Chapter 48: Youzhou

"Zhongkang doesn't need to be polite, it's a matter of royalty, so you have to be cautious. ”

Seeing Xu Yu bowing, Xu Ming helped up with both hands, and after a sigh of relief, his eyes were condensed, and he said loudly: "Now that the Son of Heaven is being coerced, I can't wait to clear the king's side, but unfortunately the wings of the power are not yet full, and there is a lack of overlords and fierce generals like Xu Zhuangshi, I don't know if the strong man is willing to join forces to fight for a marquis!"

"Make you wise, and you won't be effective!"

This is a troubled time, Xu Yu, who has learned a martial arts, has long wanted to be born, but unfortunately he doesn't know who to assist.

The so-called learning of literature and martial arts, selling goods to the emperor's family, and worshipping the generals, which martial artist does not want to!

......

The days have passed in a blink of an eye.

A team of 2,000 horsemen, like Ma Long, galloped on the border of Youzhou.

"No wonder any big force values the world!"

Xu Ming, who was at the front end of the cavalry, swept over Xu Yu on the left side with the afterglow in his eyes, thinking secretly in his heart.

got the care of the Xu family, and directly matched Xu Zhen's five hundred clansmen, together with Xu Ming, not because he had killed Liu Pi and Gong Du before, and he had a lot of horses, but the war horses alone were not enough for everyone to ride.

This is the power of the family, almost all of them have private soldiers, and they have a lot of money, no matter who is powerful, even the royal family, will not despise the existence of the family.

Youzhou, Gongsun Zhan's office.

"General, Liu He's subordinate Huang An has led two thousand cavalry into the territory of Youzhou!"

Tian Kai, the chief strategist, reported to Gongsun Zhan.

"Hmph, Liu Yu doesn't understand military affairs, he will only cause trouble!"

Hearing Tian Kai's words, Gongsun Zan snorted angrily, his expression was solemn, but it was Yuan Shu who sent someone to come quickly, and he actually held a letter from Liu He, the son of Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou, saying that he wanted Liu Yu to send troops to Yuan Shu to welcome the return of the Son of Heaven.

With such a stealing technique, Liu Yu actually moved and allowed Yuan Shu's envoy to go with thousands of cavalry, but he didn't know that the Son of Heaven was trapped in the hands of Dong Zhuo in Chang'an, how could it be so easy to rescue, Yuan Shu's move was just to steal the Youzhou cavalry.

However, thinking that Huang An, under Liu He's command, actually led the army here alone, once he saw Liu Yu, he was afraid that he would become Liu Yu's subordinate general, and he would oppose himself, so he was cold between his eyebrows at the moment, and he shouted in a deep voice.

"The left army is out and eats them!"

As the warlike Gongsun Zhan who hated the Hu people, his top official Liu Yu was the top Huaihe faction in internal affairs, and he easily separated the Hu people and attached them to the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, Liu Yu controlled Gongsun Zan even more, and only allowed him 10,000 soldiers and horses to defend the prefecture.

However, Gongsun Zhan, who is good at fighting, secretly cultivates strength, although limited to financial and material resources, the left and right armies are each 5,000 cavalry, but there are many fights with the Hu people, which can not be compared with the army that rarely sees blood in the Central Plains.

"Yes, General!"

Seeing that Gongsun Chan's mind had been decided, Tian Kai responded, and then retreated, as Gongsun Chan's henchman, Tian Kai naturally would not object, not to mention, getting rid of the future enemy in advance is a good move.

......

The horse's hooves are galloping, and the flag is flying.

"General, there are thousands of ambushes buried at the ten-mile crossing ahead!"

In the distance, a fast horse came to meet the army, and near Xu Ming and others, he hurriedly reported.

"Stop!"

Hearing the report of the scouts, Xu Ming frowned, he never thought that the territory of Youzhou, someone dared to ambush the soldiers, you know, with a lineup of 2,000 cavalry, Xu Ming's army went all the way to this point, but there was no bandit village along the way who dared to show up.

Knowing that there must be a reason for something, Xu Ming did not slack off, raised his arms and waved his hand, and ordered the army to be stopped.

"Ritsu!"

After hard training along the way, the riding skills of the two thousand soldiers have improved, and there was a neighing of war horses, but after more than ten breaths, the whole team quickly and completely stopped.

Trample!

Stompe!

Not long after, an imposing cavalry team appeared in the distant sky, obviously knowing that its deeds were exposed, and no longer hiding, it rushed directly to kill.

"Prepare for the Dread!"

Seeing the extraordinary momentum of thousands of cavalry, Xu Ming's face changed slightly, his heart was awe-inspiring, and he gave an order in a deep voice.

"Eight hundred giant shields are out!"

In the next moment, two thousand soldiers moved in unison and took the lead in blocking the horse's ears, among which eight hundred sturdy soldiers, equipped with machetes at their waists, took off the giant hardwood and iron shields on the horseback, and knotted each other's shields, forming a shield array that covered the sky and blocked the front of them.

"The rest of the arrows are a hundred steps back!"

Seeing that the shield array was formed, Xu Ming shouted an order, and led Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and others to drive the horse back.

The tiger idiot Xu Yu led 800 sword and axe men in front, and 1,200 archers and cavalry in the rear, quietly waiting for the arrival of thousands of cavalry troops.

"Kill ......"

"Kill!"

With 2,000 separate steps and cavalry steps, against 5,000 elite cavalry steps, this is almost a battle with no suspense at all.

When the commander of the left army saw Xu Ming separating the cavalry and infantry, he secretly said stupidity in his heart, where to put it in his eyes, and directly ordered all the cavalry to move forward, wanting to rely on the impact advantage of the cavalry to crush the enemy in one wave.

"Bow down!"

Looking at the galloping momentum of 10,000 horses, Xu Yu ordered 800 sword and axe men to bow down and hold their shields, and the invading cavalry all held bows and arrows, apparently proficient in horse archery.

Two hundred steps.

One hundred and fifty steps.

One hundred steps.

"Buzz ......"

In a trance, a rain of arrows shot down, nailing the soldiers in front of them.

Chemical element!

Doo!

In an instant, arrows like raindrops struck the army's shield array.

Occasionally, there are strong arrows in the seams, stabbing the strong men behind the shield, but no one screams in pain, these 800 sword and shield bearers are all elites born under the harsh military law.

Eighty steps.

Fifty paces, the cavalry gradually approached.

"Roar!"

About thirty steps to the front army, Xu Yu gave an order, and all the eight hundred sword and shield soldiers got up and roared suddenly.

How strong is the voice of a loud voice, how strong is the hoarse shout of ten, hundred, eight hundred elite strong men, it is like a muffled thunder and a sharp sound, and the ground explodes, shocking the enemy's war horses!

Law!

Ril, lil!

Although the war horse has been trained, the horse has always been sensitive to hearing, and when has it heard the roar of nearly a thousand people together.

In an instant, the horses that rushed in front of them were frightened, and they stopped their speed violently, and then retreated in fear, wanting to leave the fierce place where the terrifying sound source in front of them was.

However, the cavalry group that was charging forward at full speed could not stop when they said they would stop, and retreat when they said they would retreat, and regardless of the soldiers who were thrown off their horses and dismounted, the situation of the cavalry colliding with each other was even more serious than the tragic series of car accidents.

Because, this is the way of half a thousand cavalry charges.

"Shoot!"

I don't know when, the cavalry a hundred paces away behind the sword and shield soldiers has come to help, and under Xu Ming's order, they all loosen their strings.

Although most of the soldiers only recently got the longbow that Xu Ming had put together, under the same throw, there was no need for the head at all, and the dense iron arrows were the best attack formation.

Sou!

Whoosh!

The front troops, which had been frightened and stagnant by their horses, were attacked by longbow throws, and the situation was even more severe, and the enemy troops who arrived first were almost wiped out in one fell swoop.

All of a sudden, the battlefield was filled with the wailing of war horses, the cavalry suffered countless casualties, and a small number of cavalry rushed to Xu Yu's array against the rain of arrows, but the horse's feet were cut off by the axe hand, or the head was cut off.
