Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2353 Old wine in new bottles

Among known dangers and unknown risks, which one should be avoided first?
Seeing that Wei Yan's real body was finally revealed in front of his eyes, and there were obviously not enough hussars around, Zhang Xiao's heart jumped up suddenly, and then he gave the order to attack.

Although Zhang Xiao knows how powerful the hussars are, after all, Zhang Xiao has never really fought against Wei Yan in the strict sense from the beginning to the present. At the same time, the current situation in Hanzhong is indeed so urgent that there is no way to retreat... …

When they realize that there is no way out, some people will collapse because of this, and others will have a kind of courage called "the last stand", and it seems that the more people around you, the more courage you have .

If you retreat without a fight, even if you are safe now, you may be beheaded by Zhang Ze if you look back!
The Honggu Army Village was very small, and the two sides collided quickly.

The original old military village, even the gate of the village was almost like a decoration, and it was torn to pieces after two or three strokes, and the two sides directly entered the hand-to-hand link.

Although Zhang's soldiers are numerous and powerful, how could Wei Yan keep these messy characters in his heart?
Wei Yan led several soldiers holding their shields, lowered their center of gravity, and stabilized their feet. He raised the shield with his left hand to lift off the stabbing and chopping weapons of various colors, and then he moved forward smoothly, slashing with the long knife in his hand. Hit between the chest and abdomen of Zhang's soldiers on the opposite side.

The sharp saber brought up a patch of blood, then unscrewed it, and slashed down again.

Under the flying light of the sword, in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people fell down among the vanguard of Zhang's soldiers.

More Zhang's soldiers rushed in, and the archers in the back row began to randomly shoot into the military camp, and some even started to wrap cloth strips around the arrows, preparing for rockets...

There are a lot of people, and at some point there is still some reason.

Wei Yan's roar sounded suddenly, and he swung his long knife, blocking Zhang Xiao's soldiers like a door god!
One sword and one shield, both offensive and defensive, coupled with the thick armor and the sharpness of the sword, I saw Zhang's soldiers on the shields, striking sparks from time to time on Wei Yan's armor, but there was no way to make a practical breakthrough. One knife on the left and one knife on the right, the blood rained and the stumps were scattered!

Although Wei Yan's riding skills are not bad, he is stronger in foot combat. On horseback, Wei Yan can be said to be a quasi-first-class cavalier, but on the ground, Wei Yan is a stepper who exceeds the first-class level.

To some extent, Wei Yan, who is physically strong, is more like Guan Yu's trumpet.

If it weren't for a high-quality war horse like the red rabbit horse, it would be difficult to bear the huge body of Guan Yu, who focused on strength. On the contrary, a type with a moderate body like Zhao Yun might be a better configuration for a cavalry general.

Wei Yan was wearing heavy armor and was of a strong physique. He stood in front of Zhang's soldiers and swept a huge circle from left to right. It was obviously the side with a smaller number of people, but it seemed to be faintly suppressing Zhang's soldiers!
In addition, Wei Yan's soldiers advance and retreat in an infantry formation, which is already as natural as breathing, with a tacit understanding and seamless cooperation. On the other hand, Zhang's soldiers, even if they know the so-called method of infantry display, may not be able to do it when practicing. What do you think, but when it really works now, it feels awkward no matter what.

These Zhang's soldiers gathered in a group, hindered and pushed each other, so that not many could actually kill Wei Yan, so that Wei Yan could almost easily and freehand brushstrokes in the front of the battle. Bloody swayed a majestic and cruel picture!
In a blink of an eye, almost all the corpses of Zhang's soldiers could be seen all over the ground, and some soldiers who were injured but not yet dead screamed and struggled on the ground. Just such a short fight made Zhang Xiao lose There were nearly a hundred casualties, but Wei Yan didn't suffer much damage. This huge loss ratio made Zhang's soldiers lose the courage to continue to charge forward for a while!
Zhang Xiao yelled almost crazily: "Archer, come forward and shoot me!"Suppress Wei Yan!Pawns go around!Go around! 』Although Zhang Xiao is far behind Wei Yan and others to some extent, his basic battlefield ability is still a little bit weaker. Naturally, he commanded other people to wrap around from the other side, trying to pinch back and forth.

Zhang's soldiers swarmed up, howled and rushed to the other side, while Wei Yan was constantly suppressed by arrows, and had to adopt a conservative defensive posture.

At the same time, because the main target of Zhang's archers turned to Wei Yan, Wei Yan's subordinates who were originally behind the wall of the Honggu Army Stronghold reappeared and began to shoot Zhang Xiao's archers, causing Zhang Xiao to bow and arrow. From time to time, someone screamed and fell to the ground with an arrow.

On the other side of the military stronghold, soldiers from both sides also collided.

The sound of weapons and armor colliding with each other suddenly became louder!
The soldiers under Wei Yan are basically mountain soldiers with good equipment, but they don't have the stupid big and thick shields with sharp lower ends that can be smashed into the soil like ordinary infantry swords and shields. It's just a steel shield, so its defensive strength is not as good as that of a regular sword and shield player. Under the frenzied surge of Zhang's soldiers, some can't stand it.

The huge impact force caused the formation of Wei Yanshan soldiers to shake suddenly.

If they were really knocked out of the formation by Zhang's soldiers, given the superiority in numbers, they would really fall into a chaotic battle, and it would become a waste of human life for human lives. Obviously, Zhang's soldiers would gradually gain the upper hand.

Seeing that the mountain soldiers in the first row were about to be knocked loose, Zhang Xiao's soldiers were about to take the opportunity to rush into Wei Yan's formation, but a whole row of Wei Yan's soldiers who looked like a steel city wall bumped into him!
It was the soldiers who had been shooting with bows and arrows on the wall of the village. After receiving Wei Yan's order, they put down their bows, raised their shields and rushed over to support them.
One!

Lower the center of gravity, and lift the enemy's weapon upwards with the shield in your left hand!

two!
Progress, the long knife stabs out!

One!

Retract, lower the center of gravity, and meet the next wave of enemy attacks...

Almost all the mountain soldiers performed the same movement, just like Wei Yan's trumpet.

Under strict training, mountain soldiers use war knives, which are more stabs like large daggers, and use the sharp tip of the knife to break through the opponent's defense and cause brutal killings.

The reason is very simple, because if the chopping action is too large in the mountains and bushes, even if the length of the sword is shortened, it will still inevitably be accidentally hung on some branch, and the straight line piercing is relatively rare. Obstructed by plants.

The shield blocked, and then the sword flashed. In the blink of an eye, these mountain soldiers under Wei Yan's command blocked three times, stabbed three times, and reaped three rounds!

Under such repeated actions, even without any non-commissioned officers issuing orders, Wei Yan's soldiers can still keep the queue in order, like a killing machine, harvesting flesh and blood coldly and efficiently!
The screams of Zhang Xiao's soldiers resounded through the mountains, and the huge momentum that was finally formed was blocked by life and death, and he was killed so that he could not fight back!
Blood splattered.Screaming again and again.

These Zhang's soldiers felt as if they had hit a steel wall. Not only could they slash randomly, they could not cause damage to the opponent, but the knives and guns that bounced back might even hinder their own family members!
After seeing a whole row of his own soldiers fall down, the soldiers who came behind Zhang subconsciously retreated, and then squeezed together with the soldiers further behind, forming a huge lump, stuck in the middle of the road ...

Just when Zhang Xiao was jumping in a hurry, trying to deploy his troops again, suddenly, in the Red River Valley Road, there were bursts of sound of horseshoes, mixed with the neighing of war horses and billowing smoke, galloping from a distance. Come!

The Red River Valley may have been a wide channel hundreds of thousands of years ago, but due to changes in the earth's crust, the flow of water has changed, and the Red River has become a very small tributary here, and there will be cut-offs from time to time. The sand was baked by the sun and gradually hardened, as if forming a relatively flat road.

But if it rains, the fine yellow mud in the river will turn into a swamp, devouring the shoes of all those who dare to enter the area...

It is now winter, and there has been no rain for many days. Although the Red River channel is not as wide as that in the plains, there is no great pressure to launch the cavalry charge.

In order not to be exposed, Zhu Ling's cavalry hid far away. After receiving the signal from Wei Yan, they came out and appeared in front of Zhang Xiao and others!
All of a sudden, smoke and dust billowed up, and Zhu Ling's cavalry army turned out from the distance of the river, and they came rolling in, like thousands of troops and horses!

Hussars dominate the world with cavalry, and the sharpness of cavalry can be said to be the best at the moment. Whether it is cavalry on horseback or flying horses, they are all skilled soldiers, even when they go around the bend of the river , didn't seem to slow down much, and when he passed the curve and came straight, the speed of the horse reached the highest!
The horse's four hooves rolled, and the sound of hitting the ground seemed to shake the surrounding rocks and sand, and they fell down the slope!It was more like hitting the hearts of Zhang Xiao and the others directly, making the hands and feet of these Zhang's soldiers start to tremble with the rhythm of galloping horses!
I don't know who it was, but he uttered a heart-rending cry: "It's the hussars!" 』

"Hussars are coming!" 』

"Hussars are coming! 』

"Don't panic!Don't panic! Looking at the torrent of steel gushing out along the river, Zhang Xiao shouted not to panic, but he himself shouted in panic, "Archer!Where are the archers?Long guns, long guns array!Line up! 』

According to the infantry's code of conduct, when facing cavalry, it is undoubtedly the best way to deal with the pikemen as the barrier and the archers to shoot, but the current queue is scattered, and the archers are close to the army stronghold, so there is a way Saying that changing the queue can change the queue, and saying that changing the direction of attack means changing the direction of attack?
So no matter how correct Zhang Xiao's instructions are and how heart-piercing his voice is, the reality he is facing is still a cold slap on his face...

Zhu Ling, who had raised his war horse to the extreme, pointed his saber forward, "Kill!" 』

At the sound of the order, the hussars all bent down and half stood up, leaning forward slightly, lowering the center of gravity and at the same time matching the speed of the horse, so that the horse immediately felt the pressure on the back lessen, and immediately roared and sped up again. Gaining speed, rushing forward like an arrow!

And in the Honggu military stronghold on the hillside, Wei Yan also brought people out again!
All of a sudden, Zhang Xiao's soldiers were indistinguishable from the front and back, and the left and right movements were out of balance, and they became a mixed group.Everyone is yelling, everyone is looking forward to someone giving him instructions, but everyone is not in the mood to listen to any orders, and only wants to avoid danger as soon as possible and escape from the sword!
On the hillside, in the river, everyone pushed and bumped into one place for a while, the forward and the backward intertwined, no one could move, no one could command anyone!
Zhang Xiao was doing his best to let his subordinates wave the flags and issue orders, and was sweating profusely scolding the surrounding soldiers, trying to get these guys to regain their morale and complete the formation. A wave of malice struck, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Wei Yan standing upright on the hillside at some point, pointing his saber at him!There is even time to show his eight big teeth towards him, and smile!
Zhang Xiao's hair stood on end!

In the middle of the river, the first hussars had already put down the iron mask to cover the arrows. On the iron mask, there were painted green-faced ghosts or ferocious beasts. Amidst the clatter of horseshoes, their swords flickered coldly. , straight into Zhang Xiao's unformed array!
The crying and shouting of Zhang Xiao's soldiers instantly increased by an octave!

Zhu Ling stepped on the stirrups with his feet turned inward, holding the reins in one hand, supporting Takahashi's saddle, and swiping the saber in the other hand unceremoniously. The blood may take away part of the body, or even life!
Behind Zhu Ling, hundreds of hussars swarmed in, knocking Zhang Xiao's men into the air and slashing them, arousing earth-shattering screams and wailings!
Countless weapons fluttered, countless blood spattered, I don't know how many Zhang's soldiers were directly killed or injured in a short moment, and I don't know how many were trampled into flesh!

These chaotic Zhang Xiao soldiers gathered in one place were smashed to pieces by Zhu Ling's hundreds of cavalry, and they had no ability to resist.

At this moment, these soldiers under Zhang Xiao had the same thought, run away!
Run as far away as possible!

Wei Yan's formation defense was smooth, and Zhu Ling's cavalry attacked just right. With the cooperation of the two, the morale of Zhang Xiao's soldiers suddenly dropped to freezing point. How could there be any resistance?
There are sounds of weapons cutting into flesh and blood, mixed with the sound of bones breaking, and those involuntary incomplete sentence patterns from the depths of the body when facing death, only the sound of full fear, This made Zhang's soldiers even more courageous, and everyone was running wildly, fleeing in the direction away from these murderous gods, as long as they ran as far away as possible!

Zhang Xiao's general flag seemed to hold on for a while at the end, as if to show what "tenacity" is, but before it lasted half a stick of incense, it tilted and immediately fell down!

The whole of Zhang Xiao's troops dispersed with a bang, and there was no queue structure at all!

...Y(^o^)Y...

Yangping Pass.

When Zhang Xiao collapsed, Zhang Liao at Yangping Pass welcomed guests.

Fa rectification.

Because Zhang Liao controlled the area east of Yangping Pass, all Zhang's soldiers who were originally at Jinniu Road had to withdraw to Hanzhong, so there was no way to continue to clamp down on the exit of Jinniu Road, and of course Fa Zheng didn't need to spend any more The strength comes out of the way of the Taurus.

Of course, it is impossible for Fazheng to come alone, nor will he come empty-handed. He also brought a lot of supplies that Zhang Liao needed, including but not limited to food and grass...

Yangping Pass was attacked by kerosene bombs, and a fire broke out, which not only burned down the gate tower of the turret, sentry tower, but also blocked Zhang Liao's progress.

Strictly speaking, Zhang Liao could take advantage of the flames to make a strong attack. Doing so might be able to capture Yangping Pass, but obviously there would be a lot of losses, and at the same time, it would not be able to complete the overall strategy of General Hussars.

Therefore, after Zhang Liao showed his strength, he returned to the camp and waited for the opportunity to come.

Zhang Ze in Hanzhong had to face the most difficult choice, either to strengthen the defensive force of Yangpingguan, but he might continue to be burned in vain for several waves, causing heavy casualties.Because if Yangping Pass is not strengthened and support is not sent, the morale of Yangping Pass will not be raised under the threat of kerosene bombs.

And if reinforcements are sent, the already precarious situation in Hanzhong will be even more stretched and difficult to support, and maybe even bigger and more flaws will be exposed, and then it will collapse...

This is a situation where no choice is wrong, and no matter how hard you work, it will be a problem.Because I went in the wrong direction at the beginning, even if I worked hard, I was just struggling in the mud, and sooner or later I met the fate of death.

As for Zhang Liao's side, after receiving the support materials from Fazheng, they are even more affluent.

Originally, Jianmen Pass was built in the name of the name, and a lot of supplies were hoarded at the Jiange, and now they can be sent forward slowly.Although the Jinniu Road is still difficult to walk, after all the years of development, most caravans can go in and out of Sichuan, so it is not too difficult in comparison.

After the two met and handed over the supplies, Zhang Liao asked about Xu Shu's situation, Fazheng cupped his hands and said, "Xu Shijun has returned to Sichuan..."

"Chuanzhong..." Zhang Liao grasped the word keenly.

Fazheng smiled slightly and said, "A little clown..."

Zhang Liao nodded without asking further questions.

Know what you should know, and don't inquire about what you shouldn't know. Regarding this standard, Zhang Liao has always controlled it very accurately.

Because the matter in Sichuan and Shu is Xu Shu's task, and Zhang Liao's responsibility is to complete the task in front of him, just like lighting a bonfire at Yangping Pass, attracting all the moths around.

But right now, it is clear that the bonfire is not strong enough to attract enough people...

Zhang Liao said slowly, "I have a plan, I hope Cao will work hard..."

"The general is being polite, but please tell me!" "Fazheng raised his eyebrows, "I dare not obey orders..."
