I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 798 Zhang Fei, a skilled military commander

The boats of Zhang Fei and others went downstream to the east and began to approach Zhou Yu's army. Given Zhou Yu's ability, it was naturally impossible for him not to set up scouts on the periphery.

It's just that Zhang Fei acted too quickly, or he was well prepared, so the time for Zhou Yu's scouts to report was very short, which indirectly led to a significant weakening of Zhou Yu's ability to respond.

When Zhou Yu's men told him the news that Zhang Fei and others were moving quickly eastward along the river, Zhang Fei's ship had already appeared in Zhou Yu's sight!

"The Northern Army's ships? From the west, are they sent by Liu Jian to provide support?!"

Zhou Yu looked in the direction of Zhang Fei's army with some disbelief. He really couldn't understand why Liu Jian would send people to reinforce Guan Yu at this time.

But this is indeed not Zhou Yu's fault, because logically speaking, Zhang Fei did not come to reinforce Guan Yu, but was ordered by Liu Jian to take over Guan Yu's position as commander-in-chief!

Of course, it was such a coincidence that Zhou Yu happened to be challenging Guan Yu at this moment!

What kind of person is Zhang Fei? How could he allow others to challenge Yun Chang in front of him! ?
Many warships were sailing downstream, heading towards the Wujiang camp.

There were hundreds of warships, and there were thousands of soldiers on all of them.

And at the head of all the warships, there is a largest tower ship, which is leading the way on the vast Yangtze River.

On the deck of the towering ship, there was a strong man who was eight feet tall and strong and powerful.

He was wearing fine armor, and a pair of tiger eyes were observing his surroundings quickly.

After observing, the tiger general looked at the person next to him and said:
"A thousand miles of mountains and forests, it is indeed the place where heroes are buried. I was born in the north, and I never thought I would be able to go to the place where the Overlord committed suicide. Today I can come here, which is enough to comfort my life!"

The tiger general who spoke was Zhang Fei, the brother of Prime Minister Liu.

The person next to him was Pound.

Pang De couldn't help laughing and crying after hearing what Zhang Fei said.

Why is General Zhang still in such a mood at the moment?
"General Zhang, the situation of Lord Guan is very critical. Are you still in the mood to appreciate the scenery here?"

"Hey!"

Zhang Fei waved his hand and said in a careless manner: "What kind of person is Yunchang? How could he be defeated so easily? Although he is ill now, he will never lose his position!"

After saying that, Zhang Fei turned his head to look at Zhou Yu's fleet opposite and began to fall into deep thought.

If it were Zhang Fei back then, he would immediately order the entire army to land and rescue Yunchang.

However, Zhang Fei is no longer an ordinary person. He is no longer a general who is good at fighting, but a commander with a broad vision.

Zhang Fei saw through Zhou Yu's plan and ordered Pang De, "Send the flags and split the three armies into two groups."

"Let Ma Chao and Yan Xing lead the team to the north bank to reinforce Yun Chang!"

"Lingming, you and I will lead the troops to the south bank!"

Pang De was shocked at first, but then he quickly understood Zhang Fei's intention.

"General Zhang wants to attack Cao's main camp on the south bank, cut off their retreat, and trap them to death on the river?"

Zhang Fei laughed heartily and said, "That's right!"

Pound looked towards the north bank with some concern.

"I just don't know if General Guan can hold on..."

Zhang Fei straightened his face and said, "My brother's skills are better than mine! Even if he is sick, how can he be defeated instantly by Zhou Lang?"

Zhang Fei's decisiveness and confidence, as well as his trust in Guan Yu, made Pang De yearn for it!

These are the brothers who have fought for many years and conquered the world!

Such trust!
Looking at Liangzhou, I am afraid that no general can do it.

Soon, Zhang Fei's army was divided into two. Ma Chao and Yan Xing led one army to land quickly in the north. They mounted their horses, held their weapons, and attacked Cao's army from the west that was attacking Guan Yu's camp.

Zhang Fei's troops turned the bows of their ships and began to march towards the south bank.

Zhang Fei’s army’s movements soon caught Zhou Yu’s attention!
After seeing Zhang Fei divide his troops into two groups, Zhou Yu's blood instantly froze!

"Who is the leader of the northern bandits?"

"Reporting to the Grand Commander, judging from the enemy's flag, the one leading the troops is Zhang Fei, a general under Liu Jian!"

Hearing Zhang Fei's name, Zhou Yu couldn't help but bite his lips.

"What a resourceful man! No wonder he could travel across Liang Province and put an end to the troubles of the Han Dynasty for many years. He is indeed an extraordinary person!" "He actually has such a cunning mind!"

Zhou Yu looked back and forth at the battlefield on the north bank and Zhang Fei who was rushing towards the south bank!
Once Zhang Fei lands, the rear of their side will be completely destroyed. At that time, they will be attacked from both sides on the Yangtze River and the situation will be extremely critical.

Zhou Yu was really impressed by Zhang Fei's ability to make such an accurate judgment even on Mount Sumeru!
This is beyond the reach of the famous generals of ancient times!
However, Zhou Yu was no ordinary man after all, and he immediately made the appropriate judgment.

"Hurry up and send the order to the front line to send 3,000 rear troops back to the ship and follow me back to the south bank!"

Zhou Yu meant to allocate half of his military force to deal with Zhang Fei, but if the combat power of both sides was equal, there would be no problem for him to do so.

But the combined strength of Guan Yu's army and Zhang Fei's army has far surpassed Zhou Yu's, and this is an unchangeable fact.

As soon as Zhou Yu divided his troops, the pressure on the front was greatly reduced, and Guan Ping quickly felt that the opportunity to counterattack had come.

He immediately organized elite troops and launched a desperate counterattack against Cao's army outside the camp.

And at this time, the armies of Ma Chao and Yan Xing had already attacked Sha from the west. Both of them were brave generals from Xiliang, and they were very decisive in fighting.

Without saying a word, these two men led their elite troops to launch a surprise attack on the left wing of Cao's army.

Ma Chao was the most heroic. He rode his horse at a very fast speed and rushed into the Cao army's camp first. With a spear, he charged left and right as if he was in an empty space.

The elite Xiliang cavalry behind him made him dizzy and uncomfortable because of the bumpy waves when he was on the warship. Now, as Ma Chao went ashore and rode his warhorse again, although his body still felt a little uncomfortable, he found his human feeling again, and the solid feeling on land returned.

At this moment, they were also following Ma Chao in charging into the enemy army, feeling very proud.

Once Ma Chao's army arrived, Cao's attack formation naturally could not last long!

Soon, under the siege of Ma Chao, Yan Xing, Guan Ping and others, Cao's army's formation began to collapse.

At this moment, Zhou Yu led his troops back to the south bank to stop Zhang Fei, so his support for the front line was naturally limited.

As a result, Cao's army on the front line was attacked from both sides and was on the verge of defeat.

Dian Wei brandished his double iron halberds, fighting hard with the enemy while turning his head to look at the situation of the rear army.

He then shouted to Xu Chu, "Zhongkang, we can't hold on here for long. You need to return to the battlefield quickly! Something has happened in the rear of the Grand Commander. You must lead your troops back to help. I will hold them off here!"

Xu Chu and Dian Wei have an unusual relationship. He originally wanted to resist the enemy's offensive here with Dian Wei, but after listening to Dian Wei's words, Xu Chu felt that he should put the overall situation first.

He shouted to Dian Wei in a concise and clear voice: "Take care!"

He then led his troops and charged back to the rear.

Dian Wei, on the other hand, relied on his bravery to guard Guan Yu's gate and stabilize the morale of the army, preventing the Northern Army's soldiers from overstepping the line.

However, as more and more Northern Army soldiers surrounded him, Dian Wei was under increasing pressure, and the number of his own soldiers around him was also decreasing.

Dian Wei was a brave but foolish general, but he did not know how to command troops or judge the situation. He was just a general who was good at fighting in front of the battlefield. Therefore, his ability to control the situation was very poor.

Soon, Guan Ping and Ma Chao's troops surrounded Dian Wei.

Dian Wei wielded two iron halberds, continuously killing the enemies around him. Those who got close to him were almost instantly killed after being swept by his iron halberds.

But Dian Wei was also covered with wounds at this moment.

Not to mention the arrow wounds, there were no less than five knife wounds and two spear wounds. Blood flowed down his upper body, almost infecting his entire body.

It's shocking!

He stood there panting, glancing back and forth at the crowd around him, and shouted loudly: "Come on, if anyone is not afraid of death, come on! I will fight you to the death!"

The sound of horse hooves was heard, and Guan Ping rode his horse to a place not far from Dian Wei.

He looked at the fierce warrior covered in blood, and a feeling of pity arose in his heart.

It's such a pity for such a brave warrior to die here...

But soon, his reason came back to him.

The opportunity for battle is fleeting, so how can we delay our progress because of such a foolish and reckless general?

Today, Uncle Yide has come and given me his greatest support. This is a good opportunity to defeat Zhou Yu. As a general, I must not miss it!

Guan Ping no longer hesitated, and said to the cavalry behind him: "Take down this man's head!"

Afterwards, a group of elite Liaodong cavalrymen galloped on their horses, holding sharp weapons, and swept towards Dian Wei like a torrent...
