Lu Bu was greatly surprised by Pang De's appearance, not because of the appearance of the man in front of him, but because of the power of the sword in his hand, which was unparalleled by ordinary people.
Experts will know when they make a move. In Lu Bu's opinion, Pound's methods are indeed quite impressive. Just with the sword strike just now, Lu Bu felt that he was only better than Ma Chao.
Pang De was a captain under Ma Teng at that time. Within a few years of joining the army, he made many military exploits under Ma Teng and was promoted to captain within a short time.
Originally, he was under Ma Teng's command. As time went by, he would definitely be able to assume the position of Ma Teng's right-hand man. However, it was a pity that in the battle of Chang'an that year, Ma Teng was severely beaten by Cao Cao and lost all his troops.
, even Pang De was captured alive by Cao Cao and became a fierce general under his command.
It's a pity that one of the few good talents under Ma Teng took advantage of Cao Cao.
When Ma Chao saw Pang De, he felt very upset, but now he was really holding back. It would be too much of a disadvantage for him to continue fighting with Lu Bu.
Ma Chao had no choice but to retreat towards the inner formation of his Heaven and Earth Three Talents Formation.
Pang De immediately took out his hand and fought with Lu Bu.
Lu Bu had fought Ma Chao for a while, and now he was fighting Pound again. He was somewhat weak, but he had a strong nature and was unwilling to retreat. He gritted his teeth and fought hard with Pound.
Zhao Yun was directing the soldiers from the rear to charge into the formation, and at the same time he was sweating for Lu Bu.
Zhao Yun is also a martial artist. He understands Lu Bu's current mood, but he also has confidence in Lu Bu's abilities.
For now, all he needs to do is make arrangements for Lu Bu.
Not only Lu Bu, but also Xu Chu and Dian Wei, A Fei and Zhang Fei, Xu Huang and Guan Yu and others have already turned against each other.
Among them, the most eye-catching pair of warriors fighting against each other was Xia Houyuan and Huang Zhong.
The two men and their generals were at the southeastern corner of the formation, where there was not much change in formation, so they both placed their troops and horses in place and did not move.
Both of them used shield soldiers as the vanguard and crossbowmen as the rear. They were arranged in a corner of the battlefield and fired at each other continuously.
Some of the soldiers and horses under Huang Zhong's command were armed with bows and others with repeating crossbows, but strangely, some of the soldiers of Xiahou Yuan's army on the opposite side also used repeating crossbows.
Huang Zhong's soldiers asked Huang Zhong: "General Huang, the last time General Zhao fought against Liu Bei, the Jingzhou Army under his command had continuous crossbows. Why does Cao's army also have continuous crossbows now?"
Huang Zhong laughed and said: "What's there to wonder about? Jinling's continuous crossbow has been powerful in the world for many years and has been used in many battles. It's no longer a secret. Although Jinling tried their best to keep the design method of the repeated crossbow secret, the prime minister once said that in this world,
There is nothing that cannot be imitated. It has been so long since the Jinling Repeating Crossbow was born, and it has only been imitated by others. It is already slow."
The deputy general nodded in understanding.
Huang Zhong added: "Besides, our repeating crossbows are equipped with ten batteries. Although Cao Liu's repeating crossbows can also fire continuously, they are only five or six batteries. This technology is still inferior to ours. The imitation is just an imitation."
, can’t get on the stage.”
Before Huang Zhong finished speaking, sharp arrows roared from the opposite side, passing through the side of Huang Zhong's face and piercing the shield of a large shield soldier behind him, making a heavy muffled sound.
The shield soldier failed to stand firm and fell heavily to the ground.
"Protect General Huang!"
"Cover General Huang!"
There was a commotion among the soldiers under Huang Zhong's command, and they all hurriedly came to Huang Zhong to protect him from the arrows.
The scene just now was too dangerous.
Huang Zhong didn't take it seriously. He stretched out his hand to push away the guards protecting him, and looked at the formation on the opposite side with interest.
According to his calculations, the place he was in belonged to his own rear formation, and it was impossible for the opponent to send his arrow to this distance.
But the opponent did hit it! And the force was so strong, it seemed that he was a master of archery.
Huang Zhong looked from the direction where the arrow came from, but he could vaguely see clearly a general in blue robes and bronze armor in the opponent's formation, standing there without hiding anything, demonstrating toward this side.
If your guess is correct, that person should be Xia Houyuan.
Huang Zhong smiled and nodded: "He is a character."
The lieutenant behind him swallowed lightly and whispered: "How much strength does it take and how many stone bows does it take to shoot here?"
Huang Zhong said lightly: "Probably a three-stone bow or a four-stone bow."
"Ah?" When the deputy general heard this, he couldn't close his mouth.
He had heard of people who could shoot four-stone bows, but he had only heard about them, but he had never seen them.
What kind of heavenly being is that?
The deputy general's expression fell into Huang Zhong's eyes.
He smiled nonchalantly and said, "Bring me my five-stone bow!"
"Ah?" When the deputy general heard Huang Zhong's words, he staggered and almost fell off his horse.
He wants to shoot a five-stone bow? Is this old man kidding? He has old arms and legs.
"General, don't make trouble. The two armies are in front of the formation, but it's hard to act out of emotion!"
Huang Zhong laughed loudly: "Don't worry, I have lived for more than fifty years and never do anything like bluffing. Since I let you get it, I naturally have some confidence."
After a while, the soldiers brought the five-stone bow.
Five-stone bows are rarer than two-stone bows, not because they cannot be pulled, but because the materials for making such powerful bowstrings were very scarce in this era.
The so-called five stones do not refer to the weight of the bow, but the pulling force and shooting force of the bow string.
Huang Zhong picked up the bow, stretched his arm, squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of Xia Houyuan, and then ordered someone to take the specially made arrow.
The five-stone bow has a very strong drawing force, and the arrows used are naturally not ordinary arrows.
Huang Zhong pulled the five-stone bow hard, aimed at Xia Houyuan on the opposite side, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the sharp arrow shot out from Huang Zhong's hand quickly and whizzing towards the opposite military formation with an extremely terrifying momentum.
When the arrow rushed towards him, Xia Houyuan couldn't help but be shocked.
He quickly turned over and managed to avoid the sharp arrow in Huang Zhong's hand, but his speed of dodging was still a little slow.
The sharp arrow finally scratched his cheek, and blood instantly flowed out of Xia Houyuan's face.
"This, this..." Xia Houyuan didn't know whether he was frightened or angry, and he felt a little awkward when speaking.
The surrounding guards rushed over.
"General, how are you?"
"General!"
Xia Houyuan reached out and pushed the guards aside: "Get out of my way!"
Then, Xia Houyuan was seen looking fiercely at the figure in golden armor holding a bow in the military formation opposite, gritting his teeth and saying: "Old Huang Zhong, just wait for me!"
…
The war below the city was in full swing, and the pottery merchants observed the situation below on the city, and from time to time listened to reports from the school affairs office about the surrounding situation.
Unlike the pottery merchant, Guo Jia was in the city gate tower, looking at the map carefully and muttering doubtfully: "There must be something wrong with this. There must be something I didn't expect. There must be something else."
