Three Kingdoms

Riding is almost the skill that the armed herdsmen are most proud of, but now they feel pain on their faces.

Most herdsmen have been dealing with horses all their lives. Many herdsmen can even do somersaults on the horse without a saddle. As for hiding in the belly of the horse, picking flowers with flying hooves, standing on its head, etc., these herdsmen can do it. Complete, like Zhang Liao and others who can maneuver and turn at high speeds, many armed herdsmen can also do the same.

But if one person does it, the effect is completely different if it is done with thousands of people. When there are more people, it becomes more difficult to cooperate with each other.

When the Western Region Allied Forces attack the military stronghold, what is the maximum number of cooperations in one wave?

About five hundred people.

It's not impossible to increase it upwards, but you won't be able to control it finely. It's like the Western Region Allied Forces did well when they attacked, but when they really wanted to take action later, they were in a hurry and created obstacles for themselves.

Nowadays, the coordinated and unified riding skills displayed by the Han people have made almost all the Western Region coalition forces re-evaluate the weight of the Han army in their hearts.

If Lu Bu had demonstrated what power was and the aesthetics of violence in the Western Regions before, then what Zhang Liao brought to the table was the most vivid and incisive technique. Thousands of people are deflecting almost at the same time, shifting the center of gravity of the body, and helping the war horse to turn. In this process, no cavalry is allowed to make mistakes, because once it occurs, it will cause a chain reaction, which may cause more subsequent cavalry mistakes, and the horse will be turned upside down. , that’s not an exclamation, but a joke.

The Kucha people watched helplessly as the Han people bypassed them and headed towards the other Western Region coalition forces. Some Kucha people anxiously wanted to follow the Han people in turning, but as soon as they started to deflect, they collided with each other. In the end, they could only watch the Han people march away. The feeling of powerlessness rising involuntarily in their hearts made the morale that the Kucha people had finally built up suddenly feel as if a basin of ice water had been poured on them. The fanatical mood also dropped.

Originally, when they saw the Kucha people going to intercept the Han people, some troops from the Western Region Allied Forces began to gather. However, the array of these Western Region Allied Forces did not have enough time. When they found that the Kucha people could not stop the Han people's horseshoes, It's already too late.

Some people stayed where they were, while others set off before the assembly was complete, creating chaos.

Zhang Liao led the Han army's cavalry and crashed directly into the fragile defense lines of the Western Region coalition forces. For a moment, people were turned upside down, and blood and flesh were flying everywhere.

"They're coming!" coming! damn it! Stop dawdling! Even those who are not wearing armor should stand in line! Taksa jumped to her feet and almost shouted at the top of her lungs, "Get ready to fight!" If that guy dares to retreat, I will kill him! I will definitely kill him! I swear! 』

Although everyone knows that not wearing armor and not having a complete defense system will lead to a significant decrease in defense power, it is still better than no defense at all.

If Taksa had the time to turn his head and look at his direct soldiers at this time, he would find some self-proclaimed brave guys under a suit of iron armor, holding long spears that were shaking slightly...

The frequency is the same as Taxa's own calves.

The Han army's cavalry was still advancing crazily, and the Western Region Allied forces were like a huge piece of meat, cut open and bleeding with hemoglobin.

In the ranks of the Han army, Zhang Liao was in a relatively forward position, but not at the forefront.

This is different from Lu Bu's habits.

I don’t know whether it’s because Lu Bu prides himself on being unparalleled in martial arts, or because the Red Rabbit Horse also likes to be the king of horses in the front. Anyway, as long as Lu Bu goes into battle, Lu Bu must be at the front, and Lu Bu will also wear extremely cool battle clothes. Armor, carry the unique Fangtian painted halberd...

Zhang Liao, on the other hand, is wearing armor that looks no different from ordinary cavalry at first glance. Only when you get closer can you find some differences in details, such as being more refined and stronger. At the same time, Zhang Liao will not be on the front line, but will leave himself some room to react. Just like during the current attack, Zhang Liao will also encounter obstacles from some elite Western Region coalition forces.

Zhang Liao immediately discovered that more than ten cavalrymen were galloping in front of them. The pace of the people and horses was exactly the same. They were obviously the elite warriors of the Western Region Allied Forces. One of them had a cold light like fish scales dancing on his body.

Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes slightly.

It's not because of the cold light that dazzles the eyes, but because of the person's armor. Even if he is not a high-ranking military academy member of the Kushan Army, he should at least be a big leader of a country in the Western Regions.

Therefore, he should be killed.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides passed each other, and the sound of swords and guns clashing with each other was heard continuously. There were few people on the other side and they did not dare to charge forcefully. They only relied on their martial arts and armor to invade the Han ranks.

Zhang Liao slung his spear behind him and clamped his legs together. The horse felt pain, so it sped up and jumped forward, like a soldier eager to escape from the fighting area...

The fighting instinct is sometimes useful, but sometimes it can get people killed.

If Zhang Liao had done nothing, it is impossible to say that these people would not have paid attention to Zhang Liao when they passed by. But now Zhang Liao's actions were invisibly different from other Han soldiers, and they immediately attracted these people who came to rush. Their attention shifted from the other Han soldiers on the side to Zhang Liao.

Just like a hunting dog's instinct to chase fleeing prey.

The elite warriors of the Western Regions shouted something, whether it was a curse or a greeting, but they directly aimed a spear at Zhang Liao!

In the eyes of the elite warriors of the Western Regions, this Han cavalry who seemed to have lost his weapon was undoubtedly the weakest point in the entire queue. It was also the easiest vulnerability to break and could cause a chain reaction!

As long as Zhang Liao is killed, when Zhang Liao falls, it is possible that the Han cavalry behind him will be tripped, which will slow down the entire formation of the Han cavalry...

But just when the elite warriors of the Western Regions stabbed at Zhang Liao, using old tricks, Zhang Liao suddenly twisted his body. The moment he missed the tip of the opponent's spear, he burst out with amazing skill and strength, and the spear came from behind. It jumped up like a giant python and flew through the air. The sharp blade cut open the body of the elite warriors of the Western Region at high speed, making an extremely shrill sound. Wherever it touched, the skin and flesh were torn open and blood and flesh flew everywhere!

Zhang Liao continued to castrate his spear, pointing directly at the Western Region general wearing scale armor!

In the blood mist that filled the sky, the Western Region general obviously didn't expect that his guard would be instantly killed by Zhang Liao with one move, but he obviously didn't take it too seriously. After all, life and death are possible on the battlefield. He was looking for Zhang Liao, but the Han cavalry in front of him all looked the same, and there didn't seem to be much difference...

With such thoughts, the Western Region general subconsciously used a wrought iron rod to seal it directly.

But the next moment, the expected "clang" sound did not appear. Immediately, the Western Region general's heart tightened suddenly, and then his eyes went straight, and a large amount of blood spurted out from his neck, and he fell upside down. After dismounting, one leg was still hanging on the horse's back, and he was dragged along the ground by the horse.

『￥#@@! 』

The few remaining elite warriors from the Western Regions shouted something loudly, seemingly calling the names of the dead Western Region generals.

Zhang Liao glanced briefly, then shook his spear, disappeared into the queue again, and continued to rush forward towards the defense line of Taksa's central formation banner.

Because the general from the Western Regions who came to intercept Zhang Liao without even thinking of his name was suddenly killed, the other soldiers from the Western Regions who followed also lost their command and stopped in panic, shouting something that Zhang Liao could not understand. The words seemed to be asking each other something, and their expressions were frightened and uneasy...

It's a pity that his troops are still short.

Zhang Liao sighed slightly.

If there were twice as many men and horses, Zhang Liao would not hesitate to divide them into two groups, cutting from two directions like scissors, cutting off the flesh and blood of the Western Region Allied Forces piece by piece!

However, this matter is also helpless.

Taksa has Taksa's problems, and Zhang Liao also has Zhang Liao's difficulties.

Although Zhang Liao is not an expert at transferring internal conflicts to the outside, he still understands the relationship between soldiers and the fluctuations and changes in emotions very well.

The soldiers and horses in Xihai City originally suffered a setback and their morale dropped once when they returned. Then Zhang Liao and others came to have a conflict with Lu Bu. After that, Lu Bu left violently, which caused the unstable mood of the soldiers in Xihai City. , almost pushed to the edge of the cliff!

The safest way is, of course, to wait for backup from the General Hussars.

Although this will cause the soldiers in the military camp to become completely abandoned.

Although Menghua should have had this awareness when he went to the military camp...

But Zhang Liao didn't want this.

He felt that too many things had been abandoned in the Western Regions. If even the dignity and friendship of soldiers were abandoned, what would be left in the end?

The requirements of the soldiers at the bottom really are not many.

Ordinary people are afraid of injury and death, but these soldiers at the bottom devote their lives without reservation, just to get meritorious service, to get the meager hope of changing themselves and their next generation, even if most of them People can die.

For this little bit of hope, these soldiers in the Western Regions received obviously unfair treatment. They were deprived of military pay, money and food, and were even made difficult and beaten in various ways. They were ridden on the head by those fat-bellied officials. , I still endured it.

Because these people still feel there is hope.

There is hope, so we can endure.

Zhang Liao couldn't bear to let this hope be shattered...

So he would rather take more risks himself and take the soldiers of Xihai City around.

Even if it's possible to die.

Every time you go to war, anyone can die.

Either die from the opponent's sword or gun, or die from a nail, a plague, or a mosquito.

But after walking around in such a circle, most of the soldiers in Xihai City not only have old achievements from before, but also new achievements now!

The three men brought by Meng Hua, Han Guo and Zhang Liao together accounted for almost all the Han soldiers in Xihai City. Even if the old military merits of these ordinary soldiers are affected due to Lu Bu's fault, at least their merits after Zhang Liao's arrival will be guaranteed!

Zhang Liao made a promise to the ordinary soldiers of Xihai City, so he must fulfill it. Although he felt that the hussars should not be so heartless, he could not guarantee that the risk was even greater than going to the battlefield. It was higher.

Even if Fei Qian is soft-hearted, will there still be people shouting loudly in Sanfu, Chang'an, and other places, taking this opportunity to suppress military meritorious nobles like Lu Bu and Zhang Liao?

Who asked Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others to become officials without studying and being "certified and crowned" by them?

These civil servants were suppressed before, but now they find an opportunity to give them a good shot?

Although Hussar had promised that there would be no problems, allowing Zhang Liao to come to the Western Regions with peace of mind, at that time, didn't Zhang Liao also think that as long as he came to persuade Lu Bu, he would probably be able to persuade him?

Zhang Liao didn't dare to bet on others, he could only bet on himself.

At least, let these ordinary soldiers have some light in their eyes after experiencing the darkness of the Western Region...

At least, let these soldiers who followed orders and left their hometowns, risking their lives for the hussar and the great man, still have some hope in their hearts...

Instead of being tossed aside like used toilet seats, soiled rags, and worn-out brooms.

If it really becomes like this, then the next time the Western Region Allied Forces or the Allied Forces from somewhere come again, how many soldiers will bravely stand up, face the enemy's swords and guns, and use the blood in their chests to build the walls of the Han family? ?

Zhang Liao's eyes became sharper. Although Lu Bu could no longer stay in the Western Regions, even Zhang Liao himself knew that he could not stay either. However, as long as some of the heroic blood of the Han Dynasty was left in the Western Regions, some of them were left behind. The expectations of the soldiers leave some hope that their efforts will be rewarded, so that the big man can continue to live in this land and the flag will not fall!

The sound of horse hooves and the rolling yellow sand.

In the blink of an eye, the situation changed again.

The driven Shanshan people did not receive the order from Taksa's messenger, but they instinctively fled towards Taksa. Just like a child who is beaten will definitely go to an adult.

Of course, when Taksa saw the Shanshan people coming, his face turned green and said, "Get away!" These damn bastards! do not come! Don't let them come! 』

Taksa roared at the top of his lungs, but it had no effect. He immediately ordered his men to stop the Shanshan people from approaching.

"Archery!" Archery! 』

"Shoot out all your arrows!" 』

"stop! stop! 』

The chaotic and noisy orders came one after another, the chaotic arrows were scattered forward, and the roars of various accents obviously could not make the Western Region Allied Forces become monolithic immediately. These obstructions were like thorns on the road, although Occasionally it would hurt the skin and flesh, but it could not completely stop the defeat of the Shanshan people.

The people of Shanshan are also like Wusun. All the people are soldiers, which means that all the soldiers are people. The courage of soldiers is indeed magnificent when fighting with the wind, but when defeated, it is like mercury pouring down the ground. They didn't care about Taksa's shouts or the soldiers' instructions, and even risked the arrows fired from Taksa to miss, and bravely turned in!

Because most Shanshan people believe that as long as they run behind Taksa, Taksa will take care of everything...

As for Taksa and others shouting to get out of the way...

What's in the middle?

Empty, nothing?

There seemed to be only a few sign poles stuck on the ground, with red cloth strips tied to them, fluttering in the wind...

Before the people of Shanshan could figure out what was going on, the cavalry chasing at the front suddenly flipped over and fell to the ground. Both men and horses were bruised and bruised, with broken bones and tendons!

"trap! ” Shanshan people finally understood and howled, “Get out of the way! There is a trap in the middle! 』

However, it takes a certain amount of time to convey the warning. Even if some Shanshan people stopped or went around, the troops behind them did not know it and they still rushed towards them and crowded together. Not only did they not give way, but they even The Shanshan people thought that the front was safe, so they rushed forward even more excitedly!

The trap originally prepared for the Han people was now tasted by the Shanshan people.

Group after group of men and horses fell into the trap, tripping more Shanshan men and horses. The horses with broken leg bones were whining on the ground, and the cavalry with broken necks were lying limply and twisted into strange shapes. After inexplicably injuring hundreds of people, Shanshan people understood what the pole tied with a red cloth strip in the open space meant...

Zhang Liao came up with his men in pursuit. The Shanshan people who were forced to stop howled and cried, and exploded again in chaos!

The Shanshan people were blocked by a trap in front, and Zhang Liao stabbed the chrysanthemum behind them. It was so miserable...

Will the Shanshan people, who have been stabbed in the anus again, have the courage to turn around and fight?

Obviously not. These Shanshan people transferred all their resentment to Taksa. If Taksa hadn't dug some trap here, they would all have fled to a safe area by now!

It's all Taksa's fault!

Run for your life!

The Shanshan people began to divide their traffic automatically and escaped separately around the trap. They avoided the places with red strips of cloth on the ground, and then started to move around on both sides.

This strange phenomenon attracted Zhang Liao's attention...

This is the advantage of a general who is in the frontline command position, and it is also the manifestation of the ability of an excellent cavalry commander. Just like the decapitation tactic, almost everyone knows it, but there are only a few people who can play it well and play it well.

Zhang Liao is obviously one of them.

If you want to complete the decapitation tactic, you must first have the courage to charge upwards, and the second is to know when to retreat.

Historically, Zhang Babai had one hundred thousand grandsons, and he was stabbed twice. If Zhang Liao only knew how to rush forward and didn't know when to stop, then he might have died on the battlefield the first time.

Therefore, when Zhang Liao discovered that there was something obviously wrong with Taksa's array, he almost immediately issued an order to slow down his troops and observe...

Taksa shouted frantically, waving his arms, "Come here!" Watch how I kick your ass! 』

Although Zhang Liao didn't understand what Taksa was shouting, he seemed to understand what Taksa meant. He smiled slightly, then shook his spear...
