Section 24 Heroic and Powerful Fall into Danger [II]
In the "Han Army! Mighty! Under the slogan, the fifty "trap soldiers" did not say a word, maintained an even speed, formed a small conical formation, and pressed over the simple circle formation of the Tianping Army!
Shen Fu, who was born in the county national soldiers, had the green tendons on his forehead exposed. When he was in Chen Guohan's army, he had never seen such a powerful charge.
These enemies in front of them, it seems, the momentum of the charge is not so ferocious. However, listening to the sound of the other party's neat steps, and then looking at the other party's silent approach, Shen Fu only felt that what he saw in front of him was not actually a group of people, but a torrent, a turbulent torrent!
"Yu Baichang! It's up to you! ”
Yu Ban nodded slightly, and stroked the short knife on his waist with his palm. The person who took the lead in the charge in front of him, he naturally recognized. This person's surname is Hou Mingcheng, and he is a veteran tun commander brought by Commander Bao Xin from the Northern Army. It is said that as early as ten years ago, this Hou Chengcheng cultivated the "Zhan Qi", and in Bao Xin's army, he was recognized by all the soldiers as the first person in force!
Ask yourself, Yu Ban, who has seen Hou Cheng's force, thinks that if he fights alone, his current self is not his opponent.
However, this does not mean that Yu Ban cannot defeat this person!
The enemy is approaching. It's not fast, but it's steady.
Fifty steps!
Thirty steps!
Twenty steps!
Ten more steps!
As soon as he stepped into this distance, Hou Cheng's body movements suddenly intensified. The speed he was hiding in front of him, at this moment, was undoubtedly exposed!
For the Tianping sergeant who directly greeted Hou Cheng head-on, at this moment, Hou Cheng was no longer a person, but a leopard, a leopard with elegant movements, but an effective combination of strength and speed!
However, at this moment, the people who moved were far more than Hou Cheng alone.
Twenty crossbow machines were fired at the same time, and the target: the front row of "traps" in front of you!
In the Yellow Turban Army, the crossbow has always been a scarce and powerful weapon.
Due to the complexity of the production process and the high cost, the production of crossbow machines in the Han Dynasty has always been firmly controlled by the central court. Even if you can get the production process of crossbow machines with the ability of Zhang Jiao, a "great sage and good teacher", you can't produce crossbow machines in large quantities, so you can't equip crossbows on a large scale.
In many cases, the long-range weapons of the Yellow Turbans relied mainly on bows and arrows that required a high level of skill from the archers. Compared to the crossbow machine, this substitute far surpasses the bow and arrow in terms of lethality, range, and accuracy. The only advantage of a bow and arrow is that it can be fired quickly.
However, in the face of the Han army, which was fully armored and well-protected, the Yellow Turban Army's chaotic bows and arrows of various colors and insufficient lethality were undoubtedly exposed. There are often Han soldiers who are shot into hedgehogs by the archers of the Yellow Turban Army, and they are still alive and kicking on the battlefield.
Therefore, after several battles, if the Yellow Turban Army is not facing a strong and powerful army with uneven armor, it usually will not take out those poorly made bows and arrows and waste their strength.
In the previous battles, although the Tianping Army has captured many things, the crossbow machine is delicate and easy to break. In the hands of the Tianping Army, there is a lack of craftsmen who can make crossbow machines. As a result, there are only more than 100 crossbow machines that can be used now. Among them, more than half were captured in the night battle of Changshe. These hand-held crossbows, which were not very powerful, were now the main equipment of the cavalry of the Tianping Army.
Such a powerful and rare weapon, of course, must be in the hands of reliable and experienced warriors. Therefore, Shen Fu's subordinates and the soldiers who used strong crossbows were all veterans of the Yellow Turban Army who had experienced many battles. In the hands of these experienced soldiers who can calm down and calmly face the enemy, these twenty crossbow machines have exerted a terrifying power that makes the Han army fearful!
Within ten steps, even the least lethal "two-stone crossbow" is powerful enough to pierce through two layers of leather armor. Therefore, there are 14 of the 20 crossbow arrows that are extremely accurate, and they have tasted the taste of human flesh and blood!
"Whew......"
"Mom......"
"Ah......h
Screams erupted. Ten "trappers" rolled down with a wail, squatting to the ground, struggling to survive in the footsteps of those who followed. However, this is not the whole source of screaming......
As soon as Hou Cheng's right hand was raised, a soldier of the Tianping Army in the front row was slashed by the blade through the front door and fell down screaming. Hou Cheng turned his left hand, and the hook in his hand had already hooked the spear of another Tianping Army soldier, and with a slash on the head, the head of this spearman suddenly flew up!
Including Shen Fu, Hou Cheng, who was shot by four crossbow arrows, was unscathed!
Yu Ban saw it really from the sidelines. Just a moment before the crossbow arrows were shot, Hou Cheng first rolled on the ground and avoided two crossbow arrows. Then, with a quick eye, he slashed a crossbow arrow. However, the last one, the powerful crossbow arrow shot by Shen Fu himself, the speed was amazing, and the distance was so close that Hou Cheng couldn't avoid it!
Can't avoid it, you can block it!
Hook inlay is a weapon with many functions, and one of the most important is that it is used as a shield.
Shen Fu's arrow was fast and accurate, but it was the center of Hou Cheng's hook in the middle. At this distance, the crossbow arrows that can shoot through the five layers of leather armor were inlaid with "Zhanqi" blue light flashed, and after being strengthened, they couldn't penetrate the thin layer of iron on the surface of the hook inlay!
Seeing Hou Cheng enter the front and be reckless among the soldiers, Yu Ban's face was full of ancient wells. He had already seen Hou Cheng's biggest weakness. This is also the biggest reason why Hou Cheng, although he has the force of "Thousand People Break", failed to become a real "Thousand People Break".
Afraid!
With Hou Cheng's skills, it should belong to the martial arts routine that focuses on agility. However, he actually preferred to put on two layers of armor, which greatly limited his strengths.
Moreover, Hou Cheng's moves are mostly safe moves that do not seek merit, but seek no faults. Once the enemy uses a move that may pose a threat to him, Hou Chengcheng will change his move in time to defuse the blow first.
Up to now, Hou Cheng has been fighting in the Tianping Army formation for a while, killing seven or eight soldiers, but there is not even a single hole in the armor. If he can be more fierce, fight to suffer a little injury, and launch an impact with all his strength, I am afraid that the formation of the Tianping Army has been broken by Hou Cheng.
From here, Yu Ban saw Hou Cheng's "strong" and Hou Cheng's "weak"!
Seeing this, Yu Ban no longer waited and was ready to make a move. Because, if you don't make a move, your own formation will be broken by these "trappers"!
"With a halberd!"
Yu Ban turned his head and shouted to the guards beside him. When the two guards heard this, they did not hesitate, and picked up two halberds from the more than ten weapons placed beside them. These two guards were his subordinates in the Han army. The three of them cooperate tacitly and have their own set of means to fight the enemy.
"Attack!"
Yu Ban said, but he didn't make a move immediately, paused slightly, and waited for the halberds of the two guards to swing out before he made a move. He didn't use a halberd, nor did he use a spear that he was good at, but instead used a ring-headed knife that could give full play to its power when he was in close combat!
Hou Cheng found that in front of him, one on the left and one on the right, there were two halberds coming straight to the door, and he sneered in his heart.
- Don't these rabbles know that the design of the hook is designed to effectively restrain the spears and halberds?
One block with the left hand, one twist, this action that Hou Cheng has practiced thousands of times on weekdays, is used perfectly. With a simple movement, the small branches of the two halberds have been successfully captured by the hook in Hou Cheng's hand.
Hou Cheng's body, ripe and flowing, pulled the hook back, and was about to burst into the opponent's arms, and use the big knife in his right hand to disembowel the opponent. However, the oncoming blade clearly reminded Hou Cheng that if he continued to rush forward, it was not someone else who would be disemboweled, but himself!
Hou Cheng changed his move, wanting to use the hook of his left hand to block the blow in front of him. However, with a wave of his arm, he reacted, and two halberds were hung on the hook, and he couldn't swing them freely at all.
Hou Chengyi gritted his teeth, and the knife in his right hand quickly slashed out, faintly carrying the sound of wind and thunder. If the knife hand in front of you doesn't know each other and insists on hurting yourself, you will inevitably be injured by your own counterattack!
However, the knife hand was unmoved, and went down without hesitation!
Hou Cheng was shocked!
The opponent is not frightened, then it is himself who is frightened!
is a good Hou Cheng, at this time when his life is at stake, he actually bursts out with potential that even he didn't expect. But seeing that Hou Cheng broke the hook inlay, he pushed the hook inlay with the help of his left hand, and the ring head knife in his right hand suddenly increased its speed, and the moment before the enemy's short knife slashed into the chest, it was padded on the nail leaf.
This move finally saved Hou Cheng's own life.
However, after observing for a long time and brewing for a long time, how could the knife that was only swung be able to take it like this?
After all, Hou Cheng's current force is only one or two points higher than that of the ban.
On that day, Dian Wei said in his arrogant account that he only spent three or four rounds to catch Yu Ban, but he was actually bragging. Although he fought hard head-on, Yu Ban was very different in force compared to the fierce man Dian Wei, however, with Yu Ban's wisdom, how could he fight hard with Dian Wei?
The real situation is that Yu Ban made full use of the various obstacles in the woods, and with the cooperation of several subordinates, he fought with Dian Wei.
The two sides have been entangled for a while, and they have always been indistinguishable. In the end, Dian Wei relied on his super physical strength to forcibly drag down the physical strength of Yu Ban's subordinates. In order to save all his lives, Yu Banrang Dian Wei promised not to harm himself, so he surrendered willingly.
And the strength of the attack power, even Dian Wei was afraid of Yu Ban, and the blow that he made with all his might seemed to be covered with dark black paint, giving people an unfathomable sense of devouring. slashed on Hou Cheng's knife, and the knife broke; slashed on a double layer of armor, the nail is split; Slash on the thick psoas muscles, and blood splatters on the psoas muscles!
If it weren't for Hou Cheng's timely return to the frame and thick armor, Yu Ban's knife would be enough to cut Hou Cheng off!
Rao is like this, and Hou Cheng has also been seriously injured.
However, he can still move. Even if you move, the tearing sensation of the wound is a little worse.
Moreover, he had to move. If he doesn't move, the enemy's next knife will definitely kill him.
So, he's running wild. Running with rolling and crawling. Run to your side. No matter how embarrassing the action is, being able to escape with your life is a victory!
PS: Character - Hou Cheng.
According to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Hou Cheng is a member of Lu Bu's generals. But where was this person at the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising?
The author gives the following premise:
Hou Cheng originally belonged to the local army of Yanzhou. When Lu Bu invaded Yanzhou and dug out Cao Cao's bottom, he joined the Lu Bu group with Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao's brothers. Therefore, when the Yellow Turban Army rebelled, Hou Cheng could naturally participate in the battle against the Yellow Turban Army as a member of the Yanzhou County National Army.
