Xiaoqi

Wuwei Zhongjun, just after five rounds of arrows, Zhang Liao quickly changed his army formation to meet the ferocious offensive of tiger and cardinal cavalry.Immediately, he leaped across the sword and leaped with the giant shield soldiers to resist the charge of the Xiliang iron cavalry. Where the shield formation was broken by the enemy, he led his own soldiers to block the gap at the first time, fighting bloody battles, never letting the Xiliang iron cavalry approach. General's platform.

"Kill!" Li Jue glared angrily at the sight of his cavalry breaking through the shield several times, but was retreated by Zhang Liao's troops.Immediately, he raised the reins violently, raised his saber high, shouted angrily, and personally led his troops to charge, pointing his saber straight at Zhang Liao's direction.

"Drive!" Waving his hand and cutting down the last Xiliang cavalryman who fell into the giant shield formation, Zhang Liao lightly scolded, and led more than 400 soldiers out of the shield formation to face Li Jue head-on.His intention was obvious, to stop the enemy in front of the formation, absolutely not allow Li Jue to rush into the shield formation.Otherwise, Li Jue is so brave that none of the Wuwei generals who stay in the central army can stop his attack, and the central army is in danger.

On the frontal battlefield, the combat effectiveness of cavalry is definitely far better than that of infantry.

The biggest shortcoming is that the cavalry is too fast and has a strong impact, which is difficult for infantry to resist.Therefore, although the Wuwei Central Army has 1 infantry troops, it is unable to resist the more than [-] Xiliang iron cavalry, and the situation is precarious.

Because of this, Zhang Liao could only do the opposite, and took the initiative to fight Li Jue in order to boost the morale of the entire army.

"clang!"

The two sabers met in the air, slashed fiercely, and the sound of attack was loud.

With sparks flying everywhere, Zhang Liao and Li Jue confronted brazenly.Both of them used long-handled sabers, relying on the sprinting momentum of the horses under their crotches, the sabers were swift and fierce, and they were powerful and heavy.During the collision of swords, both sides did not hold back, and did their best to kill or defeat the opponent in the shortest possible time.

Since Zhang Liao had deliberately entangled Li Jue long ago, his sprint speed was obviously slower than Li Jue's, but his turning speed was faster than Li Jue's.Therefore, after the two sides fought, it was difficult for Li Jue to get rid of Zhang Liao's attack, so he could only rein in his horse and fight, but he was unable to lead his soldiers into the general platform of the Chinese army and seize the Wuwei Commander's Banner.

In terms of martial arts strength alone, Zhang Liao's martial arts is not inferior to Li Jue, but he can't beat Li Jue either.

In a short period of time, it was difficult for the two sides to decide the outcome, and the battle was fierce and stalemate.

During the fierce battle, the swords flew and the horses neighed, but the time passed quickly amidst the sound of attacks.

While the Wuwei Central Army was fighting bloody resistance, the fighting between Jin Yiwei and Huben Camp intensified, and the fierce battle was in full swing.

In the desperate fight, there were less than [-] war cavalry left out of the original [-] Jinyi Guards.What's more serious is that the soldiers of the Golden Guards are now besieged by [-] tiger and cardinal cavalry regiments. The space for the cavalry to sprint is getting smaller and smaller, and the combat effectiveness has also dropped sharply.

However, coach Li Li's combat effectiveness is still very strong and full of fighting spirit.Even though he was surrounded by heavy siege, the Golden Beast King was not afraid of many war horses, and he was still able to deter the war horses from retreating one after another, and no war horse dared to approach within two feet.Relying on the power of such a beast, the sword in Li Li's hand is like a life-threatening sickle, and the direction of the blade is bloody, no one can match it.

Even if the coach is like this, the soldiers of the Golden Guards are greatly encouraged. Although they are in an extremely unfavorable situation, they still have high morale and fight bloody battles.During this time, careful people have already noticed that the commander Li Zhi left the battle line at some point and disappeared without a trace.However, the coach Li Li was here, and the commander was gone, which did not affect the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

Where did Li Zhi go?

"Wow hoo hoo!"

"Quick, quick, stop the man riding the bull!" Under the banner of the Xiliang Army Commander, Wang Fang suddenly caught a glimpse of a small school boy riding a huge bull beast not going to attack Jin Yiwei, but heading straight for the Zhongjun Commander's banner. Feeling surprised suddenly, an indescribable sense of crisis welled up in my heart.So he shouted for his soldiers to quickly intercept him, and he must never let this person get close to Shuai Qi.

Seeing dozens of soldiers charging forward on horseback, Wang Fang couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, and raised his hand to wipe away the cold sweat covering his eyes.At this time, he had already recognized the person twenty paces away, and it was easy to identify, so far, there was only one person who used iron chains as a weapon in the entire Xiliang army.

This person is Li Li's personal commander, that is, Li Zhi, the commander of the Jinyiwei.

Wang Fang was too nervous just now, he was confused.Because the armor of the cavalry of the Wuwei Army is very similar to that of the Huben Battalion, they are all black armor, and he did not expect that there would be enemy soldiers under the commander of the Chinese army, so he mistook Li Zhi for a junior in the army. come out.However, if you look closely, there is still a clear difference between the armor of the cavalry of the two armies. The armor of the cavalry of the Xiliang army is gray and white, while the armor of the Wuwei army is jet black.

It's just that now that the sun is setting and the slanting sun is shining right on the side of the Xiliang army, that's why Wang Fang misunderstood it.

"Bang bang bang!"

"what"

The moment Wang Fang relaxed his mind a little, he saw Li Zhi who was on the back of the dragon-scale bull beast suddenly jump up, the chains in his hands were flying in the air, and more than ten Xiliang cavalry surrounded him in the blink of an eye. He was thrown out by the iron chain.The cavalrymen who were hit by the iron chain either had their heads shattered immediately, or they became trapeze people, screaming and flying off their horses.But Li Zhi took advantage of the ownerless war horse, stepped on the horse's back and quickly approached Shuai Qi without touching the ground.Such a scene is really as light as a swallow, which is breathtaking.

Opening his eyes wide and watching Li Zhi flying towards him on his horse, Wang Fang was horrified and stunned, not knowing what to do for a while.

"Hu Zheng, guard the commander-in-chief flag!" After being dazed for a while, Wang Fang was a battle-tested general after all. He hurriedly ordered the flag bearer to look after the battle flag, and rushed towards Li Zhi with his horse and knife.

Chapter 322 Capture the Flag

clang!

Wang Fang galloped on his horse and swung his saber with all his strength, but was knocked off the saber by the chain that Li Zhi swung his hand.

"what"

In an instant, the sword flew up into the sky against the golden setting sun, but Wang Fang cried out in pain the moment the sword was released.He was shaken by the huge force from the handle so that his hands were ripped open, bleeding profusely, his arms trembled and swayed, he screamed in pain and flew backwards, his buttocks fell backwards on the ground, in extreme embarrassment.

Just when Wang Fang landed, Li Zhi landed on the back of Wang Fang's horse again, and then he jumped up, and the chains in both hands attacked at the same time, the rattling iron chains were like two flying straight to the flag bearer Hu Zheng Fly away.

The moment Li Zhi flew over his head, Wang Fang blurted out a mouthful of blood, his face turned pale and bloodless.However, there was a look of relief on his face, and a hint of luck flashed in his eyes.

Indeed, Wang Fang should be thankful.

Because Li Zhi had been merciful to him just now, otherwise the iron chain that swept wildly would have hit his wrist instead of the handle of the knife.If this is the case, under such a swift and violent whipping of the iron chain, his right hand must be difficult to save, either dead or disabled.And the reason why he was relieved was not only because he was lucky enough to survive, but also because he had great confidence in Hu Zheng, the standard-bearer.

Not all tiger and ben warriors can be appreciated by the Lord like the generals of the Wuwei Army, leading a battalion of troops and galloping on the battlefield.

Some people, even though they have the courage that is inappropriate for everyone, but because of their humble origins, they are not good at speech, and they don't know how to write, it is difficult to stand out after all.

In this world, even if a scholar is poor, his status is higher than that of a martial artist.If it has a little more patience.It is easy to be appreciated by the superiors, and then get the desired official position.But warriors are not.Maybe he has extraordinary martial arts skills, but because of his dull personality, he can't win the favor of the general, so he can only stick to his post in obscurity and be buried among thousands of troops.

Hu Zheng, the flag bearer of the Xiliang Army, is such a person.

Hu Zheng was originally nameless. He was a homeless child whose parents died. He didn't even remember his own surname. He only had a baby name, which was called "Zhengwa".At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a severe drought in Liangzhou.Hungry people are everywhere, but Zhengwa, a vagrant, has a hard life. He begs everywhere with his survival instinct and eats everything. He grew up slowly from a small baby.By chance.He was also taught martial arts by a stranger, and since then he has been able to support himself.Say goodbye to the days of begging for food. At the age of 14, he joined Li Jue's tent.He traveled thousands of miles with the army, experienced countless bloody battles, and joined the army for seven years.He was slowly promoted from an ordinary soldier to a village chief based on his seniority.

A few months ago, Li Jue was strongly stimulated by Li Zhi who was next to Li Li, and returned to the army to select brave men on a large scale and pass the school examination.Zheng Wa stood out.The strength of his martial arts is still higher than that of the generals in the army, but he will not fight against warlike generals such as Guo Si and Zhang Xiu, so it is impossible to know the extent of his martial arts.Later, he was promoted to a small school and transferred to Li Jue's personal barracks, which can be regarded as a performance of emphasizing talents.

Zhengwa is not tall, only seven feet five inches (about 1.72 meters), she does not seem to be very strong, she has bronze skin, without a trace of fat, and she is extremely powerful and extremely explosive.Because of his curly brown hair, aquiline nose, and appearance somewhat similar to the Qiang people in the Western Regions, he is often regarded as a Hu'er, hence the name "Hu Zheng".Precisely because he looks like a Qianghu man, doesn't know Chinese characters, and looks different from ordinary people, he is dull by nature and reticent, so he is easily overlooked.Therefore, Li Jue only valued his bravery, only limited to bravery, and did not promote him exceptionally.In this battle, Shuaiqi absolutely cannot be lost. After thinking about it, Li Jue decided to let him be the flag bearer and be responsible for guarding Xiliang Shuaiqi.

Only a few people in the Xiliang Army had seen Hu Zheng's skills, and Li Meng and Wang Fang, the second generals of Heng Ha who were beside Li Jue, happened to be among them.It is no exaggeration to say that Li Meng and Wang Fang are not Hu Zheng's opponents if they fight together, they can last at most [-] rounds.It would be even more difficult if Hu Zheng tried his best to kill them, maybe they could be solved within ten minutes.Therefore, they vaguely felt that Hu Zheng's martial arts might not be inferior to Li Jue and Guo Si's, or even surpassed them.The reason why Hu Zheng was able to hold the flag this time was the result of the strong recommendation of Li Meng and Wang Fang.

The film is over, and the battle begins.

"Whoa, whoa!"

Two beams of cold light shot out against the last twilight of the setting sun, like two flying trains flying through the air, hitting Hu Zheng directly at the door.

Seeing the cold light approaching at first glance, Hu Zheng instantly let go of the flagpole that was deeply inserted into the soil with both hands, drew out his personal weapon from behind with both hands, and fought back head-on without fear.

"Dangdang!" With two crisp sounds, the pair of weapons in Hu Zheng's hands were suddenly entangled by the chains thrown by Li Zhifei.However, Hu Zheng remained motionless during the frontal confrontation, and did not take half a step back. Although his face was dignified, he showed no fear, and his expression was still resolute and calm, full of fighting spirit.

"Ugh!" Li Zhi, leaping into the air, saw that his double-chained volley did not knock down the unremarkable standard-bearer, but was caught in the chain by a pair of hatchets in his hand, and he couldn't break free for a while.

In an instant, Li Zhi relied on the strength of the flag bearer to twist the chain, his arms suddenly exerted force, and his body turned sideways in an instant, and with the momentum of a golden rooster independent, his right foot went straight to the flag bearer's chest and kicked.Hu Zheng, the flag bearer, also reacted very quickly. At the moment when the chain loosened, he gritted his teeth and swung his arms. On the contrary, Xing was dragged sideways by the huge force from the chain and flew out.

"Boom!" Li Zhi finally realized that the flag bearer in front of him was definitely a tough opponent, and he was also the most difficult opponent he had encountered so far.The depth of this person's martial arts can't be seen for the time being, but his physical strength is extremely strong. With this strength alone, he has the combat power of a top-level warrior and a low-level warrior. The most important thing is that the pair of hatchets in this person's hands are extremely strange. Moreover, they are also a pair of extremely rare ancient god soldiers. (The antiquity mentioned here is not the long ancient period, but the Shang, Zhou and Warring States periods before the Great Qin Dynasty.)

Looking closely at the pair of hatchets in Hu Zheng's hands, they were actually not axes, but two paired axes with short handles.

Yue, a popular weapon in the Western Zhou Dynasty, is shaped like an axe but bigger than an axe.Among the eighteen weapons accompanied by the emperor Luanjia, there is usually a yellow Yue guard of honor.

The pair of battle-axes is generally a long weapon with a pole one zhang long. There is a battle-axe at each end of the pole, and a small battle-axe at the lower end of the two battle-axes, which are perpendicular to the pole.The strike method of Yue is similar to that of battle axe, so it is often named together with ax and called "axe".

Yue is a heavy weapon, its weight is still higher than that of the battle axe, and it is far inferior to weapons such as long Ge, spear, halberd and spear, so it is gradually replaced by other weapons.Ordinary generals would not use such physically demanding weapons.Over time, this kind of weapon that was popular in the Western Shang Dynasty was reduced to a strange weapon. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, few people used the battle axe as a portable weapon anymore.

Hu Zheng held a pair of short battleaxes. The shaft was five feet long, the blade was more than one foot long, one finger thick, and one foot high.A single war-axe weighs no less than fifty catties, and a pair of battle-axes together weighs over a hundred catties.This kind of short-handled pairing axe was rarely used even in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Now at the end of the Han Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to call it a strange weapon.

"So-and-so is Li Zhi, the commander of the Golden Guards. Who are you?" Li Zhi didn't attack immediately after his feet fell to the ground. Instead, he reported his name to show his respect for the flag bearer.
