Chapter 104
The earth has just returned to spring, the wheat seedlings are growing vigorously, and the wilderness is lush.

In the boundless Jiangxia field, a low and desolate horn sounded suddenly. Amidst the loud and long sound of the horn, a group of banners waving in the wind slowly came, covering the original green of the wilderness.

Zhang Fei straddled the horse comfortably, squinting his eyes and looking ahead.

"Report!"

"General, ten miles ahead is Xiling City."

Xiling?

A cold flame flashed in Zhang Fei's eyes. The last time he failed, this time he was determined to take down Xiling City. When he turned his head, he saw smoke and dust behind him, and the iron flow was surging.

The dense figures of his subordinates were like a sea of ​​smoke, and the red sakura on the helmets gathered into a sea of ​​red. Under the bright colors, they burned with a suffocating and murderous aura.

"Report!"

Another scouting horse galloped forward, dragging billows of smoke and dust.

"General, the enemy is found five miles ahead!"

Zhang Fei was refreshed when he heard the words, and asked, "How many people are there?"

"A total of more than five thousand people! Divide into five teams!"

"Five thousand heads?"

A greedy and cruel murderous intent flashed across Zhang Fei's face, and he shouted loudly: "Beat the drums, line up, and prepare to fight!"

"Boom!"

The passionate sound of war drums rushed into the night, and Zhang Fei's orders were passed on like flowing water.

Under the scolding of the officers, the advance of the soldiers stopped abruptly, and then slowly spread out to the two wings.

In less than a quarter of an hour, they were already arranged in a battle formation, with heavy infantry in front, light infantry in the middle, archers and baggage troops in the rear, and only a few hundred light cavalry divided into left and right teams to protect the flanks of the army.

Five miles away, an eagle flitted across the sky screaming, looking down at the ground indifferently, searching for any possible prey.

"call out!"

A sharp arrow pierced the sky and hit the eagle's chest accurately. With a scream, the eagle flapped its wings and fell from the sky. A powerful arm stretched out and held the eagle in its hand.

"what……"

The proud and vigorous long laughter resounded through the sky, Huang Zhong threw the eagle to the guards behind him, patted the horse and galloped forward, billows of smoke rose from under the horse's hooves, and the fierce pride burned endlessly in his chest.

"Beautiful!"

Huang Zhong reined in the horse's reins, the horse hissed sadly and stood up, kicking the ground with its hind legs several times before stopping the charge.

Huang Zhong turned his horse's head vigorously, squinted his eyes and looked behind him, and saw more than [-] soldiers under his command gathered into a huge army formation, sweeping all over the mountains and plains.

"Report!"

A scout horse came galloping.

Huang Zhong's face darkened, and he said coldly: "Speak!"

"General, Liu Beijun is found five miles ahead!"

"how many people?"

"4000 people!"

"Only 4000 people?"

A contemptuous smile flashed across Huang Zhong's face, and he said lightly: "God help me, this old man is going to use a hearty victory to tell Liu Bei that this Xiling City will be his lifelong nightmare."

"Send me an order to launch an attack immediately, and the whole army advances!"

Liu Bei wanted to attack Xiling, how could Huang Zhong let him get his wish? Huang Zhong dared to go out of the city to meet the enemy, so he had a perfect strategy!
Zhang Fei's slightly squinted eyes opened suddenly, and he saw billows of smoke and dust rising from the boundless horizon ahead, sweeping from the horizon.

"Is it finally time to start?"

Zhang Fei muttered to himself, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The messenger who had been standing by Zhang Fei's side quickly raised the command flag in his hand and waved it vigorously twice. In an instant, the entire army formation was operating in an orderly manner like a huge machine.

"Heavy infantry! Forward!"

"Vertical shield!"

"boom!"

More than [-] heavy armored infantry lined up in five rows, with more than a hundred people in each row, rushed forward hundreds of steps, and then smashed the thick shield in their hands on the ground. It has been built, firmly protecting the light infantry and archers in the rear.

"Archers! Forward!"

More than [-] archers trotted past the light infantry and came to line up behind the shield wall of the heavy infantry.

"Longbow ready!"

The archers untied the longbows on their backs that were nearly one person high and put them on their sides with indifferent expressions. One after another, they cast cold eyes on the officers standing in front of the formation. Guang stared closely at the messenger standing beside Zhang Fei in the rear formation. He was waiting, waiting for Zhang Fei's military order.

"kill!"

Huang Zhong roared, and swung the tiger-headed broadsword in his hand forward fiercely.

"kill!"

The shouts of killing were louder and louder. In just a moment, Zhang Feijun was no more than a thousand steps away from the formation. The overwhelming momentum made many volunteer soldiers who had never been on the battlefield behind Zhang Feijun start to gasp.

However, Zhang Feijun's heavy armored infantry at the forefront of the formation turned a blind eye to the tide of enemies.

These people are all veterans who have followed Liu Bei and survived hundreds of battles. They have long been used to seeing all kinds of momentum, and they can be regarded as elites.

Behind the heavy armored infantry formation, the formation of the archers also stood still, the arrows were on the strings, and the bows were in their hands. The archers looked at the front coldly and blankly, waiting quietly, waiting for the sound. Cold order.

"Kill it!"

A thousand steps!

Two hundred steps!
One hundred steps!

In the rear of the army, the orderly standing beside Zhang Fei waved down the triangular command flag in his hand.

The officer standing in front of the formation of archers slashed down the iron sword he held high without hesitation. Almost at the same time, a mournful howl resounded through the formation, which actually overshadowed the din of the flood, clearly sent into the ears of every archer.

"Fire arrows!"

The buzzing sound of the bow string being tense was heard continuously, and in an instant, five hundred sharp spikes and arrows had already pierced through the air. After flying in the air for more than a hundred steps, they spread into a vast expanse and fell from the sky like raindrops. , with a sharp scream, it fell on the heads of Huang Zhong's troops in an instant.

Hundreds of soldiers died under the arrows.

The news of the former army's defeat came like water, Huang Zhong's expression was gloomy, and there was no sign of any strangeness, the good show had just begun.

"Kill, kill!"

Zhang Fei's chest was full of fighting spirit, and he rode his horse and spear, and galloped across the open field.

Behind Zhang Fei, more than a hundred Qingqi followed around, chasing and killing the fleeing soldiers of Huang Zhong like melons and vegetables.

"Kill, kill these rebels!"

"Ten head rewards are consistent!"

Zhang Fei roared, and turned his head suddenly. Except for the heavy soldiers, the rest of the army was covering up the mountains and plains, like a raging flood sweeping across the land.

Zhang Fei was about to kill, and suddenly there was a piercing sound in his ears and heart.

"Wow!"

Three short and one long, the strange sound of horns suddenly sounded from the front, and the loud and clear sound of the horn passed through the distant void and was clearly sent to Zhang Fei's ears.

Zhang Fei tried his best to rein in the horse, looked around and said, "Where is the sound of the horn?"

A small principal listened for a moment, and said in a concentrated voice: "Third General, the horn is coming from the front."

"Look!"

A sharp-eyed junior suddenly screamed, "Cavalry, it's a cavalry!"

cavalry?

Zhang Fei's heart beat violently. He put his hands on the awning and looked ahead. He saw a thick black line rising up on the horizon in the distance. It was slowly squirming. His majesty.

In just a moment, the wriggling black line became much thicker.

A dark cloud flashed across Zhang Fei's mind, and he asked in a deep voice: "There are as many as a thousand cavalry in front of us, and such a large cavalry is approaching within ten miles of our army. It is not ridiculous to distinguish between friends and foes. Why is it so long to see you?" To visit Ma Lai?"

An officer rode forward anxiously, and said to Zhang Fei: "Three generals, the last general just remembered that there are countless scouting horses who have not returned so far. They may have been killed, so they have not reported back."

Zhang Fei said smugly, "Since you haven't returned after the time limit, why didn't you report earlier?"

The officer said tremblingly: "The last general is negligent, please punish him."

Zhang Fei said harshly: "Forget it, we will discuss this matter later. Judging from the situation, this cavalry army is not an enemy but a friend. I just wonder when Yuan Thief had such a large cavalry army? It is really shocking! "

"Immediately send an order to my general to stop the pursuit of the whole army, and line up on the spot, ready to fight!"

The desolate horn sounded, and the thick black line had already turned into hundreds of cavalry, billowing smoke and horses neighing in the sky, sweeping towards the chaotic Zhang Fei army like a stormy sea!
"It's just a bunch of incompetent people!"

Zhang Fei's loud roar pierced the air, and the rumbling hoofbeats could not cover up his sharp voice.

"The whole army listens to the orders, the spearmen march forward, reject the horse formation, the heavy armored infantry is in the middle to protect, and the archers!"

"Archers quickly replenish arrows!"

An officer responded cautiously: "Three generals, the supply team is still behind, and the arrows cannot be replenished for the time being."

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, and immediately shouted: "Likemen advance!"
