Because it was early in the morning and the sky was just getting dark, although some battlefield conditions could be seen clearly, the field of vision was not really that good.
In addition, in mountainous areas in winter, there is more or less fog in the early morning. Although we are lucky today, the fog is not heavy, but it also blocks the observation of sight.
Therefore, Zhang He really didn't recognize that the person commanding the defense at the entrance of Dachangji was Feng Xi.
At first glance, the two of them were not too familiar. They had fought twice and had seen each other from a distance on the battlefield.
Secondly, Zhang He could not have imagined that Feng Xi, a great general, would actually become the commander of a force with only 500 soldiers.
After all, Feng Xi was a general commanding thousands of troops just two days ago. Why did he suddenly start working as a captain today? !
Zhang He just felt that the "school lieutenant" who dispatched the Shu army's defense at the entrance had some skills. If he continued to dispatch like this, it would definitely slow down his attack speed.
Therefore, Zhang He stared closely at the whereabouts of this "camp captain" and thought about how to kill this guy first.
It's a pity that it's not bright yet and there is still a little fog, so the field of vision is not very good. Otherwise, Zhang He would have already set up his bow and arrow to sneak attack the "school captain" with one arrow.
But even so, Zhang He had no intention of just continuing to let it go.
After the soldiers moved away the Jumu antlers for a certain distance under the rain of arrows, Zhang He couldn't help it anymore, and directly led more than a hundred soldiers, using himself as an arrow, to launch a surprise attack at the entrance of Dachangji.
Although there is still a little bit of wood and antlers blocking the way at the entrance of Dachangji, this distance is no longer suitable for bows and arrows to show their power. It is a good time for soldiers to launch an assault.
Zhang He wanted to kill the "school captain" as soon as possible and completely disrupt the defensive arrangements of the Shu army in Dachang.
Although he could not devote all his troops to fight at once, Zhang He had confidence in himself and also believed that as long as he killed the captain, the entire Shu army in Dachangji would definitely collapse quickly because there was no one to control it.
Zhang He's goal is very clear, he is going to Feng Xi.
As for Feng Xi, to be honest, Feng Xi didn't recognize that the person who led the raid on Dachangji was Zhang He.
In addition to the obstruction of sight caused by the same light and fog, the factor that most affected Feng Xi's judgment was Zhang He's identity.
This kind of surprise attack with more than a hundred people is what the captain should do. Zhang He is the commander of the first army. Feng Xi never expected that this man would personally lead the troops into the battle.
But if you want to say that Feng Xi was careless because of this, that's not true.
Feng Xi didn't know that Zhang He personally led the troops to attack, but to Feng Xi, the current situation made little difference whether Zhang He personally led the troops or not.
Feng Xi knew very well what state his soldiers were in. They had not slept all day and night, and were in a state of exhaustion, without much combat effectiveness at all.
Being able to barely drag here is considered a sign of good training.
Therefore, when the Wei army marched with their antlers drawn, Feng Xi really did not dare to let his infantry take the initiative to attack the Wei army.
That would not only fail to stop the enemy, but may also affect the suppression of your own archers, although your own archers cannot suppress them in the true sense.
With only twenty archers shooting arrows, the sparse arrows could suppress the Wei army's attack.
But at least it has the effect of harassment, preventing Wei Jun from easily removing the antlers, which can delay it for a while.
Therefore, Feng Xi also knew that if he did this, sooner or later the Wei army would get closer to the entrance of Dachangji, but Feng Xi was just stalling for time.
No matter what, as time went by, Wei Jun almost moved the antlers and got closer and closer. Feng Xi also had to have a response plan. He couldn't give up the entrance so easily and retreat to the inside of the market.
Although it is stalling for time, the morale of the army is low. If the important entrance is easily abandoned, it will also be a blow to the morale of the army.
Then Feng Xi saw a Wei army commando team of about a hundred people and began to launch a surprise attack at the entrance where he was.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet.
Even Feng Xi also set his sights on the "Colonel" of the Wei army who led the charge. As long as the opponent's "arrow" is broken, the charge can be easily solved.
At this point, Feng Xi was really sure that the enemy's army would be defeated by sending a low-level military attache at the rank of captain to charge into the battle. As a general, with his martial arts skills in battlefield fighting, could he not be able to defeat a captain? !
When he thought of this, Feng Xi tightened the sword in his hand and went forward with his own personal guards as the vanguard and more than a hundred soldiers posted at the entrance.
The two parties, each with their leader as the "arrow", quickly collided on the battlefield.
The first attack was undoubtedly Zhang He's battle with Feng Xi.
Feng Xi slashed Zhang He's neck with one blow, but he didn't use all his strength. After all, he was just a captain, and he couldn't sit in this position without any ability.
Feng Xi is also a person who has been on the battlefield for a long time. He knows that the most taboo thing in fighting on the battlefield is to attack with all his strength. If you miss a hit with all your strength, you will have to wait for death.
Sure enough, facing Feng Xi's attack, the enemy captain held a short gun and opened Feng Xi's knife with one shot. Then he stabbed Feng Xi straight into the chest.
If he hadn't retained his strength, Feng Xi would have fully explained it. Fortunately, Feng Xi had retained his strength and dodged, and the general avoided the stab.
Then, both of them froze a little.
The soldiers around them had begun to strangle each other, and Feng Xi and Zhang He felt a little solemn now.
First of all, I was shocked by the opponent's martial arts. How could a small captain actually have such martial arts? !
This was a common surprise for both of them.
But now that the distance is so close, even if the light is not strong, both parties can clearly see who the other party is.
Zhang He may not have had much of an impression. After all, Zhang He didn't pay much attention to Feng Xi. At most, he felt that the person in front of him looked familiar.
But Feng Xi is different. It would be strange for Feng Xi to forget Zhang He's face.
Feng Xi was first surprised that Zhang He actually led the attack in person, but then, Feng Xi reacted and immediately raised his sword again and attacked Zhang He again.
If Zhang He could be killed here, all the problems would be solved. Such a great opportunity would be a pity to miss it.
Zhang He didn't pay much attention to Feng Xi's sudden attack. After all, in terms of battlefield experience, Zhang He had much more experience than Feng Xi. Especially in such chaotic battles, Zhang He had seen too much.
But... as he continued to fight, Zhang He suddenly felt that he seemed to be a little out of his depth.
Well, it's not about how high Feng Xi's force value is. There are many reasons that led to such a situation.
First, the most serious problem: Zhang He is already over fifty this year, while Feng Xi is only in his early thirties.
There is an age difference of nearly twenty years between the two parties.
This is not a world of martial arts. There is a setting that the older you get, the deeper your internal strength becomes. On the real battlefield, it is a situation where "fists are afraid of the young". The combat effectiveness in the prime of life is stronger than that in old age.
Even though Zhang He's martial arts is superior to Feng Xi's, he is old and his strength is not as strong as before. Feng Xi is in his prime and at the peak of his martial arts.
Secondly, Zhang He's weapon is a gun, while Feng Xi's weapon is a knife.
These days, those who play guns are basically skill players, not strength.
In this strange era, power players generally play with knives. For the more powerful ones like Lu Bu, if someone uses Fang Tian to draw a halberd, it is just a matter of history. Power players also use Ma Shan.
Those who use guns are generally skilled players, and Zhang He is like this.
Usually during battles, Zhang He would fight on horseback. In this way, when facing some powerful players, Zhang He could rely on the impact of the horse to make up for his lack of strength, and then use his skills to win. But now, Zhang He did not ride a horse.
Carrying out a sneak attack over mountains and ridges, the mountain road is difficult for even a person to walk on, how can he still bring a war horse with him? !
In addition, this sneak attack was carried out in a chaotic battle with infantry. Zhang He even replaced the long spear he usually used with a short gun suitable for a chaotic battle environment. The main focus was to win with skill and move forward and retreat freely.
Originally, Zhang He didn't think there was anything wrong. With his martial arts and battlefield experience, he could easily win against a small Shu army "Colonel". But who knew that there was actually a general commanding him on the other side? .
Well, even if the other party was also a general, Zhang He still didn't care too much.
Military generals these days have varying command abilities and varying levels of martial arts. Zhang He still has confidence in himself. The reputation gained through decades of battles is not just a matter of luck. It is truly gained from a mountain of corpses and a sea of fire. Killed out.
But as he fought, Zhang He found that he seemed to be at a disadvantage in terms of strength.
Feng Xi is really a strong player, a serious swordsman, and he is in his prime and has plenty of strength.
In this kind of chaotic fighting environment, skilled players don't have enough space to move around, and power players have a natural advantage. Even if Feng Xi's martial arts is indeed not as good as Zhang He, he can still gain the upper hand temporarily by relying on his strength.
As for Zhang He, he is older and his strength is not as strong as when he was in his prime. This is because the infantry is fighting in a chaotic battle, there is no horsepower bonus, and they still use short guns. Although short guns are suitable for chaotic battles, they are not the long guns that Zhang He is accustomed to. .
Although Zhang He could still rely on his rich fighting experience and martial arts skills to block Feng Xi, for a while Zhang He really had no choice but to passively parry Feng Xi's fierce fighting.
At this time, Feng Xi was also very anxious.
However, after fighting in person, Feng Xi found that Zhang He, a famous general, was not so terrible in terms of martial arts. At least he could suppress him now.
If the fight continues, Feng Xi even has the illusion that he might really be able to achieve an "epic achievement", such as killing Zhang He in a formation, but what's the use of him having the advantage? The soldiers around him , had begun to be unable to withstand the Wei army's attack, and began to retreat steadily.
Of course, Feng Xi knew that his soldiers were inferior to the Wei army in terms of combat effectiveness, but Feng Xi did not expect that they would be defeated so quickly.
The impact of a night without sleep was greater than Feng Xi imagined.
Feng Xi can continue to suppress Zhang He, but what's the use? !
Before he officially killed Zhang He, all his soldiers had probably fled!
At that time, it was not a question of whether he could kill Zhang He, but a question of whether he would be completely surrounded by the Wei army.
