Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 242 The Final Battle
"Brother, this is the tiger and leopard rider!" Seeing the menacing tiger and leopard rider, Guan Yu said softly.Liu Bei nodded, and his usually calm face also changed color.From that indomitable momentum, Liu Bei knew that this tiger and leopard cavalry was definitely stronger than any army horse he had encountered before.If you rely on your own manpower, you can repel him, but it will inevitably take a lot of trouble, but fortunately, you have already prepared.

"Third Brother, you take the lead in the battle with the Fengyun Cavalry Army first. After calculating the schedule, Zilong and Bo Tao are coming soon!" Liu Bei said lightly.That's right, Liu Bei didn't intend to rely on his troops from the Central Plains to deal with Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry from the very beginning. After Pang Tong proposed the siege plan, Liu Bei ordered Zhao Yun's thousands of Xiliang cavalry from Hanzhong to come to help in the battle, so that Zhao Feng and One of them came together.It can be said that apart from Xu Huang voluntarily giving up Shanyang and retreating to Dongjun, everything is under Liu Bei's control.In this way, Cao Cao retreated calmly for an extra day or two.Zhao Feng, Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, Ma Dai and the others hurried to catch up, but they could barely make it to the battle.

"Brother is right, only Xiliang iron cavalry can deal with tiger and leopard cavalry!" Guan Yu nodded.Cavalry is different from infantry, mainly because of the power of cavalry, which mostly depends on the impact of cavalry horses.The tiger and leopard riders are equipped with good horses from Bingzhou and Liaodong, so they are better than Liu Bei's Central Plains horses.Now the Xiliang iron cavalry is equipped with Xiliang horses, which are better than Bingzhou and Liaodong horses.In Liu Bei's army, when Zang Ba was guarding Shangyong last time, he got several thousand good horses from Xiliang, plus Guan Yu captured Zhang Xiu and exchanged grain with Zhao Feng, the total number was less than [-] horses.Excluding the mounts of some important generals, there were only [-] horses left.Last time Liu Bei lent almost all of these [-] horses to Ma Chao, together with the original [-] Sichuan Army cavalry, this helped him regain Xiliang.After Zhao Feng and Zhao Yun received the order, they immediately mobilized the remaining [-] Xiliang iron cavalry in Hanzhong, from Hanzhong via Dongsanjun to Nanyang, and then to Yuzhou to help in the battle. This battle.

"Third brother, it all depends on whether you can hold on first!" Liu Bei looked at the tiger and leopard riders who were getting closer, and said solemnly to Zhang Fei. The latter rarely said anything, but just nodded.Looking back at the more than 1 wind and cloud cavalry behind him, and the thousands of white horses who came with Wei Yan, Zhang Fei knew that it would depend on whether he could hold back the tiger and leopard cavalry and buy time for the infantry. .

"Kill me!" Zhang Fei roared before the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry rushed forward, and then led the cavalry behind him to meet him.With himself and his Yanyun one hundred and eight cavalry as the core, all the cavalry formed a frontal formation, ready to head-to-head with the tiger and leopard cavalry.Although the crane wing array can be used to strengthen the defense, in this case, Liu Bei and the others will be forced to defend passively with him, thus missing the opportunity to annihilate Cao Cao.And if it's a fight, the opponent can leave him alone and embarrass Liu Bei's pawns.So after much deliberation, Zhang Fei really has no choice but to confront head-on.

"Hmph, Zhang Fei is so brave and foolish, how dare he collide with my tiger and leopard rider?" Cao Chun looked at Zhang Fei who took the initiative to kill him, but his heart was full of disdain.In his opinion, anyone who dared to collide with a tiger or leopard rider would end up being completely smashed apart just like Yuan Tan was back then.

With a "bang", a Fengyun cavalry collided with a tiger and leopard cavalry. As Cao Chun expected, the impact force of the tiger and leopard cavalry was definitely stronger than Zhang Fei's Fengyun cavalry.However, the scene was not completely one-sided. Under the leadership of Zhang Fei, the Fengyun Cavalry and Baima Yicong also fought with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry close to each other with their sharp sabers, and not all of them were knocked into the air.After all, you are a sieve, and you can't miss anything.

"Kill!" Zhang Fei roared, like a thunderbolt in the middle of the sky.The Zhangba Snake Spear in the right hand out, piercing the iron armor of a Dubo on the other side, the Snake Spear was still strong, and pierced him forcibly.Another knight riding a tiger and leopard at the side saw that it was cheap, and took advantage of Zhang Fei's snake spear, raised his spear and stabbed him in the back of the heart.

"Hey!" Zhang Fei roared, and before he could pull out the snake spear, he pulled out the saber at his waist with his left hand, and without looking back, he directly chopped off with his backhand, beheading the man's deathly head.Beside him, there were already more than ten corpses.

"Three generals, these guys are so powerful!" Gao Lan cursed after slashing a man to death with a knife.These tiger and leopard riders were wearing heavy armor. Gao Lan killed several people, and his hands were a little numb from the shock.Facing these iron bumps, once surrounded, it would be death.

Zhang Fei was about to speak when he suddenly felt a murderous aura attacking him.Almost instinctively, Zhang Fei crossed the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand, parrying the opponent's move. After a loud sound of "Dang", Zhang Fei reined in his horse and backed away a few steps, his body was shaken unexpectedly.

"Xu Chu!" Recognizing that the person who attacked him was Xu Chu, who had fought under Xuzhou City 13 years ago, the fighting spirit in Zhang Fei's chest suddenly burned.Although Xu Chu's sneak attack just now, he was able to force Zhang Fei back a few steps. This kind of martial arts should not be underestimated.Zhang Fei also knew it well, he clenched the snake spear in his hand, and began to prepare for a decisive battle with this rare enemy in his life.

"Zhang Fei, die!" Xu Chu's sneak attack came back without success, and he couldn't wait to explain too many scenes because of his impatient nature. With a roar, the tiger knife slashed at Zhang Fei with an indomitable momentum, and then The hunter pulled out the Zhangba Snake Spear and began to fight with it.With the two of them as the center, the rest of the people within a radius of several feet cannot get close at all. If they are unfortunately pushed in by the fierce fighting army, they will soon be cut into a pile of incomplete pieces by the flying Tiger Sword and Zhangba Snake Spear Incomplete limbs, but the two people fighting fiercely will hardly be affected in any way.

"Kill!" On the other two sides, the pawns led by Li Dian and others also fought fiercely with the rest of Liu Bei's generals.Wei Yan, Li Dian, Xia Houdun, Huang Zhong, these world famous generals all gave full play to their military talents in this rare melee.The battlefield was quickly split into small pieces, Cao Cao's men and Liu Bei's men had been completely strangled together, and the red and black uniforms of both sides were mixed together.

"This Zhang Fei, how dare he defend the tiger and leopard cavalry head-on?" Cao Cao looked at Zhang Fei's almost death-seeking behavior on the far slope, and his usually calm face was a little moved.Not only because of Zhang Fei's crazy actions, but also because this guy didn't collapse after taking over the tiger and leopard cavalry.It is true that Zhang Fei was entangled by Xu Chu, but under the command of Zang Ba and Gao Lan, the Fengyun Cavalry and Baima Yicong were still stubbornly resisting the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.The fierceness of the battle surprised even Cao Cao, who had experienced many battles.

In the fierce hand-to-hand combat, on average, for every tiger and leopard rider who fell, at least one opponent would be buried with him.Although doing so is not a loss, and even has an advantage, Cao Cao is not satisfied with just such a comparison of casualties.He knew very well that if he couldn't bring out the incomparable impact of the tiger and leopard cavalry, he wouldn't be able to give full play to his own advantages.

However, under Gao Lan and Zang Ba's stalking, Cao Chun never had a chance to gather the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to charge.Just now Zhang Fei's frontal arrow formation was head-to-head. Although he paid the price of two thousand cavalry casualties in an instant, he successfully dragged Cao Chun into the quagmire of positional warfare.Looking at the situation on the field, Cao Cao found that the Fengyun Cavalry's performance was much better than that in Xuchang a few months ago. After all, after the baptism of that battle, their combat effectiveness is also increasing.

"Father, let me lead people to help General Xu and the others!" Cao Zhang took the initiative to invite Ying after glancing at the last three thousand tiger and leopard riders behind him.Behind him are Cao Xiu and Cao Hong who are eager to fight.Cao Cao didn't say anything, but Liu Ye, a counselor at the side, stepped forward and said, "Sir, don't be impatient. The fierce battle is in full swing. Even if the third son joins the battle group, it will not be effective for a while. It is better to wait until the situation of the army is clear, Waiting for work to come out with leisure will surely work.”

"But?" Cao Zhang was about to say something, but at this moment, a melodious horn sounded suddenly from the south.Cao Zhang stopped talking in astonishment, and looked south with Cao Cao.It is not necessary to have Xu Chu's level of hearing. Just from the dust raised and the heavy hoofbeats when the opposing army came, Cao Zhang knew that this was a cavalry force of at least tens of thousands of people.

"Liu Bei really has a backup!" Liu Ye sighed, but Jia Xu frowned slightly: "Where did Liu Bei get so many cavalry?" After saying this, Cao Cao nodded involuntarily.But now there is not much time for them to think about this issue, because this aggressive cavalry has almost entered the southernmost place where the cavalry of the two sides are fighting.Although the tiger and leopard cavalry are the elite cavalry in the world, once the enemy has tens of thousands of cavalry to help them fight, even if there is such a peerless general as Xu Chu, the tiger and leopard cavalry will be dead today.

"It's impossible for Liu Bei to have so many cavalry!" Cao Cao suddenly said firmly, turning his head to look at Cao Zhang and Cao Hong, Cao Cao immediately ordered: "Zi Lian, Zi He, Wen Lie, lead the tiger and leopard cavalry, come forward Stop this group of people with me!"

"Promise!" Cao Hong and the others agreed with a bang, and then led the last three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry to kill the mysterious cavalry that came from the dust.

"Bo Tao, it seems that we came a little late!" Zhao Yun looked at the chaotic battlefield in front of him, and said with some regret.

"It's not too late, it's just in time!" Zhao Feng took a quick look and found that the scene was at its peak.The pawns led by Liu Bei and Guan Yu have firmly taken the initiative in the battle with Cao Jun; it's just that Zhang Fei's Fengyun cavalry army is somewhat difficult to sustain in the battle with the tiger and leopard cavalry.

"Go and help the three generals first!" Zhao Feng quickly drew up a strategy. Although helping Liu Bei can solve the battle on the infantry side as soon as possible, it would be bad if Zhang Fei couldn't hold on. Zhao Feng decided to adopt a slightly safer strategy .

"Okay!" Zhao Yun also knew the stakes in this, and did not argue that he directly led the army into the battle group.At this moment, Cao Hong and others also came from afar.

"Damn it, you're playing tricks!" Cao Hong couldn't help swearing when he was dozens of steps away from this mysterious enemy army.He could clearly see that most of the knights in this cavalry army had bundles of branches tied to their tails, and when they ran, they dragged them on the ground, naturally dusty.As a result, this cavalry, which was only a few thousand, was as powerful as tens of thousands of cavalry.

"Zhao Botao!" Before Cao Hong could curse again, Cao Xiu who was on the side roared angrily, staring fixedly at Zhao Feng who was in the formation.He will never forget that this is the person who captured his husband ten years ago and then cheated the city, and the whole game went round and round.Enemies meet here now, really jealous!

"Hehe, they are all acquaintances!" Except for Cao Zhang and Zhao Feng who didn't know each other, Cao Hong and Cao Xiu were old acquaintances.Looking at it now, apart from Zhang Ren, there were no other generals beside him. He greeted them immediately, and the two stepped forward to fight with Cao Hong and the others.

"Go!" Zhao Feng swung Cao Hong away across the barrel of the gun, and then took advantage of the opportunity to stab Cao Xiu, who also caught the move in a hurry.Over the years, Zhao Feng has not relaxed his martial arts cultivation.Now his martial arts, I am afraid that compared with the level of the five tiger generals, it is already not too much. The mere Cao Hong + Cao Xiu is not enough for him. Therefore, one against two is more attack than defense, and he is happy to fight with all his strength. attack.

On the other side, Zhang Ren ran into Cao Zhang.One is the second disciple of Tong Yuan, a spear prodigy, who has become a proficient master after more than 20 years of immersion in the Phoenix Spear;Now when these two people are in a battle, they will also show their special abilities, and the fight will be inseparable for a while.However, like all scripts, the accident happened at this time.

After getting Zhao Yun's help, the pressure on Gao Lan and Zang Ba was relieved a lot.Not only because the Xiliang Iron Cavalry shared part of the pressure, but also because the Fengyun Cavalry was trained by Zhao Yun, and now he is in command, which is much more handy than Zang Ba and Gao Lan who are acting as Yue Zu.With Zhao Yun's help, the tiger and leopard rider gradually began to feel strenuous.

"Should die!" Suddenly, a spiked arrow shot towards the back of Zhao Yun, who was in the fierce battle. Zhao Yun dodged like eyes behind his back.Looking back, it was Cao Chun who put down his bow and arrow bitterly.Zhao Yun snorted coldly, then turned his horse's head to kill Cao Chun.

"Stop it with me, stop it!" Cao Chun knew that he was definitely not Zhao Yun's opponent. Now that he was staring at himself for bad luck, he suddenly felt like a mouse being chased by a cat, and almost wanted to run away.However, as a commanding general and the creator of tiger and leopard cavalry, Cao Chun naturally wouldn't be so cowardly.Seeing Zhao Yun directly attacking him, Cao Chun commanded the guards to intercept him, instead of withdrawing from the battlefield.Zhao Yun also knew that he was the leader of the tiger and leopard cavalry, if he could be killed, it would be better than killing ordinary generals.But he charged and killed several times, but all returned in vain.

"What's the point of stabbing people in the back, eat me!" Just as Cao Chun ordered someone to block Zhao Yun, only Dong Mian cursed angrily.Turning his head to look, it was a young general calling out to him.Judging by the way he looks, he is estimated to be in his early 20s at most.

Cao Chun didn't know Ma Dai, because Ma Dai wasn't there when he fought together in Saibei last time.Seeing that such a little bastard dared to fight with him, he couldn't help feeling angry.Seeing that Zhao Yun was blocked by the people from the north, he simply killed the little bastard to boost morale.Thinking of this, Cao Chun urged his mount under his crotch, and brandished his iron spear to go straight to Ma Dai.

"You bastard who dares to plot against my brother-in-law, die!" Ma Dai yelled, slashing at Cao Chun with the big knife in his hand.Cao Chun didn't care what he said, and just swung his gun to fight him.

"what!"

With this scream, the upper half of Cao Chun, the leader of the tiger and leopard cavalry, left his buttocks and fell to the ground, while his lower body was still riding steadily on the horse.But now not everyone has the time to care about this. The instigator, Ma Dai, wiped the blood splattered on his face and was about to fight again, but he saw many enemy soldiers looking at him in astonishment. I can't even take care of the war, this scene is very strange.

Seeing that the enemy was so stunned, Ma Dai couldn't help but also stunned.

After a while, only one person howled like a slaughtered pig: "The commander is dead!" Then the rest of the people also howled.Just then Cao Chun fought with Ma Dai for more than ten rounds, but his strength was exhausted, and he was hacked to death by Ma Dai.The leader of the tiger and leopard cavalry was slaughtered by a kid just like that.Of course, if he knew that Ma Dai had killed the tiger at the age of 14, he wouldn't be so impulsive to fight Ma Dai.

"Commander?" Ma Dai saw the tiger and leopard knights howling like a mourning concubine, and then realized that what he had killed was an important person. Thinking of the great achievements he had made when he first arrived in the Central Plains, Ma Dai was overjoyed and hurriedly led the crowd. Continue to charge.

Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are rare elites in the world, and generally no matter what dangers happen, they will not back down.But Cao Chun's death today is not within this general situation, not only because Cao Chun is the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but also because he is the founder of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and can even be said to be the spiritual leader of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.Now that he died like this, the morale of the army will inevitably be messed up.

"Grandma, Cao Chun is dead?" A hoarse voice came from behind, Ma Dai looked back, it was Zhou Tai who had met once in Hanzhong, but seeing him shaking his head, he seemed very sorry, this time It made Ma Dai a little hard to understand.

But soon Zhou Tai quickly resolved his confusion, "This guy should die in my hands!" Zhou Tai smacked his lips and said, Ma Dai couldn't help but feel the black line on his forehead, he finally realized that in this world, There is really someone who can have a thick skin comparable to his big brother.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry inevitably retreated, which was beyond Cao Cao's expectation.It's not just Cao Cao, "Why are the tiger and leopard cavalry in a mess?" Cao Pi was also quite surprised to see the tiger and leopard cavalry fleeing one after another.Cao Cao didn't speak, but he already had an ominous premonition in his heart: if there were no major changes, the tiger and leopard cavalry would not retreat.

"The tiger and leopard cavalry have been defeated!" Zhang Fei yelled suddenly as he separated Xu Chu with a spear, seemingly on purpose or not.More and more soldiers of Liu Jun also started to shout.The roar became louder and louder, but the tigers and leopards ran away as soon as they ran, and such roars had no effect on them.Of course, it was not without reason that Zhang Fei suddenly became angry. Cao Jun's pawns inevitably became a little messed up when he roared like this.

Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was defeated!This voice soon filled the entire battlefield. Although the soldiers of the two armies who were fighting fiercely were busy with their busy schedules, some people still took the time to check the situation there.As a result, they all saw that their tiger and leopard riders were retreating one after another.This situation can only show one thing, they lost.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was defeated. Cao Jun's trump card, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry that once ran rampant in the desert, was defeated.
