Chapter 282: Seizing the Leader! [Subscribe]

Arrows fell from the air in rows, making sharp and piercing sounds.

The sight of men and horses being nailed to the ground together was definitely the most horrifying nightmare the Xianbei soldiers had ever seen.

In addition to Zhang Liao's troops, Taishi Ci also rode his horse slowly and began to approach the battlefield.

His hands were so fast that they were completely invisible. He took the arrow, drew the bow, and shot, all as swiftly as flowing water.

With the rise of his military fortune and the improvement of his cultivation, Taishi Ci's three arrows in a row when he first entered Cao's camp had turned into six arrows in a row.

The arrows made sharp sounds.

In Tuoboxiongdu, Tuoboben found that his soldiers fell off their horses one after another.

Suddenly, an arrow hit from the flank.

chap!
Tuo Boben drew his sword and slashed, and actually hit the flying arrow.

He was known for his bravery at a young age and was a brave general in the Xianbei army.

He saw Taishi Ci in the distance, shooting his bow as fast as lightning on his horse.

Whenever an arrow was shot, a Xianbei soldier would fall off his horse.

Suddenly, the knife in Tuoboben's hand flashed and hit another long arrow!
Taishi Ci shot this arrow with great force. Not only was the arrow fast, but it also contained greater power.

Although Tuo Boben was hit by the arrow, his arm was numb and his whole body was shocked.

The second arrow, the third arrow, came one after another!

Tuo Boben blocked two arrows in a row.

By the time the third arrow hit him, he was no longer able to strike back, his body shifted sideways, and an arrow wound appeared in his waist and abdomen.

Fortunately, his horse was galloping fast and the troops behind him were intertwined, blocking him inside and blocking Taishi Ci's sight.

The Xianbei soldiers dispersed, and the power of their crossbow and arrow attacks was weakened.

At this time on the battlefield, thousands of Xianbei soldiers were shot dead, and the corpses of men and horses could be seen everywhere.

Zhang Liao's rear troops rushed up in time and held on to the Xianbei troops who wanted to retreat.

The strong crossbow army has stopped shooting.

On horseback, Zhang Liao shouted: "Build a shield bridge and lend me a hand!"

Gao Shunhu roared, "Okay!"

Zhang Liao mobilized his military power and rushed up from his horse like a cannonball, heading straight for the enemy commander.

The last time when they captured Tadun Chanyu, Gao Shun threw out a large shield to help Zhang Liao gain leverage in the air, and the effect was surprisingly good.

After the war, the two discussed it and practiced it specifically, making it a regular item.

At this time, Gao Shun threw out the large shield held by each member of the Xianzhen Camp.

The diamond-shaped heavy shield, like a door panel, was projected into the air by Gao Shun, who gathered the military power of 800 warriors.

"Come again!"

Gao Shun threw several shields.

Zhang Liao used up all his strength to jump into the air, and when he fell, he stepped on the shield, bent his legs, and kicked hard.

The shield fell with a thud, allowing him to use the force again, increasing his speed instead of slowing down.

The second time, the third time.

Zhang Liao rose and fell, approaching the position of the Xianbei commander's flag.

In the study, Cai Yong and others stood up from their seats subconsciously!

On the battlefield, Tuo Boxiong was in chaos and looked up.

Zhang Liao stabbed down like a javelin.

Some Xianbei soldiers threw spears and shot arrows, but they were all blocked by Zhang Liao.

Tuo Boxiongdu also has extraordinary martial arts skills.

He snatched a large spear from the soldier beside him and swung it to knock down Zhang Liao!

"Well done!"

The halberd in Zhang Liao's hand, with the help of the inertia of falling, struck down like lightning.

The weapons of both sides were about to collide.

Clang!
An unexpected scene appeared!

Tuo Boxiongdu's arm shook violently, and the spear almost slipped out of his hand, deviating from its original trajectory.

In the distance, Taishi Ci shot an arrow.

When Tuo Boxiong was protected by his own army, he had no angle of attack.

However, when he swung his spear to attack Zhang Liao.

With the tip of his spear raised, Taishi Ci displayed incredible archery skills.

Only he could seize this fleeting opportunity and shoot the spear tip from a hundred paces away.

This arrow shocked both the enemy and us.

At the moment when Tuo Boxiongdu's spear tip was about to deviate, Zhang Liao's halberd stabbed down.

Tuo Boxiong lost the chance to respond and rolled over to avoid the attack in panic.

His horse became a scapegoat and was pierced straight into the back by Zhang Liao's halberd, nailing him to death.

Zhang Liao used his long spear to pierce the horse's back to support his body, and stretched out a leg horizontally to sweep Tuo Bo Xiongdu sideways.

At this time, Tuo Bo Xiongdu only needed to block Zhang Liao for a while, and his personal troops would rush forward and protect him in the middle.

But in a flash, another arrow shot towards Tuobo Xiongdu who was in mid-air.

A sharpshooter is a threat on the battlefield, like the god of death hanging over a person at any time, asking him why he hasn't died yet!

Tuo Boxiong forced himself to twist his waist and lower his head in mid-air.

In this situation, he actually managed to dodge it.

The arrow grazed the back of his neck, leaving a trail of blood.

But Tuo Boxiong had no time to dodge Zhang Liao's attack and was kicked in the chest.

A violent force poured into his body.

Tuo Boxiong took advantage of the situation and fell over, hoping to fall into the ranks of the royal army.

But Zhang Liao also took advantage of the situation and fell to the ground, stabbed the halberd on the horse's back, swung the horse up and swept it horizontally.

The surrounding troops were in chaos, with horse corpses falling to the ground and smoke and dust rising.

The Xianbei soldiers were horrified to see that the tip of Zhang Liao's halberd had been pulled away from the horse's corpse and landed on the waist and ribs of Tuobo Xiongdu who was injured and falling back.

The moon blade on the halberd was retracted, and Tuo Boxiong staggered with blood dripping from his chest and abdomen.

"Do not…"

His drinking came to an abrupt halt!

Zhang Liao's halberd completed a series of killing moves in an instant.

When the Xianbei army rushed up again, blood marks appeared on Tuobo Xiongdu's throat and eyebrows.

A treasure he used to protect himself, a bone device worn in his hair, was broken, but it could not save his life.

Tuo Boxiongdu slowly knelt down.

He is the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Xianbei, and his status is second only to the great leader of the alliance of tribes. He is now the second most important figure in the Eastern Xianbei.

In fact, in the previous battle between the two armies, Cao's army only had a slight advantage.

The Xianbei showed no signs of defeat.

Even if they were ambushed or attacked by arrows, they would only suffer a defeat at most, which would not affect the war situation. However, the chaos of their retreat gave Zhang Liao an opportunity.

To be precise, it was Zhang Liao, Taishi Ci, and Gao Shun who worked together to create the opportunity and jointly seize the opportunity to become the general!
This is a miracle on the battlefield.

The Xianbei commander who marched south was killed!

For a moment, as Tuo Boxiongdu knelt down and died, the entire battlefield seemed to be quiet.

In the rear, the soldiers in the Xianzhen Camp suddenly burst into earth-shaking cheers.

Then all the Cao army shouted in unison!

Surrounded by enemies, Zhang Liao ran at full speed.

He was a brave general, but he was not yet able to match the strength of thousands of troops. He killed the enemy commander and took advantage of the shock of the surrounding troops to run back.

In the study, Cai Yong, with his hair and beard half white, danced with joy, "My dear brother, your generals are fierce warriors with unparalleled fighting prowess!"

"My dear son-in-law, you command well!"

Cao Cao felt like he was calling two people. A good son-in-law and a good brother, they were integrated in him.

Yu Wen, Tong Yuan, Hua Tuo, Zhang Huai and others also had happy expressions on their faces.

When the troops of the Xianzhen Camp rushed up and joined Zhang Liao, the enemy and us were once again engaged in a melee!
The vast grassland, wolf-like tactical methods, and the coalition formed by various tribes rather than the leadership of a powerful unified regime... These factors determine that the soldiers of the grassland tribes, although not lacking in bravery and ruthlessness, lack cohesion.

They are somewhat like the troops under Yuan Shao's command, which were composed of aristocratic families. Once they encounter headwinds, their morale will be broken.

Because everyone wanted to preserve the strength of their own tribe, no one was willing to fight to the death and exhaust themselves to avoid being annexed.

The commander was killed, and the various troops fled in all directions, howling and wailing, like a pack of wolves without a leader, without any command or control.

Tuo Boben shouted repeatedly, but he was unable to gather his troops.

He glanced at the center of the battlefield, where Zhang Liao's personal army was fighting with Tuobo Xiongdu's personal army.

Failure came so suddenly.

Tuo Boben also urged his horse to join the fleeing crowd.

Throughout the battlefield, the Xianbei people began to disperse and flee in panic, grouped according to their respective tribes.

Cao's army also split up into teams and chased after them with all their might.

In the study, cheers broke out in sync with those on the battlefield.

The old men enjoyed the movie and were in a good mood.

Then they saw a new scene.

Cao Cao pushed the big bird and flew in another direction.

Endless grasslands recede from the perspective of the big bird.

Night falls.

South of the grassland are continuous mountains.

Murong Baizhi's team was still trapped in the mountains.

By the evening, Murong Baizhi could no longer wait.

Their baggage did not allow them to hide in the mountains forever.

"There are still Xianbei soldiers here!"

Cai Yong and others blinked their eyes: "Why are they in the mountains?"

"He went in on his own, intending to fight his way out from behind the mountain, rushing diagonally into the battlefield and becoming a surprise force."

Cao Cao: "We are blocking the mountain pass. They are trapped in the mountains. If they rush out, they will be wiped out. If they don't rush out, they will starve to death."

After looking at the situations in both places, it is certain that we will win this battle against the Xianbei.

Cao Cao was also full of joy.

The victory of this battle was much faster than expected.

When two armies engage in battle, it usually takes several rounds of testing, fighting, and gambling before the winner is determined.

But the performance of Zhang Liao, Taishi Ci and Gao Shun greatly accelerated this process.

He captured the general on the battlefield and broke the mentality of the Xianbei soldiers.

This is the unique role of good generals. They can always seize fleeting opportunities and gain unexpected victories!
On the battlefield, Cao's army and the Xianbei soldiers were chasing each other everywhere.

The grassland tonight was destined to be stained with blood.

Cai Yong and others left satisfied.

After they left, Cao Cao also planned to return to the rear house.

But the personal army sent a message that Xu You requested a meeting.

As it got dark, a lotus-shaped bronze lamp was lit in the study.

Xu You entered the study: "Meng De."

He was wearing dark yellow Hanfu and holding a goose feather fan in his hand, fanning it gently, looking like a famous scholar.

Holding a fan was a fashionable behavior in the late Han Dynasty and was not unique to Prime Minister Zhuge Liang.

Xu You explained his intention: "Someone came to my door and asked me to speak for him."

"Meng De, did you capture the people from the Sun and Liu families in Julu County?"

Cao Cao glanced at Xu You and asked: "Did you accept benefits from others?"

Xu You smiled and avoided answering:
"Meng De, it's understandable that you want to deal with some nobles, but you can't just kill them blindly."

"You have killed too many nobles. If they unite and rebel against you, what will you do? Kill them all?"

"Killing them all... not necessarily."

Xu You: "That's right. If you kill too many, who will work for you? How will you control the various places?"

"Without them, wouldn't it be even more chaotic if the rioters refused to obey the law?"

"In my opinion, the main thing to do with the nobles is to win them over. With your current power, if you are willing to be more friendly to them, they will cooperate with you, and then everyone will get what they need, isn't that good?"

"I agreed to come and lobby for them because it's for your own good, so that your relationship with the nobles won't become too strained and end badly."

"Yuan Benchu ​​did many things wrong, but he was very gentle in dealing with the gentry."

A hint of sneer flashed across Cao Cao's lips.

Thousands of years later, a certain party was composed entirely of large families, numerous factions, and cliques for personal gain.

As a result, the instructors and the people fought together from scratch and, despite being at an absolute disadvantage, they managed to defeat the enemy's planes and artillery.

Therefore, joining forces with the nobles and exploiting the people was destined to lead to a miserable defeat from the very beginning.

History has proven time and again that the aristocracy's approach does not work.

If the people are pushed into a corner, it will turn into a mudslide and submerge everything.

The nobles may seem powerful, but they are actually paper tigers.

"I am a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong, so I must rely on the common people and suppress the nobles."

Cao Cao said something that Xu You didn't quite understand:

"We can't let those people from the Sun and Liu families go. It's only natural that they have to pay the price for their wrongdoings. Ziyuan, it's not so easy to take the money from the nobles. You go."

Xu You frowned slightly, not very satisfied with Cao Cao's attitude.

He was about to speak when Xu Chu came in from outside: "The King of Wei told you to get out, didn't you hear me?"

Xu You was furious: "Meng De, listen to what he said, asking me to get out?"
