Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
For Huang Zhong's future army arrangement, Yang Tian has other plans, although the wildebeest archers are also very perverted, but due to the limited production of wildebeests, it is impossible to form them on a large scale, and they are obviously not suitable for Huang Zhong's Blazing Sun archers. Or can the regular cavalry that can be formed on a large scale be more suitable for Huang Zhong.
After receiving the order, the Sunset Legion immediately broke away from the army and accelerated its speed towards the southwest. The other two legions also quickened their march, quickly following in the direction of the Sunset Legion's departure.
Then, the rear of the Yellow Turban Army fell into bad luck, and a strange cavalry followed closely behind, constantly shooting at the Yellow Turban soldiers who were left behind at long range. But if the Yellow Turbans send people to surround them, the other party will immediately turn around and flee. This annoyed the Yellow Turbans.
At the position of the Yellow Turban Army, the group of people on war horses were arguing about this matter at the moment. And at the end of this group, the Flying God King was riding on a horse with his head down, very depressed, and it seemed that he had lost so many troops, even if he fled back to Zhang Jiao's side, life would not be easy, and he had obviously lost Zhang Jiao's trust.
"Big brother! I think we should speed up the march and ignore the fleas in the back, anyway, they only talk about thousands of people, and they only kill us 10,000 or 20,000 a day, not to mention that those soldiers in the back of the palace are already weak and useless. After we destroy the dog thief of Huangfu Song, we will go back to the division to deal with these fleas, and we are not afraid of delaying too much time. A military general wearing armor and holding a sledgehammer said loudly to the warlock who was walking in the middle of the city wearing a crown of cupola and holding a seven-section staff. There is no doubt that this warlock is Zhang Jiao, the Tiangong general and great sage teacher of the Yellow Turban Army.
"The third brother's words are bad, if we don't care about that cavalry all the time, the morale of the rear army may collapse because of this, and it won't be a matter of tens of thousands of people at that time." Another military general with a sharp spear said. I think this person is Zhang Jiaozhi's second brother Zhang Bao, and the person who first spoke was the third brother Zhang Liang.
Hearing Zhang Bao say this, Zhang Liang said: "Second brother, it's not that you don't know which cavalry is cunning, when we found this army before, we had asked Du Yuan to send light cavalry to surround it, and now there is no news at all, and this damn cavalry is back, thinking that Du Yuan has already suffered." Based on this estimate, the other party must have more than these 3,000 cavalry. If we send a large number of troops to encircle it, it will inevitably delay the opportunity to exterminate the army of Huangfu Song, and if Dong Zhuo also rushes to Jizhou at that time, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to deal with it. β
Zhang Bao said: "We don't need to chase after us at all. The other party is chasing so closely, you only need to send elite forces to ambush on both sides of the official road and lay pockets, and when our army is over, the other party will naturally throw itself into the net. β
Zhang Liang was about to argue again, and Zhang Jiao said indifferently: "The number of this army hidden in the shadows will not be too large, otherwise they will fight us to the death." However, according to our intelligence, we have not heard of such strange archers in this area. And if I'm guessing correctly, they should have a mount capable of flying, so they know everything about our movements. In this kind of situation where the enemy is dark and we are clear, we can't rush out again, just send 10,000 seventh-order heavy shield soldiers to the queen! Avoid being slaughtered too much by the other side of our soldiers. β
Zhang Bao's general Zhou Cang asked for orders: "Virtuous master, subordinates please lead the army to intercept the enemy army!" β
Zhang Jiao immediately promised that among all the Yellow Turban Army, Zhou Cang's force was only ranked after Guan Hai, and he was the well-deserved backbone of the Yellow Turban Army, and he could fully undertake such a task.
Then Zhou Cang ordered all the generals and rushed towards the rear army......
Zhang Jiao's move really worked, and the bows and arrows of the Sunset Legion were almost useless in front of the thick steel shield, and each round of attacks wasted a lot of arrows in vain, except for the projectile that could kill a few unlucky eggs.
Fortunately, Huang Zhong and other generals were very powerful, even if they were strong steel shields, they were powerless to stop the arrows they shot. In particular, Huang Zhong's pneumatic arrows were simply saved to deal with heavy shield soldiers, and when an arrow passed, at least two heavy shield soldiers would die as a result. If it weren't for the long cooldown time of the pneumatic arrow, I'm afraid that just Huang Zhong would be able to kill the Yellow Turban Heavy Shield Soldiers and flee in fear.
Several attacks, the effect was not good, Sun Miao made it easy for Huang Zhong to discuss.
Huang Zhiti asked the lord to transfer the Qinglong Legion, and the heavy cavalry was undoubtedly the one who could best restrain the heavy shield soldiers.
However, in order not to make the Yellow Turban Army suspicious, they still continued to attack the heavy shield soldiers led by Zhou Cang.
The Yellow Turban army continued to advance, although many corpses of heavy shield soldiers were left behind along the way, but the impact on the morale of the army was not very great, at least the ordinary soldiers did not think that the commander had abandoned them, and did not regard them as cannon fodder.
Zhou Cang followed closely behind the army, although his subordinates all raised heavy shields, and were always on guard against the sunset army in the rear, it was impossible to march at full speed. But after all, they all have the strength of seventh-order soldiers, and their marching speed is much higher than that of ordinary fourth-order soldiers, so they don't have to worry about falling behind.
Although Zhou Cang was annoyed by the constant harassment and attacks of these archers, he also knew that even if he caught up, he was afraid that he would only have to eat ashes, and he would only have to defend honestly, so as not to be beaten too painfully.
However, he was also very curious, half a day had passed, and the other party had only caused more than 1,000 deaths and injuries to himself. For the entire Yellow Turban army, it doesn't matter at all. But the other party is still happy to fight this senselessly, and I don't know why.
In the evening, when the army had just rounded a mountain peak, Zhou Cang suddenly noticed that the archers on the other side had stopped firing and moved out of the way. Originally, when he thought that the other party was finally tired and wanted to stop and rest, Zhou Cang suddenly heard a dull hoof sound from behind, and he was approaching this side at a very fast speed.
Zhou Cang's brows furrowed tightly, and he immediately ordered to be on guard, and at the same time sent a herald to report to Zhang Jiao.
Having been in battle for a long time, he could clearly tell that the hoof sound was not caused by ordinary cavalry, but definitely heavy cavalry. He also knew that it was not a wise choice to resist the heavy cavalry with heavy shield soldiers, but at this moment, his rear was the Yellow Turban army, and its strength was very low, and if he had to rely on these people to stop the heavy cavalry rushing over, I was afraid that the damage would be even worse. Zhou Cang is a fierce man, so naturally he will not retreat from the battle, exposing his robe to the enemy's butcher's knife.
Soon, the ground began to tremble, and countless cavalry riding huge rhinoceros appeared in Zhou Cang's field of vision, and those cavalry, under the leadership of the two generals, rushed straight towards the Yellow Turban Heavy Shield Soldiers behind the palace, these two generals were Yang Tian and Da Niu.
At the same time, one of the generals in the group of archers also rushed out in an instant, rushing forward side by side with the two generals, this person is Huang Zhongkou, the deputy general of the Sunset Legion, although Huang Zhong is known as the god of arrows, he is not only able to shoot arrows, his sword skills are also extraordinary. With such combat power, how could Yang Tian not use it?
Zhou Cang was a little dumbfounded when he saw the huge horns on the heads of those rhinoceros shining with cold light, his heavy shield soldiers could withstand these rhinoceros cavalry? !
"Raise your shield! Prepare to attack! Zhou Cang reluctantly gave an order, as a heavy shield soldier with only a heavy shield in his hand, in the face of such a situation, there was no other way than to give up the defensive role of the shield and use it to attack the other party. Can you still build a shield to defend it?
The two armies rushed together in an instant, and several heavy shield soldiers at the front were suddenly knocked out with their shields, and the transparent holes in the shields showed the destructive power of the impact at that moment.
Zhou Cang deserves to be a first-class historical general, when an ironclad rhino cavalry rushed towards him, he yelled: "I, Zhou Cang, am here, wait for your life!" After speaking, he stabbed the iron-armored rhinoceros rider in the head, and the iron-armored rhinoceros rider was immediately split in half, but Zhou Cang could not continue to exert his might, so he was found by Huang Zhong who rushed in front.
Zhou Cang, who had never met an opponent since the confrontation with the imperial army, felt that his strength was so low for the first time. After only three moves with Huang Zhong, he was already in danger.
"Hansheng, catch it alive.!" When Yang Tian heard Zhou Cang's name, he was shocked in his heart, for fear that Huang Zhong would cut the other party with one sword, so he immediately issued an order to Huang Zhong.
Yang Tian danced wildly with the Divine Spear in his hand, and those ordinary steel shields, under the Divine Spear, were no different from the papier-mΓ’chΓ©. Moreover, as generals whose force value has reached the necessary point, these ordinary seventh-order soldiers have no enemy at all.
In a moment, 10,000 heavy shield soldiers were rushed to pieces, with countless casualties, most of them were trampled to death by the ironclad rhinoceros, and they were extremely aggrieved.
At this time, Zhou Cang was finally defeated by Huang Zhong, and was slashed off his horse by Huang Zhong, and then Huang Zhong drove forward and restrained him easily. After stunning, he threw it to a high-ranking military general who followed behind.
Strangled the opponent's 10,000 heavy shield soldiers, Yang Tian was not arrogant, and immediately asked Da Niu to order the whole army to retreat. When Zhang Jiao led the eighth-order Yellow Turban Lux Legion to the battlefield, the Blue Dragon Legion had already disappeared, and even the Sunset Legion, which had been following the Yellow Turban Army, had slipped away together.
Seeing a messy battlefield, full of stumps and broken arms, blood everywhere, and occasionally one or two heavy shield soldiers lying on the ground and groaning, but the blood foam that kept coming out of the mouth showed that these people were also about to return to the underworld, and Zhang Jiao rushed to his head with a burst of anger!
Just as he was about to order the army to pursue, the Flying God King said weakly on the side: "Master, just now the disciple listened to the discussion of the sergeant and knew that this matter was done by a heavy cavalry riding a rhinoceros, and as far as the situation described by it was the same as the Baiyun City legion that the disciple encountered in Shuining County, Yangzhou. β
Zhang Jiao glanced at him coldly and said, "You said that this thing was done by the army of Baiyun City?" Those archers before were also the army of Baiyun City? β
The Flying God King immediately said respectfully, "That's true, the disciple doesn't dare to lie. (To be continued)
