Originally, it was a fatal spear, but the partial talent Yan Liang elephant trunk knife lightly hit the snake spear, and now he hurriedly drove the horse back, and the stab of the Zhangba snake spear was also a fraction of a centimeter away, and it failed.

The sharp blow, the unparalleled dark strength of the qi, although the stabbing was off, it still cut through the nail leaf on the side of Yan Liang's chest. was secretly shocked in his heart, but his face was disdainful, and he sneered at Zhang Fei: "What a trick to cry and howl." The words were relaxed and leisurely, but they were just forced to calm down, and they didn't want Zhang Fei to kill again, the corners of their mouths twitched, but they could only face it hard.

The elephant trunk knife did not hesitate at all, slashed out diagonally, and slashed towards Zhang Fei's head, whistling in the wind, as fast as thunder, but it was the last to come first. Zhang Fei laughed dumbly, he was also a first-class general under Yuan Shao's account, and he actually played such a little trick in front of him? Disdainfully, the snake spear qi in his hand suddenly rose, and the Zhangba snake spear, which had not changed in the eyes of ordinary people, was quickly surrounded by white mangs at a speed visible to the naked eye in the eyes of martial artists.

When people practice martial arts, it is difficult to ascend to the sky if they want to enter the qi machine, let alone further enter the ethereal realm of heaven and man, but it is even more rare for people like Zhang Fei to be born and favored by the heavens. Such people are born with divine powers, as long as they are not stupid or stunned, they can enter the realm of qi with a little effort. Of course, there are pros and cons, people like Zhang Fei are also difficult to enter the realm of immortals, but they are undoubtedly invincible in the realm of qi, these people are favored by God, and they can often communicate with heaven and earth.

Yan Liang's sharp blow fell on the head, but Zhang Fei was not in a hurry this time, and the Zhangba snake spear swept forward.

No matter how you look at it, it was an understatement blow, but I didn't want to make a sonorous sound of gold and iron at the moment of collision, and when the ear drum trembled, Yan Liang was bounced backwards by Zhang Fei's blow, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

Zhang Fei's blow was too terrifying, and Yan Liang immediately staggered back. Return to the battle to block the Liaodong cavalry.

Zhang Fei will soon be divided here, but Guan Yu over there is in a real bitter battle.

The first to die is by no means as strong as imagined, this is the conclusion that Guan Yu came to before the battle with Lu Yi.

First of all, the strength of the dragoon army is not only the strength of hand-to-hand combat, but also the horror of cavalry archery. Compared with the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, its strength is at most comparable to the Liaodong cavalry led by Zhang Fei and Yan Zhi, which is the so-called Youzhou cavalry, but the dragoon army is the best selected from the cavalry, and there are three skill considerations, one is to control the strings, the other is to ride, and the third is to fight.

It can be seen from this that the recruitment of brave soldiers is the easiest, followed by horsemanship. Horses are the only means of transportation in ancient times, and horseback riding is more 'popular', especially in the horse-producing areas of northern Xinjiang, so it is not difficult to find someone who understands riding when recruiting, and it is easier to fight and kill, and it doesn't matter. But the real difficulty is this control.

Compared with the Hu people, the cavalry of the Han Dynasty was by no means inferior in horsemanship. Although riding is not easy to learn, after the appearance of unilateral stirrups, it is not as obvious as the gap with the Hu people hundreds of years ago, and the real gap is only in this string control archery.

The reason why Hu Qi is weaker than Han Qi is that his equipment is backward. The reason why Hu Qi is stronger than Han Qi is that the flying arrow is accurate.

To use an old saying, that is, there are many people who practice bows and arrows in the world, but there may not be a single exquisite one among thousands of people, which can be seen in the era of cold weapons. The weapon that is really difficult to learn and master is none other than the bow and arrow. And if you want to become a dragoon, the first thing you need to have is the arm strength to be able to open the two-stone strong bow, and the second is to be able to accurately shoot arrows and hit the target from a hundred paces.

How many people in this world can match these two points? Even if you shoot 2,000, you still have to learn how to complete the bow on horseback, build an accurate arrow and shoot the target, the difficulty is doubled, but the elimination is a geometric increase, and in the end, it does not mean that you have become a qualified dragoon, because you also have to complete the above actions on the back of a running horse, and finally shoot the target, in order to become a qualified dragoon.

It is conceivable how much effort the dragoons have wasted enough to gather these 3,000 people, and once the dragoons are damaged, it is extremely difficult to make up for them.

Compared with archers, crossbowmen are easier to train, the advantage of crossbow machine is that it is easy to learn, and it is more accurate than the bow and arrow, even if the enemy is close to a few steps, you can also kill the enemy, this bow and arrow is not better, but the advantage of the bow and arrow is a long word, so the Han book will say that the end of the strong crossbow, can not wear Lu Min, that is to say, the effective range of the crossbow machine is strong and powerful within fifty steps, and the launch is accurate, but if it exceeds this distance, it is difficult to accurately hit the target, even if it hits the target, it can not cause damage, But the archer only needs to draw the bowstring, and the archers shoot at an elevation angle, so the archer can kill the enemy even if he fires from a hundred paces away.

It's just that this battle is a strange word, the distance is not far when it is killed from the flank, as long as it rushes forward about 100 meters, it can enter the effective range, and Guan Yu must effectively kill and injure the first dead soldier at a distance, otherwise let it get closer, with the lethality of the crossbow machine, the dragoon army will pay a heavy price.

"Shoot!"

Three thousand bows and arrows fired in a volley, the arrows were like flying locusts, covering the sky and the sun, buzzing through the air, like flying locusts flapping their wings, but who knew that the first army actually used wooden trees to defend, and the first wave of arrow rain of the dragoon army was all blocked to the ground. After a rain of arrows, the second wave of arrows of the Dragoon Army came in an instant, but in the face of the wooden defense of the first army, the bow was once again bounced away.

Not a single person was shot or killed in the eight hundred sendens, not even minor injuries appeared.

Blocking two waves of arrows in a row, the first to board the dead and move forward bravely.

Lu Yi dared to say that today is Liu De'an's death, and it is by no means untargeted!

Guan Yu's pupils that had been slightly squinted opened and closed rapidly, and the first dead man was indeed beyond imagination, and immediately signaled Yongsheng and sent him to lead a thousand people from the dragoon headquarters to shoot from the flanks, this time to see how he defended again.

However, the two-way attack still did not pay off, and the formation of the first deceased soldier changed slightly, once again defended against the arrows flying from the flanks and fronts, and then strode forward with the wooden pole.

"Blow the trumpet, order Yongsheng to rush from the flank!" Guan Yu gritted his teeth, the dragoons were all baby bumps, such a tentative attack was originally done by the Liaodong Army, but now he had to rely on human lives to charge, in fact, there was a moment when he thought about guerrilla warfare. They used such a method in the grassland to make the Hu people suffer a lot, but if they retreated like this now, Xiandeng would never come to chase and turn around and kill Yan Zhi on one side, if so, it would be fatal.

Guan Yu had no choice, Danfeng's eyes suddenly widened. Looking at Yongsheng who began to charge, the longbow had been replaced with a horse lance, and rushed straight towards the first dead man, but the first dead man hid behind the wooden tree again, only the strong crossbow was exposed, the crossbow machine was triggered, buzzing and roaring, and only a wave of crossbow arrows shot down dozens of people with people and horses.

Yongsheng wanted to catch the crossbowman winding time and spend time, and immediately speed up the charge. However, at this moment, a second wave of powerful crossbow arrows flew out, and dozens of dragoons were immediately shot and fell from their horses, killed or wounded. Yongsheng's eyes were bloodshot, and when he was screaming and rushing forward, Guan Yu's horn to withdraw his troops suddenly sounded.

Guan Yu's heart was bleeding, and nearly 100 people were shot and killed in the blink of an eye, which was the heaviest battle for the Dragoons since its establishment. And from the impact of the dragoon army just now, he can see the tactics of the first to die, and the eight hundred people are divided into three teams: the front, the middle and the rear. After the front team shoots the crossbow arrows, they will carry the wooden pole and retreat and then use their feet to guide the crossbow machine, and the squadron will shoot the crossbow arrows from the front team at this time, and after the squadron shoots, the rear team will shoot again, so that the first dead soldier will always maintain a distance of fifty meters. The dragoons who entered the range were continuously and violently attacked by the first dead soldiers, and it was difficult to break through to more than ten meters, and the dragoons led by Yongsheng always maintained a formation when charging, without reserving depth, which could indeed be effective when fighting with the Hu people. But for these firsts, that is, they are sending them to death, and there is no way to hide, not to mention that Yongsheng only led more than 1,000 people to charge, even if the dragoon army of 3,000 people launched an attack together, it was difficult to get close.

At this moment, he finally understood why the wolf cavalry was left behind by the dead soldiers who had left the corpses of 3,000 people.

Liu Lan found out that Guan Yu was in danger, and now he must retreat, reassemble from the new, disperse the formation, and increase the depth to rush over in one go, as long as he can fight with Xiandeng in close quarters, he can turn the tide of the battle, of course, there is one last option, that is, to withdraw, but in this way, I am afraid that I will really be forced to cross the Yellow River north by Xiandeng.

"Sima, let me rush again!" Yongsheng asked for the order again, a water chestnut face was full of unwillingness, and the dragoons behind him also had such expressions, unwilling, even humiliated.

Yes, whether it is Lu Yi arrogantly saying in front of everyone that Liu Lan will die or shooting hundreds of dragoons in several volleys, this can be regarded as a great shame for the dragoon army, which has never been defeated since its establishment, and now they have only one thought in their hearts, even if they die, they must correct the name of the dragoon!

The dragoon soldiers stood tall on their waists, and looked at Sima Liu Lan with a resolute face, looking forward to it in their hearts. Finally, Sima nodded and agreed to their request.

This battle is irrelevant, and it has not reached the point of life and death, even if it retreats, it is okay, of course, some people will say that it is ugly, this is a humiliating retreat, but at best, it is to avoid the enemy's edge, and retreat in the face of difficulties, as long as the green mountains are still worried, there is no firewood? But Liu Lan finally chose a very dangerous path, and the reason why he fought to the end was to allow the dragoons to face difficulties and never flinch when they encountered any strong enemy.

He knew that if he retreated today, what would happen tomorrow? Is it possible to retreat as soon as you encounter the first to die? No, before mastering the heavy cavalry armor forging technology, the light cavalry and dragoons must catch the way to defeat the first dead soldiers, even if there will be losses in the process, they must also be hard-hearted, and the grudge between him and Yuan Shao has just begun!

The first deceased soldier lifted the wooden tree to advance again, while Yongsheng raised his arm to hold the horse lance, and the lance pointed to the first deceased deceased, and the remaining dragoons of more than 880 people raised their spears in unison and were ready to charge.

"Our current identity is the Dragoon!"

Yongsheng's voice sounded in a low voice, word by word: "But we are also Youzhou Turquoise Cavalry!! ”

At the moment of raising his arms, Yongsheng roared and soared into the sky: "Youzhou Army!! ”

"Fight to the death!! No refund!! ”

In a scene of boiling blood, Liu Lan excitedly pulled out the dragon slayer knife on his waist and shouted the slogans they were once proud of with the dragoon soldiers, not only Liu Lan, but also Guan Yu, the remaining two thousand dragoon troops, and even the Liaodong army that was fighting the enemy, as well as Zhang Fei and Yan Zhi.

"Youzhou Army, fight to the death!! No refund!! ”

The original words of this sentence should be that the Youzhou army only knows how to fight to the death, and would rather die than retreat! The origin of this slogan is spread when fighting with the Xianbei Hu people and the Karasuma Hu people, and it is impossible to verify who was the first to shout, but it will be quoted to this day, but it is caused by geographical factors, the Liaodong army can not retreat, and the Hu people face their homeland when they retreat, and the Liaodong army must fight to the death, otherwise the people will be slaughtered.

Morale climbed to the peak in an instant, Yongsheng and the dragoon launched a fierce charge, and on the other side, Zhang Fei and led the Liaodong army to start the end, while Yan Zhi was still struggling with Wen Chou.

The battle is stalemate, but the three battlefields, the most critical one is about to end, Zhang Fei has begun to lead the Liaodong Army to launch a comprehensive attack on the enemy infantry after repelling Yan Liang, under the leadership of Zhang Fei, the Liaodong Army is fighting more and more fiercely, and has killed Yan Liang's infantry everywhere, but it is enough to be proud of the infantry and cavalry for so long, but in the face of absolute superiority, it can only be proud, but it cannot reverse the result.

Although Zhang Fei was about to win, Liu Lan changed his mind, he immediately conveyed the order, and immediately went to Yan Zhi to support after Zhang Fei defeated Yan Liang, as long as these two enemy forces were defeated, the rest of the first army would be easy to say, stay or go, do whatever you want.

But at this time, the first army is the most terrifying enemy, and it is also the enemy army that is enough to determine the final direction of this battle.

Will Yongsheng and his own 1,000 dragoons be able to win in the end? No one is sure, not even Liu Lan is sure. Using light cavalry against strong crossbows, this is an unequal battle, and any result is expected by him.

Guan Yu looked at the battlefield and whispered to Liu Lan, "Lord, if Yongsheng is defeated, the last general will ask for orders to lead the dragoon army to charge in an all-round way." ”

It is absolutely not advisable to charge in an all-round way, otherwise Liu Lan and even Guan Yu will not only send Yongsheng to lead the charge of the headquarters, imagine that even the charge of a thousand dragoons is not enough under the blow of a strong crossbow, and the three thousand people charge together, it will be even more dense, not only will it not be effective, but it will also become a target, and at that time, the first dead soldier will not even need to aim, and he can cause casualties to the dragoon. Liu Lan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and refused.

But Guan Yu didn't agree, and said confidently: "Lord, I thought about it carefully, two thousand dragoons will attack in two ways, and they will definitely be able to make eight hundred people go first!" ”

"But you can also see that the first two volleys were blocked, which means that they have protected the flanks and even the rear, and the two-way attack will inevitably be difficult to achieve."

"Lord, the last general has thought carefully, the first to die is to shoot in sections, if there are a large number of people, the last general may not have a chance of winning, but it is only eight hundred, once the last general attacks in two ways, with the speed of the crossbow machine, the strength of the first attack will inevitably weaken, so that the dragoon army is easier to rush into the enemy formation."

Liu Lan was stunned, and then overjoyed: "Yes, Yun Chang, your idea is completely feasible!" (To be continued......)
