"Yide, we are the vanguard, and this is the first battle. Victory or defeat is crucial to morale. We must not act on impulse, let alone show off the courage of an ordinary man."
Seeing the fierce look in Zhang Fei's eyes, Zhang Liao still didn't understand his plan and quickly spoke to persuade him.
"Don't worry Wenyuan, I will act according to the opportunity."
Zhang Fei said as he held the snake spear in his hand tighter.
Seeing this, Zhang Liao sighed and couldn't persuade him anymore. After all, his relationship with Zhang Fei was not that familiar yet.
While the two were talking, suddenly a soldier came flying to report.
"General, there are traces of enemy troops ten miles ahead!"
"Sure enough, it's here!" Zhang Fei laughed excitedly, "Let's explore again!"
"As you command!"
The soldier responded loudly with his fists clasped, turned his horse's head and left.
"Yide, the enemy is not far away. We should set up our array and wait for work. Only then can we have a chance of winning this battle." Zhang Liao immediately advised.
Based on Zhang Fei's excited performance just now, Zhang Liao believed that he would never wait here. The reason why he persuaded him was to fulfill his responsibility as a lieutenant general.
But Zhang Fei, uncharacteristically, nodded and said loudly: "Wen Yuan, you are right. Send the order, and the whole army will form an array. The infantry will hold shields in front, the crossbowmen will be divided into two wings, and the cavalry will be behind, waiting for the opportunity. "
Hearing this, Zhang Liao's eyes flashed with surprise.
Yide, when did you become so calm and collected?
Probably having an insight into Zhang Liao's thoughts, Zhang Fei smiled and said: "I, Mr. Zhang, are indeed eager to achieve meritorious service, but he is not stupid. He, Guo Si, rushed up to die on his own. Why don't I go up and stop him?"
"Wide virtue is brilliant!"
This statement made Zhang Liao laugh. He complimented Zhang Fei casually and went forward to arrange his troops.
Zhang Fei was able to detect Guo Bang's movements, and Guo Bang naturally knew Zhang Fei's location.
When the scout reported this to him, Guo Bang couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"The thieves have some courage. They dare to go out of the city to fight with me in the field. How many people came?"
I thought it was a tough battle, but who knew that the system suddenly lowered the difficulty.
"I don't know the exact number, but judging from the team flags, there should be thousands of people." the soldier replied.
"Okay, pass my order to the general, and the whole army will speed up!"
"As you command!"
Guo Si's way of coping can be called wild. Years of experience fighting in Liangzhou gave him almost blind confidence in his cavalry.
Fight with me in the wild with the Xiliang cavalry, and in the end you can only turn into meat under the horses' hooves!
Under Guo Bang's crazy charge, the distance between the two armies gradually became closer. In less than half an hour, Guo Bang could vaguely see Zhang Fei's banner in the distance, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed.
"Go down with the order, charge the whole army, and tear the enemy into pieces!"
Guo Bang roared and took his weapon from the hands of the soldiers beside him, which was a long iron sword.
This knife has been with him for many years in battles. Because he has killed too many people, the blade has been slightly chipped. Under the sunlight at noon at this moment, it hurts people's eyes, just like Guo Si's expression at this moment is as sharp.
Guo Si naturally understood the importance of the first battle, so he chose to take the lead without hesitation in order to boost morale and defeat Zhang Fei's troops on the opposite side.
"My sons, follow me and kill!"
Guo Si rode his horse out of the crowd and roared.
The horn of attack then sounded, and the five thousand Xiliang troops let out an earth-shattering roar, turned into a black torrent and began a high-speed charge.
"These little maids, do they think they can win by shouting loudly?"
Opposite him, Zhang Fei said with disdain and spit on the ground.
Looking at the smoke and dust billowing into the sky, Zhang Liao's expression became more solemn.
"This is the cavalry charge that the Xiliang Army is best at. It is extremely powerful. You must not underestimate the enemy!"
"Of course I know that these barbarians from Xiliang will show off by wasting war horses." Zhang Fei said with disdain, "As long as they survive the first wave of charges, they will be a group of lambs behind us, letting us slaughter them!"
Although Zhang Fei's tone was disdainful, he still couldn't hide his deep jealousy.
Liangzhou is rich in war horses and is known as the Great Horse of Xiliang. This is one of the reasons why Liangzhou has strong military strength. As the origin of war horses, the cavalry of the Xiliang Army can almost have one man with two horses, or even three horses, which is extremely luxurious.
In this era without double stirrups, the cavalry's assault capability was actually very limited. Although Guo Bang's tactics are powerful, they cause great damage to the horses, which makes Zhang Fei, who is used to living a tight life, very jealous.
"Yide actually knows the Xiliang army's tactics?" Zhang Liao said in surprise.
"That's natural. I saw this kind of tactics when I followed my brother to conquer the Yellow Turbans in the past." Zhang Fei said with a smile, with a hint of pride in his tone.
Seeing that Guo Sijun's charge was getting closer and closer, the sound of horse hooves stirred up dust in the sky, which greatly frightened his soldiers. Zhang Fei quickly informed the entire army.
"Don't panic. The messengers ordered the crossbowmen to cock their arrows immediately, but they must not release arrows until the enemy is within range!"
Even in such a critical moment, Mr. Zhang still did not forget his true nature of being diligent and thrifty.
Guo Sijun was getting closer and closer, and the sound of horse hooves like a roaring mountain and a tsunami became louder and louder.
Finally, Guo Si's army rushed within 300 steps.
"put!"
Zhang Fei shouted loudly, and the crossbowmen on both sides released their fingers without hesitation.
The next moment, arrows rained down from the sky.
In battlefield combat, ejection can not only increase the range, but also cover a larger area. Therefore, after the arrows flew into the sky, they drew an arc in the air and fell towards Guo Si's army like raindrops and snowflakes.
"Raise your shield!"
Guo Si didn't panic at all and shouted coldly.
Having been on the battlefield for many years, he has seen this method many times. As long as you can withstand these waves of arrows and rush into the enemy's formation, the enemy troops will be like a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and they can only wail under their iron hooves.
After a round of arrow rain, although it caused some damage to Guo Si's army, it could not stop the footsteps of these thousands of Xiliang war horses.
Zhang Fei was not impatient, and immediately shouted: "Let it go again!"
Another round of arrow rain roared in, and because the distance was closer, it caused more damage. Even Guo Si himself was almost hit by an arrow.
He stared at Zhang Fei's banner in the distance, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty killing intent.
That Zhang Yide must be under the banner, rush in, I want to kill this man with my own hands and show off the power of our army!
Finally, after four or five rounds of arrows, Guo Bang's army finally came over, and the war officially entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat.
The collision force of the war horses is astonishing, not to mention the thousands of war horses after the acceleration.
As soon as the troops from both sides came into contact, many of Zhang Fei's soldiers at the front were immediately knocked away. Under the iron hooves of the war horse, the shield in his hand looked so fragile.
Fortunately, Zhang Liao had anticipated this situation and deployed three layers of defense arrays at the front, but they were almost destroyed by Guo Si's charge.
But at this time, the more important it is to resist. Once one person retreats, a chain reaction will occur, like a domino, and morale will collapse in an instant.
"Send an order and order a thousand soldiers to come forward to supervise the battle. If the soldiers at the front are dead, then supervise the troops on top, including all the soldiers in the army. Anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed immediately!"
Zhang Liao stared at the battle ahead and ordered coldly.
The war is now tense, and Zhang Liao has long lost his usual gentle look. Instead, there was a surge of energy from the inside out.
"As you command!"
The soldiers clasped their fists and left.
On the front line, Guo Bang was clashing with each other with a big sword in his hand. He was already covered in blood, and there was no enemy he encountered!
Under his leadership, the battle line was pushed forward again and again, and now it had reached the third line of defense.
And looking at the direction, he actually tried to push under Zhang Fei's banner.
"This little servant boy is so arrogant. I haven't even gone to find him yet, but he rushed over to die on his own."
Zhang Fei laughed and cursed, his grin full of fighting spirit.
"Wen Yuan, you command the army here, I'll go meet the thief general for a while!"
Hearing this, Zhang Liogang wanted to stop him, but Zhang Fei didn't give him a chance at all, and rushed out with his soldiers with a wave of his hand.
"Yide, you..."
Zhang Liao smiled bitterly, but he was not worried at all, but rather envious.
As a warrior, Zhang Liao naturally admires force in his heart. Moreover, he also had some disdain for this so-called first brave general in Xiliang. If he hadn't been tasked with the important task, he would have rushed forward to compete with Guo Bang.
Just when Guo Si was killing like a fish in water in the battle formation, Zhang Fei arrived.
Zhang Fei, who always likes to fight undeclared, did not make a sneak attack this time, but rushed from the front. Even the moment the Zhangba snake spear was thrust out, Zhang Fei let out a thunderous roar, as if he was specially prepared to fight. Remind the other person the same.
Facing the most brave general in Xiliang, Zhang Fei gave him and himself the greatest respect - I, Zhang Yide, will defeat you with dignity today!
Guo Bang was killing happily when he suddenly heard a loud roar of thunder not far away, as if it was exploding in his ears. When he hurriedly followed the sound, he saw a big man with a beard rushing not far from him, holding a snake spear directly at his throat.
Guo Bang was startled and hurriedly blocked with his sword.
Keng!
Where the two men's swords met, there was a thick metallic roar, and a wisp of sparks burst out.
What was reflected in the firelight was Zhang Fei's excited face.
Guo Bang felt an unstoppable force coming from the weapon. When he reacted, his arms were already numb, and he couldn't help but feel horrified.
Who is this person and why is he so fierce!
Looking at Zhang Fei again, he just smiled.
"If you can block my spear, you, the thief, are quite capable. Come on, take another spear from your father!"
When Zhang Fei launched another attack, he did not forget to take advantage.
"Ring-eyed thief, who are you?"
With his previous experience, Guo Bang did not dare to resist this time. After dodging, he launched a counterattack and slashed at Zhang Fei with a knife, not forgetting to ask.
"As a dying man, why bother asking your eldest father's name again?"
Zhang Fei sneered and became the Riddler.
After the two attacks just now, Zhang Fei had roughly noticed Guo Si's strength.
He was indeed very strong, but he was far worse than himself, not even as good as Zhang Liao.
At this level, can he be called the number one brave general in Xiliang?
How ridiculous!
Guo Bang was even more depressed, and his eyes almost burst into flames when he looked at Zhang Fei.
If you want to beat this ring-eyed thief, why do you have to take advantage of me?
