Chapter 84: Counting is Counting

Under the scorching sun, the locusts are like rain, the roar is like thunder, in front of the Yellow Turban Camp, the Han army launched wave after wave of attacks, because it has not made achievements for a long time, it has gradually shown its decline, and the attack is no longer as fierce as before.

Knock knock! Suddenly, the drums sounded loudly, and in the creaking sound, the gate of the Yellow Turban camp was wide open, and 20,000 Yellow Turban soldiers poured out of the camp with swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and crashed into the 5,000 Han troops outside the camp.

Seeing the yellow scarf several times his own killing, the Han army general saw that the situation was not good, turned around and fled, and the sharp-eyed veteran oil zi did the same, and slipped away no slower than the official.

The general had the courage of the soldiers, and lost the main general, and the army of 5,000 men was defeated in an instant, and countless soldiers still cared about attacking the enemy, and they threw away their armor one after another, and fled faster than rabbits.

The 20,000 Yellow Turban Army was like a bamboo, so cruel that the fleeing enemy cried for his father and mother, and when he was killing well, a terrible horn suddenly sounded in front of him.

The pursuers who rushed in front were dumbfounded all of a sudden, and as far as the eye could see, countless officers and soldiers stepped on the drums and densely lined up in dozens of phalanxes to surround and kill, and there was no end in sight all over the mountains, and the number was definitely more than them.

The enemy is cunning, and the previous five thousand are nothing more than bait ...

The soldiers of the Han army are indifferent and cold, the guns and halberds are like a forest, the armor is forested, and they are pressed over like a dark cloud, needless to say that they are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and the officers and soldiers are dispatching the main force, ready to strike with all their might, and they are afraid that they will be desperate.

The Yellow Turban Army is originally high morale, but people are not machines, they will be tired and afraid, and after killing most of the time, the surface is still alive and well, in fact, it is not, the reason is just because the victory is just around the corner, so everyone is as excited as playing chicken blood, and has long forgotten what fatigue is, and now it is ambushed by a large number of strong enemies, caught off guard, this momentum is vented clean, the steps that were originally quite brisk gradually become heavy, and the swords and guns wielded are also beginning to be weak, and they are no longer able to resist under the rush of the enemy's fresh army. had to retreat one after another.

Qu Shuai Guan Hai was so angry that he shouted: "If there is a retreater, cut it!" Before he finished speaking, he saw a cold light flashing, and four or five heads suddenly flew out, and blood sprayed the faces of the nearby soldiers, and everyone was frightened.

The next five hundred elites were all Yellow Turban wrestlers, and under Guan Hai's orders, they beheaded those deserters like wolves and tigers. The bloody shock lasted for several breaths, and after cutting off more than 100 heads in a row, he temporarily stabilized the situation, and then he suddenly remembered the explanation of the handsome man when he was leaving, he patted the back of his head, and was very remorseful, and he only cared about killing the enemy, and actually forgot about it.

So, he hurriedly raised his voice and shouted: "Cheer up Lao Tzu, our reinforcements will arrive soon." ”

The hundreds of yellow turban wrestlers immediately became microphones and shouted together: "Brothers, kill!" Reinforcements are coming. ”

The battlefield is only seven or eight miles away from his camp, and if he comes to help at full speed, it won't take more than half an hour.

Therefore, when the Yellow Turban soldiers heard that there were reinforcements behind them, they came to the spirit, not like just now they were just taking Guan Hai's obscenity and holding on, and after having hope, these people broke out again, and fought with the officers and soldiers, and gradually stabilized the battle line.

Not long after, the smoke and dust were billowing from the rear, and the Yellow Turban reinforcements of the brigade really arrived, numbering no less than 50,000, and they calmly advanced, and after forcing the officers and troops to retreat, they quickly took the friendly troops back into battle.

Seeing that the more than 20,000 Han troops could not take advantage of the sweetness, they immediately shrank their forces, withdrew two miles away in one go, and then re-arrayed themselves and confronted the Yellow Turban Army from afar.

The army of 670,000 Yellow Turbans repaired for a moment, and once again strode towards the enemy.

Suddenly, the earth under their feet began to tremble, and the rumbling and rumbling sound in their ears was like muffled thunder, from far and near, shaking people's hearts, making every Yellow Turban soldier terrified.

At one end of the horizon, the iron riders were clanging, like a torrent swept towards this place.

Thousands of horses are galloping, and the momentum is huge. When it was less than a mile away from the battlefield, the huge cavalry suddenly split into two, pointed at the north and south flanks of the Yellow Turban Army, accelerated again, and collided with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai.

Zhang Niujiao, the commander in the formation, sneered, and said secretly, General Rengong was clever, and he had expected that there was a conspiracy among the officers and soldiers... Come, Lao Tzu will come and entertain you well.

Behind the iron horse, the handsome flag of "Dong" fluttered high, surrounded by more than 100 guards and knights, Dong Zhuo's majestic body straddled the blue and white horse of the divine horse, mixed with the smell of blood, the cool breeze of hunting poured into his mouth and nose, making him extremely excited, only victory, victory after victory can prove his value on the battlefield.

Suddenly, Dong Zhuo's eyes widened, and his face was incredible! In his eyes, a strange car like a huge metal hedgehog appeared in his field of vision, the image was terrifying, the body of the car was inlaid with sharp blades, and it was pushed out one after another, exuding a cold and dazzling metallic luster.

The knife cart is the legendary knife cart.

Dong Zhuo's heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom.

Soon, thousands of knife carts were linked together with iron, protecting tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers inside, forming a mobile fortress.

Immediately afterwards, 5,000 sword and shield men and 10,000 pikemen stepped forward quickly, and the spears were either resting on the knife carts or between iron chains, forming an impeccable metal jungle.

Thousands of crossbowmen were already ready to wait for the enemy to come into range.

"Shoot!" When the two armies were a hundred paces apart, the commanders of both sides gave the order to release arrows at the same time.

Woohoo! Arrows swept like locusts, burrowing into the flesh and skin of the knights, and with a miserable wail, one unlucky egg after another fell to the ground like dumplings, and then turned into fertilizer for the earth under the iron hooves.

After a few waves of arrow rain, the knights of the Han army lost six or seven hundred people, although they did not hurt their muscles and bones, but in Dong Zhuo's eyes, they were painful, these thousands of Xiliang iron cavalry were almost his private army, and they were the capital for him to settle down in Xiliang, and each ride cost him a lot of money and food, where was he willing to fight with the yellow turban thieves who had many lives.

If the war continues according to this state of affairs, the officers and soldiers will not be able to take advantage of it at all, his brows are furrowed tightly, and after thinking for a while, he finally made up his mind, his grandmother's, play with a big vote, gritted his teeth, and two orders popped out from between his teeth.

"Order the whole cavalry to disperse and disturb the enemy's shooting, and not to meet the enemy and charge into formation."

"Order more than 20,000 infantry to press up, regardless of casualties, and tear a hole in the knife car formation."

The order was quickly issued, and the Han infantry group was also very powerful, after receiving the order, he immediately abandoned the defense for the attack, Dong Zhuo changed generals in the army in the past few days, and the key positions were replaced by his own people, and gradually grasped the right to speak, so there is today's order prohibiting.

The 20,000 Han troops were all assembled on the east side of the Yellow Turban Saber Carts array, densely packed, occupying only a small area in the east, and the rest of the place was handed over to the cavalry brothers to toss.

Knock knock, knock knock! The cowhide drum was high-pitched and fierce, and as soon as the battle was started, the soldiers of the Han army launched a decisive charge.

Behind the giant shield is in front of them, and behind them is a group of strong men with broad shoulders and round waists, armed with heavy weapons such as giant axes and sledgehammers, who want to smash open the thick turtle shell with their flesh and blood.

Kill!

Generals at all levels raised their swords in front, roaring hoarsely, and fighting hard in the rain of guns and arrows; Countless soldiers followed their commander and swept towards the sword chariot formation like a tidal wave. In the distance, the bed crossbow was already roaring, and thousands of crossbow arrows flew diagonally into the sky and crossed arcs, and finally fell like a torrential rain in the Yellow Turban Army, blood splashed, and one by one the lives returned to the underworld in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Niujiao didn't care, there were many people on his side, as long as the knife and car formation was not broken and the morale of the enemy was low, it was the time for him to counterattack.

Rumble! The warriors of the Han army crashed into the knife cart, and they couldn't dodge it at all, because the compatriots behind them were rushing forward, and they saw countless sharp blades piercing into the chest and abdomen, even if the blood sprayed wildly, the big axe in his hand was also fiercely chopped, and the iron-clad knife cart was slashed with a bang... One person fell, and the latecomer took over, wave after wave, on a front less than ten zhang wide, tens of thousands of people followed one after another without breaking a gap and vowed not to give up.

This small battlefield was like a meat grinder, and human lives were as cheap as mustard at this time, and soon, the casualties on both sides had exceeded thousands.

The Northern Army of the Han Dynasty is really an army that dares to fight and is good at fighting, living up to the name of the world's elite, and the brave combat power of sacrificing one's life and forgetting death makes even Zhang Niujiao's heart tremble, it turns out that the opponent who fought before did not go all out at all, in all fairness, their individual combat effectiveness is far from being comparable to that of the Yellow Turban soldiers.

On a dirt slope, Dong Zhuo stood on his horse, he clenched his fists, his eyes stared at the tragic battle situation on the Eastern Front without blinking, the balance of victory had tilted towards him, as long as a small gap was opened, with the repeated impact of thousands of iron horsemen, no matter how many thieves there were, it would be difficult to escape defeat in the end.

"General, it's not good! Our army's camp has been attacked and lost, and tens of thousands of thieves have turned around and killed, and they are only five miles away from here..."A gray-faced lieutenant reported in a trembling voice.

"Mess with our army's heart, and die innocently!"

But seeing a flash of cold light, the lieutenant's chest ached, and a sharp spear pierced his right chest, Dong Zhuo pulled out the spear, he was furious at the moment, and shouted in his heart: God, give me another hour; No, even for half an hour!

In fact, the defense line on the eastern side of the Yellow Turban Army is already in jeopardy, and it only needs to be strengthened... Hateful!

"The order was given, the infantry withdrew first, and the cavalry continued to harass the enemy position." Although the battle was lost, Dong Zhuo had a tenacious personality and was accustomed to seeing life and death, so he settled down in a moment, and still calmly gave orders, and he himself stayed with the cavalry to block the enemy.

The enemy is getting closer and closer, and the forward is less than a mile away...

Looking at the sky, General Zhonglang asked the adjutant general beside him: "How long has the infantry been withdrawn?" ”

"Back to the lord, it's been nearly half an hour." The lieutenant replied cautiously.

Dong Zhuo nodded and muttered, "It's almost, we should also withdraw." ”

The lieutenant general was about to tell Mingjin to withdraw his troops, when suddenly the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a cavalry slashed at him, numbering more than two thousand.

When did the Yellow Turban Thieves have so many cavalry?! Dong Zhuo could no longer be calm, and shouted hysterically: "Quick, collect the troops and retreat!" ”

However, it was too late, and the enemy horsemen did not give them a chance to gather, and pounced on them like wolves.

The Yellow Turban Army trapped in the sword car formation also took advantage of the situation to kill and cooperate with the cavalry.

The cavalry of the Han army had time to collect and gather in the future, and was flanked by the enemy's infantry and cavalry, so they had to fight separately and soon fell into a predicament.

Not long after, the Han cavalry, surrounded by an enemy ten times their size, began to flee in all directions, and there was no longer a chance to turn defeat into victory.

This battle was completely defeated, and Dong Zhuo had to escape for his life even if he was unwilling in every way.

Running for dozens of miles, there were only 400 cavalry left around him, Lao Dong was really uneasy, and soon after, Li Dao and Guo Yan caught up, and the two brought hundreds of horses, and there were thousands of horses in total, and Lao Dong was a little settled in his heart.

Suddenly, there was a loud hoof behind him, and a team of four or five hundred yellow turban knights was speeding up to kill, the current general, no more than twenty years old, but it was Chu Yan, he shouted: "Dong thief, if you don't get off the horse and surrender, the master may be able to spare your life!" ”

Dong Zhuo didn't answer, and fled for his life. But the generals under his command are gone, and the lord humiliates the ministers to death, where can he still endure it!

Guo Yan and Li Wei fought one after another, but they couldn't go Shihe in Chu Yan's hands.

In fact, the two of them are not so bad, but the situation is stronger than people, how can the defeated army be brave!

There are more and more chasing soldiers, and gradually they have bitten the tail of the Han cavalry, Dong Zhuo's heart is horizontal, now the enemy is not more than a thousand, as long as the leading general is killed, it is expected that the remaining shrimp soldiers and crabs may not dare to chase again, but the risk is also very large, once dragged by the young general, I am afraid that the hundred and ten catties will be explained here.
