Chapter 326 The first battle in Kuaiji
Guan Yu's march was somewhat beyond everyone's expectations, but it seemed to be within everyone's expectations.
After all, he is the daring Guan Yunchang. Even if he does something, I'm afraid it will be reasonable.
Therefore, when faced with such a situation, Shi Xie didn't say much. He just sent himself and his heirs to Cangwu in accordance with the requirements in his letter of surrender.
Then Xue Zong arranged for troops and horses to escort them into Xiangyang...
At this time, Xue Zong and Ma Liang also began to arrange for troops to enter other counties in Jiaozhou one by one.
Shi Xie's surrender expanded Liu Bei's territory to a large extent in one breath. Most of Jiaozhou was taken over, which really left a lot of vacancies.
Therefore, Ma Liang specially sent an order to Jingzhou and transferred Lu Yi, Xiang Lang, Xiang Chong, Pang Ji, Han Ran and others into Jiaozhou to help manage the government affairs of Jiaozhou...
On the other side, Guan Yu, who had put down all government affairs and rear affairs, rushed towards Kuaiji County.
He didn't even want to find a reason for this trip, he just wanted to have a fight with Jiangdong.
The root cause is just two points.
First, before Liu Bei and others left, Zhuge Liang told them to be careful about Jiangdong, because Zhou Gongjin always wanted to swallow Jingzhou.
Second... Zhou Gongjin has really been testing Jiangxia's defense recently, but because neither side has completely taken a breath, he is more restrained.
How could Guan Yu, who had already reorganized his troops and horses, accept such a thing?
He decided to strike preemptively and send troops out of Kuaiji!
But what Guan Yu didn't expect was that just when he was about to enter Kuaiji, his scouts rushed over with a mess and a few arrows missing.
"There are troops arriving from Jiangdong!"
In July of the 16th year of Jian'an, Sun Quan, who had finally digested all the fruits of victory and defeat, finally extended his claws to Jiaozhou.
With Bu Zhi as the commander, Yin Yi, Sun Sheng, Chen Shao, Cheng Dang, Song Ding, and Xu Gu directly attacked Jiaozhou from Kuaiji.
He wants to seize half of Jiaozhou first, use this to restrain Guan Yu's troops, and then continue to look for opportunities to attack Jiangxia and even the entire Jingzhou...
And they faced Guan Yu head-on at the border between Kuaiji and Jiaozhou.
"Jiangdong is invading..." Guan Yu looked at the unconscious scout. While arranging the doctors accompanying the army to treat him, Guan Yu directly raised the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand.
"Since the thief is coming, why should we not welcome him?
All officers and men, follow me to kill the enemy!"
Following Guan Yu's roar, the army charged straight towards the direction the enemy was coming from.
Although the soldiers charged and fought in an orderly manner, there was no formation at all.
Guan Yu took the lead, and the rest of the generals roared up, and the soldiers followed behind, the simplest charging formation.
Simple, yet efficient!
"Kill!"
At the same time, Bu Zhi also received news of Guan Yu's arrival, although he was shocked that Guan Yu would attack Kuaiji at this time.
But he also reacted with the same speed as the culprit.
That is to let the army immediately form a formation, and then slowly retreat, looking for terrain that is favorable to them, and prepare to directly form a formation and defend it.
At the same time, orders were sent to the rear, so that Yu Fan, He Qi, Lu Xun and others from Kuaiji County were ready.
If the war here is not going well, he will immediately send troops to help and guard Kuaiji to prevent Guan Yu from invading...
After making all these preparations, Bu Zhao saw the army of powerful generals charging towards him.
"Guan Yunchang...how dare you look down on us like this!" Bu Zhao looked at Guan Yu's army who rushed over regardless, and his heart was filled with anger at this time.
The generals on the side are also rising stars in Jiangdong in the past two years.
I had never participated in the previous Battle of Jingzhou. Although I had heard about Guan Yu’s reputation, my face turned red when I saw Guan Yu being so reckless.
"How dare you be so presumptuous as a veteran who is nearly fifty years old!"
"The brave generals in the world are just the generals who lose in a row. How arrogant!"
"Gather up a formation, and all the officers and men will follow my orders and follow me to kill this thief!"
Following the anger of Bu Zhao and his generals, the army quickly responded, stopping directly on the spot and quickly changing its formation to directly meet them.
"Soldiers, kill!"
"Crossbowman, shoot!"
With the roars and orders of Guan Yu and Bu Zhao, the battle officially began. In the Jiangdong camp, a large number of crossbowmen released their bowstrings.
A hail of arrows fell rapidly, and more than a hundred of Guan Yu's soldiers were killed.
At the same time, Guan Yu's armor and stomach were also hit by several arrows, but his armor and stomach were strong, so the arrows did not damage his vital parts.
However, after this rain of arrows, Guan Yu also directly urged the red rabbit horse under his crotch to rush towards the opponent.
In an instant, the red BMW rushed in front of Jiangdong's army with Guan Yu, who was nine feet tall and wielding a long sword.
"Kill!"
With another roar, Red Rabbit jumped directly across the front shield and led Guan Yu into the Jiangdong Army's formation. The Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand killed several people in a row with one swing.
In the conflict between the left and right, they even went straight into the formation of the crossbowmen, directly interrupting the second rain of arrows.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Cang and others immediately led the army to rush over and broke through Jiangdong's military formation in an instant.
"Thief, you just mocked Guan!"
Song Ding, the lieutenant general who was directing his soldiers to charge, suddenly heard such words that chilled him to the bone.
Immediately following him, he saw Guan Yu, who had rushed to his side at some point, and the guard who had turned into a corpse...
"Guan...Guan Yu!"
Screaming as the long knife fell, Song Ding desperately raised his spear, but in the end both the man and the spear were chopped in half.
Looking at the broken body lying on the ground, Guan Yu showed a touch of disdain on his face.
"Are people like this worthy of fighting with Guan?"
But just when Guan Yu finished saying this, he saw on the other side, dozens of Jiangdong soldiers directly pulled a general under his command off his horse.
Then dozens of spears pierced into the man's body in an instant...
"Liu Jian!"
Under Guan Yu's angry eyes, Liu Jian, the school captain who had joined Liu Biao from Yuan Shao's command, fought to the death on this battlefield.

He became his second general to die in this battle.
"Kill!"
The angry Guan Yu directly looked past the other generals of Jiangdong Army, and rushed towards the commander.
I want to defeat the enemy again.
It's a pity...
"Protect the general!" Following the roar of Jiangdong Army, thousands of soldiers gathered in the direction of Bu Stallion almost at the same time.
