The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 230 Flaws
"Ugh——"

The low sound of the horn sounded from the cavalry of the Huns.

The Hun cavalry roared like a tide, passing by the two wings of the Yellow Turban Army's formation.

The huge pressure affected the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army in the army formation, and it seemed that even the ground under their feet was shaking.

A fierce killing intent emanated from the cavalry of the Huns.

More than [-] Hun cavalry drove the war horses. With the hoofs of the horses moving, the huge Hun cavalry formation seemed to turn into a huge grassland eagle, spread its wings, and swooped down from the sky to catch the prey.

The place where the black banner of Bogeshitu is located is the sharp beak of the steppe eagle.

The desolate horn sounded again, like the shrill cry of a prairie eagle.

With a loud rumbling noise, the black wave swept across the formation of the Yellow Turban Army. Without the command of a general or leader, countless feathered arrows flew out of the formation of the Huns.

For a moment, both wings of the entire Yellow Turban Army were filled with bowstrings trembling, and the sound of feathered arrows whizzing through the air.

Dense bows and arrows fell from the sky, and those shield soldiers holding tall tower shields in the Yellow Turban Army formation firmly held the shields in their hands.

The shield soldiers in the first row erected their shields and hid behind them, while the soldiers in the second and third rows raised their shields high to block the top.

In the army formation of the Yellow Turban Army, countless soldiers leaned shoulder to shoulder, leaned tightly together, lowered their heads, hid their faces that were not covered by objects, protected them with helmets, and then hid together in the tall Under the tower shield.

The sound of jingling was endless, and the arrows of the Huns fell like a torrential rain, continuously and continuously.

From time to time, feathered arrows shot through the gaps in the tower shield and shot into the army formation.

Although most of the attacks were blocked by the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army and the armor worn by sharp soldiers, there were still some unlucky soldiers who were injured by some tricky feather arrows.

Riding and shooting has been engraved into the bones of the Huns, engraved in their blood.

In the era when there were no saddles and stirrups, most cavalry fought on foot. The two sides used horses to speed up their march and rush to the front of the enemy's formation, and then dismounted to fight on foot.

But these nomads, Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Qiang, lived in the grasslands since childhood, and they had to rely on war horses. They rode horses since childhood and lived as nomads.

Long-term life on horseback, they are exercising their riding skills all the time, their leg muscles/
It also allows their legs to have extremely strong strength to clamp the belly of the horse, thus freeing their hands to fight. As for riding and shooting, it is a general talent engraved in their blood.

Relying on horses, bows and arrows, they survived on the perilous grassland.

"Shoot the arrow!!!"

Behind the shield formation, the archers of the Yellow Turban Army waved down the command flag viciously.

"call out----"

With the loud and sharp wooden whistle.

A large number of feathered arrows were stimulated, and the locust-like rain of arrows swept up from the Yellow Turban Army's formation, and slammed down fiercely on the Huns who passed by the Yellow Turban Army's formation. and go.

"Puff puff!"

Suddenly, a group of people in the cavalry formed by Hu Qi of the Huns turned their backs on their backs.

How can the Hun cavalry, who only wear fur as their armor, be able to stop those Yellow Turban crossbowmen holding strong bows and crossbows in the Han army's arsenal in the Yellow Turban army formation.

The cracking sound of bones breaking, the sad hissing sound of the horse falling down, and the panicked shouting of the knight when he fell, all intertwined in an instant.

"Hoo--" "Hoo--"

A short wooden whistle sounded from the outermost formation of the Yellow Turban Army.

Those soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who hid behind the tower shield all untied the crossbows at their waists and wound them together.

After a few breaths, the short wooden whistle sounded again in the formation of the Yellow Turban Army.

"call out--"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Numerous crossbows were activated, and the crossbows shot straight into the cavalry formation of the Huns through the gaps between the tower shields.

It's just that the outermost cavalry of the Huns' cavalry formation was harassed by the rain of arrows in an instant. How could the arrows fired by the strong crossbow be defended by the armor made of fur?

……

"Ugh——"

The sound of the horn sounded, and the cavalry formation of the Huns began to change, and gradually distanced themselves from the formation of the Yellow Turban Army.

They have already judged the position and range of the Yellow Turban infantry archers, as well as the formation with crossbows.

The range of the walking bow is better than that of the riding bow, but it is just wishful thinking if this alone can defeat these nomads who live on horseback all the year round.

After hundreds, even thousands of years of fighting, both sides clearly know the other's attack and countermeasures.

Facing the phalanx of infantry and archers behind the shield wall, these Huns' cavalry would distance themselves.

Facing the crossbow machine behind the shield wall, ordinary Hun cavalry would choose to bypass it and shoot from a distance.

Try to avoid well-defended military formations and attack relatively weak military formations. After all, an army is rare and every military formation is indestructible and tenacious.

Xu An rode his horse and galloped between the formations of the Yellow Turban Army, checking the surrounding enemy situation.

The black banners of the Huns appeared around the formation of the Yellow Turban Army, almost forming a huge encirclement.

The horses galloped, and these Huns drew their bows and arrows on the fast galloping horses from time to time, and shot the arrows in their hands at the formation of the Yellow Turban Army.

They kept a distance from the infantry formation of the Yellow Turban Army as much as possible, and deliberately avoided the infantry formation of the Yellow Turban Army behind them.

The messengers galloped through the gaps between the Yellow Turban Army formations, and delivered military reports to Xu An.

Xu An looked up at the slightly westward sun, and calculated the time to arrive outside the Han army camp.

The performance of his soldiers was far better than he expected. Facing the rain of arrows from the Huns, there were not many casualties in the Yellow Turban army with tower shields for protection and bows and crossbows to fight back.

And it can continue to move north.

"There are still three miles. After crossing this hill, you can see the camp of the Han army."

"Pass down the order, stick to it for a quarter of an hour, and then continue northward."

Xu An drove the horse and walked towards the front.

The harassment of the Huns was much weaker than he expected. With the protection of the crossbows, the Huns could only seize the gaps and throw arrows at some army formations without the protection of the crossbows.

So he ordered to defend on the spot first, and wait for the soldiers under his command to become familiar with the tactics of the Huns before continuing to march north.

……

Bo Gexitu led the elite Hu cavalry under his command, and You Ge was in the cavalry formation. He stared at the orderly formation of the Yellow Turban Army, and his expression gradually became serious.

Although it was harassment, Bo Gexitu was also looking for the weakness of the Yellow Turban Army formation.

The nomadic tribes in the north often fought against the Han Empire, and they also encountered guest troops dispatched from the south.

Although some guest troops are well-trained, they rarely face cavalry, so sometimes fatal mistakes will occur.

Therefore, Bo Gexitu did not give up looking for the weak spots of the Yellow Turban Army while harassing them.

After all, if they can defeat the Yellow Turban Army, they will get a lot of armor and weapons.

This will undoubtedly greatly enhance the combat power of his subordinates, giving him greater voice and prestige.

It's just that no matter where the Huns of the Huns went, they couldn't find the breakthrough point of the Yellow Turban Army's formation.

Only when the Huns rode across the two wings at the beginning, these Yellow Turbans caused a little commotion in their army formation, and they never made any mistakes.

The Huns cavalry moved rapidly around the formation of the Yellow Turban Army, and from time to time, a large amount of arrow rain shot out from the formation of the Huns.

Bo Gexitu led dozens of personal followers and galloped to the right rear of the Yellow Turban Army formation. Just now he received a reply letter from Xubuguduhou.

Xubuguduhou sent him more than [-] cavalrymen, and asked him to delay the time for the Yellow Turbans to rush to the Han army camp until dusk.

As long as it is delayed until dusk, these Yellow Turban soldiers will have to turn back to Yong'an City, otherwise once the sun goes down, these Yellow Turban soldiers will definitely not even be able to return to Yong'an City.

"The Han rebel army is too strict, even worse than the Bingzhou army. It's hard to imagine how the Han defeated these rebels."

Bao Gexitu stared at the Yellow Turban Army formation standing like a rock in the distance under the harassment of countless cavalry, and couldn't help sighing.

……

The Huns' attack was like a storm, and the raindrops formed by countless arrows slapped on the shield wall of the Yellow Turban Army, causing ripples.

With the development of the battle situation, the casualties among the Yellow Turban Army gradually increased.

An army formation composed of elite soldiers from the Yellow Turban Army caught Bo Gexitu's attention.

There were about [-] people in that army formation, but they didn't have the crossbow machine behind the shield wall of the military camp, nor did they have the infantry archers behind the cover, so they couldn't effectively counter the Xiongnu's cavalry bow.

Therefore, this Yellow Turban army formation naturally suffered a key attack from the Huns, and just after the Huns attacked for more than a quarter of an hour, the casualties of this army formation increased sharply.

Bao Gexitu stood on a mound with his entourage, and he saw the abnormality of this Yellow Turban Army formation.

And the infantry archers of the Yellow Turban Army just behind the army formation here are rushing towards this army formation, as if they want reinforcements.

Bo Gexitu's eyes lit up, this is a good opportunity to attack!

"drive!"

Bao Gexitu gave a soft drink, kicked the horse's belly with both legs, and galloped forward.

The precarious formation of the Yellow Turban Army was not far from where he was, but only a hundred steps away!

The fighter plane was fleeting, and Bo Gexitu finally chose to try to launch an impact on it.

"Ugh——"

The low sound of the horn instantly spread throughout the left flank of the Huns.

Bo Gexitu whipped his whip down suddenly, the flag waved, and the horn sounded again.

The cavalry of the Huns began to move closer to the somewhat chaotic formation of the Yellow Turban Army, and the cavalry of the Huns on the periphery also began to rain arrows on the formations on both sides of the formation to suppress it.

The purpose is to provide a safer environment for the shock cavalry, and prevent the infantry on both sides from supporting the infantry in the central army formation. This is also an old trick of the Huns.

The Huns in other places also began to approach the Yellow Turban Army's formation frequently, attracting the attention of the Yellow Turban Army's infantry.

"Ugh——"

The horn sounded.

In the cavalry formation on the left wing of the Xiongnu, hundreds of cavalry rushed out suddenly, but the leading fifty or so cavalry were different from the ordinary Xiongnu herdsmen who wore fur as armor. They were all wearing this armor and holding lances.

These people were Bogexitu's trusted cavalry, who were sent by Bogexitu to lead the charge.

The iron armor on them is exactly the armor in the arsenal of Xihe County that was captured, and even the weapons are also the iron weapons that the Han army always has.

The short distance of dozens of steps came in a blink of an eye, and in an instant, the black banner of the Huns had already galloped to the chaotic formation of sharp soldiers, less than [-] steps away, and the bows in the hands of the Huns were also released. One arrow.

Just when the leading Xiongnu Baichang was full of ambition, he thought that he could easily break the Yellow Turban Army's formation.

The army formation here suddenly became more rigid, and countless tower shields instantly covered all the places where the Xiongnu's bows were attacking, and even halberds protruded from them.

In a blink of an eye, the Yellow Turban Army formation, which was full of flaws, has evolved into a hedgehog that can't bite.

"It's hit!"

The Hun's centurion was startled. He pulled his horse and wanted to pass by the front of the Yellow Turban Army.

But at this moment, a dense rain of arrows suddenly shot out from the formation of the Yellow Turban Army.

The Xiongnu Baichang's pupils suddenly dilated, and before he had time to think, he lowered his head and leaned on the saddle as much as possible, protecting the armored part of his body in front of the unarmored part.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft—"

A series of flesh-piercing sounds, the mournful cry of war horses, and the miserable howls of slander all rang in his ears at the same time.

"That's too late!"

The Baichang of the Xiongnu knew something was wrong, but with the galloping horses behind him, he couldn't retreat or move.

The Xiongnu cavalry in the front line also found something wrong just like the Xiongnu's hundred commanders, but now they had no choice but to act.

These skilled equestrian Huns made various postures on horseback to avoid crossbow arrows.

But even though the Huns were skilled in equestrianism, there were still so many crossbow arrows suddenly fired, some people were still shot, or the horses were overwhelmed and were shot over on the spot.

"kill!!!"

The hoarse cry of killing finally sounded in the cavalry of the Huns, and the last shower of arrows in the cavalry of the Huns also shot.

But with the cover of the tower shield, it did not cause too much damage to the Yellow Turban army in the army formation.

The raging black tide suddenly hit the khaki-colored rock, splashing countless blood-colored waves in an instant.

At this moment, the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army led by Lu Bu and Xu Huang also rushed from both sides to the place where the Huns cavalry charged.

The flaws in the army formation here were precisely Xu An's intentional disclosure to Bo Gexitu. This kind of trick is obviously useless against famous generals like Zhu Jun and Huangfusong.

But being used to deal with a straightforward general like Bo Gexitu, it is obviously effective.

In fact, Xu An was just trying to use this method to try to deceive the Huns.

But what Xu An didn't expect was that Bo Gexitu couldn't wait to bite the bait as soon as he put it down.

"call out----"

The sharp wooden whistle sounded on both sides of the Huns' cavalry.

Under Bao Gexitu's angry eyes, Lu Bu and Xu Huang led hundreds of heavily armed Yellow Turban cavalry to enter from both sides.

When Xu An went to battle here, he brought not only Lu Bu and Xu Huang, but also Bai Rao, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Gao Shun and other generals. Only Zhou Cang was left to guard Yong'an City.

Although the number of cavalry units of the Yellow Turban Army is much smaller than that of Hu Qi of the Huns, the quality is much higher than that of Du Shao.

With Lu Bu and Xu Huang as the front arrows, and eight generals Bai Rao and Gao Shun as assistants, the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army led by them were all sharpened and cut in from the flank of the Xiongnu cavalry formation.

Bao Gexitu was furious, he knew that the hundreds of cavalry he sent to charge had failed completely...
