I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 284: The thieves are full of confidence, Su Yao swears to charge

The Han soldiers will never come back.

Zhang Chunzhu responded to Tadun confidently. He was obviously confident in this vanguard battle and did not take the Han troops seriously.

He didn't just catch something by surprise along the way, he had already been fully prepared.

At the same time, as the former Prime Minister of Zhongshan who participated in the joint encirclement and suppression of the Yellow Turban Army, he also knew the strength of the Han army clearly.

If he faced the elite of the Northern Army, with the same number, he might not be sure of victory or defeat.

But now, they have surrounded the plain with twenty times the force. The camp is close to the city gate, and the area is only three miles away. It can be said that it is the top of Mount Tai!
With such power, it was impossible for the Han army to march out of the city to meet the enemy.

Their only means of counterattack was their less than two thousand knights, mainly red-robed Bingzhou cavalry.

Since ancient times, to defend a city, if you don't have the strength to go out and fight in the field, then being trapped in an isolated city is a dead end.

The siege team can not only build a variety of engineering weapons such as wells and rams, but they can also dig tunnels and even directly build a strong wall higher than the enemy city to brutally torture the defenders in various ways.

At present, the army is still stepping up its work in the camp. Many laborers and coolies there are captured Hebei people.

However, Prince Tadun was still a little uneasy about his confidence.

Those Han knights, as long as they have a little pride, will not completely ignore them. When the time comes, he will use their arrogance to severely attack these Han soldiers!

Therefore, these two thousand and four hundred elite soldiers were the bait he placed in front.

Zhang Chun and others obviously recognized the identity of this team.

The moment they saw this team, everyone was stunned.

When the time comes, no matter how powerful your elite soldiers are, in front of the power of that sea of ​​people, they can only restrain their hands and kill them at the very least!
Therefore, the purpose of Zhang Chun coming here and inviting a battle in front of the formation was to completely destroy the Han army's maneuverability.

These elite soldiers, coupled with his fierce general Li Gang who specializes in hard battles, gave Zhang Chun the confidence to invite the battle.

If they suffer a sudden defeat, these people may have some unnecessary illusions, which will be very detrimental to their siege work.

Therefore, his vanguard army was equipped with sufficient anti-cavalry weapons. Not only did each man have a spear, but the soldiers behind the formation also had sabers and mountain-breaking axes at their feet.

No matter how good those armored cavalry equipment are, there is no way your horse has armor on its legs!
This is the special attack against armored cavalry that he thought hard about.

The sun shone on them, and the armor reflected the dazzling light. It was the Tiger Army led by Su Yao.

If those red-robed knights from Bingzhou gave him the feeling of being as powerful as tigers on the battlefield, then these yellow-robed knights who followed the red-robed knights, tried their best to make a fool of themselves and were bitten by their disbanded rangers, were simply as powerful as fish belly. of fish belly.

Zhang Chun firmly believed that with his carefully arranged formation and the strength of his troops, he was enough to deal with any challenge from the Han army.

Immediately afterwards, the city gate slowly opened, and a red-robed general led a group of only more than three hundred yellow-robed knights, marching out in formation.

Is that indomitable momentum and incomparable terrifying impact so easy to stop?
This was the first battle of the siege, and its outcome had a very important impact on the morale of both sides.

Tadun opened his mouth and swallowed all the words he wanted to say in one breath.

However, just when Tadun wanted to persuade Zhang Chun to think carefully.
Suddenly, a burst of war drums sounded from the tower.

He saw with his own eyes how the general wielding a huge horse spear led the red-robed armored cavalry to disperse his army in one fell swoop.

After a brief daze, they burst into bursts of laughter.

"Hu Ben Army?"

"Is there anyone left for the big man?" "Is that foolish king finally completely crazy? Send this kind of thing out to challenge him?"

"There are only a few hundred people here."

"They're not even all armored knights!"

For a moment, the court was booed.

The jeers of the rebel generals echoed across the plains, intertwined with the sound of war drums, creating a strange atmosphere.

They looked at the knights of the Tiger Army who were wearing yellow robes and walking in a slightly disorderly manner, and their hearts were filled with disdain and contempt.

Amidst the bursts of ridicule, Dong Yong and other tiger and horsemen who accompanied Su Yao on the expedition because they passed the selection were also beating drums in their hearts.

They never expected that resisting for a long time would be useless, but instead they would be given the task of serving as the vanguard for the entire army.

If Su Junhou hadn't brought his confidants Lu Qidu and Liu Guanzhang and other generals who had made contributions in the last war to fight together, they might have really thought that they were going to be purged.

However, the general's attack could not relieve their nervousness. This could be clearly seen from the messy steps taken by the mounts under their crotches.

In the face of this huge pressure, many people's minds are blank.

Dead, dead, dead.

I managed to escape with my life last time, can I still run away this time?

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have worked so hard in the selection, and just failed like Mr. He Yuan and others!

Facing the ridicule and contempt of the rebels, the knights of the Tiger Army became more and more nervous. They held the reins tightly and walked towards the battlefield step by step.

When they were about to leave the city within a stone's throw, many people couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

At this critical moment, Su Yao stood up.

He raised his horse's horse, pointed to the sky, and called to stop the extremely nervous Huben soldiers.

Su Yao was seen riding out on horseback, came to the front of the formation, turned around, ignored the ridicule and provocation of the bandits behind him, glanced at the officers and soldiers of the Huben Army with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"Warriors of the Huben Army, do you still remember the origin of the name Huben?"

After Su Yao finished speaking, the soldiers of the Huben Army seemed to be struck by a bolt of lightning. Before they could think about it carefully, Su Yao continued:
“The name Tiger Ben comes from the army of ancient warriors who were brave and fearless, loyal to their country, and willing to sacrifice their lives to protect the country and the people.

Today, since you have inherited the name of Tiger Ben, you should show your bravery and loyalty to me! "

Su Yao's voice echoed on the battlefield, and every word hit the soldiers' hearts like a heavy hammer.

Especially the three people Liu, Guan, and Zhang in front of that formation. Although they have not yet obtained the qualifications to join the Huben Army, they are only serving here as non-staff.

But after hearing this, they couldn't help but tighten their weapons.

Without giving everyone time to respond, Su Yao continued:
"You have passed my selection before. You have proven yourself to me. You have the power of a warrior."

"Now, look behind you. There are not only the king you swore to protect, but also the innocent compatriots and your blood relatives."

"Now, it's time to prove myself to them."

"Prove that you are capable of fulfilling your oath, prove that you are qualified to carry the honor of Huben, and prove that you are no longer a useless waste waiting to die!"
