Chapter 58: Battle Again

  Liu Bei is a powerful and ambitious warlord, also a potential enemy of Yan Liang. If he can take advantage of the situation to get rid of him, it would be great to eliminate such a formidable opponent.

  Yan Liang rode his horse and danced with his sword, rushing straight towards Liu Bei.

  At this time, Guan Yu's face had turned iron-gray.

  Watching the overall situation collapse like a mountain, watching as he fell into Yan Liang's trap again, Guan Yu's chest was filled with rage, almost bursting his lungs.

  In a fit of rage and humiliation, Guan Yu disregarded the unfavorable situation, mounted his horse, and charged towards Yan Liang.

  In the chaos of the army, Yan Liang's eagle eyes scanned and saw a raging flame surging towards him in his field of vision.

  That overwhelming killing intent had already surged forth even before the battle began.

  When he met Guan Yu again, Yan Liang had no fear in his heart.

  If we talk about the first battle of White Horse, Yan Liang was not very familiar with his own martial arts. Now, after experiencing various cruel battles, Yan Liang has confidence in his own martial arts and will not be inferior to Guan Yu.

  "I'll accompany you in another battle and let you witness Yan Liang's true strength."

  With a loud shout, Yan Liang danced his sword and broke through the chaotic army, advancing towards Guan Yu.

  One red and one black streak of light, piercing through the bloody mist that fills the sky, colliding with a loud crash.

  A deafening metallic screech pierced through the air, shockingly loud, and actually drowned out the battle cries on the battlefield.

  Wrong horse and pass by, Yan Liang's blood only slightly fluctuated and then calmed down. When he turned his horse around, what he saw was Guan Yu's shocked expression.

  At the beginning of the Battle of White Horse, Guan Yu's first three fatal blows did not take Yan Liang's life, but also suppressed Yan Liang, forcing him to barely cope.

  But now, after being separated for several months and meeting again, he had put all his strength into one knife strike with the momentum of overturning mountains and seas, yet Yan Liang received it so calmly.

  Yan Liang's calm and unruffled expression, his steady breathing, all of his composure gave Guan Yu a deep shock.

  "Could it be that Yan Lian is intentionally hiding his strength? Otherwise, how could he easily block this sword of mine?"

  Guan Yu was astonished in his heart, and his jujube-red face had turned bright red.

  Yan Liang reined in his horse and stood up, pointing the tip of his knife at Guan Yu, coldly smiling: "Guan Yu, you have fallen into my trap. Dismount and surrender, perhaps I will consider sparing your life."

  As soon as these words came out, Guan Yu's face suddenly became extremely ferocious, and his anger erupted like a volcano.

  Under heaven, how many people dare to make the beautiful beard surrender, Yan Liang's contemptuous words are simply a shame to Guan Yu.

  Stimulated by this, Guan Yu could no longer hold back his anger and, like a thunderclap, loudly shouted as he charged towards Yan Liang on horseback.

  Yan Liang was very calm, and his humiliating words were intentionally meant to provoke Guan Yu.

  He was well aware of Guan Yu's arrogant and proud temperament, although he had the ability to command troops, but whenever his opponent showed disrespect towards him, he would easily be provoked by anger and lose control.

  Once his reason was obscured by anger, he gave Yan Liang an opportunity to strike him.

  Facing Guan Yu's fierce attack, Yan Liang showed no fear, but instead let out a cold laugh and struck back with his horse.

  The ape's arm swung out, Yan Liang's large knife grasped in his hand, sweeping out with the force of a landslide, cutting straight towards Guan Yu to sever him at the waist.

  Guan Yu let out a low shout, and his Green Dragon Crescent Blade also swung out in a slanting arc, wrapped in a mist of blood.

  Ahh!

  A loud metallic clang echoed through the air, sparks flying everywhere amidst a mist of blood. Yan Liang and Guan Yu's figures simultaneously wavered slightly.

  He barely parried Guan Yu's second slash, and Yan Liang's vital energy wavered slightly before steadying itself. As their horses crossed paths, he counterattacked with another slash.

  Two people bring out the best in each other and fight as one.

  Layers of iron curtains shrouded the area, and as the blade passed by, those careless little soldiers who got too close all became tragic ghosts under his knife.

  In the blink of an eye, fifty moves had passed, Yan Liang's spirit was roused, his knife techniques poured out like a tidal wave, and he fought Guan Yu to a stalemate, with neither gaining the upper hand.

  At this time, Liu Bei of the Central Army had recovered from his astonishment.

  Seeing Yan Liang's iron cavalry coming out, Liu Bei hastily ordered: "Shouzhi, quickly lead 2,000 central troops to the front and block the enemy cavalry's momentum."

  Next to him, General Chen Daodi received the order and hastily led 2,000 soldiers and horses to charge forward, quickly forming a new formation.

  The large shields were in front, with long spears protruding from the gaps. In an instant, a stern iron wall was formed.

  Facing the rolling arrival of iron cavalry, these two thousand people were fearless, and Mount Tai collapsed in front of them without changing color.

  Chen's two thousand troops were not ordinary soldiers, but the famous Dan Yang soldiers from Yangzhou, who were extremely brave and had helped Tao Kan stabilize Xuzhou in the past.

  After Liu Bei accepted Xuzhou, the Dan Yang army returned to his command. After several defeats, only over 2,000 men were left, but they were elite troops that could fight against ten times their number. Liu Bei encountered many dangers, and it was only due to the desperate protection of the Dan Yang army that he was able to escape with his life.

  At this moment, seeing that the vanguard had been defeated, Liu Bei feared that Yan Liang's heavy cavalry would destroy the central army in one fell swoop. By now, only the Dan Yang troops could be mobilized.

  "This iron array is set up, even if you have cavalry, how can you break my formation? Yan Liang, you underestimate me Liu Bei."

  Liu Bei gazed out at his elite Dan Yang army formation, stroking his beard, a hint of confidence flowing across his face.

  Just as Liu Bei was savoring his triumph, his face was instantly replaced by astonishment.

  But then from within the city of Biyang, several thousand infantrymen burst out like a flood breaking through a dam, charging towards our formation with fierce cries.

  Liu Bei was really flustered, he originally thought that Yan Liang had only led the cavalry to rush overnight to reinforce Biyang, but unexpectedly, Yan Liang brought several thousand infantrymen in addition to the 500 heavy cavalry.

  "Where did these infantry come from? Why didn't our scouts report anything? Did they just drop from the sky?"

  Liu Bei was terrified and shouted loudly, his formation already in disarray.

  Five hundred heavy cavalry, plus three thousand infantry, even if his Dan Yang army was elite, how could they withstand this double impact.

  At this moment, from the northwest direction, a distant and long-lasting bugle call suddenly sounded, as if it came from another world.

  Liu Bei instinctively looked up and gazed into the distance, where he saw a large number of dust and dirt rising in all directions. In the swirling dust and fog, it seemed as if countless cavalrymen were emerging from the underworld like ghosts, charging towards him at an angle.

  That army was precisely Yan Liang's light cavalry, the Divine Speed Riders

  "Light cavalry, Yan Liang actually brought light cavalry!"

  Liu Bei's expression turned pale in an instant, and he was shocked and puzzled in his heart. He couldn't figure out how Yan Liang dared to ignore Liu Biao's threat and almost mobilized all the elite troops to deal with him.

  In the chaos of the army, he saw the infantry and light cavalry rushing out together, and Yan Liang's confidence grew even more.

  With a loud shout, he launched several attacks in a row, forcing Guan Yu to retreat several steps and gaining a slight advantage.

  "Guanyu, you want to continue fighting? I'll accompany you till the end. However, your brother might not be able to hold on until we determine the winner."

  Yan Liang stood with his sword held high and a horse by his side, looking up at him with a sarcastic tone.

  Guanyu, having lost his mind, was single-mindedly intent on killing Yan Liang and had no inkling of the changes in the battlefield.

  At this time, a glance around revealed that Liu Bei's central army had been attacked by the enemy's light cavalry.

  The outcome is already decided.

  "Yan Liang dog thief——"

  Guan Yu's face turned iron-green, his eyes blazing with anger as he glared at Yan Liang, his expression a mix of indignation and astonishment.
