Although Guan Yu kept his sword in hand after he was made, he often practiced against Xu Huang, but this was the first time he was fighting against the enemy in the face of battle.
The horse is fast and the knife is fast, and Guan Yu is in a happier mood.
If you are afraid of hurting people during practice, you will inevitably hold back and not be happy enough. If you act without mercy when killing enemies, the feeling of unity of people and horses is more obvious.
The heavy blade cut Wen Chou's neck. The moment the blood spurted out like a spring, Guan Yu felt the long-lost pleasure and believed what Xu Huang said.
A long sword is the most suitable weapon for him.
With a backhand, Wen Chou's flag-holding soldiers and the flags were cut into four pieces. Guan Yu roared fiercely and rushed into the enemy group.
The Xiliang horse spread its four hooves, and it was rushing at lightning.
The long sword flew, and even blocked it. No matter whether the opponent used a ring-headed sword or a spear, he could not withstand the heavy sword lightly knocking. However, Guan Yu, with his powerful strength, danced the long sword like snow.
It is generally light and comes in with the wind, taking the opponent's life between the palms.
There is no enemy in front of the horse, and the cold light and passionate blood fly together.
Although Wen Chou led many cavalry, Wen Chou was killed in the last battle and lost command. Guan Yu was too strong and invincible. The formation was broken through the middle line by Guan Yu, and the knights were divided into two teams. He was panicked and was killed immediately.
The five hundred knights often trained with Guan Yu, and they had known that Guan Yu had good martial arts. Now, seeing Guan Yu killing generals and grabbing the flag, his heart is full of passion, and I am invincible. I roar in unison and charge with Guan Yu.
Sima Yi was wrapped in it and was stunned to see the knights who were like wolves and tigers easily destroying their opponents.
After just one charge, Wen Chou's subordinates collapsed and fled in all directions.
Guan Yu relied on the speed of the horse and chased after a while, then he slowly withdrew his troops and ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up, especially the war horses.
He rushed over for a long distance, and the horse's physical strength was greatly damaged. If it was not replenished in time, its combat effectiveness would decline rapidly.
Sima Yi rushed to Guan Yu and bowed to him. "The general is brave and admired."
Guan Yu smiled and raised the long sword in his hand. "Can I take Yecheng with my horse from the crotch and a knife in my palm?"
Sima Yi smiled. "Only one thing is missing."
"What?"
"Thirty thousand elite sledges."
Guan Yu glanced at Sima Yi and laughed. Although he was proud, he knew that Sima Yi was right. He alone could not take over Yecheng. Sima Yi said that only 30,000 infantry and cavalry would give him face.
If you really want to take down Yecheng, you can't do it without 50,000 elite troops.
Xu Huang only has 2,300 stairs and cavalry. Although Dong Zhao has more than 10,000 county soldiers, those people are ordinary people and are not considered elite.
"Then let Yuan Shao live for a few more days." Guan Yu pointed his sword. "When the emperor fights eastward, I will be the vanguard and take Yecheng straight."
"I will still serve as a guide for the general at that time." Sima Yi said.
Guan Yu laughed.
After quickly counting the battlefield, the results were very good. Although the number of real beheadings was not large, the weight was very heavy. In addition to Wen Chou, there were seven or eight grassroots generals such as military marquis and treasury chiefs who were killed, and half of them died during the period.
Under Guan Yu's sword.
But Guan Yu was a little unhappy.
There were not many beheadings, but more than a dozen knights under his command were injured due to insufficient horsepower and were trampled to death by war horses. After counting the loss of the war, he barely fulfilled his promise to Xu Huang.
This battle is a quick victory, and the battle losses can barely meet the standards. If the two armies face off, how can they achieve 10-to-1 battle losses?
Guan Yu had a headache.
After Liu Bei's war for many years, he has always charged forward and beheaded a lot. But by heart, the real victory is very limited, so naturally he is not in the mood to calculate the battle loss ratio. With the use of elite soldiers, winning is no longer a difficult problem.
, the battle loss ratio has become a roadblock.
Seeing that Guan Yu's face was not good, Sima Yi was surprised and asked tentatively.
Guan Yu hesitated for a moment and said his agreement with Xu Huang. After hearing this, Sima Yi smiled and said, "General, don't worry, there are roughly two reasons why the loss ratio of this battle is not good. If the general can listen to me,
I promise you will win every battle.”
"Speak and listen."
"First, the general rushed to the rescue thousands of miles away, the soldiers were exhausted, and the terrain was not familiar with the terrain, the loss was not due to war, but insufficient preparation. Second, the general killed Wen Chou, destroyed the enemy, but did not chase him, so
The number of beheadings is limited. If you can chase them all the way and expand the results of the battle, the beheadings should be more than five times more."
After thinking for a while, Guan Yu understood the truth.
Saying a thousand or saying ten thousand is still a bit underestimating the enemy. If I had accepted Sima Yi's advice at that time, I would take up the favorable terrain first, so that the soldiers could have a rest, eat something, replenish their energy, and then take the opportunity to observe the battlefield, maybe I would have avoided it
These two questions.
Although he agreed with it in his heart, Guan Yu still refused to admit defeat and smiled without objection.
After cleaning up the battlefield, several people were sent to escort the prisoners and spoils, and Guan Yu set off again.
The defeated soldiers of Wen Chou's troops returned to the camp and reported the battle situation to the chief general Cui Jun. When they learned that Wen Chou was killed and the entire army was defeated, Cui Jun was shocked and quickly ordered a retreat.
Guan Yu led his troops to pursue him and encountered several encounters with Cui Jun's troops. He adopted Sima Yi's suggestion and defeated him as soon as he defeated him, and kept the battle loss ratio below 10 to 1.
News of the defeat continued to come, Guan Yu was getting closer and closer, Cui Jun panicked and ordered the evacuation to accelerate.
When passing by Dangyin, Cui Jun was attacked by the Black Mountain Army again, and his morale became increasingly declining.
Guan Yu seized the opportunity and led his troops to break through the formation, quickly penetrated Cui Jun's front and killed Cui Jun.
Seeing Guan Yu waving his long sword and rushing left and right in the battle formation, as if he was entering a no-man state, Cui Jun was scared. The terrifying memory of being defeated by Gongsun Zan came to his heart again.
He threw down the army and ran away under the protection of his personal guards.
Yuan's army collapsed, and Guan Yu led the cavalry and chased the north.
Yecheng was shocked and quickly sent someone to report to Yuan Shao.
According to Guan Yu's intention, he was to kill directly under Yecheng. Even if he could not capture Yecheng, he would let the people in Yecheng see his majesty. Sima Yi raised an objection and suggested that Guan Yu stay in Dangyin and in Liyang.
You Ge in the Yellow area.
This area is very close to Yecheng, and Yuan Shao attached great importance to it, so he sent general Jiang Qi to lead heavy troops to Liyang to guard the nearby Yellow River Ferry.
Yuan Shao withdrew his troops from the Central Plains and returned to Yecheng. The nearby Puyang is one of the optional ferry crossings.
Jiang Qi is a stern person, so he is unlikely to use heavy troops to encircle and suppress Guan Yu, and will only guard the camp and protect the Puyang Ferry. But if Guan Yu directly attacks Yecheng, the situation will be different. Jiang Qi will definitely send troops to help.
In this way, Guan Yu would be trapped in heavy siege, and Dong Zhao's troops were not enough to rescue the siege.
Guan Yu may not be defeated, but the losses will definitely be huge.
Instead of going deeper alone, it is better to wait for Xu Huang and Dong Zhao to arrive and find a way together. They can not only complete the scheduled tasks, but also control the losses to the lowest level to maintain their previous advantages.
Guan Yu deeply agreed. While sending someone to send letters to Dong Zhao and Xu Huang, he led his troops to roam between Dangyin, Liyang and Neihuang.
