Volume 1 Chapter 404 Cao Hong
"Boom-" An arrow flashed with fire, and in the dark environment, the red starfall accelerated twice in mid-air, obviously shooting in front of the formation, but it spanned a thousand meters, and it struck straight at the chest.
His miraculous archery skills made Cao Hong misjudge the two dodges, the sound of whistling, the firelight reflected the surprised and puzzled face, struggled for a grid, only heard the "pounce", and fell from the horse, falling dizzy
This is 1,200 steps apart...... How can there be such an arrow
The three sorcerers are all frightened - according to the standards on the ground, no matter how greedy Cao Hong is, he has stepped into the fourth layer of Qi training, and he is proficient in swords and bows, how can he not dodge an arrow?
The crimson trajectory has not yet dissipated, and the leader of the sorcerer Mingwu shouted: "It is a refined magic arrow, a refined magic arrow issued by the martial arts of the archery."
Kyudo, this is a rare type of restraint against sorcerers in martial arts, and it is by no means matched by a few low-level sorcerers.
"Come in, we have just used up the Dao method, and now there is no Dao technique to resist" shouted, several magicians were frightened and didn't care about the main general Cao Hong, who was already taking care of himself on the ground, so he only drove himself to slow down, turned around and rode away towards the dock fort.
Seeing the soldiers who had passed over the frozen and sluggish, the warning of death in their hearts could not be dispelled.
I only heard "boom boom" three times in a row, and the arrows broke through the air with a sound roar, and the three magicians barely issued a defensive method, only listening to the "poof" sound a few times, the protective shield was shattered, and the powerful impact force made all three of them fall off the horse.
"Help me"
"No, don't step on my ......"
Falling to the ground was only injured, but when the struggling Taoist priest looked back, it was a dense crowd of human feet and horses' hooves, which was the chaos caused by their escape.
In the next moment, countless feet stepped on, and a patch of blood splattered out.
Although the cost of magic arrows made of Taoism is high, it is simply a soul-chasing weapon in the hands of the generals of the archery channel, especially the restraint of low-level magicians - continuous arrow shooting, which is like a plug-in with no casting interval at all
The power of the four arrows made Cao Jun's faces pale, and at this time, the ground rumbled and shook, and a thousand light horsemen rushed to within five hundred meters, raising their crossbows to shoot.
"Wind—gale—" Arrows swept the sky like a storm and gale, flooding the night sky.
The crossbow itself is not known for its power, and the accuracy of cavalry shooting is even worse, and the cavalry only shoots once within 500 meters of high-speed charge, which is not much for the regular army that has been trained and familiar with the bow and crossbow for a long time, as long as they dare to stand still
But these Qingzhou soldiers were all rogue soldiers, they were not familiar with bows and crossbows, and they had no courage to dodge or dodge, which immediately caused a large area of chaos and many casualties.
Lacking the organization of grassroots non-commissioned officers, as soon as Cao Hong fell, the whole army lost its command, and the personal guards grabbed their own commanders and retreated, and the Qingzhou soldiers were already in chaos, and everyone was scrambled together in the gap in the wall.
They all want to fight for survival and sell their companions to the enemy, but the effect of slowing down is not gone, and they are as ridiculous as clumsy ducks.
Some of them were in a hurry and directly cut down their companions who were blocking the way in front of them, and the ghosts cried wolf.
It's like a farce, and it's unbelievable that these locusts have attacked the country, and they have no grass to overturn, so that Xuzhou almost overturned.
"Bow down—"
Huang Zhong roared, but retracted his bow and replaced it with a broadsword, and at the same time, the red-armored cavalry of the brigade collected their crossbows, put down the spears erected on the special side pockets on the side of the saddle, and drove the horse past the military magicians who were in a state of depletion of their mana.
The line of the two armies was less than 100 meters, a very dangerous distance, and the Ye family magicians all lifted their hearts.
A wide range of masking movements, buffs, and debuffs are all spells that consume a lot of money, and this is the fifth round of release of the Batch of Magicians today - with the Red Armor Light Cavalry running from morning to night, even rushing to kill the Qingzhou thief army, there is not much time to recover mana, so he took the initiative to retreat into a team of guards specially equipped for him.
The timeline of the lower earth, the frequency and intensity of wars, and the degree of Yuzhou's mastery of resources are ten times that of the above-ground magicians, and the cultivated magicians are generally one level higher than those on the ground, and even the appearance of fourth-order magicians is normal - it is not difficult to appear real people, then it is generally necessary to enter the next round, which is the last round of decisive battles.
However, the cultivation level of the scattered cultivators recruited by Ye Qing on the ground was relatively low, and they were the priority objects of protection on the battlefield of the lower earth - when they were also the priority targets of the enemy's attack, the first few rounds of sneak attacks broke out in the sorcerer war, and the killing opportunities were everywhere.
It's just that this Qingzhou soldier or the general who followed him felt safe, and once patronized and robbed, but now he is patronizing and fleeing, and even the three military magicians have not fought back until they died.
Huang Zhong stabilized the charging formation of the cavalry, and secretly shouted luck in his heart: "As expected by the lord of the fruit, a thief soldier is a thief soldier, how can he change the thief nature to gather like things, and people to divide into groups, Cao Cao's sorcerers are most afraid of death......"
The remaining two low-level magicians took action to bless the front row of cavalry, flashing the two Dao techniques of sharp eyes and light spirit, and the torrent of red armor cavalry had flattened the spear - this was not the Qin and Han heavy infantry that was seven meters long, or even ten meters long, but a five-meter "short spear".
At the top of the disposable hardwood pole, the steel spearhead flickered in a row of cold light, drowning the chaotic Qingzhou soldiers, and the first layer of defense directly collapsed, only to hear the sound of impact into the flesh, the sound of the spear shaft breaking, and the sound of men and horses colliding.
They were all veterans of the battle formation, and they instantly abandoned their spears and drew their long knives, formed a squad, and slashed and killed in an organized manner, with blood and skulls flying.
There are also dozens of fierce warriors roaring backlash, but it is still the courage of a horseman, how can the enemy be able to block and greet at the same time with four or five long knives?
Even if you desperately slash at the red armored cavalry, you will also cut a mark on the red paper armor - the most feared thing about the strong stacked paper armor is to cut, followed by arrows, and then spears, which have little defensive effect on the heavy armored soldiers.
But the heavy armored soldiers are extremely expensive and used to arm the descendants and are insufficient, this batch of cannon fodder Qingzhou soldiers, Cao Cao will be willing to match the heavy armored soldiers?
On the other hand, there are a few guys armed with wooden sticks—large hardwood clubs, or even wooden maces—that can use heavy weapons and are powerful enough to pose a great threat.
But because of this, he was urgently greeted by Huang Zhong and the archers, and he died the fastest.
The sorcerer who was behind looked away from this killing, staring into the void, only to see the military qi of these two armies, the red qi burned and swept away, and the black qi collapsed one after another.
In fact, it is also like this, it is not a quality at all, and it can be shown in a large-scale confrontation, and it did not collapse immediately in a small-scale attack, even if this Qingzhou soldier has a bit of a spirit of resistance.
"Look at it, it's Liu Yuanjun, Liu Yuanjun has come to the rescue of us-"
As the red-armored cavalry rushed into the dock fort, the family soldiers who were still holding out in some defensive strongholds, at this time, most of the professional warriors were killed in battle, but a few armored swordsmen shouted.
This seems to be a scholar who has learned here, but his swordsmanship is not bad, and being the last little resistance core suddenly boosted the morale of the soldiers.
Together with the remaining undead people, everyone mustered up Yu Yong to recoil: "Kill all the thieves"
Cao Hong woke up in shock and saw this, spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted, the guards shrank their teeth to resist, and the chaos of the Qingzhou soldiers continued to expand, these did not have the courage to fight desperately to protect their families, and there were a lot of casualties, and the blood in his eyes was darkened, and his face was as colored as earth.
"Please kill all these jackals," the soldiers roared, and the surrounding people roared, their eyes hateful and blood-red: "Kill them all"
"Surround them and leave no one behind" Huang Zhong ordered solemnly, and when he saw these Qingzhou troops shouting and resisting, he looked back at a sorcerer who accompanied the army.
The spiritual power in the hands of this magician gathered, and when it collapsed, it turned into a dazzling light in the night, and the sun pierced the eyes, dazzling the thieves for a while.
"Shoot"
The cavalrymen had already prepared to change back to their crossbows, and for a time they shot down, killing for a while, and then the horsepower recovered a little, and they swung their swords and charged up.
Huang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, under the torch, his demeanor was serene, and he coldly ordered: "The cavalry seal this place, all Qingzhou soldiers, see one and slaughter another, and no one is allowed to go out of the city."
The "killing" red fire ignited, a miserable cry, terrifying, Huang Zhong bathed in the blood-red fire and remained motionless.
The sound of killing gradually subsided, and soon it was all killed, and only one Cao Hong was escorted over.
"Hmph, pick the tesudon and tie it up" Huang Zhong sneered.
"No...... You don't want to die well...... Ah" Cao Hong screamed miserably, and even the sorcerers on the ground were dumbfounded: "This, it seems too ...... It's too much."
"It's too much, look" Huang Zhong pointed not far away, only to see that the head of the family had been killed, but there were still a few sons and nephews, and two or three scholars came to thank him.
Some of the women wept and bowed down in the distance, some of them disheveled, supporting each other, which made people look pity.
The fort was badly damaged, but fortunately it came in time and was not destroyed, and it was still a good garrison and supply depot
Although the red armor cavalry was elite, they were also exhausted by this time, cleaned up the battlefield, and arranged to rest after eating.
The aftermath is to be handed over to the local government, which is the benefit of gaining the support of the local people, and since the dock fort is broken, Huang Zhong persuaded them to move to Tancheng, and it is their own business to listen to it or not.
All the captured armor and weapons were not used by the cavalry, and Huang Zhong sold them to this dock fort at a low price according to the plan: "You can equip them to fight against the Cao thieves."
Several sons and nephews were overjoyed, and the You bachelor glanced at each other, didn't say anything at this time, turned around and discussed privately: "I see... Every time I go to a village or a fort, the amount of local resistance to Cao Li is connected like a bead
"This elite cavalry is unusual, but the key is that it still plays the role of a tough red line, as long as it ensures that the local resistance to Cao is not eliminated, it can make the Qingzhou soldiers continue to lose blood. ”
"Tut-tut, Liu Yuanjun has a good calculation...... Save the strength that dared to resist Cao's army, and kill each other with the Qingzhou soldiers, and Xuzhou hate Cao and pro-Liu ...... from then on"
"It can't be all conspiracy theories, this Cao thief is acting rebellious in Xuzhou, it is really the anger of people and gods, Liu Envoyjun is a benevolent gentleman, just conforming to the will of the people. ”
"Brother Ren said this very much, he is thinking about it......"
Stationed in the dock fort, arranged to be on duty in the middle of the night, and there was nothing to do all night.
The next morning, Huang Zhongxiang inquired about the local situation, and was about to set off, when he heard a sorcerer student rush over: "The general's news plate shows that General Zhou is surrounded by Cao's army in the south, please ask the general to support."
This is the newly established Taoist Academy to recruit students in Yuzhou, and those who can be put into the army for internship at this time are all outstanding, most of them themselves are a little magical, only lack of systematic guidance and combat practice, and there will be no mistakes in reporting the information on the board.
"Let's go ......" Huang Zhong said for a moment, looking at the warlock who accompanied the army: "Can the Dao Master still hold on?"
The military general in front of him was already half a step away, and the magician didn't dare to hold it up, saying, "After resting, it's okay." ”
"Okay, the whole army obeys the order and turns south—"
