Chen Cheng did not carry a sword or shield, nor did he use a spear. Instead, he rushed up with Fang Tian's painted halberd. Compared to ordinary people, Fang Tian's painted halberd was not easy to use and could easily be snatched away.
But is Chen Cheng an ordinary person? It certainly can’t be considered that anymore.
He covered his head with a heavy and thick closed helmet, leaving only a slit for his eyes to observe the surrounding situation. The breath he exhaled hit the steel visor and turned into warm water vapor, and his entire face suddenly felt
It became moist. The eight-foot-two body was 1.95 meters tall. With the helmet on, it was already two meters tall.
He was covered in heavy iron armor, with gauntlets on his arms, greaves on his legs, and iron leggings made of steel. The whole person looked like a cast iron man.
More than a dozen bodyguard soldiers, led by Wei Ran, followed Chen Cheng with shields in hand. Other bodyguard cavalrymen held three- to four-meter long spears. Behind them, Zhang Heng led the black armored army and followed suit.
More than 4,000 people pressed forward, blocking the road. They trotted forward, like a black cloud. Occasionally, soldiers who broke down ran into the advancing battle formation and were quickly hacked to death.
On Huangbei Mountain, Wang Dang looked at the dark heavy armored soldiers on the road, and his face became more and more ugly. He took a deep breath and said loudly: "This is Zhang Heng's black armored army. The Xiliang thieves are just trapped beasts still fighting! As long as
If we can hold on to this wave, we will win!"
Yes, judging from the desperate momentum of the Xiliang Army, this is their strongest and last fierce attack. As long as this wave can be defended, the Xiliang Army will no longer have the morale to launch the next wave of attacks.
Chen Cheng was carrying Fang Tian's painted halberd, walking like a tiger and a dragon, surrounded by hundreds of attendants, and followed by thousands of troops and horses. Although the total equipment on his body weighed almost 150 kilograms, he was still very fast.
His thick and powerful long legs stepped out, and each step could cover a distance of more than one and a half meters. His movements were so fast that others had to jog all the way to keep up with his speed.
A burly soldier without a long weapon followed closely behind Chen Cheng, holding a large flag. On the red flag, there was a big word "Chen" embroidered on it. Dozens of guards or soldiers
Holding a sword and shield, or holding a spear, they trotted while shouting loudly, "The lord is out of battle!"
The shouts became louder and louder, and the already tired Xiliang soldiers turned their heads and looked over after hearing the words. Chen Cheng was now covered in steel, and even the most familiar people would not be able to recognize it, but that battle flag was that of a human being.
You can tell it. Even if you are illiterate, Chinese characters are hieroglyphs, so there is no problem if you treat them as pictures. Seeing this flag appear, the tired soldiers also cheered.
Many Qiang people shouted loudly: "Master Chen is out in battle!"
These descendants of the Yan and Huang people, who come from the same lineage as the Han people, are still in the primitive tribal system. They do not know etiquette and education. Like many Hu people and Di Yi, they worship warriors and heroes and despise the weak. When they saw Chen Cheng leading his troops into battle, they
The low morale was revived.
There were also many people who raised their arms vigorously and shouted the names of "Flying General" and "Mighty General".
Amidst the cheers, Chen Cheng started to run. He was eight feet tall, with long hands and long legs, and his running speed was much faster than ordinary people. With every step he took, his speed became faster. The Han army on the barrier saw this scene
, many officers felt nervous and shouted: "Shoot him to death!"
Hundreds of bows and crossbows were opened and fired at Chen Cheng. The strong wind blew against his face and the arrows rained down like rain. Chen Cheng just pretended that they didn't exist. The arrows kept falling, damaging the armor on his body even more. Before, Chen Cheng
It was full of arrows, and he finally pulled them out. At this time, as he moved forward quickly, there were more arrows on his body.
Beside him, arrows fell on everyone's heads equally. From time to time, there was a dull hum, but some soldiers were shot through the armor by arrows. But they all lowered their heads, and the arrows
It is difficult to hit vital points, so even if several people are shot several times, they can still follow one charge.
About to rush to the bottom of the barrier, Wei Ran and his comrades beside him shouted: "Get out of the way!"
After hearing this, the Xiliang army moved further away and gave way to the attack. Thirty steps, twenty steps, ten steps, Wei Ran and several guards and soldiers rushed towards the Han army's barrier. They stepped on the ground.
The corpse rushed under the barrier, and then raised the heavy shield.
Chen Cheng took a step forward and stepped on the back of a deceased person. The iron leggings hit the armor, and his heavy body jumped up. Then he stepped on the thick shield. The thick iron man had already stepped on it in the next moment.
Barrier. He ignored the spear thrust into his chest, twisted his waist, and swept across with Fang Tian's painted halberd in both hands.
The tip of the spear pierced the iron armor, spattering sparks, but failed to pierce. The spear slid to the side, steel rubbing against steel, making a fiery sound. Then the wind blew loudly, and the bright crescent moon glowed with a golden light.
Yun Heng slashed over. Two nearby Han soldiers were hit by halberd poles and fell from the barrier screaming. The crescent moon flashed past the neck of a Han archer, and his head was immediately thrown upward.
Chen Cheng stood firm on the barrier and felt confident. He held the Fangtian Painted Halberd in both hands and slashed horizontally again. Seeing that the situation was not good, a commander of the Han Army quickly threw away his Huanshou knife and grabbed the shield with both hands.
Blocking the body, the bright golden crescent moon struck the skinned shield, making a dull sound.
The captain was shocked, and the shield in his hand made an overwhelming "click" sound, and then broke apart, but it was not broken after all. But although the shield could withstand the resistance, his people seemed to be being rushed.
The wild horse hit him, and he was sent flying from the barrier.
Chen Cheng let out an unknown laugh behind his thick visor. His breathing became heavy, making the small space in the helmet even more moist. Every attack he made was with all his strength, and there was no feint or attack at all.
It is a move to lure the enemy. Every swing, every slash and every assassination are all powerful and heavy. Even if the enemy can block it, the center of gravity of the body will be destroyed, and then he will be killed by the next move, or simply
Fell under the barrier.
The crescent moon with a burning golden halo kept lighting up, and not long after, a large distance had been cleared on the barrier. The bodyguards followed Chen Cheng, climbing up the barrier one after another and participating in the fierce battle.
go.
On Huangbei Mountain, Wang Dang saw how the barrier was lost. He yelled, then stood up suddenly from his horse and shouted: "Tune two more tunes immediately... No, put the four tunes of infantry
Mobilize all the reinforcements! Mobilize all the crossbowmen as well!"
He shouted loudly: "Order the cavalry to mount their horses and stand by. If the infantry is defeated, let the cavalry step forward and charge into the battle!"
Wang Dang is a brave general who has experienced battles for a long time. Naturally, he knows how terrifying the elite soldiers led by a strong general can be in a battle. He turned around, looked among the crowd, and then said to Liu Rong: "
I'll leave this place to your command, and I'll lead the troops down!"
Liu Rong shouted loudly: "General, how can you move lightly? Just let me lead the troops down!"
Wang Dang said: "I'm afraid you are no match for Chen Cheng!"
Liu Rong's eyes widened angrily and he shouted: "If you can't win, you should raise your head and come to see me!"
Wang Dang looked at Liu Rong's distraught look, reached out and slapped him heavily on the shoulder, and said, "Then I'll leave it to you!"
He sat back on the horse and watched nervously the battle at the foot of the mountain. The people at the foot of the mountain raised their horses and neighed, shouting and screaming, and the sound of gold and iron continued to come up. Amidst the flash of swords, the enemy general's flag was always there.
Moving forward, Wang Dang's heart became heavier and heavier. He knew well that the danger of going deep alone this time was either a big victory or a big defeat.
If the people at the foot of the mountain were breached, not only would the Xiliang bandits escape, but most of the people on the mountain would also suffer losses.
Wang Dang squeezed the riding crop in his hand hard and shouted in his heart: Liu Rong, Liu Rong, don't let me down!
While launching a desperate assault at the foot of the mountain, the Xiliang Army also stepped up its attack on Huangbei Mountain. Ma Teng and Cheng Yi each took down hundreds of infantrymen and shooters, and were launching a strong attack on the mountain. This attack was no longer like before.
In that way, it was a diversionary attack, but it hit him head-on with a ferocious momentum.
The bows and crossbows on the mountain fired in unison, killing many Xiliang troops on the way to the charge, but they only slowed down the Xiliang troops' charge slightly, rather than repelling them.
Wang Dang first withdrew his gaze from the bottom of the mountain and focused it on the attacking enemy troops here. He thought to himself: Ever since Chen Shijun came, the momentum of the Xiliang army has completely changed. This man is really the enemy of the imperial court!
His feelings for Chen Cheng changed again and again. As the awe in his heart continued to increase, the title also kept changing, from the bandit leader and enemy chief to Chen Cheng, and then from calling him by his first name to calling him Chen Cheng even in his heart.
envoy,
There was a fierce battle up and down the mountain, and suddenly a sad cry came out, "General Liu Rong died in the battle!"
Wang Dang's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly looked down the mountain. He saw that one of his own flags had fallen down, while the enemy's flag was firmly planted on the wall. He was furious and stood up suddenly.
, thought to himself: I am afraid that I will suffer something today, but no matter what, I must kill Chen Shijun!
He shouted to the left and right: "General Zuo has been kind to us for a long time. He has sacrificed his life for righteousness, and now it's time for him!"
I had seen Chen Cheng's unparalleled marksmanship and peerless bravery before, and then saw him smash through the barrier with an unstoppable attitude. The Han soldiers on the mountain were originally terrified, but when they heard Wang Dang's loud shouts, they couldn't help but
They were all shocked and thought to themselves: Yes, for General Zuo, so what if he died in battle today?
Hundreds of cavalrymen got on their horses, and the infantrymen also grasped the weapons in their hands and shouted together: "Please give the order, general!"
Wang Dang also jumped on the horse, raised his spear, and loudly ordered: "Follow me!"
He was a brave general in the army, and he was also resourceful. Otherwise, Huangfu Song would not have sent him alone deep into the enemy's rear. At this time, he was determined to die and his courage doubled. The war horses roared down Huangbei Mountain, although there were several horses in the mountain road.
The horse's legs were broken, but the cavalry with great strides still rushed down with Wang Dang.
Wang Dang's sharp eyes saw Chen Cheng who was killing everyone in his own army formation, and his blood couldn't help but surge up. He kicked Ma Du hard to make the mount under his crotch go faster, faster!
Wang Dang shouted: "Chen Cheng!"
Amidst the thunderous roar, the tip of the spear reflected the brilliance of the sun and stabbed towards the target ahead.
Chen Cheng wore a heavy closed helmet on his head. Not only was his field of vision greatly restricted, but the sound that reached his ears was also weakened a lot. He was just about to kill, but by the time he noticed the enemy cavalry charging towards him, it was already too late to dodge.
.
But fighting is a waste of each other's lives, so why avoid it?
The spear came through the air with a whistling sound, and Chen Cheng didn't dodge. He turned around, grabbed the tail of Fang Tian's painted halberd with his left hand, and swept over!
