It seemed like in the blink of an eye, Cheng Yun began to meet the forward of Cao's army.

Cheng Yun stood in the first row.

This is a tradition of the Cavalry.

The officers in the middle and lower levels must stand on the front line.

The armor and weapons on Cheng Yun's body are no different from ordinary soldiers from the front, but if you look at it from the back, you will find that there is a clear military marquis logo on Cheng Yun's pocket and armor.

On the one hand, this allows all the soldiers around to know the location of the middle and lower-level non-commissioned officers. On the other hand, it also vaguely reminds these non-commissioned officers to face the enemy and stand among their comrades to get the greatest protection. If they turn their heads and escape, the exposed sign will become the most obvious target of the enemy.

Cheng Yun held a shield in front, covering most of his body tightly, but showed his head a little to observe the situation opposite Cao Jun.

The solid shield provides Cheng Yun with a good sense of security.

The Cao army opposite is also a shield soldier. The shields or other equipment of Cao army are actually very similar to those of the Cavalry Army. The system of making weapons in Shandong is similar. Each weapon has a mark of the craftsman and the place of production. If there is a quality problem, it can be traced. In addition, there is an army number. If the weapon is lost, the responsibility of the user must be tracked down.

But there are many old people in Shandong. When the superiors inspect, of course everything is good...

Even "private visits on a mini-server basis".

Cheng Yun heard about something that a county magistrate in Shandong wanted to visit privately. The county magistrate did not bring a complete set of honor guards, but he brought the guards and wore brocade robes. As soon as he arrived at the place, he met a gentry who had come "accidentally". Then the county magistrate asked in a question. The gentry replied with a low eyebrow. The two knew each other's identity, but they just didn't say it.

If you don’t say it, you can just pretend that you don’t know it, and you can be a “minor private visit”. Then there are some students around you holding pens and paper. In the blink of an eye, a “principal private visit picture” is released...

When there is no inspection by superiors, some Shandong workshops will deliberately use some old templates, and the numbers of the weapons and equipment created will of course be blurred. When it comes to the hands of soldiers, in order to avoid discarding or "damaging", many soldiers will deliberately polish it after they get the hands.

Therefore, the quality of weapons and equipment in Shandong is relatively average.

Here is a little bit worse, there is a little bit worse, if it adds up...

Cheng Yun held the sword and waited for Cao's army to approach.

Under the wind and snow, bows and arrows lost most of their functions.

At the same time, most of the effects were lost, including gunpowder.

Jiguan is just a main passageway, but there are many mountain paths at the intersection of Wangwu Mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain. Wangwu Mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain are both narrow and long but smaller mountains. For example, Zhongtiao Mountain, which stretches for hundreds of miles, and the smallest place is only more than ten miles.

Therefore, Cheng Yun’s task is to block the mountain road in front of him.

He is only responsible for this mountain road.

There were no special defensive equipment, and there was no time to arrange any turbulent traps. When Cheng Yun and Ran arrived, Cao's vanguard also arrived...

With a loud shout from Cao's army, the shield line advanced forward.

Cheng Yun was close to the ridge, so what he saw was the round shaking behind the two layers of shields.

『Stay!"

Cheng Yun shouted loudly and asked the spearmen to put the gun handle on the hook on the shield.

The shield wall turned into a hedgehog in a blink of an eye.

The bright spear tip exuded a biting chill in the flying snow, and the red tassel seemed to indicate something in the gray, white and black...

『Everything is stable!!』

Cheng Yun shouted loudly, and the soldiers around him also shouted loudly.

At this time, the soldiers on both sides often forget what they were calling, perhaps just to boost their courage.

The shield walls of both sides collided.

The shield squeezes the shield, and the swords and guns collided with the swords and guns.

Various sounds sounded one after another.

Both sides were looking for each other's loopholes while colliding, shaking each other with swords and guns.

The sound of blades and gun tips passing through shields and armor is like teeth slipping and scratching, which seems to penetrate from the surface of shields and armor to the bones.

And this sound is not the most terrifying...

The narrow passage was filled with people.

Flesh and blood fly.

Someone fell down from time to time.

The sound of the swords and guns hitting the body was like standing in the middle of more than a dozen butchers with a prosperous business.

Cheng Yun was strong and had a slight advantage in the first round of impact. Although he was pushed back by the opponent a small step, his feet were not scattered and his shield was kept well. On the contrary, Cao Jun's shield turned around, revealing a small figure with two armored figures.

Cheng Yun didn't even look at what the other party looked like, or perhaps he was intentionally not looking at the other party's face, but just used his shield to hold the opponent's shield tightly, then stuck his right hand out, aimed at the exposed arm of Cao Jun and stabbed him.

The blade stabbed into the upper part of the left arm of the Cao army soldier, and blood burst out, but the flesh was not deep.

The Cao army soldiers roared angrily and slashed Cheng Yun's right hand regardless of the pain.

Behind the injured Cao army soldiers, a Cao army soldiers tried to stab with a spear.

Cheng Yun quickly shrank his hand and drew his sword, blocking it with his shield, causing the opponent's attack to fall on the shield, making a dull collision sound.

The Cao army soldiers burst out fiercely, slashing and hitting Cheng Yun's shield, and pushed Cheng Yun with one step back. When he was about to lose his center of gravity, a loud shout suddenly came from Cheng Yun's ear. The spear soldiers behind Cheng Yun made up for their positions. The spear stabbed through the edge of the shield, and then a scream rang out from the shield.

The spearman ignored the position he had stabbed to, and used his shield as a rigging frame to stab it from the gap.

Blood splattered, and white smoke rose among the snowflakes.

His vision suddenly blurred.

White, red, mixed together.

Cheng Yun howled, and continued to stab forward with a knife, feeling that he had stabbed something. The hard one should be a shield, the soft one should be flesh, and the neither hard nor soft one should be armor.

There were also collisions on the shield from time to time, and the breath that pressed Cheng Yun was a little confused.

Screams and angrily shouted across the opposite side, and they were ringing through the shield.

A powerful force hit the shield, and the shield was pressed back with force. Then Cheng Yun felt a severe pain in his left shoulder.

Cheng Yun glanced at the corner of his eyes and saw a gun head retracting from the edge of the shield.

"Go to die! Dog thief to die!"

Cheng Yun was also aroused by fierceness, raised his shield and swung the spear upwards. Cheng Yun's vision suddenly widened a little because of the shield, and the Cao army's spearman showed his face. His face was covered with blood, and his face was covered with ferociousness and he was about to stab him.

Cheng Yun slashed the hand of the Cao army's spearmen. The Cao army soldiers had no time to retract their spears to block them, and subconsciously wanted to raise their hand to grab Cheng Yun's sword. The blade rolled the white smoke in the air, drew an arc, and cut off the arms of the Cao army soldiers with one knife, cutting off the hands of the Cao army soldiers. In the blood splash, yellow and white bones could be seen faintly.

Cao Jun screamed with his broken arm and was killed immediately...

Both sides fought to the death at the intersection, and the corpses were piled up all over the ground.

Both sides fought against each other while stepping on corpses, constantly filling in this flesh-and-blood battlefield.

Finally, the Cao army soldiers found that they could not repel the other party, and they suffered too much loss, and their morale began to collapse, and they shouted and fled backwards.

Cheng Yun shouted, chasing the Cao army soldiers and killing them, killing many Cao army soldiers and fleeing in panic.

After the war, Cheng Yun found that in addition to the wound on his left shoulder, there were three other wounds on his body and legs. However, because he had armor protection and skirts on his legs, his injuries were not serious.

Cheng Yun's eyes turned to the bloody battlefield.

Most of the two-dang armor.

For some reason, Cheng Yun couldn't help but touch the armor on his body. Even though the armor was covered with blood and mud, it still made Cheng Yun feel at ease when he touched it.

Um?

Something was wrong.

Cheng Yun endured the numbness of muscles after intense exercise, stood up and walked forward a few steps, then frowned and looked at the battlefield.

After reading it again, Cheng Yun remained silent for a long time.

"Junhou...what are you looking at?"

Cheng Yun asked, "These...these Cao's armor..."

"Hmm? Armor? They are all average, and they are much worse than ours."

Cheng Yun nodded, "I think... these Cao troops are not elite... So... where did those elite Cao troops go?"

...

...

Cheng Yun’s guess was correct.

What Cheng Yun and others encountered were not the elite Cao's army.

The elite Cao army was with Cao Xiu.

Cheng Yun is lucky, so naturally some people are not very lucky and meet the elite Cao army led by Cao Xiu.

In another muddy mountain road, the two sides fought hard.

The shields hit each other hard, and the spear and the sword stretched and contracted in the gaps of the shields, bringing out some bright red every time.

More than a dozen corpses were trampled under both sides and fell into mud and water.

The hot blood melted the freezing of the ground, and then mixed the snow and blood into dirty mud, splashing on everyone's feet.
