Chapter 527: The Han cavalry rushed into battle and defeated the thief's aid
The vast and desolate sound of the horn alarmed the two armies fighting on the battlefield, and many soldiers diverted their attention while fighting hand-to-hand, squinting into the distance, and when they saw the tens of thousands of troops wearing yellow turbans that suddenly appeared in the distance of the battlefield, their expressions were different.
The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were naturally ecstatic, after all, the situation was not in their favor, although they were trying their best to hold on, but if they continued to be attacked by the Han army like this, they would only be doomed. As for the Han army, it was clear that they could annihilate the enemy after a little more time, but the enemy came to reinforcements, so they were naturally terrified, which can really be described as great joy and sorrow.
"It's urgent, Fu Pingkou, I want to lead the army to supervise the battle here, lead my army to cavalry, and block the moth thief reinforcements." Huangfu Song was the chief general of this rebellion, and when he saw that the matter was urgent, he did not hesitate to order Fuquan Dao. His strategy is also very simple, that is, let Fu Quan lead the Han army, Fu Quan and Huangfu Song's army of nearly 3,000 cavalry left, to block the reinforcements of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief, and he will use the current time to first solve the soldiers and horses intercepted by the Han Army on the spot, and meet the Fuquan cavalry to fight a decisive battle with the reinforcements of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief.
Therefore, this victory and defeat are all determined by whether the nearly 3,000 cavalry of Fuquan can withstand the reinforcements of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief. If it can be stopped, the Han army will win this battle, and if it is unstoppable, it will be defeated.
"No!" Fu Quan saluted in response, then got on the horses brought by his own soldiers, and shouted to the surroundings: "Whatever can hit the enemy, kill the enemy with me!" After drinking, he rode to the reinforcements of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief first, and now the battle situation is dangerous, and he can't help but have a conflict with Huangfu Song, if he loses, I'm afraid he himself will not be able to protect himself.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
……
A moment later, in the rear of the Han army, with the sound of a passionate horn, countless Han knights marched closely behind the Fuquan horses. They echoed each other loudly, galloping wildly, whether they originally belonged to the command of Fuquan or Huangfu Song, their eyes were fierce at this moment, and they sprinted towards the Yellow Turban Moth Thief with a spirit that a strong man would never return.
Looking at most of the Yellow Turban Moth thieves in front of him, Fu Quan knew that if he wanted to win this battle, his nearly 3,000 horsemen mixed with Huangfu Song's tragic army would become the key reliance. After all, the cavalry attacking the infantry with incomplete armor, especially like these many yellow turban moth thieves wrapped in coarse cloth, as long as they can break up the enemy's formation, unless an accident occurs, it is not difficult to win more with less, which is also the reason why Huangfu Song made a quick decision.
I saw that the Han cavalry surged forward, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and when they reached nearly sixty or seventy steps with the rescued yellow turban moth thief, under the order of Fuquan, these cavalry found the longbow around them one after another, and shot arrows at the yellow turban moth thief in front of them.
"Uh...... Ah......h
The Yellow Turban Moth Thieves on the opposite side, even if many soldiers were shot by flying arrows, let out a cry of pain, and fell on their backs, their formation could not prevent a trace of stagnation and confusion.
After a round of arrow rain on this side, the Han cavalry then another round of arrow rain, and after two rounds of arrow rain, they immediately put a longbow in the middle of the march, took out a long knife or spear, and rode their horses to charge.
At this time, the Han army was still more than 20 steps away from the Yellow Turban Moth Thief, and then in a short moment, the Han Army broke into the military formation of the rescued Yellow Turban Moth Thief with a conical phalanx.
"Bang! Boom! Bang ......"
"Uh...... Ah......h
……
The sound of bones shattering came and went, and the Yellow Turban Moth thieves suddenly cracked like waves, crying and being hit by the Han cavalry, and the originally tight formation was immediately divided into two halves by the Han army.
The Han army entered the enemy formation, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Yan Yan, and Ju Yi tightly guarded Fuquan and rushed to the front. The rest such as Fu Xie, Han Dang and other generals followed, these people are not idle people, at this moment into the enemy formation, murderous, drinking and drinking, waving weapons in their hands, all the yellow turban moth thieves who blocked the advance of the Han army, all were cut to the ground, countless moth thieves saw the fierceness of the Han generals, and were immediately frightened like a tide, and took the initiative to retreat to both sides of the Han cavalry.
These Han troops, whether they were under the command of Fu Quan or under the command of Huangfu Song, were all elite cavalry and excellent in cavalry and archery. The soldiers under the command of Fuquan will not be mentioned, most of them are based on the cavalry foundation of Fuquan in the past years to conquer Xianbei, and the soldiers of Huangfu Song are all Liangzhou warriors, most of them are the elite soldiers of the Han army who have fought against the Qiang people over the years, and there are also some elites of Zhang Huan who conquered Xianbei, and the combat power is not far behind.
Like a hurricane, they blew through the weak formation of the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves, only to see the exchange of swords, bows and crossbows, wanton slashing, devouring life. Wherever the Han army passed, it can be said that the stumps flew wildly, the heads fell to the ground, and the corpses of the moth thieves became a pile of broken bones and rotten flesh, and the ground in this wilderness was also stained with blood, and countless green herbs were stained with the blood red of the demon. After that, the two battalions of shooting tigers and falling eagles entered the situation and stepped through the bloody and blurred positions.
A few moments later, the Han army completely smashed the Yellow Turban Moth Thief's formation into two sections, of course, this was not the end, and then they turned around in the rear formation of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief under the command of Fu Quan. Then after arriving on the right side of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief, he attacked directly from the right side of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief again, intending to break the Yellow Turban Moth Thief's military formation into two sections from the front and back, and then from the left and right sides, into four sections.
Bocai rode his horse in front of the Yellow Turban Army to rescue, and when Shicai Fuquan led the troops to charge, he took the initiative to retreat because of the fierce arrow rain of the Han cavalry, and fortunately, otherwise he would have been killed by the Han cavalry charging when he had just brought reinforcements.
As for Bocai's reinforcements, it is natural that the Yellow Turban Moth thief who was kept by Bocai outside the city of Changshe was besieged, and the Yellow Turban General who was appointed by Bocai to stay in the besieged city, after seeing Bocai and the Han army for half a day, he did not see the two armies separating the victory and defeat, and then got the scout report, Bocai was attacked by the Han army before and after, and was very shocked.
However, although he was surprised by how the reinforcements of the Han army appeared again, the general still did not forget Bocai, and hurriedly ordered 15,000 soldiers, including 3,000 armored soldiers, to reinforce Bocai.
Later, after Bo Cai abandoned his soldiers and horses and bypassed the Ban Yu barbarian army formation in Fuquan, the two armies met, Bo Cai was delighted, and quickly took over the command, leading the soldiers and horses who rushed to support the elite soldiers of the headquarters who were still surrounded by the Han army at this moment, which happened just now.
It's just that even if Bocai brought reinforcements, most of the soldiers and horses he supported were the Yellow Turban Moth thieves who were used as cannon fodder by him, and now when they encounter the elite of the Han army under the command of Fuquan, it can be said that they have no power to fight back.
Seeing this, Bo Cai knew that he could not let the Han army be arrogant, although he himself knew that this support army might not be the opponent of the Han army, but since he had already come to support, he would naturally not give up. After all, on the battlefield, the situation is ever-changing, no one can say who wins and who loses, and he can't say that he will lead his troops to break the Han cavalry, and then support the Yellow Turban Army that was attacked by the Han army in front, in that case, there will still be a chance to turn defeat into victory in this battle.
For Bo Cai, who is determined to eliminate Huangfu Song, at least let him be hit hard and cannot quell the chaos, as long as there is some hope, he will not give up, so he hurriedly ordered the three thousand armored soldiers in this army to line up against the Han army, and ordered other unarmored soldiers to respond from the side, at this moment he can only hope for his numerical advantage.
However, the field battles between cavalry and infantry are never determined by the number of people, and there is no doubt that cavalry has a great advantage over infantry.
What's more, now that the formation of the Golden Army is chaotic, although Bo Cai ordered the order to pass the order as soon as possible, it will take a lot of time when the order is transmitted to the formation of the Yellow Turban Army. During this period of time, the Han army, which originally continued to attack the Yellow Turban Army formation, had already entered the Yellow Turban Army formation, and naturally those Yellow Turban Army armorers who were scattered because of the Han army's archery and chaotic formation did not even have the opportunity to line up at all.
The armored warriors of the countless yellow turban moth thieves can only have time to form a formation of a few people, but this bit of formation, facing the Han cavalry who is sprinting, is undoubtedly a mantis arm as a car, and he can't measure himself.
After that, the outcome of this battle can be predicted, at the beginning, the Han army broke through the formation of the Yellow Turban Moth thieves, it took about four quarters of an hour, and this time, the Han army only took two quarters of an hour.
That's right, it only took the Han army two quarters of an hour to break through the formation of the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves again, and then they did the same, turning and charging, this time trying to break through from the rear of the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves in front of them, until the Yellow Turban soldiers were broken by the breakthrough of the Han cavalry.
I don't know how long it took, when the Han army attacked the Yellow Turban Army for the fifth time, the Yellow Turban Army, which had already been divided into more than ten sections by the Han cavalry, completely collapsed. They fled in all directions like a tsunami, and the army formation was suddenly shattered, regardless of how Bo Cai ordered the generals to restrain them, there was nothing, although a few people were holding on and not retreating, but many more were scattered.
In this regard, Fu Quan was naturally unceremonious, and after ordering the cavalry to charge and kill those who were still stubbornly resisting, he ordered the cavalry under his command to be divided into two parts, one to drive and kill behind the fleeing Yellow Turban reinforcements, and the other to return to the main force of the Han army to support Huangfu Song.
The reason for this is naturally to prevent these routing Yellow Turban soldiers from attacking the Han army formation that is fighting with other Yellow Turban moth thieves, so as not to have an unexpected situation, so that these routs can disrupt the original advantage of the Han army. The second is to stimulate morale, after all, as long as the cavalry of the Han army comes back, even if there are only a few hundred people, but for those who are still fighting with the main force of the Han army Huangfu Song, what kind of heavy blow is it, as for the main force of the Han army of Huangfu Song, it naturally inspires a higher morale.
"Defeat after defeat, as it is! Remove! Seeing this scene, Bo Cai cried out in pain, although it was a little ridiculous that he pinned his hopes on that slim chance of victory, but he was also prepared, and he once again immediately decided to flee with his soldiers and horses, and hundreds of horsemen once again went straight to Changshe with the thousands of people gathered.
"Prince! The thief is the first wave of talents! Ju Yi's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Bo Cai fleeing in the direction, he hurriedly pointed and shouted, and then wanted to lead someone to pursue.
"Slow!" Fu Quan immediately interrupted: "Don't chase after the poor, there are still tens of thousands of thieves outside the city of Changshe, and there are few soldiers in our army. ”
"This ......" Ju Yi pondered, although he was a little reluctant, but he still saluted and obeyed the order and said "No".
However, the scorching light in Ju Yi's eyes at this moment shows his inner thoughts, after all, it can be the head of the thief, and after being captured, it will be a great achievement, which is also the reason why his family ordered him to take private soldiers to be recruited by Huangfu Song to join the army, but now he wants to give up, so he is naturally unwilling. It's just that he is unwilling to return, but Fu Quan said that it is also reasonable, with the horsepower of Bocai, he will soon be able to escape to the city of Changshe, Ju Yi asked himself, he can't catch up with Bocai who is bent on fleeing during this period, even if it is difficult for others, not to mention, he has to be caught in the Yellow Turban Moth thief who still has more people than himself.
Of course, the most important reason is naturally Huangfu Song's army, which is still fighting hard, Ju Yi knows that if he wins the head of Bocai, but the Han army is defeated because of an accident, this credit will undoubtedly be greatly reduced, not to mention, he may not be able to win it.
In fact, in Fuquan's heart, in addition to the above two considerations, the biggest reason is naturally that he doesn't want Ju Yi, a general under the command of Huangfu Song, to steal credit. After all, now there are a lot of Huangfu Song's Xiliang cavalry under his command, if there is a real chance to cut off the head of Bocai, how will the credit be distributed at that time?
For Huangfu Song, Fuquan naturally has some grudges, and naturally he doesn't want to give the biggest credit in the battle of Yingchuan. If it weren't for that, otherwise, with Fuquan's adventurous character in the past, he would naturally gather his fierce generals to hunt down this thief, as for the Han army under Huangfu Song, he didn't believe that this famous Han general would have an accident and lose to the remnants of the Yellow Turban Moth thief who had been defeated before.
Subsequently, Fu Quan personally led most of the cavalry and returned to the division to rescue Huangfu Song's department, leaving only Guan Yu's generals to disperse the Yellow Turban Moth thieves who fled to Changshe City.
The Yellow Turban Army is mostly composed of fellow villagers, fathers and sons, and in addition to those loyal Taiping believers, others kill one person during the war and provoke the anger of the public, but once the battle is lost, it will cause a cascading effect, often one person abandons his weapon, and the whole family or even the whole clan and the whole township surrender.
"Those who descend will not die!"
"Those who descend will not die!"
"Those who descend will not die!"
……
For a while, on the battlefield, such shouts were heard everywhere, and many Yellow Turban Moth thieves who heard the sound put down their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.
Among these people who surrendered on their knees, most of them were under the command of Bo Cai, those who were regarded as cannon fodder and armorless Yellow Turban soldiers, as for those elite Yellow Turban Army armored soldiers, among them, there were very few people who surrendered, most of them fled to Changshe regardless of the rout, and they were all loyal believers in Taiping Dao.
