The retreating Nanyang soldiers, as well as Xiao Yang and other officers in the army, began to see that the Yellow Turban Army, besides looking at the dust and sighing, became farther and farther away from them as they chased them. My mood suddenly calmed down and I felt relaxed. On the way back, they started talking and laughing.
Who knew the situation would change suddenly? The damn rebel army actually sent out cavalry. In the eyes of these Nanyang officers and soldiers who had pieced together things, fighting has always relied on two legs and two hands.
Cavalry, for them, the memory is relatively vague. Not to mention the average number of horses in a county's county soldiers. Even Nanyang County has only fifty cavalry. At the beginning, when General Xiao was still the captain of Xinye County, he didn't even have a horse.
However, a rebel army that had only been in rebellion for less than a month actually had so many cavalry and even chased them.
The Nanyang officers and soldiers who had just relaxed their brows frowned again, and their faces became serious.
Their brows were frowned so early without their boss's.
As soon as the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army moved, Xiao Yang and Zhu Shou, who were riding on their tall horses, had already noticed it. While retreating, Xiao Yang estimated the number of enemy cavalry. He saw that there were more than a hundred enemy cavalry chasing him.
At that time, Xiao Yang¡¯s heart jumped violently. Thousands of calculations are made, and only one thing is missed. It¡¯s hard to be kind today!
For hundreds of cavalry, relatively speaking, two thousand well-equipped officers and soldiers, no matter they put out their spears to resist the horses? Or set up a circular formation of swords and shields, with archers in the middle? They can all be dealt with easily.
It¡¯s just that what I want now is not to retreat and kill the enemy. With tens of thousands of enemy troops behind him, what he had to do was to lead this group of brothers to the place that had been arranged as quickly as possible.
The place where Liu Tang set up an ambush was four miles away. Don't know how far away you are from there? Taking stock of the surrounding environment, Xiao Yang found that the army was still more than half way away from where Liu Tang set up an ambush.
For two or three miles, everyone ran at full speed, which at least took three sticks of incense. But now, the rebel cavalry has chased them to the front, rear, and left. And he has been constantly harassing and restraining his soldiers.
The Nanyang soldiers who were eager to escape from here were no longer able to run with all their strength after being tortured by Du Yuan's cavalry, and their speed suddenly slowed down.
Xiao Yang¡¯s head was spinning. How should he deal with the rebel cavalry at this time? And let the large group of people escape here.
If a large group of people wants to escape, they cannot slow down and cannot get entangled with the enemy's cavalry.
But the enemy¡¯s cavalry is here to fight, so the only thing left is to repel the enemy¡¯s cavalry. Otherwise, wait until the enemy's elite infantry catch up. With these two thousand men under his command, there is even less hope for survival.
One cannot fight, the other has to run away. Xiao Yang felt that his head was about to explode.
More than a hundred Yellow Turban cavalry were divided into four teams, either in teams of twenty, thirty, or forty. On the way to escape, the officers and soldiers kept galloping back and forth, back and forth. While riding his horse at a gallop, he used his weapons to chop, stab and poke the officers and soldiers from time to time.
"But compared with the number of officers and soldiers, the number of cavalry rushed here by the Yellow Turban Army is too small. The Yellow Turban Army cavalry, which had a total of 200 cavalry, now only came with 130 cavalry.
Furthermore, in order to stop the majority of the officers and soldiers, these more than one hundred cavalry were divided into four teams. In this way, the number of people in each team will be even smaller.
What's more, they had just grabbed the war horses, and the cavalry they had assembled was less than a month old. Their riding skills really cannot be complimented.
Their riding skills were mediocre, and even they themselves felt a little ashamed of their ability to wield swords and guns while riding fast horses.
Therefore, although the enemy cavalry entangled the fleeing officers and soldiers, not many soldiers were injured in their hands.
Although there are not many brothers on the enemy riders in the copycat, Xiao Yang can no longer stand being pestered and dragged by them.
Xiao Yang couldn't stand it, and neither could Wenpin, who was at the forefront of the retreating officers and soldiers.
"Listen to the previous song, all the village commanders, lead the brothers and continue to sprint forward." Wenpin, with his beard and hair standing on end, roared and confessed. Suffering from the courage of an ambitious leopard, he clamped his legs slightly, waved a spear in his hand, and rushed towards the forty or fifty enemy cavalry in front of him.
Wenpin's mount raised up a bunch of yellow dust, and there was a clatter of hooves. Carrying Wenpin, who was sitting firmly on the horse, he rushed forward towards the fifty cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army.
"Wancheng Wenpin is here, who dares to fight to the death with me?"
Before the men and horses arrived, Wenpin's thunderous scoldings rang out among the thousands of troops.
That figure, the majestic posture of riding a horse and raising a gun, is like a god, deeply imprinted on me.It captured the hearts and minds of the Yellow Turban Army and officers and soldiers.
"Yes, that's it." Xiao Yang, who had been unable to find a way to deal with the enemy cavalry, his eyes lit up and he finally found a good way.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins. Today, let yourself show the momentum of Zhao Zilong and Zhang Yide in history. With a spear in your hand, kill it hard.
What¡¯s more, I also have fifty cavalry in my hands. Although a few people went to report the news, thirty or forty cavalry could still be gathered.
On horseback, Xiao Yang loudly ordered the guards to pass the order, telling the retreating infantry to ignore the chasing enemy cavalry and just rush forward with all their might. He also asked the commanders of each camp to take good care of the brothers under his command.
Xiao Yang raised his horse, raised his gun, patted the horse's neck, and without saying a word, he charged towards the enemy cavalry on the left.
At a distance of forty steps, the war horse had already rushed over in just one or two breaths.
"Go to hell", flicked the spear, and moved the spiritual python out of the hole. The tip of the iron spear was as fast as lightning, as fast as thunder, and like a bolt of lightning, it had pierced the neck of a Yellow Turban Cavalry.
The tip of the spear, which was sharpened before the army set out, only pierced three points into the blood vessel in the neck of the enemy horseman before it was pulled out by Xiao Yang, who turned to the left on horseback.
The lancer who was shot said "Wow-", before he could even shout out all the words, his throat was already filled with blood. The neck, mouth, nose, and eyes suddenly burst into bleeding.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As?another man slumps, his body falls off the horse. Only the rolling yellow dust on the ground and in the air was dyed bright red.
??Xiao Yang went from straightening his horse to the left, to the tip of his spear plunging into the enemy's cavalry, and then pulling out his spear when the horse turned sharply to the left. The whole process was so electric that it was dazzling. I still don't know what happened? After a successful blow, Xiao Yang's cold eyes finally showed a smile. Before the enemy rider could react and turn his horse's head, Xiao Yang rushed over again. The cavalry who were originally pestering and harassing the officers and soldiers were rushed by Xiao Yang. The momentum of the thirty cavalry on the left was greatly weakened. The horse's speed slowed down involuntarily.
