Chapter 759: Brave General Chen Shuzhi
According to historical records, Chen Dao, whose courtesy name was Shuzhi, was from Runan, Yuzhou, and today's native of Pingyu County, Zhumadian, Henan. During the Three Kingdoms period, the general of Shu Han and the head of Liu Bei's personal military service, his reputation was only slightly inferior to Zhao Zilong, who had been famous for his eternal Zhao Zilong, and he was known for his loyalty and courage.
However, today's Chen Dao has passed by the truth in history. Although he can still be called brave and good at fighting, his loyalty to Liu Bei has disappeared.
It has only been a year since the Battle of Qinglong Mountain Valley to the present. This year may be just a small silhouette of life for others, but for Chen Dao this year it was very long, so long that he could see Liu Bei's true face clearly.
In Liu Bei's eyes, Guan and Zhang are the first, and the second country is the second.
For the sake of the country, he can wear or tear off the mask of benevolence and righteousness, or abandon the robes that accompany him to fight against the country; for the sake of closing the country, he can also ignore the country, and rush forward for the sake of one's loyalty, allowing the blood of the warriors to scatter in every inch of the war.
In his mind, except for Jiangshan and Guanzhang, all his robes are just stepping stones to success.
How can there be true feelings between people and stones?
Therefore, when Wang Li threw the olive branch in front of Chen Dao, he quickly took it over. Life is short, and the loess has been buried on his knees; life is long, and he can also use decades of time to gain a glorious family to return home.
Of course, the so-called "glorious family members and wealthy families" return home depends on whether Wang Li is willing to give him a chance, and whether he can seize the opportunity given to him by Wang Li.
Now, his opportunity has come.
Chen Dao was riding on the horse, with his eight thousand elite soldiers given to him by Wang Li and the three thousand warriors who had just suffered defeat under Jiao Tuo. His chance was ahead, right in front of the formation in front.
The mountain wind blows from the north of Dingjun Mountain, as if he wants to sing a song "Sha Po Wolf". It dances with a flute and makes the branches and leaves on the big trees rustle and the flags in the two armies fly.
Looking at the geese-shaped formation in front, and looking at the young talent in front who had "defeated" Jiao Tu, at least the "defeated" that Wu Ban thought, Chen Dao whispered twice to the flag-holding soldiers, gently patted the war horse, and slowly came to the front of the formation.
The crowd rolled, and the war horses neighed.
The flags in the hands of the flag-holding soldiers were rising and falling, left and right, and ten thousand troops quickly changed the formation like arms and fingers. In the eyes of Wu Ban and the soldiers of the Sichuan Army, they changed from a cone-shaped formation that emphasized attack to a large formation that they did not know. The formation was like a bow in front of them, with a sudden abrupt manner, and a thousand iron cavalry were composed of powerful crossbows on their backs, and they were dragging sharp long swords in their hands, showing their sharpness.
The left and right ends of the formation are also embedded with two thousand knights. Their outfits and the "arrows" in the formation seem to be the difference between them, and the only difference is that they have no crossbows and long swords. All they have is a sharper scimitar and a sharper iron spear.
The remaining eight thousand swords, shield soldiers, crossbow soldiers, long sword soldiers and infantry soldiers were only wrapped in the center of the formation. They were all hidden in the "arrows" and "two wings", revealing only a pair of fierce eyes and weapons as fierce as the eyes.
This formation is called "Left and Left and Left and Left Horse Formation", which is a formation that Wang Li discussed and figured out with Guo Jia when he recalled the "Shuo Yue Quan Biography" and "The General Yao of Wu Jing" in later generations. It means that the formation is located on the left and right wings of the formation, and is supported by war horses, either attacking left and right or left and right aid.
Wu Ban didn't understand, and the Sichuan Army soldiers didn't understand, but they were all a little confused. They had already felt the mountain of oppression and a strong crisis from the formation.
"Ban Wu, Chen heard that you had been so anxious that you had to resist more than ten tricks under General Jiao Chu. I think your martial arts should not be considered too bad. Chen is just a farmer in the mountains and fields who only knows brute force. His reputation and status are unknown, but he has a bad bone and likes to compete with the heroes and heroes in the world.
Oh, of course, you probably aren't a hero. But Chen didn't invite him today and became an uninvited guest in Dingjun Mountain. If you can't show any sincerity to entertain him, you will be embarrassed to leave after all. Otherwise, you will be condescending to the nobles and accompany Chen to a few moves?"
Chen Dao placed the silver-cut halberd across the horse's back, twisted his waist and back, and changed into a comfortable position immediately. He looked at Wu Ban's eyes and revealed a hint of joy, just like an old farmer squatting in the field in autumn watching the rice waves flying with the wind and bent down and nodding.
The personal soldiers behind him were in an uproar, especially the veterans who had experienced the Battle of Qinglong Mountain were even more stunned.
This is still the fierce general who was as anxious as thunderbolt back then? This is still the general who was as fierce as fire? Why has it been more than a year since Chen Dao turned into a "old man" like a different person?
Chen Dao is naturally not an old man, he also has an ambitious young heart.
However, he thought a lot during this year.
I thought of his former lord Liu Xuande, and also of the old Huang Zhong who captured him. He saw selfishness and false benevolence from Liu Bei, but he also learned the sword skills of Thunder Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and Thunder and
As for Huang Zhong's thundering methods, it is still unknown how much he has learned, but his trash talk has definitely been obtained by Huang Zhong's true teachings.
Just a few short sentences not only denied the possibility of Wu Ban's "defeated" Jiao Tuo, but also denied the status of Wu Ban's heroic hero. Wu Ban's face was so angry that his yellow lips were as white as paper, and the little bit of inch-long beard that just appeared under his chin also trembled with his body.
Finally, anger suppressed his reason. The big knife in his hand suddenly lifted, slashed in the air, and shouted loudly: "The whole army charges, life and death! The son of the turtle, I have to kill the bird man named Chen today!"
The tide of more than ten thousand Sichuan troops surged up like a tide, but the long sword in Wu Ban's hand was directed towards Chen Dao alone.
Chen Dao looked ahead calmly, looking at the surging warriors. It was not until they were only a single arrow away from him that the silver halberd in his hand suddenly soared into the air. Several phantoms condensed above his head into a strange snake with nine heads, and his voice had just fallen into the ears of the soldiers.
"Shoot the arrow!"
With a command, heavy rain suddenly came, and dark clouds rolled. Thousands of sharp arrows and locusts rushed towards the Sichuan army like locusts. Two thousand iron cavalry on both sides of the formation also rushed up, always protecting the crossbow soldiers, sword and shield soldiers and long sword soldiers behind them.
Grandson said: More than one can win, less than one can win.
War is always like this.
Wu Ban did not calculate that Chen Dao would move out a completely unrecognizable formation, but Chen Dao took advantage of this and fought against Sichuan's arms with the "arrowhead" and "two wings". The crossbowmen in the center became the main attacker of the sneak attack.
They gathered under two huge and strong iron wings, quickly putting arrows handed over by swords and shields, ruthlessly, indifferently, and rampantly harvesting the lives of the enemy.
The sharp arrows flew away, and the arrows fell into rain. The battlefield heard dense sounds of breaking through the air, screams, the sound of metal falling into the bones and the sound of falling horses. Countless Sichuan soldiers were pierced by sharp arrows and their chests, arms and thighs, and fell down from horses or on the road, becoming fertilizer for the plants and trees in the Dingjun Mountains. The blood flowing out of their wounds dyed the rhododendrons red all over the mountains.
Wu Ban was anxious and was about to change the formation when suddenly his eyes turned black. A dark cloud flew rapidly from the horizon to cover his head. With a long roar, the dark cloud immediately turned into more than a thousand galloping iron cavalry, and a silver halberd and poisonous snake flew out of Chen Dao's hand, piercing into the head of the war horse under his crotch.
The war horse neighed, and a hot stream splattered out, pouring on his cheeks. Wu Ban's heart squirted, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, falling down with the war horse.
