Chapter 58: Yanyue Broadsword

 At the beginning of the war, Guan Yu's troops were hidden at the foot of the west side of Baideng Mountain. There were pine trees and poplar trees several feet tall everywhere, standing straight, and small yellow leaves poking out to the surrounding area. But when the rising sun rose, it sprinkled a slightly cool and infinite light to the west, and was hidden by these broken leaves like children's fingers. So the mountains and fields down were full of surging shadows like wind and waves, and they deeply merged with the figures of the Western Knights.

The reason why they hid here was Chen Chong and Jia Xu's design after discussion. In his opinion, if Guan Yu's troops were placed on the top of the mountain, although it could relieve the pressure, it would be difficult to establish a victory due to the limitations of the terrain and the blockades of the eastern people on the front. It would be better to take a risk and hide the cavalry behind the mountain. It would be difficult for the eastern people to discover, so they could win by surprise.

The main general Guan Yu had no objection to this, but the deputy general Ma Chao felt hesitant. Although he was thirty years old, he was already a famous talent in Longyou and knew the way of fighting formations. At this time, he went to war with the Western Army for the first time. In his opinion, if he wanted to make achievements with this amazing army, he needed all the elite troops of the Eastern Army to go to the front line without anyone taking care of Cao Cao's original formation. The Western Army divided the troops and wanted to involve most of the Eastern Army alone, the conditions were a bit harsh. However, as the two armies began to fight, the rising sun slowly approached Zhongtian, and Ma Chao's fighting spirit gradually rose.

Just as Liu Bei arrived from Cailiang Mountain and Zhang Fei's troops and Qu Yi's troops began to fight, Chen Chong sent an envoy to come over and announced: "The thieves in the east will go out to the north, and there will be few defenses on the south side, so you can attack!"

Everyone had been preparing for a long time and even ate dry food twice. When they heard the news, they all looked at Guan Yu. Seeing that the soldiers were thinking of fighting, Guan Yu couldn't help but smile. He pulled up a long-handled sword from the ground and said to the envoy: "You go to repay your brother, and say that Yun Chang will destroy his army!"

When he placed the sword in front of him, people couldn't help but focus on the past: the hilt of the sword was six feet long and four feet long. What's unique is that the back of the sword was wide and thick, and you can tell at a glance that it was extremely heavy. Even Guan Yu himself had to use two hands to dance. This must have been made with excellent fine iron and took a long time to make it. It was the first time that everyone saw Guan Yu carrying this sword, so they asked about the origin of the sword. Guan Yu smiled and said that this was a Dragon Shou sent to supervise Hedong. It failed five times in a row, and it was built this summer and brought two days ago. Because the sword was like half a month, Chen Chong called it the Yanyue Sword.

Guan Yu was riding on the horse with a knife at this time, and it was like an iron tower. All the soldiers around him felt admiration. Guan Yu raised his arms and shouted, and the last cavalry of the Westerners boarded the horse and followed him, and ran out quickly from the deep forest.

They bypassed the foot of Baideng Mountain and quietly distanced a distance from the battlefield where they were fighting. When they saw the sparkling Wenying Lake, they turned around and rode east from the north shore of the lake. Two moments later, Guan Yu heard the sound of fighting in the distance, and probably had reached the southeast of the east, so he ordered his subordinates to stop and rest for a while.

After the re-arrangement was completed, Guan Yu made people blow the horns. The horns were vast, like dark clouds coming from afar, the cavalry was excited, and the galloping was even more like thunder. The Westerners rushed to the sky in an instant! They stepped through three streams, allowing the flowing water and gravel to roll between the horse's hooves, and the abundant blood rushed to their foreheads, giving them the illusion of flying into the air itself. The astonished look of facing the East made them feel even more courageous, just like a flying needle breaking through the paper. With a "puff", the Western cavalry team at the forefront had already penetrated.

When the soldiers of Cao Cao's formation saw the Westerners suddenly rushing up, the Western knights were almost around. Many people didn't even have the chance to shoot arrows, and only a row of sparse arrows shot out. In order to pursue speed, among the Westerners who attacked the Eastern Army, a considerable number of knights were not wearing armor and fell down dozens of horses like fallen leaves. The other knights rushed to the front quickly, and the horse team immediately entangled and intertwined. The enemy and us were close at hand, and the weapons were stabbed and chopped each other, and the middle ones kept falling off.

The Westerners were prepared to attack but not, and the people who rushed over later took advantage of the fact that the Eastern Army was not in time to change their formation and crossed through the gaps on both sides. When they saw the Huang Tianteng Snake Banner and knew that it was Cao Cao's original seat, they attacked one after another. More than fifty cavalry rushed under Cao Cao's command. Although they didn't know themselves, they saw that there were only more than twenty people from the east here, fighting to the death to cover the cavalry behind them, and they knew that the wealthy were in it. So their courage doubled and they all fought to the death.

Cao Cao's confidants and tiger soldiers were only more than ten people caught off guard, and they fought with weapons regardless of their status. The life and death of a person was just a blink of an eye.

The Sima of the Eastern Marshal's Office and Cao Xiu, the son of the Cao Cao clan, saw that the enemy was approaching, threw away the bow and stabbed the Westerner in front with a single hand. At this time, the two horses and horses faced each other. The Westerner had no time to avoid it, so he had to throw away his weapons and tied his hands to catch the spear, but he had no time to stop the long scepter. The sting suddenly pressed against his chest. Because the mount was still running forward, the man was knocked back by the sting and screaming and rolled off his horse. But after one person killed, several cavalry rushed around him, causing him to fall into a bitter battle again.

Seeing this, Cao Zhen, who was in charge of the army on the other side, didn't care about whether the formation was or not. He immediately rushed to Xiahou Dun and said, "The situation is critical at this moment. What tactics can be spoken? Let the marshal first be able to talk about anything else!" After hearing this, Xiahou Dun nodded as if he had just woken up and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Go to the general flag to kill the enemy! Those who can kill the level will be rewarded more!"

After saying that, several generals rode their horses into the formation. Seeing that the generals were so brave, the panic in their hearts dissipated and followed closely like a tide. The Westerners in front were fighting with the tiger soldiers beside Cao Cao. Seeing that most of the enemy came to help, they knew that it was impossible to make contributions on their own, so they retreated back to the Western Army and quickly reported to Guan Yu: "Cao Cao is here!"

Guan Yu's eyes narrowed when he heard this, but with the passion, he could still restrain his expression and asked calmly in the chaos: "How many people are there around him?"

"There are only more than a hundred people at the moment, but the Eastern people are trying their best to save each other, and the elites are rushing over!"

Guan Yu said slowly, "Since this is the case, the formations on his left and right will be completely in chaos!" Just when everyone thought Guan Yu was going to attack and encircle him, Guan Yu suddenly turned his head and said to Ma Chao: "It is urgent to follow the power. There is a great opportunity to destroy the Eastern thieves at present, so you can't let it go! But this plan is dangerous, Meng Qi, you can lead most of the wings to attack! I'll take Cao Man directly!"

Seeing Ma Chao nodding, he immediately whipped several whips and rushed to the Huangtian Tengshe Banner. The knights around him also raised their swords and ran. Among them were Jia Kui from Hedong, Pan from Xihewei, Zhang Qian from Shangdang, Du Peng from Shangluo, Liao Hua from Nanyang and others advanced behind. They followed some armored knights, contracted 108 cavalry and went east along the smoke and dust just left by Guan Yu.

Besides, when Cao Cao's side, the Western Knight rushed to his side, and he was still in shock. Seeing Xiahou Dun and Cao Zhen rushing up to rescue him, he laughed and said, "If you are waiting for the guards, even if Yun Chang comes here, what are I afraid of?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a noise from the south. Looking around, he saw a stream of smoke and dust rolling in. The leader of the knight's iron armored horse was like a flock of cranes standing out in the crowd. The people around him were unable to resist and retreated to the left and right. This made Cao Cao recognize it immediately: it must be Guan Yu!

He immediately became shocked and pointed at Dian Wei, Sun Guan and others and said, "Guan Yu is brave, you can shoot him with crossbow arrows!" Then he said to Cao Zhen, "The back is messy, Zidan, I will fight with you again." Then he rode his horse and retreated to Cao Zhen.

At this moment, the entire army looked at Dian Wei, hoping that this recognized number one warrior in the Western Army could defeat Guan Yu. Dian Wei also knew that he had no one to sacrifice himself, so he immediately rode a horse to meet him.

On that day, Dian Wei had only two armors with arrows on his upper body, and his shirtlessness was exposed, revealing his strong muscles. He rode a yellow-maned horse, holding two extremely heavy halberds in his hand, and when he saw him running from the crowd, the Eastern people fighting were happy to hear him: "Dian Wei, Zhongzhou, is famous in the capital of the Guan Shen!" Guan Yu's attention was immediately attracted and he recognized him instantly.

Both of them are old acquaintances in the letter, but this is the first time they are fighting on the battlefield. Just when everyone thought they were going to fight for a hundred rounds, Guan Yu was high and the horse reins, and Chi Tu jumped violently, as if it was really like thunder and lightning, and rushed straight towards Dian Wei. Dian Wei didn't expect that he would come so quickly, and was shocked. The two halberds in his hand had subconsciously blocked in front of him, trying to use the halberd pole to block the blade.

However, no matter what obstacles Guan Yu had, even if there were gods, ghosts and demons in front of him, he was focused and swung his best in this knife. The heavy sword slashed down, splitting the halberd rod, and the blade entered Dian Wei's left shoulder blade, piercing through his whole body, and then pierced out from his right abdomen, dragging a cavity of blood in the air, on the earth, and even on his own face and forehead.

At this time, people saw that the number one warrior in the East was cut into two sections in an instant. The first half fell to the ground and the second half was still sitting upright on the horse. They could see the continuous emergence of black blood and heartbreak from the terrifying wounds. The eastern people were shocked and silent. You must know that not no one among the strong men cut off people in the waist with a knife, but Guan Yu cut off two halberd poles and an iron armor. How can he describe it as bravery alone?

Sun Guan was standing behind, and had already bent his bow and hit a heavy arrow. He was about to aim at Guan Yu, but suddenly he saw this situation and his soul was scattered without being close to him. His heart was full of fear. A wave of disgust came, and he could no longer control the bowstring in his hand. The bow head drooped, but the arrow shot out and hit his instep. Although the force was not very strong, it had already broken his toes.

Seeing this, the Westerners following Guan Yu couldn't help but feel fearful, but soon turned to admiration. Some Westerners who had been in Chang'an and turned to believe in the Buddha said, "If the general was born with a Buddha's appearance and was reincarnated by the Buddha, then the military marquis would be the reincarnation of Visakhsatis!"

Guan Yu turned a deaf ear to these comments. His sword also took a lot of effort, which forced him to breathe on the spot with the knife, allowing blood to flow from both sides of his eyebrows and eyes, which also made him look bloody. But looking around, the people from the east retreated unconsciously, and obviously no one dared to fight him head-on.
