Of course, Zhang Jiao would not meet with Li Yi to negotiate, although he also wanted to see what the man who brought the danger of destruction to Taiping Dao and the Yellow Turban Army looked like. However, because of Li Yi's prestige, he did not dare to take such a risk.

Zhang Jiao has a clear understanding of how many catties and taels he has. He is not a martial arts practitioner in the first place, and he is really powerless. As for Li Yi, he is a well-known enemy of 10,000 people, and it is as easy as probing for the head of a general from which the army can take the head of a general.

Therefore, if Li Yi had bad intentions and wanted to take him down when the two were negotiating, wouldn't he be stupid?

Moreover, Zhang Jiao also knew very well that he had nothing to negotiate with Li Yi. As long as the Yellow Turban Army fails, he will inevitably die.

The imperial court will not let him go, the leader of the anti-thieves.

But in order to delay time, Zhang Jiao still asked Xiao Yan to rub time with Tian Yu and wait for Zhang Baiqi's reinforcements.

Tian Yu and Xiao Yan first broke up, and then felt that each other had similar ideas, and they were all looking for trouble to delay time, so the two simply chatted.

Tian Yu said that a few months ago, he was just a little hairy child who was still playing with mud at home. Xiao Yan was very surprised, and said that people like you can also enlist in the army and still be a military candidate? Tian Yu didn't believe him, so he told him how his father died in battle, what happened to Li Yi when he came to his house, and also took him as a student.

In the end, Tian Yu said to Xiao Yan that Li Yi, the general of Xiaocai, is not the kind of ruthless person you imagine, he is very kind, and even a little pedantic. Of the 400,000 Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou, in addition to the tens of thousands of people who died on the battlefield, the cavalry general Li Yi did not indiscriminately kill a single prisoner of the Yellow Turban Army, and even the wounded Yellow Turban Army soldiers were well treated. This is simply incredible in the eyes of ordinary people, but Li Yi, the cavalry general, seems to be a matter of course.

Tian Yu told Xiao Yan that the Yellow Turban Army in front of him, even if its leader was Zhang Jiao, if they chose to surrender, Li Yi would definitely give them a way out, and would not be as cruel and murderous as Huangfu Song.

Xiao Yan was silent.

Tian Yu then introduced to him the battles commanded by Li Yi, which of them were captured and not killed, which people participated in the Youzhou Iron Cavalry, and which people got land in Youzhou and became local residents, etc., Xiao Yan actually listened to it with relish.

About an hour later, Zhang Jiao saw that the two were still messing around, and felt that something was wrong.

Li Yi's delay in launching an attack shows that they must have something else to rely on.

Zhang Jiao immediately called back to Xiao Yan and discussed the matter with him. is mainly to speculate on what tricks Li Yi is playing and how he should deal with it.

Zhang Jiao believes that no matter what strategy Li Yi uses, he has only one purpose, and that is to eat himself. Now Li Yi knew that Zhang Baiqi's troops were coming, but he was slow to attack, indicating that he most likely wanted to drag us here.

Although there are a lot of cavalry in the enemy formation on the opposite side, Zhang Jiao subconsciously thinks that it is not the main force of the Youzhou cavalry, and it is very likely that it is just a cover laid by Li Yi, and he is planning to hide from the sky and the sea, and the real purpose is to raid Zhang Baiqi in front.

According to Zhang Jiao's guess, if the cavalry in Li Yi's formation is indeed the main force of the Youzhou cavalry, then as long as he breaks through, his cavalry must participate in the battle, even if the positional battle is greatly attributed, he has to fight. The fight is also conducive to Zhang Baiqi coming safely all the way. If not, it means that Yue Fei has already taken the cavalry to ambush Zhang Bai and rode away.

If Li Yi wants to ambush Zhang Baiqi, he must consider whether we will break through. If we break through, these thousands of infantry will become our pockets, and he will not give up. Moreover, if we break through his resistance, we are also a great threat to his cavalry. So the place of his ambush should not be too far from here. As soon as we launch a breakout battle, he can return in time.

If the main force of the cavalry of the Youzhou Army is not here, the opportunity for us to eliminate Li Yi's troops here is in front of us. After annihilating them, the army marched quickly, buying time to join Zhang Baiqi. If Li Yi ambushed Zhang Baiqi halfway, he and Zhang Bai's 20,000 horses would definitely be entangled for a while. Only if we arrive in time, we can completely encircle and annihilate him.

In terms of time, Zhang Baiqi is almost to Gehe, and now is the most appropriate time for us to launch a breakthrough battle. No matter how Li Yi designs and arranges this battle, we are now a sure winner.

Immediately, Zhang Jiao ordered the troops to attack.

The Battle of the Ge River began.

………………

Zhang Jiao's guess was indeed correct, the main force of the cavalry of the Youzhou Army was indeed not on the Gehe battlefield.

The cavalry in Li Yi's army, in fact, only the 2,000 white horse servants brought over by Gongsun Zhan, and the tun cavalry battalion, Yue cavalry battalion and Changshui battalion of the imperial court's northern army brought from Yecheng, as well as some cavalry in the private soldiers of the powerful gatelords, were jointly formed, and the total number was only more than 4,000.

At first, this huge momentum did cause a lot of confusion to Zhang Jiao, but when the battle began, everything was revealed.

………………

With gray skies, thick clouds, and no sun, the sky on this summer day looks dull and obscure.

On the hill by the Ge River, the wind was wild and rough, and the air was filled with the smell of gagging blood.

In the distance, the battle flags fluttered high, and the huge flags of various colors danced wildly in the wind, making a continuous and huge sound.

Guan Yu roared angrily, and the Blue Dragon Glaive Knife in his hand flew and slashed at the enemy's neck.

The enemy soldier roared, but without backing down, his spear stabbed ferociously into the chest of the coalition that pounced on him. At the same time, Guan Yu's Qinglong Glaive Knife chopped into the neck of the enemy soldier and entered the flesh for half a minute. Suddenly, blood burst out, spraying Guan Yu's head and face, and his jujube red face immediately turned into a purple-brown flower face, terrifying and terrifying.

Three or four Yellow Turban soldiers trampled on the corpses of their comrades, screaming to kill. Guan Yu opened his eyes angrily and hurried to meet him. He picked up the blood-drenched Qinglong Glaive Knife and slashed it horizontally. Behind him, several coalition troops, each armed with their own weapons, roared loudly, and filled his position, fighting with the surging enemy in close combat.

The hill, which is about 100 paces long, is densely packed with soldiers from both sides of the enemy. The officers and troops occupied the slope and had a slight advantage. The Yellow Turbans attacked from the bottom of the slope and went up, a little too hard. Thousands of soldiers were entangled on the slope, fighting fiercely and fiercely, and the battle was unprecedentedly fierce.

Guan Yu flew up and kicked on the chest of the enemy soldier in front of him, and the Green Dragon Glaive Knife in his hand stabbed into the abdomen of the enemy behind him.

A spear suddenly drilled out, extremely fast, and plunged straight into Guan Yu's chest. Guan Yu was shocked, there was no way to hide, and he opened his mouth and let out a scream.

Zhang Fei, who was not far away, just looked up and saw it, he didn't think about it, he shook his hand and flew out of his hand to shoot the Eight Snake Spear. The Zhangba snake spear flew in the air, like an oolong in the air, with a few beads of blood, making a dull "whirring" sound, and stabbed at the enemy soldiers who were attacking with spears.

At the moment when the spear was about to poke into Guan Yu's chest, the unsuspecting enemy soldier was pierced through the chest by the Zhangba Snake Spear, and his body took two steps back with the huge inertia force brought by the snake spear, and fell on his back.

The cold sweat on Guan Yu's body rushed out of his body at this time, and on this hot summer day, he also felt a burst of chill.

People who do not have this kind of experience of life and death hanging on the line will never understand that if you are invincible in the world in martial arts, on the battlefield of tens of thousands of people, you are just a soldier, a soldier who kills a few more enemies. Without the mutual support and protection of comrades-in-arms, without everyone's concerted efforts, without the combat experience of the team working together, and without the correct command of the generals, you will die and have no chance of survival.

Guan Yu was lucky enough to pick up a life, not only did he not see fear, but he became even more arrogant. His body shape remained unchanged, his waist was strong, and the Green Dragon Glaive Knife roared wildly with a rain of blood, and with his earth-shattering roar, it fiercely slashed at the enemy on the opposite side who had not yet stood firm.

The enemy soldier was caught off guard and was hit by a company with a knife, and fell into a pool of blood with a miserable wail. Guan Yu turned around and looked at Zhang Fei, only to see that Zhang Fei had already picked up a war knife that had been thrown on the ground, like a fierce tiger out of the box, and pounced fiercely on the enemy.

Guan Yu turned his eyes around, and the hill was full of soldiers who were fighting each other, and he couldn't see the position of the two battle lines at all. The sound of war drums, shouts, and screams filled the entire bloody battlefield. The corpses of dead soldiers littered the land, and bloody severed limbs and stumps were everywhere.

In the distance, under the battle flag, which represented the identity of the eldest brother Xiaocai general, more than a dozen huge war drums lined up were beaten at the same time, making a thunderous explosion.

"Brothers, kill ......"

Guan Yu's blood was boiling, and he raised his knife and shouted.
