vs 26 The White Horse Makes a Sudden Leap [II]
- To fight, or not to fight?
For Gongsun Chan, this is a problem.
This problem is not because Gongsun Chan is afraid of losing or dying.
Gongsun Chan has never been a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
At that time, his father-in-law, who was too guarded in the official residence, was sentenced by the imperial court and exiled to the southern miasma because he was implicated in an unjust case.
At that time, Gongsun Zhan had not yet married this Taishou surnamed Liu. The relationship between the two sides is only that of the "master" and the "expulsor". However, Gongsun Zhan resolutely bid farewell to the clan and ancestral tomb, and as an entourage, he voluntarily accompanied Liu Taishou to the barbaric and dangerous place that was said to be a life of nine deaths.
How can a person who can do such an act be greedy for life and afraid of death?
Therefore, Gongsun Chan is not thinking about his own safety. He just didn't want to fight to the death for framing the accomplice of the division commander Lu Zhi.
The enemy rode quickly. The distance of two miles will soon disappear.
Gongsun Chan was covered with Jun's face under the visor, and his eyebrows were raised, and he had already made a decision.
- Dare to provoke the long history of the white horse?
- Then please go and die!
The enemy cavalry was one hundred and twenty paces away.
Gongsun Zhan's clear voice sounded again.
"Left and right! Two points! Turn! β
More than 200 white horses obeyed and suddenly agreed in unison. The momentum that erupted really scared Zhang Yan.
The white torrent, as if it had encountered some obstacle, suddenly automatically split into two lines from the middle. These two parts of the white horses, with extremely exquisite skills, turned sharply through a 180-degree bend, and actually outflanked the pursuing Yellow Turban Army cavalry from the left and right sides at the same time!
"His,, Balls!"
Seeing such a drastic U-turn of the horse team, even Dong Zhuo, who had been riding on horseback for most of his life, couldn't help but scold. In the narrow space of the two armies' relative formations, making a 180-degree turn of this degree has extremely high requirements for the riding skills and war horses of every cavalry in the "White Horse Righteous Servant".
If one or two cavalrymen did this, it would not be a big difficulty. However, allowing more than 200 cavalry to neatly complete such a tactical detour is something that even the most elite "Flying Bear Army" under Dong Zhuo can't do!
"Fortunately, this kid only has two hundred riding ......"
Dong Zhuo ordered the main force of the Han army to line up, and at the same time glanced at the battlefield where the two cavalry were chasing each other from time to time.
The two white lines that turned around in the opposite direction passed by Zhang Yan's cavalry who were chasing from behind in just a moment. The distance between the two sides is not even thirty steps!
This distance is exactly the distance where the lethality of the cavalry can be fully utilized!
I didn't see any orders issued, but seeing all the white horse righteous followers, they used their legs to control the speed and direction of the horses, freed their hands, stretched their bows and arrows, and shot wildly at the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army not far away!
Moreover, this kind of wild shooting is still a two-sided attack, which makes it difficult for the knights of the Yellow Turban Army who want to dodge to balance the left and right.
"Whoosh ......"
"Puff puff ......"
"Ahhh......h
The cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army, who were taken by surprise, fell from their horses one by one with the baptism of arrow rain. These cavalrymen who fell off their horses, even if they were not killed by the huge impact of falling to the ground, most of them died from the hooves of their own subsequent knights.
In just one mistake, Bai Ma Yi sent out at least a thousand arrows!
The damage caused by these thousand arrows resulted in the death of at least a hundred elite Yellow Turban cavalry!
"Ah...... Bastard! β
As the leader of the "Flying Cavalry Battalion", Zhang Yan has been rushing to the front, and naturally he was also affected by the rain of arrows. Fortunately, he was vigorous and blocked ninety percent of the arrows, and the remaining one or two random arrows were also blocked by the light scale armor, and they did not penetrate the flesh deeply, so there was no major problem.
However, watching the enemy easily shoot and kill more than 100 of his own people, but only under the scattered counterattacks of his own side, only a few people were killed and wounded, and the young and vigorous Zhang Yan couldn't swallow this breath no matter what!
In a moment of anger, Zhang Yan slammed the war horse, so that the war horse stopped in place, and the person stood up, and then turned around sharply and launched an all-out sprint towards the end of the "White Horse Yicong"!
The war horse that Zhang Yan rode was naturally a good horse in a thousand. And the knights of the "White Horse Righteous Servant", in order to keep the formation neat, naturally will not increase the speed to the maximum. So, Zhang Yan, who was furious, actually crashed into the tail of the horse team at an unexpected moment of "White Horse Yicong"!
"Die!"
Zhang Yan stabbed the spear in his hand, and before the enemy could realize it, it had already penetrated his chest.
As soon as the spear was received, the second enemy screamed and fell from his horse.
In this way, when "White Horse Yicong" found out that Zhang Yan was coming, Zhang Yan had already killed four people in a row by surprise and unpreparedness!
However, even if "White Horse Yicong" found out about Zhang Yan's attack, for a while, there was no good way to deal with it. You must know that this is a galloping horse, and if the "White Horse Yicong" wants to keep the team intact, it is impossible to get rid of Zhang Yan who is nailed to the tail of the team.
Zhang Yan seized the opportunity, aimed at the nearest white horse cavalryman, and stabbed out the fifth shot. The body of the gun poked out, faintly bringing out the sound of wind and thunder!
However, the person who can be selected by Gongsun Chan to be the "White Horse Righteous Servant" will not be an idle person? The cavalryman rolled over violently, hiding his body under the horse's belly.
Then, the white horse cavalry straightened his waist, turned over from the other side, and took a spear in one hand, and stabbed back!
The spear stabbed out, and the tip of the spear was still half a foot away from Zhang Yan, but it suddenly stopped. The white-horse cavalryman stared at the dead fish-like eyes, and his body involuntarily fell from his horse.
Zhang Yan shook his hand and withdrew the spear from the enemy's heart. He was called "Feiyan" by the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, precisely because of his dexterity and fierceness. If you talk about the speed of marksmanship, among the 150,000 Jizhou Yellow Turban Army, there is no one who is unsurpassed!
"Good boy!"
A well-armored Han general praised it, controlled the mount with only his legs, and as soon as he swung his horse, he suddenly drove alongside Zhang Yan. Under the face armor of the Han general, a pair of shining eyes firmly stared at Zhang Yan.
"Try this!"
Zhang Yan stabbed out with a shot, swinging away the spearhead of the opponent's stab. The pale red "Zhan Qi" and the opponent's pure white "Zhan Qi" are mixed together, stirring up bursts of brilliance!
It was just a short confrontation, and Zhang Yan immediately felt a huge pressure.
The enemy's pure white "Zhan Qi" has the attribute "Gold". However, Zhang Yan's attribute is the "fire" of "gold". According to the principle of "five elements restrain each other", Zhang Yan should have an advantage.
However, the result of the confrontation was that Zhang Yan was suppressed.
There is only one explanation for this result.
That is:
ββThe enemy general's "Zhan Qi" cultivation is much deeper than that of Zhang Yanlai!
The blow did not make a contribution, the enemy general did not stop, and with a backhand turn, the spear swept over Zhang Yan's head, turned around, and actually stabbed Zhang Yan again with the tail of the spear!
No, not the tail of the spear, it's the head of the spear!
It turned out that the spear of the enemy general was actually a strange double-headed spear!
In a moment of carelessness, Zhang Yan, who did not expect the enemy general's strange blades, hurriedly used a gun, but failed to completely cover it. The sharp spear tip with a pure white "Zhan Qi" pierced Zhang Yan's ribs extremely quickly, tearing through the protection of the light iron armor, and slamming it on one of his ribs!
"Ahh
Zhang Yan screamed, returned to the horse and left. The enemy's double-headed spear can not only stab, but also has blades at both ends, which is extremely sharp. The spear just now not only broke Zhang Yan's ribs, but also slashed off a large piece of skin and flesh from his waist!
"Jumping clown!"
Seeing Zhang Yan defeated, Gongsun Zhan under the armor spit out such a sentence from his mouth. He put away the double-edged spear, took out a strong bow with a strength of three stones and five buckets, and turned to Zhang Yan who was far away, and shot an arrow casually. I saw that the arrow, as if it had eyes, crossed a long arc in the sky, and accurately nailed it to Zhang Yan's shoulder!
- Unfortunately, it is sixty paces away......
After shooting this arrow, Gongsun Chan turned around and did not look at Zhang Yan again. The result of this arrow, Gongsun Chan already knew it in his heart. Since you can't turn around and chase and kill, let's bypass this guy's life for the time being......
Moreover, in the confrontation just now, because of the adventurous pursuit of the Yellow Turban general, the "White Horse Yicong" had already lost the lives of seven or eight White Horse Knights. Although this kind of loss is really nothing from a military point of view, it also makes Gongsun Zhan, who regards "White Horse Yicong" as his life, a little unbearable.
If it was for the sake of the teacher Lu Zhi and died in battle, it would be fine. However, for the sake of Dong Zhuo, the current commander of the Han army......
- Why?!
With such an idea, Gongsun Chan greeted, and the two hundred "White Horse Righteous Servants" merged into one and returned to their own camp.
I have to say that the timing of Gongsun Zhan's return with his troops was indeed just right. At this time, the Han army had completed the basic battle formation arrangement. From a purely tactical point of view, the "White Horse Yicong" has successfully completed the task of covering its own formation.
However, judging from Dong Zhuo's gloomy face, all the generals of the Han army understood that the "White Horse Yicong" who attacked just now did not exert all his strength at all. Otherwise, the formation of the Yellow Turban Army will be at least twice as chaotic as it is now!
ps: There is no record in history of Gongsun Zan attacking the Yellow Turban Army in 184 south, which is apocryphal here, don't blame those who know it.
