Chapter 444 The Xiliang Army Remains(1/2)
Overnight, the arrogant Xiliang cavalry suddenly discovered that the situation had changed drastically.
The various cavalry teams pursued the Yellow Turbans along the road as usual, but the Yellow Turbans, uncharacteristically, did not wait to see the wind and retreat, but actually started to take the initiative to attack.
A group of three to five hundred yellow scarves gathered around and slowly pressed towards the Xiliang Cavalry.
With the Xiliang Jingqi's bravery and skill in fighting, the fragile and shapeless formation of the Yellow Turbans was enough to break down with a single charge.
However, the Yellow Turbans' fighting spirit increased greatly. Instead of escaping, they actively sought battle, thus causing greater trouble to the Xiliang cavalry.
This was the beginning of trouble for the Xiliang Cavalry.
On this day, no matter where the Xiliang soldiers went along the road, they would encounter the Yellow Turban team waiting for them.
After all, the Yellow Turbans' combat power was weak. Most of the time, Xiliang's cavalry had strong men and horses, and they often rushed past them. However, sometimes because the Yellow Turbans occupied a favorable location, they suffered several casualties in a single charge.
The casualties of the Xiliang cavalry are increasing rapidly. The casualties on this day are more than the sum of the past seven days.
Another group of Xiliang cavalry ran into the Yellow Turbans. This group of Xiliang soldiers originally consisted of a hundred people, but now there were less than 80 people left. The terrain was unfavorable to the Xiliang cavalry.
There is an uphill road ahead, with high field ridges on both sides of the road. There is no room to move left and right. The Yellow Turbans also blocked several tree trunks and many branches in the road. The Yellow Turban soldiers guarded behind the tree trunks with spears, spears and crossbows.
The Centurion of Xiliang Cavalry had hesitation on his face, "Detour!" After careful consideration, the Centurion ordered to bypass this place.
The decline of the Xiliang cavalry began on October 15th. Hundreds of Yellow Turban cavalry gathered along the road to search for the movements of the Xiliang cavalry. When the two cavalry met, a battle immediately broke out.
On the main road, the terrain is flat and open on the left and right, which is naturally conducive to cavalry charges.
The Yellow Turban Cavalry has a numerical advantage, while the Xiliang Cavalry has lost less than 70 people, but the combat capabilities of the two sides are obviously not at the same level.
Two cavalrymen met. On one side, the Yellow Turban Cavalry charged directly with swords and spears raised. On the other side, the Xiliang Cavalry suddenly encountered the Yellow Turban Cavalry Brigade, but their actions were completely opposite to those of the Yellow Turban Cavalry.
Instead of advancing rapidly, the Xiliang cavalry stopped for a while. Then the cavalry hurriedly moved closer together, sometimes moving forward, and sometimes reining their horses back slightly. The Xiliang cavalry generally moved closer together and formed a cone formation.
The horse hooves of the Yellow Turban Cavalry galloped and rumbled like thousands of drums. The Yellow Turban Knights were full of fighting spirit, shouting to kill and soaring to the sky, like a pack of wolves coming out of the mountain.
The Xiliang cavalry was delayed for a while, and the Yellow Turban cavalry rushed forward so fast that they reached nearly a hundred paces.
"Kill" The Xiliang cavalry centurion put his gun under his arm with one hand, raised the reins with the other, and gave the order to rush to kill.
The centurion took the lead, and the rest of the Xiliang cavalry followed closely, using a cone-shaped formation to quickly lift their horses from a standstill.
The cavalry was so fast that the two sides clashed again, and in the blink of an eye the two sides collided.
The Yellow Turban Cavalry who were leading the charge saw the official cavalry rushing towards them like a wall. The Yellow Turban Cavalry showed fear in their eyes and subconsciously pulled the reins and ran away, not daring to confront the Xiliang Cavalry.
The ones at the front could still dodge a bit to avoid the sharpness of the Xiliang Cavalry, but the Yellow Turban Brigade following behind could not avoid it.
The cavalry formations collided with the cavalry formations. In an instant, people were thrown off their horses, and the number of those who fell off their horses was unknown.
The Xiliang Cavalry crashed into the Yellow Turban Cavalry. They scattered the whole pair, used the formation to fight the non-formation, and used the iron armor and spears to fight against the uneven armor.
One of the number of people pierced through the past.
Suddenly after the Yellow Turban, Xiliang Cavalry still maintained the general shape of the cone formation, but the formation was much more scattered and the number of people was reduced by nearly one-third.
After cutting through the Yellow Turban Cavalry, the Xiliang Cavalry immediately left the battlefield and ran south along the avenue without making any stop.
Later, after the Yellow Turban Cavalry was in chaos for a while, they regained their morale, turned their horses around, and continued to pursue the Xiliang Cavalry.
On the road, the cavalry pursuit was in full swing.
The rumble of horse hoofs shocked the wilderness. At the end of the Xiliang cavalry, several cavalrymen bent their bows and set arrows on the bumpy horses to fight back against the pursuers. When the bow strings sounded, from time to time, some of the pursuing Yellow Turban cavalry were hit by arrows.
Shot off his horse.
Occasionally, some cavalrymen who were good at riding and shooting responded with arrows. Firstly, the Yellow Turban Army was not as good at riding and shooting as the Xiliang soldiers. There were too few people in the Yellow Turban Army who were good at riding and shooting. Furthermore, two or three sparse arrows fell in the west.
Liang Bing's body was either slid away by the iron armor, or blocked by the iron armor and hung on it.
The pursuit lasted for a moment, and twenty or thirty Yellow Turbans were shot off their horses, while only one of the Xiliang army fell off their horses. In addition, the Xiliang army's horses were fat and strong, while the Yellow Turban cavalry's horses were mixed, and they were gradually unable to catch up.
Suddenly the situation changed again. The Xiliang cavalry galloped along the road for several miles, and suddenly encountered a group of yellow scarf soldiers who were waiting at the intersection and were blocking the intersection.
There was a pursuit behind, and there was a roadblock in front. The centurion of the Xiliang Cavalry showed a stern look on his face, "Bump us over!"
The Xiliang cavalry obeyed the order, whipped their whips more rapidly, and pushed their horses to the limit to directly hit the Yellow Turban troops blocking the road.
To be able to face the cavalry charge without changing their composure and maintain an undisturbed formation, only elite soldiers can do it. When the Xiliang cavalry rushed to the 20th step, they heard the thunder of hooves. The Xiliang cavalry's armor was dazzling and the sound was terrifying.
They were frightened, and even the Yellow Turban centurions took the lead and ran away. No one restrained them, and the Yellow Turban soldiers scrambled and fled in all directions.
Twenty steps is too close, and the horse can reach it in two leaps.
Before most of the Yellow Turban troops could retreat from the road, the cavalry rushed towards them.
For a moment, the horse hit the person and flew away, and screams occurred one after another.
A Yellow Turban Lancer was so confused by the chaos and screams around him that he almost didn't know where he was. Suddenly, he saw a black shadow coming towards him from the corner of his eye.
Panicked in his heart, the Yellow Turban soldier subconsciously raised his gun and hit the black shadow randomly.
boom!
The wounded soldier in Yellow Turban felt a cracking pain in the bones on one side of his body, and his whole body flew out uncontrollably.
A sound of Herod's horse was heard, and the war horses screamed and stood up. The Xiliang cavalry was caught off guard and was knocked down directly. It hit the ground heavily and was disgraced.
Something happened suddenly. The Xiliang cavalry who rushed from behind deliberately steered their horses to avoid the situation. Fortunately, the Xiliang soldiers had excellent riding skills and were able to get around in an emergency. Otherwise, the fallen cavalry would have been trampled to death by the horses' hooves.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Looking back on what happened just now, it turns out that the yellow turban spearman only had time to stab out his spear, and was knocked away the next moment. However, due to the angle of the spear in his hand, it hit the ground.
After lying on the ground for a moment, the war horse rushed forward, and the end of the gun barrel was stuck on the ground. When the war horse collided, the spear head pierced the war horse's neck, piercing half of the war horse's neck.
The ragged Xiliang cavalryman who fell off his horse shook his dizzy head vigorously and got up from the ground.
There was chaos all around, the Yellow Turbans were dispersing, and no one noticed him.
The rumble of horse hooves approached, and the Xiliang soldiers who fell off their horses turned their heads to look, and saw the Yellow Turban cavalry approaching.
The Xiliang soldiers drew their swords in anger, dragged a broken leg, limped with the swords raised, and rushed towards the cavalry, shouting desperately for their lives.
Whoosh!
There was a sound of feather arrows flying, and a pop of arrows pierced the Xiliang soldiers' throats. The swords in the Xiliang soldiers' hands fell to the ground, and they subconsciously covered their throats. The sound of horse hooves approached, and a flash of bright sword light flashed, and the yellow scarf knight rushed towards him.
The body lowered, and then with a knife and a hug, the Xiliang soldier's head flew up from his neck, and the blood on the broken neck surged like a column.
boom!
More Yellow Turban cavalry came, and their horses hit the headless corpse of the Xiliang soldier, knocking the headless corpse to the ground.
The sound of horse hooves rumbled past, and the headless body was trampled by horse hooves one after another, and it was no longer shapeless.
After the Yellow Turban Cavalry had passed, after a long time, the defeated Yellow Turban Soldiers carefully turned back.
When the Xiliang soldiers charged in just now, many people in the Yellow Turbans were killed and wounded. The injured but not the dead were lying on the ground wailing.
The Yellow Turban soldiers began to fight for the dead man's relics. They took out pancakes from the dead man's arms and took off the tattered and blood-stained clothes from the dead man's body. When the Yellow Turban soldiers discovered the headless corpse of the Xiliang Army, it caused an uproar.
Cheers.
The headless corpse of the Xiliang soldier was trampled by the war horses, and the armor pieces on his body were crushed and messy. The strong yellow turban sergeant pushed others away and tyrannically wanted to take possession of the armor for himself.
The yellow scarf sergeant tried to take off the armor, but he pulled it a few times and couldn't pull it off. It would be difficult to pull it off without taking the dead man's hand out of the sleeve of the armor.
The yellow turban sergeant let go of the limp hand of the dead man, simply picked up the ax in his hand, spat in the palm of his hand, raised the ax high above his head, and chopped off the arm of the headless corpse with the axe.
The onlookers witnessed the bloody scene, but they were not afraid and were all watching.
One ax after another, more than twenty axes were chopped. The yellow scarf sergeant stopped and handed the ax to his right hand. He stepped on the chests of the four people with his feet and stepped on them hard. He bowed his head and grabbed the half-broken arm of the dead man and pulled it hard.
The bones were separated, and only a little bit of skin and flesh remained connected to the broken arm where the blood and flesh were blurred.
The yellow scarf sergeant picked up the ax and struck again, completely cutting off the headless Xiliangqi's arm from the upper arm.
He picked up the broken arm and threw it aside. The broken arm caused others to fight for it, because there was half a sleeve on top of the broken arm, and the sleeves were also made of fabric.
The Yellow Turban sergeant followed the same method, cutting off one arm of the headless corpse, then cutting off the other arm, and then reduced the headless corpse into a stick.
With no arms in the way, the yellow turban sergeant took off the armor from the headless corpse in a few clicks.
The armor was heavy in his hand, and the iron pieces made a clanking sound when shaken. The yellow scarf sergeant looked at the armor and was extremely satisfied, and then he directly put the dirty armor covered with blood and dust on himself.
The axe-wielding yellow turban sergeant took the iron armor and left. The other yellow turbans gathered around and fought for other useful things on the body. After a while, the body was torn into pieces.
Not even a piece of cloth or a rope was left on the corpse. The naked, headless corpse and other corpses were randomly dumped by the Yellow Turban Army on the roadside, and then walked away.
At the nameless crossing, the dust will soon cease. Horseshoes are imprinted on the dirt road. Blood is mixed with mud in the loess. After a long time, there is a sound of fluttering wings, black birds gather together, and the old stork arrives.
The Xiliang Jingqi that suddenly rushed in were divided and surrounded everywhere.
The Xiliang cavalry are brave and brave, and can break through the scattered formations of the Yellow Turbans' weak soldiers with ease. Even if they encounter the Yellow Turban cavalry, they can pierce through them with one blow.
However, Xiliang soldiers encountered frequent battles, and their manpower was lost in each battle. Only half a day and more than a thousand fine cavalry were left, with less than 500 remaining.
The Xiliang cavalry was in a bad situation. No matter where they went, they were blocked. They were blocked in the other direction. They broke through for a while, but not far away, there was another group in front of them.
A group of Xiliang cavalry was in disarray and running away in panic. Although this group of cavalry had been repeatedly damaged, there were still hundreds of them. One of the fattest cavalry members was Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo's face was covered with dust and he was in a state of embarrassment. He had just encountered ten intersections, and there were yellow scarves blocking the road at every intersection. He was trapped in a tight siege. Dong Zhuo had lost his position at this time and randomly found a road to the east, regardless of the paths along the way.
Escape.
