Morale has a certain impact on the outcome of the war, but it is not the only factor. The number of troops is still very important.
After all, Liu Bei's army was outnumbered and not composed of a mob. When their coach put aside all selfish thoughts, personally led the team and launched an all-out attack, they finally gained the upper hand.
In order to cope with the fierce attack of Liu Bei's army, Qingzhou's sharp archers began to join in hand-to-hand combat, which showed that the situation was critical.
Of course, whether this offensive can last is a question.
Liu Bei himself is not a fearless person. Historically, every time he was in trouble, his first thought was to escape. A handsome man is a brave soldier. Once danger arises, the fierce generals under his command often do not think of counterattack.
But to save people, it is no wonder that Liu Bei repeatedly used surprise troops and suffered defeats.
To attack the strong with the weak, the most trustworthy thing is not strategy, courage is the most important.
This is why Wang Yu’s words are so justified. When reading the novel, many times he lamented the loss of the fighter plane because of Liu Bei’s wiseness to protect himself. In wars, many times, victory or defeat can be decided in a matter of seconds.
If you fight back desperately, you may win, but if you run away, you will lose everything.
But no matter what, Liu Bei was very courageous at this moment. He even brandished his double sword and joined the battle group between Guan Yu and Wang Yu.
Wang Yu was a little surprised and a little surprised.
Liu Bei's martial arts skills are a mystery. Except for the Three Heroes' battle with Lu Bu, he basically has no record of single combat. Most of the subsequent descriptions show him dancing with his swords, fleeing, and seeing someone.
When he blocked the road, he cried loudly: "Why did God put me in such embarrassment! The situation has reached this point, it is better to die!" Then he drew his sword and killed himself, provoking his subordinates to fight to the death, and finally escaped and so on.
Wang Yu often sparred with Guan and Zhang, but he never sparred with Liu Bei. The latter usually regarded themselves as civil servants and monarchs, and he would not spar with others like generals, taking turns with their weapons.
However, as soon as he got his hands on it, Wang Yu discovered that Liu Bei's martial arts skills were quite good. Although he lacked actual combat experience, his skills were very solid. He was well versed in attacking and parrying with two swords, although his two-handed weapons were not as perfect as Tai Shi Ci's.
But he is still above second-rate. Judging from the several collisions of weapons, his strength is not bad.
If you want to find a standard to measure, Liu Bei's martial arts should be similar to Pan Zhang and Xu Shu. If he is willing to fight hard, he is actually a bit threatening. During the battle of Yuanshan, Xu Shu killed the general on the battlefield, wasn't it very majestic?
If it were one-on-one, Wang Yu estimated that even if Liu Bei had the bonus of anger, he would not be able to take twenty moves under his hands. However, now that he had to deal with Guan Yu's fierce attack, Liu Bei's threat was infinitely amplified.
The Qinglong Sword attacked head-on, and the two swords wandered aside. Fortunately, there was no Zhangba Snake Spear, otherwise Wang Yu would have been really overwhelmed. Even now, he was in a very embarrassed state.
"when!"
"laugh……"
While Wang Yu was parrying Guan Yu's slash, Liu Bei appeared behind Wang Yu like a ghost and took advantage of the situation to attack. Wang Yu fended off the Green Dragon Sword, but his strength was exhausted. When he dodged, he only avoided the sword swung by Liu Bei's right hand.
, he was stabbed squarely by the sword in his left hand that stabbed him silently.
The sword stabbed under the ribs. It failed to break the wound immediately and penetrated into the body. The sword bent slightly and the sharp blade passed across the body, opening a huge crack in Wang Yu's leather armor, like
It's a wound.
"The late emperor's treasure armor..." Liu Bei frowned, with regret in his tone, but he didn't know whether he regretted that he failed to hurt Wang Yu, or that the treasure left by the late emperor fell into the hands of outsiders.
"If Mr. Xuande likes it, I will make some for you in a few years." Wang Yu's tone was relaxed, but his smile was very forced.
The soft armor on his body is actually chain mail. The outside is covered with a fiber material that looks like hemp but not hemp. In the middle is a network of intertwined iron rings. The iron rings that make up the network are extremely fine, so even though it is soft when worn,
, but its defense is very good.
However, no matter how good the armor is, it cannot be truly invulnerable. The greatest function of this kind of soft armor is to resist assassinations with short weapons at close range. It is also very effective against arrows and the like, but it has little resistance against spears, axes and the like.
If you are strong enough, it will be okay if you are scratched by the Qinglong Sword, but if it is hit from the front, a hundred soft armors will not be able to stop it.
Liu Bei's left-hand sword was hidden, and the sword was not strong enough, so it was completely blocked. However, the soft armor could block the blade, but it could not block the power of the thrust, so Wang Yu's ribs were still very painful.
"The late emperor's royal objects were obtained by luck, so they should be worshiped solemnly. But when it comes to imitating them, Xu Zijiang is right. You are indeed a rebellious person who will bring trouble to the world!" Liu Bei's face was gloomy, and his swords were like the wind.
He stabbed continuously, cursed loudly, and had a posture of quickly getting rid of the enemy.
"...So, even if I give you this one, you won't wear it anymore?" Wang Yu was one against two, and the situation was critical. The guards on the left and right were blocked by Liu Bei's guards, and Zhao Yun on the other side was also blocked.
Chen Dao tried his best to cling to him, but when Liu Bei thought about it, the other party should be frightened and angry. But looking at him, he looked calm, and even looked like he was sarcastic...
Liu Bei suddenly felt uneasy.
"When death is imminent, do you really want to fight to the end and perish together?" He gestured with his eyes to Guan Yu to step up the offensive, and Liu Bei repeated his old trick. The plan was false, and his real killer still took the opportunity to sneak attack. This time he was lucky.
After a little effort, if Wang Yu only focused on retorting, he would definitely be in bad luck.
Naturally, the same trick would not work again. Wang Yu easily avoided Liu Bei's sneak attack, turned around like a whirlwind, and faced each other face to face. He smiled and said: "Mr.
I didn’t expect you to show up, and were you completely unprepared?”
"What do you want to say?" Liu Bei's face was as cold as ice. He raised his swords continuously and cooperated with Guan Yu to kill Wang Yu. However, the shadow in his heart became more and more intense.
"It's very simple, I have an ambush." The damage on Wang Yu's armor became more and more, but the smile on his face became brighter and brighter. What he said made Liu Bei tremble.
"Impossible, there are people thirty miles away from the other side..."
"You have all your sentinels?" Wang Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "It's useless, because they are not professional enough..." He turned sideways to avoid another sword attack, and kept saying: "You look like you don't believe it? Then I
I'll show you the evidence!" As he said that, he whistled loudly.
Obviously, this is a signal.
The next moment, the last few sharpshooters responsible for sniping suddenly dropped their bows and arrows. The leader took out a paper cylinder from his arms, and the others took out igniters.
The thing quickly lit the fire and moved it to the side of the cylinder...
The leading archer stared at the cylinder, waited for a moment, then focused his gaze and suddenly threw the cylinder into the sky.
Then, an amazing scene happened...
After the power of the upward throw was exhausted, the cylinder did not fall back to the ground according to the normal rules. Instead, after an explosion, it let out a piercing scream and flew straight up, drawing a bright line in the dark night sky.
Trajectory!
Finally, it exploded again at the end of the unknown darkness, turning into a ball of colorful light, as if dawn had arrived early and the red sun had risen in the sky.
"Don't panic, it's just a signal for help!" Liu Bei is ambitious and calm in battle. Although Liu Bei was taken aback, he did not panic. He was not like many white men who only stared at the fireworks and ignored the enemy in front of them.
.
This kind of signal with both light, shadow and sound has indeed better performance than the sounding arrow, but it also means that the enemy's communication distance is very far, so far that this special signal is used to transmit information.
In this case, it will not have much impact on the current battle situation, as long as you can win the battle quickly!
Liu Bei has changed his goal from total annihilation to beheading. Who makes the enemy always like to take the lead and be proud of it? Today, let him know why the son of a rich man has to sit down in court!
"Kill!" Liu Bei brandished his sword and shouted.
As if to be a footnote to his words, the halo in the sky had not completely dissipated. Somewhere far away on the north shore of Surabaya, the same signal rose into the sky.
Although it is difficult to distinguish the distance in the dark, from the light of the last explosion of the signal and the inaudible explosion, it is enough to judge that it is a quite remote place, at least twenty miles away!
In a large-scale battle, twenty miles is already the fighting distance. If the enemy is not found at this distance, the only chance is to be attacked.
However, under the current circumstances, twenty miles, and it is still twenty miles away from the north shore of Surabaya, is a quite safe distance. Not to mention that the estimate of twenty miles is not accurate at all. Look at the fireworks that just exploded.
It seems that saying that the response signal is forty miles away is not overly optimistic.
Coincidentally, just when Liu Bei turned from shock to joy, there was suddenly new movement on the other side of the river!
First there was a burst of chaotic and rapid footsteps. When I looked up, I saw countless figures swaying in the darkness. After a while, the familiar sound of arrows was heard...
Cao Bao is here!
"Hahahaha, Xianhe is back, and the Prime Minister's reinforcements have arrived!" Liu Bei was so happy that he laughed wildly and shouted: "Kill! Kill! Today's success is accomplished. I will drink a celebratory drink with you all the next day!"
"
Because he was so excited, Liu Bei didn't notice at all. Wang Yu suddenly sighed and murmured: "Brother really didn't mean it..."
Originally, he had a few very shocking words left to say.
For example, Liu Bei came to attack Guan Yu, which was a huge mistake. Even if he could have won the battle, he would lose in the end;
Another example is that from the beginning, Liu Bei had no hope of winning, because his ambush troops, or surprise troops, were already in place and could launch a siege at any time;
besides……
But it's meaningless to talk about it now. Liu Bei hypnotized himself to the edge of success. When his trump card was revealed, he fell from the sky to the ground, and landed on his face... That kind of blow was heavier than anything else.
.
Liu Bei couldn't read minds and didn't notice Wang Yu's expression or mutterings. As a result, tragedy inevitably happened...
The ambush appears!
At Liu Bei's most excited moment, he appeared in the most impactful way from the place where Liu Bei was least cautious! (To be continued.)
