"Boom -" An arrow flashed with fire, falling like a red star in the dark environment, accelerating twice in mid-air. It was obviously shot in front of the formation, but it spanned a thousand meters and struck straight into the chest.
His miraculous archery skills caused Cao Hong to misjudge his two dodges. There was a howling sound and the firelight illuminated his surprised and puzzled face. He tried hard, only to hear a "pounce", and fell off the horse, which made him dizzy.
white
This is one thousand two hundred steps away... How could there be such an arrow?
The three magicians were all scared - according to earthly standards, no matter how greedy Cao Hong was for money, he had reached the fourth level of Qi training. He was proficient in swords and bows, but how could he not dodge an arrow?
Before the red trajectory dissipated, the leading magician Mingwu shouted: "It is a refined magic arrow, a refined magic arrow shot by a Kyudo martial artist."
Kyudo, this is a rare type of martial arts that can restrain magicians, and cannot be matched by a few low-level magicians.
"Hurry in, we have just used up all the Taoist magic, and now there is no Taoist magic to resist" shouted, several magicians were so frightened that they could not take care of the general Cao Hong. They were only looking after the people on earth, and at this time they were only trying to get rid of them themselves.
Slow down, turn around and ride towards Wubaoli.
Seeing past the frozen and dull soldiers, the warning signs of death in my heart could not be eradicated.
Just listen to "boom boom boom" three times in succession, and the arrows roar through the air. The three magicians barely send out a defensive spell. Just listen to several "puff puffs", the protective shield is broken, and the powerful
The impact caused all three people to fall off their horses.
"Save me quickly"
"No, don't step on me..."
He was only injured when he fell to the ground, but when the struggling Taoist priest looked back, he saw densely packed human feet and horse hooves. This was the chaos caused by their escape.
The next moment, countless feet stepped on it, and blood spattered out.
Although the cost of magic arrows made by Taoism is high, in the hands of generals in the archery channel, they are simply soul-chasing weapons, especially for low-level magicians. The continuous arrow shooting is like a plug-in with no casting interval at all.
The power of the four arrows was so frightening that everyone in Cao's army turned pale. At this time, the ground rumbled and shook. A thousand light cavalry rushed within 500 meters, raising their hand crossbows and shooting.
"Wind - strong wind -" The arrows were like heavy rain and strong wind, covering the sky and flooding the night sky.
The hand crossbow itself is not known for its power, and the accuracy of mounted shooting is even worse. The cavalry can only fire one round within 500 meters under a high-speed charge. For regular soldiers who have been trained and familiar with crossbows, as long as they dare to stand still, they can actually kill
Not much
However, these Qingzhou soldiers were all transformed from rogue bandits. They were neither familiar with bows nor had the courage to dodge without hesitation. They immediately caused a large area of chaos and caused many casualties.
Lacking the organization of non-commissioned officers at the grassroots level, when Cao Hong fell, the entire army lost its command. When the personal guards grabbed their generals and retreated, they were in good order. The Qingzhou soldiers were already in chaos, and everyone was fighting and huddled together at the gap in the wall.
They all want to fight for their lives and sell their companions to the enemy, but the slowdown effect has not dissipated, and they are all as clumsy and ridiculous as ducks.
Some became anxious and directly chopped down the companions blocking their way out, causing people to cry and howl.
It's like a farce. It's hard to believe that these locusts invaded the country, passing through every inch of grass, and nearly overturned Xuzhou.
"Lower the bow——"
Huang Zhong roared, then put away his bow and replaced it with a broadsword. At the same time, the large group of red-armored cavalry put away their crossbows, put down the spears erected on the special side pockets on the saddle, and drove their horses past the accompanying military magician who was in a state of exhaustion of mana.
The military line between the two armies was less than 100 meters away. The Ye family magicians were at such a dangerous distance that their hearts were raised.
Large-scale concealment, gain, and debuff are all expensive spells, and this is the fifth round of casting by the magician today - with the red armored light cavalry, they have been attacking from morning to night, rushing to kill the Qingzhou bandits.
He didn't have much time to recover his mana, so he took the initiative to retreat into a team of guards specially equipped for him.
In the underground timeline, wars are frequent and intense, Yuzhou controls resources ten times more than above ground, and the magicians it trains are generally one level higher than above ground. It is normal for even fourth-level magicians to appear - it is not difficult for real people to appear.
Generally speaking, you have to wait until the next round, which is the final round.
However, the cultivation level of the casual cultivators Ye Qing recruited on the ground was relatively low, and they were the priority targets for protection on the underground battlefield - and the enemy's priority target for attack. In the first few rounds of sneak attacks, magician battles broke out, and murderous intent was everywhere.
It's just that the Qingzhou soldiers may have followed the general to feel safe. They once robbed, but now they are escaping. Even the three military magicians who followed him did not fight back until they died.
Huang Zhong stabilized the charging formation of the cavalry, and secretly cried out for luck: "As my lord expected, thieves are just thieves. How can we change the nature of thieves? Birds of a feather flock together, and people fall into groups. Cao Cao's magicians are most afraid of death..."
The remaining two low-level magicians took action to support the front row of cavalry. They flashed sharp eyes and lightness. The torrent of red-armored cavalry had leveled their spears - this was not the seven-meter-long heavy infantry of the Qin and Han Dynasties.
, and even the ten-meter spear formation used against the cavalry is only a five-meter "short spear".
At the top of the disposable hardwood pole, the steel spearhead flashed in a row of cold light, drowning the Qingzhou soldiers in chaos. The first layer of defense collapsed directly, and only the sound of impact into flesh, the sound of the spear shaft breaking, and the sound of men and horses clashing could be heard.
They were all veterans who were skilled in battle. They abandoned their spears and picked up long knives in an instant, formed a small team, and began to kill in an organized manner. Blood was flowing, and heads were flying.
There were also dozens of fierce bandits roaring and fighting back, but they were still brave enough. How could they withstand four or five long knives blocking and greeting them at the same time?
Even if you try your best to slash at the red armored cavalry, you still have to cut a mark on the red paper armor - the strongest laminated paper armor is the least afraid of cutting, followed by arrows and then spears, which have little defensive effect on heavy armored soldiers.
However, heavy armor consumes a lot of materials and is not enough to arm his direct lineage. Would Cao Cao be willing to equip these cannon fodder Qingzhou soldiers with heavy armor?
On the other hand, there are some guys who are armed with wooden sticks - large hardwood clubs, or even wooden spiked maces - who can use heavy troops and are very powerful and can pose a huge threat.
But precisely because of this, he died the quickest when Huang Zhong and Archer called him urgently.
The sorcerer who fell behind turned away from the killing and stared into the void. He saw the military aura of the two armies. The red energy was burning and sweeping, and the black energy was disintegrating.
In fact, this is also the case. It is not a matter of quality at all. It can show its quantity in a large-scale confrontation. It did not collapse immediately in a small-scale attack. It is a sign that the Qingzhou soldiers have a bit of a rebellious spirit.
"Look, it's Liu Shijun who has come to rescue us under the banner of Liu Shijun——"
As the red-armored cavalry rushed into Wubao, the domestic soldiers who were still holding on in some defensive strongholds, most of the professional warriors died in the battle, but a few armored swordsmen shouted loudly.
He seemed to be a scholar who had studied here while traveling, but his swordsmanship was not bad, and his last bit of resistance immediately boosted the morale of the soldiers.
Together with the remaining common people who were still alive, everyone mustered up the courage to fight back: "Kill all the thieves"
When Cao Hong woke up and saw this, he vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted again. The guards cowered and gritted their teeth to resist. The Qingzhou soldiers were in chaos. They did not have the courage to fight to protect their families. They suffered a lot of casualties. The blood in their eyes dimmed like a wolf. One
His face is earth-colored.
"Please general, please kill all these jackals." The scholars roared, and the people around them roared, their eyes blood red with hatred: "Kill them all"
"Surround them and leave no one behind," Huang Zhong ordered solemnly. Seeing these Qingzhou troops shouting for resistance, he looked back at a magician who was accompanying the army.
The spiritual power in the magician's hand gathered together, collapsed, and turned into a dazzling light under the night. It pierced people's eyes like the sun and dazzled all the thieves for a moment.
"shoot"
The cavalrymen had already prepared and switched to hand crossbows. They shot down and killed for a while. At this time, their horse power recovered a little and they charged forward again with their swords.
Huang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. Under the torch, he looked calm and ordered coldly: "The cavalry will seal this place. All Qingzhou soldiers will be killed one by one. No one is allowed to go out."
The "killing" red fire was ignited, and there was a tragic howl, which was horrifying. Huang Zhong was bathed in the blood-red fire and remained motionless.
The sound of killing gradually subsided, and soon they were all killed, leaving only Cao Hong, who was escorted over.
"Hmph, pick out the tendons and tie them up," Huang Zhong sneered.
"No...you don't have to die...ah" Cao Hong screamed, and even the human magician on the ground was dumbfounded: "This seems too...too much"
"Too much? Look," Huang Zhong pointed not far away. He saw that the head of the family had been killed in the battle, but there were still a few nephews and two or three soldiers who came to thank him.
Some women cried and bowed down from a distance, some were disheveled, and supported each other, which made people look pitiful.
This Wubao was seriously damaged, but fortunately it arrived in time and was not destroyed. It is still a good station for troops and supply stations.
Although the red-armored cavalry were elite, they were exhausted at this point in the battle. They cleaned the battlefield and arranged to rest after the meal.
The aftermath was left to the local government, which was a benefit of getting the support of the local people. Moreover, since the Wubao here was destroyed, Huang Zhong persuaded them to move to Tancheng. Whether they listened or not was their own business.
All the captured armor, weapons, and cavalry were useless and looked down upon, so Huang Zhong sold them to this Wubao at a low price as planned: "You can equip them to fight against Cao's thieves."
The sons and nephews were all overjoyed. The traveling scholars looked at each other and said nothing at the moment. They turned around and talked privately: "So it turns out... every time we go to a village like Wubao, the local anti-Cao forces are connected like beads.
"This elite cavalry's red energy soaring into the sky is unusual, but the key is that it still serves as a tough red thread. As long as the local anti-Cao forces are not wiped out, the Qingzhou soldiers can continue to lose blood."
"Tsk, tsk, Commander Liu made a good plan... to preserve the strength that dared to resist Cao's army, and to kill each other with the Qingzhou soldiers. From then on, Xuzhou hated Cao and was close to Liu..."
"It cannot be just a conspiracy theory. This traitor Cao is acting rebelliously in Xuzhou. It is really the anger of both humans and gods. Liu Shijun is a benevolent gentleman and he is just following the will of the people and God."
"My dear friend, what you said is very true, but I was wrong..."
He was stationed in Wubao and arranged to be on duty in the middle of the night. Nothing happened all night.
The next morning, Huang Zhong asked about the local situation. Just as he was preparing to set off, he heard a magician student arrive: "The general's interrogation shows that General Zhou is surrounded by Cao's army in the south. Please support the general."
This is a newly established Taoist academy recruiting local students in Yuzhou. Those who can be put into military internships at this time are all outstanding ones. Most of them have some magic skills themselves, but lack system guidance and combat practice. There will be no mistakes in reporting information.
.
"Let's go..." Huang Zhong said for a moment, then looked at the magician accompanying the army: "Can the Taoist Master still persist?"
The general in front of him was already half way through the process. The magician did not dare to support him and said, "I have rested, and there is no serious problem."
"Okay, the whole army listens to the order and turns south——"
