Liu Bao does have two strokes and first-class skills, but this skill is not enough in front of Duan Xuan.

In the battle of the southern suburbs of Chang'an in the past, Duan Xuan fought three battles in a row, and although he was defeated in the end, he was still glorious despite defeat.

Now Liu Bao is only a first-class skill, and for ordinary generals, he may be quite strong, but in his Duan Xuan's eyes, it is not worth mentioning, and he can be killed within ten rounds.

In the battle just now, although Duan Xuan got lost for a moment and almost killed Yu Fuluo with one sword, his always cautious character instinctively drove his subordinates to show mercy. Then, if there was really no danger, Yu Fuluo didn't die after falling off the horse, which made Duan Xuan quite happy and secretly called luck. Now that he is fighting Liu Bao again, he has no such concerns, and he can completely let go of his hands and feet to kill, because Zhou Yu only told him not to kill Yu Fuluo before, but he didn't say that he couldn't kill other barbarian generals.

This is the cautious and cautious Duan Xuan, he has always been almost never in the limelight, he is rigorous, he is extremely low-key, and the things that make him famous are almost insulated from him and have nothing to do with it. He has always advocated careful sailing of the ship of ten thousand years, but he will definitely do everything Li Li commands; And Li Li did not say what he asked him to do, and he would never touch it. Even if it is a good thing to be famous in the world, he would rather sit on the sidelines than participate in it.

It is this cautious personality and low-key style that doomed Duan Xuan not to leave much ink in the annals of history, just a flash in the pan, and he was an unknown kind of person. But this short-lived feat made Duan Xuan sit on the glory and wealth of the first generation, because it was he who led his troops to capture Chang'an City, captured and killed Li Dao Manmen, and made the land of Sanfu be captured by Cao Cao. Then, Duan Xuan was able to worship the marquis, sit in Huayin, and spend his whole life in Huayin. No matter how the situation changes and how the situation in the world changes. He never moved the place, and when he was dying, he took the position of Jiuqing and sealed his wife and son.

In addition, in the official history, after Cao Cao captured the land of Sanfu in Chang'an, he seemed to be very distrustful of the Xiliang soldiers, and rarely mobilized the remnants of the surrendered Xiliang to participate in the battle. Until after the defeat of Chibi, Cao Cao's headquarters lost all his troops and horses, and he had to use the Xiliang soldiers again. Since then, Cao Wei's main soldiers and horses are the Western Liang soldiers, and then the Sima clan still relies on the Western Liang army to seize the world. was able to subvert Cao Wei Jiangshan.

It can be seen from this that a cautious general like Duan Xuan, if he was not forced to be in a hurry, he would not have taken the initiative to fight at all, let alone have the idea of raising his prestige before the battle.

That's what happened in this battle. Although Duan Xuan is not famous. He doesn't like to be in the limelight, but he attaches great importance to the actual power and soldiers in his hands. This is also the fundamental reason why he left the barracks but did not entrust military affairs to other generals. Unfortunately, he was unlucky. As soon as the front foot left, something happened to the rear foot station, which caused him to be demoted from the general who led the troops to the commander of the army. Everyone in the world wants to save face, and Duan Xuan is no exception. Faced with such a dilemma, he had to show himself well, so as to get back the lost qiē. Otherwise, he would have no face to continue to stay in the Xiliang army. How to deal with the many generals and subordinates who were once on an equal footing?

However, Duan Xuan did have the intention to win this battle, so someone was going to suffer.

At this time, Liu Bao, who rushed over head-on, was this kind of unlucky egg. The first time he fought with Tong Guò, Liu Bao mistakenly thought that Duan Xuan was just like this, and the previous heavy blow to his father Yu Fuluo was purely a fluke. In fact, he is just quite powerful, and his martial arts are not filmable. However, he didn't know that the reason why Duan Xuan was mediocre just now was not because he didn't have the ability to defeat him or kill him on the spot, but because Duan Xuan was absent-minded and uneasy, for fear that Zhou Yu would blame him. This gave Liu Bao an illusion, and subconsciously thought that Duan Xuan was lucky to defeat Yu Fuluo, thus giving him a good opportunity for Liu Bao to make a name for himself before he went out.

"Da Da Da!" When the war horse was galloping, Liu Bao and Duan Xuan had their own thoughts, but they had the same purpose, they both wanted to borrow each other's heads to realize their good wishes.

"The thief will die!" In the midst of the loud cheers, he saw Liu Bao swinging his knife on the prancing horse, and a long-handled war knife was made by him, and the slight whistling sound of the blade cutting through the air flow lingered in his ears.

"Humph!" Seeing Liu Bao so arrogant, Duan Xuan snorted coldly with disdain on his face, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse under his crotch suddenly accelerated, rushing towards him like the wind.

"Xiu ———" suddenly, the two horses rushed head-on, Liu Bao took the lead, and waved the war knife with both hands and went straight to Duan Xuanxiang's head to attack. The sound of the frantic blade breaking through the air, cutting off the air flow, swept across with a thousand great forces, and as the war knife approached rapidly, a sharp whistling sound sounded in Duan Xuan's ears, making him clearly feel the cold and murderous aura on the blade.

The moment the horse's head was wrong, Duan Xuan's body suddenly tilted, and he flew off the horse like lightning, making Liu Bao confidently lose the target with a horizontal slash, thus hitting the air with a single sword. At this moment, Duan Xuan, who flew off the horse, did not really abandon the horse and fled, but saw that he was still hanging on one side of the horse pedal with one foot, and the other foot stood on tiptoe, and the war knife in his hand was suddenly thrown out, and the blade of the three-pointed and two-edged war knife flew straight to Liu Bao's chest.

In the flash of light, Liu Bao, who missed the knife, saw the cold attack at first glance, and his face turned pale with fright, and he subconsciously lay on his back on the horse, trying to avoid this attack. It's a pity that the distance between the two sides is too close, and the moment he saw Duan Xuan throw the war knife in his hand, the war knife was only a few feet away from his chest, and it was there in the blink of an eye; It was because he didn't have time to swing his sword to resist, so he instinctively chose to lean back to avoid, but the reaction of the person was limited after all, and it was too late to avoid it when the sword was coming.

"Poof———!" Under the sound of a muffled sharp weapon breaking his body, the three-pointed two-edged war knife pierced into Liu Bao's right chest as quickly as lightning, and he quickly overturned and fell off his horse, screaming miserably. The war knife that pierced into his chest also fell off the moment he fell off his horse, and Duan Xuan, who had turned over on the horse, leaned over and grabbed it in his hand, and the two horses staggered by.

However, what Duan Xuan didn't expect was that Liu Bao, who screamed and fell off the horse, was very good, hooked the horse with one foot and was dragged by the mount for more than ten steps, he was still able to endure the pain and turn over the horse, then turned the horse's head and fled to the barbarian army in panic.

It is true that although Liu Bao couldn't completely avoid the flying stab of the battle knife just now, he successfully avoided the vital points of his body. And when the war knife pierced his chest, it did not stab directly, but stabbed obliquely into the chest, and the wound was not deep, otherwise it would not fall off and fall as Liu Bao fell off the horse. In addition, Liu Bao has a strong body, and under the severe pain, his physical potential is stimulated, prompting him to have an extremely strong desire to survive, so that he can endure severe pain and turn over the horse under serious injuries, so as to escape.

However, when the war knife detached from the body, it left a wound more than a foot long on Liu Bao's right chest. The blood gushing from the wound more than a foot long with open skin and flesh was really shocking and unbearable to watch.

"Don't chase after the poor, Zhong Ming hurry back to the battle!"

Just as Duan Xuan was chasing Liu Bao with a knife, Zhou Yu's loud voice came from behind him. At this moment, he saw that the barbarian army had changed formation in front of the formation, and the barbarian generals in front of the horse formation quickly retreated, replaced by groups of barbarian war horses striding forward, and the bows and crossbows were wound one by one.

Seeing this, how could Duan Xuan not understand what the barbarian army was going to do. This was a precursor to a massive attack by the barbarian army. In an instant, he jerked the reins and forced the horse to stand upright, turn quickly, and then beat the horse and galloped towards the formation.

At this moment. The barbarian army was indeed ready to attack, and the 110,000 barbarian cavalry of the left, center, and right phalanxes slowly unfolded their formation. Weapons in hand. The bow and crossbow are wound, the war horse neighses, and the three commanders can attack and kill at the sound of an order. However, Liu Bao was seriously injured and fled back to the Chinese army's front, but it slowed down the pace of the Chinese army's attack, causing the Chinese army commander Yu Fuluo, who was also seriously injured, to draw his sword and suddenly withdraw it, and urgently ordered someone to bandage Liu Bao's wounds. As a result, coach Yufro did not give an order. The deputy commanders of the two wings, Bu Dugen and Qian Wei, naturally did not lead the army to attack, and could only wait for Fu Luo's general order.

In addition, the scene of Yu Fuluo's father and son being defeated and seriously injured one after another made the barbarian army feel uneasy. The morale that had been high was suddenly frustrated. But at this time, the army can only advance and not retreat, even before the father and son are all killed, this great battle will continue. Otherwise, once the army retreats, the Han army will inevitably take advantage of the situation to cover up, and then the barbarian army will be a fiasco, even worse than the defeat in the battle of Chiyang City. Because the north of the Green Wolf Valley is full of open land for dozens of miles, without shelter, and the Han army is all war horses, and the speed of pursuit is rapid, so the barbarian army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

Fortunately, Yu Fuluo was injured but did not die, which made the morale of the barbarian soldiers frustrated, but they did not mess up their own positions. Therefore, the 110,000 barbarian army still looked at the head of the Roman army, and waited for him to give the order to attack, and the whole army would move in response.

Just when Fu Luo ordered someone to rescue his son Liu Bao, the Han army camp quickly changed formations, and 40,000 war horsemen moved along with the small flag in the hands of the main general Zhou Yu.

But seeing Zhou Yu standing in front of the horse formation, he waved the black and white flags to the left and right, and the generals who were originally standing together quickly dispersed, and the goose-shaped array was dispersed into the left and right wings. On the left flank, the vanguard Zhang Liao was the main general, leading 20,000 cavalry to quickly march to the foot of the mountain to the west, and on the right flank, Dian Wei was the main general, leading the remaining 20,000 iron cavalry to retreat to the foot of the mountain in the east.

As the 40,000 war cavalry split into two and dispersed, the southern valley mouth that had been tightly gambled was gradually revealed. Lu Su and Fa Zheng, who were dressed in Confucian robes, took dozens of personal soldiers to climb the high slope of the valley, also holding a small flag in their hands, facing the two armies behind them, and giving orders outside the valley. It's just that I don't know who they gave orders to, so almost all the forces of the Han army confronted the barbarians in the valley, and there were no other soldiers and horses to drive.

After the mobilization of the soldiers and horses on both wings was completed, only Zhou Yu remained in the middle of Taniguchi, still staying in place, watching the movement of the barbarian army with a solemn face.

Moments later, Liu Bao's wounds were simply bandaged and carried to the rear by the sergeant, where he was then sent to the coalition camp fifty miles away for treatment. And Yu Fuluo's injuries were even more serious than Liu Bao's, and at this moment he could only be supported by his own soldiers to stand on the chariot and continue to command the battle. Because he is the commander of the army, as long as he still has a breath of air, he cannot leave the army without permission before the war has started, and return to the rear to be wounded. There was only one thing he had to do, and it was simple, he drew his sword, ordered the drums to beat, and then he could return to the camp in a carriage to heal his wounds.

Don't underestimate this simple sentence and an action, for the barbarian army, only he has this qualification at the moment, and the others, including the two deputy marshals, can only order their own cavalry to attack even if they give the order to attack, and the other departments may not obey the order to fight. Because of this, Yu Fuluo was injured like this, but he had to stay on the battlefield to give orders, otherwise the barbarian army would go its own way and collapse without a fight.

"Beat the drums 、、、 the horns!"

On the chariot of the Chinese army, Yu Fuluo pushed away the soldiers who were supporting him on both sides, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, he slowly pulled out his saber and shouted six words with great effort. However, these six simple words, he still has to pause and take a breath before he can finish it.

"Knock knock knock——— woo!"

More than a dozen strongmen with big shoulders and round waists moved when they heard the sound, and the cowhide drum slammed loudly, and then the horn sounded in a low voice, and the sound shook in all directions.

Seeing the war drums and horns sounding at the same time, Yu Fuluo wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, took a deep breath, agitated a few cheeks, used all his strength, and shouted loudly with all his strength: "The whole army attack, kill all the Han dogs, and go to war!" ”

At the same time as the word "fight" was shouted at the end, Yu Furo threw his sword with all his might, and suddenly collapsed to the ground like an eagle with broken wings. The saber he threw flipped in the air, making a crisp jingle sound, and then plunged upside down on the grass more than twenty paces away, the hilt swaying in the wind.

"Attack, go to war! Kill ———"

With Yu Fuluo's order, the deputy commanders of the left and right wings followed closely and shouted loudly, and then 110,000 barbarian cavalry responded to the sound, and the shouts of killing resounded in the sky, and the sound shook in all directions.

"———Boom, boom, boom!"

In an instant, the sound of horses' hooves slammed, and the three phalanxes were instantly deformed, rushing out at a speed as far as the naked eye could see, rushing straight into the Han army camp like waves of the river and crushing away.

In front of the Han army, Zhou Yu coldly watched the war drums of the barbarian army rumble, the horn sounded, and he stood alone and stood alone in the valley mouth without moving like a mountain. The moment he heard Yu Fuluo's hissing and roaring, he saw him raise the black and white flag again, and waved his arms, and the small flag waved to the left and right. Then he shouted loudly: "All the soldiers obey the order, and the left and right wings all obey the orders of the commanders of the two wings, and there must be no mistakes!" Now listen to me and go up the mountain! ”

That's right, just as the whole barbarian army was attacking, Zhou Yu's order was not to attack to meet the battle, but to order 40,000 war cavalry to divide into left and right wings and climb the valleys on both sides to avoid the frontal battlefield.

Although most of the soldiers were puzzled, and even doubted whether the main general Zhou Yu was confused, they still rode their horses uphill and marched to the heights on both sides of the valley under the orders of their respective generals.

It is said that the Green Wolf Valley is not a valley in the true sense, but a low-lying land on the vast prairie, and the highlands on both sides are not cliffs, but grasslands with large slopes. The so-called valley mouth is nothing more than the outlet of the flood water at both ends of the valley during the flood season, which forms a rather stable and steep narrow outlet over the years. Therefore, riding a horse forward can still climb the high ground on both sides, but the speed is not fast, and you can only climb up step by step, but you can't ride a horse to run wildly, otherwise you will fall on your back.
