The Three Kingdoms of the Lu family

() Bang, bang!

The machine guns of the ballista rang continuously, and a thousand Thunderbolt chariots were divided into three rows, spewing out a torrential rain of crossbow arrows without interruption.

The distance of only 150 steps was an insurmountable gap for the charging cavalry. Just a round of arrow rain passed, and a thick layer of the coalition cavalry of [-] people was cut off.

The cavalry behind were still screaming desperately, trying to rein in their horses, but except for Ma Chao, who forcibly used his divine power to rein in the reins, the rest of the soldiers continued to charge forward due to inertia.

Although it was only a dozen steps forward, these ten steps were the distance between heaven and hell.

The crossbow arrows are still firing continuously, and three rows of ballista carts are enough to carry out intensive firing for a period of time, on the entire battlefield.There was the hum of crossbow arrows piercing the air everywhere, as well as the shrill screams of the coalition cavalry before they died.

Within [-] steps from the ballista, the corpses of the coalition soldiers and horses fell down, and [-] steps away, the remaining coalition cavalry looked at the extremely bloody scene in front of them in horror, hesitating whether they should continue to charge.

"Kill! Their crossbow arrows can't be endless! Kill them and avenge your brothers!"

Ma Chao's eyes were red, it was just a round of attack, more than two thousand soldiers and horses in his army fell on the way of the charge, his heart was bleeding, and then he was furious.

Pulling out a crossbow bolt inserted into his shoulder, Ma Chao let out a roar, and launched another charge just as the ballista's first round of attacks stopped.

"Kill!"

Seeing that Ma Chao took the lead in the charge, and the Bingzhou Army's crossbow carts also fell into a short pause, the cavalry of the coalition army immediately showed infinite courage, their eyes were blood red, and they urged their horses to gallop.

On the horseback, someone even took out the javelin on his back, preparing to start shooting as soon as he got close to the target. ,

"Uncle Zhang! Change to you guys!"

Although the ballista is extremely powerful, it also has an obvious weakness, that is, it is extremely slow to reload.Fortunately, the first round of launching had disrupted the formation of the allied cavalry, so Lu Yi immediately asked Zhang Liao's heavy cavalry to resist.

Gao Shun, who was in front, also quickly ordered the ballista to retreat towards the two sides, giving way enough for the cavalry to charge.

Behind the passage, the [-] heavy cavalry led by Zhang Liao have long been waiting in full force. They are all covered in iron armor from head to toe, and they look like iron men. Only the black eyes exposed under the helmet are constantly turning, which shows that they are still alive. .

The coalition cavalry was getting closer, and those who charged at the front had already started throwing javelins. Zhang Liao, who had received the military order, rode his horse and approached the cavalry without any nonsense. He raised his Shu knife high and shouted: "Follow me!"

"kill!"

The three thousand heavy armor roared in unison, leveled the iron halberd in their hands, and immediately launched a charge. In an instant, as if the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, under the leadership of Zhang Liao, the three thousand cavalry were like a torrent of steel, without fear. He greeted the cavalry of the coalition army.

"Shoot the gun!"

Seeing a group of heavy cavalry approaching, Ma Chao's complexion changed drastically, and his envious eyes turned red.

He also has heavy cavalry under his command, but they are only half body armor. How can there be such luxury as wolf cavalry with horses and horses covered with armor?The most important thing is that they were attacked by ballistas just now, and the cavalry formation of the coalition army was already in disarray.

Therefore, Ma Chao could only order the soldiers to attack Zhang Liao's heavy cavalry with the javelins they were about to throw at the infantry, and then killed them in a rage.

Jingle Jingle!

The spears of the coalition cavalry kept shooting at the wolf cavalry, but apart from attacking their own vital points, the charging wolf cavalry didn't bother to dodge other places.The thick armor completely withstood these attacks.

"Damn it! Soldiers, let me kill you! Crush them!"

Throwing the gun did not have any effect, and Ma Chao was furious. He waved the dragon spear in his hand, and could only lead the coalition cavalry to fight the wolf cavalry head-on.

boom!

The two steel torrents collided in an instant, both shouted at the same time, waved their weapons, and stabbed desperately into the enemy's chest.

Immediately, the neighing of horses, the clashing of weapons, and the screams of human beings rushing towards the battlefield, both sides did not back down in the slightest.

Relying on their excellent armor, the wolf cavalry rushed and fought, crushing the enemy group all the way, taking the lives of countless coalition cavalry, but the coalition cavalry had a large number of troops, especially Ma Chao's troops, who belonged to Xiliang cavalry They were elite, and their combat power was not lost to the wolf cavalry at all. The two sides shouted to kill Zhentian, and fell into a melee for a while.

Ma Teng, who was behind, saw that the battle was unfavorable, and Ma Chao was unable to open the situation for a long time, and his heart suddenly fell into anxiety. Fearing that Ma Chao would be outnumbered, he hurriedly ordered the whole army to attack.

Immediately, the left-wing Ma Wanyan of the coalition army, the right-wing candidate Pang De and others ended their fighting one after another and began to lead the soldiers to charge.

Ma Dai of the Chinese army also led the infantry to charge under Ma Teng's order.

On the side of the Bingzhou Army, Gao Shun had just ordered people to fill the ballista. Seeing the coalition army launching a general attack, he immediately ordered the ballista to move forward again. Raise your shield against the rain of arrows.

Although the howling ballista often pierced the wooden shields of the infantry of the coalition army, the casualties caused were not as great as those caused by the cavalry.

Ma Teng sneered even more, and scolded: "Tie Lu, do you think you can use such a trick against the old man a second time? Order the whole army to fight to the death and defeat them!"

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work!"

Lu Yi didn't expect to rely on the ballista to be successful, this thing can only be used unexpectedly once or twice.The outcome of a war depends on people!

In front, Zhang Liao's wolf cavalry was still fighting with Ma Chao. Both sides fought a real battle. People screamed and fell off their horses all the time. The only consequence of falling was being trampled into mud by disordered horses!

Especially the heavy cavalry, the armor is heavy, once they fall off the horse, they will have to wait for death, so Zhang Liao has always led the heavy cavalry in a tight formation to minimize casualties.

Lu Yi watched for a while, and saw that he could not tell the outcome in a short period of time, and the trappers had already acted as sharp knives, leading the infantry into the coalition's formation.

The Wudang Flying Army was a little more shameless, and was actually led by Wang Ping to the left wing, and specifically attacked the Qiang and Hu cavalry of the coalition army. Compared with the Han cavalry, most of the foreign cavalry, which had always been poor, were wearing leather clothing and had extremely weak defenses. ,

Wudang Flying Army took a fancy to this, and ran fast on their legs, while resisting the cavalry's rain of arrows with rattan badges, while throwing javelins and throwing knives at the same time, Zang Ba was behind him with a bow and crossbow, and he also killed loudly Otherwise, the two sides are temporarily tied.

On the right wing, it was more difficult.The central army and the left wing were unable to make progress for a long time, so Ma Teng simply concentrated all his last troops on the right wing, and sent Pang De to lead Yan Xingma to attack in turn.

Although the veteran Yan Yan led the crossbowmen to stop them desperately, the army formation was almost broken by the cavalry of Pound and others several times, and even sent people to ask for support several times.

When Lu Yi heard the news, he smiled slightly. He didn't mean to mobilize soldiers and horses, but told Yan Yan to stand firm to block the enemy's impact.

But his gaze was fixed on the movement of Ma Teng opposite him.

Without reinforcements, Yan Yan's left wing became more precarious. Seeing this, Pound and others attacked more fiercely, and even Pound almost led the cavalry to break through the formation.

Fortunately, Yan Yan tried his best to block Pound. The two fought for [-] rounds, coupled with a large number of bows and crossbows, and they barely withstood this round of impact.

But everyone can see that if the coalition forces make another round of onslaught, Yan Yan's left wing will definitely be defeated!In such a situation, even Ma Teng behind was startled.

After a little hesitation, Ma Teng even made an important decision, ordering the last group of soldiers around him to join Pound on the left wing to launch the final blow to Yan Yan.

When Han Sui saw it, his brows frowned immediately, and he felt something was wrong. He opened his mouth to persuade, but Ma Teng had already brought his troops to support Pound.

When the coalition forces on the left saw Ma Teng personally leading the troops, their morale was greatly increased. They all screamed, and the offensive became more rapid.

Yan Yan's pressure suddenly increased, and he ordered his deputy general Wu Lan to lead the troops to resist, but Yan Yan ran to the central army covered in blood, rolled off his horse, knelt down in front of Lu Yi, and shouted: "My lord, the left wing of the coalition army is attacking fiercely. , the old man is about to be unable to resist, please send General Zilong to support quickly!"

"Don't worry, old general. You just need to order people to shout in the army. If you don't do anything now, let alone when you wait, you can turn the crisis into safety!"

Hearing Yan Yan's words, Lu Yi laughed, and ordered, although he can also send Zhao Yun's cavalry, but this is his trump card, and it cannot be used until the critical moment!

"that's it?"

Yan Yan was a little dumbfounded, he didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Lu Yi's gourd, but the military order had been issued, and Yan Yan also understood that Lu Yi couldn't make fun of the lives of thousands of soldiers, so he could only rush back to the army, Immediately ordered people to yell.

Immediately, the accents of the roaring soldiers changed, and they shouted in unison: "My lord, if you don't do anything now, when will you wait?"

The soldiers of the coalition army who were still desperately attacking were stunned when they heard the words, unable to understand what the order was.

Ma Teng almost died laughing, and said to the left and right: "Lu Zei is poor! He didn't even choose a nice name to boost morale!"

"So it was to boost morale, hahaha..." Hearing Ma Teng's words, the people around him laughed wantonly.

Only Yan Xing, who was deliberately lagging behind, didn't smile, but instead showed a strange smile on his face. From the very beginning of the war, he secretly led his subordinates to deliberately lag behind, working without any effort, just waiting for the opponent on the other side Signal.

The shouts of the soldiers of Bingzhou were the secret code agreed between Jia Xu and Yan Xing.If Yan Xing were to turn against him during the war and disrupt the coalition forces, it would be best to kill Ma Teng.

"This is the time! Brothers, Ma Teng is unkind, and Han Sui is unrighteous! I will be ordered by General Zhenxi to kill Ma Teng, and anyone who is willing to follow me will be killed!"

Just when Yan Yan ordered people to shout, the trusted Yan Xing also shouted, and first raised the bright silver hammer in his hand, and with a bang, he smashed it at the horse that had just stepped back beside him.

Ma Wan was caught off guard, his entire head was immediately crushed by Yan Xing, and he died tragically under the horse.

Seeing Yan Xing's hands, his subordinates were slightly taken aback, and then they all realized that they were Yan Xing's subordinates, and they had to communicate with each other a long time ago. Seeing Yan Xing's hands at this time, they all drew their swords and moved towards The coalition soldiers around him hacked and killed.

The soldiers of the coalition army who were rushing to kill immediately fell into chaos. Many people were so shocked that they had no time to react, and died tragically under the sword of their own people.

Ma Teng was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and said angrily, "Yan Xing, how dare you rebel!"

Yan Xing sneered, and didn't talk to Ma Wan, he smashed Ma Wan to death with a hammer, roared, and even killed Ma Teng who was not far away.

"Protect the lord!"

Several young generals of Ma Teng were furious and rushed forward one after another, trying to stop him.

"Ma Teng, you must die!"

Yan Xing yelled loudly, and waved a pair of silver hammers, waved a huge silver millstone, waved left and right, and made a few puffs, smashing all those who approached to death from the horse.

"Pound save me!"

Seeing the vicious Yan Xing approaching, Ma Teng knew that his martial arts skills were no match for him, so he turned his head and shouted Pound.

At this time, Pang De was still attacking Yan Yan's army in front, and he was about to break through, but he didn't expect that Yan Xing would suddenly rebel, and even went straight to Ma Teng.

Pound was so frightened that he couldn't care less about rushing into battle. With the cavalry, he quickly retreated and killed Yan Xing. While running, he cursed: "Shameless villain, how dare you betray the Lord? My lord, don't panic!" , Pang De came too!"

"The whole army obeys the order, charge for this general! Zilong, the enemy army is in disarray, it's up to you! Let me crush them!"

Seeing the chaos on the left wing of the coalition forces, Lu Yi knew that Yan Xing had already made a move, and knew that the opportunity must not be missed, so he immediately ordered the whole army to charge, and wanted to destroy the coalition forces in one battle.

Even after the start of the war, Zhao Yun's [-] light cavalry, which had never been used, were all sent up!Immediately, the ground trembled again, and seven thousand light cavalry, like a gust of wind, rushed into the battlefield roaring, killing wantonly.

The first thing Zhao Yun attacked was Ma Chao's large group of cavalry. At this time, Ma Chao had found Zhang Liao, and stabbed wildly with his coiling dragon spear, trying to kill Zhang Liao.

But Zhang Liao's martial arts skills are also extremely high, with thick armor on his body, he is not afraid of Ma Chao at all, the two fought wildly, and no one dared to approach.

At this moment, Ma Teng's left wing collapsed, Yan Xing rebelled, and began to massacre the infantry of the coalition army, destroying the army formation of the coalition army. Ma Chao was shocked and was about to return to help when Zhao Yun led Qingqi to fight out again.

Ma Chao panicked even more, with a loud roar, the Coiling Dragon Spear went out to sea like a dragon, and its murderous aura swept towards Zhang Liao like a stormy sea.

when!

Zhang Liao's eyes were also wide open, and he raised the Shu knife desperately in his hand, trying to block Ma Chao's terrifying blow, who knew that he slashed through with the knife, but missed, Ma Chao turned around long ago, and retreated quickly.

Seeing Ma Chao's retreat, the cavalry of the Ma family quickly left the battlefield and followed closely without ordering them. However, they were only a minority after all, and most of the cavalry of the coalition army had not recovered from Yan Xing's sudden rebellion. , a beat slower.

It's just this one shot that made them lose the chance to escape. The light cavalry rushed over madly. They were already full of anger. Now when they went to the battlefield, they all screamed and rushed up. .

Without stopping Ma Chao, Zhang Liao also vented his anger on this group of coalition cavalry, leading the heavy cavalry to charge wildly, and the killed coalition cavalry howled like ghosts and wolves.

Han De, Cheng Yi, Yang Qiu and other Xiliang generals were eager to make meritorious service, and even charged at the front, killing the original Paoze without mercy.

With the addition of such a terrifying force, the coalition cavalry who lost Ma Chao's command immediately collapsed, shattered by the impact, and began to flee in all directions.

At this moment, the flag of the commander in chief of the coalition army that had been erected suddenly fell down again, but Ma Teng ran too fast, and Yan Xing failed to catch up, so he had to smash the flag of the commander in chief of the Chinese army with a hammer.

As soon as the handsome flag fell, the coalition soldiers completely lost their command, and the originally high morale fell to the bottom in an instant.Countless people gave up fighting and turned around to flee.

A total of [-] coalition soldiers collapsed in the blink of an eye, and the mountains and plains were full of fleeing soldiers.

But how could Lu Yi let them escape?Immediately ordered Zhao Yun and other cavalry to launch a pursuit, chasing and killing the defeated coalition soldiers wantonly.

He even ordered people to erect and lower the flag, and wantonly recruited prisoners.

"Surrender without killing!"

As soon as the flag was lowered, the Bingzhou soldiers who were chasing and killing were shouting and chasing the defeated coalition troops in groups of three or five. Often, dozens of coalition soldiers who could be driven out by three or five people fled in embarrassment.

When it was really impossible to escape, these coalition soldiers just knelt down and begged for surrender.However, more people still want to resist. Once they feel that someone is catching up from behind, they will turn around and kill the enemy.

Naturally, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun's cavalry took action on these people. When they found any resistance, the cavalry roared over and charged, and the coalition soldiers immediately dispersed.

After a full half a day, this chase gradually stopped.Lu Yizu ordered his men to chase for hundreds of miles, and stopped the pursuit when he saw it was getting dark.

Afterwards, the Ma Teng coalition army dispatched a total of more than [-] troops in this battle, of which nearly [-] coalition soldiers died on the battlefield, and [-] soldiers were either captured or captured alive!Ma Teng and other generals in Guanzhong fled back to Jincheng in embarrassment with more than [-] remnants of soldiers, severely injured.

Lu Yi originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack Jincheng, but considering that the sudden addition of [-] captives would be a huge instability factor, he stopped advancing and instead seized the time to regroup the captives.

During the period, Yan Xing brought his subordinate generals to plead guilty.Lu Yi quickly helped him up, and ordered him to meet Han Dechengyi and others.

The two sides are both generals in Guanzhong, and it is inevitable that they will be very sad when they meet each other.Yan Xing was even more frowning, and he cupped his hands to Lu Yi and said, "General Lu, I have followed your order and repelled Ma Teng's coalition forces. I wonder if the general can let my father go?"

"Hahaha... General Yan thought he would put your family in prison?" Lu Yi smiled slightly, patted Yan Xing on the shoulder, and said jokingly.

Yan Xing was immediately relieved, knowing that his family had not been wronged, he glanced at Lu Yi gratefully, then cupped his hands and said, "General Lu, now that the war is over and Ma Teng is far away, I wonder if the general can go home for a while?"

"Yes! I'll give you three days off, and after three days, you can come to our army to serve!" Lu Yi nodded, comforted Yan Xing, and asked him to step down.

Yan Xing didn't refuse either, he saluted respectfully, then hurriedly resigned and went to see his old father.

Lu Yi didn't have that much free time. After the war was over, he needed to record the achievements of the generals, reward those who made meritorious deeds, and appease the soldiers. In the end, even the governor Wei Kang came to congratulate him, and chatted with Wei Kang for a while, and then Lu Yicai If I had time, I ordered someone to fetch the latest information from Chen Gong, and looked at it with a frown.
