Chapter 565: Vine Armor Makes Contributions
10,000 Wei troops under the leadership of Zhang Hu rushed to Shicheng, but when they arrived at the city, they saw a group of more than 1,000 soldiers and horses already under the city, looking at the banner of Guan Zi fluttering on the city, Zhang Hu was startled.
You won't run into Guan Yu again in this place, right?
The shadow that Guan Yu brought to him last time has not yet dissipated, and the moment he saw the banner of Guan Zi, he felt a little cowardly in his heart, but in the Han army array under the city, he did not see Guan Yu's figure, which made Zhang Hu breathe a sigh of relief.
Guan Xing rode his horse to the front of the two armies, circled back and forth for a while, and after observing the battle of the Wei army, he said loudly: "The rebel thief dares to violate my border, why don't you retreat quickly!?" ”
I didn't see Guan Yu, the cowardice in Zhang Hu's heart also faded a lot, and after estimating the distance, he rode his horse to the front of the battle, and said proudly: "This Nanyang is my territory of the Great Wei, you don't know the destiny of heaven, and going against the sky is the way to die. ”
Guan Xing squinted and looked at Zhang Hu for a moment, and in Zhang Hu's puzzled gaze, he slowly raised the big knife and waved it forward: "Kill!" ”
Behind Guan Xing, a thousand vine armor soldiers rushed out.
Zhang Hu was amused, this Han army commander had his brain caught in the door, right? Such a small number of people dare to attack his vanguard army of 10,000 people? And this unscrupulous way of charging, I'm afraid it's not too long! With a sneer, he raised his hand and said, "Archer!" ”
Crunch~
Behind him, rows of archers quickly stretched out their bows and arrows, and the cold clusters of arrows pointed diagonally at the sky.
The distance between the two sides is not too far, and the opponent's formation is not a formation that specializes in blocking arrow clusters, seeing that after the opponent entered the firing range, the raised right arm raised high slashed down: "Put!" ”
"Hum~"
Thousands of bowstrings trembled at the same time, and arrows swept up from the ground, with a scream that tore through the air, a cold arc cut through the air, and with the breath of death, they fell towards the charging vine armor soldiers.
A famous vine armor soldier quickly bowed his head, and at the same time covered the rattan shield in his hand to his face, and continued to charge forward.
"Bang Bang Bang~"
In the continuous muffled sound, the disdainful smile on Zhang Hu's face gradually disappeared, and the arrows shot fell on the rattan armor or rattan shield, all of which were quickly bounced away, not to mention what losses were caused to those rattan armor troops, and even the rattan shield could not be stopped.
Zhang Hu somewhat understood why the other party dared to charge so arrogantly, this Han army dressed in strange rattan armor was not afraid of swords at all, how could this be fought?
Zhang Hu only felt that his scalp was numb for a while, and hurriedly shouted: "Shield array!" ”
Rows of shield soldiers sprang out quickly, forming a dense shield formation in front of the formation, while the archers continued to shoot clusters of arrows to block the opponent's approach.
The rattan shield and the wooden shield collided together, and the spear in the rear rushed out, piercing the enemy's rattan shield or rattan armor, but it could not pierce the enemy as before, and the rattan armor army in the rear quickly jumped up on the shoulders of the soldiers in front of him and threw himself into the crowd, and the swords fell together, but the scene of blood collapse did not appear, but after landing, the rattan armor army began to kill in all directions.
Is this the new armor forged by Liu Yi?
After the stalemate only lasted for a moment, the next thing was a one-sided slaughter, Zhang Hu's scalp was numb, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even if he mustered up all his strength to slash down, he often only could knock the opponent away, but it was difficult to break the opponent's rattan armor, the Wei army around had begun to flee in embarrassment, and in the face of such a sword and injurious enemy, the morale of the Wei army's vanguard army was almost like an avalanche of declines.
In the chaos of the army, Zhang Hu slashed down the direction of the helmet and armor of the rattan armor army, and cut off the head of a rattan armor army, it turns out that this rattan armor army is not invulnerable, and there are places that the rattan armor can't protect after all, but this has extremely high requirements for knife skills and strength, ordinary soldiers, how can they have the ability to cut the knife in the gap of the opponent's armor?
Even Zhang Hu can't be so precise with every knife.
The death of a soldier of the Tengjia Army could not make the other party fear at all, nor could it improve the morale of the other party, and the Wei army around it was defeated faster.
Guan Xing also rushed to the army at this time, he was not wearing rattan armor, but the armor on his body was built by Liu Yi himself, the defense was amazing, not much better than the rattan armor, and most importantly, there was no shortcoming such as fear of fire.
"Look at the knife!" Guan Xing galloped to the horse, for the ordinary soldiers of the Wei army, Guan Xing obviously did not have much interest, specifically aimed at Zhang Hu to come, before anyone arrived, the big knife in his hand had already slashed towards Zhang Hu with a cold wind.
Zhang Hu didn't have time to say more words to the other party, so he hurriedly raised his knife to greet him.
"Bang~"
There was a loud bang, and the long knife in his hand was almost unable to hold it, which was of course about Xing taking advantage of the horse's strength, but the cooperation of the sword and horse was difficult for ordinary people to compare.
At this moment, Zhang Hu can't care about evaluating these, Guan Xing's knife fell, the strength has not been exhausted, the big knife suddenly turned, followed by the second knife has been split, the force is lighter than the first knife, but after the next one also makes people's arms tremble, followed by the third knife is silent, Zhang Hu because of the second knife when he thought Guan Xing's strength was near, gave birth to a delusion, and there was a moment of negligence in the spirit, but it was this moment of negligence, but it was enough to kill.
These three knives are inherited from Guan Yu, but they are different from Guan Yu, Guan Yu's three knives, that is thunder and fast, a knife is fiercer than a knife, not to mention ordinary generals, Guan Yu's heyday, that is, those famous generals can completely take these three knives are not many, but these three knives require great physical strength and strength, and after the three knives, there will be a certain period of weakness, so many times, if Guan Yu's first three knives can't kill the enemy, it will be difficult to kill the opponent next, not to mention that not everyone has the talent and ability of Guan Yu.
Guan Xing followed Liu Yi for a long time, and began to figure out his own path, he didn't have the terrifying talent and strength of his father, and he naturally couldn't copy it, plus he had studied with Liu Yi for a period of time in the enemy's heart, and it was also based on this that he created his own three knives, the first knife was extremely powerful, the second knife was weakened, so that the enemy was relaxed, and the third knife was silent, but it was extremely tricky, if it was fierce and domineering, it was naturally not as good as Guan Yu's three knives, but if the effect was not much worse, the most important thing was that the effort consumed was smaller, It has a strong endurance, even if it is difficult to cut the enemy with three knives, it has enough strength to fight the enemy.
When the third knife hit, Zhang Hu was obviously half a beat slower, and when he raised his hand to parry, he had already been cut off by Guan Xing.
"Zhang Liao's junior, but that's it!" Seeing Zhang Hu's big head rising into the sky, Guan Xing pursed his lips disdainfully.
Guan Yu still has some affection for Zhang Hu, firstly, he doesn't want to bully the small, and secondly, he does miss some old feelings.
But that is Guan Yu's feelings, Guan Xing and Zhang Liao have nothing to do with each other, so naturally they will not care about any friendship, on the battlefield, that is the enemy, not to mention, for Guan Xing, he is somewhat hostile to Zhang Liao.
The reason, it has nothing to do with Guan Yu, Zhang Liao was originally a general of Lu Bu, and there is nothing to say about Lu Bu's defeat and surrender to Cao Cao, but when Lu Lingqi's mother and daughter were abused in Xuchang, Zhang Liao, as Lu Bu's general, did not ask to give up everything to protect Lu Lingqi like Wei Yue and leave, but he didn't let go of a fart, and even pretended not to see it, which made Guan Xing dissatisfied.
Maybe Zhang Liao has Zhang Liao's difficulties, but Guan Xing is unhappy, you know, he and Zhang Bao's martial arts, in addition to the family heirloom, Lu Lingqi has also given a lot of guidance, not to mention the relationship with Liu Yi, just Lu Lingqi, when they were young, Lu Lingqi watched them grow up, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fought all the year round, after the two entered the academy, they basically lived in Liu Yi's mansion, Liu Yi is also busy all year round, Lu Lingqi is half of their mother.
Regardless of whether Lu Lingqi meant this or not, but in Guan Xing and Zhang Bao's opinion, that is, Zhang Liao was sorry for Lu Lingqi, so when Zhang Hu, who was released by his father, appeared on the battlefield again, Guan Xing was not polite at all, and even part of the reason why he sent troops so fiercely this time was that he heard that Zhang Hu was coming, and he led the army out directly, not for anything else, but for his aunt.
The main generals are all dead, and the Wei army that is still resisting around them still has the courage to continue fighting in the face of this invulnerable vine armor soldier?
Guan Xing picked up the knife, picked up Zhang Hu's head, hung it on the horse's neck, looked at the Wei army in chaos around him, and shouted: "When the main general is dead, immediately put down his weapons and surrender, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”
The fear spread among the Wei army, and the invulnerable vine armor army was already terrified, and now that he saw that his own main general was also killed by the other party's main general, how could he still have the heart to fight again.
Many people are still running, but the nearby Wei army has begun to drop their weapons, kneeling to surrender, Guan Xing only brought a thousand rattan armor soldiers, and there are so many kneeling soldiers in the middle, there is no way to chase and kill, so they can only order someone to collect the Wei army to surrender, and after making sure that the other party has no ambush soldiers, escort the more than 2,000 Wei troops back to the city.
After returning to the city, he immediately wrote a letter, and after doing a simple treatment of Zhang Hu's head, he also ordered someone to send it to Nanyang, so that Pang Tong could help send it to Chang'an, and also make his aunt happy.
On the other side, Cao Shuang commanded the army before it arrived in Shicheng, when he saw the rout in front fleeing back, he was shocked, and on the one hand, he ordered people to restrain the rout, and on the other hand, the generals and generals came to inquire about the situation.
The 10,000 vanguard army was beaten by the 1,000 Han army and lost their armor and collapsed, which was a little unacceptable, especially the main general Zhang Hu was killed by the other party, which made Cao Shuang even more uncomfortable.
This battle has just begun, and not only was the vanguard army broken by the other party, but also a general was lost, which is not a good thing! What's more, the opponent's 1,000-invulnerable army made Cao Shuang's heart sink a little, if all the soldiers on the other side were so invulnerable, how could this battle be fought?
