There is no doubt that the 100,000 pathfinder army sent by Dong Zhuo encountered the Sunset Legion in Baiyun City, which was composed entirely of wildebeest archers, which was also the smallest legion among the twelve main legions in Baiyun City. But it is also a legion whose strength cannot be underestimated by anyone. In the past, the wildebeest archers were all composed of seventh-order soldiers, but with the passage of time, most of the soldiers were gradually promoted to eighth-order soldiers, and even if some of them were difficult to advance to eighth-order soldiers because they were B-level qualifications, Yang Tian also took out the "Special Archery Technique" to let them advance directly.

In the dumbfounded shíhòu under the command of Dong Zhuo's army, the first round of arrows finally landed on their heads, and a scream suddenly sounded in front of them, and at least nearly two hundred people died in this round of attacks.

The commander ordered the whole army to charge at full speed in the first shíjiān, and it was necessary to catch up with the sunset army that was galloping forward in the shortest shíjiān, so that the zìjǐ side would not be fired by the opponent's unrestricted cavalry.

The army sent by Dong Zhuo was indeed an elite army, and after the commander gave the order, all the soldiers slapped their weapons in their hands, and all the war horses accelerated and rushed forward, and their speed suddenly increased by 20%.

However, although their speed was considered to be very fast, there was still a certain gap compared to the Sunset Legion running ahead, so that the commander not only did not see the distance shortened, but increased from the original one hundred and fifty meters to nearly three hundred meters again. The soldiers in the rear of the Sunset Army turned around and fired again, and another round of arrows rained down on the head of the army.

The countless arrows gave Dong Zhuo's soldiers nowhere to hide, and the commander could only watch the soldiers die under the flying arrows, which made his eyes split.

The Sunset Legion did not have the slightest sympathy for the enemy, and they ran forward and fired backwards, and after nearly twenty rounds, the two armies had traveled almost four or five kilometers forward. But Dong Zhuojun paid for four or five thousand people's lives. Although these four or five thousand people are indeed not shíme compared to the 100,000 army, if it continues like this, these 100,000 troops will definitely have the kěnéng of total annihilation. Of course. The premise of this result is that the wildebeest archer has enough body to shoot, and every time the bow is drawn to shoot the sky, the archer needs to pay a great deal of body. This left in the last nearly 1,000 people of the wildebeest bow riding arm are yǐjīng numb, want to draw the bow again. But I need to rest for a long time.

The commander did the same about this, and he had a plan in his heart, that is, to fight for the vitality of this army. This archery cavalry corps must also be left behind, otherwise letting them stay in this area will definitely be a great wēixié for the Dong Zhuo forces who enter and leave Luoyang City.

In the commander's consciousness, when the cavalry charged at full speed, it was difficult to change the formation even on the wide official road, since the archers behind the opponent could no longer shoot. Then they will be relatively safe.

However, the development of things often surprises others, just after the wildebeest archers in the rear stopped shooting, they saw that they had accelerated their running speed, and the level just now was not their fastest speed, which made Dong Zhuo's sergeant begin to spread a panicked feeling in his heart. The other party has such a perverted war horse. How will this battle be fought? Even if the other party can no longer shoot at them at a distance, then zìjǐ will not catch up with them.

Just as the wildebeest archers behind them had accelerated, the troops in front of them slowed down, and the interlaced guòchéng seemed to have been practiced countless times! After several breaths, the Sunset Legion changed formations before and after, and the wildebeest archers behind the re-palace began to shoot again.

Sergeant Dong Zhuo was suddenly depressed! It's not endless. One of the lieutenants beside the commander frowned and said, "Commander, why don't we retreat?" It's not the way to go! ”

The situation in front of them is very unfavorable for them, and since the opponent has the ability to change the formation once, it is absolutely necessary to change the formation a second time. This is equivalent to leaving enough rest for the other party, and the commander also believes that each member of the cavalry in front of him definitely carries more than one pot of arrows, and the other party completely nénggòujìnháng attacks many times until the body of the war horse is exhausted, but in this guòchéng, how much can they have left in this 100,000 army?

The commander pondered for a moment, then ordered: "The whole army retreats!" Vice General Wang, you lead a team of 10,000 people into the woods of zhōuwéi, abandon your horses, and continue your march northward, be sure to inquire about the opponent's bottom qīngchǔ, and do your best to send the news back to complete the order given by Dong Taishi. ”

"Subordinates take orders!" Vice Admiral Wang accepted the order coldly, perhaps he thought that it would be difficult for him to come back alive, and said, "Commander, I can't go back, remember to help me take care of my family!" ”

The Commander said, "Don't be discouraged! Be safe along the way, don't fight hard with the other side, your task is only to get close to the opponent's large army, find out the number of the opponent's army, and then rush back as fast as possible. ”

Subsequently, Vice General Wang dismounted his horse first and rushed into the woods on both sides of the official road, and the 10,000-strong team that followed also jumped off his horse and rushed towards the woods.

"Stop! The rear army becomes the front army! The former army mutiny, the rear army! Fall back! The commander reined in his horse, then turned around and retreated, and all the men under his command reacted equally quickly, and they all stopped charging and turned their horses to run in the direction they had come. At the same time, they also took away the 10,000 war horses left behind, these are rare high-grade war horses, if they stay here, it will be an enemy, they don't want someone to ride such a war horse to attack Luoyang City one day.

Sun Miao, the commander of the Sunset Legion, had been walking behind the army, so he could see Dong Zhuojun's retreat clearly, he looked at the troops that had turned from cavalry into infantry and entered the woods, and he couldn't help but have a sneer on his face. As for the more than 80,000 Xiliang cavalry led by the commander, Sun Miao didn't intend to let them go like this. These Xiliang cavalry are just ordinary cavalry, not high-level special arms of Xiliang Iron Cavalry, with the strength of the members of the Sunset Legion, it can be said that it is just right to deal with them. Moreover, this is a pure cavalry team, and there are classes such as heavy shield soldiers that specialize in restraining archers, and Sun Miao would really be sorry if he let them go like this.

Sun Miao gave an order, and the Sunset Legion also stopped advancing, turning its head and chasing after the retreating Xiliang cavalry.

The commander of the Xiliang cavalry even has the heart to scold his mother at this time, do these damn guys belong to kraft candy? If you stick to someone, you won't let go! It seems that they will not give up until they are all left.

The wildebeest archers who ran forward shot even more, and the arrows quickly fell into the Xiliang cavalry like meteors crossing the sky, and one life after another came to the end under such an attack.

After another seven or eight kilometers of running back, the Xiliang cavalry was again reduced by more than 10,000 troops, which was definitely a huge blow to the commander, and what a mistake he made in his decision-making. However, what if he didn't make such a decision? Could it be that as originally yīyàng, continuing to chase the wildebeest archers does not seem to be a good way either, and in the end it will also lead all the Western Liang cavalry on the path of death.

What now? The foot strength of these cavalry horses is obviously not comparable to the enemy's mounts, and the gap between the two sides is still very large, so it is absolutely impossible to escape from the enemy's pursuit from the official road. This way is indeed very kěnéng to escape from the pursuit of the enemy, but in this way, even if he successfully escapes back to Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo will definitely ask for his head. For Dong Zhuo, the value of 100,000 war horses is definitely much stronger than that of him as a general. Thinking of this, the commander's face couldn't help but show a trace of sadness.

It seems that there are other ways to do it! But if you want the commander to decide to surrender here, but it can't be done, not to mention whether the 100,000 people in zìjǐ let 10,000 people be taken prisoner, whether he can get by on the face, just saying that he is Dong Zhuo's descendant general, he will not choose to surrender. It can be said that this commander's loyalty to Dong Zhuo is very high, otherwise Dong Zhuo would not have handed over 100,000 elite cavalry to him at such a critical point.

In desperation, the commander had no choice but to show the determination of a strong man to break his wrist, and ordered a military general to lead a team of 10,000 people to meet the chasing wildebeest archers. The purpose was simple, that is, to hope that this 10,000-strong team of nénggòu would hold back the pace of the other party and give the large army the shíjiān to escape.

10,000 heavy cavalry charged, although the other party was only a seventh-order soldier, but Sun Miao didn't dare to take it lightly! Because the other party is a heavy cavalry suitable for close combat, and these people are all archers suitable for long-range combat, the two sides are short-handed, although these people are one order stronger than the other party, they will not be the enemy's opponents. Moreover, even if the two sides fight equally, then these people can be regarded as losing, bìjìng The life of an eighth-order soldier is exchanged for the life of a seventh-order soldier, and it is clear who earns and who loses.

There was too much shíjiān for Sun Miao to hesitate, and after a moment of thought, he gave up continuing to chase the huge pie in front of him and ordered the army to retreat.

Of course, he also asked the army to stay away directly, but hung in front of the 10,000 Xiliang cavalry, slowly wearing down the opponent's living force. It seems that the more than 70,000 people can't catch up, but the fate of the 10,000 people in front of them is doomed.

Dozens of minutes later, the 10,000 cavalry abandoned by the commander of the Xiliang cavalry completely slept on this land, contributing a lot of equipment and skill books to the Sunset Legion, and at the same time leaving more than 10,000 high-grade war horses, these war horses are all excellent horses for forming heavy cavalry, Yang Tian will be very happy to see these things.

With such an idea, Sun Miao, in line with the principle of missing and not letting go, took away all the loot that zìjǐnénggòu had taken away. It's just that the ability of Zìjǐ and others to carry the wildebeest is really poor, and the errand of this porter has to be handed over to those Xiliang horses that have just been collected to complete.
