Three Kingdoms

On the mountain ridge, Huang Cheng sat cross-legged on a stone, like a statue. The soldiers of the mountain camp under his command are scattered in all directions and seem messy. However, if you look carefully, you will find that these soldiers are actually divided into three parts. Some are responsible for guarding, some are organizing weapons and equipment, and the rest Just like Huang Cheng, he is recharging his energy.

It was not until the faint sound of shouting came that Huang Chengcai seemed to be awakened, opened his eyes, and then stood up.

This is the bad thing about Sichuan and Sichuan. As far as you can see, there are mountains. They are all strange-shaped, big and small, climbable and impossible, wooded and bald. There are mountains of all shapes and sizes. It also blocked his sight. Even if Huang Cheng looked far into the distance, he could faintly see some black smoke rising from behind the ridge on the opposite side.

However, the screams of the men and horses gradually grew louder. It seemed that more and more voices were joining in, shaking the valley, as if they wanted to completely wake up this sleeping area.

Most people would feel scared when hearing this sound, but to Huang Cheng's ears, he felt as if the blood in his body began to surge with the sound, impacting his heart, hands and feet, bursting out with infinite power.

"Finally here!"

Huang Cheng took out a bamboo whistle about one finger long from his arms, put it in his mouth, and blew it. The small beads inside the bamboo whistle were vibrated by the airflow, flipped up and down, and made a sharp and rapid bird call. sound. Immediately, more whistles and birdsong sounded. The sounds gathered in one place, like a group of birds being startled in the forest, or like the mountain mist blowing and swaying eagerly before a storm. treetops.

As soldiers who mainly run between mountains, carrying tall tooth flags and huge horn drums in dense forests and shrubs is undoubtedly the type of thankless work. Therefore, the main contact method and communication of mountain camps One method of giving orders is a whistle, and the other is a bamboo whistle like this.

The soldiers in the Zhengxi Mountain Camp in the mountainous area were also ordered to wear armor and carry guns. Then, under the leadership of the commander and team leader, they climbed the mountain wall or hid behind the rocks in accordance with the previous arrangements. Or hiding in the bushes, it was like a large group of people disappeared on both sides of the mountain in the blink of an eye.

The long-term training and familiarity with the mountain terrain were clearly demonstrated at this moment. Without too many orders and adjustments, these Huang Cheng's men were like old hunters in the mountains for many years. Yazai is waiting for the prey to arrive...

The Conquest of the West became famous because of the cavalry in the Conquest of the West.

The cavalry of Zhengxi started from the north, and then moved from north to south. It became larger and larger, and became more and more elite and powerful. However, even though the cavalry had many advantages, it also had many disadvantages. At least in the mountains and forests, the cavalry seemed The cavalry, which is extremely heavy and slow, and does not have enough space to gallop, may not even be able to defeat a pikeman under such extreme conditions...

As the territory of Zhengxi expands, more types of soldiers will be needed. Of course, it is not impossible to develop ordinary soldiers like Wanjinyou, but General Fei Qian of Zhengxi believes that the soldiers can be more capable and dedicated. If you are older, don't just randomly pull people's heads and stuff them with a spear and call them soldiers.

When Huang Cheng was training these mountain soldiers in Shangyong, although Fei Qian did not personally provide guidance to Shangyong, he and Huang Cheng communicated and exchanged ideas through official documents, which allowed Huang Cheng to get rid of his original old feelings during the training process. The model of ordinary soldier training has created a new soldier concept, and now, it is time to test the results.

Although Huang Cheng's riding skills are not bad, good riding skills do not necessarily make him a good cavalryman. Compared with Zhang Liao, who spends his days on horseback, he has an almost intuitive understanding of war horses, row spacing, battle formation distance, and horse speed. , Zhang Ji, Gan Feng and others, Huang Cheng is still far behind. Therefore, Huang Cheng can only become a general who can ride a horse, but not a cavalry general.

To have a certain status under Zheng Xi's command, one must either be like Xun Chen, who is an outstanding scholar and proficient in political affairs, and can sit in the rear and strategize, or be like Xu Shu, who is capable of both literary and military skills and can serve as a front-line commander. Either he has extraordinary bravery and can kill the enemy on the battlefield and command the troops. However, Huang Cheng seems to be lacking in these aspects. Apart from wearing the Huang family brand on his body, he doesn't seem to have much. Advantage.

Now, it's time to prove that I don't just have the name Huang...

Huang Cheng took a deep breath, held the handle of the sword tightly, and the veins on the back of his hand swelled, then relaxed again, moved a little, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared closely at the mountain road ahead. I felt that the blood in my heart was constantly rolling and rolling, like a suppressed crater, just waiting for the moment to erupt.

…………………………

Wei Yan fled in a bit of a panic. The reason for his embarrassment was not that he wanted to pretend to retreat. After all, it was impossible for the second- and third-rate Guanghan soldiers led by Zhao Wei to resist the joint attack of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's level of battlefield warriors, so Wei Yan did not retreat. Wei Yan felt that something was too frustrating. The main reason why Wei Yan felt very unhappy was because Zhang Fei, who was following closely behind him, was yelling and screaming along the way...

"You rat with cold arrows! Stop and fight San Lily with Third Master if you dare!"

"The dwarf with a black face! He escaped very quickly! His abilities are all in his legs!"

"What a man! When you get into the battle formation, you can only run away!"

Zhang Fei shouted all the way, his voice was extremely loud, as if he was talking behind Wei Yan, and he didn't say that his breath was unstable due to chasing and running, and his voice was attenuated.

"..." Wei Yan was so angry that his teeth were almost broken, but there was no way he could still have such a large lung capacity while running like Zhang Fei, and he could still shout out, but he could only have a stinky face. He admitted that Zhang Fei was extremely talented and could not compete in this aspect, so he buried his head and pretended not to hear.

Zhang Fei was yelling and scolding happily, but he didn't notice that the gap between the soldiers on both sides was showing up bit by bit. Although Zhang Fei's soldiers have traveled a long distance and have no physical advantage over Wei Yan's soldiers, normally, within three to five miles, the gap will not be so obvious...

At first it felt like it was just a little bit close, as if I could reach out and grab it. Then when I wielded my sword to cut it, I found that it was just a little bit short. Only the spear could reach it. When I switched to a long spear to pierce it, the spear was also just a little bit behind. , the bow and arrow can be shot, but when I picked up the arrow and put it on the bow, I found that chasing and shooting like this, the arrow was just a little bit...

The two sides unknowingly changed from a state of staggering to one behind the other. Zhang Fei's soldiers struggled to catch up, but found that their speed did not decrease, and they were even harder than before, but Wei Yan's soldiers were still flying in front. A piece of sand is thrown up, but there is no way to catch up.

"Third General! Three... General... Army..." A messenger used all his strength to catch up with Zhang Fei from behind. While following Zhang Fei, he struggled to say, "...Guan, Guan The general... said, said... no, no more pursuit... go back, go back..."

"Huh?" Zhang Fei rolled his eyes, feeling that he still couldn't hold his breath, "What did you say? Louder!"

"...Huh...cough cough cough..." Just when the ordering soldier wanted to take a breath and repeat himself, Zhang Fei slapped him on the back with a "pop" sound. His breath suddenly became interrupted and he began to cough. He couldn't help but stop, and he couldn't continue to catch up with Zhang Fei.

"Go back and tell General Guan, wait for a certain hour! I will take the head of this thief! Hahahaha! Guys, work harder. After tonight's victory, I will treat everyone to a drink!" Zhang Fei yelled, Abandoning the messenger, he led his men and chased forward.

"Cough cough, cough cough..." The messenger huffed, and after he straightened his breathing, he helplessly watched Zhang Fei and others retreat, and could only turn around and go back to report.

…………………………

At this moment, Guan Yu was at the place where Wei Yan had built a small half of the camp. He looked at the camp that was beginning to take shape and the wood and some equipment piled aside. He brushed his long beard and narrowed his eyes slightly. He felt that this attack was effective. , just right. If Zhengxi had really established the camp completely before attacking, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as smooth as it was today.

"General, are these... going to be burned?" a sergeant said, pointing to Wei Yan's half-built camp.

Guan Yu and others did not intend to occupy this camp, because the main function of this camp was actually to block the exit of Wuli Jian, and the back of the camp was very wide. If Guan Yu and others set up camp here, it would actually be equivalent to They gave up their advantageous location and exposed themselves to a more open place.

As for the enemy's camp that cannot be occupied, it is usually burned down without giving the opponent a chance to regain it for free.

But...

Guan Yu squinted his eyes and looked at the materials and equipment in the camp, "No, wait, don't set the fire yet, let people call some horses and horses from behind to transport all the things that can be transported away!"

In the past few years, I have followed Liu Bei all over the world. Although he is now called a general, in fact most of the time he clings to the little supplies he has on hand and makes calculations. Now he saw the conquest of the Western Wei Dynasty Yan Yingzhai. How could you be willing to burn all these items and equipment inside?

If it weren't for the time and effort required to dismantle these walls, Guan Yu would have wanted to remove all the wood and nails and take them away.

Some soldiers found some food, grass, and dried meat in the camp. They came to report to Guan Yu happily. Guan Yu also smiled, arranged for some soldiers to cook, and then took turns to eat some. Did he win the battle? Celebrating the enemy's supplies of food and fodder can be regarded as a small reward for these soldiers under his command, and it can also win over the military morale of these Sichuan and Shu soldiers who have been newly added to their ranks.

Just as the aroma of dried meat and wild vegetable porridge gradually filled the air above the camp, the messenger came back out of breath and reported Zhang Fei's situation to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu frowned, feeling a little bad in his heart. After thinking for a moment, he stood up and said, "Come here, send the order! Assemble the troops and follow the instructions of the three generals!"

…………………………

The wind in the mountains seemed to be getting stronger, blowing the surrounding treetops and shrubs. There were faint and urgent bird calls, as if some birds were disturbed by Zhang Fei and his group.

Zhang Fei looked at the gradually blurred figure in the smoke and dust rising in front, then turned to look at the mountains on both sides. He suddenly felt uneasy for some reason, and his pace gradually slowed down. From the leading position at the front, It landed somewhere further back.

"All troops, stop..."

Zhang Fei raised his long spear, and just as he was about to give the order, he heard the roar of the mountain mist!

No!

This is not the sound of wind in the mountains, but the scream of arrows and crossbows!

In the mountain road, a series of jumping sounds suddenly sounded!

On the mountains on both sides, I don't know when, a large number of soldiers suddenly appeared, either kneeling or standing, holding bows, or holding crossbows. Without saying a word, they fired arrows at Zhang Fei's soldiers who were in the mountain road. The crossbow arrows splashed down like raindrops!

These "raindrops", with a shimmering cold light and a sharp whistling, accompanied by the mountain mist, fell from the sky and fell rapidly!

"Be careful! There is an ambush!" Zhang Fei waved his long spear like a windmill, knocking away more than a dozen arrows and crossbow bolts coming towards him, "Retreat quickly! Retreat quickly!"

For the convenience of movement, Huang Cheng's mountain camp soldiers did not carry a large number of heavy crossbows. Instead, they basically used bows and arrows or hand crossbows. Although they were not as powerful as heavy crossbows at close range, they were sharp when thrown down. The arrow was also a heavy blow that was difficult to withstand for Zhang Fei's unprepared soldiers.

Zhang Fei's soldiers suddenly howled and screamed again and again. The soldiers near the sides of the mountain were like vegetable leaves that had been ripped off, with one layer missing!

Huang Cheng took his own long bow, exposed half of his body from the bushes, attached the wolf fang arrow, and aimed at Zhang Fei...

Zhang Fei suddenly felt as if he was being stared at by some wild beast. Suddenly, he felt a chill all over his body and jumped back without saying a word!

An arrow whizzed over and struck Zhang Fei in front of Zhang Fei's eyes with a "pop" sound. If Zhang Fei hadn't changed his body just now, I'm afraid he would have been shot by now...

"Tsk..." Although Huang Cheng knew that the hit was missed and the opponent was wary, he still took the second arrow. It was like a lottery. How would he know if he could win if he didn't try?

Sure enough, most lottery tickets are not won.

Zhang Fei crouched and hid his body among the guards. Huang Cheng quickly lost the window for shooting. He could only regretfully throw the long bow to his own guards aside, then he raised his sword, whistled, and led The soldiers began to charge down the mountain.

Wei Yan, who had originally turned around the mountain road, also rushed back with his soldiers, and gathered together with Huang Cheng. While slashing and killing Zhang Fei's soldiers who were fleeing in embarrassment, he shouted loudly:

"What a man! Do you only know how to run when you get into the battle formation? Why don't you stop and fight San Lily with someone!"

"A black-faced bearded guy! He ran away pretty fast! His abilities are all in his legs!"
