There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Lu Bu reacted very quickly, and hurriedly turned around and raised his painting halberd to resist.

With a loud bang, the eardrums of the surrounding soldiers seemed to burst.

It was a general of Cao Jun.

Ma Chao turned his head, looked at Lai Jiang panting, and then called out in surprise, "Pound?"

Chapter 833 One Wave After Another

Lu Bu was greatly surprised by Pound's appearance, not because of the special appearance of the man in front of him, but because of the strength of the knife in his hand, which is beyond comparison to ordinary people.

As soon as an expert makes a move, he will know whether it is there or not. In Lu Bu's opinion, Pound's method is really quite good. With the knife just now, Lu Bu feels that he is not inferior to Ma Chao.

Pang De was a school lieutenant under Ma Teng back then, and within a few years of joining the army, he made several military exploits under Ma Teng's command, and was promoted to school lieutenant not long after.

Originally, he was under Ma Teng's command, and with the passage of time, he would definitely be able to take the position of Ma Teng's right-hand man, but it is a pity that in the Battle of Chang'an, Ma Teng was beaten enough by Cao Cao, and his soldiers and horses were lost. , Even Pound was captured alive by Cao Cao and became a fierce general under his command.

It's a pity that Ma Teng's rare good seedlings are so cheap to Cao Cao.

When Ma Chao saw Pound, he was heartbroken, but right now he was really suffocated, and it would be too much of a disadvantage for him to continue fighting with Lu Bu.

In desperation, Ma Chao withdrew towards the inner formation of his own Heaven, Earth and Three Talents formation.

Pound immediately pulled out his hand and fought against Lu Bu.

Lu Bu had fought Ma Chao for a while before, and now he was fighting Pound again. He was somewhat weak, but he had a strong nature and was unwilling to retreat, so he gritted his teeth and fought fiercely with Pound.

Zhao Yun directed the soldiers to charge in the rear, and at the same time broke into a cold sweat for Lu Bu.

Zhao Yun is also a warrior. He understands Lu Bu's current mood, but he also has confidence in Lu Bu's ability.

Right now, he himself only needs to prepare for Lu Bu.

It's not just Lu Bu's side, Xu Chu and Dian Wei, A Fei and Zhang Fei, Xu Huang and Guan Yu have already handed in their hands.

Among them, Xia Houyuan and Huang Zhong are the most eye-catching pair of confrontational generals.

The two men and their soldiers will be in the most southeast corner of the formation, where the range of formation changes is not large, so both of them will display their soldiers and horses in place and will not move them.

Both of them used the shield soldiers as the forerunner, and the crossbowmen as the rear army. They were displayed in a corner of the battlefield and fired at each other continuously.

Some of Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses held bows, while others held continuous crossbows, but it was strange that some soldiers of the Xiahouyuan army on the opposite side also used continuous crossbows.

The soldiers under Huang Zhong's command asked Huang Zhong: "General Huang, the last time General Zhao and Liu Bei faced each other, the Jingzhou Army under his command had Liannu soldiers. How come Cao Jun also has Liannu soldiers now?"

Huang Zhong chuckled and said, "There's nothing to wonder about. It's no secret that the Jinling Liannu has shaken the world for many years, and it's been used many times. Although Jinling tried its best to keep the design method of the Liannu secret, the Prime Minister once said that the world is There is nothing that cannot be imitated, the Jinling Liannu has been around for so long, and it has only been imitated until now, which is considered slow."

The lieutenant nodded half-understanding.

Huang Zhong said again: "Besides, our Liannu is loaded with ten consecutive shots. Although Cao Liu's Liannu can also fire consecutively, it is only five or six consecutive. This technology is still inferior to ours. Imitation is only imitation after all. , not on the stage."

Before Huang Zhong could finish his words, sharp arrows roared from the opposite side, passing Huang Zhong's face and piercing the shield of a large shield soldier behind him, making a heavy muffled sound.

The shield soldier couldn't stand still, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Protect General Huang!"

"Cover General Huang!"

There was a commotion among Huang Zhong's soldiers, and they rushed to Huang Zhong to protect him from the arrows.

The scene just now was too dangerous.

Huang Zhong didn't take it seriously, he stretched out his hand to push away the guards protecting him, and looked towards the opposite formation with great interest.

According to his calculations, the place he was in belonged to his own rear formation, and it was impossible for the opponent to shoot the arrow to this distance.

But the other party did shoot!And the strength is still so great, it seems that he is a master of archery.

Huang Zhong looked from the direction where the arrow came from, but he could vaguely see a general in the opponent's formation, a blue-robed and bronze-armored general, standing there without any concealment, demonstrating towards this side.

If the guess is correct, that person should be Xia Houyuan.

Huang Zhong nodded with a smile: "It's a character."

The lieutenant behind him swallowed lightly, and he said in a low voice, "How much strength does it take, how many crossbows can you shoot here?"

Huang Zhong said casually: "Probably three stone bows or four stone bows."

"Ah?" Hearing that, the deputy general couldn't close his mouth.

He had heard of someone who could open a four-stone bow, but he had only heard about it, but he had never seen it.

What kind of a heavenly being is that?

The deputy general's expression fell into Huang Zhong's eyes.

He smiled indifferently and said, "Bring the old man's five-stone bow!"

"Ah?" When the deputy general heard Huang Zhong's words, his figure was crooked, and he almost fell off his horse.

He wants to open a five-stone bow?This old man is not joking, is he?Just his old arms and legs.

"Don't make trouble, general, the two armies are in front of the battle, but they are too embarrassed to act rashly!"

Huang Zhong laughed loudly: "Don't worry, the old man has lived for more than 50 years and has never done such bluffing. Since I asked you to bring it, I naturally have some confidence."

When I was young, the soldiers brought the five-stone bow.

Five-stone bows are rare compared to two-stone bows, not because they cannot be pulled, but because the materials for making such powerful bowstrings are very rare in this era.

The so-called five stones do not refer to the weight of the bow, but the pulling force and shooting power of the bowstring.

Huang Zhong picked up the bow, stretched his arms, squinted his eyes to look at Xia Houyuan's direction, and then ordered someone to take a special arrow.

The five-stone bow has a very strong pulling force, and the arrows used are naturally not ordinary arrows.

Huang Zhong pulled the five-stone bow away vigorously, aimed at Xia Houyuan on the opposite side, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Go!"

When the words fell, I saw that sharp arrow shot out of Huang Zhong's hand quickly, and roared towards the army formation opposite, with an extremely terrifying momentum.

Xia Houyuan couldn't help being taken aback when the arrow rushed towards him.

He hastily turned over and barely dodged the sharp arrow in Huang Zhong's hand, but the speed of dodging was somewhat slow.

The sharp arrow finally scratched his cheek, and blood flowed from Xia Houyuan's face in an instant.

"This, this..." Xia Houyuan didn't know whether he was shocked or angry, and his words were a little awkward.
