Chapter 42 Time also, life also.
Zhang Fei's reaction was very timely, and the Taihang Black Cavalry he led rushed to the battlefield before Wen Chou and them came into contact with the foot crossbow formation, stopping Wen Chou's team.
However, those new versions of the siege vehicles were naturally stopped by Wen Chou and them.
Wen Chou looked at the man in front of him vigilantly, Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, a man whose strength may not be below Zhao Yun.
He could feel the fierce and murderous momentum of this man with a spear in his hand, and that kind of momentum was honed by the battlefield.
Rival, dangerous.
Wen Chou only had these two words in his mind, the pores on his skin contracted, and the cold hairs stood up.
When facing Zhang Fei's gaze, he seemed to be looking at the ancient beast head-on.
I can't win him.
It is very strange that when Wen Chou faced Zhao Yun, he didn't feel this way at all, but when he faced Zhang Fei, he inspired this idea at a glance.
But even if Wen Chou's intuition told him that he couldn't fight the man in front of him, the reality was that he had to face Zhang Fei, and it was impossible to go out of the city to attack and run away.
In that case, morale will fall to the lowest point, and there will be no way to compete with the Taihang Black Rider anymore.
However, Wen Chou still remembers his first priority.
"Bow and shoot!"
Igniting the rocket in his hand, Wen Chou shouted, and the cavalry behind him followed him and aimed at the scientific and technological troops in Liu Bei's army to shoot.
Hey.
Seeing their posture, Zhang Fei became angry.
I've already rushed to you with the team, you're still thinking about the artifacts behind me, and you're attacking them in front of me, aren't you looking down on me?
Just for this point, he wants to cut Wen Chou here and under the horse.
With Chen Chen's cautious personality that he is afraid of death, it is inevitable that he will not let these scientific and technological troops have no protective measures.
He has long thought of all kinds of ways to deal with each other, which is called simulating the other party and empathy.
Even if Wen Chou went out of the city, he expected it. What he sighed was just that if Wen Chou went out of the city, then there would be no way for his side to take Tai'an City without losing a single soldier.
Well, this guy's idea at the beginning was to use the embodiment of these whimsical ideas he developed to take down Tai'an City.
What was his thinking?
In fact, after Chen Chen knew that Yuan's soldiers had been strengthened like never before, he was not very willing to let his own soldiers go head-to-head with Yuan's soldiers.
Because in Chen Chen's view, the power of a large-scale elite army is far greater than the actual consumption of combat confrontation in a strategic sense.
Sometimes an army of 200,000 men in one place can contain many of the enemy's ideas without any action.
However, if this army fights directly with the enemy until there are less than 100,000 left, it is very likely that other forces will take advantage of the situation and expose their flaws.
So he came up with the idea of using utensils against people.
And these artifacts have been developed for some time, although they have been experimenting and constantly improving, but this kind of progress is definitely not as good as putting them on the battlefield and trying to make a real effect.
It's just that, sure enough, Yuan Shao is not a fool.
Chen Chen had arranged in advance to use some iron shields to resist the rocket.
Now even if it really came in handy, I saw that the two soldiers in the crossbow array who were used as brackets took off two small shields from behind them and blocked the key fatal parts.
The rain of fire landed in the array, but even if dozens of crossbows were ignited, the fire was quickly extinguished without much damage.
Before the battle, Wen Chou originally wanted to release a rocket, and then fight back to the city with Zhang Fei.
But he didn't expect that the heavy cavalry of the Taihang Black Cavalry would charge into battle at a faster speed than the light cavalry, perhaps because of the straight-line impact, the inertia of the heavy cavalry was greater.
They had just finished the first round of arrows, and before they had time to observe the results and retreat, Zhang Fei and they were already approaching.
In desperation, Wen Chou could only order the soldiers to prepare their weapons and have a real cavalry battle with the Taihang Black Cavalry.
Yuan Shao stood on the city wall and looked at the situation under the city wall, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
He clearly saw that Wen Chou's round of throwing just now did not cause much damage and loss to Liu Bei's foot crossbow array, and even because Liu Beijun trusted Zhang Fei and Taihang Black Cavalry in their strength, the foot crossbow formation did not retreat, but continued to maintain the suppression of Yuan Jun at the head of Tai'an City.
This may be the first time in this era that a war scene in which technology crushes manpower, and everything is incomprehensible.
And Wen Chou had no way to evacuate back in time, but met Zhang Fei face to face.
Yuan Shao didn't distrust Wen Chou, nor did he distrust his cavalry.
He believed that they could fight Zhang Fei and his Taihang Black Cavalry, but even if they could tie with Zhang Fei.
How could they, who were entangled outside the city, deal with the encirclement and attack of Liu Bei's army?
With Yuan Shao's military ability, it was not difficult for him to see that from the moment Wen Chou and Zhang Fei were fighting, the army that went out of the city declared that it was in a desperate situation.
But from the strategic point of view of the situation, their army must be in a desperate situation.
Otherwise, not only would they have no effect, but Tai'an City would also be easily taken under Chen Chen's indiscriminate bombardment.
Time also, life also.
Yuan Shao suddenly remembered this sentence in his heart for some reason, this thought was out of control, and he suddenly began to recall his experience in this life.
He may not have believed much in the number of numbers before, but now he does.
Because the sense of urgency from the world that was forced step by step, step by step, to the current situation, really made him feel powerless.
Of course, he didn't know that this was the general trend that Chen Chen had laid out for a long time.
He only felt that this kind of serial accidents, various possibilities, and usually felt that it was just some small negligence mistakes, which were connected together, which led to his own defeat today.
That's right, when Yuan Shao saw that Liu Bei's army first pushed out a new technology that he had never seen before, he knew that he was about to lose.
It's really that the gap between him and Liu Bei is too far.
Although Yuan Jun has an epic level of strength improvement, this kind of external force increase through natural skills is not as solid as the strength of others who are determined to forge ahead and take the initiative to improve.
Not to mention that in other respects, others are ahead of the times for a whole time.
If I have Chen Chen, why am I here?
Yuan Shao's heart recalled this sentence again.
It's a pity that it's too late, it's still the same sentence, time is also, life is also.
The cavalry of the Yuan army led by Wen Chou fought with Zhang Fei's Taihang black cavalry.
The archers of the Yuan army at the head of Tai'an City had no way to give Wen Chou support, because they had been suppressed by Liu Bei's foot crossbow array and could not rise on the city wall.
And the foot crossbow array did not help Zhang Fei, because the thickness of this crossbow arrow was too large, and it was easy to accidentally injure his teammates.
Instead of helping indiscriminately, it is better to maintain the suppression of the walls of Tai'an City, so that Zhang Fei can give it a go.
Besides, who can not believe Zhang Yide?
However, I have to say that the enhanced Yuan army is really remarkable, and it can be compared to the Taihang Black Cavalry galloping in the north.
The battle between the two sides can only be said to be evenly matched, and specifically speaking, only the Taihang Black Horse has a slight advantage.
This weak advantage can be overturned at any time, so it is not worth rejoicing.
And on the contrary, Liu Bei frowned after observing the situation on the battlefield.
Because he found that the increase in Yuan Jun's strength was even more terrifying than he had imagined, fortunately Mr. used these strange tricks that others thought were strange and clever to force Yuan Jun out of the city.
Otherwise, if you carelessly go forward and attack the city directly, there is a possibility that there will be casualties and there is no way to predict it.
When the two armies are fighting, the most important point is the contest between the main generals of the two sides.
Wen Chou and Zhang Fei have already handed over.
The current Wen Chou is not much stronger than the original Wen Chou, so at the beginning, he did not fall behind, and fought back and forth with Zhang Fei.
But Wen Chou didn't think it was a wonderful thing.
Because he discovered a terrible truth.
That is, he didn't fall behind at the beginning, because he used his best as soon as he got on the field, but his physical strength could not support him to fight Zhang Feilu in this state for too long.
But Zhang Fei is completely different.
When he first got into the fight, he didn't seem to be moving his body yet.
After the prolongation of the battle time, Zhang Fei obviously showed a state beyond ordinary people, and his combat state was getting higher and higher.
Wen Chou could feel the increasing pressure from Zhang Fei, and he might not be able to resist it when he was in a state of his whole body, not to mention that his state had begun to decline.
We can't fight any longer.
Wen Chou stabbed Zhang Fei in the neck with a gun, and Zhang Fei shook his head lightly and dodged the shot.
But before the spear in his hand could be poked out, Wen Chou had already turned the horse's head and fled.
"Heh, Wen Zhongqian is nothing more than that."
Zhang Fei obviously didn't fight happily, it can be said that his interest had just been raised, and Wen Chou ran away.
Originally, Wen Chou was a little uncomfortable just now when he attacked against his crossbow formation, and now Wen Chou still wants to run away, how is it possible?
clamped the horse's belly, and Zhang Fei also rode his horse to chase after him.
There is no way he can let Wen Chou escape so easily.
Wen Chou naturally knew that Zhang Fei would definitely chase after him, and the movement behind him was extremely great, so he reflexively pushed away Zhang Fei's beatings a few times.
He had a feeling in his heart that Zhang Wei was not chasing him now, but playing with him.
But what could he do?
At the same time, because the cavalry led by Wen Chou was entangled with the Taihang Black Cavalry, the new version of the siege vehicle and artillery carriage had a chance.
With the help of the crossbow formation, they approached the city wall of Tai'an City, and before Liu Bei's army set off under the city wall, the defense line of Yuan's army was already in danger.
It didn't last long.
Because under the suppression of Liu Bei's army's firepower, Yuan's army's strength had no way to be brought into normal play at all.
And when Liu Bei's army was in a hurry and crossing the river, he wasted so much time, in fact, he slowed down for the movement of these utensils.
It was also the fact that after Xu Shu and Xu Huang's soldiers were divided into two formations, Xu Shu couldn't wait for reinforcements to happen.
In fact, no matter where the decisive battle between the two armies is, no matter whether the Yuan army has a base on the city and defends these artifacts, the damage to the Yuan army will be great.
Or to put it another way, this newborn artifact is extremely lethal to any army in this world.
Looking at the defeat outside the city and the tragic situation on the city wall, Yuan Shao still opened his eyes.
He only knew he had no chance of winning, but he didn't want to be trapped in the city.
From a distance, he saw Zhang Fei who was chasing Wen Chou.
"Collectively go out of the city and rescue General Zhong Qian."
Yuan Shao gave an order, he planned to abandon the city and defend it, there was no need for Tai'an City, he would directly take himself back to all the teams to go out of the city to fight.
At this time, Wen Chou's body had already had a few more wounds.
He was already a little unable to resist Zhang Fei's ferocious offensive, and in his opinion, Zhang Fei was a madman in terms of combat.
But Wen Chou also knew that he had no way to return to the city, and once he returned to the city, he would lead Zhang Fei to Tai'an City, which might lead to the destruction of Tai'an City at that time.
Therefore, although Wen Chou was defeated, he was only going around in circles with Zhang Fei in front of Tai'an City, but according to the current situation, he can go around in circles, and it is estimated that it will not last long.
"Kill!"
Suddenly, with the shouts of several shaking mountains, the gate of Tai'an City opened again, and countless Yuan soldiers and soldiers rushed out of Tai'an City.
They caught up with Zhang Fei's momentum and suppressed the Taihang Black Cavalry of the Yuan Army's cavalry, even if it was as strong as the Taihang Black Cavalry. Backed by the sudden surge of troops, there is no way to break through.
Yuan Shao's move put Liu Beijun in a difficult situation.
If you use scientific and technological artifacts to support the Taihang Black Cavalry, you may even be able to hit your own people, and now if you don't let the army come forward, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the Taihang Black Cavalry to get out of the entanglement of the Yuan Army.
"Abandoning the city and defending it, Yuan Benchu is really courageous."
Liu Bei's frowning brows stretched slightly.
"If he dares to go out of the city, then we will dare to go up."
With the sound of a horn, Liu Bei's army began to move towards Tai'an City.
And those technological products were put aside for the time being, and the next battle was real hand-to-hand combat.
The sound of the fight shook the sky.
Both sides have a strong will to fight, and the strengthened Yuan Jun can also be compared with Liu Jun.
But in terms of scale, Yuan Shao still lost a lot.
And after leaving the city, he is not suitable to return to Tai'an City, because the control of the city gate at this time is extremely easy to change hands.
The battlefield is constantly moving, and Yuan Shao also consciously expands the battle scene.
I don't know how long the two sides fought, but they didn't seem to feel tired, no one cried out that they were tired, and no one fell down from exhaustion.
The persistence and ferocity of the battle is already rare in this world.
After nearly two hours, Yuan Jun's position was far away from Tai'an City and closer to Mount Tai.
Yuan Shao wanted to retreat to Mount Tai with his team and defend the danger.
