Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

Perhaps it was ironic, but when the smell of blood was approaching, the weather was unusually bright.

The decisive battle has begun.

But in front of Yangping Pass, the woods in front of the mountains are full of vitality, and the golden sunshine is dancing lightly, bringing a leisurely and warm feeling.

Zhang Fei stood at the front of the infantry formation holding a snake spear that was eight feet long. He was not riding a horse and was in step with the infantry. He was only slightly ahead of the soldiers at the front of the infantry and charged towards the enemy first.

He has a deep understanding of the leadership ability forged through decades of fighting career.

In this kind of battle involving hundreds of thousands of people, it is useless to just move forward with momentum. When the enemy's black crows, twice as many as one's own, swarm forward, the sense of oppression is astonishing.

Once a soldier cannot bear this sense of oppression or is frustrated in the hedging, it is very likely that he will collapse.

Therefore, first, he must abandon his horse to prevent himself from being attacked and fight side by side with the soldiers;

Second, he must take the lead and arouse everyone's courage and courage, and cannot lose in the initial confrontation.

Because it is an endless open plain, the roads are extremely wide, but fortunately there are very few cavalry in the mountain roads, so the ones at the front of both Wei and Han are infantry!

"Kill, kill, kill——"

"Rush over and crush them—"

The armor was bright, the shields were held high, and there were soldiers holding spears, lances, and halberds. The tips of the spears and halberds were as bright as a forest, and they rushed forward amidst the shouts of killing.

As he rushed closer, he could still hear Xia Houyuan's loud shouting.

"Come on, no matter who it is, you will be rewarded with three taels of gold for each head -"

There are nearly 200,000 Shu troops. If they can win the great victory in Hanzhong with 600,000 taels of gold, it will undoubtedly... be completely acceptable to Cao Cao.

Such rewards greatly encouraged the soldiers of the Wei army. Many of them had only used copper coins in their lives and had never even seen what gold looked like. After receiving this reward and sending it home, they could buy two acres of thin farmland... for their families. Live a good life!

Because of this, no soldier would think twice about the previous defeat of Bashan and the current situation in the Wei Dynasty. Anyway, Xiahou Yuan had given the order and there was a huge reward ahead of him, so there was no reason not to rush forward with all his strength.

Facing the surging offensive of the Wei army.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa..." Zhang Fei slashed away several Wei soldiers in front of him with his snake spear, and then ordered loudly, "Shield in front, spear in back, charge forward——"

Suddenly, the Shu army's formation changed, and the shield soldiers suddenly stepped forward one by one. The raised shields formed a shield formation, and they slammed into the enemy with the force of the shield formation.

"Drink——"

"Brothers, rush forward and kill them all!"

Encounter on a narrow road and win bravely——

Zhang Fei's roar once again aroused the fighting spirit of the infantry!

At this time...covered by the first formation of Zhang Fei's infantry was the second formation of archers and crossbowmen.

"Aim, the enemy's center and rear——"

"shoot--"

But after hearing Huang Zhong's order, tens of thousands of crossbowmen fired in unison. The crossbow arrows filled the sky like locusts, waterfalls, and heavy rain. The Wei army's central and rear troops had just entered the shooting range. "The sound of the crossbow breaking through the wind resounded, dense... and extremely cruel and precise!

The middle army of the Wei army fell down immediately, and the people behind were rushed to the front. Some people kept turning over and falling to the ground, which caused the momentum of the Wei army to come with the crowd suddenly reduced by several points.

"General, the Shu army can shoot far with its crossbows, but our army's crossbowmen cannot shoot that far -"

Lieutenant General Ma Zun asked Xia Houyuan.

Xia Houyuan's eyes were cold, he squinted his eyes, only pondered for a moment, and then made a decision immediately.

"Then charge forward. All the troops will press forward and fight with them. I won't believe that those arrogant crossbows will still shoot crossbow bolts at the place of battle!"

Xia Houyuan's idea is very simple.

There is a gap in long-range ordnance, but as long as you rush through the range of the crossbow bolt, you can engage in contact combat. The Shu army's crossbow bolt will never be fired at the back of the friendly army!

In this way, it is enough to offset the impact of the "crossbow" to the greatest extent, and even the most powerful "continued crossbow" of the Shu army will lose its effect.

The deputy general Ma obeyed the order, shouted loudly, and quickly conveyed Xiahou Yuan's general order to the soldiers of the three armies.

However, when he shouted the first time, there was no chance to shout again.

Because a vermilion-red team suddenly rushed out from the intersection of the two armies. They rushed forward like a roc with spread wings. They poked a hole in the Wei army's formation overnight. They raised their swords and fell... on each Wei army. The soldiers' corpses were walking over, and they just used their weapons to slash and retract briefly, but... the effect was particularly terrifying, and everything they did was mutilated!

Even before the deputy general, Ma Zun, could recover, his head was flying and blood was pouring out.

At the same time, the scarlet leader who had slashed the enemy general leapt back to his original position, holding the sword across his chest and standing proudly.

Breaking into the enemy's formation like this, the momentum of slaughtering the enemy generals overnight instantly subdued the entire audience.

Even Xia Houyuan, who was not far away, was extremely shocked... He couldn't imagine that there seemed to be only three thousand people on the other side? But why is the fighting power so strong?

"Who killed my general?" Xia Houyuan pointed at the leading enemy general and shouted loudly.

But at this moment, the leader of the vermilion army stepped out and shouted loudly: "The murderer, Zhuge Ke -"

That's right, this army is the 3,000 Qiang people that Liu Chan assembled. Their inner armor is made of buffalo skin. Ordinary swords and knives can't break through the defense at all. Their weapons are made of steel, which can cut iron like mud and cut stone and break gold!

"Kill--"

With Zhuge Ke's shout, this army rushed forward like a sharp dagger, completely tearing apart the formation of the Wei army.

"Iron armor is being re-equipped--" Xiahou Yuan shouted loudly at the right time.

"Got the order--" Han De and his four sons Han Ying, Han Yao, Han Qiong, and Han Qi rushed forward.

For a while, the heavily-equipped soldiers in full iron armor were replaced to deal with this vermilion enemy army and the enemy's crossbows.

This trick really worked. Zhuge Ke's team of 3,000 Qiang people, even if their weapons were made of steel, could smash ordinary light armor overnight, but facing the enemy's heavy iron infantry, the offensive was immediately blocked.

In addition, the rain of arrows... was blocked by the Northern Iron Armored Soldiers. In fact, even if it was a close-range shooting, there were not many sharpshooters who could hit the gaps in the iron armor. With their cover, the entire Wei army's rear army stabilized at once. Almost no one fell in the first half, and only a small number fell in the second half.

But most of the Wei army still rushed to Zhang Fei's shield formation...

"Retreat——"

But Zhang Fei roared.

Those shield bearers suddenly put away their shields and retreated. The crossbowmen behind them also turned sideways, and a row of swordsmen emerged. These were the Shu army's superb martial arts warriors. They were lightly armored and their swords were as thin as ice. Dealing with those clumsy Wei soldiers in iron armor was just like chopping melons and vegetables. They only needed to chop at the joints where the enemy was not wrapped.

The occasional counterattacks were half a beat slower and could be easily avoided.

Halberd soldiers defeat spearmen, spearmen defeat cavalry, infantry defeat crossbowmen, and light sword warriors defeat heavy armored infantry. Zhang Fei can not only poke transparent holes in others, but he also has research on the restraint of arms!

Zhang Fei's name as the God of War is not just because he opened the eyes of heaven-

His martial arts and command are still the best in this era-

In fact, the armored soldiers of the Wei army who were trapped in the state of slaughter... were followed by light infantry.

These infantry... were originally prepared to be used as the main force of the final attack after breaking up the arrow formation.

Although the bloody slaughter in front was daunting, the arrow formation had been withdrawn after all, and they began to rush forward... passing over the armored soldiers of the friendly army and rushing to the enemy's sword-wielding warriors.

The flag of Fa Zheng's change of formation on the high platform was raised again.

All the light armored soldiers of the Shu army immediately moved to both sides quickly.

Behind them, even Huang Zhong had taken off the composite bow in his hand and replaced it with a lighter crossbow. He shouted loudly: "All soldiers, crossbows, eight-ox crossbows, shoot--"

The sound of the bowstring of the god of death rang again...

It turned out that after the infantry, lightly armed death soldiers, and crossbowmen, Fa Zheng also arranged crossbowmen and eight-ox crossbows to hide.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh--"

"Boom--"

For a while, the crossbows of both the crossbow and the eight-ox crossbow kept playing and roaring.

"Ah..."

"Ah..."

Screams and shrieks suddenly resounded.

In this round of rapid shooting, the casualties of the Wei army were even more severe than the previous wave.

Just as the Wei army began to panic and retreat, Han De shouted, "Don't be afraid, keep going forward. How many arrows can they have? I'm afraid they will run out of arrows! Hold on, go forward... close combat!"

Sure enough, when Han De spoke, the attack of the crossbow and the eight-ox crossbow slowed down, and it was precisely because of this that Han De was still a little proud.

But just when he was proud...

"Dad, be careful..."

At least three sons shouted this at the same time.

But, it was too late...

"Clang clang clang——"

A new round of crossbow arrows burst out again...Han De watched with his own eyes as a huge eight-ox crossbow arrow suddenly appeared in the sky and suddenly burst towards him, and then, accompanied by a "bang", he only felt that he was hit by something, and his internal organs were about to shatter...

But, in just a moment, he was cut off at the waist and lost consciousness.

"Dad..."

"Dad..."

Han De's two sons, Han Qiong and Han Qi, saw this and subconsciously rushed out of the army formation out of fear...to save their father, but just as they left the army formation.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh--"

After the eight bull crossbow arrows, dense crossbows followed one after another, and in an instant, the two were shot into hedgehogs--

"Dad...brother--"

The Han family had five people, and only two were left overnight.

They also subconsciously wanted to go out to save, but were held tightly by the deputy general.

"Can't go, the enemy's crossbow arrows are powerful, can't go...can't go--"

In fact, the battlefield had only just begun for half a quarter of an hour, and the bloody sunset was already filling the sky, and also dyed the increasingly scarlet battlefield red.

Of course...

Not every Shu army team had an advantage, such as Chen Dao, Yan Yan, and Huo Jun.

They...because they were directly facing the impact of Xiahou Yuan's Speed ​​Camp, the casualties were extremely heavy.

Even Yan Yan was surrounded by Cheng Wu, Cheng Yan, and Zhang Ji. Chen Dao and Huo Jun were injured to varying degrees, and they were in danger.

At this time, "Da Da Da", a group of Qiang cavalry suddenly rushed out from the flank...

Undoubtedly, on such an open plain, at this moment when the two armies were fighting, the cavalry's surprise attack would be fatal and dangerous.

Seeing this, this Qiang cavalry rushed towards Yan Yan...

"Gee——"

The dust was flying, and at the end of the Han army's formation, a cavalry group suddenly came out. The leader was Zhao Zilong from Changshan...

Ma Yunlu and Ma Dai are on his side, and behind Ma Yunlu and Ma Dai are the former Xiliang cavalry.

If the Qiang cavalry were to make a surprise attack on Yan Yan.

Then the cavalry team led by Zhao Yun launched a general attack on this Qiang cavalry!

"Look at the majesty of our Xiliang cavalry, who will kill you Qiang people——"

"To capture the thief, capture the king first, and hit the snake within seven inches! Take the head of the Qiang general first—"

Following the voices of Ma Yunlu and Ma Dai.

"Dedede", after the Zhaoye Jade Lion on Zhao Yun's crotch neighed, he jumped up and jumped into the enemy's formation...

The "Seven Detective Coiled Snake Spear" that the Wei army was extremely familiar with but that no one could understand began to stab back and forth in the Qiang cavalry formation.

Silver armor reflects the sun, drives away evil spirits and dispels filth——

The soaring dragon flies through the clouds, its head and tail missing——

The dragon lurks in the abyss, the spirit recovers from its injuries——

A thousand miles away, the red lotus shines in the world——

Finally, a bit of cold light arrived first, and then the gun came out like a dragon——

It seemed like... tens of thousands of Qiang knights were shocked and frightened because of Zhao Yun's bravery and bravery...

The Qiang cavalry formation, which was several times larger than the enemy, stopped advancing and retreated for a while...

The entire battlefield of the decisive battle became more and more intense, and the bayonets were red——

…

In the rear of the Wei army, on the high platform, Cao Cao stared at the battlefield with his tiger eyes.

He saw the Wei army's momentum, saw Xia Houyuan taking the lead, saw all the soldiers fighting with all their strength... but he also saw that the situation on the entire battlefield was gradually shifting towards the Han army.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is nothing wrong with the bravery and strategy of the Wei army. However, every move of Cao Cao's troops, every formation, and every strategy were anticipated by the opponent in advance, and they were always unpredictable. There are tactics corresponding to restraint, and there are always miraculous legions who can turn the tide——

"Who is commanding the Shu army?"

Cao Cao couldn't help groaning loudly, he already realized that something was wrong.

Liu Bei, he was too familiar with him. Even if the three of him and Liu Bei were tied together, they wouldn't be able to fight such a beautiful battle!

Next to him, Zhang Fang, the leader of the Five Pecks of Rice Cult, who was offering sacrifices to Zhitou, quickly replied: "It's Liu Bei's military advisor Fazheng... Tan Ma just came to report. Although Liu Bei is also on the command platform opposite, all military flags and all drum beating signals are from Fa Zheng issued..."

"That's right..." Cao Cao breathed out deeply and sighed with emotion: "I know that if Xuande doesn't do this, he will be taught by others... It's just the righteousness of the law! Humph, I have collected all the traitors, Is there no way to rectify evil alone?”

This is where I feel...

Zhang Fang quickly proposed, "Your Majesty, the ghost soldiers of the Five Dou Rice Cult have not yet come forward, and the thunderbolt chariots and catapults have not yet been put into use. Please give your order, and I will lead a group of ghost soldiers to smash these Shu with thunderbolt chariots and thousands of stones." thief!"

Zhang Fang suggested this, but Cao Cao couldn't help but fall into deep thought...

The Thunderbolt Chariot is his last resort. If this one is defeated by Fazheng, then this battle... will not be easy to fight!

Seeing Cao Cao's hesitation, Zhang Fang hurriedly asked for military service again, "Don't worry, my lord, this thunderbolt chariot has been improved by the craftsmen of my Five Pecks of Rice Sect. It can hit the enemy's rear army... If the enemy's rear army is in chaos, the powerful crossbow arrow formation will be broken." The whole front will surely fall apart soon!"

"good--"

This time, Cao Cao no longer hesitated. He frowned and said, "According to your words, start the Thunderbolt Chariot——"

"promise…"

Just when Zhang Fang agreed and was about to make arrangements.

"Report, report—"

A scout hurried over on horseback and saw Cao Cao on the high platform. He almost rolled up to the high platform. Isn't it because he saw Cao Cao? Or because he was too tired from galloping all the way, he knelt down on his knees with a "click" sound, and with his heavy breathing, he quickly reported: "The king is not good, there was an attack in Chenggu County, all the food and grass, all the food and grass." Burnt by the Han army...destroyed——"

"What? What did you say?"

When this piece of news reached Cao Cao's ears, his eyes widened almost instantly, so much so that he subconsciously turned his head and looked behind him...

But...because of the obstruction of Yangping Pass, he couldn't see the direction of Chenggu County.

He waved his hand subconsciously, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"All the Han troops are here, and there is no news of any Shu bandits in Dingjun Mountain? How could Chenggu County be attacked? How could the food that Zhang Tianshi left for Gu be destroyed?"

Cao Cao's eyes widened and his mouth grew bigger. Even an apple... could easily be stuffed into his mouth at this moment!

But...Cao Cao also knew that this kind of thing was related to the current situation of the Wei Dynasty, the Hanzhong battlefield, and the lives and fortunes of everyone here. There was no way that the scout would lie!

at this time.

"Report..."

Another messenger came with the news, "Hanzhong was attacked... Your Majesty, Hanzhong was attacked. It was... the Guan family army in Jingzhou... Shangyong and Fangling surrendered... The Guan family army came straight from there! Hanzhong... Hanzhong only had three thousand soldiers. Unable to resist... unable to resist, captured by the Guan Army!"

this…

Disastrous information came like mushrooms after rain. After a brief moment of shock, Cao Cao felt his legs weaken and staggered back...

"Where is Zhong Yao? Where is Zhong Yao?"

"Can't he defend Hanzhong? Can't he even get a message out?"

Cao Cao was extremely angry, and his entire words were full of madness and hysteria...

"Zhong... Zhong Siqing... Zhong Siqing... he... he surrendered, he surrendered to Han, and he also blocked the news... I... I also escaped from there with great difficulty!"

The messenger's words were almost the last straw that broke the camel's back...

Sure enough...

With a "bang", Cao Cao fell to the ground. Zhang Fang beside him didn't care to leave, and hurriedly helped Cao Cao up, only to see Cao Cao covering his head...

"My head hurts, my head hurts--"

At this time, the entire command platform was in chaos, and the surrounding soldiers soon discovered this.

Everyone showed great worry on their faces, and this worry quickly spread in the army!

And this undoubtedly gave the Wei army, which was already in a passive situation, a loud hammer.

Similarly...

Fa Zheng on the Shu army command platform also received a latest battle report.

Because he was the commander, this battle report was not sent to Liu Bei, but directly to Fa Zheng, so that he could make a judgment at the first time.

But... when this piece of information came into Fa Zheng's eyes, the calm Fa Zheng who had been playing against Cao Cao and had the upper hand disappeared, replaced by an excited, agitated... even unbelievable Fa Zheng.

This was the first time Liu Bei saw this good friend who was almost dancing with joy during the decisive battle between the two armies.

"Xiaozhi... Xiaozhi..."

"I know you are excited, but don't be so excited now, tell me... what happened?"

...
