Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 325 Arrogant Soldiers

Amidst the shouts of killing, the front team of Liu Bei's army charged, and a burly man rode his horse and held a spear, and rushed to the front.

"Archers get ready!" It was time to fight desperately, Yan Xiang's face was uncertain when he saw the menacing cavalry.

I knew that if the first wave of cavalry charges on the opposite side could not be stopped, once they were ordered to drive straight in and disperse the formation of their own team, the defense line would collapse in an instant!

Perhaps it was the commander's composure that infected the whole county. Yuan Jun waited quietly until Liu Bei's army entered the land of arrows. Following Yan Xiang's wave of orders, arrows rained down immediately.

At the same time, Liu Bei's army also began to fight back. The two sides shot bows and arrows at each other. As Liu Bei's army marched bravely and approached, Yuan Jun also began to change his formation. Swords and shield soldiers guarded the archers on the left and right, while spearmen began to rush to the front line. .

Zhang Fei took the lead, and still had time to wait and see the battle. Although he came with the goal of beheading, he would not really take the lead in charging into the enemy army. There is a difference between the bravery of a general and the bravery of an ordinary man.

If relying on high force, you can run wild among thousands of troops, whether you are running towards the enemy's commander or attacking wherever there are many people, you will be brave if you are brave, but it may not be effective, and it is even more dangerous.

When to launch a real charge, and from which direction to cut in from the enemy's army, can the defense line be better torn apart, and one hit is sure to hit. This is something that cannot be learned in military books.

That's why there is a saying that one can be a famous general who has experienced hundreds of battles, but whether he is truly a fierce general can be seen from the first time he steps into the battlefield.

To put it bluntly, it's all about talent.

And Zhang Fei is such a natural fighter!
As he continued to order, the central army and the rear team gradually formed their formations.The two wings are slowly opened, and when the time comes, they will speed up the horse to surround the enemy.

At this time, he saw the cavalry of the front team rushing to the front, some of them suddenly slowed down, and even threw away their bows, arrows and weapons in a hurry, and controlled the horses instead.

Is this stepping on a barbed wire?
Zhang Fei closed his eyes and guessed what happened to the front team. This kind of iron spiked obstacle has become a common thing in wars since the advent of the Warring States Period. On the ground, it is very effective for delaying the actions of the enemy.

However, the other side was eager to chase the ground, rushed all night, and in a hurry, Zhang Fei didn't think they had brought much barbed wire, let alone had enough time to arrange too many.

It's just a slight impact, and it won't destroy the overall charge of the cavalry!
Sure enough, the dozens of cavalrymen on the front line were only partly caught in the plot. The horses were no longer under the control of their masters under the pain, and their hooves flew up and neighed continuously. Because staying in place became the most eye-catching target of fire, Yuan Jun's archers who were under centralized command immediately shot him off his horse.

Zhang Fei was indifferent, and continued to pay attention to Yuan Jun's formation while riding his horse forward.

Not long after, the cavalry rushing through the caltrops lost their positions again, this time it was even more serious, even without Yuan Jun shooting them again, more than a dozen men and horses fell into the pit.

How many traps have been dug?

Zhang Fei was taken aback for a moment, but after a closer look, he felt relieved. There were not many traps, not even deep ones, but the next moment he raised his thick eyebrows.

But because of these two traps, the speed of Liu Bei's cavalry rushing to the front slowed down visibly, and as the number of fallen horses and fallen cavalry increased, the formation began to become chaotic.

Eggless thing!

Zhang Fei snorted coldly, and noticed that Yuan Jun's archers in front of the formation obviously began to retreat after shooting a few waves of arrows, as if they were about to replace with pikemen and cavalry to attack him.

The charge of cavalry at the forefront has stopped, and it is not appropriate to fight immediately at this time!
Instinctively smelling uneasiness, thinking of the "tragic victory" mentioned by the lieutenant before, Zhang Fei's heart moved, and he immediately raised his breath and shouted: "The front team is suspended!"

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and called in a timely manner. The next moment, hundreds of cavalry rushed out from the back of Yuan Jun's archers like a whirlwind. The first was a thin figure, but he was holding a long sword and charging forward. Like a huge wave, the cavalry vanguard of Liu Beijun slammed straight towards the front line!

It was Yan Xiang!

After only half a year of fighting, Yan Xiang's once Confucian aura and celebrity demeanor disappeared.

His figure has not changed, but the weathered and tough look on his face now makes him, who is wearing armor, no longer give people the feeling of nondescript.

Although most of them won the battle, but the swords and swords on the battlefield have no eyes, which also caused Yan Xiang a lot of scars, and even a scar on the corner of his face and eyes. If Yan Xiang returns to Yangzhou at this time, most of his acquaintances will probably be older. Eye-popping.

On the contrary, he is proud of it, and he can be a man if he is in the world. Is this a scar?No, this is proof that he has made great achievements for the Lord!
Thinking of this, Yan Xiang showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, but he restrained himself after a while, because at this moment the two groups of cavalry were about to face each other, and they were about to collide violently.

"Kill the thief!" Looking at the enemy in front of him, Yan Xiang's eyes changed with anger, and he yelled: "Naigong Yan Xiang is here! Hurry up and die!"

Before the words fell, the sword fell from the hand, and blood was splashed everywhere. When the two horses passed sideways, a Liu Beijun fell off the horse amidst the screams.

"Happy!" When Yan Xiang laughed, he didn't realize that Zhang Fei not far away was already ecstatic.

Grandpa was thinking about how to pass through the army to catch you, but you took the initiative to come here to die!

terrific terrific!

Amid the deafening laughter, Zhang Fei patted his horse and rushed forward.

"Master, wait for us!"

A personal soldier looked at Yan Xiang who was running far away, and followed to make up for him, yelling again and again as he hurriedly chased after him.

At this time, a cry suddenly sounded from the side; "Lao Lu, why does this enemy general look so familiar?"

look familiar?The soldier was stunned, and fixed his eyes to look at it, and at the same time, he felt the same feeling.

"This is."

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and the soldiers immediately remembered who this guy was, and turned their heads to look, but saw that Yan Xiang didn't seem to have heard what he was saying, and he still rushed towards Liu Bei's camp again, scared out of his wits, and immediately screamed.

"This is the man who stabbed Lieutenant Ji to death that day!"

"Master, be careful! Come back quickly!"

Yan Xiang still didn't hear it, he was murderous at this moment, his eyes were already red, and he only thought about it.

No wonder both Wang Zheng and Ji Ling like to charge first.

It feels so good!

There are also these soldiers, who are so inexperienced in the past. Thanks to myself, I was still uneasy before. It seems that more than ten years of swordsmanship is not in vain!
Just holding such thoughts, unexpectedly at this moment, the hairs all over his body stood up instantly, Yan Xiang couldn't help shivering, and before he could react, he felt a pain in his waist, and the next moment, the cold foreign body easily It pierced through his armor and pierced straight into his body.

Who attacked?

As soon as this idea came to Yan Xiang's mind, he felt a strong force coming from the cold foreign body, which lifted him up high, and then...
With a bang, Yan Xiang's body was slammed onto the ground!

Only then did Yan Xiang hear the desperate roaring of the soldiers behind him, the sound, the sound of hooves, and angrily shouting from far to near one by one, and then...
Then they fell off their horses one after another in front of a huge figure, and there was no one who was able to join them!
It was Zhang Fei who stabbed Ji Ling to death!
Zhang Fei who escaped in Tangyi that day!
Shuzi, you let the tiger go back to the mountain, but now you have killed me!
While the blood was splattering, Yan Xiang suddenly had the scene in Linzi that day in his mind, and he couldn't help muttering: "Wang Zheng, you have broken your trust with me again!"

The next moment, he died.

Tancheng, the state capital.

A sneeze!

Wang Zheng, who was listening intently to the sentry's report, sneezed coldly, rubbed his nose, and muttered to himself.

Do you have a cold?
Impossible, I haven't been sick since the seventh level?
Now that the physique is so high, it is naturally even more impossible, right?

What's the situation?After being puzzled for a moment, Wang Zheng calmed down and looked at the sentinel again: "Are you sure that since my army knocked on the city, there has been no leakage in the surrounding area?"

After the sentry cavalry reported back, Wang Zheng looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, echoing continuously in the clear sky of Lang Lang.

"That being the case" he shook his clothes, stood up, pressed his sword, and gave an order: "Beat the drums, summon the generals!"

Since Liu Bei hasn't heard the news yet, and now that the affairs in the city are mostly resolved, he can send troops with peace of mind!
"Here!"

Within half an hour, the three-way drum was finished, and all the generals gathered.

"Within three days, the army will be fully mobilized and set off to attack Xiapi!"

One stone broke through a thousand layers of waves. As soon as this statement came out, all the generals had different expressions, and most of them were excited.

No matter Wu Sheng, Pan Zhang, or the newly attached Zang Ba and Chang Xi, they all know that Wang Zheng came to Tancheng to go through the process, and the main purpose is to have a round with Yuan Jun and completely drive Liu Bei out of Xuzhou. The lord of Tancheng, or even the lord of Xuzhou, is considered stable and well-deserved.

"Where is Mi Fang?"

Wang Zheng had earlier rectified the administration of officials, and set up a department for arresting robbers and envoys to persuade farmers. He is the governor of Tancheng who advises the farmers, but because he has taken care of elaboration and intelligence matters, since he entered the city, Chen Deng has performed well, and his talent and name Wang Zheng have also been heard, but for some reason, he always feels that he is against him. The elegant young man is not too cold, and it is even more difficult to trust him, so after careful consideration of the robbery, Wang Zheng should let Mi Fang be in charge for the time being.

Before the words finished, one person stepped out, it was Mi Fang, he bowed his head and said, "The minister is here."

"After the army leaves the city, if there is any movement in the nearby cities, no matter Liangcheng, Siwu, or even Houqiu, please report to the general at any time."

"Here!" Mi's family already had commercial firms and post stations all over Xuzhou, with a large number of people and a wide range of channels, so they had an inherent advantage in inquiring about news.

Wang Zheng nodded, ordered him to step back, and asked, "Where is Wu Sheng?"

"The end is here."

"How are Pengcheng and Langya?" Wang Zheng asked, "Where are Xu Fang, Yu Jin and others now?"

When Wu Shengruo was by his side, in addition to being the commander of the Tianzhu camp, he was also the captain of the personal army who did his part, receiving messengers was also his duty.Most of the contact with the three counties is also his responsibility.

Of course, how could Wang Zheng not know the content of the letter? He just borrowed Wu Sheng's mouth to tell the generals to hear about it.

"Report to General." Wu Sheng said: "Xu Fang sent a messenger yesterday, the army has arrived to take care of it, if there is no accident, we will set off in the near future, and we should arrive at Xiapi in a short time."

"As for Yu Jin, there is no news yet. If calculated according to the itinerary, it should be approaching Xiangben at this time."

"In addition." Wu Sheng added: "I just got the news today that everything in Taishan County is peaceful, Cao Jun has not changed, and not long ago, he withdrew half of the garrison in Lu County, Jibei County, which is adjacent to Mount Tai."

Did Cao Mengde notice my army's mobilization of large numbers of troops today and guess my combat intention, so he pretended to be a gesture to reassure me?
After pondering for a moment, Wang Zheng nodded, and asked again: "Where is Pan Zhang?"

"The end is here." Pan Zhang came out.

"How's the morale of the army?"

"General, the three armies are fighting hard, everyone wants to fight!" After a pause, Pan Zhang added: "The men and horses of Lieutenant Colonel Zang and Lieutenant Colonel Chang are all elite, and the tacit understanding with the various departments of the Heavenly Army is progressing very quickly. Our army is now fighting. Great increase, and you can make contributions to the general at any time!"

"Where are the soldiers?" Wang Zheng asked again.

"There are [-] newly recruited soldiers, and now all of them have been reorganized. Among them, more than [-] old soldiers who can fight have been selected to join the local army, and the rest are stationed in the east and west of the city to take charge of the security of Tan County."

"Very good." Wang Zheng looked at Chen Deng again: "Yuanlong, how is the repair of the city wall going?"

"Seventy-eight out of ten."

"What about the food and grass?"

"The food and grass brought by the general, together with the storage in the city, is enough for the army for three months!"

Wang Zheng nodded, turned to look at the generals, and said, "The war is about to start, what do you think? Today's military meeting is free to speak."

Saying that, he first looked at Zang Ba, hesitated for a while, and then turned to Chang Xi: "Brother Chang, why don't you talk about it first?"

Hearing that Wang Zheng did not choose Wu Sheng and Pan Zhang, who were close to old people, but picked him first, Chang Xi was surprised, and also felt happy. He immediately stood up with his chest up, and said, "General, our army's rear is stable, and the food and grass are sufficient. The three armies use their lives, and the fighting spirit is boiling!"

"It can be said that the time, place and people are in harmony, and all three are in place. This battle must be won!"

"Where's Brother Zang?"

Zang Ba also echoed: "In terms of strength, situation, and situation, our army has the upper hand everywhere. Once Liu Bei knows that Tancheng has been lost, he will collapse without fighting. Even if he has combat power, he has no fighting spirit. , must win!"

Wang Zheng watched it slowly, seeing that Wu Sheng and the others were all eager to try, full of confidence, but frowned: "Masters, as the saying goes, those who are arrogant in soldiers are defeated, and those who bully the enemy are killed. Liu Bei is not easy to deal with, so don't be careless."

"Why did you say that, general? It raises others' aspirations and lowers our own prestige." Wu Sheng yelled after hearing the words: "We have copied Liu Bei's hometown, what's so difficult about it?"

Pan Zhang came out and said, "What Major Wu said is true!"

"Since the general's rebellion, our army has defeated all powerful enemies. We have even conquered an important town, started from Qingzhou, and have covered three counties so far. The flag is invincible. Even Cao Mengde, who defeated Lu Bu, was afraid of him. He took the initiative to ask for peace. Withdraw the troops, thinking that the general will be intimidated by heaven."

"Now I'm going down to Tan County without a fight!"

"Liu Bei, what's the point?"

Seeing that everyone had such an attitude, Wang Zheng's expression became more and more gloomy.

Unknowingly, has the arrogance in his family grown so much?
