Chapter 135: The Last Battle

Arrows, in the era of cold weapons, definitely have the highest status. It may not be the strongest cold weapon for destruction, but it must be an extremely expensive weapon of war.

The ability to use large quantities of copper or iron arrowheads is often an important indicator of the level of civilization. After the appearance of the crossbow, it changed the shape of the war almost like the appearance of the chariot. I remember that on Zhongnan Mountain, when the master explained to me the eighteen kinds of weapons, he took a book, and it was written that the crossbows of the Qin army had been widely equipped during the Warring States period, and the Han Dynasty developed a crossbow battle with the Xiongnu, and the famous general Li Ling of the Western Han Dynasty fired 500,000 arrows with 5,000 people.

In the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, arrows played an important role in the defense of legions and in the offensive movements that the nomads excelled at.

It is life-like for generals and soldiers. Even, it created a new art of war.

I'm a straightforward person, and what I don't like the most is a weapon like a bow and crossbow, which is far less enjoyable than fighting in person. But I don't like to use it, and others are helpless to use it.

At the moment, Cao Cao and I were standing by the river, with nowhere to hide. Seeing the rain of arrows in the sky, if you are not careful, you will be shot into a hedgehog. I unsheathed my long knife and jumped into the air with a loud shout, and the dragon slaying knife gathered with my inner strength, emitting indestructible qi. The big sword waved like a full moon, covering Cao Cao in the middle.

The bow and arrow struck in my knife curtain like flies that had lost their sights, but they were powerless to move forward. Outsiders seem to be easy, but only I know the hardship: if it is a few hundred bows and arrows, it is easy to say, but these tens of thousands of arrows are attacked together, and the target is Cao Cao, just like hundreds of martial arts masters are exerting their strength and stabbing me with spears. Although the longevity recipe in my body is endless, but when the manpower is finally exhausted, I only feel that the true qi in my body is gradually becoming jerky, and the chest cavity is not uncomfortable, the arrow rain stopped for a while, I fell to the ground, and spit out a mouthful of blood "wow".

When the enemy soldiers saw that I was wounded and landed, they all cheered in unison, and more than a dozen generals on the opposite side all fought against Cao Cao. At this time, Cao Cao's red banner was still erected by the river, and the enemy soldiers shouted in all directions: "Capture Cao Cao alive, capture Cao Cao alive!" The dense soldiers and horses rushed to the river, like locusts, and at this time Cao Cao had only more than 2,000 people and horses around him, and they were all surrounded by them. Cao Cao stood on the high place of the river with Daxu in his hand, awe-inspiring, and more than a dozen strong soldiers raised their iron shields to block the crossbow arrows around him.

Although Xu Chu was brave, he was also dominated by soldiers, but although he was wounded, he shot arrows and slashed and did not retreat. After a fierce battle for more than half an hour, tens of thousands of enemy soldiers took turns to attack, and Cao Cao's 3,000 elite soldiers had suffered more than 400 casualties, and more than 1,000 enemy soldiers were also killed and wounded by them. I looked around, but I saw the corpses of the enemy all over the battlefield, and the horses with no one on the saddle were scattered and galloping in all directions, but the feathered arrows of the enemy soldiers were strong and powerful. Seeing that the Yuan soldiers in the northeast corner were attacking particularly fiercely, and the defenders were gradually unable to resist, Xu Chu shouted: "Prime Minister, can you blow the trumpet?"

Cao Cao's eyes were like eagles, and he said, "The enemy soldiers are not tired yet, wait a little longer!"

At this time, I saw that Yuan Shao personally mobilized heavy troops to attack in the southeast corner, and erected three black poles, which were Yuan Shao's three sons. Under Yuan Shao's personal supervision, Cao Cao's personal soldiers still couldn't support it and retreated again and again. Xu Chu stood in front of Cao Cao and shouted, "Prime Minister, we can't resist!"

Cao Cao said angrily: "You are a pioneer officer, what kind of hero do you boast about if you can't stop it?"

Xu Chu's face changed color, and he rushed into the enemy formation with a roar, waving the big knife in his hand like a mad demon, killing a bloody path, and rushing straight to the front of the three-shot black sword. Yuan Shao saw that he was coming fiercely and returned to his horse to dodge, but Yuan Shao's three sons came to besiege Xu Chu. Xu Chu slashed down the three black poles, hugged him and turned around and left, and the third son of the Yuan family was shocked when he saw him so brave. But it can't be so easy for him to go!

The three of them fought with Xu Chu in a row. Xu Chuhu roared again and again, but he couldn't break through the encirclement of the enemy general for a while. But fortunately, the gap in the northeast corner of Cao Ying was plugged again.

At this time, more than a dozen generals saw that Xu Chu was entangled, roared and rushed towards Cao Cao from the front, they were skilled in martial arts, and killed dozens of personal soldiers in an instant. I pressed the injury, protected the incomparable qi of the Great Dream Spring and Autumn Season, and stood up with a sneer. The spear struck at me, and my sword changed, and there was a sword, but there were twelve changes.

That's 12 knives!

Swords hurt people!

An oncoming military commander didn't know how powerful I was, and a spear stabbed me in the neck, and when he came to me, he was split into two pieces by me with a knife. As soon as I came out with a sword, I did not exhaust all my remaining strength, did not advance but retreated, and rushed into the encirclement of the generals with my sword! Those more than ten people were not reckless, and when they saw that I was so brave, they formed a formation and helped each other.

I slashed at anyone with a big knife, and the generals on both sides of him came to the rescue, which is equivalent to any move, and the three of them beat me and one of them, but I was also entangled.

After a long battle, a black-robed general suddenly came out of the enemy army in the southwest corner, and the arrows were not missed, and Cao Bing was shot down more than ten people one after another. Two of Cao Cao's own generals knew very well, and rushed towards the man with spears, but he swooped two arrows and knocked them off their horses.

Cao Cao was arrogant and praised him: "Good archery skills!"

As he was talking, he saw the black-robed general rushing close to Cao's circle, and an arrow was shooting at Cao Cao's chest when the bowstring sounded. If it weren't for his martial arts skills and quick to see the opportunity, this arrow would probably kill him. Cao Cao was hit by an arrow, and then another arrow came again, shooting straight at Cao Cao's abdomen. I saw that the situation was critical, and I even made a killing move, and only then did I get out of the encirclement, only to see that the arrow was like the wind, and it was about to hit Cao Cao!

Cao Cao hurriedly lifted the reins of the horse, and the mount stood on the ground, and the arrow was so powerful that it was inserted from the horse's chest, piercing through the featherless, and the horse fell to the ground. Cao Bing saw that the commander was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse, everyone was shocked, and at this time, Yuan Jun rushed up like a tide in the shout.

I jumped over, and a "broken waterfall knife" repelled the first wave of soldiers who came up, and I kicked hard with my left foot, soaring up, and the long knife quickly rolled to kill a bloody road. Straight to the black-robed general, I have been in Yuan Shao's army for a long time, but I don't remember such a figure. If you don't kill him, Cao Cao's life seems to be difficult to protect this time!

When the black-robed general saw me coming, he pulled out three arrows with one bow and shot at me in three ways. I dodged sideways and slashed at the black-robed general from above, and he hurriedly fell off his horse, but I slashed the horse in the belly, and the horse immediately fell. When I saw that he had lost his horse, I didn't chase him, but turned over to save Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's face was pale, obviously losing a lot of blood, but he still smiled: "Good brother, there is really you!"

I asked, "Is it okay to blow the trumpet?"

Cao Cao looked at the situation in the field and said, "The enemy army is not tired yet, support it for a while." ”

He took a horse, scrambled to the saddle, and shouted, "All the soldiers are with me!" The people saw that he had been shot by an arrow, and fell from his horse, and they did not know the extent of his injuries, but at this time they saw him re-mounted his sword, and stabbed three Yuan soldiers to death with his sword, and they all rose up again.

When Yuan Jun saw Cao Cao re-marching on his horse, he couldn't help but be angry and took it, and the offensive slowed down. Cao Cao saw that the enemy was weak, and shouted: "Raise the trumpet, blow the trumpet!" In the shouts of the soldiers, one of the guards stood on horseback and lifted Cao Cao's red daqi high, waving it slowly, and the horn whined.

The sound of killing shook the sky, and ten soldiers and horses came out in the distance, and the troops rushed over like thunder!
