Chapter 111 Death Battle
"Your Majesty, it's really useful to deal with tigers and leopards!"
Looking at the tiger and leopard riding in the distance, Zhang Ren was also happy. Yes, one of the secret weapons prepared by Zhao Feng is the hook sickle gun, which is used to deal with Cao Wei's tiger and leopard rider. Among those obstacles, there are also 2,000 meters of elite soldiers who use hook sickles. When the other party rushes into the corridor, they immediately chop the horse's legs with the hook sickle. As long as one of the horse's legs is cut off, it must fall to the ground. Unexpectedly, he may even be killed by a fall.
"It seems that Cao Zhang is also here!" Zhao Feng did not take over Zhang Ren's words, but muttered. Zhang Ren's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Last time I fought in Xuchang, Cao Zhang was not my opponent, but he ran away because he was easy to run away. In this battle, he must be good-looking!"
"Well, justice, you lead 10,000 armored soldiers to help them stabilize the situation!" Zhao Feng nodded, and then Zhang Ren led 10,000 unprecedented flying troops in rattan armor to fight forward. At this time, the tiger and leopard riders had recovered and knew that someone was playing tricks on their next three roads. Therefore, the cavalry who fell off the horse, as long as they could continue to fight, hurriedly fought with these hook and sickle soldiers. The reason why Tiger and Leopard Riding is elite is that almost everyone has a hundred general-level martial arts. Even if you fall off the horse, you can continue to fight.
There are only more than 2,000 hook sickle shooters, but there are 10,000 tigers and leopards. Now only a few hundred people have fallen to death. If they continue to fight normally, these two thousand hook sickle soldiers will be submerged by these hundreds of generals sooner or later. Naturally, Zhao Feng will not sit back and watch them be submerged. In fact, as the first line of defense against tigers and leopards, Zhao Feng also has enough money for them: everyone is equipped with rattan armor. Since that year, this baby has paid tribute to 5,000 sets of Nanzhong. Over the years, he has worked overtime to make more than 10,000 pieces in total. This time, Zhao Feng's expedition has taken almost all of them with him. This kind of rattan armor is light and imperceptable. Except for being afraid of fire, there are almost no shortcomings. It is a little luxurious to equip all the soldiers, but as the first hook and sickle, it is naturally just right to equip.
As for the hook sickle gun, it was also Zhao Feng who thought about it after thinking about it. In the previous life, in the Water Margin and Yue Quan's biography, the infantry used a hook and sickle gun to deal with the cavalry. In fact, the prototype of this hook and sickle gun is the square halberd, but there is no systematic use at this time. Zhao Feng also learned this hook and sickle when he was practicing martial arts in his previous life, and knew that it had eight uses such as hook, dialing, plucking, paying, saving, spliting, fighting and grabbing. Therefore, Zhao Feng had already selected 2,000 elite soldiers from the elite soldiers in Danyang to teach the hook and sickle in person. Once it is used today, it is really handy.
"Hey!" Cao Zhang saw a flaw in Guan Xing, and the halberd cut directly at his left shoulder. Unexpectedly, Guan Xing did not dodge, but directly stabbed Cao Zhang's lower abdomen. Cao Zhang sneered when he saw the situation: Do you want to play with me? Wait for me to cut off your left arm and see how you can get into the knife.
With a "Cang", Cao Zhang's powerful knife cut Guan Xing's left shoulder as he wished, but he could not cut Guan Xing's left shoulder, but slipped to one side. Cao Zhang was shocked and stunned. Guan Xing's big knife had already stabbed his lower abdomen.
"Hey!" In his busy schedule, Cao Zhang still hurriedly dodged. After all, this knife did not kill him, but it also pierced his abdomen, and then cut a knife on his lower abdomen, bleeding. Cao Zhang knew that he was not seriously injured, but at this time, he could not tolerate dressing the wound calmly and hurriedly fought against the fierce Guan Xing.
"Cao Zhang, die!" A figure passed by Guan Xing, and then the real gun move had been handed over. Zhang Ren?" Cao Zhang looked at the short and thin yellow man in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. Zhang Ren is not a rookie of Guan Xing. His martial arts are only above himself. Now that I'm injured, I don't have to fight anymore. However, what surprised him more was that the enemies around him seemed to be invulnerable, and they could not be killed no matter how they killed them.
"Your Majesty, they can't kill you!" A soldier next to him said in panic and was immediately stabbed to death by Zhang Ren. Cao Zhang only saw the cold sweat on his forehead: Now the situation around him is very embarrassing. If the tigers and leopards ride straight on the horse, then the opponent's obstacles and hooks and sickle guns are here, and it is difficult to rush up. If they get off the horse to fight, in the face of these undead weirdos, even if the tigers and leopards are all 100 generals, the defeat is determined.
"What should I do!" Cao Zhang suddenly became anxious. Thinking about the history of Wei Yan and Zhao Yun, when they first met the rattan armor soldiers, they were also caught off guard. Now Cao Zhang has no way, and it's normal. Cao Zhang can't do anything, which doesn't mean that Cao Hong can't do anything. As a bystander, he saw that the tiger and leopard horse was very embarrassed now, and quickly ordered the tiger and leopard rider to withdraw first.
"Hu Qiying, go to me!" While collecting the troops, Cao Hong sent the Huqi camp to prepare for his own tiger and leopard riding. But at this moment, Zhang Fei also moved. Under his command, with Yan Yun's 108 cavalry as the leading force, all the cavalry rumbled up. When there was still one end of the distance between the two sides, it was as if they had made an appointment, and both sides couldn't help riding and shooting. A shower of arrows passed, and a group of people fell down.
"Gunion, how can they ride and shoot?" Zhang Fei scolded angrily. He didn't know that Huqi Camp was composed of Xianbei people. These nomads on the grassland were simply familiar with bows and crossbows. Zhang Fei's Guanzhong cavalry is not necessarily better than them in terms of combat effectiveness. But in fact, even if the combat effectiveness is not dominant, Zhang Fei still has a good chance of winning this battle. The reason lies in morale.
Cao's army's punishment for traitors and soldiers is quite serious. As mentioned earlier, Cao Wei's soldiers have records. If you are confirmed to defect to the enemy, your family will also be used as slaves or hard labor, and the property will also be confiscated. A large part of Zhang Fei's 20,000 elite riders are still the legacy left by the Xiahouyuan era. For Cao Wei's group, they are all soldiers. Before this time, Zhang Fei specially promised that as long as he took Hebei, he could restore their families to freedom. With such encouragement, these people naturally fight to the death. In contrast, most of the people in the Huqi camp in Qianshao are ethnic groups such as Xianbei and Wuwan in northern Xinjiang. These people have a limited sense of belonging to the battle between the Han people. When they meet such a desperate opponent, they don't want to work hard.
"It's almost done. I don't think the three generals and justice will lose for a while. Now it's our turn to kill Cao Hong!" Zhao Feng looked at the two fierce battles in front of him. After receiving the support of Zhang Ren's 10,000 flying army, the tiger and leopard horse had been completely dragged into the quagmire. Even if Cao Zhang can escape the disaster, there is only half of the tiger and leopard riding at most.
And my current task is to take the opportunity to bully Cao Hong's remaining 60,000 steps. Let's go together!" With Zhao Feng's order, Zhang Bao, Lei Tong, Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi, Ma Zhong and other generals all followed him. Seventy thousand soldiers formed six huge arrays and rushed to Cao Hong's infantry camp with a ferocious smile.
"Zhao Botao, this fighter catches it well!" When Cao Hong saw the oncoming enemy, he also snorted coldly. At this time, Zhang Fei's Guanzhong Jingqi and Qian Shao's Hu Qi were inseparable for a while, and after Cao Zhang withdrew from the obstacle and fought with the other party, the hook and sickle could no longer attack so coldly. In the face of the condescending way of playing with tigers and leopards, the pressure of the forward-free flying army is also not small. After all, rattan armor is an anti-sword, but after all, it is not completely exempt from physical damage. After paying attention to avoiding direct slashing, the tiger and leopard rider took advantage of its condescending horse to strengthen the attack on the undefenseed face and head, which also achieved a certain effect. Although it is still downwind, it is no longer as passive as it was just now.
There are two stalemates. If you can make a breakthrough in this place, it will not be a problem to defeat Cao Hong. Thinking of this, Zhao Feng also ordered the whole army to attack and kill Cao Hong's army array, and after the latter saw that he was killing with a front arrow, the surname Suo also set up a front arrow and collided with each other.
The sound of "Ban Bang" sounded continuously, and the following scene confirmed the previous detailed intelligence: Cao Jun did not have combat experience. Under this kind of face-to-face hard rush, their formation platoon was relatively loose. As a result, many people were knocked away and separated from the army. In contrast, their opponents, the experienced Sichuan army and the Guanzhong army, will never let go of such a good opportunity to directly surround these small pieces of the enemy and destroy them.
The sound of shouting, screaming, and the sound of the blades intersect one after another, and all kinds of voices filled the wilderness. If there is only this step, Zhao Feng can defeat Cao Hong effortlessly. However, after he threw himself into the battle, the tiger and leopard riding with Zhang Ren also got a part of the pawns to deal with Zhao Feng. Although there were not many people, they made full use of the advantage of cavalry's flexibility over infantry, and from time to time they attacked Zhao Feng's rear army, making them unable to launch an offensive against Cao Hong.
"Damn it, I knew that I would have left some people to deal with Cao Zhang!" Zhao Feng scolded in his heart, and at the same time, he waved a long gun, and the two opposite enemies fell down like this. But he forgot that he did have a part of the reserve team.
Zhang Ren is also very anxious. More than 7,000 people under his command, after having the equipment of rattan armor and hook and sickle guns, although they did not fall behind in the battle with the other party in the obstacle area, they even had a little upper hand. But after all, the other party is faster than his own feet. Now if the other party wants to fully support Cao Hong, he can't stop the other party. Not to mention that they can't catch up, as long as their own people easily leave this obstacle zone, the other party's cavalry can calmly accelerate, and an impact can hit themselves away.
So now, a strange and fragile balanced situation has formed in the battlefield. Under the frontal impact of Zhao Feng, Cao Hong is certainly in danger. But with Cao Zhang's support, Cao Hong can still take this breath. And if Cao Zhang's support is fierce, he can't face Zhang Ren. As for Qian Shao and Zhang Fei on the other side, one is a soldier and the other has a high fighting spirit, but it is difficult to win or lose for a while. At this time, it was past noon, and the sun was hot in summer. Generally, no matter how hard-working farmers are at this time, they will wait at home when they are a little weak before coming out to work, but there are hundreds of thousands of people in the wilderness.
On this point, everyone in the war has no time to pay attention to it, but Tian Yu, who is on the side, knows it. After watching for a long time, Tian Yu immediately led his more than 8,000 cavalry to launch. He did not attack anyone directly, but took a detour to Cao Hong's rear army.
