Chapter 31

10 miles north of Runan City, Liu Bei and Guan Yu led 15,000 troops from Chen's army to form a formation and quietly waited for Cao's army to come.

"Second brother! Are Zilong and Yuan Jian ready?" Liu Bei asked Guan Yu calmly without any nervousness before the war.

Guan Yu held the Qinglong sword in his right hand, gently stroked his long beard under his chin with his left hand, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, brother, I have received the reward just now, and the two of them have led their troops to their positions. Once they get the signal, they will act as planned."

"Yeah! That's so good! You must win this battle, otherwise..."

Although Liu Bei did not say it to the end, Guan Yu also knew clearly what was going on. If this battle was defeated, Runan would be in danger. Once Runan was lost, the great situation that his three brothers had worked hard to achieve would be wasted. We can no longer let the elder brother return to the depressed and unsuccessful days before, and we must win this battle!

"Brother, don't worry! My brothers work together to defeat Cao's army!" Guan Yu said with a smile and comforted Liu Bei.

"Well! Although the third brother is not here... it is enough to defeat the mere Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong, and we two brothers...!"

Guan Yu nodded with a smile. In the evening, the pair of single phoenix eyes suddenly widened, the smile on their faces was restrained, and they said in a low voice: "Brother, Cao Jun is here!"

Liu Bei had also seen dust flying in the distance. He had been through the battle formation for a long time and could see at a glance that this was an army of no less than 10,000 people, and the enemy's approaching speed was quite fast. Raising the commanding flag in his hand, Liu Bei shouted loudly: "The whole army is on guard and prepare for the battle!"

Soon, the Cao army in the distance had approached less than 800 steps. At the forefront of the Cao army, a blue-black battle flag was displayed with great strength. Although the perspective was not very good (the flag was flying from north to south, and Liu Bei and the others were in the south), Liu Bei and Guan Yu could still vaguely see the names on the flag: above the flag were four slightly smaller characters - "General of the Conquering the Barbarians", and below were two big and vigorous words "Xiahou". Behind this blue-black battle flag is also a purple battle flag with the word "Cao". - It was indeed Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong!

700 steps! Twenty thousand Cao troops stopped abruptly under the general's order. A general of Cao's army, who described as strange but majestic, rode his horse out of the battle. It was Xiahou Yuan, the general of the conquered army. Xiahou Yuan rode his horse 100 steps forward, tied the horses and stared at the enemy formation opposite for a moment. Then he pointed forward the sword in his hand and shouted sternly: "Liu Bei, you, a clam and shoe seller, are overestimating your ability to fight against the Prime Minister's Heavenly Soldiers, and you are actually destroying yourself! If you dismount and surrender at this time, I would like to ask the Prime Minister to spare your life!" Although it was 700 steps away, Xiahou Yuan's voice clearly reached the ears of every soldier of the Cao and Liu army.

Under Cao Hong's command, Cao's soldiers shouted in unison according to Xiahou Yuan's words: "Dropping off the horse and surrender, I'll spare your life!" The shouts were astonishing as the earth.

Faced with the Cao army's momentum, Liu Bei was still calm, but some of the soldiers behind him became panicked - after all, some of the soldiers inside had just been recruited for less than a month and had never experienced any battle formations. They were shocked by the momentum of Cao army and were afraid.

Seeing this scene, Guan Yu raised the Qinglong sword in his hand without hesitation, raising his footsteps in his dantian energy, and shouted in a deep voice: "Shut down - calm!" The solemn and majestic voice echoed in the ears of every Liu Bei soldier, miraculously calming the slightly floating morale.

Yu Qingce the Red Rabbit BMW, stepped forward a few steps, held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his right hand and pointed it straight ahead, facing Xiahou Yuan's Banmen Sword from afar, shouting loudly: "Xiahou Shuzi, your sneak attack plan has been discovered. Your army has traveled more than a hundred miles a day and has become an exhausted army. You dare to show off your verbal advantage, but you dare to see the truth!"

"You are waiting for the luck of the dog." Xiahou Yuan snorted coldly, "Even if you see through it, what will happen to you? How can you wait for these mobs be my enemy!"

"Hmph!" Guan Yu shouted coldly, his eyes were full of power, and a strong sense of fighting emanated, "Xiahou Yuan! Do you dare to fight with me?" "Everyone said how great you are, but I treat you like a child! If you want to fight, you are afraid of you?" After that, Xiahou Yuan slapped his seat and rushed over quickly. He waved his sword in his hand lightly, causing a surge of air flow. Then, holding the knife in both hands, the hilt of the knife slightly sank forward, and the head of the knife slightly raised backwards - the starting style of "strive to split Huashan".

A hint of fanaticism appeared in Guan Yu's eyes, and he gently clamped the horse's belly. The red rabbit horse under his crotch was born as a pride in the battlefield, and seemed very excited. He raised his four hooves and struck across the battlefield like a red lightning, carrying Guan Yu to rush over to Xiahou Yuan with an unparalleled aura. Guan Yu, who had been angry, took action with no mercy. He used his famous skill - "Spring and Autumn Sixty-Four Slashes" in his first strike! The green dragon sword in his hand aroused thousands of cloud waves, and a convincing aura filled the eighth zone of the blade, and rushed to Xiahou Yuan.

"Dong!" In an instant, the two horses had already intersected. The Qinglong Yanyue Sword and the combined fan Pandoor Sword collided head-on, causing countless star flowers to emerge. Xiahou Yuan groaned, his figure was trembling violently, and the war horse under his crotch retreated six steps in a row before he could stand steadily. The first attack! Xiahou Yuan suffered a small loss.

In contrast, the Red Rabbit Horse only took two steps back. After stopping its retreat, it immediately rushed forward. Guan Yu and the Red Rabbit were in tune with each other and quickly cut out the big sword in their palm again. For a moment, the blade seemed to turn into a green dragon and headed straight for Xiahou Yuan's waist and abdomen.

In desperation, Xiahou Yuan raised all his strength and waved the Banmen knife to slash it down, trying to cut off the Qinglong.

"Touch!" The two swords collided again.

Xiahou Yuan only felt a burst of blood in his chest. The second blow suffered even greater losses!

He is indeed not a match for Guan Yu, so there is no need to take any risks! Xiahou Yuan turned around and retreated with a group of war horses.

"Dog thief! I still want to leave!" Guan Yu shouted, slapped his horse and slapped his sword and chased after him.

Xiahou Yuan noticed Guan Yu, who was chasing him closely behind, without any panic, and secretly hung the big knife on the side of the horse, took out a strong bow to "Sunset", and a carved feathered arrow was placed on the string, and suddenly turned over and shot it back.

But! At this time, the Red Rabbit Horse was less than two horses away from Xiahou Yuan, and Guan Yu's Qinglong Sword was raised and he was about to chop.

"Miaocai! Be careful!"

"Second brother, be careful!"

Two shouts sounded almost at the same time. Cao Hong and Liu Bei both realized the dangerous situation of their generals and hurriedly spoke up to remind him.

Before Xiahou Yuan's arrow was about to leave the string, he felt the sword wind approaching. In a hurry, the eagle-eating arrow shot out casually, and he grabbed the horse's belly and rode his horse to the right and dodged it sharply.

Liu Bei's shout also reminded Guan Yu. Yu Guang of Fengming noticed Xiahou Yuan's abnormal behavior. When the eagle-eating arrow shot over, Guan Yu had urged the Red Rabbit Horse to dodge to the left. After he stood up, Xiahou Yuan had already rode his horse back into the formation in a mess.

"Hmph!" Guan Yu held the blue dragon sword in one hand and gently stroked the three-foot long beard that was fluttering in the wind. The red rabbit under his crotch jumped his horse and raised his hooves, making a long neighing sound. He stood alone in the middle of the two armies, like an invincible god of war.

Seeing that Guan Yu defeated Xiahou Yuan, the morale of Cao's army opposite was a little depressed. Liu Bei waved his flag and shouted: "Kill!"

With the sound of the ox horns fighting trumpets sounded by "Woo~~Woo", immediately, 15,000 Liu Bei's army rushed forward like a tide.

Before Xiahou Yuan, who had returned to the formation, had already seen Liu Bei's army rushing over hard, without hesitation, raised the sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Get on the fight!"

After a moment, the two armies collided heavily. In the battlefield less than a thousand steps, 30,000 to 40,000 people were fighting to the death, dancing swords and guns, and flesh and blood were flying.

Although Cao's army was elite, they were exhausted when they came from afar and their morale was a little low. Liu's army was eager to work hard, with energy, energy and spirit. Especially after Guan Yu defeated Xiahou Yuan, his morale soared to the extreme, but the more new recruits in the army also restricted their combat power. Therefore, for a time, the two armies fought in a stalemate.

Liu Bei, who had been watching the changes in the battle situation, flashed his eyes in Mudi's eyes, and he waved the coaching flag in his hand twice. With Liu Bei's order, two loud arrows roared into the sky and flew towards the northeast and northwest.

Soon, in the northeast, a dull roar came from far to near and quickly approached. It was a team of light cavalry, with about 1,400 cavalry, forming a cone-shaped charge formation, like a huge awl, galloping towards the rear formation of Cao's army with an unyielding momentum. At the sharpest point of the "giant cone", a blue-white "wind"-shaped battle flag fluttered in the wind. Under the banner, Zhao Yun, with a white horse and silver spear, shouted in a loud voice that was inconsistent with his elegant appearance: "Accelerate, charge..."

In the northwest direction, it appeared a little later than the Fengqi Camp, and Liao Hua led the "Wolf-fang Camp" to shout "kill" and launched an attack on the rear of Cao's army.

With the joining of the Wind Cavalry Camp and the Langya Camp at a critical moment, the battle situation turned sharply and Cao's army had already begun to unable to resist.

Xiahou Yuan waved his sword and killed an enemy soldier, shouting in the direction of Cao Hong: "Zi Lian!"

Cao Hong turned around and looked at Xiahou Yuan with all his eyes, then the two nodded at the same time. Xiahou Yuan immediately shouted in a loud voice: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

When the Cao army soldiers, who had been struggling to support the order, immediately turned around and followed Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong, and retreated to the north. The desire to survive made the already tired Cao army soldiers burst out with unprecedented potential. After breaking through Liu Bei's army's obstruction, they ran for more than 10 miles.

The scattered swords and guns all the way gave Liu Bei and Guan Yu the hope of victory. As long as they could eliminate this Cao army (it was better to kill Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong!), they could greatly weaken Cao Cao's strength and create convenience for better competition with him in the future. - Therefore, they must do their best to wipe out the enemy army!

Liu Bei and Guan Yu rushed to chase the army and chased them tightly.

"Lord! Something is not right!" Zhao Yun, who had been leading the army to rush to Cao's army, suddenly rode his horse to Liu Bei's side and said anxiously.

"Zilong, what's wrong?" Liu Bei asked in confusion.

"Lord! The Cao army in front seems to have been leading us to chase us, and it is still heading towards the mountains and forests! Yun thought there might be a fraud!"

As soon as Zhao Yun reminded him, Liu Bei and Guan Yu immediately calmed down a little. Zhuma looked around and saw a undulating hill in front of him, and there were trees, which could indeed ambush many people. The two of them had been through a long battle formation and knew something was wrong. They were about to order the army to stop pursuing.

At this moment, a sound of war drums sounded, and then the shrill sound of trumpets broke through the sky. Countless flags suddenly appeared in the hills, hills and woods in front of them, and more than ten thousand Cao troops flashed out. Xiahou Yuan's army, who had been retreating, immediately stopped their pace, turned around and joined the newly emerged Cao army, and firmly blocked the way forward of Liu Bei's army.

At the same time, Liu Bei's army had an army on both sides, the left and right sides, with a total of no less than 15,000 troops, nailing Liu Bei's army's retreat to death.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu looked at each other and their expressions changed slightly. A frustrated but helpless but unavoidable thought surged into their hearts.

Being trapped!

………………………………….

At this time, Zhang Liao led 5,000 light cavalry to gallop towards Runan.

The cavalry distances from Runan City—
