Luo Zhao transmigrated to become Ji Fa's younger brother, King Wu of Zhou, and was ordered to act as regent. Starting from the late Shang and early Zhou dynasties, he established a family that,...
Chapter 613: Kill the general and break the formation, showing fierceness!
Speaking of Pan Feng who came riding over, although he loved to brag, he did look very majestic and had a huge body. It was obvious at first glance that he was a man with supernatural powers.
This kind of general who is born with supernatural powers is extremely powerful in battle even if he does not know martial arts.
Pan Feng's roar was like the roar of thunder, and the man and horse became one, and people in both armies exclaimed in surprise.
This oppressive force is like a mountain pressing down on one's head. He is truly worthy of being called the unrivaled general.
Han Fu looked at his beloved general and saw that everyone was shocked by just a loud roar. It was really proud of his bravery.
He couldn't help laughing and said, "This is my Hebei General. I thought Zhang Jiao was just a country Taoist priest. How could he fight with my Hebei General?"
Luo Xiao didn't care when he heard Han Fu being so arrogant. He moved his neck slightly, and the black Qilin was in tune with his thoughts and rushed forward in an instant.
The Black Qilin is a true thousand-mile horse. At this moment, it is bursting with all its strength and its speed is so fast that its shadow is almost visible.
Within a few breaths, Luo Xiao and Pan Feng almost collided with each other.
When Luo Xiao just started, Pan Feng looked at the black unicorn with surprise in his eyes. Anyone could recognize at a glance that this must be a top-notch thousand-mile horse.
He couldn't help laughing wildly and said, "I'll stab you under your horse. This thousand-mile horse is...
Well……"
The moment the two men passed each other, Pan Feng flew up, the tip of the lance pierced his throat directly, and then lifted him up high.
In an instant, countless amounts of blood flowed out of Pan Feng's mouth. Bright red blood gushed out instantly. Pan Feng's body was extremely strong, but he did not die immediately under such circumstances.
His eyes were full of disbelief, and he didn't understand how he could be killed in one move.
Jiao became angry and stabbed him off his horse with one blow.
If this battle were to go down in history, this would probably be the record. It was so easy.
Luo Xiao curled the corner of his mouth. How could such a weak person dare to be so arrogant?
If he had attacked cautiously, it might have taken several moves to kill him, but he dared to reveal such a big flaw, he deserved to die.
The entire battlefield fell silent almost instantly, even quieter than Luo's storage room.
It was clearly a scene of thousands of troops confronting each other, but only the sound of breathing could be heard. However, the next moment, the sky was filled with noisy sounds.
The Taiping Army shouted the name of the Taoist Master. Although it was very shocking to them, if it was done by the Taoist Master, it would not be surprising. After all, the Taoist Master was like a god!
The Han court's army was cheering just now, but the next moment they saw this scene.
This made all the sounds return to their throats, and everyone's face was filled with confusion and astonishment.
Especially Jizhou Governor Han Fu, he hadn't reacted at all. He was feeling smug the moment before, and the next moment his unparalleled general became a corpse.
Yuan Shao and others in the formation had expressionless faces. From the moment Pan Feng spoke rudely, Pan Feng's fate was doomed, and no one could save him.
Luo Xiao swung the lance heavily, and Pan Feng's body flew out directly, while Mo Qilin went straight into the Taiping Army formation.
Everyone thought that Zhang Jue was going to return to the formation to wait for the next round of battle, but they didn't expect Luo Xiao to suddenly turn around, with a full bow in his hand and the sharp arrow aimed at the Han court formation.
Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei felt as if they were about to die, their scalps went numb instantly, and they immediately wanted to protect Luo Kong and leave.
However, Luo Xiao's target could not be Luo Kong. Luo Xiao shouted, "This is a lesson for your rude words."
After saying that, he loosened the bowstring in his hand, and the arrow shot out instantly. This short distance was just a blink of an eye for the arrow shot by Luo Xiao.
Everyone only heard the sound of the bowstring being loosened, and the next moment, Han Fu, who had just been riding a horse beside everyone, fell off his horse.
The armor seemed to be made of paper, and an arrow that was obviously thicker pinned him to the ground.
The hole, as big as a fist, was bleeding continuously. Before Han Fu could react, pain and despair appeared in his eyes the next moment.
The arrow came so fast that no one could react and Han Fu was already dead.
A loyal prince, the Governor of Jizhou, was killed directly in front of the two armies.
The emperor was also planning to depose Shi and establish Mu. There was a great possibility that Han Fu would be transferred from the Governor of Jizhou to the Mu of Jizhou, which was a real frontier official.
Although his position was below the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, in times of chaos, he was a position of real power that would not be replaced even by the Three Dukes. But now he has no chance.
At the beginning, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan almost died at the hands of Luo Xiao, but they had several powerful enemies to rescue them, so they avoided Luo Xiao's fatal move.
This is the fate of the two people, but Han Fu obviously does not have such a fate.
Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun each pulled one side of Luo Kong and quickly retreated back to the formation, fearing that Luo Kong would die at the hands of Zhang Jue.
The two were secretly shocked in their hearts. Zhang Jiao's strength had increased again, and he even had archery skills. Even the two of them could barely see his archery skills just now.
Luo Xiao's unusually ferocious behavior made the other princes secretly gasp in amazement. They were secretly glad that they did not rush directly to the front of the formation, otherwise they might be the ones dying there.
Huangfu Song looked at this scene and began to doubt his life. He always thought that Zhang Jue was a commander who was similar to himself and could command a large army, but now Luo Xiao suddenly showed such a skill.
Luo Xiao looked at the Han army, whose momentum had instantly dropped, and laughed wildly, asking, "Who else dares to step forward to fight?"
The loyal princes looked at each other, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan all looked at Liu Bei, but Liu Bei remained silent.
Just now Guan Yu told him that Zhang Jue's strength has increased. At the beginning, the four of them besieged Zhang Jue together but still could not defeat him. Now Zhang Jue has become stronger again. If something unexpected happens to his brother, it will be too late for Liu Bei to regret.
Although Wushuang Hou's promise was very tempting, Liu Bei was definitely not the kind of person who would exchange his brothers for wealth and glory.
Seeing this, Cao Cao asked Xu Chu in a low voice with some surprise. Now Xu Chu has become Cao Cao's personal bodyguard, which is basically a quick rise. He has jumped from an unknown person to one of Cao Cao's most valued people.
Neither the Cao nor the Xiahou family were dissatisfied with this. Xu Chu was indeed incredibly strong, and at least several of them were no match for him.
Moreover, they were Cao Cao's clan brothers, so there was no need for them to compete with a general from another family like Xu Chu. No matter how great Xu Chu's contributions were or how strong his abilities were, he could not compete with them.
Xu Chu replied in a low voice: "My lord, Zhang Jiao is a bit stronger than that day. I think Guan Yu told Lord Xuande about it, so Lord Xuande is a bit hesitant."
"Yun Chang."
Cao Cao looked at the majestic and proud figure and couldn't help feeling jealous. He didn't know why, but he just liked Guan Yu for no reason and always felt that he was very much to his liking.
When he heard Xu Chu say that Zhang Jiao had become stronger again, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Zhang Jiao has become stronger again?"
Xu Chu said with a solemn and puzzled look on his face: "It's incredible, but it's true. The Pan Feng just now was quite powerful. If it was Zhang Jiao now, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Miao Cai and others would have died that day. Zhang Jiao killed them all with one move. It's no exaggeration."
Upon hearing this, the generals of Cao and Xiahou families broke out in cold sweats. Zhang Jiao was so terrifying. After hearing what Xu Chu said, Cao Cao did not dare to send Xu Chu into battle. He decided to use a large army to surround and kill Zhang Jiao.
It was naturally even more impossible for Yuan Shao to send Yan Liang and Wen Chou into battle, especially since both of them were still recovering from their injuries.
Those who had fought with Zhang Jue remained calm, but the other princes were a bit stubborn and did not understand the situation, so they sent their men into battle one after another.
But there is no difference, it's just one move, and then they turn into corpses, even three or four people at the same time, it's still one move of chaos shadows, and several people will die instantly.
Luo Xiao attacked several times, and there were nearly ten corpses lying on the ground, and each corpse's face was filled with despair.
The atmosphere on the entire battlefield was stagnant. Luo Xiao was like a god of war. He rode his horse forward and took a step forward. Some Han soldiers even retreated directly. The morale of the Han army had reached a low point.
"Who else?"
Luo Xiao's voice resounded throughout the venue again. His face was clean, but a lot of blood had been spilled on his robe, and the lance in his hand was even more bloodstained. At this moment, he let out a loud roar, which was very horrifying.
This time, no prince was willing to send men to fight. It was too scary. As the saying goes, it is easy to get an army, but it is difficult to get a general. A brave general who can charge into the battle is hard to come by. Zhang Jiao is simply a brave general harvester. Who would be willing to waste a brave general here?
Not to mention that the princes took the initiative to send out their generals, even the generals who requested to fight were directly refused. They should keep things safe and not cause trouble. The strength of our Qinwang Army is far superior to that of the Taiping Army, so of course we must crush them with grand means.
Seeing that no one answered, Luo Xiao asked a third time, but still no one answered. He couldn't help but smile. Although he felt a little regretful that he couldn't fight with more powerful people, the fact that the loyal princes of the Han court did not dare to accept the challenge was another heavy blow to morale.
Luo Xiao rode his horse back to the center of the army. The vanguards had already begun to advance on each other. Soldiers on both sides held up shields, and behind the shields were archers. They advanced all the way into the range of crossbows. The archers began to shoot, and the officers commanded the soldiers layer by layer to keep moving forward with their shields held high in the rain of arrows.
In a large-scale battle, formation is always the most important thing. The more chaotic the formation, the greater the loss.
As soon as the battle started, Huangfu Song could feel that the Taiping Army was much more elite than he had imagined. This was definitely not simply because Zhang Jue was good at commanding troops, but was the order that naturally came about because of the Taiping Army's extremely high level of organization.
Rounds of arrows continued to be fired at the back row of the enemy formation. Because the front row had now come into contact with each other, they did not directly fall into a melee, but continued to attack forward in rows, with every five to ten people gathering into a small team and attacking together.
Whoever disrupts the opponent's line first will win the victory for this battalion, which will in turn affect the entire battlefield situation and thus affect the final outcome.
Why is a general who can command the troops sometimes more important than a strategist who draws up plans? Because there are many factors that determine whether the strategist's plan can be implemented, and ultimately everything depends on the general who commands the troops.
Whether a frontal battle can be won, there are countless complex information on the battlefield, what orders should be issued and when, whether the situation is urgent enough to use the reserve forces, the direction of the main attack, whether you can withstand the huge pressure and execute your own strategy, and when you should make adjustments.
These are all things that a battlefield commander needs to consider. At this point, advisers basically can't provide much help.
Of course, the top military commanders are basically very good at commanding troops and military strategies. They are not only generals who command troops, but also strategists who draw up plans.
Command is an art. When facing the inhuman Xiang Yu, Han Xin was the only one who could restrain his charge through his own command.
Luo Xiao calmly commanded each battalion of soldiers to form a formation that could tear apart the Han army. The battle on the battlefield was intense, but the central armies of both sides were relatively calm. It would be impossible to determine the winner if the fight continued like this.
But even so, the shock that Luo Xiao brought to the loyal princes was already great, because in terms of the generals of each camp, the Taiping Army was inferior to the loyal princes.
Although Guan Yu and others did not take action, the army to support the king was still composed of many generals.
The general who was insignificant in Luo Xiao's hands was like a killing god when facing others.
This is the strength of the imperial court. Why Huangfu Song was so confident was because he knew very well how powerful the imperial court would be once it exerted its strength. Even if these hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated, he could take the emperor and the ministers to escape to Chang'an, and then recruit hundreds of thousands of troops to continue fighting the Taiping Army.
There are countless brave generals who can charge into the battle line in the Sanhe area alone. How many Han men can charge into the battle line in Jizhou and Hebei?
The power of those powerful aristocratic families in the local area was no weaker than that of the imperial court. This certainly weakened the power of the imperial court, but the advantage was that these people had a group of talents who were no less capable than the imperial court officials.
The imperial court did not recruit these people, but they could serve in prefectures, counties, and even counties, which meant they had entered the official system of the Han Dynasty.
Although these people usually do not get along with the imperial court, as long as the imperial court is willing to extend an olive branch, they will definitely stand on the side of the imperial court immediately.
Having numerous counselors and thousands of generals is not just talk. Although the Taiping Army is growing rapidly, its generals are just these leaders. How can they fight against the Han Dynasty?
If the Taiping Army wants to win, it needs to do more than just defeat the central court, but also defeat the vast majority of the talented people in the world.
Who can do this?
Luo Xiao naturally didn't know what Huangfu Song was thinking, but he used practical actions to tell Huangfu Song that it was true that no one in this world could defeat the world alone, but I didn't need to defeat the world.
As the fighting between the two sides became more intense, the formations of each other's camps began to become chaotic and collapsed, and flaws appeared in the eyes of the commanders of both sides.
The cavalry of both sides began to run and maneuver gradually. Luo Xiao was fully armed and wore a visor. There has always been a debate about who is more invincible between Han Wumu and Xiang Wang. So who is Han Wumu and Xiang Wang?
