Chapter 248 Car Suspension
Zhang Jiao's heart is even more contradictory at this moment. In addition to the poison that besieged Guangping, the generals on his side were basically beheaded by Huang Zhong, and the remaining people seem to be a little disobedient. If they die, they can certainly consolidate his position, but there are basically no generals on his side. You know War generals are indispensable for marching to war. At this moment, Zhang Jiao is very depressed and has a headache.
"dai"
At this moment, only Huang Zhong shouted loudly, and a yellow scarf general fell off his horse, as if it were a corpse.
As the saying goes, taking advantage of your illness to kill you. At this moment, the remaining five yellow scarf generals on the field were already a little timid. As soon as they saw that another general was killed, they were in chaos. Several people did not care about Zhang Jiao's promise and ran to this battle. At this moment, the most important thing is to save their lives. What other generals' officials Job, go to hell.
As soon as Huang Zhong saw several people run away, he was immediately furious, but he did not catch up. He put down the big knife stained with blood in his hand, picked up the yellow Yang bow on the horse's back, took out three arrows, and shot at the five yellow scarf generals who fled.
All this is just a momentary thing, "Shuh", and three iron-headed arrows flew away with the momentum of Huang Zhong.
In just an instant, the three yellow scarf generals fell down. The two were shot in the back, and one was shot through the neck by an arrow from the back of the neck. Obviously, they could not die. At first sight, the other two were so scared that they were scattered and kept waving the whip in their hands, making the war horse rush to the front very quickly.
When Zhang Jiao saw it, he just frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. You know, it's a big enemy now. If you want to kill them, you have to wait until you defeat the enemy in front of you.
When Deng Zhan saw that three yellow scarf generals were killed by an arrow by Huang Zhong, he shouted good words, raised his big knife and said, "The tiger and leopard iron horse, invincible, rush."
Roar!!!
20,000 tiger and leopard iron knights roared, pulled out*, and quickly rushed to the opposite yellow scarf army.
Huang Zhong put down his big bow, picked up the big knife and rushed to the Yellow Turban Army. His eyes kept staring at Zhang Jiao, which was his prey.
"That, Han Sheng" Deng Zhan came to Huang Zhong and wanted to stop talking, which made Huang Zhong quite confused.
"General Deng has something to do," Huang Zhong asked with his head.
Deng Zhan smiled at him and said, "Brother Huang, if you killed more than a dozen generals Zhang Jiao, why don't you give Zhang Jiao to me?" After that, he smiled at Huang Zhong.
What's going on? Huang Zhong frowned. This corner was his prey, and Deng Zhan opened his mouth again. It was not easy for him to refuse. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
Seeing Huang Zhong's appearance, Deng Zhan didn't know what Huang Zhong meant. He immediately smiled and said, "Other way, let's hunt each other, and then we will rely on our own means."
Huang Zhong thought about it, and this was the only way. Previously, Deng Zhan did not hesitate to let him for a while. How could he be stingy? Even if you nod and agree.
"Okay, that's it." Deng Zhan smiled proudly and then rushed to the Yellow Turban Army.
At this moment, Zhang Jiao didn't know that he had been targeted by Huang Zhong and Deng Zhan. He secretly had a bad feeling, but he didn't know what was going on.
And those yellow scarf soldiers were very nervous and frightened to see the tiger and leopard riding towards them. They should know that their general was almost slaughtered by an enemy general, and their morale basically fell to the bottom.
As the saying goes, there is a bear and a bear. Now more than a dozen generals in their army have been killed by the enemy alone, and their morale has plummeted. Now it can be said that the army is lax, and the situation is extremely bad for the Yellow Turban Army and Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao was also anxious at first sight, but there was nothing he could do. Looking at his soldiers run around like headless flies, his hot little heart seemed to have been splashed with cold water.
"There are only 20,000 enemies, and we have 100,000 troops. They are definitely not our opponents. The armies are ready to let the enemy see the strength of our yellow scarf army." Suddenly, Zhang Jiao came up with an idea and shouted at the yellow scarf soldiers in front of him.
And he hid behind the army at the first time. According to his words, he was the commander of the Rebel Army. How could he be in danger? As the saying goes, a gentleman did not stand under a dangerous wall, so he found a reason for himself.
And the military lieutenants also got the order of Zhang Jiao and returned to the armies and shouted, "The great virtuous teacher has an order to reward 500 yuan, two catties of meat and a catty of wine for anyone who kills an enemy army."
The yellow scarf soldier listened to his captain's shouting and suddenly thought to himself that ten taels of silver could buy a lot of grain, as well as wine and meat. Suddenly, those ordinary soldiers had a trace of determination and had to fight for those rewards.
The yellow scarf soldiers who were originally panicked also gradually calmed down.
When Zhang Jiao saw it in the back, he couldn't help saying that it was dangerous. If he hadn't been in a hurry, he wouldn't have had to fight this battle, and now the situation seems to be developing towards the unfavorable side of the Youzhou army.
And Zhang Jiao didn't pay attention to those rewards. God knows how many people are still alive this time, and whether they can win or not. Now the most important thing is to stabilize the heart of the army. Obviously, he has done it, but the current yellow scarf soldiers seem to be holding on, as if they are doing in the so-called external force.
"Kill"
"Dad Da Da"
Horseshoes stepped on the ground, making a thunderous sound, sand and dust all over the sky, and indifferent faces appeared in front of the yellow scarf soldiers.
"Arrow"
Deng Zhan shouted.
Then 20,000 tiger and leopard iron riders took out the bow and crossbow at their waist and shot at the yellow scarf army.
"Sw"
Tens of thousands of arrows flew towards the Yellow Turban Army, which immediately caused a panic.
"Defense, quick defense, knife and shield hand, come forward, you must resist," a yellow scarf general shouted at the top of his voice. Unfortunately, as soon as he finished shouting, an arrow was inserted in his forehead.
A crossbow has ten arrows, and 20,000 tiger and leopard iron riders can shoot a total of 200,000 arrows. Thinking about the dense arrows like locusts makes people feel scalp numb, which is the reason why Li Zhong replaced the cavalry with a crossbow, which can kill the enemy to the maximum extent.
Now ordinary cavalry, especially exotic cavalry, still shoot with bows and arrows before charging. Generally, they can shoot three rounds of arrows before charging. Such cavalry is absolutely elite, and the nomads who grew up on horseback are naturally good at this field, and ordinary cavalry At most, only one or two rounds can be shot, and now Wuwan has been surrendered to Li Zhong, so Li Zhong's use of cavalry has been taken to a higher level to remove its dross and take its essence.
After shooting all the arrows, the tiger and leopard quickly hung the crossbow around his waist and rushed to the yellow scarf army in a conical array.
And the Yellow Turban Army was also heavily killed and injured under the arrows of the tiger and leopard cavalry. Basically, they are the front yellow scarf soldiers. The range of the crossbow is limited, so the overall record is not particularly satisfactory.
200,000 arrows shot more than 20,000 people of the Yellow Turban Army, and nearly 10,000 people were directly shot dead, and the remaining 10,000 people have basically lost their combat effectiveness.
The formation used is the car suspension created by Huo Qubing.
Car suspension is actually an enhanced version of the power of assault tactics, but it is much more domineering than assault, and it is not like a swarm of assaults. It pays more attention to the interval between the riders, (the use of front and back, left and right, weapons, and sometimes even the intention of pulling the horizontal spacing a little larger to make the enemy's gap. In order not to block the road of the former army, and leave the cavalry behind to clean up) is equivalent to a cavalry version of the cone array. The difference is that the width is larger and the depth is narrower.
Because the vehicle suspension array is not a formation in a strict sense (at least compared to the infantry formation, there is no effective cooperation between various arms and the impact tactics of pure cavalry), most of the soldiers in later generations do not think there is this array.
For example, (Zhuge Liang), (the author is unknown, and the book was written in the Song Dynasty) all have a balan attitude towards this array.
Personally, I think it still exists, but with the weakening of the Chinese cavalry, later generations can't feel its power.
And the biggest use of cavalry is basically frontal assault, long-distance attack, strategic encirclement, cutting off the enemy's back road, etc.
