In the mountains and forests, Taishi Ziyi's horse is like a dragon, moving forward fearlessly.
At this moment, all his energy and spirit were condensed into one, and his whole person fell into a state of selflessness.
Man is the most bizarre creature.
He is smarter than all animals, so he seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages more. But there are always some people among humans who have a courage that surpasses ordinary people.
In the face of death, it's not that they are not afraid, but that they have a stronger pursuit.
Some people call it a kind of heroic spirit, and some people regard it as a matter of will. But everyone has to admit that this kind of spiritual magnanimity is the most noble quality of human beings.
Even if there are thousands of people, I will go to the place of righteousness.
Therefore, at this moment, I would like to call Taishi Ziyi Superman, Donglai Superman.
The horse's hooves were flying, and the speed was getting faster and faster. The cavalry on the opposite side was also running at high speed, and the two sides were getting closer and closer.
At this time, Taishi Ci suddenly saw the cavalry regiment on the opposite side holding up a six-section war banner with an apricot-yellow flag and the four characters "Marshal of the Left Army" written on it.
Taishi Ci was ecstatic in disbelief, and then looked at the leader of the cavalry group, wearing green robes and fine armor, astride a golden BMW, holding a fine iron horse and driving at a speed.
Taishi Ci didn't know this person, but just by looking at the flag, he knew that the one facing him should be the cavalry of the Marshal's Department of the Left Army of the Taishan Army.
Living towards death, this kind of ups and downs will inevitably weaken even a mentally strong and determined person like Tai Shi Ci.
But soon, Taishi Ci became anxious. He quickly controlled the horse, trying to get the horse to bypass from the flank.
But his horse had been driven so fast by him that it could no longer change its direction.
Just like that, just as he was about to collide with his friendly cavalry, he saw a rapid suona sound coming from the opposite side.
Then Taishi Ci was shocked by the next scene.
I saw that the cavalry regiment on the opposite side, which was still flowing like a tide, started to disperse during the march under the control of the green-robed cavalry commander, and the distance became wider and wider.
Then, the cavalry opposite Taishi Ci formed one group with the green-robed cavalry general, and then bypassed Taishi Ci's flank.
As the two sides crossed each other, Taishi Ci saw the appearance of the green-robed cavalryman, with a face as heavy as a jujube, silkworm eyebrows lying on the mountain, red phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, and the most eye-catching thing was the two-foot-long beard floating on his chest.
With such an appearance and such a majestic posture, how could Taishi Ci still not know who the person in front of him was?
The reputation and information of the five major commanders in the army are very clear even to those who have been in and out of the Taishan army like Taishi Ci.
Not to mention that the appearance of the person in front of me is so recognizable.
He is the pillar of the army, the leader of the generals, Guan Yu, the marshal of the left army who has power in the areas of Lai, Wu, Yimeng, Taiji.
What confused Taishi Ci was why Marshal Zuo's troops were here, and it was even less clear why Marshal Guan was leading the army himself.
As they passed each other on both sides, Taishi Ci tried his best to calm his restless mount among thousands of troops, causing the horses to gradually slow down.
When Taishi Ci turned his horse around, he saw Guan Yu approaching on a sweaty horse.
Behind Guan Yu was a vast mass of black cavalry, all holding their horse ropes and saying nothing.
Although this was the first time for Taishi Ci to meet Guan Yu, from before to now, he had been fascinated by Guan Shuai's strict military management.
Because we are the pillars of Mount Tai's army.
While Tai Shici was still thinking wildly, Guan Yu from the opposite side had already walked over on horseback.
Guan Yu straightened his head, first glanced at Tai Shici's armband, and then at the robe carried on his back, with softness and admiration in his eyes.
Guan Yu chuckled:
"Your name is Tai Shi Ci? I heard you shouting there two miles away. Donglai people? They are fierce."
Taishi Ci was quite embarrassed when he said this, as his fierce energy was a bit of a show off in this situation.
So Taishi Ci said in a panic:
"The subordinate had just come down from the battlefield when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. He couldn't help himself for a moment, which made Commander Guan laugh."
Guan Yu laughed heartily, but in the end he straightened his face, took out a gold medal from his robe with his free hand, and then threw it to Tai Shi Ci.
Taishi Ci picked up the gold medal and looked at it. There were four words written on it: "Selected Scholars from Nanfu".
He opened his mouth wide and was about to ask Guan Shuai why he loved him so much.
It turns out that in the past six months of the Taishan Army, the five prefectures of east, west, south, north, and middle were successively formed. These five prefectures were originally formed by the five armies of the Taishan Army.
Among them, Guan Yu's left army marshal's department was in the south, stationed in Fenggao; Ding Sheng's former army marshal's department was in the east, stationed in Guangzong; Zhang Dan's right army marshal's department was in the north, stationed in Yuyang; Dong's army was stationed in Yuyang;
The visiting marshal's headquarters was Xifu, stationed in Jiexiangguo. Finally, Yu Jin's Central Guard Army was stationed in Yecheng, but it was not commensurate with the Zhongfu.
In addition to arranging their own defense zones, these five prefectures also have a special privilege, that is, they can recommend a certain number of military officials to the Yecheng Military Academy for further training every year.
And what Guan Yu just gave Tai Shici was such an opportunity to enter the cradle of middle and high-level military officials, the Yecheng Lecture School of Martial Arts.
But it was a pity that just when Taishi Ci was about to ask Guan Yu why he valued him so much, he saw Guan Shuai already riding away.
Just when Taishi Ci was still stunned, he heard Guan Yu's voice as heavy as a bell coming from ahead:
"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you lead the way? I want to see who dares to kill me, Taishan official!"
Taishi Ci turned his head and looked at Sun Wang behind him, feeling confused for a while.
At this time, a young military official came up on horseback. He opened his mouth and said to Taishi Ci:
"Don't worry, go ahead. Leave your robe to me. Behind us is our army's medical camp, where this person can get good treatment."
Taishi Ci breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the man in front of him gratefully, and asked:
"Thank you brother, what do you call me brother?"
The military officer in front of him also had an extraordinary appearance. When Taishi Ci asked him his name, he did not hesitate and told him:
"A certain family, Lu Dai, met the Taishi brothers."
Taishi Ci remembered the name carefully, then handed Sun Wang behind him to Lu Dai, and said gratefully:
"I won't thank you enough for your kindness. Anyway, if I, Taishi Ci, come back alive this time, I will definitely get drunk with my brothers."
Lu Dai grinned, and he really liked the fierce man in front of him.
Finally, after handing Sun Wang to Lu Dai, Taishi Ci changed his horse and put on a layer of armor, and then caught up with Guan Yu.
That's it, Tai Shi Ci's revenge will never take place overnight.
…
When Taishi Ci led Guan Yu back to the mountainous area where they had just been ambushed, they saw another fight taking place here.
It turns out that not long after Taishi Ci and others left the city, the situation in Zhu Acheng changed dramatically.
The Han army outside the city, which had been passive and passive in fighting, suddenly began to accelerate its attack on the city after a new reinforcement arrived. Soon, Zhu'a was on the verge of collapse.
Guo Shu had no choice but to break out of Zhu'a. He had already plundered all the mules and horses in the city, so he used this time.
With high-speed maneuverability, Guo Shu's troops broke out directly through the narrow gaps in the Han army's defense line.
Moreover, Guo Shu also deliberately chose the road to the north, because in his opinion, You Yi had just left here not long ago, and even if there was an ambush, he would not have expected that there would be a second wave of troops breaking out here.
It can be said that Guo Shu's strategy was correct, but he did not expect Tai Shi Ci to be so fierce. He defeated a small ambush by himself, so that the Han army behind had to rearrange.
Then, as soon as the Han army retreated and returned, they bumped into Guo Shu's troops who were coming.
This kid, a bloody battle broke out between the two sides.
At this time, Guo Shu stood on his horse, standing still, while his officials had already dismounted their mules and horses and started to form an array.
Although he encountered an ambush, Guo Shu did not panic, but launched a counterattack on the spot.
He ordered the flag soldiers beside him:
"When you see the enemy smoke, call me."
As expected, the ambush Han army surrounded Guo Shu from all directions. Smoke and dust suddenly appeared everywhere, as if they were going to swallow Guo Shu up in one bite.
But these Jinan Han troops are not the so-called elite. Their number is about 4,000, half Qingzhou soldiers, half powerful tribes. The core of them is Cao Cao's 500 old soldiers, who are led by clan members.
Commander Cao He.
Cao He is the son of Cao Cao's clan uncle Cao Yin, and has been following Cao Cao. This time, he was ordered by Xiahou Dun to lead troops here to ambush the remaining Taishan army who might have fled from Zhu'a north.
At this time, he was wearing a basin-collar armor and standing on a chariot. Looking at the foreign soldiers in front of him who were only shouting but refusing to step forward, he became furious and ordered angrily:
"The enemy is only two hundred steps away. What should we fear if we are outnumbered? Send me an order. Whoever can behead the enemy general's dog will be rewarded a hundred gold by myself."
Cao He had the confidence to say this. Even though his father only made a fortune of 400 dan at that time, his family wealth was a well-known rich man in the Qiao Pei area. It can be said that he was very rich.
Some of Cao Cao's current troops were recruited by Cao He, Cao Ren, and Cao Chun who paid for them together.
Sure enough, with Cao He's heavy reward, the foreign soldiers in front were all jealous and howling.
When these soldiers rushed to about 120 steps away from Guo Shu, according to the Taishan military system, they should have used ballistas to fire.
But it was a pity that when Guo Shu and others broke through, these ballistae were all destroyed because they were not convenient to carry. Otherwise, they would have been able to kill a group of them first at the 180th step.
So, until the enemy came closer and closer, the Taishan army officials had their bows fully drawn and glared at the enemy, but Guo Shu's order had not yet been given, so they could only wait.
The shouts of the Han army were getting closer and closer. Just when they had reached only fifty steps, Guo Shu suddenly gave an order loudly:
"Shoot ten arrows."
Among the 500-man Taishan Army, there was a crossbow team of about 100 people. At this moment, the 100-man army fired ten arrows in a row, that is, a thousand arrows were shot out.
This dense flow of arrows dealt a huge blow to the ragtag Han army. They were shocked by the rain of arrows and neither dared to advance nor retreat.
At this time, Guo Shu ordered again:
"Take a step forward, shoot a arrow, and empty the quiver."
So Taishan's army advanced ten steps again and fired another thousand arrows.
This wave of blows directly destroyed the morale of the Han army at the front. No longer willing to earn the reward of a hundred gold, they retreated one after another.
But this wave retreated, and more Han troops behind them rushed forward.
These people are very smart. With the consumption of the previous wave of friendly troops, how many arrows can those Taishan troops have left?
Sure enough, this time when these people rushed to fifty steps again, the Taishan Army failed to fire another arrow.
So they charged wildly and launched an attack on the Taishan army officers and soldiers who had already formed a military formation.
The Taishan Army abandoned most of its military resources in order to break out of the encirclement, including the infantry carrying the troops.
At this moment, if these Han troops formed an array and slowly suppressed them with long swords and halberds, Taishan's army would not be able to parry at all.
But these Han troops were just a mob and had no rules, so they fought in chaos.
In this wave of Han troops, there was a yellow turban general from Qi wearing a yellow turban on his forehead. He was more cautious and cunning. Even in this advantageous situation, he was still careful to wear it behind him. Even the nearest Taishan army had a hundred and one soldiers.
Ten paces position.
At this time, he suddenly saw a Taishan general standing on a horse opposite him, pointing his bow and arrows at him, and he wanted to laugh.
If you can shoot yourself from such a long distance, Naigong will eat the dirt right in front of you.
Therefore, he didn't care at all that the enemy general had targeted him, but he continued to use his hometown dialect to greet the people in front of him, asking them to work hard.
One hundred gold, how much does it cost?
But he suddenly felt uneasy. He turned to look at the Taishan official just now, and saw that the arrow had been shot out from the opposite side.
Then without waiting for the person to react, the arrow was inserted into his neck.
Before this man even took another look at the world, he fell to the ground with black eyes and ate a handful of black soil.
This world is a cycle, people eat dirt once in a lifetime, and dirt eats people once in a lifetime.
This time, it's the Yellow Turban's turn to be eaten by dirt.
And it was Guo Shu who had just shot this man to death. This shot was from a position of 110 steps, and it could hit the target. It can be seen that Guo Shu's shooting can be called a masterpiece.
But it's not surprising. Didn't Ding Sheng just look at Guo Shu after seeing such a talented archer?
Guo Shu made a successful attack, and then urged his soldiers to counterattack. He defeated this wave of Han army's attack. But that was it.
The difference in strength between him and the Han army was one to eight. Even if everyone was brave and good at fighting, how many people could he kill?
Therefore, the longer the time goes by, the more casualties Guo Shu will suffer.
But this time, on a hillock, Cao He was still on the chariot, but now he had changed from standing to sitting cross-legged.
On his periphery were the foreign soldiers who had retreated to repair. They were ordered to take turns to launch a wheel battle against the Taishan Army.
In the inner circle of the outer soldiers were Cao He's five hundred soldiers, all of whom were wearing strong armor and guarding the inside.
By this time, Cao He was no longer worried, because now he was sure to win this situation.
Yes, your Taishan Army can fight. You, the five hundred soldiers, are surrounded by me and can still hold on until now, but so what?
Are you going to die at the hands of me, Cao He?
Thinking of this, Cao He was quite proud of himself. He was able to annihilate part of Taishan's army. This military achievement must be first-class in the army.
So now Cao Hezheng was chatting with several of his subordinates.
But at this moment, he suddenly heard a commotion outside. Cao Hezheng raised his head in confusion and saw a soldier holding a horse spear charging through the narrow gap in his team.
He goes straight towards himself, he is invincible to those who stand in his way, and his horse is as fast as flying.
Before Cao He's next thought came to mind, this man rushed into the front of the formation, and before he could react, the cavalry general flew his horse into the air and directly beat several of his followers to death.
Then his eyes went dark and he no longer knew what happened next.
What Cao He didn't know was that after his head was cut off by the sharp horse's spear, the cavalry general wrapped him in a military flag and rushed out.
A total of five hundred Cao's elite soldiers just stared blankly at the cavalry general rushing back.
Finally, the blood-soaked cavalryman ran to the back of the hill, where a green-robed general, as proud as a celestial being, was watching.
When there were still more than ten steps left, the cavalryman jumped off his horse, held the head high, and sang:
"The head of the thief general has been taken off by me, Taishi Ci, and I have come here to offer it to Commander Guan."
Hearing this, Guan Yu stroked his beard and laughed.
