"General, why did you retreat?" In the Chinese military tent, Pang De looked at Zhang Liao puzzled: "Although Han Rong's martial arts are good, he is old after all, and the last general is willing to fight." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Don't worry about Han Rongye." Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "Ling Ming is gone, the morale of the reinforcements brought by Han Rong is flourishing, coupled with Han Rong's beheading of two generals of our army in a row, which makes the morale of the originally demoralized Youzhou army high. Now the morale of the enemy army is sharp, and the war is fulfilling the old man's wish, and he will be dragged to fight again. ”

Pound suddenly said when he heard this: "The general is wise." ”

"This old spear skill is quite generous." Zhang Liao frowned and said, "Ling Mingjiu Zhenhuguan, have you ever heard of this person?" ”

"I know a little bit about it." Pang De nodded and said: "In the past, Yuan Shao had Hebei Siting Pillar under his command, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and the general should know." ”

"Yes, these four people are extremely brave, among our army, in addition to the lord, I am afraid that only Xiong Kuohai, Ma Chao, me, Ling Ming and Ziming can be compared." Zhang Liao nodded, Gao Shun's martial arts have also advanced by leaps and bounds in the past two years, becoming more and more exquisite, and he is faintly not inferior to Zhang Liao.

"How can the last general? Dare to compete with the generals? Pang De humbled himself, and then said in a deep voice: "It is rumored that these four generals have been instructed by this old man in martial arts and the art of war. North Mingsu, during the period of Emperor Xiaoren, has been famous all over the world, Hebei military generals, respect this person. ”

Emperor Xiaoren, the predecessor of Emperor Liu Hong, Han Rong has experienced four emperors in his life until now, and in terms of this qualification alone, looking at the world, I am afraid that he is also the oldest military general.

Of course, if it is really a life-and-death fight, Han Rong may not have done any of the four court pillars, after all, he is old and decrepit, no matter how exquisite his martial arts are, he will not be durable to fight, Zhang Liao asked himself, martial arts may not be so old and exquisite, but if he really fights, regardless of strength or anything, he should be fine within the lily, as for the lily, then the old man still has the strength to fight with him again, the respect here is probably more of a status respect, after all, even if it is Yan Liangwen and ugly who was famous all over the world under Yuan Shao in the past, he did not dare to be presumptuous in front of this old man.

"Delay him for two days first, the soldiers will fight all the way, or rest for two days and fight again, and after two days, Ben will personally take other people's heads in front of the two armies!" Patting the table, Zhang Liao sneered.

"The general is the chief general of the three armies, and he can't be moved lightly, so let's let the last general do it for him." Pound stood up and pleaded.

Zhang Liao looked at Pang De, smiled and nodded, "It's okay!" Although Pang De's martial arts are not as good as Zhang Liao's now, they are enough to be called the three armies of the brave champions, and it can be seen that Pang De also has the intention of making meritorious contributions.

Zhang Liao closed the door, Han Rong was naturally unwilling, he came this time, it was to fight a quick battle, solve Zhang Liao, and then wave the army south, the idea of expelling Lu Bu, now Zhang Liao is closed, how can he be willing to work, the next two days every day will make people scold outside Zhang Liao's camp, but Zhang Liao is closed, just don't hear, if the Yuan army wants to attack the city, but it will be attacked head-on, Lu Bu's army's advantages in equipment have now begun to highlight, the crossbow is a bit chicken for the hussar guards, with the emergence of the crossbow, The crossbow gradually withdrew from the hussar camp, but for the armies of all parties, the crossbow was a sharp weapon to defend the city, five hundred people held the crossbow to defend the city, and ten times the enemy army could not rush up, Zhang Liao left but asked Lu Bu for five hundred crossbows with arrow boxes, which were used to defend the camp at the moment, Han Rong led the army to attack several times, but they were forced back alive.

"Zhang Liao'er, it's too hateful!" In Jixian County, looking at the casualty report sent up, Han Rong sighed heavily, in the past two days alone, more than 5,000 people were buried under Zhang Liao's military camp.

Yuan Xi nodded, sighed and said: "In Zhang Liao's army, there is a strong crossbow that has never been seen before, which can shoot nine arrow clusters at the same time, and the loading speed is faster than ordinary crossbow arrows, within fifty steps, it is almost invincible. ”

"Tricky and!" Han Rong snorted coldly, thought for a while, and said: "Second son, tomorrow I will lead the army to feint again, you lead the strong archers to suppress the formation in the rear, and when those crossbowmen make a move, you will suppress it with bows and arrows, and I will take advantage of the situation to attack, or I can make a contribution!" ”

The biggest disadvantage of the crossbow is the range, nine arrows fired at the same time, and it is in different directions, the effective shooting distance is only fifty steps, and the force will be dissipated no matter how far away, it cannot be compared with ordinary crossbow arrows, even an ordinary one-stone rhubarb crossbow can shoot a distance of about 100 steps.

"Wonderful!" Yuan Xi's eyes lit up, nodded in praise, and immediately ordered someone to organize the archers.

Early the next morning, Han Rong lined up his troops into five phalanxes, Yuan Xi led the strong archers in the central phalanx, and with Han Rong's order, the front phalanx began to raise their shields to attack Zhang Liao's camp.

Above the gate, Zhang Liao looked at the archers in the back formation, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The weakness of the crossbow has been seen through by Han Rong, I am afraid that it will be a bitter battle today, but unfortunately there are too few crossbows, only enough for the equipment of the hussar battalion, if there are five hundred crossbows at this time, why be afraid of Han Rong?" ”

"Then you don't need a crossbow." Pound nodded, and also saw the clue.

"If you don't use a crossbow, Han Rong will turn the void into reality and storm the camp." patted the guardrail of the gate, Zhang Liao said with a smile: "The old horseman has some strategy, Ling Ming is here to sweep the battle for me, watch me go out to file his sharpness!" ”

"The general is slow, this battle will be done by the last general!" Pang De's spirit was shocked, knowing that Zhang Liao was ready to start fighting back, and immediately clenched his fists and asked for his life.

"Be careful." Zhang Liao glanced at Pang De and said solemnly: "The old horseman is not only strong in martial arts, but also quite proficient in the art of war. ”

"The last general commands!" Pang De solemnly received the order, quickly got out of the gate, three thousand cavalry were ready, with Pang De's order, the gate suddenly opened.

The soldiers of the Yuan army who were banging on the door saw the gate suddenly open, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then let out a shout, and they were about to enter the camp, but they heard the violent sound of horses' hooves, and Pang De had already led the cavalry out of the camp.

"How daring!" Seeing this, Han Rong was not surprised, he tried his best in the past two days and failed to provoke Zhang Liao out of the barracks, and at this moment, seeing that Zhang Liao finally sent troops, he immediately shouted and led his soldiers and horses to meet Pang De.

"Boom~"

In the violent impact, countless figures were hit by the war horses and flew up, but Han Rong did not change color in the slightest, and indifferently commanded the soldiers to step forward and withstand the impact of the cavalry.

Seeing that the opponent's soldiers and horses were not only not scattered, but under the command of Han Rong, they faintly wanted to surround his soldiers and horses, and immediately roared and withdrew with the cavalry, preparing to fight again.

"The left and right flanks are encircled, the archers of the Chinese army suppress the crossbow arrows of the enemy camp, and the front army charges!" Seeing this, Han Rong sneered, and continued to command the soldiers to compress the enemy's range of activities, so as not to let Pang De's cavalry have a chance to charge, although the cavalry is powerful, but don't think that when you reach the plain, the cavalry will definitely be able to restrain the infantry, Han Rong is still in the period of Emperor Xiaoren, he has already led the troops to fight against the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan and other ethnic groups, and he is familiar with the cavalry tactics, and he knows how to restrain the cavalry.

"Damn!" Pang De clashed several times, but he couldn't use the mobility of the cavalry, but under Han Rong's constant oppression, he was gradually surrounded, and he couldn't help roaring angrily, but to no avail.

"Mingjin!" On the gate, Zhang Liao watched the cavalry led by Pang De being pressed by the opponent step by step and had no living space, his eyes were slightly heavy, and he waved his hand.

"Bell Bell Bell ~"

In the crisp sound of gold, Pang De glanced at Han Rong's direction hatefully, and led his troops back to the camp, Han Rong took advantage of the situation to command the soldiers and horses to attack the Yuanmen, but was shot back by the crossbows that had been prepared on the Yuanmen, Yuan Xi hurriedly commanded the strong archers to step forward and release arrows in the direction of the Yuanmen, Zhang Liao sent the ordinary crossbowmen who had already been prepared to the Yuanmen to shoot at the other party, for a while, the Yuanmen up and down, covered by the rain of arrows covering the sky and the sun, Han Rong saw that there was no more opportunity to take advantage of it, so he had to retreat.

"General, the last general is incompetent, and the three armies are damaged!" Pang De returned to Zhang Liao's side with a look of shame and said bitterly.

"I don't blame you." Zhang Liao looked at Yuan Jun, who was retreating but not chaotic, shook his head and said: "Even if this general goes out in person, he is not necessarily stronger than Ling Ming, this old man is not only superb in martial arts, but also has the ability to turn decay into magic, with him, it is difficult to go down in Youzhou!" ”

Pang De was silent when he heard this, martial arts aside, just talking about leading troops, Han Rong was not an elite, but an ordinary state and county soldier and horse, and he actually restrained his cavalry in the plains with infantry, Pang De has also been a horse for many years, and this situation is the first time it has happened.

"Tomorrow, you and I will go out of the city to drown, and see if we can kill this veteran in front of the battle!" After a while, Zhang Liao looked at Pang De and said in a deep voice.

"Whoa!" Pound nodded, although it was a little shameful, but now, he could only find a way to kill this old man in the battle before the battle.

On the other side, Han Rong returned to the camp, but he was ceremoniously received by Yuan Xi, although he knew that this old man was powerful, but after all, he was old, and the four court pillars of Hebei were all there in the past, and there was no need for a veteran to go out.

"The old general is like a god with soldiers, if I get the help of the general early, how can I lose a large area of territory in Youzhou?" Yuan Xi said with admiration.

Han Rong listened with great joy in his heart, shook his head and said, "It's a pity that Zhang Liao is also a rare general, and he failed to do his best in this battle. ”

"With General Lao here, he will be able to break Zhang Liao one day." Yuan Xi smiled.

Han Rong nodded, looking at Yuan Xi with a very satisfied gaze, among Yuan Shao's three sons, Yuan Xi was the most inconspicuous and the most unfavored, perhaps because of this, Yuan Xi's personality did not have the arrogance of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, coupled with the reputation of the fourth and third princes, it was easier to be recognized by his subordinates.
