When, when, when, poof......

Although Li Meng tried his best to show that he had to be brave, the iron-clad fact that he was beaten to the point of vomiting blood after only three moves told him that for some enemies, forcing himself would not only bring glory, but would only bring endless remorse.

Finally, he still has a chance to make amends.

Run.

And it's a justifiable escape.

Because Li Meng, who was only with a mere 500 men, obviously couldn't pick up the entire battalion for hundreds of miles, and if he could really do it, then he would not be alone, but a humanoid Gundam, or a humanoid heavy tank - even if these two things could completely wipe out the enemy within a radius of hundreds of miles, after all, they had some problems in terms of bomb load and range.

Of course, more over-spec nuclear power and nuclear weapons are not on the table.

Cherish nature, cherish Mother Earth, and consciously stay away from nuclear products.

Ahem, it's far away.

Therefore, Li Meng's visit this time was actually intended to test the strength of the enemy army and then leave in defeat, luring the enemy army into the battlefield preset by the Bingzhou army -- this is not to say that there are any high mountains and valleys and dense forests that can be used near the Wei River, the surrounding area of the Wei River Plain, which is not very high, has already been highly developed, and it is already rare to be able to find a piece of Tibetan forest, not to mention other terrain that is more conducive to ambushes.

The main reason for this is to use the deception to test the enemy's chain of command. Whether the enemy is able to pour out in a short period of time, or it has been delaying for a long time to attack, or only a part of the attack, this can make the army know the information of the enemy on the opposite side more quickly.

After all, it was different from the time when he fought against Xianbei, so that Li Shushi could have enough time to bury all kinds of bright and dark lines inside the Xianbei people, and later someone blatantly sent information to Li Shushi. So that the general staff can more accurately grasp the habits of those high-level generals and the relationship between them, and then formulate more effective plans.

Where these inexplicable enemies appear like now, for the Bingzhou army, it is completely blind.

However, it is difficult to escape while surrounded by ...... It's really not ordinarily big.

"These bastards are really harder than iron bumps. And just like those clay puppets, if you don't pay attention to it, you will 'faint' there. ”

While shaking his head, he slashed the spear that stabbed at his body and mount and the sword that slashed at him, and then shook his head vigorously, and by the way, blocked the blade that was close at hand.

Although it is only a distance of more than 100 meters, in Li Meng's opinion, it is like a Möbius ring that can never be reached, with endless enemies around him, endless enemies in front of him, and endless enemies behind him. And the only thing that can prove that he is moving is not the war horse galloping under his crotch, but the dwindling soldiers around him.

It has to be said that Li Meng encountered the worst situation - those who looked like clay puppets had almost the same characteristics as clay puppets, not only did they have stronger defense against physical attacks such as swords, but also the attacks were accompanied by a special power, which vibrated in the body, not only causing temporary paralysis of the body. The most important thing is that it causes vertigo in the brain, causing the soldier to quickly lose most of his combat effectiveness. Especially in the process of breaking out, this is a direct judgment of death.

And such a tough puppet-like guy has the intelligence of a human - perhaps most of the time they show the ability to cooperate perfectly and carry out orders, but occasionally there are also expressions that fine-tune according to the battle situation, and this is obviously not something that a simple puppet or battle instinct can do.

Of course, the enemy's way of fighting also caused Li Meng, who had no opponent at all, to suffer a lot of losses.

The spear, which was more than two feet long, was for the current troops. It has become less and less used, because with the continuous maturity of the cavalry class, although the spear of such a length has excellent frontal defense and offensive ability, it is very bulky and has too many flaws in front of the mobile and agile cavalry.

Even the soldiers on horseback. The long blade in the hand is also generally kept between one zhang and six to two zhang, and the specific length is determined according to the individual's size and the height of the warhorse.

As for the infantry, they either hold a combination of sword and shield or sword and shield, even if they are spearmen with spears, the length is only between one zhang and one zhang five, and usually not more than one zhang three, in order to ensure the advantage of spears while avoiding the clumsiness caused by too long length, so that pikemen can adapt to more battlefield terrain and have more flexible action capabilities.

It was only in the era when cavalry was not well developed, and warfare was mainly decided by infantry and chariots, that spears of such length were widely used - longer lengths had better frontal defense, and had better protection against chariots and long-range crossbows that were stronger than frontal attacks but not very flexible.

And today, when the chariot soldiers are gradually withdrawing from the stage of history, the pike infantry with super long spears in their hands is also gradually dying out.

However, this kind of ancient army, which was almost eliminated, dealt a huge blow to Li Meng's troops under the perfect command of the commander, and the gun array like a wall may not be able to confront the cavalry in a vast space, but in a relatively small space, it is the main way for the guards to rush out of the camp, and the power has become unprecedentedly huge.

It can be said that every step forward of Li Meng's department was exchanged for the blood and lives of the soldiers.

The spears like a forest were already hung with the corpses of dozens of brave soldiers who were bravely marching forward.

If Li Meng only had 500 people under his command, he would definitely not be spared today, but he was not fighting alone after all.

While Li Meng's troops were struggling to move forward, there was a sudden commotion at the back of the enemy's gun array that was blocking them.

Most of the enemy soldiers were not affected by this commotion, and only a small number of soldiers in the rear were ready to turn their guns and deal with the "trouble" coming from behind.

However, the chaos from the rear did not weaken in the slightest, but seemed to spread more and more in the direction where Li Meng was, even if it was separated by a dense array of guns. You can also feel the roars and shouts from behind the enemies in front of you.

"It's reinforcements, it must be reinforcements!"

Li Meng's excited shouts lifted the spirits of the remaining soldiers, and the morale of the remaining soldiers, which had been reduced a lot due to the siege, not only returned to normal levels, but even the morale of a large part of the soldiers directly exploded.

Therefore, seeing this situation, Li Meng felt that even if the reinforcements did not arrive, it didn't matter if he shouted like this, although in the future, his morale might be greatly reduced because of the inconsistency of the facts. However, if it is used at the right time, it can still make a big difference.

As long as those soldiers don't force him, they still ask him for green plums to eat after they get out of trouble.

Of course, at least this time his shout was definitely not to quench his thirst, but that reinforcements had indeed arrived.

"Li Meng, no problem!"

"General don't worry, Li Meng can fight again!"

"Good! Then I'll kill you again! ”

The person who came was Zhang Liao.

It was not too unusual for Zhang Liao to appear here, after all, Li Meng's task was to return from defeat and lure the enemy out of his camp, but there were already shouts of killing in the distance. But he didn't see Li Meng's department for a long time, so Zhang Liao naturally suspected that there was a problem with the plan, and it was natural to lead troops to help.

At this time, Zhang Liao was like a god descending from heaven, his hideous face was like an angry King Kong, and his sword-wielding posture was like a god of war possession, under his guidance, even those hard clay puppet soldiers who were like stubborn stones and difficult like unjust souls could not stop him from moving forward. Even if there is a brief pause that makes people sweat under the attack of the clay puppet, it can still move forward unhindered under the protection of the guards.

Thereupon. In addition to the fighting spirit brought by the ** of survival, the besieged Li Meng's department also had a little more confidence in defeating the enemy.

It is worthy of the posture of General Zhang Liao, who is admired.

It is precisely because of such an emotional heroic posture that so many soldiers are willing to follow him, even if they know that they are going to die, they are not afraid, because they believe to death that the man who led them will not abandon them.

Although there is bound to be life and death in battlefield fighting. But Zhang Liao never seemed to let them down.

"Don't fight, go!"

Seeing that all the soldiers who could be rescued had been rescued, and that the enemy's originally stable encirclement formation had also been broken due to the sudden rush just now, Zhang Liao did not hesitate and immediately ordered the troops to withdraw. There is no nostalgia at all.

And not long after Zhang Liao left with his troops, the enemy troops, which had been slightly chaotic, returned to normal, and they were still walking as heavy, if not slightly bulky, as before, and fell far behind Zhang Liao's troops without speed or steadily. Behind them, two teams of light cavalry armed with crossbows rushed out and chased after Zhang Liao's headquarters.

Although they are light cavalry, they are only judged by the equipment on their bodies, and if you hear them galloping, you will definitely think that this is the effect that only a heavy cavalry group charge can have.

In addition, if you look closely, you will find that there are no stirrups on the sides of the bodies of those war horses.

"Li Meng, what do you feel?"

In the process of fleeing at high speed, seeing that the enemy seemed to be within an acceptable safe range, Zhang Liao immediately rode his horse close to Li Meng and asked for information about the enemy. Although the time of the battle could be said to be only a moment compared to the time required for an ordinary battle, it left a deep impression on Zhang Liao, so he was even more curious about what Li Meng would say about that army.

"The classes look a little old, and the weapons they use seem to be very old, and it's hard to see something that old in this era. But despite their antiquity, the general who commanded the troops seemed to be familiar with the weapons and the way of battle, because his command could even be called almost perfect, and the execution of the soldiers was excellent. It can be said that if it weren't for the sudden appearance of the general, maybe Meng would have to give his life there today.

Also, watch out for enemy crossbowmen, very strong! ”

"It's old, it's a good conductor...... This should be important information and may be useful. Li Meng, no matter what the outcome of this battle is, you must take a credit. If you can win, you should take the first credit! ”

"Li Meng is already very happy to be able to fight side by side with the general, and it is not too late to say the credit or something."

Of course. If Li Meng's face covered with black and red had already bloomed with a smile, his words might be much more convincing, but Zhang Liao wouldn't care about this kind of thing, no matter how Li Meng looked like now, at least he was definitely fighting to the death just now, and he also brought back the first-hand information of the enemy army that he personally felt. Then he deserves this award.

Next, we have to look at his and Hua Xiong's expression.

Back to the water.

This is a very dangerous way to line up, although the will to survive will make the soldiers break out into a bigger battle**, but once the enemy is eliminated in a short period of time, the will generated by the desire to survive can easily be transformed into the fear of a strong enemy because of the desire to live, so that the original accumulated will to fight will collapse and the will collapse.

Therefore, the victory of the last battle is either dangerous and dangerous, or it requires the cooperation of other tricks, and most importantly, as long as it is dealt with properly, the battle against the water still cannot change its reputation as the most dangerous move on the most unfavorable terrain.

Zhang Liao was obviously a man who was familiar with the art of war. And why did he set up this backwater array?

The only good thing was that the ground near the river beach was still relatively hard due to the continuous drought, and the cavalry did not have to worry about their horse's hooves getting into the mud and becoming slower than the infantry, and eventually becoming a target for the infantry and crossbowmen in the distance.

This is perhaps the only good news that has been received by the state army since the beginning of the war.

Of course, there is also bad news, that is, the enemy's light cavalry troops are not far away from them, although the speed is slightly inferior, but it is already far away, which also means that the advantages that Zhang Liao's side has are basically the other party.

Perhaps this is why Zhang Liao did not order his subordinates to cross the river immediately.

After all, Zhang Liao had noticed it just now. The enemy's light cavalry can be described as standard crossbow cavalry, with a crossbow in hand. Judging from the initial confrontation, the enemy's crossbow cavalry troops are definitely veterans, even on a bumpy war horse, they can keep the crossbow arrows shot at a very high hit rate, although they can't cause much damage to the Bingzhou army because of the distance, but they can definitely attract Zhang Liao's attention - if you become a target and the enemy has a large group of marksmen, it is estimated that it will not be much better than the end of the world.

Think of the enemy's crossbowmen. Zhang Liao couldn't help frowning.

He remembered Li Meng's assessment of the enemy - "The enemy's crossbowmen are very strong, so be extra careful."

Judging from the fact that Li Meng's troops and the enemy were in close contact most of the time at that time, the enemy's crossbowmen in Li Meng's mouth were very strong and terrifying, not only referring to the enemy's crossbowmen being a group of marksmen, but I am afraid that those crossbows themselves are definitely strong crossbows. Although I can't tell how many stones the opponent's crossbow machine has, I think back to the chase just now. Zhang Liao quickly came up with an approximate number.

It's just that this result really surprised him and gasped.

If your estimate is correct......

"Well, we don't have time to rest anymore. If you are going to make it back alive, we must crush the cavalry that has come to stop us!" Judging from the situation we just faced, they may all be marksmen, so the only way we can defeat them is to rush over, use our speed to rush up, and fight them hand-to-hand, so that they can't take advantage of the marksman's advantage. Otherwise, even if we escape, we will only be killed by them in a distant and beautiful place.

So, now, are you still willing to believe me Zhang Wenyuan! ”

"Willing, willing, willing!!"

"Okay, then everyone follow me, charge!"

First, the war horses marched slowly in unison, and then began to trot, gradually increasing their speed in the warm-up, and each step was so neat and uniform, showing that this group of soldiers did have quite an excellent element, and at the same time, they also had a very tacit cooperation.

It was counter-charged.

Although Zhang Liao's actions were indeed a bit unexpected by the enemy's light cavalry force, they did not frighten and worry him and his soldiers, and it was obviously impossible for such a negative word to appear in their dictionary.

They may not be the main force in that huge army, but they also have their own glory, and they have single-handedly cut off the hope of hundreds of thousands of lives, and finally extinguished the ambition of the kingdom that was once their strongest opponent to dominate the world. And at that time, the total number of enemy troops that attacked them was far greater than now.

They don't have any reason to be afraid.

The two sides soon entered the range of each other, but in the face of the enemy who raised the crossbow in his hand, Zhang Liao and the cavalry under his command did not change into the cavalry bows in their hands as usual - this is estimated by Guò, Zhang Liao felt that there was a little bit of a loss in the range, and more importantly, Zhang Liao planned to deal with these enemy cavalry in front of him before the arrival of the enemy's follow-up troops, so he was naturally unwilling to deal with the other party, not to mention that Zhang Liao had discovered a fatal weakness of the enemy!

Therefore, even if the enemy army kept trying to go around in circles with Zhang Liao's subordinates, and then had more space to display their excellent archery skills, Zhang Liao's side only chased and successfully forced the opponent to enter into a hand-to-hand encounter with the advantage of the speed of the war horse.

"Hah!"

One of the lieutenants of Zhang Liao's command raised his spear and slammed into the body of the enemy cavalry, forcing the enemy cavalry to use their own arms to block—presumably to protect their weapons, or perhaps their arms as hard as clay puppets were obviously more trustworthy than their fragile crossbows.

And the same is true, the soldier who was swept by the spear did not seem to have been hurt too harshly, and the spear seemed to have swept not a human body, but a hard boulder, and it also made a crisp crashing sound.

What the hell is this!

However, the swept enemy cavalry was not able to take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, because ......

Even though they are extremely good cavalrymen, they are very ancient in all aspects, and they are naturally not equipped with new weapons such as "bilateral stirrups", so in the face of lateral force attacks, even if there will be no problems with their bodies, but after all, people are people, horses are horses, even if people and horses are united, they are not legendary species after all, and as a result, they naturally fall and dismount under the impact of huge power.

Even if it's a clay puppet, it's definitely not going to feel good at once.

It was precisely because he noticed this detail in an instant that Zhang Liao finally decided that even if he had to risk the opponent's long-range attack, he must stick to the other party, because only in this way can he maximize his own advantages and weaken the enemy's advantages at the same time.

Looking at the enemies who had fallen one after another, Zhang Liao couldn't help but smile a little more confidently. (To be continued......)
