Liu Chan threw reinforcements, and met the people sent by Li Er to Shangyong halfway. After receiving the letter, it turned out that they were planning to unite with Xing's troops to encircle and suppress Xu Huang's tribe.

Liu Chan, who was marching normally, started to move quickly after receiving the report.

Needless to say, Ding Feng and Guan Xing.

From what I have observed, Li Er and Chai Rong, who did not leave their names in the original history, are definitely not bad in talent.

As long as you cultivate them well, you will definitely be able to accomplish something in the future.

It's just that they started late and have a relatively poor foundation. They lack the conditions of being taught by famous teachers and provided with resources since childhood by aristocratic families.

Ding Feng and Guan Xing still lack experience, and Li Er and Chai Rong lack foundation.

When facing a seasoned commander like Xu Huang, Liu Chan was worried that they would suffer.

If you want to compete in the world, talent is crucial.

You can suffer defeat, and even the city can be lost, but talents and veterans must not be killed in large numbers. These are the most precious assets.

Liu Chan, who was marching eastward under the stars and the moon, also discovered a fire in the distance when he sent scouts on the way.

In the dark night, the fire is still very conspicuous and can be spotted from a long distance.

This made Liu Chan more and more anxious. The direction of the fire was a path leading to Wudang Mountain.

Only local mountain people sometimes take this road to hunt and collect medicine.

If the battle site was there, Liu Chan would be almost certain that his side was being plotted after a little thought.

Based on Liu Chan's understanding of Xu Huang, such a crazy act as leading troops through the Wudang Mountains to circumvent Fangling was definitely not what someone like him would do.

If he really leads his troops into the trail, it must be a ploy to lure the enemy!

Sure enough, Liu Chan, who led his troops quickly and slowly, finally intercepted the main force of Cao's army before they entered the trail.

"The Imperial Formation, march on!"

There was no shouting in front of the battle this time. Liu Chan, who was worried about the safety of his men, already knew what was happening when he discovered the enemy troops, and he directly issued the order to attack.

This time Liu Chan did not rely on his martial arts and horse power to attack alone. First, the terrain was not conducive to maneuvering, but more importantly... with his eyesight, he saw that the enemy army was equipped with multiple crossbowmen under the torch.

The arrows of ordinary crossbows are smaller and lighter than those of bows. As a result, although they stall faster, the range is shorter than that of war bows.

But it also achieves faster flight speed, stronger penetration, and is less affected by wind within the effective range.

At this time, the visibility is worse than during the day, and it is still raining. Even if the single-handed attack is triggered, the physical fitness is only at the level of [Dragon Spirit and Tiger Fierce].

Faced with crossbows with excellent armor-piercing capabilities, Liu Chan, who often used crossbows himself, was not completely sure.

No matter how strong the [Escape Instinct] is, if you insist on hitting the saturated crossbow arrows, it is impossible to guarantee your own safety.

The reason why Liu Chan likes to attack alone is to activate multiple characteristics and give full play to his own advantages to achieve the greatest results. It is not just for the sake of recklessness.

For example, now is obviously not the time to be reckless.

The Hanzhong reinforcements were in the middle and rear, and the five hundred Red Star Army formed an imperial formation were at the front, while the soldiers wearing black armor were at the front of the Red Star Army formation.

The archers were the first to throw, and then the crossbowmen waited for the opportunity to strike flatly. The military formations of both sides moved forward as a whole, and the spear formations slapped and stabbed each other, looking for opportunities to disrupt the enemy formation.

This is a real hard fight, without any fancy, just speaking with the most direct hard power...?

of course not.

Liu Chan turned over and dismounted, took the big yellow crossbow that he carried with the army, and at the same time picked up several crossbow arrows specially designed for the big yellow crossbow and then mounted again.

Using his lower body strength, he firmly fixed himself on the mount's back. Wu Hao felt something in his heart, and his muscles tensed up, waiting for his master's next move.

After setting up his arrows, Liu Chan raised the big yellow crossbow with one arm and aimed at Cao Jun's camp...

The big yellow crossbow is no different from the ordinary crossbow. If it weren't for his naturally long arms, he really wouldn't be able to complete this action.

Bang!

After a muffled sound, the lengthened and thickened crossbow arrows plunged straight into the front row of Cao's army with a sharp sound of breaking through the air!

At the same time, an obvious push came along Liu Chan's arm. Fortunately, he had been prepared, otherwise this sudden blow would have pushed him off his horse.

This arrow passed over the head of one's own soldiers and accurately hit a Cao Jun soldier.

The crossbow arrow penetrated his shield and armor without any suspense. A ball of blood burst out from his back, and then the crossbow arrow penetrated and pierced the body of the spearman behind him.

The Red Star veterans have been trained rigorously and are now considered to have been battle-hardened for a long time. How could they miss such a good opportunity?

They immediately pounced forward ferociously, working together to tear open the gap.

At the same time, Liu Chan on the horse exhaled loudly and screamed with strength in his arms.

"open!"

With one person's strength, he once again pulled the string of the big yellow crossbow and mounted another arrow!

This move stunned the surrounding Hanzhong reinforcements and Wang Ping.

Good guy, this is using the big yellow crossbow as an ordinary infantry crossbow.

Even ordinary crossbows are mostly used with the body stretched or the waist stretched, and those with the arms stretched mostly are small light crossbows.

They have never seen anyone use the big yellow crossbow like this...

Bang!

Another arrow was shot, and someone in Cao's army was shot down again. In front of this kind of thing, ordinary patent leather wooden shields and armor were a joke.

Just as the morale of the soldiers was greatly shaken, and they were about to tear apart Cao Jun's formation, a strange thunder-like sound came from the rear of Cao Jun.

Immediately, two large rocks flew into the air and smashed down towards the position of our own central army!

"spread!"

Liu Chan quickly reminded him that the boulder did not fly that fast after all, and the surrounding soldiers quickly dispersed.

With two bangs, two head-sized rocks smashed into the rain-wet mud, and the mud splashed all over the surrounding soldiers.

Both sides unanimously chose to use this unconventional weapon, aiming at the opponent's ordinary soldiers...

Fortunately, there were only two Pili Chariots left. Apart from causing some confusion to Liu Chan's Chinese army, they did not cause much damage.

On the other hand, the Red Star Army had successfully torn a hole in Cao's army's line. At this time, they began to harvest the lives of Cao's soldiers who had lost the protection of their formation.

But in Cao's square formation, there is also a second echelon of sword and shield soldiers. Although the Red Star Army caused certain losses to it, Cao's army, under the command of Zhen Xu Huang, did not show signs of defeat for a while.

Liu Chan, who was worried about the situation in the trail, became a little impatient for the first time.

Li Er, Chai Rong, Ding Feng, several people whom I had high hopes for were all there.

Apart from the three of them, there are also five hundred Red Star veterans.

These veterans accompanied him through the most difficult period and changed the lives of Jingzhou and Uncle Guan.

They are their own soldiers and brothers.

Liu Chan wished he could break through Cao's camp now and lead his troops to rescue them, but his natural rationality made him still restrain himself.

Because the crossbowmen on the flanks of Cao's army were obviously still on guard.

Liu Chan wiped the rain off his face angrily, and the knuckles of his other hand holding the reins cracked. He couldn't do it now. He had to wait until the battle situation became more chaotic...

However, not long after, there was another shout of killing coming from behind Cao Jun!

Cao's soldiers on the front line didn't know what was happening behind them, and they were obviously shaken.

Cao's troops in the rear became increasingly chaotic. It seemed that another group of men and horses launched an attack from the rear of Cao's army.

Guan Xing has finally arrived!

Liu Chan immediately raised his lips, now!

He immediately replaced the big yellow crossbow, held the spear again, and shouted: "Blow the horn! Drive!"

After the order was given, Liu Chan urged his horse and left.

Wu Zhui, who was already impatient, immediately trotted away from the military formation. The moment he separated from the friendly forces, he spread his legs and flew towards the south hillside.

The desolate and distant sound of horns sounded among Liu Chan's army, and the figures of Baiqi appeared on the gentle slope of Nanshan.

"kill--!"

The cavalry troops rushed down the hillside one after another, diagonally thrusting towards Cao's army!

Liu Chan rode his horse in the rain, Wu Zhui drew an arc on the hillside, and quickly caught up with the cavalry, keeping pace with Li Feisha!

Liu Chan pointed his spear at the center of Cao's army on horseback: "General Meng Qi, help me break through the enemy's formation!"

Ma Chao raised his lance and looked at the long-armed boy who was half a body ahead. His usually cold eyes gradually became hot: "My lord, I obey!"
