Section 30 Battles

Contrary to what most contractors had expected, the Han attack was launched the next day.

The weather is clear, the war drums are roaring, the trumpets are sounding, and the flags are waving. The soldiers of the Han army rushed out of the camp, mighty, majestic, and murderous.

This time, it was not the contractor who used special items to mobilize small groups of troops for their own benefit. Rather, according to the course of history itself, the Han army, under the leadership of its own commander, went all out to destroy the enemies of the empire.

Their total number is about four thousand. This is the number of troops gathered after the previous 1,000-strong attack, which was defeated by the enemy ambush and replenished with nearby reinforcements. Most of them were infantry. All the troops that could be gathered in the vicinity were here.

Although they were outnumbered by the other side, they were well-armoured, well-trained, and disciplined, and in the eyes of both the commander of this unit and the soldiers in it, defeating the Yellow Turban troops in front of them was something that should be done.

The road is rough and difficult. At noon, the Han army advanced more than 30 kilometers, and when they were about to camp and rest, Huangfu Song received news from Tanma: the Yellow Turban troops had left the camp and were coming to meet them.

"It's good to come! Go ahead and break the Yellow Turban Eat! ”

With the order of the commander of the Han army, the Han army immediately began to advance again.

The two armies met at about half past two in the afternoon. The Yellow Turbans lined up on the slopes of the hill, with the front in the middle and the flanks behind. When the vanguard of the Han army arrived, they did not rush to charge, but waited a little, and only after the large army followed, did they spread out their formation and march with drums.

A flurry of arrows shot out of the Yellow Turban's formation. These are more than a hundred bows and crossbows captured in the last battle, the number of arrows is limited, the density is not large, and the intensity of the blow to the Han army is also limited. The Han army charged while shooting at the Yellow Turban position at high with strong bows and crossbows, but this time the threat was not great, and the Yellow Turban soldiers in front of the Gain position were all armed with shields and armor.

After the engagement, it was not easy for the Han army to fight. The Yellow Turbans held their positions firmly, refusing to retreat despite casualties.

The contractors have their own role to play. The old man, Darber's team was on the left side of the Han army; Rank's team was in the middle of the Han army; Getini's lump is on the right.

With a wave of his hand, black clouds rose in the Yellow Turban Formation, and the speed of the Yellow Turban Army in the enveloping area slowed down a lot; The golden-armored man held a large knife, and with one knife cut the shield of the Yellow Turban soldier in front of him, and then followed with several knives, cutting off one of the arms of the soldier in front of him.

The soldier was forced to retreat, leaving someone else on top. Around him, the people of this team also cooperated with the Han army and attacked the Yellow Turban Front, and there was a lot of pressure for a while.

Rank, who was in the middle, also rushed to the front at the beginning, attacking the opponent with the war hammer in his hand. found that he couldn't give the other party an overwhelming blow, but instead attracted the attention of the other party, and after receiving a lot of attacks, he also began to stop.

In the early stages of the battle, when both sides are in close formation, it is not a good time for the contractor to exert his power. They will make tentative attacks in the early stages to discern whether the enemy is soft persimmon or not. Once they find that they can't easily destroy their opponents, they invariably choose to stay strong--- wait until the battle situation is clear and the enemy begins to flee, and then chase and kill with their various skills, so that they can get the most benefits.

After twenty minutes of fighting, the Central Han Army inflicted some casualties on the Yellow Turban troops on the opposite side and forced them back several meters, but the Yellow Turban troops on both sides held on and almost never retreated. The overall formation of the Yellow Turban troops was still maintained very well, and there was no sign of defeat at all.

Huangfu Song at the back of the front frowned.

This is not the Yellow Turban Force he remembers. The Yellow Turban Army he encountered in the past was a group of ragged people with hoes and rakes, numerous and chaotic homeless. They can certainly rely on a large number of people to inflict shock and damage on their men. But once your men form a team, you can easily defeat them. But how did this happen?

It's like an army. Who taught them? The surrendered Han army?

Once it spreads, other yellow scarves will also learn, and the legacy will be endless. They must be annihilated here, and they will not be allowed to escape. Our army is tired, even if it is broken, it cannot be pursued as much as possible, and the yellow scarf should be a new training formation, and it is inconvenient to convert.... Thinking of this, he gave the order. "The rear team is forward, Mingjin is closed!"

The Han army in the rear pressed forward, and the Han army in front maintained its formation, retreating slowly, and seemed to be ready to counterattack at any time when the Yellow Turban Army pursued. But the Yellow Turban Army still maintained its formation and had no intention of pursuing.

Seeing no cheapness, the Han army did not continue, so they withdrew. And it wasn't until the Han army walked away that the yellow scarves on the hillside slowly turned around and began to retreat. Although it was slow and clunky, it was coordinated and there was no chaos.

It's a shame that the contractors didn't get the bargain. But they can't make drastic changes like the Wuzhou team, so they have to wait for the next opportunity.

"Even though the yellow scarves have a formation, they are clumsy. Today, our army is tired and should not fight for a long time. Tomorrow's detour will be broken. ”

After retreating for a few miles, after the Han army set up camp, Huangfu Song passed such an order to the whole army, causing bursts of cheers.

----

"Our army suffered more than 100 casualties and killed and wounded more than 10 Han soldiers. Dozens of shields were damaged, and armor and helmets were also quite damaged. ”

"Those who are injured are sent to special tents for treatment; If the armor is damaged, let them find a way to fix it themselves. If it really doesn't work, let them apply for a replacement. ”

Beside them, several Han officers who had defected were directing the soldiers to build a new camp - they were more experienced in this kind of thing. Camp walls, antlers, gates, tents... All well arranged.

It's a blessing to be able to hand over the work to your subordinates.

Throughout the battle, Wang Luo was always on a high place, observing the situation on both sides. He was satisfied with the performance of his troops. They maintained the battle line, maintained the formation, and were not easily defeated by the Han army. What's more, it also remained stable psychologically--- although the battle was short, the exhaustion did not start to work, and it could not be considered a real test.

In terms of psychology, he could feel that the level of the Han army was not very good. Those professional soldiers can force their negative emotions to implement tactics, but blindly suppressing them is not a good thing.

Maybe there's a way to free it up.

Even if it doesn't take long to train, it's easier to get people to stay in place, but what about the next step?

Actually, I almost had a chance today. If the Han army continues to advance, continue to attack your own formation. If the front can change from a "convex" shape to a "concave" shape and still hold out without collapsing, it will be possible to make full use of the numerical advantage and let the troops on both flanks attack in the middle.

In that case, there is a high chance of inflicting heavy losses on the Han army in front of them--- apparently the commander of the Han army also sees the possible danger.

After that, all you have to do is continue training, keep fighting, and after many battles, the recruit will become a veteran, and the dangers on the battlefield will become accustomed to it.
