More than ten thousand cavalrymen ran at full speed and soon arrived at a mountain, forest and valley.
After arriving here, Xu Huang reined in his horse and looked at the deep, dark valley in front of him, worry rising in his heart unconsciously.
The name of this place is Yuling, which is a necessary place outside Fancheng to connect the north and the south.
Ulleung is actually a hill, but the topography of this hill is peculiar. The mountain seems to have been split in half by a sword from some god.
Therefore, a passage was formed in the mountain of Ulleung.
This is a natural place for setting up an ambush.
Xu Huang is a famous general. After setting up the plan to attack the east and attack the west, he secretly went out of the camp to observe the terrain here.
And that day, he specially left a small group of soldiers and horses here to observe whether Guan Yu had set up an ambush here.
At this time, Xu Huang ordered people to find the people in the team.
And the people who went to search for it finally brought back the news that,
There was no ambush in Yuling.
After hearing the news, Xu Huang felt relieved.
Without further ado, after learning that there was no ambush in Yuling, Xu Huang hurriedly ordered his cavalry to pass through the dangerous area ahead.
Under Xu Huang's desperation, the more than ten thousand cavalry behind him quickly passed through Yuling in a short time.
Seeing that all the athletes under his command were safe and sound, Xu Huangyu couldn't help but burst out laughing immediately after passing Yuling.
The last big stone in his heart finally fell.
The deputy general Xu Shang who was following him saw Xu Huang suddenly laughing and asked,
"Why is the general laughing?"
Xu Shang was his confidant, and Xu Huang wanted to teach him. He pointed to the Yuling Mountains behind him and replied,
"I laugh at Guan Yunchang's lack of plans. I will defeat him tonight!"
Seeing a puzzled look on Xu Shang's face, Xu Huang continued,
"Whenever cavalry and infantry are fighting, if they encounter mountains, forests, dangerous obstacles, or swampy areas, and move quickly, they will be defeated. Do not fight."
"Those who wish to fight must find an easy ground, where there is no hindrance to advance or retreat, and the battle will be won."
"Therefore, the Art of War says: When changing places, use cavalry."
"There is such a dangerous place outside Fan City today, but Guan Yunchang left it undefended, allowing my cavalry to pass through.
From now on, the cavalry under my command no longer have any fear. How can Guan Yunchang remain undefeated? "
What Xu Huang said was not a lie. After passing through Yuling, there was a wide plain area waiting for Xu Huang ahead.
This can at least ensure that he will be able to survive the next night attack.
Move forward and retreat freely.
Seeing that there was no need to worry about his future, the last trace of hesitation in Xu Huang's heart was gone.
He led more than 10,000 cavalry who were ready to go and rushed towards Sizhongtun not far away.
What Xu Huang didn't know was that shortly after his army left Ulleung,
On the other side of Yuling, thousands of troops gradually appeared.
...
When he was about to arrive at Sizhongtun, Xu Huang no longer had to worry about the whereabouts of his army being known.
On the contrary, at this time, he had to not cover up his whereabouts.
Xu Huang ordered the army behind him to light the torches in their hands, and all the men and horses removed their restraints.
Suddenly, a few miles away from Sizhongtun, a long fire dragon appeared out of thin air on the ground.
At the same time, the roar of more than 10,000 horses and the shouts of more than 10,000 athletes also rose into the sky.
Guan Yu's sentries outside Sizhongtun immediately detected the situation, and they immediately rang the golden bells on the watchtower.
Not long after, golden bells rang loudly in Sizhong Tuen.
The word "enemy attack" that the sentry yelled at the top of his lungs was immediately buried in the sound of golden bells that filled the sky.
Seeing this scene, Xu Huang felt even more happy.
He felt that everything was developing according to his vision step by step.
What he brought this time was all cavalry. It was certainly not appropriate to rely on cavalry to attack a strong camp.
What he really wanted was to cause panic in Sizhong Village and make them ask Guan Yu for help.
This is Xu Huang's real purpose.
Just when Xu Huang led more than 10,000 cavalry troops to get closer and closer to Sizhong Tun, so close that he even ordered the cavalry troops behind him to shoot arrows, a huge change suddenly happened!
I saw that after the golden bell rang loudly in Sizhong Tun, there was no panic and noise in the camp as Xu Huang expected. Instead, it was quiet and tight.
Then I saw a fire light up in Sizhong Tun. After a while, tens of thousands of torches quickly lit up in Sizhong Tun.
These tens of thousands of torches contrast with the tens of thousands of torches in the hands of Xu Huang's army not far outside the village.
The dark sky at this moment was illuminated like daylight.
Seeing this scene, Xu Huang was horrified.
What frightened Xu Huang even more was that after the torches were lit, the gate of Sizhong Tuen opened wide, and groups of infantry who had been waiting for them ran out from it.
Under the command of the general behind them, they were seen forming a neat military formation, holding sharp spears and stepping out of the camp gate. Then, after they arrived not far from the camp gate,
They all knocked their shields on the ground and shouted in unison,
"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!"
The sound of thousands of shields hitting the ground, coupled with the roar of tens of thousands of elite soldiers,
These two voices are intertwined,
Shattered the dark clouds in the sky,
It also resounded throughout the sky!
These tens of thousands of soldiers are the most elite troops under Guan Yu.
In the past few months, Guan Yu relied on them to defeat Cao Ren, Lu Chang, Yu Jin, Pang De and other famous Cao Wei generals.
It was with them that Guan Yu was able to continuously eliminate nearly 100,000 Cao Wei's field troops in half a year!
Now is the peak moment for these more than 10,000 Jingzhou soldiers.
These tens of thousands of Jingzhou soldiers are standing still, waiting for the enemies ahead to come.
The unparalleled momentum of the cavalry's roaring tigers frightened the Jiangdong infantry, but it did not scare them commanded by Guan Yu.
It's not like they have never done it before, they have done it frequently in the past six months.
When these elite soldiers who had experienced many battles and were full of morale were in formation, waiting for Xu Huang's army to collide, Xu Huang ordered the soldiers behind him to quickly stop the attacking formation.
Under Xu Huang's desperation, although these more than ten thousand cavalry stopped advancing,
However, due to inertia, the formation of more than 10,000 cavalry was in chaos.
There were even many cavalrymen who couldn't help but fall off their horses.
The reason why Xu Huang suddenly ordered the army behind him to stop was because the scene in front of him made him realize,
Guan Yu didn't fall into the trap!
Even Guan Yu may be at the camp gate in front of him.
Among the famous generals under Liu Bei, Zhang Fei was good at riding, Guan Yu was good at walking, and
Only Guan Yu dared to order his soldiers to come out of the camp and take the initiative to form a formation to greet the cavalry.
After Xu Huang's army stopped charging, more than 10,000 Han troops in front of the camp gate automatically separated into a passage.
Covered in golden armor and wearing a soaring battle crown on his head, a knight as heroic as a god was slowly appearing in front of Xu Huang from the passage.
This person is not Guan Yu, who else could he be?
Guan Yu drove the big red war horse to the front of the two armies.
The tip of the long knife in his hand even touched the ground. As Guan Yu advanced, the tip of the big knife made an unfathomable crack on the ground.
At this moment, Guan Yu's huge aura was fully activated.
When he came ten steps away from Xu Huang's army, Guan Yu took the initiative to stop his horse's hooves.
As Guan Yu stood firm, many people in the army behind Xu Huang also recognized this famous general.
Under the influence of Guan Yu's momentum that one man can defeat Guan and ten thousand others,
Under the fear of Guan Yu in everyone's hearts,
The horses under the tens of thousands of cavalrymen were obviously restless.
They kept slapping their noses, their horses' hooves kept scratching on the ground, and they retreated step by step.
Not only the war horses of more than 10,000 troops behind Xu Huang were like this, but also the horses under Xu Huang's crotch.
No matter how Xu Huang and the cavalry behind him tried to calm the horses, it was all in vain.
Animals are sometimes more psychic than people.
One man, one horse, one sword, standing upright just a stone's throw away from Xu Huang's army.
But it seemed that it was not Guan Yu who was afraid, but the more than ten thousand cavalrymen behind Xu Huang.
"Gongming, if you attack the enemy, you must save it. Wait for work at ease. You have a good plan."
"In this way, you can be my friend Guan Yunchang."
Guan Yu, who feared tens of thousands of cavalry troops, took the initiative to greet his childhood friend before and after he came to the formation of the two armies.
After Xu Huang heard Guan Yu's words, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"Even though I made all kinds of plans, I didn't expect that it would all come to nothing in the end."
"After all, Yun Chang, you are the better one."
Facing Xu Huang's self-deprecation, Guan Yu said calmly,
"Otherwise, if my master hadn't been clever, I would have fallen into your trap."
Hearing Guan Yu say that it was his chief clerk who really saw through his scheme, Xu Huang couldn't help but curiously said,
"Who is the chief registrant of Yunchang?"
Guan Yu thought of the young man who had saved him from danger many times, and a longing smile appeared on his face.
"My son and nephew, Mi Yang."
Xu Huang secretly wrote down this person's name, then he looked at Guan Yu and said,
"Yun Chang, since you have seen through my plan, let's fight openly and honestly."
Faced with Xu Huang's invitation to fight, Guan Yu advised,
"Gongming, surrender, let's fight head-on.
You are no match for me. "
There was no hint of pride in Guan Yu's words, but a frank tone.
Because in his own opinion, what he said was true.
But Xu Huang was also a famous general for a while. Even if he knew that what Guan Yu said was true, how could he accept the shame of surrendering without a fight.
Moreover, in his opinion, he has no chance of winning when riding against foot.
Xu Huang did not answer, but immediately ordered the soldiers behind him to attack.
Just now, Xu Huang was still chatting with Guan Yu. Now, before Guan Yu could return to the formation, he immediately ordered the cavalry behind him to attack.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is really an act without martial virtue, but soldiers never tire of deceit, and this has been true since ancient times.
Xu Huang gave an order, and the cavalry behind him immediately drove their horses forward and killed Guan Yu and the infantry behind him.
There were also some cavalry who dispersed their formation, wandered around and fired arrows to disrupt the formation of Guan Yu's infantry.
Facing the incoming arrows, Liao Hua behind Guan Yu shouted loudly for Guan Yu to rush into the battle, but unexpectedly Guan Yu burst out laughing after hearing this.
"Compared with the arrows of the white horse back then, today's arrows are so rare."
"Even if thousands of arrows are fired, how can Guan retreat?"
After finishing speaking, Guan Yu drove the war horse under his crotch, not retreating but advancing, so as not to raise his whip.
He waved a broadsword and galloped towards the charging enemy.
When Guan Yu first entered the enemy formation, dozens of cavalrymen attacked with guns.
But Guan Yu was not afraid at all. He raised his sword and swept towards the dozens of attacking enemy troops with great force.
Before these dozens of enemy soldiers could react, they were all knocked off their horses by Guan Yu, and fell to the ground not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
After killing these dozen enemy soldiers, Guan Yu moved towards an enemy general and killed him.
Guan Yu drove his horse very fast, but after a while, the enemy general was killed by Guan Yu's sword.
Then Guan Yu drove his horse to attack left and right in the enemy formation. Wherever he went, people would be turned upside down.
Whenever the enemy was about to encircle him, Guan Yu would promptly jump out of the enemy's formation on his steed, and then drive his horse into the formation again.
Guan Yu entered the enemy's formation three times, and each time he entered, he would kill several enemy generals.
What does it mean to be an enemy of ten thousand people? Guan Yun is long.
Guan Yunchang is not only an enemy of thousands of people, he also has extraordinary handsomeness.
He knew that infantry was inherently weak against cavalry, and Xu Huang used cavalry tactics to run around and shoot arrows to disrupt the formation of the infantry behind him.
The purpose is to undermine their morale.
Therefore, if he wants to defeat the enemy, the first thing Guan Yu must do is to improve his own morale.
That's why he took the initiative to rush into battle.
Of course, this also includes the reason why he is extremely confident in himself.
Sure enough, under Guan Yu's unstoppable charge, the enemy's morale was almost visibly declining.
When our own infantry saw the god-like fighting posture of their coach Guan Yu, they
The morale is simply rising by leaps and bounds.
"Long live! Long live!"
More than 10,000 soldiers on Guan Yu's side shouted "long live" in unison, and the more than 10,000 shouts were like the drums of heavenly soldiers and generals.
The morale gap between the enemy and ourselves is constantly widening.
Seeing that the time was right, Guan Yu jumped out of the enemy's formation in time.
With his extraordinary battlefield command skills, he knew that now was the time for his side to attack.
Guan Yu jumped out of the enemy's formation, raised his sword high, and then swung it towards the enemy.
Behind him, more than ten thousand elite soldiers, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, immediately started to move forward.
Before that, Guan Yu ordered his soldiers to cut down trees and make simple antlers.
At this time, under the command of Guan Yu, these more than 10,000 elite soldiers each held a deer antler and formed an antler formation.
After the antlers were arrayed, the formation of Guan Yu's soldiers, protected by shields and antlers, seemed to have turned into a mobile camp.
They moved forward slowly, toward the enemy in front,
Killing step by step, slowly, but unswervingly.
A strong general has no weak soldiers!
This is the deer antler formation that Guan Yu specially developed to restrain the northern cavalry.
When the cavalry under Xu Huang saw Guan Yu's soldiers forming a large formation like a turtle shell and taking the initiative to move towards them,
They were afraid that the horses under their crotches would be injured by the antlers and spears in the antlers array.
Therefore, they could only ride their horses around the antlers and pass by.
And this scene played right into Guan Yu's heart.
As the cavalry under Xu Huang rode around the stronghold, thousands of arrows suddenly shot out from the antlers array, and the loss was enough to cover the moon!
Then the arrow disappeared and quickly headed towards the cavalry under Xu Huang's command.
In an instant, Xu Huang was caught off guard and more than ten thousand cavalry troops suffered heavy casualties.
Fallen bodies nearly blocked the road.
Seeing this scene, Xu Huang's teeth were about to burst.
But just when Xu Huang was ready to retreat, Xu Shang beside him suddenly exclaimed to him,
"General! General!"
"The camp beacon is lit!"
Hearing the news, Xu Huang almost fell off his horse.
