Chapter 172: The finch complements the praying mantis, and the falcon is behind
Liu Chan threw reinforcements, and met the people sent by Li Er to Shangyong on the way, and when he received the letter, he saw that they were planning to unite his men and horses to encircle and suppress Xu Huang's troops.
Liu Chan, who was originally marching normally, began to march quickly after receiving the report.
Ding Feng and Guan Xing needless to say.
As far as I can see, Li Er and Chai Rong, who did not leave their names in the original history, are definitely not badly talented.
As long as you cultivate well, you will definitely be able to make a difference in the future.
It's just that they started late, and their foundation is relatively poor, and they lack the conditions for the teaching and resource supply of famous teachers since childhood.
Ding Feng and Guan Xing still lack experience, and Li Er and Chai Rong lack foundation.
When facing an old and spicy commander like Xu Huang, Liu Chan was very worried that they would suffer.
If you want to compete for the world, talent is crucial.
Defeat can be eaten, and even cities can be lost, but talents and veterans must not die in large numbers, these are the most valuable treasures.
Liu Chan, who was marching eastward with stars and moons, also discovered a fire in the distance sent by the scouts on the way.
In the dark, the light of the fire is still very conspicuous, and it can be found from a long distance.
This made Liu Chan more and more anxious, and the direction of the fire was a path leading to Wudang Mountain.
Only the local mountain people sometimes take this road to hunt and collect medicine.
If the place of battle was there, Liu Chan would almost certainly have been calculated after a little thought.
With Liu Chan's understanding of Xu Huang, such a crazy act of leading troops across Wudang Mountain to bypass Fangling was definitely not something that a person like him would do.
If he really led his troops into the trail, it must also be a trick to lure the enemy!
Sure enough, Liu Chan, who led his troops to hurry up and hurry, finally intercepted them before the main force of the Cao army entered the trail.
"Imperial Array, march!"
This time, there was no shouting before the battle, and Liu Chan, who was worried about the safety of his subordinates, already knew what was happening when he discovered the enemy, and he directly gave the order to attack.
This time, Liu Chan did not rely on martial arts and horsepower to assault alone, first, the terrain is not conducive to roundabouts, but more importantly, it is ...... With his eyes, he saw the enemy troops in the light of the torches, and this time they were often equipped with crossbowmen.
The crossbow of a normal rifle is smaller and lighter than the bow, so that although it stalls faster, it has a closer range than a war bow.
But as a result, it gains a faster flight speed, stronger penetration, and less exposure to wind at the effective range.
At this time, the vision is worse than during the day, and it is still raining, even if it triggers alone, the physique is only at the level of [Dragon Spirit and Tiger Fierce].
In the face of crossbow arrows with excellent armor-piercing ability, Liu Chan, who also commonly uses crossbows himself, is not completely sure.
No matter how strong the [Escape Instinct] is, if you insist on hitting the saturated covered crossbow arrows, it is impossible to ensure your safety.
The reason why Liu Chan likes to attack single-handedly is to activate more characteristics and give full play to his advantages to achieve the greatest results, but it is not purely reckless for the sake of recklessness.
Now, for example, is clearly not the right time to be reckless.
The reinforcements from Hanzhong were in the middle and rear, and the 500 Red Star Army that formed the imperial formation was at the front, and the soldiers wearing Xuan armor were at the front of the Red Star Army formation.
The archers were the first to shoot, and then the crossbowmen waited for the opportunity to shoot flat, and the entire formation of both armies advanced forward, and the spear formations struck and stabbed each other, looking for an opportunity to break up the enemy formation.
This is a real toughness, without the slightest fancy, just speaking with the most direct hard power...... Is it?
Of course not.
Liu Chan turned over and dismounted, took the rhubarb crossbow he carried with the army, and at the same time picked up several crossbow arrows for the rhubarb crossbow and got on the horse again.
Pressing hard and firmly fixing himself on the back of the mount, Wu Qi felt something, and his muscles were tense, waiting for the master's next move.
After setting up the arrows, Liu Chan held the rhubarb crossbow in one arm and aimed at the Cao army's camp......
The big yellow crossbow is not an ordinary foot crossbow, if it weren't for his natural long arm, he really wouldn't be able to complete this action.
Boom!
After a muffled sound, the lengthened and thickened crossbow arrows pierced the front row of Cao Jun with a sharp sound of breaking through the air!
At the same time, a significant thrust came along Liu Chan's arm. Fortunately, he had been prepared, otherwise this sudden would have pushed him off the horse.
This arrow slashed over the heads of his own soldiers and accurately hit a Cao soldier.
The crossbow bolt pierced through his shield and armor without any suspense, and a ball of blood burst out on his back, and the crossbow arrow pierced through and pierced into the body of the spearmen behind him.
The Red Star veterans are trained harshly, and now they can be regarded as battle-hardened, how can they miss such a good opportunity?
They immediately pounced on it fiercely, cooperating with each other to tear the gap open.
At the same time, Liu Chan on horseback exhaled and screamed with his arms.
"Open!"
With the power of one person, the string of the rhubarb crossbow was pulled again, and another arrow was erected!
This move stunned the surrounding Hanzhong reinforcements and Wang Ping.
Good guy, this is using the rhubarb crossbow as a normal stepping crossbow.
Even if it is an ordinary rifle crossbow, it is mostly a foot and waist tension, and most of the arm is a small light crossbow.
They had never seen anyone use a rhubarb crossbow like this......
Boom!
Another arrow was fired, and someone in Cao Jun's army was shot down again, and in front of this kind of thing, ordinary patent leather wooden shields and armor were a joke.
Just when the morale of the soldiers was greatly shaken and they wanted to tear apart the formation of the Cao army in one go, a strange sound like a thunderbolt was heard from the rear of the Cao army.
Immediately, two boulders flew into the air and smashed down towards the position of their own Chinese army!
"Spread out!"
Liu Chan hurriedly reminded that the boulder didn't fly so fast after all, and the surrounding soldiers hurriedly dispersed.
With two thuds, two head-sized rocks smashed into the rain-soaked mud, splashing the surrounding soldiers with sludge.
Both sides invariably chose to use this unconventional weapon and target each other's ordinary soldiers......
Fortunately, there were only two Thunderbolts left, and apart from causing some confusion to Liu Chan's Chinese army, they did not have much lethality.
On the other hand, the Red Star Army had already successfully torn a hole in the Cao Army's front, and at this time they began to harvest the lives of the Cao soldiers who had lost the protection of the formation.
But in the phalanx of Cao soldiers, there is also a second-echelon sword and shield defense line. Although the Red Star Army inflicted some losses on it, the Cao Army, under the command of Zhen Xu Huang, did not show defeat for a while.
Liu Chan, who was worried about the situation in the trail, was a little impatient for the first time.
Li Er, Chai Rong, Ding Feng, and several people who had high hopes were all there.
In addition to the three of them, there are also five hundred Red Star veterans.
These veterans accompanied them through the most difficult period and changed the lives of Jingzhou and Second Uncle Guan.
They are their own soldiers and brothers.
Liu Chan couldn't wait to break through Cao's camp now and lead his troops to rescue them, but his natural rationality made him still restrain himself.
Because the crossbowmen on the flanks of the Cao army are obviously still on guard.
Liu Chan hatefully wiped the rain from his face, and the other knuckle holding the reins clicked, not yet, and the battle situation was more chaotic......
However, it didn't take long for the rear of Cao Jun to hear another shout of killing!
The soldiers of the Cao Army on the front line did not know what was happening behind and were visibly shaken.
The Cao soldiers in the rear are becoming more and more chaotic, and it seems that another group of men and horses have launched an attack from the rear of the Cao army.
Guan Xing has finally arrived!
The corners of Liu Chan's mouth immediately raised, it's now!
He immediately replaced the rhubarb crossbow, re-held the spear, and shouted, "Blow the horn!" Drive! ”
After the order was given, Liu Chan urged the horse to leave.
The impatient, the black horse immediately trotted out of the formation, and the moment it broke away from the friendly army, it spread its hooves and galloped towards the southern slope.
The desolate and distant horn sounded in Liu Chan's army, and above the gentle slope of Nanshan Mountain, a hundred horsemen appeared.
"Kill ——!"
The cavalry team rushed down the hillside one after another, and slashed diagonally towards Cao's army!
Liu Chan rode his horse in the rain, and Wu Qi drew an arc on the hillside, and quickly caught up with the cavalry team, keeping pace with Li Feisha!
Liu Chan pointed his spear at Cao Bingzhongjun on his horse: "General Meng Qi, help Gu Chong to break the enemy!" ”
Ma Chao rode his spear and looked at the long-armed young man who was half a position ahead, and his always cold eyes gradually became hot: "Minister, obey the order!" ”
