Liu Bian stood in the wind, holding his fists in his arms, looking at the Xiliang Xiaoqi who were defeated by Wuyangyang and there was no trace of order at all. He shook his head disdainfully, smiled, and thought to himself:
"I originally thought that Xiliang Xiaoqi had obtained the Three Treasures of Equestrianism, and his combat power should at least be raised to a higher level. Maybe he could be evenly matched with us."
"But who would have thought..."
Even Liu Bian himself did not expect that the battlefield would look like this: "It's really disappointing that the Xiliang Knights are so vulnerable."
The voice of the Military Advisor Alliance immediately sounded: "Master Bian, although we have not carried out large-scale weapons restructuring for the cavalry to improve the corresponding combat effectiveness, the professionalism of the Nanyang cavalry has been greatly improved from top to bottom."
"The combat effectiveness of the foreign cavalry is strong because they are said to be a people on horseback. They regard war horses as their home and can achieve the state of unity between man and horse, so their riding skills are very powerful."
"But the combat effectiveness of the cavalry not only refers to riding skills, but also to slashing, fighting, archery, etc. This is a relatively comprehensive subject and is not as simple as imagined."
"A series of training programs designed by experts are aimed at improving the cavalry in all aspects. Besides eating and sleeping, these people spend all day on war horses for two years. Their riding skills are no worse than those of other races."
"The most important thing is that the aliens did not conduct targeted training, and our cavalry is trained in a targeted and conscious manner in all terrain conditions. Naturally, it is stronger than the alien cavalry."
"And don't forget it, Mr. Ben."
Speaking of this, the Alliance of Military Advisors emphasized: "Dragon Cavalry are elite soldiers and horses selected from Wolf Cavalry and Leopard Cavalry. You should be very clear about the individual combat capabilities of Leopard Cavalry in particular."
The wolf cavalry is better at cooperative combat, and uses various tactics to maximize the cavalry's combat capabilities. Therefore, their core is wolf pack tactics, which emphasize teamwork.
The Leopard Cavalry is different. It is a team that pursues victory and expands the results. It is good at ultra-long-distance pursuits. It can go deep behind enemy lines and perform combat tasks including reconnaissance, assassination, and ultra-long-distance attacks. It also pays attention to individual combat capabilities.
now!
In this way, the abilities of the two arms are concentrated on the dragon knights. It can be imagined how strong the combat capabilities of the dragon knights are. It is not an exaggeration to call them professional cavalry.
Liu Bian finally took a breath, nodded slowly, and expressed his agreement: "When we sweep across the north and fight against the foreign cavalry, our cavalry will definitely take shape."
"Whether it is Wuhuan or Xianbei, anyone who dares to be my strong enemy will be killed no matter how far away they are, and will never be tolerated. The great power of Han Dynasty will never allow foreign invasion."
The Alliance of Military Advisors followed: "Xiliang Xiaoqi has been defeated. It is estimated that Yuan Wei's infantry will come soon. This is a very, very critical step. We must perform this drama well."
"Don't worry."
Liu Bian was full of confidence, raised his head and said: "I have already explained it to Guo Jia, Zhuge, Sima and others. I guarantee that there will be no problems. Let's just watch the show with peace of mind."
Despite this, the Military Advisor Alliance still maintained a cautious attitude: "Have anyone sent someone to control the soldiers and horses in Wuguan Road?"
Liu Bien said: "The genius boy Ban Wenqin is in charge. If there is any movement, it will be reported immediately."
Only then did the Military Advisor Alliance feel at ease: "Well, Wen Qin's overall ability is quite good. No wonder he can cultivate a son like Wen Yuan. He is indeed a general. With him, there will definitely be no problem."
Liu Bian naturally knew Wen Qin's strength, otherwise he would not have been selected into one of the five internship lists. Liu Bian was very torn between Lu Meng and him at the beginning.
In the end, considering Lu Meng's future development path, Liu Bian chose Wen Qin to be one of the five interns on the list, while temporarily giving up Lu Meng and staying in Nanyang.
"Report—!"
At this moment, Zhu Tong hurried over and bowed his hands: "Your Majesty, we should move too, it's not very safe here."
Although Liu Bian was absolutely confident that the opponent could not kill here, he still nodded firmly and waved his hand: "Lead the way, where should we move?"
Zhu Tong said softly: "Let's go back to the camp first, let the enemy know that we are already in the camp, and then leave through the back door of the camp. Your Majesty, don't worry, only the general and the guards will follow, so there will be no suspicion."
"kindness."
Liu Bian nodded: "In that case, let's go."
Zhu Tong nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Immediately.
Liu Bian followed Zhu Tong and swaggered all the way back to the camp. After a moment of pause, he left from the direction of the rear camp with only a few guards and went into hiding.
*****
The dense forest outside the Pass.
A relatively good observation point.
Yuan Wei stood under the tree, staring at Wu Yangyang's defeated Xiliang Xiaoqi, and the chasing Dragon Rider, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly:
"Duan Xuan deserves to be Duan Xuan. He acted so resemblingly that even the old man didn't see the slightest flaw. I think the Nanyang cavalry will never give up on this group of defeated troops."
"kindness."
Even His Majesty the Emperor Liu Xie did not see any flaws: "Thank you for your hard work, Duan Xuan. There are clearly over ten thousand cavalry, but you still have to act like you are defeated, and you don't show any flaws."
"He is worthy of being a brother of Duan Juan from Sanming County in Liangzhou. If we can really enter Nanyang, we will definitely become a general and a marquis in the future. I will never break my promise."
"Your Majesty is wise."
Having said this, Yuan Wei turned to look at the little emperor and bowed his head: "We can send a signal to Shisun Rui. As soon as they start fighting over there, we will be ready to enter the Pass at any time."
Liu Xie'en nodded: "Okay, immediately send a signal to Shisun Rui, go down the mountain at the same time, and be ready to enter Aoguan at any time, success or failure depends on this."
Yuan Wei nodded: "Here."
Immediately.
A red flag stood in the forest, which was a signal to the infantry below.
After doing this, Yuan Wei bowed his head and said softly: "Your Majesty, we can go down."
Liu Xie waved his hand: "Let's go!"
now.
Yaoguan is five miles away.
Shi Sunrui sat upright on his horse, looking at the fluttering bright red flag in the mountains and forests ahead, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally got the signal!
He no longer hesitated and waved his hand: "Brothers, quickly kill Benyaoguan and launch a strong attack. The ambush in Yaoguan will help us. We must break through the Yaoguan city gate in the shortest possible time."
All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill—!"
Wuyangyang's soldiers and horses rushed forward in unison, heading straight for the Pass.
About half an hour.
Then we arrived at Yaoguan.
Shi Sunrui looked at the soldiers and horses at the top of the city in the distance. The flying flags were like black clouds pressing down on the city, giving people a psychological shock and achieving the effect of taking the lead.
pity......
Shisun Rui was determined to win and did not accept this trick at all. He did not bother to answer the other party. He immediately let out a cry, drew his sword from its sheath, pointed angrily at the top of the city, and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Brothers, attack the city!"
The soldiers held their weapons high and shouted at the top of their lungs, "Kill—!"
The thick shouts of killing resounded in the sky, and the vast army of soldiers and horses surged towards the Aoguan Pass like a wave.
Deng Zhan, the leader of the personal guard army, was already ready for battle, staring at the brothers who were flying over, judging the shooting distance of the bow and crossbow.
Closer!
Closer!
A little closer!
...
"Crossbowmen prepare."
Deng Zhan's eyes were bright and he slowly raised his right hand.
When the enemy came within the range of the crossbow, he did not hesitate and gave the order: "Fire the arrows!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, hundreds of arrows suddenly flew into the air. After gathering in the air, they immediately covered the crowds of soldiers and horses like a torrential rain.
You must know that the soldiers and horses led by Deng Zhan are the most elite soldiers under Liu Bian's command. Each one of them is equipped with the most sophisticated equipment. Even if the arrow is missing, it is a triangular arrowhead with the strongest armor-piercing ability.
Although Shisun Rui's infantry were all sword and shield soldiers and wore thick leather armor, even so, the arrows that failed to stop them still easily penetrated the leather armor and penetrated the flesh.
Outside Aoguan City, scores of soldiers fell to the ground, like cutting wheat. If the opponent's troops were not too strong, this wave of missing arrows might frighten the opponent into stopping and not daring to move forward.
but......
The soldiers carrying shields had their vision blocked, so they had the courage to continue the attack.
But Sun Rui, the sergeant in charge of the command, was greatly surprised. His eyes were as wide as bells: "How is this possible? How come my elite men are so vulnerable!"
You know, Shi Sunrui leads the most elite soldiers and horses in Chang'an. Every day training is never delayed, and even the equipment is top-notch.
But who would have thought that even so, he would still be so vulnerable in front of Nanyang's soldiers and horses, and the opponent's precise strike ability was really terrifying.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as Shi Sun Rui was astonished, a second wave of arrow rain followed. This time, the impact was wider and already involved the spearmen and crossbowmen who came later.
They had no shields to protect them at all. This wave of arrow attacks were like cutting wheat, they fell down, and even the attacking echelons were interrupted!
"Damn it!"
Scholar Sun Rui was astonished.
If it were normal times, he would definitely retreat temporarily, and then discuss countermeasures and organize troops to attack.
But now, His Majesty the Emperor is already waiting for him, and the ambush troops in the pass have probably moved closer. If he retreats at this time, it will harm everyone.
so!
Scholar Sun Rui could not and did not dare to retreat.
Now, he can only bite the bullet and bite off this hard bone.
Therefore, regardless of the sacrifices of his soldiers, he held his weapons high and kept shouting: "Charge forward! Charge forward all of them! You must take down the Pass at all costs."
Peng! Peng! Peng!
Not long after, the soldiers in the front row rushed to the bottom of the Pass, and ladders were erected in an instant. The soldiers took advantage of the situation to climb up and get closer to the city.
But......
What greeted them was one after another fire and thunder bombs, pouring down from the top of the city. The targets were all concentrated at the gathering place of the soldiers on the ladder, so that the power of the fire and thunder could be maximized.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Continuous explosions sounded, and smoke and dust filled the sky. Broken limbs and arms mixed with smoke and dust were splashed everywhere. The sound of wailing seemed to fill the sky above the gate in an instant, straight into the sky, and could be heard endlessly.
"ah!"
Shisun Rui was stunned, his eyes almost exploded, and his body was shaking non-stop. He had never seen such a scene before, and a thin stream of cold sweat flowed all over his body, soaking his armor in an instant.
"Is this the Fire and Thunder Bomb?"
Shisun Rui had naturally heard of the power of the Fire Thunder.
But......
He had never believed that humans could control fire and thunder, so he didn't take it seriously at all, treating it as a legend.
But who could have imagined that this scene actually happened in front of them. A fire thunder bomb fell down, and more than ten people were killed in an instant. They were blown into a lake of flesh and blood, and their arms and legs were broken.
You know, this thing is just a short stick. If the dose is slightly larger, it can break mountains and crack rocks. Doesn't this prove that the Battle of Baibo Valley is not a rumor, but a reality?
This wave of fire and thunder bombs came down, and the soldiers who were attacking the city were so frightened that their livers and gallbladders were broken. They fell down one after another in defeat and fled as if they were running away.
"Damn it!"
How could Shi Sunrui just watch his defeat?
After all, everything is ready, all it takes is the last tremor. Even if the entire army is wiped out, we still have to resist.
Without any hesitation, Shisun Ruice immediately stepped forward, killed a retreating soldier with a sword, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Come forward, all of you. Those who are timid and retreat will be killed without mercy!"
Phew! Phew!
Immediately afterwards, Shi Sunrui slashed from left to right and killed the two retreating ones again: "Come on all of them and capture the Pass at all costs. Those who are timid and retreat will be killed without mercy!"
"kill-!"
This roar.
It's like spring thunder bursting out of the mouth, and thunderbolts shaking on the tip of the tongue.
In fact, Shi Sunrui felt even more pain in his heart. He did it even though he knew it was impossible to do, which was unwise.
But he had no choice. After all, the arrow was on the string and he had to fire it.
The only solution he had now was to hold on and wait for the ambush in the Pass to cooperate with him to break open the city gate.
Although the soldiers were frightened, they still bit the bullet and fought back again. Although the shouts of killing were invigorating, they lacked a trace of murderous intent and were more of just emboldening their courage.
Deng Zhan was naturally rude and ordered the soldiers at the top of the city to pick up fire and thunder bombs and greeted them fiercely. The explosions again and again made shallow pits on the ground outside the city. .
Corpses littered the fields and rivers of blood flowed!
Smoke filled the air, and the wailing was endless!
For half an hour, the enemy troops did not attack even half a step up, and very few people could even attack to the bottom of the city. They just stayed within a certain range and tried their best to save their lives.
at the same time.
Inside the Pass.
He Yun and Dian Wei, who were responsible for guarding the door, listened to the explosions outside and leaned against the wall in boredom. They didn't even bother to take out their weapons and were worrying about each other.
"well-!"
He Yun sighed, shook his head, and said softly: "General Dian, did you see that the commander is crazy? He is playing with fire and thunder bullets as a toy, and he is not afraid of scaring back everyone on the other side."
"This is really a bit..."
Dian Wei didn't know how to describe it, so he just smiled awkwardly: "It's a bit too much. After all, the Fire and Thunder bombs are limited. Once they are used up, they will be gone."
"But it doesn't matter."
He Yun took up the conversation, shrugged, and said softly: "Even if this battle is not the last battle, it is still the last battle. Use it up when you use it up. Your Majesty said that human life is more valuable than that thing."
"Those who can be dealt with by using ambushes and thunder bombs must not rush forward easily. Although on the battlefield, only those who are not afraid of death deserve to be alive, but that doesn't mean that we have to charge blindly, right?"
"Okay."
He Yun raised his eyes and glanced above: "I'm having a lot of fun. We can only stay here and watch the show. It's really boring. We have agreed in advance. If the thieves really go to raid the camp, where will you go? I will be there."
Guard here."
"OK!"
"no problem."
Dian Wei agreed without hesitation: "After all, I made a great contribution when I was in Wuguan. You have been with His Majesty the whole time, so I leave this place to you. Although the number is small, we must perform well."
He Yun patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, it's hard to win, but isn't it easy to lose?"
Dian Wei smiled: "It's not easy to lose. We are carefully selected soldiers. Which one of us can't be equal to ten? With these soldiers and horses in the pass, I guarantee that we will not be your opponent."
"Simple."
He Yun said softly: "When the time comes, you can lead the large army away and leave me only a few soldiers and horses. Even if you can't kill me, you can still trap me, right? You can come back to support me then."
Dianwei said: "Okay, that's all."
Winter! Winter! Winter!
Dongdong—!
At this moment, the rapid and dull sound of drumming suddenly sounded.
This is the signal that the camp is under attack.
Dian Wei raised his eyes and looked, not in a hurry at all, because His Majesty the Emperor was not there at all, it was just an empty camp: "Okay, the signal has come, I have to go, you take care of yourself."
"rest assured."
He Yun raised his hand and said confidently.
Dian Wei waved his hand and shouted coldly: "Brothers, follow me!"
All the soldiers under his command shouted: "Here."
Wu Yangyang's soldiers and horses rushed towards the camp and left the city gate.
Le Zang, who was hiding in the woods, was immediately overjoyed: "The general really has a clever plan. There are only a dozen people now, but we have more than a hundred people. Brothers, take this opportunity to break open the city gate."
"Kill with me!"
"kill!"
All the soldiers shouted in unison and rushed out with weapons in hand.
He Yun, who was stationed at the city gate, was surprised and happy in his heart: "It's really here. Brothers, follow the original plan and kill as many as I can. There are many of them anyway."
More than ten soldiers and horses shouted in unison: "Kill—!"
Immediately.
A mongzi plunged directly into it.
He Yun was a well-known ranger in Nanyang. He followed Liu Bian for two years and often competed with Shi A, Deng Zhan, Zhu Tong and others in martial arts. Now his martial arts has reached its peak.
"You thief, how dare you!"
He Yun pretended to shout. Although his face was furrowed and angry, his heart was already filled with joy. It was finally his turn to take action.
He walked with strange steps, rushed towards the crowded place, shouted angrily, drew his sword in his hand, and then walked even faster, leaving an afterimage on the ground.
After a while, the soldiers at the forefront had a sword mark on their brows, throats, or hearts!
He Yun's grasp of the timing of this move was simply perfect.
Killing ten times with one sword is extremely cool.
Although this addiction was enough, the opponent's fighting power was really poor. Twenty or thirty people died in a short fight. If the fight continued like this, they might not be able to kill even these hundred or ten people.
clang-!
As a last resort, He Yun directly turned on the waterproof mode.
The sword fell, and his strength dropped by three points. He even deliberately sold out his flaws to allow the opponent to catch his attack: "With your three-legged skills, how dare you do a sneak attack?"
Holding a knife in both hands, Le Zhan resisted the pressure from He Yun, gritted his teeth, and shouted sternly: "You are indeed elite soldiers, but there are many of us."
"Brothers, rush over and open the city gate first!"
"Be quick!"
Le Zhan shouted at the top of his lungs, "Let's hold our opponent back."
All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Here."
Immediately.
A large wave of soldiers bypassed He Yun and rushed towards the city gate.
He Yun was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was anxious: "Hurry, stop them."
Le Zhan stepped sideways to block him: "Your opponent is me!"
"snort!"
He Yun snorted coldly: "You alone are worthy of being my opponent, He Yun? You are simply looking for death!"
Le Zhan held the Huanshou Sword tightly with both hands: "Even if we can't stop it, we will still fight to the death."
He Yun was delighted, this was the effect he wanted: "Don't overestimate your own capabilities!"
Clang! Clang! Clang!
At that moment, He Yun knocked away his opponent's Huanshou Sword, held up a sword flower, and attacked his opponent like a violent storm like a violent storm.
Le Zhan's eyes were as wide as a bell and he tried his best to resist He Yun's attack.
The golden sound exploded, and the sparks burst out.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides went back and forth for more than twenty rounds.
Le Zhang watched the city gate open and was ecstatic in his heart: "Huh! I thought you were so powerful, but I didn't expect you to be so vulnerable. We..."
puff!
He Yuncai was too lazy to listen to the other party's nonsense.
Without saying a word, he directly raised his hand, and a green light suddenly spit out from his sleeves!
The sword edge dances wildly, and the sword energy is flowing freely in a leisurely manner!
The smile on Le Zhan's face gradually solidified.
Only then did he realize that he had made a fatal mistake:
underestimate the enemy!
The young man in front of him has superb swordsmanship. He can kill ten people with one sword and is unstoppable.
However, when he encountered himself, he went through twenty rounds and failed to hurt himself at all.
This is definitely not because I am powerful, but because the other party is deliberately letting themselves go. They are deliberately letting themselves succeed. There must be a conspiracy in this.
But......
Such a top secret, he knew it too late.
That extremely sharp sword energy ignored the limitations of time and space and shot out quickly!
The ruthless and cold sword energy flew across the place, like the sound of phoenixes clear and violent.
Next…
An extremely shrill howl suddenly sounded.
"ah-!"
Le Zhan didn't even have time to shout out "I've fallen into the trap" before the huge head soared into the sky!
The blood surged like a spring, rising several feet, and Le Zhang's head still retained the last moment of fear and shock.
"Kill me!"
He Yun gave the order.
Only then did the personal guards beside him show their true strength.
One man and one sword, he killed all the enemies in front of him. Looking back, he saw a deafening shout of killing coming from the direction of the city gate!
