In a battle on the north bank of the Yangtze River, Zhang Fei had a new understanding of the combat power of the Yan army, not only could not be compared with the soldiers of Long Xiang, I am afraid that even if the Danyang soldiers under the command of the second brother and the eldest brother Bai Er could not take advantage of them, the Yan army was well-trained, well-equipped, and experienced in actual combat, and was the most powerful opponent they had encountered! When planning this battle, the eldest brother and the military advisor had already made a high estimate of their combat strength, but judging from the actual battle in front of them, this estimate was still slightly lower.

Yan Zhang Fei has never been a person who is arrogant, even in the face of the powerful Yan army, he can't let the fighting spirit and confidence in his heart be reduced in the slightest, but in addition to the surprise attack on the enemy's water village under construction, understanding the real combat power of the other party is also the main purpose, after all, Liu Bei has almost never officially been an enemy with Liu Yi, and the experience of fighting with the battle array is pitiful! No matter how strong the Yan army is known to the world, it will never be able to have a deep understanding without experiencing it personally. As a senior general, Zhang Fei's assessment of the enemy's combat strength is naturally very pertinent, and any deviation will be detrimental to the future. Fortunately, what he is facing is still the Yan Army's ace Long Xiang Army, if this is the case, it will be even more terrifying.

The combat power of the Yan army exceeded the expectations of Kong Ming and others, not that they did not have extensive knowledge, but in fact, many of Liu Yi's army building concepts and methods have gone beyond the scope of this era, and the soldiers have been able to update not only more powerful equipment, but also ahead of this era in terms of ideology! However, Yangzhou's determination in this raid also exceeded the other party's expectations, at least several famous generals were dispatched for such a raid is Zang Ba's surprise, Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong have already appeared here, and Guan Yu, the first general of the Yangzhou army, Guan Yunchang, may not be far away.

When Guan Yu commanded six thousand Danyang elite soldiers out of the Yiyang Trail, it was the inseparable moment when Zhang Fei and Zang Ba led the army to fight, and he did not encounter the frontal interception of Zang Ba's army like the third brother, but less than three miles out of the trail, the surprise attack of the Yan army cavalry was unexpected. The terrain here is much more open than the riverside, it is very conducive to the cavalry attack, but it is already night at this time, the possibility of wanting to line up and impact is very small, the enemy is the number of cavalry shooting, their formation is scattered back and forth, and a rain of arrows will continue to sprinkle the Yangzhou army, and the Danyang elite is also in a moment of panic, more than 100 soldiers have been killed by the opponent's arrows, and the dead and wounded are all there.

"Extinguish the torches, Ping'er, you outflank the enemy on the left flank, you must do it quickly, Zhong Ye Ru is in charge of the Chinese army, and he personally goes to the right flank, the speed of the enemy's cavalry is difficult to play in the night, once its two wings are forced back by me, you will wave the army again!" Guan Yu's attack on the Yan Army Scout Cavalry was arranged as the first priority, the essence of the surprise attack was to surprise the enemy, if he let him take precautions first, the suddenness would be much more discolored, in his opinion, the soldiers under his command were excellent to complete this task, although the vigilance and individual quality of the Yan Army Scout Cavalry were very high, but they could not escape capture.

Even when he was counterattacked by the other party at this time, he did not have the slightest doubt about his judgment, although he didn't know how the other party knew that he was leading the army, but from the fact that the enemy army was a cavalry army and the number was not large, he could already deduce that the other party had only judged that he had come to attack on the Yiyang Trail a moment ago. Otherwise, it will never be the cavalry army who ambushes himself here in the night, but the elite foot soldiers of the Longxiang army! And the opponent's arrow had just shot a round, Guan Yu reacted immediately, and his response speed was also very fast.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang both knew in their hearts that the overall strength of the Yangzhou army could not be compared with the Yan army, even if Liu Yi poured his efforts into Hanzhong and Yanzhou, the remaining forces of Xuzhou alone were not under their own side, so that the largest local concentration of forces to raid it became the best strategy for the first battle, because of its danger can be minimized, and the success will greatly shock the morale of Yangzhou, that is, it may not be possible to further understand the opponent's combat strength under the premise of self-preservation. Therefore, in this battle, not only Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong were all three famous generals, but also Wen Ping and Guan Ping were among them.

"Good Guan Yunchang, no wonder my father respects him so much, it really deserves his reputation, the big man pressed me to the formation, I will go to meet this person today, and see what is unique about his martial arts to be above my third uncle!" Taking advantage of the keen sense that Zhao Wuxian was far beyond ordinary people, Liu Xin took the first step to grasp the movement of Guan Yu's infantry coming, and also made arrangements in advance, but just as Yun Chang judged, the time left for Liu Xin to arrange was too little, and it was difficult to be thorough and detailed.

Cavalry archery is of course an effective tactic for cavalry to deal with foot soldiers, but it is difficult to master this difficult tactic without years of hard work, even the people in the cavalry battalion of the Longxiang Army who are proficient in this technique are only hundreds, not to mention that they have to attack the enemy in the dark night, and it is enough to kill and injure hundreds of people on the other side is enough to show the combat power of the cavalry battalion, and then when you want to make a difference, the enemy's response is instantaneous, Guan Yu is experienced and calm on the battlefield, and commanding the Danyang elite soldiers under his command is also like an arm.

Xuzhou Danyang is the most famous place to produce spearmen in the late Han Dynasty, when the princes discussed Dong, Cao Cao and Liu Yi had an in-depth comment on the soldiers under the command of the princes, in addition to the two of them, only Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's soldiers under the command of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, of course, there will be no shortage of this Danyang elite soldier under the command of Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, if it comes to combat experience, I am afraid that the Danyang soldiers at that time will be above Liu Cao.

Following the white horse general Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei's three brothers were defeated with him in the battle of Motianling, Gongsun Bogui was captured by Liu Yisheng, and Liu Xuande fought his way out of the encirclement under the protection of Guan Yu and Zhang Feili to join Tao Qian, and then took his place in Xuzhou. The three brothers of Dong and Liu Bei were involved in it, and they were also impressed by the combat power of the Danyang soldiers. At that time, Liu Bei's troops were only 60,000, almost half of which were in this Danyang County, and Guan Yu had always been in charge of their drills. In the past few years, Danyang soldiers have been more refined by its drills, and their actual combat experience is also extremely rich.

In the dark night, it is difficult to look far away, but the torches used for lighting by the infantry army are bright targets, so Guan Yu's first military order is to extinguish the torches to avoid the enemy cavalry from using this as a basis to attack their own soldiers, and the impact of the cavalry can not be fully exerted in the dark night, and the Yan army in front of them is a loose formation that is conducive to cavalry guerrilla, which makes the outflanking method of the infantry army have a place to be implemented. All this is common sense knowledge for the general, and it is not difficult for the general, but it is not possible for ordinary generals to make the most effective response in the shortest possible time in the case of a sudden attack, and this is the only place that Guan Yu's generals can see.

As the wolf king of the mountains and forests, Liu Yi's eyesight is far beyond ordinary people, even the night does not have much impact on him, as his son Liu Xin's eyesight can not be compared with his father, but more or less also has some genetics, so as soon as Guan Yu led the army to arrive, he has already set his eyes on the outstanding majestic figure, at this time, seeing that the opponent's foot soldiers are extremely agile and outflanked in two ways, he ordered the cavalry to retreat a little longer and continue the guerrilla delay, and he personally met the front.

It is not only Lin Xue, the commander of the cavalry battalion, who ranks ahead of Zhao Yun above the Fengyun general spectrum, but also the second son Liu Xin, but it is rarely too obvious, everything is just in his heart. Zhao Yun and Liu Xin are by no means as simple as the third uncle, and they can be said to be his mentors! Now imitated from his father's blood dragon halberd created by the master Xu Gang in hand, the second son's blood dragon halberd method and blood dragon six strikes have a deep attainment, Qingzhou and Cao Zhang have been used in a battle, this set of halberd method and six tricks is the Liu family era of the battle array mastery, and then Liu Yi to the turnip is even more powerful! However, the foundation of Liu Xin's ability is that the third uncle has laid it when he was a child, and the second son of the second son is still above his eldest brother Liu Huan, Zhao Yun is even more fond of it, and the supervision is strict At the same time, he also teaches his own skills, and the style of bird Chaofeng is also very powerful in Liu Xin's hands.

When he was thirteen years old, Liu Xin was already able to compete with him in the competition with the Yan army, and all the generals who had fought with the second son praised his talent and combat power, if they would see the identity of the second son, then the battle with Wei Yan was the full embodiment of Liu Xin's strength! After nearly two years of hard work, until the battle of Qingzhou, the second prince finally ushered in the first battle of his battle array, although the tiger idiot Xu Chu was snatched away by Zhao Wuxian first made him quite angry, but he also knew that this was a piece of kindness from the big man, and the remaining opponent was also full of weight, and he was called the most outstanding martial arts general in the rising generation, Cao Mengde's third son Huang Xuer Cao Zhang, the two of them seemed to be destined to be enemies from birth!

That big battle was hard to distinguish between victory and defeat, but afterwards Liu Xin felt that his actual combat experience was too weak, if he let himself meet that Huang Xu'er again, he would not let him get away as easily as he did that day, and he was full of confidence in defeating this fierce rival The second son was full of confidence after carefully analyzing the previous battle between the two. However, although Cao Zhang is the son of Cao Cao, the most brave person among the younger generation can be compared with Guan Yu, who ranks second in the eighteenth place of the Fengyun General, is obviously a step worse, and being able to fight with such a martial artist is exactly what Liu Xin wants! Of course, at this time, he is not blindly fighting with him, but according to the situation of the battle, if he can entangle Guan Yunchang, it can not only boost his morale, but also win enough time for his comrades behind him, otherwise he will not shout that Zhao Wuxian will step forward together, as long as it is conducive to the overall situation, the second prince will not care about attacking with the big man, Guan Yu has this qualification, and besides, didn't he also join forces with Zhang Fei to deal with his father back then?
