I'm Liu Bei.

It's better to come early than to come sooner.

Even if you are ambushed outside the city early, it is not necessarily appropriate.

As soon as I learned about the deployment of the Yellow Turban rebels from the mouth of the East Gate officials, Zhang Fei led the cavalry to kill outside the city. Isn't it God bless my big man?

Wang Lao Wu opened another door early, waiting for the cavalry to rush in.

The cavalry began to slow down as they approached the east gate. Zhang Fei rode onto the suspension bridge and jumped down: "The eldest brother has good skills, and he has earned the city gate and waited." ”

"Don't say more. There were only two thousand defenders in the city, and they must have heard the sound of horses' hooves by now. You quickly lead the troops into the city and leave a song. Remember not to disturb the people when you enter the city. I said eagerly.

"Jijun Hou, hurry up and listen to the order. Big brother rest assured, I'll go. Zhang Feiyue returned to his horse and led eight hundred horsemen to rush into the city with a shout. I saw that the knights were all in good spirits and galloping past me with high morale, and I seemed to feel the joy of their reconquest of lost territory.

The yellow turbans were in turmoil, and cities were lost and trapped, and they did not recover for more than a month. It has only been a few days since the fall of Yuxian, and tonight it will return to the rule of the Han Dynasty, how can it not be very exciting.

"Old Five, you go to meet the two departments of Zhongtun and Xiatun, and be sure to take them to Xicheng."

Wang Lao Wu was ordered to ride away.

A short young man trotted over and saluted me, "What do you command?" ”

"Are you the Marquis of Jijun?"

"Humble duties accumulate eternal preciousness."

"Quickly take your Qu people and horses, come with me!" As soon as he had finished speaking, and without waiting for him to react, I jumped on my horse, raised my long whip, and ran west along the moat.

Soon after the horse galloped, he saw that the gate of Xicheng was closed, and it seemed that the rebels of Xicheng had not yet come to the rescue. My hanging heart finally fell.

Through the high walls, you can still hear the shouts and tears inside.

"Marquis of Jijun, you lead one tun of cavalry to ambush on the right side of the west gate, and I lead another tun to ambush on the left side. As long as the Yellow Turban rebels come to the rescue, no matter how many people the enemy has, you and I will lead the army to kill together. Is it clear? ”

"Siege the city and send reinforcements, humble duty understands."

"Okay, let's go." I used this trick myself in a daze, but I didn't know it. It seems that my military qualities need to be improved.

The Marquis of Jijun led a tun of cavalry to lurk. I'm in a simple relationship with another tun chief (Eastern Han Dynasty military system: five people and one army, there is a military chief; Ten people have a tithe, and there are many longs; A team of 50 people, with a team rate; 100 people in a tun, there is a tun chief; Two hundred people in a song, there are military marquis; One for four hundred, with Sima. The five divisions are a battalion, that is, an independent combat unit, and the commander of the army is usually called a general or a lieutenant. After communicating, they ambushed on the left side, waiting for the arrival of the rebels in Xicheng.

"Will reinforcements from the West City come?" Deng Mao asked.

"Absolutely. Even if the rebel commander sees that this is a plan to attack the city and send reinforcements, he will still fight this hard field. Since ancient times, there has been no reason to see the fall of one's own city and not rescue it. Tun Chang analyzed carefully.

"He is worthy of being the head of the tun. Tell me how to use this siege plan. Deng Mao became interested and chased after the chief to find out the roots. Now it's an ambush, and you can't talk nonsense. It's just that I also want to hear about it, and by the way, I didn't come forward to stop it.

"Siege reinforcements are a special case of siege reinforcements. The task of siege and reinforcement is twofold, one is to attack the city, and the other is to send reinforcements. The forces for these two tasks are roughly comparable. There is only one task to encircle the point and send reinforcements, and that is to send reinforcements. Therefore, the number of troops used to besiege the city can be reduced, and the focus of troops can be put on reinforcements. ”

Combined with the current example, Zhang Sima led a heavy army to attack the city, striving to capture the city as soon as possible, and then put it into the battle for reinforcements. In addition, the middle and lower cantonment departments will arrive, so we can send a little less reinforcements here. "What the chief said is the way.

"Teachable, teachable." Deng Mao smiled and thanked him.

"Your own brother, you're welcome."

"Is the tun chief so knowledgeable, is he trained?" I asked curiously.

"Training? No. I only occasionally look at the "History Book" and "The Thirty-six Chapters of Sun Tzu". ”

Qiu Ming ran over: "My lord, there is movement in the west. ”

In the blink of an eye, there were rare stars flashing in front of us, and slowly the light became brighter and brighter, more and more, and it became a prairie fire.

"About two thousand infantry." Tun Chang said excitedly.

"How do you know that the number is two thousand, and why are you infantry?" I asked, confused. The rebels are still far away, how can they be so clearly distinguished?

"The army structure of the Yellow Turban Rebels is the same as that of my Han army, with a battalion of 2,000 men. Looking at the dense layers and scattered range of these torches, it looks like the scale of 2,000 people. Combining these two points, it can be concluded that the reinforcements at the front are 2,000 people. Judging by the speed at which the torches approached us, the speed was slightly faster than usual, but it was not enough to catch up with the speed of the cavalry, and it should be the infantry hurrying. ”

"Wonderful. Wonderful! I applauded. It provoked a look of confusion from them. Only then did I realize that there is no definition of applause in this era. swept away the embarrassment: "Summoning the whole song, purging the formation, don't make a loud noise." I'm going to catch them off guard! ”

The two thousand rebels were getting closer and closer, and under the dense torches, they could already see a large number of rebels hurrying forward, and the weapons in their hands were against the cold fire.

The rebels were already three hundred paces away.

"Assault!" I rushed ahead with my sword raised, and the shouts of killing suddenly broke out behind me.

The 2,000 rebels were frightened by the sudden shout, and when they found themselves in an ambush, they turned around and ran away like a tide. Suddenly the front turned into darkness again.

Soon the other horsemen overtook me, and they were far behind the horse. There was already a wail ahead.

"Rush!" I screamed, and rode hundreds of paces to catch up with a rebel who had slipped through the net. I was very excited, swung the knife diagonally from the bottom to the top, and swung the knife down with the momentum of the gallop forward, and the knife passed by, only to see a stream of viscous liquid spraying out. Because the horse was too fast, he didn't even get half a drop on his body. Because I could clearly see them retreating.

That blow almost knocked me off my horse. When slashing the enemy, I felt the force of a thousand catties from the hilt, and the knife seemed to be slashed on a big stone, which made my wrist hurt. Only then did I remember that I was holding an infantry knife in my hand, not a cavalryman's ring hand knife.

I rode in pursuit, and the earth retreated rapidly under the horses' hooves.

The wails coming from ahead had turned horrible and miserable.

Looking up, a large area of pitch black a hundred paces away was even darker than the gray night. After careful discernment, I was shocked!

Shield Wall!

An impregnable iron wall raised with infantry shields. Sitting cross-legged on the earth like a demon, everything around him is in the way, the gloom around him is used for it, and terror and darkness roam around.

What suddenly stabbed out and retracted between the shields was a long iron spear, like an iron thorn suddenly flashing on the wall, more like a demon's teeth, biting out the lives of the cavalry who rushed one by one, but still staring greedily at the cavalry in the distance.

This combination of shield and pikemen is the nemesis of the light cavalry.

The people turned on their backs, and the combat power of nearly 100 cavalry disappeared without a trace.

Surprised and resentful, he had to force the reins. The horse's head was suddenly high, its front hooves were hanging high, and it had lost its center of gravity under the forward rush. Even the man and the horse rolled on their side, fell heavily to the ground, and the moment they hung in the air, I seemed to see the ghost gate.

This overturn, like a car accident, made me feel dizzy, my mind was still in a state of panic oscillation, and I felt that the world was beginning to ethereal.

The sharp pain in my left arm suddenly woke me up.

"Phew!" I stumbled to my feet from the ground, stared at the shield wall thirty paces away, and spat out a mouthful of viscous liquid with bloody phlegm. Despite the pain in my arm and the blood oozing from the corner of my mouth, I couldn't help but grin evilly.

I love the pain, because dead people don't feel it.
