Chapter 443: Ambush from all sides(1/2)
The rebel army and the Yellow Turban partial force Zhang Baobu won two battles. On the other side, the official army led by Dong Zhuo collided with the main force of the Yellow Turban. Although the battle situation was stumbling, the progress was still smooth.
Dong Zhuo had a strong army and Xiliang's elite cavalry were brave. After several small victories, he pursued the Yellow Turbans and advanced furiously.
The Yellow Turbans seemed to have been defeated. Dong Zhuo chased for a while and encountered a wave of Yellow Turbans. He then led his cavalry to charge towards them. The Yellow Turbans did not offer any resistance and simply collapsed without any resistance at all.
The Yellow Turbans collapsed at the first touch. At the beginning, the Xiliang Cavalry was full of momentum. After a day of pursuit, they encountered a small group of Yellow Turbans again. The exhausted Xiliang Army no longer had the initial power and the pursuit slowed down.
The entire Julu was reduced to a battlefield. Dong Zhuo led his cavalry along the road, but encountered another yellow scarf in front of them that was the same as before.
Beside the road, there is a long bamboo pole planted on the ground. On the bamboo pole hangs a large earth-yellow flag with the two characters "Yellow Turban" written on it and the words "Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches" written below.
As soon as the Yellow Turban troops saw the troops coming, they immediately scattered across the road and fled in all directions.
Dong Zhuo's thousands of cavalry advanced together, encountering small and small groups of yellow scarves, endlessly, chasing hundreds of them with his thousands of cavalry, and it felt like a great talent was used for a small purpose.
After two days of pursuit, Dong Zhuo, who was extremely bored, ordered a team of hundreds of Xiliang cavalry to spread out along the road and pursue them. They would kill the yellow turbans whenever they saw them, and he was determined to strangle them all and not stop.
The Yellow Turbans were too scattered. Although the Xiliang cavalry broke through one after another, breaking through more than ten or twenty formations a day, cumulatively, they were not able to kill many Yellow Turbans.
The Xiliang cavalry were dispersed and dispersed, causing immediate damage to the Yellow Turbans. Within a day, the Yellow Turbans were defeated in countless numbers.
The Yellow Turbans showed no resistance, and the Xiliang army pursued them one-sidedly.
This continued for three days, and the Xiliang army continued to encounter waves of Yellow Turbans.
Sometimes after a sweep along the road, the Yellow Turbans were dispersed. When they returned, there was actually a group of Yellow Turbans behind them. This gave the Xiliang soldiers the illusion that the Yellow Turbans seemed to be killing them endlessly.
In places where the Xiliang army could not see, the Yellow Turbans often dispersed, no matter where they dispersed, in which direction, and how embarrassed they fled. The Yellow Turbans' defeated troops would end up in the fields, in the fields, on the roadsides, and in the weeds.
On beaches, rivers, and other messy places, you will encounter tall yellow scarf flags that have been planted there at some point.
Then, as long as the defeated troops touch the big flag in the chaos of the wilderness, they will stop and freeze.
The scattered troops had no shape at all, but because of the deliberate placement of flags everywhere, large flags, like camps everywhere, magically gathered the scattered yellow scarves together one after another.
Then, when the gathered Yellow Turbans reached a certain size, they formed a group and left the deserted fields and shoals, walked to the middle of the road, and marched along the road.
The Yellow Turbans were not unarmed, they also had swords and guns, and quite a few bows and crossbows.
Whenever the Yellow Turban team encounters the Xiliang cavalry, they will be defeated in every battle. The cavalry rushes, and the Yellow Turban crossbowman can withstand fear and fire a crossbow, which is considered good.
However, because the Yellow Turbans would sometimes take advantage of the terrain, sometimes they would lie in ambush in the woods, wait for the Xiliang cavalry to pass by, and then sneak away with a few arrows.
The Xiliang Army began to suffer a small number of casualties.
As long as the Xiliang army pursues, the Yellow Turbans will resist a little or even not at all, but they will retreat immediately. However, every time the Yellow Turbans collapse, another group will gather out of nowhere.
I don't know how many yellow scarves there are, they are like ants scattered randomly, and they will naturally gather enough people under a banner somewhere to come back again.
The Xiliang Cavalry advanced, and the Yellow Turbans retreated. The Xiliang Cavalry stopped for a while to repair, but the Yellow Turbans saw it. Qiao Mo touched it and harassed them. The Xiliang Cavalry pursued them again, but the Yellow Turbans fled again.
One of the key points is that the Yellow Turbans were not disciplined, but they were able to gather and reunite their organizations repeatedly. Moreover, as they repeatedly collapsed, the Yellow Turbans began to spontaneously wait for larger groups of people to gather together before going out to take action.
With repeated defeats, the Yellow Turbans became more and more skilled in escaping. At first, they were afraid of the cavalry. As the Xiliang cavalry became more and more tired, the Yellow Turbans also shot and killed cavalry from time to time. The Yellow Turban army's fear of the cavalry was gradually overcome.
Miraculously, the Yellow Turban Army was actually able to defeat. Their morale began to rise, and their combat effectiveness began to increase.
The Yellow Turbans began to take the initiative and subconsciously gather more manpower, and began to spontaneously realize that ambushes were useful. They concentrated their archers and crossbowmen to ambush beside the field road. They could kill one or two cavalrymen by surprise when they passed by. The Yellow Turbans began to use more ambush tactics.
There are many brave and brave men among the Yellow Turbans.
There was a warrior who happened to have a bow in his hand. He was chased away by the Yellow Turban Cavalry half an hour ago. He was walking along the road when he suddenly heard the rumble of horse hooves. The Yellow Turban Army was startled and panicked. They hurried to the ditch next to them.
Roll, the ditch is full of weeds, and the ditch is deep. When it rolls down, the person is buried in the grass.
Not long after the Yellow Turban Sergeant rolled into the ditch, horses' hooves rolled across the road.
When the sound of hoofbeats was a little far away, the yellow scarf sergeant carefully poked his head out of the middle and crawled up the ditch.
At this time, the official cavalry in front was running away. From the direction of the Golden Army, all they could see were the backs of the cavalry.
The yellow scarf sergeant hesitated and hesitated, stood in the middle of the road, raised his bow, nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow at the retreating cavalry.
Then without waiting for the shot to miss, it immediately fell into the ditch again.
The moment the Yellow Turban sergeant turned over into the ditch, he vaguely heard the neighing of horses.
After a long time, the sound of horse hooves disappeared for a long time, and then the Yellow Turban Sergeant climbed out carefully. When he looked across the road, the Yellow Turban Sergeant's eyes lit up.
Seventy or eighty paces away, a horse seemed to have fallen on the road.
The yellow scarf sergeant was overjoyed and ran over to take a look.
As he got closer, he discovered that the war horse lying on the road had been hit by an arrow in its neck, and blood was flowing all over the ground. The yellow turban sergeant pulled the arrow out of the horse's neck, and he could vaguely see that the arrow was his own.
The Yellow Turban Sergeant suddenly felt that he was extremely lucky.
The Yellow Turban lacked food and drink. How much meat did a horse get? But the horse was too heavy. The Yellow Turban sergeant was worried about what to do.
At this moment, a person sneaked up next to him. Looking at his head, he also had a yellow scarf wrapped around his head. He was one of his own.
The Yellow Turban soldier carrying the gun came over and looked at the dead horse on the ground, then looked at the Yellow Turban sergeant holding the bow and asked, "Are you shot to death?"
Although he was lucky enough to shoot an arrow randomly, the yellow scarf sergeant showed a proud look, shook the bow in his hand, and shook the blood on the arrow, "Huh! I didn't shoot him to death, but you shot him to death?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Another yellow scarf carrying a spear was immediately filled with admiration.
There are too many people in yellow turbans, and people walking through the fields and fields are either dispersing or on the way to being dispersed, or are gathering or on the way to gather.
Not long after, some yellow turban skirmishers passed by. Once there were people, they all worked together to drag away the dead horse.
Everyone divided the horses into eating raw horse meat. The food was disgusting and full, and their mouths were full of blood and flesh.
The story of the Yellow Turban Sergeant holding a bow single-handedly shot and killed a cavalryman spread among the gathered Yellow Turban Soldiers, and everyone was vaguely led by the Yellow Turban Sergeant.
After that, this group of yellow scarves were walking aimlessly and relying on their feelings with chopped horse meat. As they walked again, they came across a yellow sky flag, which was planted in a barren grave.
Many Yellow Turban refugees who bumped into this place have gathered here.
Someone came over with horse meat, and when the Yellow Turban soldiers were devouring the horse meat, the story of a Yellow Turban soldier holding a bow and shooting an official cavalry spread again.
Soon, more people gathered, between three and two hundred people.
With a capable person beside them, the Yellow Turban Army seemed to have found a backbone, "Strong man, no matter what you say, we will all follow you!" The Yellow Turban armed with an ax patted his chest and said.
"We're all going to do it with you, so tell us what we're going to do!"
"Yes, I did it all with you!"
The crowd in the Yellow Turbans was in full swing. The bow-wielding Yellow Turban sergeant was aroused, and his pride suddenly arose. The Yellow Turban Sergeant spat on the ground and waved his hand, "Let's go and fuck him!"
This archer-wielding sergeant was already a bit courageous, otherwise why would he dare to stand up and watch as the cavalry passed by?
The bow-wielding yellow turban sergeant had just hid in a ditch and killed an army horse. This was his only experience in fighting against the army.
Holding a bow and a yellow turban, the experience is dense and wide-ranging, "I was crawling into the ditch, and the officers and soldiers didn't see me. As soon as the officers and soldiers passed by, I came out from behind and fired an arrow at his butt..."
It turned out that this was how the officers and soldiers were shot to death.
Those who had bows and crossbows in their hands decided to go and lie down in the ditch to see if they could kill someone.
There are not many deep ditches on the roadside suitable for Tibetans, but under the pressure of survival and the desire for meat, this is not a problem for the Yellow Turban soldiers.
The Yellow Turban Soldiers came up with many good ideas. If the trench was shallow, they could just pull out some hay and make a haystack, and then they could hide in it.
The Yellow Turbans did not wait until the next day. In the afternoon, they encountered the official cavalry again.
The horses' hooves rumbled as they marched along the road. The Xiliang cavalry would not have thought that a large group of yellow scarves would treat them like meat and ambush them in the ditches in the nearby area.
Xiliang's horsemen galloped past like a whistling wind. When the sound of horse hooves was far away, a yellow scarf man holding a crossbow hurriedly crawled out from the haystack in the ditch.
Holding the crossbow in a yellow scarf, he pointed it at the back of the army cavalry, clicked the crossbow trigger, and with a whoosh, the crossbow arrows flew out. A moment later, the war horses were frightened and neighed...
Suddenly attacked from nowhere, the Xiliang cavalry centurion looked nervous and did not dare to stay for a long time, so he ordered his men to leave quickly.
Unexpectedly, they ran for a while, and just after crossing the intersection, there was a whoosh, and another stray arrow from nowhere hit the cavalry team. A Xiliang cavalryman's arm fell to the ground.
The Xiliang Cavalry was repeatedly attacked by cold arrows, and became a frightened bird. "Go! Don't stop!" The centurion of the Xiliang Cavalry looked nervous. As he shouted, the whip in his hand hit the horse's buttocks with a crack, causing the horse to hurt. Herod
He rushed away with a roar.
After a while, the Xiliang cavalry left, and a few figures emerged from the ditch timidly.
The ambush Yellow Turban soldiers walked over and saw a fallen lance on the roadside.
"Didn't you shoot anyone?"
"Wood."
"This gun is good." A yellow scarf picked up the well-made lance, danced it in his hand a few times, and looked satisfied.
…
As long as the Xiliang Cavalry encountered a large or small group of Yellow Turbans, as long as they adjusted their formation and rushed over, the Yellow Turbans would be defeated.
However, the Xiliang Cavalry had lost consecutive battles, and small groups of Yellow Turban troops still appeared one after another, one after another.
Restricted by the terrain, it was difficult for the cavalry to walk through the fields, and it was even more difficult for the cavalry to walk through the woods and ditches. As for the barren tombs and beaches, it was even more disadvantageous for the cavalry. Therefore, the Xiliang cavalry mostly walked along the road, sometimes defeating the Yellow Turbans. If the Yellow Turbans went to the high hills on both sides
Fleeing in the fields, the Xiliang cavalry had various concerns and gave up the pursuit.
The Xiliang Cavalry prevailed over the roads extending in all directions. Beyond the road network, in the wider areas, Huangtian flags stood everywhere, pole by pole.
The road colludes with the four fields, and the four fields are surrounded by the road. The yellow scarves from the four fields seem to have surrounded the Xiliang cavalry.
