Chapter 780 Re-wearing the golden chain armor, double-drawn iron bows
Chapter 780: Wearing golden mail armor again, double-drawn iron bow
"Why are you still standing there! Get into formation quickly, the enemy is about to rush down the mountain!"
After a moment of astonishment, Zhuge Liang was the first to react and quickly shouted at the army who was looking blankly into the distance.
"There is no way to retreat! The retreat is too narrow. If we evacuate this place in a hurry, it will only cause greater casualties! Hold on to this place for me!"
Zhuge Liang basically made the best response he could.
Liu Bei stood up in a hurry, but as soon as he raised his head, a swift arrow flew over his head. The arrow scratched sparks on Liu Bei's helmet. Liu Bei felt the fright and his face turned pale. He turned pale and fell back into the sedan chair.
Shouts of killing, sounds of assault, and the sound of horse hooves came one after another.
The mountain plains, which were not spacious to begin with, suddenly became a mess.
On the front, the elite infantry led by Huang Zhong and directly commanded by Zhuge Liang quickly formed a formation with shields. Behind the shield wall, countless soldiers of Liu Bei's army were holding long spears in their hands, waiting for the cavalry to charge into the formation——
If nothing unexpected happens, the matter should end with a close fight between the two sides, with both sides suffering losses.
Zhuge Liang reacted quickly enough and Huang Zhong was experienced enough. Although the soldiers and horses they led did not have many cavalry, there were only scattered ones, but they were definitely experienced in dealing with cavalry.
However, as smart as Zhuge Liang was, he also made a fatal mistake at this moment.
Huang Zhong held a long sword in the army and roared with all his strength:
"Hold on! Withstand Cao Jun's first attack! It's our turn to counterattack them!"
"Roar!!"
Although the incident happened suddenly, compared with the later surrendered generals around Liu Bei, this team is definitely the most powerful one in Liu Bei's army——
"No! That's not the case!!"
Who knew that Zhuge Liang's sudden hasty shout made everyone extremely stunned.
Huang Zhong turned around in confusion, only to see Zhuge Liang standing on the temporary high platform, scratching the edge and pointing into the distance with his mouth open.
After following Liu Bei for such a period of time, Huang Zhong has gained a lot of respect for Zhuge Liang. He knows that Zhuge Liang has great talents and is very willing to obey his orders. After all, with such a mastermind by his side, generals will feel more at ease. How reassuring it is.
But... this was probably the first time Huang Zhong saw Zhuge Liang showing such a surprised... or in other words, horrified expression.
"Military advisor! What did you see?"
"Old General Huang! Quickly shoot your arrows! You must not let the opponent rush here without any hindrance! Otherwise...otherwise!!"
"First team forward! Fire arrows!!"
Huang Zhong carried out Zhuge Liang's orders extremely quickly. However, by this time, in fact... they had missed the best opportunity.
Zhuge Liang and even Huang Zhong actually didn't feel much nervous when they first saw the cavalry rushing down the mountain.
After all, someone who has led troops in wars for so long can estimate the approximate number of people in that army at a glance.
Five thousand people?
No... maybe not even 3,000 people.
On the other hand, our own side has more than 30,000 elite infantry, and they all have rich experience in dealing with cavalry.
All joking aside, if Zhuge Liang hadn't told him to stop, Huang Zhong, who hadn't seen the whole cavalry army, still thought that he might be able to annihilate the cavalry army in one fell swoop——
And the fact is-
When the cavalryman, whose speed was so exaggerated that it would be impossible to see clearly if he couldn't turn his head in response to the opponent's movements, turned into a stream of shadow, rushing out like a tide in the narrow and dense forest road.
Liu Beijun's defeat was doomed.
"not good!"
"You must hold them back for me! Don't let them rush into our formation!"
Huang Zhong's eyes are about to burst.
Just because of the opponent's exaggerated speed.
If it weren't for the powerful bow and crossbow, Huang Zhong doubted that if he were among the cavalry, the arrows he fired would be caught up by him.
But the real horror can only be fully realized when the spear and shield collide without mercy.
Huang Zhong did not see clearly how the opponent defeated his first shield wall.
He only saw the broken limbs flying all over the sky due to the terrifying impact of the cavalry, with blood pouring down like rain. A heavy cavalry that should not exist in the world revealed its true form in front of mortals.
"kill!!"
From beginning to end, the only thing that came out of the other party's mouth was this cold and hair-raising word.
But the ruthless killing intent fervently swallowed up their entire stubborn army, chewing it to pieces, leaving only the remains and bones.
"The second team is also holding on! Yugu Camp! Where are the soldiers of Yugu Camp! Follow me to capture the enemy general! Defeat the enemy army!"
Of course, Huang Zhong is worthy of being the most powerful general in Changsha. He practiced martial arts at the age of forty-six. Now he is over seventy years old, but he is getting stronger with age. He suddenly stepped forward and slashed, and the long sword weighing dozens of kilograms was danced by him.
Tigers and tigers create wind, and each strike can take away the life of a cavalryman.
But... the more this happens, the more powerful he can feel the other party.
A group of infantrymen came from behind, each holding a saber in hand, and quickly approached Huang Zhong. Under his leadership, a team of a hundred or ten people rushed towards the enemy general who had defeated his own shield formation.
Enemy general——
Yes.
No matter what this terrifying cavalry was organized into, it was only conducted under the command of a cavalry commander wearing heavy black armor.
At this moment, the cavalry general was standing upright on the low slope, seeming to be the master of the battlefield, watching everything on the field.
Only Huang Zhong didn't seem to even look at it.
Huang Zhong didn't care whether he was noticed by the other party. He just wanted to resolve the crisis and kill the enemy general to boost his own morale.
"Open the way for me! I will go and get the enemy general's head!"
"yes!"
Huang Zhong let out a low roar, and the soldiers around him made up their minds. On the bloody battlefield, a battalion of soldiers steadily escorted Huang Zhong forward, even at the cost of their lives.
"madness--"
I don't know when, I heard the enemy general roaring in anger, and Huang Zhong, who was dragging his sword as he galloped all the way, frowned——
"If you want to take my head, you must first worry about whether your lord is alive until then!"
"What?!"
What shocked Huang Zhong the most was not that the other party discovered him, but that while he watched helplessly, the other party suddenly pulled out an exaggerated long bow from his horse.
In the blink of an eye, the opponent bent his bow and set an arrow, and in one go, three arrows shot through the air, directly piercing the chaotic battlefield, and shot straight towards Liu Bei at the rear of the army.
Liu Bei, who had difficulty in moving and did not get up, could only sit upright on the sedan chair, sweating nervously for his soldiers.
But in an instant, I felt a biting chill coming from nowhere.
When he looked up, he saw the inevitable arrow flying towards his eyebrows.
At that moment, Liu Bei's heart went cold.
Only later did Zhuge Liang realize that the enemy general had been targeting Liu Bei, and he did not even have time to remind the soldiers to block Liu Bei's arrows.
Seeing that Liu Bei really seemed to be dying in this ridiculous and exaggerated battle with the enemy, Huang Zhong's angry voice was particularly shocking across a distance of hundreds of feet.
"Don't hurt my lord!"
No one saw Huang Zhong draw his bow, but they saw three arrows exploding one after another in the air on the battlefield.
He is heavily clad in golden mail and has a double-drawn iron bow. His courage frightened Hebei, and he became famous in Shuzhong.
Huang Zhong, who had reached the pinnacle of archery skills, took the initiative at such a critical moment, raised his bow, and hit three arrows in a row, crushing several powerful arrows that threatened Liu Bei.
