Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: The New Biography of Guan Ping

Although the number of cavalry is not large, but because of the well-equipped and neat formation, under the charge, the momentum is comparable to that of thousands of ordinary cavalry. www>

Seeing this, the war-loving Guan Ba ​​was extremely excited, rushed to Guan Ping's horse, and said: "Father, let Ba'er lead the cavalry to charge and kill."

Guan Ping shook his head, kicked his legs, and shouted: "You are not allowed to fight, and wait for action." Although the tiger and leopard cavalry are well-known, it is not for nothing that they fall into the camp. Guan Ping has considerable confidence in it.

Guan Ba ​​was reluctant, but he didn't dare to refute, so he sighed fiercely, and knocked the sledgehammer in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the battle ahead.

Gao Shun was very familiar with this kind of formation against the enemy. According to Guan Ping's order, he adopted the combat method that he was most used to and best at in the trapped camp - the circular formation. [

However, in view of the enemy now, that is: the further back the safer, some small changes were made, and the pikemen were placed behind the shieldmen, while the crossbowmen were placed at the end.

Shield armor is a commonly used weapon to deal with the opponent's cavalry attack and plunder in field battles. In field battles, if there are few cavalry in the field, and the whole place is full of iron cavalry, without such armored soldiers, it will undoubtedly be defeated.

Looking at the camp, at the front, like a wall, there are solid tiger-patterned shields erected. Behind the shield soldiers, there are spearmen, and those who hold halberds, spears, and lances. , densely packed, followed by a row of crossbowmen.

When the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry rushed to the forefront, Xia Houyuan may have seen such a tight formation for the first time, and his intuition made him quickly make a decision: not to attack for now, but to shoot long distances with bows and arrows first, and see the results.

At the beginning of the battle, the elite armored shield soldiers stood at the forefront. Under the protection of the pikemen behind them, they resisted most of the arrows.

Guan Ping looked over and saw Gao Shun standing beside the pikemen, dodging the arrows from time to time, while ordering: "Be sure to set up your formation and don't panic. If anyone is hit by an arrow, endure it and don't make a sound!"

The crossbowmen trapped in the rear of the camp are too far away, and ordinary bows and arrows are not a threat. Although the strong bows and crossbows can kill the tiger and leopard cavalry, their numbers are not large, and the tiger and leopard cavalry are also unable to figure out the reality. , didn't dare to step forward rashly, but just shot a few arrows from a distance, which did little damage and didn't pose a big threat.

The two sides became stalemate for a while.

Guan Ping was about to lead his troops to the north, looking for an opportunity to lead the cavalry to attack, but unexpectedly, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The soldiers in the camp, who were neatly formed, suddenly became agitated, and the wails of soldiers continued to be heard from it.

At this time, the demeanor of Gao Shun's generation of famous generals was revealed, and he called out some of the guards around him, and said: "Lead a few people behind you to supervise the battle, if there are rioters, kill them immediately!"

A few people responded loudly, and walked forward with their swords in hand, while repeating Gao Shun's order. In this way, the situation came to a standstill.

Guan Ping felt uneasy, so he led Guan Ba ​​and other hundreds of cavalry to check the situation.

Seeing Guan Ping leading the troops forward, the soldiers trapped in the camp stepped aside one after another, making way for three horses to walk side by side. Hundreds of people followed this path to the front. A horse head in front closely guards the latter, and its huge body tightly blocks Guan Ping. By the way, the 11-year-old Guan Ba ​​may have suffered from gigantism or premature development. The height has been equal to Guan Ping, and it is extremely majestic.

Guan Ping looked at the situation in front of him and suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the trapping camp had such a tight defense and still suffered heavy losses. It turned out that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had thrown their halberds instead of their bows.

Guan Ping is well aware of the power of throwing a halberd.

But the current formation of the trapped camp is mainly defensive, and the offense is extremely poor. If this continues, will they still be shot to death alive?

Guan Ba ​​was very happy to see the opponent's cavalry galloping their horses, and from time to time he came up with a halberd. In a blink of an eye, another soldier was hit by the halberd and was nailed to the ground. , roared: "Father, the enemy's cavalry is only a few hundred, so why should we be afraid? Father, let's fight!"

At this time, the other [-] cavalry who had been cruising around saw the fighting here, and under the leadership of Zang Ba and Sun Guan, they rushed over one after another. [

Guan Ping took a look and made a rough estimate. The enemy army had four to five hundred cavalry, and their combat power was obviously stronger than his own, but his own side also had nearly seven hundred cavalry, which were considered elite and good at fighting.

Moreover, even if the battle is unfavorable, the Guan Ping Department can withdraw in time.Thinking of this, Guan Ping nodded, pulled out the green steel, and shouted: "The archers stop shooting arrows, and there is a gap in the shield armor."

When the order was fulfilled, the archers put down their bows and crossbows, and the shield soldiers immediately moved away their clumsy shields.

"Come on!" With Guan Ping's loud shout, cavalrymen from Guan Ping's department swarmed out from the gap in the camp.
