Chapter 150: The Bow Rider Shows His Might

Two hundred and fifty war horses were lined up in a row, forming an attack fan about one kilometer wide, and the dust was flying, and thousands of hooves were forging ahead, and the momentum was like a rainbow. The attention of the Yellow Turbans had been focused on the front, and suddenly from the right flank came the sound of horses' hooves and deafening shouts, and then they were surprised to realize that an enemy army was attacking from the flank, and the leader shouted: "Enemy attack!" Because the billowing dust and smoke covered the rear, the Yellow Turban Army could not tell the number of enemy troops attacking from the flank, and for a while, there was a commotion on the right flank of the Yellow Turban Army.

The yellow-turban generals on the right flank shouted: "No chaos! Don't mess around! All soldiers turn to the right and get ready to meet the enemy! ”

The general's idea was that the enemy on the flank had to turn his gun first, but he forgot that most of these soldiers were peasants working in the fields a few months ago, and there were drills there, and many people couldn't tell the difference between left and right, and you shouted over there to turn right, and as a result, there were those who turned to the right and those who turned to the left, and even many people didn't know where to turn, and it was not right to turn left, and it was not right to turn right, and it became a circle in place, which made it even more chaotic.

Before they could figure out what was right, a rain of arrows from the first row came mercilessly. The steel arrows pierced their leather armor and cloth with great ease, and after many screams, hundreds of corpses fell, and the already chaotic formation became more and more chaotic, trampling on each other, killing and wounding countless people.

The two hundred and fifty cavalry led by Guan Yu drew a straight line on the plain, just like the tide of Qiantang, advancing violently. After years of training, on the back of a high-speed galloping horse, the bow in each warrior's hand did not shake steadily, and under a command, two hundred and fifty arrows were shot out in unison, none of which shot high, and none of which shot low, and the strength of the arrows was the same, instantly forming a death fan in the camp of the Yellow Turban Army.

The arrows fired by these warriors were not necessarily accurate, but they pursued a high degree of consistency, and this kind of striking power can be called destructive, the camp of the Yellow Turban Army has no fortifications, no shield cover, and under the diffuse attack of the archers, each arrow can find a target, which is almost a mistake.

After two rows of arrows, Guan Yu shouted: "Change the bow!" The two hundred and fifty cavalry archers skillfully put away their longbows, replaced them with compound short bows, and drew their bows and arrows, and the next row of arrows rained out in unison.

The range of the compound short bow is not as far as that of the long bow, but the power is not small at all, due to the short body of the bow, the force of the pull is significantly reduced, the frequency of the arrow is higher, and in the same time, the compound short bow shoots one more arrow than the longbow.

Due to the extreme speed of the horses, the four rows of arrows were fired, and they were already approaching thirty paces in front of the Yellow Turban formation, and if the cavalry charged as normal, they should put away their compound bows, draw their sabers or raise their spears, and rush into the enemy formation in the next moment. However, Liu Ze's order was to turn back the horse's head and withdraw from the battle thirty paces away from the enemy, and this order was a death order, and no one could disobey it.

Guan Yu gave an order, and the two hundred and fifty high-speed galloping war horses let out bursts of neighing sounds, and instantly completed the sideways drift, and at the same time, the fifth arrow requested by Liu Ze also left the string, and then the two hundred and fifty horses roared away, leaving only the stunned faces of the Yellow Turban soldiers and the corpses all over the ground.

Without giving the Yellow Turban soldiers any respite, the second wave of attacks of the two hundred and fifty archers led by Guan Hai arrived, and the same five rounds of arrow rain made the Yellow Turban soldiers without any protection suffer enough, and everyone was praying that these arrows should not be shot at their bodies.

The commander of the right wing of the Yellow Turban Army was Zhang Jiao's disciple Guo Tai, and when Liu Ze's cavalry launched the charge, he was not at the forefront but close to Zhang Jiao's central army, and was preparing to cooperate with Zhang Jiao's Chinese army and Lu Zhi's officers and soldiers in a decisive battle.

He received the news that the right flank was attacked very quickly, and hurried over, but it was only a few hundred cavalry that caused great confusion on the right flank, and he couldn't help but be so angry that he couldn't help but smoke in the right flank, and the right flank under his command had 100,000 soldiers and horses, but he was beaten by hundreds of cavalrymen and had no power to fight back, and shouted and scolded: "A group of wrecks and hundreds of officers and soldiers will scare you into such a bear!" Coming, spears lined up, ready to fight back. ”

Now that the commander of the right flank has stepped forward, the scattered Yellow Turban soldiers seem to have a backbone, and the pikemen begin to line up. Guo Tai has studied under Zhang Jiao for many years, and he is by no means a scoundrel like Cheng Yuanzhi, he is quite familiar with the battle formation, and knows that the only effective way to deal with the impact of cavalry is to use spears to form a formation.

But Liu Ze's tactics made him suffer a lot today, these cavalry did not come to charge the formation at all, but only used skillful cavalry archery to shoot in turns, and retreated every time they reached thirty steps in front of the formation. The pikemen could only resist the cavalry charge, but there was nothing they could do about this bow and arrow blow, and the pikemen in front of the line fell down one by one.

Guo was so angry that he ordered his army to launch a counterattack against the retreating cavalry, but this seemed to be in vain, and the soldiers who rushed forward sadly found that when the archers retreated, it was really a piece of dust, and they could not smell anyone's sycophants no matter how much they chased them. The horses that rushed to the front became the live targets of the next wave of attacks of the archers, the sharp steel arrows harvested the lives lightly, and after the wolves threw down thousands of corpses, the Yellow Turbans gave up their plans to counterattack, and retreated in the camp and did not dare to fight.

Guo Tai was resentful, and he couldn't imagine that hundreds of cavalry officers and soldiers would suppress his 100,000 horses to death, only to be beaten with his head in his arms, and after the Yellow Turban Uprising, he had also experienced dozens of battles, but he really had never fought such a nest battle as today. The Yellow Turban soldiers under him are all temporarily recruited peasants, not only have no combat experience, but also are greedy for life and afraid of death in their bones, where there are soldiers who have been in battle for a long time and have the courage to look at death as home, they participate in the Yellow Turban Army, most of them are fishing in troubled waters, and they want to take the opportunity to make a windfall, seeing Liu Ze's archers as strong as a whirlwind, they have long been frightened, and some even crawl or squat on the ground to avoid the attack of the rain of arrows, no matter how Guo Tai scolds, no one dares to step forward.

The angry Guo Tai took a spear and killed several yellow turban soldiers squatting on the ground into a few transparent holes, and scolded sharply: "All sons obey orders, all attack, if you violate the order, you will be punished by military law!" ”

Mrs. Guo's trick of killing chickens and monkeys was also effective, and many Yellow Turban soldiers trembled and lined up in formation. Mrs. Guo's face was hideous, she raised her spear, and stared at Guan Yu who came over with resentment, aren't you just a few hundred arrows, can you shoot my 100,000 army at once?

Guan Yu had already seen Guo Tai in the Yellow Turban camp, and the thief captured the king first, if it weren't for Liu Ze's death order not to rush into the Yellow Turban formation, Guan Yu would have rushed into the enemy formation with a whip and beheaded the thief. And Guo Tai's position is just outside the range of the archers, all the archers turned thirty steps in front of the Yellow Turban Formation, and none of the arrows could reach Guo Tai's side, which is also where Guo Tai can be unscrupulous in the formation.

Guan Yu sneered and drew his longbow. Guan Yu's arm strength is large, and the longbow used is not a standard two-stone bow, but a special five-stone bow, this kind of bow can't be pulled by ordinary people, of course, the range is definitely much higher than that of ordinary bows and arrows. Moreover, the arrows used by Guan Yu are also specially made, about one-fifth longer than ordinary arrows, and the arrow clusters use three-edged feathers that are more stable in flight and have higher shooting accuracy. This kind of arrow was specially used to snipe archers, and it once showed its might in the battle of the Western Regions, hunting and killing many high-ranking officers of the Xiongnu.

It's too late, that's fast, just when the Yellow Turban Formation was drifting back thirty paces, Guan Yu reflexively bent his bow and arrow, "whoosh", an arrow was like a meteor, hitting Guo Tai's shoulder socket, Guo Tai screamed and knocked off the horse.
