I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 271, Army Against Heavy Cavalry

On the battlefield, the sound of drums was loud and the dust was flying. The banners of the Tengjia Army and the Han Army were constantly changing positions, advancing or retreating.

A total of more than 30 troops entangled together and fought fiercely on this battlefield with a radius of 10 miles.

On the central battlefield, the armored heavy cavalry and the artillery battalion in the hands of Lei Gong are the two most powerful fists. It is difficult for any battalion of soldiers in Huangfusong's hands to resist these two heavy fists. Huangfusong is afraid of iron armor The heavy cavalry and artillery battalion have a strong attack power, so they can only use WISCO vehicles and chariots to create obstacles to delay the attack of the Rattan Armor Army.

But all he can do is delay. Although the WISCO and chariot are strong, they are helpless in the face of artillery bombardment. They will soon turn into a pile of sawdust. The 10-strong army fought steadily retreated, and four battalions of 7 troops were defeated by the Tengjia Army.

It can be said that what Huangfusong can do now is to continuously put battalions of soldiers into the battlefield, constantly consume these soldiers, and buy time for his army!

On the left-wing battlefield, although Huangfusong sent Zhang Yun's [-] cavalry to support Yuan Shao, they had already lost the opportunity in the early stage. The bow and arrows in the Tengjia Army suffered heavy casualties. Even with Zhang Yun's support, they could barely maintain the front line. There is also the danger of collapse at any time!
The only good news for Huangfusong is that Ju Yi on the right wing killed 3000 cavalrymen of the Tengjia Army and severely damaged the left cavalry of the Tengjia Army. Using the mobility of the cavalry, he continued to kill Ju Yi's subordinates with bows and arrows, and Ju Yi also counterattacked with a strong crossbow. Whether it was from the power of the strong crossbow or shooting, Ju Yi had the upper hand.

But this advantage can hardly change Huangfusong's decline. Lei Gong's artillery is too powerful. Huangfusong can only watch his central army gradually retreat. Too many soldiers in the central army collapsed due to the bombardment of the artillery. Huangfusong We can only arrange a supervising team in the rear to bring these collapsed fighters to the battlefield again!

Looking at the situation on the battlefield, Huangfusong's face was solemn. The strength of the Tengjia Army had grown too fast. In the past, the Tengjia Army was only equipped with excellent weapons and equipment, but the Han soldiers had the upper hand in terms of combat effectiveness and combat experience.

But now they are not weak in terms of equipment, combat experience, and combat effectiveness. Facing the attack of his 20 army, except for Ju Yi's left wing which has a slight upper hand, the rest of the hundreds of thousands of troops are passively beaten. If he continues, his central army and right wing are in danger of being crushed by the Tengjia army.

It stands to reason that he is not as powerful as others, so Huangfusong should withdraw his troops and lead the 20 troops all the way out of Changping County, all the way back to Jizhou, and then find a way to deal with Lei Gong.But he couldn't do that. Yuyang's 6 troops hadn't retreated yet. If they thought of retreating, the Yuyang defenders would be completely surrounded by the Tengjia army!

Huangfusong looked at the decline of the battlefield, and his face became more serious. Lei Gong had too many methods, and various new tactics and weapons emerged in an endless stream. Moreover, the soldiers in Lei Gong's hands were not mobs like the Yellow Turban Army, but well-equipped and powerful fighters. A powerful elite, it may be very difficult for him to defend Yuyang's retreat!

"Dang, dang, dang!" The 30 troops fought fiercely on the plains of Changping for a day, and the sun set in the west. Even though Lei Gong felt that he could defeat the enemy in front of him with one more attack, the soldiers had no energy and strength to fight. Now, and Huangfusong still has a reserve army in his hands, waiting in full force. Lei Gong knew that it would be difficult to defeat Huangfusong today, so he called back his troops and prepared to fight again in the future!
As for Huangfusong, Yuan Shao and Ju Yi, they also breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the sound of the Rattan Armored Army calling for gold to retreat. They finally got through this day. Today is too long, so long that they thought they couldn't make it through!

The battle was finally over, and they also followed Ming Jin to retreat. The losses of the Han army were even greater. Several battalions of soldiers had already collapsed. under the bow and arrow.The morale of the other soldiers has also been tense, and they don't know when this string will collapse.

In this battle, the Han army lost more than 20 soldiers, of which Yuan Shao's left-wing army lost more than 20 soldiers, Huangfusong's central army also lost more than 10 soldiers, and only Ju Yi's right-wing army lost slightly less A little bit, but more than [-] people. It can be said that half of the soldiers of the Han army were killed in this battle. The generals were terrified. Their [-] troops continued to fight, and they couldn't even hold back the [-]-day attack of the Rattan Army!

Huangfu Song thought for a while and asked, "How about the casualties of the Tengjia Army?"

Many generals looked at each other, they were beaten and retreated, and they really didn't notice the casualties of the Tengjia Army.

But Ju Yi said first: "The last general probably killed and wounded 4000 cavalrymen of the Tengjia Army here!"

The other generals looked at Ju Yi strangely, didn't it mean that he had the upper hand, why did he have more casualties than the Tengjia Army?
Then Ju Yi explained: "The last general's first boarding battalion caused huge casualties to the Tengjia Army during the hand-to-hand combat, but in the subsequent battles, the generals of the Tengjia Army were unwilling to engage in hand-to-hand combat. The last general also used bows and crossbows to fight back, but the defensive power of the rattan armored army's ceramic armor was too strong, and it did not cause much casualties to the rattan armored army, and the soldiers of the rattan armored army would retreat to the rear after being injured. Not a lot!"

Huangfusong said: "Yuntian is already a rare victory for our army. He will lead an army of 10. Under Lei Gong's attack, he will lose more than 2000 soldiers, but the casualties caused to the Tengjia Army are only a few. Not even more than [-] people!"

Ju Yi wanted to comfort Huangfusong and said, "The last general just caught the Tengjia army by surprise, but Ming Gong has to face the elite troops of the Tengjia army. The difficulty is naturally not the same, especially the gunpowder weapons of the Tengjia army. , if it appears on the battlefield of the last general, I am afraid that the last general will do worse than Minggong!"

But Huangfusong said: "If you lose, you lose. This general won't lie to me!"

Then he saw Yuan Shao said: "How many casualties did you cause to the Tengjia Army?"

Yuan Shao said in shame: "There are about a thousand people. The cavalry and archery of the Tengjia army is too powerful. Our soldiers are beaten so hard that it is difficult to raise their heads, and the archers are not trained enough. They quickly fell under the cavalry and archery attack of the Tengjia army. It collapsed, so it didn't cause too many casualties to the Rattan Armor Army!"

Huangfusong said with a blank expression: "That means we fought fiercely with the Tengjia Army for one day, and the casualties we caused to them did not exceed ten thousand!"

The other generals were ashamed when they heard it. There were less than [-] people there, and there were only [-] or [-] people. It can be said that the ratio of casualties between the two sides reached five to one. Their battle can be said to be a disastrous defeat!
Ju Yidao: "Duke Ming, all the dangerous passes in Youzhou have been conquered by Lei Gong. On the plain, our army is no match for Lei Gong. Although the general does not want to admit it, it is difficult for us to stop Lei Gong from occupying Youzhou. We even It is very difficult to stay in Changping for 5 days. Now Ziyu can only survive by cutting off his tail. Otherwise, not only will it be difficult for his 20 army to withdraw from Youzhou, but even our [-] army may be defeated by Lei Gong , if our army is defeated, Jizhou may be captured by Lei Gong!"

Other generals also followed suit and said, "Yes! Duke Ming, the Tengjia Army is too strong. The last general has fought for half his life. He has never seen such a rebel with such a powerful fighting force. Their equipment is even better than ours. We are really fighting now." but!"

"Minggong, we should retreat to Jizhou now to preserve our strength!"

"Zhuojun is not bad either! Zhuojun is full of rivers, and there are five rivers running through the entire Zhuojun. The terrain of Zhuojun is not suitable for cavalry battles. It is the best arrangement for us to build a defense line in Zhuojun!"

The generals around Huangfusong were all scared by Lei Gong, and now they heard that even Huangfusong's confidant, Ju Yi, suggested retreating, so they followed suit one by one to persuade Huangfusong to retreat, because they didn't want to fight the Tengjia army.

The rebellious equipment and strength are even better than those of their officers and soldiers, and all kinds of amazing new equipment emerge in endlessly. These generals feel that there is something wrong there, and they don't want to fight with cheat players like Lei Gong anymore!

Huangfusong was expressionless, and he didn't speak for a long time, and soon the generals below stopped talking, but looked at Huangfusong one by one in shame.

Huangfusong said in a deep voice: "Tell Ziyu about our situation, and say that the best we can do is help him guard the rear for 3 days, and let him find a way to retreat to Ji County within 3 days!"

Divide the words!

Different from the quiet atmosphere of the Huangfusong Camp, the Tengjia Army was very lively. They killed tens of thousands of Han soldiers in today's battle, but their casualties did not exceed 6000 soldiers. win the battle.

Moreover, most of these soldiers can be rescued. You must know that Xu Wei can be regarded as the person who attaches the most importance to the treatment of wounded soldiers in the world. Huangfusong may not even have 100 doctors. After simply bandaging the wounded soldiers, let them Wounded soldiers fend for themselves.

But in the Tengjia army camp, there are thousands of doctors and nurses. Every injured soldier will be properly taken care of. At the very least, they will be sterilized, clean gauze is used, and wounds are sutured with catgut. These technologies are ahead of the big man Thousands of years ago, more than half of the wounded soldiers died in this era, but in the Rattan Armor Army, not even half of the wounded soldiers died. It can be said that as long as the soldiers did not die on the spot, they could be rescued.

And as long as these soldiers recover from their injuries, they are veterans with strong combat effectiveness. You must know that veterans who have experienced a life-and-death battle are stronger than five recruits who have not experienced the battlefield. There is no harsher environment in this world than the battlefield. The strong live and the weak die. The battlefield is an examination room that forces people to make progress. Every time they go through a war, they will become stronger. Every veteran is a strong man. There are too many veterans in the army

Duan Peng said happily: "Commander Qu, with the cannon, Huangfusong's 20 troops cannot escape! We will continue to attack and destroy Huangfusong within 3 days, so that Yuyang's 6 troops will be surrounded by us. If these We have wiped out the entire army in Youzhou, and we have wiped out nearly 30 troops in Youzhou! Does the Han have an army in the north? Not at all! We can drink horses and the Yellow River in a month at most, and the whole of Hebei will be destroyed by then. is ours!"

Xu Wei also laughed and said: "You are dreaming before drinking, Huangfusong has 20 troops in his hands, tens of thousands of casualties today, but this is an army of more than [-], even if they are all pigs, it is impossible Let you catch it in three days! Not to mention that Huangfusong is still the number one general in the Han Dynasty, it will be so easy to be defeated there, and today we have suffered a big loss!"

Sun Qing came out and knelt down in front of Xu Wei and said, "Shuai Qu, I've shamed you. I fought a big defeat and killed thousands of brothers!"

Xu Wei got up and pulled him up and said: "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. Famous generals who are victorious in every battle are rare after all. Just remember this lesson!"

Then he said to the generals: "Everyone must also learn from Sun Qing's lesson. Don't think that we are invincible after annexing the Huns, defeating the Xianbei, and defeating the Han army. We are winning and the enemy is also there." Find a way to find our shortcomings and loopholes to defeat us! This time, Sun Qing committed the taboo that a proud soldier must be defeated. He knew that the Han army's refusal formation was not suitable for cavalry charges, but he still wanted to charge in. He didn't think about it at all. But is this a trap of the enemy! This is not only a lesson for Sun Qing, but also a lesson for all of us!"

Duan Peng also sighed: "The Han army is an army built against the heavy cavalry of our rattan armor army! It's fine to use WISCO carts and obstacles on the battlefield, but this iron ax, mace, and hammer, this All of them are designed for the iron armor of our Rattan Armored Army. Swords cannot break the iron armor, but axes, maces, and hammers cannot withstand such an attack even if we are equipped with iron armor, and Ju Yi's soldiers are also wearing heavy iron armor. , can be regarded as heavy infantry, ordinary weapons can't do anything to them, the battlefield environment at that time, even if Duan Yun's heavy cavalry enters, I am afraid it will not be able to please!"

Sun Qing gritted his teeth and said: "If they were not wearing iron armor, the swords in our hands would have been difficult to break through the defense of Ju Yi's soldiers, and my subordinates would not have suffered such heavy casualties!"

Few of the Rattan Armored Army had leather armor, and most of them didn’t even have armor. Facing swords, they had to use their bodies to fight against them. The spears and knives of such an enemy Rattan Armored Army were enough to deal with them, but now there are also Against the enemy wearing iron armor, the 3-4 catties heavy sword in the hands of the rattan armor army can only be said to be more than sharp, but not enough to break through the armor. Even if the sword is blunt when facing the soldiers who entered the camp first, it may not be able to kill a pioneer. Soldiers in camp!
Xu Wei also said with emotion: "Now there are more and more armored men! We also have to find a way to get some heavy weapons!"
