I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 430 Gaining a Prestige

Although Zhang Fei has made great progress now, after all, the growth time is still a little short, and he is still too young, not yet thirty, so he has not reached the peak in terms of force.

Even if his current fighting style has changed, if he fights against Lu Bu in a fair state, the final winner will most likely be Lu Bu.

But it's a pity that Zhang Fei fought Lu Bu in an unfair situation. Zhang Fei had plenty of time to delay with Lu Bu, but Lu Bu didn't have time to waste time with Zhang Fei.

Moreover, the growth of martial arts is not the most important thing for a general who commands troops. For a general who commands troops and horses, his way of using troops, character, and vision are the most critical.

In history, when Zhang Fei was young, he made many mistakes because of his temperament. After middle age, Zhang Fei's disposition was much restrained compared with his fiery temper when he was young.

It is precisely because of this that he became a general under Liu Bei's command who is enough to guard one side after middle age, rather than a fierce general who charged into battle.

But for Zhang Fei now, the time before he reaches the highest level in history seems to be greatly shortened.

Lu Bu is very anxious now, if it were not for this fire, if it were not for the Hebei Army who kept rushing to support him, he would not mind competing with Zhang Fei.

At the beginning, he was also impulsive, and at the same time he felt that Zhang Fei was still the same Zhang Fei back then, maybe he would have a chance to make a quick decision.

Whoever wanted to end the battle at lightning speed failed to implement, but instead formed a tug of war, which made him fall into the quagmire.

This is really fucking bad luck.

……

On the other side, Song Xian, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng and others did not succeed in breaking through Liu Jian's formation!

You know, as the overlord of Hebei, with countless elite soldiers and generals around him, how could it be possible for someone to break through his important line of defense so easily?

And now Liu Jian has a very important person by his side.

Although he has never made a move, this person is enough to rank among the best in the world of Han in terms of ability and reputation.

This person is Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng from Nanyang.

Huang Zhong came to the front in person and led his troops to contend with Song Xian and Wei Xu.

In the Xianglin camp in Nichinan that year, Huang Zhong mainly commanded the crossbowmen and mountain warfare troops. Because the cavalry in the south was less and the combat power was not strong, the focus was different from that in the north.

In today's situation, it is indeed possible to give full play to Huang Zhong's strengths.

Liu Jian handed over the command of the remaining half of the Baiwu soldiers around him to Huang Zhong, and at the same time ordered Xia Houlan to assist him.

Before this battle, Huang Zhong taught Xia Houlan how to use field infantry to restrain cavalry.

The formation and combat power of soldiers are very important, but if you want to be able to step into the formation, the key point is to have weapons that fit your hand.

The amount of iron smelted is still very important to the soldiers.

Hebei built large quantities of spears and large shields, which are very effective in confronting cavalry head-on.

At the same time, with the help of strong bows and large sabers, the team will attack from the flanks, and cooperate with the front large shield and spears to smash the enemy's formation, the effect is very significant.

The cavalry team of Wei Xu and others was intercepted in front of the spear formation, and they couldn't charge in. Once the cavalry team lost the advantage of charging, they would gradually fall into the encirclement of the enemy's army formation.

Song Xian, Wei Xu, and Hou Chengsan will not be able to approach, and after being blocked, the Hebei Liannu army has already changed their weapons.

Afterwards, crossbow arrows rained down on the enemy's formation again!
I don't know how many knights died under the crossbow this time.

Afterwards, Huang Zhong personally led the long-sword soldiers to the front, beheaded the enemy soldiers, and reaped the soldiers.

This charge has exhausted the last strength of the Bingzhou Army, their morale has completely dropped to the bottom, and the current Bingzhou Army is unable to launch a third charge.

All that awaited them was defeat and scattered fleeing.

But obviously, Huang Zhong didn't intend to end it like this.

He took the lead and led the crowd to follow the defeated army. He made a sudden attack bravely, seeking to weaken the vital strength of the Bingzhou Army to the greatest extent.

The battle in the distance vaguely spread to Lu Bu's location. Lu Bu's heart felt like a knife was being twisted, and he was out of breath, but Zhang Fei just kept pestering him now.

Lu Bu was anxious, extremely anxious.

Now it's not a question of whether Liu Jian can be killed...

If Zhang Fei continues to pester him like this, he is afraid that his life will be thrown here.

In Lu Bu's heart, the six gods had no master, and when he didn't know what to do, Zhang Fei suddenly stopped his hands, and at the same time called his soldiers to surround him bravely.

Zhang Fei's actions naturally gave Lu Bu a chance to breathe.

He hurriedly jumped out of the circle with the red rabbit on his back, and galloped the horse back a long way.

The moment Lu Bu ran backwards, some elite knights under Zhang Fei were ready to draw out their hard bows to shoot Lu Bu who was galloping.

But before the arrow was shot, Zhang Fei raised his snake spear to stop him.

"Your Majesty, this is?"

With a straight face, Zhang Fei said to the knight in a cold voice: "You just need to defend the formation and stick to it carefully. You have already won a big victory today, so there is no need to pursue... As the saying goes, if a person like Lu Bu is invincible, if he is forced If you are in a hurry, it may not be a good thing."

"Maybe I will be bitten by the tiger and wolf instead, and the gain outweighs the loss."

What he said made the subordinates a little puzzled.

However, since it was what Zhang Fei said, there must be his reasons for everything.

Therefore, according to Zhang Fei's instructions, all the soldiers under his command stood ready and stopped chasing and killing Lu Buyi.

However, although Lu Bu and the others were not hunted down, Huang Zhong did not show mercy to Song Xian, Wei Xu and others.

For many years, he has been in the north of Youzhou, constantly dealing with foreigners. Although the form of the northern border is very complicated, Huang Zhong's ability has been trained to a higher level than before, but for Huang Zhong himself, and if It is best to have a chance to flex your muscles in the territory of Dahan.

Seeing that the Bingzhou army could no longer hold on, Huang Zhong did not hesitate, and immediately took out the feathered arrow from his quiver, and shot at a figure wearing black armor a hundred steps away with the help of the raging fire.

To be honest, Huang Zhong didn't know who that figure was, but just by keen observation, Huang Zhong could conclude that the other party's status in Lu Bu's army was not low.

According to the other party's clothes, Huang Zhong can be sure that the other party is at least the first level of Qu Junhou.

Huang Zhong has the ability to pierce Yang with a hundred steps. In such a situation where the opponent only cares about escaping, his archery hit rate will be higher.

While galloping his horse, Huang Zhong carefully adjusted the angle of his hand, and then saw him suddenly let go of the bowstring.

Then, the long arrow in his hand was like a shooting star, cutting through the air with a "swipe", mixed with the sound of whistling, and hit the fleeing Bingzhou Army officers.

Huang Zhong had a new mind this time, he didn't aim at the opponent's back vital parts, but mainly aimed at the opponent's shoulder blades.

Sure enough, there was a cry of pain, and the officer who was shot by Huang Zhong fell off his horse screaming.

The guards on his left and right couldn't care about the general who was shot off his horse at this moment... The Hebei army chasing behind was too close.

The sergeants from Hebei quickly rushed towards the direction where the general fell off his horse. They dispersed the Bingzhou army who wanted to come back to rescue the general, and captured the general alive.

At the same time, Lu Bu escaped from the entanglement with Zhang Fei and went straight to the northwest.

There is Zhang Liao who fought hard with Wen Chou.

But right now, more and more Hebei troops came to support Wen Chou from Daying, and the Hebei generals including Yan Liang and others also arrived one after another.

In such a completely unfavorable situation, even if Lu Bu wanted to continue fighting to repel the other army, he was powerless and impossible.

The Bingzhou Army, which has no horses, is now abandoned by Lu Bu.

However, Lu Bu is quite interesting, he has not forgotten Zhang Liao at this critical moment of life and death.

Before he fled, he tried his best to rescue Zhang Liao from the siege, and then ran west with Zhang Liao, not daring to stay longer in Luoyang's territory.

Liu Jian didn't seem to have the intention of killing them all. He just tried his best to eliminate the vital forces of the Bingzhou Army, but Liu Jian didn't seem to have much interest in Lu Bu's life.

In this regard, he and Zhang Fei have similar handling methods.

……

……

After a day and a night of fleeing, Lu Bu and the others finally escaped from Luoyang's jurisdiction.

At this time, Lu Bu had only less than five or six hundred people left around him.

There were also several generals of the direct line around him, and they were all following Lu Bu's side in a panic at this moment.

Everyone's eyes are dull and their spirits are listless.

In the past, the morale was like a rainbow, and the energetic Bingzhou army disappeared.

Now following Lu Bu here, there are only a group of remnants and defeated generals who have been beaten and lost their confidence.

A true remnant.

This battle completely destroyed the arrogance and morale of Lu Bu's army, and also completely destroyed the prestige and prestige of the Hebei army.
