Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 147
The drizzle fell evenly. Huainan has a southern climate, and rain is a common occurrence. The humidity and heat in the air are a disaster for Hou Cheng who is used to the northern climate. It is not as simple as the heat. The summer is also hot, but it is more like roasting on a stove. The summer in the south feels more like being in a steamer. The stuffy feeling in the air makes people who are not used to the climate here feel that the next moment may be stuffy. die.

Even though it was drizzling at the moment, the feeling of stuffiness did not diminish in the slightest.

"It's said that Jiangdong people are prone to die early, and it's no wonder they don't die if they live in this kind of place every day!" Hou Cheng depressedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and cursed angrily, fighting in this place is really a crime.

"The general has never been to Jiangdong. The climate in Jiangdong is more uncomfortable than here, and the summer is even hotter than here, but in winter, the coldness is also crippling." A general beside him was an earlier General Danyang, who had stayed in Jiangdong, was accustomed to the climate here, and explained with a smile when facing Hou Cheng's complaints.

"No wonder the last time we said we should take Jiangdong first, the military adviser and Ziyan didn't agree." Hou Cheng smacked his lips. Someone had proposed to fight Jiangdong first, have a big rear and then fight Cao Cao hard, but it was rejected by Chen Gong and Chu Nan. Now, Hou Cheng didn't know what the two of them were thinking, but now Hou Cheng felt that it was pointless to fight Jiangdong, that place was too unfriendly to men born in the north like them.

"This land of Jiangdong is good if you get used to it..." General Danyang also wanted to explain that Jiangdong is not that bad, but you northerners can't accept it all at once, but Hou Cheng stopped him before he finished speaking.

"Someone is coming!" Hou Cheng frowned and looked at the scouts on the top of the mountain who were waving the command flag in this direction, and immediately raised the command flag in his hand, and the three armies stopped immediately.

After Chu Nan helped them transform the Lingqi, Hou Cheng felt that he had a deeper understanding of the Nine Secrets of the Imperial Army, and it was like a divine aid. Not only was the speed nearly twice as fast as before, but the power was also strengthened a lot.

After a while, a black line gradually appeared in the rain curtain at the end of the road in the distance. Hou Chengshen focused his eyes and saw that a Lu flag was not stuck together in the rain curtain, and then it was thrown away again. Soldiers and horses dressed in black and white are rushing here.

Hou Cheng looked in the direction of the scouts, but he saw the scouts waving the command flag one after another, and the general Danyang helped to report the number: "There are about one battalion of troops, one battalion of foot, and ambushes are temporarily found around."

In the Han military system, there are about 400 people in one division, two divisions in one battalion, and five divisions at most, and five divisions or 2000 people horses in one battalion.

"Array!" Hou Cheng waved his command flag, looked at the approaching enemy with a bit of disdain, and raised his hand high: "Feng Zi Mi, attack quickly!"

Following his order, when the formation changed behind him, the archers with bows and arrows on their backs quickly appeared in the front row, drew their bows and set arrows, and quickly shot crossbow arrows.

The nine secrets of the imperial army, each secret has a different usage. At first, the secret of wind can only speed up the marching speed of the army, but it can also be used to attack when it is cultivated to a high level. arrow speed.

Originally, Hou Cheng couldn't do this, but since he got Chu Nan's enhanced version of Shuai Qi and Ling Qi, Hou Cheng realized the new usage of Feng Zi Mi.

But for a moment, the sky was full of arrows, and the arrow formation composed of thousands of people unexpectedly exploded with the effect of firing ten thousand arrows together.

Seeing this, Lu Meng, who was running fast, didn't care that the opponent was able to shoot arrows from such a long distance, so he sternly shouted: "Iron Wall!"

However, the formation was slow after all, and when he formed an formation to block, dozens of soldiers in the front row had already fallen into a pool of blood. Fortunately, Lu Meng had a solid foundation, and after the iron wall rose, all the arrows that followed were killed. Bounce away, but even so, morale has also been frustrated.

"Arrangement, attack quickly!" Hou Cheng laughed when he saw this, and he didn't know whether the opponent was Chen Deng's subordinates or Jiangdong's people, but it seemed that his skills were average, so he raised his spear high, led his troops to form an offensive posture, and rushed fiercely. to the opponent.

While running, there was a faint fire around Xuzhou's army, and the surrounding rain seemed to be transpiring as soon as it touched the opponent's formation. From Lu Meng's point of view, the opponent seemed to have disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of hurried footsteps, hitting the iron wall fiercely.

The army formation formed by the Jiangdong Army was violently disordered at the moment of collision. Lu Meng only felt that the formation that was smoothed by him began to become disordered. At this moment, the army formation felt uncontrollable!
Horrified in his heart, his whole body was full of vigor, and he shouted: "It doesn't move like a mountain!"

In terms of defense, the iron wall can be regarded as an upgraded version of the immovable mountain in Shan Zi Mi, but in terms of stability, he is better at the latter. With his stern shout, the disorder caused by the opponent's collision was immediately healed a lot .

The mist cleared, and he saw a general of the enemy army holding a spear head-on, and the fierce qi had already stabbed fiercely at the intersection of the two battle formations. From a close distance, Lu Meng felt that the other party's smile was particularly ferocious, and a trace of anger arose in his heart. A timid, immature face showed a trace of fear, and subconsciously avoided it!
But this evasion, the original heart suddenly dissipated, and for the soul of the three armies, especially on this battlefield that relies heavily on the army formation, the heart was frustrated, and the first reaction was on the army formation. The suppressed army formation was weakened by [-]% in an instant as Lu Meng felt timid. When Lu Meng reacted and wanted to regain his strength, there was still no time.

The army's spirit is easy to disperse and difficult to gather, otherwise the generals would not be so precious.

The already suppressed army formation was instantly shattered as Hou Cheng stabbed out with a spear.

"Kill!" With Hou Cheng's loud shout, the horse's hooves smashed through the broken army formation, and Hou Cheng leaped straight towards Lu Meng with his spear.

Lu Meng suppressed the panic in his heart, summoned up his courage and raised his gun to face Hou Cheng, but Hou Cheng was supported by the army at this moment, Lv Meng's army formation had been broken, and the two sides had little difference in martial prowess, at this moment it was equivalent to resisting with one man's strength. How can a general who is as brave as himself and has [-] soldiers to help him be able to stop him.

"Boom~"

The spears collided, but there was an explosion, the spear broke, and Lu Meng was also knocked away by a huge force, rushing into the crowd like a cannonball, knocking over in an instant, his head tilted, and he fell unconscious.

"kill!"

As soon as Hou Cheng broke through the formation, his morale was shaken. With a roar, he didn't care about the life and death of the young general. He rushed past with 3000 people and horses. The [-] elite guards were killed in an instant, and they ran in all directions in a panic.

"Who are you waiting for!" Hou Cheng broke up the opponent's army, picked up a thief general who was too late to escape with a spear, and asked sharply.

"Jiangdong, under General Lu Meng's tent!" The general dared not look directly at Hou Cheng, and said in a low voice.

"Jiangdong?" Hou Cheng laughed, and suddenly lifted the Jiangdong general into the air with all his strength, then pierced the Jiangdong general's body with a shaking hand, hung on the spear like this, and laughed wildly: "Jiangdong rat, that's all there is to it!" How dare you dare to offend my master, Huwei, with your abilities!? You really are beyond your control!"

Lu Meng was thrown in a mess, and finally woke up, but what he saw was the corpses of Jiangdong soldiers all over the ground, and Hou Cheng's arrogant voice came from a distance, he couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood, and looked angrily. Looking in the direction of Hou Cheng, he turned around and fell into the rain curtain. Although he was angry with Hou Cheng for being rampant, how could he resist that Hou Cheng with his current appearance?

Stumbling back all the way, the rain started to fall heavily, so Hou Cheng obviously didn't want to go forward in the rain, he must have started looking for places to hide from the rain. Lu Meng ran back for more than ten miles, seeing that the sky was getting dark, and a faint sight appeared in front of him. At the camp, Lu Meng looked intently, seeing that it was Jiang Qin's camp, he was overjoyed, and hurried away with all his strength.

Seeing someone coming, the soldiers who were guarding the gate quickly drew their bows and set up arrows.

"It's me, Lu Meng!" Lu Meng shouted hoarsely.

The soldiers at the gate saw Lu Meng's appearance clearly, relaxed their guard, opened the door to let Lu Meng in, and sent someone to inform Jiang Qin.

Jiang Qin was not too surprised when he heard that Lu Meng was defeated. After all, Zhou Yu's order was a false defeat, but when he saw Lu Meng's appearance clearly, he couldn't help being shocked.

"Ziming, although the governor told you to feign defeat, he didn't let you lose so simply!" Jiang Qin frowned as he saw Lu Meng's appearance.

Lu Meng smiled bitterly when he heard the words, and said sadly: "The last general is really defeated, the soldiers under his command fled everywhere, and there are not many seen along the way."

"I heard from Chen Deng that although Hou Cheng's martial arts skills are good, but when it comes to using troops, how many troops does he have?" Jiang Qin frowned.

According to what Chen Deng said, although Hou Cheng's ability is number one under Lu Bu's command, he is far from the first echelon group. He is just an ordinary general. Doesn't sound like a big deal.

Although Lu Meng is young, he has good talent and his ability to command troops is not weak. According to Jiang Qin and Lu Meng's previous discussion, Lu Meng can really fight. In Jiang Qin's view, Lu Meng is not as good as Hou Cheng. The difference is not much, and it is very difficult to fight. He won, but he didn't expect to return from a disastrous defeat.

"This person is quite arrogant, but his ability is also extremely strong. He can change formations quickly, and he will be far behind in the end." Lu Meng was a little frustrated. According to Chen Deng, Hou Cheng was just a third-rate, and he was determined to squeeze into the second-rate ranks. But now he has beaten himself to the point where he has no power to fight back. Could it be that he is not even as good as a third-rate?

For a while, Lu Meng fell into deep frustration.

Jiang Qin asked someone to fetch clean clothes for Lu Meng, seeing him like this shook his head and said: "Zi Ming don't be discouraged, you are still young now, but Hou Cheng is nearly half a hundred years old, even if you lose today, you will fight again in the future , you may not lose to him, you can rest well, and I will meet him tomorrow!"

After appeasing Lu Meng, Jiang Qin also put away his underestimation of Hou Cheng, and at the same time suspected that it was Chen Deng who tripped them up. Hou Cheng's performance was by no means as useless as Chen Deng said, so he immediately sent someone to deliver the letter To Zhou Yu, clarify this matter, this Hou Cheng should not be underestimated!
