Chapter 019: Cavalry Counterattack

I'm Liu Bei.

In the early morning of the next day, he and Zhang Fei went to the training ground a mile away to inspect the cavalry of Group A.

After reviewing it for a long time, it came to the conclusion that both riding and marksmanship were third-rate, and they were simply peasants on horseback. And because Guan Yu doesn't understand the formation (let's talk about it first, so as not to be scolded.) Guan Yu doesn't understand it now, because Guan Yu was equivalent to a ranger before, and he didn't learn anything like a war such as formations. However, then it turned out. From whom did you learn it? Let's sell it first. So they don't have any discipline at all. Three hundred cavalry rampaged through the empty training ground, but not a single one was knocked off their horses. That's the only thing that comforts me a little.

Then again, they can't be blamed for that. In less than a month, it is indeed difficult to practice the effect. Perhaps, it will be better for Ma Chao and Zhao Yun to train. Alas, it's a pity that they don't know when they will appear.

"Big brother, I don't think this cavalry wants to, it's better to let them dismount." Zhang Fei said dissatisfiedly.

"Dismount? They practice riding on weekdays, but now that they get off the horse, they can't find the north. I said with a bit of sarcasm. The war is urgent, and I can't think about it too much. "Third brother, assemble. In this situation, it is impossible to give full play to the cavalry's high mobility combat power, let alone prevent the Yellow Turbans from collecting food everywhere. ”

"Just go back like that? Don't you have to face a siege when you go back to the city? Zhang Fei said.

"Surround it. I can't wait for these 300 cavalry to die, can I? Look at them like this, can they beat the infantry? My words made Zhang Fei dumb.

"Assemble and go back to the city at once." I said. Zhang Fei immediately gathered all the cavalry of Team A and galloped towards the county seat together. Zhang Fei rode a fast horse with me and took the lead.

Sitting behind Zhang Fei, he couldn't help but look at the third brother's house from afar, and there seemed to be a person at the door looking this way. It could be her, or maybe it wasn't. My heart ached slightly.

The love of children is long, the hero is short of breath, and I don't want to think about it.

In the past half a moment or so, there are only five miles away from the county seat. I could faintly hear the shouts ahead. Feeling that something was wrong, he ordered the troops to rest in place. Zhang Fei rode his horse and rushed to the front to investigate.

I sat down and chatted with the knights. A young man asked how Team C was doing. I can't answer. patted him on the shoulder and said expressionlessly: "In the county seat." ”

"That's good, this time I have to see if my brother has made a great contribution." The young man said happily.

Listening to his words, my heart didn't know what was wrong, it was uncomfortable. I don't know if his brother is still there. A few days ago, 300 members of Team C went out with me in high spirits, but now there are only 30 people left. This time, I took Team A on the expedition again, and I really don't know what the result will be. I don't dare to think about it, because I am very unconfident in my own ability. However, I had to face it, and only by facing it could I hope to defeat the Yellow Turban rebels.

Just as I was in a reverie, a horse flew in. It's Zhang Fei!

"The Yellow Turban Thieves are attacking the South City Gate, let's kill them and give these puppies a surprise attack!" Zhang Fei's face was full of excitement, and according to his meaning, he would definitely be able to relieve the siege of the county. However, this time the siege has been lifted, and tomorrow the city will be attacked again, what will we do to break the siege? If you can raid this time, you may not be able to do it next time. Cheng Yuanzhi is by no means easy to deal with. Only by defeating Cheng Yuanzhi can the siege of the county be solved.

"The rebels are attacking in a hurry, and it seems that they will not stop if they don't take the county seat today." Zhang Fei shouted anxiously.

"Is it really urgent? How do you know? ”

"I ran to the front and dismounted, climbed up the tree, and saw the rebels piling up under the city. The ladder and the car were used together. ”

It seems that Cheng Yuanzhi is in a hurry. The captured city was taken back by our army, and he was naturally very angry. ”

"Regardless of whether the bird thief is angry or not, we will kill the past, unscrew his bird head to avenge the blood hatred of the brothers." Zhang Fei became more and more angry.

"Cheng Yuanzhi is in such a hurry to attack the county seat, is there another factor in it?" I lowered my head, squatted down and drew on the ground with stones the offensive route of the Yellow Turban rebels and the layout of the Han army.

Today is the fourth day, and if Captain Zou is true to his word, he should have arranged fortifications in Jixian County (Youzhou Zhishuo). From Jixian County to Zhuo County, it is a quick horse whip back and forth, which is exactly half a day (three hours). It's been six hours since we recaptured the county. In other words, Captain Zou has already learned the news of the recapture of the county seat in Jixian County, and may be leading the army to come to the rescue. Cheng Yuanzhi may have known about it. Therefore, he had to step up the siege of the city, wanting to take the county seat before the reinforcements arrived.

I threw the stone on the ground, stood up and laughed, "It must be like this!" ”

Zhang Fei and the knights looked at me suspiciously.

Wan Er smiled and said, "Everyone, Captain Zou's tens of thousands of reinforcements are about to arrive. Hearing my words, all the soldiers showed excited expressions. In fact, I don't know if it's tens of thousands, or maybe thousands, but if I don't say a little more, how can I arouse their fighting spirit.

"Third brother, you lead Team A to make a big circle from the east and launch an offensive on the eastern flank of the rebels."

Zhang Fei asked, "Wouldn't it be better to sneak attack from behind?" ”

"It's good to sneak up from behind. However, you will have to face a counterattack by the rebel infantry, and we will not be able to take advantage of the cavalry due to our small numbers. ”

Where there are few people and can't play, it's our cavalry that can't do it, but this can't be said.

"Launching an attack from the east side, Cheng Yuanzhi must have thought that Captain Zou's vanguard had arrived, and he definitely had no intention of fighting, so he fled with his horse." Zhang Fei listened happily and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I promise to unscrew his bird's head and come back." ”

"Remember, don't show up out of nowhere. Give them some time to organize a retreat, just make them mistakenly think that reinforcements have arrived. And then only then chase after them, and they will definitely be able to kill them without leaving a piece of armor. ”

Zhang Fei led three hundred cavalry to go. I was alone looking for a place to hide. Finally, finding a good spot in a small wood, I lay on a branch three feet above the ground. It can not only see the movements of the rebel army under the city ahead, but also hide it.

Keep an eye on the rebels. About half an hour later, the rebels' offensive against Nancheng suddenly decreased sharply, and at the same time, the rebels on the western flank began to retreat to the southwest in an orderly manner. This was followed only by the retreat of the Central Army, followed by the retreat of the Eastern Left Wing. There was no order to be found when the left flank retreated, and I guess it was Cheng Yuanzhi who withdrew with the Chinese army, and there was no overseer in the army, so these peasants were so disorderly.

Without the supervision of the commander, the traitors on the left flank rushed to escape first, and even broke up the orderly Chinese army. Seeing that there was an opportunity, Zhang Fei led Team A to follow closely behind and desperately slashed and killed the Yellow Turban traitors who fell behind.
