Chapter 15 Fierce Battle in Wancheng
Many defeated soldiers outside also ran to the gate of the camp, crying and trying to enter the camp.
However, some luck came out and followed Zheng Xiaoming's team to escape into the camp. Now those who escaped back are no longer likely to enter the camp.
Zheng Xiaoming sent crossbowmen to force the defeated soldiers to reorganize and prepare for battle outside the camp.
This is not his revenge, it is Qin Jie's order.
The reason is also very simple, because at this time, the Yellow Turbans had already defeated the private soldiers outside and their attention had begun to turn to the camp.
Open the door at this time, and it would be bad if the Yellow Turbans take the opportunity to rush in!
As long as they can defend the camp, soon Zhu Jun's troops in the north city and Xu Jun's troops in the southeast will come to help soon.
The army commanded by these two people is much stronger than Qin Jie!
Zhu Jun defeated the Yellow Turban thief Bocai troops in Yingchuan and other places, and his reputation shocked the world and was named a marquis.
But don't look at the Jingzhou Governor Xu Yu, who seemed to have little reputation in later generations, actually it was not. He was definitely from a general family. His father Xu Shu was a general who was too Liao, and the suppressed western Liao tribes did not dare to offend the border.
In this era, all kinds of knowledge are hidden in their own family and are unwilling to be spread. Those generals and families are also at a glance. All the abilities of marching and fighting are inherited from the family and have been learned since childhood.
Don’t think that he is the governor of Jingzhou, but he is the civil servant!
But then again, the Han Dynasty emphasized the importance of generals and ministers, and the division between civil and military officials was not very obvious.
Unlike later Ming dynasties, those civil officials had a good overall view of the situation, but their real ability to command troops was so poor.
Starting from Sun Chuanting, he only knew that he would only build a city and defend it without knowing the principle that he would lose it for a long time. He was in vain to lose national strength. He was the same as those civil servants in the Northern Song Dynasty. Well, later Zeng Shau, who was called a saint, also got the essence of it. It was called a hard village to fight a stupid war! Then he got the encirclement of Chang Guangtou, who had once shaved his head...
This governor Xu Xuan was still very capable and honest. He defeated the former prefect of Nanyang and the son and nephew of Queen Mother Dong. The guy embezzled and accepted bribes in Nanyang and made hundreds of millions of dollars in just a few years.
In short, Xu Yan did not disappoint his expectations. Zheng Xiaoming was still threatening the troops retreating outside the camp to regroup and rectify.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves sounded like thunder. A cavalry of the Han family came from the southeast, and his men and horses were like dragons, and they rushed straight to the Yellow Turban elite soldiers.
Although this cavalry is not large in number, it is only about 200, but its equipment is really good. Although it is not an iron cavalry equipped with the Han imperial guards, it is also quite resolute and brave. It is the iron cavalry recruited by Xu Yan's father in the border area.
Most of them are northern Han'er, and there are many Hu people from the border. Now under Xu Yan, they can be called a trump army.
At this time, there were insufficient saddles and few elite cavalrymen who could ride horses to fight.
However, these people are the few elites who can charge immediately now, not the kind of horse-riding infantry riding on horseback.
At this time, suddenly appeared and rushed to the Yellow Turban elite soldiers from behind.
If these Yellow Turban elite soldiers could form a formation, they would not be afraid of these cavalry rushing.
However, these Yellow Turban elite soldiers have not received much training at all, and they are blessed with spell effects. They are like wild beasts and have no formation at all.
Now he could not stop the cavalry rushing from the side, and hundreds of them were killed in a blink of an eye.
However, these cavalrymen were too small after all. After a rush, they did not dare to go deep into the waves. They quickly left and re-formed the formation, intending to find another opportunity to attack.
The Yellow Turban Commander in the city has no experience. He seems to be flustered when encountering such a thing and doesn't know what to do for a while.
It took me a long time to remember to gather the team and form a formation.
But it was originally a group of mobs, and with the violent spell effects, it was not easy to calm them down and gather the formation.
But at this time, with the arrival of the cavalry, the infantry under the governor of Jingzhou also arrived. Although the number was not large, there were two or three thousand, but they were all quite elite, with strict training and well-equipped regular troops.
Or the Han family... In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the number of regular troops was very small, and only the Luoyang Imperial Army belonged to the regular army.
Only county soldiers exist in the local area!
These county soldiers are also semi-professional troops, and belong to the category of militia where the whole people are soldiers... They are soldiers in wartime and farmers in leisure time.
However, since it is still in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the training of county soldiers can still be guaranteed in the afterglow of the classical **** era of total warfare. The various weapons and equipment in the arsenal are still complete.
When the governor of Jingzhou Xu Yu came to support, he mobilized some county soldiers from Jiangxia, Changsha, Wuling, Nanjun and other places in Jingzhou.
Now these infantrymen are a team composed of soldiers from various counties and counties in Jingzhou.
However, because the above-mentioned counties are located in the south and the economy is not developed, many county soldiers are only wearing leather armor, and the number of iron armor is much smaller, only half.
However, the bravery of these infantrymen is far greater than that of the Nanyang soldiers!
Especially when you can see that there are many barbarians with broken hair tattoos in this team, they should be the soldiers sent from Wuling and Nanjun.
These barbarian soldiers carried large shields, spears, and axes, and their bravery were no less than that of the Yellow Turbans.
Many barbarians rushed into the Yellow Turban Army without waiting for the cooperation of other troops and carried their shields.
However, what is better than these Yellow Turban Army, who have fallen into violence, is that these barbarians are good at hunting.
Although he is not good at large-scale formation battles, he is very skilled in teamwork and three or five people.
Especially they are good at using shields. They use three or five people to squeeze a Yellow Turban Army with their shields, and then slash them with spears and axes to kill them one by one.
The Yellow Turban Army fell into a violent state. Although its strength increased greatly, its obvious head was a little unsatisfied and could not cope with such a situation.
Fortunately, these barbarians should be Banyan, and the number is not too large, otherwise they will suffer even greater losses.
Of course, the one who poses greater threat to the Yellow Turban Army than these barbarians is the regular county soldiers under the governor of Jingzhou, because they are equipped with a large number of powerful crossbows.
The Han family was famous all over the world for their powerful crossbows and iron armor. The so-called Han Dynasty is the Five Barbarians because of this reason!
At this moment, these county soldiers equipped with large numbers of standard crossbows lined up in several rows, following behind the barbarians, constantly shooting crossbow arrows and killing the Yellow Turban Army.
For a time, both sides cooperated very well, and the cavalry next to them reorganized their positions and suppressed them on the side, ready to raid at any time. The elite Yellow Turbans on the Nancheng were in a mess.
The main reason is that when they were chasing the Nanyang soldiers, they had already run away. Without any military formation organization, they became a bunch of loose sand and could only be beaten.
