~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Montenegrin army counterattacked, the Yuan army won first and then lost, Ma Han saw it in his eyes, of course, he only watched from the wall, and would never rush out of the woods to help the Yuan army resist the battle. They are so few people, thrown into the chaos, they can't even make a splash.

But to Ma Han's surprise, Lu Bu had quite a few Bingzhou troops, with five hundred horsemen and several hundred foot soldiers, which was enough to become an important force to turn the tide of the war at this critical moment. However, the elite soldiers and cavalry under the word "Lu" on the left flank did not move at all, which shows that Lu Bu did not give the order to attack. Only from time to time, a small group of Bingzhou cavalry rushed out, entangled with the right flank Tu Gehu cavalry, fought each other, and turned a blind eye to the counterattack of the Montenegrin army not far away.

A hint of realization rose in Ma Han's heart, it seems that Lu Bu is also waiting for an opportunity like himself! Hehe, taking refuge in others, but having such thoughts, and doing it so explicitly, no wonder the two of Yuan and Lu finally became enemies and parted ways. Well, it seems that Yuan Shao also sent people to attack three times and twice, and carried out assassination first, but the assassination did not achieve the pursuit and killing. I will want to get rid of it and then quickly. For a high-ranking military general who defected to him, and at the same time a celebrity in the world, he chased after him so fiercely, and the whole frame of tearing his face was completely inconsistent with the personality of Yuan Shao, who has always cherished feathers, and it is conceivable that Lu Bu offended him fiercely.

Well, isn't it just bargaining with Yuan Shao's life right now?

Ma Han shook his head and sighed, Lu Bu is the best person in the world in martial arts, but his eyelids are so shallow. Put on a posture that you don't give me benefits, and I won't go out to help, and it really gets inferior. In fact, Lu Bu has done this kind of inferior thing several times. The most typical time is when he was stationed in Xiapi later, when Taishan Zangba conquered Jucheng and promised to give Lu Bu money and money, but before he could send it, Lu Bu went to ask for it in person. Gao Shun advised him not to go. said: "The general killed Dong Zhuo, the mighty Rong Di, the reputation is far and wide, and everyone near and far is afraid of you." What do you want that you can't get, but you go and ask for it yourself? If you can't take it, won't it damage your prestige? ”

Lu Bu did not listen, and led his troops into Jucheng. Zang Ba was annoyed that Lu Bu had threatened him by force, but instead of refusing to do so, he insisted on Jucheng to refuse. As a result, Lu Bu was unable to conquer it. The soldiers were defeated, and in the end, the gray and slippery army was returned to Pi. It's really a brain pumping behavior of holding and deducting it from your own head.

Xia Houlan saw more than a thousand Black Mountain cavalry, under the guidance of a "Sun" character Daxu, bypassing the chaotic army and coming straight to the lookout, and couldn't help frowning: "Yuan Benchu was in trouble." ”

Ma Hanmu looked at the wooden fence that formed a half-circle and firmly protected the lookout, as well as the layers of halberd armor behind the fence, and smiled playfully on his face: "That is Yuan Benchu's personal guard, the heavy infantry called the 'Euphorbia'." Heavy armor halberd soldiers against light cavalry, this is a good show. ”

In fact, the so-called heavy armor soldiers at this time were not the real full set of steel heavy armor of Tang Modao and Song Buren in later generations, but the iron leaf armor. However, during the Three Kingdoms period, the armor was not widely equipped, most soldiers only had military clothes, and the cavalry was better, but they could wear two levels of armor, the military generals wore armor, and the heavy generals had Mingguang armor. It's the same with helmets, not to mention infantry, not even cavalry. With the courage of becoming incorruptible, it is just wrapped in a turban and wearing two gears of armor.

Therefore, the halberd warriors wear iron leaf armor, leather helmets, and halberds, which are high-level equipment at the level of military marquis. Naturally, such equipment costs a lot, and it is impossible to equip too much, at a glance, there are only three or four hundred people, but the armor is clear, the military appearance is clean, and it has its own weather.

Sun recklessly rushed to kill more than 1,000 horses, rushed close to the fence, gave an order, arrows rained, and at the same time ordered dozens of horsemen to throw out the lasso, lassoed the top of the fence wood, and returned to the horse to pull.

Some of the halberd warriors used wooden shields to block arrows, and dozens of crossbow-wielding men dodged from behind the shields and fired arrows.

The crossbow bolts were more accurate, and one round of firing actually shot more than ten Lasso riders fell off their horses one after another. Although the arrows of the Montenegrin army were chaotic, they were victorious, and the arrows came down in a chaotic manner, and more than ten crossbowmen and several halberds were overturned.

"Pull! Pull it for me! Sun's thunderous noise came from the chaotic noise. This fence held back the cavalry's momentum, and if it was not pulled down, it would be difficult for a thousand horsemen to break through the enemy's ranks.

It's just that this fence is not an ordinary camp fence, but is used to guard the lookout, and it is so deep and solid that more than ten horses have been dragged for a while, and it is only a little crooked. After a while, he was shot and killed by Yuan Jun's crossbowmen.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, so can it withstand such a drain? Seeing that the ragged Yuan army had been reorganized, Sun Qing was ruthless in his heart, and his horse whip was whipped violently, and he shouted: "Dismount!" Cross the gate! The first person who takes the head of Yuan Shaopifu will be rewarded with a thousand gold, given a beautiful maid, and promoted to three levels! ”

Money, beautiful women, officials, since ancient times, there has been no better thing to quickly improve morale and combat effectiveness than these three. The Black Mountain Army and a part of the Karasuma people on the right flank shouted excitedly, dismounted one after another, and climbed the fence with ants. The fence was filled with nearly a hundred people, and it creaked unbearably.

The halberd warrior who had originally put on a posture of defending the formation had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and with a shout, he withdrew his shield and halberd, rushed forward a few steps, and stabbed at the enemy in the gap in the fence.

From time to time, the Montenegrin soldiers let out screams and fell from the wooden fence, and immediately someone in the rear stepped on the body of their companions, jumped on the wooden fence, and struggled to climb. This fence is no more than a foot high, but except for the upper and lower two horizontal boards, there is nowhere to borrow strength, and there is no three or five seconds, don't want to climb over. And in front of the two armies, three seconds and five seconds are enough to turn a living person into a cold corpse......

The Euphorbia assassinated across the fence, killing only one or two pavilions, and in the end, most of the Montenegrin soldiers crossed over, but this did not mean good luck. As far as the eye can see, the front row of halberds is holding the halberd and stabbing forward, while the middle rows are holding halberds diagonally, the cold light is dazzling, and the blade is like a bush. The result of jumping down is to become skewered, not jumping? That's the target.

Puff puff! A burst of crossbow bolts swept by, riding on the top of the fence, and the Montenegrin soldiers who had lost their position were nailed to the top of the wooden fence one by one, screaming for a long time, and the rest of the people all rolled and fled back in horror.

With fences, halberds, and strong armor, but more than 300 halberd warriors, they forcibly suppressed thousands of cavalry, and it was difficult to advance an inch.

Seeing that the man in the golden helmet and golden armor under the big sword was close to a hundred paces, it was rare to make an inch. Sun Qing's eyes were red, he roared like thunder, his voice was hoarse, and finally he rushed forward with a big axe.

Under the flag, the Euphorbia Governor Zhang He wanted to pull out his sword several times, but finally held back, there was no one around the lord, if he rushed up again, who would protect the lord?

Over time. Both sides were already red-eyed, fighting in front of and behind the fence regardless of casualties, and the dead and wounded were so strewn that the latecomers had to climb into the corpses to fight. In front of the fence is a depression of subsidence. The fighting was so fierce that blood kept pouring out of the dead and wounded, and soon filled the depression. The war horse rushed, splashing blood flowers.

Dusk is approaching. The killing is in full swing. Suddenly, I heard the drums of war ringing, but when I saw the drum car, Jizhou didn't drive Tianfeng. Tie the sleeve robe with rope, hold the mallet in both hands, and fight the mallet drum.

Zhizhong engaged in leading the move and also charged with a sword, slashed hard, and killed more than a dozen retreating Yuan soldiers, splashed with blood like Shura, blood sword halberd pointed to the sky, shouting like crying: "In front is a thief who slaughters the old and weak, bullies women, and harms his wife. ”

Many of the soldiers were from Yecheng, and when they heard this, they were ashamed and angry. At this time, the generals took the lead one by one, did not avoid the arrows and stones, and shouted for battle, and these soldiers had no reason to retreat. Under the example of Yuan Shao throwing halberds, Tian Feng mallet drums, and pulling the ropes, the decline of Yuan's army was finally slowly reversed.

Lu Bu, who was crisscrossing the left flank, finally stopped the pursuit of Tu Gehu's cavalry, led Chenglian and Wei Yue to ride horses and return to their own position, and raised his voice to Zhang Liao, the cavalry captain: "Wenyuan, you can assault." ”

Lu Bu has seen the truth, Yuan's army has reorganized the army and slowly formed a formation, and there is no chance if he does not attack at this time.

Zhang Liao had been waiting for this order for a long time, and when he heard this, the long knife pointed in the direction of the fence: "Attack!" ”

Five hundred and state iron horses, like a wild stream, rushed out and drowned the Montenegrin army.

On the side of the Montenegrin Army, it was actually guarding against Lu Bu, the only cavalry army of more than 1,000 infantry that maintained a complete formation. At first, Sun Qing arranged for 500 cavalry to form a formation to the south to prevent a surprise attack by the state army, but he did not expect that the fence could not be attacked for a long time, and the troops were getting smaller and smaller. And the Bingzhou army never moved, and gradually paralyzed Sun Qing, and the precautions gradually became sparse. As a result, I didn't expect that the state army would not move, and it would be like thunder, and Pei Mo could not resist.

The iron cavalry swept by, and the two hundred Black Mountain cavalry were caught off guard, and in the thick smoke, they were instantly overwhelmed by swords, spears, and halberds.

At this time, the fence had been cut by the Montenegrin military axe and machete, and the lasso was pulled, and it was finally broken. Sun Qing was dressed in armor, holding a short-handled axe in one hand and a shield in the other, and dozens of soldiers entered the Yuan army's array. The shield collided with the axe, the halberd broke the armor, and killed several people in a row. When he was shouting and fighting, he suddenly heard the sound of hooves rolling and the people neighing horses. When I turned around, my face turned white.

"Damn the mergers! What a sinister Lu Bu! Sun Qing hated so much that he almost gritted his teeth, he had been in battle for a long time, how could he not understand the reason, and the state army copied the back road, if he did not withdraw quickly, not only would the army suffer heavy casualties, but he would even have to be planted in it.

"Mingjin! Retire! Withdraw, withdraw! Sun Qing hated to take one last look at the almost reachable target a hundred steps away, sighed gloomily, and retreated hurriedly with the flow of people under the escort of Hu Servant.

At this moment, someone in the chaotic army suddenly shouted: "Where is Sun Qing?" ”

Sun Qingzheng's stomach was on fire, and he was furious when he heard it: "So bold! Who dares to call the name of the master! ”

Before the words fell, the sound of hooves was rapid, a white shadow came into view, and the arc of the cold forest flashed - click! Sun Qingdou's big head flew up, blood spurted seven feet, and the headless corpse shook and shook again, and fell down.

In Hu Cong's stunned, a rider grabbed the head of the probe, like the wind, leaving only a final note: "...... Yanmen Zhang Wenyuan, borrowed the first level of use. ”

As soon as Sun Qing died, the Montenegrin army's closest offensive to victory was a failure. But this does not mean that the Yuan army has won, because the vitality of Zhang Yanbu of the Montenegrin Chinese army has not been damaged, and at this time, he has taken the opportunity of the retreat of the Yuan army to collect the defeated troops first, assemble into a formation, and prepare to fight again, desperately trying to win this battle. Zhang Yan, the veteran of the battlefield, knows best that if he misses this time, there will be no such opportunity in the future. This is the closest you can get to victory, and you only have one chance like this! Desperately injured, he also wants to take down Yuan Shao. The Montenegrin army is tired, the Yuan army is even more tired, now it's up to us to see who can survive more!

But at this moment, God gave the Montenegrin army a slap again.

The Black Mountain Army, especially those Hu people, let out a frightened scream, and Zhang Yan suddenly looked back - his heart cavity contracted violently!

In the northwest, three straight wolf smoke suddenly came into view, which was a warning signal from the peak on the north bank of Zhangshui: Nine Gates are in an emergency!

The Nine Gates are the flanks of the Montenegrin coalition army, and once it falls, the Iron Triangle will no longer exist, and the Montenegrin coalition army will collapse without a fight. If it is said that Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry assault is a tactical victory, then the assault on the Nine Gates is a strategic victory.

However, all the Yuan troops are under the close surveillance of the Black Mountain Army, and there will definitely be no army that can attack the Nine Gates!

So, what really happened to the Nine Gates?

Zhang Yan was eager to know.

Yuan Shao also wanted to know. (To be continued......)
