Ren and the others and summoned all the people and horses back.

Guan Yu withdrew the big knife, hugged his fist to Cao Cao and said: "Guan has offended, King Wei's kindness to Guan, Guan has repaid it today, he will see you in the future, you and I are not friends and enemies, there will be a period later!" Then, Guan Yu did not wait for Cao Cao's answer, so he rode his horse into the Han army formation that Liao Hua and Zhou Cang came to meet, and under the escort of 50,000 Han troops, he slowly retreated into Xu Huang's large array.

Waiting for Guan Yu to retreat to the big array, Xu Huang said to Guan Yu with a smile: "Yun Chang, today's battle is thanks to you, and later I will write your credit in the labor book and report it to King Yan." ”

Guan Yu shook his head and said: "Gongming, Guan Mou doesn't want to take credit, only one thing to ask for, please ask Guan Mou in the Ming Dynasty to convey King Yan, on the day of breaking through Chengdu, please raise your noble hand and let Guan's eldest brother go, Guan Mou is grateful." As for Guan himself, he will always stay here, whether he kills or chops, it all depends on King Yan's decision! In Guan Yu's heart, his contribution to this battle is not great, either to fight for Liu Bei to live, or to repay Ao Lie for his grace of not killing, the two can only choose one of the two, obviously, Guan Yu chose the former.

Xu Huang looked at Guan Yu's determined expression and sighed softly: "Yun Chang is really a righteous man, strong!" (To be continued......)
