Knowing that Zhang Xiu personally led his troops out of the city, Liu Bei decisively decided to attack.
Moreover, Liu Bei had already made sufficient preparations for the arrival of this day, and made detailed battle plans with Chen Gong, Kuai Yue, and Chen Deng.
Immediately, Liu Bei ordered Zhang Fei, Zang Ba, and Kuai Yue to lead an army of 50,000 people up the Han River and march directly to Hanzhong. After capturing Hanzhong, they guarded the gates of Shuzhong to prevent soldiers and horses from rushing to reinforcements. Because the 30,000 infantrymen in Hanzhong were transferred away by Chang'an, they were absolutely empty at the moment. Zhang Fei would definitely be able to capture them easily if he left.
Then Zhao Yun, Xu Sheng, and Chen Deng were ordered to lead an army of 50,000 people to go north to capture Wuguan Road.
Wuguandao can win the victory related to this battle. If Wuguandao can be captured, the army can directly attack Chang'an City. All the soldiers and horses of the Jing army were dispersed to the border, and Chang'an was empty. If they could enter, they would definitely conquer it. In order to quickly capture Wuguan Road, Liu Bei spent a lot of money to develop a trebuchet and a heavy ballista. Coupled with Zhao Yun, Xu Sheng's courage, and Chen Deng's strategy, capturing Wuguan Road should not be a problem.
Liu Bei personally led Wenpin, Guan Yu, Chen Gong and other generals and led an army of 70,000 to the north to Duyang City.
Zhang Xiu has gone out, so don't think about coming back!
There is Wei Jun outside and Liu Bei inside. This battle will definitely destroy Zhang Xiu's Dajing, and make Zhang Xiu live or die!
As Liu Bei's military order was issued, the three armies launched.
Guan Yu was specially ordered by Liu Bei to be the vanguard force to attack the Jingjun navy first. Unless Jingjun's navy is defeated, they will not be able to go north to Nanyang.
Ding Feng and Chen Wu had long been on guard against Liu Chu.
As soon as they set off, they saw the faint flags and flags on the other side of the river, and the heavy swords and halberds, and all their whereabouts were exposed. Ding Feng and Chen Wu responded quickly. Chen Wu first ordered Ding Feng to dispatch warships to fight the Chu army, and then ordered the messengers to go to Wuguan, Duyang City, and Chang'an to deliver the battle report.
Ding Feng took a warship and faced Guan Yu.
Guan Yu stood proudly on the bow of the ship with a sword in one hand, his eyes half-opened, looking coldly and contemptuously at the approaching General Jingguo from the opposite side. In Guan Yu's opinion, there were only three military generals in Jingguo who could compete with him. Of course, Ding Feng would not take him seriously.
Ding Feng stood on the bow of the ship, staring at Guan Yu without any fear, and asked: "Is this general Guan Yu?"
Guan Yu sneered: "Now that you know my name, do you dare to surrender early?"
Ding Feng sneered: "I came here to capture you!"
After saying this, after the two ships approached, Ding Feng jumped into the Chu army's warship with his sword and killed Guan Yu with his sword. The Jing troops on the warship also followed Ding Feng into the enemy warship, and the war broke out instantly.
Guan Yu stood tall and motionless. When Ding Feng came to kill him with his sword, Guan Yu waved his sword to fight. It is in line with the saying: as motionless as a mountain, as moving as thunder.
Ding Feng struck hard with his sword. Guan Yu shook from bottom to top, breaking Ding Feng's attack. Immediately, Guan Yu's blade changed from picking to cutting, and sliced towards Ding Feng's neck. Ding Feng was not a vegetarian either. He dodged the knife with a flash of his head, and immediately took out the knife and thrust it towards Guan Yu's heart.
"Aha!"
Guan Yu roared fiercely, and the Qinglong Yanyue Sword shook in the air, and struck Ding Feng as fast as lightning.
This knife was fierce and sharp.
Before the blade could strike down, Ding Feng's neck felt cold due to the sharp wind. He had to withdraw the extended knife and hurriedly stepped forward to block it.
"clang!"
"puff!"
Two voices sounded at the same time.
The Qinglong Yanyue Sword chopped off half of Ding Feng's left arm. When the knife struck down, the fierce force instantly made Ding Feng's arms numb and his mouth cracked. At the same time, he also expected that he could not resist it. At the critical moment, he The blade of the knife moved slightly to release the power of the knife, but the speed was slower and half of the left arm was cut off.
Fortunately, only the skin and flesh were removed and the bones were not damaged.
The sword missed, Guan Yu also marveled at Ding Feng's quick reaction, and then swung his sword to kill again. Ding Feng's personal guards rushed to the rescue. More than a dozen personal guards fought with Guan Yu. Guan Yu's personal guards also rushed up to fight with him. Ding Feng was dragged back to the warship by several personal guards.
Guan Yu shouted: "The whole army attacks!"
Suddenly, all the Chu warships attacked the Jingjun warships, and thousands of arrows and crossbows were fired.
The Jing army failed in the first battle and quickly retreated until it forced the navy into the navy stronghold. Guan Yu did not charge into the water stronghold, but ordered the army to reach the shore, and then welcomed the rear troops to cross the shore.
Chen Wu saw that Ding Feng was injured, but they were no match for Guan Yu, but he couldn't just watch them land. At least he couldn't let them land so smoothly, leaving enough time for Chang'an and Duyang City to react.
Chen Wu said decisively: "If the country is in trouble, we will die! The emperor has treated us with great kindness, and we should repay him with our lives. Chengyuan, you stay here to recover while I go to fight Guan Yu."
Ding Fengneng stared: "Is this a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? I am willing to repay the emperor's kindness with my life!"
"Okay!" Chen Wu laughed, "In that case, let's fight Guan Yu together! But Guan Yu is very powerful, so we can't fight in close combat, so we will use the building's heavy crossbow to block them."
Ding Feng nodded.
As a result, the entrance to the water army's Dazhai was opened, and five huge three-story ships slowly drove out of the water village. On the three-story ships, there was a fixed Kecheng heavy crossbow on the front and rear bows, and on the left and right sides. Wutai.
Ding Feng and Chen Wu commanded the building ships to kill Guan Yu's warship.
Below the building boat are hundreds of sterns and large boats protecting the building boat. This is the strength of the navy that Zhang Xiu has developed in the past few years since he developed it. These are Ding Feng and Chen Wu's precious little things, and they are reluctant to move them unless they have to.
Now that Liu Chu's army was too threatening, and Zhang Xiu went out to kill Cao Jun, they had no choice but to use their wealth to fight Liu Chu.
Seeing the enemy's buildings and ships dispatched, Guan Yu immediately ordered the army to kill them.
Both sides approach.
Chen Wu stood on the opposite top floor of the building ship and looked at the top floor of the Chu army's building ship. Although they are both large ships, Jingjun's large ship is larger and taller. From a distance, it is impossible to tell which one is bigger and which one is smaller. However, when the two get closer, one can tell whether they are superior or inferior.
In order to build the big ship, Zhang Xiu spent a lot of money.
Three shipyards were built alone, and no expense was spared to hire skilled craftsmen. The purpose was to build an enhanced ship that would break through previous shipbuilding ships. It would have a larger draft, more weapons and equipment, and a higher floor than the previous shipbuilding ships. Building boat.
This is one of the reasons why Zhang Xiu dared to personally lead his army out of Duyang City. With such a naval force intercepting the Han River, no matter how powerful Liu Chu was, he would never be able to go north in a short time. As long as the navy could fight for ten days, Zhang Xiu could Xiu can kill Cao Cao outside.
When the ships on both sides were less than a hundred steps apart, Guan Yu raised his head in surprise. Because he couldn't see the top of the building opposite without looking up. There was a height difference of more than ten feet between the two sides of the building ship, and the building ship on the opposite side was wider than theirs, and there were more crossbowmen and soldiers on it.
Seeing the gap between the two sides, Guan Yu's arrogant face finally darkened.
The other party was condescending, and there were many swarms around for cover. Compared with his own side, he looked weak.
