Han Dao world

Chapter 437
Although after refining the long sword, Guan Yu never left his sword, and often practiced against Xu Huang, but this was the first time he faced an enemy in front of the battle.

The horse is fast, the knife is fast, and Guan Yu is in a happier mood.

If you are afraid of hurting others during sparring, you will inevitably keep your hands, which is not enjoyable enough.When killing the enemy without mercy, the feeling of unity between man and horse is more obvious.

The heavy blade cut Wen Chou's neck, and at the moment when blood gushed out like a spring, Guan Yu felt the joy he had not seen for a long time, and he also believed what Xu Huang said at the beginning.

The long knife is the most suitable weapon for him.

With a backhand slash, Wen Chou's flag-bearing soldier, including the man and the flag, was cut into four pieces. Guan Yu screamed sharply and rushed into the enemy group.

The Xiliang big horse spread its four hooves and galloped like lightning.

The long knife flew around, knocking and blocking, no matter whether the opponent was using a ring-sword or a spear, they couldn't withstand a light knock from the heavy long knife.Guan Yu, however, relied on his tyrannical strength to dance the long knife as lightly as snowflakes, and entered with the wind, taking the life of his opponent in the palm of his hand.

There is no enemy in front of the horse, cold light and hot blood fly together.

Although there were many cavalry led by Wen Chou, Wen Chou was killed before the battle and lost his command.Guan Yu is too strong and invincible.The battle was broken by Guan Yu from the center line, and the knights were divided into two teams. They panicked and were killed immediately.

The five hundred knights often train with Guan Yu, and they have long known that Guan Yu is good at martial arts.Seeing Guan Yu beheading the general and capturing the flag now, the blood in his chest was boiling, and he was so invincible that he roared in unison and charged forward with Guan Yu.

Sima Yi was trapped in it, and he was stunned to see the wolf-like knights easily destroying their opponents.

After only one charge, Wen Chou's subordinates collapsed and fled in all directions.

Relying on the speed of his horse, Guan Yu chased and killed him for a while, then slowly withdrew his troops and ordered to clean up the battlefield, especially the horses.

He came from a long-distance attack, and the horse's physical strength was exhausted.If it is not replenished in time, the combat effectiveness will decline rapidly.

Sima Yi rushed to Guan Yu and bowed his hands in salute. "The general is brave, I admire you."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled, raising the long knife in his hand. "With my horse on my crotch and a knife in my hand, can I take Yecheng?"

Sima Yi smiled. "Only one thing is missing."

"What?"

"Thirty thousand elite step riders."

Guan Yu shot Sima Yi sideways and laughed.Although he was proud, he also knew that Sima Yi was right.Yecheng cannot be taken down by him alone.Sima Yi said that he only needs to ride [-] steps, which is already giving him a lot of face.

If you really want to take Yecheng, you can't do it without [-] elites.

But Xu Huang only has [-] cavalry. Although Dong Zhao has more than [-] soldiers, those people are ordinary people, not elite.

"Then let Yuan Shao live on for a few more days." Guan Yu pointed with his sword. "When the Son of Heaven marches eastward, I will be the vanguard and take Yecheng directly."

"At that time, I will be the general's guide." Sima Yi said.

Guan Yu laughed.

After quickly counting the battlefield, the result is very good.Although the number of actual beheadings was not large, they were very important. In addition to Wen Chou, seven or eight other low-level generals such as military lords and village chiefs were killed, and half of them died under Guan Yu's sword.

But Guan Yu was a little unhappy.

The number of beheadings was not many, but more than a dozen of the knights under his command were injured when they fell off their horses due to insufficient horsepower, and several of them were trampled to death by the horses.After calculating the battle damage, he barely reached the promise he made to Xu Huang.

This battle was a quick victory, and the battle damage barely reached the standard. If the two armies faced each other, how could they achieve a ten to one battle loss?
Guan Yu had a headache.

He has been fighting with Liu Bei for many years, and he has always been at the front, beheading many people.But to be honest, the real victories are very limited, so naturally they are not in the mood to calculate the battle loss ratio.In this way, with elite soldiers available, winning is no longer a problem, but the battle loss ratio has become a stumbling block.

Seeing Guan Yu's complexion, Sima Yi was surprised and asked tentatively.

After hesitating for a moment, Guan Yu recounted his agreement with Xu Huang.After hearing this, Sima Yi smiled and said: "Don't worry, General. There are roughly two reasons why the loss ratio in this battle is not good. If you can listen to me, General, I guarantee that you will win every battle."

"tell me the story."

"First, the general rushed thousands of miles to help, and the soldiers and horses were exhausted. Coupled with the fact that they were not familiar with the terrain, the loss was not due to fighting, but insufficient preparation. Second, the general beheaded Wen Chou and defeated the enemy, but he did not pursue him, so The number of beheadings is limited. If we can chase and kill all the way and expand the results of the battle, the number of beheadings should be more than five times."

After thinking about it for a while, Guan Yu understood the reason.

Saying one thousand, saying ten thousand, still somewhat underestimates the enemy.If Sima Yi had accepted Sima Yi's suggestion at that time, occupying a favorable terrain first, allowing the soldiers to have a rest, eat something, replenish their strength, and then take the opportunity to observe the battlefield, perhaps these two problems would have been avoided.

Although he agreed in his heart, Guan Yu still refused to admit defeat, and smiled noncommittally.

After clearing the battlefield, Guan Yu sent several people to escort the prisoners and the spoils of war, and Guan Yu set off again.

Wen Chou's defeated troops returned to the camp and reported the battle situation to the chief general Cui Jun.Knowing that Wen Chou was killed and the whole army was defeated, Cui Jun was shocked and ordered to retreat.

Guan Yu led his troops to pursue and encountered Cui Jun's men and horses several times.He adopted Sima Yi's suggestion, and kept the battle loss ratio below ten to one.

News of the defeat kept coming, Guan Yu was getting closer and closer, Cui Jun panicked and ordered to evacuate quickly.

When passing through Dangyin, Cui Jun was harassed by the Black Mountain Army again, and the morale of the army became more and more low.

Guan Yu seized the opportunity, led his troops to break through the formation, quickly pierced through Cui Jun's front formation, and killed Cui Jun in front of him.

Cui Jun was terrified when he saw Guan Yu wielding a long sword and rushing from left to right in the battle formation, as if entering a land without people.The horrible memory of being defeated by Gongsun Zan back then came back to mind.

He dropped the army and ran away under the protection of his personal guard cavalry.

Yuan Jun collapsed, Guan Yu led the cavalry, and chased north.

The city of Ye was shaken, and people were quickly sent to report the emergency to Yuan Shao.

According to Guan Yu's meaning, it was to kill directly under the city of Ye.Even if you can't capture Yecheng, let the people in Yecheng see his majesty.Sima Yi raised an objection. He suggested that Guan Yu stay in Dangyin and travel around Liyang and Neihuang.

This area is very close to Yecheng, and Yuan Shao attached great importance to it, so he sent general Jiang Qi to lead a heavy army to Liyang to guard the nearby Yellow River ferry.

Yuan Shao withdrew his troops from the Central Plains and returned to Yecheng. The nearby Puyang was one of the optional ferries.

Jiang Qi is a prudent person, he is unlikely to use heavy troops to encircle and suppress Guan Yu, he will only guard the camp and protect the Puyang Ferry.But if Guan Yu attacked Yecheng directly, the situation would be different, and Jiang Qi would definitely send troops to assist.

In this way, Guan Yu will be surrounded by heavy troops, and Dong Zhao's troops will not be enough to break the siege.

Guan Yu may not be defeated, but the loss will definitely be great.

Instead of going deep alone, it is better to wait for Xu Huang and Dong Zhao to arrive and find a way together.It can not only complete the scheduled tasks, but also control the loss to the lowest level and maintain the previous advantages.

Guan Yu thought so.While sending people to deliver letters to Dong Zhao and Xu Huang, he led his troops to cruise between Dangyin, Liyang and Neihuang.
