Chapter 727: Jiangzhou Fighting General
Yan Yan's move is by no means a momentary move, the fall of Shangyong and Badong and the two places is quite a heavy blow to the morale of the Yizhou army, even if he wants to defend steadily, he must first improve the morale of the army, according to Wu Yi's words, the Yizhou army has little chance of winning in a head-on battle with the Cao army, then the most effective way in front of him is to fight the general! If he can defeat Xiahoudun or equalize with him, it will bring great confidence to the soldiers, which will be of great benefit to the Yizhou army's next step of perseverance and peep attack.
"Xiahou Dun of Qiaojun, the character Yuan Rang, the younger brother of Cao Mengde, the general of the expedition to the west, the Xuantie Wujin gun in his hand is ever-changing, invincible, and one of the four fierce generals in the world." This is the description of Xiahou Dun, the main general of the Cao army under the city, on the spectrum of Fengyun, he ranks sixteenth on the spectrum of the wind and clouds, and is listed as one of the four fierce generals with the evil Dian Wei, Jinfan Ganning, and Jiujiang Zhou Tai, and it is indeed called brave and peerless, as early as when the princes were discussing Dong, he became famous, and in the battle of Yanzhou, he fought more than 60 battles with the general Donglai Taishi Ci under the account of Liu Yi, the king of Yan, and he did not know the victory or defeat, and he was a few people in the Cao camp!
As a general, Wu Yong is still second, this person's ability to command the army can not be underestimated, Cao Cao has always been with Yu Ban, Le Jin, Xiahou Yuan and others, every time the battle is extremely important, in addition to the trust between relatives, Xiahou Yuan's general is undoubted, before he and his Xiahou Yuan together to reinforce Jizhou Yuan Shao, and the battle of Liyang Liu Yi personally ordered Xu Huang's Long Xiang army to fight against it, which shows that in his heart, this person can also be compared with Xu Gongming.
Characters like this must be strong enemies, but Yan Yan is even more excited about it, there are different opinions about who the wind and clouds will come from, but the accuracy of its description is well known, who doesn't admire the peerless martial arts of Liu Yi, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Xu Chu and others? But none of the generals in Shu can be listed, but they are quite unconvinced, and Yan Yan, who is known as a double with Zhang Ren's cold spring gun in Yizhou with a Jiufeng Chaoyang Knife, is even more so, he is convinced that he has the strength to rank among them.
In addition to his confidence in his own martial arts from a strategic point of view, Yan Yan dared to fight with Xiahoudun There is also a certain basis, which is from another general in Shuzhong, Zhang Ren Zhang Jiyuan, or from his master Dahan Gun Wang Tongyuan! Now the old man is over seventy years old but still in good health, after living in Youzhou, he also takes pleasure in traveling the world, he has received three apprentices in his life, the eldest is Luoyang Taishou Zhang Ji's son Zhang Xiu Zhang Gongxing, the youngest is Liu Yi's sworn brother Changshan Zhao Zilong! At this time, Zhang Xiu, as the deputy commander of the Yanyun Battalion, led the army to sit in the Tiger Prison Pass, and was one of the important generals of Liu Yijun, not to mention Zhao Yun, the general of Jizhou Assassin Shihou, commanded hundreds of thousands of elites, and was also the most valued disciple of the old man's life, in addition to King Yan, he was also the only one who could be equal to the unequaled tiger general Lu Fengxian!
In addition to these two people, the rest is the famous general Ba Jun in Shu is too shou Zhang Ren, the old man will naturally not forget his love for the apprentice, Yizhou has also become a natural stop for him to travel the world, after seeing the apprentice's martial arts, he will also have comments, in Tong Yuan's mouth, Zhang Ren's marksmanship has reached a very high level, and it is still slightly above the first apprentice Zhang Xiu, and can compete with Zhang Jun, the general of the Youzhou Army, for the short length of the day! However, limited to talent, he still has some gaps compared to Zhao Yun.
Zhang Ren will not disbelieve the words of the master, like Zhao Yun, he lost his father at a young age, and he already regarded the master who taught him as a father in his heart, Tong Yuan's arrival undoubtedly made Zhang Ren extremely happy in his heart, and his evaluation was also very recognized, after all, Liu Yi is recognized as the first tiger general today, which even the brave generals above the spectrum will not deny, in addition to Liu Yi, who is worthy of the joint efforts of Guan Zhang and Hebei Shuangxiong? Even if he is defeated by Lang Sheng, it will never damage his reputation, Cao Mengde once said, "Liu Yi is by no means invincible!" ”
And the only person who can make Liu Yi publicly admit that he can be equal to him is the third brother Zhao Yun, which is extremely recognized by all the Youzhou army generals, including Gan Ning, you must know that with the addition of Yan Liangwen Chou and Ma Chao, more than half of the eighteen generals are in the Youzhou army, and in terms of martial arts alone, they are the strongest deservedly! Even with Zhang Ren's conceit, even if he didn't have the words of his master, he would not think that he had the strength to compete with Liu Yi, the first general of the wind and clouds, and living below his junior brother would not make him have the heart to bend down, but he would be such a strong general and honored as a teacher!
These Zhang Ren told Yan Yan unreservedly in the usual discussions, Tong Yuan's vision will not be questioned, although Zhang Jiyuan's failure to be among the Fengyun spectrum may be more related to his reputation, but his martial arts in Tong Yuan's mouth can be compared with Zhang He, and Jun Yi's ranking in the Fengyun spectrum is still above Xiahoudun! It can be seen that Zhang Ren's martial arts will never be under Xiahou Yuan, and his own strength, which is similar to his strength, will definitely have the power to fight with Xiahou Yuanrang under the city!
Although the Fengyun generals have a ranking order, but the difference in force between the top masters is only a millimeter, Gan Ning Ganxingba, who ranked eighth in the Battle of Jizhou, can fight with the evil Dian Wei who ranks fifth for a day and a night, and no one can say that they can win, and also in the Battle of Liyang, Liu Yi and Wen Chou, who are not in good shape, can still distinguish the victory and defeat outside the two lilies! In such a top showdown, in addition to martial arts and equestrianism, there are many other factors, the veteran Yan Yan has been in Shu for many years, except for Zhang Ren, there is no parallel to it, and now the arrival of Xiahoudun makes him particularly excited, and the state of the battle has reached an excellent point, and he can fight with it!
"The old general is really extraordinary, even so, tomorrow Yi will go out of the city with the general to cheer for the general!" Wu Yi did not have the slightest doubt about the martial arts of the veteran Yan Yan, he had a contest with him when he first entered the military camp, but he was defeated under the Jiufeng Chaoyang knife in only thirty rounds, and Yan Yan's intention to fight was well known in his heart, and he said it with anger at the moment!
"Okay, tomorrow the old man will go down to the city with General Wu to meet the Xuantie Wujin Gun of Xiahou Yuanrang, and see which is better or worse with the old man's Jiufeng Chaoyang Knife!" Yan Yan said categorically.
Early the next morning, the gate of Jiangzhou City was opened, the Yizhou soldiers came out in a row, the veteran Yan Yan was draped in majesty, the nine phoenix swords in his hands were shining with cold light, and the barley horse was incomparable, and a sword mountain and gun forest behind him were shining under the scorching sun, last night's words were by no means boastful, although they were slightly inferior to the elite of the Cao army, but the soldiers trained by the old general could also be called a strong army of the Han Dynasty!
At this time, someone had already gone to the camp to spread the word that Xiahou Xuan, the chief general of the Cao army, even if there was a deputy general Han Hao who asked for his life to fight, claiming that he didn't need to slaughter chickens with a knife, why should an old man worry about it? Shuzhong sent this person to fight, and there was no one! But Xiahoudun has been in battle for a long time, and when he thinks about it, he knows the intention of Yan Yan's move, and it is indeed the best strategy for a soldier at this time, and he can act with such a vision, and this person should not be underestimated!
Knowing that his prestige still dares to challenge outspokenly, Yan Yan's ambition also aroused Xiahou Dan's fighting spirit, after all, in addition to being a general, he is also a top martial artist, such a fierce general will not waver in his confidence, knowing that the other party must have something to give in, how can he back down, even the courage of the tiger can only let him work hard to hone his martial arts, but he is not afraid at all when he fights, maybe the only one in this world who can make Xiahou Dun avoid without fighting is Liu Yi, even Zhao Yun has no such might! Knowing that this old man is not good, how can he give him a chance to boost his morale? Han Hao's two hands he knew well, of course, he wouldn't say such words on his lips, he just said that this person named himself to fight, and if he was killed, his morale would be like a rainbow!
Want to boost your morale by fighting a certain battle? It's a good idea, but it depends on whether you have excellent skills under your hands! Xiahoudun did not hesitate, and immediately put on his armor and raised 10,000 infantry troops to line up the battle in front of the enemy.
Jiangzhou City under the two formations, both sides also saw the opponent under the other party's big gun, secretly vigilant in their hearts, in Yan Yan's eyes, but seeing Xiahou Dun's momentum with a spear, he knew that it was extraordinary, and in Yuan Rang's view, although the opposite general was quite old, his fighting spirit was extremely high! Although it has half a hundred muscles and bones, it is extremely strong, no wonder you dare to come and challenge yourself!
"Hahahaha, it seems that there is really no one in the Yizhou army, and he actually sent a white-headed old man to fight with someone? Old man Yan is not happy to make grandchildren at home because of your age, but you come to compete on this battle array? Do you want to kill yourself? A certain family has the intention of pity for the elderly, hurry up and get off the horse with me, please surrender, you can spare your life and continue to reunite with your family, if not, today is your death! Seeing Yan Yan slapping the horse and dancing the knife out, Xiahou Dun was also a prancing horse with a spear to greet him, but before he got to the battle, he laughed and said, this is not that he looks down on the opponent, on the contrary, he will not underestimate the enemy in his heart, how can he not see the momentum of the enemy general who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, the meaning of this statement is to provoke the opponent so that he can take advantage of the battle in the future, the veteran Yan Yan is one of the two famous generals in Shu, if he can be cut on the battlefield, he will be able to make the enemy army lose heart, so as to help the main public soldiers!
"Xiahou Xiao'er will only talk wildly and deceive others? A thief like you, Yan Mou, has slashed countless times under the knife of Jiufeng, and today he can let him drink the blood between your neck, hahahaha, once today's passes, there will be one less person on the spectrum! Your brother Cao Mengde is a wolf, so he will cut off his minions first, and then take his head! Xiahou Xiao'er, it's too late for you to dismount and surrender. Yan Yan has been in the army for many years, how can he easily provoke the anger of the enemy general, and at the moment he also spoke in a deep voice, his power is not inferior to the other party by half a point, and he looks up to the sky and smiles, looking like he did not put Xiahou in his eyes!
"Your lord Liu Jiyu is just a guinea dog, and he dares to occupy Dahanzhou County, the old puppet Hugh wants to take advantage of his tongue, and whoever wins and who loses will know in a battle!" Xiahoudun said unmoved, generals like them are extremely calm when they are in battle, and their anger will only affect their own performance, of course, this is also in the case of equal strength or little difference, if the opponent changes Liu Yi, Yuan Rang will never have such words!
"If you want to fight, you will fight, how can the old man be afraid of you, look at the knife!" Yan Yan shouted, and the Jiufeng Chaoyang Sword was held high in the air and slashed away at Xiahou Xuan's face!
