Chapter 79 Slaying Yan Liang
Chapter 79 Slaying Yan Liang
Guan Yu rode out of the city, followed by his more than a thousand soldiers who lined up behind him.
He knew very well that this action did not represent himself, but rather his elder brother and lord.
If we fail, it will bring endless trouble and give others ammunition to criticize us!
and so.
We must succeed!
at the same time.
Yan Liang, carrying a large sword, stood in front of the army, coldly watching the man who came out of Kaiyang City, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
After receiving Yuan Shao's order to lead troops to support Wen Chou.
He has never truly gone all out even once!
That Xiahou Dun is a coward; he only knows how to stay in the city and never come out.
It was precisely because of this that Yan Liang always harbored a deep resentment.
He wanted to vent his anger for Wen Chou through a fierce battle, and more importantly, to make a name for himself!
When we return victorious, it's obvious that our lord will personally come out of the city to welcome us and give us the utmost respect!
"Who goes there? State your name!" Yan Liang raised his broadsword and pointed it at Guan Yu, shouting.
"My great sword will not slay nameless nobodies!"
Upon hearing these arrogant words, Guan Yu almost burst out laughing.
Are all of Yuan Shao's men like this?
Why not kill the nameless ones? We'll soon find out whether they're famous or not!
Guan Yu sneered, and charged forward with his bronze crescent blade.
He roared, his voice filled with murderous intent, and it echoed in all directions!
Because he was so fast, many of Yuan's soldiers didn't even have time to react before they saw Guan Yu already rushing towards them.
Yan Liang's expression changed drastically, and he quickly drew his sword to meet the enemy...
however.
He was stunned by the enormous roar and was momentarily disoriented!
Although it was only for a fleeting moment, it was significant for a battle of this level.
Such a small mistake could be fatal!
Almost instinctively, Yan Liang raised his sword, attempting to block Guan Yu's attack in this way.
But this makeshift solution is completely useless when faced with a giant sword falling from the sky!
"clang!!!!"
A clear metallic clanging sound rang out!
Yan Liang felt his hands go numb, and he could barely hold onto his broadsword!
He was about to urge his warhorse to retreat, create some distance, and then re-enter the battle.
But Guan Yu gave him no chance at all. He suddenly turned his Green Dragon Crescent Blade and slashed upwards!
In just a moment, Yan Liang's broadsword was knocked away.
The broadsword spun several times in the air before finally landing not far away and embedding itself firmly in the ground.
It's a long story, but it all happened in an instant!
By the time Yan Liang reacted, all that was in front of him was a Green Dragon Crescent Blade that gleamed with a cold light and exuded murderous intent!
"puff……"
As blood splattered, Yan Liang's head flew off, rolling a considerable distance before slowly coming to a stop.
His body remained on the warhorse for a moment before finally collapsing with a thud.
"attack!!"
Guan Yu raised his arm and shouted again, and the 1,500 soldiers who had been prepared rushed over with a roar.
Upon witnessing their commander's death, Yuan's army was thrown into chaos and could not withstand the attack of the Qingzhou soldiers.
This is a battle with no suspense whatsoever!
From leading his troops out of the city gate to defeating Yuan's army, Guan Yu only took less than half an hour.
On the Kaiyang city tower.
Xiahou Dun and Xun Yu witnessed this scene firsthand, their expressions filled with shock.
Especially Xiahou Dun...
to be frank.
At first, he really didn't take this person seriously.
He felt somewhat uncomfortable when Xun Yu mentioned that the lord favored him.
I never expected his strength to be so terrifying.
If he were in Yan Liang's position, Xiahou Dun really couldn't guarantee that the outcome would be better than Yan Liang's.
After a brief moment of shock, Xun Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter!
OK!
that is really good!
With Guan Yu killing Yan Liang, Li Zhao could no longer remain uninvolved.
This was undoubtedly fantastic news for them!
Regardless of what happens next, Li Zhao will inevitably bear the brunt of Yuan Shao's wrath.
When that time comes, they can take advantage of the situation and strike, but they cannot be completely bound together.
"General, it's your turn to shine now!" Xun Yu turned to look at Xiahou Dun and said, word by word.
"Now is not the time to be impulsive, General, you must think this over carefully!"
Xiahou Dun didn't say anything, and quickly led his men away.
Not long after.
He then led his army out of Kaiyang City and headed straight for Guan Yu and his men.
The original intention was to use this method to help Guan Yu clean up the mess.
But what happened next was something even Xun Yu hadn't anticipated!
The Qingzhou soldiers who were charging on the battlefield were caught in the moment when Xiahou Dun and his men appeared.
They all retreated in an orderly fashion, forming a counter-encirclement at an unimaginable speed.
They completely surrounded Xiahou Dun and his army.
The whole process was so fast!
It happened so fast that even Xun Yu on the city wall was caught off guard.
To know.
This is on the battlefield!
Even orders from the commander-in-chief take time to be relayed.
Especially at times like these, many people are blinded by rage and may not be able to obey orders.
The Qingzhou army led by Guan Yu reacted so quickly and acted in such a unified manner.
This only shows that they have trained repeatedly and have absolute obedience to the formation.
Xiahou Dun was clearly frightened!
He immediately addressed those around him, saying, "General Guan, please don't misunderstand, I've brought men here to help!"
"Whatever you do, don't do it!"
At this moment, Guan Yu ignored the fleeing Yuan army and instead turned his horse around to return.
With just a casual wave of his hand, all the Qingzhou soldiers put away their weapons and stood there indifferently.
Even at this moment, they remained extremely vigilant, watching their surroundings and ready to take action at any time.
"General Xiahou, please bear with me..."
"That's how we train: we never leave our backs exposed, giving others an opening!"
Guan Yu looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Now that the siege of Kaiyang has been lifted, we must take our leave!"
"No, no, no..." Xiahou Dun dismounted and quickly approached.
"General Guan cannot leave now; Yuan's army might launch a counterattack!"
"If you leave here, General, even I cannot guarantee what will happen. Please stay a little longer!"
"When the opportunity arises, I will personally escort the general away!"
"Is that so?" Guan Yu remained seated on his warhorse, looking down at him.
Even if he were to leave, this wouldn't be the time; this was something Guan Yu did intentionally.
The two of them were in a state that resembled Xiahou Dun respectfully reporting something to him.
To most soldiers who didn't understand the specifics, the two men's positions had been completely reversed.
Guan Yu... has overwhelmed Xiahou Dun in terms of momentum, so he is the one in charge here!
"Yes! General Guan, please go into the city to rest!"
"good!"
Guan Yu rode ahead, with Xiahou Dun and his men following closely behind...
