Three Kingdoms: I, Liu Feng, do not want to die

Chapter 126: Duel with Xu Huang, Guan Yu leads his army into Maicheng
Seeing Liu Feng riding his horse towards him, Xu Huang was not afraid of a fight. He controlled the horse with his feet, swung the axe in his hands with both hands and chopped at Liu Feng.

Liu Feng was equally decisive. He also controlled his horse with his feet, held the 10-foot-long spear in both hands, and stabbed at Xu Huang.

As the saying goes: Brother Sun’s tactics are known throughout the world, and he is an expert in converting all tactics.

Liu Feng's ruthlessness to die together with his enemies really frightened Xu Huang.

If Xu Huang chopped down with his axe, Liu Feng would be cut in half; if Liu Feng stabbed steadily with his 10-foot-long spear, Xu Huang would feel chilled to the bone.

"What a ruthless boy!"

Xu Huang didn't want to exchange his life with Liu Feng's, so he changed his axe from chopping to blocking, and Liu Feng also changed his stabbing to blocking.

In this first round, both sides fought evenly.

In terms of normal combat power, Liu Feng's combat power is lower than Xu Huang's.

However, the battlefield is not an arena, and both sides will not be allowed to maintain normal force levels.

Liu Feng had been recuperating on the top of the city for a long time, while Xu Huang had been directing the battle at the foot of the city for a long time.

Liu Feng's troops were at their peak and had the upper hand, while Xu Huang's troops were in disarray and were at a disadvantage.

Liu Feng was very ruthless from the beginning, and Xu Huang did not want to die with Liu Feng.

and many more.

If Liu Feng's normal combat power is over 80, Xu Huang's normal combat power is over 90.

So after considering all aspects of gains and losses, the martial arts values of Liu Feng and Xu Huang will both be close to ninety.

Whether it is a mountain-splitting axe or a 10-foot-long spear, they can be considered heavy weapons compared to the weapons of ordinary generals.

The heavy sound of the collision made the soldiers fighting around couldn't help but look sideways.

"There is actually someone who can block the deputy general's spear!"

"There is actually someone who can take General Ping Kou's axe!"

Soldiers on both sides exclaimed, as if they couldn't believe what they saw.

All of a sudden.

A vacuum zone automatically appeared around the battle between Liu Feng and Xu Huang.

It’s not that the soldiers on both sides stopped fighting, they simply didn’t want to be affected.

They are all veterans of the battlefield and are experts in how to save their lives.

The two sides in the fierce battle were unaware of the changes around them at this moment.

One round ends and another begins.

All that could be heard was a mixture of loud shouts and mocking voices.

After fighting for an unknown number of rounds, both sides simultaneously distanced themselves from each other.

Re-opening.

The Han soldiers and the Wei soldiers were clearly divided and the fighting had already ended.

Xu Huang laughed when he saw this: "A newborn calf does not know the might of a tiger. Liu Gongzhong, do you have the ability to recognize the Five Elite Generals?"

Obviously.

Although Xu Huang did not say it on the surface, he was secretly quite bothered by Liu Feng's words "The five best generals are no better than this."

Liu Feng also laughed: "Old people are no longer strong in muscles and bones. Xu Gongming, do you dare to fight me for another 300 rounds?"

Both sides were shouting and taunting.

My hands were shaking secretly.

When heavy weapons collide, the recoil force cannot be easily eliminated.

There was a stalemate for a while.

Almost at the same time, both parties gestured to the officers behind them.

On Xu Huang's side, Yin Shu, Zhu Gai, Lu Jian and Xu Shang successively shot arrows at Liu Feng.

On Liu Feng's side, Fang Yue, Pan Feng, Yu She and Mu Shun successively shot arrows at Xu Huang.

Followed by.

Archers on both sides drew their bows and shot arrows, while shieldmen stepped forward to block the arrows.

Subsequently.

Xu Huang personally led the Wei soldiers to retreat.

Cheers from the Han soldiers also rang out below the city.

Looking at the Wei soldiers retreating in an orderly manner, Liu Feng placed his 10-foot-long spear on the ground, tapped his sore arm with his left hand, and secretly exclaimed: The Five Elite Generals are worthy of their reputation. Fortunately, they are all either dead or old, otherwise it would be really difficult to launch a northern expedition in the future.

A battle today.

Liu Feng was actually one step ahead of Xu Huang in terms of deployment. He used the false tactic of attacking the enemy to gain an advantage in momentum, making the morale of the Han soldiers surpass that of the Wei soldiers.

If the main general today was not Xu Huang, but any one of Yin Shu, Zhu Gai, Lu Jian, or Xu Shang, Liu Feng would be able to accomplish the feat of beheading the general and capturing the flag, and then completely defeat these 5,000 Wei soldiers.

however.

Xu Huang relied on his bravery to restore the lost morale, and then used his extremely rich experience to cover the rear and hold the line, so that Liu Feng did not dare to lead his troops to pursue.

Liu Feng sighed here.

Xu Huang also felt uncomfortable.

As one of the top five non-generals under Cao Cao, Xu Huang fought for more than 30 years. He fought against the fierce soldiers of Xiliang, the brave cavalry of Hebei, participated in the expedition against Wuhuan, marched south to Liu Biao, marched west to kill Shang Yao and Liang Xing, subdued the Di people in Hanzhong and destroyed more than 30 camps including Chen Fu, broke through more than ten camps including Chen Shi at Ma Mingge Road, and drove straight into the city to kill Hu Xiu and Fu Fang and lifted the siege of Fancheng.

Xu Huang's reputation was earned through fighting in many tough battles on the battlefield.

However, when facing Liu Feng.

First, Liu Feng's tactic of changing homes burned their food supplies, and then his attack on Maicheng destroyed the morale of the three armies.

Although the morale of the three armies was finally restored by their bravery, they were unable to continue the assault on Maicheng today.

For the battle-hardened Xu Huang, if he could not defeat a junior like Liu Feng, he would be defeated.

Generals Yin Shu, Zhu Gai, Lu Jian and Xu Shang were also in a bad situation.

Not only was their morale destroyed today, but their secret arrows also failed to kill Liu Feng.

If it weren't for the great general Xu Huang, the names of the four generals would have appeared in Liu Feng's merit book today.

The most important thing is: with the current military strength and morale, it is impossible to attack Maicheng again!

As Cao Gui said in his theory of morale: The first attack is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted.

Liu Feng's move to another house burned food supplies, which ruined the morale of the whole group.

Today's siege failed, and morale was further damaged.

If we want to build up morale again, we need to rest for at least three or four days.

Three or four days later, Cao Ren's army arrived.

By then.

Even if they captured Maicheng, it would not be the credit of Xu Huang and the four generals. Instead, they would be punished by Cao Ren for failing to advance to Jiangling City in time.

The next few days.

Xu Huang did not organize another strong attack, and Liu Feng did not challenge the enemy again.

The two sides maintained a temporary peace.

In these few days.

Liu Feng first sent the wounded soldiers from Maicheng back to Jiangling.

In Maicheng, it was difficult for wounded soldiers to receive effective treatment.

Three days later.

Good news came: Lu Xun in Yidu gave up resistance.

At the beginning, relying on the dangerous mountains and rivers, Lu Xun was able to stop Liu Bei.

Later, Guan Yu sent 4,000 naval forces upstream, spreading the news that Sun Quan had asked for peace along the way, so as to directly deal with Lu Xun.

Xie Jing, Li Yi and other officers who followed Lu Xun were also confused.

We are ready to fight to the death, why are you, Lord Wu, asking for peace?

Be it Lu Xun or officers such as Xie Jing, they all understood that seeking peace was just a nice word. To put it bluntly, Sun Quan was beaten and forced to surrender.

In front, Liu Bei was advancing step by step by land, and in the back, Guan Yu was advancing step by step by land and sea. Sun Quan in Jiangling even asked for peace. Lu Xun would have to be a fool to fight to the death.

It took Guan Yu's navy only five days to force Lu Xun to surrender.

With Lu Xun and the 10,000 navy as bargaining chips, Guan Yu sent people to Xiakou to put pressure on Sun Quan, while at the same time letting Wang Fu guard Jiangling.

Then he personally led more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry with captains such as Lu Yi and Guan Chong and headed straight for Maicheng.

Upon hearing this news, all the officers and soldiers in Maicheng were overjoyed.

"Lu Xun surrenders. Your Excellency, send more troops to Maicheng. Even if Cao Ren leads the army to arrive, Maicheng will be safe!"

"Cao Ren hurried south, hoping to take advantage of the fact that you had just fought a great battle with Sun Quan and could not split up your army. Now that you are about to lead your army here, Cao Ren's efforts will be in vain."

"After being beaten by the Lord, he had to retreat to Fancheng, yet he still dared to call himself a general of heaven. How ridiculous."

"Your Excellency has already given Cao Ren enough face by not attacking Fancheng. Cao Ren actually dared to go south. He has no memory at all."

"Just in time! Once you arrive, we will capture Cao Ren and seize Xiangyang and Fancheng!"

"."

Liu Feng also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Lu Xun did not surrender, Liu Feng was ready to resort to fire tactics.

Liu Feng buried a lot of incendiary materials in Maicheng, just waiting for Cao Ren to arrive, using the food and grass in Maicheng as bait to "burn Maicheng".

[After a long journey, the prince finally returned to Maicheng. ]

Liu Feng sighed secretly.

Sometimes fate is so magical that even if many changes occur in the middle, it will eventually leave deep footprints in the same place.

the difference is.

According to historical records, Guan Yu was defeated and died in Maicheng.

Now Guan Yu has completely defeated Sun Quan and can lead his army to Maicheng to resist Cao Ren.

Although there were many twists and turns along the way, Jingzhou was saved.

The next day.

Guan Yu led his troops to arrive only half a day later than Cao Ren!

After asking, I found out: Guan Yu knew that there was food and grass in Maicheng, so he ordered the three armies to march lightly and quickly for more than a hundred miles.

When Guan Yu learned that Liu Feng was going to burn Maicheng, he could not help but be shocked: "Fortunately, I sent the message early. If it was one day later, I would have to go back to Jiangling City hungry. This is enough food for 20,000 people to eat for more than half a month. How dare you burn it!"

Liu Feng spread his hands and said, "It's already difficult to stop Xu Huang for ten days. If I want to stop Cao Ren's army again, I don't have any other way except burning Maicheng.

What's more, I was originally going back to Fangling, but in order to delay Xu Huang, my food was taken away by Xu Huang, so you must compensate me, Lord."

During the conversation.

Guan Yu also learned about how Liu Feng had resisted Xu Huang for the past ten days.

Upon hearing that Liu Feng and Xu Huang were exchanging positions and fighting one-on-one, Guan Yu couldn't help but look surprised in his almond-shaped eyes.

Guan Yu was very aware of Xu Huang's bravery and command.

[I didn't expect that I could threaten my elder brother to such an extent! My elder brother is getting old too.] Guan Yu couldn't help but sigh.

After sighing for a while, Guan Yu said solemnly, "Brother has ordered Meng Da and Minister Fa to lead troops to Fangling. You don't have to worry about the three counties for the time being. Brother will arrive in Jiangling City soon. After driving Cao Ren away, you can follow me back to Jiangling City to see brother."

When Liu Feng heard that Liu Bei was coming to Jiangling City, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Although he had sent Kou Anguo to deliver a letter to Liu Bei and had repeatedly shown in front of outsiders that he had no interest in the position of crown prince, Liu Feng was still uneasy in his heart.

Liu Feng was not sure whether there would be any villains slandering Liu Bei.

If someone hinted to Liu Bei that "Liu Feng's achievements surpassed those of the crown prince, and his military prestige is very great, but now he has lost his right to succession, and I am afraid that he will be difficult to control in the future", Liu Feng would be embarrassed.

"Nephew, are you worried?"

Seeing Liu Feng's strange expression, Guan Yu waved his hand to dismiss his attendants, as if he had some guesses.

Liu Feng sighed: "It is unfilial of me as a son to make my father work so hard and travel so far."

To tell the truth, Liu Feng naturally couldn't tell it easily.

Liu Feng refused to tell the truth, and Guan Yu was not a fool.

Or in other words: Guan Yu himself was in a position where his achievements surpassed his master's, and he understood Liu Feng's situation better.

Liu Feng was unwilling to say, and Guan Yu did not ask any more questions.

But deep down, Guan Yu had other thoughts in his mind.

[Since my brother came to Sichuan, he has been relying on more and more powerful families, but these people may not be sincere to him.

The old people who followed his brother are either dead or old.

Adou is still young now. If he does not have the support of his royal relatives in the future, it may be difficult for him to balance the power of the powerful families.

Liu Gongzhong is both civil and military. If he can really get along well with Adou, and the brothers work together, with one in the court and the other in the army, they will definitely be able to protect their brother's foundation.

This foundation was laid by my brother! 】

Going through a lot of things.

Guan Yu's understanding of the powerful families became increasingly clear.

As far away as Liu Xie, he was the emperor but had no control over everything; as close as himself, Pan Jun, the governor, actually chose to surrender to Sun Quan.

Although Liu Bei had more than one son, Liu Chan, the other two sons were younger.

Only Liu Feng, who is older and has followed Liu Bei in battles for many years, is both civil and military, and has now made great contributions in Jingzhou.

His prestige was enough to intimidate the local powerful families.

Guan Yu’s only worry was whether Liu Feng was really willing to live in harmony with Liu Chan and be of one brotherly nature.

If the brothers quarrel, no matter who wins, it will shake Liu Bei's foundation.

This is not the result Guan Yu wants to see.
