Chapter 42: The Great War Begins

The first soft rays of sunlight in the morning shine on the city of Xinfeng County, the winter cold has gradually subsided, but the wind of the call sign has never stopped raging, for the residents of this city with tenacious roots rooted in the wasteland, the gentle and majestic prefectural order is the object of their incomparable support...... Once. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Bloody human heads hung in the most prominent position above the city gates, swaying in the wind, as if satirizing the former allies outside the city walls.

Outside Xinfeng County, Wei Yan looked at the human head hanging above the city gate with an ugly face, that was his subordinate, and also his henchman, when Lu Bu's order was conveyed, he immediately sent his henchman to contact Zhang Ji, even if he couldn't talk, Wei Yan never thought that the other party would directly cut off the heads of his own people like this, and hung it on the city wall in such a humiliating way to demonstrate.

Provocation?

Wei stretched out his tongue and licked his somewhat dry lips, the two armies fought without slashing, and now, the other party finally did this kind of thing without leaving the slightest room in a weak situation, why?

In addition to being angry, Wei Yan couldn't help muttering a little in his heart, he is not the kind of general who will be carried away by anger, such an approach can only show that the other party has enough confidence!

Wei Yan believed that although he only brought 1,200 soldiers now, with the morale of the defenders of Xinfeng County and the number of sparse cheers, it would never be possible to survive an attack, and Wei Yan was even sure that the battle damage would be controlled within double digits.

"The defenders of the city listen, Zhang is not benevolent, he killed my envoy for no reason, insulted the prestige of our army, immediately open the city gate and hand over Zhang Ji, otherwise, when the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will not be left!" Wei Yan showed a hideous look on his face, no matter what confidence he had, this city, Lao Tzu is going to decide!

"Chickens and dogs don't stay!"

"Chickens and dogs don't stay!"

Twelve hundred soldiers screamed at the same time, and the roar of thunder seemed to shatter the heavens and the earth, and the pervasive killing machine began to spread, and a ferocious momentum made the defenders change their voices.

Of course, the chicken dog is not left behind is just a slogan, with Lu Bu's current thirst for population, Wei Yan believes that if he really dares to do that, Lu Bu will definitely let him raise his head to see him, but it does not prevent this slogan from being shouted, at least looking at the defenders in the city who involuntarily retreat, this effect is good.

On the city wall, Zhang Ji swallowed his saliva, he didn't expect Lu Bu's soldiers and horses to come so quickly, although there were not many, but with Xinfeng's defenders, it was definitely not enough.

"Big ...... Adult, open ...... Open the door, or we'll be killed!" Just when Zhang Ji was secretly anxious in his heart, the county lieutenant beside him hesitated.

"Open the door?" Zhang Ji flashed a cold glint in his eyes, suddenly drew his sword, stabbed a sword into the opponent's chest, and pushed away the lifeless corpse in the other party's stunned gaze.

Although it is a scribe, but the scribe sword of this era is not used as an ornament, among the six arts of the gentleman, but there is clearly a riding and archery skill, although there is no way to compare with those generals who charge into battle, but by surprise, it is no problem to kill a county lieutenant who has no preparation and little ability, Zhang both started in Yongliang and experienced war, naturally not a weak scholar can be compared.

A sword killed the county lieutenant who wanted to surrender, Zhang Ji looked at the soldiers around him, and shouted: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while, this person is Lu Bu's minions, is ****, everyone gets it, the imperial court has sent reinforcements, and it is coming, and now is the time for you to use your life......"

Shout~

A sharp arrow broke through the air, swept past Zhang Ji's cheek, and nailed it to the city tower behind Zhang Ji with a buzzing sound.

The hot feeling came from his cheeks, Zhang Ji touched it, started ****, and his eyes were scarlet, if the arrow cluster was half a point away, Zhang Ji was afraid that he was already a corpse at this moment, his face suddenly became pale, and he subconsciously took two steps back, and drained the trace of morale that had just been agitated.

"Tsk~" Wei Yan put away his bow and arrows, although he is also skilled in bowing and horses, but after all, he is not a marksman like Lu Bu, if there is no fierce west wind, he is still sure to shoot the unsuspecting Zhang Ji, now, the fierce wind has had a great impact on the trajectory of his arrow cluster, and he missed the perfect opportunity to shoot Zhang Ji.

"Prepare for the siege!" Wei Yan snorted coldly, although he failed to shoot Zhang Ji, he successfully lowered the opponent's morale to the freezing point, and with a wave of his hand, Wei Yan had lost the patience to continue the ink.

"Sigh Rule~"

The war horse that Wei Yan was sitting on suddenly became frenzied, and a tremor came from the ground, and this vibration did not come from the city, but ......

As soon as his complexion changed, Wei Yan suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction where the vibration came from, his eyes shrank suddenly.

At the end of the line of sight, a black line was constantly wriggling, thickening, and rolling towards this direction like a torrent.

Cavalry! No less than a thousand cavalry appeared in the field of vision, and in the distance, Wei Yan could already see the Caozi banner that was unfurled.

His heart sank, he didn't expect Cao Jun to appear here, he finally knew why Zhang Ji had such courage and confidence, this cavalry was his confidence, maybe there were more behind it!

"According to the horse formation!" Wei Yan had a calm face and shouted, maybe today, this army will explain here, but he can't escape, in the open plain, the infantry meets the cavalry, only by lining up in a dense formation and fighting to the death, can there be a glimmer of life, escape and avoid the battle, there is only a dead end, two legs can never run four legs, that will only defeat faster.

"Pedal Pedal ~"

In the sound of hurried footsteps, the spearmen quickly lined up in the front row, the cold long hair gathered into a dead forest, the archers were lined up in the center of the array, drawing bows and arrows, Wei Yan raised his right hand high, although in this way, the side was exposed to the defenders in Xinfeng County, once the defenders came out to attack at this time, it would inevitably be really chaotic, but he had no choice, the equal number of infantry faced the cavalry in the field, if you still had to guard against attacks from the flank, it was no different from looking for death, but those defenders who had been frightened, There may not be the courage to rush out at this time.

……

"Kill!"

Cao Peng raised his broadsword high, and a thousand iron horsemen followed him, and the huge cavalry formation was like waves from the sea, wrapped in the momentum of destroying everything, and rushed towards the small formation in front of him.

The speed of the other party's formation change made Cao Peng slightly surprised, but soon, it ignited the fire in his chest, there are no weak soldiers under the strong general, it is worthy of Lu Bu's army, a little-known general, has this kind of ability, as the general of the Cao army, how can he weaken the momentum!

"Kill!" Behind him, a thousand Cao Junjian'er responded violently, and the speed was actually a little faster.

"Steady!" The suffocating momentum that came to his face made the faces of many soldiers turn pale, Wei Yan let out a deep sigh, and watched Cao Jun almost in a moment, he had rushed into the range of a hundred steps, and his raised right hand slashed down fiercely!

"Xiu Xiu Xiu~" The cluster of arrows that broke through the air fell fiercely in the cavalry formation, and more than a dozen unlucky knights were planted with arrows, and they were quickly trampled by the iron cavalry that followed.

The death of his companions did not make people fearful, but instead stimulated the anger in the chests of these cavalrymen, and they even more frantically urged the war horses to rush towards the dense formation of the opponent.

"Puff puff~" The cavalry formation like a torrent slammed into the cold horse formation, accompanied by countless blood flowers, a huge impact, but dozens of soldiers were knocked into the air, and the sound of bones shattering converged on the battlefield into the beginning of a symphony of death, and the tight formation was rushed away, and at the same time, the impact of the cavalry was finally completely suppressed after paying nearly five hundred casualties.

"Kill~" Wei Yan raised his broadsword, raised his head to the sky and let out a violent roar, the cavalry that had lost its impact was even inferior to the infantry.

"Roar~" Cao Peng raised his sword and waved it horizontally, wanting to take his own warriors and withdraw from the other party's entanglement, Wei Yan's thin army would never be able to meet a cavalry charge again, but Wei Yan knew this truth better, commanding the soldiers to bite these damn Cao Jun soldiers to death, and despicably ordered the soldiers to kill the opponent's horse first, and the angry Cao Peng roared.

The smell of blood continued to permeate the air, even on the city wall dozens of zhang away, you could smell the pungent smell, just looking at the fierce collision scene, all made the defenders of the city sway, although Zhang Ji wanted to send troops to help Cao Peng, but looking at the defenders who had even fallen to the ground, in the end he could only reluctantly give up this plan.

The killing continued, as more and more warriors died in the fight, the two generals finally met at this moment, the cold blades collided with dazzling sparks, and the violent countershock force acted on their respective war horses, and the overwhelmed war horses let out a neighing and screamed backwards.

"I am Chen Liucao Peng, and the thief will be known by name!" With the remnants of the cavalry, he finally fought out of the battle group, but looking at the less than fifty cavalry left by his side and the more than three hundred infantry who lost their horses, Cao Peng really didn't expect that there would be such a strong general under Lu Bu, panting, and pointed his war knife at Wei Yan, who was also embarrassed and had less than two hundred people left around him, and said loudly.

"Yiyang Wei Yan!" Wei Yan dragged the big knife upside down on the ground, his eyes showing excitement, this was the first time he had reported himself on such a regular battlefield, and it was difficult to hide the excitement in his heart.

"It's rare to have a good ability, but why is a thief? If you surrender at this time, I will recommend you to the prime minister, and you will be promoted to the rank of knight! Cao Peng looked at Wei Yan and said loudly.

"Haha, Cao thief with the Son of Heaven and the princes, is the real ****, my lord is in the north according to the Huns, in addition to the ****, how did he become a ****, I want to say, it is better for you to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, or you can intercede with the lord for you!" Wei Yan sneered and said loudly.

"Bastard, do you dare to fight me!?" Cao Peng was furious when he heard this, shouted angrily, and slapped his horse to kill Wei Yan.

"Why don't you dare!" Wei Yan took the reins of his horse and faced Cao Peng, but the two generals met each other at this time, and started a killing battle again.
