Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 229 Xuchang Melee
"Snapped!"

The fast-flying arrow was only two feet away from Chen Wu's back, but a big knife suddenly flashed in front of him.Hit hard on the blade of Qinglong Yanyue Knife, the four-foot-long Spike Arrow was actually broken into several pieces.

"Your Majesty!" Chen Wu, who escaped from death, turned his head and saw that the one who saved his life just now was the main general Guan Yu.Swinging the knife aside another arrow, Guan Yu finally saw the person who shot the arrow clearly.

"Child Cao Xiu, can you only hurt people with backstabbing?" Although it has been almost ten years since the battle in Qiaojun, Guan Yu still recognized him as the unlucky guy who was used by him to take down Qiaojun.Cao Xiu also saw Guan Yu. Although he was annoyed, he also knew that Guan Yu's opponents at this level were beyond his reach.Immediately with a cold snort, he went straight to command the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to break through the enemy's defensive line.

Tiger and leopard riders are very strong, really strong.These northern men with excellent physical fitness, equipped with amazing Bingzhou horses, are like tigers descending from the mountain.Every time the tiger and leopard cavalry collided with the defenders of the Bagua formation, two or three soldiers with large shields would be knocked into the air. Burst into the center of the eight trigrams formation through the cracks in the torn defense line.How could the Jingzhou army allow them to succeed so easily? Every time the formation was torn apart, someone would immediately go up to make up for it, and then fight with the opponent's pawns.

In all fairness, if it weren't for the unique defensive formation of the Eight Diagrams Formation, Guan Yu might not be able to hold on now.But with the Eight Diagrams Formation, and the fact that the Shanyue Army and Wudang Fei Army had a slight advantage when fighting Li Dianlejin's infantry, the Jingzhou Army could hold the ground for a while.

"Military division, do you want to blow the trumpet to let General Zhang and the others come to support as soon as possible?" Seeing the somewhat scattered formation of the gossip formation, Zhou Cang, who was in charge of protecting Xu Shu, also began to feel confused.Xu Shu looked at the situation in the field coldly, and said in a low voice: "Believe in the king, he will be able to survive. Cao Cao didn't move all the people at this time, just wanted to wait for General Zhang to arrive, and then defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. We can't I can't hold my breath."

"Okay!" Zhou Cang nodded emphatically. After Xu Shu finished speaking, he began to pay attention to the situation on the field. Wherever there was a sign of being unable to hold on, he immediately sent people to dispatch support, so as to use the gossip formation to entangle the opponent's army to death In order to avoid the incomparable impact of tiger and leopard cavalry.Even Xu Shu is not sure that he can use Fengyun Cavalry or Baima Yicong to defeat the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry head-on.

"Kill!" Accompanied by a roar, the Azure Dragon Saber slashed horizontally, beheading the two tiger and leopard knights.The steel saber continued to gravitate towards the third person's chest.Although he failed to cut through the hard armor of the chest armor, the man was also blown by the huge force of the Azure Dragon Saber so that he vomited blood and fell off the horse. It seemed that he was dead.

Not Guan Yu, but Guan Ping.In less than half an hour after the battle, Guan Ping's Azure Dragon Saber had added 87 dead souls, including seven officers above the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Captain.Guan Ping's bravery also made the always brave Tiger and Leopard Cavalry terrified.

"Hey!" Guan Ping felt that his Azure Dragon Saber was held up by someone, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Cao Chun, the leader of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and he was overjoyed.Guan Ping knew that he was the one who trained this terrifying tiger and leopard rider. If he could kill him here today, it would be like breaking Cao Cao's arm.Now Guan Ping wields the Green Dragon Saber and fights with Cao Chun.

The question is how could Cao Chun be killed so easily?In terms of martial arts, he is indeed not as good as an enemy like Guan Yu, but he will never be inferior to Guan Ping.In addition, he has a calm temperament and is not as eager for success as Guan Ping.As a result, after more than twenty moves, Guan Ping gradually lost the wind.

"Dang!" With a sound, Cao Chun was about to take the opportunity to shoot him again, but he heard a gust of wind blowing from behind. It was almost like a conditioned reflex. Cao Chun hurriedly lowered his head and dodged it. Will escape the knife in the back.

"Tanzhi, how is it?" Zhou Tai asked Guan Ping, forcing Cao Chun back with a single blow.

"Youping, I'm fine." Guan Ping said with a hey tone, and then hurriedly told Zhou Tai: "Youping, this guy is Cao Chun, we can't let him run away!"

"Okay!" Zhou Tai was overjoyed when he heard the words, he didn't expect to meet a big fish here, and quickly swung his knife to fight Cao Chun to the death.Guan Ping was about to flank to assist the battle, but he saw Cao Xiu stabbing diagonally and rushed forward to intercept him.On the other side, Dong Xi, Chen Wu, Liao Hua and others also led their troops to intercept Li Dian and Le Jin, and they fought against each other.

"Fight to the death!" Chen Wu yelled sharply, and cut a soldier of Cao Jun opposite him in half with a knife. The gushing blood added a bit of dark red to his armor that had already been stained red.However, taking advantage of the moment when Chen Wu was blinded by the blood, the spear in Le Jin's hand pierced Chen Wu's chest like a poisonous snake.

"Hey!" Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Chen Wu simply gritted his teeth and moved his body to the right with all his strength.Le Jin failed to take his life, but still stabbed Chen Wu in the left shoulder.

"Yuan Jian, hurry up!" Chen Wu didn't bother to scream after being stabbed, but threw away the weapon in his right hand, and directly grabbed Le Jin's right hand holding the spear with his right hand, and greeted Le Jin at the same time. Liao Hua is close at hand.

He never expected that Chen Wu would take a spear from him in exchange for an arm, so Le Jin was also caught off guard.Although he almost pierced Chen Wu's left shoulder with this blow, he could recover after recuperating for a few months. If his arm was cut off, he would not be able to grow back no matter how much he recuperated.

"Ah!" With a roar, Liao Hua mustered all his strength and chopped off at Le Jin's left hand.Le Jin struggled desperately to take back his left hand, but Chen Wu grabbed it desperately this time, and Le Jin would definitely not be able to pull it back for a while.

"Ah!" With a scream, Le Jin's left hand remained on the spear forever, and he fainted from the pain on the spot.All of this is a long story, but in fact it only happened in an instant. Le Jin's personal guards rushed to rescue him, but they only had time to drag their general back for treatment.At the same time, Chen Wu staggered back, and the spear on his shoulder was also pulled out by Liao Hua.

"Zi Lie, go and bandage it up, I'll do it here!" Liao Hua knew that Chen Wu couldn't fight any more, and now he could only rely on himself.

"Be careful yourself!" Chen Wu knew that he could no longer fight now, and several personal guards escorted him to the center of the Bagua formation for treatment.On the other side, Cao Cao was also taken aback when he saw Le Jin, whose right hand was cut off, being carried back.

"Send Wen Qian back to Xuchang quickly, and ask a famous doctor to treat him!" Cao Cao almost roared and gave this order.Even though he also knew that no matter how good a famous doctor was, he couldn't save Le Jin's left hand.But Jia Xu beside him was staring at the battle situation in the field, muttering in his mouth: "It's different, it's really different!"

"Wen He, what are you talking about?" Cao Cao, who had recovered from his senses, asked in surprise after hearing Jia Xu's nonsensical words.

"I mean the Jingzhou Army, it's really different from before!" Jia Xu sighed.In the past, Jia Xu, as Zhang Xiu's counselor, had fought with Cao Cao in Wancheng for many years, during which time his main ally was Liu Biao of Jingzhou.At that time, Jia Xu was very disdainful of the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou army. Although there were more than [-] troops in Jingzhou, the combat effectiveness was really not worth mentioning. The military generals can still do it. Now Guan Yu has [-] Jingzhou troops. , unexpectedly fought with Cao Cao's [-] troops and [-] tigers and leopards for half an hour without collapsing. Although they were at a disadvantage, the Bagua formation still tried to shrink its formation to fight with the enemy.While Cao Jun was reaping the lives of the Jingzhou Army, the various sections of the Eight Diagrams Formation also echoed each other, targeting the weak links of the enemy army.

At this moment, there was another change in the gossip formation. Between the plates that had not been scattered, thick hemp ropes were suddenly thrown out, and after being stretched straight, they became countless tripping ropes.Cao Jun, who was caught off guard, was tripped and fell to the ground.Especially the tiger and leopard riders in the Mercedes-Benz have fallen countless.

"Kill!" The shield of the Eight Diagrams Formation got out of the way, and the Shanyue army in leather armor rushed out, aiming at the enemy army who had fallen off the horse, and savagely swung the blade in his hand.If nomads are natural cavalry, then these mountain people who are born in mountainous areas and mainly rely on farming, supplemented by fishing and hunting to make a living, are the best source of infantry.These Shanyue soldiers in Danyang are all of excellent physical fitness. Since Guan Yu blackmailed Zhao Feng seven years ago, they have been training hard. Now, if they are brave and good at fighting, they are probably the best infantry in the world.Nimble and vigorous, they suddenly rushed out while the opponent was in a panic, and immediately caught Cao Jun by surprise.

"It's useless." Seeing that the momentum was regained by the Jingzhou army, Cao Cao had no intention of sending the last [-] tiger and leopard cavalry and the remaining [-] infantry into battle.He knew very well that the sudden attack of the Shanyue Army was just a small episode. After the fight continued like this, the comparison of the strengths of the two sides determined that Guan Yu would be the first to collapse.In order to deal with Guan Yu and Zhang Liao, Cao Cao originally hoarded [-] troops in Xuchang, and later transferred [-] infantry and some tiger and leopard cavalry from Hebei to station in Chenliu and other places. The elite of the Xuzhou army then took advantage of the situation and moved south to settle Jingxiang in one fell swoop.

"However, Guan Yu is really good. Just such an infantry, it has fought against our [-] army for almost an hour, and it still hasn't collapsed!" Cao Hong also said with emotion.Cao Cao's face didn't fluctuate at all, but he could still see the green shirt flying up and down in the formation, appearing wherever there was danger, and Cao Jun left a large number of corpses wherever he went.

An hour passed, and Guan Yu's subordinates had suffered nearly ten thousand casualties.The shrinkage of the gossip array determines that it is difficult for people in the array to escape from the battlefield.With the fall of the outer front, Guan Yu gradually withdrew his troops to defend, and correspondingly Cao Jun was under increasing pressure every step forward.

"Command, blow the trumpet!" Seeing this, Xu Shu finally waited until Cao Jun was completely with Guan Yu's men, and he couldn't leave the battlefield in time, so he couldn't take advantage of the impact of tiger and leopard cavalry. Now let Zhang Liao join the battlefield , You can cooperate with Guan Yu inside and outside, and attack Cao Jun.Although Cao Hong still had tens of thousands of people waiting for the battle, they were not enough for Zhang Liao's [-] Xuzhou Army.

The sound of the distant horn was heard, and at the same time, the beacon fire was also ignited, which could be clearly seen dozens of miles away.Seeing this, Cao Cao didn't move his expression at all. He just ordered, "Zi Lian, Wen Ze, come forward with me and lead the tigers and leopards to stop them."

"Promise!" Cao Hong and Yu Jin agreed with a bang, and led the tens of thousands of Cao troops who had been waiting by the side to immediately press on.Jia Xu looked at Cao Hong who was leading the army forward, hesitated for a while, and then remonstrated: "King Wei, do you want to inform General Zixiao to send troops immediately?"

"Wait for a while, wait for a while before letting Zixiao come over. I think it depends on us, and we may not be able to eat Guan Yu and Zhang Liao." Cao Cao said lightly, then remembered something, and asked Jia Xu: "Gongming over there in Shanyang is there any news?"

"General Xu sent someone to send a message three days ago, just saying that Gao Shun and Wei Yan have just stationed troops in Qi County, and they are fighting against it." Jia Xu said, paused, and Jia Xu said: "There is only one other thing, Xu thinks there is something to worry about."
