Chapter 34: The First Battle of the Yellow Turban (Part II)

Seeing that the sentry rider was full of doubts after hearing the order, and looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Wang Xu couldn't help but smile slightly. "You can tell him what you say, he understands what I mean!"

"No!" The sentry finally took a deep breath when he heard this, and after bowing his hand, he turned his horse and galloped away.

After the sentry rode away, Xu Shu couldn't help but look at Wang Xu suspiciously. "Why don't you let the second brother hide everyone and ambush them? Instead, half of them were left outside. ”

"I want to too, but the enemy is not a fool. At present, the distance between us and the enemy is not far, and in such an encounter, as long as the other side sends out sentinels, it is very likely that we have already been discovered in advance. The sudden disappearance of the person only lets the other person know that it is a trap. So half of the men went to the ambush, and half of them continued to move forward with the same flag. This will make it difficult for the enemy to notice, and the success rate will be higher! ”

As he spoke, Wang Xu couldn't help but sigh and shook his head. "This kind of encounter is actually very untechnical, I heard that the opponent's troops have problems, and there are not many people, and the equipment is not as good as ours before I decided to fight this battle."

"Oh!"

At this moment, time was pressing, and Wang Xu didn't explain more, and immediately ordered loudly: "Bring my gun!" ”

Hearing this, the two flag officers who followed immediately slapped their horses and stepped forward and handed over Wang Xu and Xu Shu's weapons.

With the spear in hand, Wang Xu's spirit suddenly lifted, and he immediately gave a decisive order: "Xu Shu, you stay and continue to escort the grain and grass with the 3,000-person team, and find a place to set up camp." The 2,000th team is moving at full speed with me! ”

As soon as Wang Xu's order came out, the heralds behind him immediately roared loudly, and rushed to quickly spread the order to the ears of every soldier.

As soon as the 2,000-man squad in charge of the post-embarrassment received the order, the well-trained soldiers under the leadership of their respective guard commanders immediately increased their horses, and in a moment they were already assembled in front of the 3,000-man corps.

Seeing that the 3,000-person team would soon complete the formation, Wang Xu nodded with satisfaction. Only then did he turn his head, looked at Xu Shu with a stern expression, and said, "This grain and grass is our lifeblood, we must take care of it, and send someone to inform me immediately if there is anything." Of course, your safety is paramount! ”

"Yes! Go ahead and I'll take care of it! After speaking, Xu Shu looked at Wang Xu with a worried face and said, "It's you, the soldiers are in danger, you must be careful!" ”

"Hmm!" Glancing at Xu Shu deeply, Wang Xu didn't say much, and with a hard grip on the horse's belly, he patted the horse and galloped out, and the 2,000-person team saw his figure and immediately followed.

Hurrying all the way, Wang Xu quickly arrived at the fork in the road and the avenue. After quickly observing the surrounding terrain, Wang Xu immediately waved his hand and shouted. "Stop!"

Ignoring the soldiers who began to quickly reorganize the team behind, Wang Xu carefully observed the footprints of people and horses on the ground. After a long time, he finally made sure that Wang Fei understood what he meant, and he had already complied with it, so he put half of his heart down.

Then he glanced at the surrounding terrain again, and suddenly found that the left side of the avenue was actually a high slope, and there were many trees blocking it, which was very suitable for hiding. The area in front of the forest is relatively flat because it is close to the official road, which is very suitable for small-scale cavalry charges.

Wang Xu is not familiar with the terrain in this area, and when he saw that there was such a good place, he immediately waved his hand and immediately said: "The whole army went to hide in the forest on the high slope on the left, formed four columns of sharp arrows, and stood by to act!" If there is a strange sound, slash! ”

They were all well-trained guards, and it only took two minutes for a thousand iron horsemen to complete Wang Xu's order. Subsequently, Wang Xu was not at ease and sent dozens of sentry horses to explore the distance of the enemy, and as the sentry horses continued to return, Wang Xu's heart became more and more nervous.

The reason why Wang Xu now let the whole army ambush collectively is because he feels that the enemy army has not discovered his own troops. Wang Fei may be discovered as a vanguard army, but if the other party even discovers himself, he will never continue to advance.

After all, although there are quite a few Yellow Turban Thieves, a thousand iron horsemen will not care too much. But if they encounter three thousand well-equipped iron horsemen head-on, and their combat effectiveness is obviously several grades lower, how can they continue to rush forward stupidly?

Moreover, if the opponent's sentry horse wanted to observe himself, he had to avoid Wang Fei and his own sentry horse, and Wang Xu didn't believe that the other party's Su zhì was high enough to completely avoid his scout troops, which were far beyond the norm by several times.

Moreover, what happened to the two Yellow Turban Army on the avenue, Wang Xu was not clear. Hiding here is not all for ambush, but to avoid the Yellow Turban Sharpness, attack according to the situation, and deal a heavy blow to its main force in one fell swoop. Coupled with the terrain advantages here, the initiative and time to attack will be in Wang Xu's hands at that time.

After waiting for about ten minutes in a depressing atmosphere, the first wave of the Yellow Turban Army finally appeared in Wang Xu's sight. After a cursory look, this yellow scarf is well equipped and can be regarded as sophisticated. Strangely, they looked more like they were fleeing.

Although the procession was not too chaotic and ran in an orderly manner, there was no clear flag. One or two sides were also dragged upside down on the ground, and the soldiers were disheveled, with a look of panic on their faces.

As they quickly came to the front, Wang Xu also became more and more sure of the judgment in his heart. It's unclear what the situation is, but one thing is certain: what the force is evading.

A guard chief beside him couldn't bear it, and suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Young master, do you want to charge?" ”

Wang Xu immediately raised his hand and stopped: "No, this team is scattered, untidy and untidy, although it marches with all its strength, the horse speed is not fast, and it seems that it is also a tired team." It's not far from chaos, and it doesn't have much combat power. Let them pass! There is Xu Shu in the back with a thousand people to wait for work, which is enough. Let's directly hit the 1,000 main yellow scarves in the back! ”

After a moment of silence, Wang Xu opened his mouth and ordered: "You immediately inform everyone, and as soon as my spear is raised later, the whole army will prepare immediately!" ”

"No!"

After waiting for about two or three minutes, the Yellow Turban Army in the rear team finally appeared in Wang Xu's eyes.

The first one will be very young, estimated to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. He is a burly man, with a broad face and short beard, slightly dark skin, and he is also the only person in the Yellow Turban Army who is fully armoured, wearing heavy armor and holding a long-handled broadsword, which looks extremely powerful.

Wang Xu didn't expect that there would be such a general leading the team in this Yellow Turban Army. However, he did not hesitate, and when the opponent's brigade rushed to his diagonal front, he immediately raised his spear, and shouted loudly: "Bow and arrow ready!" ”

"Whew!" After a loud whistling, all the soldiers took the bow and arrow behind their backs into their hands as quickly as possible, and drew their bows and arrows.

"The first two columns are diffused! The last two columns are projectiles! Hit! As the words fell, the Yellow Turban Army, who had not yet reacted from Wang Xu's roar, instantly saw countless arrows pouring down.

The Yellow Turban troops who were running suddenly turned on their backs and exclaimed: "Ah! There is an ambush! Immediately after, there were earth-shattering screams.

This sudden rain of arrows caused the Yellow Turban troops to suffer a lot of casualties, and also made the entire team stop advancing.

But this is not the end of it, under the command of Wang Xu, waves of arrows rain followed, and the screams suddenly came one after another, endlessly. Although none of the subsequent shots caused the same casualties as the first wave, it was also a heavy blow to these Yellow Turbans who did not have good protective equipment.

Seeing that the young general on the other side seemed to be intent on stabilizing the situation, he organized troops to counterattack. Wang Xu smiled coldly, snatched the longbow of the person beside him, and pierced his arms, instantly pulling the bowstring into a full moon.

After closing his eyes and feeling the strength of the bowstring and the wind, he roughly calculated the arc of the parabola, quickly aimed at the top of the yellow turban thief's head, and gently let go of the bowstring......
