Chapter 153: Fire Tide

Die!

There are only people who do not want to live, and there are no people who do not fear death. Ma Hong had forgotten when he had heard this sentence, not in this world anyway, but at this moment, he found that he was wrong. He now finally understands why Zhang Luneng has been fighting Liu Zhang for many years with the land of a county, because of faith.

It was hot, and it was noon, when Zhang Lu's army charged.

Three thousand militiamen, the combat effectiveness should have been low, they rushed into battle, there was no order, there was no general to bring, if it was a general, Yun Jin was not counted.

Zhao Yun organized the infantry, the shield soldiers blocked the front, the spearmen were prepared, and the archers on both wings were shot. Wei Yan led hundreds of people to form a moving knife wall with a knife cart to block the front of the catapult.

I don't understand!

Zhao Yun didn't understand, and Wei Yan didn't understand either! Why?

They are not soldiers, to be precise, people, but their fighting spirit is so strong! These militiamen knew that they would be killed, but they rushed forward without reciprocation, they just rushed up with short knives and cloth clothes, and they were easily blocked by the shield soldiers. The spear pierced their chests, but there was no trace of pain in their eyes, as if they didn't feel pain at all.

Zhao Yun led his troops to block, and the bright silver spear in his hand was inserted and stabbed, and each shot could stab one person, but he clearly saw the reaction of those militiamen after being stabbed by his spear, if it was not for immediate death, it seemed that he didn't feel pain at all and continued to swing the short knife. It was as if they were not people, but a bunch of walking dead.

Suddenly, the group of walking corpse-like militiamen ignited blue-green flames, and the faces of the walking corpses were still expressionless and rushed towards the Jingzhou shield soldiers. The Jingzhou shield soldiers were stunned for a while, and were stunned by this person who was suddenly wrapped in blue-green flames, no matter what era it was, you would be afraid to see hundreds of people with blue-green flames rushing towards you.

Fear is in human nature!

At this time, not only the soldiers were shocked, but even Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and just when he was stunned, the shield soldiers dispersed. The enemy soldiers rushed towards the trebuchet, and on the way to the impact, the Jingzhou army continued to disperse, and they did not dare to stop this group of flame-burning militia.

Once morale dissipates, the next thing is a thousand miles away. The soldiers must have thought that this must be Zhang Lu's demon technique, and it was all messed up for a while. Yun Jin led the elite of ghost pawns to rush towards the trebuchet, and Zhao Yun blocked Yun Jin with a gun.

More than a dozen ghost pawns all attacked Zhao Yun for a while, the chains and iron hooks in their hands all beckoned to Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun waved the bright silver spear to kill the five ghost pawns, but the bright silver spear was entangled. Seeing the situation, Yun Jin stabbed at Zhao Yun with a spear. Seeing this quick stabbing shot, Zhao Yun abandoned the gun, grabbed Yun Jin's gun with his right hand, and rushed forward with his body. Yun Jin only saw the tip of his gun scratch on Zhao Yun's hand, and then Zhao Yun's right hand grabbed his gun, his body rotated ninety degrees, relying on his back to resist his gun, and then holding his gun with both hands, leaning on his back as the fulcrum, he launched the power of his whole body to break the gun, only to hear a snap, the gun broke! Then Zhao Yun held the short spear and stabbed Yun Jin's throat.

What a speed!

Yun Jin is down!

After Zhao Yun held the broken spear and killed three ghost pawns in a row, he hooked the bright silver spear with his foot and continued to fight.

On the other side, dozens of ghostly pawns rushed towards the trebuchet amid the militia with flames burning all over their bodies. It was a wave of fire, releasing the smell of burnt flesh and blood, and some militiamen rushed halfway through the road and burned their lives, and those who were alive continued to rush forward.

"Humph! White phosphorus? Ma Hong wiped the sweat from his head and continued: "Faith alone will definitely not be able to endure this pain, I'm afraid I have taken some kind of potion!" ”

Wei Yan held back the enemy with a wall of swords, and Gan Ning commanded the soldiers to carry the catapult backwards. Huang Zhong also led his troops into battle, but his soldiers stopped when they saw this scene and were unwilling to come forward to help.

Wei Yan carried the enemy soldiers with the sword wall, and the enemy soldiers went forward and spread on the blades of the knife cart one after another, there were more and more people, and the knife cart soldiers could not push the knife cart, and the enemy soldiers stepped on the corpses of their companions, hugged the knife cart soldiers tightly, and used their bodies as meat shields. The demons rushed to the trebuchet with the corpse and poured the oil on the trebuchet, causing the flames to rise.

"Brethren! Rush! ”

Ma Chao and Pang De of the left flank infantry formation rushed towards the tide of fire with Xiliang pikemen!

Huang Zhong, the right-wing infantry formation, also shouted: "Brothers! Rush! ”

But his men were not willing to rush forward! Huang Zhong was anxious to jump up, which was in stark contrast to Ma Chao's team, and Huang Zhong had no choice but to rush forward with dozens of soldiers.

"Bastard! Why didn't Huang Zhong's soldiers rush! ”

Liu Qi scolded later.

"Strategist, do you want me to bring a unit to the rescue?"

Liu Bei said.

"Xiliang's soldiers, keep going forward, and the enemy army will be defeated soon."

Ma Hong said.

The war continued, and the enemy soldiers were not regular troops, but only temporary militia, although Zhang Lu used Fu Shui to stimulate their potential, and attacked by self-immolation. Visually, it brought a lot of impact to the Jingzhou army, but this was indeed a way of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 3,000 themselves. More and more of the enemy troops who rushed towards them fell to the ground, a small part was killed, a large part was burned, and some were surrounded by shield soldiers, waiting for death in the military formation.

In this battle, the Jingzhou army lost less than 900 soldiers, and the Xiliang soldiers lost less than 50 people, although the enemy soldiers burned 12 Jingzhou army trebuchets in a suicidal way, and the enemy army was completely annihilated.

Yang Ren and Yang Ang originally wanted to take advantage of this turmoil to send troops to attack the Jingzhou army, but Xu Shu saw that Liu Qi's main force was still and Ma Chao's Xiliang soldiers were extremely brave, so he persuaded Yang Ren and Yang Ang to stop sending troops.

Is this battle won or lost?

Ma Hong can't say it, if you analyze it by numbers, it's earned, but Zhang Lu, a militia like this in Hanzhong City, is afraid that tomorrow he will be able to form a team of 10,000 people, with a sickle or a wooden stick, and he doesn't even need armor. In this head-to-head confrontation, the trebuchet lost twelve units, Ma Hong didn't care, what he really cared about was the morale of the Jingzhou army, and the originally strong morale was probably burned out by this fire. Ma Hong knew that this was Xu Shu's intention, and Xu Shu wanted to use fire to extinguish the morale of the Jingzhou army.

After this battle, Huang Zhong no longer took the initiative to ask for battle, not to mention the Xiliang soldiers, even compared to Gan Ning's soldiers, it was a joke, and he actually stopped.

After the war, Xu Shu invited Ma Hong to meet before the battle.

I haven't seen him for a few years, Xu Shu seems to have suffered a little, and he still looks so honest and inconspicuous.

"Senior Brother Xu Shu, I think I should still call you Senior Brother. I want to ask you a question? Ma Hong and Xu Shu stood across two trenches, and Ma Hong shouted loudly.

"I already know the question you want to ask, can you see if what I wrote is correct?"

Xu Shu asked the soldier to take out a brush, write a few words on the cloth, hand it to Yang Ren on the side and look at it, and then bent the bow and shot at Ma Hong.

Gan Ning and Li Mo were guarding Ma Hong's side, Gan Ning saw the arrow shooting straight towards Ma Hong, reached out and grabbed the feather arrow, then took off the cloth strip, handed it to Ma Hong and said, "You senior brother, your arm strength is okay!" It was possible to shoot an arrow so far. ”

"Not only is his arm strength good, but he also communicates with me, and he doesn't forget to let Yang Ren take a look! What a prudence! Ma Hong snorted.

Ma Hong spread out the strip of cloth and saw that there were words written on it: Why are you blocking your way? From the moment I drew my sword against you, we have been enemies for life. If I win this war, it will prove that I am better than you, and the teacher's choice is wrong.

"Get pen and ink!"

After reading it, Ma Hong threw the strip of cloth in the trench.

What is written above? Ma Hong is reluctant to let others see it, and there is no need for others to see it, because he knows that Liu Qi has absolute trust in him.

Ma Hong hastily wrote a few words, then tied the strip of cloth to the feather arrow and handed it to Gan Ning. Gan Ning took the bow from his back and said, "Do you want me to shoot your senior brother with an arrow!" ”

"Can it be done?" Ma Hong asked.

"You can give it a try."

Gan Ning bent his bow and arrows, pulled the full string and shot towards Xu Shu, Xu Shu looked at the galloping feather arrows and did not move. Yang Ren on the side raised a wooden shield to block the feather arrow, and the arrow shot at the wooden shield, and the tip of the arrow penetrated the wooden shield.

Yang Ren looked at the arrow, then looked at Gan Ning on the opposite side and sighed: "Good archery!" ”

Xu Shu took off the strip of cloth, then looked at the words written by Ma Hong on the strip, and laughed heartily: "Senior brother, I'll wait for you to break my formation!" ”

Ma Hong wrote in the letter: Do you want to make a name for yourself with me as an enemy? I want you to die in Hanzhong!
