I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 747: Jun Dang shocks China
The white clouds were like catkins, blowing over the heads of the troops with the wind, and the light from the sky poured down through the gaps in the clouds.

There was a dull sound of footsteps hitting the ground in the air, and with the sound of war drums beating in the distance, they stepped forward rhythmically across the ground.

The smoke and dust thrown up by the soldiers' footsteps filled the space between heaven and earth, obscuring people's vision.

In front is the main force of Cao's army stationed in the Shouchun outer camp.

The cavalrymen of Guan Yu's army flew back and forth among the formations with the general's orders, shouting hoarsely!

A moment later, the sword shield in front stood on the ground with a bang, extending left and right in a defensive posture.

There are many flags, and the flag with the word "Guan" rustling in the wind, slowly moving forward in the middle formation.

The general with a face as red as a date and long beard sitting on a warhorse, with the Green Dragon Crescent Blade across his side. He closed his almond-shaped eyes and silently watched the army formation opposite, not knowing what he was thinking.

Guan Yu, the number one military general of the Han Dynasty, was exiled for killing people in the past. Later he met his brother Liu Jian and followed Liu Jian in his battles beyond the Great Wall.

He has been fighting outside the Great Wall since he was more than 20 years old, opening up new territories, and now he is in his forties.

This was the first time for young Guan Ping to go into battle. He was sent from Chang'an to the front of the Huainan Army by Liu Jian, following his father.

The desolate horn sounded, and the mighty military formation stopped advancing with a bang. Shields were lowered from the hands of the northern infantry and stood on the ground, extending to the left and right.

"It's just because my father's achievements in this life are only to fight against foreign enemies, but he has never helped the Han Dynasty to quell internal troubles."

Guan Ping asked curiously: "Why?"

The long beard is stroking, and the Yanyue sword is murderous!
The majestic voice goes away!
Iron hoofs swirled up the soil one after another, and occasionally one or two stones were stepped on and shot out. Thousands of cavalry spread out on the left and right wings, and the messenger cavalry with command flags rushed among the elite Han troops in the middle. Zou Dan and Tian Kai, two veterans of Gongsun's old army, kept issuing adjustment orders, maintaining a huge square array of four 5,000-man formations and following Guan Yu's advance in an orderly manner.

"Ping'er, do you think that my father has made outstanding achievements in conquering foreign invaders in the past ten years or so?"

Not only Dian Wei, but also the other generals in Cao Ying behaved like this, with dissatisfaction in every aspect!
Cao Ren was beside Cao Cao and saw this situation, and he immediately understood.

"Megatron China——"

Guan Yu shook his head and looked at the grasslands and cities at the end of the sky and the earth in front of him, as well as the army... After a moment, he smiled and said: "I have been fighting for my father all my life, sweeping across the northern border. These years of battlefield career are unforgettable in this life. The man is indeed a great father, but he has not yet reached his peak!"

Guan Ping unfolded it and saw that it was indeed Liu Jian's calligraphy.

There was a "boom", the large iron-wrapped shield pressed down, and hundreds of spears poked out to form a blocking formation.

The green dragon sword swayed slightly, and a copper bell jingled under the horse's neck. Guan Yu proudly looked at the Huainan army standing opposite in the military formation.

"General Guan is a true hero!"

"Father, what was written in the letter that my uncle asked the child to bring to his father from Chang'an?"

The black war horse sneezed and shook its mane. The man on it was holding two halberds and was as tall as an iron tower. He was about to leap out of the battle, but was interrupted by Cao Cao on the car with a wave of his hand: "You are not Guan Yunchangzhi." Your opponent, and he is the number one general of the Han Dynasty, how can he easily challenge you in a duel?"

"In the past ten years, my brother was powerful in Hulu, and now he is powerful in China!"

When Cao Cao's voice sounded, the chariot shafts were seen rolling, and a large chariot came slowly. Hundreds of armored soldiers were guarding the left and right with large shields. A general named Xu Chu rode on the side and raised his hand: "Stop!"

And his army also started beating drums, and the soldiers of the three armies shouted together:

"Woo——"

As a soldier, the trick is to attack the heart!

Guan Yu looked at the troops on the opposite side.

On the opposite side of the central formation, a big flag with the word "Cao" was roaring. Below it was a two-horse chariot. Cao Cao was not wearing armor. He was sitting in the chariot. When he heard the high-pitched and powerful words of the opposite military formation, he couldn't help but sigh. tone.

"Megatron China——"

"Megatron China——"

"And today is the opportunity to replace your uncle for your father, and to establish the greatest achievements of the Han Dynasty!"

Guan Yu did not answer, he just slowly took out a piece of silk from his chest and handed it to Guan Ping.

After the last word of his words fell, Guan Yu's hand was gently stroking his long beard, but now it suddenly started to stroke!

"Liu Deran, Liu Deran, a hero like Guan Yunchang, is willing to stay by your side life and death when you are in your weak years. Cao really envy you."

"In the past few years, I have heard everyone talking about my father in Yecheng and Chang'an. They all admired his father's achievements. Looking at the generals of the Han Dynasty, my father is the number one!"

Dian Wei seemed to be very reluctant to accept Cao Cao's praise of his opponent, but he couldn't say anything. After all, Guan Yu's reputation was too high.

The sound of shields came from the front array, and at that moment, the closed red phoenix slowly opened.

"Uuuuuuu——!"

There are not many words, just a few sentences:
"Ten years ago, my brother was invincible in the world, but now he is invincible in the world!"

"My lord, wait a moment. When the last general comes, I'll capture Guan Yunchang alive! I'll go and fight Guan Yu right now!"

Cao Cao stood up, glanced at the surrounding military formations that stretched to the horizon, and laughed with his hands behind his back: "Generals such as Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang He are also famous generals in Hebei who are unstoppable. However, Cao Cao It seems that they are not as good as Guan Yunchang!"

The Lord is trying to stimulate the fighting spirit of the generals by praising Guan Yu.

The war horse burst out neighing, Guan Yu threw his Qinglong Yanyue, and the heavy blade cut through the air, reflecting a piece of coldness hanging on the side of the horse, bringing out a buzzing trembling moment, and then saw Guan Yu riding out!

Guan Ping was suddenly shocked when he saw this.

"I am in Chang'an for my brother. I am waiting for good news about my brother."

"Are you Cao Mengde?" Guan Yu raised his sword and rode forward a few steps.

Now, with the aura of successful expedition beyond the Great Wall, he came to Jiangnan to conquer Huainan for the imperial court.

On the chariot, Cao Cao's figure stepped off the chariot, stepped on the hard ground, and stood there with his hands behind his back: "I have admired the reputation of General Guan for a long time. When I see him today, I feel relieved that I have won a man under Prime Minister Liu's command."

The light and dust rose, and the approaching figure stopped on the opposite side. Guan Yu's eyes stayed on the other person and said slowly: "Guan has also admired the name of Duke Cao for a long time. In the past, Guan was in the north. He exchanged letters with his brother all year round, discussing Although Guan has never met Duke Cao, he knows that in the heart of the prime minister, Duke Cao is even more important than Yuan Shao! "

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

"It's not a bad thing for Cao to be so valued by the Prime Minister."

Guan Yu said:
"Mr. Cao is already in his fifties, right? If the world is at peace and the country is unified, at this age, Gong Cao should be raising his grandson at home, so why bother fighting on the battlefield?"

Cao Cao said: "Since Yun Chang knows that he has toiled for half his life to go to this battlefield, why bother to lead his troops south?"

"As soon as you came, the people were displaced and the fields were desolate. Are you willing to give up without going to war? This land in Huainan is my inheritance, and I will never give it to you!"

Guan Yu said: "When did the world of the Han family become your foundation?" "Now you, the Yangzhou Shepherd, have proclaimed themselves, and have colluded with Yuan Shao for many years to divide the world! Now there are emperors and prime ministers in the world. As a Ministers must obey the orders of the imperial court!"

The air suddenly tightened.

Guan Yu continued: "You, Yuan Shao, Yuan Yi, from the north to the south, and then to the east of the Jingzhou and Shu lands, divided the world. In the past ten years, many soldiers of the Han Dynasty have died because of you. My prime minister has worked hard for the world and tried his best to protect it. Orthodoxy, what have you done? Just tearing away the flesh and blood of the great man!"

"The world is divided into three parts, and the second part is in the hands of the imperial court. You don't want the troubled times to end, do you still want to use countless corpses to fulfill your selfish desires? Guan will tell you today, if you take the wrong path, you will understand where you are wrong. You must know how to turn around!”

Over there, Cao Cao suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"Guan Yu, is it true that Cao cannot kill you!?"

Guan Yu's voice also echoed in front of the two armies: "A certain family is here for you to kill——"

Cao Cao closed his eyes and sighed, got in the car and headed back to the main formation.

After getting on the car, he turned to look at the figure in Qingpao, with mixed emotions in his eyes. He said to the general beside him: "Guan Yunchang is a soldier who follows the right path. It is not easy to attack head-on."

The person responsible for commanding the army for Cao Cao was Cao Ren.

Then, Cao Ren picked up the command flag and waved it away: "Kill——"

Although Guan Yu was famous, Cao Ren was not convinced.

……

"Woo——"

The horns of war echoed in the sky, and at the end of the line of sight, black shadows spread like ant colonies in the afternoon sunshine.

The earth shook under the iron hooves.

The arrows passed through the fighting crowd below and collided like angry waves, then spread and fell into the crowd.

"Hahaha--"

"Southern thief! Let you know what fighting means!"

There were voices of soldiers from the North laughing wildly. They pressed a Huainan soldier to the ground and stuck a knife into his eye socket. The next second, he was thrown to the ground by the Jiangdong soldiers who rushed towards him, and a spear on his side was stabbed into his body. The Northland soldier still roared, with the spear still stuck in his body, he cut off the long-handled sword and rushed towards the nearest enemy.

Yu Jin waved his sword and glanced between the arrays, full of horror. It was hard to describe how these northern soldiers fought like madmen. They fought like a group of wild beasts, but they were more intelligent than those wild beasts.

"How to fight this battle..."

Yu Jin feels timid.

The field of vision stretched to the sky, from the foothills to the plains, and then extended to the low-lying areas, you could see fighting figures everywhere. Compared with the northern infantry who fought steadily and steadily in the front, the real pressure on Cao Jun was the Liaodong cavalry across the wilderness.

This was the first time that Cao Jun felt the fierce offensive of cavalry from the northern grasslands. In the sky, large groups of cavalry turned into small teams and wandered around the two wings. The arrows penetrated directly, dividing a square array, and they could be crushed one by one in a moment.

These galloping Northland cavalry were re-expanded in a new way. After more than ten years of fighting outside the Great Wall, they had rich experience in how to avoid arrows most effectively and how to deal with the approaching enemy cavalry. In the eyes of Cao Jun, , these cavalry are monsters.

The battlefield stretched for several miles, and the sound of weapons and shouts shook the sky. The three cavalry groups led by Zou Dan, Tian Kai and Gongsun Chi cooperated with each other. If they saw the organized Huainan army formation on the way, they would directly push over. , the surging torrent defeated them in large areas.

"Cao Cao is over there!"

Tian Kai slowed down and looked over, pointing at the back of the overlapping military formations. The banner with the word Cao was clearly visible. Before he could issue an order, the nearest Cao army cavalry finally came to support him. The leader, Cao Hong, pushed him Stopped.

Fierce fighting and collisions have spread to Cao's army. One after another, the charging cavalry penetrated the crowd. Here, the generals commanded their respective troops to organize spear formations to meet them, stabbing the armored Liaodong cavalry. There were white marks scratched out.

There was the sound of horses coming at high speed and colliding with human bodies, flesh and blood bursting and flying, and shields shattering. Some Cao soldiers flew upside down and hit their comrades behind, while some were knocked directly to the ground and rushed into the iron hooves of the crowd. It writhed wildly, unleashed shrill screams, and plowed out long carpets of blood. The advancing front line was full of scenes of blood and flesh flying wildly, and people and horses turning upside down.

"Bang——!"

The broadsword slashed through the thrusting spear, and Xu Chu screamed: "Get away!"

In an instant, his swinging sword chopped down two Liaodong cavalrymen.

Subsequently, more Liaodong soldiers roared up and surrounded Xu Chu.

The battlefield spread in all directions, and small teams of cavalry were forced to return to their home formation. Cao Ren kept ordering reserve teams to fill the gaps in the formation. However, the northern soldiers were also experienced in fighting. The fighting front line, no matter how hard he tried to save it, still kept shrinking towards him.

"General, general!"

Xu Chu ran back to the center with a big sword in hand. Blood was flowing from his mouth, his iron helmet had fallen off, and his bun was disheveled.

"General! I can't beat him... There is no match for Guan Yu's cavalry in the wilderness! What should I do?!"

"No retreat."

Cao Ren shouted at Xu Chu in a low voice. For a moment, his hair suddenly stood on end. A cold light came into his peripheral vision from a certain direction. He tilted his head subconsciously and heard Xu Chu shout "General!".

Cao Ren's head relaxed and he felt the temperature in the air. He stretched out his hand to touch it, and found that the bag was gone. It was spinning on the ground with a clanking sound, and an arrow was stuck on it and was shaking.

"Retreat...retreat!"

Only then did Cao Ren realize that the archery skills of these Liaodong cavalry were also very good, so he began to retreat slowly with the center formation, keeping a distance from the front line to prevent the archers who were mixed up among them from secretly firing cold arrows.

But the cavalry hovering around were watching every move here closely.

The moment he saw the commander's flag moving, someone on the field shouted loudly: "Cao Ren retreats, Cao's army is defeated!"

Occasionally, there were echoing voices. Although it could not determine victory or defeat, it caused a lot of psychological burden on Cao's soldiers who were fighting on the front line. The defeated soldiers ran wildly in all directions. Cao Ren's center formation did not suffer much losses and was broken. I still felt the loss for a while, but after all, I felt a little uncomfortable with the failure.

When Cao Cao saw Cao Ren retreating from the rear, he sighed and said nothing.

"There is still a gap between us and the Northern Army..."

Soon, Cao Cao ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops and retreat, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. However, in the field, the cavalry still pursued fiercely and routed Cao's troops, and those who surrendered were directly brought back to the army.

"Cao Cao retreated?"

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and ordered: "Gather the prisoners first and camp them in place. When Brother Xuande arrives, we can then attack Shouchun!"

"promise!"

After August 10, two consecutive heavy rains made it impossible for the two sides to fight again.

.......
At the end of August, Sun Ce stationed in Hanzhong and received orders from Yuan Yi to supervise and train the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong.

When the clouds of war enveloped Shu, Liu Jian began to gather troops and horses in Guanzhong, preparing to put pressure on Shu.
