Chapter 258: The Power of the Crossbow
Zhang Jiao's hunch was good, and the senior Yellow Turban wrestler, who was resting in the rear army, was indeed in trouble. Perhaps this trouble cannot be called a trouble, and it is more appropriate to describe it as a grim reaper.
Lu Shuang chose to lurk for so long, waiting for such an opportunity, in fact, Lu Shuang did not know the situation on the frontal battlefield, and with his keen insight, he withstood the opportunity to make a move after the first Yellow Turban World. Because when Zhang Jiao launched the Yellow Turban World, there would be a vision in the sky, and people in the distance could see it, and it was not until the second Yellow Turban World was launched that Lu Shuang ordered Cheng Hui and the other three army commanders to attack the left flank of the Yellow Turban Army.
There was a delay in this order, and the herald not only had to quickly convey the order to Cheng Hui and other corps commanders, but also pay attention to concealment and ensure the smooth transmission of the order. However, these offensive plans are prepared in advance, and you only need to make choices according to the situation on the battlefield, if you discuss how to fight on the spot, it is estimated that after you come up with it, the imperial army and the Yellow Turban army will be finished.
When Fei Yuanshao took the Yellow Turban Army and a part of the rear army to support the left flank, Lu Shuang vaguely saw that the rear army of the Yellow Turban Army was missing some people from the heights, and thought that Cheng Hui was attacking the left flank of the Yellow Turban Army at this time, and deduced that the left flank of the Yellow Turban Army should be in trouble. And after tragic hand-to-hand combat, the Yellow Turban Army on this expedition suffered a lot of casualties, and there were vacancies in the front army and the middle army, Fei Yuanshao wanted to quickly surround the Flying Sky City Army on the left flank, and he could only bring a part of it from the rear army, which made Cheng Hui and others suffer, but it was convenient for Lu Shuang.
The Flying City Legion ambushed behind the Yellow Turban Army was only more than 44,000 people, including 40,000 soldiers of the Shenxing Legion and more than 4,000 Danyang Qing soldiers.
When the Divine Legion defeated the defense of the rear army of the Yellow Turban Army, Lu Shuang received a news that he was very interested in, the Divine Legion sent two thousand cavalry to harass and pursue, and found a strange phenomenon, there were more than 100,000 sixth-order Yellow Turban elites desperately staying behind to break the rear, as if to protect a group of wounded soldiers of about 10,000 people retreating. After the break, the 100,000 Yellow Turban Elite were organizing a defensive line, and they were inseparable from the Shenxing Legion soldiers who rushed over, and even the Shenxing Legion was not able to break through for a while. Instead of following the battle, the cavalry took advantage of its speed to bypass the defensive line built by the Yellow Turban elite and continued to follow and monitor the wounded soldier on the flank. Because the wounded soldiers of this Yellow Turban Army were also protected by elite generals, the cavalry troops were small, so it was not good to attack rashly, but transmitted the news back to Lu Shuang.
"Interesting, it can be worthy of the protection of the Yellow Turban Army at any cost, this 'wounded soldier' should not be simple. If I'm not mistaken, the identity of this wounded soldier is most likely the Yellow Turban Warrior, and there are even high-level special units among them, if you can kill them here..."
After Lu Shuang received this news, he quickly came up with a possibility that the sixth-order Yellow Turban elite would be protected at any cost, and only the Yellow Turban wrestlers in the Yellow Turban Army had this treatment and status. If Lu Shuang is Zhang Jiao, or the Yellow Turban general commanded by it, he will also choose to do so, because the ordinary Yellow Turban Army can be recruited or exchanged if it is gone, but if the Yellow Turban Lux is gone, even in the Guangzong Yellow Turban Army, it will be a huge loss. So if God really let Lu Shuang make a choice, he would rather sacrifice the entire Shenxing Legion to save most of the Danyang Qing soldiers' strength.
But it was not Lu Shuang who made the choice, but Zhang Jiao, who had to give up as many Yellow Turban Elites as possible in exchange for the lives of high-level Yellow Turban wrestlers, and Lu Shuang wanted them to go to hell.
"Ziyi, follow me, our prey has appeared." Lu Shuang said to Tai Shici beside him.
With Lu Shuang's order, the four thousand Danyang Qing soldiers began to act, and the sixth-order Yellow Turban elite used a life-threatening way to delay the Shenxing Legion for a little time, at that time, Lu Shuang and his personal guards were waiting for an opportunity, and they were not in a hurry to expand their achievements. When the Danyang Qingbing began to attack the Yellow Turban Elite's defensive line, the Yellow Turban Elite knew what it meant to destroy the withering and decaying, and under the absolute strength gap, the Yellow Turban Elite used their lives to build a defensive line that could not withstand a quarter of an hour. The sixth-order Yellow Turban Elite is just an ordinary sixth-order soldier, even if Zhang Jiao launches the Yellow Turban World against them, it is impossible to be the opponent of the eighth-order high-level special troops, not to mention that there are many ninth-order Danyang green soldiers in it.
However, Zhang Jiao will definitely not let Lu Shuang get it easily, he still has some high-level Yellow Turban wrecks to deploy, and the Yellow Turban Army of 100,000 sixth-order Yellow Turban elites and hundreds of thousands of heavy shield soldiers and pikemen has indeed dragged the Shenxing Legion for a lot of time, plus the enemy attack was observed in advance, and the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai of the rear army conveyed the news to Zhang Jiao as soon as possible, and Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang personally led the army to stop the Flying Sky City Legion.
Naturally, it was not Zhang Jiao who went to fight, Zhang Liang led three thousand high-level Yellow Turban wrestlers, this is the only three thousand high-level Yellow Turban wrestlers left in Zhang Jiao, or in addition to more than two hundred ninth-order high-level Yellow Turban wrestlers as Zhang Jiao's personal guards, this is the last high-level Yellow Turban wrestler who can be used at present.
The battle situation in the rear is very critical, and Zhang Jiao can't take care of anything else, so he directly asked Zhang Liang to take these 3,000 high-level Yellow Turban wrestlers and more than 10,000 ordinary Yellow Turban wrestlers to support, even if they can't annihilate the other party, they have to be delayed, and Zhang Jiao and his personal guards will arrive later.
Seeing that the cooked duck was about to arrive, a Yellow Turban army of more than 10,000 people appeared in the sky, blocking Lu Shuang's way to pursue the wounded Yellow Turban soldiers. Zhang Liang saw that the person led by the Danyang Qingbing, although the equipment of the war horse was not the best one, but there were several generals around him, so he judged that this person was the general of the Danyang Qingbing, Zhang Liang thought in his heart that as long as he could kill Lu Shuang, this imperial army would inevitably be in chaos, and he could annihilate them here without even Zhang Jiao coming.
It just so happened that Lu Shuang thought the same thing the moment she saw Zhang Liang appear. Although he didn't know that it was Zhang Liang who was carrying the gun in front of him, there were only a few more famous historical figures in the Yellow Turban camp, and the historical figures who appeared in Guangzong could be counted in two slaps.
However, Lu Shuang was still wary, because he used advanced reconnaissance techniques to find that the Yellow Turban generals were carrying high-level Yellow Turban wreaths, and in case a corner could use the Yellow Turban World again, Danyang Qingbing faced the high-level Yellow Turban wrestlers under the blessing of the Yellow Turban World, even if they could win, they would have to pay a huge price. But as the so-called narrow road meets the brave wins, Lu Shuang does not plan to retreat, but wants to fight quickly, he has Tai Shici here, as well as six king-level generals (swordsmen) including him, as well as more than 3,600 eighth-order Danyang Qingbing soldiers and more than 300 ninth-order Danyang Qingbing, there is an absolute advantage in high-end force.
Tai Shi Ci and Zhang Liang were the first to fight, and Zhang Liang, who was only able to govern by Dong Zhuo on the battlefield of Guangzong, developed the habit of seeing no one in the imperial court camp on weekdays, thinking that except for Dong Zhuo, there was no one in the army of Huangfu Song who was his opponent, and he met Tai Shi Ci until today. The two fought on a war horse, Zhang Liang's weapon was a spear, and fighting on a horse meant that he could attack the other party earlier, an inch long and an inch strong.
But who is Tai Shi Ci, his talent is skilled in bows and horses, and his specialty is that he has the specialty of a master-level cavalry, and the pair of Prison Thunder Tribulation Heavenly Halberds in his hand seems to be only the length of a long sword, but in Tai Shi Ci's hands, it is extremely flexible, Zhang Liang's spear is easily blocked by Tai Shi Ci, whether it is a sweep or a stab. On the contrary, it was Tai Shici's attack, which could not be regarded as a long prison thunder robbery halberd attacked Zhang Liang in a blink of an eye, Zhang Liang was not sure to exchange injuries for lives or life for lives, so he had to defend with a spear. But the disadvantage of this long gun was revealed, in the face of close offensive and defensive difficulties, especially Tai Shici quickly adjusted his war horse and fought side by side with Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang was forced to be helpless and could only defend passively. One wrong step, one wrong step, when the dominant power was held in Tai Shici's hands, Zhang Liang was like a person who was forced into the abyss step by step, wanting to struggle but becoming more and more flustered.
Tai Shi Ci gained the upper hand, and Lu Shuang's side also suppressed the Yellow Turban Warriors, and others may not believe it when they say it, but you must know that not all of the high-level Yellow Turban Warriors are eighth-order soldiers, but Lu Shuang's Danyang Qingbing is selected from the NPCs with S qualifications to have combat talents, and the lowest are eighth-order soldiers who have completed the cultivation of intermediate internal strength, and according to their combat ability, it is normal to be higher than the Yellow Turban Warriors who also belong to the high-level special troops. The six king-level generals also played a big role, although the high-level Yellow Turban Warrior is indeed very strong, but that is only relative to the soldiers, a peak senior martial artist is stronger than the eighth-order senior Yellow Turban Warrior, not to mention the six king-level generals and dozens of special generals.
Zhang Liang and more than 10,000 yellow turban wrestlers were both in danger, Zhang Liang was even almost cut off the horse and cut off an arm by Tai Shi Ci, relying on his tenacious will to avoid two fatal blows, but the spear in his hand was also out of his hand, and his saber carried the Prison Thunder Tribulation Heavenly Halberd a few times and was almost scrapped, and if this continued, Zhang Liang might be cut off by Tai Shi Ci in less than ten rounds.
At this time, Zhang Jiao finally arrived, and Bian Xi also took the time to follow. Zhang Jiao saw that Zhang Liang was almost about to die at the hands of others, so he hurriedly asked Bian Xi to go to the rescue, but Zhang Jiao also knew that even Zhang Liang was not the opponent of this imperial general, and Bian Xi would not have a great role in the past. But after all, Zhang Liang is Zhang Jiao's younger brother, and he is also the mainstay of Guangzong's Yellow Turban Army after his death, and he can't have an accident here in public or private.
Bian Xi didn't dare to disobey Zhang Jiao's order, and slapped his horse to take Tai Shi Ci directly, and Zhang Jiao seized the opportunity in the distance, exhausted the little internal strength he had finally recovered, and used a thunder spell, a powerful beam of thunder and lightning poured out from his nine staffs, and the full energy seemed to be able to bombard Tai Shi Ci and kill the scum left. But no matter how bullish Zhang Jiao is, he is only a first-class historical warlock with 99 intelligence points, and the warlock's spells are in a single fight, unless it is accurate, it can't be an opponent of the same main attribute general. After all, Tai Shi Ci is a first-class historical general with 98 points of force value, and there is no need to Zhang Jiao too much difference in terms of historical title and main attributes, not to mention that Zhang Jiao is almost the end of the strong crossbow, Bian Xi's appearance has attracted the attention of Tai Shi Ci, and Tai Shi Ci is chasing Zhang Liang while paying attention to the movements around him.
The powerful thunder and lightning were avoided by Tai Shi Ci's nimble equestrian technique, and the thunder and lightning spell lasted for three to five seconds, just separating Tai Shi Ci and Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang didn't dare to take advantage of the situation to fight back, but turned around and ran, because he knew that this was most likely a flaw that the other party deliberately missed, and he didn't have a weapon in his hand, so even Tai Shici's armor couldn't break through it alone.
Zhang Liang's war horse is not as good as Tai Shi Ci's war horse, and Tai Shi Ci is skilled in arching and horse, good at riding and shooting, he is 12% sure that he can shoot Zhang Liang with one arrow, but Bian Xi Pegasus and gallop killed him, and Tai Shi Ci decided to solve one first and then clean up Zhang Liang. However, Zhang Jiao was determined to protect Zhang Liang, and ordered his two hundred and ninth-order high-level Yellow Turban wrestlers to go to support Bian Xi and other Yellow Turban wrestlers, in his opinion, two hundred ninth-order high-level Yellow Turban wrestlers, although they are all ninth-order first-class soldiers with 91 force points, but the status of high-level special troops is enough to turn the situation around. Zhang Jiao also saw that the imperial army in front of him was also a high-level special army, and its strength was stronger than his high-level Yellow Turban wrestler, but it was never possible for those below the ninth order to be opponents above the ninth order.
Lu Shuang split a high-level Yellow Turban wrestler in half with a sword, he noticed that these Yellow Turban wrestlers, many people's equipment seemed to be produced in Flying City, and thought to himself, Could it be that most of the Yellow Turban Army used his equipment?
The situation on the battlefield has changed again, Lu Shuang randomly used advanced reconnaissance techniques to obtain their attributes among the two hundred Yellow Turban troops who came over, I don't know if I don't know it, I was shocked when I saw it, these people are all ninth-order high-level Yellow Turban wrestlers, if they are allowed to come over, I am afraid that they will be caught off guard by Danyang Qingbing.
Although Lu Shuang was not afraid of them, there were more than three hundred ninth-order soldiers in the Danyang Qing soldiers, and there were dozens of ninth-order second-rank soldiers, and their strength was not worse than them at all, but Lu Shuang didn't want to add more casualties. Lu Shuang took away part of the reserve team of Danyang Qing soldiers, and the Danyang Qing soldiers at the front held a large round shield to greet the ninth-order yellow turban wrestlers who came first, and Lu Shuang took out all the crossbows in the space ring and distributed them to two hundred Danyang Qing soldiers and then stood in batches, and a group of one hundred people fired a salvo.
The ninth-order high-level Yellow Turban wrestlers are very confident, except for the arrows shot by king-level generals and above, or all-round shots without dead ends, the arrows fired by ordinary bows and crossbows on the battlefield can be blocked with weapons and shields. But this time, the arrows that greeted them came from the same place of origin as the equipment they were equipped with, and the arrows were specially made by many craftsmen in Flying City, and they were armor-piercing arrows specially matched with crossbows.
The crossbow is also known as the crossbow, the crossbow that the user uses the power of the waist and legs to wind, which takes more time than the ordinary arm crossbow, but the power has risen by several notches, and even the special generals can shoot it. The ninth-order high-level Yellow Turban wrestlers are stronger than the super-level generals, but they are only above the super-level generals, and there is no obvious qualitative transcendence than the super-level generals, especially when they are careless, the careless opponent's long-range weapons will not hurt them, so the ninth-order high-level Yellow Turban wrestlers who are standing at the front have almost all eaten the arrows shot by the crossbow.
The crossbow only shot two rounds, and the two hundred and ninth-order Yellow Turban wrestlers lost hundreds of people, one was that they were careless, and the other was that they couldn't imagine that the other party actually had crossbows and arrows with such a fast rate of fire and such great power, shields and blocks were useless under absolute speed and strength, and some of them were closer to the Yellow Turban wrestlers, and they were even shot with a string of sugar gourds by the crossbow, losing half of their combat effectiveness.
