The Yellow Turban Army was attacked by a wave of arrow rain, suffered heavy casualties, and the formation was in chaos, the main general tried to stabilize the position, but the second wave of the Jiangdong Army's offensive also followed, this time they did the same as the first time, but the Yellow Turban Army lacked cavalry, there was no good way to counter, the main general tried to let the soldiers pursue, but the other side was cavalry, his own side was infantry, and he pursued the cavalry with infantry, so naturally he could not catch up.

And Xu Zeng saw that after the Yellow Turban Army pursued out, he reflexively rushed into the enemy formation with the cavalry troops, although the Yellow Turban Army was numerous, but at this time they attacked, their formation was completely disrupted, and they were just now frightened by the two rounds of bows and arrows of the Jiangdong Army, at this time they were all brave and brave to come out to pursue, as soon as they encountered the counterattack of the cavalry, one by one immediately hugged their heads and ran away, there was no intention to resist at all, some soldiers who were originally preparing to fight at this time saw that others ran away, He had no choice but to throw away his weapons and escape, and Xu Zeng's troops easily rushed the Yellow Turban Army, killing and capturing a large number of Yellow Turban Army.

Liu Zhi was watching the battle from a distance, and seeing that the tactics used by Xu Zeng were a bit familiar, he thought about it carefully, and found that this was not the tactic that the Mongols used to fight all over the world more than a thousand years later?

This attack is known as the Mongol archery method, which is a unique tactic of the Mongolian cavalry, but more than two hundred years ago, when the supreme leader of the ancient Roman army, Crassus, led the army to attack the Sabbath Empire, and also encountered the Sabbath cavalry to use this tactic, when the 40,000 Roman army had no way to take the other side in front of the opponent's 20,000 light cavalry, the Roman cavalry pursued, the Sabbath retreated, and then released arrows to attack, the Roman cavalry was not much, and the pursuit was far away and was easily hit by the heavy cavalry of the Sabbaths, so they could only retreat, The Romans were well formed and well-armed, but they did not have powerful bows and arrows, and the bows and crossbows in the east far exceeded those of the Romans, so the well-equipped and numerous 40,000 Roman troops were wiped out under the blows of the 20,000 cavalry of the Sabbatarians, and even Crassus, the legendary figure who had quelled the Spartacus uprising, was defeated and captured, and most of the remaining Roman troops were killed, and a few troops are said to have fled from Central Asia to China, came to the Western Regions of the Western Han Dynasty at that time, and the protectorate was defined.

This tactic of the Sabbatarians is called the Sabbatarian archery, but more than a thousand years later, when the Mongols swept the world, this tactic was also called the Mongol archery.

Liu Zhi didn't expect Xu Zeng to use this tactic, he thought it would be a vicious battle, but he didn't expect it to be so simple to win.

The Yellow Turban Army was broken up in formation, and the remaining soldiers all spread their legs and ran up the mountain, while the Jiangdong Army was all cavalry, and it was very inconvenient to attack the mountain, and the Yellow Turban Army on the mountain also prepared a large number of rolling wood and stones, so the soldiers rushed several times in a row, but they failed to attack, and finally had to give up.

"Sir, these guys are hiding in the mountains, they don't dare to come down, we have few people, we can't rush them, and they are easy to be counterattacked from top to bottom, what should we do next?"

Obviously, in the face of such a situation, Xu Zeng was reluctant, but he did not say it explicitly, but explained to Liu Zhi the difficulties of the current offensive and handed over the decision to Liu Zhi.

Liu Zhi didn't have a good way for a while, so he first asked the army to withdraw, set up camp at the foot of the mountain, hold this place first, and then report the case to the nearby government, and then they sent the army out to encircle and suppress, this is Yingchuan County, and the officials and troops in Yingchuan will definitely not ignore these Yellow Turban Army.

The leader of this Yellow Turban Army is called He Qing, a branch of the Yellow Turban Army in Runan, but they were rounded up by the official army when they expanded to the north, so they were separated from the army, and the official army set up several blockade lines in the south, so that they could not retreat to the south, but the Yellow Turban Army has always relied on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft, He Qing did not panic, and set up a team near here, in order to avoid the search of the official army, he chose a place far away from the county seat.

And this is between Yangcheng and Yingchuan, located on the east side of Yangguan, above Yingshui, although it is very close to Yingchuan, but the current Yingchuan does not have too many officers and troops, plus the main force of the officers and troops have gone south to Wuyang and Kunyang to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban Army, so they are a relatively safe place here.

He Qing has been very careful recently, because he heard that the army of the princes of the Eighteenth Route is crusading against Dong Zhuo in Luoyang, which is not far away, and he is worried that the battle between the coalition army and the Xiliang army will spread here, after all, the strength of both sides is not weak, if the place of battle expands to the surrounding area, then he will no longer be safe here.

Since the Yellow Turban Army was defeated by Huangpu Song and Zhu Jun a few years ago, their momentum has not been as good as before, and now the voice of the Yellow Turban Army is not very good, and the people everywhere are avoiding them like a plague, so their development has also been greatly restricted, which is also the main reason why He Qing allowed his subordinates to go forward to loot and even condone the soldiers to burn.

It's just that He Qing didn't expect that they had just looted a village, and they were targeted by the official army, and they were also beaten by the official army.

"Big brother, although this group of people is not large, it is difficult to deal with, the brothers are not opponents, more than half of the more than 300 brothers who went out to fight were killed and wounded, and less than 100 people escaped back, let's stick to the village and don't go out!"

After a small leader named Wang Xian saw the sharp bow and crossbow of the Jiangdong Army, he was a little frightened, and he didn't dare to go out to fight anymore.

"Humph! Hold? What do we hold onto, the grain and grass on the mountain is less than ten stones, not enough for the brothers to eat for five days, and when the food is eaten up, what do we use to confront the other party, in my opinion, we should still take advantage of the other party's reinforcements have not arrived, rush down the mountain, click all the people, and then pack up the things to cross the Yingshui, return to our Runan, and go to Liu Dadutou is the right way. ”

Obviously, some people were very dissatisfied with Wang Xian's statement, and a strong man with a big face and a beard stood up and said to He Qing.

He Qing glanced at him, thought for a while, and said to him: "Li Chun, if I give you three hundred people, how sure are you that you can wipe out the other party?" ”

As soon as He Qing's words came out, everyone knew that he still wanted to fight hard, and it seemed that he accepted Li Chun's suggestion and prepared to break through to the south and return to Runan, everyone's hearts suddenly became excited, Runan is their base, although it is not as free as here, but at least there is no need to be afraid like this. At least safety is guaranteed, so many people want to go back as well.

Before Li Chun could speak, a little minion ran into the hall and shouted, "Big boss, the enemy army has begun to attack!" ”

He Qing was taken aback, the other party had attacked several times before, but it didn't go well, and he also set up a large camp, which seemed to him to mean to stop, but at this time, he started to attack again, and it was very likely that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived.

Hurriedly asked, "How many people came?" ”

The minion replied, "Only one person!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall, and one person wanted to attack them?
