Facing Xu Huang, Hou Yin actually felt a little guilty.

But as a general, how can you be timid before fighting?

Even if you are defeated, you still have to charge forward.

Death on the battlefield was originally the fate of his generation of generals!

But now that Guan Ping gave him a step to go down, he walked down the step without losing the reputation of being brave.

"If Xu Huang dares to come, I will order three thousand soldiers to leave the city and confront him!"

The defender does not just huddle within the city.

If you can defeat the enemy in a field battle, then why defend the city?

More than a thousand war horses are lined up. If a general emerges victorious and is full of morale to cover up and kill them, victory will be in sight.

The military order was immediately issued, and everyone in the tent also performed their duties and prepared for Xu Huang's upcoming attack.

Whether it’s tools for defending the city or going out to fight, you need to be prepared!

"General Hou, aren't you going to prepare for war?"

Why did you, who wanted to fight just now, stay in the tent now?

Hou Yin lowered his voice and whispered: "General, this time Xu Huang came to attack the city, and His Highness went to Jiangling. Our Nanyang is empty. General, let Zong Ziqing and Dongli Gun guard Wancheng, just in case they..."

Hou Yin did not finish what he said, but the meaning behind his words was self-evident.

Guan Ping looked at Hou Yin and said categorically: "Don't worry, I know the loyalty of Zong Ziqing and Dongli Gun. Don't disturb the morale of the army!"

Since His Highness believes in these two people, what reason does Guan Ping have not to believe in them?

If Kuang Zongziqing and Dongli Gunzhen surrendered, his father Guan Yu would guard the military camp at the rear of Wancheng, and he would guard Bowang Slope. Even if Wancheng rebelled, he would be under heavy siege, and there were still guards in the city.

No worries.

His Highness is so wise and powerful that he has naturally taken everything into consideration.

"promise."

Seeing that Guan Ping had no doubts, Hou Yin had no choice but to hide his worries in his heart.

I hope those people really sincerely surrender!

It doesn’t matter what His Highness did after taking Nanyang.

He directly exempted him from one year's oral tax and calculated the tax, killed the unworthy ministers, and then gave all the property of the servants to him and these meritorious ministers.

After being rewarded with real benefits, how could he, Hou Yin, not be grateful to Liu Chan?

How not to support Liu Chan's rule and interests in Nanyang?

The interests of both of them have long been deeply bound together.

"The front is Bowang Slope."

Xu Huang looked at the continuous military strongholds in front of him and the small town of Bowangpo, which was guarded by three military strongholds. He held his hands tightly and showed some fighting spirit in his eyes.

"It's indeed a good place to ambush."

Sima Yi, wearing black light armor, reined in his horse and stepped forward, side by side with Xu Huang.

In front of Bowang Slope there are thick trees and a quiet valley, making it a good place for an ambush.

In the seventh year of Jian'an, Liu Biao attempted to take advantage of Cao Cao's northward attack on Yuan Shang to attack Xudu, so he sent Liu Bei to lead the attack.

Liu Bei then launched his Northern Expedition and fought all the way to Ye County, approaching Xuchang, which seriously threatened the security of the Central Plains.

Cao Cao transferred General Xiahou Dun to Yu Jin and Li Dian to counterattack Liu Bei. Liu Bei retreated his line and chose to confront Cao's army at Bowang.

Liu Bei deliberately sent a small number of troops to fight with Xiahou Dun, and deliberately retreated, and then burned down his military camp. Xiahou Dun was attracted by Yu Jin to pursue him. When they entered the narrow forest mountain road, the ambush arranged by Liu Bei suddenly broke out. Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin were unable to deal with it.

He was attacked by an ambush, and Liu Bei's army Zhao Yun captured the enemy general Xia Houlan alive in this battle.

If Liu Bei didn't have enough troops at that time, he could even directly kill Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin.

With such stories, Xu Huang and Sima Yi were cautious along the way. They first sent out vanguards to sweep the surrounding area, and sent out sentry cavalry ten miles away. Finally, they arrived at Bowang Slope without any danger.

Zhi acridine~

When Xu Huang's army arrived, he was just about to set up camp and repair it before attacking the city again tomorrow. Unexpectedly, in the small town of Bowangpo, the city gate opened and thousands of soldiers and horses poured out.

A simple square formation, in the front row are shield soldiers holding human-high shields, behind the shield soldiers are spearmen holding spears, followed by spearmen and archers.

More than a thousand cavalry troops were on both sides of the phalanx, ready to charge at any time.

"The thief general is so brave. When he sees my army coming to cover him up and kill him, he doesn't want to defend the city and wants to fight with me in the field?"

Xu Huang immediately stepped forward and said, "I would like to go up and have a meeting."

Sima Yi opened his mouth, but in the end he remained silent.

Before the battle, the enemy invites the generals to fight. If you don't dare, it will hurt your morale.

Xu Huang's fighting prowess is impressive. If Guan Yunchang hadn't come personally, his life would not be in danger.

Besides, when it comes to fighting generals, Xu Huang has never been afraid of anyone!

Xu Huang led his elite troops, who were also arranged in a square formation. He drove his horse forward and shouted loudly: "Who is coming? Tell me your name!"

Drive~

Guan Ping clamped his legs on the horse and drove it forward. He raised the spear in his hand, pointed it at Xu Huang and shouted loudly: "I am Guan Ping! Xu Huang, the thief general, do you dare to fight with me right now?"

Just Guanping?

A look of disdain appeared on Xu Huang's face.

"Young general Guan Ping, you are worthy of fighting with me? As a young man, it's better to let me come to you!"

"you!"

Being provoked by Xu Huang, Guan Ping's eyes turned red instantly, and he immediately rushed forward.

"What is the prince talking about, Guan Ping? I have never heard of his name. People like these who sell their heads by inserting bids will ask the future to take off his head for the prince!"

Lu Jian, the deputy general of the Wei army, immediately rode forward with a spear in hand.

Look down on you Grandpa Guan?

Guan Ping didn't waste any time, he immediately waved his spear and charged forward with his horse.

"Grandpa Guan will die for you!"

Guan Ping, holding a spear and riding on a horse, started a fierce battle with Lu Jian, the deputy general of the Wei army.

He has a tall and straight posture, sharp eyes, and is wearing armor, like a tiger on the battlefield.

The war horse stamped its four hooves and galloped across the battlefield, with dust flying. Guan Ping held the horse's reins steadily, and his spear danced in his hands, cutting through the air and making a sharp whistle. His body was strong and flexible, and every time he struck,

All packed with power and accuracy.

"Young general, don't be so arrogant!"

Lu Jian, who fought against him, was also extremely powerful. He held a spear and rode a war horse, showing excellent combat skills in the fierce duel.

The two of them were going back and forth, their moves were exquisite, and the light and shadow of swords intertwined, making the soldiers in the field applaud again and again.

The spears crisscrossed in the air, and the blades made sharp metallic sounds when they collided.

Guan Ping is agile and quick, attacking the opponent's defense line quickly and accurately, sometimes stabbing at vital points, sometimes slashing hard. His marksmanship is smooth and fluid, and every attack is full of power and skill.

Not to be outdone, the deputy general of the Wei army fought back vigorously, with gunshots flying, and formed a fierce contest with Guan Ping.

Their horses galloped across each other, and their bodies intertwined in the air, showing breathtaking fighting skills and skills.

Dang Dang Dang~

After dozens of rounds of fighting, Guan Ping also figured out Lu Jian's approach.

He roared angrily: "Hey! The thief general, come and take him to death!"

Guan Ping's spears were sometimes soaring like dragons, sometimes flashing like lightning, and their attacks were continuous, forcing the Wei army's deputy general Lu Jian to retreat steadily.

Dare you look down on me, Guan Ping?

With your skills, are you qualified to say this?

Guan Ping's eyes were firm and his whole body exuded unstoppable fighting momentum.

"General Lu is no match." Sima Yi had already seen it from the side.

Xu Huang snorted coldly and said, "What's the point of bullying my lieutenant? Are you willing to fight me for three hundred rounds?"

Xu Huang raised his long sword and moved forward, charging toward Guan Ping.

"Bah! You're so shameless, but you still want to hit more with less? Are you trying to deceive no one in our army?"

Hou Yin cursed angrily and immediately stepped forward to greet him.

He was originally going to confront Xu Huang, but when he saw Guan Ping shoot Lu Jian away, he then shouted at Hou Yin: "Leave Xu Huang to me, and you will deal with this defeated general!"

After saying that, Guan Ping immediately rode up to meet Xu Huang.
