Chapter 425 The Arrow
It can be said that Liu Jing paid little attention to Liu Bei. Although he had no information about Liu Bei's going south, he still deployed [-] elite troops as a reserve team before the war, including two battalions of thousands of cavalry led by Liu Liang.As long as the Zuo army can resist Liu Bei's army for a moment, when the reserve troops of Cai Sheng and Liu Liang arrive, they will surely defeat Liu Bei.

As a result, what people didn't expect was that Chu Fang, the general of the Zuo Army, was attacked and killed by Guan Yu at the beginning of the battle, which directly led to the collapse of the Zuo Army.

Seeing that Liu Bei immediately turned his troops to attack the central army after defeating the left army, Cai Sheng and Liu Liang couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

At this time, Liu Jingzhong's army only had 4000 people, while Liu Bei's infantry had three or four thousand people. Liu Bei took the momentum of breaking the left army, and swept down, sweeping the Chinese army, and the Chinese army was in danger!Liu Jing is in danger!

Liu Jing must not be allowed to fall into danger. Cai Sheng and Liu Liang reached a consensus in an instant.

The soldiers of the left army abandoned their armor and dragged their troops all the way, galloping like wolves, when they suddenly saw thousands of cavalry galloping towards them, they fled to both sides in great horror.

After seeing the cavalry, followed by thousands of infantry, the soldiers of the left army felt a little more at ease. Only then did they have the courage to look behind them, but unexpectedly found that it was not Liu Beijun who was chasing them, but the barbarians.

The generals of the left army were furious. They had beaten the barbarians to the verge of collapse before. If Liu Bei hadn't intervened suddenly, they would have defeated the barbarians long ago.Thinking that he was being chased by the barbarians in the middle of the river and was in a panic, the soldiers' lungs were about to explode.

The Zuo army was defeated too quickly, the soldiers ran to pieces, and only one out of ten of them died in the battle. Gao Xiang took the opportunity to gather the soldiers, and in a short while, he got more than [-] soldiers, and immediately counterattacked the barbarians.

"Boom... boom..."

Thousands of horses are galloping, iron hoofs are like thunder, shaking the earth, smoke and dust fill the sky, and the sky and the earth are also changed, let alone people?The soldiers of the left army chose to give way, and the barbarians scattered like birds and beasts.

Of course, there are those who can't dodge, or those who don't know whether they are dead or alive, stand in the way of the iron cavalry, but the iron cavalry gallops past, but they are submerged in countless iron hooves without even raising a wave.

Cai Sheng and Liu Liang didn't have time to pay attention to these barbarians. In order to stop Liu Beijun, they galloped at full speed without any hesitation.

However, Cai Sheng and Liu Liang hurried forward, but they were still one step too late. Liu Bei's cavalry had already entered the position of the Chinese army, but Liu Bei's infantry was still behind, which was a blessing in misfortune.

Cai Sheng and Liu Ming glanced at each other, and after a little adjustment, each led a battalion of cavalry to charge Liu Bei's infantry.

Liu Jingjun's horses were all equipped with horseshoes. Thousands of iron hooves stepped on the ground, and the huge roar erupted, as if the sky was falling apart. Although there were only a thousand horses, there were thousands of horses.

Chen Dao was in the formation, watching Liu Jingjun's cavalry charge forward, with a particularly dignified expression.

He is a native of Runan, Yuzhou. During Chuping years, his family fled to Huainan because of the military turmoil in his hometown.At the beginning of Xingping, Liu Bei was named the governor of Yuzhou by Tao Qianbiao. Because Yuzhou had been in chaos for a long time, and Liu Bei was known for benevolence and righteousness, he and many people in Yuzhou, including Chen Qun, joined Liu Bei's command.

Chen Dao followed Liu Bei for eight years, fought against heroes from all walks of life, encountered many famous cavalry in the world, such as Lv Bu's Bingzhou Xiaoqi, Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry, and watching Liu Jingjun's cavalry charge, he was also worthy of "fine cavalry" "Two words.

Jingnan is not a place where horses are produced, and the people of Jingnan have always used boats as horses. Liu Jing was able to train a large-scale elite cavalry in Jingnan, which has to be said to be an anomaly.

Liu Bei's infantry was composed of refugees from Guanzhong and Nanyang, and the middle and high-level generals were mostly Liu Bei's old troops. Therefore, although they were not very calm in the face of cavalry assaults, they did not panic like Liu Jing's soldiers.

Under the calm command of generals Chen Dao, Zhuo Ying, and Shi Ren, Liu Bei's infantry phalanx fired with bows and crossbows, and arrows rained down on Liu Jing's cavalry.

The cavalry of Liu Jingjun who were charging also raised their crossbows to fight back, but they did not pursue a covering attack, but concentrated their attack on one point. There were several huge gaps in the originally black and airtight wall.

Before the infantry of Liu Bei's army blocked the gaps, the cavalry of Liu Jing's army had already arrived, rushing into the formation along the gaps one by one.

Although Cai Sheng didn't rush to the front, he was also the first group to enter the battle. Liu Bei's army lined up very tightly, and he was closely protected by personal guards on both sides, but he couldn't block all the attacks.

Faced with the enemy spears flying towards him, Cai Sheng did not panic. With the help of the horse's charge, he swung the spear left and right in his hand, sweeping away the enemy spears in one fell swoop. Slashed the throats of two enemy soldiers like a dragonfly on water, ran for a few steps, and killed three more.

The trilogy of Cai Sheng's personal guards are all Changsha warriors and swordsmen. They have been fighting with Cai Sheng for many years, and they are extremely brave.

With Cai Sheng and his personal guards leading the way, hundreds of cavalry galloped and marched forward.

On the other side, Liu Liang didn't give in too much. The two cavalry, like two dragons raging in the sea, writhed in the enemy's formation to their heart's content.

Generals Chen Dao, Zhuo Ying, and Shi Ren either waved flags and commanded from the center, or took the lead without avoiding danger, trying to block and suppress the cavalry of Cai Sheng and Liu Liang.But Cai Sheng and Liu Liang are not stupid, they do not confront the enemy head-on, but focus on the weak points of the enemy's defense.

If it was a phalanx of spears and sabers, they would try to avoid it as much as possible. If it was a phalanx of bows and crossbows, they would ride straight into it, and then walk away without giving the enemy time to outflank.

Cai Shengyong was unstoppable. Under his leadership, the cavalry pierced through Liu Bei's infantry phalanx, galloped out from the other side, turned a corner, and then rushed in from a weak point. Afterwards, wantonly charged and killed.

Chen Dao originally hid behind and commanded, but seeing that there was nothing he could do to take Cai Sheng, if he was allowed to fall into the battle repeatedly, his side would be overwhelmed by the opponent sooner or later.

And Cai Sheng also saw Chen Dao, and immediately turned around, heading straight to kill Chen Dao.

Chen Dao sat on the horse calmly, quietly took the bow in his hand, when Cai Sheng rushed to more than ten steps away from his subordinates, Chen Dao raised his bow and shot a cold arrow.

The long arrow left the string immediately, turned into a black light, passed through the crowd, and hit Cai Sheng's forehead.

The cluster of arrows shot through Cai Sheng's pocket in an instant. Fortunately, the shaft of the arrow was caught by the armor plate, and the cluster of arrows could not go deep, only piercing his forehead.

Cai Sheng couldn't help being taken aback, he felt a hot flow from his forehead, he wiped it with his hand, and found that it was his own blood.

"Zhonglang..."

"Brother..."

The left and right guards were all shocked when they saw Cai Sheng's arrow bleeding.

Cai Sheng ignored the guards on the left and right, and looked at Chen Dao who held his bow in the distance with scarlet eyes. He saw that this man was majestic and honest, but he didn't expect to stab someone in the back. Cai Sheng roared angrily: "Don't kill me!" You, I swear that you will not draw the arrow!" After speaking, he rode his horse and raised his spear, and charged straight at Chen Dao.
