"Guo Meng and retreat, wait for someone to fight Zhang Liao!"

While galloping, Duan Xuan raised his voice and shouted, beckoning Guo Meng to return to the battle, and he fought against Zhang Liao.

"Bell!"

In the fierce collision of the war knives, the blades were clear and there was a buzzing sound.

Zhang Liao and Guo Meng returned to their horses again and rushed together, the two horses were facing each other, the two war knives were intertwined and holding each other, and the two people on horseback also met together.

Holding Zhang Liao's sword, Guo Meng approached Zhang Liao sideways and said in a low voice: "Brother Wenyuan, today's battle is really enjoyable, and the junior brother has thanked him first." The person behind me must also know you, Huayin Guard General Duan Xuan, this person is known as the 'five-step snake' in the army, insidious and vicious, and my brother must be careful when he fights him later. According to what my uncle said, don't look at Duan Xuan easily out of the limelight and be low-key, but his martial arts are unfathomable, and he is probably not under my uncle. The three-pronged and two-edged sword in his hand is extremely strange, and anyone who has fought with him has either been defeated and retreated early, or his body is in a different place, and there is still no life under his sword. ”

"Thank you Brother Xian for mentioning it, I wrote it down for my brother." So far, Zhang Liao has always been noncommittal to the title of "Brother Wenyuan" in Guo Meng's mouth, and it is not until this moment that he recognizes Guo Meng's brother.

In fact, although Guo Meng was the nephew of General Guo Yan of Xiliang, Zhang Liao did not know him before, never dealt with him, and did not take him seriously. But through the hundreds of rounds of battles just now, Zhang Liao has encountered a person with strong martial arts like Guo Meng, who is bold and honest by nature, and Zhang Liao has encountered it for the first time. Don't fight and don't know each other, under a hearty confrontation, Zhang Liao's good impression of Guo Meng increased dramatically, and he deeply felt that this person was kind-hearted, loyal and sincere, and worthy of friendship.

Guo Meng turned his head to look at Duan Xuan, who was getting closer and closer, and said urgently: "The little brother has something to ask for." Please Brother Wenyuan must take care of my uncle, say a few kind words for me in front of Brother Wenchang, and don't hurt my uncle's life. Take care, brother! ”

After seeing Zhang Liao nodding in agreement, Guo Meng swung his knife to shake Zhang Liao's war knife away, and immediately beat the horse and left.

"A certain is Huayin Duan simmering, Zhang Liaoxiu is leaving, and a certain is coming to fight you!"

Just as Zhang Liao turned around, Duan Xuan rode his horse and attacked. Before the battle, he also reported his name to avoid an undeclared war between the two armies. It is honest and criticized.

"War is a battle, Zhang has nothing to fear!" He turned around and was mistaken for a cowardly battle by Duan Xuan, and suddenly Zhang Liao's eyes were cold, and he turned around. With a roar of rage, the prancing horse raised his sword and rushed towards Duan Xuan.

"Bang Bang!"

The iron-backed sword and the three-pronged two-edged knife met in the air. There was a loud bang. Zhang Liao swung his sword and clashed with Duan Xuan, who was galloping, five times. Immediately, the horses of the two sides staggered by, and the first battle came to an end.

Under the first encounter, Zhang Liao's right arm holding the sword was paralyzed, his chest shook slightly, and he felt quite depressed, as if a blood qi was condensed in his chest. And the mouth of his right hand with a knife had already cracked. Blood stained the hilt of the knife, and the bright red blood slowly squirmed along the hilt.

At this moment, Zhang Liao deeply felt that what Guo Meng said was true. Duan Xuan is indeed very tight, both in terms of strength and speed. He was slightly better than himself.

If you fight for a long time, you will lose. Zhang Liao had fought with Guo Meng for one hundred and seventy-three rounds before, and his strength was quite consumed, but now he was fighting against Duan Xuan, and he suffered a big loss at first glance. In the battle just now, he had reservations, and only used eight points of strength to fight against Duan Xuan, in fact, he intended to test Duan Xuan's martial arts and liliang. didn't think about it, but if he was careless, he was injured by Duan Xuan. It can be seen that Guo Meng's statement that Duan Xuan is insidious and vicious is by no means hearsay, but a good word.

Go back to the horse and fight again. This time, Zhang Liao really learned a lesson, and had no reservations, and fought against Duan Xuan with a horizontal knife.

"Boom!"

"Da Da Da!"

With a loud roar, Zhang Liao's volley of war knives was held up by the knives and forks on Duan Xuan's war knives. Immediately, but seeing that the handle of Duan Xuan's sword was flipped, the three prongs under the two-edged war knife instantly pried Zhang Liao's war knife, and the two war knives were intertwined, volleying in the air, turning up and down. Suddenly, the war horses under the crotches of the two were forced to turn around and run in parallel, and suddenly the two war horses marched in unison, the horse's hooves were flying, and the horse's body collided and kicked sideways from time to time. And Zhang Liao and Duan Xuan on horseback both held the handle of the knife with both hands, and the two intertwined war knives flew in the air, sometimes relative to each other, sometimes close, but they could never break free. As the knives entwined straight, the mounts under the crotches of the two men collided with each other, and the two men on horseback swung their elbows sideways and slammed into each other.

After the two horses were walking parallel for dozens of steps, Duan Xuan suddenly reversed the battle knife, causing Zhang Liao's body to pull the battle knife hard and suddenly the center of gravity was unstable, and his upper body instantly leaned sideways.

In an instant, Duan Xuan swung his knife like lightning, and the three-pronged and two-edged war knife swept out, directly attacking Zhang Liao's waist and abdomen on the horse's back.

This is the method used by the five-step snake to hunt its prey, first striking rapidly, and if the blow fails, it will hover with each other, and wait until the right time to surprise and kill with a fatal blow. Five-step snake, no killing moves, once the killing opportunity is revealed, it will strive for a quick victory, never delay.

Duan Xuan is called the "five-step snake", which is by no means groundless and famous, but a veritable insidious and ruthless.

At the critical juncture, seeing Zhang Liao's backward body slipping down, facing Duan Xuan's side of the single leg raised, he instantly received the other side of the horse's back, hooked the unilateral horse pedal with one foot, and the war knife that came out was inserted diagonally into the ground behind him, supporting the entire body. In an instant, Zhang Liao kicked the horse's belly, supported the big knife with both hands, his body was horizontal in the air, and the blade supported on the ground cut through the soil and ran with the war horse for more than ten steps, and even dodged the killing knife that Duan Xuan slashed horizontally.

"Up!"

As the war horse under Duan Xuan's crotch galloped forward, Zhang Liao narrowly escaped the catastrophe. Then he let out a loud shout, gritted his teeth and bent the war knife supported under him, hooked the horse pedal with one foot, and then the force of the war knife rebounded, jumped up, and sat on the horse's back again.

It's too late, it's too soon.

The whole process of dodging Duan Xuan's killing knife is actually a blink of an eye. But at this moment, it took Zhang Liao's great strength, his whole body was tense, and almost all the strength in his body was used.

The moment he jumped on the horse, Zhang Liao was physically and mentally exhausted, sweating profusely, and the beads of sweat on his forehead rolled down, covering his eyes like a curtain of water.

"General Wen Yuan, step aside, watch me Yang Ding kill Duan Xuan thief!"

Just when Zhang Liao was about to beat his horse and gallop back to his own formation, Yang Ding happened to run to the front of the formation, and in the midst of a loud shout, he raised his horse and rushed towards Duan Xuan, who was returning to the horse to kill.

"Whew--"

Wiping the sweat from his face, Zhang Liao saw Yang Ding galloping past him, and suddenly exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and his frightened heart finally landed. Then he wiped two handfuls of sweat again, took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and galloped towards his own army. On the way back, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yang Ding, who was fighting with Duan Xuan. Although he had not known Yang Ding for a long time and had never had any contact with him before, he could see that Yang Ding's martial arts were not much stronger than his own, and even slightly inferior.

And how Duan Xuan's martial arts are, Zhang Liao already has a bottom in his heart, this person is a veritable top general, a mid-level powerhouse, a few points stronger than Guo Yan and Guo Meng's uncle and nephew before. If the person who played Duan Xuan this time was a top general like Tatar and a mid-level peak general, then Zhang Liao would not be worried at all, and would even secretly rejoice that Duan Xuan was in trouble. But the person who fought on his side was Yang Ding, so I was afraid that it would be more than lucky.

"In the end, there will be high hopes for the lord, and the battle will be unfavorable, please punish the lord!" Returning to the front of the military formation, Zhang Liao leed his horse in front of Li Li's mount and said with a guilty face.

Li Li showed a smile between his eyebrows, and said with a pleasant face: "Wen Yuan fought Guo Meng nearly two lilies, repelled Guo Meng, and then fought Duan Xuan can also retreat with his whole body, what is the crime." Go and rest for a while, there will be a tough battle to fight later, and rushing to kill in the battle array is your Zhang Wenyuan's housekeeping skill! ”

"Thank you for your magnanimity. It's just that Yang Ding led the battle Duan Xuan, I'm afraid that his strength will not be enough, and it will be difficult to win. The simmering martial arts are still above the last general, and the three-pronged and two-edged combat knife in his hand is even more bizarre and powerful. Please also ask the lord to send another good general to kill Duan Xuan! After Zhang Liao received the order, he couldn't bear it, so he advised Li Li to send a fierce general to fight again in exchange for Yang Ding.

After Li Li heard this, his sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Well, I have my own plans, so you can go back to the battle and rest." ”

Before Zhang Liao returned to the left flank formation, Jia Xu said in a low voice: "What Wen Yuan said is good. Yang Dingfang came out of the battle just right, and indirectly rescued Wen Yuan, which was a success. Although Yang Ding's martial arts are good, they are still inferior to Zhiwen Yuan, so they are naturally difficult to defeat Duan Xuan. Please think twice. ”

"Anyway, although Yang Ding fought out of personal anger, he also contributed to rescuing Wen Yuan in time. But let's wait for him to fight, the battle is not child's play, he is so grudgeful, it is necessary to make him vigilant, otherwise he will not be able to repeat the mistakes of the past in the future. Li Li thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Jia Xu echoed: "The lord is wise. In the Xiliang Army, there are not a few people who have personal grievances like Yang Ding and Duan Xuan, if all the generals are like them in the future and do not know the overall situation, they will report it, and sooner or later there will be trouble. ”

"Personal grudges?" Li Li groaned and said, "Where is the personal grudge, it is clearly the heart of greed!" These generals were all heavy generals under Dong Zhuo before, and now that Dong Zhuo is dead, these people are ready to move, impetuous, but all the generals who have a little soldiers and horses in their hands want to worship the generals and enjoy the glory and wealth. The ambition of the horseman, the eyes of the rat. This unhealthy trend must be curbed, otherwise hundreds of thousands of Xiliang soldiers will be disheartened, have no fighting spirit, and everyone will forget their righteousness for the sake of profit, what else can they do? If this continues, the Xiliang army will die sooner or later, and these generals will eventually be strangled by the Kwantung princes! ”

After Jia Xu heard this, his expression was greatly lifted, and he admonished: "The lord's words hit the nail on the head and hit the nail on the head. The subordinates suggested that after this battle, the Xiliang Army must be comprehensively reorganized, broken up and reorganized, and all the middle and low-level generals above the commander of Fantun should be re-selected, and the generals of the original Xiliang Army should be transferred to each county on the basis of merit, and the generals who stayed in Chang'an should only leave the main general. In addition, the official positions and titles of the generals should not be too high, so as not to lose the tail. ”

"Hmm." Li Li groaned lightly, as if he was noncommittal to Jia Xu's words, and seemed to have adopted his advice. ―――――― (To be continued)(To be continued......
