Three Kingdoms

Go back in time a little bit.

The burning fire in the left camp of General Fei Qian of Zhengxi illuminated almost half of the sky. Even Zhang Liao and others who were ten miles away could see clearly.

"Everyone is here! Load saddles! Check weapons and equipment!"

Zhang Liao stood up with a shout and took the lead in arranging his horse. First, he laid a mat on the war horse, then put the high bridge saddle on it and fixed it, tightened the belt buckle, and then stretched out his hand to tug twice. After checking that it was indeed firm, he hugged the big head of the war horse, holding his head with his eyes. He whispered something into his eyes, and then adjusted his weapons. Without the help of the guards on the side, he stood up and sat on the horse. With one move, he lifted the big gun standing beside him, and then turned the horse. He turned his head and looked quietly at the rest of the Zhengxi Cavalry behind him.

Most of these cavalry were those who followed Zhang Liao all the way from Shaanjin to Yinshan, and then to Shangdang Taiyuan. It can be said that although they were officially under the command of Zheng Xi, they were generally led by Zhang Liao, who could be regarded as half of Zhang Liao's Private soldiers...

Why only half?

Because it costs money...

If ordinary cavalry can match five to ten infantry, then the equipment of the cavalry under Zheng Xi is at least as valuable as the equipment of fifteen to twenty infantry.

From sleeved armor that is different from that of infantry, to cavalry-specific bows and arrows, to cavalry shields, to exquisite spears, and even horse spears, all these equipment, plus the food and grass for war horses with a greater appetite than humans Consumption will make a prince without much economic foundation go crazy to the point where he will either collapse himself or the cavalry.

With high investment and good land for raising horses, outstanding cavalry generals such as Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and Tai Shi Ci have room to display their talents...

"Attack with someone!"

Before the roar ended, Zhang Liao had already swung his spear, turned his horse's head, and headed towards the battlefield where the flames were rising!

Zhang Chen followed Zhang Liao closely, his little heart beating wildly. Suddenly, he felt like he followed Zhang Liao and rushed into the military camp of Shaanjin...

For a distance of about ten miles, if the infantry were to run at full speed, they would probably be so tired that they would stick out their tongues like old dogs. However, for war horses that are born to like galloping, especially these Xiliang war horses in Longyou, this is just right. Just to warm up, in the blink of an eye, you can already see the fire in the distance, and the figures shining and swaying in the fire.

Zhang Liao quickly found the flag representing General Zhengxi, and immediately saw the direction flag specially marked for him on the central general platform. It was rising and leaping under the light of the torch, as if it was about to soar into the sky at the next moment. Same as above.

"Come with me!"

Zhang Liao adjusted his direction slightly and flew towards the direction pointed out by General Zheng Xi on the stage, followed closely by Zhang Chen and others behind him. In order to enhance the surprise, Zhang Liao and others had thrown away all the torches when they approached the battlefield. The only thing guiding them was a small white flag that everyone placed behind them. This small white flag does not represent surrender, but is so that the comrades following behind can still judge the distance and speed while running at high speed, so as not to fall behind.

The first thing they came into contact with was a group of defensive sentries arranged by Liu Bei in the outermost circle. When these Liu Bei sentries wandering outside saw Zhang Liao and others running out of the night, before they could even react, they fired a wave of arrows and screamed, killing and wounding most of them, and the rest were just He could watch Zhang Liao and others whizzing by without even being able to resist the slightest obstruction.

Saw!

The banner of the Chinese army belongs to Liu Bei!

"Come here!"

Zhang Liao shouted loudly, and immediately stood up on his horse in stirrups. He picked up the bow in his hand like lightning, and grabbed four arrows in one hand. There was a continuous buzzing sound. The string of the hard bow in his hand continued to move between the full moon and the half bend. In a sudden change, the four feathered arrows were shot out in an instant, and they seemed to be shot out in succession!

Liu Bei's rear formation had just reacted. Four of the sergeants who were directing the soldiers to turn around were killed in an instant. The soldiers beside them were so frightened that they even lost their torches. They were still reorganizing and regrouping. Liu Bei's formation immediately slowed down and became shapeless.

Zhang Liao shouted loudly, switched the weapon to a spear, and shook the spear habitually. The bloody red tassel suddenly bloomed, shaking out red flowers, covering Zhang Liao's body. The high-speed rotating red tassel not only plays an eye-catching role, although it is not very effective in the night, it can also deflect the sporadic arrows shot from the opposite side, and even the head, face, chest and abdomen of the war horse under him can also be used. Cover it to ensure the safety of the people and horses when charging into the formation.

Unfortunately, Liu Bei's soldiers who were right in front of Zhang Liao saw Zhang Liao and others rushing towards him like lightning. They howled wildly, closed their eyes and stretched out their spears in the direction of Zhang Liao, as if they could block Zhang Liao's attack. The impact of the Zhengxi Cavalry was the same, but they didn't know that such an action had no effect at all...

Zhang Liao had already exerted force on his legs to ensure that he was stable on the saddle. At the same time, when he was about to crash into Liu Bei's array, the head of the big gun seemed to come alive, shaking slightly from left to right, like a strange python. , almost at the same time, slapped on the heads of the two Liu Bei soldiers blocking the front!

The heads of the two unlucky Liu Bei soldiers were blown apart like ripe fruits being hit by a slate. Their bodies were also thrown to both sides, and their brains were mixed with blood and splashed everywhere!

Immediately, with a loud crash, the cavalry led by Zhang Liao crashed into the rear formation of Liu Bei's infantry. At this moment, accompanied by the muffled sound of bone and flesh breaking that made your teeth sore, countless figures were swept away at high speed. The incoming war horses were knocked away, how many bodies were trampled to the ground, and how many bloody limbs were thrown away!

Zhang Chen followed closely beside Zhang Liao, holding the blade of the sword outward with one hand and pressing it firmly against the side of the saddle. The height was just above and below the neck of an ordinary soldier, and then he just concentrated on using the steel-skin cavalry in his other hand. Use the shield to block the indiscriminate stabbing and slashing swords and spears, and then let the horse speed up with the saber to harvest those Liu Bei soldiers who were unlucky enough to pass by.

Zhang Chen's riding skills can't be said to be bad, but they can't be said to be very good. Therefore, as Zhang Liao's distant relative, Zhang Liao has to give some advice. This move is tailor-made for Zhang Chen. He only needs to stay on Zhang Liao's flank. You don’t need to be distracted by chopping, and you don’t need too high skills. It can also ensure a certain degree of safety. It is simply a must-have choice for killing people and setting fires when traveling at home...

Of course, like Zhang Chen, there are still a small number of Zhengxi cavalry with relatively low riding skills. The vast majority of Zhengxi cavalry are quite powerful, even better than ordinary Hu people on horseback. Be more comfortable.

Among Zhang Liao's cavalry who were rushing into the formation at high speed, these Zhengxi cavalry could even stand up halfway on their horses and fire with their bows, increasing the area of ​​damage and attack range. Some even used it to consume their physical strength. Although the rapid shooting of his arms was not as abnormal as Zhang Liao's, the speed of emptying the quiver in a dozen breaths also caused heavy damage to the surrounding Liu Bei soldiers.

Regardless of whether it was Liu Bei or Guan Yu, at the beginning of the battle, all attention was focused on General Zhengxi's camp. Although some defensive troops on the flanks and rear flanks were arranged based on years of experience in marching operations, these The troops were far from adequate both in terms of combat effectiveness and quantity. After being suddenly attacked by Zhang Liao's cavalry, they could not even hold on for a cup of tea before they were completely broken through by Zhang Liao and others!

Zhang Liao suddenly felt that his eyes were empty, and then he looked up and couldn't help but take a breath...

The entire battle situation was so tragic!

Zhengxi Zuoying has become a huge torch on the battlefield. The blazing fire almost covers the entire battlefield. Even if there is no need to raise the fire, it can still be seen to some extent.

Before the Central Camp of the Expedition to the West, Liu Bei's soldiers were all in the crowd, like a swarm of ants seeing honey. Almost all of them were blocked near the gate of the camp, and even some of Liu Bei's troops had obviously entered. In the Chinese army camp during the expedition to the west!

Although he was extremely anxious, Zhang Liao still shouted in a deep voice: "General Zhengxi has an order! Attack the enemy directly in the middle of the formation! Ignore the rest! Liu Bei and Liu Xuande must be captured!"

"Team up! Team up!"

Zhang Chen shouted, and then adjusted his formation again, following Zhang Liao, like a rushing tide, pointing directly at Liu Bei's central army!

At this time, Guan Yu had already rushed into the Zhengxi camp and was in a stalemate with the Zhengxi soldiers...

Guan Ping was eagerly crossing the trench of the Zhengxi Central Camp, preparing to break a hole in the wall of the camp. However, he discovered that the Zhengxi Central Camp was different from the left and right camps, which were basically made of wood. It turned out to be a hybrid structure. , not only did it have wood as the frame, but also stone and soil filling it, and there were even some unknown things, so Guan Ping's men couldn't find any suitable breakthrough for a while...

At this time, Liu Bei also gave up attacking the Zhengxi Right Camp on the mountain on the right. He only left Zhou Cang to half-attack and half-block, and focused his main attention and soldiers on the Zhongjun camp of Zhengxi General Fei Qian. Before……

Therefore, when the soldiers Liu Bei left behind were overwhelmed by Zhang Liao, Liu Bei's soldiers outside the camp no longer had any troops to slow down Zhang Liao and other cavalry!

Zhang Liao did not waste this precious opportunity at all, leaving behind Zhou Cang's troops who were running frantically from the foot of the mountain on the right wing to intercept them. Amidst the flying horseshoes, they were divided into two teams, each team was formed unknowingly. It has become a front-arrow charging formation, and Zhang Liao is the sharpest blade in this front-arrow formation!

Three hundred steps!

Liu Bei waved his double swords and loudly ordered the soldiers in the rear to turn around and prepare to meet the enemy!

Zhou Cang led his soldiers and frantically rushed to Zhang Liao's flank to stop him. Behind Zhou Cang, the gate of Zhengxi Right Camp, which had been unable to be conquered for a long time, opened on its own initiative. The Zhengxi infantry lined up and bit Zhou Cang. Buttocks, rush down from a high position!

Two hundred steps!

Zhang Liao shouted, and almost all the cavalry in the front row threw the short spears in their hands, then immediately raised their spears and swords, and accelerated their horses again!

Liu Bei's rear line, the soldiers who had completed the turn and the soldiers who had not yet completely turned collided with each other, and they gathered together in the shape of this lump or that, like wet dough falling into the boiling water. Think about it again. It is already extremely difficult to separate and organize them into shapes!

One hundred steps!

Zhang Liao and others, like a sharp sword, almost at the same time, once again stimulated the potential of the war horse, increased the speed by another three points, and moved toward Liu Bei's rear and toward the hedgehogs, without any fuss. Liu Bei's soldiers, who had no room for resistance, rushed in to kill him!

The sound of horse hooves roared like thunder, and the spear battle flashed with a biting cold light under the firelight. Zhang Liao's cavalry troops came with an overwhelming momentum. Although the number was not very large, at this moment, there were thousands of them. The momentum made these Liu Bei soldiers, who had rarely experienced fighting cavalry, look pale in the chaotic array. Some were even more horrified, knowing that they were in a desperate situation at this moment, and they could only howl like dying beasts. !

Zhang Liao rushed forward with his gun, his gaze like a sharp blade fixed on Liu Bei behind the infantry on the opposite side, and he roared like a thunderbolt in the night sky: "Liu Bei and Liu Xuande! Stay alive!"

Before the roar ended, Zhang Liao had already rushed through the distance of less than a hundred steps, and ran straight into Liu Bei's panic-stricken infantry line. Under the flying spears, a Liu Bei military marquis who was commanding the soldiers Although he tried his best to block and parry, he still watched Zhang Liao's spear as if it were an illusion, passing through the sword and shield that he tried to block, and directly sank into his chest and abdomen!

The standard Zha armor was like tofu, and the extremely sharp spear tip penetrated the armor. Liu Bei Junhou was provoked by Zhang Liao, and was thrown high in the air with all his hands and feet, and directly hit him behind. Among Liu Bei's infantry, three or four people were hit immediately.

With such a huge counterattack force, an ordinary soldier would probably have to throw away his gun. However, Zhang Liao's spear is extremely delicate and has super toughness. In addition, Zhang Liao's own martial arts is also first-class. His hands can be tightened and tightened easily under the yin and yang. The stable power of Takahashi's saddle removed most of the impact, and he charged forward without stopping!

Marquis Liu Bei is no match for Zhang Liao, and the rest of the ordinary soldiers are even less able to resist him!

The Xiliang war horses, which are taller, larger and heavier than ordinary war horses, are like physical tanks on the battlefield. Together, the man and horse weigh close to two tons, rumbling towards each other at a speed of close to fifty or sixty miles. Liu Bei's central banner crushed him!

Many of Liu Bei's infantry were unable to dodge and could only let out half a scream before being knocked away with a bang, trampled by countless horse hooves, and immediately turned into a puddle of flesh!

Life and death are just a short distance away!

Seeing this situation, even though Liu Bei had always been a dignified man, he couldn't help but suddenly change his expression!
