On the Dangyang Bridge, Zhao Yi and his husband stood guard, setting up the Maxim heavy machine gun, just waiting to harvest human lives.

This firearm has a caliber of 7.92 mm, a range of one thousand meters, each bullet belt is equipped with 250 rounds of bullets, and the rate of fire can reach 600 rounds per minute. It is a veritable killer weapon.

In the Battle of the Somme in World War I, the German army relied on this device to inflict tons of damage on the British army. They killed more than 60,000 enemy troops in just one day and became famous in the first battle.

However, the Maxim machine gun is heavy and difficult to move. It also requires four people to operate it at the same time, which is more cumbersome.

But Zhao Yi has an advantage that no one else has. He is not afraid of slow reloading. After shooting a bullet chain, he can go back to the warehouse to change the bullets and then come out. Although he is a little tired, the life-and-death moment is also important. Don't care about that.

"This... this brother, you... why are you leaving ten of us? Even if we die, that's too few, right?"

Behind Zhao Yi, the ten soldiers he specially asked to come stood there anxiously, with "MMP" written all over their faces.

After all, who wants to die if they can live? But staying here to face Cao Cao's army, for these soldiers, what is it but death?

Zhao Yi smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, I won't let you die. Now each of you will lead a horse, tie a branch to the horse's tail, put a handsome flag on the back, and then just spin it back and forth to remove the dust." Raise them all up, don't worry about the rest. Oh, by the way, remember to plug the ears of the war horse and yourself, there will be some noise here for a while."

"Huh? Plug your ears?"

The soldiers were confused after hearing this, but as long as they were not allowed to die, everything else was easy to talk about.

Zhao Yi replicated Zhang Fei's dubious tactics in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, hoping that paired with his own Maxim machine gun, Cao Cao could retreat in spite of difficulties.

Just after everything was ready, Zhao Yi, who was lying on the ground, could clearly feel the vibrations on the ground. Cao Cao's army had arrived!

Due to Zhao Yi's performance at Changbanpo just now, when Cao Cao's army approached Dangyang Bridge, he himself was protected by three layers of soldiers inside and outside, and he was so crowded that he could not even see the road.

"Hahaha~~Ah Ma~! Why are you hiding like a turtle? Do you only rush to the front when you want to steal a wife?"

Zhao Yi laughed loudly from a distance. The generals of Cao's army were so angry that they gnashed their teeth and wanted to cut him into pieces.

"My lord! Please allow me to capture this thief! I will pull out all his teeth one by one! Don't let him talk nonsense again!"

Cao Cao was surrounded by the Chinese army and could not hear clearly what Zhao Yi was saying. He only heard someone calling his nickname, Ah Ma.

The person who volunteered was Xia Houjie, a young member of the Xiahou family. This was his first expedition with Cao Cao, and he was also eager to express himself.

At this moment, Cao Cao also wanted to try Zhao Yi again, so that he could observe closely how he performed the magic.

"Okay, that's it."

After benefiting from Cao Cao, Xia Houjie rushed forward, but he still kept some caution and let his own soldiers rush forward while he huddled in the third row.

Zhao Yi saw a group of Cao's troops split off from the camp and rushed towards him aggressively, secretly saying "Well done".

Facing the dense charge formation of Cao Jun, Zhao Yi didn't even need to aim. He only needed to point the gun at a crowded place and pull the trigger.

"Come on... get closer... get closer... OK! This is it!"

"Tu tu tu tu tu tu~!"

Under the control of Zhao Yi, the Maxim heavy machine gun instantly turned into the sickle of death, while Cao Jun's soldiers turned into wheat, being harvested quickly one after another.

The deafening gunshots frightened the cavalry who charged forward, and then they were beaten to pieces, including both men and horses.

Under the attack of this heavy weapon that transcends thousands of years of time and space, Cao Jun's soldiers were beaten to pieces without even having time to react. All the armor, breastplates, and shields were as thin as paper in front of it, and they could be destroyed with just one poke. break.

A cloud of blood mist began to spread in the air, and yellow bullets fell to the ground, making a pleasant sound.

The generals in front of Cao's army were all dumbfounded, but the horses under them were so frightened that they turned around and ran away, including Cao Cao's horses.

"Lord, be careful!"

Although he was also shocked, Xu Chu, as Cao Cao's personal bodyguard, was still very competent. He and Zhang Liao were the first to recover. They grabbed the reins of Cao Cao's horse, one on the left and the other on the right, and pulled the frightened horse to a stop.

"This... what kind of magic is this? Human life is worse than an ant in front of him!"

Cao Cao looked in the direction of Dangyang Bridge with great fear, his voice trembling.

But Xia Houjie, who was hiding behind the crowd, was even more frightened to the point of bursting with fear.

The pouring bullets tore apart the bodies of the first row of soldiers, penetrated the second row of soldiers, and even knocked the third row of soldiers off their horses.

Xia Houjie threw away the spear, covered his ears with his hands, screamed in fear, and died before the bullet entered his body.

The remaining soldiers no longer dared to move forward at this moment, and turned their horses around to flee back to the military formation.

Not only that, when Cao Cao's army faced the Maxim heavy machine gun, they subconsciously retreated for more than tens of meters, and they didn't even notice it themselves.

"Buzz~~~"

The barrel of the Maxim machine gun, which needed water cooling, burned red. Zhao Yi stopped shooting and stood up to observe his results.

"Hahaha~~~ Thief Cao! If you have the guts, come here by yourself. Your Grandpa Zhao Yi is here~~ Don't use soldiers as human shields!"

Zhao Yi hid his trembling hands behind his back and laughed loudly at Cao Cao.

In fact, after repeated battles, his physical strength was exhausted, and he finally realized what it means to "kill until you feel soft".

"hiss......"

Cao Cao was fiercely protected by Xu Chu and Zhang Liao. His face turned blue and white, as if he was having a psychological struggle.

"Lord, this monster must be eliminated! I would like to lead a thousand elite soldiers to kill him!"

Zhang Liao frowned, feeling that if Zhao Yi was left behind, he would definitely become a serious problem in the future, so he volunteered to take action in person.

Cao Cao hesitated for a while, and was about to agree, but suddenly his eyes widened.

"Wait a minute, Wen Yuan, look at the dense forest behind the bridge, are there any figures moving around?"

Zhang Liao was reminded by Cao Cao and noticed that something seemed to be shaking in the forest, and he could see obvious dust flying up.

"Lord, that seems to be a handsome flag."

"Shuai Qi? Dust... Huh, what a monster. The reason why he blocked our army alone in front of our formation was because he wanted to lure our army to rush to the bridge. When our army was about to arrive at the bridge, he hid in the forest. The captured troops will be able to fight their way out halfway."

"Master, are you saying there is an ambush?"

"Humph... Liu Bei... give me the order to retreat! The target... Jiangling!"

"Lord, this..."

Seeing Zhang Liao's unwillingness, Cao Cao pointed to the woods behind Zhao Yi and said: "It's okay that there is an ambush hidden in the woods, but Wenyuan, don't forget, there is Zhuge Kongming who is almost a demon next to Liu Bei. We have to Defend.

Moreover, our army has left Xiangyang for hundreds of miles, and there are rivers and lakes in front of it. Our soldiers are not familiar with the way of life, and the advantages of the cavalry cannot be used. If we are so alone, if there is any change in the surrendered troops in Jingzhou, something serious will happen.

What's more, Liu Bei's vitality was severely damaged in this battle and it was no longer possible. There was no need for our army to risk the pursuit. In contrast, it was better to go to Jiangling to take over Liu Biao's old troops and consolidate the security of Jingzhou. "

"Yes, my lord."

Seeing that Cao Cao had made up his mind, Zhang Liao no longer insisted.

After receiving Cao Cao's order to withdraw the troops, the army's rear formation changed to the front formation, scrambling to get away from this place.

Although they could be considered a great victory in today's battle, the shock Zhao Yi brought to Cao Jun could not dissipate for a long time.
