Guo Gong led his soldiers and horses back in a hurry. When he returned to a place more than ten miles away from Qiaocheng, he found that Lu Bu's army had not arrived yet, so he felt relieved.
At this moment, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly came from the distance.
Ta-ta-ta!
"Report!"
A spy came galloping on horseback.
"The soldiers and horses of Lu Bu's army have arrived, and there are only fifteen miles left from here."
Hearing the news, Guo Gong was shocked and said, "Send the order and the whole army will return to the city immediately."
"Wait a minute."
Liang Ge heard this order and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Guo Governor, if you rush back to the city at this time, if you are caught up by Lu Bu's army, the consequences will be disastrous."
After hearing this, Governor Guo suddenly came to his senses and secretly felt that he was in danger.
If two soldiers and horses fight head-on, the outcome will be between two sides.
But if one troop is retreating and is overtaken by another troop, the retreating troop will be defeated.
Not only that, they will be defeated miserably, and even the entire army will be annihilated.
When a troop of soldiers and horses retreats, if 100% of its combat effectiveness can be used to exert 20%, it is considered an elite in the army. You can imagine what the consequences will be if it is chased by the enemy.
"Mr. Liang, what should we do?"
Liang Ge sneered, "As the governor of Guo, Sun Tzu once said in the art of war, wait for the distance by waiting for the near, wait for the hard by the ease, wait for the hungry by the full, this is the way to control the strength."
Lu Bu's army has come a long way, and they must be exhausted. Our army can take a rest here, restore its fighting strength, and wait for work. We will definitely defeat Lu Bu's army in one battle."
Hearing this, Guo Gong was overjoyed. He nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "Mr. Liang is a man of extraordinary talent. I am truly lucky to have him help me."
When Liang Ge heard these words, he felt a little proud and hurriedly raised his hand, "Thank you so much, Governor Guo, for the compliment. I don't deserve it."
Guo Gong received Liang Ge's advice and his confidence immediately increased. He immediately ordered his troops to rest where they were, waiting for the arrival of Lu Bu's army.
At this moment, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly came from the distance.
Ta-ta-ta!
"Report!"
A spy came galloping on horseback.
"Report to Governor Guo that Lu Bu's army has only 5 miles left."
When Guo Gong heard the news from the spies, he hurriedly shouted, "The whole army is ready and arrayed to meet the enemy."
Following Guo Gong's order, Yuzhou soldiers and horses lined up in a neat square formation, blocking the entire official road, waiting for the arrival of Lu Bu's army.
Not long after, with the rumble of horse hooves, a group of soldiers and horses came running from a distance.
Guo Gong saw Lu Bu's army running in the distance and snorted coldly, "General Wang, prepare to meet the enemy."
Wang Yuan hurriedly bowed to accept the order and led a team of soldiers and horses to greet him.
Lu Bu's army came to the front, and with the sound of trumpets, they began to line up their troops and prepare to meet the enemy.
Wang Yuan clapped his horse and stepped forward, shouting loudly, "Who is coming? Dare you name me?"
At this moment, a sentry horse ran out from Lu Bu's army. The leader was a dignified and majestic man. It was Zhang Xiu who had come over first.
Zhang Xiu snorted coldly, "I am Zhang Xiu, a general under Marquis Wen. Who are you?"
Wang Yuan looked up to the sky and laughed, "Zhang Xiu, my general, Yuzhou General Wang Yuan, do you dare to fight me for 300 rounds?"
Zhang Xiu slowly took off the spear on his horse and said coldly, "As you wish."
Wang Yuan is very skilled in martial arts and is very famous in Yuzhou. He is considered the number one general under Guo Gong.
Wang Yuan raised his sword and was about to rush forward when a young general suddenly ran out from behind him, raised his hands and said, "General Wang, I am willing to fight."
After hearing this, Wang Yuan's face darkened, "Chen Dao, you are just a military prince. What qualifications do you have to fight? Why don't you retreat quickly?"
Chen Dao's face turned red after being scolded, and he could only step aside and sigh secretly.
Originally, I wanted to make a contribution and show Governor Guo that he was no ordinary person!
It's a pity that we are not allowed to fight, so we can only watch others make meritorious deeds.
The big knife in Wang Yuan's hand danced in the air, and the sound of whining wind also started.
"Haha, Zhang Xiu, you are honored to die under my general's sword today."
Zhang Xiu was always an arrogant person and had been suppressing his anger. When he saw Wang Yuan actually saying such big words, he felt angry and immediately waved the spear in his hand and rushed forward on horseback.
"Kill!"
Although Zhang Xiu was coming menacingly, Wang Yuanyi, a master of art, was bold and unafraid. He snorted coldly and swung his sword towards the spear that was coming towards him.
The two weapons collided together, making a crisp sound and then bounced away.
"Haha, Zhang Xiu, you are dead today."
The two struck a blow, and Wang Yuan immediately felt that Zhang Xiu was no match for him, and his confidence suddenly increased, and he slashed at Zhang Xiu with great force.
Zhang Xiu's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly waved his spear to block.
Bang bang bang!
The two of them quickly exchanged more than a dozen moves. Wang Yuan was so powerful in martial arts that he actually hit Zhang Xiu, who screamed and kept retreating.
Seeing that Wang Yuan had the upper hand, Guo Gong couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, "Haha, that's great, General Wang, if you win today, you will be rewarded heavily."
Liang Ge also nodded with satisfaction, "General Wang's martial arts is truly extraordinary and truly admirable!"
When the soldiers in Yuzhou saw that their general had the upper hand, their morale immediately increased, and some people started shouting for Wang Yuan.
Among these many people, only Chen Dao frowned while watching the fight between the two.
He and Zhang Xiu were both people who used spears. Many times, he saw that Zhang Xiu's spear could hit Wang Yuan if it advanced just one more point, but it just missed.
What's going on?
Could it be that Zhang Xiu's martial arts is too poor to imagine this?
Chen Dao was full of doubts, but couldn't explain.
Wang Yuan felt even more proud when he saw the cheers coming from behind him. When the two horses were staggered, he turned his head to look at Zhang Xiu, smiled proudly, stretched out three fingers, and shouted loudly.
"Zhang Xiu, within three moves, I will behead your dog."
Zhang Xiu was already panting from exhaustion, but he was still not convinced. He gritted his teeth and roared, "Dream, I will fight with you."
Ta-ta-ta!
The two war horses rushed toward each other at a gallop.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The two roared at the same time, and the weapons in their hands collided hard. Zhang Xiu's face turned red in shock, and he could no longer hold the spear in his hand, and flew directly into the air.
Wang Yuan was immediately overjoyed and shouted, "Zhang Xiu, take your life."
While he was speaking, Wang Yuan swung the sword in his hand and slashed down at Zhang Xiu.
"Ah!"
When Zhang Xiu saw Wang Yuan coming with a fierce force, he yelled, turned around and ran away.
When Liang Ge saw Wang Yuan's victory, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Guo Governor, the enemy general is defeated at this time, which is when morale is low. If you don't attack now, how long will you wait!"
After hearing this, Guo Gong immediately reacted and shouted hurriedly, "The whole army will obey the order and attack immediately."
