Chapter 2781 The Yang family had no choice but to build a wall, but Huang Zhong broke through the military barrier with one arrow
His eyes returned to the Heluo area.
Luoyang area.
The two teams collided fiercely, their weapons clashing with each other and sparks flying across the sky.
Next to Wang Chang, the neighing of horses, the sound of swords and guns piercing flesh, and the dull sound of people exhaling their last breath seemed to blend together. Shadows of people and horses were swaying around, blocking Wang Chang's sight, but he still knew what was ahead of him.
Reinforcements were coming, and these noisy and chaotic sounds did not make him panic much.
The cruelty of the cavalry battle broke out almost instantly.
Because both sides are moving at high speed, the battle is not like going back and forth on the ground for several rounds. Basically, life and death are decided when they meet. The one who survives sits on the horse, and the one who dies is
Under the hooves of a horse, once the horse cannot sit firmly and falls under the horse, death is almost certain...
"To the west! To the west!"
"Go forward! Go forward!"
Wang Chang knew that his martial arts would not be of much help in the battle, so the only thing he could do was to hold the horse's neck tightly, reduce the chance of injury as much as possible, and then strive to the west, because that
That's the direction of home.
In the collision of iron and blood, the battle did not last long. Xiahou Shang's level was basically equivalent to that of a crispy person who would be instantly killed by anyone he met, so Xiahou Shang did not dare to rush forward at all. Naturally,
Zhu Ling, who had two brushes, couldn't stop him. Although the number of Cao's cavalry was not small, when Zhu Ling led his troops to charge, they were shattered into pieces. Then Zhu Ling did not fight, and held him hostage.
After wrapping up Wang Chang and others, they left.
The soldiers of Cao's army roared and chased forward for a while in a pretentious manner, and then withdrew the army...
Xia Houshang was very angry.
Nine points are for others, and one point is for himself.
While turning around in despair, Xiahou Shang saw at a glance the Yang soldiers on the city wall in the distance who seemed to be laughing and joking.
Sometimes people's sixth sense is very strange. Even though they are far away, they seem to be able to understand what those people are doing...
Yang Xiu has no generals under his command, so he has to do everything by himself.
Before he became a leader, he thought that a scholar could understand everything, understand everything, and guide the country. But when he actually did it himself, Yang Xiu realized that there were many things that he couldn't do.
It was almost universally acknowledged that the Hussars were very powerful, and Yang Xiu felt jealous after seeing it. However, he wanted to have such an army that could fight, but found it extremely difficult. Fei Qian had several generals under his command.
As if Heluo was regarded as a land of peace, and they could come and leave as they pleased, the Heluo Yang's Army could hardly maintain its last bit of reputation.
Although things like military morale are invisible and intangible, they can actually affect the soldiers. It is not unreasonable for later generations to call this the military soul, because things like the soul are also invisible.
It can't be touched, but if a person has no soul, he is confused and does not know life or death.
Just like this time, Zhu Ling led his troops to defeat Xiahou Shang's pursuers, while the Yang army on the city wall stood crowded at the battlements, looking at the distance outside the city.
In the battle scene, you can hear the faint sounds of shouts and collisions, and then everyone has different expressions.
"Come here, dear, this is the Hussars! Look, Cao's army still missed. He was beaten so hard that he almost peed!"
"Cao's army is in chaos, chaos! If we take the opportunity to rush out, at least three or five of them will come back with their heads!"
"Have a dream about you being a pickle! I still have three or five heads to pay for it. Do you, the pickle, have another gambling debt? Even three or five heads are not enough for you to pay back!"
"It's nothing to worry about! It's just money, it's a trivial matter!"
A large group of Yang soldiers gathered around the battlements in small groups, laughing and watching, as if they were watching a big show.
It's a big show indeed.
He failed to catch up, but instead lost more than 20 cavalry. It is certainly impossible to say that it did not affect the morale of the army at all. This also made these Cao cavalry, who were known as the great victory in Youbei, calm down a little and understand themselves.
There is still some distance between them and the cavalry under the Hussars.
It's quite a gap.
Maybe for one-on-one, the difference is not very big, but when put into a group, plus the generals...
This is actually normal. Supporting cavalry has never been a simple matter. The places where the Han Dynasty produces horses are basically in the hands of Fei Qian. Cao's army only has horses in Youbei, but regardless of quantity and quality,
None of them can compare with the Xiliang horses among the hussars. Not only did Cao's army have to work hard to get horses from Youbei, but they also needed to spend money on training. At the same time, Cao's army did not have suitable cavalry generals to set up a complete cavalry.
In addition, it is not as simple and efficient as the hussars. The cost of training a cavalry is two or three times higher than that of Fei Qian, but the effect is only 70 to 80%.
If there is no comparison, of course there is no harm.
When Xia Houshang led the Youbei cavalry, he still thought it was good. However, when he met the hussar cavalry, he felt that his horse was a bit shorter, the armor was a layer thinner, and the combat skills were a bit slower. Everything seemed to be wrong.
A little shorter, a little missing...
But just go back in such despair?
Do you want to pursue it again?
Can't beat it.
Or else go back and capture and kill Wang Chang’s deputy?
But this can't cover up the fact that he failed in chasing Wang Chang. He clearly caught up with him, but was defeated. There is no way around it!
Deputy Wang Chang naturally turned around to catch him, but now he had to catch up with him first, but he couldn't help but find a way to explain it!
These days, no matter what happens, there must be an explanation.
If you can't catch up, of course it's not your fault, but...
Xiahou Shang reined in the reins, and the horse snorted dissatisfied.
"General, what are you...?"
"Ah?" Xiahou Shang's men didn't quite understand.
"Oh shit! Go quickly!" Xia Houshang shouted angrily.
Cao Jun's cavalry immediately separated into three or five men and rode towards the city.
The Yang family's troops are mainly concentrated in the city and are held hostage by members of the Yang family.
Not surprisingly, the Yang family rejected the request of Cao Jun, that is, Xia Houshang.
How could Yang be willing to participate in such a thing?
But Xia Houshang was not disappointed. Instead, he burst out laughing. Then he called several mid-level military schools, gathered together, and said in a deep voice: "Remember them all. This is what happened... When we catch up,
, found that the Hussars had already been supported, and we were weak, so we temporarily asked the Yang family to borrow troops. As a result, the Yang family had ulterior motives and refused to let us in. In desperation, we had no choice but to pursue on our own, but due to lack of troops
, it’s a pity to lose in battle..."
After saying that, Xia Houshang looked around, "Do you understand? Are you all clear? If you are still unclear, please check it quickly. The point is that the Yang family does not borrow troops. We have fewer people to fight with more people, so we cannot pursue them!"
"I understand! Yang has no good intentions!"
"Yes, the Yang family is probably colluding with Qiaoqi!"
"Yeah! We are small in number, but the general still pursues bravely. How courageous this is!"
……(●｀●)……
A group of people and horses walked forward along the road.
Peng Yue followed Huang Zhong and asked in a low voice: "General Huang, we...are we going to take these people?"
"Heh..." Huang Zhong smiled, "These are just the right number of people. Don't worry about Yandu."
Peng Yue nodded slightly awkwardly.
After Peng Yue put on the equipment of the Han Forbidden Army, he passed the military checkpoint at Bowang Slope almost smoothly. On the one hand, it was because of the equipment of the Han Forbidden Army, and on the other hand, Peng Yue was a man and a horse, and he and Bowang
The warning received by Pojunzhai did not comply with the warning, so Cao Jun, who was on duty at Bowangpo, did not raise enough vigilance.
Of course, now Peng Yue had naturally replaced the equipment of the Han Dynasty Imperial Army, and instead wore a set of standard armor of the Hussars.
Nowadays, because of General Fei Qian, the use and equipment of the cavalry has almost reached its peak in history. It is no wonder that Huang Zhong and other generals have strong confidence.
There were probably three periods when the Chinese cavalry was strongest in history. One was the Weihuo period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, and the other was the period of Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty. However, among these three periods, only the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was the strongest.
It is worthy of its name. The cavalry during Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty were unparalleled in terms of equipment level and logistical support capabilities.
The cavalry in the era of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty could be said to be both far and near. Not only did they have advanced weapons, but they were also all equipped with cavalry crossbows and armor. The overall number reached 80,000 at its peak.
In Chinese history, it was only at this time that such powerful equipment was available. Although the Han armor was indeed not as good as the Mingguang Armor of the Tang Dynasty, the cavalry crossbow was indeed outstanding. Even if the cavalry crossbow was not used, the other equipment would have no impact on the surroundings.
The grassland peoples are also in a state of being completely crushed.
In Chinese history, it was difficult for cavalry to develop, mainly for three reasons. One was that horses were not good enough. The Central Plains was very short of horses. Taking the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty as an example, horses over 1.2 meters tall were classified as military horses. It can be seen that at that time, there were
What a lack of horses...
In order to change this situation, the Han Dynasty began to encourage private horse breeding during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and introduced fine war horses from the Western Regions, and then improved and bred them. This kind of breeding work reached its peak until the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.
Then, he was "cut down" by some people. The reason is very simple. On the one hand, Ma Zheng has many shortcomings. Are the Chinese people smarter? Think about the temporary workers in later generations who are crookedly wearing tiger skins.
It becomes clear. On the other hand, horse administration is also a burden that weighs on the large local households. The more property there is, the more war horse indicators there are, which will inevitably arouse strong opposition from the local gentry.
The second is that people are not good at it. But people are not good at it, mainly because of the lack of horses. Because there are no horses, it is impossible to ride a horse. The cavalry only starts training when they join the army, and in the absence of effective drills, the general cavalry training speed is very fast.
It is very slow, and it often takes three to five years to form combat effectiveness. During the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, due to the sufficient cavalry establishment of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the training of the cavalry was not interrupted, and a step-by-step system was maintained. Therefore, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty
The cavalry during that period were well trained and had rich combat experience.
The third is the logistics and weapons industry. During the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, in order to compete with the Xiongnu, the Han Dynasty had established a series of weapons arsenals to equip the cavalry with cavalry crossbows. This allowed the cavalry to shoot with a range of up to 200 steps and an accuracy of
The top is also much higher than ordinary bows and arrows. This makes the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty the only period in history when the Central Plains Dynasty ravaged the nomadic tribes in the grasslands.
This is how one man stands up to five barbarians...
It’s something that’s achieved through hard power, not through bragging.
Just like Huang Zhong's current reputation in Runan, it is also earned through hard work.
The reason why Huang Zhong did not lead a large force was because, on the one hand, after the last Pang Tong incident, Cao Ren and Cao Zhen increased the number of scouts in Wancheng to report Huang Zhong's movements at any time. It was easier for a small force to deceive others.
With hundreds of people, it's basically impossible to hide the truth from those informants.
The key is that these Cao Jun's scouts may not really be professional scouts. There are many or even ordinary people who can sell Huang Zhong's information for a few dollars...
Because the current Wancheng is a commercial city. This has been established since the reconstruction of Wancheng. The commercial atmosphere is so strong that everything can be bought and sold.
At Bowang Slope, because the last time Huang Zhong passed by it like shopping, it was "painted with feces on the wall", so he put a lot of effort into it, not only setting up more barriers on the road, but also setting up more barriers on the road.
And a lot of traps were added, just like in later generations, people died in a traffic accident in a certain area, and then dozens of speed bumps were nailed on the road...
This is like saying that speed bumps are the main factor causing traffic accidents. Without speed bumps, the accident coefficient increases. With speed bumps, traffic accidents can be reduced. Adding a dozen more speed bumps can greatly reduce the probability of traffic accidents.
Same.
If this is really the case, then why not nail speed bumps every three or four meters on all roads across the country? Wouldn't this mean that there would be no traffic accidents across the country? Wouldn't it be beautiful?
The same is true for the military stronghold in Bowangpo today, with large and small horse-blocking and pitted horse-trapping pits, as if this can stop Huang Zhong...
Huang Zhong squinted his eyes, stroked his beard, then turned his head slightly and commanded, "Bring out the general's flag!"
The general flags include the commander's flags used in the central army's tent, and there are also portable flags.
Following Huang Zhong's instructions, one of his personal guards immediately pulled out the flag from his arms, then put a set on his spear, and then raised it high...
There was a sudden chaos in the Bowangpo military camp.
Seeing Huang Zhong's flag, Cao Jun, who was on duty at Bowangpo, suddenly felt as if his heart had broken several times, his nose was sore, and he almost cried.
God, why is this evil star coming again?!
The head of his former boss who had just been executed in anger by Cao Zhen was still hanging on a wooden stake in front of the military camp!
"The song is long! The song is long! That...that is here again!"
"I saw it!" Commander Cao Jun gritted his teeth, "Be on guard! The whole army is on guard, we can't... we can't let him pass!"
If Huang Zhong is allowed to go through this again...
The new music director doesn't want his head to be in the company of his former boss.
Huang Zhong led the people and slowly stepped forward.
A stone's throw away.
The Cao soldiers at the checkpoint in the military camp all had serious faces, some were holding knives, some were holding spears, and many Cao soldiers had their bows and arrows mounted, as if they were ready to shoot at any time.
On the other hand, everyone on Huang Zhong's side looked relaxed.
Except Peng Yue.
Peng Yue was beside Huang Zhong and couldn't help but become a little nervous when he saw such a situation.
Huang Zhong seemed to have noticed Peng Yue's nervousness, so he smiled and said, "Don't pull the reins so hard, or you may startle the horse. If it really falls into a pit, it will be hard to repair the holes in your body!"
There are small and large horse traps.
A small one is just a fall. A large horse trap usually has sharpened bamboo sticks or wooden stakes set up inside it. Once it falls, there will basically be several holes.
Huang Zhong seemed to be teasing, but Peng Yue did not relax completely because of this. Because Peng Yue originally thought that if Huang Zhong came with a large army, wouldn't everything be simple? In the end, Huang Zhong brought more than twenty people.
.
"I'm going hunting in the east! Move away from the horse!" Huang Zhong said loudly.
Cao Jun Qu's face turned dark.
Last time Huang Zhong "hunted", he didn't know exactly what he hunted. He just knew that his former boss was dead, and now Huang Zhong came to "hunt" again...
Commander Cao Jun really wanted to shout at Huang Zhong, "Master Huang! Look at the specific prey you want. I will send people here to hunt and deliver it to you every day, okay? Please don't come!"
But in front of everyone, Cao Jun's commander couldn't shout like that, so he had no choice but to stand up, clear his throat and shout loudly, "There is an order! This place is forbidden..."
Before Cao Junquzhang finished shouting, Huang Zhong stretched out his hand to his side, and in a blink of an eye, he opened his bow and drew an arrow. It seemed that he didn't even take aim, and just shot an arrow!
The long arrow seemed to teleport, disappearing from Huang Zhong's long bow, and when it reappeared, it had already nailed Cao Jun's long bow directly to the wooden stake!
Cao Junqu's eyelids rolled up and he collapsed_(:з」∠)_...
There was a commotion in the military camp and checkpoints. Cao Jun started making noises. Some archers of Cao Jun couldn't help but shoot at Huang Zhong and others. However, their bow power could not compare with Huang Zhong's. The arrows fell on Huang Zhong one after another.
In front of Zhong and others, it was stuck crookedly on the ground.
"Hahaha! I shot you this time, but I won't be merciful next time!" Huang Zhong put down his long bow, slightly stroking his beard, and said loudly, "It's just hunting, why is it like this?!"
Although Huang Zhong lowered his bow temporarily, Cao's soldiers all knew that Huang Zhong might raise his bow again at any time.
In addition to the long bow in Huang Zhong's hand, Huang Zhong's men also seemed to have taken out some thunderbolts, showing some smiles that made Cao's soldiers tremble.
Cao Junqu touched his forehead for a long time, and then managed to stand up with the help of others. Although his legs were unavoidable, he was still shaking a little, but at least he was not scared to the point of peeing...
Huang Zhong waved his hand and signaled to his men, "Move away from the horse!"
Several of Huang Zhong's personal guards stepped forward and arrived in front of the Juma in the middle of the road in front of Cao Jun. Then they jumped off their horses and began to move the Juma.
The soldiers of Cao's army wanted to stop him, but they didn't dare. Then they stretched their heads to look at their own troops.
Cao Jun Qu Chang touched his forehead, his face turned blue and white. He opened his mouth several times and felt the cold and biting coldness on his back, but he couldn't make any sound.
Do you really want to risk your life?
The soldiers of Cao's army at the checkpoints in the military stronghold are just county soldiers drawn from the ground in Nanyang, not elite private soldiers under General Cao's army. For them, being a soldier is more about making a living.
Everyone is just trying to earn a living. If you rush to death, you may not even get a pension. If you accidentally become hemiplegic, become disabled and then retire from the army, you may not even be able to eat. This...
You look at me, I look at you.
Everyone is smart and hopes that the fool will go first, but after the fool dies, there will be no more.
I didn't choose to take action at the beginning, but it became more and more difficult later on.
After all, Huang Zhong shot him down with an arrow before he could even muster the courage to do so...
Until Huang Zhong's men moved away the horses and the group passed the checkpoint, the commander of the Cao army did not dare to issue any orders. When Huang Zhong and his party were far away, the commander of the Cao army wiped the sweat from his forehead and said dumbly.
He said in a loud voice: "You guys come here... remember, they... took a mountain path... did not pass here... understand? If anyone leaks, I will take your back before I die!"
