The New Year on the Yingchuan battlefield is actually not lost in the fun. Where there are strange people, it is never lonely.

Guan Yu stood outside the tent, looking up at the gorgeous fireworks igniting in the sky, squinted his eyes and stroked his long beards for a long time, and the colorful light of the fireworks changed on his face, but it did not affect his mood like an ancient well.

Until the last fireworks on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month dissipated in the darkness, Guan Yu suddenly turned around and walked into the tent: "Send an order, the troops will set out!"

"promise!"

Guan Yu's cavalry and stance took advantage of the deep darkness to bypass Zhaoling from the south, traveled eastward, and headed straight for Ruyang.

By dawn, Guan Yu's large army was finally discovered, but this was his own person. After the infiltration of the stranger discovered Guan Yu's large army, he excitedly put the discovery on the forum. So, some people who were interested in the forum who had been paying attention to the forum immediately passed the message to Cao Cao and Ji Ling.

Guan Yu's large army attacked, and he had never thought of sneaking into Ruyang. The reason why he chose to set out late at night was to buy that half a day. At this time, Guan Yu's cavalry vanguard had already arrived twenty miles away from Ruyang, and the infantry was forty miles away from Ruyang. Cao's army wanted to rescue Ruyang, so he had to dispatch troops from Xihua Fortress, but Xihua Fortress did not have many reinforcements.

The Ruyang garrison Li Jin, Li Dian's clan member, was a figure of both civil and military affairs. Before receiving the message from Ji Ling and Cao Cao, Li Jin had already felt inappropriate from the interruption of the scout news and actively began to prepare for defense.

Not long after, Ji Ling and Cao Cao's warning arrived almost at the same time. When Li Jin learned that Guan Yu led a large army to attack, he became nervous and mobilized all the militias and civilians who could mobilize in Ruyang City and stepped up preparations for war.

At the same time, Ji Ling, on the Linying front, also personally led the cavalry back to support. Ruyang is not only a strategic node, but also a flank of Chen County. More importantly, Ruyang has always been Ji Ling's logistics base. Once Ruyang is lost, the logistics of Ji Ling's department will be completed. If the large amount of reserved food and materials are destroyed, the combat effectiveness of Ji Ling's department will definitely be severely damaged.

Moreover, after Guan Yu occupied Ruyang, he could make full use of the materials and food inside and release harassment missions on a large scale. Ant-like aliens could use Ruyang as a fulcrum to penetrate eastward. At that time, Cao Cao's nest would be a mess.

Guan Yu put Linying, who was in a hurry, and refused to go to rescue him. Instead, he chose to set up another battlefield. The one he chose must be where the enemy had to save!

Cao Cao was worried that Ji Ling would be in trouble, so he sent Cao Hong to Ruyang to support him. At the same time, he also left a backup plan to stop Guan Yu from attacking Chen County in all his fierce attacks. Chen County was Cao Cao's logistics base.

Ji Ling led 20,000 cavalry in front, while Qiao Rui hurried towards Ruyang with 50,000 infantry in the back. Although he was harassed by Yi Ren as best he could along the way, because Yi Ren was too small, it did not cause effective delays to Ji Ling.

When the sky was getting darker, Ji Ling was still thirty miles away from Ruyang. The battle report like flowing water in Ruyang City showed that Guan Yu's offensive was quite fierce, Guan Yu's infantry attributes were extremely strong, and Guan Yu led his army to attack from time to time. Li Jin used the measures of gathering fire to interfere, setting fire to the city wall and other measures to barely block Guan Yu's crazy attack.

However, the high-intensity offensive and defensive battles have exhausted the defenders in the city. The city may be broken at any time. Ji Ling looked at the cavalry who had been running for nearly an hour and gritted his teeth and did not order a rest. Instead, he ordered to slow down slightly and continue to advance towards Ruyang.

The sunset had half of its face fell behind the mountain. The fiery sunset reflected the withered and mottled earth in a bloody red color. The color like blood seemed to indicate something, which made Ji Ling very uneasy. Ji Ling was wondering whether he should let the cavalry rest. If Guan Yu turned around and gave him a head-on blow, his cavalry would not be able to fight in the current state!

Ji Ling's thoughts were not stopped, and the deputy general hurriedly came to report: "General, General Li Jin's latest battle report in the city, the enemy's cavalry outside the city seems to have decreased!"

"It seems to be reduced? How much?"

"It's probably nearly half less!"

"Oh no! The information of the scouts ahead?"

"The scouts five miles away have just been contacted, and it is normal, but there is no return ten miles away."

Ji Ling had no patience to continue listening, turned his head impatiently and looked around, pointing to a high place on the side and said: "The whole army turned, gathered on the high ground, dismounted and rested!"

Ji Ling's judgment was very accurate. Shortly after the cavalry arrived on the high ground, the scouts' rockets flew up one after another. It seemed that a large number of enemy troops had arrived.

"Don't panic, keep resting, wait for your hard work! The enemy is only half of ours!"

Ji Ling stood calmly on the high ground, looking at the east side calmly. On the gradually gloomy land, a fierce aura seemed to be rushing from the dark curtain. The feeling that made people tremble was slowly penetrated into everyone's heart from the air and the earth.

"Get on the horse!"

"Stay steady, keep calm!"

"The front row is short crossbow and the rear row is short spear! Gun and shield are ready!"

"Caval! Attack!"

“Accelerate, accelerate!”

"Short spear! Throw!"

"Swish~"

"Free shooting!"

"Prepare to attack! Kill!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The skills of both sides hit the neck of the storm formation almost at the same time. Guan Yu's cavalry used four side-by-side arrow formations to try to split Ji Ling's cavalry, while Ji Ling used a large cone formation to try to keep the formation and planned to use the short crossbow in the formation to form the enemy's killing first.

Guan Yu habitually took the lead, habitually without armor. The dazzling skill light concealed the long bearded sword. Guan Yu, who was fluttering in clothes, and the shining sword wheel rolled up bloody wind, cutting the flesh and blood corridor, and a torrent rolled in. A deep ditch along this flesh and blood corridor was like a huge arrow, breaking through Ji Ling's solid battle formation, pointing straight to Ji Ling's sharp edge!

"Skill volley!"

Ji Ling aimed the target behind Guan Yu. During the charge, it was impossible for Ji Ling, who was in the heart of the formation, to change direction and avoid. What he could do was to snipe Guan Yu on the way to charge, or try to weaken the soldiers behind Guan Yu, and then use his superior general skills to try to kill Guan Yu.

"Short spear. Throw!"

"Dangdang~"

Guan Yu swept away the sporadic short spears. He knew that the target of these short hairs was actually the soldiers behind him, but at this time he couldn't take care of so many. The cavalry rushed forward, either you die or I live, so how could he tolerate any hesitation!

"kill!"

The cold saw rolled and swung and swept the enemy in front of him. Then he raised it high from behind. When he reached the high point, the cold saw emitted a dazzling cold light, and then waved forward with a bang. At that moment, it gave people the feeling that even the space was torn apart. The strong shock wave directly bombarded all the enemy cavalry within a narrow fan on the front, causing the attack from the front to stutter.

"Ji Ling's child was killed!"

Ji Ling snorted angrily. At this moment, all words were unnecessary and he could only speak with the swords and guns in his hand.

The three-pointed two-edged sword in Ji Ling's hand made a whizzing sound from the middle, and a faint white light flashed on the tip of the knife. This sword was straight and peaceful, calm and generous. Without any worries, it was as strong as a master.

"Good! Look at the knife!"

Guan Yu's long sword rose from bottom to top, and it was as silent as if it was silent. Not only did it not shine in front of the blade, it was a little black, as if even the light was swallowed. Ji Ling's eyes shrank. It was not that it swallowed the light, but because the speed of the knife was too fast, the light was distorted. Guan Yu's sword was the word "fast"!

Ji Ling knew that his speed was not as good as he was, and he could choose to block the enemy now, but Ji Ling did not do so. He knew that his cavalry had only such a chance to charge because of physical strength. If he did not entangle with the enemy in this charge, his cavalry would soon be repeatedly cut and impacted by the opponent. Even if the number of people was twice as large, it would be useless. Therefore, the speed of the enemy must be curbed, and the speed of the enemy depends on Guan Yu!

"die!"

Ji Ling shouted loudly, burst out all his strength and cast skills at the same time, pouring all his energy and spirit into this sword, and he was about to die with Guan Yu!

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and suddenly fell to the outside of the war horse. The waist and hip force on this side made the cold saw in his hand faster.

"Swish!"

"Swoosh!"

The heavy and cold saw lightly cut Ji Ling's armor, and the sharp sword energy instantly tore the flesh and blood body apart, and blood rain flew everywhere.

Ji Ling's three-pointed two-edged knife wiped Guan Yu's shoulder and left in the air. Guan Yu's long beard was cut by the sword energy and flew around.

Guan Yu tried hard to sit back on the horse's back, and at the same time, the long sword swirled and knocked the arrows that shot at him, but there were still arrows taking advantage of the situation. Fortunately, they didn't hit the key point!

"kill!"

Guan Yu roared again, and a sword light flashed, Ji Ling's banner was cut off with one knife, and he had a fate with his master!

"Kill~!"

"The enemy general is dead! Kill!"

Guan Yu's army was in high spirits, and they shouted and rushed and killed fiercely, which was extremely brave!

Guan Yu exchanged a considerable price for the complete annihilation of Ji Ling's 20,000 cavalry. Qiao Rui, who was closely behind Ji Ling, received a letter and rushed forward. However, the battle was over. Guan Yu withdrew with the remaining soldiers. Qiao Rui did not dare to move forward alone, so he had to turn north, meet up with Cao Hong before approaching Ruyang.

However, Guan Yu's other 10,000 cavalry appeared near Cao Hong and Qiao Rui. Guan Yu's strength made Cao Hong a little scared. Qiao Rui was an infantryman and could only defend. Cao Hong did not dare to fight Guan Yu head-on, so Qiao Rui could not move forward. Moreover, more and more alien troops appeared around, and giant crossbows and catapults quickly became nightmares for slow-moving heavy infantrymen!

Seeing that they could not move forward, Cao Hong and Qiao Rui had to retreat, find a suitable hillside to set up camp, and plan to find another solution the next day.
