Chapter 50

When he saw Bai Ma Yicong showing his bow and arrows and spilling the first rain of arrows, Hu Zhen had already realized it.

Defeat is assured!

In fact, from the moment he realized Wang Yu's intentions, he already knew that the victory and defeat had been divided. However, Gongsun Zhan's seemingly chaotic move gave him some hope, and he felt that there was still a chance to fight.

As a result, all he saw was an illusion, and his hopes were dashed in an instant.

has been in the army in the west for many years, Hu Zhen is not a person who has never seen the world, and riding and shooting is not a rare thing. Whether it's the Han army or Hu Lu, you can play a few hands.

However, Bai Ma Yicong's riding and archery combat method is the only one he has seen in his life!

At such a bad moment, encountering such a terrible tactic, the outcome is beyond doubt.

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army are not brave, but they have lost their organization, there is no outflanking, there is no effective counter-impact, and there is no cover of long-range troops, they can only rush forward in a mess!

The flesh that comes from greed and hatred cannot last. When the most daring soldiers were killed and wounded, and the original target was far away, the rain of arrows on their heads kept falling, and those white horses......

Hu Zhen didn't know how the soldiers in the vanguard felt, but from his point of view, those white horses themselves were very demoralizing.

Because they are all white horses, it is difficult to distinguish which enemy is which, but I can only see a large white expanse in front of me, shaking back and forth, and my ears are full of the screams of my comrades, as if I am in a dream.

Even the strongest people can feel hopeless.

By the time the Xiliang army discovered that the enemy's infantry was also approaching, the rout was inevitable!

In all fairness, although the tactics of the White Horse Yicong were terrifying, they could not frighten Hu Zhen. If he fights in an array, he has his own way to fight the enemy, which is nothing more than fighting for attrition.

The formation of cavalry archery is loose and the rate of fire is fast, but the range of the infantry bow is longer and the power is also greater, and the bravery of the Liang army in the west, even if three or five archers change to a white horse servant, they can hold on.

On the other hand, Gongsun Chan may not be willing to spend so much.

If it is time and effort to train an archer, only one out of ten soldiers can be chosen; Then the white horse is righteous, and it must be at least one in a hundred!

Vertical and horizontal, well-founded advance and retreat, can you do it if you are not good at riding? It's not enough to be good at riding, and you have to be quite superb in archery, and it may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that all of them are archers, but the generals of the White Horse are all sharpshooters!

Such an army is very easy to use and extremely powerful, but the difficulty of training is also very high, will Gongsun Chan use them against him? No way!

Now, it's too late to say anything, and there is only one way left for Hu Zhen, escape!

"Withdraw, withdraw!" He beckoned to the hundreds of guards who could still command around him, and fled towards the gate.

There are still soldiers in the pass, although they are only some remnants of the defeated generals, but it is still possible to hold on for a few days, the main force of the coalition army has not yet arrived, at least we must buy some time and report a letter to the prime minister. Only in this way can you give yourself a head start.

I have to say that Hu Zhen's grasp of the fighter plane is still good, and his defeat and the collapse of the army happened almost at the same time.

The Xiliang Army completed the transformation of roles in an instant, from fearless warriors to cowardly cowards, who threw away their armor and fled for their lives.

And their opponent, Bai Ma Yicong, no longer retreated, and began to cover up and kill.

Pursuit and killing is what the light cavalry is best at, and as the leader of the light cavalry, the performance of the white horse is naturally extraordinary.

The original team of 100 people was divided into two, and one team put down their bows and arrows, picked up their melee weapons, the long lances hanging from the saddle, and then chased after the Xiliang rout in a hurry, killing and injuring the soldiers on the periphery in pieces.

If the previous cavalry attack on the enemy was like bleeding with barbs, now the pursuit of the white horse is to peel the skin, layer after layer, and the blood is dripping!

Another group of knights followed their comrades with bows and arrows, and from time to time they would shoot at the place where the rout was concentrated, both to kill and wound the enemy, but also to prevent the enemy from having a chance to regroup.

After a while, the two teams switched positions, exchanged weapons, and continued to repeat the previous action. Seeing Bai Ma Yicong's well-trained and well-organized appearance, Wang Yu's teeth were a little sour with envy.

As a military general, who can not see the joy of hunting when he sees such a strong soldier? Mounted and archery, coming and going like the wind, in addition to the frontal attack and attrition war, invincible, can maximize the power of the cavalry, and it is suitable for yourself.

It was a shame that he was deceived by the self-boasting information of the Tartars in later generations, and he thought that the cavalry archery was really carried forward by the Mengyuan Tartars. Actually ignored the fact that with the heyday martial arts of the Han Dynasty and the application of cavalry, how could there be no dim sum experience, but let a group of uncivilized barbarians take the lead?

It seems that his behavior of befriending Gongsun Chan is an unexpected good move. In addition to recruiting famous generals and buying war horses, you can also get some instructors to come over, and even borrow soldiers!

Gongsun Chan is very generous, he took the initiative to ask to lend troops to Yuan Shu before, and his friendship with him is so good, it shouldn't be difficult to borrow troops, right?

"First behead the fierce general Huaxiong, and then with the strength of one person, break the formation of ten thousand armies, Pengju virtuous brother, after today's battle, your name of bravery is bound to spread all over the world, and no one dares to question whether the battle of Mengjin is true! Hahahaha......"

When he was in a trance, someone suddenly laughed loudly on his side, Wang Yu turned his head to look, and saw Gongsun Zhan riding a horse with a spring breeze on his face.

"Where can I afford the praise of the eldest brother, I won this battle, and the big brother trained the soldiers. Knowing that the eldest brother had such a strong soldier in hand, Yu didn't have to take this risk, and Brother Lao responded. ”

"What did Brother Xian say?"

Seeing that Wang Yu was not proud of his achievements, Gongsun Zhan was even more happy, he raised his hand and pointed forward, and sighed: "These guards are all old brothers who have followed a certain number of years for many years, and they have experienced life and death together many times, like brothers and sisters. In this battle, your first merit is well deserved, and the foolish brother is just helping one or two from the side. ”

Wang Yu was supposed to be modest, but when he heard this, he was slightly stunned.

It turned out that the reason why Gongsun Chan launched the shooting was not purely to show his military appearance or to respond to himself, but to reduce casualties as much as possible.

The assault on the Chinese army is effective, but it is easy to be drawn up by the rout, causing unnecessary losses. It is much more comfortable to kill and wound the rebel army by cavalry shooting, which is similar to the exercise, and the result is no worse than that of the assault army.

The archers of the Xiliang army were trampled by the cavalry, which can only be said to be a detail, and even Hu Zhen himself may not have noticed it, but Gongsun Zhan observed it and made a decision based on it...... There is no vanity under the fame, and the celebrities of the Three Kingdoms do not have a simple one.

"Now the victory is imminent, big brother, let's take advantage of the situation to take the tiger prison pass."

"Clearance? However, ...... "Gongsun Zhan hesitated slightly, the opportunity to take the pass is not impossible, if it goes well, when Hu Zhen enters the city, the rout soldiers will rush in, as long as Niu Fu, who is defending the city, hesitates a little, the city gate will not be closed."

With the momentum of a big victory, the White Horse Yicong can grab the city gate with just one assault, and in the case of the rout of the main force, it is impossible for Niu Fu to engage in any street fighting. If he had that courage, Meng Jin would not have been defeated so badly.

However, the current situation is a little weird, Hu Zhen has already arrived under the city gate, but the city gate just won't open. It seems that Niu Fu suddenly became decisive, discovered the crisis, and planned to defend it strictly.

No matter how elite the white horse is, the cavalry can't attack the city, even if the city is just a group of remnants of the defeated generals. Even if the infantry in the back arrived, it would be in vain, Gongsun Zhan knew very well that Wang Yu's baggage had all the money, food, and cloth, but there was no half of the siege equipment.

"Big brother, rest assured, where do you still have the courage to stick to it? Let's see Yu give him the final blow to dispel his luck. Wang Yu laughed loudly, greeted Gongsun Zhan, and then rode forward.

Gongsun Chan was a little puzzled in his heart, and he couldn't figure it out, since Niu Fu wanted to run, why bother with this so-called final blow? What's more, Niu Fu is in the city, and Wang Yu can't fly, so what can Niu Fu do?

However, after today's battle, he has admired this little brother very much, how can ordinary people have such courage and strategy? Since Wang Yu said yes, it must be done.

Gongsun Zhan also followed, but Liu Bei and the others, who were about to compliment him a few words, pounced.

……

"Commander, the chasing soldiers are here, in addition to the one riding the white horse, that Wang Pengju is also here!"

"What's the use of you telling me!" Hu Zhen's face was flushed, his neck was thickened several times, he pointed to the city, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Shout there, tell Niu Zhonglang, he opened the door and let us in, everyone will work together to tide over the difficulties, and there is still a glimmer of life." He is behind closed doors, and there is only one way to die! Shout, shout to Lao Tzu! ”

The Xiliang soldiers all knew that when it came to life and death, even if Hu Zhen didn't say it, they would still shout.

Niu Fu didn't know if he was deaf, or he was scared stupid, there was no movement at the head of the city, if it wasn't for the fact that he could still see a figure shaking on it, Niu Fu's flag was also erected, and everyone thought that Niu Fu had run away.

"Niu Fu, you who kill a thousand knives, you can't die well! Wait and see! Lao Tzu won't let you go if you're a ghost! ”

Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, and the city was crowded with routs, and it was impossible to escape around the city, Hu Zhen and the others were completely desperate, and they all scolded one by one.

Bai Ma Yi is elegant in appearance, but he is not ordinary ruthless when he moves, unless he lies on the ground and does not move, otherwise he will hit a lance, and there is no intention of leaving a living mouth and catching a prisoner!

"General, are we fighting or retreating...... That Wang Pengju came over to kill, in case he ......"

In fact, the soldiers and generals at the head of the city are also trembling, and it is indeed a serious move not to open the city gate, but it is not a way to stand up like this! When they are all dead, aren't these people going to be caught in the urn?

"Afraid of what? He can't fly! Niu Fu's eyes were flickering, but he was still calm, and he muttered in his mouth: "Thousands of soldiers and horses avoid the dark and ride, so murderous and majestic...... In the future, no one will hold us back, right? It's not that he is useless, it's really that he is too powerful, and the people who meet him are all so virtuous! ”

"What the general said is ......" The generals and colonels under Niu Fu looked at each other, looked at the city a few times, and nodded in agreement.

Niu Fuwei felt that he was happy, and he was able to see the moon when he saw the clouds, and he was finally going to get out.

"But, General, here we are...... Not good! ”

"Be careful!"

Halfway through the words, the faces of all the generals changed greatly, and the exclamations became one, and as soon as Niu Fu came back to his senses, he felt a huge wind whistling past him, as if someone was wielding a giant hammer beside him.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and the wooden tower shook, and the dust fluttered down, making the generals disgraced.

Fortunately, it didn't fall.

"Good ...... Risk"

Niu Fu patted his chest, feeling like he had escaped death, and when he looked back, he found that it was a spear whistling past him! Apparently someone threw him up from under the city, and the pitcher's strength was not ordinary.

"General, are you alright? This shot was thrown by Wang Yu, he wants your life, general, let's hurry up......"

"Wait......" Niu Fu was not moved by everyone's persuasion, he looked directly at the spear, and then walked over step by step, the steps became bigger and bigger, and finally pounced directly on the barrel of the spear with a hungry tiger-like action.

The generals looked at each other, and for some reason, only a few people who stood close guessed something. There seemed to be something on the barrel of the gun, like a roll of silk......

Whether there is or not, they have no chance to confirm, because their Zhonglang will soon return to normalcy.

I saw Niu Fu stand up calmly, turn around, and wave his hand in high spirits: "Open the door, withdraw the troops, and go back to Luoyang to report to the prime minister!" ”

"Oh!" Up and down the city, there was thunderous cheering.
