Remember for a second [Think โรท Ke โ Xiao โณ said ยง Net . Org], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Changshan Zhao Zilong took the lead, and the two thousand horsemen behind him were all pulled away by him for a long distance.
I saw Zhao Yun looking at the chain horse roaring towards him in front of him, and with a force of his legs, he took off into the air, reversed in the air, and the bright silver spear in his hand stabbed towards the person in front of him like a meteor.
The sharp spear pierced the heavy armor on the heavy rider in an instant, and a splash of blood splashed out, and then, Zhao Yun rolled to the ground, and the bright silver spear in his hand swept heavily towards a chain horse beside him.
Even though he had heavy armor to protect himself, in front of Changshan Zhao Zilong, the chain horse still had his legs broken.
A horse fell, directly affected the whole row of war horses, in an instant, the entire row of chain horses all fell to the ground, followed by Zhao Yun followed by the Wei and Shu coalition army rushed up, fifty chain heavy horses, surrounded by tens of thousands of people were slaughtered.
Changshan Zhao Zilong laughed loudly, remounted the white war horse, and killed the second row of serial horses in front of him.
In this way, under Zhao Yun's great power, there were six rows of chain horses, and three hundred heavy horses were folded in his hands, Murong Ke saw this, and hurriedly asked the chain horses to stop the impact and rearrange the formation.
When the chain horse rearranged the formation, he rushed towards Zhao Yun, Pang De and the others again.
Changshan Zhao Zilong, the brave general Pang De, and the mighty Zhang Liao of Yaojin, the three generals in parallel, together slashed the spear and big knife in their hands to the galloping chain horses in front of them, but at this moment, the chains in the middle of all the chain horses were all broken.
Zhao Yun and the three of them pounced, but the chain horses that had crossed them were connected again, and began to trample on the soldiers of the Wei and Shu alliances like chopping melons and vegetables.
The ancients had great wisdom, and Murong Ke's chain probably had some kind of device, which could be hurriedly disconnected when a single person was in distress to avoid affecting others, and could be reconnected after the danger was over, and continue to fight, Murong Ke deserved to be the first general of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
Zhao Yun and the others also figured this out, so Zhao Zilong had to copy the previous tactics and cut off the chains of the chain horses with a long knife cavalry.
But before this kind of chain horse that can break the chain at any time, this tactic is not very useful, but in Zhao Yun's opinion, this is enough, because all they have to do is to separate the chain horses and then kill them alone to prevent them from being connected.
Compared to Murong Ke's chain horse, Jin Wushu's abduction horse and Tiefutu are much stronger.
.......
Just when Changshan Zhao Zilong and others began to besiege Murong Ke's chain of horses, in the southwest direction of the north bank of the Wei River, the dust was flying, and countless alien iron horsemen were galloping wildly, waving sabers, and roaring to kill, these soldiers were all wearing khaki robes, and there was some kind of animal hair hanging on their spears.
This enemy army had 250,000 people, including 200,000 cavalry and 50,000 foot soldiers, and they were slaughtering towards the Wei and Shu coalition forces.
They played the banner of Liao and Xiao, and there were many soldiers who marched along the way and did not forget to shout, "Da Liao, Empress Dowager Xiao has arrived!" โ
Cao Cao spotted them at the first time, and from the shouts of those people and the banners of their military uniforms, Cao Cao knew who they were.
Opponents of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Khitan, Liao army.
As soon as the Liao army appeared, it was ten thousand arrows fired in unison, and tens of thousands of crossbow arrows came out of the air, fiercely shooting at the Wei and Shu coalition forces in the melee, thousands of foot soldiers were killed, including a lot of Wuhu people, it seems that the Liao army did not have much good impression of their allies.
From the mouth of the scout, Cao Cao learned that there was an extremely luxurious and wide carriage in the middle of the 250,000 Liao army, and Cao Cao stepped on his feet, trying to see the figure of the carriage clearly, because he knew that there was a terrible opponent sitting there.
A woman named Xiao Xuan!
The 250,000 Liao army, except for the 50,000 soldiers and horses, guarded near the carriage of the Empress Dowager Xiao, the rest of the 200,000 troops swarmed up and rushed directly into the battle group, and the 550,000 Wei and Shu coalition troops suffered great pressure in an instant, and even suffered defeat.
This is normal, the Liao army and the Wuhu people are mostly cavalry, and the Wei and Shu coalition forces are all foot soldiers except for Cao Cao's 180,000 cavalry and Liu Bei's 50,000 men, if they set up a good formation and stick to the same place, there is still a chance of victory, but now the two sides are in a melee, and the cavalry and infantry are naturally not the same in the melee.
.......
Huang Xiaowei stood on the high platform, holding the telescope and looking very worried, but Cao Cao and the others were not so worried, because there were Cao Ren, Huang Zhong, and Cao Hong in the distant battlefield.
The star-studded Wei Shu coalition will have its own way to deal with it.
But Cao Cao still sent 80,000 men to continue to cross the river to fight.
Now, Cao Cao and Liu Bei only have 120,000 foot soldiers left on their side.
........
In the chaotic army, a general of the Liao State, holding a machete, swung at the Yan man Zhang Yide, and shouted: "Xiao Tart Rin is here, Song Dog is here." โ
Zhang Fei stabbed Xiao Tzu Rin back with a spear, and at this moment, another Liao general swung an axe and slashed at Zhang Fei, "Brother Yelu Xiu is here, and the thief will give the head." โ
Xiao Tzu Rin, Brother Yelu Xiu, are all fierce generals of the Liao State, but they are too weak compared to Zhang Fei, how can Zhang Sanye be able to win it.
Even with the help of 200,000 Liao troops, the Wei and Shu coalition forces fell into chaos in the early days, and then under the command of Guan Yu and Cao Ren, they re-formed a battle formation, and methodically besieged Wuhu and the Liao army.
On the battlefield, the fierce soldiers on both sides come and go, fighting is in full swing, I have to say that these Liao generals are very fierce, although there are many people who do not have a name in history, but the fight is really unambiguous, and a few people can even live with Guan Yu for thirty rounds without defeat.
......
At the time of the battle of the three armies, the carriage that was protected by the 50,000 Liao Army suddenly opened.
A graceful and luxurious, dressed in the service of the Khitan Empress Dowager walked out of it, she was very beautiful, very beautiful, the years did not seem to have left too many traces on her body, red lips, white and tender skin, made her look like a cardamom girl.
She is the Empress Dowager Xiao.
Empress Dowager Xiao, supported by the two eunuchs, twisted her waist with a hand, looked at the battlefield in the distance from afar, and a few figures vaguely visible on the high platform on the south bank of the Wei River.
From the beginning of the war to the present, there are only two famous generals in the Liao State, even though some other generals are very brave, but this is too little, because behind these Liao troops, there is a woman named Xiao Xuan.
Empress Dowager Xiao sat down slowly on the big chair brought by the eunuch, staring at the south bank of the Wei River with a pair of phoenix eyes with interest, capture the thief and capture the king first, why bother to confront these Han people head-on, attack their weaknesses, and take the best position.
Finally, half an hour later, Empress Dowager Xiao waited for what she wanted to see, this time, she was not going to have 250,000 troops, but 380,000.
........
Just when the battle between the three armies on the north bank of the Wei River was fierce, without any warning, a major battle broke out on the south bank of the Wei River.
A full 100,000 Liao army iron cavalry and 30,000 Liao army foot soldiers attacked from behind the Wei and Shu coalition forces, among which three generals and Liao generals rode horses and galloped to the front line.
A man was eight feet tall, his eyes were like copper bells, he held a hard crossbow in his hand, set up a bow and released arrows, and one arrow killed a Shu soldier, and the arrow even pierced the corpse of the soldier and shot at the people behind
The other two generals were like him, dressed in fine armor, holding a mace stick and a Xuanhua axe in their hands, all of them shooting arrows with bows.
Facing the enemy army that suddenly appeared behind him, Cao Cao and Liu Bei frowned, they really didn't expect the appearance of the Liao army before, but this didn't mean that the two old slippery heads didn't have the slightest defense.
The 120,000 Wei and Shu coalition troops set up their positions, and the hard crossbow in their hands kept shooting towards the invading Liao army iron cavalry, and among them, there was a sharp weapon named Zhuge Repeater that appeared in the hands of the Shu army soldiers.
However, the range of this repeater is not long, and it can only be fired when the enemy rushes close to the front and back, and it is the hard bows that really come in handy with a very long range.
Before the 10,000 arrows of the Wei and Shu coalition armies, the Liao iron cavalry lost at least three or four thousand people, but it was with 3,600 men that they rushed to a position twenty meters in front of the Wei and Shu coalition forces, as long as they could rush into their battle formation, the Liao army was confident that they could defeat this Han army.
But they are doomed to be disappointed, how could there be only those eighteen fierce generals under Cao Cao and Liu Bei, just like Empress Dowager Xiao did, although Cao Cao and Liu Bei used their absolute main force, they left an elite soldier.
I saw that when the iron hooves of the Liao army were about to rush into the battle array, the four generals rushed out with 80,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 Wei Xiao horses, and the leading figures were, Cao Cao's son, Huang Xu'er Cao Zhang, Liu Bei's general, the old general Yan Yan, Cao Cao's general, Zhu Ling, and which Shu has no general, Liao Hua as the vanguard, Liao Hua.
The four generals with 90,000 soldiers collided with the 130,000 Liao army head-on, in the chaos of the army, Cao Cao's son, Huang Xu'er Cao Zhangyong was unstoppable, and a big knife chopped three Liao generals in a row, but the good times did not last long, because at this time he was also entangled by two of the three leading Liao generals.
Cao Zhang forced back one of them with a knife, and shouted: "Come and have the same name, Cao Ye's undead and nameless ghosts." โ
Two loud shouts rang out.
"I am Xiao Tianzuo, the general of the Liao State."
"I am Xiao Tianyou, the general of Liao."
Xiao Tianzuo and Xiao Tianyou are here, and the general who is entangled with Yan Yan should be the concubine of the Empress Dowager Xiao, Han Derang.
Although Cao Cao and Liu Bei left the means to deal with it, but the attack of the 100,000 Liao army iron cavalry was too fierce, although Cao Zhang was brave, but at this moment he was entangled by Xiao Tianzuo and Xiao Tianyou, and there was still a tendency to be invincible, and those foot soldiers had already begun to retreat.
Rao is like this, Cao Cao and Liu Bei still did not order the transfer of troops from the north bank back to defend, because they knew that the current north bank was entering a critical moment, and the slightest change at this time might cause a big problem, so they could only grit their teeth and resist the onslaught of the Liao army.
Cao Cao looked at the battlefield with solemn eyes, and soon looked into the distance, hoping to see reinforcements, Cao Cao said worriedly: "King Qin, why haven't you come yet?" โ
Cao Cao was waiting for Meng Tian and Qin Shi Huang, they were his backing, but I don't know why, I didn't see a shadow of the Qin army after two hours of fighting, it stands to reason that Li Laosi should send someone to pick them up, but ......
At this time, Huang Xiaowei, who was looking around with a telescope, suddenly pointed to the southeast, jumped to his feet and said excitedly: "It's coming, it's coming, the reinforcements are coming." โ
Cao Cao hurriedly took the telescope and looked at it, and in the telescope, he did not see the Qinzi Wang Banner, but the Songzi Banner.
---------------------------------- the dividing line, I think it's okay to write, just come to 17 to see it, Xiaowei is very poor, brothers only need to support five yuan a month to read books, five yuan, five yuan, although if the five dollars fall on the ground, anyone will pick them up, but Xiaowei code words to you every day, it's always worth five yuan, in fact, Xiaowei doesn't want to say anything, it's really too bad recently, the number of subscribers is too small, and then go on like this, If there is a real eunuch, please don't blame Xiaowei, because I need to eat, I can't do something for free for the rest of my life, and in the end I can't even support my own parents.
