Chapter Seventy-Nine: Victory or Death

"

In fact, there were not many people killed by the heavy cavalry with weapons, and most of them died under the hooves of the heavy cavalry sitting on their horses.

Most of these war horses are river meandering horses, and the weight of each horse is seven or eight hundred catties, plus about one hundred catties of armor and more than one hundred catties of knights, the weight is almost a thousand catties!

It is no joke to be stepped on by such a "heavyweight" war horse, not to mention that a large group of heavy cavalry ran over, and it was obviously impossible to have only one kick in the foot.

It is no exaggeration to say that stepping on the limbs is a fracture, stepping on the body is an internal injury, and stepping on the head is ...... That picture is too beautiful to think!

It was not the first time that Zhang Jiao had suffered a loss from heavy cavalry, so he also knew that in front of such an opponent, his crowd tactics were basically useless.

In game terms, it can't be broken even if it is prevented, and it is still hairy!

The most important thing is that he has fought so many times, and he already has a certain understanding of Xu Kang.

He knew that Xu Kang's habit was to break the formation in the center of the heavy cavalry, taking into account the killing of the flag, while the ordinary cavalry and infantry covered the killing on both sides.

In other words, if he doesn't run now, then let alone the front army, soon both the middle army and the rear army will be dragged into the water by each other, and then they will be coiled into self-containment.

"I can only run away!"

Although he felt humiliated, he had no other way now, so he immediately turned his horse's head and began to run away.

His decision was obviously right, not long after he ran, Zhao Hong and Zhang Chengcheng outflanked him from the side, surrounded his 40,000 former troops, and began to kill!

Hearing the shouts and screams from behind him, Zhang Jiao's face suddenly showed a little pain, but in the end he still did not choose to go back to the rescue, but gave a ruthless order.

"Withdraw...... Withdraw to Guangzong! ”

His order was tantamount to personally announcing the renunciation of the more than 40,000 Yellow Turban Sect members who were besieged.

At this moment, the little morale that the Yellow Turban Army had raised because of the defeat of Dong Zhuo and Zhang Wen fell to the bottom again.

But Zhang Jiao can't care so much, his dream of overthrowing the court has not yet been realized, and he is not willing to die like this.

For him, the yellow scarves he gave up were just the sacrifices he had to make to realize his ideals.

Although he thought so, the Yellow Turban Daoists who followed him didn't think so, for them, everything was secondary, and living was the important thing.

Therefore, in the process of retreating back to Guangzong, many people scattered and fled on the road, and Zhang Jiao was worried that he would be caught up by the officers and soldiers, and he didn't care about chasing the Yellow Turban deserters.

For him, escape! "

Leaving some people is nothing at all, as long as they can return to Guangzong, the source of troops can naturally be replenished.

The only thing that made him feel concerned was that the previous uneasiness became more and more intense as he gradually approached Guangzong City.

"What the hell is it?"

He began to think about the question, but before he could sort it out, a loud bang like thunder disrupted his thoughts again.

"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom Rumble ......"

Hearing this, his face changed again.

It was this thunderous voice that transformed the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans under his command from a group of soldiers full of faith back to defenseless peasants, and then let others slaughter them!

If the previous heavy iron rider made him feel fear and helplessness, then the sound of thunder at this time was his real nightmare!

He couldn't help but clench his fists.

"It's him again...... It's him again...... Why? ”

At this moment, he was afraid, he was angry, but he was also powerless.

It's as if before he apprenticed to Yuji, he watched a large number of people die of the plague, but there was nothing he could do.

"Am I really wrong?"

The thought popped into his mind, but was immediately thrown out of his mind.

"I'm not wrong, it's the thug who is wrong, since there is no way to retreat, let's fight to the death!"

Thinking of this, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and then he raised the sword in his hand high again.

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious! Kill! ”

As he shouted, the Yellow Turban Daoists who followed him also shouted.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

While shouting, they rushed towards the artillery phalanx where Xu Kang was in the distance.

500 meters......

400 meters......

300 meters......

Their thin cloth clothes could not stop the stones sprayed by the tiger squat cannons, and as the distance approached, their casualties continued to increase.

The sound of the Yellow Turban Daoist falling to the ground and the sound of screams constantly stimulated Zhang Jiao, making him feel pressured, but he also knew that he had no choice at this time.

Behind him were Xu Kang's cavalry and Huaihe soldiers, and once the other party defeated his front army, the next step would be on him.

Therefore, now only by defeating Xu Kang's artillery regiment and then retreating into Guangzong City can there be a glimmer of life!

He must win this battle!

And Xu Kang's thoughts are the same as Zhang Jiao's.

Behind him is Guangzong City, once Zhang Jiao is allowed to flee back, this time the battle will basically be considered a failure, so he can only gamble!

Bet that he can stop Zhang Jiao, and at the same time, bet that before Guangzong's reinforcements arrive, Zhao Hong and Zhang Cheng will come first!

This is a very dangerous gamble, and the result of failure is that all the artillerymen will be buried here, and the tiger squat artillery will also fall into the hands of the enemy!

This is the result that Xu Kang will never allow to appear, so he is also ruthless at this time.

"Loading gunpowder and stones has increased by fifty percent, and it is better to blow up the artillery than to leave it to the Yellow Turban Thief!"

"Yes!"

As soon as he gave the order, the artillerymen immediately increased the ammunition of the Tiger Squat Cannon, causing its power to skyrocket instantly!

At this time, the Yellow Turban Army began to rush to the near place and entered the 150-meter range of the artillery regiment, and it was also at this time that the Tiger Squat Cannon began to exert its strongest power.

The Tiger Squat Cannon has increased the loading capacity by 50%, and every time the cannon is fired, it not only makes the cannon sound more huge, but also greatly increases the lethality and the number of casualties!

After only three rounds of artillery fire, nearly 10,000 Yellow Turban troops fell on the way to the charge, completely shocking the Yellow Turban Army behind them and causing their attack to come to a standstill.

Of course, Xu Kang would not let go of this opportunity, and hurriedly commanded the artillerymen to reload their ammunition and prepare for the next shelling.

At this time, his heart was very excited, because he knew that as long as there were three or five rounds of shelling at most, even if Zhang Jiao shouted loudly, these Yellow Turban Daoists would directly collapse and escape!

"I will win this battle!"

Although he thinks so, the reality is often unsatisfactory.

Only two rounds of shelling were carried out, and the artillerymen reported to him a piece of news that he least wanted to hear - there was no ammunition!

There was some gunpowder left, but the stones for firing were gone.

Hearing this news, Xu Kang was startled at first, but then his face instantly became firm again.

"If there is no stone, load the gunpowder and release the cannon, and if you leave two hundred people, you will continue to fire the cannon, and the movement cannot be stopped, and the others will be killed with me!"

After saying that, he summoned his armored war horse, and at the same time took out two crimson Flame Demon Hammers from the space backpack, and then swung them vigorously.

"Victory, death, lok039tarogar!"

Hearing his roar, the artillerymen behind him also raised their weapons and shouted in unison.

“lok039tarogar!” Great Celebrities of the Three Kingdoms
