Chapter 147
Xing Daorong was in front of the two armies and had a good time. The camp gate opposite suddenly opened. Hundreds of soldiers took swords and shields first, and strong crossbows pressed the formation, and geese were arranged in a shape.
The middle general was too lazy to see him, and he didn't even bother to talk to him, so he came straight to ride a horse with his sword.
Xing Daorong was so excited that Zheng Shuang suddenly felt excited all over, and she was alert with her hands, realizing that it was Guan Yu.
He quickly followed Zhang Xian's instructions before the war and slapped the enemy's anger: "Is it Guan Yu? I have a word. As the prefect of Hanzhong, you dare to prosper the nameless army to invade my Jingzhou..."
Unfortunately, Guan Yu had no intention of paying attention to him at all. He rode his horse closer and closer, and seemed to be preparing to kill him directly if he was not known. Xing Daorong was shocked when he saw this.
Although Xing Daorong was arrogant, he was not stupid. The scolding just now was just a conventional tactic to incite the opponent to fight, so as to avoid the unfavorable bonus of allowing Zhang Xianjun to directly attack the strong camp.
Real war is not a game of fighting the Three Kingdoms. The single fight of generals cannot determine the outcome of the war. At best, it only makes the morale of the failed and killed party blew away, and the command became disconnected.
So in many cases, single-handed fights are just means, and the rational side does not want to give up the rap before single-handed fights and damage the other party's morale.
In this battle, the Jingnan Alliance Army was to protect the territory and safeguard the people, and Guan Yu crossed the border to grab territory. On the surface, it was reasonable and the Jingnan Army who was at risk.
Damn, Guan Yu doesn’t even give anyone a chance to finish his lines!
Seeing that the other party was only fifty or sixty steps away from him, Xing Daorong knew that the hero would not suffer any loss in front of him, so he immediately ran away, while he turned his head and looked back to see the distance between the two sides.
Seeing that Xing Daorong was speaking ruthlessly at the beginning, the Jingnan coalition forces were very disgusted, and when Guan Yu really came out, he turned around and ran away, he couldn't help but feel a little contempt and his morale was slightly frustrated.
Fortunately, Xing Daorong was wise in a hurry. Seeing that the distance was getting closer, he cruelly threw away the axe and reduced the burden. He ran and scolded and ran: "Guan Yu and Rats! I'm not afraid of you. The two armies are fighting, and righteousness comes first. You dare not answer my questions. Could it be that they are guilty of treason!
I, Xing Daorong, is the first priority. If you are guilty and are afraid that I will expose Liu Bei's plot, you will kill me. I will not fight you, and you are just a despicable coward who kills unarmed people to silence you! But can you block the world's widespread?"
These words were extremely fast, and Guan Yu was less than twenty steps away from him when he finished speaking.
But this dangerous blow-out slap in the arms is indeed more useful than relying on martial arts to resist.
Guan Yu was arrogant and could not bear the stigma of "being indecent and eager to silence an unarmed person". The soldiers of both armies could hear these words clearly. Even if Xing Daorong was killed in seconds, he could not afford to lose this person.
It will take a few minutes to let the other party say it clearly and then kill it.
For a moment, Guan Yu was so angry that he laughed and temporarily withdrew his sword and returned his horse: "How could Fan Kuai slaughter a porpoise dog? You are worthy of it? You must distinguish right from wrong and let Zhang Xian get out and answer me!"
Guan Yu's words were not roaring, but a stern tone, but not to mention that it spread far on this battlefield, the soldiers in the front row could hear it clearly. It was probably because of the dantian energy, and the qi was very strong in their speech.
He compared Xing Daorong to a pig or dog, and suddenly robbed the moral commanding heights that had been "disdainful of paying attention to the other party".
If a dog bites a person, can't the person bite it back? Of course, it took a second with one knife.
Zhang Xian’s martial arts is not good, so of course he didn’t dare to come forward. He just asked layers of guards to raise shields and gun arrays to protect him, and then shouted at the top of his voice, allowing Xing Daorong, who was even louder, to pass the message.
Zhang Xian: "Guan Yu! As the prefect of Hanzhong, Xing Wuming's army invaded our borders. Isn't it a rebellion that is not the court's treason!"
When Guan Yu answered, he did not look at the second setter Xing Daorong, but towards Zhang Xian's flag formation: "I and I, the prefect of Ba County, join forces to fight against Dong, respond to the Guandong righteous man, what is the nameless!"
Zhang Xian: "A joke! Who doesn't know that Liu Bei is using the name of seeking Dong to separatist prefectures and counties. You are far away in Bashu. Why don't you go to Guanzhong and Jingzhou? Could it be that from here to Luoyang, you will be able to occupy the prefectures and counties that pass by north! Such a rebellious minister is even more serious than Dong Zhuo! As the imperial court and I appointed the prefect, I have the responsibility of protecting the territory and safeguarding the people, and we will definitely fight to the end!"
Guan Yu: "The Shu road is difficult, and it is not easy for Qinchuan to transport grain. Of course, we have to go down the Yangtze River! We went north to all counties to fight Dong Youjun, and our army would definitely not be invaded! Why do we have to use weapons in Yidu and Wuling? Do you know what we have to do in Yidu? If you are willing to let our army enter the city to rest and provide military rations like the prefect of Jiangxia borrowed food for Sun Polu? Why did you give us food to rest?
It can be seen that you are the remnants of Dong Zhuo! What's more, it is your boss, Jing Shenggong, the governor of Jingzhou. You not only help Dong, but also neglect the orders of the superiors, and the envoy of the Southern County, Jing Shenggong was not allowed to take office. Rebel! What else can you say!"
Zhang Xian was slightly shocked when he heard this, because the cooperation between Guan Yu and Liu Biao was still in the conspiracy stage, so of course, those enemies of Liu Biao would not know.
The reason why Zhang Xian talked to Guan Yu to improve his morale and attacked Guan Yu was because he was sure that he could take the right path.
But if Liu Biao's uncertainty is dragged in, this invisible morale blow will be reversed directly.
In 190, the "fight between good and bad, the title of righteousness" was still very valuable, and it also greatly increased the combat effectiveness of the troops. Now, before the soldiers were too arrogant to the court, if they learned that they were a traitor, at least several soldiers would hesitate and not work hard.
Zhang Xian quickly became wise and wanted to stop the loss: "Nonsense! We respect Liu Envoy very much. He was obstructed by Yuan Shu and could not take office. Moreover, Liu Envoy was ordered by Dong Zhuo, so how could he participate in the bidding of Dong! Don't listen to Guan Yu. They are in Sichuan, how could they know this? These are all his nonsense! Xing Daorong will kill this guy with me!"
Since it is not good for us to talk to the point of being raving, then we will not ramble and use force directly!
Unfortunately, Xing Daorong didn't even pick up the big axe, how could he dare to take action for a while?
Guan Yu refused to stop. He waved his hand leisurely, and an envoy surrounded the camp behind him. Guan Yu pointed at the Qinglong Sword from a distance and introduced loudly:
"Listen to the other side: This is a fellow villager of Duke Jingsheng. I am not a member of the Jingzhou area. I am now the special envoy of Duke Jingsheng to ask our army for help to suppress the rebellion. Is our army invited by Duke Jingsheng to pass through the border? It is clear whether the right and wrong of the right and wrong!"
Yi Ji was Liu Biao's fellow townsman, both from Shanyang County, Yanzhou. He followed Liu Biao to take office. Therefore, he was regarded as a different commander, responsible for contacting the outside world. It was like the history of Mi Zhu to Tao Qian and Zhang Song to Liu Zhang.
This time, the secret transaction with Liu Bei's army asked Guan Yu to help eliminate the sect thieves in exchange for Liu Biao to take office successfully. It was Yiji who came to negotiate.
At this moment, being released as a secret killer weapon, Yi Ji of course also had to sell his strength, proved his identity in front of the two armies, and supported Guan Yu's side with Liu Biao's position.
Zhang Xian was indescribable: he had already gathered four or five times the force to encircle Guan Yu, but he didn't expect that he would give him a counterproductive effect. At this moment, at least several more soldiers would wait and see at both ends of the head. Guan Yu was hiding so deeply!
Seeing that Zhang Xianjun was already a little unconfrontational, Guan Yu deliberately made a flaw and turned around contemptuously, giving Xing Daorong a chance to pick up the axe. When passing by the axe, Guan Yu glanced at him:
"Don't worry, I don't kill the unarmed dog - this axe is not as good as Pan Feng's. With such martial arts, kill Ruwu Knife."
Xing Daorong and Guan Yu retreated far away, and then they dared to come forward and pick up the axe. However, when he was disturbed by such a farce, he had no shame to challenge him again, so he had to look at Zhang Xian awkwardly for advice.
"Step the camp directly! Don't ramble with them again!" Zhang Xian was also afraid that any more attacks would occur and that he would weaken his morale. He was extremely corrupt and demanded that the entire army be directly suppressed.
Xing Daorong breathed a sigh of relief and chose to lead his troops directly to the formation.
However, since Guan Yu was here to lure the enemy to attack the door with leisure, he must have made arrangements.
If you want to say that Guan Yu is a man who is in charge of the army and camping, it is very well organized. Although the rules of Yishui Village at this moment are not as rigorous as those when the seven armies were flooded in later generations, they are also heavy in the antlers on both sides and alternate pitfalls.
What Guan Yu pursued was not a comprehensive defense, but to eliminate the idea of the enemy attacking from both wings. He only set up pits and antlers on the passages leading to the camps, and to guide the enemy to attack this path only.
In this way, the disadvantage of fewer people on the defense side is not easy to reflect. Because the width of the front of the battle was limited to death, the two armies only had this front of a hundred steps wide to be soldier. The more people, the side could not rush up to surround, and the siege and battle were turned into a wheel battle, allowing the more elite troops to leverage the advantages of individual soldiers' qualities.
The Danyang soldiers lined up to guard the camp and left enough reserves to defend and counterattack. This was a tactic that Guan Yu had used so well that he could not be more familiar with for several years.
"Kill!" Xing Daorong indeed led thousands of vanguards of Zhang Xian's army to the front of Guan Yu's army camp. The first ones were mainly sword and shield soldiers, and it seemed that there were Danyang soldiers in the formation as the backbone.
This is not surprising, because just before Guan Yu recruited Danyang soldiers to suppress the thieves, the previous general who recruited Danyang soldiers was Sun Jian who pacified the District Xing Rebellion. After Sun Jian defeated District Xing, there must be a few captured or fled Danyang soldiers who were trapped in the warlords of the other three counties of Jingnan.
Therefore, there are still about one or two thousand Danyang soldiers in Zhang Xian's army, which are the core backbone of the sword and shield troops, and the rest are Lingling and Guiyang locals.
The reason why they put swords and shields first is that they are afraid that the spearmen will lack shields and will easily be suppressed by crossbow formations during the process of receiving the enemy. However, the soldiers holding shields with one hand and spears with one hand are covered by arrows, but their speed will be very slow and they cannot run. They will only be shot more wheels before receiving the enemy.
It is impossible to run with a spear in one hand because it cannot maintain the stability of the gun rod. It is easy to trip up a dense array of arrays and form a large-scale self-trampling. Therefore, when a spearmen hold the shield, they must advance slowly. To run quickly, they must abandon the shield. It is impossible to achieve both.
In contrast, the quick charge of the sword and shield soldiers is the best choice to entangle the enemy's front row and stop shooting arrows.
As the defensive camp, Guan Yu could allow Xu Huang to form a dense array with his guns and shield soldiers, and there were thousands of crossbows behind him to press the formation.
Anyway, Xu Huang doesn't have to worry about mobility issues. They just need to output on stand-up positions. The long spear can be farther and the dense array defense has great advantages. Zhou Tai and Gan Ning are all generals who are better at traditional tactics of Danyang soldiers such as sword and shield melee combat, making them better as reserves in the chasing and counterattack stage.
However, Xu Huang himself was still standing with axe and looked at the waves of swords and shields in front of Xing Daorong and was swept over by the crossbow. When the two armies were approaching the distance between hand-to-hand combat, Xu Huang rode his horse out and slashed out with the sound of wind.
The soldiers of the two armies then strangled into a group and flew with flesh and blood in front of the camp.
"Sister Xing Daorong, you are also worthy of using an axe."
Xing Daorong was alert in his heart, and there was a loud "clang" sound, and the two axes intersected, and Xing Daorong shook slightly.
He is worthy of being a general in the original work who can fight with Zhang Fei for three or five, and he can only be captured under the wheel battle between Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. To be honest, there is still a military force worth more than 80.
Guan Yu disdains to kill him, so it is normal for Xu Huang to fight him.
The two of them had a great battle axe and were in a strong momentum. When they swung, they could often sweep the enemy soldiers who were beating up in two sections. For a moment, a piece of open space about a meter in diameter was empty around them. The soldiers next to them did not dare to squeeze in this direction, for fear of being affected by the fish in the pond.
The corpse of the broken limbs and broken arms was quickly left next to him. The two of them could no longer fight on the horse. They both rolled off the horse and fought in stairs. After shouting for more than twenty axes, Xing Daorong's axe technique finally gradually dissipated, and his arms were shocked to death. The continuous heavy weapons were hit hard, which was too heart-wrenching.
Xing Daorong tried his best to slash an axe. Xu Guangyan Ming was quick and did not fight hard with him. Instead, he put his battle axe handle on the ground, held it with one hand close to the axe blade, blocked it diagonally, and flashed to the side.
"Kala——" Xing Daorong's big axe hit the handle of the axe and slipped along with the trend. Xu Huang exerted force again. Xing Daorong used too much force and did not continue his strength, so he had lost his center of gravity and rushed forward slightly.
But Xu Huang's battle axe handle could not withstand the continuous slamming and slashing, and the hitting place broke. Xu Huang took the axe with only half of the axe handle, and turned around the axe, and Xing Daorong's back with a whirlwind turned around, which was in the middle of the center. Unfortunately, because the axe handle was broken, it was not easy to sweep it, and the inertia was not enough to exert enough force, so he did not cut the iron armor.
But even so, the axe of this weight hit the back heart protection mirror, which still caused Xing Daorong's internal organs to be damaged, and he screamed like a cow's howling and blew blood.
The soldiers next to him saw that Xu Huang's axe handle was broken and his range of attack was greatly reduced. They were not so afraid of him for a while. They waved their swords and rushed over to try to save Xing Daorong, who was unknown to life and death.
Xu Huang was not interested in fighting, and he took half an axe and jumped back to his own formation, killing the enemy side by side with his soldiers. The Han army stabbed the enemy's rear army in a row. When the melee stopped for a while, he found that Xing Daorong, who had been hit by an axe, had been trampled to death by the two armies.
