Chapter 35: The First Battle of the Yellow Turban (Part II)
The arrows on the string are bounced by the bowstring and shoot out with electricity. After cutting a graceful arc through the air, head straight for the young thief. And the longbow in Wang Xu's hand did not completely stop vibrating at this moment, which shows the strength of this arrow.
But the young thief's martial arts are quite good, in Wang Xu's "Huh! With a slight slash of the long-handled broadsword, the lightning-like arrow fell to the ground. And the sharp gaze also shot towards Wang Xu's place in an instant!
Shaking his head regretfully, Wang Xu threw the longbow in his hand back into the soldier's hand, but his eyes met the other party's angry gaze without fear. He also ordered without stopping: "The last three rounds of non-stop salvos!" ”
The soldiers faithfully carried out his orders, and three successive waves of dense arrows suddenly brought more casualties and fear to the Yellow Turbans, and many of the thieves on the fringes had already begun to flee.
Moreover, this continuous rain of arrows also completely dispersed the little force that the Yellow Turban Thief had managed to organize, and in the blink of an eye, the Yellow Turban Army was in chaos.
Seeing that the time had come, Wang Xu shouted without hesitation: "Get on the horse!" ”
The soldiers, who had already been demoralized by the successful ambush of the other party, moved even faster, and were ready to go in a breath!
With a satisfied smile, he immediately raised the spear in his hand and shouted with all his might: "Form a sharp arrow formation, and the whole army will charge!" ”
After speaking, ignoring Wang Fei's reminder that he couldn't carry out a horse war now, he slammed the horse's belly, "Huh! "I had to rush out first.
As a thousand elite cavalrymen in iron armor rushed out, the already chaotic Yellow Turban thieves suddenly gasped in unison, and then fled in all directions screaming.
"Ahh It's a heavily armed Iron Horseman! ”
"Run! Brethren! ”
Even the Yellow Turban Thief General was no exception, and he was shocked when he saw that the people and horses rushing out turned out to be uniform standard equipment.
He looked at his brothers, who were already in disarray, with heavy casualties. Immediately turned the horse's head and shouted decisively: "Retreat! ”
Then he led the Yellow Turban soldiers to gallop towards the way they came, and at the same time took a deep look at Wang Xu, who was in the lead.
But in just a distance of more than 100 steps, it was just a matter of an eye for the cavalry, and the soldiers led by Wang Xu instantly hit the rear wing of the fleeing Yellow Turban Army.
When facing the enemy, Wang Xu did not have any soft hands, and after taking a deep breath, the internal force in his body flowed, and the spear poked out like a poisonous dragon. The man in front of him didn't even see his gun clearly, and he picked him off his horse. Later, Wang Xu continued to speed his horse, and his spear turned continuously, rushing all the way down.
But after all, it was the first time to participate in the war, and the scene of stumps and broken arms flying around and the miserable howl before death actually made Wang Xu's heart tremble. The eyes of the slain person looking at him before he fell down made Wang Xu witness the cruelty of the battlefield for the first time. There is even a strong sense of guilt and disgust rising in my heart!
He was now able to barely let himself ignore the rush to the limit, so he didn't have the heart to pay attention to the things around him. It wasn't until he found that everything around him was empty that he could barely suppress the feelings in his heart.
But it's no wonder that Wang Xu has been in a peaceful year for a long time, and the few fights and killings he has seen are also that kind of grudge, and more understanding of war comes from news and movies. But how can it be the same as this kind of real hand-to-hand combat?
Therefore, compared to ordinary people in this era, he is even inferior. After all, ordinary people in this era are relatively stronger in the face of harsh survival and natural environment. But he was a man who came from later generations and was highly educated.
Wang Xu never thought that the first battle in his life would happen like this, and he never thought that he would be so bad. But for the first time, seeing the bloodshed and cruelty of war, in the face of the shattered corpses, in the face of the miserable howls and desperate eyes of death, there are a few people who can be completely calm in their hearts.
It's just that since you have been reborn in this troubled world, there are some things that you have to face. People always grow up in persecution, Wang Xu is now persecuted like this, if you want to survive in the troubled times without being oppressed, if you want to control the fate of yourself and your family, then you must face a qiē.
Thinking of the relaxed and comfortable conquest of the Three Kingdoms in the novels he had read before, Wang Xu really sighed that there is always an unattainable distance between reality and dreams.
After sighing, Wang Xu, who came back to his senses, observed the current battle situation......
Seeing that the thief army had completely fled, he couldn't help but use his internal force and shouted: "Stop the pursuit, Mingjin retreats!" ”
The slightly immature voice also reached the ears of the soldiers in an instant, and the soldiers who had been following behind in charge of the drum immediately struck the "cymbal" when they heard the order.
"Bell...... Clang...... Bell ......" As the sound of metal striking came from afar, even the red-eyed soldiers stopped one after another.
This is subconscious, and the principle of "advancing when you hear the drums, and retreating when you hear the sound of gold" has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the soldiers during the training. So, many times it is more effective than the shout of the Lord.
Soon, the scattered troops gradually regrouped, and seeing that there was no major problem here, Wang Xu quickly found the captain of the guard who had asked him if he wanted to charge in the dense forest just now, and asked him to temporarily lead 500 people to stay and clean up the battlefield.
He took the rest of the people and hurried towards the path to the north, and he was not very worried about Wang Fei's side.
But he didn't run far before he saw Wang Fei slowly walking with a neat and uniform army.
"Second brother! How's the battle going? Seeing that Wang Fei looked a little depressed, Wang Xu couldn't help but ask eagerly.
"Tell me more! I waited for the road as you commanded, and as soon as the Yellow Turbans arrived, the five hundred men who were lying in ambush on the flanks immediately fired a volley, and the troops in front also launched fire. However, after only five rounds of shooting, the group of yellow turban thieves turned around and ran, and I didn't dare to chase after me for fear of any changes. So it's back! Saying that, Wang Fei scolded even more angrily: "It's really a bunch of waste, and they didn't let me kill it!" ”
Ben thought something had changed, but who would have thought it would be like this. Seeing Wang Fei's sulking appearance, Wang Xu couldn't help laughing. "It's not good, it's the ability to repel the opponent without losing a single soldier!"
"What's good? The plan was yours, and I didn't kill anyone, so it didn't work at all. ”
"Huh!" Wang Xu didn't bother to talk to Wang Fei about this, and after briefly describing the situation on his side, he took the troops to find Xu Shu.
When the two of them found the camp, they found a batch of yellow turbans resting in the camp from a distance, and it seemed that it was the batch that Wang Xu had let go before.
Seeing that the other party was resting in the camp with good food and drink, Wang Xu couldn't help but glance at Wang Fei, who was also inexplicable, and quickly ran to the camp.
As soon as he arrived outside the camp, Xu Shu, who had been informed by the soldiers, had already greeted him, and when he saw Wang Xu and Wang Fei returning safely, he couldn't help but smile and said, "You guys are back!" How's the battle going? ”
"Hmmm! Not bad, a nice ambush. After speaking, he told Xu Shu about the battle situation in front of him.
Then he looked suspiciously at the yellow turban thieves who were enjoying good treatment. Puzzled, he asked, "Xu Shu, what's going on with these yellow turban thieves?" Is it a captive? How can you be treated so well? ”
"Poof!" With a smile, Xu Shu couldn't help but appreciate Wang Xu's big white eyes, and said angrily: "What kind of eyes are you?" Where are they yellow turban thieves, do you open your eyes and take a closer look? ”
