Chapter 385: The Dead Are Like the Wind

The moment he saw the enemy blocking the way, Xu Huang's pupils shrank slightly.

He didn't know the burly enemy general, and he wasn't sure if the golden armor was Yuan Shao, but he knew that this enemy army was a hard stubble—this was a heavy infantry!

The enemy had no intention of avoiding the battle, and around the formation, they lit a large number of torches, and even in the dark of night, the fish scale armor on their bodies was dazzling.

Among the military generals in the world, there may be many people who slightly surpass Xu Huang in the army, but in terms of the advantages and disadvantages of heavy infantry combat methods, he is one of the few authorities.

The current situation is undoubtedly the most suitable occasion to bring the might of the heavy infantry into play.

As long as the opponent can block their own attacks, the longer they block, the worse the effect of the surprise attack. If this time is long enough to a certain extent, it is not known whether it will be reversed into victory.

On your side, you can complete a series of difficult tactical actions such as crossing the river, gathering, and raiding at night, why can't the other party gather some elite counterattacks?

Judging from the other party's desperate efforts to slow down their assault speed, the Jizhou people are likely to fight with such an idea.

However, although the other party played a handsome flag, which greatly boosted the morale of the Jizhou army, Xu Huang did not think that it was really Yuan Shao who was there in person. In order to gather the strength of the counterattack and take the initiative to stand on the front line, it is possible to replace his own father-in-law, but the possibility of Yuan Shao is too low.

He glanced back, the shouting of killing was still blazing, but he didn't see Huang Zhong's familiar figure, obviously dragged by the endless harassers.

Most of his personal guards are still those who fought together in Luoyang last year, after a series of fierce battles, the original 500 wrestlers, now there are only more than 300 left, the loyalty is still the same, and the fighting spirit is also high. It's just that he didn't have time to put on his armor.

Crossing the river is not an easy task, the more burdens you carry, the slower the speed, and Xu Huang really did not expect in advance that the enemy would be able to organize such resistance in time.

The other side is well-equipped and well-equipped, while its own side has been exhausted for a long time and has suffered heavy casualties. The attrition is close to 20%, and the backup is still far away, but he wants to break through as soon as possible, and the situation can be said to be quite unfavorable.

Xu Huang let out a long roar: "Brothers, can you still fight?" ”

"There is no advance or retreat!" Everyone replied in unison.

"Good brother!" Xu Huang nodded with satisfaction. Turning around, he raised his axe and pointed forward: "Kill!" ”

"Kill!" The forest of swords and axes moved with the sound, and Xu Huang rushed to the front first. And the opponent also raised his spear at the same time and aimed it at the chest of the Qingzhou soldiers.

The enemy and the enemy collided without any tricks.

The tip of the spear pierced into the human body, splashed the sky with blood, and broke in the body!

The axe slammed into the heavy armor with a loud and piercing sound. The sturdy armor was smashed and bent, the hard armor pieces were smashed, and the human body wrapped in the armor was broken with bones and tendons!

In an instant, hundreds of people fell.

The next moment. More blood pooled into the river.

The eyes of the soldiers on both sides were stained red with the blood of their robes, and they couldn't remember their mission, so they rushed towards the enemy with a wild scream. Even Xu Huang, who has always been calm, was red-eyed at this moment. Wielding a big axe, he rushed towards the enemy general like a mad tiger.

The enemy general's figure was very burly, and after putting on heavy armor, it was as straight as a small mountain. He looked at Xu Huang, without the slightest intention of retreating, and took a machete to kill him head-on, his eyes were also red.

"Dang!" The sound of swords and axes colliding was earth-shattering, but it was not surprising that similar sounds were everywhere.

The two collided with each other in an instant, and then quickly retreated from each other, and then each took a deep breath and accelerated relative to each other again.

Of course, the pro-corps of both sides could not stand idly by, and joined the war group one after another, trying to protect their own commanders while taking advantage of the chaos to hack each other's commanders to death. One moment it was soldier to general, another moment it was soldier to soldier, and with every contact, countless people fell, and every time they broke away, countless people shouted and poured into the center of the war group.

The urging battalion is lightly armed, most of them wear leather armor, even if it is a general like Xu Huang, at most they wear a heart guard on the leather armor, and although the Jizhou army came in a hurry, it was fully prepared, and the urging battalion suffered a lot of losses in equipment.

Fortunately, the current battle is somewhat different from the battle in the array, both sides have no long-range attack cover for the time being, and the only thing that can solve the opponent is the weapons in their hands.

The reason why the weapons of the Urging Battalion are long knives and axes is because the heavy weapons with long handles have the greatest restraint on heavy armor. No matter how good your armor is, it will not be able to withstand the hammer blows of heavy weapons. The Urging Battalion itself uses this weapon, and when it encounters an enemy with long soldiers, it will not be restrained.

The heavy infantry on the Jizhou side is used as a personal guard, and the weapons they use are mainly spears and knives, which are long and short, and have strong adaptability, but they are not much useful for long knives and axes. As a result, the gap in equipment has been leveled to a certain extent.

The gap in equipment has been leveled, and the courage is not much different, and the two sides are fighting for the hard work of ordinary training. In this regard, the Qingzhou Army is certainly the elite of the elite, but these pro-army troops of Yuan Shao are also well-trained.

The tip of the needle was against Mai Mang, and it was evenly divided for a while.

Xu Huang swung his axe sideways and quickly eliminated the two guards of the enemy general, only to find that one of his guards was also cut down by the enemy general. The two sides glanced at each other through the knife bush, and actually sneered at each other in unison. Then, shouting and approaching each other, they swung their axes at each other, sending a string of terrible sparks in mid-air.

Han Meng gradually couldn't support it, his martial arts were good, and his strength was great, but after all, he was still not as good as Xu Huang. Previously, Xu Huang was tired from fighting for a long time, and the battlefield was relatively chaotic, but he was quite a fight. And after a round of fierce collisions, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and there was a gap on the battlefield temporarily, and it became him and Xu Huang one-on-one.

Xu Huang lost no time in attacking with all his might, and even used the extreme play of exchanging injuries for injuries, and now Han Meng couldn't parry.

Xu Huang slashed three axes in a row, like thunder, he barely blocked three times, only to feel that his arms were numb from the shock, and his feet were even deeper and one foot shallow staggered. Xu Huang's three axes couldn't make a contribution, so he couldn't help but fly up, and his iron-clad combat boots kicked heavily on Han Meng's heart, and he clearly heard two cracking sounds that were almost connected.

The first sound was that the heart shield was broken.

Second tone. It was his sternum that was cracked!

Han spurted blood and flew out, and his burly body fell heavily to the ground with a loud bang.

Fierce battle, suddenly there is a freeze.

The next moment, it unfolded in a more violent situation.

The Qingzhou army rushed forward like crazy, and the blades of the several battle axes dancing at the front had already cracked, and they looked like a hammer. The Jizhou army desperately huddled together, using their bodies as a wall. Blocked the pursuit of the Qingzhou army.

The scales of victory began to tilt.

Xu Huang finally breathed a sigh of relief, although it was very difficult, but this obstacle was finally going to be removed.

With the enemy will be seriously wounded. There was a large-scale chaos in the formation of Jizhou heavy armor, although the heavy armor was strong, it could lose its formation and become its own battle, and it was only slaughtered.

Can armor protect the front of the body, can it protect the back? Even if you can, what about the weak points of the legs and feet? Advantages and disadvantages of heavy armor. No one knows better than Xu Huang.

"Kill!" He swung his big axe and used a move to split Huashan, directly splitting an enemy soldier with armor in half.

"Kill!" The role of brave generals was brought into play, and the morale of the Qingzhou army was greatly boosted. The fatigue and pain of the long battle are gone, and the morale of the Jizhou army is getting more and more sluggish, and the situation is becoming more and more chaotic.

Behind him, Huang Zhong's angry shouts gradually became clearer. Xu Huang knew that although the courage of the enemy was commendable. Commanded properly, but this battle was still powerless after all.

At this moment, a sharp hissing suddenly came from behind the enemy formation, Xu Huang had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he was very familiar with this sound, he exclaimed: "It's not good, there are archers, avoid it!" ”

He reacted unpleasantly, but the soldiers in the fierce battle couldn't react really fast, and even if they did, the dense formation made them unavoidable.

Arrows fall, blood splatters!

Dozens of warriors turned over and fell, and the fierce offensive of the forward battalion was suddenly stagnant.

"Bastard!" Xu Huang was in mourning, and Huang Zhong, who had just arrived, also roared angrily.

Only now did Xu Huang realize that the enemy was not only here to block the road, but also to collect the rout, so they lit so many torches.

Look closely, and you can see it.

The rout was arriving from all directions, and then, under the command of a Tsing Yi man, they assembled behind the formation, and some of them quickly formed a small group and left in turn, returning to the harassment battle on the front line. The other part is standby combat, which includes the team of archers who plotted against Xu Huang.

Before the main force was assembled, I am afraid that it would not be able to rush through, and the cloud of defeat flashed in Xu Huang's heart for the first time.

The pioneer's brothers had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and even if they continued to charge, it would be impossible to play with the momentum and combat power they had just had, but the enemy's heavy armor took the opportunity to recover their position. Although Huang Zhong arrived, the threat of bows and arrows to heavy armor was too small, on the contrary, the enemy's archers posed a great threat to the brothers.

If we do not gather the main force and continue to fight this situation, it is likely to turn into a war of attrition. For the disadvantaged Jizhou Army, of course, it is happy to see it, but for its own side, it is a major failure.

Unexpectedly, he tried his best to severely damage the enemy's commander, but he was plotted by a soldier. This person's collar is not much better than Mr. He, and he is ......

……

The other side.

"Blocked, blocked!" Han Meng clutched his chest, the blood from the corners of his mouth was still dripping down, but his expression was very excited: "The military advisor is really a god!" Ahem...... Blocking Xu Huang and Huang Zhong here, what else can the Qingzhou Army do? When the lord gathers a large army and arrives, maybe...... By the way, why hasn't there been any movement in the back, it seems like it's been a long time, right?? ”

Fu Zhi shook his head lightly, but did not answer, if you look closely, you will find that at this moment, his eyes are extremely deep, with an indescribable taste.

"Strategist?" Han Meng was shocked.

He sighed and said meaningfully: "Those who should come will always come, and those who shouldn't come will never come back, Xudong, it's me who has burdened you." ”

"Why did the military advisor say this, the last general ......"

Han Meng was only halfway through his words, he heard a thunderous sound, and then, he looked in the direction he was looking at, and as a result, he saw a scene that he would never forget.

In the endless darkness, dozens of monsters walked out, each covered with a thick layer of armor, and only two dark red eyes appeared in front of them, except for hooves. On the back of the monster is a strong man wrapped in iron armor.

"Gu ...... Ahem, equip the Iron Rider! With the blood, Han violently trembled and spit out the term.

Even if it was a thousand-man foot soldier who came up, he would not be afraid of this, and the heavy cavalry, even if it was only a few dozen people, was enough to destroy the thin defense line of the heavy armor and form a fatal blow.

"What should come will always come, and the damned will die......" A faint sigh sounded in his ears, and he saw a pale hand gripping the hilt of the sword. It was a pair of hands holding a pen and fighting with a sword, but if you just want to end your life, it is not difficult.

Han Meng finally understood that what would never appear was the lord's army, and he would not risk his life to save two of his subordinates, or two chess pieces. No matter how loyal and useful the chess piece is, the chess piece is a chess piece after all.

Opposite......

There was an earth-shattering cheer from the opposite side, and when he rode first, the spear blade in his hand was better than the snow, the war horse was like a dragon, and the iron helmet revealed a resolute and mighty, and at the same time a young face that was a little excessive.

"Can you escape for a while, can you escape for a lifetime?" Han Meng pushed away the support of the guards, laughed and stood up straight.

So far, I don't have much to think about, the horse leather shroud is the general. If there is a spirit after death, let yourself see what fate your lord will end up with.

In the midst of the firelight, he saw the enemy horse raise its lance and point forward;

In the midst of the exclamation, he heard the thunder of horses' hooves;

In the trance of life and death, he finally understood who was the hero in the troubled times!

Iron cavalry stepped into battle, invincible.
