Chapter 403 Guan Yu Takes Action
Cao Ren and Huang Gai's armies were also defeated.
He fought very tenaciously, but did not hold out for long.
In the face of the absolute gap in strength, the momentary bravery of Cao Ren's army and Huang Gai's army seemed so insignificant.
Especially when the enemy's will and tactics are no worse than yours, or even better.
After rushing to the center of the two armies, Guan Yu smoothly commanded the two elite troops to attack from the flanks, and then the cavalry went around the back to encircle them.
This move stunned countless allied generals, even Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were stunned.
"It's similar to Gongjin!" Sun Ce couldn't help but muttered as he looked at the familiar operation.
At this moment, Guan Yu's ability as a commander was immediately revealed.
Guan Yu defeated the enemy too quickly, and he surrounded and divided them. His series of moves left Cao Ren and Huang Gai with no chance to fight back.
Because the original plan was to use the three armies to delay Guan Yu and slow down his attack, the coalition forces in the rear were still some distance away from the three armies and were unable to organize support for a while.
Facing the powerful Guan Yu army, Shen Pei would never repeat the same mistake and let the other armies go forward and "send their heads" without being prepared.
And using cavalry... is too risky.
The few cavalry in the coalition forces were the greatest hope for a comeback, so they dared not use them easily.
Especially when the slingshots and crossbow arrows in Guan Yu’s army had obviously not been used up.
Shen Pei and others were well versed in military affairs and could see the strengths and weaknesses of these catapults and crossbow carts, as well as their weaknesses.
Although they were protected by Guan Yu's army, they didn't have to worry about being attacked under the terrifying might. However, the slingshots and special crossbows needed for these chariots were not so easy to carry, and they would definitely require considerable logistical support, and they would only be used a few times on the battlefield.
For Guan Yu, who is good at "one-sword style", this is undoubtedly a great advantage, but he will most likely only have three chances to attack.
Cao Ren and Chunyu Qiong's troops were surrounded, but their tenacious resistance still bought the coalition forces some time.
Under the command of Shen Pei, the armies of Sun Ce, Han Meng, Cao Hong and Gao Gan all advanced forward.
The Gaogan army, which was good at defense, stood directly in front of Guan Yu's army, activated their talents and prepared for battle.
The other three armies followed behind.
Soon, Guan Yu's army rushed to Gao Gan's army, and the three armies immediately prepared to charge at Guan Yu's army from the flanks.
These three parties are all powerful generals who are good at fierce attacks. No matter whether it is the invincible Sun Ce, Han Meng who has accumulated talents to the maximum, or Cao Hong who has already devoted all his efforts to reward his troops and stimulated his talents to the extreme, their current state can be described as terrifying.
Even Guan Yu couldn't help but nod slightly.
"interesting."
With a wave of his hand, the last round of catapults and crossbow carts concentrated their fire, knocking Gao Gan's vanguard army to the ground, and the soldiers at the front took advantage of the situation to rush over and kill them.
At the same time, following Guan Yu's order, three "arrows" extended out from the military formation and attacked the troops coming from three directions.
Point to point!
The two sides collided in an instant and began a brutal fight.
Although they no longer had the assistance of catapults and crossbows, the combat power unleashed by Guan Yu's army in high spirits was even more terrifying than that of the other three parties.
Even a brave man like Sun Ce couldn't help feeling powerless in the face of Guan Yu's army that was attacking like a wave.
Is this kind of power really beyond human power?
Looking at the majestic figure riding a horse slowly in the distance, Sun Ce felt as if he were a god.
The essence of Guan Yu's way of using troops lies in the word "fierce".
This style lasted throughout the entire battle. They could see clearly but could not break through.
Because the strength gap between the two sides is too big.
The troops from four directions came in a rush, but soon they fell into a disadvantage and fell into a slump.
However, Guan Yu's army's momentum was finally slowed down.
Shen Pei looked at this scene from a distance, took a deep breath, and secretly rejoiced. Finally, it was blocked.
If the seven armies are still unable to stop Guan Yu's army, they can consider how to withdraw their troops in advance.
Following Shen Pei's order, the rest of the troops began to move.
However, Guan Yu's army also moved.
Although Sun Ce and others were not as powerful as Guan Yu's army, they still put a certain amount of pressure on Guan Yu.
Even if Guan Yu sent out cavalry to go around the rear, it would still be difficult to defeat such a powerful enemy.
Therefore, Guan Yu took action personally.
"Military Advisor, I will leave the army to you to assist in commanding."
After saying something to Cheng Yu, Guan Yu slightly raised his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, opened his eyes slightly, and pointed the blade downward, full of murderous intent.
He then rode his horse straight towards Sun Ce's army, followed closely by his personal guards and swordsmen.
In such a crowded battlefield, the cavalry had no room to maneuver, which just happened to be what Guan Yu wanted.
With an indomitable momentum, Guan Yu rushed straight towards Sun Ce.
The swordsmen from the personal guard school around him were all extremely brave and well-trained. They gathered closely behind him and formed an indestructible line of defense.
At this moment, the noise on the battlefield seemed to be isolated outside. Guan Yu only had Sun Ce in his eyes. His terrifying power was enough to scare any opponent.
When Sun Ce saw Guan Yu rushing towards him, a complex emotion surged in his heart. He was in awe of Guan Yu's bravery, but also unwilling to be outdone as the little overlord of Jiangdong.
But his pride soon dispelled all distracting thoughts, and he led the Overlord Cavalry around him and rushed towards Guan Yu, holding the Overlord Spear.
"Guan Yu, prepare to die!"
Guan Yu rushed into the enemy camp, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand was like a living thing, flying up and down, blood splattered in the flash of the blade.
The sword techniques were powerful and each blow carried a tremendous force. The soldiers of Sun Ce's army were unable to resist and fell down one after another.
The swordsmen of the royal guards were not to be outdone. They cooperated closely and spread the attack in all directions with Guan Yu as the center, forming a net of death that enveloped the soldiers of Sun Ce's army.
In the fierce melee, the two sides finally met.
A hint of excitement flashed in Sun Ce's eyes. He shouted loudly and thrust his spear towards Guan Yu.
However, Guan Yu, who had been accumulating strength for a long time, instantly blessed himself with his talent, his phoenix eyes widened angrily, and the big knife in his hand arrived first, smashing towards Sun Ce with the force of splitting Mount Hua.
The terrifying wind from the sword made all the hairs on Sun Ce's body stand up, and he instinctively sensed the fatal danger.
Overlord Spear quickly returned to block.
boom!
A terrifying loud noise suddenly broke out.
Sun Ce only felt an irresistible force coming, and his hands became numb instantly.
The black horse under his crotch let out a wail, and Sun Ce was thrown several feet away.
puff!
All of Sun Ce's internal organs suffered considerable damage, and he instantly spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Looking at Sun Ce, who was seriously injured but still alive, Guan Yu nodded slightly.
Not bad!
The sword he just used was his best sword so far.
Even if Lu Bu and Zhao Yun were in the front, they would probably be slightly injured.
The fact that Sun Ce was able to withstand it actually shows how strong he was.
Guan Yu had no intention of letting Sun Ce go, so he rode forward and prepared to capture him.
