Volume 1 Chapter 473 Rushing to Luoyang

As soon as Ye Qing gave the order, the military formation moved, the towering city walls in the north to keep out the cold and the enemy, the gloomy weather and the spiritual fog of the Dao Law were very good at shielding the reconnaissance, especially when Dong Zhuo lost the support of the Taiping Daoist priests, the original predicament had torn a ray of dawn.

The southeast wind rose, the flags fluttered, and the suits flickered in the moonlight.

The thick city gate opened slowly and silently, and the brigade of men and horses went out of the city silently, and after a short hidden march to Dong Zhuo's camp, Ye Huolei "boomed" through the camp wall, and launched a surprise attack signal.

Killing machines are everywhere, the rain of arrows in the sky, the sound of drawing knives and holding shields, the roar of people and horses, and the shouts of killing on both sides suddenly sound together.

"Ha Luha, big-eared thief, just now there is no regular message in the city, I know that you will come to attack at night" At this time, on a high platform, Dong Zhuo's laughter appeared in the night sky, as piercing as a night owl.

"Night attack, you are wrong" Ye Qing's eyes were calm, all kinds of orders were silent, and they were issued like flowing water, dispatching six thousand red armor cavalry from the headquarters, five thousand Jizhou cavalry, and eight thousand cavalry from the newly annexed princes, with a total of 30,000 cavalry, like a black iron stream under the moonlight, and the cold light flowed piece by piece.

Equipped with the major factories in Yuzhou to manufacture bright armor, steel sabers, as well as a batch of the best riding crossbows selected from the arsenals of various states, just in terms of equipment, except for the infantry rhubarb crossbow, it is the first of the essence of the whole army, and it can also be said to be the crown of cavalry at this time

"I have always relied on strength, and I vow to remove all obstacles"

"I order, charge...... "If it was an unnatural world, Ye Qing would never do this, but this world, the world is getting closer and closer to the Dao Law Manifestation, and now ascending to the Temple of Heaven, inheriting part of the mandate of heaven, and inheriting the emperor of the Han dynasty is the most important thing."

At this time, Qianqian stretched out her hand.

"Boom" hundreds of cyan long vines across the kilometer, straight down a large area of cavalry, clear a bloody path that is neither wide nor narrow, in the case that the enemy cannot compete with Taoism, the real battlefield lethality is undoubtedly revealed

Guo Yan was shocked, and was anxious to avoid it under the escort of his personal guards and a small number of Taoist priests.

"Dong Zhuo isn't here? I thought it was brought over. Ye Qing had a slight regret, and reconfirmed the distribution of the Xiliang Army's troops from Qianqian's secret message, and waved his sword to the west: "Kill"

According to the plan, each cavalry detachment of 1,000 men led by each general fired with a crossbow, supplemented by a rush into formation.

Dumping the maximum firepower in a short period of time, this is the norm in the earth war, but now it can only be used by the army during the heyday of the Han Dynasty, and even in recent decades, the national strength has withered and gradually cannot be used, and it suddenly erupts to make everyone frightened - it turns out that this is the ferocity of the Han family elite rider who walked alone in the Northern Desert back then?

This is immediately followed by the first wave, followed by the second, third, and fourth waves...... Each wave of the charge was accompanied by a rain of arrows like a blizzard, and the crossbows were used to disorient the enemy and the spears to open the way.

"Kill" Zhao Yun led the cavalry to charge, he clearly felt the urgency of the lord, and he had an understanding for it

"Boom" A huge spirit, transmitted from the night sky, a moment of coercion, almost suffocating the enemy in front.

"Kill, open the way for my lord. "In the sound of the horse's hooves, the great tremors trembled, and in the dim starlight, the vague outline exuded an indescribable murderous intent.

This is when Lu Bu once dominated the world and won a hundred battles, and at this time, it was Zhao Yun who used it.

The spear in his hand shattered the air blocking in front of him, and a sharp whistling enveloped the vicinity, only a muffled sound, and the intercepted enemy soldiers were immediately splashed with flesh and blood.

The screams, the muffled sound of a sword piercing into a human body, the sound of blood splattering...... For a while, on the battlefield, thousands of soldiers suddenly slowed down and entered Zhao Yun's heart.

The movements of everyone in a radius of tens of meters were analyzed one by one, and there was no hiding the past.

"Killing" Zhao Yun passed through the enemy formation, and with every action, a soldier was killed, blood splattered, and it was simply a massacre......

"Have you reached the level of the Battle of Changbanpo in the Romance?" Ye Qing thought secretly, whipped hard, and laughed loudly: "Dong thief, I don't need you to send it." ”

30,000 horsemen broke through the so-called ambush and disappeared into the night in the west in an instant.

That's the direction of Luoyang...... His target is still Luoyang

Dong Zhuo saw it in the main magic circle, and his heart sank.

"It's been a quarter of an hour, why haven't the two Taoist groups in the east been there?" he held back his anger and fear, and looked back and urged loudly that there were only a few Taoist priests left.

"The golden light just now sealed the retreat, and the official road was deliberately blocked by the Liu thief's camp, and the two Taoist priests in the east did not dare to rush to the camp at night...... Still haven't heard back. ”

Several Taoist priests were sweating, thinking that if Liu Bei dared to go out of the city, he would definitely be cleared of internal troubles and all dead...... There are five real people there, and even one Yin God real person

Dong Zhuo also thought of this, his face was pale, he glanced at the generals who bowed their heads, and forcibly endured a burst of anger in his heart: "It's all plains here, the cavalry will go around me and bite it, block it in front and intercept it in the back, and force it left and right, and it will not be allowed to rest, but it will make the army tired."

"Whoever dares to stay in front of the battle, cut it"

Li Xuan and Guo Yan were knocked down, and they were defeated generals who escaped from the tiger prison, and at this time, they could only take the order hard, and the cavalry soon poured out.

"Wen You, prepare to pull out the camp tomorrow morning and cooperate with the magician group to kill Ye Qing...... At least destroy this elite, before reaching Luoyang City"

"Obey" Li Ru's face was a little weak, but he still went down to make arrangements.

The Taiping Taoist group headed by Yin Shen Zhenren was exterminated beyond everyone's expectations, and lost most of the Taoist power, the most critical loss was not the power itself, but the battlefield command system was incomplete, only a few Taoist priests were arranged to maintain it in the lineage of the pro-army, the defense was more than enough, and the offense was actually insufficient.

The preparation for this hurried response was not so much an ambush, but rather a delay in the defense of the danger until the two magicians of Cao Sun and Sun had reached the siege of the occasion, trying to attack Liu Jun's light cavalry adventure, but unfortunately Liu Da'er seemed to see that his army's attack was insufficient and did not move lightly, and he did not stay at all, and did not try to attack and kill Dong Taishi at all.

This made Li Ru feel uncomfortable with a punch again, and a sense of discouragement appeared in his heart, and he suddenly ...... This feeling is a taboo for strategists, how can it appear?

Li Ru felt full of disgust, walked behind a military tent, coughed, let go of the hand he was holding, and saw the blood on his hand, and suddenly stood in the shadow of the military tent, and his heart was bleak for a while.

Is this a backlash?

It is already in the small plain of Luoyang, two hundred miles of vast fields in the moonlight, and in the long-term drought looks gray, only a small number of crops yellow-green embellishment, under the moonlight faded bright color, all the changes are divided into light and dark, which makes any military movement of the enemy very conspicuous.

At this time, I saw several Xiliang cavalry secretly outflanking from more than ten miles away, trying to break through the crossbow array of the Liu family army on the side, and this movement was immediately reported to Ye Qing by Qianqian.

When the firelight was a little closer to ten miles, Huang Zhong stared at those cavalrymen, and with the eyesight of a real person in the archery, he could distinguish Zuo Zhen's clothes and strange shaving: "That's the Qiang cavalry"

Guan Yu frowned when he heard this: "Dong Zhuo's core is still the pro-army iron cavalry, there were originally six thousand for the lord to cut in half, and it was gradually saved back to five thousand in the past two years, but there are many cavalry temporarily recruited among the hundreds of Qiang tribes who moved to the Chang'an area, and they have no experience in the combat of large legions, only a brave spirit." ”

The main body of the Xiliang cavalry is the traditional light cavalry of the Hu cavalry, and the Hu cavalry has another name called "control string", the Xiongnu country of that year was known as the control of the string million, and was completely destroyed by the former Han and the Later Han Dynasty two major blows.

Due to the high cost, the number of armored cavalry in each army is very small, and they are used as a key assault force, even the traditional light cavalry of the Han family is also equipped with crossbows and swords and guns, and one of the usual tactics is to ride a crossbow and shoot arrows to disrupt the enemy before attacking.

Hu Qi obtained a good crossbow made by the Han Dynasty, compared to the original simple bow and arrow, it is a shotgun for a cannon, but it also depends on who is the opponent, Ye Qingqian's army formed an arrow array with 20,000 big yellow crossbows to gather fire and rush forward, and the natural range disadvantage of riding a crossbow is even more obvious, even the most brave Qiang soldiers in it do not dare to hit head-on, they can only go around the side to seek flaws.

Ye Qingzhi said that this kind of archery cavalry is a tradition of the Han and Qiang systems, from the Qin Empire's mounted crossbowmen with hundreds of thousands of group firepower (similar to the dragoons of the musket era to dismount and shoot on foot, and the horses were only used as a means of rapid maneuvering for long-range firepower), to the later Mongol cavalry.

It's not that the heavy cavalry is not easy to use, in terms of tactics, the light cavalry with a crossbow or a bow can ensure the attack power and mobility, and when encountering the so-called iron can, directly go around a few circles to consume the physical strength of the people and horses, and then go forward to shoot the heavy crossbow, with the power of the Han crossbow or compound bow more than ten steps under any heavy armor is dangerous, but this is only an extreme hypothetical situation, and the actual use of the impact advantage of the heavy cavalry is the norm.

Strategically speaking, it is another situation, since the development of the Loess Plateau, a unique fertile virgin land, the Han and Qiang manpower and manufacturing resources are too abundant, and the 'cross bow, (that is, the heavy crossbow) used by the West as a forbidden weapon is made without money, in the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of group wars, cost is king, the number crushes everything, there is no room for heavy cavalry to play in the large-scale earthen fortifications, and the local restraint in the group charge offensive rarely affects the overall situation. This makes elite such as the heavy cavalry the icing on the cake rather than a blessing in disguise.

"They're coming. Qianqian's divine sense spanned more than ten miles of the battlefield, smoothly dispatched, and dozens of magicians rushed to the past.

Fortunately, most of the 30,000 Xiliang cavalry from Gongxian were not good at shooting, and it was a clumsy plan to face the extremely high armor rate of their own army in the same shot.

But they have the advantage of horsepower, this kind of cavalry has been very fast at a steady trot, but it is still slightly inferior to the Xiliang horse, and after advancing for more than ten miles in the middle of the night, it was finally caught up and began to receive fire.

From the first wave of arrows covering each other, a huge collision erupted.

At this time, under the moonlight, the bright red torches spread like dragons, showing a complex entanglement of several, dozen, or even dozens of fire dragons on the dark earth, only to see that hundreds of thousands of red lights would be annihilated by each other in each fierce entanglement of fire dragons, which were the cavalry of the two armies that were killed or fallen from their horses, but no one dared to look back at this time.

The 30,000 cavalry is moving westward with an irresistible momentum...... And a large number of enemy cavalry also followed closely and entangled, with twice the strength advantage of the front blockade, attacking and blocking on both sides, but they all melted like snow under the rain of arrows like splashing water, and almost failed to hinder the speed of Ye Qing's westward advance.
