Chapter 774: Restraining the Cavalry

This official road is the only way for Huarong to reach Hanyang County.

Huang Zhong had already built some military facilities here in accordance with Liu Zheng's instructions, and waited for Ding Yuan's men to leave here and go to support Hanyang.

If Ding Yuan really went from here to support Hanyang, then Liu Zheng would take his own men and horses to intercept Ding Yuan here, and have a big battle with Ding Yuan, and wipe out all Ding Yuan's men and horses in this Huarong Road.

If Ding Yuan didn't go to the rescue of Hanyang and only stuck to Huarong, then Liu Zheng could also calmly mobilize troops and horses to encircle and suppress Hanyang.

Left and right, Liu Zheng is not embarrassed, he can attack when he advances, and he can defend when he retreats.

And when Liu Zheng's spies informed Huang Zhong of the news of Ding Yuan's troops, Huang Zhong immediately took precautions.

A rumbling sound came from afar.

It's long gone, Huang Zhong has never seen the world, so he naturally knows that this roaring place, like the sound of the earth shaking the sky, can only be made by cavalry.

As soon as he heard this rolling roar, Huang Zhong's face sank.

immediately glanced at the soldiers behind him, and said two words calmly.

"Here we are."

Behind Huang Zhong, 20,000 soldiers were already waiting here.

Their purpose here is to intercept the reinforcements from Huarong to Hanyang, and now that these people have finally arrived, Huang Zhong naturally knows that a big war is about to start.

Just when Huang Zhong and these soldiers looked solemn, a black line began to appear in the sky in the distance.

The black line approached, raising billowing sand and dust, and the yellow sand filled the sky, driving the charge of these enemy troops, so that the enemy quickly killed Huang Zhong and these horses.

When the distance was closer, Huang Zhong could clearly see the enemy in the distance, riding on some black war horses, galloping quickly, and the neighing of the horses could also be heard clearly at this time.

Even some of the enemy troops in armor could barely be seen.

"Trebuchet ready!"

Huang Zhong shouted, ordered the trebuchet shooters behind him, and began to prepare for projection.

In order to deal with these cavalry, Huang Zhong has thought of many methods, one of which is a catapult.

At a long distance, the range of arrows may not be reached, but catapults that can project catapults at longer distances can play a more powerful role than arrows under such a large-scale bombardment.

"Launch!"

Two words spit out from Huang Zhong's mouth, and several catapults at the rear of the battle array immediately pulled together the levers at this time.

Whoosh.

There were constantly stones shooting up from Huang Zhong's side.

A beautiful parabola was drawn in the air, and then the words quickly fell, landing in the cavalry phalanx in the distance.

The sound of a boom crashing on the ground, accompanied by a scream from afar, the mournful screams of the horses.

Huang Zhong knew that such a stone-throwing attack had already played some role.

The projection of stones, firstly, can strike at the enemy and directly hit the enemy on the horse, and secondly, after those stones fall, they can form an uneven road on the ground, so that the follow-up cavalry is not so easy to advance.

It will even fall because of this, as long as one horse falls to the ground, the subsequent war horses will be implicated and fall down in pieces.

Even if there were some lucky people who were able to break through the range of the trebuchet and rush to the front line, there were still some trenches that had already been dug on the ground, waiting.

There will be some horses lost in the way of this charge.

Even if only one or two percent of the more than 10,000 cavalry can be lost, it is enough for the cavalry under Ding Yuan to suffer a lot of casualties.

Ding Yuan did not personally direct these cavalry charges.

It's his own lieutenant.

The lieutenant was at the front of the group, roaring loudly and roaring.

Let the soldiers behind him rush forward.

"Rush! Kill me, our wolf rider is invincible! ”

"Don't be afraid, kill the past, kill the front, these enemy soldiers are sheep, meat in our mouths!"

These cavalrymen are not novices, they are all elites who have fought with the Huns in Bingzhou, so they naturally know how to obey orders.

Despite Huang Zhong's strong resistance, no one retreated, and no one felt afraid.

Under the frantic obstruction of Huang Zhong's side, he still controlled the war horse that was sitting down, and launched a fierce charge towards Huang Zhong's camp.

The cavalry approached again, and at this time, it was less than one hundred and fifty steps away from Huang Zhong's position.

One hundred and fifty paces is already within the range of shooters.

However, Huang Zhong did not let the soldiers behind him raise their bows and arrows.

Instead, he looked calmly into the distance, his eyes were cold, he looked calmly, and he didn't say anything.

Le Jin, who was standing on the side, was a little anxious.

Since Le Jin took refuge in Liu Zheng, he and Li Dian were assigned to Huang Zhong and served as deputy generals in Huang Zhong's army.

This time, against Ding Yuan, they were also under Huang Zhong's men, taking the lead.

"General, the enemy is near, when will the shooters shoot!"

Le Jin glanced at Huang Zhong and then asked.

But Huang Zhong didn't pay attention to Le Jin, but looked at the enemy army in the distance.

Watch them approach from afar.

"One Hundred and Fifteen ......"

"One Hundred and Twelve ......"

"One Hundred and Eleven ......"

"Ninety ......"

Le Jin heard Huang Zhong whisper these numbers.

I didn't quite understand what it meant for a while, but Huang Zhong was always the main general, and the main general did not give an order, and they, who were deputy generals, naturally couldn't act rashly, although they were anxious, but Le Jin was still waiting.

Only when those enemy cavalry rushed to a distance of only eighty paces from Huang Zhong and these people, Huang Zhong immediately shouted two words.

"Shoot the arrows!"

As soon as this order came out.

Immediately, those soldiers who were nervous with Huang Zhong behind them quickly relaxed, and launched the arrows that had been prepared in their hands at this time.

Whoosh!

Thousands of arrows rose into the sky at this time.

Countless arrows flew out.

The scene of tens of thousands of arrows rising into the sky is quite shocking.

When these arrows fell on the cavalry who rushed at the front, the scene was even more spectacular.

Some people fell directly from their horses, and after some people were hit by arrows, they let out a scream, but they still insisted on charging.

Someone was shot straight before he even had time to scream.

The war horses also hit a lot of arrows, but the war horses have rough skin and thick flesh, and one or two arrows alone cannot directly kill them, but they can disturb those war horses, make the war horses suffer, and thus lose control.

For a time, the cavalry that was charging in front of them was in a mess, which once again aggravated the damage of the cavalry.

blocked one after another, even if these cavalry under Ding Yuan could be regarded as elite, they couldn't withstand such a sniper.
