Chapter 181: Death

When the saddle and stirrup techniques passed through Liangzhou, Lu Bu didn't pay much attention to these gadgets at first. Thinking of him Lu Bu, he was born in Jiuyuan County and has been riding horses since he was a child. As he grew up, his martial arts became more and more sophisticated, and he didn't need anything else to shoot a bow and arrows on the back of a bare horse.

However, he also admitted that these things were useful, at least the Hun cavalry and the wolves under his command sat more firmly on horseback. The horseshoe can also effectively protect the hooves of the war horse, reducing the wear and tear of non-combat. From these points, Lu Bu still admits that Chen Cheng has some ability, and he still admires Chen Cheng a little, but it is only so much.

In addition to this little admiration, Lu Bu was even more unconvinced. In terms of archery and martial arts, who in the world can compare with him? The name of "Flying General" should be his Lu Bu Lu Fengxian!

He craves power, he craves fame, which is why he rushes to the forefront in every battle. From Hanyang to Hedong, thousands of miles long, it has established a great reputation in the army. But this is not enough, far from it! No matter how much credit he makes, others will only say: Ah, Lu Bu, I know that martial arts are almost catching up with the "flying general" or "Shenwei Tian general".

Lu Bu is just a master in the army, but Chen Cheng is already the Liangzhou Mu of the world, and the difference in status between the two sides is enough to make all the efforts become meaningless.

After receiving Duan Xuan's message that Chen Cheng had killed Chen Cangcheng, Lu Bu was the most excited person. He felt that this must be an opportunity given to him by God, as long as he could kill that hateful guy in the battle array, from now on, the name of "Flying General" would be his Lu Bu's!

With this belief, Lu Bu led the most elite cavalry under his command and galloped all the way towards Chen Cang. When the city wall in the distance was already in view, he found a Xiliang cavalry that was running into him.

Lu Bu's eyes were sharp, and he saw the man in the middle of the enemy horse at a glance.

Oh, everything is as it is legendary. A man named Chen Cheng, fearless of swords and arrows, with eyes as hard as rock and steel, rode a majestic warhorse that seemed to be a burning flame, bringing death and destruction to his enemies.

The cavalry on the opposite side formed a tight charging formation, which made Lu Bu aware of the danger at the first time. Although he had not studied Clausewitz's "On War", nor did he know the deeds of modern cavalry beating rangers in the Napoleonic Wars, but relying on his career on horseback for more than ten years and his keen intuition, Lu Bu still felt that the situation was unfavorable to his side.

Such a neat and tight formation shows that the training and morale of the opposite side far exceed that of ordinary cavalry. In the face of such an elite enemy, even Lu Fengxian had a time when he needed to retreat. This has been proven on the battlefield in Hedong.

However, this time, I will not back down!

Failure is annoying, but if you can shoot that ghostly enemy on the other side, it's worth it!

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and Lu Bu controlled the war horse to lean in the direction of Chen Cheng, and at the same time took off the iron tire bow on his body. He secretly said in his heart: It was the strong bow in his hand that made a great name on the battlefield. Today, it will make Lu Fengxian's prestige resounding all over the world!

Drawing arrows, opening bows, and the feel brought by thousands of shots made Lu Bu immediately lock on to the target.

Heh, are you still looking elsewhere? Seeing Chen Cheng's gaze in front of him, Lu Bu had a strange feeling in his heart, as if he was feeling sorry and excited. The horses are constantly undulating, like a boat on the blue waves. When the horse's back jumped to the next crest, Lu Bu's fingers loosened, and the arrows flew out, and then the sound of the bowstring vibrating was heard in his ears.

This arrow will definitely hit! The moment he let go of his fingers, Lu Bu had such an understanding in his heart!

As he had imagined, the arrow hit his target in the ribs. However, the man was shocked, and then turned his head to look at him as if nothing had happened. Lu Bu was stunned to see this impossible thing that really appeared in front of him, and then anger and murderous aura arose in his heart.

Can..... Damn!

If you shoot it, why don't you die? A certain family's divine shooting can also be shot through even if you wear iron armor, why don't you die Chen Cheng!

Angry flames filled his eyes, and a murderous aura of hot and cold coexisted around his body. Lu Bu and Chen Cheng on the opposite side looked at each other, and at this moment, it seemed like a long time. Immediately, the galloping horses and the struggling cavalry blocked the line of sight between them, separating the two men from two sections of the crowd.

Lu Bu rose up bravely, raised a gun in his hand, and stabbed down a flying bear hussar and dismounted. Although they only looked at each other for a moment, those eyes had already left an extremely deep impact on him. Funny, lonely, blazing...... Or is it something else? Even though they were separated by a distance of nearly a hundred steps, at the moment of looking at each other, Lu Bu seemed to see his own shadow in the eyes of the other party.

He roared, killed another enemy, and shouted, "Chen Cheng! ”

There was a constant sound of spears piercing flesh and breaking armor from the side, and there was no need to look at it, and Lu Bu knew that he was suffering a massacre under his command. Although the wolf cavalry in Bingzhou is the elite of the world, the Hun cavalry also has good combat effectiveness after changing their outfits, however, their weapons are still only the products of the old era, how can they compare to the specially designed cavalry spear?

Even if some cavalry can kill one or two enemies with personal bravery, most of the cavalry does not have the martial arts of Lu Bu, and they can only die of hatred in the face of a three-foot-long cavalry spear.

The military is the most open-minded and receptive group in the world, and the most stubborn in the world. Until the blood of the killed is shed, there is a high probability that the army will refuse everything new. But after enough blood has been shed, they will abandon the past as quickly as possible to welcome the arrival of a new era.

After this cavalry battle, as long as Lu Bu and the others did not die, they would definitely follow their enemies and carry out military reforms. Learn from the strong, this is the instinct of all soldiers, all human beings.

The cavalry hedged, and the victory was soon decided, and the flying bear hussars, with their tight formations and longer weapons, won an absolute victory. The two sides swapped positions and then began to regroup. As a standing army, the Flying Bear Hussars took the lead in completing the reorganization, and then launched another charge to the west under the leadership of Chen Cheng.

Tut! Lu Bu snorted coldly, and said in his heart: Chen Cheng is really cunning, he refuses to continue to charge eastward, but kills back!

Knowing that there was no hope of victory in the head-on attack, he gave a loud order for the cavalry to disperse and fight. When Hou Cheng, Song Xian and other generals shouted loudly to command the troops, Lu Bu took off the iron-tired bow again and shot at the charging flying bear hussars from the flanks. The direction in which the arrow flew was Chen Cheng, who was in the first row....... mounts.

Shoot the man before the horse!

Arrows whizzed out and landed on Gollum's horse armor. The arrow pierced through the horse's armor and penetrated into the muscles. The war horse suffered pain and ran faster. Lu Bu, who was on the side, saw this scene and couldn't help but grit his teeth. Is this true for people, but also for horses? If you take an arrow, you will fall down obediently!

Lu Bu's heart was nameless, and he was about to open his bow and shoot an arrow again, but he saw a black shadow flashing in front of him. He was vigilant in his heart, and hurriedly bowed forward. Immediately, Lu Bu only felt a shock on his head, and when he straightened up again, the purple gold crown had already been shot down, and his long hair was dancing wildly in the wind.

He looked up ahead, and the enemy horsemen had pierced through the thin barrier and were heading west.

On the side, Hou Cheng rushed over with a horse, and everyone: "General, are you okay?" ”

"How could something be wrong with me?" Lu Bu looked at the distant enemy hatefully, and said in a loud voice: "It's just because the wind is strong that it blew off the hair crown!" ”

Hou Cheng looked at Lu Bu's cloak and wanted to speak, but he was silent again.

Chen Cheng crossed Chen Cang with the Flying Bear Hussar and galloped west along the southern avenue. Passing through the place guarded by Yang Qiu's soldiers and horses, the flag on the mound shook a few times, as if to say something to them.

On the mound next to the road, Yang Qiu watched Chen Chengbu roar over, and then headed towards the west of Chen Cang. He looked at it for a while, turned his head, and scolded left and right: "What are you looking at? Don't you hurry up and put up all the blankets? It's up to us later! ”

"Yang Hu, Yang Hu, where did you die?"

Yang Hu came out of the crowd and said, "What does the general command?" ”

Yang Qiu scolded: "Naigong can't call you if he's fine?" Lead the horses to the back of the hill! Run a horse, watch your skin! ”

Chen Cheng returned to the starting position, and the surroundings were still in chaos. A large group of Qiang cavalry was gathering and spreading out towards the two flanks. Han Sui did not lead his troops into Chencang City, so he was able to quickly gather his troops and horses and put on a counterattack formation. But the other princes rushed into the city, and they did not know where they had gone.

Ding Yuan rushed over and shouted, "Lord, the engineer battalion has burned all the siege equipment, what should I do now?" ”

Chen Cheng ordered the tooth soldiers to erect his flag, and then said to Ding Yuan: "Return to the camp immediately and follow Li Kan's orders!" ”

Ding said "no" from afar, and then hurried away. As soon as he left, Zhao Si rushed over again and said loudly: "Lord, except for General Cheng Yi, all the Taishou are still in the city, and they will not be able to withdraw for a while!" ”

Chen Cheng said calmly: "Regardless of them, gather the surrounding soldiers and horses, whether it is ours or friendly troops, as long as it is a person, pull me here!" ”

"No!"

The sound of majestic drums and desolate trumpets sounded in the east, and the sound of the fighting in Chencang City, which had declined, became high-pitched again, and the flames also rose in the city, but I don't know who put it.

The Han light troops had already appeared on both sides of Chencang City, and they bypassed the city and swooped west along the edge of Longshan and Qinling. In addition, there is also a Han army that has entered the city and is fighting with the Xiliang army in Chencang City.

The Hun cavalry and the Qiang cavalry fought and retreated on the left flank, and on the edge of the Qinling Mountains on the right, Yang Qiubu had already begun to shoot at the Han army that was killing with great momentum. However, the Xiliang army has not yet been restored, and Chen Cheng, Han Sui and Cheng Yi tried their best to gather soldiers and horses, but they only got 20,000 soldiers and horses.

The terrain here in Chencang is narrow, which is conducive to infantry and not to cavalry. The Xiliang army is dominated by cavalry, and there are not many people here, 20,000 people is already a lot, but compared to the Han army, it occupies an absolute disadvantage. Not only is it at a disadvantage in terms of quantity, but it is also at a disadvantage in terms of equipment. The soldiers and horses of the Han army from the west, in addition to the light soldiers of the forward, the infantry and cavalry that appeared one after another were all armored, and this alone was far superior to the Western Liang army.

But these were not enough to make Chen Cheng afraid, the infantry of the official army occupied an absolute advantage, but the cavalry of the Xiliang army was stronger. Even in this place, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the cavalry is still stronger than the infantry. The only thing that worried him was that an enemy army was rushing out of Longshan, thirty miles away, towards the rear of the Xiliang army.

The terrain here is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are only a few roads in and out, if Chen Cheng did not "detect" the strategy of outflanking the Han army, when he fought with the official army here, he was cut off by the Han army who flanked him....... Tsk, that's almost a copy of the Battle of Changping.
