Chapter 363 Zhang Fei: Which One Is It? No Way to Retreat?

Wei Yan was the first to sound the attack horn.

Just between Sishi and noon, Cao Jun's Dangkou Village, located between Danqu and Bamieng Mountain, was attacked.

The Shu army suddenly rushed out, as if falling from the sky, like an evil tiger attacking a sheep, rushing into the stronghold.

They were already ready to attack, slashing and killing with knives like crazy...

Cao Jun in Dangkou Village...

No one could have imagined that here, half an hour after the army had launched its attack, when the people who had migrated there were rioting and about to mutiny, there was no room for it, and the situation was extremely critical...

The Shu army actually appeared!

The Shu army actually raided their Dangkou village!

When they came to their senses, the gate of the village had been broken through. They had just raised their weapons and wanted to resist... but they had been stabbed in the back mercilessly by the people behind them.

There is no trace of mercy in the eyes of these fools!

It is true that the Five Pecks of Rice Sect once preached in Bazhong and brainwashed the local people. It proposed karma, clarified the heart, and cultivated the spiritual realm, which just catered to the souls of the people who could not rest in troubled times!

Among the Jin people tribe, leaders such as the Sanbayi chiefs "Du Yi (hu four tones)", "Pu Hu", and "Yuan Yue" led their people to attach themselves to Cao Wei.

There was even a man named Li Hu among them, who was the great-grandfather of the later Emperor Li Xiong of the "Cheng Han Dynasty". He also brought more than 500 families to seek refuge with Cao Cao.

It seems that Cao Wei succeeded in winning over this tribe of tribesmen because of the Five Pecks of Rice Cult, but... the actual situation is far from true... not all the tribesmen were brainwashed by the Five Pecks of Rice Cult!

The current situation in Danqu is that the Jin tribe is falling apart. Some are attached to Cao Cao, some remain neutral, and some support Liu Bei.

Originally, more of them were still waiting and watching...

But Cao Cao was too impatient, and Xia Houyuan was too impatient. Zhang He led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to break into their homes, plundered their food and grass... and even moved them all to Hanzhong.

This is an old tradition of Cao Wei...

And these people, on the surface they dare not act rashly due to the Wei army's power, but in their hearts they have already sided with Liu Bei...

These people are extremely resistant to Cao Wei...

Originally, because of Cao Wei's military strength, they did not dare to act rashly, but now... there are only 500 people left in Dangkou Village, and they are already resisting and rioting.

The siege of the Shu army brought by Wei Yan was just right.

They joined forces with the Jin people and quickly defeated Cao Wei's defenders, disemboweling them one by one.

The entire battle lasted only a quarter of an hour. In a hanging building, Wei Yan was covered in blood and walked up the wooden ladder with heavy steps.

On the second floor, a general from Cao Wei was injured and was holding the floor with one hand. Several Shu soldiers and several Shi people were pointing at him. The Shi people were still shouting: "That's him. His name is Du Yi, and he is a traitor to our tribe." , Thief Cao’s lackey...helped Thief Cao move into our tribe, he is a bad person!”

Wei Yan had done some homework, and Du Yi's name was not unfamiliar to him. At this moment, he narrowed his eyes and stared at him.

"Are you Du Yi, the leader of the Jin tribe?"

While talking, Wei Yan also took the portrait handed to him by his subordinates. The Shu Han Dynasty had a special painter who painted all the famous figures in Bashu for easy identification.

It's just... there seems to be something wrong with Du Yi in the portrait. He has triangular eyes, a flat nose, buck teeth... and a vicious scar on his face.

But the man in front of him looked quite handsome, like a gentle scholar, without the rugged look of a man.

this…

Wei Yan blinked and was thinking in his mind.

Unexpectedly, the man spoke directly, "I am the leader of the Jin people, and I am also Du Yi... There is no need to admit it anymore, I am already your prisoner! But... the two Generals Xiahou and General Zhang will definitely come to rescue me. !”

"Haha..." Wei Yan laughed loudly, sticking out his tongue and licking his lips, revealing a fierce look, and opened his mouth boldly: "You are still pointing at them to save you? Haha... or not soon, you can We met in my Shu army camp, but I don’t know whether your two Generals Xiahou and General Zhang are dead or alive..."

Having said this, Wei Yan waved his hand, "Tie them up, take them down, and then... pass on my military order. All officers and men should not stop. All soldiers and horses should leave the city and ambush outside the city gate! This battle is not over yet!"

Speaking of this, Wei Yan remembered Zhang Fei's overall deployment and conquered Dangshi. This was the beginning...

Immediately, he raised his voice a bit and opened his mouth loudly.

"Next, wait for the big fish to come online!"

At this moment, Wei Yan suddenly had more confidence in Zhang Fei's overall plan!

There was only one line in his mind:

——"This wing virtue is actually quite reliable!" 』

…

…

The Bameng Mountains are steep and densely wooded. Zhang He led an army and killed them from above. He looked around vigilantly from time to time.

Zhang Fei was riding on his horse and saw Wei Jun approaching from afar. He squinted his eyes and saw the flag with the word "Zhang" on it. He laughed happily and immediately winked at Lei Tong beside him.

Lei Tong led hundreds of cavalry to meet Zhang He. Across the antlers, Lei Tong pointed at Zhang He and asked loudly: "Who is coming? Where is Zhang He?"

Zhang He saw Lei Tong and sarcastically said: "What? A young general is here? Where is your General Zhang? Are you still sleeping in the tent and daydreaming?"

Zhang He was not surprised when Lei Tong led his troops to resist...

If Zhang He can deploy his scouting horses at the foot of Bameng Mountain, Zhang Fei's army will surely also deploy their scouting horses on the mountain. After rushing down from Bameng Mountain, at least a quarter of an hour later, the Shu army's scouting horses must have reported first.

It would be weird if there was no precaution at all, and that would make Zhang He afraid to move forward!

certainly.

Zhang He didn't care about this, what he cared about was...as long as Zhang Fei was still drunk, he would be 100% sure of this battle.

Of course, Zhang He still showed his alert side. He pointed at Lei Tong: "I am Zhang He? You are not my opponent, let you General Zhang come? I will fight him for a hundred rounds, otherwise, our Wei army will rush into the battle immediately , your military stronghold was destroyed in an instant! The stronghold was destroyed and everyone died!"

Even though countless spies came to report, even though it was already certain that Zhang Fei was drunk and unconscious, Zhang He still had to use words to provoke him...

Zhang He is too cunning.

In his opinion, if Zhang Fei was awake, with his temperament, he would have come out to meet the enemy with his Zhangba Snake Spear.

Zhang He has a hundred evil intentions hidden in his belly!

At this time, Zhang Bao galloped out on horseback, "You traitors, why do you need my father? I, Zhang Bao, can capture you!"

Zhang He sneered and thought to himself:

"Zhang Bao has already gone to war?" Haha, then most likely... Zhang Fei is really drunk! 』

To ensure nothing went wrong, Zhang He took up his gun and fought Zhang Bao for three or four rounds...

Zhang Bao was defeated and winked at Lei Tong behind him, "Quickly retreat!"

Zhang He thrust his spear forward, "Chasing——"

"All the troops, catch up with them——"

For a moment, the morale of the Wei army was greatly boosted. Countless soldiers and horses shouted and chased after them... But when they reached the front of the military stronghold, Zhang Bao and Lei Tong's soldiers and horses all entered the stronghold. The infantry was quickly covered with antlers and horses!

Zhang He laughed loudly, "Can you stop my great Wei Xiaoqi with just a few horses? All the troops, charge for me——"

Another order...

But this time, before the Wei army could rush in, countless crossbow bolts burst out from the front...

A crossbow fired ten shots, and hundreds of crossbows burst out simultaneously. The crossbow arrows were densely packed like locusts crossing the border, covering the sky and the earth, and shot down Zhang He's cavalry in an instant.

Zhang He was surprised, "Is it a Liannu?"

That's right, it's the Liannu!

This one comes from Jingzhou, from Huang Laoxie... no, it comes from the Liannu of Guan Lin, the fourth son of the Guan family. Its reputation is resounding throughout Cao Wei.

The number of General Cao Wei who died on this crossbow could not be counted on one hand;

Which of the legions who died on this crossbow was not famous?

It is precisely because this repeating crossbow is so famous.

Zhang He, no, is now the general of Cao Wei. Whenever he leads troops to fight, he will definitely be prepared... Beware of Lian Nu at any time!

"Shield formation, shield formation..."

Immediately Zhang He gave a loud order, and in just an instant, countless shield soldiers from the Chinese army quickly passed over the cavalry, raised their square shields, and formed two rows...

Thousands of crossbow bolts all landed on the shield. Although it could still kill a small number of Cao's soldiers and horses, the lethality was reduced too much and it was not fatal.

Zhang He couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

——"What a Zhang Fei, even though he was drunk, he still deployed this crossbow formation and this ambush... It's a pity that he missed me in the end!" I didn’t expect that I was already prepared! 』

Thinking of this, Zhang He was quite embarrassed...

The more difficulties he encounters during this attack on the stronghold, the more reassured Zhang He is. He is proficient in the art of "smart changes" and is never afraid of known means. What he worries about is the sudden attack by Guan Lin in Jingzhou. An attack similar to that "burning can"!

It was the unknown attack that made Zhang He afraid!

"Commanders, hold your repeating crossbows and attack forward——"

Zhang He commanded calmly and methodically, watching the Wei army approach the enemy's stronghold step by step.

at this time…

"Kill..."

"kill…"

In the distance, you can hear the thundering sound coming from the entrance of Bameng Mountain, and you can see in the distance...the flying sand and rocks on the other side, as if tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are coming, heading towards the rear of Zhang Fei's camp.

Zhang He knew that they were the soldiers and horses of the two Xiahou generals.

"Hahahaha..." Zhang He immediately mocked: "Our reinforcements from the Wei Dynasty have arrived, and you have no way to retreat. Accept the surrender as soon as possible!"

Without Zhang Fei, in this situation, Zhang He felt that he could celebrate the victory in advance.

Never thought that at this moment...

All the crossbowmen in front of Zhang He got out of the way. From behind the crossbowmen, a group of cavalry jumped out. The leader was a big man eight feet long, with a leopard head and eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard...

But not Zhang Fei? Who else could it be?

At this moment, Zhang Fei was leading the way, holding a snake spear eight feet tall in front of his chest, and roaring like a huge thunder, roaring like thousands of horses galloping out, - "Which one is it? Is there no way to retreat?"

Zhang He was startled. Suddenly, shouts rang out from the trees on both sides. Countless ambush soldiers came out of the forest. Feather arrows, repeating crossbows, and boulders fell one after another. The sidecar formations were arranged one after another...

At this time, the Wei soldiers were frightened, their horses neighed, and they screamed in agony.

Looking back at Zhang He, all his confidence and courage fell to the bottom the moment he saw Zhang Fei...

He was startled at first, then trembling all over, and finally he was afraid... Huge worry quickly filled his whole body.

It is no exaggeration to say that when he witnessed Zhang Fei's current state, he was not drunk, he was majestic, and there was an awe-inspiring chill in the eight-foot-long snake spear in his hand.

At this moment, Zhang He had realized a serious problem.

Zhang Fei is not drunk!

Fake, all fake...

Zhang Fei was deceiving him!

Immediately, Zhang He shouted: "Retreat quickly, retreat quickly!"

He quickly ran back with the remaining soldiers, heading towards Mount Bahmeng... But he ran fast, and the cavalry ran fast, but those shield soldiers and infantry suffered.

Countless people were killed by falling trees, boulders, and crossbow bolts, and countless others were trampled on themselves.

On the other hand, Zhang Fei pointed his eight-foot-long snake spear at Zhang He and said proudly: "Zhang Fei is here, rat Zhang He, please quickly dismount and surrender, I will spare your life!"

Zhang He looked at Zhang Fei in despair, and then at Lei Tong and Zhang Bao who were about to approach him... He cursed loudly: "Zhang Fei, how dare you bluff me?"

Zhang Fei, however, mockingly chanted to him: "You don't understand the four words "war is never tired of deceit, so you are a bullshit general!"

A soldier never tires of deceit...

These four words are nothing at all, but when they come out of Zhang Fei's mouth, they are completely different.

Zhang Bao and Lei Tong have already arrived, and Zhang He is about to be stopped...Han Hao beside him quickly draws his sword to fight...blocking the two shots of Zhang Bao and Lei Tong for Zhang He...

"General Zhang, leave quickly, I'll come to the rear—"

Zhang He looked deeply at Han Hao, and with a cruel heart, he led the cavalry in a roaring retreat.

Han Hao was the opponent of Zhang Bao and Lei Tong, but after four or five rounds, Han Hao was defeated steadily.

Zhang Bao knew his high righteousness and did not kill him. He just tried to persuade him: "Is the traitor Cao worthy of your life?"

Han Hao said with emotion: "General Xiahou is a favor to me, and he fought to the death for him... Although he died with no regrets..."

He noticed that Zhang He and Wei Jun had run away, and he also noticed that the soldiers and horses in charge of the rear around him were almost dead, and even his own sword was destroyed.

Han Hao immediately pulled out the sword from his waist, and Zhang Bao smiled coldly, holding up his snake spear and preparing to continue fighting with him.

Unexpectedly... Han Hao's sword actually cut across his neck, and then he fell off the horse, making a heavy sound... At this time, Zhang Bao couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

Lei Tong also noticed that Zhang He had fled far away because of these "dead soldiers" in the rear, so he got off his horse and walked in front of Han Hao. He sighed with regret: "Cao Wei has such good generals and loyal ministers. It's a pity..."

Zhang Bao nodded, but soon he raised his head, looked at Zhang He's fleeing back, and said with emotion: "It's a pity that Zhang He was never captured!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Bao became a little suspicious, and he quickly asked: "Where is my father?"

yes…

Zhang Fei seemed to have missed something just now, otherwise...if he had charged up, how could Han Hao have been able to withstand a round? Naturally...Zhang He would not have escaped and ascended to heaven!

"Where's my dad?" Zhang Bao looked around...still couldn't find Zhang Fei.

Lei Tong quickly explained: "Young general, please be patient. The three generals are fine... It's just that from the very beginning, the three generals set up ambushes in Bameng Mountain, one in front and one behind! After retreating Zhang He, He also killed the Marquis of Xia..."

ah…

Zhang Bao's eyes were so wide that they were about to burst.

All I was thinking was - "My father... can he still lay two ambushes?" This, this, this...is he more than enlightened? It’s just... open... open..."

The words were in his head, but Zhang Bao couldn't think of words that could describe his mood at the moment, nor could he describe his father.

Perhaps more accurately, it should be "It's cheating!"

Lei Tong, on the other hand, took a deep breath, looked around the battlefield, and said with emotion: "General Zhang said that Zhang He was trapped in Bamieng Mountain. He was just a trapped beast. He couldn't escape. The goal this time is actually It’s Cao Jun’s Dangkou Village, it’s Xiahou Shang, Xiahou De, it’s Danqu... it’s Sanba!”

Speaking of which... Lei Tong's tone was filled with deep admiration.

He is the one who best understands Mr. Zhang’s overall arrangements.

It is precisely because of this that he has deep admiration for this third general who is rumored to be "reckless" and "brave and foolhardy". He deeply admires his resourcefulness, his layout, his heart, and his mind!

or…

It can be heavier, I am deeply impressed!

…

…

Jingzhou, Xiangyang City.

Guan Lin was sitting alone in his study, meditating.

In fact, today is the day when Huang Zhong, Huang Yueying, and Xia Houjuan arrive in Jiangling. Guan Lin is in Xiangyang City, so there is no need to go to greet them.

On the contrary... Zhang Xingcai has already left, which suddenly leaves Guan Lin with less of a polished lady.

Normally, Zhang Xingcai didn't feel anything bad when he was around. Now it seems... I feel a little empty in my heart.

certainly…

The void is only temporary, Guan Lin is meditating on "Bow" at the moment!

That's right, it's a bow, the "bow" of bows and arrows!

Speaking of which, in the Three Kingdoms, there were many masters of bows. If Guan Lin were to be ranked in the top ten, from lowest to highest, they would be Jiang Wei. This guy could catch the arrows shot by Guo Huai, and then kill Guan Lin. shoot to death;

Then there is Wei Yan, in the Battle of Hanzhong, this guy can shoot out two big teeth of Cao Cao;

Further ahead is Shamoko who shot Gan Ning in the forehead with an arrow, Gan Ning who shot Ling Cao, Huang Zu, and Cai Xun, and wounded Le Jin. It was Xu Huang, Guan Xing, and Zhao Yun!

But in terms of the strongest bow skills, there are undoubtedly three - Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, and Tai Shi Ci!

Lu Bu is good at shooting halberds at the gate, Huang Zhong is good at crossing a poplar with a hundred steps, Taishi Ci is good at shooting with his ape-arm...

However, now that both Lu Bu and Tai Shi Ci are in decline, the one who is second to none in bow skills in this world can only be Huang Zhong.

Because of this, Guan Lin thought, if Huang Zhong's good bow skills were matched with a "good bow" that transcended this era, wouldn't it be even more powerful and the icing on the cake!

Wouldn't that bring infinite possibilities to Shuhan!

So... Guan Lin planned to give Huang Zhong a strong bow.

Of course, Guan Lin also has other goals, and they are all from the Shu Han camp. This old man Huang is one of the Five Tiger Generals, and he fought with his father Guan Gong in Changsha...

Guan Lin still wanted to have a good relationship with the old general.

To put it bluntly, if Huang Zhong's archery skills can be matched with a good bow, then there will be one more way of fighting and one more possibility on the entire battlefield!

Therefore, Guan Lin has been thinking about the production of this "good bow" for several days.

Speaking of bows, the most convenient thing about them compared to crossbows is their flexibility. For example, the range of the "continuous crossbow" is too short, while the range of the "quzhang crossbow" is long, but it requires the use of waist and legs, and it needs to be carried out in units of crossbow arrays. Kill the enemy!

When it comes to flexibility, it cannot be compared with a bow.

After all, the bow...is still flexible, can shoot far, and has a combination of range and flexibility. It can adjust its position at will, making it easier to catch everyone by surprise and take the lead!

Of course, these are all theories…

If he really wanted to draw a drawing of this bow, Guan Lin would inevitably have to take into account several great divine bows in history,

For example, Lu Bu’s Dragon Tongue Bow;

For example, Xue Rengui’s Sky-shattering Bow;

For example, Xiang Yu’s Overlord Bow weighing more than 100 kilograms!

"If it's a bow..."

After meditating for a long time, Guan Linba smacked his lips and muttered to himself, "There are only two biggest weaknesses of the bow. One is that the hit rate is restricted by the distance. The farther the distance, the harder it is to hit. The second is that the distance is too large. Far away, the lethality will also be reduced... As the saying goes, the final force of a strong crossbow cannot penetrate Lu Tao!"

Guan Lin learned physics and knew that this was the effect of resistance. In addition... the long-range hit rate had to be combined with factors such as wind direction.

This raises a brand new problem. Even if it is a compound bow that can store more energy, Guan Lin's original intention in designing this bow was to prioritize distance or power!

or…

Suddenly, Guan Lin thought of a kind of bow. He pursed his lips and murmured: "It seems that there is such a kind of bow that can allow distance and power to exist at the same time!"

For a moment, Guan Lin recalled that Genghis Khan, a generation of genius, recorded such a story in his stone tablet.

In 1225, the Mongols held a "Nadam" conference in Bukhasuqihai.

Among them, "Yixiang Ge", the son of Genghis Khan's younger brother, shot a distance of 500 meters with a specially designed "Mongolian bow".

And even if it's five hundred meters away...the power is still there!

This is the Mongolian compound bow…

Considering that when the Mongols conquered the European continent, they faced various armored bodies of the European legions...the penetrating power of the Mongolian compound bow must also be extremely terrifying!

Think so...

If this "Mongolian compound bow" could be made, wouldn't it mean taking someone's head from a mile away?

Isn't this a bit of Huang Zhong's cheating, a bit like "passing through a young man with a hundred steps" and "hit the mark"!

That's right, it's this feeling of "one arrow kills a Japanese enemy eight hundred miles away"!

Very magical, very magical feeling!

Thinking of this, Guan Lin already had an idea.

"Range, penetration, power, accuracy... It seems that it has to be a Mongolian compound bow that can penetrate Eurasia——"

…
