Chapter 147
"It actually succeeded?" Liu Pan looked at the charge of the iron cavalry that stopped and then became a living target with overwhelming rain of arrows. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Liu Pan couldn't figure it out that Pang Tong, a seemingly ridiculous idea, would succeed.
"In this case, even if Ma Chao can forcefully come over, he will be unable to do anything!" Huang Zhong couldn't stop his surprise and sighed, "Pang Tong's wisdom and strategy are really unimaginable to be able to set up such a bold strategy; if you dare to use such a bold strategy, Zhang Fei's courage is rare in the world... Zhang Fei, Pang Tong is so good-fit, no wonder he can sweep across Jiangdong!"
"...Well!" Wen Pin nodded, agreeing with Huang Zhong's analysis, but his eyes were always staring at the dense arrow formation in the distance.
Wen Pin has seen ten thousand arrows firing at the same time. In fact, when the Jingzhou Army attacked Jiangdong, there were 20,000 archers who shot volleys to suppress the opponent's city, but he believed that he had never seen such a neat arrow formation. Each wave was shot at almost the same time, and the interval between each shot was almost the same, endless.
Wen Pin imagined how suffocating it would be to be covered by such an arrow formation unscrupulously.
"Dou~~Dou~~!" At this moment, the thunderous sound of the ox horns came over.
Wen Pin was excited and said happily: "It's finally our turn to do it!" After watching the battle for so long, Wen Pin's palms were itchy, and he wished he was the one who fought against the enemy now.
A glimmer flashed in Huang Zhong's eyes, and when he turned around, he saw the central army's commander flag dancing continuously and issued an order to attack. At the same time, the war drums that had been silent for a long time in Kuai Yue's army also rumbled.
After greeting Liu Pan, Huang Zhong shouted in his vigorous and powerful voice: "As soon as the orders are taken, the archers line up to avoid the trap and move closer to the friendly forces in the middle!"
Following Huang Zhong's command, 3,000 archers in the middle of the left-wing Jingzhou Army began to move closer to the friendly forces in the middle to bring them closer to Ma Chao's Iron Cavalry in order to shoot.
The Jingzhou Army on the other wing also began to move towards the middle under the same order.
.
"The enemy cavalry in front of the target, suppress the shooting!" As soon as he arrived at the designated position, Huang Zhong issued an attack order without hesitation. The same was true for the other wing of Jingzhou Army.
"Yes~Yes~Yes~Yes~!" Another 6,000 archers joined the attack, and the rain of arrows pouring in the sky had reached an astonishing level.
.
"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!" Li Yan's expression was extremely excited, and he raised his arms again and again, falling heavily again and again.
The powerful crossbowmen overcame their fear of going to the battlefield, and their movements became more and more proficient. They tirelessly repeated the movements of the arrow-opening-string-stringing, and they were eager to create a miracle.
Before the war started, Commander Li Yan told the strong crossbow soldiers in the entire camp that Ma Chao's Iron Cavalry is a myth of the ground and an undefeated myth! But in this battle, the general will lead them to completely break this myth, and the strong crossbow soldiers are the executors who break the myth.
When he thought that the undefeated myth of Ma Chao's Iron Cavalry would end in his hands, all the powerful crossbow soldiers were full of blood.
No matter what happened ahead, he only knew that under the unified command of Li Yan, he used the crossbow in his hand to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
The generals Chen Dao, Zhu Huan, Hao Zhao, etc., who were commanding the shield soldiers and spearmen at the forefront to deal with the enemy's direct attack, were also stunned by the scene in front of them. At the same time, they were so excited that their whole body trembled slightly.
Arrows like storms roared from their heads and continued to flow. The cavalry that was originally surging and surging, as if they were going to swallow them, ran around like a headless fly 150 steps away in front of the formation. Rows of cavalry were nailed to the ground by arrow rain, and many cavalry were even shot into porcupines.
The scene was shocking and bloodthirsty, but it gave people an inexplicable sense of excitement.
Everyone believes that this battle will be won———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
.
"Military leader, you can't continue to fight. Retreat!" Pang De couldn't bear to see the iron cavalry being ravaged by the enemy's rain of arrows, and quickly advised Ma Chao. Just now, Pang De took the time to look back and took a look, almost stunned by the tragic situation in front of him.
The iron cavalry who stopped moving forward was a living target for the enemy crossbowmen. Under the uninterrupted rain of arrows, all resistance was futile.
Although the Iron Cavalry soldier is brave, Pang De's skills are more than 100,800 miles apart than Ma Chao. One arrow can block it. But what about ten arrows? What about a hundred arrows? Especially those Jue Zhang crossbows with a range of nearly 700 steps.
Almost most of the Iron Cavalry can be covered, and none of them is safe.
Without Ma Chao's orders, the Iron Cavalry soldiers did not dare to retreat without authorization, and could only make unnecessary blocking.
Pound's mind was blank and he couldn't remember how long it took, but the fallen cavalry (including those who were knocked down) probably had less than 2,000 cavalry, or even more.
If you continue to waste like this, the Ma family army's final family fortune will be thrown into Jiangling!
Although I knew that Ma Chao was unwilling to give in, Pang De had to speak out and dissuade him!
"..." Ma Chao's eyes were filled with blood, his lips were slightly opened, his upper and lower gums were clenched together, and his mouth made a low roar of wolf, giving people a feeling of anger that was desperate to choose people and devoured the evil wolf.
The rapidly waving Tianlang rifle formed an impenetrable light curtain in front of Ma Chao, and all the arrows shot at him were flew away by the light curtain.
"Ma Chao, do you want to throw all the brothers from Liangzhou here? Do you want to ruin the Ma family's final family's wealth?" Seeing that Ma Chao seemed to have not heard of it, Pang De's dark face showed a strange anger and scolded desperately, "Don't you want to avenge the old military leader? Are you still the descendant of the god?"
As soon as he heard the words "Old Army Leader", Ma Chao's expression changed slightly, and he seemed to have recovered a little calm, but his movements could not help but slow down. Eight feather arrows roared in the air.
Since it was too late to block, Ma Chao could only try to avoid it. His body immediately moved around and avoided 6 of them. The other one was slanted by Ma Chao's head and mouth, but in the end the arrow could not escape it.
Seeing the strong arrow piercing Ma Chao's chest, a big sword on the door arrived in time and slashed the arrow away.
Without looking, Ma Chao knew that it was Pang De who saved him. He just stood up straight, but suddenly heard a muffled groan from Pang De. Turning his head sharply, Ma Chao was shocked to find that Pang De's right thigh was stabbed into by two feather arrows, and the tail of the arrow was still shaking.
Knowing that Pang De ignored his defenses in order to save himself, a person like Ma Chao couldn't help but feel a little trembling.
Listening to the wailing cry and wailing sounds behind him, the light of his eyes caught another round of arrow rain coming. Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said with great reluctance: "Retreat, retreat, retreat at full speed!"
As he protected Pang De, Ma Chao pulled his horse back to the north, and kept giving a stern order to retreat.
The Iron Knights, who had been shot by the terrifying rain of arrows, heard Ma Chao's retreat order and quickly turned their horses in relief, and rushed to the north with desperate rushing.
Under the pressure of the rain of arrows, the panicked cavalry inevitably had certain collisions. As long as there was a slight slowness, their lives would be difficult to save.
.
The rumbling sound of horse hooves gradually faded away. I raised the snake spear in my hand high, and the horn soldier immediately blew the horn. The powerful crossbowman who heard the order relaxed his nerves and stopped his movements.
At this time, many crossbows, the archers found that their arms were already sore and soft. The frequency of shooting in the second half was getting faster and faster. Even if they practiced skillful crossbows, the archers could not bear it.
I just had an uplifting spirit to support me and seemed to feel tired, but when the enemy retreated, once my nerves relaxed, the feeling of fatigue immediately emerged.
"Oh~oh~oh~oh!" I don't know who started, but tens of thousands of soldiers cheered in unison, regardless of whether it was our army or Kuai Yue's army.
Before the start of this battle, the invincible myth of Ma Chao's Iron Cavalry was heavily pressed on everyone's heart, making many people pessimistic about the outcome of the battle.
Although a series of events occurred greatly boosted the morale of the army during the subsequent battle, some people were still reluctant to believe their eyes until the final victory was finally achieved.
The invincible cavalry was defeated like this?!! After leaving behind thousands of corpses, they fled in panic!!! And the casualties of the coalition forces were actually zero?!!!
"Invincible! Invincible! Invincible!" Tens of thousands of soldiers of our army shouted in unison, shouting the same person, shocking the sky.
Gan Ning was roaring! Chen Da, Li Yan, and Hao Zhao were roaring! Even Zhu Huan, who had just surrendered for a few months, completely threw away the shadows in his heart and started roaring with the maximum volume he could achieve...
The majestic and passionate "invincible" shouts echoed in the sky over and over again, and it lasted for a long time...
.
Not far away, thousands of horses were lying on the slightly cold soil. The blood had dyed the earth red, and the original loess had become terribly soil.
The rich smell of blood continued to spread on the battlefield. Two or three masterless war horses who escaped the invasion of arrows stood in a silence where the master was lying on his corpse. The horse's hooves were gently lifted up, touching the corpse on the ground, trying to awaken his master, and his mouth made a desolate neighing from time to time...
In the west sky, the sunset is slowly falling into the horizon, and the last afterglow is red, reflecting the earth, cities, plants and people...
The setting sun is like blood...

A hundred battles to conquer the tiger,
