The weakness of the Cao Clan was very obvious. They relied on their contributions to help Cao Cao rise to fame, causing any other battle general to only be a deputy general when they were partnered with them!
Moreover, once there was a strategic conflict, they would be suppressed by the clan relatives!
But to be honest, ever since Xiahou Dun led the army, he had basically suffered defeat!
But even so, his official position was slowly rising, which was why Zhang Yu suggested Cao Cao to give the battle generals a fair stage to display their talents!
Now that Cao Cao had agreed, everything was ready, except for the east wind!
Therefore, after hearing Xiahou Dun's words, Zhang Yu also opened his mouth to speak!
"Uncle Yuan Rang, there is a dense forest here, and there is only one way to walk. Moreover, if the dense forest is really blocking the way, the sounds of wild beasts and birds will definitely be endless!”
"But now, the forest is abnormally quiet. There's only one possibility!”
When Zhang Yu said this, Le Jin, who was at the side, thought of something and blurted out!
"Young General, are you saying that there are Western Liang soldiers lying in ambush here?”
Zhang Yu nodded when he heard Le Jin speak. Although it was his first time commanding a troop, he was familiar with history and had dabbled in many classic battles!
In addition, he knew that Cao Cao had been defeated in Xingyang, so he had been careful!
One must not underestimate this point. Ancient books were all made from bamboo slips, and all kinds of military books were secrets that were not passed down by aristocratic families!
Therefore, if one wanted to have a systematic study of the art of war, one had to be born into a family of generals or be exceptionally talented!
As for Le Jin, he was indeed worthy of being one of the Five Generals. With just a hint from Zhang Yu, he immediately knew about the strangeness of this place!
When Le Jin finished speaking, Zhang Yu also showed some admiration!
Then, Xiahou Dun tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand as if he was facing a great enemy!
Since Zhang Yu was the commander-in-chief of this expedition, even if he was Zhang Yu's uncle, he could only obey!
"Then, what do you think we should do now?”
When Xiahou Dun said this, Zhang Yu raised the bright silver spear in his hand and shouted at the nine hundred cavalry behind him!
"All soldiers, listen up. Immediately draw your bows and shoot towards the dense forest!”
At the next moment, after Zhang Yu gave the order, 900 arrows flew towards the dense forest!
Although these cavalrymen were gathered from all over the place and could not do riding and archery, Zhang Yu's army was currently motionless!
If they couldn't even do this, why would Zhang Yu let Gao Shun select them from the eight thousand Cao soldiers!
When the rain of arrows fell, the Western Liang army lying in ambush in the dense forest was immediately hit. Countless wails began to ring out!
Seeing this, Xu Rong, who was in charge of bringing up the rear, had a gloomy expression on his face. This ambush had actually failed!
Therefore, Xu Rong could only lead tens of thousands of Western Liang soldiers to charge out of the dense forest!
Apart from Xu Rong, there were also Lu Bu, Li Jue, and Guo Si. At a rough glance, there were no less than thirty thousand soldiers!
30,000 against 1,000, it was almost 30 times the difference!
No wonder, even if Cao Cao led 8,000 men here, they could only end up with almost complete annihilation!
However, according to Zhang Yu's judgment, the thousand or so cavalry under his command did not charge into the ambush. Instead, they were standing face to face with the Western Liang Army!
Moreover, they were all cavalry. Even if they wanted to leave, it would be easier!
When he saw Zhang Yu, Xu Rong also rode his horse out and exclaimed with a face full of praise!
"As expected of Zhang Yu, Zhang Mujun, the one who killed Hua Xiong and fought Marquis Wen. Everyone thought that your martial arts were strong, but they didn't expect it!”
"Your resourcefulness and sensitivity are not low either!”
As Xu Rong spoke, Zhang Yu only knew Lu Bu, Li Jue, and Guo Si. He had no impression of this new Battle General!
However, since he could stand side by side with Lu Bu and the others, and this place was near Xingyang, it must be Xu Rong!
On the other hand, after seeing Zhang Yu, Lu Bu's killing intent could not be suppressed!
Mistaking Zhang Yu's plan and causing him to lose Gao Shun, the Bingzhou Army's morale had changed drastically, and they were basically no longer as invincible as they were back then!
If not for Zhang Liao, the Bingzhou Army would really be finished!
However, even if Lu Bu knew of Gao Shun's importance, he had no way of letting Gao Shun return to his side!
"Thief Zhang Yu, you schemed against me. Today, you have no helpers, so I will definitely kill you under my horse!”
After saying this, Lu Bu waved his Heavenly Halberd and urged the Red Hare to charge at Zhang Yu!
Seeing this, Xu Rong couldn't help but hate Lu Bu for being brainless!
Now that the Western Liang Army had 30,000 soldiers in ambush and Zhang Yu only had a thousand cavalry, they should take advantage of the huge advantage in numbers to charge forward!
However, Lu Bu charged forward, turning the battle into a one-on-one battle!
If Lu Bu could kill Zhang Yu, then so be it. But the most important thing was that he couldn't!
Lu Bu was truly Lu Bu after losing all his advantages and then coming to a draw!
When Zhang Yu saw Lu Bu charging towards him, his face lit up with joy and he laughed!
"Good timing. You were foolish and afraid of death that day, so you made Gao Shun surrender to me. If you didn't suspect Dong Zhuo, how would you have fallen for my plan?”
After saying this, Zhang Yu charged at Lu Bu with his spear in hand!
The moment the two of them exchanged blows, they were killing each other. It was very lively!
However, when Li Jue and Guo Si heard the conversation between Zhang Yu and Lu Bu, their hearts were filled with dissatisfaction!
What did he mean?
"Could it be that Lu Bu has some sort of deal with Zhang Yu behind Dong Xiangguo's back?”
At the thought of this, the two of them could not sit still anymore. They wanted to return to Chang 'an quickly and complain to Dong Zhuo!
Since the Xi Liang Army and the Bingzhou Army did not like each other, they naturally had to suppress Lu Bu. Moreover, this guy had been put in an important position by Dong Zhuo recently, so it naturally caused dissatisfaction among these old confidants!
However, as Lu Bu and Zhang Yu began to fight, Xu Rong looked at Zhang Yu, who was fighting with only a thousand cavalrymen, with a look of suspicion on his face!
"Is Zhang Yu really not afraid of death? Since they discovered our ambush, they should have retreated. Why did they start fighting with Lu Bu instead?”
"Could he be stalling for time?”
Thinking of this, Xu Rong's expression immediately changed drastically!
It was also at this moment that dust and smoke filled the sky in the distance. It was as if countless armies were marching over from afar!
Seeing this scene, Xu Rong's expression immediately changed as he cried out in shock!
"Not good, Zhang Yu is stalling for time. The vassal army has arrived, quickly retreat!”
