Guan Yu led 10,000 people to Changbanpo and formed a large formation in the direction where Cao's army was about to arrive.
Zhao Yun came with eighty cavalrymen.
The two sides confronted each other from afar, and the troops led by Zhao Yun seemed so thin in front of Guan Yu's army.
He raised his sword and pointed it at Zhao Yun. Guan Yu shouted, "Zhao Zilong, I only bring such a few people. Could it be that you are coming to die?"
Zhao Yun curled his lips: "I brought eighty people, which is enough to kill you all."
As he said that, he shook the reins and shouted to the eighty cavalrymen: "Soldiers, kill with me!"
They only have eighty people, so Guan Yu certainly won't take it seriously.
He did not order the arrows to be fired, Guan Yu shouted: "Five hundred people came forward and killed Zhao Zilong for me."
Five hundred cavalrymen immediately walked out of the array and came up to face Zhao Yun and others.
If Guan Yu led a large army to swarm, Zhao Yun would have some concerns.
He only sent 500 people to fight, so Zhao Yun certainly wouldn't take it seriously.
He rushed to the front, and was about to collide with the enemy, Zhao Yun danced quickly with a spear in his hand, and poked at an enemy with a loud shout.
Under the inertia of the horse's charge, the cavalry was stabbed to the opposite end without even having time to lift the weapon.
The cavalry following Zhao Yun rushed forward.
The two sides fought together, and Zhao Yun was scattered among the enemy, and the enemy troops who were killing him fell off their horses.
Guan Yu, who was watching the battle from afar, couldn't stop it and shouted behind him: "More people go up and surround them."
With Guan Yu's order, countless Liu Bei's troops rushed up.
Seeing an enemy coming forward, Zhao Yun shouted: "Good come!"
Waving his spear, he rushed towards the enemy.
The eighty cavalry who were fighting with Liu Bei's cavalry saw more enemy troops coming up, and they were a little nervous.
Fortunately, they were all warriors who had experienced the battlefield and knew that reinforcements were coming soon, and their morale was not lost at all when they fought.
At the rushing enemy, Zhao Yun had no intention of slowing down.
The captain beside Guan Yu saw Zhao Yun’s bravery and said to him: “General Guan, Zhao Zilong is very skilled in martial arts. Do you want to shoot him to death by arrows?”
"So many people intercepted Zhao Yun and shot him to death, and more of us died." Guan Yu said: "I don't believe it. With his own strength, he can kill all of us..."
Before he finished speaking, Guan Yu was stunned.
He watched Zhao Yun kill out of the crowd and rushed over directly.
Zhao Yun got closer and closer, Guan Yu's face muscles twitched violently twice, and he shook the reins and rushed towards him.
Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were at odds with each other, and the soldiers of Liu Bei's army who were still in the array also shouted and rushed up.
He only brought eighty horses, and once Zhao Yun was surrounded, he was likely to be unable to break through the encirclement.
Just as Guan Yu led his army to charge, countless arrows suddenly flew out from the side, and countless Cao troops appeared in the empty place.
Sima Yi appeared in front of Liu Beijun on a horse.
Lu Bu and Wei Yan led the soldiers to rush up.
In the chaos, Liu Bei's army did not know how many enemies were coming. Lu Bu and Wei Yan were all powerful generals in the army. They were already shocked when they saw this formation.
Before he could rush to Zhao Yun, something suddenly happened. Guan Yu quickly turned around and shouted: "Go!"
He was the first to run outside the battlefield, and his soldiers quickly turned around and ran with him.
Zhao Yun, Lu Bu and Wei Yan were divided into three directions, each leading a group of people to chase and kill the fleeing enemy troops.
Liu Bei's army was running away and had no intention of turning back and fighting. Many people were caught by Cao's army and fell down by Cao's soldiers.
Three powerful generals pursued the enemy, while Sima Yi moved forward calmly under the protection of the guards.
In the battle of Changbanpo, Zhao Yun led the army with only eighty people, facing 10,000 enemies without any fear, which gave the army time to launch an attack.
Sima Yi led his army to pursue Guan Yu, and Cao Shuo also marched quickly with his troops.
When passing Changbanpo, Cao Shu found dead bodies everywhere, and Sima Yi did not leave anyone to deal with the bodies.
He ordered Deng Zhan, who was beside him, "Leave some civilians to bury the bodies."
The Cao family in Jingzhou wants it, and of course they will not let the body be thrown on the road after the battle.
If a plague breeds after the war, it will be a trouble for the Cao family.
Deng Zhan took the order and left some civilians to deal with the soldiers on both sides who died in Changbanpo, while Cao Shu led the army to continue to advance.
Following Cao Shu, seeing the abandoned Liu Bei army corpses all over the country, Pang Tong said to Cao Shu: "Young Master, the battle in Changbanpo is really fierce."
"It's of course to be intense." Cao Shu replied: "Fortunately, there are not many soldiers killed in our army, and I won't care how many enemy soldiers die."
Pang Tong didn't say anything anymore, but just looked at the abandoned dead bodies silently.
The army was moving forward, and was walking, and a fast horse came towards us.
Cao Shu could see from a distance that the one who came over was a soldier from Feixiong Camp.
When he arrived in front of him, the soldiers of Feixiong Camp saluted and said, "Young Master, General Sima defeated the enemy at Changbanpo, chased him to Dangyang Bridge, and then covered him for a while. Guan Yu and his few troops crossed the bridge, and the rest were captured by our army. But Zhang Fei blocked him at the bridge, and our army would not be able to kill him for a while."
"A mere Zhang Fei can actually stop the army from advancing." Cao Shuo said: "I ordered Sima Yi to protect Dangyang Bridge no matter what, and attack the bridge."
The soldiers from Feixiong Camp who came to report the news received the order and left.
After the soldiers left, Xu Shu said to Cao Shu: "Dangyang Bridge is too narrow. As long as our army attacks with a strong enemy line up opposite the river bank and shoots it with bows and arrows, even if it rushes over, the losses it will definitely suffer."
"It's a pity that the weapons have not been transported here yet." Cao Shuo said: "Otherwise, if they smashed them with a catapult, how could they have the chance to line up and shoot arrows across the bridge?"
"Send the order." Cao Shuo issued an order: "Speed up the journey and rushed to Dangyang Bridge."
The army accelerated its marching speed.
Sima Yi soon received an order from Cao Shu that he must cross Dangyang Bridge and preserve the bridge.
Looking at the enemy army opposite the bridge, Sima Yi frowned slightly.
"Zhongda, why don't I go." Lu Bu said: "Zhang Fei, who was standing in the opposite shore, pressing his position with his bow and arrow, actually dared to shout, which really made people feel unhappy."
"General Lu, don't be anxious." Sima Yi said: "The young master ordered us to keep Dangyang Bridge. As for the fact that we can't get over it, it's still up to date."
Pointing at Zhang Fei who was shouting opposite, Lu Bu asked, "Can you let that guy sway?"
At this time, opposite Dangyang Bridge, Zhang Fei was running back and forth.
He lifted the snake spear from time to time and shouted to Sima Yi and others: "Whoever dares to come forward and fight with me?"
Guan Yu, who escaped from the bridge, led the remnants of his troops to join Zhang Fei's troops and pressed the formation not far from the bridge. As long as Cao's army dared to cross the river, countless arrows would immediately fly onto the bridge deck.
