I have Futian in my heart

Chapter 817 Fierce Battle in Wan City

Many rout soldiers outside also ran to the gate of the camp, crying and wanting to enter the camp.

However, with some luck, they fled outside the camp with Zheng Xiaoming's team, and now it is impossible for those who escaped to enter the camp.

Zheng Xiaoming sent crossbowmen to force the defeated soldiers to regroup outside the camp and prepare for battle.

This is not his public revenge, but Qin Jie's order.

The reason is also very simple, because at this time, the Yellow Turbans have already defeated all the private soldiers outside, and their attention has begun to turn to the camp.

If you open the door at this time, it will be terrible if the Yellow Turban takes the opportunity to rush in!
And as long as they can hold the big camp, Zhu Jun's troops in the north city and Xu Jiao's troops in the southeast will come to help soon.

The strength of the army commanded by these two men is far stronger than that of Qin Jie!
Zhu Jun defeated the Bocai tribe of the Yellow Turban bandit in Yingchuan and other places, his reputation shook the world, and he was named a Marquis.

And don't look at the governor of Jingzhou, Xu Qiu, who seems to have little reputation in later generations, but it is not.He came from a proper family of generals, and his father, Xu Shu, was a general of the Liao Dynasty, and the repressive ministries in western Liao did not dare to violate the border.

In this era, all kinds of knowledge are hidden in one's own family, and they are unwilling to spread it.Those general families also took a look, all kinds of marching and fighting skills were passed down from family, and they were learned from childhood.

Don't think that he is the governor of Jingzhou, just think that he is a civil servant!

But having said that, the Han Dynasty paid attention to the generals and the ministers, and the division between civil and military officials was not very obvious.

It's not like the late Ming Dynasty, those civilian officials commanded the army, and they had a good view of the overall situation, but their real ability to command the troops was terrible.

Starting from Sun Chuanting, he only knew how to blindly build a city and defend it to the death. He didn't understand the truth that if you defend for a long time, you will lose, and it was a waste of national power.It is a virtue with those civil servants in command of the Northern Song Dynasty.Well, later on, a certain sage Zeng Shaved his head also got the essence of it, the so-called hard fighting is also true!Then there was the siege of Chang Baldhead, who had once shaved his head...

This governor Xu Yu is still very capable and upright.The former Nanyang prefect and Zhang Zhong, the nephew of Empress Dowager Dong, were all overthrown.That fellow took bribes in Nanyang and made hundreds of millions of dollars in just a few years.

In short, that Xu Qiu really did not live up to expectations.Zheng Xiaoming's side was still threatening to regroup the soldiers and horses that retreated outside the camp.

Suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes like thunder, a Han family cavalry came from the southeast, like a dragon, charged straight at the yellow scarf elite soldiers.

Although the number of this cavalry is not many, only two hundred, they are really well equipped. Although they are not iron cavalry in horse harness from the Han Imperial Army, they are also quite brave and brave.

Most of them are Han children from the north, and there are also many barbarians from the border areas.Now under Xu Wei's command, it can also be called an ace army.

At this time, there were not enough saddles, and there were very few elite cavalry who could fight on horseback.

However, these people are the rare elite who can really charge immediately, not the kind of mounted infantry on horseback.

At this time, he suddenly appeared and rushed to kill the elite yellow turban soldiers from behind.

If these elite yellow turban soldiers could form a formation, they would not be afraid of the cavalry rushing to kill them.

But these yellow turban elite soldiers have not received much training at all, and they have been blessed with rage by spell effects.Charge like a beast, there is no formation at all.

Now it was impossible to stop the cavalry rushing from the side, and hundreds of them were killed in a blink of an eye.

However, the number of these cavalry was too small after all. After a charge, they did not dare to go deep into the wave battle. They left quickly and regrouped, planning to find another opportunity to attack.

The yellow turban commander in the city didn't have much experience, and he seemed flustered when he encountered such a thing, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

It took a long time to remember to gather the team and form a formation.

It's just that there is a group of mobs, coupled with the violent spell effect, it is not easy to calm them down and gather together.

But at this time, with the arrival of the cavalry, the infantry under the governor of Jingzhou also arrived.Although the number is not large, there are two to three thousand, but they are all quite elite, rigorously drilled, and well-equipped regular troops.

In other words, the Han family... In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the regular army was very small, and only the Luoyang Imperial Army belonged to the regular army.

There are only county soldiers in the local area!
And these county soldiers are also semi-professional troops, belonging to the category of militia where all the people are soldiers... Soldiers in wartime and farmers in leisure time.

However, since it is still in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, in the afterglow of the classical war era of general warfare, the training belonging to the county soldiers can still be guaranteed.All kinds of weapons and equipment in the arsenal are still complete.

When Xu Wei, the governor of Jingzhou, came to help, he mobilized some county soldiers from Jiangxia, Changsha, Wuling, Nanjun and other places in Jingzhou.

Now these infantry are the teams composed of soldiers from various counties in Jingzhou.

However, because the above-mentioned counties are located in the south and the economy is not developed, many county soldiers only wear leather armor, and the number of iron armor is much less, only half.

But the bravery of these infantry far exceeds that of Nanyang soldiers and horses!

In particular, it can be seen that there are still many barbarians with broken hair and tattoos in this team. They should be soldiers sent from Wuling and Nanjun.

These barbarian soldiers carried large shields, spears, and axes, and their bravery was not weaker than that of the yellow scarves.

Without waiting for the cooperation of other troops, many barbarians rushed directly into the Yellow Turban Army with their shields in hand and began to slaughter them.

But better than these yellow turban soldiers who have fallen into a frenzy, these barbarians are good at hunting.

Although they are not good at large-scale battles, they are very proficient in small groups of three or five people.

In particular, they are good at using shields. In a group of three or five, they squeeze a Yellow Turban army with a shield, and then chop off with a spear and axe, killing each Yellow Turban army.

Those Yellow Turban soldiers fell into a frenzy. Although their strength increased greatly, their brains were obviously a little dull, and they couldn't cope with such a situation.

Fortunately, these barbarians should belong to the Banchu barbarians, and there are not too many of them, otherwise they will suffer even more.

Of course, more threatening to the Yellow Turban Army than these barbarians were the regular county soldiers under the governor of Jingzhou.Because they are equipped with a large number of crossbows.

The Han family was famous for their strong crossbows and iron armor.It is for this reason that the so-called one Han should be the five Hu!
At this moment, a large number of county soldiers equipped with standard crossbows lined up in several rows, followed behind the barbarians, and continuously shot crossbow arrows to kill the Yellow Turban army.

For a while, the two sides cooperated very well, and the cavalry next to them regrouped and suppressed from the side, ready to attack at any time.The elite Yellow Turbans on the Nancheng side were beaten into a panic.

The main reason is that when they chased and killed the Nanyang soldiers, they had already run away, and without any military formation, they would become a mess, and they would only end up being suppressed and beaten.
