"Chief Yun, return to the formation!" Xu Huang shouted to Guan Yu in the formation. Xu Huang knew Guan Yu's martial arts. He would not be at a disadvantage when fighting alone with any Cao army general. But the problem is that after losing two generals in succession, the Cao army soldiers were likely to be angry and rush forward. As the saying goes, two fists cannot beat four hands, Xu Huang then called Guan Yu back to the formation to avoid accidents.

Guan Yu waved the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, leaving the Cao army soldiers with a chic back, and calmly returned to Xu Huang. At this time, the 50,000 Han troops led by Guan Yu also arrived at the battlefield. Under the leadership of Liao Hua and Zhou Cang, he joined forces with Xu Huang and faced Cao's 300,000 troops.

Li Jin and Yue Xi, the two tiger generals, originally wanted to stand out in the battle formation to block Guan Yu, but they were not sure to defeat Guan Yu. Moreover, it is not the time to show off their bravery. The two of them are also responsible for commanding their respective subordinates to fight, so they did not stop them and allowed Guan Yu and Xu Huang to gather together.

Seeing that the Han army had more powerful arm help from Guan Yu, and 50,000 reinforcements came, Cao Cao's brows frowned unconsciously. Xu Huang was not easy to deal with, but now there was another Guan Yu. How could Cao Cao not frown? His eyes turned around on Guan Yu, and Cao Cao took a few steps forward and said loudly: "Chang Yun! Are you okay?"

Guan Yu put away the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in the Han army formation and bowed to Cao Cao, saying, "King of Wei, Guan is rude today, I hope the King of Wei will forgive me." Guan Yu always remembered that when he traveled thousands of miles to find Zhang Fei, he passed five passes and killed six generals. He also took away the BMW Ziqiu, but Cao Cao did not hold a grudge against him. Instead, he issued two passes and allowed Guan Yu to pass through. At that time, Guan Yu had said that he had recorded this favor from Cao Cao, and he had never had the opportunity to repay Cao Cao since then. Now seeing Cao Cao speaking to him, Guan Yu respectfully called Cao Cao King of Wei out of etiquette.

"Chen Yun, you were looking for your brother thousands of miles away. I sent you two passes to you, and even sent Ziqiu to you. Do you remember all these?" Cao Cao was sure of seeing Guan Yu talking to him, and told him what happened in the past to see if he could persuade Guan Yu to stop interfering in the battle between the two armies today.

Guan Yu replied loudly: "The former kindness of King Wei. Guan naturally dared not forget it. However, before the two armies fought today, Guan did not dare to talk about personal affairs. He hoped that the King of Wei would forgive him. If you missed today, Guan would definitely repay the former kindness of King Wei."

Guan Yu said this, which was equivalent to cutting off Cao Cao's intention to separate Guan Yu and telling Cao Cao clearly that he would never be out of the matter today.

Seeing that he had just started his conversation, Guan Yu refused him, Cao Cao felt a little depressed. He didn't expect Guan Yu to come out at this critical moment and disrupt all his plans. But things had happened, and Cao Cao could no longer avoid it or use words to squeeze Guan Yu, leaving him out of the matter. Since Huairou's methods had lost their effect, Cao Cao no longer hesitated, waved his whip and pointed forward, and ordered the generals under his command: "Crash forward!"

After the Cao army was killed in Yan Liang and Wen Chou, they were already full of anger. After receiving Cao Cao's order, Li Jin and Yue Xi were separated from the left and right wings, while Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren formed the central army one by one and the other, and the three armies roared and rushed towards the Han army.

When it comes to fighting alone, Xu Huang may be slightly inferior to Guan Yu, but if he is commanding the battle, Xu Huang is a real famous general of the world. Seeing Cao's army pounced on three groups, Xu Huang was not afraid and shouted loudly: "Combining the formation! Fish scales fitting the yoke!" Xu Shu, not far from Xu Huang's formation, immediately commanded the Han army and Xu Huang to join together, and formed a fish scale formation on the periphery of Xu Huang's army, surrounding Xu Huang's subordinates in the formation. Xu Huang's main Han army quickly adjusted its pace and arranged it into a yoke formation, which was connected with the fish scale formation of Xu Shu's outer side, forming a large formation that looked like fish scales on the outside and like a yoke in the inside, and both offense and defense.

After the battle array was completed, Xu Huang saw that Cao's army had a short distance to reach his formation, so he quickly said to Guan Yu: "Chief Yun, you command your subordinates to arrange the front arrow formation. When the battle is in a stalemate, you will fight out from the two large formations and take Cao Cao straight!" In the relationship, Xu Huang's battle formation is not just a combination of the fish scale formation and the Hengyo formation. He even calculated the 50,000 Han troops brought by Guan Yu. The three battle formations are closely linked to each other, and each battle formation needs to be accurately grasped and controlled. Xu Huang's ability to command operations is unremarkable.

On the battlefield, any veteran with combat experience knows that his back can only be handed over to his comrades who are absolutely trusted, otherwise he will die miserably. Now, Xu Huang handed over his back and the backs of more than 100,000 Han soldiers to Guan Yu without hesitation. Xu Huang's trust in Guan Yu once again made Guan Yu feel a warm current surge in his heart. Xu Huang's words exuded absolute trust, and did not treat Guan Yu as an outsider at all, nor was there any warning. Zhang Xiu was like this, and Xu Huang was like this, which made Guan Yu, who had not clearly stated his attitude, feel extremely at ease. Putting aside his feelings for Liu Bei, in Guan Yu's opinion, being able to fight with such elite soldiers and being able to join Zhang Xiu and Xu Huang with an open-minded and generous general!

Not long after the Han army set up a battle formation, the three Cao troops came to their sight. The two armies collided fiercely, with swords against swords, spears against spears, soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals. As soon as they came into contact, they entered a white-hot stage. The soldiers on both sides did not hold back at all, and every soldier was fighting bloody battles!

The equipment and individual combat capabilities of the Cao army are their disadvantages. Compared with the excellent equipment and the fighting will and fighting skills of the soldiers, there is no army in the world that can be compared with the Han army, but the Cao army also has their advantages, that is, the number of people is nearly three times that of the Han army. Moreover, in terms of high-end combat power, the Cao army led by generals such as Xiahou Dun, Li Jin and Yue Xi is obviously slightly higher than the Han army.

So although this battle was extremely fierce, and although someone would die in every blink of an eye, no one could do anything to anyone. The Cao army could not break through the defense line of the Han army, but the Han army was unable to repel Cao army.

Cao Cao watched coldly for a long time. Suddenly, he said to Cao Chun beside him: "Take the tiger and leopard cavalry and attack the Han army's ribs. Try to open a breakthrough there!" At this moment, the troops staying beside Cao Cao were only the two elite troops of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Tiger Guard. In order to win, Cao Cao sent the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry without hesitation. After Cao Chun received Cao Cao's order, he immediately led 20,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to rush out, targeting the connection between the two major formations inside and outside the Han army, trying to cut off the connection of the Han army's combat formation here and separate the two layers of the battle formations inside and outside the Han army.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is a cavalry unit carefully built by Cao Cao. Its status in Wei State is similar to that of the Dragon Xiang Army of the Northern Han Dynasty. Whether it is war horses, equipment and military quality, it is the best in Wei State. It is the ace unit cultivated by Cao Cao spending a lot of money and hard work. At the beginning, Cao Cao wanted to imitate the Dragon Xiang Heavy Cavalry to form the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. However, Cao Cao did not have the knowledge of Ao Lie from later generations and did not know the existence of the Three Treasures of Horses. Therefore, after the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were wearing heavy armor, their war horses were often overwhelmed and could not bear their long-term battles. After several tests, Cao Cao retreated and decided to beat the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

A sub-heavyweight cavalry was still defeated in the end. The reason was still the problem of war horses. Ordinary war horses could not bear too heavy armor for long-term combat. Helplessly, Cao Cao spent a lot of money to buy a good horse. While urging his craftsmen to improve the toughness of the armor, he also found a way to reduce the weight of the armor. In the end, Cao Cao finally found a balance point and formed this elite tiger and leopard cavalry. Although the equipment and war horses of the tiger and leopard cavalry were not as good as the Dragon Horse Heavy Cavalry, their fighting will was not bad at all. Apart from the Dragon Horse Heavy Cavalry, they could be called the first cavalry at that time.

Therefore, after Cao Chun joined the battle, the Han army's rib front felt much pressure. Xu Huang quickly felt this and commanded his subordinates to shrink to the ribs in proportion, trying to slow down the pressure there. Xiahou Dun and other Cao army generals who were fighting immediately made corresponding adjustments after discovering Xu Huang's adjustment. Li Jin led the troops of the headquarters to join Cao Chun and attack the Han army's ribs. Other Cao army generals also consciously moved closer to Cao Chun's direction, gradually forming a combat policy with the tiger and leopard cavalry as the core.

After leading his troops to fight for a while, Xu Huang turned to Guan Yu and said, "Chang Yun, it's now! Please!"

Guan Yu nodded slightly, two rays of light burst out from Danfeng's eyes, waved the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and rushed forward. Liao Hua and Zhou Cang led 50,000 Han troops to follow closely, like a huge arrow, taking advantage of the moment when the Cao army's strategic center of gravity was shifting to the ribs, and they stabbed Cao Cao straight! Now beside Cao Cao, there is only a Tiger Guard composed of 20,000 elite troops guarding Cao Cao, and Yan Liang, the chief and deputy commander of the Tiger Guard, and Wen Chou, had been killed by Guan Yu, lacking unified dispatch. Guan Yu took a different approach at this time and led his troops to kill Cao Cao, but it really scared the generals of the Cao army who were fighting. If Guan Yu rushed to Cao Cao, how could Cao Cao have the life to survive?

In the battle formation of the central army of Cao's army, Cao Ren shouted: "Cao Hong, go and take over General Li Jin's position! General Li Jin, hurry back to the king of help!" Under Cao Ren's order, Li Jin hurriedly took a few horses and ran behind him with thousands of Cao troops from the headquarters, trying to get to Cao Cao's side first, while Cao Hong, with his troops, moved horizontally from the central army to the left, intending to make up for the gap left by Li Jin after he retreated.

As soon as these two teams were mobilized, the originally very smooth Cao army formation immediately caused some chaos. The offensive quietly weakened. Xu Huang had a sharp insight into this opportunity. The Tiangang Axe raised high, pointed at the chaos in the Cao army formation, and shouted loudly: "Kill!" Five thousand Han troops gathered next to Xu Huang and rushed towards the chaos brought by Cao Hong.

On the other hand, Guan Yu relied on the speed of Ziqi, and threw away the large army and drove alone to Cao Cao. The Qinglong Yanyue Sword was like the blade of the sea god cutting through the waves, breaking through the layers of protection of the Tiger Guards. After killing more than a dozen elite Tiger Guards, Guan Yu rushed to Cao Cao in the shortest time. Without waiting for Cao Cao to react, Guan Yu waved his big sword and the cold blade had already been put on Cao Cao's neck. At this time, Li Jin, who was returning to Cao Cao, had only had time to get ten steps away and was unable to stop Guan Yu's big sword. As long as Guan Yu's blade turned, Cao Cao would have his head to the ground.

Just when Li Jin was desperately about to close his eyes, he suddenly heard Guan Yu say loudly: "King of Wei, today is the time for Guan to repay the favor of King Wei. As long as the King of Wei orders the troops to retreat quickly, Guan will never make things difficult for King Wei!"

When the Qinglong Yanyue knife was put on his neck, Cao Cao was already scared and sweating. This time he was careless. He did not expect that Xu Huang had a surprise soldier hidden in the two-level formation. In addition, Yan Liang and Wen Chou's death, no one could stop Guan Yu for a moment, which led to Guan Yu controlling himself so easily. Cao Cao was already ready to die. Even if he died, he did not want to lose the dignity of the King of Wei. Unexpectedly, Guan Yu said such words. It was obvious that Guan Yu was repaying his kindness.

Suppressing the panic in his heart, Cao Cao glanced at Guan Yu deeply and exclaimed sincerely: "Yun Chang is a true righteous man! Well, I will follow your words. Let's stop the army today." After that, Cao Cao waved to Cao Ren and others, summoning all the troops back.

Guan Yu took back his sword, clasped his fists to Cao Cao and said, "Guan offended him. Guan has repaid his kindness to Guan today. See you next day. You and I are enemies, not friends, and there will be a date later!" Then, without waiting for Cao Cao to answer, Guan Yu rode his horse into the Han army formation where Liao Hua and Zhou Cang came to pick him up. Under the escort of 50,000 Han troops, he slowly retreated into Xu Huang's formation.

When Guan Yu retreated to the formation, Xu Huang said to Guan Yu with a smile: "Chang Yun, it's thanks to you today's battle. I will write your credit successfully to the King of Yan later."

Guan Yu shook his head and said, "Gongming, Guan doesn't have any credit, he only asks for one thing. Please ask Guan in Gongming to convey to King Yan. On the day of breaking Chengdu, please ask King Yan to give up his hand and let Guan's elder brother go. Guan is very grateful. As for Guan himself, he will stay here forever. Whether to kill or cut it depends on the ruling of King Yan!" In Guan Yu's heart, his contribution to this battle was not great. He either fought for a way out for Liu Bei or repay Ao Lie for his grace of not killing. He could only choose one of the two. Obviously, Guan Yu chose the former.

Xu Huang looked at Guan Yu's firm expression and sighed softly: "Yun Chang is a true righteous man, so magnificent!"
