Across the fighting warriors from both sides, Zhang Liao and Turkin's eyes met. They both refused to give in. There seemed to be a smell of sword light and flint in the air.
The soldiers under the two men were fighting together risking their lives.
A Xianbei soldier had just stabbed a Han soldier in the abdomen when he was slashed in the shoulder by another Han soldier. The sharp long knife immediately cut off his arm, and the blood sprayed from the severed limb.
The faces of the people around me are different.
The Xianbei soldier with a broken arm screamed in pain. Before he could retreat, he was stabbed in the chest with a spear by another Han soldier. Before this Han soldier could pull out his spear, another Xianbei soldier was stabbed in the chest by another Xianbei soldier.
The soldier hit him in the neck...
In the crowded battle formation, it is almost a one-for-one battle. No one knows whether someone else or themselves will die next. They can only hold the weapons in their hands and try to kill more opponents before others kill themselves.
Come and pave a bloody road of struggle for survival for yourself.
Tulkin suddenly showed a sarcastic smile. He stared at the Han general opposite for so long, but the Han general did not move at all. Then he looked at the blood all over his body, although it was probably his son's.
, but it may also be his own. Originally, he thought that the probability of the Han general being injured has been increased a few points. Now it is time to try again...
Tulkin roared suddenly, and the bodyguard in front of him heard the sound and immediately pulled to the side to make way for Tulkin to come out. Tulkin rushed up with a few steps holding a battle ax.
!
Several oncoming Han soldiers pointed their spears at Turkin, but were blocked by the guards around him who held up their shields. Immediately, five or six swords and spears were slashed on the shields. Turkin's guards
With another shout, he suddenly pushed the swords and guns to the side, and Tulkin's battle ax roared out at the gap exposed in the shield!
Swinging the big ax, Turkin fiercely cut off the two spears that were stuck in, and then slashed the two axes hard on the shield of the Han army in front of him. The shield, which was covered with blood, immediately fell into pieces, and sawdust scattered everywhere.
Revealing the Han soldiers behind.
Tulkin showed a cruel smile, and struck down with an ax like a whirlwind. He didn't even care that a Han soldier at his side was stabbing him with a big spear. Seeing that the Han soldier was about to succeed, Tulkin's guards brought him up.
The shield blocks it and cannot advance even an inch.
Tulkin chopped down the Han soldier whose shield was destroyed, and then struck down with an ax with his backhand. The Han gunman and his spear were cut off! Tulkin swung his ax again,
The head of the Han army suddenly flew high into the sky with blood!
I saw Turjin raising his battle ax high, his eyes filled with blood, like a ferocious beast, and roared at Zhang Liao. The Xianbei soldiers around him were also inspired by this, and they also followed the loud roar and went up crazily.
Fighting forward, the Han army was forced to retreat.
The soldiers in the Han army formation were somewhat scattered. If it were not for the usual rigorous training and the subconscious persistence, I am afraid that at this time, they would have completely collapsed and turned around and fled.
When one-tenth of the soldiers are lost in hand-to-hand combat, if the rest of the soldiers can still continue to fight, they are considered to be pretty good soldiers. If one-fifth or even one-third of the soldiers are lost in battle, they are still not good enough.
Those who will retreat are often not something that can be achieved through training, but must be accompanied by their unyielding will.
The Bingzhou soldiers had accumulated a lot of hatred between the Xianbei people and the Xianbei people for generations. Every year, the Xianbei went south to clear grass valleys, plundered the Han people, and burned down their homes. These hatreds accumulated over and over again, year after year.
The accumulation has reached a very terrifying level. Now that someone is leading the fight against Xianbei and the enemy is right in front of us, is there any reason not to risk one's life?!
Although the Dry Bones Pass is dilapidated, it was once a barrier for the Han people. At this moment, they are standing on this piece of land. Although these Han soldiers do not understand any rhetoric or read the Four Books and Five Classics, they still understand that behind this pass,
It is my hometown and my relatives!
As a soldier, if you don’t fight now, then when will you wait?
As a soldier, if you are not brave at this time, what's the use!
At this moment, the soldiers of both sides were fighting each other, and they were out of formation. Fighting to such a desperate level was no longer a battle. They just wanted to overwhelm the other side with all their strength! Countless people lost their weapons and struggled together, rolling in the bloody cement mud.
It’s hard to tell what the shouts and curses mean. Everyone seems to be just a beast, biting each other with claws and teeth, howling desperately, and devouring each other’s life!
One side is desperately trying to break through the pass here, while the other side is desperately trying to block the opponent and fight back. Both sides can vaguely feel that today's battle will almost determine the fate of the entire Han and Xianbei at the Dry Bones Crossing.
!
This is simply a decisive battle battlefield chosen by both sides unanimously and made in heaven.
Zhang Liao looked at Turkin's arrogant look and clutched the spear tightly. He wanted to rush forward several times, but in the end he gritted his teeth and endured it...
If Zhang Liao's previous character were to be followed, there would be no retreat at all. A head-on confrontation would be a head-to-head confrontation. Even if there were thousands of troops in front, he would still dare to block it by one person!
However, after all, Junhou once said that this is Zhang Liao's strength and weakness. If someone takes advantage of it, it will become a fatal flaw.
If Xianbei's spears were raining down just now, if it weren't for his good luck and the guards risking their lives to protect him, he might have been injured on the spot!
There is even a risk to life!
It's a trivial matter for one of you to be injured. If it causes the entire army to be frustrated and ruins the prince's plan, this is the most serious problem.
Personal bravery is good, but one cannot rely solely on personal bravery.
Zhang Chen hurriedly ran over and reached Zhang Liao's side. As soon as he said "get ready", he saw Zhang Liao nodded, picked up the spear, rushed forward, and shouted loudly: "Go to both sides."
retreat!"
The Han army, which was struggling to hold on, heard the order and quickly began to retreat. However, the Xianbei soldiers who had risen up could not easily let go. They immediately poured out from the gate of the pass city, and even eagerly climbed the collapsed wall and went to the pass.
The Han army is coming to kill you.
Zhang Liao's big spear was like a dragon. He passed by the retreating Han soldiers, and then fired a shot at the chest and abdomen of the Xianbei soldier who was following behind and tried to kill him. He heard a dull sound of bone cracking, and then the unlucky Xianbei soldier
Not only was the soldier's entire forward momentum sucked back, but he also bumped into the other two men and fell into a pile.
Instead of piercing with a gun, you use smashing. Although it doesn't seem to be lethal enough, it's because the piercing with a gun can only pierce a line, while the sweep can intercept a whole line!
Zhang Liao brandished his spear and swept left and right to cover the retreating Han soldiers, fighting and retreating.
Just when Zhang Liao was about to retreat, a bad wind suddenly rose, and a dark battle ax suddenly flew out from the group of Xianbei soldiers and struck Zhang Liao straight in the face!
It was Tulkin who came to kill!
Zhang Liao did not dodge or dodge. He stretched out his ape-like arms and rushed forward with his spear, whistling and piercing Turkin's head!
The spear combined with the arm length is more than a length longer than Tulkin's battle ax. If Tulkin did not change direction, he would definitely be hit by the spear first!
The shield that Tulkin originally held in his hand, perhaps because of its cumbersomeness, or perhaps because of his desire to kill, had been thrown away at some point. Now he was holding a battle ax in both hands, and when he saw Zhang Liao's spear piercing it like a giant python, the lightning flashed.
Between the flint and stone, only a muffled sound of "pop" was heard. At this moment, Turkin let go of his head, grabbed the spine of the spear, then put his back against the spear, and swung the ax along the spine of the spear.
Come!
Weapons are the second life of a general. No matter how powerful he is with his bare hands, he cannot withstand more than a dozen machetes. If this ax is cut off, the weakest person will let go of the gun and retreat. If he takes a step slower, he may even lose his fingers and arms.
They will all be chopped off!
Zhang Liao put his hands on the spear, grasped the yin and yang handle, and with a flick of his power, with the strength of Turkin's grip, the barrel of the big spear flicked in an instant, and the ax surface that came close to the barrel was stretched immediately, and then again
With a fierce spin, Turjin could no longer adapt to Zhang Liao's change of speed in a short period of time. He couldn't catch the spear, so he had to let go!
When both sides meet face to face, they will know the depth.
Turkin, when he started walking as a child, he followed the surrounding tribesmen's children and learned to wrestle with the adults. When he was less than ten years old, he followed the adults to hunt wild beasts on the grassland. At the age of fourteen, he killed a wolf alone, took out the wolf fangs, and officially joined the army.
, followed the Xianbei King Bu Dugen into the battle, and also had a great reputation in the Xianbei Royal Court. However, in this meeting, Zhang Liao was not able to take advantage of him at all.
Tulkin narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his battle ax with his feet unsteady, and stared at Zhang Liao closely.
When encountering an opponent of this level, if there is even a slight flaw or a trace of negligence, I am afraid that I will be killed immediately!
Turkin exhaled loudly, and struck the center of the gun flower with an axe!
Then, it came to nothing...
It was seen that Zhang Liao made no move to continue the fight with Tulkin. The gunfire he shook out was just a feint, and when Tulkin was exhausted by the move, he turned around and ran away dragging the spear.
Turjin was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but raise an unknown fire of karma, and immediately let out a deafening roar at Zhang Liao's fleeing figure, and took big steps to catch up!
Several Xianbei people surrounded the Han soldiers who had no time to retreat and chopped them to the ground. Then they suddenly looked up and saw that only their own people were left around. They couldn't help but look at each other blankly, and were stunned for a moment.
Only then did he realize that one of them had already raised his sword and roared towards the sky, seeming to declare his side's victory.
Rushing over now?
Did this defeat the Han people?
It turns out that the Han people are still so vulnerable!
The Xianbei soldiers roared loudly, and their momentum reached its peak for a moment. Then, waving their swords and guns, they rushed over in a steady stream, and then rushed down from the pass on the hillside!
Under the pass, there was another Han army arrayed in formation with numerous shields.
The retreating Han soldiers walked around from both sides. The fighting just now was too fierce. Some of the retreating soldiers walked around the formation and took two steps. Their hearts relaxed and their legs and feet became weak, and then they started again.
Unable to stand, he fell to the side. Immediately some compatriots came forward to help him up and took him to the back of the formation.
The Xianbei people chased closer and closer. Turjin, who was the first, raised his voice and raised his battle ax, preparing to repeat his old trick and once again cut open the Han army's shield formation so that his men could rush into the gap and break the formation.
Turjin's roar was still echoing in the mountain road, and he saw the shields of the Han army suddenly parted, revealing two rows of Han soldiers squatting and standing behind...
Damn it!
What's this?!
Before Tulkin could react consciously, the shrill scream of the crossbow arrows had already cut through the cold mountain wind, shooting out like lightning!
The two hundred powerful crossbows assigned to Zhang Liao by Fei Qian roared at this moment!
It takes at least three months for an archer to go from being a beginner to being able to actually go on the battlefield. Then to become a marksman, he also needs to have relevant talents, otherwise he is just a qualified archer at most.
However, if you want to become a crossbowman, sorry, three days is enough. Of course, you still need talent to become a sniper crossbowman. However, in most cases, you don’t need to be so precise. You only need to know how to follow the sequence.
, open the string, set the arrow, step forward to take aim, pull down the hanging knife to shoot, then turn around and retreat to the back of the queue, and repeat this process again.
Different from the horn bows used by the cavalry, Fei Qian installed iron-arm crossbows in large quantities. The bow strings are also different from ordinary beef tendons. Instead, they are made of a variety of different wires. Therefore, they are difficult to fight against
In wet weather, it is much stronger than an ordinary bow. At this moment, we are facing Xianbei troops with leather armor or no armor...
The Xianbei people's cheers and roars were all suppressed as if they were hit by a heavy hammer!
The powerful kinetic energy coupled with the three-edged armor-piercing crossbow arrow tip can penetrate even iron armor at such a close distance, not to mention that most of these are only wearing leather robes, and a few have iron armor and leather.
The Xianbei soldiers of A are dead.
The crossbow bolt roars!
Only then did a Xianbei realize that something was wrong, but it was too late to dodge. The crossbow bolt penetrated his chest, and then came out from behind, tearing out a bloody and transparent hole, and then knocked his body back, heavily.
fell to the ground.
The moment Tulkin saw the changes in the Han army's formation, after all, he had many years of experience licking blood on the blade of a knife. He immediately realized that something was wrong, but he could no longer stop his steps. He could only pounce on the ground regardless of the image, and then
He held the battle ax in front of him and shouted: "Protect me!"
Several of Tulkin's guards quickly stepped forward with their shields raised, trying to escort Tulkin back.
"Boom! Boom!"
"Poof! Poof!"
Although the accuracy of the temporarily transferred crossbowmen is not very good, the lethality of the powerful crossbow arrows against unarmored units is really amazing. The Xianbei rushing forward are like autumn crops, being harvested piece by piece by the sickle of death.
Gone.
The shields guarded by Turkin have become the new targets of these crossbowmen. At this distance, only shields covered with iron can block the penetration of the crossbow bolts, but shields covered with a layer of cowhide cannot.
It had a very good shielding effect. Tulkin's shield-wielding guards fell to death one after another under the crossbow fire, and Tulkin's figure was gradually exposed!
Tulkin's liver and gallbladder were about to burst. If God could give him a medicine to regret, he would definitely hold his big shield tightly in his hands!
No, it's not a problem with the big shield, it's that you shouldn't underestimate the enemy and pursue dangerous pursuits!
However, the current situation is irreversible. Almost instantly, Turkin has already made a judgment. At this time, he must escape from the shooting range of the crossbow in order to save his life!
The crossbow arrow screams with the breath of death! Even a shield may not be able to resist this thing, and the heavy armor on my body cannot guarantee that it can resist them all at such a close distance!
Tulkin felt the cold hairs on his neck stand up, and he quickly swayed his body from side to side, trying to avoid the crossbowman's aim. However, the crossbowman's accuracy, which was newly transferred to the Han army, was still somewhat lacking, and he failed to make two or three rounds.
If you can hit him, you will be escaped by Tulkin right away!
Zhang Liao thrust his spear into the ground, took out his own long bow, exhaled and stretched it to the extreme, and then with a loud "boom" sound, the long white eagle-feathered arrow drew an arc in the sky and sank into his breath.
The back of Elgin's neck!
Turkin suddenly froze in action, staggered a few times, and collapsed.
The arrow hit the target, and Zhang Liao was slightly startled. He had seen this big Xianbei man wearing heavy armor before, so he didn't aim at a body that was easier to hit, but he didn't expect that the arrow would hit!
This luck...
Or have you practiced more during this period and your archery skills have improved even more?
Forget it, never mind...
Zhang Liao threw the second arrow and long bow he had drawn out at Zhang Chen beside him, then picked up the spear, raised his arms, and roared up with his soldiers!
At Dry Bones Pass, the cheers of the Han army were accompanied by the chaotic sounds of panic from the Xianbei people. When they saw Zhang Liao rushing over again with his troops, the remaining Xianbei people saw Turkin's head.
He lost the courage to continue fighting, grabbed the horse next to him, turned around and ran away...
When Zhang Liao saw this, he had no intention of pursuing him. He just stood in front of Dry Bones Pass, held his spear by his side, and let out a long breath.
Behind him were the cheering soldiers of the Han army. The shouts of victory echoed in the mountains, and then rushed straight into the sky!
