Chapter 289: Victory and defeat, life and death(1/2)
The scene of Zhang Feili killing the Wei cavalry fell in the eyes of 20,000 Wei troops, and the word cruelty would subconsciously appear in their hearts.
And when this thought appeared in their minds, their morale began to decline uncontrollably.
But this scene fell in the eyes of the 20,000 Han troops, and it made them look at the majestic figure even more enthusiastically.
In the real history of the Three Kingdoms, there are not many cases of one-on-one battles between generals.
It's just that military generals used their personal bravery to boost the morale of their own side, but it has been mentioned many times in history books.
What does it mean to be an enemy of ten thousand people?
It's not just one person killing ten thousand people.
This title falls on everyone and has different interpretations.
When these three words fall on Zhang Fei, it can be understood that with his confidence in his own bravery, he is not afraid at all even if there are more than tens of thousands of enemies in front of him.
And with his own bravery, he alone can influence the morale of tens of thousands of enemy troops.
In China's thousands of years of history, there were not many generals who could be awarded this honorary title.
And the heroism and spirit of a general who can do this are so inspiring.
Just now, Cao Xiu, a wise general, seized the fleeting opportunity and put the Wei army in a certain advantageous position.
This is Cao Xiu's skill.
But when facing a wise general like Cao Xiu, Zhang Fei is no ordinary person.
A man with a light army and a strong force can overwhelm ten thousand men. He is good at consolidating the territory and defeats many enemies. This is called an enemy of ten thousand men. Zhang Feizheng belongs to this category.
Since the situation is changing rapidly, and since Cao Xiu knows how to adapt to the situation, Zhang Fei will use his strength to defeat it.
This is a battle between wise generals and fierce generals in different ways. This is a collision between intelligence and strength. There is no distinction between high and low, only corresponding tactics.
While Zhang Fei was waving the long sword in his hand to continuously kill enemies, he could also devote a certain amount of energy to direct the 20,000 Han troops behind him to advance.
It was simply a shame for him to be in such a comfortable state in front of the 20,000 Wei troops.
But when Zhang Fei's state was seen by 20,000 Han troops, he was indescribably cool.
This is the elegance that belongs exclusively to Zhang Yide, a fierce general from Yan.
As more and more Wei cavalry fell to pieces under Zhang Fei's sword, the morale of the Wei army began to decline rapidly.
Those who did not know Zhang Fei among the 20,000 people in the Wei army couldn't help but have a question in their minds: Is the enemy general in front of me a human or a god?
If Zhang Fei is allowed to continue to kill like this, the Wei army will be defeated.
But Zhang Fei's bravery was well known to everyone, so Cao Pi also took precautions early.
Just when Zhang Fei slashed another Wei cavalryman to death with his sword and moved towards another Wei cavalryman, the same broadsword blocked the direction of Zhang Fei's broadsword.
Zhang Fei looked at this person intently and found that the person blocking him was none other than Cao Wei's mighty general Xu Chu.
Xu Chu was more than eight feet long and his waist was ten inches wide.
Xu Chu, who was trusted by Cao Cao as "my Fan Kuai" and praised as "Tiger Marquis" by Ma Chao, although not praised by the world as an enemy of ten thousand people, was still a man of great courage and courage.
Xu Chu was Cao Cao's personal bodyguard, and Zhang Fei knew him.
When Xu Chu blocked Zhang Fei's massacre with his sword, he immediately looked at Zhang Fei with anger.
Seeing Xu Chu's state, Zhang Fei chuckled.
Is it amazing to have big eyes?
If he met Xu Chu normally, Zhang Fei would definitely have a fight with him.
But now is the time for the battle between the Han and Wei armies. As a former army general, he cannot focus on showing off his personal bravery.
So Zhang Fei began to quickly accumulate strength. After accumulating strength, he continuously waved the long knife in his hand and slashed towards Xu Chu.
Facing Zhang Fei's powerful and heavy attacks, Xu Chu couldn't help but feel surprised when he blocked it with the long knife in his hand.
Zhang Fei had just killed so many of his subordinates, how could he still have such strength now?
Feeling the huge force coming from his arm, Xu Chu had no choice but to use the long knife in his hand to block it.
Xu Chu, who could be relied upon by Cao Cao as his personal bodyguard, was obviously not a simple rough guy.
He knew that Zhang Fei was now at the peak of his strength and it was not appropriate to fight head-on with Zhang Fei.
It's best to wait until Zhang Fei's strength is exhausted before he can fight back.
He has a serious temperament and acts cautiously. This is Xu Chu's character.
At this time, Xu Chu seemed to be on the defensive in the face of Zhang Fei's fierce offensive. He was even retreating with his men and horses, but he himself was not in much danger.
And he also stopped Zhang Fei from continuing to kill his subordinates.
This prevented the morale of the Wei army from plummeting.
At this time, the Wei cavalry around them had retreated, and they were gradually surrounded by the approaching infantry from both armies.
Even as Xu Chu continued to retreat deliberately, the spears of the Wei army behind Xu Chu were already a few steps away from Zhang Fei.
Soon those thousands of spears will stab Zhang Fei's body.
Although Zhang Fei was constantly forcing Xu Chu back, the situation on the battlefield was all in his sight.
So after swinging a knife at Xu Chu for the last time and making Xu Chu's arm numb, Zhang Fei drove the horse under his crotch and quickly retreated.
Like an eagle with its wings spread, he jumped into his own military formation.
If Zhang Fei wants to fight, Wei Jun will have to suffer.
After the battle, they were about to leave, but the Wei army could not stop them.
Zhang Fei's state of coming and going with ease undoubtedly stimulated Wei Jun's eyes even more.
And when Zhang Fei's state fell into Cao Xiu's eyes, the look of fear on his face became even deeper.
At the same time, anger also rose in Cao Xiu's heart.
Zhang Fei simply regarded his 20,000-strong army as nothing.
However, no matter how brave Zhang Fei is, at this juncture when the two armies are about to fight, his bravery can only go so far.
What follows is a battle between the two armies with real swords and guns.
The armies of Han and Wei each numbered 20,000, and these 40,000 armies formed square formations and advanced towards the enemy.
In front of the formations of the armies of both sides were thousands of flag-waving men with neat steps and spears in their hands.
Thousands of flag-bearing warriors on both sides held spears shining with the aura of death, and under the command of their respective generals, they continued to approach the enemy.
Ten steps, five steps, three steps, and finally the spears meet.
Thousands of spears collided with each other in the air, making bursts of piercing screams.
When these bursts of piercing screams completely covered the ears of the 40,000 troops, many of the flag-waving men in front of the armies on both sides fell instantly.
Then bursts of shouts of death began to cover up the screams of clashing spears, becoming the mainstream sound on the battlefield.
Today's Battle of Fan Yan is a serious outdoor decisive battle.
In an orthodox field battle, there are not many fancy plots and tricks. If there is a good strategy, it will often be released before the battle.
When the two armies begin to fight, what really begins to compete is the commanding art between the generals and the eliteness of the soldiers.
There is only the unpretentious coming and going of each other.
Under the command of their respective generals, the pikemen on both sides continued to thrust towards the enemy on the opposite side.
When the sharp spear tip pierces the enemy's body, in addition to making a popping sound, there will often be a splash of blood when the spear tip is pulled out.
More and more soldiers from both sides in the front began to fall, and then the soldiers in the rear began to step forward on the corpses of their comrades under the urging of the general.
Many soldiers were still alive when they fell to the ground.
But their comrades didn't even think about helping them up. Instead, they stepped decisively over their bleeding bodies and continued to move forward.
And this scene not only happened in the Han army's formation, but also in the Wei army's formation.
This scene is cruel, but this scene is very real.
This was the true form of ancient warfare.
bloody.
When large-scale field battles began in ancient times, there was no end in sight; there was only a matter of victory or defeat, and a matter of life and death.
And this kind of victory or defeat is often formed by the accumulation of bones of tens of thousands of soldiers.
As the armies of both sides continued to approach, large swaths of blood mist began to fall in front of the two armies.
There was so much blood mist that, blown by the cold wind, it even confused the eyes of the soldiers on both sides.
A large amount of blood mist drifted between the two armies with the wind, and finally fell on the soldiers of both sides, dyeing the armor of the soldiers at the front of both armies red.
However, although there were a lot of casualties on both sides as soon as the two armies fought, the soldiers on both sides showed no intention of retreating at this time.
Because they are currently the most elite soldiers in China.
