Compared with the strategizing of the first era, the probability of being a general in the cold weapon period as a general and taking the lead on the battlefield is far greater than that of the former, and it will be the courage of the soul of the army, and their role in the battle between the two armies is not only in the fighting generals, but also in the melee. It is based on the skilled martial arts of the generals of this era, and the encouragement they can bring to the morale of the army at a critical juncture or crisis is immeasurable, in fact, this is the true meaning of "ten thousand enemies"! The combat power of soldiers under the leadership of brave generals like Liu Yi, Guan Yu, and Dian Wei will be greatly bonus, and in some cases, it will be better than 10,000 people!
In this melee, Cao Zixiao gave full play to this advantage, maybe his martial arts are difficult to match the top masters like Liu Yi and Zhao Yun, but it is not something that the Long Xiang soldiers in front of him can compete with, although they are as fierce as ever, but the absolute strength gap is not something that can be made up by courage and will. In the entanglement of thousands of people, the strength of the individual will obviously seem small, but when this strong point is unstoppable, it will have a key impact on the overall battle situation.
If the number of people on both sides was equal at this time, he would never choose to fight Cao Zixiao, this is not a matter of courage, but the duty of a general. The enemy will attack his own camp, and he can also draw a gourd back, maybe there is a gap between the two strong points, but in the face of ordinary soldiers, the efficiency is almost the same, so why bother to fight an uncertain battle? But the current situation cannot be applied to such a tactic, the number is at a disadvantage, the Long Xiang army relies on a slightly better physique and strong morale support, being killed by Cao Ren like this cannot be stopped, no matter how firm the confidence will be shaken, no matter what, Wang Erhu must stop Cao Ren's momentum!
In the bloody battle of Lianshan in the Battle of Jizhou, the Jizhou army had the upper hand regardless of the strength and momentum, and the elite and morale of the soldiers were not under the Youzhou army, but when they were about to take the walled city, they fell short, and the reason was Liu Yi's personal assault! No matter what method is used, how many lives are piled up, but everything is in vain in front of the enemy general, when all the methods are exhausted and can not stop the other party's progress, the will of the Jizhou army to win is destroyed, and Liu Yi's play in that battle is a classic example of the military general on the battlefield to turn the tide of the battle with the power of one person.
When the news of the bloody battle of Lianshan came out, the most shocked were undoubtedly those generals who were in the spectrum of the generals, and they knew in their hearts how difficult it was to do this. If it is in the horse war, although Liu Yi's performance is not extraordinary, but with his strength is also ordinary, but in the foot battle, it is completely two concepts, without the help of war horses, everything has to rely on its own strength, and its difficulty and loss will increase exponentially. And they don't doubt the authenticity of this news, it is precisely with such a performance that they can be worthy of the title of the first general of the storm, after coming to this world, Liu Langsheng has done few shocking things?
Of course, only Lang Sheng himself knows the hardships of this battle, and even to some extent can have such a result, it depends on the prestige he has established under the victory of a hundred battles, if he changes people, even if he has the same strength, he will definitely not be able to do such an effect. That's the case, the loss after the battle was also unprecedented in his life, even if he fought with the desperate Lu Feng in Fuping City until the end, he didn't try such a soft bones, which also affected the state after that.
Cao Ren is a general of Cao Ying, and his martial arts are first-class, but he can't do it if he wants to be invincible among thousands of armies like Lang Sheng, he must lead his own soldiers to protect the left and right, so that he can kill the enemy in front of him wholeheartedly in the melee. When Yan Ling's knife was waiting for a handful of blood rain to cut off the two Long Xiang soldiers who rushed in with him, a steel spear struck out of the oblique stab finally blocked this long knife that killed many Yan soldiers, but the strength that came from his hand Cao Ren knew that this opponent was by no means unusual, and he must be a brave man in Long Xiang's army.
Wang Erhu is seven feet five inches long, but he weighed only more than 120 pounds before, looking very thin, Liu Yi once joked about his figure, saying that it was "no tiger in the mountains, monkeys are overlords." At that time, everyone laughed, and Yan Jun's good food over the years did not make him a little blessed. However, the second tiger is by no means a skinny person, his thinness belongs to the category of strong, if you underestimate his strength, you will suffer a big loss, and its movements are indeed as sensitive as an ape, the more in the fierce battle, the more it can show its extraordinary, on weekdays, he is also one of the few lieutenants who dare to learn from Gongming in the Longxiang army, that is, Xu Huang has to clean him up at least forty times away, that is still in the horse battle, the strength of the second tiger is stronger, and its flexibility is extremely headache, Otherwise, how could it be his turn to serve as the captain of the Yan Army's ace Long Xiang Army?
There is such a saying among the Yan army, never think about losing and hurting Zhang Shiba, if you do this, the one who is seriously injured must be you, even Zhao Yun, who is as strong as Gan Ning, admits that the choice made by Zhang Shibai between life and death is the most correct one, and injuries are commonplace for him, but every time it looks like blood is blurred, it is almost a flesh injury. Wang Erhu's fame is not as great as that of Zhang Shiba, who can't be killed, but in the internal competition of the Long Xiang Army, no one dares to play with him except Xu Huang, Zhang Shibai can only play fully when both are defeated, but Wang Erhu can always choose the most suitable tactics.
Facing Cao Ren, the general of Cao Ying, Erhu took out his housekeeping skills, fighting! He is not afraid of being at a disadvantage, and he is not afraid of ugly posture, he is not a world-famous general, and he has to take care of his own demeanor among the generals, with only one purpose, to entangle Cao Ren to death, as long as he can support the strongest Cao army, his subordinates are enough to fight until the reinforcements come! More than a dozen knives were blocked by the opponent, Cao Ren was also quite distressed in his heart, the opponent was not difficult to deal with in martial arts, but it was extremely flexible, he could even use such a trick of lazy donkey rolling, and the occasional move was even more vicious and strange, if these tricks were not available in the horse war, but the situation was different when fighting on foot, although he was forced to be a little left and right by his own Yanling knife but he did not retreat!
The martial arts strength Cao Ren is obviously above Wang Erhu, and his reputation and status are far superior, but when it comes to the flexibility of the body alone, he may not be able to pass, but for the current foot combat, the body will play an extremely critical role, and they all have to use their legs to replace the war horse. Wang Erhu also saw this point and chose this method of warfare to fight against Cao Ren, generally speaking, most of the strength of those fierce generals' foot combat is to fight with horses, and the space for maneuvering between them will be even greater, so in the Yan army, there are only Liu Yi and Ganning who are at the same level of horse warfare!
Wang Erhu defeated Cao Ren for thirty rounds, and the Long Xiang army stabilized its position again, lacking the strongest point of the main general, their strength advantage was not enough to defeat the strong enemy, at this time Cao Ren's sword technique also changed, becoming more fierce and direct, he no longer cared about the damage that the opponent might cause him, these thirty rounds have roughly figured out Wang Erhu's strength, the key is that in the current battle situation, he must defeat the current enemy as soon as possible, with Xu Huang's troops, he will never go deep alone so easily, There must be reinforcements behind this team of Long Xiang soldiers, if you can completely annihilate the enemy in front of you if you collect some injuries, this price is worth paying!
Once Cao Zixiao's side goes all out, Wang Erhu will be a little unbearable, and he can still hold on to the situation by taking care of the injury in the other party's heart, but at this time, after Cao Ren threw down the burden, the difference in strength between the two sides was revealed, and after being forced by the enemy general to fight hard seven times in a row, the corners of Wang Erhu's mouth were already overflowing with blood, but at this time he couldn't retreat, and there was no other choice but to fight to the death! Cao Ren sneered, and the five swords in a row were attacking again, he didn't expect this unknown person in the Yan army to have such combat power, but within these five swords, he could make the enemy general's head different, how could Cao Ying's first-class generals be stoppable by ordinary people?
Wang Erhu stubbornly blocked Cao Ren's four knives, at this time, not only the corners of his mouth, but also the blood flowing out of his mouth and nose, like a ghost, the last knife he could still react in his mind, but his body really couldn't keep up, the hands holding the spear no longer listened to his own call, death was so close to him at that moment, and his skin could even feel the chill on the Yanling knife!
