~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the south bank of the Yellow River, southwest of Caoyang Pavilion, between the camp of the Xiliang Army and the Baibo Army, on a flat field that can still be regarded as flat, the two armies with a huge disparity in strength are far away from each other.
To the west, there are three military formations of the Xiliang Army, with Zhang Jijun on the left flank, Guo Yan's army on the right, and Li Dao's army on the middle flank. Both wings were more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, and only the Chinese army was a little less, about 2,000.
Among the three giants of Xiliang, Li Dao originally had the most troops, otherwise it would be impossible to be the boss, and the Xiliang army has always only recognized fists and not people. But first Yang Feng and Song Guo defected, and then they were attacked by Ma Haw, their strength was sharply reduced, and they changed from a chicken head to an ox tail. It was precisely because of this bitter hatred that as soon as he heard that it was a horse fighting, he immediately jumped up from behind the case, and without saying a word, beat the drums to gather the generals and order troops to fight.
The three major battalions of the Xiliang Army, each battalion has no less than five or six thousand men and horses, but after removing the auxiliaries, servants, craftsmen and musicians, as well as some newly surrendered Baibo troops and officers and soldiers who cannot be sent to the battlefield for the time being, only half of the soldiers who can really fight. This guy has basically pulled it out, which shows that the three giants of Xiliang attach great importance to Ma Han.
Compared with the seven or eight thousand men and horses of the Xiliang Army, the banner is unfurled, stretching left and right for several miles, and the big scene is overwhelming, and the wolf's tooth flying cavalry on the opposite side is only a mere 200 horses. However, because it is one person and two horses, four hundred war horses are spread out, which is equivalent to a large cavalry array, facing thousands of troops and horses of the Xiliang people. The momentum is not weak at all. It's just that more than 100 steps behind the wolf's tooth flying cavalry formation, the three infantry phalanxes of "Xu", "Wang" and "Lu" are really discouraging.
Under the banner of Xu Zi, there is Yang Fengjun represented by Xu Huang, except for Xu Huang's team of cavalry followers, the rest are all infantry with incomplete weapons. Three or four hundred people, all with yellow faces and thin muscles, looked cowering, their clothes were tattered, and many of them were still injured. The whole combination of a wounded soldier and the old and weak. Such a soldier is not qualified to fight a war, even if he waives his flag and shouts.
And the other two infantry phalanxes representing Hu Cai and Han Xian are not even as good as Xu Huang's side - Xu Huang still has an elite cavalry, and the other two generals Wang and Lu Baibo are completely unknown people who can't get on the stage, and the army they lead to "help the war" is not the weakest compared with Xu Huang's side, only weaker!
Wu chased back frequently. Gritted his teeth: "These bastards are too obvious, we might as well feed the dogs with our grain!" β
Ma Han didn't look back from beginning to end, his eyes locked on the enemy army in front of him. Leng Ran said: "This is the best, they are unkind, so don't blame us for being unjust." β
Wu Chai turned his head to look at the third camp of Bai Bo, where the sword halberd flashed. The figures are towering, the fighting is strict, and they have been strictly guarded. Squinting his eyes and licking his lips: "My subordinates really can't wait to see their frightened faces." β
Ma Han raised his hand: "Order, get ready." β
The flag commander beside him immediately raised the yellow flag, and the wolf-tooth flying cavalry warriors fed and drank water to the war horse for the last time, and then tightened the horse's belly belt, and after checking that it was correct, they all got on the horse.
The horse shook the reins, and the silver arrow under his crotch rushed forward, followed only by the standard-bearer and four servants.
Gotta get, gotta get...... A group of six horsemen galloped to the center of the battlefield, about 200 steps away from the Xiliang army array.
Ma Han took a deep breath, his chest was raised, and he yelled at the opposite side with the spirit of a dantian: "I am the right general of the Han Dynasty, Guangluqing, the Marquis of Xiangping, and the Taishou of Liaodong - Ma Han!" I confessed to the Son of Heaven and rushed back from a day and a night in Huangchi, a hundred miles away, just to seek justice for my brave soldiers who died in battle in Liaodong! Li Li and Hu Feng are looking for you! I'm standing still, my big sword is behind me. See clearly, that night, it was this person and this flag that exploded the chrysanthemum of your Xiliang Army! Now I'm giving you a chance to capture the flag and take revenge, and you two can go together! Do you dare to come? With or without seeds? β
Provocation, the provocation of Chiguoguo! The Xiliang army exploded at once.
The general of the cavalry, Guo Yan, pulled his jaw like a needle whisker, stretched out his crimson tongue and licked it, as if smelling a bloody beast: "Since Lu Fengxian, I haven't seen such an arrogant person for a long time, but unfortunately, the person he wants to challenge is not me." β
Wu Xi, the cavalry captain on the side, said with a smile: "Presumably, Ma Jinglong has also heard of the general's brave name, and he didn't dare to brush the general's tiger whiskers, but only dared to find those two Shiba Inu." β
Guo Yan smiled, although he didn't speak, his expression was quite proud. After all, he is one of the few people in the world who has singled out the tiger Lu Bu head-on, although he was injured in the arm, he was still glorious despite defeat.
Zhang Ji, the hussar general of the left flank army, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the arrogant subordinate Zhang Xiu and the arrogant fierce general Hu Che'er were not in the army, otherwise when they heard such provocative words, they would have to be the first to jump out to fight. This horse can pull out Li Daozhong's army with 300 horses, and he is brave, and he is not easy to match, but he can't let his only nephew take such a risk.
Li Li and Hu Feng, one is Li Dao's son, and the other is Li Dao's nephew, whenever there is a war, they will be by their side. At this moment, when the second general heard this provocation of slapping in the face, his lungs exploded, where could he still bear it, and immediately stepped forward, came to Li Dao's chariot under the umbrella, saluted and begged for his life: "Please give an order to Da Sima, I am willing to fight, capture this fang, and sacrifice my head under the tent." β
Li Dao squinted at Li Li's bandaged left arm, and said lightly: "Do you fight him with one hand?" β
Li Li's right fist clenched loudly, and before he could answer, Hu Feng on his side took a step forward and paused: "There are also two hands of the last general, which can help the people." β
Li Dao's expression was grim: "Zhang Bao, the right Zhonglang general, the fierce general under my command, the courage of his people, you both know." He was killed in battle that night when the Liaodong Army broke through the camp, and I told Zhang Ji and Guo Duo (Guo Yan's original name) that he was not in the chaos, but in fact, he was killed by Ma Han himself. This is what his surviving servant said, he couldn't even get close to the body of the horseman, and he was crushed by his head with an iron meteor outside the search for the zhang - I did not announce this matter to the public, for fear of affecting the morale of the army. Why, do you still have the confidence to fight with it now? β
At this moment, even Hu Feng was silent. Hu Feng didn't say anything, but Li Li spoke: "If we avoid the war, we will be laughed at by Zhang and Guo, and it will also affect morale...... And. It's rare for him to send it to the door himself, this is a great opportunity to get rid of Ma Han! β
Li Wei nodded and said hatefully: "Yes, if this person does not die, he will be in great trouble for my Xiliang army." Therefore you must fight. β
Seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of his son and nephew, Li Dao smiled gloomily: "Since even Zhang Bao can't get close to him, then don't get close to him, shoot him a hundred steps away!" β
Hu Feng's eyes lit up: "I'll come!" β
Li Dao pointed at Li Li, and then pointed to Hu Feng: "Yimin will go out first." You follow in and cover yourself with the body of the people. Prepare the crossbow in advance, hang it on the side of the saddle, close to the distance that can be shot, immediately take the crossbow and shoot it - no matter how brave the horse is, it will be difficult to escape a hundred steps to chase the soul! β
Li Li also waved his fist excitedly: "Uncle...... Uh, Da Sima has a good plan! The shooting of Zhonghe is famous for the three armies. Even Fan Chou and Li Meng were killed. No matter how strong Ma Han is, he will not be able to come back. β
Hu Feng is both complacent and proud, Li Li said. It was his proudest record. At the beginning, Fan Chou, one of the three Optimus Primes of the Western Liang Army, and Li Meng, the general of the Soviet Army, had a conflict with Li Dao due to grudges, and Li Dao took advantage of the meeting to recruit the second general. Ordered Hu Feng to lead the guards to lie down in the ear chamber and kill him.
Li Meng is okay, that Fan Chou is one of the few brave generals in the Xiliang Army, even if it is Guo Yan, a guy who dares to challenge Lu Bu alone. also admits that he is not Fan Chou's opponent. How did Hu Feng kill him? Crossbow kill! Hu Feng is good at using a strong crossbow and has the ability to pierce Yang in a hundred steps. Before Fan Chou could react, a arrow hit him in the heart and cut off the brave general's life on the spot.
Among the generals of Xiliang, in terms of martial arts, Hu Feng is not in the top ten; In terms of danger, it is enough to squeeze into the forefront.
Just as Ma Han didn't know that Hu Feng was a crossbow shooter, the three uncles and nephews of Li Wei also didn't know the name of Ma Han's divine shooting, so they formulated such a strategy that they thought they would kill.
A strong crossbowman and a marksman are all facing off in a battlefield duel without knowing each other's details, who can win?
Li Li first urged the horse out of the battle, in order to show the fearless spirit of the Xiliang people, he deliberately rode around in front of the three armies for a round trip, so that all the soldiers could see that he was wounded in the battle, and he Li was a general.
Li Li's move immediately won the support and cheers of most of the Qiang and Hu soldiers in Xiliang, and the call of "Li Zhenxi" was endless. In contrast, Hu Feng's appearance in the formation was much more low-key, and he was regarded as the deputy who swept the formation for Li Li. And this is exactly what Hu Feng wants, he and Li Li, one bright and one dark, on the bright side, the main battle is Li Li, but in fact, it is he Hu Feng who is really killing.
On the left side of Hu Feng's saddle, there is a five-stone crossbow that has been hooked, which can break through the armor and kill in a hundred steps. It's not that the Xiliang army doesn't have crossbows with stronger bow power and longer range - this army has been killed from Luoyang to Chang'an, and the Han arsenal has been robbed all over, what weapons can't be obtained? It's just that the crossbow thing, the stronger the bow, the greater the shock, the more difficult it is to aim, and the farther the distance, the less sure Hu Feng is of a one-hit hit - he only has one chance to shoot, and he must ensure that one hit will kill.
"Ma Han, we are coming, let's die!" Li Li held a spear in one hand, shouted and galloped, Hu Feng followed closely, the two generals were only separated by a horse body, from the perspective of the horseman, only Li Li was seen, and Hu Feng at the back occasionally only showed half of his body, two people, basically in a straight line.
The corners of Ma Han's mouth hooked up a sly smile, and he slapped the horse to meet him, and at the same time quickly took off the Demon Pupil Bow and pulled out a pure iron heavy arrow.
At the moment when Ma Han rode out, a knight sent by Xu Huang was hurrying over, and said to a few wolf-toothed flying cavalry soldiers who stopped him: "On the orders of the commander, I have something to tell the right general. β
One of the wolf riders asked warily, "What's the matter?" β
The knight was about to speak, but when he saw that Ma Han had already met the enemy, he couldn't help but be anxious: "Oops......"
"What?"
"The lieutenant asked me to remind General Right to be careful of that Hu Feng, this person is good at using crossbows and shooting at a gallop."
Several wolf riders glanced at each other and laughed in unison, laughing so inexplicably, in a hurry but unable to.
In just a few short sentences, the outcome has been decided.
The two sides approached 150 paces, and Ma Han had already grasped the galloping rhythm of the opposing two generals, and calculated the wind speed, sand and dust and the amount of advance. Oddly enough, the two have always remained in a straight line. What is this for? It's greasy! No matter what tricks you want to play, only I shoot people, and it is difficult for people to shoot me.
The horse shouted silently, his arms fluttered, and he drew his bow and fired.
The strings thundered, and the arrows turned into meteors.
Burst! The arrow passed through Li Li's fragile neck, and the remnants of the disease were strong, and it came out of the neck, turning into a bloody light, which was nailed between Hu Feng's eyebrowsβand at this time, Hu Feng's left hand had just touched the grip of the strong crossbow......
Puff tom tom! A pair of difficult brothers and sisters planted their horses almost at the same time, blood splashed in the dust, and they couldn't hide their two pairs of dead eyes......
The horse suddenly reined in the reins, and the war horse man stood up, pointing at his long whip, and his voice was like thunder: "Li Dao, this is just interest!" The principal is your head, let it be taken later! (To be continued......)
