The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 353 The First Impact

In the spring of 202 A.D., Pengcheng, an important throat in the north of Xuzhou.

At this time, countless birds flew up in panic from the forest where they lived, and screamed chaotically through the setting sun in the west.

The gust of wind swirling from the edge of the Yellow River swept across Pengcheng like a blade, tearing away the billowing smoke from the top of the city.

There are many swords and guns, the forest of military spirit, and ten thousand Chu troops stand in line.

The breathtaking military power made the arrogant wind have to calm down, and stopped abruptly in front of the huge army formation, and could only hold its breath and caress the battle flags.

The black battle flag rolled like a huge wave, and the big red flag was particularly eye-catching, with a large "yellow" character embroidered on the flag.

Under the banner, a burly young general with a stern face was staring at the West Avenue calmly.

He was wearing an exquisite black armor, holding a big iron sword in his hand, and his half-opened and half-closed eyes were shining brightly.

He is the famous general of Chu, Huang Zhong.

A scout came from Xijuechen, passed through layers of guards, and arrived in front of Huang Zhong's horse.

"General, tens of thousands of Liu troops are rushing towards Peng, and the vanguard is twenty miles away."

Hearing the scout's information, Huang Zhong nodded slightly, and murmured: "As expected..."

All the generals on the left and right turned pale when they heard this information.

However, there was no fear on their faces, but an unbelievable amazement.

"Liu Thief attacked me in Huainan as expected. The general really knew everything well."

The deputy general couldn't help but clasped his hands in admiration, and the rest of the generals agreed in unison.

Huang Zhong glanced slightly at the corner of his mouth, as if dismissing the compliments from the generals, he slashed his sword and said sharply: "The Liu army is approaching, the whole army is ready to fight!"

The letter flag was waved, and the order was passed down layer by layer with the red handsome flag as the center.

In an instant, all the tens of thousands of Chu soldiers tensed up, and they all clenched their weapons tightly.

Huang Zhong held the handle of the knife tightly, looking straight ahead like a blade.

At the end of the avenue, billowing smoke and dust gradually rose, and many horses and human heads appeared and disappeared in the mist. A rushing army, like a ghost escaped from the underworld, was rushing towards this place ferociously.

Guan Yu, the opponent Huang Zhong has been looking forward to......

Facing the powerful Chu army's strategy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao by attacking Xuzhou directly regardless of the safety of Huainan, Liu Bei had no choice but to order Guan Yu to lead the light cavalry and heavy cavalry as a fast troop to Pengcheng for defense. The vanguard, Huang Zhong.

The dark line on the horizon became thicker, and the distant and long horn came from the sky, as if it came from another world.

In the infantry formation of the Chu army, the soldiers held their weapons tightly, stared wide-eyed, and looked anxiously at the enemy who was about to kill.

It is too early to fight for world hegemony, and the urgent need to face now is Guan Yu, who is known as the world's number one knife.

Huang Zhong's sword eyebrows were condensed into a line, and he tightened his body armor again, the veins on the back of his hand protruded like vines, and he held a steel knife even tighter.

The earth was shaking, the eardrums were rumbling, Huang Tian was against the withered field, and the strong wind howled in his ears, scraping his face like a knife.

Huang Zhong felt that his blood was gradually boiling, and an inexplicable excitement surged in his chest.

For some reason, instead of showing any trace of fear, he desperately wanted to meet that nemesis of fate for a while.

Martial Saint Guan Yu, let the horse go, let me, Huang Zhong, meet you for a while.

At the end of the avenue, the black line became thicker and thicker, moving southward faster and faster. Against the background of the faint thunder and the trembling of the ground, the image of the enemy finally came into view.

That was not an ordinary Liu army, but a cavalry, Liu Bei's most elite cavalry.

The corner of Huang Zhong's mouth raised a sneer, what he saw was exactly as he expected.

Liu Bei feinted to attack Shouchun with the main force, but used a small number of cavalry to surprise Pengcheng, intending to take advantage of the speed advantage of the cavalry and catch him by surprise. How clever the use of cavalry is.

"Liu Bei, you are indeed powerful, but it's a pity that you have calculated everything, and you can never count that I, Huang Zhong, will be the biggest variable."

Huang Zhong swung his sword horizontally, the military flag waved, and the war drums rumbled. The fighting spirit of the [-] Chu troops suddenly increased, and they were fully focused on preparing for a big kill.

More than ten miles away.

The rushing Liu Jun weakened his charge, and thousands of Qingqi formed an army formation, forming a confrontation with the Chu army one mile away.

Under the big banner with the word "Guan" written on it, Mi Fang reined in his horse and stood there, staring at the Chu army's formation in front of him, his gaze gradually became a little heavy.

There was a sound of hurried hooves, and a horse galloped from the rear.

The man was nine feet tall, with a body as tall as a mountain, and his red complexion was like a burning fire.

His long black beard stretched over his belly, and his Danfeng eyes were half-opened and half-closed. He was not angry and arrogant, and the Liu Jun soldiers around him all bowed their heads and did not dare to look up.

The man went straight to the front of the formation, his voice was like a bell, shaking people's eardrums slightly.

Mi Fangyao pointed at the Chu army: "Look, Yunchang, the enemy's formation is strict and their banners are pristine. It seems that they have already prepared. In my opinion, we should wait until the infantry of the eldest brother arrives before making any plans."

Guan Yu squinted at the enemy with his head raised, his eyes were full of disdain, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly: "Brother is so predictable, how can the Chu army take precautions, I see the Chu army in front of me, they are just chickens and dogs, just bluffing."

In the words, there is an aloof demeanor that looks down on the world.

"That being said, Huang Zhong is Chu Xiao's general, so it should not be taken lightly." Compared with Guan Yu, Mi Fang was much more cautious.

Guan Yu snorted coldly, his eyes traveled across the wilderness, and fixed on the enemy general under the big red banner.

Guan Yu knew that it was Huang Zhong, the legendary general of Chu.

"What General Chu Xiao, in my eyes, is nothing more than someone who inserts a label and sells his head. Let me take his head and come here."

Before he finished speaking, Guan Yu clamped the horse's belly, and the horse from his crotch shot out like a red lightning bolt.

"Yunchang—"

Mi Fang was shocked, and when she wanted to dissuade him, Guan Yu was already more than ten paces away.

One person and one rider, under the watchful eyes of the generals of the two armies, crossed the open field and galloped towards Huang Zhong's place.

The horses galloped like the wind, and in a blink of an eye they were only two hundred steps away from the Chu army formation.

Soon there was a small commotion on the side of the Chu army, and the deputy general Huang She pointed to the front and said, "General Huang, look, there is a single rider in Liu Jun's formation running towards our side."

Huang Zhong, who was always on high alert, had already noticed it without his reminding.

In the field of vision, the vigorous body was gradually approaching, and there seemed to be a group of dazzling and flaming giant snakes circulating around the lower body of the man, like a dream and a fantasy.

As it got closer, it became clear that the burning fire was actually a huge red war horse.

The slender and strong limbs of the war horse, the strip-shaped muscles attached to them, seem to be made of steel bars, and the smooth skin is as bright as a blazing flame. In the bleak wind, the red mane dancing with the wind is like a thousand fire snakes move.

Bearded man, war horse!

Guan Yu, you are finally here.

Huang Zhong's heart suddenly tensed up. Although he inherited all the martial arts from his deity, he has never fought against anyone since time travel, and he doesn't know his true ability.

Under such circumstances, Huang Zhong would not be so stupid as to block Guan Yu's knife alone.

Just as Huang Zhong was about to give the order to shoot Guan Yu who was rushing to death with random arrows, Huang She said again: "General Huang, I remember that Liu Shijun told the general before he left that he had a righteous brother named Guan Yu. He has a face like a jujube, a long beard over his belly, and he likes to wear a green hat the most. He may be among Liu Jun. If he comes to join him, let us take good care of him. At the end of the day, this single rider will dress up and look very similar to Liu. The Guan Yu that the envoy said."

Huang Zhong's heart skipped a beat, and the questions that had plagued his mind for a long time were instantly resolved.

No wonder Huang Zhong, who was called by Yuan Shao as a rival to Lu Bu, was killed by Guan Yu in a single blow. It turned out that he was killed by Liu Bei's pre-departure instructions!

When Huang Zhong suddenly realized, Guan Yu had rushed within more than a hundred steps, and the Green Dragon Saber he was holding upside down reflected a fierce cold air.

Although he was a hundred paces away, Huang Zhong seemed to feel Guan Yu's intense murderous aura.

Life and death, right now.

Immediately, he clenched the handle of the knife tightly, and shouted sharply: "Shoot the arrow, let me shoot the monkey with the cuckold's butt and face to death!"

Under the order, the archers hurriedly gathered towards the front.

Only then did Huang Zhong realize that he had made a mistake in arranging troops.

In the attack on Pengcheng this time, Huang Zhong led a mixed infantry and cavalry regiment of about 1 people, including [-] infantry and [-] cavalry.

There are still more than 2000 Liu Jun stationed in Pengcheng. In order to prevent the Liu Jun in the city from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack inside and outside, it is necessary to leave enough troops to continue to surround Pengcheng.

Considering that Liu Jun is very likely to use light cavalry to attack the enemy, it is difficult to withstand the impact of the enemy's cavalry if he simply responds to the enemy with infantry.

Under the balance of the two, Huang Zhong left most of the infantry to surround Peng, and led [-] cavalry and less than [-] infantry to meet Liu Jun's surprise attack.

Among the 50-step army, there are no more than two or three hundred archers, and they are scattered on the battlefield stretching for miles. In a hurry, there are only three or fifty people who can be used to attack Guan Yu.

Accompanied by a buzzing sound, more than fifty arrows pierced through the air, drawing arcs in the sky and attacking Guan Yu.

The accuracy of bows and arrows is limited, and their power on the battlefield mainly depends on large-scale intensive volleys. Of the more than fifty arrows shot out, most of them are off-point halfway, and only three or five arrows can be shot at Guan Yu.

Guan Yu, who was galloping, danced the green dragon sword like a wheel, and easily bounced off the incoming arrow.

The cavalry charged, and the archers did not take more than three shots. What's more, today they are facing Guan Yu who has a fast horse. He only needs one round of arrows.

It wasn't until this moment that Huang She realized that this red-faced enemy general did not come to defect, but came straight to their chief general Huang Zhong's head.

"Quick, protect General Huang and stop this enemy general!"

Huang She roared loudly, together with more than ten cavalry troops around Huang Zhong, they rushed towards Guan Yu in a swarm.

Although the Chu army has a large number of people, it is a pity that they are facing the martial saint Guan Yu.
