Volume 4 Enthronement Chapter 17 The Fall of the Tiger and Par
The bear fire burned in the trench, and the misreading around it instantly increased a lot, and after that, it brought a wave of heat and rushed towards Xiahouba, the wounded war horses in the trench neighed helplessly, and the gray-black smoke gradually spread around. *UC eBook*Chinese*)
However, Jin Mo on the opposite side refused to give up, and from time to time he commanded people to throw some flammable items such as dry wood or wood into the trench.
Xiahou Ba looked at everything in front of him in despair, now the roads in front and behind were blocked by fire, and the archers on both sides also shot sharp arrows from time to time, consuming the lives of his tiger and leopard knights. Although the archery skills of these archers are very ordinary, and they only use ordinary bows and arrows, they cannot withstand the long-term consumption, and even if ten people fall on their side after shooting a round of arrows, it will not be long before the brothers who rush in with them will definitely be wiped out.
Looking at the archers on the roofs on both sides, Xiahou Ba gritted his teeth, the houses on these two sides are not very high, if there are ladders, you can jump up in three or two steps. But now there are fires in front and back, and the only way is from both sides.
Thinking of this, Xiahou Ba shouted: "Everyone get off the horse and climb the wall for me!" ”
In fact, the houses on both sides are not very high, even if they are deliberately raised, if you stand on the shoulders of another person, you can still climb up. Now Xiahouba's only way to survive is the houses on both sides, if he can attack the roof of one side and gain a firm foothold, he can turn defeat into victory.
Xiahou Ba gave an order, and almost all the tigers and leopards dismounted, preparing to climb the wall in the way of stacking arhats. It can be said that in order to survive, this group of tiger and leopard cavalry has given up the greatest advantage of their cavalry.
At the same time, the soldiers of the crested village also began to rush to the roofs on both sides from behind, only to see Niu Dameng with more than 30 people, the first to rush up, each of these people with a long-pole gun in their hands, after going to the roof, they stabbed at the tigers and leopards who were ready to stack the Arhats. At the same time, the main target of the archers has become those who are ready to climb the wall and ride the tigers and leopards.
The huge terrain advantage on the roof was instantly revealed, and these dismounted tiger and leopard knights had no siege weapons and no thick armor protection, and in this unobstructed place, they were completely used as targets, especially the more than 30 spears brought by Niu Dameng, and there was a big hole in their bodies.
The tigers and leopards fell one after another, and the corpses of people and horses were soon piled up, and many tigers and leopards hid behind the horses, letting their horses' asses block the arrows, and as there were more and more corpses on the ground, there were more and more corpses that could be used to block arrows, and the role of the archers was much smaller.
Xiahou Ba looked at it. Including charging towards the crested village just now. Now he has lost nearly 300 people. Two hundred of them fell on the bows and arrows that came from both sides. After all, there were eighty archers on the roofs of the houses on either side. In such a half a day, each person also released more than 30 arrows. That adds up to more than 2,400 arrows. If it's those well-trained archers. Shoot these densely tiger leopard rides. More than 2,400 arrows can bring down at least 600 people. But the archers of this crested village are all amateurs. So it took half a day to shoot down more than 200 people.
Two or three hundred corpses. It's a hill when it comes together. If you add horses. It's definitely a lot of piles. In the first few rooftop locations. The height of the corpse floor was almost up to the roof. And the tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers stepped on the corpses of their companions and rushed upward. Gradually, people were able to rush to the roof.
Meanwhile. Niu Dameng pulled out the big axe from his waist. With a loud shout, he greeted him. Get ready for hand-to-hand combat. And the reinforcements from the crested village also kept pouring towards the rooftops. The two sides fought fiercely on the rooftops.
The Haw Par Cavalry soldiers know it. Now the only hope for survival is to occupy the rooftops on both sides. So they all rushed forward one by one. And the crested village people are robbers. They're outlaws themselves. There are a lot of official and military geography studies in his hands. If you are caught by this group of officers and soldiers. Surely there is certain death. So it's the same to rush forward and kill desperately.
All of a sudden. The sound of weapons colliding. The soldiers screamed. Hurt moans mingled. Flesh and blood flying. The blood turned into a long line. Slide down from the roof. dripping on the ground. Sucked into the dirt.
But the two armies were at war. It's not just a word of "bravery" that can win. Training, coordination, and weaponry on both sides are all very important. Speaking of training and coordination. The difference between the two sides is not very large. Although the crested mountain is a bandit. But there is no shortage of practice on weekdays. But to talk about armament. The gap between the two sides is wide.
The leopard cavalry led by Xiahou Ba are all light cavalry, in order to reduce the pressure of the war horse, the leopard cavalry is only a small amount of armor, and the thickness is average, and the bandits on the crested mountain are a standard armor of the Cao army infantry, which is much stronger than the leopard knights. The weapons of the leopard knights are mainly cavalry weapons, such as cavalry spears or something, the length is relatively long, but there is a lack of flexibility in close combat, especially on the roof, the space is relatively narrow, and the riding spear is not only inflexible, but also easy to accidentally injure companions.
As for short weapons, the Leopard Knights naturally also have them, but in order to reduce the burden on the horses, the Leopard Knights chose a lighter sword instead of a sword. This kind of sword is okay for self-defense, but it is a little worse for high-load combat, such as in this kind of small-scale hand-to-hand combat, the effect of a wide and heavy sword swing is naturally greater than that of a sword.
And the bandits of Crested Mountain are precisely equipped with Pu Dao.
In the Three Kingdoms era, the cavalry was not the main force of the battle, the two armies were fighting, and the real main force of the battle was the infantry, and the cavalry units such as the tiger and leopard cavalry were originally to assist the cavalry in combat, and the main role of the cavalry on the battlefield was to intersperse the flanks, from or to attack the enemy's logistics line. For frontal confrontation with infantry, light cavalry such as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is not good at it, and the establishment of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was naturally not for large-scale hand-to-hand combat with the infantry, so it is normal for the Leopard Cavalry not to be equipped with infantry melee weapons.
Xiahou Ba below also showed the seriousness of the problem at this time, in such a narrow area above the roof, the riding spear was definitely unusable, and the swords of his subordinates could not be compared with the Pu knife of the crested mountain bandits, the bandits were completely able to cut off half of the arms of the tiger and leopard knights, and the sword of the tiger and leopard knights could only cause a wound on the bandits.
And the Niu Dameng is even more unscrupulous in the crowd, the fragile armor of the leopard knights is difficult to block even the Pu knife, let alone the bull big axe, and the tiger and leopard knights are sabers, and they are not even qualified to block the Niu Dameng axe, in the blink of an eye,
The tiger and leopard knights in Da Meng's hands have reached double digits.
At this moment, I saw a tall man with a height of nine feet appeared from behind the crowd, holding a large Pu knife in his hand, rushed over, and cut off the head of a leopard knight soldier with a knife in his hand.
Xiang Fei, the lord of the big village, joined the battle, and the morale of the bandits in the crested mountains was greatly boosted, and they gained the upper hand in a moment.
"Brothers, kill me!" Xiang Fei shouted, rushed to the front, and gradually forced the soldiers of the tiger and leopard riders off the roof.
At this time, Xiahou Ba vaguely saw that this tall man should be a leader on this crested mountain, if he could kill him, it should relieve the pressure on his side, so Xiahou Ba drew a bow and arrow from behind him, aimed to fly, and shot an arrow over.
Xiahou Ba's archery skills are good, and he got the true biography of Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan was a very good archery general at the beginning, and now Xiahou Ba's attainments in archery are not much worse than Xiahou Yuan back then.
I saw this discord flying towards Xiang Fei's choked throat, and at the same time, Xiang Fei was also aware of Xiahou Badi's arrows, after all, Xiang Fei had been in the Huns for many years, and he also had a high attainment in archery, and people who were generally good at archery would definitely be more sensitive to others shooting their own arrows.
Xiahou Ba used a three-stone big bow, and the timing of this arrow was very good, just when Xiang Fei slashed down. At this time, Xiang Feidao had already gone out, and he would definitely not be able to take it back, and at the same time, the center of gravity of the body was also a forward trend, at this time, because of inertia, Xiang Fei could not dodge Xiahou Ba's arrow at all.
Xiang Fei secretly screamed in his heart, he couldn't dodge this arrow even if he wanted to, at this time Xiang Fei's mind wanted to dodge, but his body didn't have time to react anymore. swept away from the corner of his eye, and saw Xiahou Ba holding a bow in his hand, with a smug smile on his face.
"I'm dying!" Just when Xiang Fei was about to close his eyes and wait for death, a hand suddenly reached out in the air, with a sound of breaking the air, stretched out to Xiang Fei's body, and then this hand clenched violently, and at the same time clenched his fist, it actually drove the air to make a "bang" sound, and then I saw that the arrow stopped only a finger away from Xiang Fei's throat.
Xiang Fei hurriedly looked down, and the sharp arrow shot by Xiahou Ba was firmly held in his hand by this hand.
Grab the arrows with your bare hands!
This scene surprised Xiahouba, all along, Xiahouba is very confident in his archery skills, Xiahouba naturally let him know how powerful the arrows shot by the three-stone big bow in his hand are and the speed of many pieces, unless it is a general who reacts very quickly, he will definitely not be able to dodge the arrows shot by Xiahouba, let alone catch the arrows in the air. But now, the arrow he shot was caught by someone in the air.
I saw that the hand holding the arrow was gently put down, and then the man turned around, and Xiahou Ba fixed his eyes to see that the person who had just grabbed his arrow was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy! Immediately afterwards, Xiahou Ba immediately recognized that this young man was not the Liu Chan drawn on the wanted notice!
Liu Chan is actually here, mixed with this gang of robbers! At this time, Xiahou Ba's mind was in chaos, and he couldn't figure out the ins and outs of the matter at all.
"Protect Childe!" At this time, Jin Mo came from behind, and when he saw that Adou had actually gone to the front line, he immediately exclaimed.
Jin Mo's words reminded Xiahou Ba that when he heard these thieves call Adou "Childe", Xiahou Ba's eyes flashed. It seems that the gang of robbers in Crested Mountain knows Adou's identity and is still protecting Adou. The so-called capture the thief first captures the king, if he can catch Adou and use Adou to coerce this gang of robbers, then things will be much easier.
Thinking of this, Xiahou Ba did not hesitate at all, and released three arrows at Adou, and then Xiahouba jumped over and pounced towards Adou.
Although Xiahou Ba's arrows are very fast and powerful, in Adou's eyes, they can only be regarded as average, and Tong Yuan's gun must be that Xiahou Ba's three arrows can only be regarded as pediatrics. I saw Adou wave his other hand, and a cold light flashed, and all three arrows were pushed aside.
At this time, everyone noticed that in Adou's other hand, he was holding a broad-bladed and short-handled Pu knife, revealing a chill.
If it is a competition between the two, the cold night sword of Adoudi is a good choice, after all, this is only a fight between two people, and it is better to use a blade like the cold night sword, but if it is a confrontation before the battle, the cold night has a congenital disadvantage, that is, the cold night sword is too thin and thin.
When the two armies are in battle, human reflexes, strength, agility, and physical strength are far more important than those subtle moves. In terms of weapons, when the two armies intersect in short arms, the Pu knife is undoubtedly the most suitable weapon, this Pu knife can cut and stab, and the weight is not light, plus the toughness is full, it is very easy to use on the battlefield, and the sword does not have so many advantages as the Pu knife. Since Adou didn't have a stick with him, Adou took a sturdy simple knife from the armory to facilitate use on the battlefield.
At this time, Xiahou Ba had already rushed up, only to see Xiahou Ba pull out the sword from his waist, and the sword turned into a silver light in the air, and rushed straight to Adou, and Adou also faced Xiahouba.
The sword in Xiahou Ba's hand is not an ordinary sword, this is Xiahou Yuan's relic, and it was given to Xiahou Yuan by Cao Cao back then.
"Bang!" The Dipu knife in Adou's hand collided with Xiahouba's sword, and sparks splashed everywhere, at this time, Adou looked at his own blade again, only to see that a gap had appeared on the blade, but Xiahouba's sword was intact.
"Another sword!" Adou muttered. These days, Adou has seen a lot of divine blades, starting from the Qibao knife in Cao Zhen's hand, and then the Yitian sword in Cao Cao's hand, and later met Tong Yuan and Wang Yue and others, the blades they use are also rare weapons for thousands of years, although the martial arts of the four brothers of the Wang family behind are not as good as Wang Yue, but the sword in their hands is not much worse than Wang Yue's, and now they meet a Xiahou Ba, and the sword in their hands is also a sharp weapon, can the good weapons of the Three Kingdoms era be approved?
At this time, Xiahou Ba also noticed that the Pu knife in Adou's hand had been knocked out of a gap by himself, and Xiahou Ba felt that he had a good weapon and a great advantage, and he should take advantage of the victory to pursue it, so Xiahou Ba rushed up again.
But this time, Adou didn't give Xiahou Ba a chance to touch the weapon again, only to see Adou step forward with an arrow, and then the Pu knife in his hand shook a little, and then a leg pointed to Xiahou Ba's abdomen, and Xiahou Ba reacted quite quickly, only to see Xiahou Bayi
Dodged backwards, and at the same time, the sword in his hand stabbed towards Adou's chest
Adou was also not to be outdone, twisted lightly with one foot, dodged Xiahou Ba's sword, and at the same time came to Xiahou Ba with a sliding step, stretched his knees, and just hit a hole at Xiahou Ba's right shoulder. Xiahou Ba only felt a numbness in his right shoulder, and then his right arm lost sensation, and the sword in his right hand suddenly didn't hold it and fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Adou hit Xiahou Ba from the side with a knife, and Xiahou Ba stumbled and fell to the ground and fainted.
Adou immediately took a step forward, lifted Xiahou Ba, grabbed Xiahou Ba in midair, and shouted with enough internal strength: "Xiahou Ba has been captured by me, so don't surrender quickly!" ”
Adou's voice was very loud, and it spread for several miles. The soldiers of the tiger and leopard riders were stunned when they heard this voice, and then looked in the direction of Adou, only to see the unconscious Xiahou Ba being held in Adou's hands.
Next, the situation did not turn out as Adou expected, everyone laid down their weapons and surrendered, on the contrary, the tiger and leopard knights were stunned, and then ignored Xiahou Ba, who was captured by Adou, and continued to fight.
This time, Adou was a little dumbfounded, Adou originally thought that as long as he grabbed Xiahou Ba, and then raised his arms, these tiger and leopard riders would definitely lay down their arms and surrender, even if they didn't surrender, at least they would be a mess. But I didn't expect that this tiger and leopard knight soldier was just stunned, how to fight or how to fight next, no one cared about Xiahou Ba, the main general.
Adou didn't know that the first military rule of the tiger and leopard rider was to never surrender, and the soldiers of the tiger and leopard rider either died in battle or survived, and never surrendered. So just now, when Adou shouted for the tiger and leopard to surrender, none of the people laid down their arms and surrendered.
Seeing that this group of tigers and leopards not only did not surrender, but became more and more courageous, Adou frowned, speaking of which, there are nearly two hundred tigers and leopards outside this crested village who were blocked by those burning tree trunks in front of the door and did not come in.
Since the enemy refuses to surrender, there is only one way to kill them all, thinking of this, Adou shouted: "Follow me!" Then he carried the Pu Dao Fei forward and rushed into the crowd.
At this time, Adou was eager to solve the battle, and he didn't care about consuming physical strength, but he saw that Adou had enough internal strength, and the Pu knife flew up and down, with a gust of yin wind and pounced on the soldiers of the tiger and leopard cavalry, each knife could make an enemy lose combat effectiveness.
If you want to talk about the efficiency of killing the enemy, Adou who has enough internal force is undoubtedly the most powerful, pure Yang Wuji Gong is originally the internal power of the Yang Di, plus Adou has enough strength, this knife can have a strong penetrating force, which can directly shock the internal organs of the person, needless to say that it is directly cut, even those who block with weapons, there will be a burst of numbness in the arm. And on this battlefield, the slightest hesitation can be fatal, let alone a sudden numbness in the arm.
Adou's performance shocked the morale of the bandits in Fengtou Mountain, but the morale of the soldiers on the tiger and leopard ride plummeted. Although the warriors in the tiger and leopard cavalry only died in battle and did not surrender, no matter who lived well, they also wanted to die. These tigers and leopards look very heroic, and they don't seem to die one by one, but when they really face the place of death, they still can't help but feel a sense of fear in their hearts.
The two armies clashed, if one side was afraid first, then the outcome of the battle was basically doomed, and after a period of attrition, there were now less than 200 tigers and leopards left. If there are 2,000 people, Adou's combat strength alone can't set off too much turmoil, but among the less than 200 people, Adou's strength alone can be highlighted. The soldiers of the tiger and leopard cavalry not only felt that there were fewer and fewer people, but there were more and more enemies, especially Adou, who killed dozens of people in a while, if Adou was allowed to kill, then his less than 200 people would be killed in just a moment.
At this time, perhaps even the soldiers of the tiger and leopard riders did not know about it, and they kept retreating, and gradually, the remaining forty or fifty tiger and leopard riders were forced to the root of the wall. The soldiers of Crested Mountain forced over and surrounded these dozens of tigers and leopards.
Now, the big picture is decided!
……
Outside the crested village, Xiahou Shang with two hundred people was anxiously waiting there, just now, the thick tree trunks that fell from the sky blocked the way for Xiahou Shang to enter the door, and then these tree trunks burned, completely blocking Xiahou Shang's road, so that Xiahou Shang could only stare outside.
However, Xiahou Shang felt that there were 600 people who had just rushed in, and these 600 tigers and leopards should be able to deal with the only 300 bandits, so Xiahou Shang was anxious, but he was not very worried.
Gradually, the shouting and killing sound inside intensified, and then the smoke rose from inside, and Xiahou Shang gradually felt a trace of evil.
Finally, Adou's voice came, and Xiahou Shang naturally heard it clearly, after hearing that Xiahou Ba was arrested, Xiahou Shang was stunned and stood there at a loss. However, at this time, Xiahou Shang had not given up, because Xiahou Shang could still hear the resistance and shouting of the tiger and leopard riders inside, and in Xiahou Shang's opinion, the tiger and leopard riders should be entangled with the bandits.
But as time went by, the sound of shouting and killing and weapons inside became less and less, and Xiahou Shang also knew that the battle here was about to end, and Xiahou Shang's heart was already hanging in his throat at this time. At the same time, Xiahou Shang couldn't stop silently praying that the tiger and leopard rider could win.
"General, the wood has been fetched!" At this time, a small colonel ran over, followed by several people side by side, and these people were carrying a large wooden stake as thick as an ordinary person's waist on their shoulders.
"You guys, go and knock those logs away!" Xiahou Shang shouted.
This is the method that Xiahou Shang thought of, to find a thick tree trunk and knock open the wood that was still burning in front of the door.
"The last general obeys!" The Colonel immediately led someone to hit the burning wood.
The wood had been burned for some time, and a lot of it had been charred, so it was fragile, and after such a hit, a gap immediately appeared.
Xiahou Shang immediately raised his head and looked inside, but everything in front of him surprised Xiahou Shang!
