Chapter 250 Raid
Yang Tian had other plans for Huang Zhong's future military arrangements. Although the wildebeest archer is also very perverted, it is impossible to form a large scale due to the wildebeest production restrictions, which is obviously not suitable for Huang Zhong's Lieyang archer. Conventional cavalry that can be formed on a large scale is more suitable for Huang Zhong.
After receiving the order, the Sunset Legion immediately escaped from the army and rushed towards the southwest. The other two armies also accelerated their march speed and quickly followed along the direction of the Sunset Legion leaving.
Then, the rear of the Yellow Turban Army was in great trouble. A strange cavalry followed closely behind and continued to shoot the Yellow Turban soldiers who fell behind from a long range. But if the Yellow Turban Army sent people to encircle, the opponent would immediately turn around and escape. This made the Yellow Turban Army unhappy.
At the location of the Yellow Turban Army, the group of people riding war horses were arguing about this matter at the moment. At the end of this group, the Flying God King rode on a horse dejectedly. He said that he had lost so much army. Even if he fled back to Zhang Jiao, his life would not be easy, and he had obviously lost Zhang Jiao's trust.
"Brother! I think we should speed up the marching and ignore the fleas behind us. Anyway, they only talk about thousands of people like this, and they can only kill 10,000 or 20,000 of us in a day. Moreover, the soldiers behind the palace are already insignificant and useless. After we destroy the dog thief Huangfu Song, we will return to the army to deal with these fleas, and we will not be afraid of delaying too much time." A general wearing armor and holding a long-handed hammer loudly to the sorcerer walking in the center with a sky-summer and a seven-section scepter. There is no doubt that this sorcerer is the Heavenly General of the Yellow Turban Army and the Great Sage Zhang Jiao.
"The third brother's words are bad. If we keep not caring about the cavalry, the morale of the rear army may have collapsed, then it would not be a matter of tens of thousands of people." Another general holding a sharp spear said. I think this person is Zhang Jiao's second brother Zhang Bao, and the person who first talked was the third brother Zhang Liang.
Hearing Zhang Bao say this, Zhang Liang said, "Second brother, you are not unaware of the cunning cavalry. When we discovered this army before, we had already asked Du Yuan to send light cavalry to encircle it now. Now there is no news. The damn cavalry is back. I think Du Yuan has already suffered. Based on this, it is estimated that the other side must have more than three thousand cavalry. If we send a large number of troops to encircle it, it will inevitably delay the opportunity to wipe out Huangfu Song's army. If Dong Zhuo also arrives in Jizhou at that time, it may be difficult for us to deal with it."
Zhang Bao said, "We don't need to chase and suppress. The other party chases so tightly, just send elite forces to ambush the two sides of the official road and lay pockets. After our army passes, the other party will naturally fall into the trap."
Zhang Liang was about to argue again, Zhang Jiao said calmly: "There will not be too many troops hidden in the dark, otherwise they will fight to the death with us. However, according to our information, we have not heard of such strange archers in this area. And if I guess correctly, the other party should have a flying mount, so we can know our actions very well. In this situation where the enemy is dark and we are bright, we can no longer rush to dispatch it. Just send 17th-level heavy shield soldiers behind the palace! Avoid being massacred by the other party too many soldiers."
Zhang Bao's general Zhou Cang asked for an order: "Myster, my subordinates asked for an order to lead the army to intercept the enemy!"
Zhang Jiao immediately promised that among all the Yellow Turban Army, Zhou Cang's military force was only ranked behind Guan Hai, and he was the well-deserved backbone of the Yellow Turban Army. He was fully responsible for such a task.
Then Zhou Cang ordered the generals of the army and rushed towards the rear...
Zhang Jiao's move is indeed effective. The bows and arrows of the Sunset Legion have almost no use in front of the thick steel shield. In addition to shooting, each round of attacks can kill a few unlucky guys, it wastes a lot of arrows in vain.
Fortunately, Huang Zhong and several other generals were very powerful. Even the strong steel shields were unable to block the arrows they shot. Especially Huang Zhong's aura arrows were simply to deal with heavy shield soldiers. If one arrow passed, at least two heavy shield soldiers would die. If the aura arrow had not cooled for a long time, Huang Zhong would probably have killed the Yellow Turban heavy shield soldiers and fled in fear.
After several attacks, the effect was not good, and Sun Miao was convenient for Huang Zhong to discuss.
Huang Zhi suggested that the lord be transferred to the Qinglong Legion, and the heavy cavalry is undoubtedly the most capable of restraining the heavy shield soldiers.
However, in order not to make the Yellow Turban Army suspicious, they continued to attack the heavy shield soldiers led by Zhou Cang.
The Yellow Turban Army was still moving forward. Although many heavy shield soldiers were left behind along the way, the impact on the morale of the army was not very big. At least the ordinary soldiers did not think that the commander had abandoned them and did not regard them as cannon fodder.
Zhou Cang followed the army immediately. Although his subordinates were carrying heavy shields, they were always on guard against the Sunset Legion behind them and could not march at full speed. But after all, they all had the strength of seventh-level soldiers, and the marching speed was far higher than that of ordinary fourth-level soldiers, so there was no need to worry about falling behind.
Although Zhou Cang was annoyed by the constant harassment and attacks of these archers, he also knew that even if he chased him, he would probably only have to eat dust and defend honestly so that he would not be beaten too much.
However, he was also very curious. After half a day passed, the other party only caused more than a thousand casualties to him. It was irrelevant to the entire Yellow Turban Army. But the other party was still happy with this meaningless battle, and I don’t know why it was for.
In the evening, when the army had just passed by a mountain, Zhou Cang suddenly found that the other archers stopped shooting and moved aside to both sides. When he thought the other party was finally exhausted and was about to stop and rest, Zhou Cang suddenly heard a dull sound of hooves from behind, and was approaching here at an extremely fast speed.
Zhou Cang's brows frowned tightly, and immediately ordered to be on guard. At the same time, he sent a messenger to report to Zhang Jiao.
After a long battle, he could clearly tell that the sound of hoofs was not caused by ordinary cavalry, and it was definitely a heavy cavalry. He also knew that it was not a wise choice to resist the heavy cavalry with heavy shield soldiers, but at this moment his back was the Yellow Turban Army, and his strength was very low. If these people were to stop the heavy cavalry rushing over, the damage would probably be even heavier. Zhou Cang was a strong man, so he naturally would not retreat in the face of the battle and expose his robes to the enemy's butcher's knife.
Soon, the ground began to tremble, and countless cavalry riding huge rhinos appeared in Zhou Cang's vision. The cavalry, led by two generals, rushed straight towards the Yellow Turban Heavy Shield soldiers behind the hall. The two generals were Yang Tian and Daniu.
At the same time, a general in the group of archers rushed out in an instant and rushed forward side by side with the two generals. This person was Huang Zhongkou, the deputy general of the Sunset Legion. Although Huang Zhong, known as the God of Arrows, he was not only able to shoot arrows, but his sword skills were also extraordinary. How could Yang Tian not use such combat power?
Zhou Cang was stunned when he saw the huge horns with cold light on the heads of the rhinoceros. Can his heavy shield soldiers resist these rhinoceros cavalry? Let’s talk nonsense!
"Rise the shield! Get ready to attack!" Zhou Cang gave the order helplessly. As a heavy shield soldier with only the weapon of heavy shield, in the face of such a situation, there is no other way except to give up the defensive effect of the shield and use it to attack the opponent. Can you still set up a shield to defend?
The two armies rushed together in an instant, and several heavy shield soldiers at the front were immediately knocked out with their people and shields. The transparent hole in the shield showed the great destructive power of the impact that moment.
Zhou Cang is worthy of being a first-class historical general. When an iron-armored rhinoceros cavalry rushed towards him, he shouted: "I, Zhou Cang, are here, please come!" After that, he slashed at the iron-armored rhinoceros cavalry, and the iron-armored rhinoceros cavalry was immediately split into two halves, but Zhou Cang was unable to continue to show his power, so he was found by Huang Zhong who was rushing in front.
Zhou Cang, who had never met an opponent since the battle with the imperial army, felt that his strength was so low for the first time. He had only fought with Huang Zhong for three moves and was in danger.
"Hansheng, catch the live..." Yang Tian was shocked when he heard the name of Zhou Cang, fearing that Huang Zhong would slash the other party with one knife, so he immediately gave an order to Huang Zhong.
Yang Tian danced wildly with the Shocked Spike in his hand. Those ordinary steel shields were no different from those made of paper under the Shocked Spike. Moreover, as generals whose military power values reached a must-have, these ordinary seventh-level soldiers had no one-in-one enemy at all.
In a moment, ten thousand shield soldiers were washed away, with countless casualties, most of whom were trampled to death by iron-armored rhinoceros, which was extremely frustrated.
At this time, Zhou Cang was ultimately defeated by Huang Zhong and was knocked down by Huang Zhong. Then Huang Zhong drove him forward and stopped him. After knocking him out with one knife, he threw him to a senior general who followed him.
Yang Tian did not arrogantly sage his 10,000 shield soldiers strangled the opponent, and immediately asked Daniu to order the entire army to retreat. When Zhang Jiao led the eighth-level Yellow Turban Soldiers to the battlefield, the Qinglong Legion had already disappeared, and even the Sunset Legion, which had been following the Yellow Turban Soldiers, slipped away together.
Seeing a messy battlefield, there were broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, blood was everywhere, and occasionally one or two heavy shield soldiers were lying on the ground and moaning, but the blood foam kept coming out of their mouths showed that these people were about to return to the underworld, and Zhang Jiao's anger rushed straight into his forehead!
Just as he was about to order the army to pursue, the King of Feitian said weakly: "Master, when the disciple heard the soldiers of the army just now, he knew that this was done by a heavy cavalry riding a rhino. The situation described by him was exactly the same as the Baiyun City Legion that his disciple encountered in Shuining County, Yangzhou."
Zhang Jiao looked at him coldly and said, "Do you think this is done by the army of Baiyun City? The archers and cavalrymen before were also the army of Baiyun City?"
