With the north wind blowing on him, Hua Xiong felt more and more refreshed and happy, and the speed of his horse became faster and faster. Accelerate! Accelerate! Accelerate! Charge! Charge! Charge!

Soon!

It’s really fast!

The distance between the front and back was only more than fifty feet, and it was just a charge for the war horse at this moment. Thinking of this, Hua Xiong, who was getting faster and faster, clenched the long knife in his hand and squinted his eyes to look ahead.

Silently gathering the strong energy in his body, Hua Xiong planned to split the two carts with one strike! He firmly believed that the cart in front of him would not be spared by his slash.

Click!

There was a very faint sound, and suddenly Hua Xiong's ears twitched, and then he jumped down from the war horse, going from a speed of at least dozens of miles to an instant standstill. He only took one breath,

It was the ground beneath his feet that left two deep footprints.

As for the original war horse, it wailed and then fell to the ground, followed by even more painful wailing.

ah!

ah!

ah!

Continuous cries of pain kept coming. The faster each cavalry rushed, the faster they died!

Not every cavalryman has Hua Xiong's peerless force and can jump off his horse in an instant, no matter what!

Most of the cavalry fell miserably when they jumped off their horses in a hurry. They were either slightly injured or seriously injured. Some of the unlucky ones even had their necks twisted directly or were stepped on by their horses...

Lifting his feet, Hua Xiong discovered the culprit!

This is a nail with a strange shape. This nail looks like four nails nailed together. With the origin as the center, four nails radiate out to the surrounding space.

This peculiar shape makes it so that no matter how it is placed, at the moment the nail hits the ground, three sides will be supported on the ground, and the remaining side will stand up.

After a while, Dong Zhuo held a dozen such nails in his hand. He casually let go of his hand. When he landed on the ground, he saw a dozen nails pointing upward.

Then he opened his eyes wide, took it in his hand again, and threw it to the ground casually again, with one side still facing up. It seemed that no matter how he threw it, it would have the same effect.

Seeing this scene, Dong Zhuo's heart was broken!

How could you do this?

The blacksmith who made this tool deserves death!

"Although this object is small, it is made of fine steel. It is extremely vicious. If a war horse steps on it, it will definitely hurt the horse's hooves, and then the war horse will be disabled." At this point, Li Ru frowned.

what to do?

Could it be that a large army of one man and three horses came here in advance, only to return without success because of this inconspicuous gadget?

"How about we put a layer of iron shoes on the horses' hooves? A war horse wearing iron shoes will no longer be afraid of this thing?" Hua Xiong scratched his head and said with an idea.

"What? How is this possible?"

"Is this still possible?"

Feeling the attention of everyone, Hua Xiong patted his chest: "People can wear shoes, why can't horses wear boots?"

"And after wearing a layer of iron shoes, you are not even afraid of these things, but will you be afraid of the wear and tear of the horses' hooves by stones? The service life of the war horses will definitely be greatly extended."

The more he talked about it, the more excited he became, and even the eyes of other generals lit up. It seemed to be the truth, but when did Hua Xiong become so smart?

"Ahem, that's for the future. What should we do today?"

"This is not simple..."

Big trees were cut down one after another, and they were dragged and pushed forward by the cavalry, and then the gadgets were pierced into the big trees. However, when they cleared within thirty feet, they were hit by strong crossbows.

.

Once a powerful crossbow is fired, it will be a ranged attack, and ordinary cavalry cannot stop it!

This time, a good cavalry attack turned into a war of attrition!

Dozens of arrows consumed the life of a Xiliang cavalryman. Dong Zhuo's face turned green because of the wealth of the Yellow Turban Army. Is this the Yellow Turban Army? Do they have so many arrows? Where did their bows and arrows come from? Could it be the strong wind?

of?

Although Dong Zhuo was not a mathematician, and no one had built a mathematical model for him to tell him how many of the Flying Bear Army would have to die at the current casualty rate to completely eliminate this nail, his keen intuition like a beast told him that he could not

If this goes on!

When the Flying Bear Army's casualties went from double digits to triple digits, a five-foot-wide safe route was finally cleared, but that was all.

At this moment, a full hour has passed since Dong Zhuo was discovered!

"Charge! Hua Xiong, take the lead! Charge once and see if you can defeat him." Dong Zhuo said seriously.

At this point, he no longer dares to say that he must defeat them. This Yellow Turban Army is full of evil from beginning to end, and it seems that past experience will not be used on them!

How long is five feet?

One foot is about 3.3 meters, and five feet is 16.5 meters. It looks very wide, but for the cavalry, it is really too narrow!

The cavalry is different from the infantry. The dense formation of the infantry can stick together very closely, but the cavalry cannot, not only there are people but also horses!

It's okay if you let trained people squeeze together side by side, but if you let untrained horses suddenly squeeze together, it's a stampede!

Strong crossbow!

Hundreds of powerful crossbows fired arrows at a five-foot-wide area, almost continuously. Starting from a hundred steps away, cavalrymen continued to fall to the ground. This was a road of death.

Dong Zhuo didn't care about their casualties, and Li Ru didn't care about their casualties, or even themselves. When their comrades in front fell, the cavalry behind them didn't have time to grieve, so they controlled their horses and jumped over, heading into the distance.

The cart charges!

Ten cavalrymen passed by, and at least five fell to the ground on the way to the charge.

Drink!

With a loud cry of grief and anger, Hua Xiong held a long knife in his hand and used his Gangqi to slash down the cart directly in front of him. The knife came out and destroyed the cart!

At the same time, six or seven spears were pierced towards him. When they were within three feet of him, they were blocked by the Gang Qi!

With just one tap, six or seven spears broke!

It’s not that the quality of the spear is poor, it’s that the Gang Qi is too powerful!

"The thief will die!"

Bang!

Their weapons collided, Hua Xiong's face turned pale and he took a few steps back.

Bang!

The weapons touched again, and Hua Xiong took a few steps back again!

Bang!

After retreating, Hua Xiong found that he had already retreated to the outside of the chariot. He looked at the surrounding Flying Bear Army and found that almost few of them were still standing.

This time he didn't even say harsh words and ran back directly!

Yes, he ran back!

Although it has two legs, it is faster than riding a war horse!

A large number of arrows were stuck in his back, or followed him to eat ashes. After a while, when Hua Xiong returned to Dong Zhuo, he took out the weapon in his hand without saying a word.

"General, it's not that Hua Xiong is greedy for life and afraid of death, but their weapons are too, too..."

As soon as Hua Xiong dissipated his energy, the long knife in his hand shattered into dozens of large and small fragments and scattered on the ground. Dong Zhuo quickly grabbed a fragment and studied it carefully, his eyes widened.

"Hua Xiong, I remember that your long sword is made of fine iron and weighs three hundred and sixty pounds. It is considered the first-class weapon in the entire Liangzhou." Dong Zhuo said slowly.

"right."

"Your bravery and strength are the number one in the entire Xiliang."

"That's right."

"But what about that big black guy? Does he have any reputation?"

"Information from the imperial court shows that his name is Zhou Cang, and he is a farmer with some talent." Li Ru added.

When Dong Zhuo questioned him, Hua Xiong was not afraid at all, because even if Dong Zhuo punished him, he would just beat him or demote him, but Li Ru was different. Recalling Li Ru's style in the past, Hua Xiong couldn't help but beat him.

Got a shiver.

"Wen You doesn't have to be like this. We underestimated the Yellow Turban Army! Such a precious sword was actually held by an unknown Zhou Cang."

"We know too little about the Yellow Turban Army, so it is not surprising that this defeat occurred. But this is also a good thing. It is better to fail now than to fail when commanding the army in the future."

On the surface he was still smiling, but in his heart he was scolding the senior officials of the imperial court!

A mere five thousand Yellow Turban Army has hundreds of powerful crossbows!

A little-known Zhou Cang had such a powerful weapon. With the sharpness of the weapon, he could even defeat Hua Xiong, who was known as the number one warrior in Xiliang!

A mere five thousand Yellow Turban Army dared to face three thousand Flying Bear Army without running away!

Who gave them the courage?
