Volume 2 Chapter 49 Night Attack (II)
Peng Tuo's camp is exactly opposite to the camp where Yang Gu and Huang Ting are stationed, and it goes down all the way from Gaopo, and about a mile back is where the gate of Peng Tuo's camp is located, and the place where the Han cavalry attacked and rioted at night was just in front of Peng Tuo's camp.
After Peng Tuo and Yu Qian went out of the military tent together, the guards who had just ordered them to go out of the tent and lead the horses had already gathered more than 30 people, each wearing armor and leading the horses, and was ready to go.
Peng Tuo couldn't help but praise, and sighed again: "If I can have 300 horses in my camp, I should also form a tiger cavalry, how can I still be afraid of the Han army's cavalry?" ”
Between the words, the shouts outside the camp gate became heavier and heavier, and Peng Tuo immediately restrained his mind and ordered in a loud voice: "Runan sons, follow me to fight." ”
After receiving the order of the master, the many Taiping Taoist soldiers who have been assembled naturally echoed loudly, although this Pengtuo camp is the party that was robbed of the camp, but at this moment, it is also high morale, and there is a heroic atmosphere.
However, everyone followed Peng Tuo's horse to the camp gate, and the scene was a different scene.
I saw that the Han cavalry outside the gate did not rush to kill the camp, but more than ten or twenty people as a team, each in formation, and shot at the guards of the Yellow Turban Battalion with a bow, and then waited for the Yellow Turban soldiers to come out of the camp with the intention of encircling them, and these more than ten teams of Han cavalry covered each other, covering each other and delaying, although the Yellow Turban soldiers were far superior in numbers, but after all, they were helpless against these hundreds of Han troops.
Peng Tuole stood in the open space in the camp, and only then did he order more than 30 cavalry behind him to complete the formation, but he was already stunned to see that these hundreds of Han cavalry were so heroic, so that the pride outside Fang Cai's tent disappeared in an instant.
On the contrary, Yu Qian took the lead and asked: "Qu Shuai, after the soldiers are in formation, you can order to rush and kill." ”
Peng Tuo glanced back at Yu Qian, and then looked at the more than 30 horsemen behind him, suddenly shook his head again and again, and sighed: "Yu County Cheng, you don't have to take this big risk, now you are no longer Cai County Cheng, these Han soldiers recognize you, but they can't spare you, you can't die, you can't die!" ”
Yu Qian tightened the reins, did not retreat, and said firmly: "Our army is several times the Han army, and we will not let these three hundred Han army knights be so wantonly humiliated." ”
Seeing that Peng Tuo still didn't react, Yu Qian even more earnestly persuaded: "Qu Shuai, if you suffer this humiliation tonight, it means that our army has not suffered much damage, but the momentum of the whole army will definitely be sluggish, and if you want to go up the mountain to attack the Han army camp, it will be difficult!" ”
Peng Tuo's expression froze, and then his eyes lit up, staring at Yu Qian, and said, "There is no longer a Han in Yu County's heart?" Is it so expected that my Taiping Dao army will defeat the Han army in one fell swoop? ”
Yu Qian shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed: "It's all at this time, can't Qu Shuai still believe in old age?" ”
Fu pointed to his head again, and said with a smile: "My Yingchuan Yu clan is also a local family, but the court traitors are in charge, and several generations of talents of the Yu family have been harmed by the party and difficult to become ambitious, Yu Qian is more than half a hundred years old, and he has long been in the world without worrying about fame and fortune, although he was a county before, but only for the benefit of the people, and the people, but if there is chaos today, the court regards the people more like ants, and the great sage and good teacher can make the world's leaders attach themselves wholeheartedly, which is benevolent, which is abuse, although Yu Qian is not talented, but he also knows in his heart, and today he has gone to the silk crown, There is no big man in his heart, Qu Shuai should not hesitate anymore! ”
Peng Tuo's eyes were already red when he heard it, and his heart was excited, so he still held Yu Qian's hands tightly in his hands when he stood on the horse, and praised him again and again.
It was in this harmonious and touching situation, but when he heard a loud shout, he suddenly jumped in his ears, and everyone looked for prestige, but saw that the young general in silver armor and more than 20 horsemen had already arrived at the gate of the camp of Depeng, and he was only thirty steps away from him. ”
However, he burst into a shout, although the more than 20 knights of the Han army behind him could hear it clearly, but also called the yellow turban soldiers in the camp to hear it clearly, all the yellow turban soldiers heard that the young general was drinking like this, and they all looked back at Peng Tuo, seeing that the main general was here, where would they dare to retreat again, in order to prevent the young general in front of him from risking his life and not afraid of death to rush to the camp, all the soldiers immediately reined in formation, and quickly formed a wall of flesh in the open space thirty steps away.
I didn't want the young general to be angry, but instead laughed and said, "It's time to cut off more heads today as a merit!" ”
After that, he rode into the dust and rushed straight to the wall in the camp.
More than 20 cavalry cavalry of the Han army behind him, seeing that the main general was rushing to kill, naturally could not delay and stay, and they all shouted loudly, and immediately raised their spears and spears, and the horses became a momentum of rushing and killing
In fact, the cavalry is not a wise choice for cavalry combat, one is because the cavalry at this time does not have stirrups, and it is a very dangerous thing to ride a horse at high speed, if you are not careful, you will either break a bone or be seriously injured or fall to death directly, and the other is because the cavalry rushes into battle, as long as the enemy is in a careful formation, the soldiers have strong psychological quality, and can resist the first round of attack of these tall horses, then the cavalry behind is easily disturbed by the blocked horses in front, especially in a relatively small space. Such interference will become more and more obvious, so most of the cavalry battles are mainly based on cavalry shooting, which can not only give full play to the mobility advantages of the cavalry, but also minimize the loss of cavalry numbers.
Therefore, like this young general of the Han army, who led the cavalry troops and directly entered the camp to kill, even these Yellow Turban thieves who were peasants in the past and had not actually fought in the eyes of the Yellow Turban thieves were tantamount to suicide attacks, and they came to send people's heads!
Seeing this, Peng Tuo was overjoyed, intending to rely on the more than 200 yellow turban soldiers in front of him to capture the young general directly, and immediately shouted: "Set up a deer barricade, block the Han army outside the camp, do not release arrows, and capture the thief and general alive!" ”
Having received the order, among them the Yellow Turban soldiers either echoed loudly or roared loudly, but looking at their appearances, they were all quite bold, and there were even three or five of them who were not afraid of the heavy momentum of the young general's galloping horse, and waved their blades forward.
The young general saw that the three or five people did not know whether they were dead or alive, and they were coming, and they were naturally overjoyed, because they were sitting on a horse, and their body was extremely tall, and they waved the long lance in their hands to remove all the weapons of the two yellow turban thieves, and the horses were galloping rapidly, and the one or two thieves who swung the weapons for them felt that their strength was heavy, and they were a little late, and the weapons were immediately taken off, and they collided with the horses. He also raised his front hooves and turned them off the horse.
Seeing this, Peng Tuo liked to exclaim: "Take it quickly, don't hurt anyone." ”
When the Yellow Turban thieves heard the Lord's order, they naturally put away their blades and stepped forward to arrest them with their bare hands.
However, the Han army was shocked when they saw the commander fall off the horse, and the chief officer with a slight rank hurriedly gave a loud order and attacked with all his might.
These more than 30 horses, the momentum of the horse was only slightly weaker than that of the young general, and since he was the commander in charge of the army, he immediately no longer controlled the speed of the horse, so the momentum of more than 30 people almost collided with this lightning and stone fire and slammed towards the Yellow Turban formation.
On the other hand, the Yellow Turban camp, both heard that Peng Tuo ordered to unload the blade, and coincided with the Han cavalry to speed up, with bare hands to resist the galloping horses, naturally it is difficult to have the slightest advantage, the Han army more than 30 horsemen rushed at full speed, or with horses to strike, or with cavalry with spears to kill, in this moment, more than 200 Yellow Turban soldiers in front of the battle, immediately casualties more than half, but such a suicide impact is also difficult to ensure the safety of the cavalry, the Han army fell off the horse and died in trampling half of the people.
Where had the rest of the uninjured people in the Yellow Turban Array seen such a formation, and they scattered and fled for their lives, so that the array in front of the camp was in chaos.
Although the young general landed and dismounted, he was able to lose his dexterity and rolled on the spot, but he was not injured, and when his comrades behind him rushed with all his strength, he created a precious opportunity for him to get up and get out of danger. ”
The cavalry of the Han army saw that the main general was out of danger, and the momentum of the horse collision under him was exhausted, and they immediately drew their knives and jumped off their horses together.
Peng Tuo was shocked when he saw this, and he was about to turn the horse's head and run for his life, but he grabbed the reins for Yu Qian on his side, and he was puzzled, turning his head to look at Yu Qian, but he heard Yu Qian say loudly: "The generals will obey the order and attack with all their might." ”
It turned out that Yu Qian saw that this young man would have such an advantage over the infantry with a cavalry impact, and this time he saw that the Han army was less than fifteen people, and they all dismounted to fight.
Unexpectedly, this action not only failed to frighten the Han army in front of him, but the young Han general even laughed and said: "Moth thief, come forward to die, brothers don't hurt the horses, just kill people!" ”
Between the words, more than ten Han troops not only did not retreat, but instead perched forward, or stabbed the leg with a knife, or slashed their hands with a knife, Peng Tuo's thirty cavalry guards called the Han army close, there was no impact distance, naturally could not be as long as the Han army, but could only wave a spear, and try their best to kill the Han army under him.
However, although the number of the Han army is very small, they are all wearing iron armor, if the yellow turban guards can not stab the neck and cheeks of the Han army, such a spear without impact force can not hurt in case, plus these more than 30 people have never been used for Peng Tuo's strength, and they are not good at riding, so that after such a moment of fighting, the injured and dead are all Peng Tuo's personal guards.
Seeing this, Yu Qian's eyes were empty, and he was stunned on the spot, thanks to Peng Tuo's hard dragging, which supported Yu Qian, and the two of them broke through their own cavalry array, and finally reached a safe place.
Seeing this, the young man immediately shouted again: "The thief will leave, dare to come forward and fight to the death!" ”
Peng Tuo looked at his face from a distance, and his face was already pale with fright, and he immediately ordered loudly: "Release the arrow!" Shoot the arrows! ”
Upon learning of the movement of the main general's camp, the Yellow Turban soldiers who rushed to support heard the order, and without hesitation, they immediately opened their bows and arrows, and were about to shoot more than ten Han troops in front of the camp.
"Seize the horse and retreat, don't fall in love!"
A rain of arrows fell, but the iron armor of the Han army was really thick and solid, and the person who was hit by the arrow was only injured, but he was not killed, but in this gap, more than ten Han soldiers had already taken those personal guard horses, and galloped out of the camp gate.
"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!" Peng was deflated by his beard, and shouted loudly: "Shoot the horse!" Shoot the horse! ”
However, the open space in front of this camp is only thirty steps away from the camp gate, and the Yellow Turban Camp has not set up a walled gate, so a few deer can't stop these Han knights with superb riding skills.
The Yellow Turban camp was depressed from top to bottom, but at this time, I saw that the young Han general actually led more than ten Han soldiers to turn their horses' heads, and immediately immediately stood fifty steps away from the camp gate, shouting loudly: "The corpse of my comrade, take care of it, he will come to retrieve it in Japan!" ”
Peng Tuo was speechless in anger, his whole body trembled, but he also shouted loudly when he sneaked his horse to the camp gate: "Come and leave your name!" ”
But I saw more than ten iron horses, faintly disappeared in the night, and the sound of breaking through the sky was just "Yanmen Zhang Liao".
