The rumble of horses' hooves shook the ground, making a dull drum beat, accompanied by the deep and heavy sound of drums and the clanking of iron hoofs. Such a majestic and passionate scene inspired every soldier's blood to begin to boil. The fighting spirit was strong, and this boiling His fighting spirit swelled with the charge of the war horse. When the war horse fully charged, this surging fighting spirit expanded to the point where it could not be contained, and it was vented with roars and shouts.
The sound of horse hooves, drums, and killing cries on the battlefield.
Messy yet heroic.
Zhang Hu's eyes narrowed, and he did not blink despite the strong wind sweeping across his eyes. He stared at the general Xia Houchun on the opposite side. When the high-headed war horse under his crotch led him to charge completely, the slight trace of anger at the beginning of the battle The tension has long since disappeared, replaced by a surging fighting spirit and a spirit of loyalty to gallop on the battlefield.
The war horses from both sides were approaching quickly, and the frequency of vibrations in the middle of the earth accelerated, and the stones on the ground jumped almost without touching the ground.
Xia Houchun had already done some research and knew that the general on the opposite side was Zhang Liao's son.
I heard that Zhang Liao had outstanding abilities. When Zhang Xiu proclaimed himself emperor and appointed Zhang Liao as Taiwei, he commented: The Liao has great military power, well-planned strategies, integrity, and upholding integrity. This is the ancient call for tigers! Today I saw that Zhang Liao's son Zhang Hu was very courageous in the battle and showed no fear when facing him. I couldn't help but admire him.
It is true that the tiger father has no dog son.
The spear in his hand tightened, and he built up his inner strength to aim at Zhang Hu. This was a battlefield. His mission was to lead 40,000 soldiers and horses to break out of the siege and establish the Wei Dynasty's last line of defense in Xinzheng. The effective force in his hands would determine the outcome. It cannot be consumed here.
After a while, the horses from both sides met.
Zhang Hu completely inherited Nai Weng Zhang Liao's sword skills. He was brave, fast, and powerful. He understood the subtleties of sword skills, could jump far and beyond, and had quick eyesight and quick hands. The moment the two sides approached, Zhang Hu had already gathered up enough internal energy, pushed hard on the saddle with both feet, and slashed away with his sword diagonally, fiercely and sharply.
In Xia Houchun's opinion, Zhang Hu's moves were fast and powerful but lacked skill.
This requires long-term hard practice to learn, rather than being taught. As a veteran on the battlefield for many years, Xia Houchun has a sharp eye, and he can immediately see Zhang Hu's shortcomings. In his eyes, Zhang Hu's strike was a little too early, or a little too impatient.
The blade slashed down diagonally. Xia Houchun calmly leaned back slightly. The blade slashed across Xia Houchun's chest in a perfect arc. The moment the blade bypassed him, he With a sudden force on his back, he flicked the spear and moved the dragon out of the sea. The tip of the spear stabbed towards Zhang Hu's heart with a biting wind.
There was a frightening coldness in the pit of my heart, and my heart shrank suddenly. I looked closely and saw the tip of Xia Houchun's spear stabbing towards my heart. It was fast, hard and accurate. I had accumulated too much power just now, and I couldn't retract the power of the sword when I slashed through the air. , could only watch helplessly with eyes of horror and fear.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, Zhang Hu only felt a burst of extremely strong penetrating force coming in from the chest armor. Under this huge force, he almost flew away from the horse's back. Fortunately, the saddle under his feet was around the horse's belly, and he was almost thrown away. His two feet held him back to prevent him from falling off the horse and being trampled to pieces by the horse's hooves.
"Well?"
The shot did not pierce Zhang Hu's armor. Xia Houchun was surprised and shocked. The spear he had gathered his strength to thrust out had already pierced his normal armor, but Zhang Hu's armor only pierced a small tip of the spear, and Zhang Hu suffered only a superficial wound at most.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, Dajing's equipment is so good!
If these equipments are placed on the bodies of our own soldiers, they will no longer be afraid of the attacks of Wu Jun and Jing Jun.
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and the movements in his hands were as fast as lightning. While withdrawing the head of the gun, he fiercely pulled the tail of the gun towards Zhang Hu's head. Although the head was protected by armor, Xia Houchun's move The power of the blow is extraordinary. Even with protection, it can kill Zhang Hu.
After all, Zhang Hu is Zhang Liao's son who was given everything.
When Xia Houchun drew, Zhang Hu tilted his head to the side. At the same time, he ignored the pain in his heart and swept the long knife in his hand. This is one of the eight basic sword techniques: sweep.
In terms of essentials, Zhang Hu's ability is indeed lacking, but he is absolutely solid in basic attacks. Xia Houchun knew that Zhang Hu's weakness was not in kung fu, so he naturally did not dare to underestimate the enemy. He twisted his wrist and forcibly changed the direction of the twitching gun body. It collided with Zhang Hu's knife.
"bump!"
A huge force caused the handle of the knife to shake wildly. Zhang Hu felt that the weapon was about to be released. He gritted his teeth and clenched it desperately, and the tiger's mouth was shattered. The terrible force was slowly released, but his arms and hands They were all shocked to the point of numbness.
Xia Houchun was also shocked to the point that his hands were numb, but he was much better than Zhang Hu.
Seeing that Zhang Hu could not be defeated in one or two rounds, Xia Houchun did not dare to stop any longer. He rode his horse into the charge of the Jing Army cavalry from behind, and led the army to quickly break through.
The military order Zhang Hu received was that if he was attacked by the Wei army, he must hold on for half an hour.
Now there is at least half an incense left before half an hour (one incense is equal to half an hour), and Xia Houchun must not be allowed to escape from his defense line. At this moment, the two sides combined nearly 60,000 troops to fight together. Many Wei troops on both sides who were not involved in the battle were running quickly to rush over. The participating troops also quickly separated from the battle group under the leadership of Xia Houchun.
Seeing that Xia Houchun wanted to leave, he turned the horse's head with all his strength and shouted: "All the soldiers in the army listen to the order! You have abandoned the army and escaped from the rebel army! Whoever kills Xia Houchun will be rewarded with a hundred taels!" After drinking, he turned the horse's head with all his strength. He followed the few personal guards around him and chased him.
Xiahou Chuntou would not lead his troops to rush out.
When the Jing army who came from behind heard Zhang Hu's order, they all started to kill Xia Houchun, which doubled the pressure on Xia Houchun's soldiers, but they had to fight hard. The Wei army who wanted to rush out from behind tried their best to follow Xia Houchun's general flag, because if he lost it, he would be greeted by the fierce Jing army.
"Xia Houchun, I have heard that you are a famous general of the Wei State and have superb martial arts skills. When we fight today, I realize that you are just living up to your reputation. You can't even defeat me, Zhang Hu. You just run for your life. You are truly the most shameful general in ancient and modern times!" Xia Houchun led the army to break through the defense line, and Zhang Hu was excited to use his method.
Xia Houchun's face was expressionless, except for the subtle twitching of the veins on his forehead.
It was indeed a bit embarrassing to be chased and scolded by a junior in front of the three armies.
Under such profound abuse, Xia Houchun could still maintain a calm mind and focus on the overall situation. Zhang Hu admired him in his heart. He knew that he was not his opponent in the fight just now, but no matter what, he had to complete the military order even if it cost his life.
I had to make this decision.
