"What did you say, Liu Mang's army is coming towards our camp?!" Lu Meng also sent out scouts to observe the movement of the city on the way. Unexpectedly, when their army arrived, Liu Mang's army would not attack the city on the way. Instead, he came towards his own Dazhai.
"Yes, General, the entire Liu Mang army has been mobilized. In the past, the city on the way was under attack, but now the city on the way is quiet!" The scout on the side said to Lu Meng.
"Come and come! Come and kill him without leaving a single piece of armor!" The battle of Ling Chao next to him was awe-inspiring.
"It's not that simple!" Lu Meng frowned. He knew who the general who attacked the city on the way was from Liu Mang's army, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan. Who was Zhang Liao? , it can be said that he is the number one general under Lv Bu's command. Zhang Liao is not only a general, but also a handsome talent. The second is Zhang Liao's soldier, and the third is Lu Bu's bravery, so Zhang Liao's ability can be seen. Against Zhang Liao, Lu Mengna was extremely vigilant. But now Zhang Liao wanted to directly attack his own camp. Lu Meng entered the dense forest and set up camp in order not to be charged by the Xiliang cavalry. Zhang Liao's greatest combat power was the five thousand Xiliang cavalry! Could it be that he wants to use Xiliang iron cavalry to enter the forest and fight him on foot? Lu Meng was a little confused.
But be vigilant and vigilant Lu Meng can't figure it out, but he is not a soft persimmon, since Zhang Liao wants to come, then come!
"My army ordered the whole army to prepare for war! If he dares to come, Zhang Liao will naturally let him go and never return!" Lu Meng was still a young general in his twenties anyway. Although not stupefied. But the blood in the body still exists, the kind of vigor that belongs to young people.
Lu Meng's army quickly assembled. They were close to the forest, and relying on the forest would give the Xiliang cavalry's war horses no advantage at all. If they were not riding well in the woods, if they rode too fast, they might crash into a tree. In the end, they could only Falling off the horse and dying, not to mention the large-scale charge of cavalry.
So with the protection of the dense forest, Lu Meng's army has no fear of these Xiliang cavalry.
Lu Meng was out of sight. It was a plain, and Lu Meng and Zhang Liao's army faced each other across the trees. This Xiliang iron cavalry was really an elite part of the heavy armored cavalry.
Lu Meng is very envious. Jiangdong has no heavy armored cavalry, and the original Yuzhou cavalry was completely killed by Lu Bu. It can be said that Jiangdong basically runs on two legs. If there is such a heavy cavalry With armored cavalry in hand, the Jiangdong Army does not need to be ridiculed, and it is a dragon in the water. There is a bug in the road.
"Is that person Lu Meng?!" Zhang Liao looked at him, and a man wearing a general's armor and standing under the commander's flag was Lu Meng, the current chief general of the Jiangdong Army.
"Huh?!" Lu Meng was a general. The general is naturally very sensitive to other people's gaze, so he also turned around and saw Zhang Liao on the opposite side.
The two are far apart, but both have discovered each other's existence.
"Zhang Liao!"
"Lu Meng"
"Just let me teach you a lesson!"
"Great army!" Zhang Liao waved the command flag in Zhang Liao's hand. After Zhang Huge's army saw it, they each issued orders. The five thousand heavy armored cavalry Xiliang cavalry immediately began to run. This is a heavy army. , In this era of cold weapons, cavalry can be regarded as the king of land warfare. The dust and weeds splashed by the horses trampled on the ground are not only shocking in terms of power, but also in their hearts.
"If such a heavily armored monster is in the same state, Lu Meng really doesn't want to meet them, but it's okay now, there is a natural barrier, the existence of this dense forest.
"Be alert!" Lu Meng also began to dispatch troops. His camp hollowed out a place in the dense forest to form a square, so that the army can be stationed and there are enough branches to go. Light a fire and build a camp.
"Charge!" Zhang Liao pressed Meng De, the flag in Zhang Liao's hand, and the five thousand heavy armored cavalry finished their running warm-up, like a steel beast pounced on the opposite Jiangdong Army. With the sound of rushing and killing all day, if the mental capacity is a little weaker, it may collapse directly.
"Kill, kill, kill!" The five thousand Xiliang iron cavalry rushed towards the opposite side with their mounts. Although these Xiliang iron cavalry and Zhang Liao were in the running-in period, don't forget that they used to be on the battlefield This kind of killing intent may not be felt by one or two people, but once it becomes a group system, this feeling is simply overwhelming pressure.
"Huh!" Lu Meng stood at the very center of the Jiangdong Army. He is the core of the entire army. He took a deep breath. If this was an encounter with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry on the plain, the consequences would be unbearable. Imagine, this is just the Xiliang iron cavalry, Lu Meng really wants to know what it's like to defeat the Xiliang iron cavalry, the number one cavalry in the world, Bingzhou wolf cavalry.
Lu Meng is nervous. It can be said that the entire Jiangdong Army is very nervous. The Jiangdong Army has always focused on water warfare. Land warfare is siege. The opponents are Yan Baihu, Liu Xun, Liu Yao, and Jingzhou soldiers. There is also no heavy cavalry, and it is not even as good as the Jiangdong Army in land warfare. After all, the Jiangdong Army still has elites like the Danyang Bing Jiangdong Army. It should be said that it was Lu Meng's first time to fight against heavy cavalry.
Nervousness is nervousness. As the commander of the first army, if Lu Meng panicked, everything would be over. What's more, the five thousand soldiers under him were not the private soldiers of the 30,000 nobles who came with him. These five thousand people were real soldiers. The elite, that is, the Jiangdong army that Jiangdong survives on!
There are not only Danyang soldiers in Jiangdong, but also Jiangdong Army. This Jiangdong Army has another name called Chu Army. It is true that it is the soldiers of Chu State during the Warring States Period. These troops are all descendants of Chu people. It has been many years, but these people from Jiangdong have always followed the rules of the Chu people. At the beginning, Qin destroyed Chu. Leaving a sentence, although three families of Chu died, Qin must be Chu. That's not to say that Chu State has any prophecy or something. Instead, he was praising the powerful fighting power of the Chu soldiers of the Chu State. In his last stand, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, forcibly displayed the power of the Chu soldiers. In the future, if Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, crosses the river, relying on those Jiangdong soldiers and horses, it is really possible to fight Liu Bang again from the beginning.
Later, Liu Bang killed Xiang Yu, but he didn't directly send troops to Jiangdong. Instead, he used Xiang Yu's body and some other preferential treatment to really take Jiangdong.
And now the Chu soldiers in Lu Meng's hands are 5,000 of them. When Sun Ce attacked Wancheng and finally occupied Wancheng, it was these Chu soldiers. It's just that later, all the 30,000 navy troops were sent into the Yangtze River by Gan Ning with bed crossbows, so Sun Ce had no choice but to leave Wancheng with 5,000 Chu troops, otherwise he would really be besieged to death.
"Raise the bow!" Lu Meng took a deep breath, and he also calmed down. The Chu soldiers under his command also raised the hard bows in their hands one by one. These hard bows are about two stones. A bow that can pull a stone at most is not bad. Liu Mang's urban management army can be said to be a unit that is good at shooting. Liu Mang couldn't let all his subordinates pull the two stone bows.
"Come, come!" Lu Meng looked at the giant steel beasts running. If he really rushed to the Jiangdong army, then he would be greeted by countless arrow rains. Even if he could avoid the arrow rain and have the lush forest as a defense, none of these Xiliang cavalry would be able to escape if they dared to charge in.
"Thousand steps, eight hundred steps, six hundred steps, four hundred steps! Two hundred steps! One hundred and ninety steps, one hundred and eighty steps!" Xiliang iron cavalry is getting closer and closer to Lu Meng's best shooting range. The hand has been raised high, once it falls, countless arrows will rain out,
"Let go!" Before Lu Meng could utter the word let, it got stuck in his Adam's apple.
"Retreat!" The command flag in Zhang Liao's hand changed direction again. Under Zhang Liao's sneer, the five thousand heavy armored cavalry and Xiliang cavalry suddenly changed direction, like a giant steel beast suddenly braked and stopped. Same, one hundred and fifty steps, any closer is the best range for a hard bow. At such a distance, even with heavy armor, the bow and arrow can penetrate the first layer of iron armor. They were shot through, and these Xiliang cavalry were covered with heavy armor, but those war horses did not. These war horses are also very difficult to survive under the rain of arrows. It is a law to shoot people first and shoot horses.
But just beyond these one hundred and fifty steps, no more and no less, the Xiliang iron cavalry turned around directly and left the range of this hard bow. This feeling made Lu Meng extremely embarrassed and uncomfortable. It's about to shoot, you ran away suddenly, what's the matter with you? Many soldiers of the Chu army pulled their hard bows to the maximum, and their mental strength was extremely concentrated, but you didn't even go! Some soldiers couldn't even hold back, and shot out the bows and arrows in their hands, but how powerful such bows and arrows would be in front of the Xiliang cavalry, only one unlucky ghost was scratched by this bow and arrow on the face.
"Fall the bow!" Lu Meng asked his subordinates to accept the hard bow in their hands.
"Look, General?!" But how long has it been since Lu Meng lowered his bow and arrow! The Xiliang iron cavalry who had already turned the corner over there started charging towards Maolin again, shouting.
"Raise the bow!" Lu Meng shouted again, this time without Lu Meng opening his mouth, each archer raised the hard bow in his hand, "Come, come! Two hundred steps, shoot!" Lu Meng shouted, this time He wants his subordinates to pull the hard bow in their hands to the maximum. In the war of the cold weapon era, you will not go all out at the beginning, because the battle is long-lasting, and it may take half a day to fight. If you go straight up and go all out, then you are Can't survive, so usually the first contact is 80%, or even lower 60%. Just now, Lu Meng made these Chu troops under his command reach 80%. He originally planned to give Xiliang cavalry a ruthless meeting gift, but who knows , but was tricked!
This time Lu Meng didn't care about it. He went all out and pulled his bow slowly. This way, he could reach two hundred steps. Shooting the bow and arrow in his hand at a distance of two hundred steps would also cause greater damage. Fifty steps to turn, then they are going to leave a lot of corpses before leaving!
"Thousands of steps. Eight hundred steps, six hundred steps, four hundred steps!" Not only was Lu Meng counting the distance between the Xiliang iron cavalry and the Chu army and the Jiangdong army's stronghold, Zhang Liao was also counting the distance in the opposite position. .
"Three hundred steps, two hundred and fifty steps, two hundred steps!" The order flag in Zhang Liao's hand waved again.
"Brothers, bullshit!" Zhang Hu and Ge Jun shouted at the same time, and the entire Xiliang iron cavalry was divided into two groups, each turning.
"Two hundred steps, two hundred steps!" Now Lu Meng's Jiangdong army was dumbfounded again, Ma De, it wasn't the agreed one hundred and fifty steps, why now it has become two hundred steps, this is a war, isn't it? Just teasing you.
"General Lu Meng, do you really want to shoot us, haha, don't send it away! Haha" those Xiliang cavalry turned around, leaving the horse's buttocks completely to Lu Meng's army, and there was also laughter. Zhang Hu laughed arrogantly, one hundred and fifty steps, two hundred steps, these were all calculated by Zhang Liao, he really convinced Zhang Liao this time, Zhang Hu and the others used to charge forward in a single-minded manner in battle, Relying on the power of the heavy armored cavalry to crush the enemy, just like the one in front of you, you just rush in and fight head-to-head, and everyone fights for their lives together. How can thinking like this be like molesting a big girl, making those enemies with war bows want to wait? Swallow them, but just can't shoot.
"Lu Meng! What will you do next?!" Zhang Liao muttered to himself while looking at the Jiangdong camp opposite. The fighters keep three points, three points to save their lives, and seven points to kill the enemy. Generally, rushing first on the battlefield unless you use force It's too high, otherwise this kind of person must be the first to die in the battlefield. Even if the first wave doesn't die, after a few battles, he will be shrouded in horse leather.
And if you want to survive the battle, you must leave three points of strength. This three points of strength are used to save your life. Lu Meng on the opposite side is very good at using this good law of the battlefield, and Zhang Liao is using Lu Meng to follow this law. The opportunity of the law, 150 steps, this is the range of an eight-point force of a hard bow. If it is within 150 steps, then Zhang Liao's Xiliang cavalry will be unlucky, and the Xiliang cavalry in the front row will definitely be hit by the range , and once one hundred and fifty steps passed, the arrows of those hard bows were not seen by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry at all. The heavy armored cavalry didn't care about those arrows that were weak.
The second time, Zhang Liao managed to capture Lu Meng's heart. He was tricked once, and this time he must fight back, so he decided to go all out, two hundred steps, which is the full strength of a two-stone hard bow. Zhang Liao also wanted to be safe. He gave up dozens of steps, so that Lu Meng was also tricked once.
Twice! There are only three things, Zhang Liao really wants to see if this Lu Meng can't help but pull out the trilogy to fight him, if this is the case, Zhang Liao will laugh like crazy, outside the wilderness, even if it is the Chu army, they have to fight again. In front of the armored cavalrymen lowered their noble heads. Zhang Liao depends on Lu Meng's reaction.
Lu Meng's face was bruised and purple. This is completely naked being molested. Originally, he wanted to play a thousand swords flying for the enemy before the battle, but in the end he became unable to shoot. Out! My every move has long been guessed by others, and it is a ghost to feel comfortable with this kind of feeling.
"General, let's go out a little, so that we can shoot them!" Ling Chao suggested at the side, what he meant was that as long as the Xiliang Iron Cavalry came to charge again, they would also go out and get closer to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, so that they could The shot arrived.
"Gather me the archers of the three-stone bow!" Lu Meng suppressed the anger in his heart. He also wanted to pull the army out like Ling Chao, and fight Zhang Liao on the opposite side, but Lu Meng's reason told him that in the end it would be If he dies, Zhang Liaojun will live on intact. In the end, both his Chu army and Lu Meng will become a joke!
"The whole army is on standby!" Lu Meng issued an order, "No one is allowed to go out without my order!" Lu Meng was afraid that Ling Chao or other generals next to him would be angered and rushed out and added an order! One of the most important things for a general is self-denial! (to be continued..)
