Chapter 428: Prestige

Although Zhang Fei has made great progress now, after all, the time to grow up is still a little short, and he is still too young, less than thirty years, so he has not reached the peak in terms of force.

Even if his current battle method has changed, but when he fights against Lu Bu in a fair state, the final winner is most likely to be Lu Bu.

But it's a pity that Zhang Fei fought with Lu Bu in an unfair state, Zhang Fei had time to delay with Lu Bu, but Lu Bu didn't have time to waste time with Zhang Fei.

Moreover, the growth of martial arts is not the most important thing for a general, for a general who commands soldiers and horses, his way of using troops and character, as well as his vision, are the most important.

In history, Zhang Fei made a lot of mistakes when he was young, because of his temperament, and it was not until after middle age that Zhang Fei's heart and hot temper converged a lot when he was young.

It is precisely because of this that he became a general under Liu Bei after middle age, rather than a fierce general who charged into battle.

But now Zhang Fei, it seems that the time since he reached the highest level in history can be greatly shortened.

Lu Bu was very anxious now, if it weren't for this fire, if it weren't for the Hebei army that kept coming to support, he wouldn't mind fighting with Zhang Fei.

He was also impulsive at first, and at the same time felt that Zhang Fei was still the same Zhang Fei as he was at the beginning, and maybe he would have a chance to make a quick decision.

Whoever had wanted to end the battle at lightning speed did not succeed, but instead formed a tug-of-war that left him in a quagmire.

It's fucking unlucky.

……

On the other hand, Song Xian, Wei Xu, and Hou Cheng and others did not succeed in breaking through Liu Jian's large army!

You must know that as the overlord of Hebei, there are countless elite soldiers and fierce generals around him, how can he let people break through his important defense line so easily?

And Liu Jian now has a very heavyweight around him.

Although he has never made a move, this person is enough to be among the best in the Han world in terms of ability and prestige.

This person is Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, who are from Nanyang.

Huang Zhong came to the front and led his troops to confront Song Xian and Wei Xu.

At that time, Huang Zhong was mainly in charge of crossbow soldiers and mountain battle troops in the Xianglin Camp in the south of Japan, because there were fewer cavalry in the south and the combat power was not strong, so the focus was different from that in the north.

And today's situation is indeed able to give full play to Huang Zhong's strengths.

Liu Jian handed over the command of the remaining half of the Bai Yu soldiers around him to Huang Zhong, and at the same time ordered Xiahou Lan to assist him.

Before this battle, Huang Zhong taught Xiahoulan how to use field infantry to restrain cavalry.

The formation and combat power of the soldiers are very important, but if you want to be able to ride in a foot, the key point is to have the right weapons.

The amount of iron smelted is still very important to the people in the army.

Hebei built a large number of spears and shields, which played a very large role in the frontal confrontation with cavalry.

At the same time, it is supplemented by a strong bow and a large sword team, which kills from the flanks, and uses the large shield and spear in front to break the enemy formation, and the effect is very significant.

The cavalry team of Wei Xu and others was intercepted in front of the spear formation, and they could not rush in no matter how they charged, and once the cavalry team lost the advantage of charging, it would gradually fall into the encirclement of the enemy's military formation.

Song Xian, Wei Xu, and Hou Chengsan could not get close, and after being blocked, the Hebei crossbow army formation had already been replaced.

Then, the crossbow bolts rained down on the enemy army again!

I don't know how many knights died under the repeater this time.

Subsequently, it was Huang Zhong who personally led the long sword soldiers to rush forward, kill the enemy soldiers, and harvest their soldiers.

This charge has consumed the last strength of the Bingzhou army, and their morale has completely fallen to the bottom, and the current Bingzhou army is no longer able to launch a third charge.

All that awaited them was to rout and scatter.

But it is clear that Huang Zhong did not intend to end there.

He took the lead and led the crowd to follow the defeated army, and he fought bravely to kill and seek to weaken the living force of the state army to the greatest extent.

The battle in the distance vaguely spread to Lu Bu's place, Lu Bu's heart was like a knife, and he was angry, how could Zhang Fei be pestering himself now.

Lu Bu was anxious in his heart, extremely anxious.

Now it's not a question of whether you can kill Liu Jian......

If Zhang Fei continues to be entangled like this, he is afraid that his life will be thrown here.

Just in Lu Bu's heart, when the six gods had no master, and he didn't know what to do, Zhang Fei suddenly stopped his hand, and at the same time beckoned his soldiers to surround him.

Zhang Fei's action like this naturally gave Lu Bu a chance to breathe.

He hurriedly jumped out of the circle with the red rabbit on his back, and galloped backwards for a long distance.

The moment Lu Bu ran backwards, Zhang Fei's elite knights were ready to take out a hard bow to shoot Lu Bu who was galloping.

But before the arrow could be shot, Zhang Fei on the side raised a snake spear to stop him.

"Fujun, what is this?"

Zhang Fei had a straight face, and said to the knight in a cold voice: "You just have to defend the formation, be cautious, and have won a big victory today, so there is no need to pursue...... is the so-called poor and invincible, a character like Lu Bu, if he is forced to be in a hurry, it may not be a good thing. ”

"Maybe you will be bitten by the tiger and wolf, and the gains outweigh the losses."

What he said made his subordinates a little puzzled.

However, since it is what Zhang Fei said, then all kinds of presumably must have his reasons.

So, according to Zhang Fei's orders, all the soldiers under his command were ready to fight and no longer hunt down Lu Bu.

However, although Lu Bu and the others were not hunted down, Huang Zhong's side did not show mercy to Song Xian, Wei Xu and others.

For many years, he has been in the northern part of Youzhou, constantly dealing with foreigners, although the form of the northern Xinjiang is very complicated, and Huang Zhong's ability is even higher than before, but for Huang Zhong himself, and if he can have the opportunity, it is best to show his strength in the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Seeing that the Bingzhou army could no longer support it, Huang Zhong did not hesitate, and then took out the feather arrow from the quiver, and shot towards a figure wearing Xuan armor a hundred steps away with the help of the raging firelight.

To be honest, Huang Zhong didn't know who that figure was, but with a keen observation, Huang Zhong was able to conclude that the other party's status in Lu Bu's army was not low.

According to the other party's clothing, Huang Zhong was able to determine that the other party was at least a figure at the level of Qu Junhou.

Huang Zhong has the ability to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, and in this kind of situation where the other party only cares about escaping, his archery hit rate will be even higher.

Huang Zhong galloped on his horse while carefully adjusting the angle of his hand, and then saw him suddenly let go of the bowstring.

Then he saw that the long arrow in his hand was like a meteor, "brushing" through the air with a "brush", mixed with a whistling sound, and hit the officers of the Bingzhou Army who fled.

Huang Zhong had a heart eye this time, he did not aim at the vital part behind the opponent, but mainly aimed at the opponent's shoulder blades.

Sure enough, a cry of pain was heard, and the officer who was shot by Huang Zhong fell off his horse with a scream.

The guards on his left and right didn't care about the general who had been shot off his horse at the moment...... The distance of the Hebei army pursuing in the rear was too close.

The sergeants of Hebei soon rushed in the direction of the general's fall and dismounted, and they dispersed the Bingzhou army who wanted to come back to the general's aid, and captured the general alive.

At the same time, Lu Bu escaped from the entanglement with Zhang Fei and headed straight to the northwest.

There is Zhang Liao who fought hard with Wen Chou.

It's just that right now, there are more and more Hebei troops coming to support Wenchou from the big battalion, and the Hebei generals, including Yan Liang and others, are also arriving one after another.

In this completely unfavorable situation, Lu Bu just wanted to continue to fight to repel the other army, but he was also powerless, and it was impossible.

The annexed state army, which had no horses, was now only abandoned by Lu Bu.

However, Lu Bu is also interesting enough, and he has not forgotten Zhang Liao at this moment of crisis survival.

Before he fled, he still desperately rescued Zhang Liao from the encirclement, and then ran west with Zhang Liao, not daring to stay in the realm of Luoyang.

Liu Jian didn't seem to have the intention of killing everything, he just tried his best to clear the living forces of the Bingzhou army, but Liu Jian didn't seem to be interested in Lu Bu's life.

At this point, he and Zhang Fei's disposal methods are similar.

……

……

After a day and a night of escaping, Lu Bu and the others finally escaped from the jurisdiction of the Luoyang range.

At this time, Lu Bu had less than five or six hundred people left around him.

and several generals of his lineage, who were also following Lu Bu's side in embarrassment at this moment.

All of them were glazed and sluggish.

In the past, the morale was like a rainbow, and the energetic army of the state was gone.

Now following Lu Bu here, only a group of remnants of the defeated army who have lost their confidence have been beaten.

The real remnants of the defeated army.

This battle completely destroyed the arrogance and morale of Lu Bujun, and also completely played the prestige and prestige of the Hebei Army.
