Chapter 199: The Battle of the Six Rivers (7)

Just now, Zhang Liao led his troops to fight, and he had taken away the last bit of elite cavalry, and now what is left, whether it is equipment, martial arts, or war horses, is inferior. Although the number of people is large, the combat effectiveness is not very high. However, Lu Bu thought that there were 2,000 people anyway, and it would be somewhat useful. Even if it's 2,000 pigs, it will take a whole day, right?

He glanced at his bandaged left shoulder hatefully, clenched his right fist, and said secretly: If he hadn't been injured, he would have competed with Chen Wenzheng again!

Under Lu Bu's unwilling gaze, Chen Cheng took the head of the cavalry battalion and collided with Wei Xu's department. Fang Tian's halberd was raised and slashed at the Han cavalry who were robbing the house. The evil wind blew in his face, and the face of the Han cavalry changed greatly, holding the spear in front of him with both hands, and pushing forward with all his might. With a "click" sound, the halberd severed the barrel of the gun, and the bright crescent moon disappeared before appearing behind him.

As soon as the war horse was divided, half of his body fell off the horse's back, rolled on the ground a few times, and then was trampled into meat sauce by the horse's hooves behind. Lu Bu, who was watching the battle from a distance, suddenly felt a sudden burst in his heart, his eyes suddenly became eager, and he muttered to himself: "What kind of weapon is this, it actually has such great power?" ”

A halberd cut off the enemy, Chen Cheng did not stop, Fang Tian drew a halberd or stab, or slash, or pick, or peck, or hook, it seems to be an understatement, but in fact it is as heavy as thunder. Looking at the envoy, it is not so fast that people can't react, but every move is 100% power output, and the trick is powerful. Even if you get a glimpse of the situation and try your best to block, it will be the end of a broken knife and a broken gun. There was only one cavalryman with a heavy shield who could save his life after a fight.

Chen Cheng killed more than ten people in a row, and he had already rushed to the front of Wei Xu. Wei Xu originally had the intention of competing with Chen Cheng, but after seeing the scene of his limbs flying just now, he was already frightened, where did he dare to do anything with Chen Cheng? He shouted, "Stop him!" ”

More than a dozen horsemen on the left and right stepped forward with spears, and the cold light flashed, and the iron armor on Chen Cheng's body broke a gap. Under Fang Tian's halberd, four more souls were added. The guards who followed behind Chen Cheng stepped forward and slaughtered all the remaining enemies who had already broken up the formation.

In this era, the more noble the person, the more gorgeous the dress. This is true in the court, in the people, and on the battlefield. Wei Xu's dress was known to be a general at a glance. Chen Cheng fought his way out of the crowd and chased straight after Wei Xu.

Wei Xu heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and when he looked back, a flame was getting closer and closer. He was so frightened that he cried out, "My life is over! ”

In his eagerness, Cao Xing rushed over on the side and said loudly: "Look at the arrow!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the bowstring vibrated in the air, and an arrow came straight towards Chen Cheng with a whistling sound. Chen Cheng saw the black dot flashing in front of him, and without thinking, his body had already moved spontaneously. The head twisted to the side, and the arrow slammed into the side of the helmet.

"When", the arrow is bounced off. Chen Cheng felt a tremor for a moment, and then said loudly: "Is it only you who can shoot arrows?" ”

He changed into the "Sunset Bow", took out the heavy arrow, then pulled the bowstring and shot an arrow towards Cao Xing. The arrow roared, compared to the arrow just now, the power increased several times? Cao Xing's arrow was useless, and he was about to shoot again, but he saw Chen Cheng pull the bowstring at a speed beyond his reach, and then the arrow was already in front of him. He was so frightened that he could not take the arrow, but he raised his eagle bow and drew it at the arrow.

The carved bow broke through the air and made a "whine" sound, but it fell into the air. The arrow grazed the edge of the carved bow and sank into Cao Xing's left chest. He was so shaken that he didn't even have time to scream before he fell off his horse. A moment later, a wail sounded, "General Cao Xing is dead in battle!" ”

Chen Cheng was not far away, and said in his heart when he heard it: Cao Xing? Could it be one of the eight strong generals under Lu Bu? No wonder the archery is quite superb. Hey, Xiahoudun should thank me!

Cao Xing died in battle, Wei continued to lose courage, and the morale of the Han army was greatly depressed, and they no longer dared to block the route of the Xiliang army's attack. Chen Cheng wielded his halberd to kill the enemy, and several arrows were inserted into himself and his mounts. The silver-gray Fang Tian Painting Halberd was a little dull, but after killing so many people, the blade seemed to become a little brighter.

Chen Cheng led his subordinates to rush left and right, chased and killed the enemy cavalry all the way, until he rushed to the vicinity of Lu Bu's general banner, and was fired by the Han army's crossbowmen in a volley, and then retreated. Eighty steps apart, Chen Cheng looked at Lu Bu again, this time, Lu Bu's nine-foot-tall body still gave people a feeling of "strong", but Chen Cheng felt that the other party's momentum was a lot weaker, and there was no longer the kind of arrogance and recklessness that he had before.

He smiled slightly, raised his chin at Lu Bu, and then walked away with the cavalry.

"Mixed ....... Bastard! Lu Bu had blue tendons on his forehead, and he roared, "What does this mean?" ”

The horse shook off its hooves and galloped north. Listening to the faint roar behind him, Chen Cheng was in a good mood, he reached out and pulled out the arrows embedded in the iron armor, and then pulled out the arrows on his mount as well.

If it was on the plains, Chen Cheng might still take the cavalry to continue to circle around, but although it was wide enough for cavalry to run, it was still not wide enough, and there was always a feeling of restraint when fighting, I believe not only he would feel like this, but generals like Han Sui and Lu Bu, who were good at using cavalry, should also have similar feelings.

Moreover, after fighting for so long, it is already sunset, and it is not interesting to continue fighting, so it is better to withdraw the troops and stop the battle for the time being, and leave it for the next day, if there is a coming day. With so many dead people today, if Ding Yuan and Huangfu Song continue to be as tough as they are today tomorrow, then Chen Cheng can only say his admiration first, and then roll up his sleeves and fight them to the end.

As soon as I crossed the midfield, I was greeted by a scuffling crowd and billowing smoke from the camp of Han Sui's army on the left.

Wait, the few simple camps occupied by Han Suijun burned and burned, why did his own camp also catch fire?

There were 100 people who were placed on the long slope plateau, which happened to be a tun and the strength of two teams. They condescended and kept shooting the enemy troops in front of the battalion with their big yellow crossbows. With each salvo, the power is staggering. It's just that the rhubarb crossbow is very troublesome to string, and it is also very troublesome to shoot, so after each shot, you have to wait a long time before you can shoot a second round.

It's not that there are warriors who can shoot with a big yellow crossbow, but they are all strong men in the army. Huangfu Songjun is the elite of the world, and what can do this is only a palm. Therefore, when the soldiers on the long slope use the big yellow crossbow, they are placed on the piled up of earth, so as to ensure that when shooting, they will not shoot the crossbow bolts that have been finally loaded into the sky because of trembling.

The six-stone crossbow in the army can be shot once, and the good bow can be shot three times. And the big yellow crossbow is fired once, which is enough for the six-stone strong crossbow to shoot three times in a row. Rao was like this, and the crossbow bolts that came from the side from time to time still terrified the Han army. When many crossbowmen were aiming at the enemy on the camp wall, or when the infantry was gathering and preparing to charge, a volley of ten large yellow crossbows on the side would directly halve the morale of hundreds of soldiers and horses.

If it weren't for the fact that it was too far away and the hit rate was touching, I was afraid that the side-firing fire on the side alone would collapse hundreds or thousands of people.

Later, the generals in command of the front could no longer bear this kind of injury, and he gave a strict order to his generals, "Give you a curved force, and give you thirty crossbows, and you must immediately capture the side of the plateau!" If you can't take it, you will die under that high platform! ”

The subordinate general who got the strict order didn't say a word, clasped his fists and saluted, and rushed over with his men and horses. He observed that although the long slope was steep, it was not impossible to climb. It's just a height of more than ten zhang, and you can still climb it with light equipment.

Hundreds of carts from the Central Military Division were pushed up, and when the linen cloth covering them was lifted, the huge bed crossbow inside was revealed. These bed crossbows are more terrifying weapons than the big yellow crossbows, with an effective range of one hundred and fifty paces, and they were originally intended to be used to deal with the heavy armored cavalry of the Xiliang Army that rushed into battle, but Chen Cheng saw those big carts and beat the drum in his heart and refused to step forward. Huangfu Song ordered these carts to be dragged to the front.

The power of the bed crossbow was unquestionable, and with just one volley, it turned an enemy tower in Chen Cheng's army camp into powder. The thick bolt pierced the baffle, shattering the heavy plank. The thick, long bolts of crossbow bolts crossed the air, strung together the crossbowmen in the enemy tower, flew into the air with them, and then fell behind the camp.

Seeing this scene, the defenders couldn't help but be shocked, and the Han army cheered together. In the camp, Li Kan looked at the crossbow arrows whistling in the air overhead, and was silent, but the generals on the side couldn't help but say: "General, the matter is urgent, please order a signal immediately!" ”

Li Kan shook his head and said, "It's not time to use them yet. ”

Yang Qiubu was ranked third to the last to retreat, because the Han army was killed, and now he couldn't go. His infantry was added to the camp, and the cavalry stood by in the open space behind the long slope, ready to attack the right flank of the Han army from the left.

Although the situation is critical, it is not yet the time when it can no longer be sustained. Outside the camp, the Han army still had several fully formed infantry phalanxes, so Li Kan was reluctant to give Yang Qiu's cavalry a signal.

Seeing that Li Kan refused to give an order, the general hurriedly said: "Everyone has seen the power of the strong crossbows of the officers and soldiers, and now if you don't let the cavalry come out, are you waiting to be shot to death by the officers and soldiers?" ”

Li Lan shouted: "What are you afraid of? Although the bed crossbow is powerful, the reloading is a first-class trouble, order the people in front to pile up the corpses at the gate! Officers and soldiers can fill the ravines with corpses, can't we use them to block the door? ”

The crossbow arrows were in the air, and a group of soldiers and horses on the long slope saw this scene, and their scalps were numb from shock. The bed crossbows placed on the carts were so horrible that the middle of them were killed instantly. I couldn't even scream. Now they saw dozens of big cars parked under the long slope plateau, and they were even more terrified.

It won't be long before those horrible bed crossbows are fired at them!
