Chapter 298 Revenge War

The strength of Liu Fengbu's army is already invincible in the world, especially the Jingzhou Legion, which is even more unstoppable.

However, such a strong army suffered a heavy blow from Ma Chao's army in the battle of Heyang, and even the general Samoke was killed in that battle.

This is one of the few victories between Liu Bei and Liu Feng several times. The person who completed this victory is Xiliang Lion Ma Chao.

So Ma Chao has confidence in himself. He is convinced that if he can defeat Wei Yan, he will definitely defeat Liu Feng.

The 100,000 troops seem to be vast, but as long as one place is broken through by his Xiliang iron horse, it is not impossible for the whole line to collapse.

Ma Chao's self-confidence gave Liu Bei hope. At this moment, his eyes flashed with excitement and asked, "Meng Qi, do you really have the confidence to defeat Liu Feng?"

Ma Chao said proudly, "Liu Feng is my defeated general. As long as the king dares to fight to the death, I, Ma Chao, will take Liu Feng's head to repay the king's kindness."

With Ma Chao's guarantee, Liu Bei's confidence doubled. He suddenly stood up and rekindled the fire of resentful revenge in his eyes.

"It's time for me and Liu Feng's new hatred with the rebels to settle the final account. Liu Feng, if you want to fight, I will fight with you!"

Liu Bei drew his sword, split the case into two parts with one sword, and shouted angrily, "Say my order. It is said that the whole army will attack, and I will fight to the death with Liu Feng."

Liu Bei's high fighting spirit has more or less stirred up a little waves in the hearts of the generals. Although these people are still uneasy, they can't help but say that Liu Bei is so impassioned.

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

The generals echoed in unison. Although their voices were not so loud, they were enough to be slightly inspiring.

On the same day, Liu Feng's decisive reply arrived at Liu Feng's camp.

Liu Bei's reply is very simple, with only one word "war".

The word "war" was written vigorously, as if to show the resentment of Liu Feng, but Liu Feng faintly saw a lack of confidence from it.

Liu Feng showed Liu Bei's reply letter to everyone and said with a smile, "Guys, Liu Bei has replied that it is a decisive battle. You can speak freely about how to fight this battle."

Liu Feng's voice fell, and Wen Ping said, "Liu Bei's major generals are few, and his morale is low. In terms of military tactics, it is not suitable for a decisive battle with our army at all. Now Liu Bei is actually willing to respond to the battle. With Liu Bei's old plan, I think there must be something in this.

The veteran Yan Yan sneered: "What else can Liu Bei do? It's just Ma Chao's 10,000 Xiliang cavalry."

Xiliang Cavalry.

When he heard these four words, Liu Feng immediately thought of Shamoke. The death of this adopted brother made Liu Feng deeply hate Ma Chao.

"General Yan, don't underestimate Ma Chao's Xiliang cavalry. Have you forgotten how General Wei was defeated by the Xiliang cavalry when he was on the north bank of the Yellow River, and how General Samo died in the hands of Ma Chao?"

Wenpin also participated in the battle, but he led the water army to ensure the smoothness of the floating bridge on the river.

On that day, Wen Ping witnessed with his own eyes on the river how Ma Chao's Xiliang Iron Horse easily defeated Shamoco's elite gait army. He still has a lingering fear for the power of Ma Chao's army.

The veteran Yan Yan smiled and said, "General Wen should not be bitten by a snake for ten years. Although Ma Chao is powerful, he is just an ant compared with our Duke of Song."

Yan Yan's words seemed to be suspected of flattering. Wen Ping didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, Liu Feng smiled faintly and said, "The old general is flattered. Ma Chao is still very capable. His fish scale shield array and javelin are really amazing, but fortunately, this is not our first fight."

As soon as he heard this, Wen Ping looked refreshed and hurriedly said, "Doesn't the Duke have a strategy to crack the horse super cavalry?"

Liu Feng nodded: "When Shamoke was defeated, I had been thinking about how to crack it. This time we were prepared to avenge Shamoke."

I heard that Liu Feng had a strategy to break the enemy. Not only Wen Ping, but also Zhang Yi, Ma Zhong and other generals in the account were all energetic.

Liu Feng's current response, as well as all the matters of the decisive battle, have been arranged, and the generals have their own orders.

The division has been completed. Liu Feng looked at the old and young faces in front of him, with determination in his eyes and shouted, "Guys, whether the world can be unified, and whether we can share peace with you and others. It's a battle in the morning. I hope you can stand side by side with me, and we will have a happy big kill!"

In the big tent, the passionate shout of killing sounded like thunder.

########## The next day was dawn, and all 100,000 troops left the camp, slowly advancing in the direction of Lantian.

Countless scouts traveled in the direction of Lantian and the army, passing back the latest movement of the enemy as quickly as possible. All the information shows that Liu Bei's army has also poured out.

It seems that Liu Bei's heart to fight to the death will not change.

More than 100,000 troops of the enemy and us stopped moving forward at a distance.

Under the empty sunny days, countless heads are densely squeezed in the wilderness of Guanzhong Plain, and the yellow and green land is set off by their black and red robes, which looks particularly dazzling.

Standing on the temporary pile of earthen mountains, Liu Feng looked down at his soldiers.

These soldiers, since they set out from Ye Cheng, their spirit and physical strength have been highly concentrated. Because it is not appropriate to transport grain from Nanyang to Wuguan, before the war, Liu Feng could not even let them have a full meal. Up to now, the word "tired" is written on each of their faces.

But these are no longer important. Chang'an City is in front of them. For many of them, this will be the last battle in their military career.

This is to say, this is their last chance to make contributions.

The great achievement of unifying the world is enough to make every general and soldiers take out their twelve points of spirit and work hard to complete their final performance.

With Tushan as the center, Liu Feng placed the most perfect formation in his life.

The Jingzhou army, which was supervised by 30,000 Yan Yan, crossed the front of Tushan, forming his front army.

The first row is 5,000 well-trained crossbowmen, the second row is the big shield hand, and the last few rows are spearmen.

These spears are all specially made, more than three or four feet than ordinary spears, with layers of arrays. The latter one puts the spears on the shoulders of the previous one, forming an insurmountable steel jungle.

The attack mode of the Ma Chao Legion is to throw a javelin at close range. This highly lethal weapon has strong penetration and a wide range of killing.

In order to cope with Ma Chao's javelin tactics, Liu Feng began to order Luoyang's craftsmen to quietly make a special shield as early as last year.

This kind of shield is composed of three layers. The outermost layer is cowhide, the second layer is a wooden board, and the innermost layer is iron.

Liu Feng has done many experiments. This three-layer mixed shield is enough to resist the javelin thrown by the cavalry javelin within 20 steps.

In addition, the crossbow matched this time is also the hardest crossbow collected from all over the country ordered by Liu Feng. Its string force is enough to shoot through the iron shield. These strong crossbows are Liu Feng's sharp weapons specially used to deal with the Ma Chao's fish scale shield array.

The combat mode of Ma Chao's Xiliang cavalry did not move with the ordinary cavalry. With the cover of the fish scale shield array, they slowly advanced to the enemy's array, and then the cavalry hidden in the array suddenly attacked and launched a javelin strike against the enemy at close range.

Liu Feng's arrangement of such a strong crossbow shield is just two advantages to restrain the horse super Xiliang cavalry.

Despite this, Liu Feng made back-the-back arrangements to prevent Italian meals.

He knew that after the war, the central army where Tushan was located must be the main direction of Ma Chao's cavalry, so he had a more thorough defense around Tushan.

In the center is the Yizhou Army led by Ma Zhong and Zhang Ni. It is composed of countless small phalanxes, with spearmen as the main force, stabbing the enemy from a middle distance, mixed with swords and shields in the middle to protect the spear soldiers, and at the same time with a small number of crossbowmen for long-range killing.

The only 3,000 cavalry that came with the army were also arranged in the battle, but Liu Feng did not let them get on the horse, but each of them led the horses to form a column, hidden in the hands of the spear.

Once the time is ripe, these three thousand cavalrymen will be able to launch an unexpected and fatal blow to Liu Bei's army.

The sound of the war drums sounded like thunder. Looking up from afar, I saw that in the opposite enemy's array, the military flag shook, and the fish scale array of more than 10,000 riders slowly pushed forward in the direction of the Chinese army where Liu Feng was.

The huge iron shield is stacked in layers, like impenetrable fish scales. When the sun shines, it reflects dazzling silver light.

Looking at it from afar, it seems that dozens of giant turtles are slowly crawling over. The hard tortoise shell made of iron shield hides all the enemies under it.

"Is this Ma Chao's fish scale? It's really amazing..."

In addition to Liu Feng's secret praise, he calmly ordered, "Send my order, and the whole army is ready to fight."

The flag of the Chinese army shook, and the army scouts ran back and forth, conveying the commander's orders layer by layer.

100,000 soldiers clenched the weapons in their hands, nervously, but they were determined to meet the impact of the enemy's horse.

Three hundred steps...Two hundred steps...The Xiliang Legion quickly entered the range of the long-range weapon. As the sound of the war drum intensified, the bowman pulled the bow and shot diagonally, and the first wave of arrow rain roared out.

As Liu Feng imagined, the rain of arrows as dense as locusts could not penetrate the enemy's iron shield at all. After tinkling the enemy's shields, they were bounced off one after another.

This was expected. Although Liu Feng knew that it was invalid, he still pretended to make the archer launch a long-range shot, in order to confuse Ma Chao and make him not know that he was ready.

A giant turtle walked forward easily against the rain of arrows, as if enjoying the baptism of raindrops.

One hundred steps... Seventy steps... The fish scale array finally entered the effective killing range of the strong crossbow.

The military flag shook, and the sound of drums suddenly changed rapidly.

Five thousand crossbow players raised the already open crossbow, and in a blink of an eye, countless crossbow arrows broke out of the air.
