Chapter 165 A shocking feat! (3)(1/2)

When the situation has developed to this point, Lu Zhi's plan to attack the heart can be said to have completely failed. Not only did Lu Zhi himself know this, but Zhang Huang also knew it.

But even so, the Yellow Turban Army in Pingxiang County still could not escape the end of annihilation, because the difference between their forces and the Northern Army was too great. What's even worse was that among the nearly 30,000 Northern Army, there were tens of thousands of cavalrymen.

What does it mean to have ten thousand light cavalry?

It means that the Yellow Turban soldiers who lack war horses and can only rely on their legs can't escape from Pingxiang County even if they want to evacuate from Pingxiang County at this time. If they dare to leave the county town easily, once they are intercepted by the Northern Army's whistle cavalry, then what follows will be the pursuit of the Northern Army's light cavalry. Not to mention Zhang Huang at that time, even if Zhang Liang takes action personally, it will be impossible to recover the defeat.

unless……

Unless Zhang Huang can kill Lu Zhi, give the Northern Army a wake-up call, and hurt their morale with one blow. But as the saying goes, it is easier said than done. Zhang Huang's assassination has fully proved how difficult it is to successfully assassinate Lu Zhi, the commander of the Northern Army. Not to mention anything else, Lu Zhi himself is not a pure scholar. It is not difficult to see from the fact that he accurately shot down Zhang Huang's sword flying towards him. In addition to his wisdom and outstanding morality, the commander of the Northern Army is also extraordinary in his martial arts, which is not in vain.

[Is the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army really irrescueable?]

While leading dozens of riders to the Yellow Turban Trail to return to Pingxiang County, Zhang Huang couldn't help asking.

I have to admire his courage and harsh nerves here. You must know that behind them, there were the Changshui Camp knights who were like a turbulent sea tide. These fierce knights seemed to have turned into ferocious beasts at this time, and regarded Zhang Huang and others as prey that would definitely pursue relentlessly. Who told Zhang Huang to dare to take the blame in the world and use fire spell to penetrate and burn the flag of the Northern Army? You must know that this move is no less than slapping these proud Northern Army soldiers in the face. I believe that from the moment Zhang Huang penetrated the Northern Army's flag, he and the Northern Army formed different hatreds, and, never to die, there is no possibility of reconciling their grudges except one side was defeated.

What's worse is that in front of Zhang Huang and his group, the infantry battalions who had just been able to break through with the power of Taoism had already been neatly arranged in order to be solemn. Because he learned the lesson of being broken through by Zhang Huang and others in the previous time, this time, Hou Penghou, the former Ququ who was responsible for commanding the infantry, specially thickened the array and combined the infantry of the two Qu into one, which means that Zhang Huang would not have the chance to take advantage of any more loopholes this time.

But then again, are there really no loopholes?

It may not be true?! At least Zhang Huang has other ideas in his mind.

"The next one is the tough battle..." Zhang Huang reminded the dozens of cavalry and Yellow Turbans behind him with expressionless expression, and shouted loudly, "Everyone, next, we will break through the square formation of the soldiers in the Northern Infantry Battalion facing us again. If we can break through the past, we will be able to survive; if we cannot break through, we will be defeated here!" His voice shouted very loudly, even the soldiers of the Northern Infantry Battalion in the distance could hear clearly, but for some reason. After Zhang Huang finished speaking this sentence, he whispered to Han Xian, Yang Feng and others beside him. Immediately, Han Xian and Yang Feng also deliberately slowed down the sprint and passed Zhang Huang's words to others.

Perhaps, there is something else in this?

But the Ququ Hou Penghou, who was in front of the Northern Army Infantry Battalion opposite, did not investigate it deeply. He was angry and full of anger. His mind was filled with Zhang Huang's crazy words that were just now.

[You just waited for a breakthrough, it was just because we didn't know that you knew how to sacrifice the black wind. Now that we are prepared, how could we ask you to wait for success?!]

Thinking in his head, Peng Hou looked back at the formation of his soldiers again. Seeing that there was no narrow passage left in the infantry camp array under his command that Zhang Huang and others could pass through, he felt at ease.

In his opinion, as long as there is no loophole for Zhang Huang to drill Zhang Huang this time, even if Zhang Huang and others use their old tricks to re-sell Black Wind, the fate will be that they will be killed by men and horses in the hedgehog-like infantry formation. Don’t think that cavalry must be the nemesis of infantry. In fact, as long as the spearmen have enough courage and are not afraid of sacrifice, even if the cavalry is charging, they can completely curb their seemingly invincible momentum and damage them severely. Of course, the cavalry here refers to light cavalry. If it is heavy cavalry, they can only fill the trench with their lives.

"The whole army is on guard!"

He glanced at the Yellow Turbans of Zhang Huang and others who were getting closer and closer to him. In front of Ququ Hou Penghou raised his right hand and clenched his fists heavily, and used a low voice to inspire the infantry under his command.

After all, even the soldiers of the Northern Army would inevitably feel fear and panic, because they would use their spears and flesh and blood to block the other's war horses. Although the end of the collision between the two was that Zhang Huang and others were stabbed to death on the infantry's spears, there was no doubt that the infantry in the front row would have great casualties. Even if they mastered the rigid body, it would be difficult to resolve the collision of the intensity. I believe that if the infantry in the front row was hit by the war horses under the crotch of Zhang Huang and others, the consequences would be that they would be seriously injured and vomited blood. The worst was that they would be hit and killed on the spot.

"Don't panic, remember that we are the Northern Army! All-in-one and incomparable, the world's number one army! It is the king's army next to the emperor!... The dream destination of tens of millions of men in the world... As soldiers of the Northern Army, we should strive to establish merits and serve the country and be loyal to the emperor. How could we ask for horses and corpses?... Our Northern Army men face the enemy in front of us and die with all their strength. This is how we are the Northern Army's soldiers!"

Speaking of this, Peng Hou took a breath and said in a low voice full of magnetic voice, "You wait for the left and right, and you will swear to follow the same zodiac signs and never leave them. So even if there is a dragon and tiger den ahead, why fear? And in front of you, those are the enemies who have just been playing with us, and we... swear to stay away from it!"

"Whoa whoa--!"

It has to be said that the Northern Army is an army full of glory. After hearing Peng Hou's words, the morale of the thousand infantry was immediately inspired to the peak, and almost everyone's eyes were almost morbid fanaticism and a sense of honor.

The sudden power made Peng Hou, who witnessed this scene, feel proud and proud of being a part of this army, and also made dozens of cavalry including Zhang Huang tremble in fear.

At this time, Peng Hou looked at Zhang Huang and others who were getting closer and closer to him, and slowly stretched out his right hand again. He then clenched his fists heavily.

"Battle formation...Yue Yan!"

"Swish--"

The 1,000 infantry battalions were almost at the same time. The soldiers in the front row took a step back with their right leg, then arched their left leg, knelt on the ground with their right knee, and firmly pinned the end of the spear in their hands into the soil on the surface. Then they tightened the body of the gun and tightened the muscles of their bodies, with a solemn expression on their faces. The soldiers in the back row stood up half a step, held the spear tightly with both hands, and inserted it into the empty space on the shoulders of the two half-kneeled Tongze in front.

At that moment, the gun array facing Zhang Huang and others suddenly became twice as heavy. The dense spear tips shone with a creeping cold light in the sun, which made people shudder. I believe that if patients with dense phobia see this scene, just one glance will make them faint with foaming mouths, because even ordinary people will be creepy and their bodies will be cold.

Yue Yan Gun Array!

It is worthy of being a thick and insurmountable battle formation as thick as a mountain!

"hiss……"

Yang Feng took a breath of coldness when he saw this. Even Han Xian, who had always had expressionless expressions, was shocked and gray. As for the other Bian Xi, Lang Ping and others, the eyes were even more terrified, and these people couldn't help but secretly rejoice in their hearts. Fortunately, their leader Zhang Huang rushed into the enemy's battle formation without a fever this time.

Hey? It’s strange. Didn’t Zhang Huang clearly shout out that he wanted to attack the infantry battalion again just now?

Looking closely, the situation seemed even more strange. Zhang Huang, who had clearly shouted that sentence. Including the dozens of Yellow Turbans behind him, the war horses under their crotch gradually slowed down, which made the Changshui Camp knights who were chasing behind them gradually closer to him.

“Hmm?”

This scene made Lu Zhi, Liu Biao, and the captains of each battalion near the Northern Army's main formation suspicious.

"I wonder if your colleagues have noticed it. Zhang Baiqi and his party's speed has gradually slowed down..." Liu Biao, who admired Zhang Huang's courage, took the lead in calling out the nickname he gave to Zhang Huang, "Baiqi".

"Can the horse bet not continued?" Bao Hong, the captain of the Tunqin, touched his chin and said thoughtfully. "After all the time, these thieves rushed from Pingxiang County. Now they turned back the same route. It is roughly estimated that the distance of more than ten miles is almost the limit of those war horses..."

"Is that true?" Wu Fu, the captain of Yueqin, looked at the Changshui Camp knights who were chasing Zhang Huang and others with some concern. Compared to Zhang Huang and his group who were gradually slowing down, the charge speed of the Changshui Camp knights did not slow down. For some reason, Wu Fu felt a little uneasy.

As if to verify his guess, Lu Zhi nodded and affirmed, "What Captain Wu said is not bad, and I also think this matter is a fraud!"

The other four camp captains were stunned when they heard this, and then they immediately understood what Lu Zhi meant. In the end, there were no ones who could take the position of captain. They just thought carefully and guessed Wu Fu's concern: they were nothing more than worrying that Zhang Huang suddenly stopped the speed of the war horse at the last moment and changed the direction, causing the knights of Changshui Camp to hit the solemn battle formation of the infantry battalion soldiers because of inertia, and failed to pursue and opened the way for the former.

At this time, Changshui Captain Mu Mu, who had never spoken on his own, smiled calmly, "You are too sceptical about my Changshui Camp, are you?"

Everyone was stunned and nodded as relieved.

You should know that the cavalry of Changshui Camp were stationed in the waters of Chang'an and Xuanqu areas. They were used by the Han Dynasty to focus on guarding against the Qiang and Hu troops on the west side. Although they were experienced and experienced, how could they have such a simple trick?

I believe that if Zhang Huang and others were really forced to rush into the infantry battalion battle formation, the Changshui Camp knights would have arrived later and chased Zhang Huang and others in the rear; but if Zhang Huang was smart and wanted to do tricks, he planned to stop the horse's power at the last moment, haha, Changshui Camp would be no less than Gongsun Zan's light cavalry who would follow the white horses, and would hold the horses in place to keep the front hooves of the war horses suspended in the air to stop the charge momentum. In the eyes of this group of people, it would be common. There is no doubt that as long as Zhang Huang and others dared to rush into the infantry battalion, the battle formation that would be forced to rush into the infantry battalion would be even more miserable!

"But it's better to be careful after all... I wonder if the infantry battalion and Changshui Camp noticed it now?" Seeing that Changshui Captain Malfoy had already said this, Lu Zhi's deputy general, the Wuhuan Captain, had to stand up and smooth things out. After all, if you continue, it will evolve into not believing in the strength of the Changshui Camp knights, even if you are colleagues. I'm afraid that Changshui Captain Malfoy will also turn against you on the spot.

After hearing the clan's words, everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to the battlefield, but what surprised them was that, whether it was the infantry battalion or the Changshui battalion, these two obviously experienced armies did not seem to have noticed that Zhang Huang deliberately slowed down the sprint speed of the war horses in jealousy.

Yes, they didn't notice it, nor could they notice it. Because at this moment, the infantry battalion soldiers, Zhang Huang and the Changshui Camp knights, were almost on the same horizontal line. Speed ​​can only be the most obvious speed and slow down on the side, but if the speed is gradually slowed down, it is difficult to be noticed. Zhang Huang knew this most clearly in his heart.

But then again, for the cavalry such as Changshui Camp, which had obvious equestrian skills, Zhang Huang naturally would not naively think that such a simple trick could allow this cavalry to crash into the infantry camp's battle formation instead of them and break the infantry camp's absolutely impeccable defense line for them.

He had another idea. And, it was for this idea that he chose this retreat route.

"The bright light ahead, beware of accidents..."

He teased the cavalrymen of Changshui Camp who were chasing behind him. Zhang Huang suddenly raised his right hand and clenched his fist suddenly, just twenty feet away from the phalanx of the infantry camp facing him.

Suddenly, a strange crow cries sounded. The bright sun in the sky that had hidden in the clouds for a moment suddenly burst out with a dazzling bright light. In this strong light, Zhang Huang, who had already greeted dozens of Yellow Turbans behind him, suddenly stopped his horse and stopped his speed and turned to the left.

The cavalrymen of Changshui Camp behind Zhang Huang never expected that such a change would occur. Even though they were experienced, their first reaction was to raise their hands to cover them in front of them, and then the second thought that arose in their hearts, which made them completely disappointed.

[Oh...Oh no!]

Just a moment of change of thought, the Changshui Camp knights, who failed to stop the charge of the war horses in time, rushed towards the shocked and even fearful eyes of the infantry battalion soldiers who were facing the sun and were not affected by the strong light of the sun. With a roar, a thunderous and even terrifying tide hitting the sea rocks.

In just a few breaths, the knights of the Changshui Camp collided with the spearmen of the infantry battalion, and hundreds of soldiers of the Northern Army died in the hands of Boze. What's worse, the knights of the Changshui Camp highlighted their powerful force to pierce the enemy's array at this moment. They were only in a loss of mind. Although they did not break the defense line of the entire infantry battalion, they also caused several loopholes to appear in the infantry battalion's originally impeccable defense line.

"Let's go!" Taking the opportunity, Zhang Huang grabbed his horse's belly and led dozens of cavalry Huang Teng rushed over along the road where the cavalry in Changshui Camp was rushing.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from not far away.

"Damn thief, don't leave!"

Accompanied by this loud shout, Hou Penghou, Quju in front of the infantry battalion, rushed over with a heavy iron spear, and swung the iron spear in his hand towards Zhang Huang.

"clang--!"

With a loud bang, the two riders passed by.

"..." After glanced at the slightly trembling hands, Zhang Huang looked back at Peng Hou in a little horror, but saw that Ququhou, Qu'er in front of the burly and strong infantry battalion, was unfortunately blocked by the infantry under his command, and could only look at Zhang Huang who was gradually moving away and cursed with gritting teeth.

[Excluding Taoism does not count, this guy's force may not be below me, perhaps, brute force alone is still above me?]

Zhang Huang was slightly shocked. Just imagine, if Qu Hou in the Northern Army was vaguely equal to him in terms of force, how strong would the five Northern Army captains who had just met?

In fact, Zhang Huang knew in his heart that although he assassinated Lu Zhi twice under the joint of Wu Fu, Bao Hong and other five Northern Army schools, in fact, the five lieutenants did not use all their strength. Perhaps these guys felt that it was too embarrassing to join forces with their own status to deal with a young thief general. If it weren't for this, how could they have not even used their martial souls?

But even so, Zhang Huang was not depressed or discouraged at all. Instead, he felt confident, because he found that when he was in a steep land, his attention was unprecedentedly concentrated, and his thinking speed seemed to increase many times faster than usual. What was even more incredible is that there seemed to be a voice in the dark that would remind him of the next upcoming crisis and how to avoid the crisis as much as possible.

intuition!

This is the intuition of the general!

It is the talent that all heroes who should be born to gallop on the battlefield should possess!

Although Zhang Huang doesn't know much about this at the moment, he is certain that whenever he is in a steep battlefield or whenever he resolves a seemingly desperate crisis, a faint feeling of power seems to be added to his body.

In short, he vaguely felt that he was gradually becoming stronger in such a large-scale battlefield!

It was this seemingly incredible sign that filled Zhang Huang's heart with himself, and he gradually believed that if he had been tempered on the battlefield, then one day he would have a powerful force enough to avenge his father's death to the fifth palace Yuan.

However, what Zhang Huang cares most about is whether he can return to Pingxiang County smoothly. After all, the matter of avenging revenge on the fifth palace Yuan, who has a semi-immortal body, is still too far away for him at this moment.

"Run...rush out?"

"It really rushed out!"

Because of the "help" of the Changshui Camp knights, dozens of cavalry in Zhang Huang's ranks seemed dangerous, but in the end, they successfully and easily broke through the infantry camp's intercepting formation again.

This miracle that may not happen once in decades has made the soldiers of the infantry battalion of the two Qu's faces dull.

Not only did they not block the enemy, they were killed by friendly cavalry for a while. What's this?!

I believe that the knights of Changshui Camp will not feel any less comfortable than Tong Ze of the infantry battalion. You must know that in the strong light just now, I don’t know how many knights of Changshui Camp died unjustly under the spears of friendly troops. The most miserable thing is that they were strung to death on the tip of the gun with several spears.

For some reason, not many knights in Changshui Camp chased Zhang Huang and the others anymore, and the spearmen in the infantry camp were also dull and lost. Perhaps they were asking themselves at this moment: What are they doing?!

There were only Yueqi, and only the Yueqi camp knights who were evenly divided under Pingxiang County with more than ten small teams and watched from beginning to end. When they saw the two friendly troops of Changshui Camp and the Infantry Camp, they immediately resolutely took on the task of intercepting Zhang Huang and his group.

This time, even Zhang Huang has no good plans, and his only move is to force breakthrough!

After all, although the Yueqi cavalry is a cavalry that mainly harasses and aids friendly forces, their essence is still cavalry. This means that as long as Zhang Huang and the others can forcefully break through the past when they charge against each other, they will eventually get some breathing time when the Yueqi cavalry adjusts their direction and catches up again.
To be continued...
