Chapter 1899 The sky is dead and the yellow sky does not stand
Runan.
Under the clear blue sky under the clear sun, more than 10,000 Yellow Turban soldiers spread out in a huge array. If you look at it from a distance, it seems a bit imposing, but when you get closer, you will see that these Yellow Turban thieves are ragged and even
There was no decent uniform at all, and even the yellow scarves tied randomly were mostly gray, black and dirty, just like the flags above their heads, dilapidated and dilapidated.
Standing on the hillside, Liu Pi looked into the distance. For a long time, he lowered his gaze, turned his head slightly, and looked at his men. They were all dirty and shriveled, with sallow faces and thin muscles, dirty and long beards and hair, and long weapons.
Short, even some dung fork and so on...
"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky is about to stand." It's like the strong wine brewed in my hometown, spicy but tasty.
The dream of the Yellow Turban sweeping the world was like a drunken state. When drunk, one would naturally sing and laugh, but after waking up, one would only feel tired and in pain.
Liu Pi also wanted to say that his surname was Liu, and he was also the queen of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, but no one endorsed him, so no one recognized him so far, just like no one recognized the Yellow Turban Thief back then.
Why?
Liu Pi still hasn't figured it out yet.
Liu Pi and Yuan Shu hooked up for a while, and it was okay at that time. Liu Pi also thought that he was on the right track due to luck, but later he discovered that Yuan Shu actually just wanted to use him. After all, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao fought against each other back then.
In the Runan area of Nanyang, some people support Yuan Shu, and naturally some people support Yuan Shao, and Liu Pi and Gong Du are the swords Yuan Shu uses to deal with these people who support Yuan Shao.
However, the good times did not last long, and Yuan Shu suddenly burst like a colorful bubble, taking with him the hope of clearing Liu Pi's name and falling into the abyss.
Because the Nanyang area in Runan has been corrupted for a long time, and neither Liu Pi nor Gong Du are good at managing people's livelihood, in fact, the farming and mulberry economy is very poor. Most of the time, they go to the wilds to collect, fish and hunt.
, living a primitive and helpless life.
The result is like this, still can't escape...
Only this time, it was not the Imperial Army soldiers and horses led by the majestic Fu Song of the Han Dynasty, but the subordinates of that hussar general.
"Unexpectedly..." Gong Du beside him frowned, "We were wandering in circles in the mountains, creating a maze of formations, and we were still able to be found... but we are really quite capable... What's that guy's name?"
"I don't know what Xu should be called..." Liu Pi looked at the smoke and dust gradually rising in the distance, and then gritted his teeth and said, "If you catch up, you will catch up, and we will just fight! Don't be afraid, there are many of us.
!After we defeat this guy, we will go over the mountain to the south to join Liu Jingsheng..."
"Liu Jingzhou..." Gong Du repeated in a low voice, and then sighed.
Liu Biao has always expressed his intention to surrender to Liu Pi and Gong Du, but Liu Pi and Gong Du have never made up their minds. After all, they heard that Liu Biao was old and frail, and if he surrendered, what if Liu Biao got kicked out the next year?
Of course, he also considered surrendering to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao seemed to look down on him and didn't send anyone to recruit him, so Liu Pi and Gongdu delayed it until today.
The smoke is getting closer.
The Yellow Turban soldiers below the hillside also began to stir. Some people couldn't help shouting loudly, and then the queue was shaken and scattered, "The Hussars of the Han Dynasty! The Hussars' soldiers and horses are coming!"
Liu Pi immediately yelled angrily: "What the hell! What's wrong with the Qiusi? It's not the same as having one head and two hands? Where are the big and small Qushuai? If anyone makes any more noise, he'll be chopped off!"
Gong Du looked at Liu Pi roaring from the side, but he sighed in his heart. Back then, the yellow scarf warriors were so majestic under the influence of heaven and earth, but now...
A tall knight in armor first appeared in the field of vision, then stretched out his arm and pointed towards it, as if he was arranging something.
Behind the tall knight, a recognition flag fluttered and trembled, with a big "Xu" character on it.
These are the men and horses of the Han hussar general...
This hussar general swept through the northern Guanzhong like a storm, and then put Li Guo and other ferocious Xiliang soldiers into submission. I heard that he even defeated Yuan Shao and suppressed Cao Cao so much that he did not dare to move...
If ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers could surrender to the Hussars, they would naturally have a better future, but for Liu Pi and Gong Du, it was indeed a dead end.
I heard that when the Han Hussars were still marching to the north, they killed all the leaders of the Baibo Army who surrendered, and later exiled all the leaders of the Black Mountain Army...
Before Gong Du could think any more, Liu Pi on the side had already pulled out his sword, raised it high and shouted: "Don't be afraid, no matter how strong the hussars are, they are still human! This guy despises our army, so he brought it with him."
There are two thousand men and horses, and there are twenty thousand of us! We are ten times as many as them! Ten times! Do you understand? These guys gave us their heads! Cheer up! There is a fart to be afraid of,
ah?!"
Gong Du took a look and sighed slightly. Liu Pi spoke with a good momentum. If his legs were less shaking, maybe the effect would be better...
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky must stand!"
Liu Pi didn't know what Gong Du was thinking behind him, so he let out a heartbreaking roar.
Following Liu Pi's roar, the chaotic war drums sounded, and then gradually merged together. The yellow scarf soldiers in the array also joined in unevenly, and finally gathered into a more uniform roar, "The sky is dead, Huang Tian is standing."
!』
Liu Pi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that success had inspired the weak morale that still existed.
When Xu Huang and Huang Zhong joined forces to attack the Runan area, both Liu Pi and Gong knew that something was wrong and they could not hold on.
Over the years, Nongsang has not recovered, let alone repaired the city wall. The dilapidated city wall is like a bunny girl's hole-in-the-wall costume. Not only can it not resist the invasion, but it is more likely to inspire the desire to attack...
So Liu Pi and Gong Du made a plan, and simply escaped from the shell, leaving some mess to Xu Huang and Huang Zhong, and then fled with relatively strong soldiers, but things did not develop as Liu Pi and Gong Du expected.
, although Huang Zhong stayed in Runan, Xu Huang pursued him.
But with just two thousand troops, do you want to defeat me?
A kind of anger also arose in Liu Pi's heart. This is too underestimated! But this is fine. No matter how the hussars and horses can conquer the battle, the disadvantage in numbers is real, and he just takes advantage of this God-given opportunity to gain as much as possible.
A small victory can boost the morale of his men and restore the decadent momentum during this period.
Thinking of this, Liu Pi once again reviewed his lineup and was convinced that his soldiers had prepared the best formation to fight against the hussars.
The entire formation of the Yellow Turban soldiers relies on the mountain. The front row is three rows of well-trained spearmen. After all, there are not many other soldiers in the Yellow Turban soldiers, but the number of spearmen is absolutely sufficient. As for some of the pikes among the spears,
Regarding the pitchfork, Liu Pi chose to ignore it.
Spears restrained cavalry. Even though Liu Pi had not learned any systematic military knowledge, he had gained some understanding over the years. If the cavalry were to attack the spear formation head-on, they would probably die horribly.
In order to prevent the cavalry from circling and attacking sideways, spear arrays were also arranged on both sides of the phalanx, but there were slightly fewer people than those on the front.
These spears, whether long or short, were pointed at the cavalry like hedgehogs, which seemed to make Liu Pi feel somewhat reassured.
Behind the pikemen in the front are a few archers.
Because arrows are also a consumable item that is difficult for both Liu Pi and Gong to produce, and not everyone can change their job as an archer, there are not many archers at the moment, and they are scattered here and there.
There are two or three rows. Although there are not many archers, Liu Pi does not expect to rely entirely on archers to kill the enemy. As long as he can slightly disrupt the pace and formation of the hussars and horses, he can give the front row of spearmen a certain
support is enough.
Behind the archers is the main force of the Yellow Turbans. They are mixed groups, all holding knives, guns and shields. Some of them are holding big yellow crossbows captured in the battle. These Yellow Turban soldiers are undoubtedly
Veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles have enough experience and are good at melee combat, so even if the hussars break through the front formation and reach the middle position, there is no need to be afraid. These experienced Yellow Turban veterans can also make these hussars eat.
No need to walk around.
Moreover, Liu Pi also has about 500 personal guards. These guards are truly equipped with battle armor. They are more elite and tough than ordinary yellow turban soldiers. They can go into battle at the most appropriate time at any time and display the performance of the hussars.
Unexpected effects of centaurs...
Faced with such a well-prepared and foolproof array in Liu Pi's eyes, the hussars in the distance seemed to be careless or simply disdainful. They did not adjust for a long time before a low horn horn sounded!
Liu Pi's heart couldn't help but feel high, this was the clarion call for the hussars to send out troops!
These guys are coming!
It’s coming for real!
"Stand still! Stand still!" Liu Pi shouted, "Stand still! Archers! Get ready!"
The hussars on the opposite side separated part of their body, and then began to move forward, and then followed, and it seemed that another part of them came forward slowly, but at a slightly slower speed...
"What are you preparing for?" Liu Pi stared, knowing that the person named Xu opposite must have a purpose for doing this, but for a moment he couldn't figure out what the purpose was.
The galloping war horses quickly shortened the distance between the two armies. Before Liu Pi could come up with a plan, he saw that the hussars at the front had already made an angle and were heading towards the left wing of Liu Pi and others' Yellow Turban formation.
Coming at a gallop.
This is also normal.
The frontal defense force was strong, which even a fool could see. The cavalry attacked the left and right wings first, which was also expected by Liu Pi.
"Well done!"
Liu Pi yelled, and then ordered the pikemen on the left wing to assemble and compress to resist the cavalry attack. He also transferred some people from the main force in the center to support him.
The greatest killing effect of the hussar horse.
However, Liu Pi did not dare to mobilize the spearmen array directly in front to turn, because Liu Pi was afraid that if the formation in front was rotated, cracks in the formation would appear due to the movement, exposing the joints.
The cavalrymen and horsemen were getting closer and closer, and the noisy hoofbeats were deafening.
Liu Pi stared wide-eyed, watching the hussars and horses getting closer and closer, and then suddenly found that there seemed to be something more on the sides of the approximately five to six hundred hussars and cavalry horses than ordinary cavalry, shaking up and down...
Quiver!
That’s an extra quiver!
"Not good!" Liu Pi shouted, "Archers come forward! Come forward! Shoot! Shoot!"
This group of hussars who were the first to rush out had no intention of charging directly into the formation, but wanted to use cavalry shooting to tear apart the formation and erode the overall morale!
Liu Pi stood at a high place and could naturally see more or less clearly, but the Yellow Turban soldiers arrayed below had extremely narrow vision among the crowd. He could only see the heads of the people in front, and at most he could see one or two more.
The lice and fleas were just crawling around, so when the hussars and horses began to mount and shoot, many Yellow Turban soldiers did not defend themselves accordingly...
The hussars mounted their bows and arrows uniformly, and fired continuously at the left formation of the densely packed Yellow Turban pikemen!
The arrows soared into the air and roared down amidst the sound of rolling horses' hooves!
I don’t know when the hussars and horses have changed from the longitudinal direction to the horizontal direction. Starting from the left wing, arrows rained down one after another, spreading all the way to the front array of the Yellow Turban formation...
The Yellow Turban Soldiers have no armor at all, and since they are all spearmen in front, there is naturally no shield. When arrows are thrown, as long as they are hit by an arrow, there will be a scream and blood spraying everywhere.
, the only thing we can rely on is the blessing of the God of Luck on the battlefield.
The archers Liu Pi ordered hurriedly fought back in a hurry. However, for the Yellow Turban soldiers, whose daily training was almost zero, shooting at fixed targets was more or less adequate, but moving targets such as hussars and horses were immediately exposed.
Due to its weakness, the arrows shot basically landed behind the horse's buttocks, as if the hussars were seeing off the horse for fun...
By the time the small leader of the Yellow Turban Archers realized something was wrong and ordered to adjust the angle, the hussars had already passed through the range of the Yellow Turban Archers and began to carry out long-range attacks on the Yellow Turban Soldiers in the middle. In desperation, the small leader could only
Let the archers move again and rush up to catch up.
The array of Yellow Turban spearmen standing in front of the central formation, because their view was blocked by their own people, so they only knew that a group of hussars were heading to the left, and then they came over not long after, with arrows raining down one after another.
As the screams continued one after another, a thought popped out: "What's wrong with our left wing? Isn't it possible to stop these cavalry at all?"
Hundreds of yellow turban spearmen were shot and fell to the ground screaming, causing chaos in the array.
However, the hussars did not stop because of this, but brought the roar of death all the way to the right wing of the Yellow Turban soldiers...
"Left wing! There are cavalry on the left wing!" Gong Du saw that Liu Pi's attention was also led by these hussars, staring all the way to the right, and even ignored the second group of hussars, and couldn't help but jump to his feet and yelled.
After almost all the attention of the Yellow Turban soldiers was drawn to the right wing, the second batch of hussars arrived!
broken!
Fell into a trap!
Liu Pi suddenly felt that his palms were covered in cold sweat. He felt that the hussars were definitely going to break through on the left wing, so he quickly ordered the soldiers in the center to rush to the left wing to set up defenses!
However, what Liu Pi and Gong didn't expect was that the second team of hussars did not charge directly into the formation. Instead, they took advantage of the gap where the Yellow Turban archers were mobilized to get close to the array of Yellow Turban soldiers, and then threw
He picked up black balls one by one!
"What it is?!"
Liu Pi's eyes widened, but the next moment there was an earth-shattering sound, like a thunderbolt from the blue, booming in the Yellow Turban array!
"Thunder! It's thunder!"
"They know magic, magic..."
If you pay careful attention, the actual lethality of the things thrown by the hussars is not much. Except for a few that happened to fall into the crowd and knocked down a few, the rest just breathed fire, listened to the sound, and watched the smoke.
, after all, how much gunpowder can be contained in a small jar?
If they were ordinary soldiers, they might still have some ability to think under the panic. However, these Yellow Turban soldiers basically did not have any decent training. Secondly, they had been brainwashed by the "Taiping Sutra" for a long time and formed a habit of thinking.
I have a set of inherent concepts of gods and ghosts. When I saw such a situation, the thoughts in my past naturally started to swirl, and I suddenly became an uproar, my legs were weak and my hands were weak.
The left wing suddenly collapsed!
Liu Pi realized something was wrong and turned back to Gong Du.
Gong Du was silent, nodded towards Liu Pi, turned around and walked down the hillside with an iron bar in his hand, then raised the iron bar in his hand high, "Kill! Kill up there!"
Neither Liu Pi nor Gong expected that the battlefield would collapse so quickly, but since the situation is now like this, there is no way out except to fight hard!
Blood splattered everywhere, and people fell on their backs.
Gong Du was more or less a veteran on the battlefield. He did not directly go up against the retreating crowd. Instead, he deviated slightly to get out of the way of the chaotic soldiers. He burst out in the crowd and swept across the oncoming soldiers with a stick.
On the hussars' hoofs, there was a "click" and the war horse's legs were broken!
The huge inertia caused the war horses and cavalry to fall over, while the Yellow Turban veterans following Gong Du howled and rushed forward, and blood sprayed out immediately!
Gong Du saw another opportunity and knocked another hussar off his horse with a stick. He bent down to avoid the two thrusting carbines, and then hit another hussar with an iron stick.
On the belly of a war horse...
One after another, the hussars were intercepted, and the momentum of the entire attack was temporarily suppressed. Liu Pi on the hillside finally relaxed a little, and loudly ordered people to go and collect the defeated troops, preparing to reorganize.
However, the next moment, the low trumpet sound, like the whisper of death, sounded on the battlefield again!
