Chapter 468 Xingba, you can see clearly (four thousand)

"General Guan, the main force of Yuan's army is ahead!"

Gan Ning's face was filled with excitement, and even the hand holding the long sword was shaking slightly. He saw the change in Guan Yu's expression just now. Is it really coming? !
As he was thinking about it, he glanced at Guan Yu's face again out of the corner of his eye.

Guan Yu's face was calm. He took a long breath and smiled faintly, "Xingba, are you willing to support me and defeat the enemy together?"

"I couldn't ask for more!" Gan Ning was so excited that his voice broke.

Guan Yu nodded slightly, "Good!"

Guan Yu then said, "My fellow soldiers, Yuan's army is just ahead of us. It's time to make achievements!"

These cavalrymen were all Guan Yu's personal guards. They had followed Guan Yu through countless battles. Even though there were only a hundred of them, their morale had never declined. Guan Yu's words brought their morale to a peak.

Everyone was ready to fight, waiting for Guan Yu's military order.

The next moment, Guan Yu shouted: "All troops, listen up, follow me in the raid!"

"promise!"

A thunderous response like a tsunami rose from among the hundreds of riders. They raised their spears one after another, their eyes firm and their faces resolute.

Following Guan Yu's order, he immediately galloped on his horse and followed Guan Yu closely.

Gao Lan, who was in the center of Yuan's army and in charge of the entire army, had been experiencing eyelid twitching wildly since he opened his eyes. He thought to himself, "Oh no!", could something bad be happening?

Whatever you worry about will come true.

The messenger came in a hurry, "Report - Lieutenant Gao, strange cavalrymen were spotted in the rear! They may be Guan Yu's troops!"

Guan Yu!
Just hearing the name, Gao Lan's hands shook uncontrollably, and he almost couldn't hold the sword at his waist. His face suddenly turned pale.

Who is Guan Yu, the shadow of the famous tree? He is the enemy of ten thousand people who ranks before Huang Hansheng!
Now that we know that Guan Yu appears in the back, it is undoubtedly more terrifying than the monster stories told by novelists!
"Then how many troops does Guan Yu have?" Fortunately, Gao Lan was not frightened. He suppressed his fear and asked for the key information.

However, the answer given by the messenger made him dazed for a moment.

"Report to General Gao, 100 cavalrymen."

"What? Hundred. Hundred cavalry???" Gao Lan looked at the messenger in disbelief. The result was so unexpected that he even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

In order to confirm the answer, Gao Lan took a quick step and grabbed the messenger's collar.

"This is true!"

It was the first time that the messenger had seen Gao Lan like this. He was really shocked. He replied tremblingly, "Absolutely not. Absolutely not even a single word of falsehood!"

"Hahaha"

Gao Lan let go of the messenger's collar and staggered back several steps.

He muttered to himself, "A hundred cavalry? If Guan Yu had a thousand cavalry, I would be a little afraid of him. A mere hundred cavalry may be able to capture Guan Yu alive!"

Just thinking about that scene, Gao Lan's mouth corners were raised with excitement.

Who is Guan Yu? Liu Xuande's younger brother. It is said that they are as close as brothers. If Guan Yu's life is used as a threat, this battle may be able to turn defeat into victory!
By then, he will surely make great contributions!

Xin Pi and Xin Ping looked at each other and thought to themselves that this was not good. They stepped forward to persuade Gao Lan to give up this idea. If he failed, he would be doomed!

However, Xu You intervened and scolded them, "When necessary, we must use necessary methods. In this situation, if we don't give it a try, there will be no way out!"

Xin Pi Xin Ping wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to start. What Xu You said was true. If it was true as Gao Lan said, if Guan Yu could be captured, they could win a chance to catch their breath and even change the situation of the war.
It’s just that Guan Yu’s cavalry was too powerful. Although it was mostly due to the new saddles, it is undeniable that the quality of those cavalrymen was the best of the best.

Facing these cavalrymen, even if there are only a hundred of them, they should not be underestimated.

Xin Pi and Xin Ping looked at each other, and they understood each other's meaning, and they both uttered the same word in unison.

"bet!"

As for how to deal with Guan Yu's cavalry
"Cheques, caltrops, and human walls."

It can be described as omnipotent.

Gao Lan's last bit of worry gradually disappeared after the discussion among several people. He clenched his lance tightly. Today was the day for him to become famous all over the world!
He took a deep breath and issued the most radical military order since he became the commander-in-chief. "All troops, listen to my order. Capture Guan Yu at all costs! Anyone who kills Guan Yu's cavalry will be rewarded handsomely!"

"General Guan knows that it is not easy for you. General Huang's heavenly troops are coming. Surrender and you will not be killed! Surrender and you will not be killed!"

Gan Ning shouted at the Yuan army soldiers at the top of his voice. It was not that he did not want to see Guan Yu's skills, but their whereabouts had been exposed. It would be a good thing if he could shout and make some people drop their weapons.

But soon, Gan Ning showed a trace of surprise on his face. "General Guan, I am almost hoarse from shouting. Not only do these people refuse to surrender to us, but they also attempt to attack us. How can Yuan Benchu ​​be so popular?"

"Proceed according to the original plan." Guan Yu's face was slightly cold and his tone was indifferent.

Upon hearing this, Gan Ning excitedly clenched his sword, swallowed his saliva, and made his plan on the spot. That was to kill the general!

"Yes!" Gan Ning and a group of cavalry responded hurriedly.

Guan Yu whipped his horse whip, which made a loud noise, and led hundreds of cavalrymen to charge towards the center of Yuan's army.

Even though the soldiers of Yuan's army looked terrified, they gritted their teeth and accepted the military order.

Under the command of the generals, hundreds of soldiers surrounded and intercepted Guan Yu and others.

Gan Ning didn't think much of it, but he felt that the person in front of him was a little strange. Why didn't he seem to be afraid of their charge? He even looked forward to them charging at once?
Just as Gan Ning was thinking, Guan Yu suddenly said, "There must be thorns in the bushes ahead!"

Tribulus terrestris is a plant covered with thorns.

But this thorn is not that thorn. The thorn mentioned during marching and fighting is mostly an object that imitates the shape of these plants, made of copper, and used to deal with war horses.

If an ordinary warhorse stepped on a thorn, it would at best lose the ability to continue moving, or at worst fall head over heels.

If a war horse with iron horseshoes
Gan Ning didn't know what the outcome would be, maybe he could just eat the thorns?
Guan Yu obviously didn't think so. He issued a military order, "My fellow soldiers, listen up. Don't move forward. Keep your distance and don't fight with them!"

While giving the order, Guan Yu took off the short bow on his back. The soldiers, including Gan Ning, understood his intention and reined in their horses to change direction, while preparing to draw their bows and shoot arrows as quickly as possible, imitating Guan Yu.

"Ok?"

Seeing that Guan Yu and his 100 cavalrymen were not fooled, the generals of Yuan's army could not help but sigh in their hearts. However, the disappointment and sigh turned into a joke the moment Guan Yu and his 100 cavalrymen took out their bows and arrows.

"Bow and arrow?"

"Shoot arrows from the horse? These cavalrymen are probably a hundred steps away from us. Can they hit us from the horse?"

"Hahaha, everyone says that Huang Zhong's soldiers are elite soldiers, but I don't think they are any better than this! Shooting arrows on horseback is simply unbelievable! It's impossible!"

"Brothers, it seems we don't need to secretly place caltrops anymore! They shoot arrows? I'm afraid they will fall off their horses! What a piece of military merit!" The generals of Yuan army laughed. They thought their intentions were discovered, but they overestimated the other party.

A hundred or so cavalrymen actually drew their bows and shot arrows.

Regardless of whether one can shoot arrows while riding a horse, at a distance of about a hundred steps, the power of the bow and arrow will definitely be greatly reduced. The person who made such a decision is probably doing it on purpose to make people laugh!
Kuan?
It's just a name!

The only person who can ride a horse is Huang Hansheng!

Could it be that all these people are Huang Hansheng? What a joke! What a joke!

However, the subsequent developments were beyond the expectations of Yuan’s generals.

As Guan Yu released the bowstring, hundreds of arrows shot out.

Facing these arrows, the generals of Yuan's army did not take them seriously, and their faces were full of indifference, as if to say, "If you even move your eyelids a little, you are not a real man!"

Unfortunately, this indifference did not last long. After just a moment, the expressions on their faces were replaced by surprise.

What did they see?
Hundreds of arrows were like gusts of wind, and in just a flash, they flew in front of his eyes. With a cry of pain, the soldiers beside him fell to the ground one after another after being shot by arrows.

The generals swallowed their saliva, felt their scalps tingling, and their eyes were filled with horror.

Could these... these people all be Huang Hansheng?
Some generals suppressed their fear and urged their soldiers to raise their shields.

It was a pity that it was too late. After shooting the arrow, Guan Yu and his cavalry did not show any reluctance and immediately urged their horses to take a detour and attack in the opposite direction.

Gan Ning could not help but ask Guan Yu about his intention. Guan Yu did not hide his intention. He smiled and said, "When the difference in strength between the enemy and us is too great, the general must create opportunities locally to allow his own side to use their numbers to bully the few. The key is to use movement to defeat stillness!"

"Use movement to control stillness." Gan Ning repeated this sentence over and over again. He felt a rumbling in his head, as if he understood something. He immediately looked at Guan Yu with admiration and said gratefully, "General Guan is truly a famous general of the time! Ning, I admire you!"

But while admiring him, Gan Ning was also a little dejected. It seemed that he would never have the chance to visit the fairyland mentioned in the previous Zijing. It was too difficult for someone like General Guan to have the chance to visit the fairyland, right?

Soon he suppressed this emotion and looked at Guan Yu with respect. It is my honor to serve General Guan. What else can I expect?

After escaping Yuan Jun for several times and making them fall into his own rhythm, Guan Yu suddenly said: "Xingba, the opportunity is right in front of us. If we advance from here, we will definitely catch Yuan Jun off guard!"

"Yes!" Gan Ning responded excitedly.

When some people are happy, others are sad.

As Gao Lan listened to the military report, the veins on his forehead throbbed with anger.

Tribulus? No use! Guan Yu saw through it at a glance!
Barricades? Guan Yu just took a detour!

Use soldiers to contain? It's completely useless! Guan Yu never likes to fight!

What about the crossbow? Regardless of whether they hit the target or not, even if they hit Guan Yu's cavalry, what use would the arrows be if they couldn't even penetrate the armor? ! !

suffocated.

It's so frustrating.

Gao Lan had never experienced such an aggrieved war. Even though he was so angry that he clenched his fists, he had to admit in his heart that Guan Yu was not in vain and that he should not take such a risk.
But now it's too late to say anything.

The most important thing at the moment is how to get rid of Guan Yu!
Just when Gao Lan wanted to ask Xin Pi and Xin Ping what to do about Xu You, the anxious messenger brought even worse news.

"Report! Captain! Guan Yu leads a hundred cavalrymen to charge into the central army!"

Gao Lan's face turned even paler. If Guan Yu had charged into the central army just now, it would have been great news.

If now
It was a terrible situation. All the objects that could stop the war horses from charging were sent out by him!
After thinking for a moment, Gao Lan only had one idea, which was to escape!
But what Gao Lan didn't know was that it was too late. Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and relayed through Gan Ning's excited and slightly out-of-tune voice beside him that he had locked his eyes on Gao Lan.

Guan Yu thought to himself: Is this man the commander who will temporarily replace Wen Chou?

So he shouted in a deep voice: "Xingba!"

"promise!"

Gan Ning immediately understood that this meant he was going to follow General Guan into battle and directly take down the enemy general!
Even though he was filled with excitement, the hand holding the long sword was as steady as a rock.

"drive!"

With a roar, Guan Yu rode away, Gan Ning followed closely beside him, and behind him were a hundred cavalrymen following closely behind him.

The cavalry led by Guan Yu was like a steel knife piercing straight into the heart of Yuan's army. The Yuan army was suddenly in chaos, and many of them turned around and fled. The scene was suddenly in chaos.

Gao Lan wanted to escape, but he always felt something was wrong. Why did he feel that Guan Yu was coming towards him?

As Guan Yu approached at lightning speed, Gao Lan's heart trembled. Oh no, Guan Yu is really coming for me!
"Stop him, stop him!" Gao Lan shouted at the top of his voice.

The personal guards rushed forward and tried to stop Guan Yu, but Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Blade was fast and heavy, and Gan Ning was also an extraordinary person, and the two of them complemented each other.

No matter how elite Gao Lan's personal guards were, facing the charge of Guan Yu, Gan Ning and their cavalry, they were like paper and collapsed at the first touch!
Guan Yu was so brave that the remaining guards of Gao Lan became timid, and even the promised rewards were of no use.

Gao Lan's heart was pounding and cold sweat covered his forehead. He knew that he had no choice but to fight to the death!
"Guan Yuchang! Give me your life!"

"Follow me, all the soldiers. There will be huge rewards!"

Gao Lan's eyes turned red as he stood up. His personal guards were also greatly encouraged and followed his footsteps on horseback to fight with Guan Yu and others.

Looking at Gao Lan coming to kill him, Guan Yu sneered, "That's exactly what I want, Xingba, you better watch out!"

Guan Yu's heart was beating strongly, constantly injecting vitality into his limbs and bones. He held the Green Dragon Crescent Blade tightly in both hands, and the power was transmitted from his arms to the blade.

Just when he was about to clash with Gao Lan, Guan Yu, who had been accumulating strength for a long time, seized the opportunity and swung out the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, which drew a half-moon arc.

Gao Lan held up the spear and tried to resist, but the moment he raised the spear, his face changed drastically.

What a quick knife!

At the critical moment, Gao Lan still blocked the Green Dragon Crescent Blade with his spear, but his expression did not improve, but became even paler.

What a strength!
No, I can’t stop it!
The Green Dragon Crescent Blade cut off the shaft of Gao Lan's lance, and the dazzling blade light slashed on Gao Lan's body.

Gao Lan died.

Guan Yu used his Azure Dragon Crescent Blade to lift up Gao Lan's corpse and shouted, "The enemy general is dead, why don't you surrender?!"

Gan Ning and other cavalrymen shouted in unison: "The enemy general is dead, why don't you surrender?!"
