Chapter 957: Selling the Head

With Guan Yu's pride and the desire to provoke a general with words, he would definitely not refuse.

As long as Guan Yu can be defeated or captured in the fight, the three thousand sword-and-axe-wielding barbarian soldiers standing in front of them will no longer be a concern.

Now, the only two brave generals worth using by Cao Cao's side are Zhu Ling and Li Tong.

"Two generals, please follow the plan." Cao Cao reminded in a low voice.

"That red-faced thief may be brave, but we are not ordinary people either. With the combined strength of the two of us, it will not be difficult to capture the red-faced thief." Li Tong replied in a serious voice.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Zhu Ling also responded, which made Cao Cao feel a little more at ease.

Li Tong's bravery and the long spear in his hand were not inferior to those of Le Jin and Cao Hong. He was a fierce general that Cao Cao was quite optimistic about. In addition, Zhu Ling was one of the brave generals who was feared in Jizhou.

With the combined strength of Li Tong and Zhu Ling, Cao Cao believed that even if he could not defeat Guan Yu, he could at least hold him back for a while.

Cao Cao had secretly planned to wait until the three men were engaged in a fierce battle, then he would order his entire army to attack the sword-and-axe barbarians, who Guan Yu had no time to command, without any moral principles, and might even tie Guan Yu up.

"A gentleman can be deceived by his own methods. I'm sorry, Yunchang..."

Cao Cao first apologized in his heart, and then signaled with his eyes that Li Tong and Zhu Ling should follow his plan.

Immediately, Li Tong rode his horse forward a few steps, pointed the spear in his hand directly at Guan Yu, and shouted angrily.

"You, a red-faced thief, really don't know what's good for you. The king treated you with courtesy, but you treated him so rudely. Do you think such a rebellious person deserves the title of the Han Dynasty's General of Cavalry?"

This made Guan Yu's eyes narrow, and he looked at Li Tong with murderous intent and asked.

"How are you doing?"

"Looking at the heroes of the time, you, the red-faced thief, are the only one who seeks fame the most. In the past, you only gained some false reputation by besieging the King of Zhao. And you relied on your status as the sworn brother of the King of Han to be able to rule a place, rank among the cavalry, and enjoy the title of a prince..."

After a pause, Zhu Ling spoke up sarcastically, "In my opinion, he is truly a person without moral integrity and ability."

"Insanity!"

Guan Yu shouted with anger. "All heroes in the world are terrified by my name. How can I allow you, the villains, to speak ill of me? Do you dare to fight me?"

"Let's fight. Today, I, Li Tong, will kill you, the red-faced thief who is seeking fame and reputation." Li Tong first rode his horse to fight and went straight to Guan Yu.

Seeing this, Zhu Ling was a little slow, but he also rode out and shouted.

"Li Tong and I are like brothers, we advance and retreat together. Do you dare to fight against two of us alone?"

Guan Yu smiled coldly, and lightly clamped his legs around the Red Hare. The Red Hare immediately flashed forward like a red shadow, and he said proudly.

"No matter how many chickens and dogs there are, what's the harm?"

Fell into a trap!
Li Tong and Zhu Ling couldn't help but feel happy. They went towards Guan Yu one after the other, but they were actually extremely alert.

How could Cao Cao not know the name of Guan Sandao?

Guan Yu's first three sword strikes were the sharpest, and the positions of Li Tong and Zhu Ling in front and behind were precisely for the sake of stability, while maintaining a distance that could allow them to rescue each other.

At the same time, Cao Cao's heart also tensed up, knowing that as long as he could withstand the first three sword strikes of Guan Yu, who was not good at long battles, Li Tong and Zhu Ling would be able to achieve great things.

The distance between the three riders was rapidly closing under the gazes of countless people.

Fighting between generals in front of the battlefield has the greatest impact on morale and is also the most inspiring.

Fifty steps...

Thirty steps...

Ten steps...

Li Tong, who was rushing in the front, kept estimating the distance between the two sides, his eyes fixed on the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, ready to resist.

But at this moment, the Red Hare's already extremely fast speed suddenly increased again.

The sword moved with the horse; the horse was faster but the sword was faster... until Guan Yu and Li Tong crossed each other in an instant. Li Tong then belatedly shook the spear in his hand, but he was too late to stab out. He felt dizzy.

Zhu Ling, who was at the back, could see it more clearly...

Guan Yu chopped off Li Tong's head with just one strike. Li Tong had no time to react at all due to the flash of the sword.

This frightened Zhu Ling so much that he almost instinctively reined in his horse, then turned the horse's head and fled in the direction of the army formation.

Can't fight...

There is no way to win the battle!

The two sides are not on the same level at all.

However, Zhu Ling's escape was swift and skillful, so how could he be faster than Red Hare?

Before Zhu Ling could turn his horse around and run a few steps, Guan Yu caught up with him in an instant and chopped off Zhu Ling's head with a swing of his Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

Only the warhorse was left carrying a headless corpse, which ran for more than ten steps before falling to the ground.

"Putting a stake in the market and selling one's head, humph!"

Guan Yu looked down coldly at the two heads rolling on the ground, then glanced at the seemingly mighty 90,000 Cao troops in front of him, then turned around, waved his battle robe, and slowly returned to the battle line on his Red Hare.

This scene made countless Cao soldiers silent and feel a chill on the back of their necks.

Even Cao Cao was staring at the beheaded Li Tong and Zhu Ling, unable to come back to his senses for a long time, and muttered to himself.

"When Yun Chang gets Red Hare, it's like adding wings to a tiger..."

In the past, Guan Yu might have been an extremely powerful general, but as long as one was careful in dealing with the first three sword strikes, it would not be difficult for a brave general like Le Jin to fight with Guan Yu for hundreds of rounds.

It is precisely for this reason that Li Tong and Zhu Ling are so confident, and Cao Cao also has full confidence in Li Tong and Zhu Ling.

But as Li Tong and Zhu Ling were killed in the battle, Cao Cao, who had come to his senses, felt his whole body go cold and his head began to hurt. He covered his head and subconsciously fell on the horse's back.

Upon seeing this, the counselors on both sides hurried forward and expressed their concern.

"My Lord?!"

"Could it be that the king has a headache?"

"The current situation should be..."

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and propped himself up, his eyes faintly bloodshot as he gave the order.

"Send a message to the entire army, if you rush through the Han army you will live, if you stay here you will die!"

Cao Cao knew that he could not retreat, nor could he continue to take a detour. The only way he could have a chance of survival was to charge through the 3,000-strong army of swords and axe-wielding barbarians and reach Yanjin Ferry.

At this moment, Cao Cao did not expect to bring all these 90,000 elite troops back to Jizhou, but rather... take as many as he could!
Cao's army retreated here in a panic. Not only did they carry a large number of arrows, but many soldiers did not even have complete armor.

Therefore, as the drums sounded, the 90,000 exhausted Cao troops had no long-range consumption or suppression from the rain of arrows. Instead, under the stimulation of Cao Cao, they sprouted their last will to survive and collided with the sword-and-axe barbarian army.

The Sword and Axe Barbarian Army, which excels at mountain and jungle warfare, is actually not good at long-range combat, but is good at melee combat.

For a moment, the 90,000 Cao troops were like a river washing across the plain, while the sword-and-axe barbarian troops were like a huge rock blocking their way, causing countless splashes of water to hit the rock and shatter into pieces.

But the stubborn stone did not waver at all, and Guan Yu had no intention of retreating. Instead, he stood alone in front of the sword-and-axe army and faced thousands of troops.

Fight to the death!

Only fight to the death!

For my brother, for the great man, I slashed this sword to end the chaos, to preserve the oath of Taoyuan in the past! (End of this chapter)
