Ma Chao and pound led 6000 Xiliang iron cavalry to disperse the Yellow turban bandits who were attacking the city. For a moment, the pressure on the Han Army defending the city was greatly reduced, but the siege force of the Yellow turban bandits was extremely frustrated.
Xu and far away in the Chinese army to see the Xiliang cavalry in the army to and fro, can not help but be very angry.
"Zhou Su, you lead 30000 infantry to attack and destroy the enemy's cavalry!"
After a long time on the battlefield, Xu and his eyes are also fierce. At one glance, they can see the threat of Xiliang iron horse. As a mobile force, Xiliang iron cavalry remained outside the city, which was quite troublesome for the Yellow turban bandits to attack the city. It can be said that as long as the Xiliang iron cavalry can be eliminated, even if it is replaced by two, it will never suffer losses.
"No!"
Zhou Su pulled out the ring head knife and yelled: "follow me."
At Xu he's side, thirty thousand yellow turban thieves who did not go out immediately followed Zhou Su Shuai banner and marched forward rapidly.
Thirty thousand troopers were really extraordinary. They spread their wings like wild geese from both wings. They quickly surrounded 6000 Xiliang cavalry with strong troops. They were like a giant with open arms and wanted to smash 6000 Xiliang irons completely.
When Ma Chao saw this, he turned around and yelled, "the whole army will retreat, pull the bow and wind up!"
Hearing Ma Chao's order, the 6000 Xiliang iron cavalry immediately retreated, but instead of fighting the enemy, they retreated backward. Xiliang's steeds are all four legged, and their retreat speed is naturally very fast, and the steeds fly backward like a gust of wind.
Zhou Su frowned. If this group of Xiliang cavalry fought with his own real swords and guns, how could the 30000 army not help them.
"Hateful! The cowardless thief in Xiliang, if he has the ability, let's have a fight with gongs and drums. What's the ability to hide and hide? " Zhou Su exclaimed.
Ma Chao said with a smile: "well, in that case, it's up to you."
After that, Ma Chao ordered, "the whole army comes forward, ring fire!"
"No!"
Six thousand Xiliang iron cavalry yelled together, and the sound of shouting was like thunder. Then, only six thousand Xiliang iron horses galloped forward, and the horses trampled heavily on the earth, and the smoke and dust were everywhere. The momentum of the iron horse's charge was indeed very good.
Zhou Su did not dare to underestimate when he saw the Xiliang iron horse charging in front of him.
"The swordsman and the shield man are in front, and the Spearman is in the back, and they stand in line to block the enemy."
Hearing Zhou Su's order, the 30000 yellow turban army immediately formed a large shield in their hands, and a whole row of large shields immediately formed a uniform shield wall.
Behind the shield wall was a line of spearmen. The Yellow turban thieves who got the weapons of the officers and soldiers became the climate. This large array was quite deterrent.
However, just as the Xiliang iron horse entered a hundred paces, he suddenly bent his bow and let out an arrow.
Ride and shoot!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Six thousand arrows shot out from the sky, forming a dense rain curtain, covering thousands of yellow scarf thieves.
Search!
The sharp carving feather arrow passed through the gap between the shields, and with a strong force, it shot on the wrist of a Dao shield hand. The sword shield hand color was pale, and the big shield was thrown on the ground with a "ah" sound. The other hand held the wrist, and blood overflowed from between the fingers.
He left his shield on the ground, and the Yellow turban thieves behind him were in bad luck. The dense arrows fell like rain, and the screams among the Yellow turban thieves rose and fell one after another. In an instant, more than a thousand people were killed and injured.
Zhou Su looked angry: "hateful! Archers, where are archers? Shoot the arrow
The archers of the Yellow turban bandits quickly bent their bows to build their arrows, and thousands of arrows also flew out.
However, the 6000 Xiliang cavalry shot out with one arrow. They were not greedy for their merits and withdrew immediately. Almost all the archers' arrows of the Yellow turban thieves were shot on the open space, and the Xiliang iron cavalry, which turned to retreat, was splashed with smoke and dust.
Although there are a lot of archers of the Yellow turban thieves, they are not well trained and have limited accuracy. They only have a 60% hit rate when shooting stationary targets. When shooting high-speed moving targets, Xiliang iron cavalry retreated calmly.
However, Zhou's cavalry did not stop to shoot at the edge of the horse, but it was not covered by the sword.
"Surround the enemy, mount and shoot!"
Thousands of yellow turban thieves' archers can't help but ache in their shoulders when they shoot continuously. You should know that even the elite bowmen of the Han army who have been trained for a long time can only shoot a dozen arrows in a row. Naturally, these ungodly archers are even worse.
However, the Xiliang iron cavalry made a comeback. After hitting a hundred paces, they opened their bows again and shot again, causing more than 1000 casualties. However, Zhou Su was helpless.
Under the leadership of Ma Chao, Xiliang Tieqi was like a group of agile and agile hungry wolves, while the 30000 yellow turban thieves under Zhou Su's command were like a slow-moving yellow cattle. Although the yellow cattle were huge, they could not hold the wolves from time to time. The strength of the yellow cattle was gradually weakened.
Six thousand Xiliang iron cavalry surrounded 30000 yellow turban thieves, and from time to time they rushed forward to take a bite. One round of arrow was the death and injury of more than a thousand yellow turban thieves. Zhou Su was very angry."Damn Xiliang iron horse, no courage rat generation!"
Ma Chao stares at the array of yellow scarf thieves and suddenly has an idea in his mind.
"Brother Lingming, although the enemy is large in scale, the command level of the enemy generals is far inferior to that of the 30000 yellow turban thieves. They often have flaws. You lead three thousand cavalry to separate troops, you and our two armies around, the enemy must be more difficult to operate, then find the opportunity to seize the opportunity to enter, how about? "
Pound agreed: "well, let's show these yellow turban thieves the prestige of our Xiliang steeds."
After that, pound roared, and six thousand Xiliang iron horses split into two, followed Ma Chao and pound respectively. Three thousand iron horses roared out, and more than 20000 yellow turban thieves slipped around.
"Damn it! The whole army should make a round array of defense and strictly guard against being defensive. "
Seeing that the Xiliang cavalry suddenly separated and wandered around the formation, Zhou Su was greatly troubled. However, the mobility of the Xiliang cavalry was far beyond the infantry, and they could not directly send troops to pursue them. So they had to order the army to guard against it.
Pound and Ma Chao led an army around each other, and the Yellow turban thieves naturally had to react. However, when the Yellow turban thieves moved, they inevitably made mistakes, and many of them even collided with each other.
There was no modern way of communication in the ancient army, so a set of system of golden drum flag was derived. Beating the drum was to attack, Mingjin was to retreat, and the banner was a more complicated scheme to control the army.
The command level of a general depends on what level he can command.
