Kuyang was not the only one who thought so. All the Taiping soldiers on the east side street, including Wu Heng, looked at them with amazement as Liao Li killed them with only about twenty guards.
"Capture the thief first, capture the king Seeing that the battle situation is not good, they want to recover the disadvantage by capturing the enemy's commander. Is this ridiculous tactic a consistent trick of the Jizhou Army?"
With a sarcastic comment, Wu Heng raised his hand and snapped his fingers, then pointed at Liao Li, who was heading towards him.
The general next to him understood, and immediately ordered the nearby crossbowmen to aim their crossbows at Liao Li, and then ordered to pull the trigger.
"Whizzing¡ª¡ª!"
The Taiping crossbowmen beside Wu Heng fired a volley of crossbow bolts. Even a fierce general like Liao Li had to stop charging and protect himself with the sword in his hand, firing one after another. The arrows fell.
¡°Perhaps because the arrows were too dense, Liao Li seemed to be in a hurry.
¡°It¡¯s interesting, why don¡¯t you come over and die yourself?¡±
Wu Heng secretly sneered and ridiculed.
¡°Perhaps in his opinion, Liao Li¡¯s reckless and impulsive behavior is simply seeking death and extremely stupid. If all the Zhou army generals were as reckless as Liao Li, let alone the 70,000 to 80,000 Zhou army, even if the strength of the Zhou army was doubled, Wu Heng thought he would have a chance of winning.
However, Wu Heng only maintained this thought for a few breaths, because he was surprised to find that the Zhou general Liao Li in the distance seemed to be in a hurry, but his expression showed no panic at all. What's more, his Taiping soldiers fired hundreds of arrows at Liao Li and his party, but none of them hurt Liao Li.
[This guy¡¡]
Wu Heng frowned slightly, spread his right hand flat, and lowered his voice and said to his left and right, "Give me the strong bow!"
"Yes!" The guards on the left and right responded when they heard the words, took off the crossbows from their backs, and handed them to Wu Heng along with the arrows.
Wu Heng took the bow and arrows, nocked the arrows and drew the bow. He actually stretched the two-stone bow for a full moon, aiming solemnly.
Immediately, at the moment when Liao Li blinked, he released the bowstring.
¡°Whoosh¡ª¡ª!¡±
The two-stone bow was so powerful that the arrow flew towards Liao Li like lightning. At that time, Liao Li seemed to be more focused on the arrows shot from both sides, and did not notice the bow and arrow shot by Wu Heng. So when the bow and arrow flew only about one foot away from Liao Li's door, Liao Li still didn't react at all.
[Succeeded! ]
The bow in his hand hung lightly, and Wu Heng's mouth showed a somewhat triumphant smile inadvertently. However, after a breath, the smile on his face froze.
Because he was shocked to see that just when the bow and arrow was about to hit Liao Li's door, Liao Li remained unhurried. He closed his eyes and turned his head, and the crossbow barely missed his earlobe and flew away. Went to a more distant place.
He just turned slightly to avoid the bow and arrow shot by Wu Heng.
After avoiding it, Liao Li opened his eyes again, turned his head and glanced at Wu Heng. The faint smile in his eyes made Wu Heng's heart sink slightly.
[This guy is deliberately provoking! ]
Wu Heng's heart fell to the lowest point in an instant, and he realized that maybe Liao Li had already noticed his little move, but he didn't tell it beforehand and deliberately pretended not to notice it. Only at the last moment, he finally stopped. At the critical moment, he avoided the bow and arrow to provoke and mock Wu Heng. As if to say, he didn't take Wu Heng seriously at all.
"Good guy" Wu Heng cursed through gritted teeth. Even as scheming as he was, this time he couldn't help but be aroused by Liao Ji's intentional provocation. He spread his right hand flat and whispered, "Arrow!"
The guards on the left and right could not see that Wu Heng was furious at this moment. They did not dare to neglect at all, and immediately took out an arrow and handed it to Wu Heng.
Taking the arrow, Wu Heng once again pulled the bow into a full moon shape. After shooting the arrow, he shouted in a deep voice, "Arrow!"
¡°Swish, swish¡ª!¡±
Three arrows in a row, the guards on the left and right handed Wu Heng three arrows in a row, and Wu Heng also shot three arrows in a row, each arrow faster than the other.
Liao Li obviously noticed the threat from the front, but he remained calm. When the arrows flew in front of him, he raised his gun and waved it a few times, intending to shoot down or knock the three arrows away.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened. Of the three arrows shot by Wu Heng, the fastest tail arrow hit the middle arrow, and the middle arrow hit the front arrow, so that These three arrows completely changed the direction of their hits.
From this, it is not difficult to see that Wu HengHis attainments in archery are indeed extraordinary, and it is no wonder that he was on an equal footing with Liang Qiuhao, the third-generation commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army.
Facing these magic arrows, even Liao Li was so frightened that his complexion changed drastically. He blocked the arrows with his spear repeatedly, and almost knocked down two of the arrows.
Unfortunately, there were three arrows. The last arrow flew straight towards Liao Li's face, only a few feet away. At this time, Liao Li had no time to raise his sword to block it. At most, he could only tilt his head subconsciously, as if he didn't dare to look directly at the sharpness of the arrow.
In the next breath, Liao Li raised his horse's front hooves, and immediately stepped heavily on the ground. However, Liao Li on the horse remained motionless, and his head never turned around. Looking from a distance, his invisible face seemed to have an arrow stuck across it, with only the back half exposed to Wu Heng's eyes.
[Succeeded! ]
With a proud and conceited expression on his face, Wu Heng sneered and handed the strong bow in his hand to his subordinates.
It has to be said that from the action of passing the strong bow, it is not difficult to see that Wu Heng is indeed very proud of his archery skills. But on the other hand, he does have the qualifications to be conceited. After all, as far as the skill just now is concerned, looking at the whole world, I am afraid that few people can use it well.
[It is your blessing that a mere general can die in the hands of this commander! ]
This was Wu Heng¡¯s initial thought.
He was indeed very proud at first, but gradually, he gradually felt that something was not right, because Liao Li on the horse in the distance did not even see the slightest movement to his right.
If you are really a dead person, can you still sit on a horse so safely?
Wu Heng's suspicion was finally verified. After about three to five breaths of silence, Liao Li in the distance finally moved, and he slowly turned his head.
In an instant, Wu Heng¡¯s complexion changed drastically, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Because he was horrified to see that General Liao Li bit the last arrow with his own mouth and teeth.
The Taiping troops were in an uproar because what they saw in front of them had already exceeded their imagination. How can a man catch the arrow shot from the bow of two stones with his teeth?
Even though it was Wu Heng, he was frightened by Liao Li. He began to realize that the Liao Li in front of him was probably not as simple as an ordinary general in the Jizhou army.
At this time, Liao Li, the panicked expression on his face had long since disappeared without a trace. He spit out the arrow on the ground and looked at Wu Heng with a weird smile on his face. Even a fool can see that Liao Li was just teasing Wu Heng from beginning to end.
"The accuracy is pretty good, but the strength" Staring at Wu Heng, Liao Li shook his head with a look of regret, and then while driving his horse to charge towards Wu Heng again, he said slowly, "If you want to kill someone, you have to Try your best like this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, one man and one horse galloped towards the row of Taiping Saber shield bearers. He waved the spear in his hand and heard a loud clang. The barrel of the spear in his hand hit one of them hard. On the Shieldbearer's shield.
"Bang!" The shield collapsed and sawdust flew everywhere. The shield, which was wrapped with a thin layer of iron, was unable to withstand Liao Li's seemingly easy blow and was completely shattered. What's even more shocking is that after Liao Li's spear shattered the shield, its power didn't weaken a bit. It hit the Taiping soldier under the ribs with a pop, and only whipped the Taiping soldier. The whole person flew up, making a crackling sound of bones breaking in mid-air.
Anyone who knows clearly can tell at a glance that with just one blow, most of the Taiping soldier's chest bones have been shattered.
Sure enough, after a few breaths passed, the Taiping soldier who was knocked into the air fell to the ground with a bang, vomiting blood from his mouth, and fell to the ground dead not long after. Looking at his chest now, there was a large dent in it.
Seeing this, all the Taiping soldiers around him gasped in shock. Even though Wu Heng was quite conceited about his martial arts, at this moment he also showed a look of horror.
[This guythis guy is by no means an ordinary general of the Zhou army! ]
Seeing Liao Li heading towards him desperately, Wu Heng showed no sign of change in his expression, but a violent storm was raging in his heart.
You know, he even thought about killing the Zhou general named Liao Li himself just now to cheer up and boost the morale of the entire army. But now, after seeing what Liao Li showed when he killed the Taiping soldier, After experiencing the terrifying arm strength, Wu Heng had already given up this extremely stupid idea.
Yes, it is indeed an extremely stupid idea, because even Wu Heng had to admit that Zhou General Liao Li's martial arts and arm strength were incomparable.??Any one of them must be at least one step ahead of him. Even if he takes action personally, I'm afraid it's just a matter of death.
Thinking of this, Wu Heng did not reveal the shock in his heart, and said calmly in a playful tone, "Ha! I'm quite capable It's a pity that I'm a little stupid. I came here alone. Who do you think I am? - Shoot the arrow!" "As he said that, Wu Heng waved his right hand and ordered all the soldiers to shoot arrows at Liao Li again, trying to kill Liao Li here.
It¡¯s no wonder, after all, after seeing Liao Li¡¯s ability, Wu Heng was not sure that he could defeat this person. Therefore, he could only try to use this relatively base method to eradicate Liao Li.
It¡¯s still the same sentence. Although a powerful general cannot gain the strategic upper hand like a clever strategist, they can determine the outcome of a battle or a fight, reverse their own disadvantage, and even defeat the enemy. , turning the tide in times of crisis.
Liang Qiu Hao, Liang Qiu Wu, Zhen Lei, and Li Mao all belong to this type of fierce generals. Although Liao Li is still far behind the previous few, in front of the Taiping Army, he is like a god of war on the battlefield, charging rampant, Wanton massacre, invincible.
The Taiping Army finally realized how powerless and shocked the Zhou army was when they faced Liang Qiuhao. Facing Liao Li, who only led 20 cavalry to charge, they could not think of any way to stop him.
Level, the difference is too far!
Today's Liao Li is probably on par with the coach Fei Guo, and has reached the level of Yang Yu, the coach of the Taiping Army's Tianfu soldiers, that is, a twenty-year general. The implication is that Liao Li can at least survive twenty moves in Liang Qiuhao's hands without dying.
Although this comparison seems a bit ridiculous and absurd, in fact, looking at the entire world, how many people can survive twenty moves in the hands of Liang Qiuhao, a peerless warrior who has rarely been seen in hundreds of years? It's just the amount of one pair of hands.
Facing a fierce general like Liao Li who is already qualified to confront Liang Qiuhao, how can ordinary Taiping soldiers resist? In an instant, the defense line was broken through by Liao Li, who went straight to Wu Heng's position.
[Unbelievable! incredible! ]
Watching from a distance, Kuyang was shocked and felt as if a huge wave was hitting a rock. However, Xu Chang beside him had already been dumbfounded, with a dull expression on his face.
I have seen crazy people, but I have never seen anyone as crazy as Liao Li. How dare a few people implement the strategy of capturing the thief first against Wu Heng, the fourth-generation commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army who was surrounded by heavy troops. You must know that those who have used this trick are all famous heroes, such as Liang Qiuhao and Liangqiu Wu's cousins, and the formation thunder of the Baishui Army. Even Fei Guo, the most powerful general of the Jizhou Army, has never done this. Going into danger alone. It is hard to imagine where the little-known Zhou general Liao Li got such courage and courage.
But having said that, what shocked Kuyang the most was the way Liao Li dodged the arrows fired by the Taiping soldiers. Kuyang looked at this matter carefully and found that Liao Li, who was in the rain of arrows, seemed to know early on which arrows could hit him and whether some of the arrows that could hit him would hit his body. Which parts. As a result, Liao Li didn't even dodge some of the arrows, allowing them to barely miss his body and shoot into the distance.
This kind of calmness with no change of expression even when a sharp knife hangs over one's head and the mountain collapses in front of him, is what shocks and admires Kuyang the most.
"What a terrible intuition" Wu Heng muttered subconsciously what Ku Yang wanted to say. Now, he finally realized what kind of fierce general he was facing.
That is a fierce tiger, a tiger that will tear people into pieces as long as he is given a chance!
Calmly, Wu Heng quietly retreated to the rear of the army.
He has realized that Liao Li is not a strong general that he can compete with, and the best way to deal with such a strong general who is like a ten thousand enemy is to pile up the lives of his soldiers to gradually wear down the opponent's physical strength and wait for his strength. When he was exhausted, he captured him in one fell swoop.
I remember that Sun Xiangyu, the commander of the Chang'an campaign, used this method when he dealt with Liang Qiu Hao; Liu Qing used this method when he dealt with Zhen Lei in the Xiangyang campaign; and now, facing Liao Li, a brave and terrifying Zhou general, Wu Heng also chose this safest method.
Wu Heng quietly issued the order, trying to lure Liao Li out a little more. After all, Liao Li was still very close to his army at this moment. If Liao Li saw that the situation was wrong and returned to the army, Wu Heng had nothing to do with him.
To kill this person, you must lure him out a little more and separate him from the soldiers and horses under his command. In this case, even if Liao Li cannot be eradicated for the time being, at least the army under his command will not be as easy as it is now. After all, although Zhou Jun currently has Ku Yang giving orders instead of Liao Li, Wu Heng can see at a glance that the command levels of Ku Yang and Liao Li are too different, and the latter is called a useless person.??Hitable.
But unfortunately, Liao Li is no longer someone who will pursue at all costs. Seeing that Wu Heng took the initiative to retreat and did not want to fight with him, Liao Li moved forward for a while, Quan took it as a provocation and seduction. . But when his intuition realized that there seemed to be some danger ahead, he immediately stopped the momentum of his horse and returned to the army without saying a word.
Seemingly acting decisively and without any hesitation, even Wu Heng was stunned for a moment and did not order the pursuit in time.
"[If it were me in the past, I would probably chase Wu Heng and that guy to the end of the world, right?" ¡ª¡ªIf he doesn¡¯t die, I die¡]
On the way back to the formation, Liao Li had a wry smile on his face. It can be seen that he has never forgotten what happened to Qi Zhi.
The lesson of rashly pursuing the enemy without regard to the overall situation, which ultimately led to great disaster, has always spurred Liao Li and forced him to learn from it.
[Backback? ]
Seeing Liao Li returning to the main formation unharmed after charging for a while, Kuyang was slightly shocked. After all, Liao Li gave him the impression that he was someone who was indomitable and would not give up for any obstruction. It was hard to imagine this. People will actually return without success before achieving their goals.
In fact, Liao Li, who noticed the strange look of Kuyang, had a very embarrassed look on his face. He had never expected that Wu Heng would retreat so simply, without caring about the loss of his reputation.
"I thought that Wu Heng was also a hero, but I didn't want to be so cowardly as a mouse"
Liao Li used dissatisfied ridicule to resolve the embarrassment in his heart. After all, when he said to Kuyang, "Come as soon as you go," he was planning to bring Wu Heng's head back with him. Now that he is fine, Liao Liren is safe and sound. came back, but Wu Heng¡¯s head was still growing on Wu Heng¡¯s neck, safe and sound.
To be honest, Liao Li felt uncomfortable with the embarrassment of returning without success. After all, this guy had some obsessive-compulsive disorder that was obsessed with perfection in everything. The reason why he endured it now was just because the Qi Zhi incident was like a A nightmare enveloped him, like a scabbard that restrained his ferocity and unruliness, restraining the edge of his sharp sword named Liao Li within the scabbard.
Seemingly noticing the embarrassment on Liao Li's face, Kuyang couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. You must know that in his opinion, Liao Li was just as brave as Wu Heng, the commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army, and he was able to return safely after being unable to succeed. , this is already a very remarkable thing.
But since Liao Li was too embarrassed to speak, Kuyang naturally couldn't say more. He changed the subject and frowned, "General Liao, since there is no chance to kill Wu Heng right now, what should we do?"
Liao Li also frowned when he heard this. After all, the Taiping Army in the city was several times larger than the Zhou Army. Since the attempt to kill Wu Heng failed, it is not difficult to guess that the Taiping Army will continue to suppress his Zhou Army, even if Liao Li is commanding the troops. It has achieved quite a lot, but in the end, I am afraid it will still be defeated due to the disparity in military strength.
By then, not to mention that the Zhou army and Niuzhu army will be completely annihilated, nor that the dead sheep will die, even Liao Li may not be able to escape from Guangling, which is already cut off from the outside of the city.
As expected, Liao Li's scruples were verified after just half a stick of incense. Wu Heng, who was opposed, actually ordered a fire to be set near the street.
You must know that the reason why Liao Li was able to withstand the ferocious offensive of 40,000 to 50,000 Taiping troops from three sides with only seven or eight thousand troops was that in addition to relying on his extraordinary intuition that could rival the enemy's thunder, the more important thing was that Occupy the street. Because here, his seven to eight thousand troops only need to allocate three to five thousand soldiers to block the streets in all directions. The Taiping Army, even though the number of people far exceeds the Zhou army, but in such a narrow street terrain in the city, in fact, every day At any moment, only three to five thousand soldiers were fighting head-on with the Zhou army. The rest of the soldiers could only wave flags from the rear to cheer. If they really wanted to come to the front, they might not even have a place to stay.
Now that Wu Heng has ordered the destruction of the nearby houses and pavilions, this undoubtedly means that the good days of the Zhou army are over. Once the nearby terrain becomes empty, the Zhou army, which is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength, may be defeated in an instant. Devoured by the Taiping Army.
And at this moment when the situation was becoming more and more dangerous, Liao Li's face suddenly showed a bit of surprise and astonishment. He subconsciously glanced to the north, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that made Kuyang unbelievable.
