Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 388: First ascended dead man VS Tiefutu, offensive and defensive momentum
When Xu Huang heard this, he immediately became alert.

"Know the number of people."

The sentry hesitated for a while, and replied, "Less than a thousand people."

Apparently, even Sentinels didn't quite believe this result, so he made a special in-depth investigation, but it was a pity that it was still the same result, and there were indeed only hundreds of Yuan Jun's traces in the valley.

According to common sense, if an ambush is carried out in such a terrain, there should not be only a few hundred people.

Xu Huang pondered over and over again, could it be a bait?

Lure him to send an army, and then use the terrain to trap him in the valley?However, this is a place that must be passed through. If there is another detour, I am afraid that it will be delayed for several days.

"Command!" Xu Huang made up his mind and planned to pass this way, "The 1000 cavalry in front should pass through this valley first, and the army will follow me!"

Xu Huang planned to send 1000 men to test it first. If Yuan Jun really only had a few hundred cavalry, the thousand cavalry would be more than enough.

In this way, it can be regarded as the best of both worlds.

Soon, the front cavalry, led by the former army Sima Fangyan, marched towards the valley.

Along the way, Fang Yan conducted a detailed inspection of his surroundings. As Xu Huang's subordinate, he successfully learned the detection skills of General Xu Huang, especially as a former Sima of the army, he marched long ahead.

There are dense forests near the valley. Although it is winter, it can still cover a lot of sight. Fang Yan didn't find anything unusual.

The front is the valley, Fang Yan paused, and ordered the cavalry to drive in. Inside is the place where the sentry detected hundreds of Yuan Jun. Then he charged forward and was ranked high and low by combat power.

A thousand cavalry rushed into the valley, seeing nothing along the way, until a soldier shouted: "There are enemies ahead!"

Only then did Fang Yan realize that the so-called enemies were actually in pits, and they used iron shields to protect their bodies. At a glance, the road in the middle of the valley was dug like a beehive, with hundreds of potholes.

"Slow down, set your mind on your feet! Charge with me!" Fang Yan ordered, reminding the soldiers to pay attention to the potholes under their feet, so as not to stumble. Although the King of Bohai is fighting everywhere, there are hundreds of people in this area, Fang Yan really doesn't pay attention .

The cavalry passed by, and the guns poured continuously on the reinforcement shield soldiers, but they were leaning over in the pit, and with the protection of the iron shield, it was difficult for the cavalry to succeed.

Many iron shields were knocked away by the cavalry, revealing Yuan Jun inside. I saw that they were holding a special long sword. This sword has no edge or edge, just like a big needle. blood tank.

This strange weapon immediately attracted Fang Yan's attention, and then he saw such a scene, a Yuan Jun avoided the spear attack, jumped up from the pit, and stabbed the long sword at the cavalry, because the cavalry seemed to be higher than him Unexpectedly, his long sword pierced the horse's cloak. The originally densely scaled cloak would certainly be able to block this blow. However, this time, with Yuan Jun's vigor and the speed of the cavalry, the sharp long sword The sword was directly inserted into the horse's body through the gap, and Yuan Jun succeeded in one blow, and rolled back to the pit. When he stood up again, there was another needle sword like that in his hand.

The originally invincible cavalry seemed to be disabled at this moment, and their lethality was greatly reduced, but Yuan Jun took advantage of this to kill and wound many cavalry and war horses.

Fang Yan found that not only him, but many front cavalrymen had been hit by this kind of needle sword. He immediately learned that this was Yuan Jun's secret weapon, which was specially used to break armor. According to past combat experience, Bohai King's armor can withstand ordinary It is difficult for soldiers to slash, stab with swords, and ordinary bows and crossbows are difficult to break through. Obviously, Yuan Jun has upgraded his equipment.

This news must be told to the General!

Fang Yan had only one thought at this time, but at this time about half of the cavalry in the front rushed into the enemy's formation. If they turned around and retreated at this time, they would be severely injured by Yuan Jun. Fang Yan obviously didn't want to see his brothers and become Yuan Jun's sword Down the dead soul.

But if such important information is not brought back, wouldn't the rear army also have to face such a passive situation.

Fang Yan gritted her teeth, even if she suffered a loss, she would retreat!

"The rear army retreats! The rear army retreats!"

He shouted in a row, and at the same time reined in the horse, and the mount almost stopped in front of a pothole. Fang Yan shot down without saying a word, and Yuan Jun, who was trying to hide in the pothole, was nailed to the ground by him. , can no longer jump up.

According to the military order, the cavalry turned their heads and retreated one after another. Yuan Jun could not catch up except to intercept and kill some on the spot.

At this moment, Yanzhong suddenly remembered the sound of Jin Ming.

"Dangdangdang!"

Fang Yan was instinctively alert, the sound was not from his own side, then only Yuan Jun was there, Jin Ming usually signaled to retreat, but at this time Yuan Jun had the upper hand, and they were the ones who retreated, obviously this Jin Ming had other meanings.

Fang Yan couldn't think of anything, but Yuan Jun made all his movements. They stopped attacking, rolled back into the pit, and then——

"Hoohoo!"

There was a scream, and the retreating two-winged cavalry was attacked.

"Fang Sima, the two wings are under heavy crossbow attack!" The cavalry shouted.

Looking at the two wings, Fang Yan saw heavy arrows shooting out of the forest on both sides of the valley. One exception.

"Quick retreat!" Fang Yan yelled again, the strange type of troops, the preset heavy crossbow, this place is a complete trap, and Xu Huangjun is waiting, which shows that Yuan Jun is very clear about his movements.

Looking at the almost fallen cavalry brothers, Fang Yan's heart ached. Commanding them to fight for several years, this was the first time he had suffered such a big loss.

Above the valley, a general in brown leather and silver armor watched the battle in the valley and nodded with satisfaction.

"They were able to retreat in time. King Bohai's soldiers and horses are really sharp. If they advance for a while, I can guarantee that the entire army will be wiped out."

"General Ju is indeed mighty. This is the first time I've heard that someone can repel King Bohai's cavalry." A voice echoed from the side.

"General Luo has won the prize. It is thanks to King Chen's heavy crossbow that he can achieve such damage!" Ju Yi praised.

"General Ju's subordinates are really brave. Facing the charge of Bohai King's cavalry, they are able to fight back. It's really unheard of."

Ju Yi smiled triumphantly. It's not because you in the Central Plains are old-fashioned in thinking. You only know how to read books and don't know military tactics. How can they compare with them from Liangzhou. There are small battles every three to five days, and there are large-scale conflicts almost every month. Ju Yi Having dealt with Qiang cavalry for many years, he knows cavalry best and how to deal with cavalry best.

"Xu Huang has always acted steadily. He only sent a thousand people here today. He must be suspicious. Now that half of them have fled back, he must be more cautious and dare not advance rashly. I thought I could inform General Jiang Qi and start the process." Already!" Ju Yi suggested.

Luo Jun nodded and agreed. Originally, when they besieged the city with the three armies, what they were most worried about was the hidden dangers of the Bohai King's soldiers and horses. Now that they know that Xu Huang's soldiers and horses are trapped here and have lost the battle, they will definitely not be able to help Xu Rong in a short time. Ju Yangzhi The battle has already begun.

On the other side, Fang Yan has returned to the army and is pleading guilty to Xu Huang.

Xu Huang held a blood-stained crossbow arrow and stared at it intently.

The whole body of the iron sword is made of iron, and its arrows are made of fine iron. How many stone bows do you need to shoot such heavy arrows through the armor of cavalry and horses?
It is conceivable that it must be a heavy crossbow machine.

"After a short battle, the front part was damaged by nearly half. I can't blame you for this matter. It's my fault that the general didn't investigate clearly. Get up!" Xu Huang said tolerantly, looking at the arrow, and asked: "And the shield soldier You can talk about the novel way of fighting in detail."

Fang Yan explained everything he witnessed, not even missing the details of the blood groove on the needle sword.

"It seems that this fighting style and weapons are tailor-made for our army! Can you tell who the enemy will be?"

Fang Yan shook his head.

Xu Huang looked at the heavy arrow in his hand again, and an idea came to his mind.

According to Fang Yan, these Yuan troops were in pits, using shields to avoid cavalry attacks, and then waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. In this way, ordinary cavalry is indeed difficult to deal with, but——

Xu Huang also had a special cavalry under his command.

They were mighty in size and wore heavy armor. Between the cavalry and the cavalry, iron chains were used to drag the thorny iron pillars. If the iron pagoda was used to plow the valley, what would happen to Yuan Jun?

The most important thing is that Tie Futu is not afraid of these heavy arrows. Back then, the King of Bohai tested it himself. Even if Zhao Yun attacked with all his strength, it only dented the plate armor.

"The front part of you should take a good rest first, pass the order! Iron Buddha attack!"

Although Tiefutu marched slowly, he quickly entered the valley. Soon, Ju Yi and Luo Jun received a report that another thousand soldiers from Xu Huang's army had entered the valley.

Ju Yi and Luo Jun looked at each other in disbelief.

Xu Huang is on top?At this time, you still send troops to die?

"Just...just..."

"Just what!" Ju Yi asked impatiently.

"It's just that those cavalrymen look very tall." The spies replied.

"Huh!" Ju Yi snorted coldly, "Tall is not tall, under heavy arrows, all living beings are equal! Send the order to Yanzhong, prepare for battle!"

The army commander who led Tiefutu was named Gong Qiu, he was the tallest and strongest man in Xu Huang's army, and this man not only had brute strength, but also had a particularly flexible mind. After entering the valley, he ordered to slow down again.

The horses stepped one step at a time, with a clear rhythm, but the thorny iron pillar dragged between the two horses made a constant "cracking" sound, echoing in the valley.

To be honest, even Yuan Jun, who was in ambush, began to feel uneasy when he heard such a combination of rhythmic steps and chaotic noises.

When Ju Yi himself saw Tiefutu marching into the valley, he couldn't help staring.

Ju Yi was not completely ignorant. Seeing this soldier horse, he quickly thought of the kind of super horse produced outside the Western Regions. However, although this kind of horse has excellent pulling power, it moves slowly and is not suitable for war horses.

But the scene in front of him overturned his cognition.

This war horse is simply a moving city wall!

"Not good!" Ju Yi's heart skipped a beat, "Pass me the order, let me know to go to the camp first! Retreat!"

However, at this time, Gong Qiu suddenly ordered to speed up the charge, and the slow-moving Tiefutu immediately started to run. Although the speed could not be compared with the cavalry, it was at least a horse. It ran faster than humans. The iron pillar made a "clang lang lang lang" sound, and at the same time began to roll violently, and every time it encountered a bump, one end would even jump up.

When Ju Yi's order to retreat was sent to Xiandeng's camp, Tiefutu had already stepped into it.

The warriors who ascended first were not afraid of death, and continued to repeat the same tricks, hiding in deep pits and using shields to block attacks.

However, as soon as someone leaned over and hid behind the shield, Tiefutu stepped on it, and the shield twisted and sank immediately, without even making a scream, blood flowed profusely under the iron shield.

There was also someone who was trying to fight back, stabbed fiercely with the needle sword, and suddenly found that the plate armor was tightly stitched, not half a point, but he was pierced by an iron lance, and then was thrown aside at will.

Someone with agility, evading left and right, continuously avoided the inflexible attack of Tiefutu, but as the cavalry passed, he was hit by an iron pillar, and then he was caught by thorns, dragged for a while, and screamed throughout. Heaven and earth, but no one heard it, only in the muddle of flesh and blood, gradually calmed down.

The thorny iron pillars are like plowing the ground, and they will make up for Yuan Jun who was not killed by the cavalry. If he is lucky enough to escape the first iron pillar, he may not be able to escape the second or third...

Ju Yi looked at the battle situation in the valley, his face full of disbelief.

"How is this possible! How could Xu Huangjun come up with a solution so quickly!"

No matter which angle Ju Yi looked at, from defense to attack, he was the one who just restrained him from going to the camp first. If it was not deliberately targeted, he would not believe it.

"Quick! General Luo! Attack with a heavy crossbow!" Ju Yi said urgently.

Luo Jun didn't dare to be too big, and immediately ordered the crossbowmen to attack. He also saw clearly the battle just now.

This soldier and horse seemed to give him a familiar feeling...

With a golden sound, Gong Qiu thought, according to Fang Yan's description, at this time, the heavy arrow is coming.

"Arrow!" Gong Qiu shouted, reminding.

Although plate armor is not afraid of iron arrows, soldiers do not mean that they will be safe if they are shot, even if they cannot break through the defense, their impact is still not negligible. Don't be afraid that your brain will become a paste.

After the Jinming passed, the army hibernated first, and then waves of arrows were shot from both sides of the valley.

The iron Buddhas showed their skills, or used heavy weapons to protect their vital parts, and weapons such as spears were used to block. Although the heavy arrows were sparse, people were shot from time to time.

Luo Jun stared at Yan Zhong with wide eyes, and murmured: "It's unbelievable, they are not afraid of heavy crossbows and iron arrows?"

At this moment, Ju Yi was too shocked to speak, or in other words, his heart was so painful that he couldn't breathe.

Because, the Iron Buddhas may be trying their best to avoid the iron arrows, but he went to the camp first, and if he was stepped on, he would end up with no bones left. Lift it up, or take it out with the person and the shield, and the subsequent fate can be imagined...

It was a big victory before, but after only half a day, it ended in a big defeat.

Even though he was very unwilling, Ju Yi still suggested: "General Luo, retreat, we are powerless to recover from this battle."

Luo Jun glanced back at Ju Yi. To him, the retreat would not be a big loss. The iron arrows he shot could be recycled. It's serious, Luo Jun only knows a little bit about him, he only knows that he is from Liangzhou, and it should be related to Han Suijun's defection.

Just when Luo Jun was unwilling to order the withdrawal, a spy rushed to him first.

"Report-"

"Xu Huang's army entered the valley and rushed to the heavy crossbow position!"
