Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 273 Scarecrow! (Thanks to Tic-Lihen for the monthly ticket support~)

All the generals looked at the person who stepped out, with mixed expressions.

This general was none other than the eldest son of General Ma Teng, the General who Conquers the West - Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi!
People call him Jin Ma Chao!

Huangfu Song looked at Ma Chao and smiled in surprise:
"He is indeed Ma Shoucheng's son. Like father, like son!"

Huangfu Song immediately called Ma Chao to his side and whispered something in his ear.

After receiving the order, Ma Chao immediately led a thousand elite cavalrymen with great vigor and quietly went around to the west of Hao Meng's army and lay in ambush.

Huangfu Song gave orders to the remaining generals:

"Soldiers, prepare to follow me and charge!

"When the 'Dragon Head' of the enemy formation emerges, lock onto the enemy general and attack fiercely!
"We don't seek to kill the enemy general, but we must make it difficult for him to retreat!"

“Yes——!!” all the generals shouted in unison.

Huangfu Song drew the sword from his waist and swung it forward fiercely:
"All officers, listen up and charge the enemy as planned--!!"

Following Huangfu Song's order, 16,000 troops immediately rushed towards Hao Meng's army like a scarlet tide!

Liu Feng, who had been waiting for a long time, felt the tremendous pressure coming towards him.

But with Xu Sheng, who has more combat experience, in command, he doesn't need to consider anything else and just needs to follow the opponent's orders!

Xu Sheng also noticed the arrival of Huangfu Song's army.

Because of his limited vision, he did not see that a team of a thousand men had circled around his flank and were waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Of course, even if he saw it, he wouldn't be too worried.

If there are enemy troops so large that they can be seen with the naked eye, they will attack the center of the formation.

He would immediately gather the dragon heads on both sides for defense.

If there are not enough enemy troops attacking the center of the formation, the soldiers at the center of the formation are not there to do anything.

As long as their counterattack can hold out until the Dragon Head returns for support, the enemy's plan to break through the formation will fail!
Facing the attack of Huangfu Song's army at this moment, Xu Sheng knew very well that what he had to do was to stabilize the formation and delay time.

They currently have 28,000 troops.

The combined force of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun should be around 30,000 to 40,000 troops.

Among them, Zhu Jun's soldiers were restricted to the boat and could not give full play to their strength.

Twenty thousand troops actually have the effect of only ten thousand troops.

In addition, Huangfu Song had an army of 17,000 men, and the combined combat capabilities of the two sides were only comparable to theirs.

With similar military strength, Xu Sheng knew very well that he only needed to rely on the formation to delay until Ji Ling and his men could break through.

Even if we can’t win this battle, at least we will be invincible!
Xu Sheng immediately ordered Liu Feng:
"Defend your position! Maintain your formation! Do not attack rashly. Wait for my order before you attack!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Liu Feng bowed to Xu Sheng from a distance.

Under the command of Huangfu Song, Ma Teng's sworn brother, General Han Sui of Anqiang, took the lead in attacking Hao Meng's army!

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry led by Han Sui are all tall and strong, full of murderous intent!
When rushing to the front of the enemy's formation, they attempted to break through the outer formation by using their terrifying momentum and the speed advantage of the cavalry!

But what Han Sui did not expect was that the young general guarding in front of the army was holding two iron maces, his expression was unmoved!

Under his command, the soldiers continued to use shields and spears to resist Han Sui's cavalry, making it impossible for Han Sui's cavalry to break in.

Only then did Han Sui notice that it was not just the generals who had high combat qualities.

Even the insignificant soldiers were full of strength and repelled their attacks again and again! Han Sui's cavalry didn't even have the qualifications to force out the "Dragon Head"!
However, this wave of cavalry attack was not completely in vain, as it did disrupt the outer formation to some extent.

Huangfu Song is worthy of being a famous general who made great contributions during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. His ability to seize opportunities is extraordinary!

He immediately ordered the Cavalry Commander Li Su to lead a thousand soldiers armed with sledgehammers to follow Han Sui's cavalry and charge forward!

And this Li Su was the fellow villager who persuaded Lu Bu to assassinate Ding Yuan and surrender to Dong.

As the pumpkin-head-like hammers continued to hit the defending side's shields, countless shields were smashed!

The soldiers behind Li Su took the opportunity to break through the outer perimeter of the military formation and continued to invade the interior of the military formation!

Xu Sheng had already noticed that the outer perimeter of the army was damaged, and immediately ordered Liu Feng to attack!
Liu Feng, who had been ready to fight for a long time, shouted loudly and led a heavy cavalry, rushing towards Li Su's hammer soldiers like a dragon head shot out!
Li Su's hammer soldiers are all infantry.

Faced with the sudden attack of heavy cavalry, they were caught off guard and hundreds of them were killed in an instant!
Huangfu Song, who was standing behind, was also secretly astonished when he saw the terrifying explosive power generated by the dragon head's attack.

But in surprise, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly:
"Finally I fished you out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huangfu Song immediately glanced at several generals beside him.

The generals understood and led their troops to attack Liu Feng!
Han Sui, who was closest to Liu Feng, was the first to fight with Liu Feng.

The cross-shaped silver spear in his hand quickly hooked towards Liu Feng's neck!

Liu Feng immediately swung his double maces that looked like iron whips.

The left mace blocked the hook blade, while the right mace hit Han Sui's wrist holding the weapon!
Upon seeing this, Han Sui immediately held the spear in one hand, drew the sword from his waist with his left hand and slashed forward.

After deflecting Liu Feng's iron mace, he quickly put his sword back into the scabbard. His movements were smooth and there was no pause!

You can tell at first glance that he has a wealth of experience in horse combat!
Liu Feng refused to admit defeat and fought with Han Sui for more than thirty rounds without a clear winner!
The two men's fighting skills are comparable, but Han Sui is more experienced!

Liu Feng didn't notice that he had been getting farther and farther away from the main camp without realizing it!

It was not until his soldiers reminded him loudly that he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Just as they were about to move closer to the main camp, two generals suddenly rushed out from both sides. They were the Cavalry Commander Li Su and the Right Army Captain Zhao Meng!

The two blocked Liu Feng's retreat, making it impossible for him to retreat back into the formation for a while...

When Huangfu Song launched his attack, Zhu Jun on the warship was overjoyed:

"I knew it, Yizhen would know my heart!"

Zhu Jun immediately ordered the army to launch a fierce attack from the ship to cooperate with Huangfu Song's actions.

However, not long after, the soldiers in the rear suddenly reported:
"General! Ji Ling's army in the rear is creating thick smoke on the south bank. It seems that countless soldiers are approaching our army in the thick smoke!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jun immediately went to the other side of the ship to check the situation.

I saw thick smoke billowing on the shore, with shadowy figures in it, as if countless people and horses were running in it!
Although Zhu Jun was confused, his attention was still on the more important battlefield on the other side. He immediately gave the order:

"Archers, keep shooting arrows. Don't let the enemy get close to our ships!"

After saying that, he went to the other side to continue commanding the battle!
Facing the smoke-filled south bank, Zhu Jun's soldiers simply shot arrows into the smoke.

After hearing the shrill screams coming from the smoke, these people became even more excited!
The bow in his hand shot out arrows one after another.

Until they could no longer pull the bowstring, and most of the arrows on the ship had been used up.

At the same time, the thick smoke on the shore had almost dissipated.

What the soldiers on the warship didn't expect was that the troops swaying back and forth on the shore were not enemy troops!
They are clearly scarecrows pierced with arrows! !
