Leading 5,000 soldiers and horses, Xiahou Yuan marched quickly all the way in the direction of Bowang, but in just over two hours, he arrived at the mouth of Bowang Valley.

When he arrived at the valley, he found that in the valley, there was a large army of people, which was rushing towards the valley.

It was the 5,000 Jingzhou cavalry led by Zhang Fei who rushed out of the valley.

Located in the Yangtze River basin, the total number of cavalry in Jingzhou is not very large.

The soldiers brought by Liu Bei were able to have 5,000 cavalry, which shows that Liu Biao also invested blood.

The Jingzhou cavalry was not quite the same as the Han cavalry.

The cavalry of the Han army, the war horses are mostly northern horses, the horses are tall, and the soldiers are riding on horseback, which is also very powerful!

In the past, more attention was paid to the navy, and not very much attention was paid to the land soldiers and horses, especially the Jingzhou army, where the cavalry was almost ignored, and the war horses under the crotches of the soldiers were introduced from the south.

The southern war horses were originally relatively short, and these war horses were just ordinary horses suitable for pulling and carrying goods in the south, and the cavalry of the Jingzhou army, compared with the thousand cavalry led by Xiahou Yuan, was like a group of chaotic people riding horses, and there was no domineering at all.

Seeing the Jingzhou army rushing out of the valley, Xiahou Yuan reined in his war horse, raised his arm, and stopped the march of the team.

Zhang Fei, who led the army out of the valley, had also seen Xiahou Yuan and the 5,000 Han army led by him.

Seeing that the number of Han soldiers was small, Zhang Fei couldn't help but muttered a little in his heart.

The cavalry he led was as many as 5,000 people, and the Han army on the opposite side was obviously much smaller than them, even if the number was almost the same, but the cavalry was pitiful.

Dealing with such an army, Zhang Fei still has a certain chance of winning.

Whether it was to defeat the Han army, Zhang Fei pondered in his heart whether he should withdraw immediately after only contacting the Han army according to Zhuge Liang's statement, or fight with the Han army, and defeat the Han army, and wait until the main force of the Han army arrived, and then retreat to the valley.

While galloping on his horse, Zhang Fei was making calculations in his heart.

He was about to rush to the valley mouth, and he finally figured it out.

The Han army outside the valley is just a vanguard, and the first battle broke the vanguard spirit, and when the main force of the Han army arrives, and then the Han army is introduced into the valley, the credit will be greater.

With these thoughts, Zhang Fei did not hesitate, led 5,000 soldiers and horses to rush out of the valley, and when he reached the mouth of the valley, he immediately ordered 5,000 Jingzhou army cavalry to set up an offensive formation.

Xiahou Yuan, who had been waiting in formation for a long time, saw that the Jingzhou army was in an offensive formation, and knew that Zhang Fei was planning to wave his troops to rush and kill, and he also made a gesture behind him.

The soldiers of the Han army did not follow Xiahou Yuan on the battlefield together, but on the battlefield, the gestures of the generals were not very different from each force.

Seeing Xiahou Yuan's gesture, the five thousand Han troops stopped one after another.

The thousand cavalrymen who followed behind Xiahou Yuan, each holding a Pu knife in their hands, stared at the Jingzhou army that had just rushed out of the valley with their eyes full of fighting intent.

Luoyang is the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, and the soldiers of the Han army have always been based on Luoyang, and the Jingzhou army's move to advance to Luoyang undoubtedly touched the bottom line of the soldiers of the Han army.

Staring at the Jingzhou army rushing out of the valley, the soldiers of the Han army, one by one, were full of war intent, just waiting for Xiahou Yuan's order, they would rush up against this enemy army that came from afar with the intention of attacking Luoyang.

Leading 5,000 Jingzhou cavalry out of the valley, Zhang Fei stood in front of the cavalry formation, stared at Xiahou Yuan from a distance, raised his arm holding the spear flatly, pointed at Xiahou Yuan with the tip of the spear, and his expression was provocative.

Seeing Zhang Fei pointing at him with a snake spear, how could Xiahou Yuan endure this evil breath, carrying a big knife, and rushed towards Zhang Fei on his horse.

Xiahou Yuan rushed towards Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei refused to show weakness, and also slammed his legs towards the horse's belly, and rode the horse to meet him and kill him.

Rushing to Xiahou Yuan's approach, Zhang Fei burst into a shout, picked up the snake spear, and stabbed it into Xiahou Yuan's chest.

If he was fighting against Zhang Fei as an ordinary general, just his shouting would scare people's hearts, after all, Xiahou Yuan was also a generation of brave generals, and in the face of Zhang Fei, he was not afraid at all, holding the handle of the big knife with both hands, and with just a flick, he pushed the snake spear that stabbed at the chest aside.

The snake spear was pushed aside by Xiahou Yuan, and the two war horses galloping towards each other staggered.

After the war horse rushed out more than ten steps by inertia, the two restrained the horse, turned the horse's head almost at the same time, and rushed towards each other again.

After four or five consecutive kills, the two finally fought together.

Zhang Fei wielded a snake spear, picking, stabbing, splitting, and slashing, each move was a direct attack on Xiahou Yuan's vital point.

Xiahou Yuan also dealt with it easily, and in the face of Zhang Fei's attack, although it was full of dangers, he did not panic at all.

The two armies of 5,000 men each faced each other at a distance, and the eyes of the soldiers all fell on the two people who were fighting.

Zhang Fei and Xiahou Yuan fought in the open space in the middle of the two armies, and there were also bursts of war drums in the two armies.

The two armies that went out on the expedition were only the vanguard of the armies of both sides, and the war drums would not be as huge as the war drums of the Chinese army, and the drums beaten out were not so long and deep.

The sound of war drums of "dong dong" echoed on the battlefield, and Zhang Fei and Xiahou Yuan, who were fighting against each other, were more and more interested in killing, as if they had forgotten that there were two large armies behind them waiting for their orders to come forward to fight.

Following Liu Bei to Jingzhou, for many days, Zhang Fei has never been happy to fight with others, and now he has just engaged in battle with the Han army, and Xiahou Yuan, who has just met him, refuses to rest lightly.

Xiahou Yuan is also in the same state of mind, since Cao Cao's defeat and was captured by the Han army and sent to Luoyang, he, like many civil servants and generals who used to be subordinate to Cao Cao, has been thinking about all day long, all he thinks about is when Liu Wei will cut off their heads.

But what was waiting for them was not the raised butcher's knife, but Liu Wei's endless trust in them.

Never led an army to fight, Liu Bei's army went north, Liu Wei would hand over 30,000 troops to them and come to intercept them, obviously treating them as his own family!

Since Liu Wei was not wary of them, how could they not fight for Liu Wei?

With the mentality that he must take a stand, the big knife in Xiahou Yuan's hand also danced more and more smoothly, and the two of them fought Baiduohe, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.

Xiahou Yuan, who was fighting, knew that he would not be able to defeat Zhang Fei for a while, so he held the handle of the knife tightly with both hands, and when Zhang Fei stabbed a spear, he used the handle of the snake spear to hold it, and then pushed it hard, and Zhang Feiding retreated a few steps backwards.

Zhang Fei only retreated a few steps, and was about to step forward to fight again, Xiahou Yuan had already pulled the reins and retreated to the side, raised his big knife and pointed at Zhang Fei, and shouted: "It is difficult for a certain two people to distinguish the winner today, why don't they return to the army and fight later!" ”

Xiahou Yuan's meaning couldn't be clearer, it was to stop fighting with Zhang Fei, and the two of them returned to the army separately, and when they were ready for soldiers and horses, they waved the army to kill each other.

After fighting for more than 100 times, he couldn't get the slightest benefit from Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Fei was also a little anxious in his heart, he heard Xiahou Yuan say it and returned to the battle, and later waved his troops to fight, responded to the hello, turned around the war horse, and went to the main formation.

The two of them each met the array, and without any delay at all, they each raised the blade in their hands.

The general raised his sword with only two meanings, one meant to stop the march of the army, and the other meant that the army was ready to rush and kill.

The two armies had already lined up, and it was impossible for them to stop the army, and their only intention was to prepare the soldiers to rush and kill.

Zhang Fei and Xiahou Yuan both raised their arms, and the soldiers on both sides took two steps forward.

The officers and men of the Jingzhou army on war horses, lined up in a neat line, walked forward, all the Jingzhou soldiers were tightly clutching the cavalry round shields and short spears in their hands, and a pair of eyes stared at the Han army opposite, and they could see that many of them showed unconcealed tension in their expressions.

The Han army is strong in battle, and has wiped out countless powerful armies, although the soldiers of Jingzhou have never fought against them, it is reasonable to be a little nervous in the face of them.

Compared with the nervousness of the Jingzhou army, the expressions of the soldiers of the Han army were filled with excitement and expectation that could not be concealed.

Following Liu Wei's southern expedition to the north, the soldiers of the Han army have long been accustomed to the battlefield.

The battlefield is where they belong, and where they prove their worth as warriors.

The 1,000 cavalry standing behind Xiahoudun did not move, and in the Han array, only 4,000 heavily armored infantry stepped forward.

The infantry, holding a round shield much larger than the cavalry, walked up from behind with neat steps.

When they walked in front of Xiahou Yuan, all the Han infantry held their shields in front of them, and the hands holding Pu Dao were also tightly clenched.

The two armies walked in the opposite direction, but they didn't go far from each other, but they only advanced the array in front of the main general, and then stopped.

The Jingzhou army reined in their horses, and waited nervously for Zhang Fei to give the order to charge.

The soldiers of the Han army were arranged in a neat array, holding the Pu knife tightly one by one, staring at the Jingzhou army that was about to rush towards them.

The two armies looked at each other, and Zhang Fei and Xiahou Yuan both raised their swords in their hands.

The two of them did not put down their blades, staring at the enemy troops opposite, and their eyes also condensed the rising battle intent.

"Kill!" Finally, Zhang Fei, holding the arm of the snake spear, stepped forward and gave the order to charge to the Jingzhou soldiers behind him.

Zhang Fei gave an order, and the five thousand Jingzhou troops, except for hundreds of people who stayed by his side to defend him, the rest of the soldiers desperately clamped their legs between the horse's belly, waved the blades in their hands, let out bursts of shouts, and rushed towards the Han army array.

"Meet the enemy!" The Jingzhou army launched an attack, and Xiahou Yuan also slashed the big knife down into the void and let out a shout.

The four thousand Han infantry, after Xiahou Yuan gave the order, Qi Qi let out an angry roar, and they all turned their shields sideways in front of them, and the blade of the Pu knife in their hands pointed forward, putting on a defensive posture.
