193 Zhao Zilong came also
It is said that when Cao Cao led the army to pursue Dong Zhuo all the way to the Mianchi generation, he was stopped by Li Dao's troops.
Xiahou Yuan jumped on the horse with a spear and took Li Dao directly. After the battle was not counted, Guo Yan led an army, killed from the left, and urgently ordered Cao Ren to meet the enemy. The shouting on the right started again, and it was Lu Bu, who was bruised on his face, who led the army to kill him, and hurriedly ordered Xiahoudun to meet the enemy.
Seven days ago, Lu Bu was defeated by Luan Yi, and he was holding back his anger. Now that his strength has recovered, he is looking for someone to vent, and by the way, he will earn some military merits to save some face, and Cao Cao happened to lead his troops to catch up.
So, Lu Bu was overjoyed the moment he saw Xiahoudun slapping his horse and killing, just like seeing a bloody wolf on the grassland, even his molars came out, and he shouted, "It's good!" "Pat the horse and get on.
Leaned over an iron plate bridge to avoid the blade slashed by Xiahoudun, and raised his hand to be a halberd.
The angle of this halberd is extremely tricky, and it does not stab Xiahou Dun's vital point, and he cuts off his right wrist, which can be said to be impossible to prevent!
Thanks to Xiahoudun's rich experience, he leaned over and hid on the side of the horse, so he avoided the past mysteriously. Kicking the ground with both legs, flying up, the big knife is held high above the top, "He ......" Hai Ji {book}{bar} novel Hui Xin ε Jian?br/>
This time, Lu Bu's injury was not completely healed, but in order to make meritorious contributions, he forcibly recommended himself to take the injury into battle. He endured the pain, gritted his teeth and tried his best to block the long knife chopped by Xiahoudun, and raised his leg and kicked Xiahoudun's car. The war horse screamed and staggered to the side.
Xiahoudun was worried about the safety of the car, looked down, and saw that the war horse had blood in its mouth. It's not good to scream. The horses must have been wounded and could not fight for long.
Then he shook a knife, opened Lu Bu, turned around and ran.
Lu Bu led the iron cavalry to cover the killing, and the Cao army was defeated, looking back at Xingyang and leaving.
At the time of the second watch, Cao Cao traveled to the foot of a barren mountain, about the second watch, the full moon was at the head, and the moon was as bright as day. Gathered the remnants of the soldiers, and was about to bury the pot to make rice, but heard the sound of shouting and killing from all sides, it was Xingyang Taishou Xu Rong ambushing the soldiers here.
Cao Cao was horrified and fled. On the way to escape, he was shot in the shoulder by Xu Rong, bleeding everywhere, and he almost lost his back in pain.
He continued to run with a bow and arrows on his shoulder, and just after crossing the hillside, he was ambushed by the enemy soldiers, and was stabbed by a spear on his horse, and fell off his horse and was captured. Fortunately, Cao Hong came to save him from falling into the hands of the enemy.
Cao Hong handed the car to Cao Cao to ride, and led Cao Cao all the way east on foot.
After walking for about two hours, he saw a large river in front of him, and the water was so strong that it blocked the way. It was at this time that the pursuers caught up again.
"Cao thief, where to run!" It turned out to be Lu Bu himself.
Cao Cao and Cao Hong were horrified and were about to forcibly cross the river, but they heard the horses' hooves rumbling on the other side of the river, and the dust was so thick that they rushed out of a group of people and horses.
"Cao Gong don't panic, Changshan Zhao Zilong is here!"
Cao Cao looked intently and saw a cluster of large flags swarming in the dense forest. The blood-red cross flag fluttered in the wind, and the flag at the head was painted with milky white one-horned Pegasus. Cao Cao, who was familiar with the organizational structure of the Cult of the Virgin, immediately recognized it as the Holy Pegasus Banner, the symbol of the Templar camp.
"Zhao Zilong is here!" He shouted excitedly, "Zilong, Cao is here!" Come and save me! ”
The 1500 Holy Cross ironclad knights waded across the river under the leadership of Zhao Yun, and the orders unanimously bypassed Cao Cao and went straight to the pursuers led by Lu Bu.
Far away, Zhao Yun raised the Jiaolong Spitting Pearls Silver Light Spear and shouted, "Our Lady is with us!" ”
The Templars responded in unison, "Ah...... Heaven's Gate! ”
"Draw the bow!"
"Drink ......" 1500 knights shouted loudly as they wound their bows.
"Shoot ......" 150 paces away and release arrows at the same time.
Lu Bu saw thousands of arrows flying into the sky, and then fell sharply towards his own array. Deng Shi was shocked, "How is it possible? ”
At the moment, the Templars of the Church were extremely accurate in their cavalry shooting at such a long distance, and their level was even much better than that of the Iron Cavalry. You must know that the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry has been fighting with the grassland people for a long time, and many of them have the blood of the grassland people, and they can ride horses since they learn to walk, and they are all born knights. And most of the church armies came from the Taishan hills, how could the people who lived here be stronger than the iron horsemen of the state in terms of horse skills and archery?
Lu Bu didn't know that Jinan was indeed located in the hills of Mount Tai, full of mountains, and the people in China had nothing to say about climbing the rock and walking the wall, and they were all good hands. But when it comes to horseback riding, it is indeed inherently inferior to the people of Bingzhou.
But don't forget, Luan Yi implemented a semi-professional and half-recruited military system in the Church of Our Lady, which means that half of the church guards, like the princes of other towns, were temporarily recruited during wartime. The other half were purely professional soldiers, who did not have to work as peasants or worry about their livelihoods, and all their household needs were distributed by the church, and they were paid a lot of money. After being discharged from the army at the age of 40, front-line soldiers can also be assigned to work in the church where their hometown is located, and receive a monthly pension.
In addition, Luan Yi also implemented a system of survival of the fittest within professional soldiers such as the Templar Order and the Templar Battalion. At the end of each year, a centralized assessment of the professional guardians of the church is conducted. Those who ranked in the bottom 100 in the assessment were disqualified as professional soldiers, and they were released to the holy fields for cultivation, and became reserve soldiers, becoming the primary candidates for recruitment. At the same time, at the beginning of the following year, the outstanding ones will be selected from the recruitment crowd to be added to the professional guard sequence.
Through this model, the sense of competition of the professional guards of the church is greatly increased, and the self-growth of each professional guardian is further accelerated.
In this way, they do not have to worry about their livelihoods and can devote all their energy to military training and military operations. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, after years of high-investment vocational training, each of them became good at equestrianism, and their riding and archery skills were naturally a little stronger than the relatively loose organizational system of the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry.
Unfortunately, the only flaw is that the total number of people with high cavalry and archery skills in the church army is far less than that of the state army. Only the meagre 2,000 Templars and alternates could compete with the Templars and Knights, while the rest were not flattering......
Lu Bu did not expect the Templar arrows to be so accurate and seriously ill-prepared.
He made the halberd dance impenetrable and blocked several arrow feathers. But the 800 Bingzhou Iron Cavalry behind him fell into blood mold, and more than 200 people fell in an instant, with heavy damage.
I haven't had time to fight back. Zhao Yun has already been killed, "The three family slaves, take your life!" ”
Lu Bu was furious, slapped his horse to catch up, and the two teams of people and horses watched something on the bank of the river.
"Kill ......" Lu Buping stabbed the halberd.
Zhao Yun shook his spear skillfully, and used the Tai Chi entanglement taught by Luan Yi to bring Fang Tian's painting halberd aside.
Lu Bu suddenly felt that the strength on his arm was like a stone sinking into the sea, his shoulder was frustrated, and the strain left by the fight with Luan Yi intensified again, and there was a heart-rending pain.
"Hiss......" He gasped, and blocked the silver spear stabbed by Zhao Yun with a horizontal halberd, but at the moment when the blades touched, he secretly screamed that it was not good.
Zhao Yun actually made a false move, and the real killing move followed. The silver spear retreated at the touch of a button, and stabbed out again like a silver dragon going out to sea.
Lu Bu backhanded again. "Ding ......" actually blocked the sharp spear head with a slender halberd. The speed and accuracy are breathtaking!
Lu Bu shook his arms, and was about to use the best wheel strike, but he twisted the injury in the process of flipping. After the pain, he subconsciously paused, and it was this pause that created an opportunity for Zhao Yun.
The silver spear flew, and the silver dragon and the tiger swept straight to Lu Bu's temple.
Lu Bu was horrified, and the halberd stood in the way of the silver spear's sweep. Seeing that he was about to block the silver spear, he saw that the silver spear suddenly shrank, and he actually bypassed the halberd and swung it in front of Lu Bu, only a palm away from Lu Bu's eyebrows, and stabbed it violently.
Lu Bu's frightened heart rose to his throat, and he struggled to fall down with the strength of breastfeeding, so as to dodge Zhao Yun's fatal shot. Immediately, the experienced halberd was crossed to his chest and blocked the barrel of the gun that Zhao Yun had chopped down.
"Boom ......"
Lu Buwa spat out a mouthful of blood, rounded his arm and swept out the halberd, swinging Zhao Yun back. With a twist of the reins, he rode his horse and fled.
Zhao Yun took advantage of the situation to cover up.
The number of iron cavalry in Bingzhou was not as large as that of the church guards, and now that the flying general Lu Bu has suffered another defeat, where can he dare to continue to stay and fight. Escorted Lu Bu to flee in the wilderness.
Zhao Yun followed and chased for nearly ten miles and killed countless enemies, and he was about to catch up with Lu Bu, but he saw a group of men and horses flashing out behind the mountain pass, and there were tens of thousands of people. The Chinese army has a big banner with a big "Xu" character written on it. It turned out to be Xu Rong.
Zhao Yun had few soldiers and did not dare to hand it over, and the 1500 Templars roared and turned to leave.
Xu Rong rescued Lu Bu, collected the remnants of Lu Bu, and chased after him.
Zhao Yun fled for his life, picked up Cao Cao on the bank of the big river, and sent him to the war horse.
Jumping on the war horse sent by Zhao Yun, Cao Cao asked Zhao Yun urgently, "Where is Ziqi?" ”
"Gong Cao will find out later!" After that, the horses' hooves rumbled and the dust flew.
Xu Rong led the army to chase all the way, and when he reached the river, he saw that Zhao Yun's army had crossed the river and entered the dense forest.
Xu Rong waved his hand, and the army stopped.
Lu Bu asked angrily: "What will Zhonglang do here, why don't you chase it?" ”
Xu Rong said: "Luan Ziqi is scheming, and he is ambushed in fear of chasing him. ”
Lu Bu was furious, "If you don't chase after you, don't blame me for going to the prime minister to sue you for missing the fighter!" ”
"This ......" When he heard that Lu Bu was going to Dong Zhuo to sue him, Xu Rong hesitated.
"If you don't chase after him, Cao Mengde will escape and ascend to heaven!" Lu Bu was in a hurry, and he was good at seducing, "Now, Cao Mengde has been defeated, and Luan Ziqi fainted and fell to the ground when I was fighting, even if he didn't die, he only had half a life left." At the moment when the integrity of the Luan and Cao families is the weakest, a battle at this time will make an immortal achievement. General Zhonglang, don't miss such a good opportunity! ”
Xu Rong remembered the rumor that Luan Yi fell to the ground, and his doubts suddenly disappeared. With a wave of his big hand, the flag fluttered, "Cross the river, pursue!" ”
More than 20,000 Xiliang troops crossed the river with a splash. Xu Rong and Lu Bu led the vanguard cavalry straight into the forest path, and at the end of their line of sight, the dust and smoke raised by the Templar camp horse team never stopped.
After chasing more than five miles, Xu Rong always felt that something was wrong, he looked into the distance, the dust and smoke of the Templar horse team were as dense as ever, and there were indeed traces of war horses marching on the path. But what is wrong with him that he can't tell it...... He hesitated to look at the ground again, and suddenly it dawned on him.
"Suffered!"
