Chapter 47: Sleepless Nights! (f)
[The guy...... Crazy? ]
It wasn't just the withered sheep who thought so, all the Taiping soldiers on the east side street, including Wu Heng, all looked at Liao Li with horror and killed them with only about twenty guards.
"Capture the thief and capture the king first...... Seeing that the battle situation was not good, he wanted to recover the disadvantage by capturing and killing the enemy commander, and such a ridiculous tactic was not the consistent trick of the Jizhou army? ”
After a sarcastic remark, Wu Heng raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and then pointed his finger at Liao Li, who was killing him.
The general next to him understood, and immediately ordered the nearby crossbowmen to aim the crossbow at Liao Li, and then ordered to pull the trigger.
"Whoosh!"
The crossbowmen of the Taiping Army beside Wu Heng fired a volley of crossbow arrows, even if it was a fierce general like Liao Li, he had to be forced to stop the charge, protect himself with the sword in his hand, and chop down one arrow after another.
Probably because the arrows were too dense, Liao Li seemed to be in a hurry.
"Interesting, come here to die yourself?"
Wu Heng secretly sneered and ridiculed in his heart.
Perhaps in his opinion, such a reckless and impulsive act as Liao Li is simply self-defeating and extremely stupid. If all the generals of the Zhou army were as reckless as Liao Li, let alone seventy or eighty thousand Zhou troops, even if the number of troops was doubled, Wu Heng thought that he would have a chance of winning.
However, this thought Wu Heng only lasted for a few breaths, because he was shocked to find that Liao Li's movements in the distance seemed to be a little hurried, but his expression was not panicked at all. What's more, the soldiers of his Taiping army also shot hundreds of arrows at Liao Li and his party, but none of them injured Liao Li.
[This guy ......]
Wu Heng frowned slightly, spread his right hand flat, lowered his voice and said to the left and right, "Take the strong bow and give it to me!" ”
"Yes!" The guards on the left and right responded when they heard this. took off the bow and crossbow on his back, and handed it to Wu Heng with the arrows.
Wu Heng took the bow and arrows, took the arrows and drew the bow, and actually pulled the two-stone bow for a full moon, aiming solemnly with his eyes.
Immediately, he was in the blink of an eye in Liao Li. Loosen the bowstring.
"Whoosh!"
The two-stone bow was so powerful that the arrow flew towards Liao Li like lightning. At that time, Liao Li seemed to pay more attention to the arrows shot from both sides, and did not notice the bow and arrow shot by Wu Heng. So much so that when the bow and arrow flew to a position only about a foot away from Liao Li's door, Liao Li still didn't react at all.
[Got it!] ]
The bow in his hand hung lightly, and the corners of Wu Heng's mouth inadvertently showed a somewhat triumphant smile. However, after a breath, the smile on his face froze.
Because he was shocked to see that when the bow and arrow were about to hit Liao Limian's door, Liao Li was still unhurried. With his eyes closed, the crossbow grazed his earlobe and flew farther away.
He, just slightly sideways, avoided the bow and arrow shot by Wu Heng.
After avoiding it, Liao Li opened his eyes again, turned his head and glanced at Wu Heng, the faint smile in his eyes. made Wu Heng's heart sink slightly.
[This guy...... It's a deliberate provocation! ]
Wu Heng's heart fell to a low point in an instant, and he realized it. Maybe Liao Li had already noticed his small movements, but he didn't say it in advance, and deliberately pretended not to be aware of it, only at the last moment, he avoided the bow and arrow from the last moment, so as to provoke and mock him Wu Heng. As if to say. He didn't take Wu Heng seriously at all.
"Good guy......" Wu Heng gritted his teeth and cursed, even if he was as scheming as he was, this time he couldn't help but be provoked by Liao's deliberate provocation, spread his right hand evenly, and said in a low voice. Arrow! ”
Where would the left and right guards not be able to see that Wu Heng's heart was furious at this moment, and he didn't dare to slack off at all, so he immediately took out an arrow and handed it to Wu Heng.
After taking the arrow, Wu Heng once again pulled the strong bow into a full moon, and after shooting the arrow, he shouted in a deep voice, "Arrow! ”
"Whoosh!"
Three arrows in a row, the left and right guards handed Wu Heng three arrows in a row, and Wu Heng also shot three arrows in a row, one arrow was faster than the other.
And Liao Li obviously noticed the threat from the front, but he was still not in a hurry, and when the arrows flew in front of him, he raised his gun and waved it a few times, intending to shoot down or knock the three arrows away.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and I saw that the three arrows shot by Wu Heng, the fastest tail arrow hit the middle arrow, and the middle arrow hit the front arrow, so that these three arrows completely changed the direction of hit.
It is not difficult to see from this that Wu Heng's attainments in archery are indeed extraordinary, and it is no wonder that he was able to sit on an equal footing with Liang Qiuhao, the third commander of the Taiping Army.
In the face of such magic arrows, Rao is Liao Li was also bluffed, and the spear in his hand was repeatedly blocked, and two of the arrows were narrowly knocked down.
It's a pity that there are three arrows, and the last arrow flew straight towards Liao Li's face door, only a few feet away from the face door, and at this time, Liao Li had no time to raise his sword to resist, at most he could only subconsciously tilt his head, as if he didn't dare to look directly at the sharpness of the arrow.
In the next breath, Liao Li's front hooves of the war horse under his crotch were raised, and he immediately stepped heavily on the ground, but Liao Li on the horseback was motionless, and his head never turned again. From a distance, the position of his invisible face door seemed to be an arrow inserted horizontally, and only the second half was exposed to Wu Heng's eyes.
[Got it!] ]
Wu Heng had a smug and conceited expression on his face, and with a sneer, he handed the strong bow in his hand to the subordinates beside him.
I have to say that from the act of passing the strong bow, it is not difficult to see that Wu Heng is indeed very conceited about his archery. But on the other hand, he does have this conceited qualification, after all, as far as Fang Cai's hand is concerned, looking at the entire world, I am afraid that few people will come out.
[A mere general, it is also your blessing to be able to die in the hands of this commander!] ]
This was Wu Heng's initial idea.
He was indeed very proud at first, but gradually, he slowly felt that something was not right, because Liao Li, who was on horseback in the distance, did not see the slightest movement on the right now.
If he was a dead man, would he still be able to sit on a horse so safely?
Wu Heng's suspicions were finally verified, and after about three or five breaths of silence, Liao Li in the distance finally moved. He slowly turned his head around.
In an instant, Wu Heng's complexion changed greatly, and his eyes were round and round, with a look of disbelief.
Because he was horrified to see that Zhou General Liao Li actually used his own mouth and his own teeth. Bit the last arrow.
The Taiping army was in an uproar, because what was in front of them had already exceeded their imagination. Man, how do you bite the arrows of a two-stone bow with your teeth?
Even if it was Wu Heng, he was also frightened by Liao Li, and he faintly began to realize that Liao Li in front of him was probably not as simple as an ordinary general in the Jizhou army.
At this time, Liao Li, the panicked expression on his face had already disappeared without a trace, and he spit out casually. He spat the arrow to the ground and looked at Wu Heng with a weird smile on his face. Fools can see that from beginning to end, Liao Li is just playing Wu Heng.
"The head is not bad, but this strength is ......" Staring at Wu Heng, Liao Li shook his head with regret, and then drove the war horse to Wu Heng again, and said slowly, "I want to kill someone." You have to do everything you can...... Like this! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he rode alone and galloped to the row of Taiping saber and shield men. I saw him wave the spear in his hand, only to hear a loud bang, and the body of the spear in his hand was fiercely drawn on the shield of a Taiping saber and shield bearer.
"Bang!" The shield crumbles and wood chips fly. The shield, which was wrapped in a thin layer of iron skin, couldn't withstand Liao Li's seemingly easy blow, and the whole thing was shattered. What was even more shocking was that Liao Li's spear body had not been castrated by a few points after shattering the shield. With a pop, it smashed under the ribs of the Taiping soldier, only to whip the Taiping soldier so that the whole person flew up, and there was a crackling sound of bones in mid-air.
At a glance, the Ming Yan knew that with just one blow, most of the chest bones of the Taiping soldier had been shattered.
Sure enough. After a few breaths, the Taiping sergeant who had been sent to the air fell to the ground with a thud, vomiting blood from his mouth, and died soon after. At this time, when I looked at his chest, there was a large depression in it.
The Taiping soldiers around him gasped in shock when they saw this, Rao is Wu Heng was also quite conceited about his martial arts, but at this moment he also showed a look of horror.
[This guy...... This guy is definitely not an ordinary general of the Zhou army! ]
Seeing Liao Li desperately killing him, although Wu Heng showed no signs of change in his expression, his heart was raging like a raging storm.
You must know that he even thought about personally killing this Zhou general named Liao Li, so as to cheer up and boost the morale of the whole army, but now, after seeing the terrible arm strength that Liao Li showed when he killed the Taiping soldier, Wu Heng had already dispelled this extremely stupid idea.
Yes, it is indeed an extremely stupid idea, because even Wu Heng has to admit that Liao Li's martial arts and arm strength that week, no matter which one is at least higher than him, even if he goes out in person, I am afraid it will only be a death.
Thinking of this, Wu Heng did not reveal the shock in his heart, and said calmly in a playful tone, "Heh! It's a bit of a skill...... It's a pity that I'm a little stupid, and I killed it single-handedly, thinking who I am? - Shoot the arrows! As he spoke, Wu Heng waved his right hand and ordered all the soldiers to fire arrows at Liao Li again, trying to shoot Liao Li to death here.
It's no wonder that after all, after seeing Liao Li's ability, Wu Heng is not sure that he can win against this person, so he can only try to eradicate Liao Li with this kind of indiscriminate method.
It is still the same sentence, although a powerful military general, although they cannot gain the strategic upper hand like a clever military advisor, they can decide the victory or defeat of a battle and a fight, reverse their own disadvantage, and even turn the tide at a critical juncture.
Liang Qiu Hao, Liang Qiu Wu, Zhen Lei, and Li Mao all belong to this type of fierce generals, and although Liao Li is far from the previous ones, in front of the Taiping Army, he is like a martial god on the battlefield, rampage, wanton slaughter, invincible.
The powerlessness and shock of the Zhou army when they faced Liang Qiuhao at the beginning, this time the Taiping army finally realized that in the face of Liao Li, who only led twenty cavalry to charge, they couldn't think of a way to stop it at all.
level, it's too far behind!
Today's Liao Li, I am afraid that he is already on par with the coach Fei Guo, and has reached the level of Yang Yu, the commander of the Tianfu Soldiers of the Taiping Army, that is, the general of the twenties. The implication is that Liao Li is at the moment. At least he has been able to walk through twenty moves in Liang Qiuhao's hands without dying.
Although this comparison seems a bit ridiculous and absurd, in fact, looking at the whole world, how many people can walk through twenty moves in the hands of Liang Qiuhao, a peerless fierce general who has rarely been seen in the world for hundreds of years, and not die? A full dozen is only the number of a pair of hands.
And on the other side, Liao Li, a fierce general who is already qualified to confront Liang Qiuhao, how can ordinary Taiping soldiers resist? In an instant, the defense line was broken through by Liao Li, who went straight to Wu Heng's location.
[Unbelievable!] Unbelievable! ]
Watch from afar. The withered sheep was shocked like a huge wave crashing against a stone, but Xu Chang beside him was already dumbfounded, with a sluggish expression on his face.
I have seen crazy, but I have never seen Liao Li so crazy, so a few people dare to implement any strategy of capturing thieves and capturing the king first against Wu Heng, the fourth commander of the Taiping Army, who is surrounded by heavy troops. You must know that those who have used this kind of trick are all famous heroes, such as Liang Qiu Hao and Liang Qiu Dance cousins, as well as the thunder of the White Water Army. Even Fei Guo, the first fierce general of the Jizhou Army, has never been so alone in danger. It's hard to imagine where the infamous Zhou general Liao Li got this kind of courage and courage.
But then again, the most frightening thing for the withered sheep was Liao Li's way of dodging the arrows of the Taiping soldiers. After looking at this matter carefully, he found that Liao Li, who was in the rain of arrows, seemed to know early on whether which arrows could hit him, and which parts of his body would be hit by some of the arrows that could hit him. So much so that there are some arrows. Liao Li didn't even dodge at all, and let it graz his body and shoot into the distance.
This sharp blade hangs over his head, and Mount Tai collapses in front of him without changing his face. It is the most shocking and admirable thing for the withered sheep.
"It's terrible intuition...... Wu Heng subconsciously muttered what the withered sheep wanted to say. Now, he finally realized what kind of fierce general he was facing.
It was a tiger, a tiger that would tear people apart if he was given some permission!
Quietly, Wu Heng quietly retreated and retreated to the rear of the army.
He has realized. Liao Li is not a fierce general he can compete with, and the best way to deal with this kind of fierce general who is like a thousand enemies is to use the lives of his subordinates to pile up, to gradually consume the opponent's physical strength, and wait until he is exhausted. before he was captured and killed in one fell swoop.
I remember that when Sun Xiangyu, the chief of the Chang'an Campaign, dealt with Liang Qiuhao, he used this method; In the Battle of Xiangyang, when Liu Qing dealt with the thunder, he also used this method; And now, in the face of Liao Li, a brave and terrifying Zhou general, Wu Heng also chose this most secure method.
Wu Heng quietly gave an order, trying to lure Liao Li out a little more, after all, Liao Li was still very close to the army under his command at this moment, if Liao Li saw that the situation was wrong and returned to the army, Wu Heng would have no way to take him.
To kill this man, it is necessary to seduce this person a little more, to separate him from his men. In this way, even if Liao Li cannot be eradicated for the time being, at least the army under his command will not have as good a time as it is now. After all, although Zhou Jun is now giving orders in place of Liao Li, Wu Heng can see at a glance that the command of the withered sheep and Liao Li is too far apart, and the latter is called an invulnerable.
But it's a pity that today's Liao Li is no longer a person who will pursue desperately, seeing that Wu Heng took the initiative to retreat and didn't want to fight him alone, Liao Li stepped forward and killed for a while, which was a provocation and seduction. But when his intuition realized that there seemed to be some danger ahead, he immediately restrained the momentum of his horse and returned to the army without saying a word.
With such a decisive and unhurried move, even Wu Heng was stunned for a moment, and did not order the pursuit in time.
[If it was me in the past, most of them would have chased Wu Heng to the ends of the earth, right? ] - If he dies, I die......]
On the way back to the formation, Liao Li had a wry smile on his face. It can be seen that Qi Zhi's incident has not been forgotten to this day.
The lesson that led to the catastrophe because he disregarded the overall situation and rashly pursued the enemy army always spurred Liao Li and forced him to take warning.
[Back...... Coming back? ]
Seeing that Liao Li returned to the position of the formation unharmed after rushing and killing for a while, the withered sheep was slightly shocked in his heart, after all, Liao Li gave him the feeling that he was a person who was indomitable and would not give up for any obstruction, it was hard to imagine that this person would return without success before achieving his goal.
In fact, Liao Li, who noticed the strange gaze of the withered sheep, was also very embarrassed on his face, where did he expect Wu Heng to retreat so simply, and he didn't mind the loss of his reputation.
"I thought Wu Heng was also a hero, but I didn't want to be so timid as a mouse......"
Liao Li used the taunt of dissatisfaction to resolve the embarrassment in his heart, after all, when he said to the withered sheep, 'Come when you go', he thought about bringing Wu Heng's head back, and now it's okay, he Liao Liren came back safe and sound, but Wu Heng's head also grew on Wu Heng's neck unharmed.
seems to be such an embarrassment of returning in vain, to be honest, Liao Li is really uncomfortable, after all, this guy has some obsessive-compulsive disorder that is keen on perfection in everything, and the reason why he is enduring it now is just that Qi Zhi's incident is like a nightmare that envelops him, like a scabbard that can restrain his ferocity and rebelliousness, and the sharp edge of his sword named Liao Li is converged in the scabbard.
seemed to notice the embarrassment on Liao Li's face, and the withered sheep couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, you must know that in his opinion, Liao Li fought bravely to kill Wu Heng, the commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army, like Fang Cai, and could return unharmed after he couldn't succeed, which was already a very remarkable thing.
However, since Liao Li was ashamed to speak, the withered sheep naturally didn't want to say more, so he frowned and said, "General Liao, since there is no chance to kill Wu Heng at the moment, what should we do?" ”
Liao Li also frowned when he heard this, after all, the Taiping army in the city was several times larger than the Zhou army, since the killing of Wu Heng failed, it is not difficult to guess that the Taiping army will definitely oppress his Zhou army repeatedly, even if he Liao Li has made great achievements in commanding the troops, but in the end, I am afraid that he will still be defeated because of the disparity in strength.
When the time comes, not to mention that the Zhou army and the Niu Zhu army will be wiped out, and not to say that the withered sheep will die, even if he Liao Li, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape from this Guangling, which has been cut off from the outside of the city.
Sure enough, Liao Li's scruples were verified after just half a pillar of incense, and Wu Heng, who had been right, actually ordered a fire to be set near the street.
You must know that the reason why Liao Li was able to resist the fierce attack of the forty or fifty thousand Taiping troops from three sides with seven or eight thousand troops alone was that in addition to relying on the extraordinary intuition that could match the thunder in front of the enemy, the more important thing was to occupy the geographical advantage of the street. Because here, his seven or eight thousand troops only need to allocate three or five thousand soldiers to block the streets in all directions, and the Taiping army, don't look at the people far beyond the Zhou army, but in this narrow street terrain in the city, in fact, there are only three or five thousand soldiers and the Zhou army at every moment, and the rest of the soldiers, at best, can only wave their flags in the rear to cheer, if they really want to come to the front, I am afraid that there is no place to stay.
And now Wu Heng ordered the destruction of the houses and pavilions in this vicinity, which undoubtedly means that the good days of the Zhou army have come to an end, once the terrain near this becomes empty, the Zhou army, which is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, is afraid that it will be swallowed by the Taiping army in an instant.
And at the moment when the situation was becoming more and more dangerous, Liao Li's face suddenly showed a little surprise and consternation, and he subconsciously glanced at the north, and then a few unbelievable smiles appeared on the corners of his mouth.
"Too late, right? Those two bastards ......" (to be continued......
