Huang Zhong also received military orders from Liu Bei, but he was not like Xu Rong, who had insight into the enemy's marching route in advance with the help of Jinyiwei, and finally arranged it in a targeted manner.

Liu Bei only told him that Han Sui's soldiers and horses were likely to appear from the left flank, so he should be on close guard.

In this regard, he can only spread scouts to try to obtain the enemy's position as soon as possible, and then arrange troops to deal with it.

Huang Zhong stood on a tall horse, watching the soldiers who kept walking by, his right hand clenching the long knife, and his left hand holding the treasure carving bow hanging on the horse.

Among the passing soldiers were heavy armor with square shields in their hands, which served as a barrier for the archers, ensuring a great stage for them.

More of them were soldiers with bows and crossbows and quivers on their backs.

It's a matter of success or failure.

Since taking charge of Luoyang, Liu Bei has divided his Hezhou Army and Yulin Army into multiple arms, so as to encourage the generals to make meritorious contributions.

The Bingzhou army was dominated by Lu Bu's wolf horse, Zhao Yun's white robe, and Zhang Fei's Tiefutu. Although there were only a few hundred people in Tiefutu, in the process of charging into battle, a large number of light cavalry were required to fight together.

Therefore, although Zhang Fei is the commander of the Iron Floating Massacre, he also has nearly 10,000 light horsemen under his command. It can be said that the cavalry he mastered was the largest cavalry corps under Liu Bei's command.

followed by Lu Bu's wolf horse, which numbered a full eight thousand, second only to Zhang Fei. Further down was Zhao Yun's seven thousand white robes, and the three of them almost mastered most of Liu Bei's cavalry.

But Huang Zhong knew very well that after the Battle of Guanzhong, Liu Bei's next step was Yizhou.

The terrain of Bashu is precipitous, and it is difficult for cavalry to exert it, and the main force attacking Bashu in the future will inevitably be the infantry army.

Gao Shun's trapping camp has already made a great reputation, and now it is his turn, and the armor-piercing army must not lag behind. Even if you can't be the leader, you can't be the last.

Huang Zhong has absolute confidence in his archery skills, but he doesn't dare to guarantee that his subordinates can wear Yang in a hundred steps like him.

In his mind, he couldn't help but recall Guo Jia's reminder to divide the horse archers under his command into three parts, or even six parts. The front army immediately retreated after a round of arrow rain, and began again and again from the already prepared rear army street to ensure that the arrow array would never stop.

This tactic will reduce the density of the arrow array, but it will increase the persistence. As long as the shield soldiers on the front line are not crushed, the crossbowmen can fire their arrows endlessly until they run out of arrows.

"Report ...... Ten miles ahead, enemy cavalry was spotted. ”

The herald's voice woke Huang Zhong out of his thoughts.

Here it comes!

"Array!"

……

The eyes are a gift from the heavens, allowing people to read the mountains, rivers, water, plants and trees...... There are so many delicate rivers and mountains.

Straight to the point.

When the scouts sent by Huang Zhong detected the Yongji of Han Sui's army, he also discovered Huang Zhong's existence.

"Could it be that Liu Bei has already predicted the movement of our army?" Han Sui muttered to himself, and his heart fell into hesitation.

Their battle was a surprise attack, but if they were exposed to the enemy's sight, the word "Qi" would lose its meaning.

Han Sui even had the idea of retiring from the army, he was able to rise in the chaos of Xiliang, relying on the correct choice at this critical moment.

However, he had the same concerns in his heart as Ma Teng. If he retreats from the army, Ma Teng will definitely be unable to support himself.

"Do you know who is leading the enemy?" After thinking about it, Han Sui planned to ask the details of the enemy army first.

Yan Xing thought for a moment and replied, "According to the scout's report, the enemy army is flying the "yellow" flag. ”

Yellow flags?

After some deep thought, Han Sui did not find the general surnamed Huang under Liu Bei.

As far as he knew, Liu Bei's fierce generals were Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Lu Bu, and Zhao Yun...... None of them have the surname Huang.

Yan Xing muttered: "Could it be just a partial division arranged by Liu Bei, our army's trip is secret, and Liu Bei's scouts should not be able to detect it." ”

Han Sui glanced at the sky, and finally made up his mind, and slowly pulled out his sword and raised it to the sky: "The whole army obeys the order!" ”

Hearing this, the soldiers behind him drew their swords one after another, raised their spears in their hands in response.

Next to the huge war drums, the drummers were ready to give the order to beat the drums of the attack.

"Kill!"

The drums beat loudly, and the shouts of killing were everywhere.

The iron horses swept away, rolling up billowing smoke and dust, and the galloping war horses trampled on the earth and shook again and again.

Yan Xing took the lead with a spear in his hand, as if he was already the backbone of the three armies. As for Han Sui, he watched the army rush into the distance.

He has never been a charge-taker, and has always believed that only a wise man can have the last laugh.

……

Huang Zhong stared at the smoke-filled scene in front of him, constantly estimating the distance in his heart, and slowly raised his palm.

Until the tremors under his feet intensified, the enemy cavalry was already in range, and his palm fell suddenly.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The herald kept an eye on his movements, and waved the command flag as soon as possible, while shouting the command to release the arrow. In just a few breaths, orders were transmitted to all departments.

The crossbowmen had already drawn their bowstrings, and when they heard the command, they let go in unison, and a dense array of arrows flew diagonally into the sky, and after crossing an arc, they rained down again.

The first step, throw!

Some of the arrows missed, and the arrows were buried deep in the ground.

Some fell on the enemy's war horses and soldiers, mercilessly slaughtering a piece of fresh life, and for a while people turned on their backs, screaming endlessly, as if telling the ruthlessness of the battlefield.

However, Yan Xing and his soldiers had no way to retreat, and under this fierce momentum, retreating would result in faster death.

After the first row of crossbowmen released the first arrow, they did not continue to open their bows as usual, but retreated methodically, allowing the second-row crossbowmen who were already ready to fire to release their arrows.

This is followed by the third row, followed by an endless cycle.

Yan Xing soon discovered that the arrow array he faced today was different from the past, it seemed to be not as dense as before, but it was repeated and never stopped.

Such a change has caused even more heavy casualties on our side. Looking back, there were very few around him, forming a strong contrast with the dense formation in the rear.

As he got closer and closer to the enemy formation, he also saw clearly the enemy's equipment, which was far superior to theirs.

Yan Xing tightened the horse rope suddenly, and the strong inertia caused the front half of the war horse to rise high, and then his whole person and the war horse crossed the enemy's shield formation.

The spears swept away, and several enemy soldiers fell to the ground.

However, not everyone had the same superb horsemanship as him, and many more ended up slamming into their shields, falling to the ground along with the enemy, and then being stabbed to death by the enemy's indiscriminate guns.

As the first-line barrier of the armor-piercing army of a hundred battles, the shield array placed by Huang Zhong will naturally not be just that. When one shield soldier falls, a second one will soon be replaced.

Yan Xing was about to drive straight in, and it was obvious that a majestic enemy general suddenly appeared.

"Whoever comes, report the name!"

"Huang Zhong!"
