The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 68 The Times Create Heroes

After Zhao Kai's Shenyu Battalion arrived at the horse wall, they immediately shot and killed the generals of the Xiliang soldiers below with a strong crossbow. At this time, the attack range of the strong crossbow had reached more than a thousand steps, and the crossbow arrows were divided into stones as distance units: There are eight levels of one, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and ten stones. Generally, the six-stone crossbow is commonly used, and the range equivalent to the modern distance is about 260 meters.

The arrows were like life-threatening signs, reaping the lives of the generals of the Xiliang soldiers under the city. The horse-faced wall was a raised part of the city wall, and they could shoot from three sides. For a while, the Xiliang soldiers were in chaos.

At this time, military orders rely on banners and golden drums to send orders. Once the superior officer dies, it is very easy to cause the soldiers below to disperse. This is one of the reasons for many cases in history where the weak defeated the strong.

Li Jue frowned and saw the sharpness of Zhao Kai's Shenyu camp on the city wall on the cloud car, and immediately retreated with a lot of money.

Dongfang Sheng also heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Xiliang soldiers had withdrawn their troops with a lot of money. He also learned some things that ordinary people don't know through Huang Wan before. For example, on the battlefield, the golden drum is two utensils. It is made of animal hide attached to hollow wood.If the drum is heavy, it will advance, if the drum is heavy, it will hit, if the gold is heavy, it will stop, and if the gold is heavy, it will retreat.This is a basic term on the battlefield. If Dongfang Sheng doesn't understand these, it is estimated that he must be a stepping stone for others in the future struggle for hegemony.

The raised horse wall was dripping with blood, corpses and broken arms were scattered everywhere. Dongfang Sheng didn’t feel much about it. After all, he was also a soldier before he came here. The situation caused by some modern weapons such as bullets and grenades is definitely worse than those on the city wall. To shock.

Zhao Kai rushed to Dongfang Sheng's side to report: "My lord, we only lost five Shenyu Battalion soldiers in this battle, and the others were all slightly injured."

"Yes!" Dongfang Sheng nodded in praise.

"My lord, no one in the Dao camp was injured, only minor injuries!" Zhang Bao strode up to Dongfang Sheng with a ring-handled knife in his hand.

"Three people were lost in the Yanyue camp, and the rest were slightly injured." Chu Jian said in a rough voice, the Yanyue knife in his hand was still dripping with blood, his chest was exposed, revealing a tuft of black chest hair fluttering in the wind.

"No one in the dagger battalion was injured, and more than a dozen people were slightly injured." Hou Zi appeared in front of Dongfang Sheng with a dagger in hand.

"There were no casualties in the scout battalion, hehe." Shi Qian said with a grin.

"No one in the Tiger Wolf Camp was damaged, and twenty enemies were captured!" Wang Hu said proudly, and at the same time, the soldiers of the Tiger Wolf Camp behind him pressed a group of dejected Xiliang soldiers over.

"Not bad, not bad! Haha, this battle really showed our dragon and tiger cavalry style, and your hard training these days was not in vain. Now that the enemy soldiers have retreated, we should go back." Dongfang Sheng was very satisfied. Looking at the six captains, he said.

Among the six battalions, Wang Hu's Hulang battalion is the most fierce.

"My lord, what are you going to do with these prisoners?" Wang Hu's eyes flashed a fierce light. In this time of war, killing prisoners is a very normal thing. Why did Bai Qi kill Zhao Bing? One is to deter the enemy, and the other One is to save food, after all, captives also have to eat.Although these 20 people are not many, it is useless to keep them.

When the twenty Xiliang soldiers heard Wang Hu's words, and saw the fierce light in Wang Hu's eyes, they all knelt down and begged for mercy.

Since ancient times, many people and regimes have had major problems with the treatment of captives. Even in modern times, there are still incidents of prisoner abuse in a certain big country. Dongfang Sheng frowned and thought of a trick.

Dongfang Sheng called Wang Hu over and gave such and such instructions, and Wang Hu immediately left with the twenty prisoners in a hurry.

As soon as Wang Hu left here, Huang Wan immediately ran over and said, "Master Lu Shangshu has invited the general."

He stabbed through the throat of the Xiliang soldier who sneaked up just now, and his subordinates were all like wolves and tigers. Dongfang Sheng was so secretive, what a mistake.Huang Wan looked at the blood-red spear beside Dongfang Sheng and said with emotion in his heart.

At that time, when the Xiliang soldier slashed at him with a sword, Dongfang Sheng and the other lieutenants were behind him. Huang Wan couldn't react in time, but Dongfang Sheng shot straight into the opponent's throat. This composure and calmness made Huang Wan feel a little nervous. fear.

"Shi Qian, you go with me." Dongfang Sheng said nonchalantly, "The rest of the people disbanded on the spot."

The rest of the school lieutenants immediately dispersed with joy on their faces. Huang Wan took Dongfang Sheng down the city wall and went straight to Weiyang Palace, which is now the center of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Lu Shangshu, do you really think of yourself as General Huo Guang?Dongfang Sheng sneered in his heart.

Dongfang Sheng is also confident that Wang Yun will not make trouble for him at this time, but Wang Yun doesn't want to make trouble for Dongfang Sheng, Dongfang Sheng wants to make trouble for him instead.

This time, if Wang Yun hadn't insisted on disbanding the Liangzhou soldiers and didn't intend to pardon Li Jue's crimes, how could the [-] Xiliang soldiers besiege the city?

In Weiyang Palace, Wang Yun is discussing secretly with Lu Bu, the faces of the two are uncertain, today's battle report has been reported.

Dongfang Sheng led the Tiger Wolf Battalion, the Big Sword Battalion, the Yanyue Battalion, the Shenyu Battalion, the Scout Battalion and the Short Sword Battalion with a total of more than [-] soldiers. Thousands of corpses were sent down and the troops retreated hastily.

As soon as the news reached the court, all the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, but Wang Yun and Lu Bu frowned. They were afraid that Dongfang Sheng would take their power. Now they are both civil and military. He is in charge of the imperial court, but if Dongfang Sheng suddenly rises this time, there is no guarantee that someone with a heart will take advantage of it and bring Wang Yun and Lu Bu down.

No, I will never allow Dongfang Sheng to take away my power!A shadow flashed in Wang Yun's eyes. He and Lu Bu looked at each other, and both of them showed a gloomy smile.

The smiles of these two people made all the ministers who were close to them feel chills, but the two of them didn't know it.

After retiring from the court, Wang Yun and Lu Bu walked out of Weiyang Palace together. After discussing for a while, Lu Bu left in a hurry.

After Wang Yun watched Lu Bu leave, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "When you killed Dong Zhuo, you never thought that you would be killed like him. This is exactly karma!"

Lu Bu immediately went to his fellow countryman Li Su to explain his and Wang Yun's plan. Li Su, who was dissatisfied with Dongfang Sheng's claim of credit, immediately replaced the guard Weijun with his own soldiers.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Southern Army was abolished, and the Suwei Army took over the original Southern Army's duties. It was Guang Luxun who ruled the Suwei Army.

This time I will definitely teach you whether there is back and forth, and then your title of General Fenwu will probably belong to me!Li Su couldn't help clenching the Zhangwu Daoxuwu hook spear in his hand.
