Chapter 522: Gu Rubing's Big Chess Game

On the battlefield, in another fierce battle, Zhang He and Taishi Ci teamed up to fight Cao Ren and Xu Chu. The strength of the two sides was not too different. Xu Chu, Zhang He and Taishi Ci were not much different in strength, while Cao Ren was a little weaker. The might of the four fighting was much stronger than that of Ma Chao and the Xiahou brothers.

The four fought in turns, and the momentum was impressive. Zhang He opened and closed, and the Five Tiger Soul-breaking Spear was the main attack. Taishi Ci was behind, shooting with double halberds, plus long-range suppression with bows and arrows, to help Zhang He sweep the formation.

This strategy of fighting the enemy gave Xu Chu and Cao Ren a headache. Although the two of them could suppress Zhang He steadily, Taishi Ci on the side would shoot a few cold arrows from time to time. The frequency was not high, but the force was heavy. No matter who they were aiming at, the two of them did not dare to be careless. As long as Taishi Ci drew his bow and arrow, they would react immediately.

Because they didn't dare to gamble. If they were hit by such an arrow, they might have to withdraw from the battlefield immediately. And Taishi Ci's unpredictable hand halberd was even more threatening. Often before they saw Taishi Ci's move, two short halberds would whistle and the sound of breaking wind would explode in their ears in the next moment.

Although the two were stronger than Zhang He, with the help of Taishi Ci, the combat power of both sides was basically equal. On the contrary, Taishi Ci and the other two were stronger and had been actively attacking.

Cao Ren and Xu Chu soon realized that if they wanted to break through the opponent's defense line, defeat the two, and win the war, they must first solve the long-range threat of Taishi Ci. Otherwise, with Taishi Ci, the two of them would find it difficult to break through Zhang He's defense line.

"We can't drag it on like this. If we drag it on like this, sooner or later we will be ambushed by Taishi Ci."

Cao Ren's eyes were full of anger. This feeling of not being able to hit the opponent and being led by the nose by the opponent made Cao Ren gradually unable to suppress the anger in his heart.

Just as Cao Ren was speaking, Taishi Ci suddenly shot an arrow, heading straight for Cao Ren.

At the critical moment, Xu Chu suddenly raised his knife and chopped it out, and a strong gust of wind blew out, blocking the arrow.

Cao Ren was frightened by the arrow and broke into a cold sweat. The cold arrow was only a dozen feet away from the back of his head, and the arrow had already pierced his skin, causing a sharp sting.

"Be careful."

Xu Chu's voice was dull. Just when he helped Cao Ren block the arrow, Zhang He seized the opportunity and threw it on his back. Thanks to Xu Chu's heavy body, the tail of the gun did not cause much damage, but it made Xu Chu lose his breath.

"It's easy to dodge an open spear, but it's hard to defend against an arrow from the dark. Zhongkang, go and attract Zhang He, so that he has no time to take care of him. Give me a stick of incense, and I'll take down Taishi Ci!"

Cao Ren said sternly, Xu Chu nodded, dragged his knife forward, and then suddenly jumped up and chopped it down with a knife.

The chaotic cloak sword technique brought with it a series of strong winds, sweeping up the dust all over the sky, blocking Taishi Ci's sight. Zhang He was not afraid either, and immediately met Xu Chu and fought with him.

While Xu Chu used his powerful strength and defense to actively attract Zhang He's attack, Cao Ren, like a flash of lightning, burst out with an incredibly amazing speed and came directly to Taishi Ci's side. Then he raised his sword high and chopped it down suddenly.

Although Taishi Ci was highly skilled in martial arts, he had to temporarily retreat in the face of Cao Ren's lightning-like sneak attack to avoid being injured by Cao Ren's quick attack.

Although Zhang He's vision was blocked by the yellow sand, he knew the plans of Cao Ren and Xu Chu. After hearing the sound of Cao Ren rushing out, he immediately waved the Five Tiger Soul-Breaking Spear and launched a fierce attack on Xu Chu with a thunderous force, trying to break through Xu Chu and create an opportunity for Taishi Ci to counterattack.

"Kill!"

Cao Ren's loud shout came from the yellow sand, making Zhang He even more anxious. Just now, Taishi Ci was holding a bow and arrow, and before he had time to change his hand halberd, Cao Ren quickly approached him. It goes without saying how dangerous it is for an archer to be approached by a powerful general like Cao Ren.

Xu Chu also understood this, and fought madly with Zhang He. Neither of them made a single step back. Under this desperate fighting style, scars soon appeared on their bodies. Zhang He's combat power was higher than Xu Chu's, and the Five Tigers Soul-Breaking Spear was much longer than the Wind-Splitting Knife, which gave him a slight advantage.

Xu Chu relied on a spirit of not caring about his life and blocked Zhang He tightly. Although Zhang He had an advantage, he could not quickly break through Xu Chu's blockade, and he also suffered a lot of injuries because he wanted to break through quickly. Both of them were injured, but they still fought desperately.

Because they all understood one thing, no matter who they were, once they died in battle or lost their combat power, it would cause a huge blow, which might affect the entire battle situation.

So they were seriously injured, but they had no intention of restraining themselves, let alone stopping.

"Zhang He! Your Grandfather Xu is here today, so you should fight with your Grandfather Xu honestly!"

Xu Chu roared, and the last sword of the Chaos Cloak Sword Technique obtained a double bonus of 150% of the current attack power. It can be said to be Xu Chu's strongest sword. At this moment, it fell suddenly in the sky like a stream, and hit directly towards where Zhang He was.

The meteor fell to the ground with a huge momentum, which attracted special attention on the battlefield. Facing this blow, Zhang He had no fear on his face. He roared and stabbed out with a gun. On the Five Tigers Soul-Breaking Spear, a huge tiger phantom appeared, opening its bloody mouth, as if it wanted to swallow the falling meteor directly.

The moment the two people collided, a deafening sound exploded in everyone's ears, and the yellow sand in the sky was scattered under this terrifying impact. At this time, the people around could finally see the four people clearly. A full view of the battlefield.

After Zhang He and Xu Chu struck with all their strength, they both began to breathe. After this strike, the fight between the two was destined to be less brutal than before.

On the other side, Taishi Ci had put away his bow and arrows and put on his two halberds to face the ground.

In fact, before the yellow sand dispersed, Cao Ren realized that something was wrong. This Tai Shi Ci did not look like an archer. He blocked more than a dozen of his attacks with just a large fine iron bow. After the double halberds, the strange and changeable double halberds posed a considerable threat to Cao Ren.

Originally, Cao Ren was prepared to capture Tai Shici in one stick of incense, but from this point of view, he would probably be captured in one stick of incense.

Therefore, after Cao Ren swung his sword again, he immediately withdrew from the battlefield where he was fighting Taishi Ci and turned around to retreat.

How could Taishi Ci let him go so easily? He raised the two short halberds in his hands and threw them out. The short halberds broke through the wind and arrived in an instant. Cao Ren raised one of his swords and knocked one away, while the other flew from his left arm. Passed, leaving a big scar.

Zhang He saw that Cao Ren and Xu Chu were about to encircle him, but still did not react at all. He just continued to confront Xu Chu, leaving another gunshot wound on Xu Chu's body.

Cao Ren's eyes were blazing. If he couldn't kill Taishi Ci, it would be no problem to kill Zhang He. After all, Zhang He was the main force blocking them, and Taishi Ci played more of a role in raiding the formation.

Thinking of this, Cao Ren no longer hesitated and launched a surprise attack from behind. However, the spear that was supposed to penetrate Zhang He's body changed its direction with a crisp sound.

Cao Ren looked up and saw that it was Taishi Ci who had replaced his bow and arrows. When he looked, Taishi Ci had already shot the second arrow and was about to reach for the third arrow. Cao Ren's face was ashen and he blocked these arrows. After the arrow, Zhang He had already escaped from their encirclement.

And Taishi Ci started to rain down arrows. His shooting speed became faster and faster, and the quiver was consumed faster and faster. He didn't stop until Zhang He came to Taishi Ci's side.

Xu Chu and Cao Ren both looked bad. After all, their attack failed badly. Cao Ren failed to capture Taishi Ci, and Xu Chu was injured more seriously than Zhang He. "No, let the others join the fight and stop fighting with their nobodies."

Cao Ren immediately decided to let the dozen first-class generals they brought to participate in the battle, and not let them continue to tangle with the unknown first-class generals under the opponent's command.

After getting the order, several cavalry quickly surrounded them. Six people, Yue Jin, Yu Jin, Li Dian, Xia Houshang, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen, got rid of their opponents and surrounded them. The first-class generals under Taishi Ci and Zhang He were I was entangled by other people taking over and couldn't come to support.

"Good guy, if they don't come over, I'll almost forget about them."

Taishi Ci gave a wry smile, replaced his bow and arrow, and took out a pair of short halberds. He carried a total of twelve short halberds, plus the two that were just thrown out to injure Cao Ren, a total of eight have been used. Now only There are four left, and they can no longer be used as long-range attacks like bows and arrows.

Zhang He gritted his teeth and endured the pain from the wound. He was using Hua Tuo's trauma medicine. He took advantage of this opportunity to recover a little more.

"xxx, one by one, the reminders are coming."

Zhang He uttered a curse word, and there was only determination in his eyes.

"kill!"

Cao Ren yelled, not giving Zhang He a chance to continue taking the medicine. He and Xu Chu were the first to bear the brunt, while Le Jin and the other six followed closely behind them.

The six of them are all veteran generals under Cao Cao. Although they are still first-rate generals, their combat power is not comparable to ordinary first-rate generals. They all have full experience points and only need a few famous general points to be promoted. Quasi-famous general.

It can be said that these talents are Cao Cao's trump cards. After they are promoted to famous generals, Cao Cao will have more than a dozen famous generals under his command. Together, these famous generals are enough to block tens of thousands of troops, not to say that they are enough to destroy tens of thousands of troops.

At this moment, the eyes of several people were like hungry wolves. After Cao Cao's instructions, they all knew that as long as they killed more first-class generals, they would be promoted faster. If they could cut off the head of a famous general, they would probably immediately Promotion, so when several people looked at the injured Zhang He and Taishi Ci who looked like an archer, their eyes were red, and they didn't want to give up this opportunity to reach the sky in one step.

"Zang Ba!"

Zhang He suddenly roared without warning, causing everyone on the other side to stop and look around, but did not find anything unusual.

"Zang Ba? Who is it?"

Xu Chu said with some confusion. Cao Ren on the side had followed Cao Cao for the longest time and naturally knew a lot. He patiently explained to Xu Chu.

"This Zang Ba is a bandit in the Taishan area, but he pays great attention to the morality of the world. Most of them rob the rich and give to the poor. Although there are also some behaviors of robbing families and homes, but in general he is pretty good, so his reputation is not very bad. At that time, my eldest brother was still Prepare to recruit Zang Ba."

As Cao Ren spoke, he shook his left arm and connected with the powerful bow and arrow of Taishi Ci. Coupled with the injury to his left arm, the muscles of his left arm were a little stiff at the moment, and he could only move and recover.

"But a few years ago, Liu Bei stationed troops in Qingzhou and besieged Mount Tai in order to destroy Zang Ba. Later I heard that Liu Bei besieged the mountain for several months and trapped Zang Ba and his three masters to death on Mount Tai."

Xu Chu looked confused.

"Then why would you ask a dead person to do this?"

Before Cao Ren had time to speak, he heard a powerful voice in the distance.

"Who told your grandpa is dead? Your grandpa is still alive and well!"

Everyone followed the sound and saw that in the east of Nanjun, an army of tens of thousands of people was rushing towards this place. The leader, wearing heavy armor and a mustache, rushed towards the battlefield while shouting.

"He's not dead!"

Cao Ren was surprised that Zang Ba was surrounded by Liu Bei. He died on Mount Tai. This is something everyone knows, and it was reported by Liu Bei, but now Zang Ba actually appears here safe and sound, and he also brings tens of thousands of infantry with him.

When Zhang He saw this, a smile appeared on his face.

"My lord, this game of chess is really too big. If I didn't know the inside story, I would have thought that Zang Ba was dead."

"Hahaha, my lord calculated the fate of heaven and earth and calculated people's hearts. He falsely spread the news that Zang Ba was dead, but in fact he trained an army of 50,000 people in Mount Tai. What an unreasonable move."

Taishi Ci couldn't help but sigh, both of them knew the truth, and they also knew that Zang Ba had been hiding near Nanjun, preparing to give Cao Cao a big surprise.

Zang Ba raised his sword and pointed at Cao Jun's formation.

"Hahaha, charge me! Kill him!"

The 50,000 infantrymen behind him shouted to kill Zhentian, and they all rushed into the formation.

In addition to Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Chang Xi, and Yin Li also led 50,000 Taishan tiger bandits to charge before the formation.

This was Gu Rubing's big move after recruiting Zang Ba. He pretended to spread the news that Zang Ba was dead, but in fact, he used them as a cavalry and kept them hidden from Cao Cao and Sun Jian. A cavalry team outside.

The most important reason is actually the existence of the Taishan Tiger Bandit, a special unit. Even after changing jobs to other units, it can still retain the characteristics of the Taishan Mountain People. The characteristics of these Taishan Mountain People can provide the tribe with Attack power +1200%, pursuit +500% characteristics.

This is already a very high bonus, mainly because even if you transfer to other arms, even special arms, you can keep it. This is the main reason why Gu Rubing plays this big game.
