    "This kind of military strength is so spectacular"

    As the warship got closer and closer to the Wei army's warship, Xiahou Dun finally felt the huge momentum of the 400,000 Wei army.  .

    ?????????????????????????????????????.

    It is undeniable that Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan are both veteran generals who have experienced the Battle of Guandu. Even Yuan Shao's million-strong army was even greater than this. But when it comes to it, most of Yuan Shao's so-called million-strong army came from Ji,  The soldiers temporarily transferred from the four states of Qing, Bing, and You, perhaps in the first half of the month, these soldiers were still holding long spears and serving as the garrison of a certain city. In fact, many soldiers had hardly encountered several battles, let alone  It's 1 enemy kill.

    To put it bluntly, among Yuan Shao's million-strong army, there are probably only a few hundred thousand who can truly be called elites. However, the Wei army under Zhang Susu's command is different. Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan knew this well. After all, they were the enemy forces in front of them.  Most of the soldiers were once under their command. After all, after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, he recruited his troops, many of whom were elite veterans. As Cao Cao lost power, these soldiers were all owned by Zhang Susu.  That is to say, Zhang Liao killed the generals and captured the horses all the way to Xiangyang, Jingzhou, and defeated the southern army.

    More than 100,000 Pingnan troops, more than 50,000 Qingzhou soldiers, plus more than 200,000 former Jingzhou regular navy troops under Cai Mao's command, this is the composition of the 400,000 Wei troops in front of us at this moment. It has to be said that although they are not as numerous as Yuan Shao back then.  An army of millions.  But its quality.  How can its combat power be compared to that of Yuan Shao?

    "Brother!"

    Next to him, the call of clan brother Xia Houyuan came.

    "Got it!" Xiahou Dun tensed up. As the warship under his feet approached the enemy ship, he jumped up, and with a spear made of fine iron weighing more than 60 kilograms, he slammed the enemy ship's ship.  head.

    With a loud bang, the enemy ship's bow, which was hit by the spear in Xiahou Dun's hand, was completely shattered. The huge bow was more than ten feet high.  It was shattered to pieces in an instant.

    "It's leakingit's leaking, it's leaking!"

    The Wei soldiers on the ship shouted in fright.

    Before they could decide whether to stop Xiahou Dun or try to rescue the half-destroyed warship, Xiahou Dun fired another shot, smashing the huge hull to pieces.

    For a while.  The sounds of crying and panic could be heard endlessly. Countless Wei soldiers cried out and fell into the river, struggling to rise and fall. Looking at them flopping desperately in the water, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

    You must know that if Zhang Susu had not rebelled, these elite men would undoubtedly have become soldiers under Cao generals like him. When he thought of this, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but sigh secretly1,.

    "Brother, get back to the ship quickly!" Xiahou Yuan shouted not far away because he noticed the Wei army warship where Xiahou Dun was standing.  is sinking rapidly.

    After silently looking at the countless Wei soldiers crying and shouting in the river, Xiahou Dun turned his head away and jumped back to his boat.

    He only felt a dull pain in his lost eye.

    Is it a feeling of guilt?

    I¡¯m afraid it is!

    You must know that these Wei soldiers are not Cai Mao's Jingzhou navy, but soldiers from the north. They are probably not accustomed to water. Now that Xiahou Dun has destroyed the warship at their feet, they will undoubtedly have no chance of survival.

    Nearly four to five hundred people boarded the boat, and all of them drowned in the river

    It¡¯s not that Xiahou Dun, a man who was stained with blood in the past, suddenly became a bit womanly. He just felt a little regretful and guilty. He had to know who was in the army.  Especially generals who have been fighting for many years hope that when they die, they will die due to the enemy's defection, which is the so-called death in a military disaster. In their view, this is their best destination.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????? Seen as cowardly, run away.  It is even more disgraceful. Only by dying generously and dying under the enemy's sword can a warrior's life be lived in vain. This does not mean that they can die in peace, at least, they will not feel resentment.

    In Xiahou Dun¡¯s opinion, these hundreds of Wei soldiers should have died dignifiedly on the battlefield and drowned in the river What a pity!

    But, there is no way

    If these Wei warships are not destroyed, Xiahou Dun will not be able to lead the main fleet into the hinterland of the Wei fleet. If these warships are not destroyed, they will not be able to win this battle

    "Boom 1,!"

    Feeling guilty in his heart, Xiahou Dun destroyed another enemy warship. Looking at his mighty and majestic momentum, the morale of the allied soldiers on the ship was shaken.

     On the other hand, although Zhang Fei does not have a martial spirit with huge destructive power like Xiahou Dun, with his arm strength that is unmatched in the world, it is not a problem to destroy a corner of the enemy ship.

    Of course, unlike Chen Chang, both Xiahou Dun and Zhang Fei must have someone behind them to support them. Otherwise, these two great generals may have no choice but to watch themselves sink together with the warship they destroyed.  .

    "Hurry and meet General Zhang!"

    Xia Houyuan noticed that Zhang Fei had successfully destroyed an enemy warship, and immediately ordered the warships nearby to respond.

    As the commander of these dozens of warships, Xia Houyuan is always paying attention to everything around him. After all, he is an archer and his eyesight is outstanding.

    It has to be said that although the Wei army did not notice the collapse of the right-wing defense line at first, and Xiahou Dun, Zhang Fei and others seized the opportunity and took advantage of the situation to enter the formation, but as time went by, the Wei army also made corresponding actions.  Precautions, what's more, the closer to Zhang Susu's location, the stronger the warships on the river will be.

    It is not difficult to imagine that these sturdy warships are all new warships built under the supervision of Cai Mao in Xiangyang in the past six months. With the support of Zhang Susu, Cai Mao made an unprecedented effort to build new ships based on various considerations such as strengthening the hull and improving the toughness of the warship.  The hull is wrapped with a layer of iron.

    "If Jingzhou alone could do this, it would probably be beyond its power, but with Zhang Susu's current power, it is obviously possible.

    This is not true.  gradually.  Xiahou Dun and Zhang Fei's speed of destroying warships became slower and slower. What's more, the two of them gradually felt the difficulty. They often had to repeat their attacks several times before they could destroy a warship wrapped in iron.

    But no matter what, the battle situation finally developed as Xun You expected, until those warships flying black tiger and leopard flags appeared

    "General, there are enemy ships approaching our ship ahead!" The watching soldiers immediately discovered this and reported it to Xia Houyuan.

    "Huh? There are still people who dare to take the initiative to approach our army?" Xia Houyuan was stunned when he heard this, you must know that during this most of an hour.  As more and more warships were destroyed by Xiahou Dun and Zhang Fei, the nearby Wei warships stayed away from these monster-laden warships and only dared to use their bows and crossbows to shoot from a distance, but they did not expect it.  There are also some who are not afraid of death.

    Thinking of this, Xia Houyuan shook his head slightly. However, when he raised his head and looked at the approaching warships in the distance, he felt that something was wrong.

    He was surprised to find that the flags flying on those warships were not the golden tiger flag of the Pingnan Army under Zhang Liao, nor the plain blue battle flag of the Qingzhou Army, nor the yellow background and white flag of the Jingzhou Navy.  It was a flag with white letters on a black background and embroidered with two beasts biting each other.  One on the left and one on the right, tattooed on the battle flag.

    "Tiger and Leopard Rider"

    Xia Houyuan muttered the words on the flag, and then his face showed a bit of surprise.

    What surprised him even more was that the five or six warships were all filled with soldiers wearing black armor. What's more, he felt a great threat from those black armored soldiers.

    If Xia Houyuan hadn't known that the Black Wolf Cavalry had been wiped out in the Battle of Wuchao, he would have had some doubts that the black-armored soldiers in front of him who came from nowhere were the strongest cavalry that was invincible in all battles and captured every attack.  military.

    Under Zhang Susu¡¯s command.  Do you still have this army?

    Xia Houyuan muttered secretly.

    Unlike the other nearby Wei warships, these warships flying the flags of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry appear to be somewhat disordered, well, maybe 1.  He seemed to be disobedient.

    After all, in Xia Houyuan's view, those ships were full of soldiers wearing black armor.  They were not neatly arrayed on the ship like other troops, but stood quite disorderly and chaotic. Some were standing on the bow of the ship, some were sitting on the railings, some were standing on the sails with their hands on the mast, and some were standing on the sail.  Standing on the top of the building ship, there was even a guy standing on the highest point of the main mast.

    what is this?

    Xia Houyuan's face was full of shock.

    Don¡¯t these guys have generals to command them?

    Just as he was thinking to himself, suddenly, the black-armored soldier standing at the highest point of the main mast slowly raised the crossbow in his hand and pointed it at Xia Houyuan from a distance. This made Xia Houyuan both shocked and amused.  .

    But the next moment, Xia Houyuan couldn't laugh anymore. He only heard a scream that broke through the air. The black-armored soldier shot nine arrows at once. Under Xia Houyuan's unbelievable eyes, the arrows each followed a different trajectory.  Flying, and then hitting the target one by one, taking away the lives of the nine soldiers behind Xiahou Dun, one of the arrows even managed to pass by Xiahou Yuan's face, scratching a mark on his face.??Slight blood stains.

    ""

    Like waking up from a dream, Xia Houyuan reached out and touched his slightly painful cheek, then turned his head and glanced at the nine men behind him who fell to the ground dead.

    He is actually a bow general who has awakened his martial spirit, and his strength is almost the same as mine?

    Xia Houyuan is simply unbelievable.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    Huang Zhong, Cao Xing

    Wait 1,!

    As if he had thought of something, Xia Houyuan was shocked and murmured, "Yes, how could I not have thought of it"

    That incredible bow and arrow

    Only one person can do it

    "What's the matter, Miaocai?" Xiahou Dun, who was resting on the board to regain his strength, asked with a frown.

    I saw an ugly smile on Xiahou Yuan's face, looking back at Xiahou Dun and Zhang Fei, "Brother, General Zhang, I think we are in big trouble"

    As soon as he finished speaking, before Xiahou Dun and Zhang Fei could react, suddenly, two soldiers in black armor jumped up from an enemy ship and landed on their ship with a thud.

    "Where is Chen Su?"

    "Is that damn guy on this boat?" After looking around.  The two black-armored soldiers shouted in an almost arrogant voice.

    what happened.  These two pawns?

    Did you name Chen Chang as soon as you came up?

    Xiahou Dun and Zhang Fei looked at each other after hearing this, frowned and asked, "Who are you waiting for?"

    "Yan Liang!"

    "Wen Chou!" the two men shouted in a deep voice.

    As the saying goes, a person's name is like a tree's shadow. Xiahou Dun and Zhang Fei were shocked. They never expected that the two soldiers in black armor in front of them were actually Zhang Jia and Gao Lan who had died in Wuchao.  He is also known as one of the four fierce generals in Hebei Province.

    ¡°Bang bang!¡±

    Before Xiahou Dun and Zhang Fei could react, several more people jumped on the boat. Immediately, Xiahou Dun looked a little shocked1,.  He even showed an ugly look as if he had seen a ghost.

    Hao Meng

    Cheng Lian

    Hou Cheng

    Wei Xu

    Song Xian

    Xia Houyuan swallowed hard and revealed the identities of these people one by one.

    "Huh? Isn't this General Xiahou?" Hao Meng, who had met Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, was the first to say hello.

    Xiahou Dun¡¯s one eye was wide open, looking at Hao Meng in disbelief, and murmuring.  "Hao Hao Meng? Have you not already" As he said that, he glanced at the other people, and was suddenly startled. He said in disbelief, "Did that witch wake up even you and others?"

    "The witch? Is it Prime Minister Zhang?" Hao Meng frowned, and then said with a look of joy, "Ah, it was Prime Minister Zhang who gave me, Hao Meng, the opportunity to wash away my shame" As he said that, he turned around and looked  about.  He frowned and said, "Hey! Isn't Chen Su here?"

    "What are you doing with Mr. Chen?" Zhang Fei said jokingly, "Speaking of which, you were killed by Mr. Chen. Ah, you finally survived, but are you in a hurry to die?"

    ¡°Obviously, Zhang Fei, who had always had a good relationship with Chen Ye, couldn¡¯t stand it when he saw all the dead ghosts in front of him vying to cause trouble for Chen Ye.

    "Zhang Yide" Listening to the sarcasm in Zhang Fei's words.  Hao Meng's face suddenly became extremely embarrassed. Speaking of which, when they were in Xuzhou, they had quite a disagreement because of their different camps.

    "What?" Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully.  "You frown and stare, do you want to take action against me, Lao Zhang?"

    "Hey!" Looking at Zhang Fei's disdainful expression.  A trace of anger flashed in Hao Meng's eyes, and he sneered. Suddenly, his body completely disappeared from the spot, and a second later, he appeared on the left side of Zhang Fei, and hit his waist hard with his right fist.

    This move is

    ?? Chen Xiaozi¡¯s shrinking ground?

    Zhang Fei¡¯s eyes tightened, and he subconsciously gathered energy to move the rigid body.

    "How is it?" Hao Meng chuckled, jumped a few steps back, and then disappeared again.

    "It doesn't hurt or itch!" Zhang Fei snorted coldly, unmoved. From beginning to end, he didn't move a step.

    It¡¯s no wonder, you know, even Chen Su¡¯s tiger cannon can¡¯t make Zhang Fei take a step back, let alone Hao Meng¡¯s fist?

    Compared with the painless attack, Zhang Fei was obviously more concerned about how Hao Meng would master Chen Su's special skills.

    "you¡­How can I use Chen Xiaozi's Shuchi?  "

    "Boy Chen? Do you mean Chen Su?" Hao Meng curled her lips and sneered a few times. After looking at Zhang Fei, she said jokingly, "Ah, yes, why?"

    Listening to the teasing tone, Zhang Fei smiled instead of being angry, slowly raised the snake spear in his hand, and said with a sneer, "It seems you don't want to say much? It doesn't matter, Lao Zhang, I am most interested in prying open those  A tough mouth"

    As he spoke, he shouted loudly, causing the entire warship to tremble, and even the planks on the ship cracked.

    What a fierce anger that is!

    "You guys let's go together!" Zhang Fei said in a deep voice after glancing at the corpses in front of him. At this moment, he had an awe-inspiring fighting spirit, as terrifying as a ghost.

    "What a Zhang Yide!" Seeing Zhang Fei's arrogance, Xiahou Dun was also moved. He took a step forward with a spear in hand and said with a chuckle, "Count me in!"

    Compared with Zhang Fei and Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan was obviously much calmer. It must be said that he was very nervous at this moment because he had realized that all the sergeants of this so-called Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had already fought.  It is composed of the most powerful generals in the world. It is no wonder that these people have no command and obey no one.

    To put it bluntly, Xia Houyuan cares less about Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Hao Meng and others in front of him than he cares about the corpses that have not yet disembarked from those battleships.

    Among those corpse ghosts, some are unfamiliar and some are familiar, but what is certain is that even the weakest among these corpse ghosts is probably close to the strength of ten thousand enemies.

    Thinking about it, since these corpses, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are both Tiger and Leopard Knight soldiers, how could they be so different?

    If we take ten thousand enemies as a general, close to ten thousand enemies would be equivalent to the level of deputy general or dubo. In other words, this so-called tiger and leopard cavalry is equivalent to two or three thousand deputy generals, or even  It is composed of general-level soldiers. To put it bluntly, this force is enough to sweep the world!

    At least, the fleet under Xia Houyuan is irresistible

    what to do?

    Looking at the corpses who were still indifferent on their own ship, watching Zhang Fei, Xiahou Dun and Hao Meng, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others fight with cold eyes, Xia Houyuan frowned secretly.

    However, what made him a little surprised was that the corpses on the ship did not seem to have any intention of swarming up. On the contrary, they did not even look at the fight between Zhang Fei and others, and actually rode the warship at their feet in various directions.  One goes east, one goes south, and one goes north.

    Even Cao Xing, who initially provoked Xia Houyuan by shooting an arrow, seemed to have no intention of fighting with him after noticing Yan Liang and others jumping on the boat. What made Xia Houyuan even more incredible was that a corpse on a boat actually fought on his own.  They stood up, as if to argue about the direction of the warship.

    Did you escape?

    Looking at the warship Cao Xing was on slowly passing by his warship, Xia Houyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief1,.

    He couldn¡¯t imagine what would happen when nearly 3,000 deputy general-level or even general-level corpses came aboard as soldiers.

    ¡°That¡¯s too bad, General Chen Ran

    ??

    Even if Chen Ran took advantage of his two martial arts spirits and asked his second personality, Chen Er, who was best at fighting, to come out to help, it would be of no avail.

    "Huhu, this old guy is quite capable" Chen Er, who was hit by the thunder and was covered in white smoke, gasped.

    "Are you sure?" Glancing at Zhang Jiao in front of him who was holding a Taoist talisman, Chen suddenly turned to Chen Er, whose back was facing him. Opposite Chen Er, there was Zhang Jiao holding a peach wood sword.

    One Zhang Jiao used Taoism to suppress Chen Ye, even though Chen Ye possessed the Bai Ze Martial Spirit, while the other Zhang Jiao was able to use a peach wood sword to fight Chen Er, who possessed the Greedy Wolf Spirit.

    It can be said that it is one against one, or it can be said that it is two against two, but no matter what, Chen Chang's side is indeed at a disadvantage.

    "It's a bit difficult" Chen Er licked his lips and said in a rare serious tone.

    Thinking about it, Chen Er's arrogant character can say such words, which is enough to prove that the strength of Zhang Jue in front of him is really unfathomable.

    Under the secretly guarded gazes of Chen Su and Chen Er, the two Zhang Jiao, who were shrouded in red lightning, slowly walked towards them in the air, with abnormally solemn expressions.

    "You will never be allowed to step out of here!"
