Chapter 302: The Battle on the Third Front (6)
Pulling his gaze back to the battlefield in the northwest, Lu Bu looked intently at the official road two hundred steps away, quietly waiting for the arrival of Bai Yu's elite soldiers.
The sound of horses' hooves faintly sounded from the end of the official road, and Lu Bu immediately clenched the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand, and stretched out his left hand to make a sign language to the dragon heavy riders behind him who were ready to attack.
After dozens of breaths, the sound of horses' hooves on the official road became louder and louder, and Lu Bu could already see the figure of the white elite soldiers, at the front of the galloping queue, Chen Zhi inserted white feathers on his head, dressed in bright armor, riding on a black horse, and running at the front of the queue of the white elite soldiers.
Eighty steps...... Fifty steps...... Twenty Steps...... Seeing that the white elite soldiers were about to plunge into the ambush circle of the dragon horse, Chen Zhi suddenly reined in the war horse, and the black horse was suddenly forcibly stopped in the gallop, and immediately neighed, a pair of front hooves were raised high, and the hind hooves paused heavily on the ground, and the man stood up at a forty-five degree angle, and after a short stay in the air, he fell heavily to the ground again.
A captain of the white jade elite soldier came to Chen Zhi's side and asked suspiciously, "General, what's wrong?" Chen Zhi did not answer his words, but used a vigilant gaze, scanning back and forth on both sides of the road, and at the same time said loudly: "There is murderous aura here!" Alert! After hearing Chen Zhi's shout, the seven thousand Bai Yu elite soldiers immediately drew their war knives, formed a circle, and instantly arranged a defensive square circle array, surrounding Chen Zhi in the core.
"Huh? Can you even feel the murderous aura of our army? This person must have arrived at Chen, and sure enough, there were two brushes, but that was the end of it! Launched! In the first few words, Lu Bu was still admiring Chen Dao's alertness, and at the end, he was already giving an order to prepare for the charge.
The 10,000 Long Xiang heavy riders who followed behind Lu Bu quietly turned over and got on their horses, and none of them made the slightest movement. Their equipment was all built by Ao Lie at a huge cost. The three-layered Mingguang Heavy Armor uses a seamlessly connected cross-era technique, and it does not cause the sound of armor leaves colliding like ordinary armor at all.
After all the subordinate soldiers stepped on the war horses, Lu Bu slowly put the Fang Tian painting halberd on the hook next to the saddle, quietly took off the treasure carving bow in the quiver, took out a wolf tooth arrow and put it on the bowstring, and at the same time ordered in a deep voice: "Prepare the crossbow, target, enemy generals at all levels, wait for a certain order, shoot yourself!" โ
The dragon cavalry is because it is a heavy cavalry. In addition to being equipped with the same Xizi hand crossbow as the blood killing elite, each person is also equipped with a riding bow, which is used for long-range shooting in galloping, killing the cavalry in the front row of the opponent before the confrontation, and causing chaos in the opponent's battle formation, so every time Lu Bu gives the order to shoot, he must clarify whether his subordinates are using hand crossbows for close-range accurate shooting, or using riding bows for long-range strikes.
Lu Bu's resolute gaze. It was projected straight on Chen Zhi's body, but there was a calm look in his eyes, and he couldn't see the slightest killing intent, because Lu Bu knew it. As long as he showed a little murderous aura, Chen Zhi would immediately sense it. After locking the wolf tooth arrow on Chen Zhi's body, Lu Bu silently counted three counts and three breaths in his heart. It's enough for all his subordinates to lock on to the target, and Lu Bu is convinced of this!
Forthwith. As soon as Lu Bu's fingers loosened, the wolf's tooth arrow shot out like a meteor catching the moon, aiming directly at Chen Dao's throat! As Lu Bu's bowstring vibrated sound, the 10,000 dragon heavy horsemen simultaneously pulled the trigger on the crossbow and shot the three-inch-long crossbow arrows towards the generals at all levels in the ranks of the Bai Yu elite soldiers.
Bang bang bang, a dense sound of crossbows suddenly sounded on both sides of the road, Cao Xing, who was ambushed opposite Lu Bu, was also a master of archery, he had already heard the orders that Lu Bu silently conveyed to himself from the vibration of Lu Bu's bowstring, so Cao Xuan immediately commanded the heavy cavalry on his side, and also carried out a precise attack on Bai Yu's elite soldiers, and the speed was only one line slower than the comrades on the opposite side!
"Enemy attack! Vertical shield! When Chen Zhi heard Lu Bu's first bowstring vibrating, he already knew that someone had set up an ambush here, and immediately shouted for his subordinates to get ready, and at the same time, Chen Zhi pulled out his war knife with his backhand and cut off the wolf tooth arrow shot by Lu Bu with one sword.
Lu Bu, who was hiding in the woods, saw that Chen Zhi was in command, he was not chaotic in the face of danger, and the kung fu in his hands was also calculated, and he was able to cut off his wolf teeth and arrows with a short knife, and the fighting spirit in his heart rose spontaneously. With his legs clamped on Chitu's belly, Lu Bu took the lead and rushed towards the white Yu elite soldiers, or rather, Lu Bu rushed towards Chen Zhi, he wanted to see how capable Chen Zhi was!
Chen Zhi cut off Lu Bu's wolf tooth arrow with his own martial arts, but it doesn't mean that all the Bai Yu elite soldiers have such ability, the hand crossbow is a crossbow arrow that uses the force of the machine to hit the crossbow arrow, and its power is far more amazing than the bow and arrow, and the Xizi crossbow has been improved several times by the two masters Wang Hun and Ma Jun, and the power is even more powerful through the stone, and the generals of the Bai Yu elite soldiers who were locked by the dragon horse's heavy cavalry were immediately hit hard, and everyone suffered at least ten strong crossbows. Ninety percent of the generals with extremely strong crossbow arrows failed to escape this catastrophe, and their bodies were pierced by the crossbow arrows one by one, and they fell under their horses screaming.
In just one round of attack, the elite soldiers of Bai Yu lost the vast majority of their commanders, and many elite soldiers were implicated, were pierced through the chest by crossbow arrows, and fell to the ground screaming like the generals around them. Chen Zhi raised his knife and shouted angrily: "Don't mess up, keep the formation!" The enemy army will soon be on the attack! โ
Without waiting for Chen Zhi's shout to settle down, after Lu Bu, 20,000 dragon horsemen had already appeared from both sides of the road, their eyes were full of endless killing intent, the bright light armor on his body was extremely heavy, and the sharpness of the dragon horn spear in his hand could shine brightly! While they rode their horses to attack the elite soldiers of Bai Yu, they roared in unison: "The wrath of Long Xiang, there is no advance or retreat!" โ
It turned out to be the Long Xiang Army! Chen Zhi finally knew who the enemy of the Dao was, at this moment, his heart was filled with boundless bitterness, what is the first elite of Shu Han, compared to the Longxiang army, he is not even worthy of lifting shoes! Look at the ambush circle arranged by others, there is not a trace left, if it is not for the fact that he has a sense of crisis far beyond ordinary people, he would not know it when he plunged into someone's pocket!
But even if he saw through the ambush of the Long Xiang army, what could he do? Look at the equipment of the Long Xiang Army, look at the accurate archery skills of the Long Xiang Army, look at the indomitable momentum of the Long Xiang Army, and look at the killing intent exuded by the elites of the Long Xiang Army, which point is far beyond the white Yu elite soldiers trained by themselves! The main thing is: There are 20,000 elite heavy cavalry like the Long Xiang Army! Twenty thousand! Chen Zhi clearly knew how difficult it was for him to train out 7,000 Bai Yu elite soldiers, these 7,000 people had almost exhausted his hard work, he really couldn't imagine how such an elite as the Long Xiang Army could train 20,000 people!
In fact, the answer to Chen Zhi's question is very simple, it is the two monarchs Ao Lie and Liu Bei. The investment in the army is not at the same level at all, Ao Lie in order to build the four elites under his command, almost spent most of the financial resources of the original Yan Kingdom, so that the four elites of about 80,000 people were created, making them well-deserved in their respective fields, the world's first elite, for this reason, Ao Lie is usually poor to death, living a frugal life all day long. This is also one of the important reasons why he advocates economy and opposes extravagance and waste, he wants to save everything as much as possible, and arm the elite troops to the teeth! Therefore. Every time Ao Lie fought a battle, he had to make careful calculations and save costs as much as possible, and this embarrassing state was not alleviated until the economy of the three northern states gradually got on the right track. Later, Ao Lie became the regent. From the perspective of maintaining the dignity of the royal family, he has a little more luxury around him, but it is only a potted plant like a dragon cypress. But apart from the antique jade that was originally moved from the Luoyang Palace, he was a new luxury and did not add to it.
And what about Liu Bei? After being displaced for half his life, he tasted the sourness of the world, and the power in his hands gradually became huge, and after sitting on the state pastor of Jing and Yizhou, Liu Bei's ambition in his heart was no longer as sharp as when he was young, and he became more and more greedy for pleasure, when Ao Lie ate the same food as the soldiers, and wore the same coarse cloth robes as the soldiers, Liu Bei lived a life of brocade clothes and jade food after all the Yizhou, especially after he became the king of Hanzhong, it became more extravagant, the consumption of every meal, the cost of each piece of clothing, It is more than ten times that of Ao Lie on the top, one day or two days is nothing, but after a long time, Liu Bei will have an astronomical amount of more expenses than Ao Lie in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and Liu Bei squandered this expenditure in brocade clothes and jade food, but Ao Lie used this money to equip elite troops! Therefore, it is not surprising that the gap between the elites of the two countries has been widened wider and wider, and this gap has developed to this day, and it is difficult for the elite soldiers of Bai Yu to see the back of the dragon horse. And this gap is reflected on the battlefield, which is the scene in front of them, and the elite soldiers of Bai Yu have suffered unprecedented tragic casualties under the attack of Long Xiang's heavy cavalry with calculated and unintentional advances.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, even if Chen Zhi is outstanding in command, but his orders cannot be conveyed at all now, between him and the sergeants, there is no general at all levels as a bridge of communication, and now, Chen Zhi can only helplessly accept the elite soldiers under him, and fall into the situation of fighting for himself.
Chen only had a moment of free time, thinking about his subordinates, and then immediately retracted his attention, inserted the war knife into the scabbard, and then took off the spear on the hook, preparing to go all out to deal with Lu Bu who was about to rush in front of him. Lu Bu didn't know Chen Dao, but he guessed Chen Dao's identity based on speculation, but it was impossible for Chen Zhi not to know Lu Bu, the famous Tiger God of War, Lu Bu among people, Red Rabbit among horses, who doesn't know who doesn't know? More than ten years ago, when Ao Lie left Jiuyuan and followed his father Liu Yu to Jijun to take office, he gave Lu Bu a poem, one of which was, Mo Chou has no confidant in the future, and no one in the world knows you.
Hiss - the Red Rabbit roared wildly, carrying Lu Bufei to Chen Zhi's eyes, and the dozens of Bai Yu elite soldiers who were blocking in front of Chen Zhi were either knocked out by the Red Rabbit and broke their bones and tendons, or they had become another wisp of revenant soul under Fang Tian's halberd!
With a sneer on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth, Fang Tian's halberd was merciless, and it fell down fiercely on the top of Chen Dao's head! Chen Zhi clenched the spear with both hands, and with the momentum of raising fire to the plain, he faced the slashed Fang Tian Painting Halberd.
The bellโa gun and a halberd collided heavily, and countless sparks splattered out in an instant. Chen Zhi's ability to block his halberd was expected by Lu Bu, if he couldn't even catch his own move, then he would be too disappointed. With a flick of his arm, Lu Bu instantly changed his moves, Fang Tian painted the halberd flat on Chen Zhi's spear, and suddenly swept across, intending to use the halberd blade to cut off the five fingers of Chen Zhi's right hand, Chen Zhiqing shouted, the gun went with him, while the upper body leaned forward to the right, the left hand sank to the Lu, the right hand poured into the force, struggled to lift it up, and even avoided Lu Bu's halberd blade, and then grabbed the gun with his right hand again, holding the spear and stabbing it towards Lu Bu's throat!
