Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 290 Battle of Gaoping City ([-])
Cao Zhen pressed both hands on the handrails of the nest cart, looked at Dianman leading the Tiger Guards, who were as powerful as an enemy, and praised repeatedly: "It really has the style of his father!"

Dianman is the son of the brave general Dianwei. After Dianwei died in battle, Dianman was raised by Cao Cao in the mansion since he was a child. When he grew up, he joined the Tiger Guard Army to inherit his father's career.

Zhao Yan praised him and said: "General Dian is extremely brave. The Tiger Guards under his command attack like a tiger descending a mountain. The speed is so fierce that the Shu army is terrified."

Cao Zhen saw that Dianman had advanced a little too far, waved his hands, and said, "Let Hao Zhao's former army press up and guard the left and right sides of the Tiger Guards to prevent the Shu army from encircling them."

"promise!"

Sure enough, before Cao Zhen could finish speaking, several tiger-patterned military flags in the Han army formation were facing each other, and the left and right flanks of the Han army moved closer to the center at the same time, trying to pinch the tiger infantry.

At this time, Dianman was panting heavily, wearing more than ten kilograms of heavy armor to participate in the fierce battle, which consumed a lot of his physical strength.

Dianman glanced at the surrounding enemy formations, and found that apart from the banners of his Tiger Guards, there were fiery red banners standing in front of and beside the formations.

Immediately, Dianman shouted: "Form a round formation and move closer to the front army."

"promise!"

After nearly a thousand tiger guards got the order, they alternately covered and fought, and retreated while fighting, slowly approaching the front army.The surrounding Wei Jun also desperately approached the Tiger Guards.

Suddenly, the Han army holding shields in front slowly pulled away to the sides, revealing a passage.

Dianman, who commanded the formation of the Tiger Guards, stopped and suddenly raised his head, only to see several tall battle flags with tiger patterns appearing in front of the formation.

A gust of wind blew by, and the banners fluttered. Dianman held the short halberd tightly and stared ahead as if he was facing an enemy, because he smelled as dangerous from the Han army in front as his Tiger Guards.

Huo Yi was wearing a heavy armor with five-fold sleeves, and was holding a Puyuan Han knife. The armor was covered with a tiger-striped war robe, and the strong wind blew the tiger-striped war robe on his body.

And beside Huo Yi, a tall general with a height of more than eight feet, a waist of ten circumferences, and a majestic appearance stared at the tiger guards ahead.

Huo Yi waved his hands and said in a cold voice: "Zi Dou (Meng Yan's character), meet the enemy!"

"promise!"

This general is Meng Yan, the deputy general of the Tiger Army, Mencius Dou, a native of Zhuti County, Yizhou, and the same clan as Meng Huo.Because of his bravery and outstanding military exploits during the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang was appointed as the deputy general of the Tiger Army.

"Boys, follow me!"

Meng Yan held up the hatchet in his hand, and hundreds of tiger infantry behind him roared in unison, and at the same time raised the Pu Yuan Han blade and shield in his hand.

"Wan Sheng!"

At the command of Meng Yan's army, the Tiger Army was like a beast that had lost its chain, roaring out in an instant.

Dianman's expression was solemn, he had no way to retreat at this time, he had to fight, besides, the Tiger Guards under his command were also brave, how could he be afraid of the Shu army.

Dianman raised his short halberd fearlessly and shouted, "Fight!"

The tiger infantry and tiger guards quickened their pace and came towards each other.

"Good time!" Meng Yan strode forward and shouted.

The top two elite heavy infantry troops of the Three Kingdoms quickly approached, and they were deeply wedged into one place in the next instant.

In an instant, the sounds of the impact of the shield wall, the cracking of armor pieces, and the interlacing of weapons sounded at the same time, pouring into the eardrums fiercely.Meng Yan, who was at the forefront of the queue, had his entire field of vision filled with Wei Jun.

A sharp piercing sound rang from Meng Yan's ears, followed by a chill.Meng Yan raised his arm and raised the hook to set the frame, then twisted his waist and exerted strength, trying to push it away.But he never thought that the short halberd would remain unmoved and continue to press down.

Dianman's short halberd slanted slightly, rubbed the hook inlaid with sparks from the small shield, released the force pushed back by Meng Yan, and stabbed obliquely towards Meng Yan's chest.

Life and death were in an instant, Meng Yan saw that the tip of the halberd was about to touch his body, he roared, raised his arm and raised the hook to lift it up with all his strength, and swung the hatchet to sweep outward.

Seeing this, Dianman took a step back, straightened his hips and retracted his abdomen, Senhan's ax blade passed by at high speed, clanging loudly, sparks flew, and Dianman's armor skirt and iron ring armor burst out instantly.

However, Dianman was still in shock, when he looked up.Seeing Meng Yan gaining power, he roared angrily, and smashed his hatchet down on his head.Dianman gritted his teeth and didn't back down, but raised his short halberd unwilling to show weakness, and received Meng Yan's forceful blow.

"clang!"

Dianman's complexion changed drastically, he didn't expect the force on the ax to be so strong, his physical strength was a little exhausted after a long battle, and this blow directly knocked his knees down.

Dian's face was red, his ears were red, his teeth were clenched, the short halberd in his hand was trembling, and his jaw was in pain.

Meng Yan raised his arm and hooked it up, and the hook was lowered with a sharp hook, heading straight for Dianman's abdomen.

In fear, Dianman quickly abandoned his halberd, rolled backwards, and escaped from Meng Yan's attack range.

After rolling, Dianman took out his halberd from his waist, his eyes sharpened, his ape arms straightened, and he threw a very short halberd viciously, straight to Meng Yan's chest.

The hand halberd drew a cold straight line in the air, and instantly appeared in front of Meng Yan.

Meng Yan's eyes danced with coldness, and he retracted his arms and raised a hook with a small shield to block.

"clang!"

The hand halberd that Dianman threw with all his strength collided with the small hook-embedded shield, and the hand halberd pierced the surface of the iron shield, leaving a white mark on it, and then fell to the ground.

Dianman was a little terrified, and the fighting spirit rising in his heart disappeared like flowing water.

The hook inlaid is a weapon combined with a hook and a shield. There are hooks on the upper and lower sides and a small shield in the center. It has three functions of defense, hook and push.

But you must know that the most difficult weapon to master today is hook inlays. There are very few army officers and soldiers who use hook inlays, and almost none are proficient in them.

But this Shu general in front of him can use it with a short axe. His left hand and the hook are integrated into one.

Holding a short axe, Meng Yan raised his hook and glared at the soldiers of the Tiger Guards in front of him, like a Tai Sui god in the world, majestic and majestic.

The tiger guards were not afraid, they gathered shields to form a wall, guarding Dianman in the center, and retreated while fighting, retreating slowly.

Cao Zhen stood solemnly on the nest cart, watching the banners and banners of the Tiger Guards retreating to the rear, and the tiger-striped banners of the Han army quickly followed, and he knew that the Tiger Guards were repelled.

The sudden retreat of the Tiger Guards caused the soldiers of the Wei Army who broke into the Han army to fall into chaos. Under the leadership of Meng Yan, the Tiger Army quickly killed the soldiers of the Wei Army.

"General Meng, General Huo ordered the general to retreat, not to pursue deeply, return to the formation and rest."

When Meng Yan was about to pursue and enter the Wei formation, the personal guard sent a message.

Meng Yan nodded, raised his arms and shouted, "Tiger infantry, retreat!"

The Tiger Army's unique command flag waved to signal retreat.

A group of tiger infantry glanced at the left ear of the Wei army soldier lying on the ground, but they retreated immediately without hesitation. The strict military discipline had already let them know the price of violating discipline.

Just like this, the front lines of the Han and Wei armies remained unchanged, and the front soldiers of the two armies continued to fall into fierce battles, waiting for new changes to occur on other fronts.
