Chapter 171: The Great Breaking Spirit

Gongzhang embroidered the horse as a set, and directly killed Ji Ling. Behind him, Hu Che'er, Zhou Chuan, and the soldiers followed Zhang Xiu to kill in the direction of Ji Ling.

Ji Ling saw Zhang Xiu rushing over, and while riding his horse forward, he laughed and said, "Zhang Xiu, let you see the strength of the elite troops that I Ji Ling personally trained." After laughing, Ji Ling shouted: "The front army raises its shield, and the spearmen in the back rush." ”

When Ji Ling's department heard Ji Ling's command, the soldiers quickly reacted, the front army raised their shields, and the back soldiers pointed their spears forward, obviously wanting to use spearmen to pick off Zhang Xiu's cavalry.

When Zhang Xiu saw it, he smiled secretly and continued to lead the army forward. Soon Zhang Xiu crashed into the formation first, and those fragile leather shields were directly pierced by Zhang Xiu with a tiger's head golden gun, and then picked up, and the soldier with the shield was naturally killed by Zhang Xiu with a shot. After the spearmen who threw up, Zhang Xiu circled with a tiger's head golden gun, and then swept it hard, and several spearmen were vigorously swept away by Zhang Xiu. The so-called elite soldiers against the generals can't resist at all, the war at the end of the Han Dynasty is such an era dominated by generals, this is the law of the times, it can't be easily changed, at least not yet.

Zhang Xiu's horse crashed into Ji Ling's formation, and soon rushed out of a gap, and Zhou Cang and Hu Che'er behind him were the same, the two maces flew up and down, and there was no enemy at all. Seeing this, Ji Ling didn't feel the slightest surprise, but kept ordering the soldiers to surround and entangle the three of them, delaying their progress. It's not that Ji Ling doesn't care about the three of them, but his target today is the cavalry of Zhang Xiu's department.

Soon the cavalry of the rear brigade arrived, Ji Ling smiled, looking forward to the scene of the cavalry in front of him being picked off his horse by his soldiers, but unfortunately his smile soon froze, and then gradually disappeared, and his face became very ugly.

It turned out that the scene expected by Ji Ling almost did not appear, the cavalry of Zhang Xiu's department controlled the war horse to advance, when they encountered Ji Ling's soldiers raising their shields to usher in the momentum of preparing to stop the war horse rushing forward, these horsemen pulled the reins, and controlled the war horse to lift the front hooves and step forward, because the four hooves of the war horse were equipped with horseshoes, the front hooves of the war horse directly stepped through those big shields, and the soldiers were trampled to death, and then the cavalry rushed forward again, after breaking through the shield hand, a group of spearmen surrounded and killed, and the horsemen of Zhang Xiu's department stepped on the stirrups on both sides with their legs, Then he danced his hands and stabbed the spearmen to death before they could get close.

Obviously, Zhang Xiu took the horseshoes and bilateral stirrups as the front, and these cavalrymen who could already control the weapons with both hands on the horse completely suppressed the soldiers of Ji Ling's department, and the two cavalry equipment came out, which immediately made the combat power of the cavalry rise to a great level, and completely destroyed the elite soldiers trained by Ji Ling with the combat power of the Yue era.

Of course, not every cavalry is as powerful as the cavalry just mentioned, and there are many cavalrymen who were stabbed off their horses by Ji Ling's soldiers, this is war. Zhang Xiu actually expected this scene a long time ago, and it was also because of the 10,000 people in his department who had installed these two cavalry magic weapons that Zhang Xiu dared to come to the horse company camp.

In ancient China, the only way to fight cavalry with foot soldiers was to use a strong crossbow to deal with it, and only a strong crossbow could contain the cavalry's attack. As for the melee combat between the foot soldiers and the cavalry, Yue Fei once used a hook and sickle to break the abducted horse of the Golden Vulture, but that was only a way to deal with the formation of the abducted horse, if the Golden Vulture cavalry attacked in a scattered formation, Yue Fei would probably lose a lot if he could win. And Zhang Xiu has seen a lot of people say that he used an iron shield to pierce a hole in the middle, and then used a spear to pierce it in the middle, forming a horse-like weapon to stand on the ground to deal with the cavalry. At that time, Zhang Xiu thought that this method was very powerful, but when he reached the end of the Han Dynasty and came into contact with the cavalry, Zhang Xiu felt that the method was ridiculous. Secondly, this kind of shield formation composed of only a spear as a spike, there is too much space between the two shields, the cavalry can break through it, and can also be swept away with weapons, those iron shields standing on the ground can not be completely fixed at all, and the attacking cavalry may have losses, but it is impossible to completely restrain them.

The cavalry without horseshoes and bilateral stirrups still had a way to restrain the infantry in this era, just look at the white horse righteousness of Yuan Shao on the boundary bridge who broke Gongsun Zhan with his foot soldiers. But the troops equipped with two ** treasures of cavalry, there are no foot soldiers to restrain for the time being, of course, these will not be easy to say in the future. If there is a spear in this world, there will naturally be a shield, and when the spear is upgraded, the big shield will naturally be upgraded with it, which is caused by human nature.

Zhang Xiu's troops equipped with horseshoes and bilateral stirrups tore through the defense line of Ji Ling's department, which can be regarded as the due effect of the debut of the new combat supplies, which is really not surprising. And because the defense line of Ji Ling's department was completely torn apart, there was already chaos in the front of his troops, resulting in the same kind of troops in the back. Ji Ling, who was under the command of the Chinese army, had not yet recovered from the blow at this time, and he was still wondering why Yuan Shao could break Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Righteous Servant at the Jieqiao

At this time, the adjutant general Xun Zheng shouted: "General be careful. When Ji Ling heard this, he immediately raised his head and saw a gun shadow in front of him, and the gun shadow was like a beautiful phoenix, dazzling. The same move Ji Ling also saw, it was seen under the Jishui Pass and the Tiger Prison Pass, thinking of this, Ji Ling finally came back to his senses, and his heart was flustered, and at the same time, a person's name flashed in his mind, "Zhang Xiu."

After Ji Ling came back to his senses, he immediately raised the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand to meet it, only to hear a loud sound of "dang", Ji Ling only felt a sharp shock in his arms, and then completely felt numbness, and then his hands hurt from the tiger's mouth, and he didn't need to look at it to know that the tiger's mouth was broken, and blood continued to flow out.

Ji Ling didn't care about the tiger's mouth breaking, because at this time Zhang Xiu's second move had come, only to see the beautiful phoenix point at Ji Ling with a noble head, obviously Zhang Xiu wanted to fight, and had already used the most powerful phoenix trio, and it was the second phoenix seven that was used at this time.

"Dang, dang" Ji Ling barely blocked two more moves, seeing that Zhang Xiu was about to point at his eyebrows for the third time, and Ji Ling was already completely desperate. Just when Ji Ling was desperate, he only heard a "dang" sound, and a long knife held Zhang Xiu's tiger head golden gun, and Ji Ling fixed his eyes on it, it was his deputy general Xun Zheng.

I only heard Xun Zheng say to Ji Ling: "General, hurry up, a certain person is here to block Zhang Xiu." The general is a heavy general under the command of the lord, and he cannot be killed here. ”

When Ji Ling heard this, he immediately turned his horse's head and left, and said at the same time: "A certain will only take care of your parents, wife and children." ”

After hearing this, Xun Zheng said with a smile: "Thank you, General Gaoyi." After finishing speaking, he swung his knife and slashed at Zhang Xiu. I saw Zhang Xiu's tiger head golden gun gently pressed, blocking Xun Zheng's attack, and then said: "It's a good man, but unfortunately it's not finished, Zhang Xiu's tiger head golden gun danced rapidly, the shadow of the gun was danced, and the phantom of the phoenix reappeared, Xun Zheng only had time to look at the beautiful phoenix, and he felt a pain in his throat, and then the whole person was thrown off the horse."

As soon as Xun Zheng died, Zhang Xiu lightly instructed the guard: "After taking his corpse, I glanced in the direction of Ji Ling, and saw that he had retreated into his own soldier formation, Zhang Xiu snorted coldly, hung up the tiger's head golden gun, quickly took off the big bow behind his back, pulled the bow and arrow, and shot at Ji Ling is arrow."

I only heard the sound of the bowstring, and Ji Ling, who was running, fell off his horse. At this time, the shouting and killing sound kept coming, but it was the elite of the Jingzhou army led by Cai Mao who had already been killed, Zhang Xiu immediately put away the big bow, took back the tiger's head golden gun, and then asked the guard: "What about Hu Che'er and Zhou Cang?" ”

The guard replied, "The two generals are breaking through the walls of the camp to open the exit. ”

Zhang Xiu hummed, at this time, heard a cheer from the side of the camp, Zhang Xiu turned his head to look, and saw that a section of the camp was smashed open a gap, Zhang Xiu vaguely saw two huge maces, knowing that it was Hu Che'er and Zhou Cang who had made a contribution, and immediately said: "Tell me to go down, don't fall in love with the war, and return to the camp." Then he led his army towards the gap.

However, Zhang Xiu's department broke thirteen battalions in a row, and they have been fighting for a long time, and the physical strength and horsepower of the people are very expensive. Zhang Xiu has led the troops for a long time, so he naturally knows what it means to accept it when he sees it, and tonight's goal has been completely achieved, so he immediately led the army to retreat.

The cavalry came and went like the wind, especially on the plains, how could the Jingzhou army catch up with the cavalry with only two legs. Cai Mao originally thought that Ji Ling's department was the elite of Yuan Shu's army, and it should be able to block the retreat of Zhang Xiu's department, and then when his department and Sun Ce's department arrived to form a siege, then the cavalry of Zhang Xiu's department had no spare place for the horses to run, and the cavalry's combat power would drop greatly, and it would not be impossible to completely annihilate Zhang Xiu's department at that time.

But Cai Mao never expected that Ji Ling's department would be so fragile, and the seemingly solid defense line was completely vulnerable, easily torn apart by Zhang Xiu's cavalry, and then broke through, and even Ji Ling himself did not know whether he was alive or dead at this time. Cai Mao could only watch as Zhang Xiu led a large group of cavalry to calmly break the camp and leave.

Sun Ce, who was behind, was shocked when he saw that Zhang Xiu's subordinates directly destroyed Ji Ling's seemingly solid defense line, and then calmly left. Since he also had a period of time in Yuan Shu's army, he didn't think much of Ji Ling's martial arts, but Ji Ling was very good at training the army, and almost all of Yuan Shu's elites were trained by Ji Ling, which may be slightly inferior to Sun Jian's troops, but they are also considered the elite of the world. And it is such a strong army in Sun Ce's cognition that was completely defeated by a charge of Zhang Xiu's department, which is shocking can be imagined, and the three generals next to Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang also sighed with emotion, they knew that Zhang Xiu's army was a third-rate army that followed Huangfu Song to exterminate the Yellow Turban, and did not want to go through Zhang Xiu's hand-coin training and conquest for a few years, and had grown into a first-class strong soldier in the world.
