The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 229
"The Huns' offensive has slowed down..."

Zhang Yi's face was stern, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to see more clearly.

The military situation from the front line, as well as the Huns in his sight, let Zhang Yi discover the change of the Southern Huns.

And before that, he also saw that in the cavalry formation of the Southern Huns, one of the cavalry seemed to be dispatched to the south.

The south is Yong'an City, which was occupied by the Yellow Turban Army. Zhang Yi knew it all too well. After all, that was the place he was going to attack, and he couldn't get it wrong.

At this time, the Southern Huns sent a large number of cavalry to the south and slowed down their offensive. All this proved that there should be something in the south that could threaten them.

The only ones who could pose a threat to the Southern Huns in the south were the Yellow Turban Army in Yong'an City.

But the Yellow Turbans and the Han army were sworn enemies. Huangfusong and Guangzong in Xiaquyang built the "Jingguan" with the corpses of more than [-] Yellow Turbans.

The slogan shouted by the Yellow Turban Uprising was "Heaven is dead, Huangtian should stand", expressly wanting to take the Han Dynasty and replace it.

However, the Han Dynasty strictly prohibited the Yellow Turban Army and the Taiping Tao. Anyone who entered the Tao would have their clans wiped out, and they had no tolerance for it.

The two sides are in the same situation, how can there be a time to blend?
So in Zhang Yi's view, those "moth thieves" from Yong'an City had absolutely no reason to come to help.

Those despicable "moth thieves", those mobs, only wanted to reap the benefits of the fisherman when they fought fiercely with the Huns to the last moment.

However, some people from the Southern Huns did move to the south, and the dispatch of the trilogy was not fake.

The Han camp was surrounded by wilderness, stretching as far as the eye could see. Although some hilly areas to the south blocked the view, it was absolutely impossible for any ambushes to be buried.

What's more, the Huns invaded aggressively, and there was no need to plant any ambushes.

Like Xubu Guduhou, Zhang Yi also fell into confusion.

The Han army is now surrounded by groups, and the Huns' cavalry are staring at the wilderness around the camp, and there are constantly Hun tribes who want to rush into the Han army's camp.

Any Han army who wanted to escape from the camp could not escape the hands of the Huns.

At least on this vast plain, it is difficult to surpass the Xiongnu in terms of riding skills, let alone so many Huns, how could they allow the scouts of the Han army to go out to investigate.

Now the Han army is surrounded by the camp, and it is already a blind existence, and everything from the outside world is cut off by the Huns' cavalry.

……

It is indeed difficult to fight infantry against cavalry.

Only a tight military formation, such as locust arrow rain, can resist the impact of cavalry, or the threat of cavalry and shooting.

What is even more difficult is that when ten thousand horses are galloping together, under the sound of thunderous hooves, as well as the threat of weapons and death.

Facing the roaring iron cavalry, the infantry can still ensure that the army formation is strict, as immovable as a mountain, and persists in not retreating.

Only in this way can we resist the impact of cavalry, and in this way we can withstand the harassment of Hu cavalry.

This is the toughest test of an army's discipline and courage.

Fortunately, these soldiers under Xu An's command, these sharp fighters, they do not lack courage.

Whether it's Julu, Guangzong, Xiaquyang, or the Yellow Turban Army under Xu An's command.

They never lack courage.

Facing the Han army in sharp clothes, facing the famous generals in the world, even if the weapon in their hands is just a bamboo spear, a pair of farm tools, and they are only wearing a single piece of clothing, or they are naked from the upper body.

They still dare to rise up, and they still dare to fight in formation.

Part of it is for the belief in my heart, and more is for fighting for a way out in this chaotic world.

Now the Yellow Turban Army brought out by Xu An from Yong'an City is the elite of the three armies.

The soldiers battalion and sharp warrior battalion are well-trained and well-clothed, and the selected candidates are basically veterans who have experienced the invasion of Kuicheng and Shangdang.

The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army under Xu An's command today are very different from the Yellow Turban Army soldiers in the seventh year of Guanghe.

Basically, except for the Baibo Army, all the trilogy under Xu An's direct control have been trained by him.

And these training methods are Xu An's brainstorming, racking his brains, recalling the training methods of modern infantry that he has seen.

Combined with a part of the military training method found in the "Taiping Jing", the training method is concentrated and organized.

Coupled with the stricter military discipline, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army under Xu An's command were more like professional troops than farmers who had just laid down their weapons.

When an infantry unit has discipline and the courage to persevere in the face of cavalry roaring, then it has the strength to deal with cavalry units.

The continuous sound of horns, the sound of wooden whistles one after another, and the deafening sound of war drums echoed in the formation of the Yellow Turban Army.

When the Hu cavalry of the Southern Huns were within three miles of the Yellow Turban Army's formation, the Yellow Turban Army had already completed its formation.

The pawns and warriors holding tower shields stood in the front row and built a shield wall with tall tower shields.

The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army behind the shield stick out their halberds from the gap between the shields. At a glance, the entire formation of the Yellow Turban Army looks like a hedgehog, with sharp spikes to protect itself. .

Horses are animals, they also feel fear, they also feel pain, no matter how well-trained war horses are, they are also afraid of sharp objects and flames, unless they are blindfolded, they will never dare to charge like this.

Even if the horses are forced to rush forward, the cavalry will lose their biggest advantage-impact power.

In the face of cavalry and archery, infantry formations still have ways to counterattack. The range of infantry bows is far better than that of cavalry bows. What's more, although the Huns are good at archery, they don't have many strong bows.

On the contrary, the Han people with higher craftsman skills have more powerful bows and crossbows.

In addition to bringing the cavalry, military pawn battalion, and sharp warrior battalion, Xu An also brought [-] archers. These archers can launch counterattacks when the Huns are cavalry and shooting, and they will not be completely passive.

And now Xu An's military pawn battalion began to move closer to the requirements of Wei Guo's military pawns during the Warring States Period.

Xu An also consciously trained soldiers in the military camp to use bows and crossbows.

In fact, the territory Yixuan currently controls cannot maintain so many troops, so the policy of elite soldiers must be implemented.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan, successively occupied Jizhou, Qingzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou, unified Hebei, and made friends with the northern minorities, reaching the peak of his power.

But when he fought Cao Cao at Guandu, the number of troops he dispatched was only more than a hundred thousand.

In the records, although Cao Cao also occupied a lot of areas, the troops he invested in Guandu were only [-] to [-].

There are so many soldiers under Xu An's command. On the one hand, they are gathering bandits from all over the country, and on the other hand, the Yellow Turban Army did not subdivide the auxiliary soldiers too much.

Moreover, with the help of the income from the robbery of the bandits in the mountains, and the accumulation of the powerful family in Shangdang County for many years, they barely maintained so many soldiers under their command.

Another reason why Xu An chose to go out of the city to meet the enemy was that although he had never fought the Huns, he had a plan to attack Bingzhou, so he naturally knew something about the Southern Huns stationed in Bingzhou.

These Huns lacked solid armor, sharp weapons, and strong bows and crossbows.

Relying on the number of people, only the bravery honed in the harsh living environment, the riding skills honed from nomadic all year round, and the skillful shooting skills.

But these advantages of the Huns are almost better than nothing in front of Xu An's Yellow Turban soldiers.

With the cover of the tower shield, the counterattack of the infantry bow, and the cavalry led by Lu Bu and other Xiaoqi cavalry, the Yellow Turban Army, which was persistent and sharp, had more than [-] people, so why not be afraid of only [-] to [-] Hun cavalry.

What's more, the Huns had to allocate part of their minds to take care of the Han army led by Zhang Yi. The Yellow Turban Army had to face only some of the Huns, and the chances of winning were higher.

As for the Han army led by Zhang Yi, as long as Zhang Yi is in his normal mind and sees the Yellow Turbans coming to help, he will definitely not attack the Yellow Turbans for the time being. This kind of stupid thing of making wedding dresses for the Huns is beyond the reach of a normal person.

……

"The yellow scarves in Yong'an City, could it be that the whole army has been dispatched?!"

Bo Xigetu stopped his progress, and seeing the dense military formation not far away, the Yellow Turban Army formation that was slowly pressing down, felt his teeth ache, and couldn't help coming to the side The ranger who reported asked.

"It's at least ten thousand people." Bo Xigetu led the horse under his crotch, scanning the formation of the Yellow Turban Army. "Hou Xubugudu asked me to lead troops to intercept such an army, how could it be possible."

The formation of the Yellow Turban Army in front of them is extremely tight, and the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army are even more cunning. They guard the two wings of the Yellow Turban Army.

If there are Huns' rangers coming forward, these cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army will bully them very quickly and defeat the Huns' rangers who want to harass them.

When the Huns' rangers increased, they returned to the protection of the infantry formation.

Bo Xigetu stared at the formation of the Yellow Turban Army not far away, his face was extremely embarrassed, he called a few rangers and gave orders.

"Send a letter to the Marquis of Xubu Gudu to report the strength and appearance of the Yellow Turban Army, and the Yellow Turban Army in Yong'an City is only four miles away from the Han Army camp. I have more than [-] cavalry under my command, and it is impossible to defeat them. This Yellow Turban Army."

"Unless these Yellow Turbans are mighty-looking idiots, it will take at least [-] riders to defeat this Yellow Turban army."

The Xiongnu's cavalry galloped northward with Bo Xigetu's words.

Bo Xigetu also turned his head to look at the Yellow Turban Army's trilogy. He had to obey the order of Xu Buguduhou.

Moreover, he was also very emotional about the current situation. Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, was besieged by them with the main force of Taiyuan County. If he could kill Zhang Yi and annihilate the main force of the Bingzhou army, the hinterland of Bingzhou would be unprotected and within easy reach.

They have caught up with the golden opportunity given by God, how can they give up so easily.

The cities and towns where the Han people lived had innumerable properties and innumerable grains. That was the life that the Huns envied most.

And all of this can be achieved as long as the Han army led by Zhang Yi is wiped out.

How can others destroy such a good opportunity? Although I don't know why the Yellow Turban Army in Yong'an City attacked, but no matter what he said, Bo Xigetu had no reason to let the Yellow Turban Army continue to march north.

Bo Xigetu's eyes turned to the south again, to the Yellow Turban Army formation that was slowly pressing down.

"Blow the horn"

Bo Xigetu took his own lance from the hand of his entourage, and shouted an order.

Just when Bo Xigetu's black banner sounded the dull sound of the horn, the Huns' cavalry also sounded the continuous sound of the horn.

"drive!"

Bo Sigtu pointed the spear in his hand towards the low sky ahead, lightly drew it, and shouted loudly.

"Warriors of the Huns, win this battle!!! Win this battle for the Huns! After winning this battle, we will ride the horse to Taiyuan together!"

Bo Xigetu kicked the horse's belly lightly with both legs, and the horse under his crotch spread its hooves and trotted forward.

Behind him, countless Hun cavalry with their left lapels and furs as their armor and without their coats all screamed and let out terrifying shouts.

Under the leadership of Bo Xigetu, the huge cavalry formation of the Huns slowly swept forward from the top of the mound to the large formation of the Yellow Turban Army under the mound.

An eagle flew by, its sharp wings cutting through the floating clouds floating in the low sky.

In its hawk's eyes, a black wave composed of more than [-] Huns, row by row, swept forward like waves on the seashore.

Accompanied by the acceleration of the war horse, the originally calm sea waves gradually became turbulent, from waves to giant waves!

A huge cavalry formation composed of more than [-] Hun cavalry, crushed towards the formation of the Yellow Turban Army with overwhelming force.

The sound of heavy horseshoes was like thunder before a rainstorm.

Standing in the formation, Xu An watched the black waves sweeping over the mound in the distance, and even had the illusion that the ground under his feet was trembling.

The formation of the Yellow Turban Army also stagnated due to the Huns' invasion.

Bo Sigtu's eyes were cold, and he swung the lance in his hand horizontally.

The military flag waved, and the horn sounded again.

The Hun cavalry who followed Bo Xigetu turned in after hearing the order.

Two torrents of black cavalry, like an overturned flood rushing towards the building, rushed towards the two wings of the Yellow Turban Army's formation.

The Huns did not face the idea of ​​attacking the hedgehog-like formation of the Yellow Turban Army. They just wanted to entangle this army, which was almost all infantry, and create opportunities for their compatriots who were besieging the Han army camp.

"Rumble--"

The cavalry rushing into the formation brought the soldiers of the infantry formation. The greatest deterrent was the unparalleled visual impact brought by the galloping horses.

The shaking ground, roaring war horses, cavalry formations that can't be seen at a glance, sharp knives, and the threat of death are all within easy reach!

All of this tested and tormented the psychology of the infantrymen.

As long as there is one person in the army, or several people can't bear the pressure, they drop their weapons and run back.

It is possible to trigger a chain reaction, which will be devastating to the infantry phalanx. The disintegration of the soldiers will lead to the emergence of flaws in the tight military formation, causing the military formation to collapse without attack.

In the eyes of the cavalry, the infantry without the cover of the army formation is just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, without any threat.

But what the Huns faced was the elite Yellow Turban Army who came out from the battle of Kuicheng, the battle of Fenshui, and the bloody generals from the mountain of corpses.

Facing the powerful Hun cavalry, facing the black wave that swept across like an overwhelming mountain.

No one screamed out of fear, no one dropped their weapons out of fear, and no one turned and ran.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The tall Huangtian war drum was sounded by the warriors of the Yellow Turban Army.

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, the world is prosperous!!!"

After the sound of the drums, there was a shout like a mountain roar and a tsunami. It was the roar of countless Yellow Turban soldiers, and it was also the shout of countless Han men.

"Guan Zhongxiang Huan Gong, dominated the princes, ruled the world, and the people have received his gifts to this day. If Guan Zhong is small, I will wear my left skirt."
