vs 25 The defeated dog is tired and thin
Therefore, Hou Cheng is running wildly. Running with rolling and crawling. Run to your side. No matter how embarrassing the action is, being able to escape with your life is a victory!
Hou Cheng's escape immediately completely dispelled the offensive courage of the "trapped soldiers".
If Hou Cheng was killed by the enemy after a heroic battle, the "trappers" might launch a more powerful revenge attack because of the death of the leader.
However, after Hou Cheng was injured, he fled back to his camp in embarrassment. The appearance of such a scene, although it cannot be blamed by the "traps", it also makes the "traps" have no chance to continue the attack.
The Han army waited behind the battle to see it clearly, and in desperation, sounded the signal to withdraw the troops in time.
The "trapper" retreated.
The "trappers" were not in chaos when they retreated.
When the "trapped soldiers" retreated, they did not forget to bring their own robes and corpses back to their own formation.
Seeing this scene, Shen Fu and Yu Ban both changed their faces. Shen Fu was shocked, and Yu Ban was excited.
- What a strong soldier!
Looking at the "trapped soldiers" who had suffered more than half of the casualties in front of them, the Han army waited for a round face. These elites were carefully selected from the thousands of people under his command, the elder brother of the military Hou, Bao Xin, the county governor. Now, under the command of the military Hou, the losses are so great that not much has been achieved. The military Hou was a little uneasy about the reprimand of his brother that he was about to face.
He turned his gaze to the group of people watching the battle, and his heart was extremely annoyed.
ββHow did these rammers make the moth thieves see that something was wrong?
Shen Fu also saw these people watching the battle. From the fact that these guys faced the battle between the two armies, they actually had the courage not to flee, but gathered together and took out the hidden swords, it can be seen that there is obvious ill intention.
- These guys, sure enough, have a problem. The lord wants a certain family to be careful of them, it's really a clever plan!
And the leaders of these powerful private soldiers who pretend to be people's husbands are also slandered in their hearts.
-- These county soldiers are really unreliable. first lost the county, and now he can't take such a little "moth thief". The patriarch uncle was too, and he actually listened to the words of the county governor, and sent Lao Tzu to pretend to be a people's husband, asking Lao Tzu to seize the opportunity and make trouble from behind.
-- It's a good thing that someone else has seen through it. The benefits were not reaped, and they were in a mess in vain. The captain of the Han army, as soon as he touched his mouth up and down, he asked Lao Tzu to come here to top the tank. Bah! What the hell!
- Don't do it, go back to Dock Fort!
Just as this decision was made, someone suddenly pulled the sleeve of the leader of the private army and carefully removed him from his calculations. The leader of the private army said impatiently:
"Something! Look at your panic? Haven't the moth thieves moved yet? β
"No, Zong Shuai! Look at the back! β
As soon as the leader of the private soldiers turned around, his eyes opened wide, as if he had seen something terrible. In fact, in front of his eyes, there were no cosmic monsters like "Godzilla", only a group of people, a group of people wrapped in yellow turbans.
"Moth thief!! Evacuate! β¦β¦β
The leader of the private army raised his throat and shouted loudly. Due to fear, his voice became extremely strange, from the original baritone to a soprano, with the demeanor of Li Yugang.
This shout immediately caused three consequences.
The ranks of the private soldiers began to disorganize, and people began to flee for the road, and there was not a single person who wanted to resist. This is one of them.
Everyone ranked, and the Tianping Army, which quietly pounced, no longer suppressed the movement, and began to chase and kill. This is the second one.
Shen Fubu's Tianping Army began to change formations, and cautiously stepped forward, preparing to attack. This is the third one.
Then, things continued to evolve, and the chaotic private soldiers, in order to find a sense of security, rushed to the place where the Han army was, and they couldn't stop drinking at all. The annoyed Han army waited for the army, originally wanted to shoot arrows to kill, but he was afraid of the reaction of these private soldiers, and after a little hesitation, the entire Han army's formation had been broken through by these frightened deserters!
"Defeated! Defeated! β
The Han army was angry in his heart, knowing that he had made a mistake again, but he simply rolled up the banner and shouted to his guards:
"Retreat! Fall back! β
took the lead, and Dian Wei, who was at the forefront, was stunned. These guys, before they started fighting, just ran away?
"Stop! Stop some! β
Dian Wei, who failed to kill as he wished, shouted loudly in anger. Of course, all the enemies who hear him shouting, or see his appearance, all show their super-level running ability. I believe that even if Liu Xiang is here, he will humbly ask these defeated soldiers for advice on how to break out in an instant.
So, the enemy and the enemy, chased and fled, and ran out of three or four miles. Suddenly, the soldiers of the county who ran the fastest cheered in unison. The Han army stretched out its neck to take a look, and a big banner with the word "Bao" flying in the wind appeared in the distance!
- Thank goodness you're here, brother......
The soldiers of the Han Army, who were supposed to appear on the battlefield two quarters of an hour ago, arrived belatedly and saved the defeated soldiers who were fleeing.
ββIt's better to come than not to come.
The Han army was supposed to complain, but at this time, he was actually talking like this in his heart.
Bao Xin, the county commander, looked at the battle situation in front of him and sighed lightly, knowing that his overall plan had completely failed.
Originally, with Bao Xin's ability to command and control troops, even if he commanded 1,500 people, most of whom were new soldiers, they would not have reached the predetermined battlefield by this time. However, on the way, Bao Xinjun actually encountered the harassment of a Yellow Turban Army cavalry!
That's right, it's the Yellow Turban cavalry!
In these years, without the help of stirrups and Takahashi saddles, it would take many years to train a qualified cavalryman. In addition, there is such a thing as a war horse, not to mention the high price, and it has always been watched vigilantly by the Han family. It doesn't matter if you have one or two horses in the house, but if the number reaches a certain value, it will be judged that you want to rebel.
Due to the above limitations, the number of cavalry in the Yellow Turban Army was even rarer than that of crossbowmen. Just like the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army led by "Bo Cai Shuai", with an army of 100,000, it can put out a thousand crossbow machines, but the number of cavalry has never exceeded 500.
However, on the way to the army, Bao Xin actually encountered a fifty-member Yellow Turban elite cavalry team!
These Yellow Turban cavalry not only had horses, but each cavalry was equipped with a small hand crossbow. They used the standard guerrilla tactics of the Han cavalry, and they were always around the Han army at a distance of about 100 paces.
Although Bao Xin's army was also equipped with more than 100 strong crossbows. However, while the team was moving, the crossbow was difficult to aim. Although Bao Xin had corresponding tactics, most of the state and county soldiers under his command were recruited temporarily, and their training was insufficient, so they could not use those tactics.
And those Yellow Turban cavalry are extremely slippery, never approaching the position of the strong crossbow, and specifically looking for places where the crossbow machine cannot protect and the defense is insufficient. As soon as the Han army slackened slightly, these cavalry would rush up, fire their crossbow arrows at the dense crowd, and then turn and flee.
In the face of this, the effective tactics summed up by the Han army for hundreds of years, Bao Xin, who was seriously lacking cavalry in his hands, could only be helpless.
- Where did these cavalry and moth thieves come from?
Of course, Bao Xin couldn't imagine that the opponent in front of him was originally quite a few people, who were his friends and subordinates of Cao Cao, the commander of the cavalry.
In the Changshe ambush, Zhang Qiang successfully ambushed a pursuing Han cavalry team. The captured Northern Army sergeants, more than 20 people, joined the Tianping Army under the insolent demagogy.
With these people as the backbone, combined with a full set of war horses and crossbow equipment captured in the ambush, the small cavalry team in front of Bao Xin was formed.
Of course, in Bao Xin's army, there are still more than a dozen war horses. However, these precious war horses are ridden by mid-level and high-ranking people in the army. Do you want Bao Xin to personally take these officers to fight with those Yellow Turban soldiers?
However, even under such an unfavorable situation, Bao Xin still took these recruits and worked hard to move forward. Being able to do this step under the interference of the enemy cavalry, Bao Xin's ability can be seen.
When the Han army converged with the defeated army, under the command of Bao Xin, it was still in order. Looking at the opponent's strict formation, the arrogant and arrogant who went out with injuries secretly said that it was a pity that he did not entangle with the enemy, and turned around and left.
Bao Xin did not rely on the large number of his own men and turned back to pursue, but only rectified the defeated troops in place and restored their combat strength. Seeing the Tianping Army disappear in front of him, Bao Xin suddenly smiled slightly.
-- This opponent is somewhat interesting.
"Insolent, huh? Faith, remember you. β
He muttered to himself, turned his horse's head, gave the order, and the whole army returned.
PS: Character - Bao Xin.
Bao Xin was one of Cao Cao's staunch supporters. The death of this person is also inseparable from Cao Cao. When He Jin was killed and Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Bao Xin, as a cavalry lieutenant of the Central Han Army, was recruiting troops in his hometown of Taishan.
The author set up that at the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Bao Xin had not been transferred to the Central Army, but was subordinate to the county soldiers in Yanzhou. In this way, although he was also given the official position of a captain, it was obvious that the lieutenant of the local army was far inferior to the lieutenant of the cavalry of the central army. The gap here will take Bao Xin five years to complete the promotion.
