Chapter 186: The Battle of Chencang (5) 3/3
Chapter 186: The Battle of Chencang (5)
Lu Bu turned his head and saw a flame rapidly growing in his sight. He was shocked in his heart, and when he fixed his eyes, where was the flame? It's just a Xiliang thief general riding a fiery red war horse...... Looking at the coldness, fierceness, curiosity, and a trace of excitement revealed in Chen Cheng's eyes, he felt that the atmosphere around him seemed to be burning, his body seemed to be in flames, and his blood seemed to be boiling.
When Chen Cheng's body grew to eight feet 23, he weighed more than 120 kilograms, and he changed from a beautiful boy with a thin waist and wide shoulders to a heroic man with a big waist and a round waist. At this time, as long as he stands there, even if he doesn't say anything or do anything, it will make people feel a vicious aura coming to his face, and probably only his eyes can be called kind.
But on the battlefield, how can there be kind eyes? After Chen Cheng shot several enemy cavalry on the periphery, he found the traces of the enemy general, and immediately brought his own soldiers to kill the general. As long as you kill the enemy general, the morale of the surrounding enemy cavalry will naturally drop. He has only one goal, and that is now famous-
Lu Bu among the people!
In addition to collecting local news in Liangzhou, Wang Yue also mainly paid attention to the news of Guanzhong, Bingzhou, and Luoyang. Lu Bu was brave and invincible on the battlefields of Hanyang and Hedong, how could he not be noticed by Chen Cheng? He even knew exactly what Lu Bu liked to dress.
After a quick glance before, from a distance of nearly a hundred steps, Chen Cheng had already recognized and felt Lu Bu's strength. The pain under the left rib is also a silent reminder of this. So the question is, who will be stronger now, himself or Lu Bu?
Lu Bu trembled as if he was being watched by a fierce beast. He jerked his horse's head and shouted, "Follow me!" ”
The cavalry on the side followed and turned, followed behind Lu Bu, and launched a charge against the enemy. In a hurry, the cavalry behind Lu Bu was only three or four hundred horses, which was already several times that of the Xiliang army that was rushing over. But obviously there are more troops, but Lu Bu still feels that he is on the inferior side.
Chen Cheng took the lead, and the guards behind him naturally formed a cone-shaped battle formation, and he himself was the sharpest cone. The horses galloped on the ground, the wind whistled in their ears, and the scene in front of them rushed towards them, and they were quickly left behind.
This speed alone can be a great stimulus to the senses. And the moment of life and death will only magnify this stimulation several times, dozens of times. Chen Cheng waved the riding spear casually, and his hand shook, and with a crisp and pleasant sound, the tip of the spear had already cut through the flesh wrapped in steel. With conscious exercise, he has been able to react correctly without thinking.
Blood splattered into the air, making the battlefield even hotter. In my breath, there seems to be hot steel dust.
Within a few breaths, Chen Cheng had already rushed to within thirty steps of Lu Bu. At this distance, he could clearly see every tiny expression on Lu Bu's face. The rifle in his hand fell naturally and was aimed at the enemy's throat.
Lu Bu beat his horse and struggled forward, his eyes firmly fixed on the thieves who were rushing towards him. Chen Cheng is famous, how could he not recognize it? If he Lu Bu is now a powerful Guanzhong, most of Bingzhou, and a small part of Liangzhou, then Chen Cheng is already a hero who shook the world.
At the first moment he saw Chen Cheng, Lu Bu knew that this was the famous Xiliang bandit leader. He saw how Chen Cheng had almost torn a merger wolf rider in half, to put it mildly. The combination of furious power and casual movement creates an intoxicating charm.
Such an enemy should be sought by me, Lu Bu!
The sound of hooves thundered, and the two horses staggered by. Lu Bu rose bravely, took off the halberd with his left hand, and turned his body to the left. The halberd slammed into the stabbing spear, and his right arm stretched forward, stabbing the spear in the opposite direction. The halberd slammed on the riding spear, and Lu Bu's left hand shook suddenly, and the halberd was suddenly shaken away. The spear stabbed into his left shoulder armor, and the sturdy iron armor was struck with great force, deformed in an instant, and then shattered suddenly.
Before the pain came, the spear in Lu Bu's hand had already stabbed on the shield on the opposite side first.
Chen Cheng's left hand and right hand shook at the same time, and the shield that was already riddled with holes was pierced and then cracked. The cavalry spear held in his right hand was slightly deflected by the halberd. It was such a slight deflection that made the cavalry spear not kill the opponent, but stabbed it on Lu Bu's left shoulder armor.
The two horses were separated, and their backs were galloping, and the distance was quickly widened. Chen Cheng felt a little regretful in his heart, if it wasn't for the pursuit of killing with one blow, if the place where the gun was aimed was not the throat, but a larger body, I was afraid that Lu Bu would have been picked off the horse by now!
Riding battles are so dangerous, victory or defeat is only a matter of moments.
It's a pity that Chen Cheng sighed in his heart again, but then he had a strange feeling. Although Lu Bu was not killed, although there was no distinction between life and death, but in that round, the winner and the loser had already been decided!
He drew a shield again, and then wielded his spear at will, knocking out the enemy rider in front of him. In the midst of the screams, an enemy horse dressed as a Hun fell off his horse and was immediately trampled into pulp. Chen Cheng had killed through the enemy formation, and when he looked back, Lu Fengxian, who was still majestic a moment ago, was already lying on horseback, covering his left shoulder and running eastward.
While slowing down his horse, he looked at Lu Bu's distant back, and said in a relaxed and happy tone: "It's not bad, but after all, it's just a mortal!" ”
In the battle just now, the shield on his left hand shattered, and flying wood chips covered his upper body. Most of them hit the iron armor and were bounced off, and a few pieces were shot at his cheeks, but only a trace of blood was scratched, and then they were all bounced off the same page.
I'm invincible!
With such an understanding, Chen Cheng laughed out loud. However, in addition to satisfaction, he only felt emptiness and amazement. What Lu Bu showed was the unparalleled martial arts in the world, and he himself was a shameful cheater. Manpower is sometimes exhausted, some things are destined by nature, and some ceilings exist at birth, if it weren't for cheating, no matter how hard you train your martial arts, you won't be able to reach your current height.
The battlefield was changing rapidly, and before he could feel more, a new enemy appeared in front of him. Chen Cheng put away those thoughts of moaning without illness, changed his bow and arrows, and walked around the side of the Black Armor Army with his own soldiers. Arrows flew from his fingertips, shooting enemies who dared to come closer.
It was as if it was a repeat of what had just happened, but the situation was reversed. Previously, Lu Bu shot Zhang Heng's black armor army and almost collapsed, but now Chen Cheng shot the surrounding Han cavalry in fear. The best way to deal with such a marksman is to summon a large group of cavalry and rush forward with their shields raised.
No matter how powerful the shooter is, he will be bombarded into slag after being close. But if they make such a move, Chen Cheng will immediately retreat to the side of the Black Armor Army, and let the infantry's strong bows and crossbows and javelins teach them how to behave.
Zhang Heng watched in amazement as the situation flipped again, although he had gone back and forth from peak to trough several times today, he was still shocked. He had long heard of Chen Cheng's unparalleled martial arts, but he had always had doubts about it in his heart. Yes, Chen Cheng is very majestic, and he looks like a brave warrior, but so what?
He Zhang Heng is also a fierce general of the three armies, often leading his troops to charge ahead, experienced more than a dozen battles, and killed not a hundred but eighty enemies with his own hands. He knew very well what the situation was like on the battlefield, Chen Yuanjun killed hundreds of people and shot hundreds of people at every turn, how could this be possible? People are tired, even if it is on a woman, it can't last so long.
However, now, right in front of him, Chen Cheng performed a unique archery technique in the world, shooting fast and accurately, almost every time the bowstring vibrate, not far away, an enemy rider was either shot off the horse, or thrown off the horse.
Not only did Zhang Heng fall into deep self-doubt, but everyone who saw this scene was shocked. Fang Cai Lu Bu's archery skills were already amazing, and now the situation was amazed and magnified tenfold. Only those guards who followed behind Chen Cheng would have some pride in their calmness. They had seen even more exaggerated things, compared to the bloody battle in Linrong City, it was only a small thing now.
When the Han cavalry was defeated and retreated, their morale had already been hit, and now it had dropped again. They did not dare to come any closer, but hung at a distance, or simply withdrew to the edge of the infantry battle formation that had caught up.
Chen Cheng galloped left and right with his own soldiers and drove away the Han cavalry. The Black Armor was no longer disturbed by enemy cavalry and accelerated their retreat. Just when Zhang Heng was glad that he had finally escaped, smoke and dust rose on the flat ground in the west, and the Han light cavalry that had pursued and killed the rout of the Xiliang army withdrew in twos and threes.
Behind the Han cavalry, Liang Xing's flying bear hussars formed three rows of tight battle formations and were marching unhurriedly towards the east. On either side of the Flying Bear Hussars were Qianghu rangers from Shuofang County and Wuyuan County, covering their flanks.
The Western Liang Army and the Han Army have been fighting for too long today, and both sides have shed enough blood. Most of the soldiers were exhausted, and the sky was getting dark, and the generals were reluctant to fight any longer. So, in a wordless tacit understanding, the two sides disengaged and stopped fighting.
Chencang City, an important stronghold on the Han army's side, was breached once, and it will no longer be an impregnable city. In this regard, it seems that the Xiliang army has the upper hand. However, the Xiliang army took the initiative to retreat and ceded control of the battlefield to the Han army, losing a lot of soldiers and horses in the city, not to mention most of the wounded, and the loss of troops was much greater.
Chen Cheng took his own soldiers to break off the rear to prevent the Han army from taking the opportunity to cover up and kill, although this possibility is not very likely. By the time he returned to the camp on the edge of the long slope with his troops, it was already completely dark. Fortunately, the moonlight is bright tonight, and with the moonlight, you can still see the ground clearly.
As soon as he returned to the camp, Chen Cheng immediately sent people to summon Han Sui and other princes. Now the princes have safely withdrawn, but the Han army in the north can't make Chen Cheng feel comfortable. If the road to Longxian and Shangqi is cut off by that strange soldier, then they are afraid that they will go hungry.
