At about noon, Guan Yu's main force arrived at the West Bridge of Lushui, and at this moment the three armies of Chen Shi, Wang Chong, and Sun Lang were already arrayed on the north bank.

Guan Yurong's car drove across the West Bridge of Junshui, and he held the silk book sent by Tian Xin on the Rong's car and was silent.

The Beifu soldiers on the upper road did not move, Zhang Fei on the middle road stepped forward to fight, and Tianyu on the lower road resisted the invasion of the Wei army's flank.

The battle situation is not complicated, the only complicated difficulty lies in Cao Zhen, the main cavalry under Cao Zhen has not yet appeared on the battlefield.

According to estimates, Cao Zhen still has more than 30,000 cavalry troops in his hands.

Holding this silk book tightly, Guan Yu thought for a long time and smiled: "Xiaoxian still has a memory of these 30,000 horsemen, and I thought that he could be rigid without desire." ”

Wang Fu, who was in the same car, bowed down and replied: "Chen Gong is sharp, and he is worried about state affairs today." ”

Tian Xin did not lack military merits, nor did he lack 30,000 cavalry prisoners, and his desire for victory was far less fierce than Zhang Fei's.

Gradually aging, Zhang Fei refused to let go of any battle, the older he gets, the more anxious he becomes, not as calm as Tian Xin.

As long as Tian Xin is still alive, the Han army's fighting spirit is there, and it can press the Wei army at any time, and it can be eaten away step by step at the worst.

Annihilating and annexing the 30,000 cavalry in Cao Zhen's hands can accelerate the unification war by about five years.

After a long time, he couldn't find out the movements of Cao Zhen's 30,000 cavalry, should he abandon Sima Yi and Zhu Shuo and flee to Yique, or should he be a surprise soldier and come directly to fight himself?

Wang Fu, Pei Jun, Xia Houlan, and Zhou Cang waited quietly, waiting for Guan Yu's choice.

The 10,000 people of Feng Xi's troops have already abandoned their baggage and strode towards Luyang, and if they encounter the retreating Cao Zhen's 30,000 horsemen, they will not be able to intercept it.

If Cao Zhen retreated, then the overseer Sima Yi, the leader of the central army Zhu Shuo, the great Sima Changshi Guo Huai, and the Yanling Marquis Cao Zhang, a total of 60,000 or 70,000 Wei troops would be surrounded by their own side, and it is estimated that no more than 5,000 people could escape.

So don't worry about Cao Zhen's retreat, Cao Zhen's retreat is not a bad thing, and he can eat Sima Yi's sixty or seventy thousand Wei troops with a slight loss.

Cao Zhen's camp is the closest to Xiqiao, and if he also marches in a hurry to reinforce the battlefield, he is likely to suffer from Cao Zhen's impact.

But if you march normally, you will be delayed to arrive at the battlefield north of Dongqiao.

Thinking of the more than 20,000 Chinese troops of Liu Bei following behind him, Guan Yu had already made a decision and issued combat orders to the three armies of Chen Shi, Sun Lang, and Wang Chong who surrounded him.

Chen Shi was originally subordinate to the Chinese army, and Chen Shi continued to guard the Xiqiao Battalion; Sun Lang's officials came from Jiaxian and Liang counties, and in the north of Luyang, Sun Lang's troops went straight to his father's city, seized Jiaxian, Liang County, and Yangrenju, and set up strongholds along the way to collect and capture the scattered soldiers of the Wei army.

Wang Chong's Bajun soldiers belonged to the Right Army, and they had been recuperating for a long time and were full of energy, and they accelerated their march along the north bank of the tidal flats to the battlefield forty miles to the east, so as to contain and reinforce them.

After making arrangements, Guan Yu's main force crossed the river, followed Wang Chong's subordinates, and slowly marched towards the battlefield in the north of Kunyang.

The army marched in formation, not much faster.

The choices that should be made have been made, it depends on whether Cao really wants to use himself, or to assault the Chinese army, or to honestly reinforce the Kunyang battlefield.

After playing the cards in his hand, Guan Yu was calm and quietly waited for the leap of time.

Liu Bei's army is far away from the battlefield, and there are cards that are also the back cards of reinforcements, and it is not yet time for Liu Bei to make a move.

All the armies of the enemy and us are moving, Cao Zhen is wearing the usual color of Tiezha fish scale basin collar armor, and is stationed at Matupo to look at Guan Yu's marching array.

More than 5,000 people under Wang Chong's department before Guan Yu marched all the way, Cao Zhen didn't even have the heart to look at the analysis, Wang Chong's 5,000 people were difficult to play a decisive role, even if Guo Huai, Dai Ling, and Jiang Xu couldn't solve it, they could also contain the mountain infantry under Wang Chong's command.

At present, the seventeen marching phalanx of Guan Yu's headquarters marched along the large tidal flats on the north bank of the river, winding like a snake, as if leading his 30,000 horsemen to attack from north to south.

Theoretically, as long as 30,000 horsemen are able to rush and run effectively, they can cut off Guan Yu's headquarters in one fell swoop, divide it into several sections, make it difficult to care for each other, and drive this ace army of the Han army into the icy water to take a bath.

"Da Sima, it's already six o'clock in the afternoon."

Zhu Zan, a confidant and confidant, came to remind him that the clouds and mist above his head gradually dispersed, and the miserable white sun fell on this land, and the time could be judged from the height of the sun.

Cao Zhen didn't reply, and asked, "Can the Beifu soldiers make a move?" ”

"Not really."

Zhu Zan couldn't help but have a toothache, and his face was tangled: "I must be worried about the prestige of the Great Sima, so I don't dare to move lightly." ”

This is very reasonable, the Beifu soldiers are as easy and stable as Mount Tai, they have more than 30,000 horsemen in their hands, and Xiahou Shang and Cao Xiu have 100,000 troops in their hands, and it is good that the Beifu soldiers do not move, if they participate in the war, Cao Xiu and Xiahou Shang in the east will definitely rush to participate in the war.

As long as the Beifu soldiers were stationed there and did not move, Cao Xiu and Xiahou Shang would not dare to stride the foot army.

Otherwise, it will be dragged into a tired army, and the Beifu soldiers will turn around and rush over, and the 100,000 troops of Xiahou Shang and Cao Xiu will be over.

It is precisely because of the initiative in hand that the Beifu soldiers can remain motionless on the battlefield, and the various units of the Wei army are out of breath.

The soldiers of Beifu did not move, and the more than 10,000 people arranged by Zhu Shuo on the road did not dare to move lightly, and the 20,000 foot cavalry brought by Sima Yi and Fei Yao did not dare to move lightly, and they restrained 30,000 of their own side.

Therefore, there are more than 20,000 people who are really fighting on the battlefield now, and more than 40,000 people are Zhu Zan, Cao Zhang, Guo Huai, and Dai Ling.

Cao Zhen stared at Guan Yu's orderly attack on the seventeen marching phalanxes, where there were still three cavalry phalanxes slowing down.

Tian Xin was in a hurry and then stabilized, and Guan Yu, who came to reinforce, was also stable, but he sent a hastily marching partial army to cut off his own rear road.

With the shock of the cavalry, it was difficult to impulsively stand up in a steady infantry formation.

can't fight the Beifu soldiers, nor can they fight Guan Yu, the only two can fight the two, is it Zhang Fei who is rushing forward, or Liu Bei in the rear?

Fighting Liu Bei has a miraculous effect, the water pontoon bridge still exists, and after Guan Yu passes, his own brigade takes the pontoon bridge and goes to the Chinese army array that assaults Liu Bei.

Another battle for Xiaoyaojin?

But if he can't break through Liu Bei's Chinese army and is entangled, then Guan Yu's arrival on the battlefield will cause the armies of Sima Yi and Zhu Shuo to collapse, and 60,000 or 70,000 Wei troops will be captured and beheaded by the Han army.

At that time, he was deeply trapped on the south bank, and the various units of the Han army turned around to attack, and one-tenth of his own troops could not escape.

Annihilated his own 100,000 cavalry, the entire Luoyang garrison was less than 10,000 people, and the three passes of Yique were still unable to hold on, let alone the extremely large-scale Luoyang City.

The bigger the city, the more defenders are needed.

If the attack on Liu Bei loses, then everything will be over, and the Great Wei court will collapse and collapse in great panic.

Cao Zhen looked up at the white sun in the sky, and exhaled a white breath: "Follow me to the east!" ”

"Whoa!"

Dozens of horsemen escorted Cao Zhen to the east, galloping horses, twenty miles to the east, Cao Zun controlled 20,000 horsemen on standby.

There were also 10,000 horsemen lurking everywhere, gathered by Zhu Zan, urging them to march eastward, and would be the last Wei army to arrive on the battlefield.

At this time, Liu Bei marched across the Lishui Bridge, and out of some caution, there were still two battalions of soldiers left in the Sun Lang military camp of the Lishui Bridge to respond and take precautions.

On the edge of the original Wankou Daying, Cai Yan saw more and more immigrants pouring in from the east and migrating to Nanyang along the Chi Road.

Among them, there were many Wei soldiers wearing armor, and most of them were mixed with the township party and relatives.

When passing through Liu Bei's camp, these Wei soldiers took off their armor and threw it on the ground, and the armor was piled up like a hill.

There are also many people who have migrated to Yanyu to learn that their fathers, brothers, and children have died in battle, or they are wearing filial piety scarves, or crying and sobbing, and they are mourning all the way.

Wu Ban, the general of the large battalion, stared at the relocated people, and looked at the Wei soldiers who had discarded their armor and joined their families and the township party, squinting from time to time.
