Between Guanping and Ma Dai and the other two were fighting fiercely, Ding Feng and Ma Yu urged the infantry brigade to slowly push forward.
At this time, under the heavy clouds, the Sun and Liu armies intertwined, like turtles and snakes entangled, and the sound of killing was shaking the earth. Guan Ping and Ma Dai had taken the initiative, but the left and right sides of the Wu army were still insisting, at least it was far from the point of disintegration. The drums, horns and shouts of assisting the war were still calm, and it was obvious that the commanders of the Wu army were also calm.
Ding Feng felt that it was not time for the infantry brigade to follow up and attack.
He took a few steps to Ma Yu beside him, wanting to tell his point of view; Ma Yu looked into the enemy formation from a distance, as if he had not noticed Ding Feng at all.
Ding Feng coughed a few embarrassedly.
He knew that this was because he had just called the generals present "waste" and offended General Guan's subordinates.
In the past few decades, Ding's family in Anfeng has been out of county officials or pavilions. Ding Feng has his own troops, relatives and slaves, and is not the kind of rude warrior who has just fought and started from the army. Ding Feng himself has a sense of his own, so he is not talking nonsense.
However, Ding Feng married the daughter of the Lei clan of Lujiang. He was usually regarded as his brother-in-law by Lei Yuan. His uncle Ding Li was the first important subordinate to die for Lei Yuan. Therefore, Lei Yuan was the most tolerant of him all the time, which led to him being a little arrogant recently and having fewer people in his mouth.
Ding Feng was a little nervous at the moment of Ma Yu's attitude, worried that these words would make Guan Ping's troops dissatisfied for a long time, and then it would reach General Guan in Jingzhou.
He coughed again and again, and forced a topic to praise: "General Guan rushed to this moment, and the enemies in front of him were destroyed, and there was no general in a row... As expected, the generals came out of the sect, they were really amazing! They were so brave!"
Ma Yu glanced at Ding Feng and thought to himself, the commander of the army was furious by you, and you will kill him in front of the formation to show off your courage. Your Ding Chengyuan's eloquence is the best.
Thinking of this in my heart, Ding Feng was obviously convinced and he was not easy to scold him. So Ma Yu said, "I joined the army during the Xingping period and followed the general of the Bangbang Bang. Even in the situation where there were many different people, the Bangbang Bang and the major general of my family were still in a state of great power. Therefore, I always felt that few powerful generals and strong soldiers in the world could compare with us. But I never expected that Ma Jiawei, a subordinate of General Lei, was so brave to charge and break the formation. I admired Ma Yu!"
Ding Feng laughed dryly and scratched his short beard under his jaw.
There is inevitably competition among the lieutenants under Lei Yuan's command. For example, Ding Feng has always wanted to overwhelm Ma Dai. Now Ma Yu praised Ma Dai one after another, which made Ding Feng worry. He thought again: If he hadn't roared too much, Guan Pingyuan would not have been the vanguard; if Guan Ping did not become a vanguard, I, Ding Chengyuan and Ma Dai, attacked two times and compared the results of the formation battle, wouldn't it be great?
Blame me! Blame myself!
As he thought about it, the strength in his hands became a little stronger and he immediately pulled off a few beards.
At this time, the sky became more and more gloomy and the wind became stronger and stronger. The flags of the infantry behind him were rolling around.
Ding Feng looked up at the sky and said again: "It's raining!"
I don’t know if I can decide the outcome before the rain falls?
The wind came from the southwest and passed through the continuous waters, carrying moist water vapor, making people breathe fresh and refreshed. But Guan Ping rushed for a while and felt a ball of fire burning in his lungs, and the gases that were breathing emitted high heat, which could burn the blood on the armor to dry.
He listened to the drum beats in the Wu army's square formation in front of him. The drum beats were sounded and urged the soldiers in the two circles inside and outside the square formation to change positions. The soldiers in the outer circle retreated into the inner circle to rest and complete the team. The new force in the inner circle went out to meet the enemy. When the drum beat sounded, it was exactly the moment when Guan Ping was forced to retreat when the Shanyue barbarians surrounded him again, and the timing was very accurate.
It can be seen that the Jiangdong generals who commanded this square formation are by no means incompetent.
Guan Ping looked back at his own troops. Because hundreds of people were entangled, he could not see the strength of his infantry for a while. He only knew that both teams on the left and right were shouting and fighting fiercely, and his momentum was not low. However, the number of knights was obviously smaller. Originally, the hundred cavalry broke through the formation, but now there were about sixty or seventy people following him, and everyone was covered with blood. Most of them abandoned their spears and used swords instead.
And the Wu army's phalanx is still stable!
Guan Ping's two thick eyebrows were tightly furnished.
He really couldn't understand the military system of Jiangdong.
Under the account of Xuande Gong, the strength of the troops' combat effectiveness can be roughly understood by the general's status.
The two generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had the highest status, and their troops were the most elite. Then, although Zhao Yun was only the general of the Yi Army, he led the central army and led the Baili army with Chen Dao. Therefore, he was second only to the two generals Guan and Zhang. Later, it was Lei Xuzhi's turn, followed by generals such as Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Wei Yan, and Yizhou were the generals again.
But in Jiangdong, the status of the generals and the combat effectiveness of their troops were simply inseparable. After the Battle of Chibi, Guan Ping fought side by side with his father and the soldiers of Jiangdong. He had seen Zhou Lang and many heavy Jiangdong generals, but he felt that it was just like this. But the troops of Lu Dai in front of him were so tenacious?
Could it be that my bold statement in the Central Army tent was wrong? This person is really a famous general in Jiangdong? I am the only one who is ignorant and ignorant?
Guan Ping couldn't help but curse.
At this time, he had to give instructions, and his subordinates who were paying attention to the situation of Ma Dai's troops at any time tied up and said, "General, Ma Dai's troops have already..."
"Stop talking!" Guan Ping shouted.
The subordinate was surprised.
Guan Ping slowed down and said, "The enemy is not in chaos. Don't worry about Ma Bozhan anymore. Let's concentrate on breaking the enemy in front of you first."
Before he finished speaking, he and the armors of the people around him suddenly made a "crackling" sound.
The sound was like a falling arrow, so that someone subconsciously leaned down and raised his shield. They immediately reacted, it was not a falling arrow, it was raining.
It was a very heavy rain!
At first, large raindrops fell heavily, hitting the ground, causing clusters of dust and smoke; falling on people's faces, making people feel vaguely painful. Then the raindrops were connected to rain lines, the rain lines were connected to rain curtains, and the rain curtains were connected to torrents pouring like a rolling sky and earth. Accompanied by the torrent, there were thunder and lightning in the depths of the thick clouds!
Guan Ping looked around and saw that the entire battlefield was covered by heavy rain. Several feet away from him, he could no longer see the war. He could only hear the sound of weapons and the roar of the roars.
The weather around Panyu has been gloomy for two consecutive days, and all the generals feel that it will rain at any time. However, no one expected that after two days of brewing, the rain was so violent!
"General!" Another subordinate approached and shouted in the sound of roaring rain: "General, the rain is too heavy and we can't continue fighting! Today, the enemy has been scared. Let's lead our troops to retreat a little, it's not too late for Tianqing to fight again!"
Guan Ping looked at him and then around him.
Such heavy rain reminded him of the time when Jiangling faced the siege of Cao's army. That time he fought hard for a long time, and although he finally forced his enemy to retreat, he failed to achieve a commendable great merit. This time...
The rain poured down, sinking everything into the water. The water flowed along the gaps of the armor and soaked the leather tapes of his clothes and armor, making it difficult for him to move every move; the water flowed on the ground, turning the flat grass into a sludge pond, Guan Ping stood in place, noting that the mud slowly disappeared from his ankles, and then continued to rise to his calf; the water splashed on the war horse, causing the war horse to neigh uneasy.
Horses are very emotionally sensitive animals. This harsh environment can easily make horses frightened and sick. Ma Dai's cavalry are from Liangzhou, and they will not have the experience of driving war horses in the rain. Therefore, no matter how Guan Ping decides, Ma Dai must retreat.
Guan Ping made up his mind. He said: "The rain is really heavy."
"Yeah yeah."
"In such heavy rain, the bows and crossbows of the Jiangdong people will soon lose their function; their military orders cannot be transmitted smoothly; their formations cannot be adjusted and changed quickly like before; even if they want to mobilize their troops, they will be limited by the sludge and flowing water all over the ground. They can't even figure out where we will come!" Guan Ping laughed: "Isn't this God's will?"
"Do you want it?"
Guan Ping untied his pants and threw them on the ground. In such heavy rain, the pants slid on his head, which easily blocked his view.
He pointed to two more entourages: "You guys come here to remove my armor!"
The two entourages came up hurriedly and took off Guan Ping's armor in a hurry. Also because of the heavy rain, the silk ribbons and leather ribbons that were tied with armor were already wet, and the armor became a burden to restrain the actions at this time.
Guan Ping watched his entourage remove his armor pieces one by one, then held his knife in his hand and pointed to the chaotic scene in the surrounding rain: "In such heavy rain, we are in chaos, and the enemy will be even more chaotic. You said, who can win the battle between the two armies?"
Immediately, a general replied: "The enemy only relies on the stable formation to entangle with us. If the two armies had fought in chaos, they would have been killed by our vanguard three or five times!"
