Chapter 36 The yellow flag is like a sea of ??clouds
When Guan Yu intercepted He Yi's troops on the flank, Yang Feng's offensive in the camp also suffered a setback.
At first, their attack went smoothly, but when they approached Liu Bei's main formation, they encountered a completely unexpected situation: under Liu Bei's tiger flag, where the commander's tent was, the Han army actually built two floors.
Antlers are like an insurmountable high wall,
Separate them from the handsome tent.
Just when the Qi and Han sergeants were stunned, the crossbowmen who had been waiting behind the antlers pressed the crossbow button, and an iron curtain shot out across the sky and hit the forward Qingqi. After this, many people realized that the arrows were embedded in the bones.
The voice is so clear and crisp,
So much so that when nearly a hundred knights died under this round of fire, they did not utter any screams.
Those who came late could only see the hedgehog-like remains of their comrades and the streams of blood.
"Move forward, keep moving forward! Why did you stop?" Yang Feng of the squadron couldn't see what was going on in front of him. He only knew that the forward suddenly stopped. This made him extremely angry, and he kept whipping the stunned soldiers in front of him with his riding crop.
When he saw Li Feiyan among the stunned crowd, Li Feiyan said bitterly to him: "Yang Shuai, we have fallen into a trap."
Only then did Yang Feng see the double antlers in front of him, and the Han army's crossbowmen who were changing the crossbow bolts behind him. But he did not be confused along with the soldiers, but continued to curse: "So what?! There are thousands of troops here!"
Wanma, we are less than a mile away from the traitor commander! Keep pushing forward! There are comrades behind us who are fighting hard. We will either win the battle and go back! Or we will die here! Do we have to retreat and become a living target because of this?
?"
His curse woke up everyone, and they all remembered the oaths they made before the battle. The knights suppressed the fear of death, and they all raised their flags and shouted: "There is glory in death, but there is no shame in life." The sound was like a wave.
, which made the Han army behind the antlers change their colors.
Then Yang Feng's troops continued to attack. Li Feiyan summoned the strong men who had just broken the camp and tried to repeat the same trick, continuing to use the giant ax to pierce the antlers. Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked out of the crowd, they were noticed by the Han army. They immediately pushed out from behind the antlers.
Three large carts covered with black cloth,
He took off the black cloth to reveal a long string made of beef tendon, and then put an arrow shaft as thick as his wrist on the string. At the front end of the arrow shaft was a crescent-shaped arrow, with arrow clusters that had been sharpened for several days.
A little bit of cold light shines under the morning glow.
The two soldiers turned the machine gun and fully pulled the crossbow string. When the warriors had just approached the antlers, they released arrows decisively. The sound of a crossbow arrow was naturally not as good as the previous arrow rain, but such a huge arrow could not fail to attract everyone's attention.
What's more, this giant arrow passed over the antlers, cut through the human body like paper, and broke an eight-foot strongman into two pieces from the waist. The upper body of the man rolled on the ground and screamed, while the lower body still stood in place, as if
As if at a loss.
In normal times, with such a terrifying scene, even the most courageous warrior would, in this scene,
I can't help but feel scared. But here and now,
But it seems to be just a little splash of water sprinkled into the firewood, which turns into invisible water vapor in the blink of an eye.
The knight in the rear stepped over the corpse of his companion and continued to destroy the antlers with his knife and hands.
Liu Bei stood under the main tent and could clearly see the situation here. His expression was unmoved, but his palms were full of sweat. The faces of Shejian and others around him changed because of this, and they sighed repeatedly: "Eastern March"
In the past few battles, today’s enemy must be the bravest!” Liu Bei smiled and comforted them and said: “It is not even half as good as Dong Zhuoliang’s army.”
Whether this is true or not, Yang Feng's tribe is indeed in dire straits. Their difficulties are far more than the two antlers in front of them: the barracks on both sides restrict the mobility of the cavalry, and Taishi Ci's tribe on the flanks also launched a counterattack, and assistance was not planned according to the original plan.
Their He Yi tribe was stopped by Guan Yu. As a result, they were besieged by a force several times their own. They were left and right, and their energy was quickly exhausted.
After another two moments, the glow in the sky became more and more red, and the fire on the ground gradually faded. Then the sound of Yang Feng's fighting became smaller. Qi Han Qingqi's body was full of arrows. At this time, he could only stand still.
The horses were in a daze, but no one was standing anymore. A few people who were still alive were lying on the ground, panting, with blood in their eyes, looking towards the northwest at the still unclear banner.
Yang Feng's 4,000 light cavalry forward fought to the death until they were completely killed, with no one left alive.
The second team led by He Yi did not know the tragic situation of the first team being wiped out. After fighting with the Han knights for several quarters of an hour, they finally waited for the follow-up reinforcements. Gong Du led the third team of cavalry to charge as promised.
Come up.
They held high their sun-yellow flags. Under the rays of the sun, the brilliance on their armor seemed to be refracted by crystal. Guan Yu originally assigned a cavalry army, led by Wei Yan, to stop them, but he never thought that the moth thieves also had iron cavalry! Wei Yan said
The knights in the group were only wearing ordinary leather armor, and when they collided with these more than a thousand cavalry, it was as if they had hit a steel plate and were cut open!
This is an elite division that has been armed and organized since Zhang Rao. Since the previous battles between the two sides were all raids and sieges, they were unable to enter the battlefield. At this time, they finally found an opportunity to attack and entered the battle for the first time.
It had a miraculous effect. After they tore through Wei Yan's troops, they continued to attack Guan Yu's line without stopping. Guan Yu also underestimated their combat power, and his subordinates were knocked upside down. He had to lead the banner to withdraw from the battlefield, planning to wait for a while.
We will fight again after rectification.
Therefore, He Yi and Gong Du finally got some time to organize their queues, and then followed Yang Feng's footsteps and entered the Han camp.
At this time, they heard the sound of horse hoofbeats without warning. It was obvious that the ambush of the Han army was not limited to Guan Yu on the south wing. After Guan Yu retreated, Zhang Yang on the north wing came out again. They walked along the dim road
At the junction, go around to the rear of these armored cavalry and delay their progress with a hail of arrows. Zhang Yang's troops are all light cavalry, so they may not be a match for the armored cavalry in close combat, but back and forth harassment is enough to wear down the vigor of these death-defying knights.<
/p>
He Yi loudly said to his subordinates: "Don't worry about them! Captain Yang is still opening the way in front, and Commander Zhang will break the siege behind him. As long as we ride our horses forward, we will be able to kill the enemy's formation!" p>
Similarly, they soon saw the end of Yang Feng's tribe. The sky in the west was already a little blue, and some glimmers of light were cast from the dome, allowing them to see a plain of corpses and bows and arrows. Blood soaked the withered autumn grass, and the strong
The smell of rust stimulates every sergeant's nerves.
The Han army thought they would be afraid, but Guo Xiaoxian, who was leading the charge, only turned his horse to circle in place for a moment, then dismounted and picked up a flag from the ground. The flag had been curled up into a ball and was fixed by the crossbow bolt.
When Guo Xiaoxian took it out from the mud, several tears were inevitably torn. He waved the flag, and everyone stared at it, only to see a yellow solitary swan swaying in the windless air, blood and mud.
The true nature of the yellow cloud in the flag cannot be changed. Guo Xiaoxian held the flag and mounted his horse, saying to the people who came after him: "The flag is still there, and the heroic spirit is still there! Huang Tian is above, and we will never forget death!"
The flag of Gongdu's headquarters was also made of yellow cloth, with a mountain eagle painted on it. At this time, the Qi and Han knights carrying the flag became excited. They put their bows and arrows into their bow pouches, held the flagpole high with both hands, and then
Guo Xiaoxian waved in the air together. Looking from a distance, the Han troops looked like yellow clouds pressing down, or like fire rising up. Suddenly, the enemy troops launched a desperate charge, accompanied by high-pitched roars and like an endless wave.
Impacting their bodies and souls.
Liu Bei couldn't help being moved. He walked through the second antlers and walked to the soldiers who were guarding between the antlers. He patted their shoulders one by one and said, "Don't be afraid. You are here and I am here. We will live and die together."
!". Liu Bei's voice was not loud, even a little low, but the soldiers couldn't help but feel excited when they saw that their commander was not afraid of arrows and personally stepped forward to comfort him.
Before Liu Bei could completely pass through it, the bloody fighting began again.
Unlike Yang Feng's light cavalry, He Yi's armored cavalry and Gong Du's iron cavalry are not afraid of ordinary crossbow arrows. In fact, the special shovel-headed arrows of the crossbow machine are not many, and the deterrent effect is far greater than the actual effect. At this moment, these cavalry
The army moved forward vigorously, which meant that the crossbow machine also lost its effect, and the two armies could only engage in the bloodiest hand-to-hand combat in front of the fortress.
The Han army stabbed back and forth with their long swords in the gaps in the antlers, while the soldiers of the Qi people dismounted and fought against the rain of arrows on the flanks and the sharp blades in front of them to shake the antlers. Time was tight, and some Qi people simply used their hands.
He grabbed the outstretched head of the spear and then grabbed the pole to compete with the soldier behind the antlers. When the two sides exerted force, Qi Ren's fingers and pieces of meat fell like autumn fruits. But this
It did not let the Qi people waver. Their will obviously surpassed that of the Han soldiers on the opposite side, and in a bloody battle of close combat, will is often the most important.
Finally, in the middle, the Qi people opened a hole in the first layer of antlers. Like a crisp sound of silk cloth, some of the Qi people got on their horses and immediately rushed in through the gap.
At this time, the glow in the sky has dissipated and turned into a brighter red color. The rising sun is still in the mountains, but it has faintly broken the clouds, revealing the blue and clear sky. Under the reflection of the sky, Han
The flag in the military commander's tent is particularly conspicuous.
Yang Guo Xiaoxian, who was at the head of the queue, continued to wave the flag soaked in mud and blood. The eyes of the armored cavalry behind him seemed to be steely. Even though no one shouted, they could not hide what they were thinking. Every soldier in front of them could not hide their thoughts.
Everyone can read: Half a mile further, if they break through another antler, victory will belong to them.
But this is just a tragic illusion of a drowning person after all.
Just as they galloped through the siege and drove straight in, there was suddenly a rumbling sound of drums. The sound quickly turned from weak to deafening. It came from the direction of the Han army's main tent. After hearing the drums, the Han soldiers in front of them didn't know much.
They didn't mean to stop the armored knights, but they all fled to both sides.
This gave Guo Xiaoxian an ominous premonition. The sound of the drum was not pure, and contained another sound. He could not hear it clearly at first, but gradually, everyone heard and saw clearly, a row of equally tall people.
The knights rushed over from the second antlers: their armored horses were hung with various ornaments, and when the horses ran, belt buckles, such as belt buckles, would knock on the armor, making a sound like wind chimes.
Tuoba Pigu led eight hundred Xianbei cavalry out of the battle and plunged into the Qi people's cavalry.
