In ancient wars, there was no communication equipment. The further the distance between troops, the more difficult it became to communicate with each other. To transmit an order or message, it was okay if the distance was short, but if the distance was long,
It's simply a nightmare. Sometimes, the timeliness of orders or messages has expired even before they are delivered.
Therefore, there is a saying that many generals like to say: "You will not accept your orders."
But this sentence also needs to be divided into some situations. The so-called "lord's order" means that when the general discovers a fighter plane, he does not have to ask the monarch for permission to send troops first. Instead, he can send troops directly according to the changes on the battlefield. It does not specifically refer to
You don’t have to listen to the king’s orders…
If a general keeps this sentence on his lips every day, then even if he wins, I believe he will no longer have to "accept" any orders from the emperor in the near future.
Just like now, Xu Huang doesn't have to ask Fei Qian for instructions. Are the words of the shouting soldiers sent by the Hu people true? Are the troops in the front really wiped out? What's more, there are nearly 10,000 cavalry in the front.
How strong does a group of people need to be to be able to surround tens of thousands of people without leaking anyone?
Xu Huang snorted coldly, and then said: "Get the bow!"
Immediately, a soldier handed over Xu Huang's bow and arrow.
Xu Huang drew his bow and arrow, aimed at the Hu Qi who was shouting in front of the formation, shot out an arrow, and immediately knocked him off his horse. The remaining two Hu Qi were so frightened that they quickly turned their horses away, immediately attracting attention from his side.
A burst of cheers from the soldiers.
You must know that Xu Huang wields a battle ax and his arm strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people. These Huqi are just outside the reach of ordinary soldiers, but they are still within Xu Huang's personal shooting range.
Xu Huang took the opportunity and shouted in a deep voice: "It's ridiculous for these stupid people to implement shallow strategies! Come on! Beat the drums! Let the Yong'an camp go to war!"
The rumble of the war drums suddenly sounded, and Xu Huang sent out the soldiers from the Yong'an Battalion that he had personally recruited, and formed a formation in the open space in front of the camp.
In the large tent in the middle of the army, Fei Qian was sitting on a bench. When he heard Huang Xu at the entrance of the tent saying that Xu Huang had sent out the Yong'an camp, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Although the quality of Yong'an Camp's soldiers is pretty good, they are newly recruited soldiers after all. How can they be easily sent to the front of the formation instead of being placed in the camp and relying on the walls to resist?
Is Xu Huang so confident in his own army?
Or is there any other intention?
Fei Qian stood up, frowned and thought for a moment, then sat down again, shook his head and smiled.
Since Xu Huang was said to be responsible before, he cannot overthrow it rashly now. At least he must wait and see...
Xu Huang waited silently in front of the camp for a while, and saw that Fei Qian's soldiers of the Chinese army had not moved. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Drumming! Invite to fight!"
At this time, Zha Tiansheng outside the camp observed carefully for a while, suddenly burst into laughter, pointed at the Han troops in formation and shouted: "Look! Look! These are Han people! Han people who can't even hold weapons!"
After all, Yong'an Camp is still a new recruit. Many soldiers did not expect that they would directly face the attack of Hu Qi for the first time in battle. Without the support of the village wall, they simply felt as if they were standing naked on the ice and snow. It was inevitable that they would be a little panicked.
, when arranging the formation, some people bumped into each other and fell to the ground, and the weapons naturally fell to the ground...
Hu Qi looked in the direction of Zha Tiansheng's finger. When he saw the Han army colliding and wrestling, they couldn't help laughing. Some people even stuffed their fingers into their mouths and blew a long
's whistle.
Zha Tiansheng suddenly felt a sense of relief, and his originally anxious heart was slightly relieved. He called Shen Nanbin beside him and said, "I'll give you two thousand riders, can you kill these Han dogs?!"
Shen Nanbin patted his chest and swore that there would be no problem. In his opinion, it was extremely easy for two thousand cavalry to deal with less than a thousand infantry. Even if the infantry formation had resisting horses, it would be extremely easy.
There are also archers behind the camp to provide cover, but so what? You have to know that everyone around you is a good man who can shoot a bow on horseback. If you charge and shoot, what else can be wrong?
Amidst the dull sound of horn horns, Shen Nanbin led the two thousand Hu cavalry battalion towards the Han army's position without any warning, trying to quickly rush through the bows and arrows that were more than a hundred paces wide in the shortest possible time.
The scope of the attack was a contact battle with the Han army's first blocking front.
In the Han army's formation, the person at the front was a member of Xu Huang's tribe, named Xu Mingyu.
Although he didn't understand Xu Huang's arrangements very well, he supported Xu Huang's order without a word and organized the Yong'an Battalion to form an array after resisting the horses in the camp. Now facing the rushing Hu Qi, he had no choice but to
Fearful, he clenched the sword with both hands, stared at Hu Qi who was getting closer and closer, and shouted loudly: "Sword and shield hand! Stand up the shield! Spear hand, step forward! Set up the spear! Get ready for battle!"
"Kill..." The spearmen lined up in three rows echoed scatteredly, subconsciously following the training tactics, they stood behind the horse and raised their spears diagonally to the front of the sword and shield man.
On top of the big shield, a jungle of spears and spears formed.
Bows and arrows also began to attack the camp. Scattered arrows fell in the middle of the rushing Hu Qi, just like small raindrops falling in the pond. Apart from splashing some ripples, they did not stir up anything.
What a storm...
Seeing such a situation, Xu Yu's heart sank suddenly, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.
Xu Yu naturally knew how many archers and crossbowmen there were in the camp, but now he only had this few shots!
What is this going to do?!
Xu Yu turned around suddenly and looked at Xu Huang's position standing on the wall of the camp. At this time, Xu Huang was also looking at him, and their eyes met in the air...
Xu Yu slowly turned around, feeling that his mouth and tongue were bitter and his throat was dry...
"Hahaha... What a big brother!" Xu Yucai laughed bitterly twice, and then he saw Hu riding on the horse and straightened up. The alarm bell sounded in his heart immediately, and he shouted, "... Lift up the shield! Lift up the shield!"
shield!"
Hu Qi, who was galloping, skillfully launched a rain of arrows, drawing black lines in the air and landing on the heads of the soldiers of the Yong'an Battalion led by Xu Yu...
The gap between veterans and new recruits is vividly displayed at this moment.
Those experienced veterans did not wait for Xu Yu's command to raise their shields. When they saw the barbarians standing up on horseback, they had already either grasped their shields tightly or leaned against their comrades with shields or to the side of the shelter.
, but the new recruits were still standing dumbly. Even under the shouts of the corps commander, chief commander and others, they were still at a loss and didn't know what they should do. When others were raising their shields to dodge, there were still some people.
Look up to see the rain of arrows coming towards you...
The temperature has dropped again, so cold...I can't even warm myself up even if I drink hot water...Is this the time to force me to drink boiled water?
