Chapter 2914 The prince is resisting and his arrows are drawn.
Hitchhiking, this is almost the skill that the armed herdsmen are most proud of, but now they feel pain on their faces.
Most herdsmen have been dealing with horses all their lives. Many herdsmen can even do somersaults on the horse without a saddle. As for hiding in the belly of the horse, picking flowers with flying hooves, standing on its head, etc., these herdsmen can do it. Complete, like Zhang Liao and others who can maneuver and turn at high speeds, many armed herdsmen can also do the same.
But if one person does it, the effect is completely different if it is done with a thousand people. When the number of people increases, it becomes more difficult to cooperate with each other.
??When the Western Region Allied Forces attack the military stronghold, what is the maximum number of cooperations in one wave?
About five hundred people.
??It is not impossible to increase it upwards, but it will not be able to be precisely controlled. It is just like the Western Region Allied Forces did well when they feigned an attack before, but when they really wanted to take action later, they were in a hurry and created obstacles for themselves.
??The coordinated and unified riding skills displayed by the Han people now made almost all the Western Region coalition forces re-evaluate the weight of the Han army in their hearts.
??If Lu Bu had clearly demonstrated what power was and the aesthetics of violence in the Western Regions before, then what Zhang Liao brought to the table was incisively and vividly in terms of technique. Thousands of people are deflecting almost at the same time, shifting the center of gravity of the body, and helping the war horse to turn. In this process, no cavalry is allowed to make mistakes, because once it occurs, it will cause a chain reaction, which may cause more subsequent cavalry mistakes, and the horse will be turned upside down. , that’s not an exclamation, but a joke.
The Kucha people watched helplessly as the Han people bypassed them and headed towards the other Western Region coalition forces. Some Kucha people anxiously wanted to follow the Han people in turning, but as soon as they started to deflect, they collided with each other. In the end, they could only watch the Han people march away. The feeling of powerlessness rising involuntarily in their hearts made the morale that the Kucha people had finally built up suddenly feel as if a basin of ice water had been poured on them. The fanatical mood also dropped.
Originally, when they saw the Kucha people going to intercept the Han people, some troops from the Western Region Allied Forces began to gather. However, the array of these Western Region Allied Forces did not have enough time. When they found that the Kucha people could not stop the Han people''s horseshoes, It''s already too late.
Some people stayed where they were, while others set off before the assembly was complete, creating chaos.
?Zhang Liao led the Han army''s iron cavalry and crashed directly into the fragile defense lines of the Western Region coalition forces. For a moment, people were turned upside down, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
They are coming! Coming! Damn it! Stop dawdling! Even those who are not wearing armor should stand in line! Taksa jumped to her feet and almost shouted at the top of her voice, "Get ready to fight!" If that guy dares to retreat, I will kill him! I will definitely kill him! I swear! 』
?Although everyone knows that not wearing armor and not having a complete defense system will lead to a significant decrease in defense power, it is still better than no defense at all.
??If Taksa had the time to turn his head and look at his direct soldiers at this time, he would find some self-proclaimed brave guys under a suit of iron armor, holding long spears that were shaking slightly...
The frequency is the same as Taxa''s own calf.
The Han army''s cavalry were still advancing madly. The Western Regions Allied Forces were like a huge piece of meat, being cut open and bleeding with hemoglobin.
In the ranks of the Han army, Zhang Liao was in a relatively forward position, but not at the front.
This is different from Lu Bu''s habits.
I don’t know whether it’s because Lu Bu prides himself on being unparalleled in martial arts, or because the Red Rabbit Horse also likes to be the king of horses in the front. Anyway, as long as Lu Bu goes into battle, Lu Bu must be at the front, and Lu Bu will also wear extremely cool battle clothes. Armor, carry the unique Fang Tian painted halberd...
Zhang Liao, on the other hand, wears armor that looks no different from ordinary cavalry at first glance. Only when you get closer can you find some differences in details, such as being more refined and stronger. At the same time, Zhang Liao will not be on the front line, but will leave himself some room to react. Just like during the current attack, Zhang Liao will also encounter obstacles from some elite Western Region coalition forces.
Zhang Liao immediately discovered that there were more than ten cavalrymen galloping in front of them. The pace of the horses and men was exactly the same. They were obviously the elite warriors of the Western Region Allied Forces. One of them had a cold light like fish scales dancing on his body.
Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes slightly.
??It''s not because of the cold light that dazzles the eyes, but because this person looks at him through his armor. Even if he is not a high-ranking military academy member of the Kushan Army, he should at least be a big leader of a country in the Western Regions.
Therefore, he should be killed.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides passed each other, and the sound of swords and guns clashing with each other was heard continuously. There were few people on the other side and they did not dare to charge forcefully. They just relied on their martial arts and armor to invade the Han ranks.
Zhang Liao slung his spear behind him and clamped his legs tightly. The horse felt pain, so it sped up a bit and jumped forward, like a soldier who was eager to escape from the fighting area...
The fighting instinct is sometimes very useful, but sometimes it can kill people.
If Zhang Liao had done nothing, it is impossible to say that these people would not have paid attention to Zhang Liao when they passed by. But now Zhang Liao''s actions were invisibly different from other Han soldiers, and they immediately attracted these people who came to rush. Their attention shifted from the other Han soldiers on the side to Zhang Liao.
Just like a hunting dog’s instinct to chase fleeing prey.
??The elite warriors of the Western Regions shouted something, whether it was a curse or a greeting, but they directly aimed a spear at Zhang Liao!
From the perspective of the elite warriors of the Western Regions, the Han cavalry, who seemed to have lost their weapons, was undoubtedly the weakest point in the entire queue. It was also the easiest vulnerability to break and could cause a chain reaction!
??As long as Zhang Liao is killed, when Zhang Liao falls, it is possible that the Han cavalry behind him will be tripped, which will slow down the entire formation of the Han cavalry...
But just when the elite warriors of the Western Regions stabbed at Zhang Liao, using old tricks, Zhang Liao''s body suddenly twisted. The moment he missed the tip of the opponent''s spear, he burst out with amazing skill and strength, and the spear came from behind. It jumped up like a giant python and flew through the air. The sharp blade cut open the body of the elite warriors of the Western Region at high speed, making an extremely shrill sound. Wherever it touched, the skin and flesh were torn open and blood and flesh flew everywhere!
Zhang Liao''s spear continued to attack, pointing directly at the Western Region general wearing scale armor!
??In the blood mist that filled the sky, the Western Region general obviously didn''t expect that his guard would be instantly killed by Zhang Liao with one move, but he obviously didn''t take it too seriously. After all, life and death are possible on the battlefield. He was looking for Zhang Liao, but the Han cavalry in front of him all looked the same, and there didn''t seem to be much difference...
?With such thoughts, the Western Region general subconsciously used a wrought iron rod to seal it directly.
But the next moment, the expected "clang" sound did not appear. Immediately, the Western Region general''s heart tightened suddenly, and then his eyes went straight. A large amount of blood spurted out from his neck, and he fell upside down. After dismounting, one leg was still hanging on the horse''s back, and he was dragged along the ground by the war horse.
¥#@@! 』
?The few remaining elite warriors from the Western Regions shouted something loudly, seemingly calling the names of the dead Western Region generals.
??Zhang Liao glanced briefly, then shook his spear, hid himself in the queue again, and continued to rush forward towards the defense line of Taksa''s central formation banner.
Because the general from the Western Regions who came to intercept Zhang Liao without even thinking of his name was suddenly killed, the other soldiers from the Western Regions who followed also lost their command and stopped in panic, shouting something that Zhang Liao could not understand. The words seemed to be asking each other something, and their expressions were frightened and uneasy...
It’s a pity that we still have few soldiers and horses.
Zhang Liao sighed slightly.
???If there were twice as many men and horses, Zhang Liao would not hesitate to divide them into two groups, cutting from two directions like scissors, cutting off the flesh and blood of the Western Region Allied Forces piece by piece!
?However, this matter is helpless.
?Taksa has Taksa’s problems, and Zhang Liao also has Zhang Liao’s difficulties.
??Although Zhang Liao was not an expert at transferring internal conflicts to the outside, he still understood the fluctuations and changes in the relationships and emotions between soldiers very well.
The soldiers and horses in Xihai City originally suffered a setback and their morale dropped once when they returned. Then Zhang Liao and others came to have a conflict with Lu Bu. After that, Lu Bu left violently, which caused the unstable mood of the soldiers in Xihai City. , almost pushed to the edge of the cliff!
The safest way is, of course, to wait for the hussar general’s backup.
Although this will cause the soldiers in the army camp to become completely abandoned.
??Although Menghua should have had this awareness when he went to the military camp...
But Zhang Liao didn''t want this.
He felt that too many things had been abandoned in the Western Regions. If even the dignity and friendship of soldiers were abandoned, what would be left in the end?
The requirements of the soldiers at the bottom are really not many. Ordinary people are afraid of injury and death, but these soldiers at the bottom devote their lives without reservation, just to get meritorious service, to get the meager hope of changing themselves and their next generation, even if most of them People can die.
For this little bit of hope, these soldiers in the Western Regions received obviously unfair treatment. They were deprived of military pay, money and food, and were even made difficult and beaten in various ways. They were ridden on the head by those fat-bellied officials. , I still endured it.
Because these people still feel there is hope.
Have hope, so we can endure.
?Zhang Liao couldn''t bear to let this hope be shattered...
So he would rather take more risks himself and take the soldiers of Xihai City around.
Even if it is possible to die.
Every time you go to the battlefield, anyone may die.
?Either died from the opponent''s sword or gun, or died from an iron nail, a plague, or a mosquito.
??But after walking around in such a circle, most of the soldiers in Xihai City not only have old achievements from before, but also new achievements now!
?? Meng Hua took them, Han Guo took them, and Zhang Liao took them. Together, the three of them accounted for almost all the Han soldiers in Xihai City. Even if the old military achievements of these ordinary soldiers are affected due to Lu Bu''s fault, at least their achievements after Zhang Liao''s arrival will be guaranteed!
Zhang Liao made a promise to the ordinary soldiers of Xihai City, so he must fulfill it. Although he felt that the hussars should not be so heartless, he could not guarantee that the risk was even greater than going to the battlefield. It was higher.
Even if Fei Qian is soft-hearted, will there still be people shouting loudly in Sanfu, Chang''an and other places, taking this opportunity to suppress military meritorious nobles like Lu Bu and Zhang Liao?
Who asked Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others to become officials without studying and being "certified and crowned" by them?
?These civil servants were suppressed before, now they can find an opportunity to give them a good blow.
Even though Hussar had promised that there would be no problem, allowing Zhang Liao to come to the Western Regions with peace of mind, didn''t Zhang Liao at that time think that as long as he came to persuade Lu Bu, he would probably be able to persuade him?
?Zhang Liao did not dare to bet on others, he could only bet on himself.
At least, let these ordinary soldiers, after experiencing the darkness of the Western Region, still have some light in their eyes...
At least, let these soldiers who obeyed the orders and left their hometowns, risking their lives for the hussar and the big man, still have some hope in their hearts...
Rather than being tossed aside like a used toilet seat, a soiled rag, or an old broom.
If it really becomes like this, then the next time the Western Region Allied Forces or the Allied Forces from somewhere come again, how many soldiers will bravely stand up, face the enemy''s swords and guns, and use the blood in their chests to build the walls of the Han family? ?
Zhang Liao''s eyes became sharper. Although Lu Bu could no longer stay in the Western Regions, even Zhang Liao himself knew that he could not stay either. However, as long as some of the heroic blood of the Han Dynasty was left in the Western Regions, some of them were left behind. The expectations of the soldiers leave some hope that their efforts will be rewarded, so that the big man can continue to live in this land and the flag will not fall!
?The sound of horse hooves and the rolling yellow sand.
In the blink of an eye, the situation changed again.
The driven Shanshan people did not receive the order from Taksa''s messenger, but they instinctively fled towards Taksa. Just like a child who is beaten will definitely go to an adult.
?Of course, Taksa''s face turned green when he saw the Shanshan people coming, "Get away!" These **** bastards! Don''t come here! Don''t let them come! 』
?Taksa roared at the top of his lungs, but it had no effect. He immediately ordered his men to stop the Shanshan people from approaching.
Arrow! Archery! 』
‘Shoot out all your arrows! 』
『Stop it! stop! 』
The chaotic and noisy orders came one after another, the chaotic arrows were scattered forward, and the roars of various accents obviously could not make the Western Region Allied Forces become monolithic immediately. These obstructions were like thorns on the road, although Occasionally it would hurt the skin and flesh, but it could not completely stop the defeat of the Shanshan people.
Like the Wusun people, the people of Shanshan are all soldiers, which means that all soldiers are civilians. The courage of soldiers is indeed magnificent when fighting with the wind, but when defeated, it is like mercury pouring down the ground. They didn''t care about Taksa''s shouts or the soldiers'' guidance, and even braved the arrows fired from Taksa''s side to bravely turn in!
Because most Shanshan people believe that as long as they run behind Taksa, Taksa will take care of everything...
??As for Taksa and others shouting to get out of the way...
What’s in the middle?
Empty, nothing?
??There seemed to be only a few sign poles stuck on the ground, with red cloth strips tied to them, fluttering in the wind...
Before the people of Shanshan could figure out what was going on, the cavalry chasing them at the front suddenly flipped over and fell to the ground. The men and horses were all bruised and bruised, with broken bones and tendons!
"trap! ” Shanshan people finally understood and howled, “Get out of the way! There is a trap in the middle! 』
However, it takes a certain amount of time to convey the warning. Even if some Shanshan people stopped or went around, the troops behind them did not know it and they still rushed towards them and crowded together. Not only did they not give way, but they even The Shanshan people thought it was safe ahead, so they rushed forward even more excitedly!
The trap originally prepared for the Han people was now tasted by the Shanshan people.
Group after group of men and horses fell into the trap, tripping more Shanshan men and horses. The horses with broken leg bones were whining on the ground, and the cavalry with broken necks were lying limply and twisted into strange shapes. After inexplicably injuring hundreds of people, Shanshan people understood what the pole tied with a red cloth strip in the open space meant...
?Zhang Liao came up with his men in pursuit. The Shanshan people who were forced to stop howled and cried, and exploded again in chaos!
The Shanshan people were blocked by a trap in front, and Zhang Liao stabbed the chrysanthemum behind them. It was so miserable...
Having been stabbed in the chrysanthemum again, will the Shanshan people have the courage to turn around and fight?
Apparently not, these Shanshan people transferred all their resentment to Taksa. If Taksa hadn''t dug some trap here, they would all have fled to a safe area by now!
It’s all Taksa’s fault!
Escape for your life!
The people of Shanshan began to divide their groups automatically and fled separately around the traps. They avoided the places with red strips of cloth on the ground, and then started to move around on both sides.
This strange phenomenon attracted Zhang Liao''s attention...
?This is the advantage of a general who is in the front-line command position, and it is also a manifestation of the ability of an excellent cavalry commander. Just like the decapitation tactic, almost everyone knows it, but only a few people can play it well and play it well.
Zhang Liao is obviously one of them.
?To complete the decapitation tactic, you must first have the courage to charge upwards, and the second step is to know when to retreat.
?Historically, Zhang Babai''s 100,000 grandsons were stabbed twice. If Zhang Liao only knew how to rush forward and didn''t know when to stop, then he might have died on the battlefield the first time.
??So when Zhang Liao discovered that there was something obviously wrong with Taksa''s array, he almost immediately issued an order to slow down his soldiers and horses, and observed...
?Taxa yelled frantically, waving his arms, "Come here!" Watch how I kick your ass! 』
??Although Zhang Liao couldn''t understand what Taksa was shouting, he seemed to understand what Taksa meant, smiled slightly, and then shook his spear...
