In the blink of an eye, the battle to Lily, the more the horse surpassed the fight, the more it was easy, as if there was inexhaustible strength, and a trace of cowardice caused by the initial fight also disappeared without a trace. At the same time, he also touched Guan Yu's martial arts path, Guan Yu is worthy of being the martial saint of later generations, and the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique he learned has almost no flaws, if he wants to win, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky, maybe only Lu Bu can be slightly better. And Guan Yu attaches great importance to the "potential", and he has to secretly accumulate strength before every fight, and as soon as he makes a move, he will strike a thunderous blow, leaving no effort unturned, even opponents of the same level will be unable to stop his round of onslaught, so Guan Yu has the strength to kill famous generals.

But if you can resist the momentum of Guan Yu's accumulation, the possibility of defeat will be greatly reduced, no wonder many first-class generals in history can fight with Guan Yu dozens of undefeated, dare to love Guan Yu is the ancestor of Cheng Biting Jin, the first three knives are powerful, and the pressure will be greatly reduced.

The battle between the two was in a stalemate, and it was not easy to distinguish victory or defeat for a while, while Wen Ping and Gao Shun were directing their soldiers to install the Xiangyang cannon. This time, Ma Chao brought a total of 150 large Xiangyang cannons, vowing to break through Xiaopeicheng in one fell swoop and completely eradicate the scourge of Liu Bei.

Liu Bei at the head of the city saw that Guan Yu could not defeat Ma Chao, and most of the Xiangyang cannon was installed, and he was anxious. Said to Tai Shi Ci beside him: "Ma Chao is unkind, extremely deceitful, once he is allowed to set up the Xiangyang cannon, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to resist, and please help me!" ”

Tai Shici was a little embarrassed, from the bottom of his heart, he really didn't want to be an enemy of Ma Chao, after all, Ma Chao won the hearts of the people in the north, and he once sent someone to take care of his mother. And he was in Xiaopei, but he was only a guest, that is, he stayed in Xiaopei as a guest, and did not take refuge in Liu Bei. But these times Liu Bei is very respectful to him, it can be said that there is a small banquet in three days, and a big banquet in five days, and the three brothers take turns to accompany him to drink and discuss major events in the world, which has a great sense of sympathy.

Not only that, Liu Bei also asked Tai Shi Ci to represent Kong Rong as the matchmaker for his marriage to Gan Qian, and because of this, Tai Shi Ci delayed again and again, and rushed back to Liu Qian to continue to work after the two got married. At this moment, I heard that Liu Bei had a request for him, and after a little hesitation, he was finally embarrassed to see death and not save him, and hugged his fists and said: "Thanks to Xuande Gong's hospitality, but if you need it, dare not go to the soup!" ”

Liu Bei pointed at Ma Chao and said: "This thief bullied the young monarch, controlled the government, robbed the mother of the country, bullied others, and now attacked my city and killed my siblings, I can't wait to drink his blood and eat his flesh, and I hope that General Taishi can help me kill this thief for the sake of righteousness!" Avenge my third brother! After that, his face was full of tears, and he actually "plopped!" He bowed down and kowtowed.

Tai Shi Ci hurriedly got out of the way, knelt down and saluted, and said urgently: "Xuande Gong, why is this?" To put it bluntly, you must not do this great gift! I have always been good friends with Yide, Ma Chao's move is indeed a bit excessive, if the public has a plan to retreat Ma Chao, I am willing to follow the work of dogs and horses! ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed in his heart, but on the surface, he cried bitterly, pointing to the rows of Xiangyang cannons outside the city and said: "Ma Chao's thief used this thing to break through the Tiger Prison Pass guarded by 10,000 people, Xiao Pei is just an ordinary city, how can it be compared with the Tiger Prison Pass?" The reason why Ma Chao dared to attack Xiaopei was because of this thing! ”

Tai Shi Ci looked at it carefully, nodded and said: "I have also heard a little about what Xuande Gong said, this trebuchet is assembled from multiple parts, the structure is complex, and it is not easy to make, and it is also a strange thing in the world!" ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Exactly!" I want to ask General Taishi to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to fight and destroy all these trebuchets, and Ma Chao is not afraid! As long as you stick to Xiao Pei, when Yuan Shao's army arrives, Ma Chao will retreat! It would be a miracle to be able to move a complete trebuchet to the city! ”

Tai Shi Ci was a little hesitant when he heard this, although there were only more than 20,000 people in Ma Chao's troops outside the city, not to mention that the troops were well-equipped, and they were all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and they were by no means comparable to the rabble under Liu Bei's command, even if they were twice as much, they had little chance of winning. Tai Shici fought with Yuan Shao under Liu Xuan, and he couldn't be clearer about the gap between miscellaneous soldiers and elite soldiers.

Not only that, but once he fights, he will inevitably fall into an unrighteous name. Ma Chao didn't say anything about others for the time being, but he was still quite kind to him. After pondering for a long time, Tai Shi Ci finally couldn't block Liu Bei's pleading eyes, and hugged his fists and said, "Ci is willing to lead the army to fight!" But there is one condition, I hope that Xuande Gong can agree! ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed and said urgently: "With Ziyi helping you, why worry about Ma Chao not retreating?" What conditions does Ziyi have, just say it bluntly! ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "Ma Chao is quite concerned about the old mother at home, and I also ask Xuan Degong not to call him the identity of the general!" In addition, no matter whether I win or lose, afterwards, I also ask the Duke of Xuande to allow me to rush back to Guangling and return to the lord's account! ”

Liu Bei said: "Ziyi is really a righteous person!" There is no reason to be unacceptable! ”

After the two discussed, Liu Bei personally dispatched troops, selected 20,000 soldiers and horses to be led by Tai Shici, and took advantage of the inextricable time when Ma Chao and Guan Yu were inseparable, 20,000 infantry troops rushed out and rushed straight to the front of the two armies. The 20,000 soldiers and horses were obviously a notch stronger than the previous 20,000 soldiers, at least everyone had helmets, everyone had light leather armor, and the weapons in their hands were mainly simple knives, and they were also equipped with hardwood shields. The number of archers was as high as 2,000.

Ma Chao has been fighting Guan Yu for a long time, and he also has the intention of using this precious time to install the Xiangyang cannon, and at this moment, seeing that Liu Bei sent a large group of elite people, he knew that Liu Bei was going to fight hard. At the moment, he didn't love fighting, he shook his halberd, turned around and retreated.

Guan Yu didn't dare to pursue rashly, turned around and shouted: "Ma Chao has been killed and retreated, the whole army will attack to avenge the three generals!" ”

"Revenge!"

"Revenge!"

The 40,000-strong army immediately marched forward slowly under the leadership of Guan Yu and Tai Shici, with no confusion in formation and a moderate command.

Ma Chao secretly sneered, waved his halberd and shouted: "Where is Gao Shun!" ”

"Mo will be!"

Ma Chao said loudly: "Order you to lead the trapped camp to attack, directly smash the middle army of the thief army, and break up its formation!" ”

"The last general commands!" After Gao Shun finished speaking, he took a few steps forward, raised his spear and shouted: "I am in the trap!" I'm invincible! Sortie! ”

"I'm in the trap! I'm invincible! ”

"I'm in the trap! I'm invincible! ”

With a neat roar, the shield soldiers at the forefront suddenly separated, and a pair of heavy infantry marched out in a neat formation, bringing with them the sound of metal clashing, which numbered two thousand. This infantry is the most elite infantry army under Ma Chao, most of them are the Bingzhou Army and the Xiliang Army, all of which are trained by the best people in a hundred.

Because the prototype of this team is Gao Shun's trap camp, it is called the trap camp. Just looking at the equipment of this infantry army can scare a group of people, the so-called heavy armored infantry army, as the name suggests, are all wearing heavy armor. In order to build this invincible lion, Ma Chao can be said to have invested blood, and the financial and material resources invested are far better than those of ordinary armies.

First of all, these heavy armors are not fish scale kai and chain mail, but real cuirass. The chest and abdomen are made of a half-minute thick steel shell, which is not afraid of ordinary knives and spears, and the whole body is protected by armor except for the fingers and soles of the feet, even the joints are no exception. This set of armor weighs 30 kilograms, and the whole body armor of the West is the same, when it is not worn, it is a human figure there, and after someone wears it, it becomes a mobile iron tower, and the defense is extremely **.

But this kind of armor is extremely difficult to build, not to mention the time and effort, not to mention the materials, with Ma Chao's conditions, it is only two thousand sets to create. And there are great limitations, it is not that the strong people can't bear the weight of the armor at all, so it can be said that it is specially prepared for Gao Shun's trapping camp.

When the two thousand trapped camp came out, a sigh immediately sounded in the enemy camp on the opposite side, they had lived for so long, and they had never seen such an infantry army. People stand still and let you cut it, maybe you have to cut it several times to kill one person, if two thousand people form a formation, the destructive power is even more terrifying, it is simply a body of steel.

And Ma Chao's preparations obviously did not stop there, and as soon as the trapping camp attacked, he shouted again: "Wen Ping, where is Chen?" ”

"Mo will be!"

Ma Chao shouted: "Order the two of you to each lead 5,000 cavalry to storm the two wings, and you must not care about each other, and snipe the archers behind the enemy camp with bows and arrows!" ”

"Order!" The two had been preparing for a long time, and with the order of the commander, they each led a pair of cavalry to charge towards the two wings.

Ma Chao also wanted to test the combat strength of this team today, and it was enough for 10,000 cavalry and 2,000 rabble to deal with Liu Bei. At the moment, he shouted again: "The surname Cao organized the archers to defend the formation, and when the thief army approached, they shot arrows randomly!" ”

"Order!"

"I am in the trap, I am invincible!" Two thousand trapped in one hand with a sharp horse chopping knife in one hand, and a steel shield full of spikes in the other, the defense is **, and the attack power is definitely not bad.

But the first to engage the thieves was Chen Zhi and Wen Ping's cavalry team. In hand-to-hand combat, the cavalry's first task is to break up the enemy's formation by virtue of the superiority of the horse's charge. Although the 10,000 cavalry is not a heavy armored cavalry, the well-equipped equipment is not comparable to Liu Bei's miscellaneous army.

Wen Ping and Chen Zhi divided the 5,000 cavalry into five squads, led by their respective captains, and 1,000 people scattered to launch a charge. Once an infantry is within this range, the chances of survival are extremely slim, because you can dodge the attack of the previous cavalry, and someone will immediately follow, and you don't know which direction the next attack will come from. Wrapping thousands of people with thousands of horses is exactly like this, as long as you don't fall, you have to face the impact of 5,000 people at any time.

This famous tactic of Genghis Khan in later generations really worked wonders, and the 5,000-strong cavalry of the two did not charge at the same time, but rushed in the same direction like 10,000 people running a marathon. The weapons of these cavalry are all swords, and when they rush into the enemy's army, they will slash left and right, and if they kill one, they will be counted as one, and those who do not cut will be mended by the people behind them, so they can just rush forward on their horses.

Liu Bei's Yellow Turban Army was all incorporated by ordinary people, where did they pass through such a formation? Before the cavalry could get closer, a few fell to the ground and pretended to be dead. It's a matter of life and death, who is willing to die for Liu Bei? (To be continued.) )
