Chapter 44: The First Battle

"Lieutenant Marshal, there is someone on the hillside on the left. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "The man who was called the lieutenant looked up. Seven or eight figures, as if on horseback, wandered around the hillside to the left of their group for a few laps before disappearing without a trace.

"Deputy Marshal, presumably this must be the person left by the little lady to observe our movements. Let's catch up. A thief next to him said with a smile on his face.

And this deputy marshal felt a surge of anger as soon as this person mentioned the little lady, grinned, and shouted: "The whole army drives up that hillside." ”

When the lieutenant reached the top of the hillside, he had found that the dark shadows were riding horses twenty miles ahead of them. The deputy marshal smiled and waved his hand. "Chong, catch that little lady, Lao Tzu will be rewarded."

When the sons and daughters of his subordinates heard that they were rewarded, they suddenly screamed as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. Scatter your legs and chase after the back in front of you. More than 5,000 people rolled down the hillside, and only the human head was left when it came into view.

The dozen or so people who were running in front of the 5,000 Yellow Turban Army looked back and saw a large group of black-pressed figures chasing behind them. After watching for a while, he immediately accelerated and climbed to the top of a slope, and then disappeared.

The deputy marshal saw that the dozen or so people disappeared after climbing the hill, and said secretly in his heart: "It's hard to keep up with those people again, but I can't lose them anymore." Immediately, the deputy marshal shouted: "Hurry up, I'll make you look good." ”

In front of the Yellow Turban Army, it was Zhang Fei who came to confirm the enemy's situation. After Zhang Fei and a few people climbed to the top of the slope. You can already see that your men and horses have set up their formation two hundred paces behind the slope. The leader was Cao De, who was dressed in bright silver armor. Behind Cao De were neatly arranged soldiers.

Zhang Fei slapped the horse's ass and went straight to the main formation. When Cao De approached, Zhang Fei stood on his horse and said loudly: "Lord, the Yellow Turban thieves have been lured by us to the bottom of the hill ahead. ”

Cao De nodded and shouted, "Okay, Zhang Fei listens to the order, you lead three hundred cavalry to wait on the left flank, and I can only give an order and rush to kill with all my might." ”

Zhang Fei nodded heavily, turned his horse's head and ran towards the left side of the military formation.

Cao De turned his horse. He said loudly: "Sergeants, this is our first battle, and in this battle, I want you to show our prestige and our murderous reputation." Archers come out of the ranks. ”

More than a thousand archers lined up in a neat queue and quickly ran out of the gap released by the shield array. Quickly stand up in the position you normally train in.

Let's talk about the deputy marshal of the Yellow Turban Army. When approaching the top of the hillside. The lieutenant's heart was full of desire. Under the domination of desire, he shouted again and urged everyone to speed up and catch up. And when the deputy marshal climbed to the top of the slope, he saw that a military formation that had been waiting for a long time was waiting neatly in front. Just when the deputy marshal was still stunned. A quarter of the team behind the lieutenant had already reached the top of the hill.

When the lieutenant marshal comes to his senses. He was already more than 180 steps away from the opponent's military formation. And now the deputy marshal also instantly realized that there was no turning back, so he could only rush forward. Then he yelled, "Erlang, rush." The Han army is just a wine bag and a rice bag. ”

Just when the Yellow Turbans climbed to the top of the slope to reveal their figures. Cao De's heart couldn't help but start beating violently. Cao De felt as if his heart was about to explode. Cao De immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and took himself to get used to the violent heartbeat a little. Shouted: "Archers, shoot on your back, prepare." After Cao De finished doing this, the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side was still more than one hundred and seventy steps away from the military formation.

When Cao De watched intently as the enemy's vanguard crossed one hundred and twenty paces, Cao De finally gave the order, "Release the arrows." "Five hundred arrows rose into the air in an instant, and when they reached their highest point, they fell rapidly. Then with great inertia it plunges into the enemy's chest.

As soon as the five hundred feathered arrows were lifted into the air, the archers who shot the feathered arrows crouched down, drew the feathered arrows from the quiver behind their backs, and waited with their bows. The five hundred people who had been waiting before quickly stood up after the previous group shot the arrows, drew their bows and released the arrows. Then they crouched down with each other, drew arrows and waited. Then the other five hundred archers, who had already been prepared, got up and fired their arrows.

When the archer released three rounds of back shots, Cao De immediately ordered the archers to shoot flat. Then there were two more rounds of flat shots. And now, the charge of the Yellow Turban Army has crossed seventy paces. Cao De immediately raised his fist. The archers changed from the front team to the back team from the gap in the shield array, and returned to the back of the shield array. Cao De also followed behind the archers and came to the rear of the shield array. Then Cao De immediately drove his horse to the commanding heights in the military formation. Here, Cao De was able to see everything that was happening on the entire battlefield.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Army was only twenty steps away from Cao Dejun. And on the more than 100 steps of the charge, the Yellow Turban Army left more than a thousand corpses. Some of the corpses had two arrows stuck in them, while others had four or five arrows stuck in them. But without exception, they all died in the way of the charge, and what they had in common was that they were docile peasants until a few days ago.

Just when the Yellow Turban Army was still ten steps away from Cao Dejun. Suddenly, Cao Dejun's original shield was immediately stacked into three layers, and in the gap between the shields, one by one, the spears leaked out.

At this time, the pace of the charge could not be stopped. Therefore, the Yellow Turban Army, which was charging in the first row, could only close its eyes and crash into the shield array like a hedgehog.

At the moment when the two armies collided. The sound of thumping is endless. Gradually, with the impact of the flesh again and again, the solid shield array was about to begin to crumble. And at this moment, the rumbling drum sounded. When Zhang Fei heard this, he shouted, "Soldiers, rush with me." ”

Zhang Fei led three hundred cavalry to fight from the left side of his army's formation, and crashed into the right flank of the Yellow Turban Army. It was like a sharp knife piercing a person's right ribs at once.

At this time, the rumbling drum beat changed. This is the signal for the whole army to charge.

Soon, the entire formation of Cao De's army immediately changed, and the original defense turned into an offensive.

Cao De rode a horse and stood on the commanding heights. Behind Cao De was Xiahou Yuan and a reserve of 1,500 soldiers. Cao De looked at the time when the enemy and the enemy were already completely anxious together. He immediately instructed Xiahou Yuan: "Miaocai, lead five hundred men and horses to go around to the rear of the enemy formation." Wait for the meeting to not allow an enemy to escape. After Xiahou Yuan received the order, he immediately ordered five hundred soldiers and rushed to the rear of the Yellow Turban Army.

In this instant, the entire form of the battlefield has changed dramatically. The originally menacing Yellow Turban Army has already fled. It was the one who had been running behind, and when he saw that his companions in front of him were being slaughtered unequally, he gradually felt frightened, so more and more people turned around and ran.

Gradually, the Yellow Turban Army has been divided into pieces and surrounded by Cao De's army. And Xiahou Yuan, who rushed to the rear of the Yellow Turban Army as fast as possible, only found out when he arrived. The fast runner has already run two or three miles. Xiahou Yuan immediately ordered those who ran to run, and those who didn't run couldn't run anymore.
