Chapter 26 The Final Battle

"Brother, this is the tiger and leopard riding!" Looking at the aggressive tiger and leopard riding, Guan Yu whispered. Liu Bei nodded, and his always calm face also changed color. From that indomitable momentum, Liu Bei knew that this tiger and leopard rider was definitely more powerful than any military horse he had touched before. If you rely on your own manpower alone, you can certainly repel him, but it will inevitably take a lot of effort. Fortunately, you have been prepared.

"Third brother, you lead the Fengyun cavalry to fight first. Calculate the itinerary. Zilong and Bo Tao are almost there!" Liu Bei said lightly. That's right. Liu Bei did not intend to rely on his troops in the Central Plains to solve Cao Qian's tiger and leopard riding at the beginning. After Pang Tong proposed a siege plan, Liu Bei ordered the transfer of thousands of Xiliang iron riders from Zhao Yun in Hanzhong to help the battle, so that Zhao Feng and one of them could come with him. It can be said that except for Xu Huang, who took the initiative to give up Shanyang to retreat to East County, everything is under the control of Liu Bei. In this way, Cao Wei retreated calmly for another day or two. Zhao Feng, Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, Ma Dai and others hurried, but they could only barely catch up with the battle.

"What the eldest brother said is not bad, and only the Xiliang iron horse can deal with the tiger and leopard horse!" Guan Yu nodded. Cavalry is different from infantry. It mainly depends on the power of cavalry, and most of it depends on the impact of cavalry and horses. Tigers and leopards are equipped with good horses from Bingzhou and Liaodong, so they are better than Liu Bei's Central Plains horses. Now Xiliang Iron Horse is equipped with Xiliang Horse, and its surname can be better than Bingzhou and Liaodong Horse. In Liu Bei's army, when Zang Ba guarded Shangyong last time, he got thousands of good horses. In addition, Guan Yu captured Zhang Xiu and exchanged them with grain with Zhao Feng, which was generally less than 9,000. Except for the replacement of the mounts of some important generals, there are only 7,000 left. Last time, Liu Bei lent almost all the 7,000 horses to Ma Chao, plus the original 4,000 Sichuan cavalry, which helped him regain Xiliang. After receiving the order, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yun immediately mobilized the remaining 6,000 Xiliang iron riders from Hanzhong through the three counties of Hanzhong to Nanyang, and then to Yuzhou to help in the battle. They rushed nearly ten days in a row and will catch up with this battle.

"Third brother, it all depends on whether you can hold on first!" Liu Bei looked at the approaching tiger and leopard horse and solemnly said to Zhang Feidao. The latter rarely said nothing, but nodded. Looking back at the more than 10,000 cavalry behind him, and the thousands of white horses who came with Wei Yan, Zhang Fei knew that it was up to see if he could drag the tiger and leopard riding first to buy time for the army.

"Kill me!" Before the tiger and leopard rode rushed to the front, Zhang Fei roared, and then led the cavalry behind him to take the initiative to meet him. With himself and his Yanyun 108 cavalry as the core, all the cavalry formed a sharp array, ready to collide with the tiger and leopard cavalry. Although the crane wing array can be used to strengthen the defense, in this way, Liu Bei and others will be forced to passively defend with themselves, thus missing the good opportunity to annihilate Cao Xen. And if it is a struggle, the other party can leave himself alone and embarrass Liu Bei's ped. Therefore, after thinking about it, Zhang Fei really has no choice now except for the tough confrontation.

"Well, Zhang Feipifu, brave but resourceful, how dare you collide with my tiger and leopard?" Cao Chun looked at Zhang Fei who took the initiative to kill him, but his heart was full of disdain. In his opinion, if he dares to collide with the tiger and leopard, he will be completely scattered like Yuan Tan.

With a bang, a Fengyun horse and a tiger and leopard collided. As Cao Chun expected, the impact of the tiger and leopard horse was definitely stronger than Zhang Fei's Fengyun horse. However, the court was not completely one-sided. Under the leadership of Zhang Fei, Fengyun Riding Army and Bai Ma Yi relied on the sharp saber, and also fought closely with the tiger and leopard riding, and not all of them were knocked away. After all, you are a sieve, and you can't do it without missing anything.

"Kill!" Zhang Fei roared, as if he had struck a crash in half a day. The eight-foot snake spear in his right hand was handed out and stabbed the iron armor of one of the other party's uncles. The remaining power of the snake spear was not bad, and he was abruptly pierced. Another knight riding a tiger and leopard on the side saw that it was cheap. Before Zhang Fei's spear was pulled out, he raised his long gun and poked him in the back heart.

"Wah!" Zhang Fei roared and didn't need to pull out the snake spear. His left hand took the opportunity to pull out the saber at his waist. He did not look back. He directly cut it off with a knife with his backhand and cut off the man's head. There are more than a dozen bodies beside him.

"General San, these guys are so awesome!" After Gao Lan killed a person with a knife, he also gritted his teeth and cursed. These tigers and leopards were dressed in heavy iron armor. Gao Lan killed several people, and their hands were a little numb. In the face of these iron pimples, once surrounded, it is definitely a death.

Zhang Fei was waiting to speak when he felt a fierce murderous atmosphere attacking him. Almost by instinct, Zhang Fei crossed the eight-foot snake spear in his hand and opened the other party's move. After a loud noise, Zhang Fei stepped back a few steps, and his body shook.

"Xu Chu!" He recognized that the person who attacked him was Xu Chu, who had a war under Xuzhou 13 years ago. The fighting spirit in Zhang Fei's chest suddenly burned. Although Xu Chu was a sneak attack just now, he could force Zhang Fei to take a few steps back. This kind of martial arts should never be underestimated. Zhang Fei also knew it. He clenched the snake spear in his hand and began to prepare to fight to the death with this rare enemy in his life.

"Zhang Fei, die!" Xu Chu's sneak attack was useless. He, who was impatient, couldn't wait to say too many scenes. With a roar, Shanjun Dao split Zhang Fei with an indomitable momentum. The latter pulled out the eight-foot snake spear and began to fight with it. With the two of them as the center, the rest of the people within a few feet can't get close at all. If they are unfortunately pushed forward by the fierce army, they will soon be cut into a pile of incomplete limbs by the fast-flying Shanjun knife and the eight-snake spear, and the two people who are fighting fiercely will hardly be affected by anything.

"Kill!" On the other side, the soldiers led by Li Dian and others also fought fiercely with the rest of the generals under Liu Bei. Wei Yan, Li Dian, Xiahou Dun, Huang Zhong, these famous generals all gave full play to their military talents in this rare melee. The battlefield was quickly cut into small pieces. Cao Jian's people and Liu Bei's people had been completely strangled together, and the red and black military uniforms on both sides were mixed together.

"How dare this Zhang Fei defend the tiger and leopard horse head-on?" On the dirt slope in the distance, Cao Wei looked at Zhang Fei's almost death-seeking behavior, and there was also a trace of movement on his face. It's not only because of Zhang Fei's crazy behavior, but also because he didn't collapse after taking over the battle with the tiger and leopard. It is true that Zhang Fei was entangled by Xu Chu, but under the command of Zang Ba and Gao Lan, the Fengyun cavalry and Bai Ma Yicong were still tenaciously resisting the tiger and leopard cavalry. The fierce battle made even Cao Wei, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, was surprised.

In the fierce hand-to-hand combat, every tiger and leopard rides down, at least one opponent will be buried. Although this is not a loss, or even more advantageous, Cao is not satisfied with just such a comparison of casualties. He is very clear that if he can't give full play to the unparalleled impact of the tiger and leopard ride, he can't give full play to his advantages.

However, under the entanglement of Gao Lan and Zang Ba, Cao Chun has never had the opportunity to gather tiger and leopard horses to charge. Zhang Fei's sharp battle was tough. Although he paid the price of 2,000 casualties in an instant, he successfully dragged Cao Chun into the quagmire of the position. Cao Qian looked at the situation on the field. The performance of the Fengyun cavalry was much better than when he was in Xuchang a few months ago. After all, after the baptism of that battle, their combat effectiveness was also being enhanced.

"Father, let me lead people to help General Xu and others!" Looking at the last three thousand tigers and leopards behind him, Cao Zhang took the initiative to ask. Behind him were Cao Xiu and Cao Hong who rubbed their hands. Cao Qian didn't say anything, but Liu Ye, a counselor beside him, stepped forward and said, "The third prince's surname is not urgent. At present, the fierce battle is in full play. Even if the third prince joins the battle group, it is difficult for a while. It will work when the army's war situation is clear, and then wait for labor to come out.

"But?" Cao Zhang was still about to say something. Just then, a melodious horn suddenly came from the south. Cao Zhang was stunned and looked south with Cao Yan. He There is no need for Xu Chu's hearing level. Cao Zhang understood that this was killed by at least tens of thousands of cavalry from the dust and the heavy sound of horses' hoofs when the other party's army came.

"Liu Bei really has a backhand!" Liu Ye sighed, but Jia Xu frowned slightly and said, "Where did Liu Bei get so many cavalry?" After saying this, Cao Wei couldn't help nodding his head. However, there is not much time for them to think about this issue now, because this aggressive cavalry is about to enter the melee between the southernmost cavalry. Although the tiger and leopard cavalry is the elite of the cavalry in the world, once the enemy has tens of thousands of cavalry to help, even if there is a peerless general like Xu Chu, the tiger and leopard cavalry will die today.

"Liu Bei can't have so many cavalry!" Cao Qian suddenly said firmly and turned to look at Cao Zhang and Cao Hong. Cao Qian immediately ordered, "Zilian, Zihe, Wen Lie, Er and others led the tiger and leopard horse and came forward to intercept this group of people with me!"

"No!" Cao Hong and others all responded to the promise, and then led the last 3,000 tigers and leopards to kill the mysterious cavalry killed in the dust.

"Bao, it seems that we are a little late!" Zhao Yun looked at the already chaotic battlefield in front of him and said with some regret.

"It's not too late. It's just right!" Zhao Feng took a cursory look and found that the field was in the stage of white heat. The pacers led by Liu Bei and Guan Yu have steadily taken the initiative in the battle with Cao's army; but Zhang Fei, a Fengyun cavalry, is a little difficult to continue in the battle with tigers and leopards.

"Go and help the three generals first!" Zhao Feng quickly drew up a strategy. Although he helped Liu Bei solve the battle on the side of the stepmen as soon as possible, it would be bad if he couldn't hold on. Zhao Feng decided to adopt a slightly safer strategy.

"Okay!" Zhao Yun also knew the stake in it, and did not argue that he directly led the army into the regiment. At this time, Cao Hong and others in the distance also killed one after another.

"Damn it, it's a mystery!" When Cao Hong was still dozens of steps away from this mysterious enemy, he couldn't help swearing. He saw clearly that most of the knights of this cavalry were tied with a bunch of branches on their tails and ran up and dragged to the ground. Naturally, it was dusty. As a result, this cavalry, which was only a few thousand people, was as powerful as tens of thousands of cavalry.

"Zhao Botao!" Before Cao Hong scolded again, Cao Xiu beside him had already roared and stared at Zhao Feng in the battle. He will not forget that it was this person who captured his husband ten years ago and cheated the whole city. Now that the enemies meet here, they are really jealous!

"Yo, they are all acquaintances!" Except for Cao Zhang and Zhao Feng, Cao Hong and Cao Xiu are old acquaintances. Now I saw that there were no other generals around me except Zhang Ren. With a greeting, the two of them came forward to fight with Cao Hong and others.

"It's on!" Zhao Feng crossed the barrel of the gun and opened Cao Hong's knife, and then took the opportunity to stab Cao Xiu, who was also in a hurry to catch the move. Over the years, Zhao Feng has not relaxed his martial arts cultivation. At present, his martial arts skills are no less than the level of the five tiger generals. Cao Hong and Cao Xiu are not enough for him to see. Therefore, one enemy and two are more attacks than defenders, and he is happy to attack with all his strength.

On the other side, Zhang Ren met Cao Zhang. One is the second disciple of Gun Shentongyuan, who has been immersed in silver for more than 20 years with a hundred birds and a phoenix gun. One year is rich and strong, and when he was a teenager, he went to the northern border to fight against aliens. Now, once these two people fight, they also show their magical power, and they fight for a while. However, like all scripts, the accident happened at this time.

After receiving Zhao Yun's help, the pressure on Gao Lan and Zang Ba was relieved a lot. It's not only because the Xiliang Iron Horse shared part of the pressure, but also because the Fengyun Horse Army was trained by Zhao Yun. Now it is under his command, but it is much more handy than Zang Ba and Gao Lan. With the help of Zhao Yun, the tiger and leopard riding gradually began to feel difficult.

"Death to death!" Suddenly, a wolf-toothed arrow shot at Zhao Yun's back heart in the fierce battle. Zhao Yun was like a long eye behind his back and directly dodged. Looking back, I saw that it was Cao Chun who put down the bow and arrow with hatred. Zhao Yun snorted coldly, and then turned the horse's head to kill Cao Chun.

"Stop with me, stop!" Cao Chun knew that he was definitely not Zhao Yun's opponent. Now he stared at himself for good luck. Suddenly, he felt like a mouse being chased by a cat and almost wanted to run away. However, as a commanding general and the creator of tiger and leopard riding, Cao Chun is naturally not so timid. Seeing Zhao Yun coming directly, Cao Chun also commanded the guards to intercept, and he did not withdraw from the battlefield. Zhao Yun also knew that he was the leader of the tiger and leopard horse. If he could kill him, it would be better than killing ordinary generals. But after several times of rushing, I returned in no a good job.

"What's the ability to hurt people with a hidden arrow? Eat me!" Just as Cao Chun ordered someone to block Zhao Yun, he only heard an angry scolding from the east. Turning around, it was a young general who called for himself. Looking at that, it is estimated that it is only in the early twenties at most.

Cao Chun did not know Ma Dai, because Ma Dai was not there when he fought in the last joint battle in Saibei. Seeing that such a little rabbit dared to fight with himself, he couldn't help but get angry. Seeing that Zhao Yun was blocked by the people in the north, he killed the little rabbit by himself to help morale. Thinking of this, Cao Chunyi urged himself to ** mount and danced the iron gun to take Ma Dai.

"You dog thief dare to plot my brother-in-law, die!" Ma Dai shouted and cut the big knife in his hand to Cao Chun. Cao Chun didn't care what he said in a mess, and directly waved his gun to fight together.

"Ah!"

With this scream, the upper part of Cao Chun, the leader of the tiger and leopard, left his buttocks and fell to the ground, while his lower body still rode steadily on the horse. However, not everyone has time to care about this now. Ma Dai, the originator, wiped the blood on his face and was ready to fight again, but he saw that many enemies looked at him with a stunned face and could not even take care of the war. This scene was very strange.

Seeing that the enemy was so stunned, Ma Dai couldn't help but be stunned.

After a long time, one person howled like a pig, "The commander is dead!" Then the rest of the people also howled. The talented Cao Chun fought with Ma Dai for more than ten rounds. He was weak and was stabbed to death by Ma Dai. The leader of the tiger and leopard rider was slaughtered by a little boy. Of course, if he knew that Ma Dai had killed the tiger when he was 14 years old, he would not have fought with Ma Dai so impulsively.

"Commander?" When Ma Dai saw the tiger and leopard knight howling like a mourning, he realized that he was killing an important role. Thinking that he had made such a great contribution when he first arrived in the Central Plains, Ma Dai was also overjoyed and quickly led the crowd to continue to kill.

Tiger and leopard riding is a rare elite in the world. Generally, no matter what dangerous situation happens, they will not flinch. But today, Cao Chun's death is not within this general situation, not only because Cao Chun is the leader of the tiger and leopard horse, but also because he is the founder of the tiger and leopard horse, and can even be said to be the spiritual leader of the tiger and leopard horse. Now that he dies like this, the military will inevitably be confused.

"Grandma, is Cao Chun dead?" A hoarse voice came from behind. Ma Dai looked back, but it was Zhou Tai, who had a relationship in Hanzhong. But when he saw him shaking his head, he looked very sorry, which made Ma Dai a little difficult to understand.

But soon Zhou Tai quickly solved his puzzle, "This man should die in my hands!" Zhou Tai slyed. Ma Dai couldn't help but get the black line on his forehead when he heard the words. He finally realized that there were really people in the world who were thick enough to be comparable to his eldest brother.

The tiger and leopard rode inevitably timidly, which was beyond Cao's surprise. It's not just Cao, "Why is the tiger and leopard riding messy?" Cao Pi was also quite surprised to see that tiger and leopard cavalry fled one after another. Cao Wei didn't say anything, but he already had an ominous feeling in his heart: if there is no big change, the tiger and leopard riding will not retreat.

"The tiger and leopard are defeated!" Zhang Fei separated Xu Chu with a spear, as if intentionally or unintentionally, and suddenly roared. More and more Liu Jun soldiers also began to roar. The roar became louder and louder, but the tiger and leopard rode away and ran away. Such a roar did not have much effect on them. Of course, it was not without reason for Zhang Fei's sudden loss. When he roared like this, Cao Jun's pace was inevitably a little confused.

The tiger and leopard were defeated! This voice soon filled the whole battlefield. Although the soldiers of the two armies who were fighting fiercely were busy, some people still took time to see what was going on there. As a result, they all saw that their tiger and leopard riders were retreating one after another. Such a situation can only show that they were defeated.

The tiger and leopard horse was defeated, Cao Jun's imperial card, the tiger and leopard horse that once ran rampant in the desert, was defeated.
