Chapter 169: This Cavalry Is Really Strong!
The situation is slightly better for the Mask Armor Army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBecause of his experience, he knows how to protect himself. There were about 100 people seriously injured in the Mask Armor Army, and less than 50 people were killed in direct battle, which was a blessing in misfortune. Zhao Yun's Zhongshan Army was put into the front relatively late, and the casualties were the lightest, with a total of about 100 light and serious wounds.
As He Xian's personal guard, the special operations team was the latest to fight, but the casualties were not large. And because they all have certain medical knowledge, especially battlefield first aid knowledge, so at such a moment, they incarnate as war doctors and carry out rescue work.
All the wounded were gathered in the central open space, and the special operators turned out alcohol, cotton cloth, hemostatic powder, etc. from their baggage. He Jiazhuang perfected the process of refining alcohol a year ago, but He Xian has kept the technology a secret. It's not that I'm afraid that other people will steal from school, but it's mainly because the purification of alcohol is too wasteful of food. In today's Han Dynasty, natural and man-made disasters are continuous, and food is extremely scarce. He Xian was afraid that after this skill spread, the dignitaries would not be able to resist the charm of alcohol, and would make wine and squander it, consuming the already insufficient food of the Han Dynasty.
According to the last statistics, the strength of the Chinese army directly under He Xian was originally only more than 2,000 people, and now only 1,000 people can continue to fight. The attrition ratio of fifty percent can be described as the most painful battle since He Xian's debut! Guo Jia is worthy of being called a "ghost talent", and the game he designed is ruthless to the enemy, and even more ruthless to his own people!
An hour later, the initial cleaning of the battlefield was completed. The Nanyang Army, which was directly under He Xian, gathered a large number of wooden plaques, on which were engraved the names of the sacrificed sergeants. This was specially added by He Xian after the reform of the Nanyang military system, and every sergeant had it, including He Xian. When a warrior goes on an expedition, it is inevitable that the horse leather shroud. Nanyang is thousands of miles away, and the body can't be transported back, so bring back an identity tag so that the family can have a thought.
The follow-up disposal of the corpses of the wounded and other issues need to be transferred from Fuyang County before they can be started. The wounded were disinfected with alcohol, stopped bleeding, bandaged, and then placed in carriages. He Xian ordered Zou Jing to leave a team of 100 people to guard the battlefield, so he led more than 3,000 people after the merger of the Zhonghou Army, plus hundreds of seriously wounded and wounded, and continued to march towards Fuyang City.
The three thousand Youzhou elite cavalry under the command of Gongsun Zan chased and killed for ten miles, and then returned one after another. Although the ambush army of the Black Mountain Thieves was defeated, there were still their big camps outside Fuyang City, and the dangerous Juyong Pass was still in the hands of the Black Mountain Thieves, under the urging of Guo Jia, He Xian had to exert his limited combat power to the extreme.
Time difference! In the case that the strength is not superior, He Xian must seize the advantage of the time difference and maximize the results of this battle!
Gongsun Zhan's 3,000 elite horsemen, after a short rest, were sent to Juyong Pass by He Xian, and they were really used as donkeys. The order given by He Xian was to take Juyong Pass before the Black Mountain thieves broke out and retreated, completely solved the worries of the Black Mountain thieves, and created a stable rear environment for the next decisive battle against the Wuhuan rebels. Gongsun Zhan is also a person who is proficient in the art of war, so he doesn't talk nonsense, takes over the task, and turns to Juyong Pass in the northwest direction of Wang.
It is said that after Qi Zhou and He Xian's front army accelerated away from the battlefield, they opened a distance of nearly twenty miles, and then lowered the speed of the march again. Because Qi Zhou didn't want to rush to Fuyang City to move the rescue troops at all. Liu Yu's instruction to him was to borrow a knife to kill people. It's just that Liu Yu didn't expect it, and Qi Zhou didn't expect that the black mountain thief who was supposed to be a "knife" became the "person" who was killed. And the "person" who should have been killed, but he was anti-guest and successfully completed his set strategic goals!
Suddenly, the sand and dust were billowing in the direction of Fuyang City, as if a thousand horses were rushing towards him. Qi Zhou hurriedly ordered his subordinate sergeants to form a formation. Recently, the territory of Youzhou has not been very peaceful, and I don't know which way of people and horses are coming.
The cavalry came closer, and Qi Zhou saw clearly that the military uniform worn by the other party was the same as He Xian's Chinese army, and it seemed to be the cavalry of Nanyang County! As the leader, a military general, holding a crescent halberd, next to it is a big "Zhang" character military flag.
This is Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, and the cavalry generals under He Xian, who reinforced Fuyang City in the early stage, and they are skilled in martial arts. Qi Zhou had a relationship with him when he was in Jixian County. Seeing Zhang Liao, Qi Zhou had an abnormal headache and didn't speak, this must have gone to rescue He Xian. Qi Zhou was thinking about how to fool Zhang Liao and delay the pace of rescue. Unexpectedly, Zhang Liao had no intention of slowing down. The horn of the attack was sounded from afar, and the Youzhou soldiers on the official road were signaled: "The war is urgent, and the idle people should disperse quickly!" ”
Of course, Zhang Liao saw that the Youzhou army was marching on the official road, and if it was a Black Mountain thief, he would have greeted him with a rain of arrows, instead of a horn warning. According to the plan formulated by He Xian, Zhang Liao gathered at the end of the day, led the horse and quietly walked out of the east gate of Fuyang City, without alerting the Black Mountain thieves stationed outside the North City Gate. It wasn't until he had walked three miles that he got on his horse and began to march. But in the information Zhang Liao received, he didn't know that Qi Zhou would escape.
But Qi Zhou had a ghost in his heart, and he was shocked when he heard Zhang Liao blow the horn of attack! The heralds who hurriedly ordered their subordinates also sounded the horn of defense, the pikemen in front, and the archers retreated, ready to load their arrows.
Zhang Liao saw that the Youzhou soldiers in front of him not only did not evade, but they were ready to defend and intercept, thinking that this was pretending to be the Montenegrin army, and he was immediately furious!
"Arrows!" Zhang Liao did not hesitate to give the order to ride and shoot!
Thousands of Bingzhou cavalry bent their bows and arrows, and when the Youzhou soldiers were still forming a formation, the first wave of arrows had already been thrown over!
"Shoot the pikemen in the front row first!" Zhang Liao roared and commanded the guards around him, and he was not merciless, using the hard bow in his hand to kill one person with one arrow! Strive to open the way to charge in the shortest possible time. What the cavalry feared most was that they would be slowed down and reduced to infantry on horseback. The enemy troops in front of them were hastily arranged, and in terms of strength, 3,000 infantry could not stop Zhang Liao's more than 1,000 flying cavalry. However, if the pikemen in the front row could not be dealt with quickly, the Bingzhou flying cavalry under the high-speed impact would have to pay a lot of casualties. This is what Zhang Liao does not want to see. As for the archers behind the pikemen, Zhang Liao was not worried. As long as they carry one or two waves of arrows, once they break through the spear formation, the archers are just weak chickens to be slaughtered!
After Zhang Liao, who took the lead, shot several pikemen in front of him in a row, he replaced the hard bow, raised the crescent halberd in his hand, and shouted: "Bingzhou Flying Cavalry!" ”
"Invincible in the world!" The soldiers under Zhang Liao's command roared in unison, and their morale suddenly soared! The shouts were mixed with the sound of horses' hooves, creating the momentum of thousands of horses, and it shook the birds in the woods along the way! On the other side, Qi Zhou and the Youzhou County soldiers under his command all changed color! This cavalry is really strong!
