However, he was one step slower every time. Originally, according to the plan, he should first go to Wei Xing to join the other soldiers and horses left by Chen Feng.

However, he had to deal with the news of the enemy, so he searched all the way, and ran directly to the south of Wei Xing, where he encountered Guan Ping's troops.

"It's not mediocrity, knowing that Iron King Meng is leading the rest of the cavalry, it seems that they want to trap the five thousand Jingzhou troops first, and then eat them all in one fell swoop.

Chapter 613 Three Heroes Going South 1

As night fell, the Jingzhou Army's camp gradually lit up with fire, and there were noises and shouts one after another. It seemed that the military discipline of the subordinates led by Guan Ping was average.

Liu Bei has ruled the world for so many years, suffered countless defeats, and the elite soldiers and horses he finally got totaled no more than a few thousand.

The five-hundred-sword shieldmen around Guan Yu can be regarded as elite, but they are Guan Yu's personal soldiers, and they will basically not be transferred to others.

Even if it is Guan Ping, it is impossible to command many elite soldiers.Most of these 5000 troops were selected from the tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops transferred by Liu Biao.

They were natives of Jingzhou and lacked experience in fighting the northern army. In addition, they could only be regarded as a second-rate team in the Jingzhou army, so things like military discipline were really not that good.

"However, there is no need for night raids. They can be harassed so that the enemy cannot rest. My fourth brother fought a battle during the day, so let me come at night."

In the night, Yan Cheng and the others had been observing the camp, and after confirming that the quality of the Jingzhou army in the camp was indeed not very good, Yan Cheng began to care about it.

He knew better than anyone else that if the five thousand cavalry on his side launched a night attack together, they would definitely be able to defeat this enemy army, but this was not his goal.

Besides, most of the soldiers and horses on my side have traveled a long distance and are very tired. If we start a war now, it will definitely be bad for our side.

Moreover, this is just a vanguard of the Jingzhou Army, nothing special, even if Guan Ping is defeated, it cannot stop the Jingzhou Army from going north.

Therefore, what Yan Cheng needs is to defeat this army at the lowest cost. It doesn't matter whether it can be completely wiped out. The important thing is to let the Jingzhou army know how powerful it is.

In the middle of the night, the Jingzhou army, which had gradually quieted down, was suddenly awakened by the sound of gongs and drums. Suddenly, many torches appeared around the camp.

Guan Ping, who had already fallen asleep, jumped up from the bed in fright, and immediately put on his armor and summoned his soldiers.

After he gathered hundreds of subordinates by his side, he suddenly felt strange that the enemy army was just making noise but not attacking, which was too strange.

"Oops, could it be the enemy's exhausted strategy. In the dark night, the number and position of the enemy army cannot be detected, so how can I attack.

It's hateful, the Chang'an army only plays tricks and tricks, but they dare not fight head-on, a group of cowards, come here, send orders to send more people to patrol. "

In fact, Guan Ping was also very scared. If the enemy really attacked, it would be very difficult for him to deal with it. After all, he had almost no experience of commanding soldiers and horses to fight against the enemy alone at night.

Fortunately, the Chang'an army was just making noise that night and did not attack.However, after dawn, all the Jingzhou soldiers were listless.

Staying up all night is a torment for the soldiers of the Jingzhou army. After dawn, they have to be busy lighting fires and cooking, and they may march and fight in the future. The soldiers of the Jingzhou army already have a lot of resentment in their hearts.

Until the middle of the morning, the Jingzhou army did not encounter another enemy. It seems that the Chang'an army most likely chose to retreat because of their small number.

Anyway, that's what Guan Ping told himself. It would be better if the Chang'an army didn't come to attack. The soldiers under his command stayed up all night, and they really couldn't stand the battle.

Since the enemy is not attacking, then Guan Ping has to lead his men to move on. After all, the military order he received was to seize the checkpoint and prepare for the follow-up to take down Wei Xing.

"Set off,,,,,,"

Seeing the listless expressions of his subordinates, Guan Ping waved his hand. At this time, he can't control much, and the military order must continue to be implemented, even if the soldiers have grievances.

However, after more than an hour, the sound of horseshoes came from afar, which seemed to be reminding the Jingzhou army to pay attention to the next situation.

"Wooooow,,,,,,"

The prairie cavalry's horn sounded to pass the signal. Guan Ping knew that this was the Chang'an Army calling for nearby soldiers and horses to gather. It seemed that a big battle was about to happen next.

"Array, array,,,,,,"

In haste, Guan Ping had no choice but to order the army to line up. Yesterday he relied on the superiority of formation and numbers to force his opponent away. Today, he will use this trick again.

However, when Yan Cheng led [-] cavalry in front of the Jingzhou army, both Guan Ping and his subordinates were in a commotion.

Yesterday Lu Xiao led only 1000 people, which doesn't seem like a lot, but today it has only doubled.

However, the range occupied by two thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry is different, and the posture created is also very different.

Especially the sound of horseshoes and the oppression brought by the cavalry officers and soldiers when they rode forward made the Jingzhou army feel breathless.

"Who is coming, report the name, I, Guan Ping, will not kill the unknown."

There is a saying that losing is not losing. Guan Ping was indeed intimidated by the opponent's formation, so he had to step forward to win the battle. Fighting generals is undoubtedly the best way.

"Guan Ping? He is the eldest son of Guan Yu. Well, heaven has eyes. Father, I will take this man first to sacrifice your spirit in heaven."

After finishing speaking, Yan Chengcheng swung his saber and rode his horse forward. The horse continued to accelerate, and the long saber in his hand made the sound of cutting the air.

"Well done, kid, I want you to experience the Guan family's sword skills."

At the beginning, Guan Ping was worried that the opponent's general would not want to fight, but now, the young man on the opposite side rushed over without saying a word, which was exactly in line with Guan Ping's thoughts.

While raising the speed of the horse, Guan Ping's sword was dragged behind him. From the front, it seemed that Guan Ping put away the sword.

If it weren't for the constant acceleration of his war horse, the people in front of him would have thought that Guan Ping just wanted to move forward and had no intention of fighting.

However, Yan Cheng would never think so.Because, in these years, he has studied hard and practiced hard, mastered his own sword technique, and then asked Huang Zhong for advice to improve his eyesight and strength.

Guan Ping's move is exactly the hidden character technique in the Spring and Autumn Saber Technique, and the emphasis is on surprise.Back then, Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang with this knife attack.

In the face-to-face confrontation, Guan Ping's first knife was actually the most powerful move in the Guan family's sword technique.

No, when the two were about to approach, Guan Ping's right hand suddenly stepped forward, and the blade appeared in mid-air instantly from bottom to top, and then slashed down.

This speed is not uncomfortably fast, and this move is not ingenious. It is a pity that Yan Cheng had already prepared for it, and Guan Ping's strength was limited, so he could not use the Tibetan character technique to the extreme.

Therefore, after the knife was swung out, it collided with Yan Cheng's weapon very quickly, and there was a roar, and the two quickly passed by.

"Guan family sword skills, hmph, but that's all, I really don't know how Guan Yu taught such a waste..."

Yan Cheng turned his horse's head first, his eyes were full of disdain, if it was said that the Guan family's sword technique had only this level of power, he really looked down upon it.

Chapter 614 Three Heroes Going South 2

After ten rounds of fighting, both of them were still sitting on their horses, Yan Cheng still had a relaxed and mocking expression on his face, while Guan Ping was very surprised.

For so many years, he considered himself to be the best among his peers. After all, with his good talent and Guan Yu's guidance, there are few people in the world who can match him.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that getting Guan Yu's guidance was his blessing, but also his bad luck. Guan Yu taught him sword skills, but suppressed his improvement.

Everyone knows that Guan Yu is aloof, but few people know why Guan Yu is so aloof.Guan Yu, who climbed up from the bottom, was always looked down upon by others when he was young.

Such an experience actually left an indelible mark in his heart.Therefore, after he grows to a certain height, he will put away the inferiority complex and pain in his heart, and only the arrogance will be revealed.

In the end, when Guan Yu exploded with an unparalleled advantage at a certain point, his arrogance became more obvious. For example, Guan Yu's sword skills are the best in the world, so his arrogance is also the best in the world.
