Chapter 1257: Zhang Ren was defeated, and Cao Hong invited him to fight
The soldiers of the Cao army couldn't help but panic when they saw Lei Tong and Liu Yu entering the front one after the other, they deeply understood that as long as they allowed the other party to enter the military formation, it would repeat the tragedy of blood-stained yellow sand. [.. com
Zhang Ren's eyelids were beating hard, the corners of his mouth were twitching, his heart was spasming for a while, he couldn't make up his mind, countless pairs of eyes on both sides were staring at him, and his eyes could speak, which was undoubtedly praying, mourning, and asking - hurry up and release the arrow!
Lei Tong's painful and extremely tired face seemed to gradually expand, his mouth was open, his breath was like a cow, his eyes were full of tendons and red silks, and the composition of the whole form represented a deep decadence and despair, and he staggered to this side, his throat kept suffocating roaring......
Zhang Renmeng gritted his teeth, abandoned his deep friendship with Lei Tong, and waved his arm down: "Release the arrow!" His two words were still rolling on his tongue, and a strong bowstring sounded "poof", and thousands of sharp arrows flashed with crystal blue, whistling away!
Liu Yu's lips pursed into a graceful half-solitary, leaning on the heavenly sword "exhaled" with a wave of surging light, layer by layer, heavy, invisible surging air currents in the light at the same time has howled echoing and surging, flying arrows like fireflies hitting a giant waterfall, silently disappearing, or scattered and swaying, this scene is wonderful and rare. It seemed to be a flower cannon shot in the air like a lotus cannon, but it was swallowed up by endless darkness, and there was nothing left! Liu Yu didn't want to use the "King Kong Body Protection Divine Skill", because that would be too demoralizing to the opponent. He still wants to play a little more!
In these chaotic rain of arrows, Lei Tong hadn't even thought of lying down, and he had already been shot with twenty or thirty arrows on his body. He screamed and rolled to the ground. Turning over in horror and wailing: "Zhang ...... Allow...... You...... You...... It's so ruthless! …… You...... I have no conscience......"
Zhang Renzhi stood there in a daze, he watched his friend cry dying under the arrow wound, and his heart felt like a knife, but at this moment, what could he do?
With a wild laugh, Liu Yu had already swept in with a splash of glowing light in a silver glow. Before the archers in the front row could retreat, the Heavenly Sword was already briskly entering and exiting their necks, in the midst of a terrible hiss. In the splash of blood in the sky, more than 50 Cao Jun sergeants have been planted like a wind sweeping away leaves!
Zhang Ren shouted, swept straight up with the red gun in his hand, and yelled in horror: "Liu Yu." General Ben fights with you! ”
Liu Yu suddenly soared into the air. Avoiding Zhang Ren's gunfire, he launched a fierce offensive against ordinary enemy troops. With the swing of the Heavenly Sword, seventeen enemy soldiers fell out in a spin. Liu Yu's heels swirled suddenly, leaning on the heavenly sword and dancing up and down, rolling like the waves of the Yangtze River. In the midst of this tumbling, a scream of ghosts crying wolves came one after another, and it came continuously. Sabres, bows and arrows flew all over the sky, and blood and human heads danced in the air. In an instant, there were more than ninety newly added corpses lying underground!
A big turnover. Liu Yu turned around to meet Zhang Ren, and the Heavenly Sword shook up thousands of white Lian like light bands and swept away, and in the light of his face, he had forced Zhang Ren to block left and right, and retreated in embarrassment! In the roar of the two figures, they rushed from both sides, and an iron whip and a long-handled knife whistled in the air and slashed at Liu Yu's upper and lower plates.
Snorted, Liu Yu's Yitian Sword slashed straight, and his left palm also slashed away, and the attacker seemed to know that it was powerful, "Hey", and quickly retreated. The body soared into the air, Liu Yu spun sharply in the air, the Heavenly Sword spilled thousands of crystal points, and the sharp scream sounded like a ghost crying at night, the two sneak attackers had not had time to retreat again, they had already swayed and fell down as if they were suddenly drunk, and their bodies were covered with blood after the Heavenly Sword entered and exited!
Liu Yu's left palm slashed out seventeen palms like lightning towards Zhang Ren, who pounced on him again, and in the midst of the overturn, the Yitian Sword had already inserted and pulled out into the chest of an enemy general who was hiding behind him. The tip of the sword shook against the scorching sun, and it stabbed to death two sergeants with sabers in their hands. Under the sharp contraction of the flat elbow, the Heavenly Sword slashed a three-ring machete with a sharp roar, and the sword body brushed up, and the owner of the machete had lost half of his face!
Yitian Sword did not have the slightest condensation, and rushed to attack Zhang Ren with a scream, in a silver light covered like an ocean, Zhang Ren has always been good at the "Hundred Birds Towards the Phoenix Spear" has not been able to use it at all, and under the seven moves, his second red gun has been shaken off his hand! An enemy general with a big beard desperately rushed to the rescue, his muscular arms pushed violently, and in the whirling dance of the strong wind, his legs swept across Liu Yu!
Liu Yu turned sideways like lightning, leaning on the heavenly sword to fly into the enemy's eyes, and in the vast silver light, Liu Yu's left palm cut down obliquely, slashing the legs kicked by the beard! "Click" A piercing sound of breaking bones came, the bearded man roared, and fell down heavily, Liu Yu said in a low voice: "Bearded, let's go!" The word "good" came out, and the Heavenly Sword had been inserted into the bearded forehead.
Zhang Ren's face turned black purple, and he rolled away in the ground again and again. His hands were all shattered, and in the blood, his eyes were horrified to find that everyone who had already fled in this instant! Frightened, he hurriedly jumped to his feet, and before he could look back, a great pain had caused him to almost fall again, and he lowered his head, a sharp sword tip was peeking out of his chest, and on it, a thick drop of blood was slowly dripping......
Zhang Ren's face was as white as paper, he turned his head stiffly, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Liu Yu ......"
Liu Yu's eyes were clear, but they were so cold and cold without a touch of warmth, and said coldly: "Something? ”
Zhang Ren rolled his eyelids and said in a low voice: "Liu Yu......... Liu...... I can't...... Can't you live? ”
Pursing his lips, Liu Yu said coldly: "Naturally." ”
Zhang Ren's throat grunted for a while, and his voice was like a gossamer: "Liu Yu...... Master ...... Yes...... Help me...... The ...... of revenge"
Liu Yu snorted and said, "This king is waiting!" ”
The whole body spasmed suddenly, Zhang Ren's thin body fell limply to the dust, and the Heavenly Sword slipped out of his vest, stained with thick blood!
Liu Yu's gaze wandered over the ugly hilly land, and there were horribly shaped corpses everywhere. It's all a little blood, the blades and bows are thrown to the ground, and even the corpses of the horses are so miserable and weird. There is no mercy. didn't feel any nostalgia, Liu Yu said directly to Liu Yu, who was standing quietly behind him and was extremely respectful: "Let's go back and check carefully, how did the news of my coming here leak......"
"Yes, Lord ......"
#############################################################
After returning to the camp, Liu Yu did not immediately launch an investigation. Because he suddenly thought that Zhang Ren and these people were all the leaders of the Cao Army who had entered Jingzhou at present. As soon as they died, wouldn't the Cao army's military camp in Zigui be leaderless...... This, it seems to be an exaggeration to say "dragons". But it is a fact that Cao Jun will have no one to command.
Soldiers are fast. Under Liu Yu's order, Xu Chu and Yan Yan went to gather the guards and Jingzhou army respectively, and in less than half an hour, more than 20,000 cavalry troops were already in order in front of Liu Yu. All of them looked solemn and excited. A man's heroic spirit of fighting on the battlefield filled everyone's chests like a raging current.
Liu Yu glanced at everyone, and said quietly and sharply: "Not long ago, Zhang Ren and Lei Tong, the generals of the Cao Army, have all been killed by this king, and now this king is going to take you to beat the water dogs!" There is no formation or strategy, what you want is that ruthlessness! However, the king does not want you to make unnecessary sacrifices, and if you do everything according to your command, then the king assures you. Not only can the Cao army camp be captured, but the casualties will not exceed 3,000 people. Or even less! Because you are all good sons of this king, any casualty is like scraping off a piece of painful flesh on this king's body, and this king will not allow you to make any mistakes, you know? ”
With a deep response, the soldiers were all heart-wrenching, and even tears were in their eyes, for Liu Yu's liver and gallbladder feelings, they were willing to smear their livers and brains. Liu Yu looked at the whole army with a righteous and awe-inspiring gaze, and chuckled at the corner of his mouth: "I want the enemy to see how brave and good my sons are!" Let's go,-him-grandma-grandma go ......"
"-him-grandma-go!"
More than 20,000 people shouted swear words in unison, with an unspeakable evil spirit. Thousands of troops rushed out, shaking the heavens and the earth, and the mountains and rivers changed color. After the cavalry departed, the infantry also marched, not to fight, but to deal with the aftermath of the battle.
In order to maintain the physical strength of the war horse, Liu Yu did not give the order to sprint with all his strength, but marched in a trotting state. But even so, it only took more than two hours to reach the Cao army camp.
Suddenly, the earth-shattering thunder roared, and the soldiers guarding the camp shouted in panic and despair: "The enemy army is coming, thousands of troops and horses, quickly ring the bell, quickly set off fireworks...... The Cao army camp, which lacked decision-makers and commanders, was panicked for a while.
The guards who charged first were all dressed in one-piece fine armor, and their defensive strength was comparable to that of the knights of the Western Middle Ages, and even the horses were draped, so they were not afraid of the bows and arrows of ordinary soldiers.
Liu Yu took the lead, and dozens of sharp arrows were shot, but unfortunately they couldn't penetrate the defensive shield formed by his "King Kong Body Protection Divine Skill". Liu Yu roared, and people flew up like heavenly horses, rushing to the camp gate like a hungry tiger, and a fierce "Hundred Steps Divine Fist" blasted the sawdust at the camp gate, and the hole was more than three feet open.
More than 20,000 horsemen rushed in and killed vigorously. At this time, a bearded black man appeared in front of Liu Yu, he swung his axe and bounced over, and roared angrily: "Who is sneak attacking, dare to sign up?" "It's like an axe, and the skill is extremely domineering.
Liu Yu flashed his sharp axe, but did not report his name, and what responded to him was the Zhan Tian Halberd that turned into thousands of lights and shadows. Liu Yu doesn't look down on other people's nobodies, he just doesn't want to talk nonsense! At present, only Liu Yujun is confronting Cao Jun here, who else can sneak attack you besides Liu Yujun?
Hoofs and horses galloping, the knights of the Guards rushed to and fro like a soul messenger, spears pierced, and pierced sugar gourds, both accurate and fast, one spear and one person, ten spears and ten people, stabbed that ran away, turned around and returned, the ghost-like figure continued, only one face, nearly a thousand enemy soldiers have been stabbed down, plague-like one after another fell to the ground and died, seeing that other people have a chill on their backs, how dare they still love to fight, and flee one after another.
For a time, Liu Yujun had grasped the general trend. The Cao army was defeated like a mountain and could not form an army. Liu Yu saw that the matter of Zigui here was decided, so he ordered Yan Yan to clean up the mess and come again, while he rode his horse and chased after him, wanting to recapture the two counties of Gong'an, Jian, and Ping that Liu Yufang had occupied.
After Yan Yan received the order, he immediately adopted the tactic of diffusion and encirclement, so that the space for the movement of those stragglers of the Cao army was increased, so as to form a more lonely situation. Then keep shouting and breaking each one. The soldiers of the Cao army were at the head of the dragons, and when they saw that Liu Yufang's troops were very strong, their fighting spirit was completely lost. He threw down his weapons and surrendered one after another.
The remnants of the Cao army, who were desperately running to the rear, were defeated under the hasty escape, and they were all cold and trembling, and they didn't know what to do, so they could only let the horses gallop and rush to Jianping County. But when they crossed another canyon, they suddenly heard a roar from above. Giant trees, rolling stones, landslides, ground cracks, and strands were pressed down.
The scope is so wide and there are so many boulders that it has forced this group of frightened birds to turn into gut-breaking rats and scurry in all directions. Or people turn over on their backs, or the boulder presses on the top, and there is a miserable sound for a while, and several people with higher skills suddenly rise. Splitting stones. Break the fate of being smashed. In this way, he fled while dodging, and there were only more than a thousand horsemen left who could safely escape from this place, all of whom were already soulless and courageous.
I believe that as long as Liu Yu shouts "surrender and innocence" now, I am afraid that the enemy army of the top ten will disarm and defect. But in Liu Yu's mind, instead of recruiting these people who had done nothing, it was better to let them flee back in defeat, so as to lend the news of the defeat and fear to the Cao army soldiers who had not yet participated in the war.
Just as Liu Yu was unhurriedly following the more than 1,000 enemy troops, he suddenly heard the sound of hooves in front of him. I was slightly stunned in my heart, and then there was a report from Tanmalay: "Lord Wang." A large group of Cao troops galloped ahead, and the number was about 5,000! ”
This Biao man was Zhang Ren's cavalry that stayed behind and was used as a mobile unit. When the vanguard first began to fight, some cowards fled early, lying that Liu Yu's army was pressing the border and asking for support. The cavalry leader did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the whole army to be dispatched, and 100,000 people rushed to save people.
The remnants of the more than 1,000 troops suddenly saw their own brigade of men and horses arrive, and they were ecstatic, and the straight road was saved, and their spirits were greatly lifted in an instant. However, they did not dare to want to fight back, after all, there were only 5,000 horsemen. They were just selfishly hoping that the reinforcements would hold back their pursuers so that they would have time to escape. The remnants of the more than 1,000 troops also knew that they could not mess up their own positions, so they spontaneously scattered left and right, leaving a gap for the cavalry troops to charge without scruples.
Liu Yu snorted coldly, and the guards immediately put aside their spears and bows, and shot vigorously in turns, each with three arrows. Nearly fifteen thousand sharp arrows dealt a devastating blow to the light cavalry in leather armor. Before they had time to react, more than 3,000 people were killed and injured in the rain of arrows, and long arrows were stuck in the bodies of human beings and horses.
In the panic of the enemy, the guards re-picked up their heavy spears and rushed violently towards the remnants of the cavalry under the arrows. The heavy cavalry and the light cavalry clash hard, do you need to talk about the result?
The ferocious assault left no prisoners, and the bloody scene frightened the deserters who turned back to pay attention to the situation here, and hurriedly whipped their horses and urged them to run away.
With the "cooperation" of the remnants of the army, Liu Yujun fought two more battles non-stop, and after three hours, Liu Yujun had recovered all the lost ground. However, Liu Yu did not stop there, and greedily wanted to take advantage of Zhang Ren's death and no one was in charge to seize the gateway to Xichuan - Badong County in one fell swoop.
Although the training of the Guards was hard, they did not try to fight for five hours with heavy armor, and even if the warriors could hold on, the horses would never be able to stand it. Fortunately, Yan Yan's more than 10,000 light cavalry had already followed, and they had not experienced the next few battles, whether it was men or horses, they had the spare strength to fight again.
After the "consumption" of the original more than 1,000 remnants of the army in these few hours, it is already less than 300. Near the fourth watch, they fled to the city of Padang. I don't know if it's pity for these embarrassed colleagues, or if there is a "big man" hidden in the remnants of the army, the defenders of Padang actually opened the city gate in Liu Yu's arms. Seeing that the remnants of the army began to swarm into the city, Liu Yu immediately gave the order to attack.
Although the defenders could not see clearly because of the darkness, they knew that something was wrong just by listening to the sound of horses' hooves. Prepare to close the gates of the city right now. However, the remnants of the army who had not yet had time to enter the city refused to be "abandoned" and desperately refused to let the city gate close. Their fighting posture almost makes people think that they are Liu Yujun's internal response to the enemy's formation.
The entanglement at the city gate gave Liu Yujun great convenience, and more than 10,000 troops were able to drive straight in, annihilating all the 7,000 men and horses left behind by Zhang Ren. When the sky was bright and the chief bookkeeper of the army reported the casualty figures that Liu Yu was most concerned about, Liu Yu couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. Because the number of casualties in Liu Yujun's army is surprisingly small. However, more than 3,000 people were killed and more than 7,000 were injured.
Although it is still a bit much, compared with the "achievement" of Cao Jun's death of more than 20,000 and prisoners of more than 20,000, Liu Yujun's losses are within an acceptable range.
After resting in Padang for half a month, Wu Yi and Wang Ti arrived quickly. Except for them. Liu Yu also summoned Tai Shici back from Huang Zhong's side, after all, there are no real generals around Liu Bei now, and Huang Zhong is alone!
After Liu Yu's troops drawn from all over the country were assembled. He immediately set out on an expedition and entered Sichuan to conquer Cao Cao. At this time, Liu Yu already had Xu Chu, Tai Shici, Yan Yan, Liu Bi, Wu Yi, Wu Lan, Wang Lei and other military generals, of course, the two beautiful shadows around him - Sun Shangxiang and Ma Wenying are also indispensable!
In addition, Liu Yu's army has reached 70,000, including 5,000 sailors. There were 20,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry, among which there were naturally 5,000 guards reorganized from the Beiwei army under the Zhou Palace. With this army of 70,000. Although he didn't dare to say that he would take the entire territory of Yizhou, it could make Cao Cao anxious. After all, Nanzhong has not yet been completely calm, and he personally led the northern expedition of the army, Liu Yu broke through the eastern defense line and entered Sichuan at this time. He's going to be annoyed......
###########################################################
All the way west. Wherever the army passed, it can be said that it was falling from the wind! The reason for this is, firstly, because of Liu Yu's murderous reputation, and secondly, because of the persuasion of Wang Lei, the old general in Shuzhong, and others. But after arriving in Ba County, it was not so easy, because the guards here were Cao Cao's sworn friends - Cao Hong! Moreover, according to the information sent by Liu Yu's intelligence agency, Cao Cao already knew that Liu Yu led the army to capture Badong and enter Xichuan. It's a pity that he is in a stalemate with Xu Huang in Liangzhou. didn't dare to leave lightly, so he had to send his henchman Xiahoudun to lead 50,000 horses to Bajun to assist in the defense.
The two armies confronted each other thirty miles outside the city of Ba County.
From the semi-circular formation of the enemy army. A sturdy and cold-looking figure came out of Xu Bu, and this person was the "Seven Killing Knife" Cao Hong! Cao Hong's eyes were like knives, he looked at Liu Yujun coldly, and said coldly: "Liu Yu, come out and answer." ”
His unceremonious tone made the two beauties beside Liu Yu snort at the same time, Liu Yu smiled and shook his head, stopped their coquettishness, and asked loudly: "Why did General Cao ask to see this king?" ”
Cao Hong stood alone in front of Cao Jun's formation, holding his world-famous "Seven Killing Knife" in his right hand, and staring at Liu Yu fiercely with those slender and sharp eyes: "Liu Yu, Zhang Ren died at your hands?" ”
Liu Yu was slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized, isn't Zhang Ren Cao Hong's son-in-law? With a quiet smile, Liu Yu asked, "Cao Hong, do you want to go out to avenge your son-in-law?" ”
Cao Hong nodded expressionlessly and said, "Not bad." I'm going to use your head to comfort my daughter, Liu Yu, go on! ”
Pursing his lips, Liu Yu said calmly: "It's up to you?" It's a little bit short......"
With a cold snort, Cao Hong raised his right hand, and the "Seven Killing Knife" pointed at Liu Yu, although he didn't speak, the meaning of inviting battle was extremely obvious. Generals such as Xu Chu and Tai Shici all wanted to fight on behalf of Liu Yu, but were stopped by Liu Yu. Since Cao Hong has named him, why can't he not go out and deal with it? What's more, his eighth character in the "Top Ten Swordsmen List" is really not in Liu Yu's eyes! Seeing that Cao Hong was alone with a sword and no mount, Liu Yu also slowly dismounted and walked to the middle of the two armies, two feet away from him.
Forcibly suppressing the hatred and anger in his heart, Cao Hong said coldly: "Very good, Liu Yu, you are still a kind of ......"
Liu Yu smiled calmly and said, "You are not qualified to say this sentence to this king!" Although one of the two of us will leave the world today, this king is absolutely confident that it will be you who will leave! ”
Staring at Liu Yu, Cao Hong said in a deep voice, "You are so arrogant......" The word "big" still has a trace of the last sound, Cao Hong's figure has come to the top of Liu Yu's head in a flash, and his "Seven Killing Knives" also burst out in a sharp roar!
Liu Yu did not move, the silver light suddenly appeared, the Heavenly Sword had been dazzling left and right, in a series of sharp metal impacts, Cao Hong's attack of the Seven Killing Knife had been deflected, not to mention, just in the sparks splashing, the scabbard of Liu Yu's left hand had been pointed at his heart like a meteor.
With a shout, Cao Hong jumped back into the air, avoiding Liu Yu's attack. And in this round of fighting, many people on both sides didn't even see when Liu Yu pulled out the Yitian Sword! However, although everyone didn't see when Liu Yu drew the sword, they saw that Cao Hong suffered a loss in this first takeover!
At the moment when Cao Hong jumped into the air and sealed the door, Liu Yu had suddenly swirled in suddenly, and under the shaking of his hand, it was the seventy-seven forty-nine swords! The shadow of the sword was like lightning, and the flash shot back through, and the cold light was vertical and horizontal, and the blade light danced, even the air was groaning, and even the sound of the song breaking through the air was trembling.
Cao Hong flew and flickered, the Seven Killing Knife waved like the wind, and the streams of light were swirling and circling one by one, one by one, one by one, trying their best to resist Liu Yu's fierce sword momentum that was as fast as a river waterfall. (To be continued.) )
