Chapter 401 Guan Yu Breaks the Formation, Gan Ning and Huang Zu's Past
Xia Houyuan naturally thought of this, but he was much calmer. Seeing Xu Chu's appearance, he knew that Xu Chu must have thought too much, but Xu Chu might not be able to listen to his explanation now, so he could only follow Xu Chu's initiative. attack.
Xu Chu faced Guan Yu. There was no doubt that he could only choose Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei smiled brightly. In this battle, Xu Chu and Xia Houyuan joined forces to give him a lot of good things. This time, Zhang Fei finally caught him. When he got the chance, he stepped on the snow with the dark clouds under his crotch, raised his spear horizontally, and swung towards Xia Houyuan.
Xu Chu had just been promoted to a famous general. Although his strength had improved a lot, how could he be his opponent when facing Guan Yu, who was already a legendary general? After three sword strikes, Xu Chu already had a wound on his left arm, and blood was gushing out, but Xu Chu couldn't care less. As a result, he thought that Cao Cao had been captured by Guan Yu, so he was furious and couldn't care about anything else.
Guan Yu snorted coldly and slashed out again. He didn't use the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique just now. Otherwise, there would be only one small wound after three slashes. Not to mention being seriously injured and dying like Dian Wei, he would have been slashed to the point where he couldn't find it. To the southeast, northwest.
Now Guan Yu's Spring and Autumn Sword Technique has been upgraded to level five. The effect of the first sword has reached the abnormal level of +1000% attack power. The second sword also has a full 1300% attack power, and the third sword has an additional 1500% attack power. The attack power, and the armor-breaking effect that was originally only available in the third sword, is now 100% armor-breaking in every stroke. As long as Guan Yu uses the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique, there will be no defense in front of Guan Yu. .
For this sword, Guan Yu used the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique. Xu Chu also felt the difference in this sword. He held the Wind Splitting Knife tightly with both hands and resisted with all his strength. After the blow, Xu Chu knelt down on one knee and held the knife in one hand, which prevented him from falling down. On the ground, his eyes were filled with anger, but also mixed with a hint of transparency. Who in the world could stop Guan Yu like this.
"My lord, I am useless and cannot avenge you."
As Xu Chu spoke, a mouthful of blood spurted out. Xia Houyuan, who was on the side, was hit on the back by Zhang Fei with a spear and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then he got rid of Zhang Fei and dragged Xu Chu to the horse.
"Zhongkang, it's not what you think. Lord Jiren has his own destiny, so he will be fine!"
Xia Houyuan had no intention of continuing the fight, so he galloped on his horse and evacuated towards Yuzhou.
Zhang Fei just wanted to chase him, but was stopped by Guan Yu. Zhang Fei looked at Guan Yu with some confusion.
"Second brother, that guy is seriously injured, why don't you chase him?"
"Killing them two will not have much impact on the battle situation. Have you forgotten what I said? The key to this battle lies with you and me."
Guan Yu did not continue to pursue, but rushed towards the opposing soldiers. How could those soldiers stop Guan Yu? With one strike, there was a lot of blood. The weapons made of fine iron used by the monks were also papery in front of Guan Yu. There's no difference, it's all a matter of one knife.
The opponent retreated while fighting, but Guan Yu and the others fought as hard as they could, killing as many as they could until they reached the border of Yuzhou. After they could see the Yuzhou military town, Guan Yu and the others stopped their pursuit and did not continue the pursuit. After chasing them, they entered the boundary of Yuzhou. If the other party had any ambush, they would not be able to escape.
So stopping the pursuit now was the best choice. Zhang Fei stopped beside Guan Yu and quietly watched Xu Chu and others go away.
"Hahaha, it's so happy, it's so happy. All the anger I've suffered these past few days has been beaten back. Second brother, where should we fight next? Do we want to directly defeat their Yuzhou?"
Zhang Fei was extremely excited at this moment and was eager to try. Guan Yu held down Zhang Fei who was about to make a move.
"Remember what I said, in this war, we are the only variable now."
"Why?"
"The most important thing now is not the front line of Jingzhou and Yangzhou, but Jingzhou, which is already in complete chaos. As long as one of them does not capture Jingzhou, we will still have a chance to survive in this chaos."
Guan Yu explained patiently to Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei just scratched his head and smiled after Guan Yu finished speaking.
"Second brother, I will follow you. Wherever you go, I will go. If you point east, I will not hit you!"
Zhang Fei didn't listen to what Guan Yu said at all. Now Zhang Fei just wanted to fight more battles and kill Cao Cao's thieves until he peed. Guan Yu nodded and looked at the soldiers behind him. Although they were full of physical strength, they were so After many days of fighting, they still need a certain amount of rest, otherwise they will not be able to hold on physically but mentally.
They found an open space, ate some dry food, and then fell asleep one after another, leaving only a few soldiers responsible for keeping watch.
Nothing happened all night, and in the early morning of the next day, the soldiers who had rested all night were refreshed and each one returned to full strength. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, with a total of less than 20,000 cavalry, began to set off towards Jiangxia County. Compared with Nanjun, which is farther away, and Yizhou, which has abundant troops, Zhang Fei's first choice is definitely Jiangxia County.
Not to mention anything else, after all, Jiangxia County has higher combat power, and Sun Jian attacked several counties at the same time, including Yuzhang County where Gu Rubing was present. Guan Yu had absolute confidence and unconditional trust in Gu Rubing. Sun Jian would never be able to capture Yuzhang County. Not only would he not be able to capture it, but those sent to attack would also suffer heavy losses.
That's why Guan Yu chose to support Jiangxia County. According to the existing intelligence, Zhou Yu has joined Gan Ning and started the siege of Jiangxia. Xiakou, the city of Jiangxia County, has been besieged by heavy troops for seven days. They have been besieged from time to time. Then they would launch attacks, and a total of five large-scale attacks were launched.
However, the defense of Xiakou City is strong, and there are many defenders in the city and sufficient reserves. In addition, all the catapults Sun Jian had at that time were given to Lu Meng and others, asking them to take them to attack Yuzhang. After Yuzhang was defeated, they could be transported to Jiangxia Used, but Sun Jian did not expect that not only Yuzhang was not captured, but the catapult was also gone, and even Lu Meng died under Zhao Yun's gun.
It can be said that Sun Jian had already suffered heavy losses before he started fighting. From the junction of Yuzhou and Jingzhou, across the entire Nanyang County, it only took them a day and a half to arrive at Jiangxia County. They could already see Xia Xia from a distance. The city was filled with gunpowder smoke, and Sun troops were attacking all four walls.
Huang Zu was fighting hard at this moment. Several sieges regardless of the cost had caused heavy losses to the Jiangxia defenders. Even Huang Zu was forced to go out of the city to meet the enemy in person. Huang Zu and Jiangdong had been fighting for many years, and they were very close to each other. Understand that Huang Zu also knew some of Sun Jian's generals quite well. For example, Gan Ning, who was fighting against him now, was a fierce general under Sun Jian. His ability to lead troops and combat abilities were both outstanding.
Gan Ning's ancient ingot sword swung with a clanking sound as he kept slashing at Huang Zu. After all, Huang Zu was old. He might have had the ability to stand up when he was young, but now he could only be beaten back and forth.
Gan Ning, who gained the upper hand with one move, became more and more aggressive, and the attack rhythm became faster, vowing to kill Huang Zu on his horse. The last time Gan Ning failed to fight Huang Zu happily in Yuzhang County, Now that he finally had an opportunity, Gan Ning would not let it go. Under Gan Ning's continuous attacks, Huang Zu was gradually losing ground.
"Old guy! You're old! You're too old to even hold a knife!"
Gan Ning laughed and said, the Gudian knife in his hand did not stop at all, and he slashed out with another knife, splitting Huang Zuzhen's tiger's mouth. The blood flowed continuously, and the blood dripped down the handle of the knife and fell to the ground. Huang Zu gasped for breath, he I was really tired. After fighting for a long time, facing Gan Ning again, I felt a little powerless.
"Xingba, you are still like this after all these years. It was because of your appearance that I didn't reuse you."
Huang Zu coughed up a mouthful of black blood. It was a stubborn disease he suffered from many years of fighting. It was also because of this stubborn disease that his military power declined severely. Now he no longer even had the strength to fight Gan Ning.
After Gan Ning heard Huang Zu's explanation, his attacks became more explosive.
"Old guy, shut up! Shut up!"
Gan Ning roared angrily, swung the ancient ingot sword, and kept attacking Huang Zu. Huang Zu could only try his best to block it, but he was still unable to do so.
"Old man, you are just afraid that I will teach you all your skills and your position as governor will not be guaranteed. Don't think that I don't know. You just want to leave this governor to those little brats. Now I don't care about it anymore. !”
Huang Zu gathered strength and threw out a spear, trying to push back Gan Ning who was attacking, but Gan Ning pushed him away with a casual move. The ferocious smile on Gan Ning's face became even worse.
"Hahaha, you are already very old. Where are the kids you were so fond of back then? You still reuse them. Which one of them can compare to me?"
Huang Zu, who was forced back by a blow, could not even sit still. His whole body was shaking on the horse. How could he, who was already old, compare to a strong young man like Gan Ning? Without paying attention, Gan Ning knocked him off his horse. After Huang Zu threw his old bones to the ground, he felt as if his whole body was broken. He struggled to get up but couldn't get up.
"Old man, old man, you know, I have always dreamed of defeating you, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly, which caught me off guard."
Just when Gan Ning was humiliating Huang Zu, several horses came from afar.
"Gan Ning, there is no room for you to be presumptuous here!"
The leading cavalryman drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot out an arrow. Several cavalrymen behind him also rushed up and surrounded Gan Ning.
"Who do I think you are? It turns out it's you, a useless brat. You have a good father, but you fail to live up to your expectations."
Gan Ning put the ancient ingot sword on his shoulder. Faced with the surrounding people, there was no fear on his face, but a look of fearlessness.
"Gan Ning, this is not the place for you to act wild. You actually dare to attack the prefect. You will die!"
A military general holding a spear yelled loudly, and at the same time, he waved the spear and killed Gan Ning. Gan Ning's originally smiling and ferocious face suddenly became expressionless, like a man without any emotions staring at him just now. The talking general.
"Chen Jiu, what bothered me the most back then was you. You obviously couldn't do anything well, but this old man just liked you and reused you as the commander-in-chief. However, I could only be a small captain. Besides having a pretty face, what else do you have? I’m obviously the most capable one, so why can’t you be reused?”
When Gan Ning said these words, he didn't feel any bitterness or hatred, as if he was just saying something that had nothing to do with him. As soon as he finished speaking, Chen rushed towards Gan Ning with his killing sword, and his spear was about to sweep Gan Ning's way. When his neck was pressed, Gan Ning took action. With just one blow, Chen Jiu was knocked off his horse.
Chen Ju stared at Gan Ning who was approaching him step by step on horseback. He never thought that Gan Ning, who was obviously almost the same as him a few years ago, could become so strong that he could not help but There is no strength to fight back.
"Don't be presumptuous!"
Several other people also rushed towards Gan Ning, preventing Gan Ning from moving forward, but how could they be Gan Ning's opponents? enemy.
Gan Ning didn't have a chance to stand up to the other people who were lying on the ground. He turned around and walked towards Chen Jiu who was knocked off his horse by his sword and could not stand up now. He put the ancient ingot knife on Chen Jiu's neck.
"Many times I can't figure out what the old man sees in you. No matter what you do, the old man thinks you are right and good. No matter what I do, I can't catch her eyes. Later I understood , I just don’t like it, there is no other reason.”
After saying that, Gan Ning raised his sword and sent Gan Ning to see the King of Hell. Then he turned around and walked to Huang Zu's side.
"Old man, are you blind? All of them combined are inferior to me, but you never look at me."
"So what if their martial arts skills are not as good as yours? But their conduct is much better than yours!"
Huang Zu said through gritted teeth, his eyes fixed on the bleeding head in Gan Ning's hand.
"Even if Chen can't compare to you, he hasn't done anything to deceive his master and destroy his ancestors."
"Oh, old man, you are blind, but you still don't believe me. When did I deceive my master and destroy my ancestors? I just killed a person I hated when I was young."
As Gan Ning spoke, he let go of the hand he had been holding, threw Chen Jiu's head up high, and then slashed it in half with a knife, with a playful smile on his lips, as if he was telling Huang Zu again , what can you do to me?
Huang Zu supported the ground with his hands and stood up slowly. The old general looked directly at Gan Ning, without the slightest fear in his eyes.
"Kill me if you dare!"
"OK."
Gan Ning smiled brightly and raised his hand to wipe Huang Zu's neck. At the critical moment, Guang shot an arrow on Gan Ning's sword, slightly blocking Gan Ning. Only then did Huang Zu survive. Zu seized the opportunity, got on his horse, turned around and threw the spearhead hanging on his waist.
"Let's go!"
In Huang Zu's shouts, the generals who were knocked to the ground by Gan Ning struggled to get up, mounted their horses and prepared to escape. Gan Ning just looked at everything in front of him with a mocking face, and had no intention of stopping him. He was obviously very happy after killing Chen Jiu, which was why he let these people go.
"General, won't you pursue me?"
One of Gan Ning's lieutenants asked. He followed Gan Ning from Jiangxia to Jiangdong. He knew very clearly about the grudges between Gan Ning and Jiangxia, so he had this question. Gan Ning didn't care. Shaked his head.
"Let him go. There will be plenty of opportunities for revenge in the future. Wouldn't it be more interesting to wait until the day the city is destroyed to take revenge?"
