Chapter 571: Battle of Surabaya Begins
Chapter 572: The Battle of Surabaya
"General Zhang, this is the gauntlet sent by Yang Yanzhao. He invited us to a decisive battle in three days. Take a look!" Kou Fei handed the gauntlet sent by Yang Yanzhao to Zhang Jie, with a serious expression on his face. How many years has it been? Well, he hasn't really met someone who would fight a decisive battle if they disagreed. Shouldn't the normal way of thinking be to test each other and seek a good opportunity?Whoever comes up will fight directly.

Zhang Jie took the letter of war, opened it, looked at it, and said disdainfully: "This Yang Yanzhao is really suffocated, eager for success, and actually intends to fight to determine the outcome. Could it be that he really thinks that Deng Jun is invincible?"

"The general Zhang thinks, should we accept this battle?" Kou Fei asked again. It's one thing for Yang Yanzhao to fight, but it's another thing whether they accept it or not.

Zhang Jie thought for a while and said, "I think we can take it. After all, the two sides are equally strong. In a real fight, it is not certain who will win. Moreover, this is Xiapi, not Guangling. Speaking of it, our odds of winning are still higher than Deng Jun's." Woolen cloth."

"However, after all, Yang Yanzhao is one of the three generals of the Deng Kingdom. His structure and ability are top-notch in the world. Since he dares to fight directly, he must have something to rely on. If he fights rashly, he may fall into his trap. I am not afraid of Deng Jun, no Dare to take on the challenge, but I just feel that I need to think it over." Kou Fei said more cautiously.

"Hehe!" Zhang Jie smiled disdainfully, and said, "Does General Kou think highly of Yang Yanzhao? If he is really capable, why has Deng Huang stayed in Wancheng for so many years? To be honest, if This time it's Yue Fei, Chang Yuchun, and even Xue Rengui who came here, I might be a little bit afraid, but Yang Yanzhao who has an empty name, why should I be afraid of him?"

It is reasonable for Zhang Jie to be so arrogant. Since he followed Li Rubing, he has only suffered losses at the hands of Yue Fei. After the Battle of the Central Plains started, he made great strides in Guangling. Wei couldn't hold his head up. If it wasn't for problems in the rear, he might have broken through Guangling City long ago. How could there be such broken things as Xiapi City?

"Then General Zhang means that we will fight?" Kou Fei said.

"That's natural. Since Yang Yanzhao wants to die so anxiously, then we will fulfill him. I want Yang Yanzhao to understand that we are not those generals from Deng who will spoil him, nor those wastes from Wu and Xiang. , in front of my big Zhao Xiongshi, his methods are insignificant." Zhang Jie nodded, with a strong fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Well, I'll send someone to see Yang Yanzhao to take over this battle, but Deng Jun must not be underestimated. When the time comes to fight, it is better to play by ear." Kou Fei said.

"I have seen General Yang. I have ordered General Kou and General Zhang to come to take over the battle in three days. This is the reply letter from the two generals. Please read it over by General Yang!" The replies from Kou Fei and Zhang Jie were passed to Yang Yanzhao.

Yang Yanzhao nodded, received the reply, and did not open it immediately, but said to the messenger: "Go back and tell Kou Fei and Zhang Jie that you will receive a reply. We will see you in three days. Go back!"

"Farewell!"

After the envoy left, Yang Yanzhao said to everyone: "Three days later will be the day of the decisive battle, right or wrong will be decided at that time, please go back and prepare well, generals, to win this battle for my great Deng!"

"Please rest assured, General, my Great Deng will surely win this battle!" Everyone responded in unison.

Three days later, in the 28th year of Qianyuan, on May [-]th, the two armies of Deng and Zhao formed a formation on the banks of the Sishui River. The total strength of the two sides reached more than [-].

Before the formation of the two armies, Kou Fei and Zhang Jie looked at each other, then rode out into battle, and shouted to Deng Jun's position: "Kou Fei (Zhang Jie) please tell General Yang Yanzhao!"

Hearing that Kou Fei and Zhang Jie wanted to meet him, Yang Yanzhao rode out immediately, and replied, "This general is Yang Yanzhao, what advice do General Kou and Zhang Jie have?"

Zhang Jie smiled, and said: "General Yang's name, I've heard it all, but I heard that General Yang has been stationed in Wancheng for many years, and he hasn't been on the battlefield for many years. I don't know how brave he is back then? Why bother?" What about this muddy water? If the halberd sinks into the sand under the city of Xiapi, wouldn’t the general’s reputation be weakened for many years?”

Although the words in Zhang Jie's words were not very violent, the meaning expressed was to look down on Yang Yanzhao.

Deng Jun's generals were very angry when they heard the words, but Yang Yanzhao was not angry. After all these years of accumulation, Yang Yanzhao's self-cultivation is still very good, Zhang Jie's mere words cannot be angered.

"Alas..." Yang Yanzhao sighed, and said: "There are no heroes in this era, but Lizi became famous, and a mere child with a yellow mouth dared to speak nonsense. Xiaoer, you dare to show off your might in front of this general today, could it be that you think of yourself as Xin Zhao?"

"Hmph!" Zhang Jie sneered, and said, "Yang Yanzhao, you're old too, you don't want to spend your days in Wancheng, but you want to shame yourself here. The three generals of the Deng Kingdom will show you your true colors today!"

When Yang Yanzhao heard the words, he stopped talking, turned his head and returned to the formation, and said to everyone: "The battle is about to start, I wonder which general is willing to go forward and make the first contribution?"

"The last general Guan Ling is willing to win the first merit for our army!" Guan Ling responded, then rode out to the front of the two armies, and shouted: "I am the Great Deng Yongping, General Guan Ling, and the opposite Zhao General, who dares to fight!"

"Guan Ling has also grown up, quite like his father Guan Sheng!" Looking at the majestic Guan Ling in front of him, Yang Yanzhao sighed. When Guan Sheng was still there, he was only about one level lower than him. During the period, the relationship was also very good. When Guan Sheng died in the battle, Yang Yanzhao also felt very sorry. Now that Guan Sheng's descendants are so majestic, Yang Yanzhao can't help but sigh.

Guan Yu, who was on the side, was also very comforted when he saw his nephew's demeanor. Of the two brothers, Guan Sheng died young, leaving only one son, Guan Ling, and himself only two sons. The eldest son Guan Ping and the second son Guan Suo have also joined the army Yes, but compared with Guan Ling, it's not even a little bit worse. The person who can support a closed family in the future must be Guan Ling.

"Who is going to fight this general?" Kou Fei turned his head and said to the generals under his command. Zhang Jie's general and Yong Pingwei are also old opponents, and they also know Guan Ling's strength, so they are not in a hurry to stand out. The generals Kou Fei brought from Pengcheng were eager to try.

I saw a general rode his horse out of the battle, came to Guan Ling, held a spear, and shouted loudly: "I am Shi Shideng, the general of Dazhao, Guan Ling, die!"
"Overestimating one's abilities!" Guan Ling's eyes turned cold, and he gently swung the long knife in his hand to block Shi Shideng's blow.

"What!" Seeing that Guan Ling took his own blow so easily, Shi Shideng was startled, thinking that although he was not at the top of the Zhao army, he could still be number one, at least under Kou Fei's command. His strength can also enter the top five. Now that Guan Ling blocked his own blow so easily, Shi Shideng couldn't help but be surprised.

Shi Shideng is very clear that Guan Ling's strength is likely to be higher than his own. Although the blow just now did not go all out, but he was able to follow it so easily. Looking at the entire Zhao army, except for the top generals, There are very few of them, no wonder Li Rubing often said that there are so many fierce generals in Deng's army, it seems to be true.

Thinking of this, Shi Shideng no longer had any reservations at the moment, and tried his best to attack Guan Ling. It has to be said that Shi Shideng still has some skills, and Guan Ling has also become serious from the easy response at the beginning, but serious How could Shi Shideng be able to deal with closing the bell?

I saw that Guan Ling used the Spring and Autumn Saber Technique, which was taught to him by Guan Yu. Guan Sheng died early and did not teach Guan Ling anything. However, Hua Xiong, Guan Sheng’s younger brother, is far behind Guan Yu in strength. , Guan Ling has no reason not to learn from Guan Yu's skills, but to learn from Hua Xiong's.

"Deng!" Between the collision of swords and guns, I saw Shi Shideng retreating a few steps in a row, very embarrassed, looking at Guan Ling with solemn eyes, now the two of them have been fighting for less than ten rounds, and he has been completely suppressed. Not a solution.

"Ling'er is still too young, and the fighting general is inexperienced. Otherwise, General Zhao will either die or be seriously injured at this time, but Ling'er's strength should not be inferior to mine!" Guan Yu, who was in Deng Jun's formation, saw the superior Guan Ling frowned and said.

From Guan Yu's point of view, although Shi Shideng has some abilities, he can never be compared with Guan Ling. With Guan Ling's strength, if it is not for the lack of experience of the general, Shi Shideng is either dead or seriously injured.

"Since this is the case, it is better to ask General Guan to teach him more in the future. We are also old, and we will rely on these young people to support Deng's sky in the future. After all, Guan Ling is also General Guan's nephew." Yang Yanzhao touched Beard said.

"Don't worry, the general, the general knows what to do." Guan Yu nodded and said.

At this time, Guan Ling and Shi Shideng also decided the winner. Guan Ling fired all his firepower, Shi Shideng couldn't stop him at all, and was suppressed by Guan Ling with all his strength. In the end, he could only take Guan Ling's blow with his left shoulder, and then fled in a hurry Back to the formation.

Seeing Guan Ling's defeat of the enemy general, Deng Jun's morale immediately rose, but Zhao Jun's morale seemed a little low.

"General Zhang, the great general once said that Deng's army is full of fierce generals, and we may suffer a lot from the battle. It seems that this fight will not continue." Kou Fei frowned and said to Zhang Jie.

Deng Jun's fierce general Ruyun has long been known to everyone in the world, but Kou Fei has never fought against Deng Jun's fierce generals, and he also has several fierce generals in his hand, so it is just a fluke, but now Deng Jun A random general from the army can easily defeat the top five generals under him, which shows his strength.

Zhang Jie also nodded. He fought back and forth with Deng Jun several times in Guangling, and he knew the strength of General Deng Jun quite well. In terms of army strength, Zhao Jun is not afraid of Deng Jun, but when it comes to the quality of fierce generals, the generals are inferior. Not a star and a half, once upon a time.There are also fierce generals in the Zhao army, but after several times of major purges in the army, coupled with the death of many veteran fierce generals, the old and the old, there are also young and old generals in the Zhao army, younger generals, there is no way to take over. work.
