  Chapter 1558 Life and death are close

   Go back in time a little bit.

  The flames burning in the left battalion of Fei Qian, General of Zhengxi, almost illuminated half of the sky. Even Zhang Liao and others, who were ten miles away, could see clearly.

   "Everyone has it! Saddle up! Check the weapon equipment!"

   Zhang Liao stood up with a cry, and took the lead in tidying up his horse. First put the mat on the horse, then put the Takahashi saddle on it and fix it, then tightened the belt buckle, and then stretched out his hand and pulled it twice. He muttered a few words to his eyes, and then adjusted the weapons on his body. Without the help of the guards on the side, he jumped up and sat on the horse. He turned his head and quietly looked at the rest of the Zhengxi cavalry behind him.

These cavalry were generally the cavalry who followed Zhang Liao all the way from Shanjin to Yinshan, and then followed to Shangdang Taiyuan. It can be said that although they are under the command of Zhengxi, they are generally led by Zhang Liao, which can be regarded as half of Zhang Liao. private soldier...

  Why only half?

  Because it costs money...

  If ordinary cavalry is worth five to ten infantry, then the value of the equipment of the cavalry under Zhengxi's command is at least the value of fifteen to twenty infantry equipment.

From sleeve armor that is different from infantry, to bows and arrows dedicated to cavalry, to cavalry shields, to exquisite spears, and even horse spears, all these equipment, plus the food and grass of war horses that have a greater appetite than humans Consumption will drive a prince without much economic foundation directly to the point where he either collapses himself or the cavalry collapses.

  High investment, coupled with good horse breeding land, excellent cavalry generals like Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, etc., have room to display their talents...

   "Follow a certain attack!"

   Before the roar was over, Zhang Liao swung his spear, turned his horse's head, and headed towards the battlefield where the flames were flying!

  Zhang Chen followed closely behind Zhang Liao, his little heart was beating wildly, and suddenly he felt as if he followed Zhang Liao into the Shanjin army camp back then...

For a distance of about ten miles, if the pawns were allowed to run at full speed, they would probably be so tired that they would stick out their tongues like an old dog, but for war horses that naturally like to gallop, especially for these Xiliang war horses in Longyou, it is just right. Just warming up, in the blink of an eye, you can already see the flames in the distance, as well as those figures shining and swaying in the flames.

Zhang Liao quickly found the flag representing General Zhengxi, and immediately saw the directional flag specially marked for him on the central general's platform, soaring and leaping under the light of the torch, as if he was about to fly into the sky at the next moment. same.

   "Follow me!"

  Zhang Liao adjusted his direction slightly, and flew towards the direction pointed out by General Zhengxi on the stage, followed closely by Zhang Chen and others behind him. In order to enhance the surprise, Zhang Liao and others had already thrown all the torches when they approached the battlefield. The only thing guiding them was a small white flag that everyone planted behind them. This small white flag does not represent surrender, but to allow the comrades following behind to be able to judge the distance and speed while running at high speed, so as not to fall behind.

   The first thing to come into contact with was a team of defensive posts arranged by Liu Bei in the outermost circle. These Liu Bei sentries cruising on the outer line, when they saw Zhang Liao and others rushing out of the night, before they could even react, they raised a wave of arrows, and most of them were killed and injured with screams. Those who can watch Zhang Liao and others whizzing past, can't even resist the obstacles a little bit.

Saw!

  Belongs to Liu Bei's Chinese army banner!

   "Come here!"

Zhang Liao shouted loudly, and immediately stepped on the stirrups on his horse and stood up. He picked up the bow like lightning, and grabbed four feathered arrows in one hand. There was a continuous buzzing sound, and the hard bowstring in his hand was constantly flying between the full moon and the half-bend. Change, the four feathered arrows are shot out in an instant, and even the beads seem to be shot out!

Liu Bei just reacted in the rear, and several non-commissioned officers who were commanding the soldiers to turn around, four of them died in an instant, and the soldiers beside them even lost their torches in fright. Liu Bei lined up in the rear, and immediately slowed down, twisted and out of shape.

   Zhang Liao yelled, switched his weapon to a spear, and habitually shook the spear, and the **** red tassels suddenly bloomed, shaking out a bunch of red flowers, covering Zhang Liao's body. The high-speed rotating red tassel not only serves as an eye-catching function, although it is not very effective in the dark, but it can also call the sporadic arrows shot from the opposite side, and even the head, face, chest and abdomen of the war horse underneath can be seen together. Cover it to ensure the safety of the people and horses when they charge into the battle.

Unfortunately, Liu Bei's soldiers, who were right in front of Zhang Liao, saw Zhang Liao and others rushing towards him, howled wildly, closed their eyes, and stretched out the spear in their hands as hard as they could in the direction Zhang Liao was coming, as if this could stop Zhang Liao Waiting for the impact of Zhengxi cavalry to be the same, but I don't know that such a move actually has no effect at all...

Zhang Liao has already used his legs hard to ensure that his figure on the saddle is stable. At the same time, when he is about to crash into Liu Bei's formation, the tip of the big gun seems to come alive, shaking slightly from side to side, like a strange python , almost at the same time, slapped on the heads of the two Liu Bei soldiers blocking the front!

  The heads of the two unlucky Liu Bei soldiers, like overripe fruit being hit by a slate, were immediately blasted, and their bodies were thrown to the sides, and their brains mixed with blood splashed everywhere!

Immediately, with a bang, the cavalry led by Zhang Liao slammed into the rear of Liu Bei's infantry. At this moment, accompanied by the muffled sound of flesh and bones breaking, an unknown number of people were killed at high speed. How many bodies were trampled to the ground, how many **** stumps were thrown away!

Zhang Chen followed closely beside Zhang Liao, with one hand pointing the blade of the saber outwards, and pressed it firmly against the side of the saddle. The height was just around the neck of an ordinary soldier. Shield, to block those stabbing and slashing swords and guns, and then let the horse speed with the saber to harvest those unlucky Liu Bei soldiers who passed by.

Zhang Chen's riding skills can't be said to be bad, but they can't be said to be very good either. Therefore, as Zhang Liao's distant relative, Zhang Liao also took care of a few things. You don’t need to be distracted and chopping, and you don’t need too high skills, and you can also ensure a certain level of safety. It’s simply a must-have choice for home travel, murder and arson...

Of course, like Zhang Chen, there are still a small number of Zhengxi cavalry with relatively low riding skills and a trouser belt relationship. Most of the Zhengxi cavalry are quite tough, even stronger than ordinary Hu people on horseback. To be more comfortable.

Inside the Zhang Liao cavalry that was rushing forward at high speed, these cavalrymen can even stand up on their horses and shoot furiously with their bows, increasing the area of ​​​​destruction and the range of strikes. Although the quick shot with arm strength was not as abnormal as Zhang Liao's, the speed at which the quiver was emptied within a dozen breaths also caused heavy damage to Liu Bei's soldiers around him.

Regardless of whether it is Liu Bei or Guan Yu, at the beginning of the battle, all attention was focused on the camp of General Zhengxi. Although some defensive troops on the flanks and rear were arranged according to years of experience in marching and combat, these The troops were far from enough in terms of combat effectiveness and numbers. After being suddenly attacked by Zhang Liao's cavalry, they couldn't even hold on for a cup of tea, and they were completely broken by Zhang Liao and others!

   Zhang Liao suddenly felt that his eyes were empty, and then looked up, he could not help but take a breath...

  The whole battle situation is so tragic!

  Conquering Xizuoying has become a huge torch in the battlefield. The blazing fire almost covers the entire battlefield.

Before conquering the West Central Camp, Liu Bei's soldiers were all in a mess, like a colony of ants who saw honey, almost all of them were blocked near the gate of the camp, and even a part of Liu Bei's army had clearly entered. In the camp of the Chinese army in Zhengxi!

  Although his heart was extremely anxious, Zhang Liao still shouted in a deep voice: "General Zhengxi has an order! Directly attack the enemy's center line! Ignore the rest! Liu Bei and Liu Xuande must be captured!"

   "Team! Team!"

   Zhang Chen shouted, and then adjusted his formation again, followed behind Zhang Liao, like a rushing tide, pointing directly at Liu Bei's central army!

   At this time, Guan Yu had already rushed into the Zhengxi camp, and was caught in a stalemate with the Zhengxi soldiers...

Guan Ping was eagerly crossing the trench of the Zhengxi Central Camp, and was about to make another hole in the wall of the camp, but found that the Zhengxi Central Camp was different from the left and right camps, which were basically made of wood. It turned out to be a mixed structure. , not only has wood as the frame, but also stone and soil filled it, and there are even some unknown things, so that Guan Ping's men can't find any suitable breakthrough for a while...

At this time, Liu Bei also gave up attacking the Zhengxi Right Battalion on the right side of the mountain, but left Zhou Cang half-attacking and half-blocking, and concentrated his attention and soldiers on the Chinese army camp of Zhengxi General Feiqian. Before…

   Therefore, when the soldiers Liu Bei left behind were overwhelmed by Zhang Liao, Liu Bei's soldiers outside the camp no longer had any troops that could slightly slow down the speed of Zhang Liao and other cavalry!

Zhang Liao did not waste this precious opportunity at all. He left Zhou Cang's troops frantically rushing from the foot of the mountainside on the right flank to intercept him. Amidst the flying horseshoes, he had already been divided into two teams. It has become the formation of the front arrow charge, and Zhang Liao is the sharpest blade tip in this front arrow formation!

   Three hundred steps!

  Liu Bei brandished his double-pronged sword, and loudly ordered the soldiers behind to turn around, ready to meet the enemy!

Zhou Cang led his soldiers, frantically chasing Zhang Liao's flanks to block them, and behind Zhou Cang, the gate of Zhengxi Youying, who had been invincible for a long time, opened the gate of Zhengxi Youying, and the Zhengxi infantry that came out of the queue bit Zhou Cang. Ass, condescendingly rush down!

   Two hundred steps!

   Zhang Liao stopped shouting, and almost all the cavalry in the front row threw out their short spears, and then immediately raised their spears and swords horizontally, speeding up their horses again!

In Liu Bei's rear line, soldiers who had already turned and those who had not yet turned collided together, twisting and gathering into lumps, like wet dough falling into boiling water. It is already difficult to separate them into shape!

   One hundred steps!

Zhang Liao and others, like a sharp sword, at almost the same time, stimulated the potential of the horse again, increased the speed by three points, and moved towards Liu Bei's rear, towards the hedgehogs. Liu Bei's soldiers who had room to resist rushed forward!

The sound of horseshoes roared like thunder, and the long gun battle flashed a piercing cold light under the firelight. Although the Zhang Liao cavalry troops came with overwhelming momentum, although there were not many in number, at this moment, there were tens of thousands of them. The imposing manner made Liu Bei's soldiers, who had seldom experienced fighting against cavalry, look pale in their own chaotic formation, and some people were even more horrified, knowing that they were in a desperate situation at this moment, and they could only utter the howl of dying beasts !

  Zhang Liao rushed to the front with his gun, his eyes nailed on Liu Bei behind the pawns on the opposite side like a sharp knife, and he roared like a thunderbolt in the night sky: "Liu Bei, Liu Xuande! Stay alive!"

Before the roar fell, Zhang Liao had already rushed through the distance of less than a hundred steps, and crashed straight into the panicked infantry line behind Liu Bei. Although he tried his best to block and parry, he still watched Zhang Liao's spear pass through the saber and shield he was struggling to block like an illusion, and directly sank into the chest and abdomen!

The standard Zha Jia was like tofu, and the sharp spear head pierced through the armor. Liu Bei Junhou was picked up by Zhang Liao, flung high in the air with his hands and feet, and directly hit the back to grab him. Among Liu Bei's pawns who came, they hit three or four people immediately.

The huge anti-shock force, if it is an ordinary soldier, I am afraid that the only way is to throw away the gun, but Zhang Liao's spear is extremely exquisite and super tough. In addition, Zhang Liao's martial arts is also first-rate. The stabilizing force of Takahashi's saddle removed most of the impact force, and charged forward without stopping!

   Liu Bei Junhou is not Zhang Liao's one-stroke enemy, and the rest of the ordinary soldiers are even more unable to resist!

The Xiliang warhorses, which are taller, bigger and heavier than ordinary warhorses, are like flesh tanks on the battlefield. The weight of the horses and horses is close to two tons. Rumble is moving towards the Liu Bei's central banner crushed over!

  Many of Liu Bei's infantry couldn't dodge, and could only let out a half-scream before being knocked into the air, trampled by an unknown number of horseshoes, and immediately turned into a puddle of meat!

  Life and death are but a short distance away!

   Seeing this situation, Liu Bei couldn't help but suddenly change color even though he was always deep in the city!
