Section 79 Anticipate the enemy for the time being
On the battlefield, victory or defeat never depends solely on the difference between the two sides in terms of "battle qi". Even the sword and gun in the hands of an ordinary soldier can effectively kill and injure a strong general at the level of "ten thousand enemies".
Of course, the premise is that this ordinary soldier can cut the other party.
Therefore, even though Le Jin's "Zhan Qi" cultivation is not as good as Zang Ba, it does not mean that his strength is inferior to him in cavalry battles.
Although Dian Wei is extremely powerful, he is a foot general after all. Although it is said that his riding skills are also quite good, it is a pity that the Tianping Army has not found a good horse so far that can carry the weight of Dian Wei and his weapons and armor.
However, this Zang Ba is different.
This guy can not only run like flying in the mountains, but his riding skills are actually good, although he is not superb, but he can definitely be evaluated as proficient in riding. In this way, as a cavalry leader of 100 people, Le Jin felt a lot of pressure.
Therefore, in this battle, Lejin must play a twelve-point ability, at least to overwhelm Zang Ba!
It's not an easy thing to do. But Lejin still did it.
When the cavalry of the Han army released the notice of "whoosh" death to the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, they were inevitably counterattacked by the other party. From a distance of fifty to ten paces, Le Jin only had time to fire his bow three times in a row and shoot two Han pawns.
Then, Lejin discarded his bow and drew his spear.
The spear was four feet six inches long, weighed two catties and twelve taels [one catty was sixteen taels in the ancient system], and one end was sharpened and covered with a thin iron tip.
Such a short spear, of course, was not used for immediate assassination. The correct way to use it is to throw.
When he set out on the expedition, Le Jin carried four such short spears on his back. But when the enemy went from fifteen steps away from Lejin to meet Lejin's short soldiers, there were only two short spears left on his back.
The other two short spears, unsurprisingly, were stuck in the stomachs and necks of the two unlucky Han soldiers, respectively.
Facing the enemy cavalry that was close at hand, Le Jin sneered and finally drew his sword.
His knife is naturally not as good as the "Guizi Steel" treasure knife in Zang Ba's hand, but it is not a big road. After fifty years of practice, even Cheng Lian, the main general of the Han army on the opposite side, will be envious.
Unlike Zang Ba's hard opening and closing, Le Jin's body on the horse is constantly twisting, giving the opponent a feeling of fluctuation.
Therefore, when the Han cavalry attacked with a knife, a gun, and a spear, they were usually only able to pounce on one air. And when the enemy used the wrong force, Le Jin returned it with a knife \ a kick, and he didn't even return his foot, so he easily defeated the enemy.
Don't even return your feet?
That's right.
When the stirrups are not equipped, if the riding skills are not high enough to a certain extent, after the sudden force is missed, most of the time the balance on the horse cannot be maintained.
If you can't maintain your balance, you'll fall off the horse.
In the face of the trampling of thousands of horses' hooves, even if the fallen horse is unharmed, there is a ninety percent chance that it will not be spared. Not to mention, when you fall off a horse, the force of the impact is powerful enough to throw a person into a severe concussion, plus incontinence.
In the end, when Le Jin came out of the Han cavalry formation, he slashed four Han soldiers and shot down three Han soldiers. Of the three Han cavalrymen who fell off their horses, only one was lucky enough to escape for his life, but he also paid the price of a broken arm.
Therefore, Lejin's final record is twelve.
In the billowing smoke and dust, when the cavalry on both sides rushed out from both ends one after another, the density of the team obviously became a lot more sparse.
The two cavalrymen galloped a hundred paces away before they began to slow down, turning their horses' heads and observing the battle respectively.
Among the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army, there were many fierce generals, and the hostile Han knights were terrified. However, the victorious side of this cavalry collision clearly belonged to the knights of the Han army.
Even if the Yellow Turban Army has "10,000 enemies" like Zang Ba to help in the war, it can't change this fact!
In the fierce hedging just now, the Han army lost a total of more than 50 cavalry. Among them, the three Yellow Turban generals Le Jin, Zang Ba, and Yu Poison alone beheaded nearly 30 Han cavalry.
However, the losses belonging to the Yellow Turban Army were as high as more than 180 people. Among them, more than 90 people died in the Han army's crossbow shooting. There were no less than twenty people who fell off the fierce galloping fast horses without meeting the Han army.
Such a battle loss rate was enough to make the Yellow Turban cavalry lose the courage to fight again. In fact, if it weren't for these cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army, which were all elite soldiers in the Yellow Turban Army, they would have dispersed in a hurry.
"What a powerful Han army!"
Zang Ba jumped on a war horse that had lost its owner, did not dare to stay where he was, and hurriedly ran towards his own camp. This battle made him understand one thing:
- On horseback, it doesn't seem to be his best battlefield.
And Lejin is also heartbroken to count the battle damage under his hands. Although the survival rate of the cavalry of the Tianping Army was better than that of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, it also lost no less than 30 people.
Xiao Shuai Yu Poison felt that his heart was like a knife. With such a big loss, how could he have the face to see Guan Hai?
Especially the hundreds of ownerless war horses wandering near the battlefield of confrontation, which made Yu Poison even more heartbroken. The Yellow Turbans had no shortage of riders, only war horses.
- These ownerless war horses will only belong to the victors of the battlefield. But judging from the battle losses of both sides, the side of the Yellow Turban Army does not look like a side that can win.
On the other hand, Cheng Lian slowed down the speed of his horses and beckoned the cavalry teams that had separated from the two sides to join the main force.
Although the terrifying brave general in the enemy army posed a great threat to him. However, after checking his own losses and achievements, Cheng Lian's heart had already thrown the little fear just now to the distant Western Regions Changshi Mansion!
- In this battle, you can behead at least one hundred and twenty levels!
ββSuch a result should be able to raise Cheng Lian's official position to one or two levels, right?
The Han horse team slowed down, turned a corner, and stopped beside a small stretch of forest. After confirming the situation of friend and foe, the Han cavalry jumped off their horses one after another and busily took care of their mounts.
The fierce galloping and fighting just now was a great burden on the physical strength of the war horse. Now that you have gained the advantage on the battlefield, there is no need to risk the additional loss of your horses and immediately pursue the enemy.
In the case of cavalry against cavalry, if one side only cares about fleeing for its life and does not have a distance of more than ten miles, it is unlikely to catch up with the other side. Anyway, the army of the Yellow Turban Army was four or five miles away. The Han army had no hope of annihilating the remaining two or three hundred Yellow Turban cavalry.
On the contrary, at this time, if you don't feed the war horse some horse feed, massage the horse's legs, and take good care of it, there will be a lot of war horses, because the intensity of the battle is too great, and the muscles and bones will be damaged, and they will no longer be able to go to the battlefield.
Therefore, in the interval between this battlefield, including the two leaders of Cheng Lian and Song Xian, the Han army all concentrated on taking care of their war horses. Except for an occasional glance, the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army, which was three or four hundred paces away, and the busy knights of the Han Army, did not pay attention to other places.
Half an hour!
Such a simple care only takes less than half an hour!
If the Yellow Turban cavalry wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to rush up, they would find that they had not yet completed a hundred paces, and the Han knights would be able to interrupt the care of their horses and return to a fighting state. At this time, the faces of the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army will definitely be quite exciting!
The cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army, as Cheng Lian had guessed, began to advance.
However, it was clear that the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army were still three or four hundred steps away, but an extremely familiar scream sounded in Cheng Lian's ears!
Accompanied by the screams of the Han army, there was also a voice. This kind of voice is also very familiar to Cheng Lian. It was the dull cutting sound of a blade cutting into human flesh and bones!
He turned his head in horror and immediately burst into disgust!
Yellow Turban Army!
Where did the Yellow Turban Army come from?!
