Demon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 93: Javelin Cavalry

"My lord, there are enemy troops approaching Chang'an City." Zhong Yao, who stayed behind in Chang'an, patrolled the tower and found a large number of cavalry approaching Chang'an.

"Oh? Could it be that the Xiliang army is attacking the west? To divert Lord Sikong's army and attack my Chang'an city?" Zhong Yao looked at the Xiliang cavalry outside the city and said to himself.

"Brother Yuanchang, does the Xiliang army rely on cavalry to attack the city?" After receiving the report from the soldiers, Zhu Ling also climbed up the tower. Looking at the cavalry in the distance, he was stunned for a moment. Could it be that the Xiliang army wanted cavalry to attack the city?This is not a joke, Chang'an City is not a small frontier fortress, as soon as the cavalry gets close to the crossbowman's range, they will turn into porcupines!

"You don't know very well, Wenbo, let's order the crossbowmen and shieldmen to go to the city, and step up the defense!" Zhong Yao also couldn't figure out the deployment of the Xiliang army, so he ordered Zhu Ling to lead people to strengthen the city defense.

"General? Cao Jun in Chang'an City found us." Pound's deputy general noticed the movement of troops in Chang'an City and reminded Pound.

"Don't worry, Cao Jun doesn't have many cavalry, so he dare not go out of the city to fight. Order our slave army to go up and arrange the formation, so that Cao Jun can see how powerful our army is."

"Yes, general!" The deputy general waved his command flag, and the slave army of the Xiliang Army stepped forward with a large number of javelins.

"Brother Yuanchang, who is the Xiliang Army?" Zhu Ling was stunned. The infantrymen of the Xiliang Army actually took about ten javelins each, tied the javelins together to form wooden stakes, and then put the wooden stakes together Ten meters as the interval, inserted into the ground.

"Set up the formation?" Zhong Yao was also stunned. Could it be that the person in command of the Xiliang Army is an idiot?Isn't this formation used to deal with the attacker?Did the Xiliang Army think that the soldiers stationed in Cao Jun would be so stupid as to abandon the tall Chang'an City and go out to fight hand-to-hand?

On the other hand, in the north of Chang'an West Plain.The slave infantry of the Xiliang Army did the same.It's just that the Xiliang army here has driven wooden stakes into the ground.The javelin is then driven into the ground near the stake.

"My lord, the Xiliang army seems to have sent only cavalry, the army of the Xiliang army...?" Xun You quickly discovered what was wrong with the Xiliang army, saying it was a decisive battle, and only let the cavalry attack. What ambush?

"Don't worry, Gongda. I think the Xiliang army must have a conspiracy. I have already ordered Zhong Yao to step up the defense of Chang'an. Since they only send cavalry to fight our army. Then, our army should not let this opportunity pass. Order Zihe and Wen Yuan When the battle is fought, lead the left and right armies to encircle them, and try to wipe out this army!"

"promise!"

"General, the Xiliang Army's siege vehicles are coming!" Outside Chang'an City, after Pound's army was ready, the siege troops slowly approached Chang'an City under the command of Deputy General Pound.

"Wenbo!"

"Bowmen get ready!" Zhu Ling gave an order.The crossbowmen and shieldmen approached the battlements, ready to attack the Xiliang army.

"Hmph! Order the javelin cavalry to attack!"

"promise!"

I saw the deputy general ordering the flag.The cavalry of the Xiliang Army rushed out. These cavalry were armed with javelins, short knives and crossbows at their waists.

"this.......?"

"Bidding!" The Xiliang cavalry charged about 300 meters before throwing javelins about 100 meters away from Chang'an City.

"Yuanchang be careful!" Hundreds of javelins drew a beautiful arc in the air, heading towards the Chang'an tower like a parabola.

"Ah!" Cao Jun's soldiers on the tower had no time to dodge, and many of them were pierced through the chest and died on the spot.

The soldiers around Zhong Yao were also pierced through the chest, and the blood directly rushed to Zhong Yao's body.Zhong Yao's expression changed and he was startled.This method of warfare is too bloody.

"Hurry up, Wen Bo, order the crossbowmen to stop Xiliang's siege troops!" Although Zhong Yao was frightened a bit, he was still conscious, and the Xiliang army must take the opportunity to attack the city.

"Ah!" Another burst of javelins flew over, and the soldiers who had just stepped forward died tragically near the battlements.

"Yuanchang, Chang'an can't be defended anymore. Let's go to the granary quickly and transport the baggage and rations to Tongguan." Zhu Ling is a veteran general. Seeing this situation, he knew that the gate of the city would be breached soon. However, as long as the Xiliang cavalry entered the city, the infantry in the city would be hard to resist, and the best policy was to retreat.

"This...?" Zhong Yao looked at the soldiers on all sides, all of them showed terrified expressions, and they didn't dare to approach the battlements at all. How can they resist the Xiliang army like this?

"Wenbo, quickly order elite soldiers to block the avenue of Chang'an, so as to buy time for our army to withdraw from Chang'an."

"Ling understands!"

On the plain to the west of Chang'an, after the Xiliang army and the Cao army fought hand-to-hand, Ma Chao soon discovered that Cao Cao was going to encircle the Xiliang cavalry.

"My lord, there are strange wooden piles ahead!" Soon the Xiliang army retreated into the wooden pile formation. Cao Chun, who had never seen the wooden pile formation, ordered the former army to stop in front of the formation.

"Wooden stakes?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, looking around, he saw countless wooden stakes with different heights and heights on the plain, which seemed to be reinforced.

"Gongda? What kind of formation is this?" Cao Cao looked at Xun You suspiciously. He had experienced hundreds of battles, and he had never seen such a strange formation.

"This......?" Xun You was also stunned for a moment. These wooden stakes seemed to be the same as giant deer or juju horses, which were obstacles to prevent soldiers, especially cavalry from attacking, but they were not the same as ordinary julu and juju horses. The horse is a bit taller, as if it is used to block the attacker's line of sight?

"Military division, look, there is a high platform in the center of the formation!" Xu Chu pointed to the center of the formation, there was a high platform about 20 meters, on which there were more than a dozen flag soldiers and two lieutenants.

"Gongda?"

"My lord, that high platform should be used by the Xiliang army to monitor the entire formation and command the soldiers in the formation..."

"My lord, be careful!" Countless javelins flew out from the piles suddenly, and Xu Chu quickly pulled Cao Cao back.

"Ah!" All the soldiers around Cao Cao were pierced through the chest by javelins and died on the spot.

"Zihe?"

"Pure understand!" Cao Chun immediately rushed into the pile formation with an army.

"My lord, be careful!" Another round of javelins attacked Cao Jun.

"My lord, we'd better stay away from this formation and make a decision after General Cao Chun finds out what's true in the formation!" Xun You saw javelins flying out of the wooden stake formation from time to time, and for Cao Cao's safety, he suggested that Cao Cao retreat to a safe place Wait and see.

"En!" Cao Cao nodded, agreeing to Xun You's suggestion.

Under the cover of the shield soldiers, Cao Cao led the army back to a place [-] meters away from the formation.When retreating, many javelins flew out of the formation, and many of Cao Jun's shield players were killed or injured.

"General, Cao Cao's army has retreated?" A lieutenant on the high platform pointed at Cao Jun's team and looked at Zhang Baiqi suspiciously.

"Cao Cao wants to find out what's true in my formation?"

"Pass the order, and the yellow turban fighters in the formation will force out the soldiers of Cao Jun who rushed in."

"At the same time tell the lord that his javelin cavalry is ready to attack!"

"No!" (to be continued...)
