Chapter 1211 Counterattack! The first battle of the winged cavalry
Bai Xiaowen turned back and looked at the 600-winged cavalry under the high slope, uniformly wearing black fifty-fifty steel armor and looking solemn.
These six hundred winged cavalry were the elite troops he armed with more than 60,000 pieces of money after he entered the Three Kingdoms plane and raised more than 60,000 yuan. They will also be his support in the Three Kingdoms in the future.
Cecilia has told Bai Xiaowen that her commanding ability is limited and she can only train up to 800 winged cavalry that match her level.
In fact, it is enough.
According to Bai Xiaowen's inquiry, the combat effectiveness of the winged cavalry increases with the improvement of the organization, formation, and scale. The six hundred winged cavalry has a combat effectiveness of 27,000, which is equivalent to the combat effectiveness of each winged cavalry being increased to three times the initial value.
.
However, this three-fold increase is basically the limit of the improvement brought about by the hussar system. Eight hundred hussars have a combat power of 36,000. Individually, it is still three times the initial value.
After taking complete control of Youzhou, Bai Xiaowen planned to ask Cecilia to train another two hundred hussars, and then increase them after each battle to ensure that the number of 800 hussars would be enough.
If there were any more, even if Cecilia could be trained, he wouldn't be able to afford it.
The requirement for the main mission one [Harvest Horses and Soldiers] is that the combat effectiveness of the army is not less than 5,000. Bai Xiaowen's current combat effectiveness of the army has exceeded this value. He estimates that if he submits the mission now, he should be able to meet the requirements for starting the second main mission.
.
Don't think this is easy. If it were another awakened person, even if he was given the identity of Yuan Xi and entered the Three Kingdoms plane, it would not be that easy to get so much money.
After all, in the context of the Three Kingdoms in the Spirit Realm, Yuan Xi, the second son, was just a nominal governor of Youzhou. The military and political power of Youzhou was firmly controlled by Yuan Shao through civil and military officials such as Zhao Rong and Jiao Chu.
Bai Xiaowen mainly had clear ideas and high charisma, so he could continuously convince Tian Feng and Zhen to support him in a short period of time.
Of course, riding into Liaodong alone and killing Gongsun Du and his son alone is a manifestation of Bai Xiaowen's ability as a summoner to "form an army by one man". It is also an arduous task that most awakened people cannot accomplish.
Of course, in a realistic context, training a group of elite soldiers in three days sounds a bit fantasy. But the spiritual world is different from reality. Under the operation of the rules of the spiritual world, as long as there is money, food, soldiers, and generals who are good at training special arms (
Cecilia), special units can be trained in a short time.
Of course, the newly released wing cavalry only meets the standards in terms of hard power attributes, skills, etc. The combat literacy and tactical experience of the soldiers are still in a state of poverty. They need the baptism of battle and the elimination of life and death before they can grow up.
Bai Xiaowen stood up and said: "It's almost time. If you wait any longer, Jiao Chu, Zhang Nan's five thousand troops will be completely defeated by the two thousand Yellow Turban Army, and they will not be able to help us at all. Send the order, and the whole army will march towards the Snow Valley.
The battlefield is approaching."
Cecilia nodded, turned over and mounted Bai Yujing.
The flags were fluttering, the big flag with the word "Yuan" was hoisted, and the six hundred winged cavalry surged down like an iron stream.
The Taoist priest Lang Yazi did not have a mount, so he followed leisurely behind. However, the strange thing was that he was clearly taking a leisurely stroll, but he could reach a distance of several feet with one step, and could easily keep up with the galloping speed of the horse wing cavalry Youzhou.
Cecilia was covered in white armor (100 power points were spent to replace the default transformation of the spirit world rules). When she ran about two hundred meters away from the battlefield, she waved to stop, and the hussars behind her stopped one after another.
"Fire the arrow!"
At the command, the hussars took off their iron bows one after another and pulled out arrows made of hundreds of steel-forged arrowheads.
Whistle, rustle, rustle!
Arrows are like rain.
The hussars were aiming at the Yellow Turban Army. Although the two armies were fighting at this time, the Youzhou Army was constantly retreating. The Yellow Turban Army was in pursuit, not a criss-crossing melee formation, so the salvo of the 600 hussars was overwhelming.
Some of them hit the area where the Yellow Turban Army was located, and only a few were accidentally injured.
Bai Xiaowen rode the Fury Claw and jumped onto a mound, shouting loudly: "Jiao Chu, where is Zhang Nan!" With the addition of mental power, his voice was like rolling thunder, spreading throughout the entire place.
Among the rebels, Jiao Chu heard this and quickly replied: "The general is here!" He was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the second son, who was the governor of Youzhou, would also come to the battlefield and seemed to have brought an elite cavalry with him.
In despair, a glimmer of hope ignited in Jiao Chu's heart.
"I'll give you a stick of incense to reorganize the army!" Bai Xiaowen said sternly, "Otherwise, as the commander-in-chief, you will not be able to escape the blame for defeating the army!"
The continuous shooting of the hussars caused the Yellow Turban Army to suffer a lot of casualties. The horn sounded, and the Yellow Turban Army cooperated in three directions. Two rows of Yellow Turban elites held wooden shields in front, resisting the rain of arrows, and advanced slowly.
This gave Jiao Chu time to regroup. He hurriedly ordered the soldiers to assemble, and then with the soldiers formation as the center, he raised the general's flag again, collected the broken troops of each team, and reorganized the formation.
There is a characteristic of the ancient army in the spiritual world: if the leader dies, the army will be defeated like a mountain. Even if the enemy is outnumbered, they will inevitably flee. But if the leader is still there and raises a flag, the soldiers often regroup like ants.
Therefore, in ancient wars in the spiritual world, the status of generals is very important. "Three armies are easy to obtain, but a general is difficult to find" is not an empty saying.
In the contact battle just now, it was because the flag of Zhang Nan, the deputy general of the Youzhou Army, was cut down and his troops were scattered, that the Youzhou army was defeated so quickly.
Bai Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief. With Jiao Chu reorganizing the defeated troops, the defeated Youzhou troops would not disrupt the formation of the winged cavalry. Otherwise, he would have no choice but to kill and trample these defeated troops into a pulp together with them!
In this case, the casualties of the hussars will inevitably be greater.
Jiao Chu also knew the importance of the cavalry formation. While fleeing, he collected the broken troops and at the same time ordered the broken troops to split into two teams and ran away from both sides of the well-formed winged cavalry, like running water encountering a rock.
The elite swordsmen and shieldmen of the Yellow Turban Army protected the front, and the lethality of the Hussar's arrows was greatly reduced.
Fortunately, the winged cavalry used hundred-smelted steel arrowheads, which had a very strong shield-breaking ability. They could pass through the wooden shield defense of the Yellow Turban Swordsman and still cause some casualties. This prevented the Yellow Turban Army from making a large-scale advance and could only slow down.
Advance.
In the team channel.
"Are the main forces of the Yellow Turban Army here?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Qiao Rui, who had been accompanying the army, said: "That's right, but there is no trace of Zhang Jiao, only his flag!"
"Don't worry about him!"
Bai Xiaowen said in a deep voice, "Sister Qiao started playing the soul rhythm, Shuyi targeted the leader of the Yellow Turban Army! Start counterattack!"
